Okay. As we are waiting for the State of the Union to begin, I'm just gonna say a short prayer as we start. But Father God, we just come before You in the precious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. We invite Your presence in. Ruach Elohim, the Spirit of the living God, and the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit, we invite You in to have Your way, Father. Order our steps tonight and order my words, Father God, as we mightily go forth in You. Father, we pray for President Trump tonight, that You would order his words tonight. Give him wisdom, Father God. Let the Holy Spirit order his words as well, we ask, in the name of Jesus Christ, Father God. Lord, we just ask, that You would send Your holy angels to make a hedge of protection around that place tonight, in the Capitol, Father.

[05:06] Speaker 1: Lord, we ask, in the name of Jesus Christ, You would just lead and guide us tonight, Father God. Go before us, be our front and rear guard. By the power of the blood of Jesus Christ, by the spirit of the one true living God, may only the truth and power of Almighty God with authority now come forth, Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ. Father, let nothing pass through my mouth that doesn't pass through Your throne first. Allow me and the team the humble privilege, Lord, during this State of the Union, of being vessels of Your power. And Father, take all the glory for Yourself. We bless Your holy name. We turn this over to You tonight. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen and amen. Amen. So, we are, uh, moments away from the State of the Union beginning. And as it starts, we are going to put up the live feed for you. Um, I don't yet... I think they're just right now seating, uh, the guests of honor, let's say. But we will bring it to you live, uh, as soon as it starts.

[05:58] Speaker 1: But I wanted to talk about a couple of things that are happening on the cusp of the State of the Union. So-This is breaking. Over 150 US aircraft have swept into Europe and- and the Middle East, as President Trump is mulling over strikes on Iran. So, there has been a rapid increase in military presence near Iran. Nearly 150 aircraft has been shifted now to bases in Europe and the Middle East, uh, since the second round of nuclear talks ended without a breakthrough, February 17th. So, on the cusp of the State of the Union, we are watching a rapidly rising military presence from the United States of America in Europe and in the Middle East. Uh, in fact, I put out a short about this with the word from the Lord from February 16th that actually mentions some of this. And so, we put that out tonight as well.

[06:54] Speaker 1: Uh, we also have something else interesting that's happening, the Democrats have chosen to rip off Turning Point and the Super Bowl, and they have decided that they're going to do their own people's State of the Union. What to know about the Democratic counter to Trump's speech. So, apparently, they're doing this at the National Mall, and while the State of the Union is going on, they are offering a, quote, "alternative." Now, there is a spiritual component to this as well, but they are literally doing what Turning Point did for the Super Bowl, and they are ripping off that idea, and they are trying to make an alternative to the State of the Union because, well, they want to divide, and they- and they truly do want to do that in every, uh, sense of the word. And so, this is why we are watching this happen. I don't know if this has ever happened before during a State of the Union where an alternative was offered by the other party.

[07:54] Speaker 1: So, we're going to see what happens with that and how it unfolds, uh, as the night goes on. The State of the Union is late, meaning it normally comes earlier, I believe, in the month. It is coming six days before Purim. I want you to think about this. We have a State of the Union that is coming six days before Purim, that is marked by a blood moon beginning March 2nd at sundown 2026, and at the same time that this is happening, the US is rapidly increasing its military presence as we speak in Europe and in the Middle East, positioning itself for Iran.

[08:33] Speaker 1: Iran is where the Book of Esther is- was based in, and where Purim actually took place was in Iran, where those decrees of destruction went forth, uh, Haman convincing the king to put forth the- the decrees of destruction against the people of God, Haman being raised up to the m- uh, the position of Prime Minister, being an enemy of the people of God, and then the Lord sending forth divine reversals to reverse those decrees of destruction upon the head of the sender, and it ended up falling upon Haman and his family, Haman coming from the line of Amalek, when Saul's disobedience for not destroying the Amalekites when the Lord commanded him to actually caused that line to continue. Haman came from that line. So, literally, six days out from Purim, we have a few things happening. We have the State of the Union happening late this year. At the same time, we see the rapid increase in military presence that is in Europe and the Middle East right now.

[09:38] Speaker 1: So, if you could- if you would like to share this, please do, and like and subscribe. We would very much appreciate it, um, because we are going to be with you the entire State of the Union, reacting live to everything being said. Um, I- this just feels, the air of this State of the Union feels slightly different. It feels a bit heavier. It feels a bit more serious. Um, there are probably decisions as we speak, as far as the Middle East, that are being made, um, and I just find it interesting, of all years, the State of the Union comes lace- late this year, on the heels, literally, of Purim. So, as they are- they are bringing people in, meaning they're bringing in senators and congressmen and the Supreme Court of the United States of America, and guests of honor are all coming into the...

[10:35] Speaker 1: Yep, they're all coming in, so we are going to give you the live

[10:38] Speaker 2: The president of the United States.

[10:40] Speaker 1: Here he is.

[10:42] Speaker 3: (applause)

[10:44] Speaker 1: Here he comes to give the State of the Union 2026. So, he's just gonna be making his way to the podium, and we're going to be beginning in just a few minutes. I anticipate that much is going to be said tonight about the State of the Union. Much is going to be said about the economy. Much is going to be said about not only Middle Eastern nations, but potentially other nations right now that are at war. I expect even maybe something to be said, um, about what just happened with the cartels in Mexico. Uh, I believe probably many topics will be covered tonight on this State of the Union address. And we are also, on this State of the Union, on the heels, coming off of another historic snowstorm. So, we literally have the historic snowstorm, the State of the Union, uh, and then after that, um, we have Purim coming.

[11:47] Speaker 1: So, this has kind of been rapid fire, one after the other in February, and I remember I told you towards the beginning of February that this would be a February under fire.And we have seen that thus far in many forms and will continue to see that, uh, as we close out February and come into March. So, as President Trump is making his way, he's shaking many people's hands, he's saying hello to many people in the room, uh, being cordial as usual. I think that's Mr. Scalise behind him. I think that's who that is. Um, I just caught a glimpse of him walking in behind the President. Uh, and so, this is the White House feed. We are watching it from tonight with you. We will put the volume up once he comes to the podium and he begins to address, uh, the State of the Union. Uh, we will turn up the volume and I will be giving live reaction and commentary the entire time. So, we're just waiting for him here to make his way up, um, and to get started.

[13:02] Speaker 1: I believe the US men's hockey team is there as well. They beat Canada in a historic victory. This hasn't happened since 1980. And so, they, I believe, were invited, the US men's hockey team. I believe the women's were too, but there's a whole set of controversy going on with the US women's hockey team right now, people. But the US men's were invited as well to join, uh, I guess at the State of the Union, um, and to be a part of that, uh, incredible victory. Hasn't happened since 1980, the US beating Canada in the gold medal round of the Olympics. And you know what's interesting about that? That's 46 years, which is interesting considering what happened in 2020 and who became the 46th president, and then that was reversed and overturned in 2024. And here we go. I'm just turning up my volume so I can hear when the President comes to the podium. There's his family, and his lovely wife Melania in the front row.

[14:15] Speaker 1: Let's see who else is there, what other shots we're going to have here tonight of guests that have been there. I see many congressmen and women that, of course, are in the room as well. And let's see who else... if they're gonna give us a shot of the Supreme Court judges, because they just had, uh, the Supreme Court just had, with the tariffs, their, uh, uh, a ruling, a judgment came down there with the Supreme Court and President Trump implemented, I believe, a 10% tariff after that. We also see Vice President JD Vance, Speaker Johnson, uh, up there as well, as usual. That is the typical seat of the vice president and the Speaker of the House during the State of the Union address. So, he's just giving it a moment here. And, uh, we will be looking to get started and eagerly await what President Trump has to say tonight. Um, it has been an intense first year, to say the least.

[15:21] Speaker 1: He's also coming on the heels of the State of the Union after Sunday, an armed gunman was killed at Mar-a-Lago that entered with a shotgun and a gas can just this past Sunday, which was February 22nd, 2026. So this is... this is one of those Members of Congress, I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the President of the United States. I anticipate in just a moment here, we're gonna begin. Yep, USA.

[16:02] Speaker 1: Men's hockey team has to be loving that right now

[16:09] Speaker 4: Well, thank you very much everybody. It's really an honor. Speaker Johnson, Vice President Vance.

[16:17] Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.

[16:18] Speaker 4: First Lady of the United States.

[16:21] Speaker 1: Very nice. Acknowledging his wife, First Lady Melania Trump. And she has her son Barrett next to her, who's a head taller, by the way, than everybody else there in that front row. God bless him. He's tall. He's a tall man.

[16:44] Speaker 4: Second Lady of the United States.

[16:48] Speaker 1: Bucha Vance, who by the way, I believe is pregnant. They're expecting their fourth child together. First time that's happened, I believe, in the White House, this type of pregnancy.

[17:02] Speaker 4: Members of Congress and my fellow Americans.

[17:06] Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.

[17:07] Speaker 4: Our nation is back bigger, better, richer, and stronger than ever before.

[17:22] Speaker 1: And he's gonna be, be listing all the reasons why the nation is back in just a moment here.

[17:26] Speaker 4: Just in five months from now, our country will celebrate an epic milestone in American history.

[17:31] Speaker 1: 250th.

[17:32] Speaker 4: The 250th anniversary of our glorious American independence. This July 4th, we will mark two and a half centuries of liberty and triumph, progress and freedom in the most incredible and exceptional nation ever to exist on the face-

[17:49] Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.

[17:49] Speaker 4: ... of the Earth. And-

[17:50] Speaker 1: Yes.

[17:51] Speaker 4: ... you've seen nothing yet. We're gonna do better and better and better. This is the golden age of America.

[17:57] Speaker 1: Interesting. Golden age. He had said that the night he was elected too, I believe. Same thing. America is entering its golden age.

[18:11] Speaker 4: When I last spoke in this chamber 12 months ago, I had just inherited a nation in crisis-

[18:18] Speaker 1: Inherited just-

[18:18] Speaker 4: ... with a stagnant economy, inflation at record levels, a wide open border, horrendous recruitment for military and police, rampant crime at home-

[18:30] Speaker 1: And they, they'd like to be in that border lately.

[18:30] Speaker 4: ... and wars and chaos all over the world.

[18:33] Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. Most numbers of wars, yes.

[18:34] Speaker 4: But tonight, after just one year, I can say with dignity and pride that we have achieved a transformation like no one has ever seen before and a turnaround for the ages. It is indeed a turnaround for the ages.

[18:50] Speaker 1: Yes. Many fronts he's talking about, this turnaround. They're giving him big standing ovation in the chambers.

[19:14] Speaker 4: And we will never go back to where we were just a very short time ago. We're not going back.

[19:20] Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.

[19:21] Speaker 4: Today our border is secure.

[19:25] Speaker 5: USA! USA!

[19:25] Speaker 1: We have another USA chant breaking out. I anticipate this is gonna be happening a lot during the State of the Union address.

[19:34] Speaker 4: Thank you. Today our border is secure, our spirit is restored.

[19:39] Speaker 1: They just killed a-

[19:39] Speaker 4: Inflation is plummeting.

[19:41] Speaker 1: ... a member in Mexico.

[19:42] Speaker 4: Incomes are rising fast.

[19:44] Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.

[19:45] Speaker 4: The roaring economy is roaring like never before, and our enemies are scared. Our military-

[19:52] Speaker 1: Worry.

[19:52] Speaker 4: ... and police are stacked, and America is respected again, perhaps like never before.

[20:02] Speaker 1: He always says peace through strength when it comes to dealing with the nations of the earth and the volatility of those nations within the earth. That peace through strength, they're certainly doing that and ramping it up in the Middle East right now.

[20:13] Speaker 4: After four years in which millions and millions of illegal aliens poured across our borders, totally unvetted and unchecked, we now have the strongest-

[20:22] Speaker 1: And terrorists.

[20:23] Speaker 4: ... and most secure border in American history by far.

[20:27] Speaker 1: And traffickers. They actually, the military, um, shot down a drone that the cartel actually sent into airspace. That was a big no-no, and that recently happened too, within the past week, week and a half-

[20:39] Speaker 4: For the past nine months-

[20:40] Speaker 1: ... is that was shot down.

[20:40] Speaker 4: ... zero illegal aliens have been admitted to the United States.

[20:49] Speaker 1: Zero. And they're putting that up so everybody understands what zero means. It means none, nada, nothing has been allowed to enter illegally.

[20:59] Speaker 4: But we will always allow people to come in legally, people that will love our country and will work hard to maintain our country.

[21:07] Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. You let the people in who want to be law- law-abiding citizens and actually contribute to this country, and not traffic in what is destroying it.

[21:18] Speaker 4: The flow of deadly fentanyl across our border is down by a record 56% in one year.

[21:25] Speaker 1: Wow. That's well, that's well over half that it's down. That's been a big hit then to the cartels as well, um, and to their financial, um, worth.

[21:37] Speaker 4: And last year the murder rate saw its single largest decline in recorded history. This is the biggest decline, think of it, in recorded history. The lowest number in over 125 years.

[21:51] Speaker 1: Right.

[21:52] Speaker 4: In 1900. In fact, substantially before my wonderful father, I had a wonderful father, Fred.

[21:59] Speaker 1: Very nice, he's acknowledging.

[21:59] Speaker 4: Before he was born, substantially before he was born. That's a long time ago. He wouldn't like me to say that, but that's a long time ago. The Biden administration and its allies in Congress gave us the worst inflation in the history of our country.

[22:16] Speaker 1: That is true.

[22:17] Speaker 4: But in 12 months, my administration has driven core inflation down to the lowest level in more than five years. And in the last three months of 2025, it was down to 1.7%.

[22:31] Speaker 1: That's a big drop. It was a very serious issue. There is Mr. Marco Rubio there. Pete Hegseth, Pam Gandhi, Mr. Bissett, Scott Bissett.

[22:44] Speaker 4: Gasoline, which reached a peak of over $6 a gallon in some states under my predecessor-

[22:51] Speaker 1: That is true. California, New York.

[22:52] Speaker 4: ... it was, quite honestly, a disaster. It is now below $2.30 a gallon in most states, and in some places $1.99 a gallon.

[23:00] Speaker 1: Wow.

[23:01] Speaker 4: And when I visited-

[23:02] Speaker 1: That's a big drop.

[23:03] Speaker 4: ... the great state of Iowa just a few weeks ago, I even saw $1.85 a gallon for gasoline.

[23:10] Speaker 1: Send that to New York. Hey, Iowa, send those gas prices to New York. We're at about $2.89, $2.98 right now a gallon here, which is way better than it was, uh, during the Biden administration. We should have got a-

[23:22] Speaker 4: Mortgage rates are the lowest in four years-

[23:22] Speaker 1: ... I mean, President Biden owed all of us gas money after what happened.

[23:25] Speaker 4: ... and falling fast. And the annual cost of a typical new mortgage is down almost $5,000-

[23:28] Speaker 1: I'll take the $1.85 too. Mm-hmm.

[23:30] Speaker 4: ... just since I took office, one year. And low interest rates will solve the Biden-created housing problem-

[23:42] Speaker 1: Interest rates are going down right now.

[23:43] Speaker 4: ... while at the same time protecting the values of those people who already own a house-

[23:47] Speaker 1: Yes.

[23:47] Speaker 4: ... that really feel rich for the first time in their lives. We want to protect those values, we want to keep those values up. We're gonna do both.

[23:54] Speaker 1: Yes.

[23:59] Speaker 4: And we are gonna keep it that way.The stock market is at 53 all-time record highs since the election. Think of that. One year.

[24:08] Speaker 1: 53 all-time record highs in a year.

[24:10] Speaker 4: Busting pensions, 401 (k) s and retirement-

[24:12] Speaker 1: Wow.

[24:13] Speaker 4: ... accounts for the millions and millions of Americans are all gaining. Everybody's up, way up.

[24:17] Speaker 1: I'd be interested to see how the stock market responds with a, the attack on Iran.

[24:21] Speaker 4: In four long years, the last administration got less than-

[24:21] Speaker 1: Meaning that they're ramping up their military presence.

[24:23] Speaker 4: ... $1 trillion in new investment to the United States. And when I say "less," substantially less. In 12 months, I secured commitments for more than $18 trillion pouring in from all over the globe.

[24:37] Speaker 6: (applause)

[24:40] Speaker 1: $18 trillion in global investments into the United States in just one year. He got companies to invest $18 trillion in a year.

[24:47] Speaker 4: Think of it. Much less than $1 trillion for four years-

[24:51] Speaker 1: In a year.

[24:51] Speaker 4: ... versus much more than $18 trillion for one year. What a difference a president can make.

[24:55] Speaker 1: He is a businessman though, through and through. That's his background. And he's made a lot of friends across the globe.

[25:01] Speaker 4: A short time ago, we were a dead country. Now, we are the hottest country anywhere in the world, the hottest.

[25:08] Speaker 6: (applause)

[25:10] Speaker 1: They did try to put this nation on life support and pull the plug during the Biden administration, go... trying to attempt to put Kamala Harris then at the helm, um, and basically pull the plug of this country being on life support.

[25:22] Speaker 4: As thousands of new businesses-

[25:23] Speaker 1: Praise God that didn't happen.

[25:24] Speaker 4: ... are forming and factories, plants and laboratories are being built, we have added 70,000 new construction jobs in just a very short period of time. It's getting bigger and bigger and stronger.

[25:35] Speaker 1: And that's his forte is construction.

[25:35] Speaker 4: Nobody can believe what they're watching. American oil production is up by more than 600,000 barrels a day and we just received, from our new friend and partner Venezuela, more than 80 million barrels of oil.

[25:51] Speaker 1: 80 million-

[25:52] Speaker 6: (applause)

[25:53] Speaker 1: ... from Venezuela after Operation Midnight Hammer was deployed in Venezuela to take out Maduro, their illegal leader.

[26:02] Speaker 4: American natural gas-

[26:02] Speaker 1: Uh, we all watched that happen.

[26:03] Speaker 4: ... production is at an all-time high because I kept my promise to drill, baby, drill.

[26:09] Speaker 1: Uh, he said that before whi- while the election was going on that they got elected, they were gonna "drill, baby, drill," and that's what he keeps doing. Um, and I don't see him stopping in that regard.

[26:22] Speaker 6: (applause)

[26:22] Speaker 4: More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country. Think about that.

[26:28] Speaker 1: I do want to see him acknowledge the Lord-

[26:29] Speaker 4: Any time in the history of our country-

[26:29] Speaker 1: ... during this state of the union, let's see if it happens.

[26:32] Speaker 6: (applause)

[26:32] Speaker 4: ... and 100% of all jobs created under my administration have been in the private sector.

[26:40] Speaker 6: (applause)

[26:41] Speaker 1: Significant increase in private sector jobs. One of... 100% of all jobs created have been in the private sector-

[26:48] Speaker 6: (applause)

[26:50] Speaker 1: ... because they have been-

[26:51] Speaker 4: We ended-

[26:52] Speaker 1: ... closing the government sector pay cut.

[26:53] Speaker 4: ... DEI in America.

[26:54] Speaker 6: (applause)

[26:55] Speaker 1: Getting rid of DEI, yep, in America. That's a biggie. They're giving a standing ovation on that one. That caused a lot of issues, DEI, a lot of unnecessary issues.

[27:06] Speaker 4: We cut a record number of job-killing regulations and in one year, we have lifted 2.4 million Americans, a record, off of food stamps.

[27:17] Speaker 1: 2.4 million Americans taken off of food stamps. That is quite an incredible number. He wants to put people to work, President Trump. He really does.

[27:26] Speaker 4: And for all of these reasons, I say tonight, members of Congress, the state of our union is strong.

[27:37] Speaker 6: (applause)

[27:42] Speaker 1: Yeah, there's another standing ovation here for that. And remember, you need the Lord at the helm to continue a strong State of the Union. Remember that. Need the Lord.

[27:54] Speaker 4: Our country is winning again. In fact, we're winning so much that we really don't know what to do about it. People are asking me-

[28:03] Speaker 1: (laughs) They don't know what to...

[28:03] Speaker 4: ... "Please, please, please, Mr. President, we're winning too much. We can't take it anymore. We're not used to winning in our country. Until you came along, we're just always losing, but now we're winning too much."

[28:15] Speaker 1: Best president ever-

[28:17] Speaker 4: But I say, no, no, no, you're going to win again.

[28:17] Speaker 1: ... ever at KDG 2023.

[28:20] Speaker 4: You're going to win big. You're going to win bigger than ever. And to prove that point, to prove that point, here with us tonight is a group of winners who just made the entire nation proud.

[28:32] Speaker 1: He's going to acknowledge the hockey team.

[28:33] Speaker 4: This gold, gold medal-

[28:34] Speaker 1: Medal.

[28:34] Speaker 4: ... Olympic hockey team. Come on up.

[28:37] Speaker 1: Uh, yep, I had told you at the beginning they have been invited to the State of the Union. Here they are. They did something that hasn't been done since 1980, President Trump welcoming them into the State of the Union. Now, 46 years in the making, this has been. USA chant going off in chambers. They fought it out, this hockey team, God bless them, because in overtime, they won against Canada at the Olympics. So, big, big moments for them to come into the State of the Union as champions, um, and it's just a wonderful moment that President Trump is acknowledging them, um, and has welcomed them into the chambers.

[29:27] Speaker 6: (applause)

[29:41] Speaker 1: I laughed so hard when he said, "Hottest country in the world," but it's true, we're thriving. (laughs)

[29:46] Speaker 4: Go ahead.

[29:46] Speaker 1: @Mar- marcolocollins, yes. Yep. "Hottest country right now, it's freezing in the Northeast." So, I don't know what part of the country he's talking about, but up here, it's freezing right now. It's going down to 12 degrees tonight.

[30:01] Speaker 6: (chants) USA! USA! USA!

[30:02] Speaker 1: We're gonna see many of these USA chants tonight. That is gonna... the State of the Union's gonna be paused for a moment so it could echo in the chambers.This is a great moment for the US men's hockey team, and what they have-

[30:16] Speaker 4: That's the first time I've ever seen them get up.

[30:19] Speaker 7: (laughs)

[30:19] Speaker 1: They all jumped up, all of them.

[30:20] Speaker 4: And actually not all of them did get up.

[30:23] Speaker 1: (laughs) He's gonna start calling people out in a minute.

[30:26] Speaker 4: They beat a, a fantastic Canadian team in overtime, as everybody saw, as did the American women, who will soon be coming to the White House.

[30:34] Speaker 7: (cheering)

[30:35] Speaker 1: Very nice. American women's hockey team, two gold medal winners. They have been invited by the president to the White House as well. Now, the women's hockey team does not comprise NHL players, because there's not an NHL women's hockey team. So, that is actually, I believe, comprised mostly of college students from across the country that make up the women's US Olympic hockey team. Whereas the men's hockey team, I believe is actually NHL players that mostly comprise their team.

[31:09] Speaker 4: We're in the Oval Office before, and I just want to say, a second very big congratulations to Team USA. But I have to say that, and I told them this, and we took a vote of the team. I said, "Anybody votes no, I'm not doing it." So they stood there, and they weren't about to say no, 'cause I've never seen a goaltender play as well as goalie Connor Halibut.

[31:31] Speaker 1: Yes, he called the goalie.

[31:31] Speaker 7: (cheering)

[31:31] Speaker 1: He really loved the goalie for the US men's hockey team. This was recorded as well.

[31:41] Speaker 7: (cheering)

[31:52] Speaker 1: "You missed your calling, Grace. You should've been a sports anchor." Well, thank you very much. I firmly agree. My father, God bless him, but he put me in every sport except soccer-

[32:02] Speaker 4: You did 46 shots on goal, and I asked him-

[32:04] Speaker 1: ... and made me watch hockey fights all the time as a child.

[32:05] Speaker 4: ... for one shot, the one where you put-

[32:07] Speaker 1: So, I have a little bit of background.

[32:07] Speaker 4: ... in the back, can it hit the neck of your stick and bounce off? Do you practice that, or was that a little lucky?

[32:14] Speaker 7: (laughs)

[32:14] Speaker 4: He refused to answer that question.

[32:16] Speaker 7: (laughs)

[32:17] Speaker 4: But I just want to tell you that the members of this great hockey squad will be very happy to hear, based on their vote and my vote, and in this case, my vote was more important-

[32:29] Speaker 7: (laughs)

[32:29] Speaker 4: ... that I will soon be presenting Connor with our highest civilian honor, which we will be given, and which has been given to many athletes over the years. But when I say many, not too many, like 12.

[32:42] Speaker 1: Is this the Medal of Freedom? Is this what this is?

[32:44] Speaker 4: It's called the highest civilian honor in our country, the Presidential-

[32:51] Speaker 1: Oh, it's-

[32:51] Speaker 4: Medal of Freedom.

[32:52] Speaker 1: Right, the Medal of Freedom.

[32:54] Speaker 7: (cheering)

[32:54] Speaker 1: So, the goalie is going to be presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom for fighting off Canada for like an hour and a half with pucks flying everywhere. So, goalie did an amazing, amazing job. And the US was down at one point, a man, because somebody got caught hooking, and they got put in the penalty box for three minutes, and they were down, and they had to like-

[33:18] Speaker 4: Great athletes who've gotten that very great vest.

[33:18] Speaker 1: ... fight for the draw for a whole three minutes with an advantage.

[33:20] Speaker 4: And I thought he deserved it. And I did take a vote, every single one of them, I said, "I'm not giving it if anybody goes no." And every single one of them rapidly put up their hand. So, I want to thank you all. What a special job you did. What special champions you are. Thank you very much.

[33:35] Speaker 1: They are.

[33:35] Speaker 7: (cheering)

[33:37] Speaker 1: They really are. It was a wonderful moment for the United States of America to have that after 46 years, after the Miracle on Ice, they called it, happened, uh, in the year 2026. As President Trump was, uh, ending his first year of his second term.

[33:56] Speaker 4: I'm also pleased to say that the next time the Olympic torch is lit, it will be here in America for the 2028-

[34:04] Speaker 1: And this is important.

[34:05] Speaker 4: Olympics. And it's the summer version, right in Los Angeles. We're gonna do a good job in Los Angeles.

[34:10] Speaker 1: Months before our next election, the Olympics and their ceremonies are coming to the soil of the United States of America in the same year we have our election, and in the same year a Shmita year actually happens, the year of our election, 20 years after the election, the Trump election happened.

[34:26] Speaker 4: And Los Angeles is going to be safe-

[34:28] Speaker 1: When the banking crash happened.

[34:28] Speaker 4: ... just like Washington DC is now one of the safest cities in the country.

[34:34] Speaker 1: We deployed the National Guard, yep, to clean up the streets of Washington DC. It was getting out of control down there with what was happening, and the National Guard-

[34:41] Speaker 4: And this year-

[34:41] Speaker 1: ... was deployed.

[34:42] Speaker 4: ... and I must say, I got 'em both. I got 'em in my first term, and I was disappointed, because I didn't think I'd be the president when this happened, but strange things took place, and now I've got 'em, because I got the Olympics, I got the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

[35:02] Speaker 1: Yep.

[35:02] Speaker 4: And I wanted to claim the 250th, but I didn't get away with that one. I couldn't claim that one for myself. But we're getting the World Cup, so we have the World Cup and the Olympics coming, and that is exciting news.

[35:16] Speaker 7: (cheering)

[35:18] Speaker 1: This Olympics will be converging with the election and with the Shmita year, as well.

[35:23] Speaker 4: So, this will be a year to celebrate our country and the heroes who have kept it free, men like Buddy Taggart. At age 17, Buddy volunteered to defend America in World War II, serving in the Pacific under the great General Douglas MacArthur.

[35:43] Speaker 1: And thank you for your service, Mr. Buddy.

[35:44] Speaker 4: He fought bravely in the famous Battle of Manila, worked so hard. He was badly wounded and almost killed by enemy machine guns in Luzon. And 81 years ago this month, he liberated the largest internment camp in the Philippines, one of the largest-

[36:02] Speaker 1: 81 years ago.

[36:02] Speaker 4: ... anywhere in the world. Buddy earned many honors, including a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, came home, started a family, and tonight, he is in the gallery looking forward to-

[36:13] Speaker 1: Wonderful.

[36:13] Speaker 4: ... July 4th, 2026.

[36:15] Speaker 7: (cheering)

[36:16] Speaker 4: His 51rd birthday.

[36:16] Speaker 1: 250th anniversary of America coming up this year.

[36:22] Speaker 2: And there he is. Oh, look how sweet he looks, sitting next to the First Lady. He's sitting next to the First Lady technically, and Usha Vance.

[36:52] Speaker 4: So buddy, you're a brave man and we salute you. Even in times of challenge, setback, and immense heartache, the spirit of 1776 has always shone through very brightly. It was July 4th of last year when flood waters tore through a girls' summer camp in central Texas.

[37:13] Speaker 2: July 4th, Kerrville, Texas-

[37:13] Speaker 4: One of the worst things I've ever seen. I was there.

[37:15] Speaker 2: ... and the surrounding areas.

[37:16] Speaker 4: Rising 26 feet in the matter of minutes, tragically claiming many, many lives. Oh, remember that one?

[37:23] Speaker 2: And Genesis 7:4 talks about the flood, flooding the earth. Very-

[37:24] Speaker 4: As the waters threatened to sweep her away, 11-year-old Milly Kate McLeman closed her eyes and prayed to God. She thought she was going to die. Those prayers were answered when Coast Guard rescue swimmer Scott Ruskin descended from a helicopter above. Nobody knew where he came from. It was Scott's first-ever rescue mission. A young guy, but-

[37:49] Speaker 2: Wow.

[37:49] Speaker 4: ... very brave. Very, very top. Always top in his class. And he lifted not just Milly Kate, but 164 others to safety.

[37:59] Speaker 2: I know somebody personally who helped to fight that flood, Pastor Ricky Ray Robertson of Kerrville, Texas. He experienced that flood firsthand. They watched their barn float away, actually. Very, very serious, what happened on July 4th last year. And of all years, it was in the year 2025 on a date, 07/04/2025, which happens to be 9/11, the date of the flood by equals 9/11.

[38:33] Speaker 4: They watched Scott from a distance and they couldn't believe what they were seeing. The winds were blowing, the rain was pouring, everything was going. And that rapid water, nobody had ever seen anything like it. They said, "Wow, that's something." Tonight, Scott and Milly Kate are here together, reunited for the very first time. Thank you, Scott, Milly Kate.

[38:56] Speaker 2: Aw. The young girl he rescued is with him. These are the people that are the true heroes. Not celebrities and movie stars and, and, and Bad Bunny and the rest of them. These are the individuals that are the real heroes, the ones on the line, on the line.

[39:18] Speaker 4: And Petty Officer Ruskin, I'm pleased to inform you that I am now awarding you the Legion of Merit for extraordinary heroism, which is what it was, extraordinary heroism. Thank you.

[39:32] Speaker 2: No conditions. Yes, it was. Absolutely, it was. And for all the, the dates to happen on July 4th, on a date that equals 9/11. July 4th is '11, so this equals five times. Very nice, they're gonna award it to him, right at the State of the Union

[39:58] Speaker 4: Thank you very much. From 1776 to today, every generation of Americans has stepped forward to defend life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and they're really doing it for the next generation. But now it's our turn. Together we're building a nation where every child has the chance to reach higher and go further.

[40:23] Speaker 2: Okay, segue.

[40:24] Speaker 4: Where government answers to the people, not the powerful, and where the interests of hardworking American citizens are always our first and ultimate concern. That is the debt we owe to the heroes who came before us.

[40:38] Speaker 2: Yes.

[40:38] Speaker 4: And that is the promise we must keep to America for our 250th year.

[40:44] Speaker 2: 50th. This is a big deal that this president is running.

[40:45] Speaker 4: Last year, I urged this Congress to begin the mission by passing the largest tax cuts in American history, and our Republican majorities delivered so beautifully. Thank you, Republicans.

[40:58] Speaker 2: I think those tax cuts were in the Big Beautiful Bill, if I'm not mistaken. These are the largest tax cuts, that's what President Trump is speaking of, when that was passed. Very interesting things surrounding the Big Beautiful Bill as well.

[41:13] Speaker 4: All Democrats, every single one of them voted against these really important and very necessary massive tax cuts. They wanted large-scale tax increases to hurt the people instead. But we held strong, and with the great big beautiful bill, we gave you no tax on tips, no tax on overtime.

[41:46] Speaker 2: No tax on tips, even. No tips on overtime.

[41:46] Speaker 4: And no tax on Social Security for our great people.

[41:49] Speaker 2: No tax on Social Security. That was big, that was a big talking point for him. Even during the election, no tax on tips. That was something that he, uh, spoke about through the election. Um, and then they delivered on that when he became president. No tax on tips, no tax on overtime.

[42:04] Speaker 4: And we also made interest on auto loans tax deductible, the first time.

[42:09] Speaker 2: Interest on auto loans is tax-deductible now.

[42:09] Speaker 4: But only if the car is made in America.

[42:15] Speaker 2: Now that interest is tax-deductible on your returns. Uh, that is something that hasn't been done before.

[42:23] Speaker 1: So, they're really trying to find creative ways ...

[42:24] Speaker 4: ... Pennsylvania, I met Megan Hemhouser-

[42:27] Speaker 1: ... to put more money back in people's pockets.

[42:28] Speaker 4: ... a devoted mom who homeschools her children, beautiful, two children, during the day while waiting tables at night as her husband works overtime operating very heavy equipment.

[42:42] Speaker 1: Yes.

[42:42] Speaker 4: Megan is here this evening, and she's happy to tell you that she is so, so much richer because with no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and our expanded child tax credit, done again by Republicans, Megan and her husband will take home more than $5,000 extra just for the year, cutting her tax bill in more than half.

[43:08] Speaker 1: Wow.

[43:08] Speaker 8: (applause)

[43:10] Speaker 1: Cutting a tax bill in half for a ...

[43:14] Speaker 4: Megan, please stand up.

[43:16] Speaker 1: ... mega payment, that's a big deal.

[43:16] Speaker 4: We're fighting for you, Megan.

[43:17] Speaker 1: It is a lot. That's a big savings for them.

[43:22] Speaker 4: Thank you, Megan. Thank you, Megan. We're fighting for you, Megan. Under our bill, parents like Megan can also activate their children's brand new Trump accounts.

[43:36] Speaker 1: Yes.

[43:36] Speaker 4: I didn't name it. I didn't name it.

[43:38] Speaker 1: This is something else that, that-

[43:39] Speaker 4: I did not name it.

[43:40] Speaker 1: ... had not really been done before-

[43:41] Speaker 8: (appluse)

[43:41] Speaker 4: ... that they're doing for the children of this nation.

[43:46] Speaker 8: (appluse)

[43:46] Speaker 4: Nobody believes me, but I did not name it. It was named by a very tall man who stood in the-

[43:49] Speaker 1: The no tax on overtime helped me get, uh, helped me g- a lot getting more back in taxes this year. I'm so thankful that he did that.

[43:55] Speaker 4: Tax-free investment accounts for-

[43:57] Speaker 1: It has blessed a lot of people.

[43:57] Speaker 4: ... every American child. This is something that's so special, and it has taken off and gone through the roof. Millions will be pre-funded courtesy of the US Treasury and private individuals like Michael and Susan Dell, who have donated $6,250,000,000 to fund the Trump accounts for 25 million American children.

[44:19] Speaker 1: Wow.

[44:21] Speaker 8: (applause)

[44:21] Speaker 1: 25 million children-

[44:22] Speaker 4: They're great people.

[44:24] Speaker 1: ... will have a Trump account in the nation. Took over $6 billion to fund it. That Trump account is genius. Renee is one of our moderators. Yes, something unique that, that we haven't seen other administrations do that President Trump is doing.

[44:41] Speaker 4: You know, I asked Michael Dell, "How do you make all that money?" He said, "Well, I just sat under my door in school, and I made computers, and I'd sell them to people. And I just kept selling and selling and selling and..." Pretty amazing story. That's called the American dream. He sold a lot of computers, a lot of those laptops.

[44:55] Speaker 1: Selling computers, yeah.

[44:55] Speaker 4: So, I congratulate him on that. But I really thank him and Susan, as well as o- others, like Brad Gersten, very tremendous guy.

[45:03] Speaker 8: (applause)

[45:03] Speaker 4: He was behind it right from the beginning. Brad Gersten. Thank you, Brad.

[45:14] Speaker 1: To find funding to give 25 million children an account each, uh, is, is not an easy feat to do.

[45:20] Speaker 4: So, with modest additional contributions, these young people's accounts could grow to over $100,000 or more by the time they turn 18. Think of it, how much money is that for somebody that started with nothing.

[45:31] Speaker 1: Think about that, what they're looking to do for these children.

[45:35] Speaker 4: Over 100,000, could be much more than that. To make this investment in our children's future, go to trumpaccounts.gov, trumpaccounts.gov. And a lot of people are doing it. It's setting every record in the book. It's popular. They knew what was going to, what it was going to take. So proud of them.

[45:52] Speaker 1: My son was working three jobs to provide for his family, but he said, "Trump is changing taxes so our children can have a future." Yes.

[45:57] Speaker 8: (applause)

[45:57] Speaker 4: I'm so proud of the people that got it started, and now it's just taking off. One of the primary reasons for our country's stunning economic turnaround-

[46:01] Speaker 1: They're trying to pave a way for the children of this nation to have a future as we have today.

[46:02] Speaker 4: ... the biggest in history, where the Dow Jones broke 50,004 years ahead of schedule, and the S&P hit 7,000 where it wasn't supposed to do it for many years, were tariffs.

[46:16] Speaker 1: Oh, here we go.

[46:18] Speaker 4: Hundreds of tariffs.

[46:18] Speaker 1: He's seguing into the tariffs.

[46:19] Speaker 4: Hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars to make great deals for our country, both economically and on a national security basis. Everything was working well, countries that were ripping us off for decades are now paying us hundreds of billions of dollars. They were ripping us so badly, you all know that. Everybody knows it.

[46:38] Speaker 1: He called all those countries out for ripping off the United States of America.

[46:42] Speaker 8: (applause)

[46:42] Speaker 4: Even the Democrats know it, they just don't want to say. And yet, these countries-

[46:43] Speaker 1: Every last one of them.

[46:43] Speaker 4: ... are now happy and so are we. I mean, we made deals, the deals are all done, and they're happy. They're not making money like they used to, but we're making a lot of money. There was no inflation, tremendous growth. And the big story was how Donald Trump called the economy correctly, and 22 Nobel Prize winners in economics didn't. They got it totally wrong. They got it really wrong.

[47:08] Speaker 1: He's calling them out for not giving any Nobel Prize.

[47:09] Speaker 4: And then, just four days ago, an unfortunate ruling from the United States Supreme Court, it just came down, it came down.

[47:16] Speaker 8: (applause)

[47:16] Speaker 4: Very unfortunate ruling.

[47:19] Speaker 1: I had a feeling he was gonna bring up SCOTUS because it's about the tariffs that they brought down.

[47:21] Speaker 4: But the good news is that almost all countries and corporations want to keep the deal that they already made, right, Scott? Knowing that the legal power that I, as president, have to make a new deal could be far worse for them, and therefore, they will continue to work along the same successful path that we had negotiated before the Supreme Court's unfortunate involvement.

[47:48] Speaker 1: He's calling them out. He is, he is doing it very public, what happened here.

[47:53] Speaker 4: So, despite the disappointing ruling, it's powerful. Country-saving, it's saving our country the kind of money we're taking in. Peace-protecting. Many of the wars I settled was because of the threat of tariffs. I wouldn't have been able to settle without it.

[48:02] Speaker 1: The Supreme Court put down a ruling against the tariffs that he had in place, and I believe that it, it put ... it's a 10% tariff.

[48:06] Speaker 4: Will remain in place under fully approved and tested alternative legal statutes.

[48:11] Speaker 1: An executive order.

[48:12] Speaker 4: They have been tested for a long time. They're a little more complex, but they're actually probably better. Leading to a solution that will be even stronger than before. Congressional action will not be necessary. It's already time-tested and approved.... and as time goes by, I believe that tariffs paid for by foreign countries will, like in the past, substantially-

[48:37] Speaker 1: Tariffs is how we made our money around the time of the Civil War.

[48:37] Speaker 4: ... replaced the modern day system of income tax-

[48:40] Speaker 1: We called tariffs.

[48:40] Speaker 4: ... taking a great financial burden off the people that I love.

[48:46] Speaker 9: (cheering) (clapping)

[48:47] Speaker 1: And so he's tr- uh, attempting to do the same. Keep calm and tariff on. That's right, Brenda. Keep calm and tariff on, because tariffs were a, a norm to the United States of America-

[48:57] Speaker 4: Moving forward, factories-

[48:59] Speaker 1: ... around the time of the Civil War-

[48:59] Speaker 4: ... jobs, investment, and trillions-

[49:01] Speaker 1: And then they got into-

[49:02] Speaker 4: ... and trillions of dollars will continue pouring into-

[49:04] Speaker 1: ... income tax.

[49:04] Speaker 4: ... the United States of America.

[49:06] Speaker 1: And all of a sudden-

[49:07] Speaker 4: Because we finally have a president-

[49:07] Speaker 1: ... things segueed into the Federal Reserve was opened-

[49:09] Speaker 4: ... who puts America first.

[49:09] Speaker 1: ... and all these things happened in the station.

[49:11] Speaker 4: I love America.

[49:14] Speaker 9: (clapping)

[49:18] Speaker 1: And he really does wanna try to do right by America. Um, he really tried-

[49:24] Speaker 4: For decades before I came along-

[49:27] Speaker 1: ... to make it seem like this.

[49:27] Speaker 4: ... we had the exact opposite, from trade to healthcare, from energy to immigration. Everything was stolen and rigged in order to drain the wealth out of the productive, hardworking people who make our country great, who make our country run. Under Biden and his corrupt partners in Congress and beyond, it reached a breaking point with the green new scam, open borders for everyone. They poured in by the millions and millions from prisons, from mental institutions.

[49:58] Speaker 1: Traffickers.

[49:59] Speaker 4: They were murderers.

[50:00] Speaker 1: Drug traffickers, human traffickers.

[50:02] Speaker 4: 11,888 murders.

[50:02] Speaker 1: Human traffickers, terrorists.

[50:02] Speaker 4: They came into our country.

[50:03] Speaker 1: They were bringing them in through Mexico.

[50:05] Speaker 4: You allowed that to happen.

[50:05] Speaker 1: Through the border.

[50:06] Speaker 4: And record-setting inflation that cost the typical family $34,000 in just a speck of time. Now, the same people in this chamber who voted for those disasters, suddenly use the word affordability, a word ... They just used it. Somebody gave it to them. Knowing full well that they caused and created the increased prices that-

[50:31] Speaker 1: They were the authors of that.

[50:32] Speaker 4: ... all of our citizens had to endure. You caused that problem. You caused that problem.

[50:38] Speaker 1: Okay, good for him-

[50:38] Speaker 9: (clapping)

[50:38] Speaker 1: ... for calling them out in chambers, that they caused that problem. They knew it and they didn't care. And they still kept implementing policy that was causing these issues that were financially attempting to crush the American people. And so President Trump-

[50:54] Speaker 4: They knew their statements were a lie. They knew it. They knew their statements were a dirty rotten lie. Their policies created the high prices.

[51:04] Speaker 1: He's pulling the liar, liar pants on fire in the chambers-

[51:04] Speaker 4: Our policies are rapidly-

[51:06] Speaker 1: Right there.

[51:06] Speaker 4: ... ending them. We are doing really well. Those prices are plummeting downward.

[51:12] Speaker 9: (clapping)

[51:12] Speaker 1: Now, JD Vance and S- Speaker Johnson giving the president a standing ovation. There's Robert Kennedy. "Make America Great Again."

[51:20] Speaker 4: The price of eggs-

[51:21] Speaker 1: And Robert Kennedy Jr. in chambers.

[51:23] Speaker 4: ... is down 60%, Madam Secretary. Thank you. The cost of chicken, butter, fruit, hotels, automobiles, rent is lower today than when I took office by a lot. And even beef-

[51:36] Speaker 1: Eggs, too.

[51:36] Speaker 4: ... which was very high-

[51:37] Speaker 1: Eggs were at like over $9 a carton-

[51:38] Speaker 4: ... is starting to come down significantly.

[51:39] Speaker 1: ... in some areas. The inflation was so high.

[51:40] Speaker 4: It is still going a little while, but we're getting it down.

[51:42] Speaker 1: In the grocery store.

[51:42] Speaker 4: And soon you will see numbers that few people would think were possible to achieve just a short time a- go. Nobody can believe when they see the kind of numbers, and especially energy. When they see energy going down to numbers like that, they cannot believe it. It's like another big tax cut. I'm also confronting one of the biggest rip-offs of our times, the crushing cost of healthcare.

[52:10] Speaker 1: Healthcare.

[52:11] Speaker 4: Suggested by you.

[52:11] Speaker 1: So he's gonna segue now into healthcare.

[52:12] Speaker 4: Since the passage of the Unaffordable Care Act, sometimes referred to as Obamacare-

[52:17] Speaker 1: It is the Unaffordable Care Act.

[52:18] Speaker 4: Big insurance company of Scott & Richards-

[52:19] Speaker 1: ObamaCare.

[52:20] Speaker 4: ... which was meant for the insurance companies, not for the people.

[52:23] Speaker 1: It was meant to help-

[52:23] Speaker 4: With our government giving them-

[52:25] Speaker 1: ... the insurance companies make even more money.

[52:25] Speaker 4: ... hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars a year, as their stock prices soared 1000, 1200, 1400 and even 1700% like nothing else. That's why I introduced the great Healthcare Plan. I want to stop all payments to big insurance companies and instead-

[52:47] Speaker 1: Will help.

[52:47] Speaker 4: ... give that money directly to the people so they can buy their own healthcare.

[52:51] Speaker 9: (clapping)

[52:51] Speaker 4: Which will be better than healthcare-

[52:53] Speaker 1: That is an amazing idea.

[52:54] Speaker 4: ... and a much lower cost.

[52:55] Speaker 1: Give the power back to the people. Let them purchase their own healthcare. Robert Kennedy Jr., as you can see, very excited about this. Let the people choose their own healthcare. Don't force them into these premiums, um, and into these companies where really-

[53:09] Speaker 4: In addition, my plan-

[53:10] Speaker 1: ... they cannot get the things that they need.

[53:10] Speaker 4: ... requires maximum price transparency. That's a big deal.

[53:16] Speaker 9: (clapping)

[53:16] Speaker 4: Sounds so simple, but it's so big.

[53:16] Speaker 1: And they haven't been transparent with their pricing. And President Trump is segueing into

[53:21] Speaker 4: ... that we live in a free and independent press. I did that in my first term- But Democrats are not doing their part. ... and the Democrats immediately terminated it with full knowledge that they were doing a very bad thing for the people. Costs were gonna go way up and that's what happened.

[53:31] Speaker 1: Because they are getting paid by the lobbyists of all the drug companies.

[53:33] Speaker 4: And now we're bringing them way down on healthcare and everything else.

[53:35] Speaker 1: These people that, that-

[53:35] Speaker 4: I'm also ending the wildly inflated cost of-

[53:38] Speaker 1: ... are getting paid by the lobbyists-

[53:39] Speaker 4: ... prescription drugs.

[53:39] Speaker 1: ... that the drug companies pay a lot of money to-

[53:41] Speaker 4: Like has never happened before.

[53:44] Speaker 1: ... to do this.

[53:46] Speaker 9: (clapping)

[53:47] Speaker 1: Drug companies have tons of lobbyists in DC, paying congressmen-

[53:51] Speaker 4: Other presidents tried to do it.

[53:54] Speaker 1: ... to peddle their drugs.

[53:54] Speaker 4: But they never could. They tried. Most didn't try, actually. But they tried. They said they tried. They couldn't do it. They didn't even come close. They were all talk and no action.

[54:06] Speaker 1: Yep.

[54:06] Speaker 4: But I got it done. Under my just enacted most favored nation agreements, Americans, who have for decades paid by far the highest prices of any nation anywhere in the world for prescription drugs, will now pay the lowest price anywhere in the world for drugs.

[54:24] Speaker 9: (clapping)

[54:24] Speaker 4: Anywhere, the lowest price.

[54:26] Speaker 1: Wow.

[54:36] Speaker 4: So, in my first year-

[54:37] Speaker 1: ... acknowledging this. We really wanted that specific area.

[54:39] Speaker 4: ... second term, should be my third term, but strange things happen. I took prescription drugs, a very big part of healthcare, from the highest price in the entire world, to the lowest. That's a big achievement.

[54:57] Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.

[54:58] Speaker 4: The result is price differences of 300, 400, 500, 600% and more. All available right now at a new website called TrumpRX.gov. And I didn't make that one either by the way.

[55:11] Speaker 1: Wow. So they've created that too as well. TrumpRX.gov. Dealing with the prices of drugs in this nation.

[55:19] Speaker 4: And here tonight is the very first customer ever to get that big discount, and it is big, Kathryn Rayner. For five years she and her husband have struggled with infertility and they turned to IVF. One drug has been costing Kathryn $4,000 to purchase, but a few weeks ago she logged onto the Trump RX website and got that same drug that cost $4,000, got it for under $500. A reduction of much more actually-

[55:51] Speaker 1: Wow.

[55:51] Speaker 4: ... than $3,500.

[55:54] Speaker 1: That's $3,500 reduction in price.

[55:54] Speaker 4: Kathryn, we are all praying for you and you're going to be a great mom.

[56:14] Speaker 1: Oh, she's sitting near the First Lady too. So all the guests of honor are sitting near First Lady Melania Trump and the Trump family.

[56:20] Speaker 4: So now I'm calling on Congress to codify my most favored nation program into law. Now the one thing, I'm not sure it matters because it's going to be very hard for somebody that comes along after me to say, "Let's raise drug prices by 700 or 800%" But John and Mike, if you don't mind, codify it anyway.

[56:40] Speaker 1: It will be a pretty penny for the Democrats, I'm sure.

[56:41] Speaker 4: They may do it. Codify it anyway, thank you. Many Americans are also concerned that energy demand from AI data centers could unfairly drive up their electric utility bills. Tonight I'm pleased to announce that I have negotiated the new rate payer protection pledge. You know what that is. We're telling the major tech companies that they have the obligation to provide for their own power needs. They can build their own power plants as part of their factory.

[57:10] Speaker 1: Wow.

[57:10] Speaker 4: So that no one's prices will go up, and in many cases, prices of electricity will go down for the community, and very substantially down. This is a unique strategy never used in this country before.

[57:22] Speaker 1: Yeah.

[57:23] Speaker 4: We have an old grid, it could never handle the kind of numbers, the amount of electricity that's needed. So I'm telling them they can build their own plant, they're going to produce their own electricity.

[57:33] Speaker 1: Interesting.

[57:33] Speaker 4: It will ensure the company's ability to get electricity while at the same time lowering prices of electricity for you and could be very substantial for all of you cities and towns. You're going to see some good things happen over the next number of years. Another pillar of the American dream that has been under attack is home ownership.

[57:53] Speaker 1: He has spoken about this very, uh, hopefully publicly about home ownership for people and, and how it, uh, gets become more difficult over the years.

[57:55] Speaker 4: With us tonight is Raycel Wiggins, a mom of two from Houston. She placed bids on 20 homes and lost all of those bids to gigantic investment firms that bypassed inspection. Paid all cash and turned those houses into rentals, stealing away her American dream. She was devastated. Stories like this are why last month I signed executive order to ban large Wall Street investment firms from buying up, in the thousands, single family homes.

[58:26] Speaker 1: Wow. So he's making moves to prevent them from, in large quantities being able to take our, corner the housing market.

[58:35] Speaker 4: And now I'm asking Congress to make that ban permanent because homes for people, really that's what we want, we want homes for people. Not for corporations. Corporations are doing just fine. Raycel, thank you very much. Good luck with your home, you'll get one soon. We're also working to make it easier for Americans to save for retirement and under this administration, we will always protect Social Security and Medicare. They are not protecting it for our seniors.

[59:13] Speaker 1: There he is calling them out again.

[59:16] Speaker 4: We will always protect Social Security and Medicare.

[59:17] Speaker 1: Saying the Democrats are not protecting Social Security or Medicare. In fact they've allowed billions in fraud to happen on their watch.

[59:24] Speaker 4: Since I took office, the typical 401 (k) balance is up by at least $30,000.

[59:29] Speaker 1: In multiple states by the way, Minnesota being one of them, who is led by a Democratic governor by the name of Tim Walz.

[59:34] Speaker 4: We have millions and millions of people because the stock market has done so well, setting all those records, your 401 (k) 's are way up. Yet half of all of working Americans still do not have access to a retirement plan with matching contributions from an employer. To remedy this gross disparity, I'm announcing that next year my administration will give these often forgotten American workers, great people, the people that built our country-

[01:00:01] Speaker 1: Yes.

[01:00:01] Speaker 4: ... access to the same type of retirement plan offered to every federal worker.

[01:00:06] Speaker 1: Wow.

[01:00:06] Speaker 4: We will match your contribution with up to $1,000 each year. As we ensure that all Americans can profit from a rising stock market, let's also ensure that members of Congress cannot corruptly profit from using insider information.

[01:00:23] Speaker 1: Oh, he's going there. We still have yet to see that prophecy fulfilled of the largest insider trading scandal that is going to come out, by the way, in this time when it comes to Congress. That is on the cusp.We are in that season of great excavation and exposure that will happen. They're stealing from it. Yes, they are, Noel. That's what insider trading is.

[01:00:45] Speaker 4: They stood up for that. I can't believe it.

[01:00:46] Speaker 1: They have information that everyone else is not privy to.

[01:00:49] Speaker 4: I can't believe it.

[01:00:51] Speaker 1: And they use it to get in and out at certain times within the stock market.

[01:00:56] Speaker 4: Nancy Pelosi's standing up and she is yelling.

[01:00:56] Speaker 1: He's calling them out. He is. He's call-

[01:00:58] Speaker 4: Now, pass the Stop Insider Trading Act without delay. (clapping)

[01:01:03] Speaker 1: He's putting the pressure on them. He's putting the heat. He's calling them out for it. He's letting all of America know right now what they're really doing. Look at the mugs on these guys in there. Not a blessed one of them standing up, looking down-

[01:01:16] Speaker 4: I wasn't sure if anybody even understood what was happening.

[01:01:17] Speaker 1: ... playing with their shoes. I don't know what else they're doing-

[01:01:20] Speaker 4: That I was saying on national TV.

[01:01:20] Speaker 1: ... but they just got called out on national TV.

[01:01:23] Speaker 4: But when it comes to the corruption that is plundering... uh, really, it's plundering America.

[01:01:29] Speaker 1: They are plundering.

[01:01:30] Speaker 4: There's been no more stunning example than-

[01:01:31] Speaker 1: It's a good way of pillaging even.

[01:01:33] Speaker 4: ... Minnesota, where members of the-

[01:01:35] Speaker 1: He's going there.

[01:01:36] Speaker 4: ... Somali community have pillaged an estimated $19 billion from the American history. I don't have the information.

[01:01:42] Speaker 1: Billions in fraud. He's going there.

[01:01:45] Speaker 4: And in actuality, the number is much higher than that. And California, Massachusetts, Maine and many other states are even worse.

[01:01:52] Speaker 1: Probably New York is in there too.

[01:01:54] Speaker 4: This is the kind of corruption that shreds-

[01:01:54] Speaker 1: California, Massachusetts, Maine, probably New York.

[01:01:57] Speaker 4: ... the fabric of a nation and we are working on it.

[01:01:58] Speaker 1: Michigan, Michigan's gonna be another one that's gonna be coming to the spotlight soon.

[01:02:03] Speaker 4: And I will... started four months ago, I am officially announcing the war on fraud to be led by our great Vice President JD Vance.

[01:02:12] Speaker 1: JD Vance will be appointed to lead the war on fraud in this nation. He is declaring war tonight at the State of the Union against fraud in the nation. He's putting California on notice, he's got Minnesota on notice, he's putting Michigan on notice, he's putting a bunch of states on notice that have been-

[01:02:31] Speaker 4: We'll get it done.

[01:02:31] Speaker 1: ... pillaging and plundering and partaking in the delicate dainties that are deceit-

[01:02:36] Speaker 4: Fraud-

[01:02:36] Speaker 1: ... that are being excavated and exposed at this time.

[01:02:39] Speaker 4: ... we will actually have a balanced budget overnight. It'll go very quickly. That's the kind of money you're talking about.

[01:02:44] Speaker 1: Yeah.

[01:02:44] Speaker 4: We'll balance our budget. The Somali pirates who ransacked Minnesota remind us that there are large parts of the world where bribery, corruption and lawlessness are the norm, not the exception. Importing these cultures through unrestricted immigration and open borders-

[01:03:03] Speaker 1: Uh huh.

[01:03:03] Speaker 4: ... brings those problems right here to the USA. And it is the American people who pay the price in higher medical bills, car insurance rates-

[01:03:11] Speaker 1: Yes. Mm-hmm.

[01:03:12] Speaker 4: ... rent, taxes-

[01:03:13] Speaker 1: That's true.

[01:03:13] Speaker 4: ... and perhaps most importantly, crime. We will take care of this problem. We're gonna take care of this problem. We are not playing games. Delilah. (clapping)

[01:03:31] Speaker 1: Noelle's got a cute little puppy picture too. That must be her puppy.

[01:03:36] Speaker 4: Delilah Colburn was only five years old in June 2024 when a 18-wheel tractor trailer plowed into her stopped car traveling at-

[01:03:48] Speaker 1: Aw.

[01:03:48] Speaker 4: ... 60 miles an hour or more. The driver was an illegal alien let in by Joe Biden and given a commercial driver's license by open borders politicians in California.

[01:04:01] Speaker 1: When he wasn't qualified to have a commercial driver's license to begin with.

[01:04:03] Speaker 4: Doctor said Delilah would never be able to walk or talk, have a good life. She wouldn't even be able to eat again. But against all odds, she is now in the first grade learning to walk. And she's here this evening with her dad, Marcus, a fantastic man.

[01:04:19] Speaker 1: Yes.

[01:04:19] Speaker 4: Delilah, please. You are a great inspiration. Please stand up. (clapping)

[01:04:23] Speaker 1: Very nice. He's acknowledging her. Very nice. Very nice standing ovation. Aw, look how precious and cute she is. Very pretty. Very nice. And the- these were... these... they were given legal aliens driver's licenses that they never should have had, driving big rigs they never should have been driving.

[01:04:58] Speaker 4: And I think they'll all agree with me, many of you know most illegal aliens are not speaking English and cannot read even the most basic road signs as to direction, speed, danger or location. That's why tonight I'm calling on Congress to pass what we will call the Delilah Law, barring any state from granting commercial driver's licenses to illegal aliens. (clapping)

[01:05:16] Speaker 1: See, that needs to happen too. That needs to happen. You have to go through the proper channels, the proper training, be an American citizen to have a commercial driver's license.

[01:05:30] Speaker 4: And yesterday, as you probably saw at the White House, I hosted a ceremony with Americans who lost their treasured loved ones to the scourge of illegal immigration. People came into our country, how we allowed this to happen with our open borders.

[01:05:47] Speaker 1: Yep.

[01:05:47] Speaker 4: These are the angel moms and families that for decades our government betrayed and our media totally ignored. Totally i- it was terrible.

[01:05:56] Speaker 1: The media did ignore them.

[01:05:57] Speaker 4: Hard to believe actually.

[01:05:58] Speaker 1: They tried to actually suppress the story.

[01:05:58] Speaker 4: In 2023, a 16-year-old high school cheerleader named Lizbeth Medina was supposed to perform in her town's Christmas parade, but she never arrived. Her mother, Jacqueline, went home to look for her and she found her lying dead in a bathtub, bleeding profusely after being stabbed 25 times. Lizbeth's killer was a previously arrested illegal alien who had broken in and brutally... really just brutally extinguished the brightest light in her family's life-

[01:06:34] Speaker 1: This is a very broken people coming into the nation.

[01:06:37] Speaker 4: ... with violent and vicious...

[01:06:37] Speaker 1: ... from a very different culture.

[01:06:38] Speaker 4: Her heartbroken mother is in the gallery to remind everyone in this chamber exactly why we are deporting illegal alien criminals, who are a country at record numbers, and they're getting them the hell out of here fast. We don't want 'em.

[01:06:45] Speaker 1: From a drug cartel culture. These are people coming in that are not vetted, that are not checked. Country in, record numbers. Are they getting them the hell out of here fast? We don't want 'em That are not looked at. That you have no clue what their background is, what wickedness they're involved in, what corruption they're involved in, and how violently they truly are. They weren't vetting these people at all, they were just letting them in through the border. Including terrorists. Terrorists were coming into Mexico and walking across the border into the United States of America. Some are still here.

[01:07:12] Speaker 1: When they opened the borders wide to try to import Russians, and that's what this was about, influencing elections

[01:07:18] Speaker 4: Thank you very much, Jared. Thank you. We can never forget that many in this room not only allowed the border invasion to happen before I got involved, but indeed, they would do it all over again if they ever had the chance. If they ever got elected they would open up those borders to-

[01:07:36] Speaker 1: Yep.

[01:07:36] Speaker 4: ... some of the worst criminals anywhere in the world. The only thing standing between Americans and a wide open border right now is President Donald J. Trump and our great Republican patriots in Congress. Thank you very much.

[01:07:48] Speaker 1: And those houses. And shut them down. And shutting the whole deranged operation down. Look at what happened to Europe now. Europe wanted open borders too. They are in the middle of an invasion. It's not just people (cheering drowns out speaker) . It's a complete invasion.

[01:08:01] Speaker 4: As we speak, Democrats in this chamber have cut off all funding for the Department of Homeland Security and ICE. Overhauled.

[01:08:08] Speaker 1: They have. There is a shutdown. There is, he's right.

[01:08:12] Speaker 4: They have instituted another Democrat shutdown.

[01:08:15] Speaker 1: Over ice.

[01:08:15] Speaker 4: The first one costing us two points on GDP.

[01:08:17] Speaker 1: First one was over 40 days, the first shutdown.

[01:08:20] Speaker 4: Two points we lost on GDP, which probably made Democrats happy actually.

[01:08:23] Speaker 1: 40 days, they shut down the government.

[01:08:24] Speaker 4: Now they have closed the agency responsible for protecting Americans from terrorists and murderers. Tonight I'm demanding the full and immediate-

[01:08:33] Speaker 1: Because they want something to happen. They want something to happen so they can blame President Trump.

[01:08:34] Speaker 4: ... restoration of all funding for the Border Security, Homeland Security of the United States.

[01:08:39] Speaker 1: But they're the ones shutting it down.

[01:08:41] Speaker 4: And also for helping people clean up their snow. We have no money because of the Democrats and it would be nice-

[01:08:49] Speaker 1: Good for him. Call it out.

[01:08:49] Speaker 4: ... to give you a hand at cleaning it up, but you gave no money. Nobody's getting paid, it's a shame. But you have to think about it, we have, in case you didn't know, a pretty large snowstorm out there.

[01:09:00] Speaker 1: And, and enforcement. And border enforcement.

[01:09:00] Speaker 4: One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe. So tonight I'm inviting every legislature to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support.

[01:09:23] Speaker 1: Wow. He's calling them, he's gonna make 'em stand or not, as all, all of America's gonna see this.

[01:09:28] Speaker 4: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.

[01:09:30] Speaker 1: And now we're aware these congressmen and women stand, and senators stand on this issue. (cheering) Look at all of them sitting down with... Look at this one, I don't know what she's waving over there. Do you see this? She's waving something. I don't know what you're doing over there, but you look crazy. I don't know what else to say. Too fly sort of to have to yell, that whole section, "I don't know what's going on over there." But they're not standing. Look, he's saying, here they are. Now you can see who they are, getting called out on national TV. Look at all them sitting down on that side. Do you see that? All of 'em. Good, let America see their faces. Let 'em see. They like to hide behind their votes. Let them see now who's really standing for this and who's not. There's Kristi Noem as well, we see her. (cheering) He wants America to know, he's like, "You know what then?

[01:10:40] Speaker 1: You're gonna have to publicly take a stand for what you believe." Because they like to hide behind these votes. Look at these bunch of yuppies, I don't know what else to call them. They all look constipated right now. I don't know what else to say, every last one of them looks constipated at the moment, uh, with what is going on here. And you just stand there clapping, people. Just make them sit there. Oh, we got one lady in red clapping here, you see her? Yep, she's sitting there, she's clapping. Good for her.

[01:11:21] Speaker 4: Isn't that a shame? You should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up. You should be ashamed of yourself.

[01:11:27] Speaker 1: They should be ashamed of themselves.

[01:11:28] Speaker 4: That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the criminals, and enact serious penalties for public officials who block the removal of criminal aliens.

[01:11:42] Speaker 1: Do you know where sanctuary cities come from in the Scripture? By the way, when Cain killed Abel, Cain was-

[01:11:43] Speaker 4: In many cases drug lords, murderers all over our country, they're blocking the removal of these people out of our country, and you should be ashamed of yourselves.

[01:11:52] Speaker 1: He went to a sanctuary city, anyway. Because he was a murderer. And he was moved out of the area to a sanctuary city after he killed Abel. There was a mark put on him. And that is, is partially where we watch that begin to evolve, biblically speaking, to what it is today, which it protects drug lords, criminals, traffickers, drug dealers, uh, it protects all the wrong people. Because they're the ones helping to operate things going on at the border that they want to flood in order to change the vote.

[01:12:20] Speaker 4: And perhaps most importantly, I'm asking you to approve the Save America Act.

[01:12:27] Speaker 1: Yep. (cheering) Save America Act. Okay. Let's see who stands for this one. Let's see whose butt is glued to their chair right now and can't even get up in the middle of this.

[01:12:39] Speaker 4: Stop illegal aliens and others, who are unpermitted persons, from voting in our sacred American-... elections, that cheating is rampant in our elections. It's rampant.

[01:12:49] Speaker 1: He's not wrong.

[01:12:50] Speaker 4: It's very simple. All voters-

[01:12:52] Speaker 1: It's epidemic.

[01:12:52] Speaker 4: ... must show voter ID.

[01:12:54] Speaker 1: Voter ID. That's right. You need an ID to open a bank account, you need an ID to enter a concert, you need an ID to pick your kid up from school, you need an ID, uh, uh, people that, uh, go into stores to buy alcohol-

[01:13:10] Speaker 4: All voters must show proof of citizenship-

[01:13:12] Speaker 1: ... need ID. You need ID for so many things in this nation-

[01:13:15] Speaker 4: ... in order to vote.

[01:13:15] Speaker 1: ... but they're saying you don't need ID to vote. Shows you where their agenda is, right there.

[01:13:23] Speaker 4: And no more crooked-

[01:13:25] Speaker 1: There's nothing democratic about this.

[01:13:25] Speaker 4: ... mail-in ballots-

[01:13:26] Speaker 1: Not one.

[01:13:26] Speaker 4: ... except for illness, disability, military or travel. None. (applause)

[01:13:32] Speaker 1: To get on an airplane, you need your ID.

[01:13:35] Speaker 4: And this should be an easy one.

[01:13:37] Speaker 1: Travel by car, you need your ID.

[01:13:37] Speaker 4: And by the way, it's polling at 89%, including Democrats, 89%.

[01:13:43] Speaker 1: But they wanna try to tell you that you don't need an ID to vote in this nation. That's nonsense.

[01:13:51] Speaker 4: And even the new communist mayor of New York City doesn't have one.

[01:13:53] Speaker 1: They need an ID to get into the freaking Capitol tonight for the State of the Union.

[01:13:57] Speaker 4: They go to work.

[01:13:57] Speaker 1: How do we think all these people got in here?

[01:13:59] Speaker 4: And the congressmen today, they said they want people-

[01:14:01] Speaker 1: They just magically appear. Every one of those Nazis-

[01:14:02] Speaker 4: ... to shovel snow.

[01:14:02] Speaker 1: ... who are sitting there-

[01:14:04] Speaker 4: They got hit hard.

[01:14:04] Speaker 1: ... and not standing up-

[01:14:05] Speaker 4: Want them to shovel snow.

[01:14:06] Speaker 1: You need ID to get into the 10th floor of the building.

[01:14:07] Speaker 4: But if you apply for that job, you need to show two original forms of ID and a social security card.

[01:14:14] Speaker 1: See?

[01:14:15] Speaker 4: Yet they don't want identification for the greatest privilege of them all, voting in America. Now, isn't that-

[01:14:20] Speaker 1: It is a privilege. It is a pr- liberty is freedom with responsibility.

[01:14:24] Speaker 4: That's what it is. Both Republicans and Democrats overwhelmingly agree on the policy that we just enunciated. And Congress should unite and enact this common sense, country-saving legislation right now, and it should be before anything else happens.

[01:14:43] Speaker 1: That's right. Because what happened in 2020 was a disaster. And we went through four years of crazy because of it. And they even started in 2019 rolling out that plan with what we know as COVID.

[01:15:03] Speaker 4: And the reason they don't wanna do it, why would anybody not want voter ID? One reason, because they wanna cheat. There's only one reason.

[01:15:11] Speaker 1: Yeah.

[01:15:11] Speaker 4: They make up all excuses.

[01:15:13] Speaker 1: Yep.

[01:15:13] Speaker 4: They say-

[01:15:14] Speaker 1: Put people on that-

[01:15:14] Speaker 4: ... it's racist.

[01:15:15] Speaker 1: ... don't belong on there.

[01:15:16] Speaker 4: They come up with things, you almost say, "What imagination they have."

[01:15:19] Speaker 1: Now dead people vote. Cheaters have to cheat. Yep.

[01:15:19] Speaker 4: They wanna cheat, they have cheated, and their policy is so bad that the only way they can get elected is to cheat, and we're gonna stop it. We have to stop it, John.

[01:15:31] Speaker 1: They have a lot of evidence on this that has not come into the public arena yet, but will, on what happened in these elections. On what happened, uh-

[01:15:41] Speaker 4: And here is one more opportunity to show common sense in government.

[01:15:45] Speaker 1: ... with Obama and that administration.

[01:15:47] Speaker 4: In the gallery tonight are-

[01:15:49] Speaker 1: And the spine that went on.

[01:15:49] Speaker 4: ... Sage Blair and her mother, Michelle. In 2021, Sage was 14 when school officials in Virginia sought to socially transition her to a new gender, treating her as a boy and hiding it from her parents. Hard to believe, isn't it? Before long, a confused Sage ran away from home after she was found in a horrific situation in Maryland.

[01:16:16] Speaker 1: This is about the same judge.

[01:16:17] Speaker 4: A left-wing judge refused to return Sage to her parents because they did not immediately state that their daughter was their son. Sage was thrown into an all-boys state home-

[01:16:30] Speaker 1: Let me see.

[01:16:31] Speaker 4: ... and suffered terribly for a long time. But today, all of that is behind them-

[01:16:36] Speaker 1: The transgender ideology.

[01:16:38] Speaker 4: ... because Sage is a proud and wonderful young woman-

[01:16:38] Speaker 1: From those two words, you can spell-

[01:16:40] Speaker 4: ... with a full ride scholarship-

[01:16:41] Speaker 1: ... siege on God's order.

[01:16:43] Speaker 4: ... to Liberty University.

[01:16:43] Speaker 1: And that's what it is, is transgender ideology.

[01:16:45] Speaker 4: Sage and Michelle, please stand up.

[01:16:46] Speaker 1: Siege on God's order. That's exactly what it is. And good for him that he's going there with this, because it is a demonic agenda through and through. It is a siege on God's order.

[01:17:09] Speaker 4: And thank you for your great bravery. And who can believe that we're even speaking about things like this? 15 years ago, if somebody would've even said that, they'd say, "What's wrong with you?"

[01:17:16] Speaker 1: It would have been unheard of 15 years ago.

[01:17:18] Speaker 4: "Now?"

[01:17:18] Speaker 1: Now, they're putting litter boxes-

[01:17:20] Speaker 4: "What's wrong with you?"

[01:17:20] Speaker 1: ... for people that identify as cats-

[01:17:22] Speaker 4: Now it's up to states because it's going on-

[01:17:23] Speaker 1: ... on the principal's office-

[01:17:24] Speaker 4: ... all over, in numerous states-

[01:17:24] Speaker 1: ... of public schools.

[01:17:25] Speaker 4: ... without even telling the parents. But surely, we can all agree, no state can be allowed to rip children from their parents' arms-

[01:17:33] Speaker 1: Bye, mister.

[01:17:33] Speaker 4: ... and transition them to a new gender against the parents' will. Who would believe that we're even talking about this? We must ban it-

[01:17:42] Speaker 1: That they're trying to force kids-

[01:17:42] Speaker 4: And we must ban it immediately.

[01:17:45] Speaker 1: ... to, to become something that they are not, to try to force them into a mentally ill state to believe that they were actually born in the wrong body.

[01:17:54] Speaker 4: Look, nobody stands up.

[01:17:56] Speaker 1: This is a demonic agenda-

[01:17:57] Speaker 4: These people are crazy.

[01:17:58] Speaker 1: ... for which they fell.

[01:17:58] Speaker 4: I'm telling you, they're crazy.

[01:18:00] Speaker 1: They're not only crazy, Mr. President, they serve a false god and they serve a demonic agenda. And they will sit there-

[01:18:10] Speaker 4: Please, uh-

[01:18:10] Speaker 1: ... glued to their seats with their constipated look on their faces-

[01:18:14] Speaker 4: Wait, wait. We're, we're, we're lucky-

[01:18:15] Speaker 1: ... and not clap-

[01:18:15] Speaker 4: ... we have a country with people-

[01:18:17] Speaker 1: ... because they want-

[01:18:17] Speaker 4: ... like this. Democrats-

[01:18:18] Speaker 1: ... that chaos-

[01:18:18] Speaker 4: ... are destroying our country-

[01:18:19] Speaker 1: ... because they want it.

[01:18:20] Speaker 4: ... but we've stopped it just in nick of time, didn't we, huh?

[01:18:26] Speaker 1: They thrive in that chaos. They thrive in putting children through that butchering factory. They thrive.

[01:18:34] Speaker 4: No one cares-

[01:18:35] Speaker 1: They've got the lobbyists paying them.

[01:18:35] Speaker 4: ... more about protecting America's youth than our wonderful First Lady. Now, a movie star. She's a movie star. Can you believe it? Who would've believed that?Over the past year, she has had an incredible impact championing AI legislation, advancing an landmark executive order on foster care, and helping secure $30 million to launch the Melania Trump Foster Youth Through Independence initiative.

[01:19:02] Speaker 10: He did put out a document. We were on here. I was actually invited to that group when I was, uh, Chris was in the House. Can I just quickly, though? But I was invited by the Office of Special Counsel that day. It's a tremendous, really a tremendous thing that happened, and had a lot of bipartisan support. She gets much better bipartisan support than I do. I get none, she gets a lot. (laughs) Someday you're gonna have to tell me how you did that. And students and educators in every state have joined the first lady's efforts in the Presidential AI Challenge, keeping America's next generation positioned to succeed and strongly succeed in the future. Tonight we welcome two young people whose lives reflect the first lady's impact, Sierra Burns and Everest Nevermont The school system needs an entire overhaul in this nation. It is so corroded.

[01:19:43] Speaker 10: It's Sodom and Gomorrah, I don't know how else to put it

[01:19:46] Speaker 4: So, thank you both, and Melania, thank you. Now I heard you weren't going to take it on that.

[01:19:47] Speaker 10: This school system, the public school system in this nation is Sodom and Gomorrah. That's very nice, he's acknowledging her during the State of the Union.

[01:20:13] Speaker 4: I'm very proud to say that during my time in office, both the first four years and in particular this last year, there has been a tremendous renewal in religion, faith, Christianity, and belief in God.

[01:20:26] Speaker 10: Okay, here we go. This is the part I wanted to hear. Let's see what happens.

[01:20:29] Speaker 4: Tremendous renewal.

[01:20:31] Speaker 10: And praise the Lord, there has been a renewal. Amongst persecution and amongst, uh, some pretty serious events that unfolded in this nation, but we have watched nonetheless a renewal.

[01:20:42] Speaker 4: This is especially true among young people, and a big part of that had to do with my great friend.

[01:20:49] Speaker 10: Charlie Kirk.

[01:20:50] Speaker 4: Charlie Kirk. Great guy, great man.

[01:20:52] Speaker 10: Raising him up at the State of the Union. Tragic September 10th, 2025, the day before 9/11.

[01:21:01] Speaker 4: So last year, Charlie was violently murdered by an assassin.

[01:21:05] Speaker 10: And there's his wife, Erika Kirk.

[01:21:07] Speaker 4: And martyred, really, martyred for his beliefs. His wonderful wife, Erika, is with us tonight. Erika, please stand.

[01:21:24] Speaker 10: Very nice.

[01:21:27] Speaker 4: Charlie! Charlie! Charlie!

[01:21:27] Speaker 10: Charlie chant breaking out in chambers. That's probably the only other chant you'll hear besides USA throughout the evening.

[01:21:36] Speaker 4: Thank you, Erika. Been through a lot. In Charlie's memory, we must all come together to reaffirm that America is one nation under God, and we must totally reject political violence of any kind.

[01:21:52] Speaker 10: Amen. This nation was founded on Judeo-Christian values. They are systematically and inherently attempting to change that.

[01:22:03] Speaker 4: We love religion, and we love bringing it back, and it's coming back at levels that nobody actually thought possible. It's really a beautiful thing to see. Above all, unleashing America's promise requires keeping our communities safe.

[01:22:17] Speaker 10: They also watching mobs across America grow at an alarming rate as well.

[01:22:18] Speaker 4: We've made incredible strides, yet dangerous repeat offenders continue to be released by pro-crime Democrat politicians again and again.

[01:22:27] Speaker 10: Who are releasing repeat offender, the violent ones.

[01:22:29] Speaker 4: We are honored to be joined tonight by a woman who's been through hell, Yulia Zelenska. In 2022, she and her beautiful daughter, so beautiful, what a beautiful young woman. Irina fled war torn, war torn Ukraine to live with relatives near Charlotte, North Carolina.

[01:22:51] Speaker 10: This is that, this is that horrific incident that happened in North Carolina that Trump was very vocal about. Spitting all over the place about it.

[01:22:54] Speaker 4: Last summer, 23 year old Irina was riding home on the train when a deranged monster, who had been arrested over a dozen times and was released through no cash bail, stood up and viciously slashed a knife through her neck and body.

[01:23:11] Speaker 10: When these things happen, when these things happen, there is always a satanic, demonic element that is going on there, always.

[01:23:12] Speaker 4: No one will ever forget, there were people on that train. No one will ever forget the expression of terror on Irina's face as she looked up at her attacker in the last seconds of her life. She died instantly. She had escaped a brutal war only to be slain by a hardened criminal set free to kill in America, came in through open borders.

[01:23:35] Speaker 10: That should never have been out, that should never have been out.

[01:23:37] Speaker 4: Mrs. Zelenska, tonight I promise you we will ensure justice for your magnificent daughter, Irina.

[01:23:48] Speaker 10: When this happens, I don't see it, but I mean, what this mother has been through is an absolute nightmare. And the fact that they want to keep lobbying for open borders, lobbying for unvetted, unchecked individuals waltzing into the country, then you know what all those Democrats should do sitting there with the constipated look in their seat? Leave their doors open at night.

[01:24:10] Speaker 4: I'm asking this Congress to pass tough legislation to ensure that violent and dangerous repeat offenders are put behind bars, and importantly, that they stay there.

[01:24:19] Speaker 10: Let them have open borders around their house if they believe that it's okay. You see all them sitting there? They don't want to get rid of their armed security, their fences, their locks on their doors at home, and really watch what they preach with open borders.

[01:24:35] Speaker 4: Starting last summer, I deployed our National Guard and federal law enforcement to restore law and order to our most dangerous cities, including Memphis, Tennessee, big success.New Orleans, Louisiana, big success.

[01:24:51] Speaker 2: Memphis is New Orleans' test--

[01:24:52] Speaker 4: And our nation's capital itself-

[01:24:54] Speaker 2: ... in the occult field.

[01:24:54] Speaker 4: Washington, D.C. where we have almost-

[01:24:56] Speaker 2: By the way, Washington, D.C. too.

[01:24:58] Speaker 4: ... no crime anymore in Washington, D.C. How did that happen?

[01:25:01] Speaker 2: (applause) The National Guard came in and cleaned the streets. The real street sweepers came in, the National Guard, and cleaned up the area.

[01:25:11] Speaker 4: In fact, crime in Washington is now at the lowest-

[01:25:15] Speaker 2: They had that incident with the National Guard the week before Thanksgiving where a National Guard was shot.

[01:25:15] Speaker 4: ... level ever recorded and murders in D.C. this January were down-

[01:25:20] Speaker 2: There's a woman.

[01:25:20] Speaker 4: ... close to 100% from a year ago.

[01:25:23] Speaker 2: The week before Thanksgiving 2025 on the eve, remember? Two National Guardsmen were shot. It was all over the news.

[01:25:36] Speaker 4: They don't like to hear that. One of sick people-

[01:25:39] Speaker 2: 100% increase in murders in D.C. from one year ago last June.

[01:25:40] Speaker 4: One of the brave service members who helped achieve this stunning turnaround was 20-year-old West Virginia Army National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom. After a four-month deployment, she voluntarily extended her service and her rank was going to be lifted. She was doing so well, they were so proud of her. But the very next day, she was on patrol near the White House when she was ambushed-

[01:26:08] Speaker 2: This is the week before Thanksgiving.

[01:26:09] Speaker 4: ... and shot in the head by a terrorist monster-

[01:26:11] Speaker 2: It wasn't ambush.

[01:26:11] Speaker 4: ... from Afghanistan. Shouldn't have been in our country.

[01:26:13] Speaker 2: And yet this was an individual from Afghanistan with terrorist ties-

[01:26:16] Speaker 4: All because she wore the uniform of our nation, she was shot.

[01:26:19] Speaker 2: I believe also with ties to the CIA-

[01:26:21] Speaker 4: She traveled here-

[01:26:21] Speaker 2: ... working with the CIA in Afghanistan as well.

[01:26:22] Speaker 4: ... because he didn't like people wearing our uniform.

[01:26:24] Speaker 2: He's the enemy.

[01:26:24] Speaker 4: He was sick and deranged. Shouldn't have been in our country. Sarah Beckstrom died in order to defend our Capitol and we are honored to be joined by her wonderful parents, Gary and Evaline. Your daughter was a true American patriot and she will be greatly missed. She was a great person. I saw reports-

[01:26:44] Speaker 2: She lost her light.

[01:26:45] Speaker 4: ... on her. They've never seen anything like it.

[01:26:48] Speaker 2: (Applause) In that attack. This is a very difficult moment for these parents who are at the State of the Union, which is an incredible experience, but they're there because their daughter was killed by a terrorist.

[01:27:11] Speaker 4: So sorry. Thank you very much. She was a great young lady. I saw reports, they were like, perfect. She was perfect. Serving alongside Sarah that day was Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolf. The terrorist shot Andrew in the head and no one thought he could possibly make it. The two of them, Sarah and Andrew, both shot violently in the head. Neither was expected to make it. They weren't even given a chance except his wonderful mother named Melody, who I spoke to the same night, and she was so positive. The doctors thought that Andrew was gone, but his mother said, "No, no, Mr. President, Andrew will be fine. He's going to make it." I've never seen anything like it. I mean, he was given almost no chance.

[01:28:03] Speaker 2: We have no-

[01:28:03] Speaker 4: She said, "I have no doubt, sir, he's going to be okay." This was a conversation that I had with her that night with her son laying helplessly in bed, blood all over. "Everybody is praying," she said. "Sir, he will be okay." The doctors-

[01:28:21] Speaker 2: We were in church praying that night when this happened.

[01:28:21] Speaker 4: ... didn't understand what she was saying.

[01:28:23] Speaker 2: We had just seen this film.

[01:28:24] Speaker 4: And after looking at the results of the damage done, neither did I. She was so strong and conclusive that even Andrew's great father felt she didn't really understand the gravity of the situation. But she turned out to be right. Right, Melody? She turned out to be right.

[01:28:44] Speaker 2: Amen. And there he is. Praise God. He survived. That was the week before Thanksgiving that this happened. Shocked the nation. Truly shocked the nation when this happened. And how it happened and the ambush style that it happened in.

[01:29:22] Speaker 4: Amazing actually. I said, "Where does this woman come from? She's the most positive person I've ever met." With God's help, Andrew has battled back from the edge of death and we're talking about the edge of death. On his way to a miraculous-

[01:29:39] Speaker 2: I'm joining.

[01:29:40] Speaker 4: ... recovery. He's got a little work to do, but he's doing great. Nice to see he's a good-looking guy. Nice to see you. Thanks, Andrew. Thank you very much.

[01:29:49] Speaker 2: It's lovely that he acknowledged him. Very nice. And it's amazing he's alive. It's an act of God that this man is alive after what happened to him. Let me tell you, brain bleeds are a very brave thing. I should know because my husband suffered a brain bleed and he was-

[01:30:09] Speaker 4: So Andrew, while you're up, now I'm going to ask a highly respected General James Seward to present Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolf and the great family of Sarah Beckstrom with the award created by our late great President George Washington himself. It's called the Purple Heart.

[01:30:30] Speaker 2: Wow. That's one of the highest honors they can get in the military. Very nice that it was presented at the State of the Union.I want them to stand. I wanna see what that whole other section is that's standing up in the middle of this and what they're doing. Oh, they presented it to, to the, to the girl's parents. That's very nice.

[01:31:20] Speaker 4: We love you all. Love you. We're proudly restoring safety for Americans at home, and we are also restoring security for Americans abroad. Our country has never been stronger. My first-

[01:31:34] Speaker 2: Don't leave, you guys.

[01:31:34] Speaker 4: ... 10 months I ended eight wars.

[01:31:36] Speaker 2: I'm okay.

[01:31:37] Speaker 4: Including Cambodia. Isn't it funny? (laughs) Come on! Sick people. Come on! Cambodia and Thailand.

[01:31:45] Speaker 2: Up... Chris is here.

[01:31:46] Speaker 4: Pakistan and India would have been a nuclear war. 35 million people said-

[01:31:51] Speaker 2: He's here.

[01:31:51] Speaker 4: ... the prime minister of Pakistan would have died-

[01:31:53] Speaker 2: They've just gone to Cambodia. You okay?

[01:31:54] Speaker 4: ... if it were not for my involvement. Kosovo and Serbia.

[01:31:57] Speaker 2: Okay. Do you wanna come into the camera?

[01:31:58] Speaker 4: Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia.

[01:32:01] Speaker 2: And say hi?

[01:32:01] Speaker 4: Armenia and Azerbaijan.

[01:32:04] Speaker 2: Okay.

[01:32:04] Speaker 4: The Congo and Rwanda, and of course, the war in Gaza, which proceeds at a very low level. It's just about there. And I wanna thank Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner for their help.

[01:32:18] Speaker 2: They've been going over there quite a bit, Steve and Jared.

[01:32:24] Speaker 4: Thank you, Steve. Thank you, Jared.

[01:32:24] Speaker 2: Gotta be able to negotiate with these people. Gotta be if you care.

[01:32:37] Speaker 4: And I also want to thank the man they report to, Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. Thank you, Marco. (applates) Marco Rubio did a... he gave an incredible speech in Europe, called out the European leaders for their nonsense recently. That man has a mantle of leadership on him. Uh, it's incredible watching what's happening with Marco Rubio coming to the forefront in this administration.

[01:33:03] Speaker 2: People like you.

[01:33:05] Speaker 4: Yeah, they do. They very much like Marco.

[01:33:07] Speaker 2: You know, Marco got 100% of the votes when he was in confirma-... I think our next one was about, uh, 54%.

[01:33:13] Speaker 4: (laughs) And some of the Democrats are now saying, "I can't believe we approved that guy." (laughs)

[01:33:20] Speaker 2: And he said it's an honor that they feel that way. Right, Marco?

[01:33:23] Speaker 2: (laughs You have done a great job, our secretary of state. Well, they did approve him, so they gotta deal with it now. I think of the Donald as the best ever. And there is the Supreme Court of the United States sitting right to Marco Rubio's left, Justice Roberts. Under the ceasefire I negotiated, every single hostage- He's one of the ones Who's watching tonight- ... both living and dead- Can you believe that? ... has been returned home. Can you believe that? Let me tell you, Jake Uvan and, um, Speaker Johnson are getting their swaps in tonight. They have stood up and sat down throughout the evening that they were swapped in- Nobody thought it was possible. ... for the day on this date. Nobody thought that was possible, both living and dead, and those parents who had a dead son. Their boy, they'd always tell me, their boy, they wanted him as much as though he were living. It was, uh, an amazing period of time. And they came back, and when we got all of the living hostages back, and many, many before then, but I always said those last 20 are gonna be very tough. But we got many, many more, hundreds. But I said those last 20 are gonna be tough. We got them back, but we only got back 14 or 15 of the dead, of the 28. And believe it or not, Hamas worked along with Israel and they dug and they dug and they dug. Mm-hmm. It's a tough, a tough thing to do. I was shocked the day that they actually- Going through bodies, all of them. ... or Hamas let the Red Cross in- Passing up- ... to actually come get the hostages. ... 100 bodies sometimes for each one that they found. Tough job. And, uh, they finally got it back to 27. And then Steve and Jared, they got it back to 28. They found all 28. Nobody thought that was possible, but we did it. And I remember the family of the 28th. Now, interestingly enough- They were so- ... the word for violence- grieved, but they were so happy. ... in the book of Genesis is Hamas. As happy as is possible- You see H-A-M-S. Possible to be. They had their boy back. So isn't that interesting? Their mother said, "Sir, we have our boy back." One letter separates Hamas and camas in the book of Genesis. What a period of time that was, but we got them all back. So thank you both very much. Great job. But those are some sobering pics when the Red Cross vehicles had to go in to get the hostages, and they ended up in hos- like they were going to kindergarten. Um, and the crowd gathering- And we're working very hard to end the ninth war, the killing and slaughter between Russia and Ukraine, where 25,000 soldiers are dying each and every month. Which is still going on, by the way. Think about it. They're still bombing each other, drone bombing. Thousand soldiers- Fighting. ... are dying a month, a war which would have never happened if I were president, would have never happened. As president, I will make peace- Biden rammed NATO right up- ... wherever I can, but I will never hesitate- ... right up against Russia's front door. ... to confront threats to America- Nuke is basically- ... wherever we must. ... how that all started. That's why, in a- He wanted the NATO alliance- ... breakthrough operation last June- He backed Poland. Biden rammed it up. ... the United States military obliterated Iran's nuclear weapons program with an attack on Iranian soil known as Operation Midnight Hammer. Yep. Operation Midnight Hammer. Good, good. They actually used the element of surprise. They deployed stealth bombers, I think, to Guam- For decades, it had been- ... to throw everybody off because they already had the others spreading- ... the policy of the United States never to allow- ... across Europe- ... Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. ... to Iran. Many decades. Since they seized control of that proud nation 47 years ago, the regime and its murderous proxies have spread nothing but terrorism and death and hate.They've killed and maimed thousands of American service members, and hundreds of thousands and even millions of people with what's called roadside bombs. They were the kings of the roadside bomb- Disaster had really been determined by the war against the leadership of Iran. And we took out Soleimani, I did that during my first term. Very serious situation right now. (audience applauds)

[01:37:22] Speaker 4: Had a huge impact.

[01:37:23] Speaker 2: You're on the cusp of war then-

[01:37:23] Speaker 4: He was the father of the roadside bomb.

[01:37:26] Speaker 2: ... 15% against the IS over 40. And he did take out Soleimani at the beginning of his first presidency. I remember prophesying Iran was gonna suffer a very perfect mortal wound at Khashoggi Port. And shortly after that prophecy, he went and took out Soleimani, President Trump.

[01:37:36] Speaker 4: And just over the last couple of months with the protests, they've killed at least, it looks like 32,000 protesters. 32,000 protestors in their own country. They shot them and hung them. We stopped them from hanging a lot of them with the threat of serious violence, but this is some terrible people. They've already developed missiles that can threaten Europe and our bases overseas.

[01:38:06] Speaker 2: Why they are currently trying to buy missiles from China. Long range by the way, missiles. They are currently trying to acquire that from China.

[01:38:07] Speaker 4: And they're working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America. After Midnight Hammer-

[01:38:14] Speaker 2: Which could be the reason for the ramping up of the military presence. Now that we've seen the United States in Europe and the Middle East this very hour.

[01:38:15] Speaker 4: ... they were warned to make no future attempts to rebuild their weapons program, in particular nuclear weapons, yet they continue. They're starting it all over. We wiped it out and they want to start all over again.

[01:38:29] Speaker 2: Yep.

[01:38:30] Speaker 4: And are at this moment again pursuing their sinister ambitions.

[01:38:32] Speaker 2: But China is involved. The dragon is clearing up in the middle of this. That is false.

[01:38:34] Speaker 4: We are in negotiations with them. They want to make a deal, but we haven't heard those secret words. We will never have a nuclear weapon. My preference ...

[01:38:46] Speaker 2: (audience applauds) They won't do that. They're trying to buy, buy an arsenal in Iran. They're that delusional and deranged.

[01:39:01] Speaker 4: My preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy.

[01:39:03] Speaker 2: They just put up an enormous statue of Bale and burned it before their people in Iran.

[01:39:06] Speaker 4: But one thing is certain, I will never allow the world's number one sponsor of terror, which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon. Can't let that happen.

[01:39:14] Speaker 2: Showing you who they serve. (audience applauds) Now the fact that, did you see the look on his face when he said that? The disdain? The warped things on this man's face. I believe he's already made the decision what he's going to do by getting off the table and quite elevated military presence right now.

[01:39:29] Speaker 4: And no nation should ever doubt America's resolve. We have the most powerful military on earth. I rebuilt the military in my first term. We're going to continue to do so. Also, we just approved a trillion dollar budget. We have no choice, we have to be strong, because hopefully we will seldom have to use this great power that we built together. It's really called peace through strength and it's been very, very effective.

[01:39:59] Speaker 2: Yes. (audience applauds) And there go Vice President JD Vance again, Speaker Mike Johnson.

[01:40:11] Speaker 4: So thanks to Republican in Congress who are investing that record number of dollars, have no choice, in the United States Armed Forces. Also creating a lot of jobs, but we're not even doing it for that reason, because as I said, we have more jobs, more people working today than ever before in the history of our country.

[01:40:32] Speaker 2: There is-

[01:40:32] Speaker 4: And NATO countries are friends and allies. They are. They're our friends and they're our allies, have just agreed, at my very strong request, to pay 5% of GDP for military defense rather than the 2%, which they weren't paying. We were paying for almost all of NATO. (audience applauds)

[01:40:50] Speaker 2: That's very good.

[01:40:50] Speaker 4: Now they're paying five as opposed to not paying two.

[01:40:53] Speaker 2: They're fair share in this. (audience applauds) Oh, here they are. Okay, some of them are half clapping on this side. Just checking, yeah.

[01:41:02] Speaker 4: And getting that 5% was something which everyone said would never be done, could not happen. We got it really easily with one meeting, and a big difference between 2% that's not paid. We were paying the freight of many of them, very few were paid up. Now 5%, then they're paid, and everything we send over to Ukraine is sent through NATO and they pay us in full.

[01:41:25] Speaker 2: Uh-huh.

[01:41:26] Speaker 4: They pay us totally in full. Every branch of our armed forces is setting records for recruitment. This is so exciting and every service member recently ... (audience applauds)

[01:41:43] Speaker 2: Right? The fact that they're ramping up the military could throw you a rock about what is happening in the world, why the United States needs to-

[01:41:50] Speaker 4: And every service member recently received a warrior dividend of-

[01:41:54] Speaker 2: ... to do that.

[01:41:54] Speaker 4: ... $1,776. (audience applauds)

[01:42:01] Speaker 2: Interesting, $1,776. Warrior dividends to support our military, very nice. They defend our ports, they fight for our freedoms.

[01:42:08] Speaker 4: You know, they put it on my desk. We got the money from tariffs and other things, a lot of money. We have that.

[01:42:11] Speaker 2: They are the real heroes in this country.

[01:42:14] Speaker 4: More money that they don't understand. Have to rebuild that program a little bit, but it won't take long.

[01:42:16] Speaker 2: Somebody walking around in a short marching parade with a rainbow-

[01:42:18] Speaker 4: But we got the money and it was $1,775 and they, they wanted my approval.

[01:42:23] Speaker 2: ... and sparkles in their hair is not the hero of the nation. No, it is the men and women in our military-

[01:42:24] Speaker 4: And I said, "What's the number?" $1,775?

[01:42:26] Speaker 2: ... that put their lives on the line for us.

[01:42:29] Speaker 4: I said, "Wait a minute. For one more dollar, we can have $1,776. Let's go into a ..." (audience laughs) I said, "We're going to figure that ..." I never asked anybody if we could afford it. "One more dollar," I said, "$1,776." And I said, "That's good." And I'll tell you what, our military, that was four months ago. Our military-

[01:42:45] Speaker 2: It's really cold.

[01:42:45] Speaker 4: I never see a person in the military that doesn't thank me for it, so we're honored to do it. They deserve it.

[01:42:50] Speaker 2: It's more than a job for them. It's really cold.

[01:42:51] Speaker 4: And, uh, said we called $1,776. It was great and, uh, we love our military. We love our law enforcement. We love our firemen. You know, the firemen don't get mentioned enough. We love our firemen. We're also ...When they, uh, attempted to assassinate President Clinton in Butler, Pennsylvania, as a fireman tried to save his family that ended up being killed. (clapping) Uh, in the midst of that effort, speaking of firemen, that could happen. (clapping) We're also restoring American security and dominance in the western hemisphere, acting to secure our national interests and defend our country from violence, drugs, terrorism and foreign interference.

[01:43:31] Speaker 4: For years, large swaths of territory in our region, including large parts of Mexico, really large parts of- Here he goes ...Mexico He's seguing into Mexico now ...have been controlled by murderous drug cartels That, that high-ranking cartel That's why I designated these cartels ...leader was killed ...as foreign terrorist organizations ...a couple days ago And I declared With American ...illicit fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction (clapping) It is a weapon of mass destruction. It's from the pit of hell, fentanyl. And it needs to be cut off. It is- (clapping) And with our new military campaign, we have stopped record amounts of drugs coming into our country, and virtually stopped it completely coming in by water or sea. You probably noticed that. (laughs) Very seriously damaged their fishing industry also. Nobody wants- (laughs) Nobody wants to go fishing anymore. We've also taken down one of the most sinister cartel kingpins of all. You saw that yesterday. Yes.

[01:44:32] Speaker 4: El Mencho In January I believe that's the individual's name, El Mencho. Of the Jalisco, I think it is, cartel. Um, new, something, cartel (clapping) (clears throat) I think it's called Jalisco. In January, elite American warriors carried out one of the most complex, spectacular feats of military competence and power in world history To era, kind of, drug cartel You don't see anything like it. Foreign leaders, I won't tell you who, called me and they said, "Very impressive. Very good. (laughs) They couldn't believe it. They all watched. They saw what happened. This is a different fighting force- An outlaw organization now ... than we had years ago when we fought to tie ...oh, the cartel is trying to put it on lockdown Now they're a great, great fighting force ...if this happens I'm so proud of it And there are Americans trapped in Mexico right now Look at You need to pray for them Spaceforce, Spaceforce is my baby I don't know why you'd go to Mexico right now Is doing so good.

[01:45:25] Speaker 4: My baby is becoming so important That would be hard enough. The president's father was a hero for terrorism. I don't know why you'd even go to Mexico right now (clapping) Okay. Yep, January- And America's armed forces overwhelmed- The march of February leading to a war- ...all defenses and utterly defeated any enemy- And he said America is roaring back. ...of the fighters. Did you hear him at the beginning? To end the reign of outlaw dictator Nicolas Maduro and bring him to face American justice.

[01:46:01] Speaker 4: (clapping The January of justice. October 7, 2025 was prophesied the fall of Maduro. Grace has been offered, judgment is coming. Now this was an absolutely- Now if we got three weeks before we have that word after it happened- ...colossal victory for the security of the United States, and it also opens up a bright new beginning- For the El Mencho- ...for the people of Venezuela. ...um, cartel. We're working closely with the new president of Venezuela- If the GIEF died it would- ...Helcy Rodrigues, to unleash extraordinary economic gains for both of our countries, and to bring new hope to those who have suffered so terribly. They really did suffer. With us tonight is Alejandro Gonzalez. She grew up in a tight-knit Venezuelan family and was especially close to her beloved Uncle Enrique. But after Enrique ran for office and opposed Maduro- Isn't this fun, how President Trump says it's the- ...he was kidnapped by Maduro's security forces ...he really puts like the emphasis ...and thrown into the regime's On ...really infamous prison in Caracas. Alejandro feared she would never see her uncle again. She feared for her own life also. But since the raid, we have worked with the new leadership and they have ordered the closure of that vile prison and released hundreds of political prisoners already After, yeah With more to come- What happened to Enr- ...Alejandro, I'm pleased to inform you that not only has your uncle been released but he is here tonight. We brought him over to celebrate his freedom with you in person. Aw. Enrique, please come down. (clapping This is a wonderful moment. That they got him free. To be here at the state of the union tonight. (clapping)

[01:47:52] Speaker 4: Amazing, amazing. Aw. That's wonderful they were able to get him here and free him, and give him his freedom back. And they're still sitting. Do you see them? Thank you, Enrique. The Democrats- Well done. They're still sitting over there. Nice to have you back, Enrique. There were many heroes on that January raid to capture Maduro. Really great heroes. It was very dangerous. They knew we were coming. They were all set. It turned the whole power- But the deeds of one warrior that night will live forever in the eternal chronicles of- It turned most of the power. ...military valor. To go in, to get him. Chief Warrant Officer 5, Erik Slover, planned the mission and was the flight lead in the cockpit of the first helicopter, a big, beautiful, powerful helicopter. Mm-hmm. It was a massive Chinook, carrying, as you can imagine- They're carrying- Many- ...some pretty harrowing missions. ...many American war fighters.

[01:49:02] Speaker 4: Wearing the dog tags his wife, Amy, had blessed with holy water before he left. She knew it was gonna be a rough one.Eric steered the Chinook under the cover of night and descended swiftly upon Maduro's heavily protected military fortress. This was a major-

[01:49:18] Speaker 2: It was a shootout first.

[01:49:19] Speaker 4: ... military installation.

[01:49:21] Speaker 2: When they landed.

[01:49:21] Speaker 4: Protected by thousands of soldiers and guarded by Russian and Chinese military technology.

[01:49:27] Speaker 2: Russian and Chinese?

[01:49:29] Speaker 4: How did that work out? Not too good?

[01:49:30] Speaker 2: You don't think they're in Venezuela? They are.

[01:49:33] Speaker 4: While preparing to land, enemy machine guns fired from every angle and Eric was hit very badly in the leg and hip, one bullet after another. He absorbed four agonizing shots, shredding his-

[01:49:46] Speaker 2: Wow.

[01:49:47] Speaker 4: ... leg into numerous pieces. And yet despite the fact that the use of his legs was vital to successful helicopter flight, legs are the most important part of flying a helicopter, to deliver the many commanders who would capture and detain Maduro was the only thing Eric was thinking about. Then even as he was gushing blood, which was flowing back down the aisle, helicopter lands-

[01:50:16] Speaker 2: Wow.

[01:50:16] Speaker 4: ... at a steep angle. The machine guns stood right in front of him. They were right in front of him, two machine gunners who escaped the wrath of the previous planes. Eric maneuvered his helicopter with all of those lives and souls to face the enemy and let his gunners eliminate the threat. Turned the helicopter around so the gunners could take care of business, saving the lives of his fellow warriors from what could have been a catastrophic crash deep in enemy territory.

[01:50:47] Speaker 4: Only after safely landing the helicopter with all the warriors-

[01:50:51] Speaker 2: There he goes.

[01:50:52] Speaker 4: ... aboard in the exact right spot, which was vital to the mission, we probably would have had to maybe cancel the mission if that didn't happen, Eric told his co-pilot, also wounded, but not as gravely to, "Take over. I'm about ready to pass out."

[01:51:12] Speaker 2: Ah.

[01:51:12] Speaker 4: The success of the entire mission and the lives of his fellow warriors' hinge on Eric's ability to take the searing pain that was-

[01:51:22] Speaker 2: Oh.

[01:51:22] Speaker 4: ... unbelievable what's happened to his legs, of the bullets and keep on flying and landing. And people knew it was happening. Everybody in the back of the helicopter knew 'cause they saw the blood pouring down the aisle. Chief Warrant Officer Slover is still recovering from his serious wounds, but I'm thrilled to say that he is here tonight with his wife-

[01:51:47] Speaker 2: Praise the Lord. Aw.

[01:51:48] Speaker 4: ... Amy. Eric and Amy, come on in.

[01:51:51] Speaker 2: That's amazing he survived. Amazing. (clapping) That's a brave man and woman of our military. (clapping) Here they come. (clapping) Yay. Aw. Aw, he came in on a walker. (clapping) That's amazing.

[01:52:42] Speaker 4: So we have a surprise for Eric and Amy. In recognition of Eric's actions above and beyond the call of duty-

[01:52:51] Speaker 2: Yes, it was.

[01:52:51] Speaker 4: ... I would now like to ask General Jonathan Braga to present Chief Warrant Officer Slover with our nation's highest military award, the Congressional Medal of Honor.

[01:53:09] Speaker 2: Oh, that's great. Yeah. (clapping) (cheering) Aw. That's amazing that he's actually doing this presentation at the State of the Union tonight. He's done multiple of these now, awarding a Mal- Medal of Freedom, awarding two Purple Hearts, um, to the family of the National Guard woman that was killed the eve before Thanksgiving and to the man that was there that survived, he received a Purple Heart. And now this Medal of Honor to this brave man-

[01:53:43] Speaker 4: Great.

[01:53:44] Speaker 2: ... who helped lead the mission in to capture Maduro. (clapping) It's amazing that they're doing this at the State of the Union. I think that says a lot.

[01:54:19] Speaker 4: Well, thank you very much Eric and Amy. Uh, great to get to know you. I met with them and with a lot of their fellow warriors at Fort Bragg recently. You notice the name Fort Bragg? We have it back. We brought it back. We won the First World War with it, the Second World War with it, and then they decide to change the name.

[01:54:38] Speaker 2: Yeah.

[01:54:38] Speaker 4: So we changed it back and everybody wanted it changed back too. And 10 of Eric's fellow warriors-

[01:54:46] Speaker 2: It's interesting they brought Fort Bragg back after it was the DA named Allen Brad-

[01:54:49] Speaker 4: ... from that incredible night of victory will also be receiving medals at a private ceremony-

[01:54:52] Speaker 2: ... that tried President Trump in 2016.

[01:54:52] Speaker 4: ... that will soon be held at the White House.

[01:54:54] Speaker 2: It's interesting that after that they brought Fort Bragg back after that failed attempt. Thank you. (clapping) It's wonderful that they bring these people to the State of the Union.

[01:55:20] Speaker 4: Thank you, Eric. That's a big one. Tonight, we've celebrated many truly extraordinary American patriots, but there is one last living legend to honor before we go. He is one more heroic American aviator, Navy fighter pilot. Royce Williams served in World War II-

[01:55:42] Speaker 2: Aw.

[01:55:42] Speaker 4: ... Korea, Vietnam, flying more than 220 missions-

[01:55:47] Speaker 2: Wow.

[01:55:47] Speaker 4: ... in the skies over Korea in 1952. Royce was in the dogfight of a lifetime, legendary dogfight. Flying through blizzard conditions, his squadron was ambushed by seven Soviet fighter planes.

[01:56:02] Speaker 2: Wow.

[01:56:03] Speaker 4: It was his first aerial combat of the war, and despite being massively outnumbered and outgunned, Royce led the take-down of four enemy jets and almost destroyed the others, vanquishing his adversaries while taking 263 bullets to his own plane and being-

[01:56:20] Speaker 2: Wow.

[01:56:21] Speaker 4: ... seriously hurt. His story was secret for over 50 years. He didn't even want to tell his wife, but the legend grew and grew. But tonight, at 100 years old, this brave-

[01:56:34] Speaker 2: No.

[01:56:34] Speaker 4: ... Navy captain is finally getting the recognition he deserves.

[01:56:39] Speaker 2: 100 years old.

[01:56:39] Speaker 4: He was a legend long before this evening. Royce, please stand up and I will ask the First Lady of the United States to present Captain Royce Williams with his Congressional Medal of Honor. (audience applauds)

[01:56:52] Speaker 2: Wonderful. Aw. That's amazing. He's sitting next to the First Lady, too. At 100 years old, he gets recognized for his bravery in Korea and Vietnam. (audience cheers) It's so nice to see all of them now standing up for this, instead of just half the section in chambers. Now, the Democrats are gonna give a rebuttal after this. They're gonna give a rebuttal to this State of the Union, uh, and what's happening here. And so... And they're having their, uh, alternative people's rally, or whatever they're calling it at the National Mall. He looks great for 100 years old, this man. He looks great. And God bless him for all he did for this country. Oh, the derelicts finally decided to stand up. They're all up now for this man. Thank God, because this man deserves it after what he's been through. This State of the Union has been quite something, I have to say.

[01:58:55] Speaker 2: And watching give the awards too live, and bringing the US men's hockey team in and doing all of these different things-

[01:59:02] Speaker 4: Thank you, Royce, and thank you, Eric.

[01:59:03] Speaker 2: ... has been amazing to watch.

[01:59:04] Speaker 4: I've always wanted the Congressional-

[01:59:06] Speaker 2: Wow.

[01:59:06] Speaker 4: ... Medal of Honor, but I was informed I'm not allowed to give it to myself, and I wouldn't know why I'd be taking it, but... (audience laughs) If they ever open up that law, I will be there with you someday. (audience laughs) But you know, that's our highest honor, Congressional Medal of Honor and that's a big thing, and, uh, it's an honor to be in the same room with you. Thank you both very much, Eric. Thank you.

[01:59:31] Speaker 2: Oh, there goes Vice President Jamie Dan, Speaker Johnson again, getting everybody up. None of them have to go to the gym after this, they stood up for two hours up and down because they-

[01:59:45] Speaker 4: Thank you.

[01:59:45] Speaker 2: ... have gotten their cardio and their squats and their workouts -

[01:59:47] Speaker 4: 250 years is a long time in the life of a nation. But in another sense, it's really a mere moment in the eye of history.

[01:59:55] Speaker 2: He also wants to rededicate the nation to -

[01:59:57] Speaker 4: Two of the gentlemen we met in the gallery this evening-

[01:59:59] Speaker 2: ... who's been disappointed now-

[01:59:59] Speaker 4: ... took their first breaths-

[02:00:01] Speaker 2: ... that now we have to wait about a week for rededication and that's coming-

[02:00:01] Speaker 4: ... one century ago.

[02:00:03] Speaker 2: Just two months prior to the 25th, that first gift.

[02:00:04] Speaker 4: 100 years before that, on July 4th, 1826, the author of the Declaration of Independence, brilliant, Thomas Jefferson drew his last breath. Just a single long human lifespan separates the giants who declared and won our independence from the heroes who stand among us tonight. Everything our nation has done, everything we have achieved, has been the work of those few great lifetimes. In those brief chapters, Americans built this nation from 13 humble colonies-

[02:00:40] Speaker 2: Yep.

[02:00:40] Speaker 4: ... into the pinnacle of human civilization and human freedom. The strongest, wealthiest, most powerful-

[02:00:46] Speaker 2: I think that window from May to July-

[02:00:46] Speaker 4: ... most successful nation in all of history.

[02:00:49] Speaker 2: ... is going to be very intense from the time the nation-

[02:00:50] Speaker 4: Americans ventured out across-

[02:00:52] Speaker 2: ... dedicated to July-

[02:00:53] Speaker 4: ... the daunting and dangerous continent-

[02:00:54] Speaker 2: ... when the 250th happens is going to be one very-

[02:00:56] Speaker 4: ... we carved past, knew-

[02:00:56] Speaker 2: ... very intense-

[02:00:57] Speaker 4: ... an unforgiving wilderness.

[02:00:59] Speaker 2: ... window for the, the nation.

[02:01:00] Speaker 4: Settled a boundless frontier and tamed the beautiful but very-

[02:01:04] Speaker 2: Yeah.

[02:01:04] Speaker 4: ... very dangerous Wild West. From empty marshes and wide open plains, we raised up the world's greatest cities. Together we mastered the world's mightiest industries and-

[02:01:18] Speaker 11: Perfect.

[02:01:18] Speaker 4: ... shattered history's monstrous tyrannies.... and we liberated millions from the chains of fascism, communism, oppression, and terror. Americans lifted humanity into the skies on the wings of aluminum and steel, and then we launched mankind into the stars on rockets powered by sheer American will and unyielding American pride.

[02:01:42] Speaker 1: You know, going through the history of the nation...

[02:01:43] Speaker 4: We wired the globe with our ingenuity. We captivated the planet with American culture, and now, we are pioneering the next great American breakthroughs that will change the entire world.

[02:01:51] Speaker 1: What I like is that he stayed away from talking about AI too much. Did you notice? That was not...

[02:01:58] Speaker 4: All of this and so much more is the enduring legacy and unmatched glory of the hardworking patriots who built and defended this country, and who still carry the hopes and freedoms on all of humanity's backs. For years, they were forgotten, betrayed, and cast aside, but that great betrayal is over, and they will never be forgotten again.

[02:02:24] Speaker 1: Mm.

[02:02:24] Speaker 4: Because when the world needs courage, daring vision, and inspiration, it is still turning to America. And when God needs a nation to work his miracles-

[02:02:35] Speaker 1: Here we go.

[02:02:36] Speaker 4: ... he knows exactly who to ask. There is no challenge Americans cannot overcome.

[02:02:42] Speaker 1: Very nice that he mentioned that. The United States couldn't have done it without him.

[02:02:43] Speaker 4: No frontier too vast for us to conquer.

[02:02:45] Speaker 1: Without the first world.

[02:02:46] Speaker 4: No dream too bold for us to chase.

[02:02:49] Speaker 1: That's one of the things people raise up every 10... (laughs)

[02:02:50] Speaker 4: No horizon too distant for us to claim, for our destiny is written by the hand of providence, and these first 250 years-

[02:03:01] Speaker 1: Divine providence.

[02:03:01] Speaker 4: ... were just the beginning. From the rugged border towns-

[02:03:04] Speaker 1: This was dedicated, this land to the Lord, by a Robert Hunter, a New York veteran-

[02:03:04] Speaker 4: From the rugged border towns of Texas to the heartland villages-

[02:03:07] Speaker 1: ... who dedicated this land for purposes of eternal hope, of Jesus Christ. It was dedicated by a Robert Hunter in becoming the hold, in this time approaching 200th anniversary-

[02:03:17] Speaker 4: From the historic streets of Philadelphia to right here in our nation's capital, Washington, DC, the golden age of America is upon us.

[02:03:23] Speaker 1: ... when it was a man named Robert Hunter that dedicated this land.

[02:03:25] Speaker 4: The revolution that began in 1776 has not ended.

[02:03:29] Speaker 1: Ah.

[02:03:29] Speaker 4: It still continues because the flame of liberty and independence still burns in the heart of every American patriot. And our future will be bigger-

[02:03:41] Speaker 1: And the free.

[02:03:41] Speaker 4: ... better, brighter, bolder, and more glorious-

[02:03:43] Speaker 1: Free.

[02:03:43] Speaker 4: ... than ever before. Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.

[02:03:49] Speaker 12: (cheering and clapping)

[02:03:51] Speaker 1: Amen. Amen. And here we go as President Trump concludes his speech. That was quite the State of the Union that he gave. He touched on many topics. He touched on the economy, he touched on the stock market, he touched on Medicare, he touched on the cartels in Mexico, he touched on, uh, the mission to Venezuela to go get Maduro. Um, he touched on, uh, the transgender ideology and how children are under siege in this nation with it, and how this shouldn't be. He touched on, uh, the illegal i- immigration problem and actual criminals coming across the border that have hurt so many of our Americans with the open borders under the Biden administration. Um, he brought in the US men's Olympic hockey team as well, uh, which was an amazing moment. And the goalie, I guess, is getting the Medal of Freedom. He will be awarded the highest civilian honor, uh, for what he did during that gold medal match. So, that was amazing as well. He did bring up the 250th anniversary of America quite a bit.

[02:05:05] Speaker 1: He actually has announced in the recent weeks he wants to rededicate the nation back to Almighty God in May, just two months prior to the July 4th, 250th anniversary. Like I said, I believe that window from May to July is going to be intense. I believe it's going to be pressure-filled. I believe getting to this rededication is going to take a heightened spiritual level of sensitivity on the part of the White House that they have not experienced thus far, but will come to in this. Because to reconsecrate a nation, what you're doing is tearing down the altars of the false gods, of the altars that have been powering the nation, of where the nation has strayed away from the God of their Father, um, Almighty God, and you're literally going in to tear down those altars and rededicate the land to the Lord and build an altar to Almighty God. Um, and so he did bring that up during the State of the Union as well.

[02:06:14] Speaker 1: He also brought up the billions in fraud that is happening in this nation, that I believe they're appointing a fraud taskforce, um, as well to, to investigate this. This is just the beginning. We're seeing just the tip of the iceberg with Minnesota and what happened with the Somali community and all these daycare centers that had signs that said leering center instead of learning center, and all of that fraud, uh, is now coming to the surface. This is just the beginning because now California, they have their sights set on California as well and uncovering all the fraud in California. I believe you're gonna see Michigan as well come into this picture when it comes to fraud. But this is the season of the great excavation and the great exposure. We are watching that actively happen. We are seeing it with the Epstein files.

[02:07:08] Speaker 1: Uh, a former UK ambassador was just arrested in the past couple of days in the UK over the Epstein files, so now Prince Andrew and a UK ambassador within a week of Purim.They have both been arrested in connection with the Epstein files, so we're seeing this great excavation. We are seeing the hunters become the hunted. That was put, President's Day, on the White House website, with a picture of President Trump on a cover of a design of Time magazine, where it said, "I was the hunted, now I'm the hunter." That was going back to a November 2019 prophecy, November 26, 2019. "The hunter shall become the hunted, and the hunted are soaring on to glory and shall be above and not beneath. I'm preparing a table for you in the presence of your enemies. Truly, you shall eat the meal of victory." That was part of that word. We are watching that in this time.

[02:08:07] Speaker 1: Um, as well as, I find it interesting that President Trump, when it came to insider trading with Congress, because I gave a word from the Lord about the greatest, uh, insider trading scandal was going to come forth in this time. So, the fact he's saying it from the State of the Union tonight, um, and he's going there with them, and he called them out to their faces, and he's telling them to pass this legislation to ban insider trading in Congress. Yo-, let me tell you something. It looked like a chemical weapon had been released in the room, the look on their faces. I mean, it was just horror, but in the best way, because he's calling them out to their face, for thou they have taken advantage of their position, uh, th- when they are supposed to be servants of the people, and instead they have been servants of themselves. They have been feasting at the tables of Ahab and Jezebel. They have been feasting on delicate dainties. They have been feasting at the table with mammon.

[02:09:14] Speaker 1: And President Trump now was calling them out to their faces in front of everybody. He also called role call, uh, when it comes to voter ID and having an ID to vote. He called all of them out, all the Democrats out, right there in chambers, called them out to their faces that they have been trying to block voter ID from happening. You need an ID in this nation to do pretty much everything. You need an ID to get on an airplane. You need an ID to pick up your child from school. You need an ID to get into the gym. You need, um, an ID for people that go into liquor stores even in this country. They need an ID, uh, in order to do that. You need an ID to drive an automobile. You need an ID to get insurance. You need ID to get into the State of the Union tonight. They all needed their ID to get into the State of the Union, to get into any government building in this nation, you need an ID. But yet, they are banning ID when it comes to voting and when it comes to voter fraud.

[02:10:25] Speaker 1: They are trying to ban it and, and, and, and prevent that from becoming law because it messes up how they can interfere in elections. They've flooded all these people across the border now, dangerous people, traffickers, drug dealers, smugglers, terrorists, unsavory people, parts of the cartels, funneled them all across the border, want none of them to have an ID so they can just barrel them in in order to vote and influence elections. So, President Trump went there tonight, he talked about the amount of fraud that are in the elections. He went there as well, even referencing, you could tell, 2020 and what happened in 2020, and that they're working very hard in order to pass when it comes to voter ID. In other nations, you need an ID to vote. You need an ID at the DMV. How could you not have an ID to vote in this nation? Um, and so he went there as well in the State of the Union tonight. Interestingly enough, he stayed away from AI.

[02:11:34] Speaker 1: So, he, if you notice, seldomly mentioned it tonight in the State of the Union. He did mention America was entering its, quote, "golden age," uh, and what was happening with the stock market and the economy, um, and, and that arena of finance and markets, what was happening there. But he did not go into that area, so much, of AI. If you notice, too, he mentioned fraud. He didn't mention Doge, so that's another thing that happened, um, that he steered clear of tonight, is talking about Doge at all. If you notice as well, he talked about taking out Iran's facilities at Operation Midnight Hammer. When they went in, they deployed the stealth bombers, one set to Guam to throw everybody off, the other set went across Europe to Iran and bombed their nuclear facilities. He mentioned that. Now, keep in mind, he's mentioning this as over 150 US military aircraft have now gathered in Europe and the Middle East into position six days from Purim to get into position with Iran.

[02:12:42] Speaker 1: So, if you notice, he mentioned the last military operation. He said nothing about what they're currently going to do, and I think that was very, very intentional, because him mentioning the last military operation in Iran, I believe, was a tell. That's what I believe that was at the State of the Union tonight. I believe it was a tell. I believe mentioning that military operation-... was a tell of sorts, but if you notice, he did not mention the current state of what's happening in Iran. He totally steered clear of talking about what's being done to their civilians, the protests in Iran, the Ayatollah, the sh- the, the, uh, prince of the Shah of Iran, uh, Pahlavi, um, and the hand he has had in it rallying the people as well to stand and fight for their freedom. If you notice, he steered clear of all of that, and I believe that was very purposeful, that was very intentional, and that was by design to keep the element of surprise there.

[02:13:58] Speaker 1: Because I bet you Iranian f- officials were watching the State of the Union to see if he was gonna go there in order to try to notify and warn Iran of what was to come. If you notice, he stayed away from that, and if you notice too, um, for the most part, he stayed away from China. He stayed away and steered clear from talking about what is happening in China, um, and what China ha- has attempted to do to us as well. I think he brought them up briefly when it came to Russia and Chinese soldiers were surrounding Maduro's palace basically and helping to guard Maduro when the US military went in. That was the only mention really of China the entire State of the Union. I find that very, very interesting as well. He did bring up Russia and Ukraine. He called them out as well. Um, another thing he didn't bring up, which was interesting, is what is happening in this nation with Islam. He emphasized bringing the nation back to Almighty God.

[02:15:08] Speaker 1: He i- he emphasized that faith, there's a revival of faith in this nation. But if you notice, he did not talk about, at all, how mosques are growing at an alarming rate right now in this nation, what is happening in New York City, that they got the call to prayer for Muslims blasting across the city now, is what's going on. So, if you notice, he steered clear of all of that, and I think that was all by design in order to not give any insight or information into what they're planning on doing when it comes to Iran and the Middle East. So, I think that's partially a reason he may have steered clear of that and stayed away from that. Uh, we will have to see. I loved that he did mention Almighty God in many places. Um, I wish he would've brought up Jesus Christ. I'm gonna say that honestly. I really wish, um, he would of, uh, he would have said that. But I was thrilled to hear him, on many occasions, bring up Almighty God and dedicating the nation back to God.

[02:16:15] Speaker 1: That is huge for a State of the Union, and to do that before the nation, um, and to tell them your intention in that regard, which is a very serious intention. The Lord is gonna require a high level of consecration from President Trump, from the White House, and from the Cabinet to walk in a higher level of submission and consecration to Almighty God to prepare them to go in to rededicate the nation. Joshua had to cleanse the camp. He had to consecrate himself in the camp after they, uh, they got their butts kicked at Ai the first time in order to go back into that battle. And it's the same here. They got to purge the camp in the White House right now. Purge it. They got to cleanse it. They've got to get the thieves out of it. They've got to expose what's in people's tents. They have to ready themselves, set themselves apart, consecrate themselves, and, and get into order and get into the submissive mindset that is needed in order to walk this walk to May.

[02:17:19] Speaker 1: Because the enemy is gonna do everything he can to derail it. Because when this nation is rededicated, there are legal ramifications in the realm of the spirit that take territory away from the kingdom of darkness, both in the spirit (clears throat) , excuse me, and in the natural. (smacks lips) And so, they have to be spiritually equipped and prepared for that, and in the right heart posture and mental place to understand, this is a spiritual war. They're, they're, they're battling on grounds of covenant spiritually in order to rededicate this nation. This is where the mind of the White House really has to go in this. Uh, and so, just continue to intercede and pray for them, and pray for the Cabinet, because the altar of intellectualism is not gonna do it here. Stalk it's, uh, stoking that altar is not gonna do it here. Um, and we have to (clears throat) understand that, but I'm very glad he brought it up, (clicks tongue) and he brought up the rededication of the nation.

[02:18:24] Speaker 1: I also thought awarding every one of those heroes of our military those medals was incredible, to do it on national TV, and to just let everyone at the State of the Union, the congressmen and women that were there, along with the American citizens and citizens who were watching, um, to watch those incredible honors, uh, take place for the bravery of these men and women. Um, because they are the true heroes in this nation. (clears throat) It is not, um... The true heroes of this nation are not paid protesters out in the streets, um, e- eh, bringing an outcry of Amalek in the nation. Heroes of the nation (clears throat) isn't somebody with an LGBTQ shirt, a rainbow and a thong on, marching in a parade. That's not a hero either. Somebody who is really a man, who thinks they're a woman, that is going into the women's bathroom, is not a hero either. These are not heroes in this nation. These are very lost-... people in bondage to the kingdom of darkness.

[02:19:29] Speaker 1: The true heroes of the nation are the ones that are laying down their life, and putting their lives on the line, and serving to protect our freedoms. Freedom is a gift. Liberty is freedom with responsibility. That responsibility comes with a high price. It comes with high service, and that was incredible that he did that tonight. I'm sure the Democrats are going to try to rebuttal and pick every blessed thing apart about this State of the Union, and just say, "Oh, people should be who they are, and blah, blah, blah." Shut up! Just shut up in this moment. Nobody wants to hear from you right now. No one wants to hear from you and your stuffy insider trading, whatever else you're doing that you shouldn't be doing, selves off in the Capitol. Nobody wants to hear it right now. People need money for groceries. People need money for gas. People need their bills lowered. They need their taxes lowered. They need to stop being oppressed. They need violence to stop happening in the nation.

[02:20:37] Speaker 1: They need fentanyl to stop coming across the border. They need illegals to stop marching themselves with traffickers, cartel drug pushers, and everything in between across our border. They need them to stop killing their family members and their children. They need Somalis and anybody else committed fraud to knock that crap off in the states that they're doing it in, and they actually need some order in this nation. They don't need to hear you on your ideological fence sit up there and try to tell us peon peasants in the United States of America what we should think, what we should port, should support, and what demonic agenda and ideology you're going to jam down our throats next and make us accept. Those days are over. They're over. And this is why you're seeing judgment in this time, excavation and exposure in this time, the hunter becoming the hunted, because that window of grace has thinned, people. It has thinned, and we are actively watching that happen.

[02:21:46] Speaker 1: And as they sit on their proverbial fence of entitlements and of agendas and of ideologies and of paid protesters and of the CCP and the charities and of the lobbyists that are paying them behind the scenes, let me tell you something, they're about to get a butt-whooping and fall right off that fence before the American people. That is what we are going to watch happen in this time, in this season. So they could rebuttal all they want with their diarrhea of the mouth and, and their hoity-toity selves with which, you know, you can't have a gun, but they can have their armed security. We want open borders, but we want fences and armed security and our doors locked at night. This is the type of people you are dealing with. They'd want to tell you to allow open borders and to allow unvetted people who are highly damaged, who are under the influence of the kingdom of darkness, into our nation, but they don't want to leave their doors unlocked.

[02:22:46] Speaker 1: They have t- huge fences up around their homes. They have armed security, the Democrats, and even some moderate Republicans who think this way. They have all that. They don't want to open up their home and their borders to these people. But they sure as heck want to make you. And this is what is getting shut down and put on lockdown in this time. And I'm telling you, this is the first of many heads of the cartel that are going to go down like dominoes in this time. The window of grace has thinned. Their Day of the Dead Santeria idolatry, sacrifices, satanic worship at the highest levels right now is under judgment from Almighty God. And you know who else is under judgment right now? The leader of Mexico as well, for the blood she has allowed to be spilled in order to keep her seat. Athalia is under judgment as well, and her little exploits with the cartel are gonna come out in this time also. That is the kind of time we are in. So watch for that, because it's coming.

[02:23:54] Speaker 1: And we put out a Short about prophecy about the cartel and the heads of the cartel being struck in this time. So you can go watch that on our platforms, all our Arc of Grace Ministries official platforms. We do have it out. So yeah, I'm preaching tonight. Yep, I'm preaching. I'm gonna land this plane, though. We're gonna wind it down, because, uh, it's 11:20 at night here and our team's tired. Um, and so I was yawning. I was trying not to yawn, but I yawned a little bit through, I'm sorry, the State of the Union, not because I was bored, but because I'd been on the run all day. So we thank you so much for joining us tonight. We appreciate, um, that you're coming with us. You know what we'll do right now, quickly, if we have it, we'll put up Andrew Sorchin really quick at the end here for the State of the Union. Uh, we'll throw him up towards the end. I've got Buster out cold here. This is Andrew Sorchin of Beverly Hills Precious Metals. He knows...

[02:24:49] Speaker 1: He is very knowledgeable, him and his team, in all things gold and silver and gold-backed IRAs. You can text him at 310-433-3524, or send him an email, andrew@bh-pm.com. You can tell him you saw this on Arc of Grace. Him and his team would love to talk to you. Silver and gold right now are at very interesting positions right now in the market. And so if you're looking to invest, if you're looking to protect what you have, please call Andrew today or text him. They would love to speak to you. Praise the Lord. And I think that's where we're gonna end it for tonight, guys, so thank you so much for joining us. We will be back on live. Um, we will announce it. It'll be later on the week. I'm not sure if it's going to be Thursday or Friday yet. But we're, we're gonna be looking into it, and we will announce what time we were coming on live and what day this week again. So we will see you in just a couple of days or so. God bless everyone. Armor up according to Ephesians 6.

[02:25:50] Speaker 1: Psalm 91, I say it every single day, I encourage you to say it every single day. We have other Psalms up there for you as well. Please go, and read them, and speak them, and declare them. Ephesians 1:16-20 and 3:14-19, I say those scriptures every single day, as well as the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6. We encourage you strongly to include that in your daily prayer walk. We always want to include you, the, the... We always want to encourage you as we close in the Word, because it's living, active, and current for every generation. And we are watching the pages of the Bible prophetically come to life, literally, in this time and in this season. It's absolutely incredible. So thank you everyone for joining us. Get some rest. Have a wonderful rest of your evening. We're gonna conclude now this live, uh, reaction and watch party to the State of the Union, and we will see you later on in the week. Keep the faith, everyone.

[02:26:44] Speaker 1: (wings flapping)
