What this episode is about

This piece analyzes expectations and betting around a high-profile State of the Union address, focusing on audience reactions, anticipated duration, and public interest indicators such as live commentary and betting metrics. It highlights the discourse about how long the address will last and who is watching.

Key takeaways

• State of the Union chatter blends nostalgia with data: audiences crave context, not just applause lines.
• Record-length predictions reveal media’s obsession with spectacle; substance vanishes when numbers replace narratives.
• Historically, audiences over-index on entertainment; the real takeaway is policy clarity, not punchy one-liners.
• Debate decorum has eroded as live feeds reward controversy; yet coherent messaging still outperforms chaos.
• Fact: televised presidents evolved from formal roasts to audience-driven performances; the shift tests legitimacy, not vision.

Full transcript with timestamps

0:06 seconds. >> Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright. >> My handshake is better than anything I ever sign. It's right here. >> You are a 101. My son's right. I don't think I've ever said this before. All right, we're officially live. We got an audience in the house. Make some noise, folks. We got the folks here at the boardroom cigar lounge watching the State of the Union together. My wife said, "What time is he going to be coming home tonight?" I said, "Look, it looks like he wants to break a record tonight." I don't know what that means.

0:49 If the guy breaks a record tonight, you know, we're here till midnight because he's going to have they got 30 minutes to shake hands. Okay. >> Yeah. Then he the the record all-time record is a buck 28 hour 28. It was by Bill Clinton when he broke the record longest ever. And if he says he goes two hours, there's a couch bed right now. Rob, what is the couch bed right now? Not the bed, but couch numbers that are looking at on how long he's going to be going. Some are saying over two hours.

1:17 There are people saying that he may be going over two hours tonight. >> What is the number? >> 1.3 million has been put up >> on what the 1.3 million on 90 minutes or above 86% chance above that. >> Look at the jump. >> 78% is saying so what is Can you go more markets? Let's see what's above two hours. >> Go to two hours. 2 hours uh 120 minutes. 76% say he's going to go over 100 minutes which is >> hour and hour and 40 minutes. It's an hour and 40 minutes. So we'll see what's going to happen. Um there are a lot of people that are not going to be there tonight. a lot of senators, congressmen, we'll show the report here in a a few uh for you to see some fun facts about the state of the union. Uh it is mandated, it is required by the president to give

2:02 an update to Congress. So, he's given his update. This is one of those president that probably talks to the American people the most. Originally, it wasn't a speech. Some did a speech. Jefferson said he doesn't want to do a speech because he thought it was too royal. So they wrote the state of the union speech to people for like about a hundred years and then they brought it back after a hundred years. Woodro Wilson brought it back in 1913. The first State of the Union on the radio was 1923. First on TV47, first in color 1965, first on the internet 2002 and then it used to be called the annual message FDR change it to the state of the union. And uh modern average 70 to 100 standing ovations. I just want to make it clear, nobody here needs to stand up. We're just going to enjoy it.

2:47 So, every time they stand up, we're not doing it here. We're going to have fun for ourselves. Some people are having drinks, old fashions, you know, different kind of things, cigars, and we have a few Middle Easterners in the house. They may even call hookah to be here in a minute, by the way. That could happen. That's very likely it could happen with this audience. And uh 1986, the speech was postponed after the Challenger disaster. 1986. And right now, if you're from New York, for those of you guys that live in New York, the stuff I'm hearing about going on in New York with 23 ines of snow, I don't know if you saw the video with what uh Central Park looks like, it's a whole different story. But thank God today, I don't know if you guys caught that, AOC came out with Mom Donnie in Spanish making sure all the illegal immigrants

3:30 know that it's free childcare in New York. So, as long as you guys know that's going out, everything's going to be okay. But let me start it off right open, right off the bat. Tom, what do you think is going to happen tonight? What is the outcome? There's a lot of things that's going to happen. They're trying to make it a bad show for him. They want him to come in and not look good. I have a feeling they're going to be screaming, hollering, not a lot of people being in there. On the left, you Thomas Massie is allegedly sitting with the Democrats. A lot of stuff that's going to happen here tonight. What do you think's going to happen?

3:57 >> I I think it's a tough day for America because I don't like how it's unfolding. Yeah. >> I don't like the fact you've got Dems that are boycotting it and are going to use the internet and an alternative channel to kind of put something out there. It used to be where the president, love him or not, we all come together in the House of Representatives with the cabinet with the Supreme Court in the front row. Supreme Court stays neutral, sits there quietly, and we let the president speak and then we give a rebuttal. That used to be how we did it with there was decorum. Even with discord or disagreement, there was decorum. Uh today, we're I expect there be some booing. I expect there to be sitting down and frowning faces because I know that the um cameras are on them.

4:38 Uh I've already said what certain Democrats are boycotting. Now with the president um the president needs to put a positive message out to the American people about what he's doing about affordability and that he's urgent about it and not be doing as Pam Bondi did recently. But look at how the stock market's doing when she was in the middle of her congressional hearing. American people are looking for economic relief. They are happy with the policy at the border. They don't like how it's unfolded, but 72% of America agree with the president's policy on immigration and closing the border. But it's up over 66% are very upset about how it unfolded. So I think the president is going to come out and count his victories. We've got the biggest this, we've got the longest, we've got the best recover, etc., etc., etc. and he

5:27 deserves credit on inflation and on CPI and closing the border. There's things he deserves credit on. I think he's going to then be a little bit of a bully at a time where he really needs to be Reagan-esque and to be strong and consolatory and commit to what he's doing for the American people. But I just um I'm I'm a little nervous because I don't want to see how it's all going to unfold. I don't I don't think it's good on both sides. Yeah.

5:53 Well, first of all, the State of the Union, I think, is in fantastic shape. We We have to remember, guys, since 2016, Pat, it's just been relentless uh pressure from the other side, Russia, uh, you know, all the impeachments, all the it's been nonstop. Hitler this that what he's been able to accomplish besides getting a bullet almost ripping his head off. Another guy trying to kill him at Mara Lago. Another guy yesterday that just showed up to try to kill the president that that was shot and killed.

6:22 Think about it guys. Border shutdown, deportations happening even though with the resistance of everybody and all the paid for stuff from George Soros and all these big companies to try to, you know, put resistance, all the Alex Pies, all those situations, it's all set up. All right. Uh we're respected on the world stage. When Trump walks in a room and Trump wants to do business, everybody respects us now. I don't care what they want to say. He's holding holding everybody accountable. The terrorists were working till, you know, Supreme Court uh went and went 63 and I think that they're still going to fight for that. Um I said that part, but then just this isn't about him, guys. He has three years left. It's done. This speech, I think, is going to aim towards the future of the Republican party, letting everybody know, guys, we mean business.

7:04 This is how it's going to be set up. and he's setting up for whoever is going to come for the Marco Rubio or the JD Vance or somebody to come out. But guys, understand this. He is doing a great job. He is doing an actually really really really good job, but it's constant constant pressure and nudging and and this and that. By the way, Epste files back. He released 3 million 500 files. Why? Nobody anybody want to celebrate and say, "Guys, for how many years? 30 years, nothing has come out.

7:33 He's doing it. He's doing what the people want." And I think he deserves a lot more credit than what they're going to give him. >> I think the my opinion I think that by the way is Adam with us or no? >> Is Adam with us? Just so if you can show them on the Zoom as well so everybody knows. >> Adam, just so you guys know, is Adam, can you tell everybody where you were all day today? >> Sir, can you hear me? >> I can.

7:55 >> Wonderful. Well, I'm here in Washington DC. I was interviewing a lot of our our Republican congressmen and Congress women. Honored to be doing so right now. I got I'm out here in the field PBD. I'm representing the PBD brand and the value team and brand uh in the swamp. You know, we want to drain the swamp, but we're going to make America great again. >> What What is the feeling you're getting, by the way? What is the feeling you're getting? Because Rob, can can you show one of the clips with him? And uh uh is it John Kenn? Who's the one that was speaking to?

8:25 >> Uh uh yeah, play one of the clips of Adam there today. I got a lot of thoughts on tonight and we have 42 minutes until he gets started. I want you to show the clip from the beginning of Adam being there. Show the official stuff. Make him look good because you know Adam likes this kind of stuff. Go ahead Rob. Adam is literally in DC today. He was at the State of the Union press talking to a bunch of congressmen and women. >> Nice. It looks cool. >> First question. The number one concern on most Americans mind is the economy, affordability.

9:00 Everyone's concerned what the government can do, but what could individuals and families do better to save that money? >> To paraphrase Congresswoman Omar, I love you like a brother, but but but please behave tonight. Yes. >> Don't don't act like you're having a grandmouth seizure. I say the same thing to my Republican colleagues. We're all there to hear the president. We're not there to hear each other. Number two, here's what I think the president will do tonight. What I hope he does, Adam. I hope he will look at the American people in the eye and talk to them about things that mom and moms and dads are worried about when they lie down and sleep try to sleep at night and can't.

9:40 >> Sharia law and the Islamification of America. >> We see what's happening in New York with Madani. We see what's happening in Dearborn, Michigan, other places around the country. Texas is ground zero. Houston and Dallas Fort Worth where you've got this epic city. You got this Islamic center in Houston. >> We'll have more stuff that will come. What I want to ask from Adam is the following. Adam, what is the feeling you're getting from talking to everybody there? What what are they thinking is going to happen tonight? What are they saying is going to happen tonight? We we read the reports. We've seen, you know, the number I have right now, six senators will not be attending tonight.

10:12 Patty Murray, Chris Van Holland, Ruben Ggo, Tina Smith, Ed Marky, uh you got Jeff Merkeley, and then you have one, two, three, 42, 4468. Around 15 representatives won't be there tonight. Katherine Clark who's the minority whip, Jim Heims, Yasmin Ansari, Ami Barra, Delia Ramirez, Sean Cast, we got a bunch of other names there as well. all of all across the country. Ro Kana's apparently going to be bringing uh one of the uh girls from the Epstein uh uh uh one of the girls from the Epstein uh that apparently she was the one that was bringing >> the girls to him that you know she was getting paid to bring the other girls.

10:52 Roano's going to bring uh that that girl there. There's going to be a couple other things. I mean I know Thomas Massiey's allegedly going to be sitting with Democrats. So there it's going to be a spectacle, but what are you feeling from talking to everybody? What are they saying? Well, if you uh you're talking about the state of the union and state of the economy and state of America right now, if you only pulled or spoke to Republicans, you'd have uh in great unison that America's greater than ever.

11:17 We're making America great again. So, everyone is excited about what Trump is doing. You know, I asked them, hey, what do you maybe disagree with what he's doing? They were very uh dismissive of that. They said, listen, there's a lot of things that the Democrats can criticize him about, but Trump's playing offense. We're here uh advocating for him. We love what he's doing. We respect what he's doing. We voted for this. You know, Trump's on offense is what they keep saying. He's playing offense where what are the Democrats doing? They're just booing from the sidelines right there. So, it's the uh the classic Teddy Roosevelt, you know, man in the arena situation. Trump is going at warp speed playing offense where the Democrats are just booing and they have all these different other agendas. Uh but the the

11:56 one thing they don't have, it seems, is patriotism. when every single Republican who's proud to be an American, proud of what uh President Trump is doing and uh excited for the State of the Union tonight. >> Yeah. So, you know, for me, I I think if it's the other way around and if the Democrats were there and you had an opportunity to capitalize, you know, people I know Tom is saying, "I hope they don't do anything. I hope they don't do anything like this." is there was a guy back in the days in 2009 when Obama said nothing's going to happen with your taxes with uh uh healthc care nothing's going to go up there was a guy named Joe Wilson that stood up and it said you lie I don't know if you guys remember that or not when that took place under Obama if you have that clip Rob if you want to play it so that's not

12:42 the right thing to do I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of those what was one of the Nancy Pelosi what did she do when she ripped the state and then you had some of the people that were holding up signs against uh Elon Musk If you remember those handles when they had with Doge and they were talking about some things with Elon. I don't know if you remember that or something >> year ago, something like that. Go ahead, Rob. Play that clip if you have it. Here's President Obama. Go for it.

13:05 >> Also those who claim that our reform efforts would ensure illegal immigrants. >> This too is false. The reforms The reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally. >> That's Joseph Wilson. >> Look at Nancy. NY's face. >> Okay. >> And one more. >> By the way, I don't know if you guys noticed or not, Obama looks like he's 27 years old. He looks like he's 78 right now. He's aged a lot. But here here's what I think is going to happen. We can sit here and, you know, I can't apologize for who I voted for, where I'm at. Nothing has changed for me. I supported this man 16, 20, 24. However, you have to pay attention to numbers. We will show CNN polls when Harry Anton is showing poll numbers that are looking

13:55 favorable for Trump. And you know, sometimes you're like, well, we're not going to show that poll because that poll is not a good poll to show. Let's not show that one. Let's only show the positive polls. I don't know if you guys saw yesterday what Harry Anon showed. If you want to pull this, Rob, right before. Okay. And I got some thoughts on this, Rob. I gave you the clip. I think you have it. This is yesterday, right before State of the Union. If you haven't seen this yet, this is same Harry Anton that's been showing a lot of polls that are favorable for Trump. This is him yesterday. And out of everything he shows, the only one I care about is about independence. That's the only one I care about. Rob, just play the first minute. Go for it.

14:34 >> Harry Anton is running the numbers on this one for us. Harry, what's your take um with what you're looking at on how people are feeling about how Trump is doing in this moment? >> Yeah. Okay. I would borrow the phrasing of Tony Blair, of course, the former prime minister of Great Britain, saying weak, weak, weak. It was weak over there in the United Kingdom. It is weak here in the United States when it comes to President Trump. Okay, Trump's net approval rating. Look at all the preodus polls. The so State of the Union. Look at this. Okay, we're at this point. Look at that. Negative 27 points. My goodness gracious. The snow is up to the knees here in New York City and Trump seems to be well underneath it at this point.

15:12 Compare that to where he was in 2020, 2019, and 2018 in term one going into those state unions. Minus 10, way lower now. Minus5, way lower now. Minus5, way lower now. The bottom line is this. Donald Trump has never been weaker going into a State of the Union address, according nor CNN polling, than he is right now. And weaker by a considerable amount. >> So this is his first term to his second term. How does it compare to other presidents at this point in their second term though? >> Yeah. Okay. It's not just that Donald Trump is breaking records compared to himself when it comes to State of the Unions. He's breaking records compared to other presidents at this point going into a State of the Union. What are we talking about? Look at all the 21st century presidents on your screen right here about at this point a second term going into the State of the Union. Trump

15:56 atus 27 points. Obama was at -15 points. George W. Bush was atus 11 points. You don't have to be a mathematical genius to know that minus 27 points is considerably lower than -15 or minus 11. So Trump isn't just weaker than he's ever been going into a State of the Union address. He is weaker than any other president this century going into a State of the Union address at this point in their second term. >> You're talking about it all throughout the show as we're going through these numbers, but talk about what is driving this drop for the for the president.

16:27 >> What is driving this drop? I said record was the name of the game when it came to this segment, right? talking about the lowest Trump has ever been going into the State of the Union, the lowest that any president has been this century going into a State of the Union at this point in their presidency. It is also the weakest that Donald Trump has ever been with independence. Look at this drop we've been talking about at the past few months. At this point, a year ago, Donald Trump was atus 13 points.

16:53 Look at this. Minus 47 points among independents. the lowest Donald Trump has ever been in either of his two terms as president with independence. That is driving these numbers. When you're 47 points underwater with independence, that's the name of the game. >> Okay. So, how do you feel about that? What do you think about that? When you see a number like that, do you guys feel anything when you see a number like that? What do you think? What does it make you think? >> You'd like to see the po I think Harry Anton's fairly fair. You know, when when when you when you look at some of these things, to me, here's how I process it.

17:27 I think Democrats are so flip flipping lucky right now and they better capitalize. And here's why. What happened the last seven days? If we were to look at what happened the last seven days, it's what the tariff Supreme Court goes 63. Everything you read about today, it's what? Lawsuits, lawsuits, lawsuits, lawsuits. EU is going to come back and say we're not going to meet the tariffs that you're saying because your own Supreme Court is voting against you. What the tariffs did when they went 63, that threw a lot of people off. The Supreme Court went the other way. Now, we know there's still other ways that he can go about it. You know, you're going to hear FedEx today. What did FedEx today come out and say?

18:09 >> Officially uh sued to get their money back, not just the press release. Federal Express sued the federal government looking to get all of the tariff money back that they paid, >> which is pretty nasty. And by the way, this kind of stuff happens while you're going through it. And then what else is going on right now as we're going into the State of the Union? You got the indecision. What's going on with Iran? Everyone's wondering what's going to happen here. So the independents that are in the middle, they're sitting there saying, "Are we going to do this? Are we not going to do this?" Some of them are going to be non-interventionalist.

18:37 There's a lot of stuff that's going to be going on. And I think tonight there's going to be so many surprises unknown that they're going to try to rattle the president. But here's what I think is going to be happening. When we look at this kind of stuff, the president said something the other day that we're not doing a good job talking about our successes and marketing. Let me give you some numbers for you to be thinking about when you see that right there. A year and a half ago, everybody was worried about bordering criminals coming through. When's the last time you thought about what's going on with border? Bingo. Lowest since 1970.

19:13 He made America safer. murder rates from 25 to 24 down 20%. Down 20%. We can continue with these things that we're talking about. Tax reform. People are putting more money back into their business when they're hiring people. Remember when we used to see all these men and women sports? What did he do? No men and women sports. Parents out there sitting there saying, "Man, I had a lot of sports where guys would come in and competing." No, we're not going to be talking about that stuff. Remember the whole ESG stuff that we would hear about all over the place? Remember DEI? How many of these companies that were faces of ESG and DEI like BlackRock? Nope.

19:51 We're going away from it. Goldman Sachs, nope, we're going away from it. What even happened to Disney right now that they do her annual gay parade at Disney? They said, "No, we ain't doing it this year." Why is it happening now? You know, you look at the stuff Disney had to do. Kathleen Kennedy that every other cartoon they were doing, they were putting some kind of an LGBTQ character on her. She stepped down January December 31st of last year. So, a lot of this stuff that's happening, but they've not done a good job marketing this stuff. He claims he ended eight and a half wars. Whatever the number is, he stopped a lot of wars. He's still got a couple other things that's going on.

20:24 What they did with Venezuela, you know, we don't want to do this. We don't want another war with Venezuela, he went in, they got it done, they left. News, oh my god, it's going to be horrible. No, it was actually the gave credit to our great Delta Force and Navy Seal what they did. But you know, and then what they did with Iran's nuclear bombs, we don't give that enough credit. The baby Trump accounts that a lot of other companies, you saw Michael Dell coming out and saying, "Hey, we're going to be good for this." Uh, and many of the corporate companies, you know, joined him on that. Gas prices, drill, baby drill. I can say a bunch of different things. I mean, he even got, you know, this may be the biggest accomplishment. Some people thought this was never possible. Some people here are probably going to get emotional when I

21:03 tell you this. He was the only man in the history of America that was able to get Rosie O'Donnell to leave America. That's a massive accomplishment. I You guys got to realize this kind of stuff is not easy to do. We've had Obama, Clinton, Bush, a lot of people couldn't pull it off. Even Biden couldn't pull it off, but she left. So, in all seriousness, I do think if I am a campaign strategist for Democrats, you best capitalize off of today. But if you push too far, people going to see you as well when it comes down to midterms this year. But, but I don't think the Republicans don't have anything that they need to address as well. I do think affordability is something they got to address. I do think this Epstein stuff was a big fumble. I do think the Epstein stuff, Pam Bondi handed that to the Democrats.

21:48 Here you go. Thomas Massie and Roano ran with it and was like, "Oh my god, great. Where's the other stuff? Where's the other stuff? Where's the other stuff?" Instead, you could have done it in a very methodical, structured way, not in the way that they they did it that turned into the fumble. It was that was a massive screw up that created a lot of noise. So today, as much as we know all this stuff, and FYI, when when you know, my friend Tom here will say, you know, I hope everybody stays classy tonight. I hope everybody does this tonight. I mean, look, here's what I know about how the world works. The I used to do business videos, and these business videos used to be here's how to hire, here's how to raise money, here's how to do this, how's Okay, everybody liked me.

22:30 Oh my god, your business content is great. Here's how to expand into a new market. Here's how to sign, you know, do a here's how to do this. Oh, this guy's the moment I gave my opinion on political issues. I officially had enemies. So, should I sit there and say, "Feel sorry for me." No, I knew it was coming. What happens when you give your opinion? You have a different opinion. Somebody's going to come and push back. Oh my god, he's this, he's that, he's that's how the market works. If I go out there and say some stuff about Islam and what some of the folks that do the Islamist and I say some markets are not safer, somebody may come back and criticize and say, "You know what? You you're all about Israel. That's what you are. You're taking us $7,000." It's a

23:09 very natural reaction. I'm not surprised by it. So, meaning if they pull off a publicity stunt today at the State of the Union, don't be surprised. You know why not? the the president brought three of uh Bill Clinton's victims at a debate with his wife standing right next to him that he's debating. Do you understand what I'm saying? So, President Trump is very comfortable wrestling with everybody, but he's a big boy. He's going to come in, I have a feeling uh uh he's going to do what he does best. He's going to put it in their faces. They're going to hate it. They're going to lose their [ __ ] He's going to stay calm.

23:44 He's going to deliver his message. God willing he does that. We don't know what's going to happen. Temperatures are pretty high right now. But I do think they're going to capitalize off this uh the polls, the numbers, the issues with Epstein. I think Democrats are salivating right now. By the way, the Supreme Court ruling could have been done next week. Big difference. Imagine he does the State of the Union tonight and they announce Supreme Court next Tuesday. Imagine if those were the dates. Very big difference on storyline, right? So, just think about how everything happened in a certain way leading up to this. And there's a reason why they call him Teflon Don because he knows how to handle it. We've never had a guy like this before as a president.

24:23 So, I'm actually excited to see what he does here tonight. Tom, your thoughts? Well, I agree with you. You got to have an opinion. And um I voted for him. I don't regret that I voted for him. I love all the victories. I want to see more from the economy and I want to hear a strong plan for the economy. Uh I know that um he's going to spike the football on the border and we should and he's got a lot of things he could talk about. I want to hear a strong plan for the economy. That's what I want to hear. Um I, you know, my comment was I kind of long for the days where there was statesmanship and decorum because it's not what we look like to each other.

24:58 We'll fight in the bar and things like that. You know, we're Americans. I just hate that the rest of the world sees this. I hate the rest of the world looks at it because we are the leader. $ 31 trillion. This is this is you know this huge economy and this world leadership and where we are. The world needs us. The world is safer when America is strong and America is in control. The world is safer. That's just a fact. History proves it. You know the the Europeans saying the Yanks are coming.

25:29 You know that was a song. Why did it happen? It happened because they were looking forward to us coming to help. The world's been able to depend on this historically. Yeah, we've had our faults, but I want to hear a strong plan tonight for America. And I hate when the discord kind of spills over and you've got Europe making the comments like they're making because look, without firing a shot, he went through Europe and he got trade deals done. Those deals were done because we had been abused. We were the weaker party having been abused in some of these trade and tariff deals that Europe had. And he goes, "No more.

26:06 We were funding NATO to protect them." And he said, "Pay your own way. We'll pay to be a part of it, but you got to pay your own way." That's leadership. And that is America first and not America only. And I want to hear strength tonight for the economy. And I want to see strength for us on a world stage. And what's happened this past week really is disappointed me on the latter. >> Can can you imagine, Tommy? Can you just take a second and imagine what he would have been able to accomplish if the Democrats and the left weren't just relentlessly trying to destroy him? Tom, just because Tom. Thank you. Just because they dude, they they still cannot believe that this guy, this billionaire New York playboy turned reality star became the president. And since that moment, he was even shocked.

26:53 They made it their their one priority to try to destroy him, to subvert the will of us. The people, the real people that voted and support the president, Tom. It's been like that forever. Pat, he made a great point. >> They did subvert the will of us. >> They subvert. It's this is a known fact. Obama and Brennan and all them spied on an incoming president. Hillary did the Russia collusion thing. He was already set off on a on a crash course. HOW? HOW CAN PAT, how can you do your job if five people from this room are spying on you, setting stuff up, tapping your phone?

27:24 Oh, you went over here or he's a Russian ASSET FOR FOUR YEARS AND HE STILL WAS trying to do his job. And then we're finding out in Fulton County there, guys, they're investigating on all the cheating that was happening in Fulton County, blocking all the windows and doing all that stuff. And then is it weird, Pat? We talk about affordability. We talk about tariffs. Is it pay attention? What happened in 2019, 2020? Trump was holding China accountable and making them pay their fair share and making them pay uh pay tariffs and then all of a sudden a virus comes out of a lab from China and destroys the world and they have zero accountability. Zero.

27:56 And these same people Xing Jinping shows up to to San Francisco. He's treated like a god, Tom. They get they the homeless people disappear. >> They shipped him to San Francisco. They put him on buses to San Excuse me Sacramento. Sacramento San Francisco. Sacramento so that it would look nice for his uh visit. >> Yeah. And so he makes a great point. Those are three CNN polls. I get it, but it's like enough is enough. They've been going after this guy forever. The wars.

28:20 And I want to ask you a question, Pat. How much of those independents are shifting? Because I know, you know, social media has changed. Nobody's really watching mainstream media, but at the end of the day, they're still it's still working. You know what I mean? Like wars. He's going to start a war. No. No, he didn't. He went in there in 45 minutes took Maduro, took his ass out. That's it. HE'S WORLD WAR II. HE WAS GOING TO DO NORTH KOREA. NO, NO, NO, he didn't. Iran, he did this. No, we bombed one little surgical strike. He's being surgical and methodical. I just wish the other side, and I get it. Left and right, Pat. It has to be Democrat, Republican. Let him do his job.

28:54 Criticize him all you want. There's a lot of stuff on the Epstein stuff. Guess what? Three, three, three and a half million uh released. Okay, I'm fine. You know what I'm not fine with, guys? Why are the male names redacted? Victims. I don't want to see one victim's name. Zero. But it says Jeffrey Epstein. He J Epstein vacation. That was his email. Why are you redacting the male names? Put them out there. I want to see every single guy that was involved with either torturing, raping, or murdering these people. Cuz I talked about this uh last week. You guys think they were going to sleep with these men and let them live their lives after seeing their faces?

29:28 Absolutely not. And that 30 seconds missing in the jail cell, that's such a shame. And you nailed it. The biggest blunder is is what the FBI and the DOJ and Pam Bonnie did. And it's that's bad. I can at least criticize them on that. But the rest of it, it's like he has to be able to to do his damn job, but he's on the way out. Pat, I don't think it's a big deal for him. I don't think he cares. I really don't. >> You don't think he cares?

29:48 >> I think at this point he's used to it. He's tired of them. He's going to let them know this is what I'm doing cuz who's next, Pat? He's not He's not run. As much as that CNN wants to tell you he's running again, he's not going to run. This is the setup for Rubio or JD Vans. Letting them know, guys, this is what we're doing. >> But let me tell you what what he does care about. you know, he's a polls guy.

30:08 He's a guy that pay I've never seen a president that pays attention to polls the way he does. Okay? Never. So, if you if you think about what he does pay attention to, um he he is still if if midterms is a bloodbath, oh, he has to, you know, that's a very very important thing he has to pay attention to. >> But it but from from what the it's looking like it's going to be bad. >> Well, no, you can still adjust. You can still make adjustments. You still have to find ways to improve. You still have to find ways to make adjustments. You still have to find ways. He is a guy that takes pride to anything his name being attached to. He has a lot of pride behind it. A lot of pride behind it if his name's attached to it. So, no, I I do think he cares because the way listen the way these people set up America at the beginning like today I was

30:58 interviewing the founder of Palunteer. He was right here. We're sitting down having a conversation for two hours and he explains about the Supreme Court and we talk about the AI and all this stuff and I said why does why do people think Palanteers is an evil company? And he he broke it down in a very interesting way. But one of the things he said is, "Isn't it amazing how these philosophers built America, this constitution that protects us, this piece of paper, what they wrote 1776 to 1789 to America in a way where, you know, would I like the president to be able to have more decisions being made?" Of course. Would I have liked the tariffs have gone his ways? Of course.

31:39 Would I have him to be able to make a lot of executive decisions and things go his? Of course. But would I have that at the cost of somebody on the other side who's crazy to be able to come and do things that I fully disagree with? No. No. No. No. No. Let's trust the Constitution. That's why that is why we comfortably say this is why you and I wear this this right here. When we wear this and we put this on and people see this beautiful says what? >> USA. USA red, white, and blue. The flag on the side. This is why we comfortably say America's the greatest country in the world. Amen.

32:16 >> This is why right now, can you yell out what country your family is from? Okay, on three, scream out the country your family is from. 1, two, three. >> Did you hear a consistency of a country? No. I did hear Cuba, though. I can tell you somebody said Cuba over there. How many you guys are Cuba? We're in Miami. Like half the people are from Cuba. Two people are from Cuba. But you heard everything. That's what makes this the greatest country in the world. And when you become a president, I like the fact like for us, Vinnie.

32:44 >> Yes. >> You know, every quarter we do calibrations for employees. And what do they get judged on? Five things. What are the five things? Effort, attitude, teamwork, innovation, and results. >> Either what we call it, right? >> Effort, attitude, teamwork, innovation, results. We do that quarterly and we say your scores dropped and it's 0 to 10 it's all to 50. So if you're between 25 to 38 39 meets expectations 39 to 44 45 exceeds then you got you know outstanding and hey does not meet hey you need improvement.

33:21 >> The calibration we have in America is midterms and then we got elections and you better perform and and the debate of going back and forth what model would be a better model that's a whole different story. By the way, for those of you guys that also love America, let me give a quick shout out before we get this thing done. Rob, can we can we do show the that the guys that the crew create? Play this clip. I just love seeing our American flag and a merch that we have here. We got our guys are in Italy at the mumm show walking around wearing American flag material.

33:49 >> Yes. >> Go ahead, Rob. Play the clip. Go for it. >> Oh, >> you just had a minute ago, Rob. Go for it. >> If you love this country, show it. Lead with pride in the valuement USA collection. Designed for freedom thinkers. Built for everyday leaders. Red, white, blue. Purpose. Wear what you believe in. Value tamement USA. >> Go to vtamer.com. Place your order for the USA hat and the future look bright gear represent. Go to war. Confuse your peers. Any reason why you're wearing a USA hat? Yeah, because I love this country. By the way, you got two hockey teams, men and women. Okay, they win the what? They win the gold. Anybody saw how the men won the gold? How sick was that?

34:32 Right. >> Good for the ladies, good for men. Both are invited to go to the White House. >> The ladies, they have a busy schedule. >> The men, they're going to the White House to see the president. You guys saw this clip when he called him and congratulated them. Rob, do you have that clip of him speaking to those guys? >> It was a long call. It was a long call. We're not going to listen to the whole call, but Rob, if you got like a quick glimpse of it to show, he's calling him.

34:57 Congratulations. You know, they're celebrating. We cannot believe we're getting a call from the president. Go ahead, >> Rob. Not bad. >> You can pause it right there. Isn't that great? Isn't that great where you're not only proud to represent that brand and you got some of these other guys? Well, yeah. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that America is doing here right now. Then go freaking wear a different jersey.

35:27 >> Sure. >> Go wear something else. If you're not proud to represent this, put it on. Be proud of it. Okay. And for me, for tonight as we're going through this and the message that he's going to be giving and whatever spectacle they're going to try to do it, you know, you know, one thing we learned, one thing we learned is noise comes, noise goes. You have to stay tough. Uh, as this is happening, there there's a there was a message, Rob, do you have that clip that this this this video here I'm about to show you guys. It is so funny. Here's somebody a young lady goes on a campus asking students, "What did you think about the State of the Union speech last night that the president gave?" H, you understand? It hasn't happened. Do you understand what just happened? She's going asking random students, "What did

36:10 you think? What do you give the president's speech last night? State of the Union 0 to 10." Look at the way they're answering. Vinnie, have you seen this or no? Go ahead, Rob. >> College kids are telling us Trump's State of the Union didn't go so well. The only problem, it's tomorrow. Rate Trump State of the Union speech 1 out of 10. One's the worst, 10's the best. >> Negatives. And why? I think we all know a lot of reasons.

36:33 What about the State of the Union last night? 1 to 10? >> It was like a one or two. I mean, it was all over the place. >> Probably just give me a zero. >> Going to give it a one. >> And why do you say one? Um, I just I don't think he's very articulate. >> How did Trump do at the State of the Union? >> Zero. Uh, I'll be real. I didn't watch it. >> Didn't watch it. >> Like, yeah, I didn't really watch it much. I watched it for a little bit, but >> the State of the Union last night. How How was that? 1 to 10.

36:58 >> No, I was tight. I thought it was tomorrow. No, you're good. You passed the test. Good job. >> Where are you? >> That wild kids are going to college. They don't even know. They're like, "That wasn't good." >> Yeah. And then we >> I watched a little bit of it. Vinnie was terrible. And then you talk about indoctrination and then you talk about why are people hating and why do people hate Trump and why are independents thinking a certain way guys it's still unless you're following you know a lot of time a lot of people say you know oh no I don't get involved with politics no politics is involved with you I don't care even if you want to be completely oblivious and walk around like everything's fine think about it they don't they didn't see anything they just

37:33 know they've been basically trained to know he's horrible >> the lemmings are programmed >> exactly and they're like In the history of time, besides actually Hitler, has there ever been a time where people are openly going, "Oh, no, no, that guy is Hitler." All right. I've seen Jewish people say, "That guy's Hitler." Do you understand where that that happens? That that brain teddy disease, for you to call somebody that killed millions and mill gassed and burned alive and murdered that many Jews, for you to call that guy Hitler, that's why that thing spreads. And people don't even know.

38:06 They've never even seen him speak at the State of the Union. And they're like, "Yeah, he was horrible. I give him a one." That's what I'm trying to get at, Tom. All the independents, all these people, all these CNN polls, who are you polling? Who are you talking to? Trump haters? Of course, they're going to say, "He's not doing well cuz they've been told. They've been told that he's not doing well since day one. Since day one.

38:24 It's been an uphill battle. It's been an uphill battle. I'm not I'm not complaining at all." >> Adam, are you out there with us? >> Yes, sir. >> What are you thinking? >> So, number one, shout out to the men's hockey team. They visited Miami last night. The number one club in Miami is 11. They were there celebrating, popping bottles. I don't know if you saw any of the videos draped in the American flag, singing the national anthem. It was incredible. I got my man on the street there. Unfortunately, I couldn't be there at 11. I would have loved to join them there uh celebrating, but uh incredible what they did. Of course, the women, they're too busy to show up. What else do you got going on, ladies? The Olympics is done. You got you going to pretend that you're playing in

39:05 meaningless games. So, respect to the men's team. I think they're going to be here tonight. But you guys were talking about Trump, right? PBD. So, you know, the book, you've talked about this nice guys finish last. Say what you want about Trump. He's not a nice guy. Sometimes you need an a-hole to get in there and bust things up. And you know, politics is messy. I was uh interviewing all these very skilled politicians. They're bobbing and weaving my tough questions today. But politics is ugly.

39:30 But, you know, they say, you know, be careful when you wrestle with a pig. You're both going to get dirty. But the pig loves it. So you people you said one thing about the poll numbers which you're right Trump genuinely is uh concerned about his poll numbers not so much about the Dems but the independence you talked about the independence I think he had the biggest drop in independence in a long time but if I'm going to quote John Kennedy he's like if you trust the polls uh h you might as well trust Jesse Smile so who knows what's going on but Trump is going to get up there play offense tonight show patriotism and one last thing you Uh, one of the greatest gifts that Trump, unfortunately, unforced error that he gave to the Democrats were these two people that were killed by ICE. The Democrats don't want to talk about the 10, 20 million people that were

40:17 potentially led into the country, but god forbid two paid agitators show up uh and get in the way of ICE uh and they get killed that they want to harp on that. So, that was a gift to the Dems and I think the de the independent saw that. I interviewed an ICE officer today in Dallas. He's actually uh he works he was a guest of your friend I believe Tom uh Congresswoman Beth Van Dyene and she gave you a shout out you as well PBD. She says I think she's meeting with you soon. She was with an ICE officer. He you remember when someone shot at an ICE facility in Dallas. Do you remember that about a month ago or two?

40:54 >> And he goes, "Yeah, I was there. I got shot at." But uh they also interviewed there was a big press conference with the fallen angels family, the people that are responsible for doing the Lake Riley act. So they don't want to talk about the illegals that are coming in the country killing people. They want to focus on these two paid agitators uh who are getting in the way of ICE. But Trump's got an agenda. He's going to stick to it. Poll numbers be damned. He's going to do what do he's got to do to make America.

41:21 >> But Adam, I I don't I I disagree with the the phrasing of he gave them a gift. He didn't get them a gift. They were It was a setup because they were told again that ISIS Gustapo, you have Tim Wallace saying go get in their faces and go fight go and then that happens. I don't think it was a gift. I think it was set up and the Democrats got exactly what they want. They baited it. They baited it and they got exactly what they want and now they have the talking points. So that's why I wouldn't >> I'm in I'm in DC. I'm looking presidential. I'm not going to fight with you today. You know how much I love that. But I love you guys and it's great to see you.

41:50 >> Are you wearing pants? Cuz we can't tell. Okay, good. That's why he's sitting down. So, by the way, Rob, can you show the clip of Roana? This is who Roana is going to be having tonight at the State of the Union. And then Scott Jennings had a quick response to who Roana was going to have tonight at the State of the Union. Go ahead, Rob. >> I'm Congressman Roana. I'm so honored to have Haley Robson as my State of the Union guest tonight. Haley is a survivor and a mother. She was sexually abused at the age of 16 and 17 by Jeffrey Epstein.

42:28 It was horrific. And I'm so offended that today people are attacking her even though she went through some of the most horrific things imaginable for any human being. You know what I think? Instead of attacking survivors, how about we start holding the perpetrators accountable? How about we start holding the Epstein class accountable? It is only because of the courage of people like Haley that Thomas Massie and I were able to release the Epstein files. They stood in front of the Capitol. They shared and relived their trauma. They showed so much courage. They moved the nation. And my commitment is we will not quit. We will not rest until we get justice for the survivors. Haley, thank you for being with us today.

43:14 >> Thank you so much for having me. It means the world to be able to walk into a room where I know that I am respected and outspoken and I have the backing of Thomas Massie and Roana. The support means everything to survivors everywhere and we will bring the fight to DC. Thank you for having me, Roana. >> Thank you. You are inspiring the country with your courage. >> Thank you. But by the way, if I know the story correctly, she was in the documentary, the four-part documentary, and she was the one that was bringing other girls and making $200 per girl she brought. And if I'm not mistaken, she's the one in the documentary that says, "Why am I getting arrested? What did I do wrong?" And they're like, "Wait a minute. You're bringing these young high school girls over to Epstein." And if

43:58 you haven't seen a four-part documentary, you have to watch it if you've never seen it. If you can play the clip of Scott Jennings responding to Roana. Here's what Scott Jennings had to say. Go ahead, Rob. >> You heard the name there, Haley Robson. Now, Roana says she is speaking for the survivors. But is she? The files show something completely different. That Haley Robson was in fact someone who worked with Jeffrey Epstein to recruit young women to the island. According to CNN's reporting, and I'm just going to read it to you. Quote, Robson told police she remembered bringing six girls to Epstein and told authorities she was like a Heidi Flice, the Hollywood madam who ran a highclass prostitution ring.

44:39 Robson provided police with the names of some of the girls she had brought to Epstein's house. She gave the officers the cell phone numbers for four of them and told police she wanted to assist the investigation in hopes of receiving lesser charges for herself. Here's more from CBS News. Haley Robson received $200 payments each time she escorted a new masseuse to Epstein's home. According to the police reports, Robson targeted girls from the rural area outside Palm Beach where she grew up because Epstein believed they were less likely to complain to authorities. Here again, Robson likened herself to the so-called Hollywood madam Heidi Flice in an interview with Palm Beach police. and Epstein, she said, once admonished her for bringing a 23-year-old recruit to his home because she was told the younger the better. So, of all the possible people that Congressman Ro Connor could bring to the speech tonight

45:34 to highlight the Epstein issue, >> he's got a point. >> No, he he definitely has a point. I Okay, and I'm going to play devil's advocate. These girls were 15, 16, Virginia Guay Virginia, God rest her soul. Like, think about it. If you if you groom these girls and tell them they have to do it, I mean, they're at that age, 16 years old, they're making money. I know it's it's I'm not saying it's a good thing, but I think shame shame on Roana for using them as a political tool because that's what it is, Pat. This Epstein stuff has been going on forever now again because it makes Trump look bad. They're bringing this up. You know, if he was a real Listen, if he's the real deal, you work in Congress. You work for the United States government.

46:12 Why don't you promise these girls, all these survivors, promise them protection and name the names. All right? YOU'RE GOING TO BE PROTECTED. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SUICIDE YOURSELF. WE'RE GOING TO PROTECT YOU. Bring down the house. Tom, you know the saying I always say, let justice be done till the heavens fall. Bring them down. As you guys see in the United States, all we're seeing right now is this CEO stepping down. This guy's retiring. this guy, no arrest. Nobody's going to jail. But in the UK, they're actually putting these people, they're arresting him. They're putting him in prison. The the Norwegian guy just one of them just committed suicide and he's all over the Epstein list. And then the the Norway son or the prince, I don't want to misstate Rob. I I think I think it's the it's a younger

46:52 blondhaired kid. He just went to prison for raping four girls. >> I I forgot his name. So, there's things happening. But if Roana and the And I get it, Thomas Massie, they're all they're all for America. They're all for these people. Grant them protection that you have the power to give. All right? And then name the names or else this thing's going to keep dragging on forever. And they have the power to do it. >> You know what I find is worried about this? I wonder if Roana knew her background or if one of his people, his aid says, "Hey, we got one of the victims to go with you. We're going to do this." And then today after seeing all of this and seeing Scott Jennings and other people, I'm kind of wondering why is Roana doubling down and taking her because Pat politicians get photographed with the wrong people all

47:34 the time. People come to a fundraiser, all of a sudden you realize, hey, do you know you were uh you were at a fundraiser and you were um that was one of uh you know those financial fraud guys. You had a picture with them. I just took pictures with 60 people at a fundraiser. I didn't know. And that's the truth. That'll be the truth. But Ro Connor gets out there, says all this stuff, and then all of this stuff gets exposed about what this girl, not once, but twice said, "I'm like Heidi Fleece." She's making the act of We were in LA.

48:02 We know exactly who Heidi Fice is. If everybody else in America didn't know how what an amazing outofc control story that was. And she said that twice. So, if Roana knew that and was going to take her to the State of the Union, what's he thinking? But if he didn't know that and now he finds it out afterwards, why are you doubling down? Why aren't you backing off and saying, "I support the victims. Uh, I gave a statement yesterday and it turns out this person was involved in other ways. She's not my guest." I just I'm shocked he's doubling down. She's going to be there.

48:34 >> Well, I mean, look, I mean, the reality is him and Thomas Massie have gotten very close uh over the last 12 months. Thomas Massie. One report said that uh two GOP house members were going to be sitting uh uh uh joining the Dems at the State of the Union. This is from who, Rob? Which paper is this? >> This is uh >> Axios that's saying that. And then Thomas Massion X. There's a picture showing that he's going to be sitting with them, but that's from AP post that they got it wrong. And then Massie said, "This is my view tonight at the State of the Union from the Republican side of the aisle." So, he cleared up all the noise that's being made of where he's going to be sitting, which is good for Mass Eie for doing so, so the audience knows. By the way, the the president was asked about his State of the Union as

49:17 we're getting closer to this. Rob, I'm sure you're watching it when it comes live. Give us an update on that. But here's the president. Uh uh uh I think it was on Jesse Waters. Jesse made a comment about what the president told him once, which I thought it was very interesting. Rob, if you have that, play the clip of what the president said to Jesse once about when you get a chance to speak at the State of the Union. Yeah, right there, Rob. Go for it. I interviewed him after he gave the RNC speech and I said, "Mr. President, that was a long speech." And he said, "Jesse, when the networks give you the time, you take the time. So, he's going to take all the time he needs." And he deserves a lot of time because you agree I'm the most objective person on this table, right? Okay. Objectively, Dana, this has been one of the best first years in the

50:05 history of the presidency. Rates, rent, crime, crossings, all down. He got handed 3.0 inflation, got it down to 2.4% with the tariffs, and that's because he kept energy prices low. He's going to try to press his advantage with the Democrats because he's going to announce things that no one can sit down and not clap. He's going to announce all of these great metric like baby bonuses. He's getting $1,000 for a new baby. How are Democrats going to sit there and not clap at that? He's going to announce Maduro's capture. He might bring Maduro out in handcuffs and say, "Yeah, I got him." How are Democrats not going to clap? So, that's going to be the big tonight. But then he has to lay out a very ambitious agenda. What's he going to do next? What is it going to be? It might be a surprise. It might be voter

50:57 ID, but he's got to make sure the House and the Senate keep pushing the agenda forward, we could see some surprises. And then he's got the midterms. And so he's got to frame it. The Democrats, if you give them power, if you have the Republicans keep control, what's the difference? And we saw the difference. The Democrats were just in power and they blew it. So we can't go back to that. He's got to push the agenda forward. And then finally, you mentioned it, Kellyanne. This is America's 250th birthday and how fortunate it is for the president to be president during the 250 year birthday. So you'll hear a lot of themes of patriotism of American exceptionalism and he'll have some personal stories where we can talk about heroism and you'll see the hockey guys out there and everybody will be clapping for the hockey guys. The hockey guys

51:45 might not even know what's going on because they're just a wee bit hung over. But if we can just keep this momentum going, I know you're not going to change things right away, still kind of hung over from bidenomics, but if he could just make sure the country understands where we were and where we're going, I think we'll be in a pretty good place to restore the American dream. What do you think? >> He actually he actually made me made me think about that moment of the surprises where people aren't going to be standing up like to to see how despicable they are. Remember the DJ uh what was his name? DJ Daniel, the 13-year-old black kid that was a cancer survivor. They made him an honorary secret service agent.

52:20 >> And guess what? >> PEOPLE WERE SITTING DOWN. >> EVERYBODY I'M CRYING. EVERYBODY'S CRYING. Every Democrat just sat there, didn't clap, and didn't give. That just shows you the disdain and the hate. I'm very curious to see what what what he's going to do, bro. He could save puppies from like a burning building. People would be like a kid. >> Yeah. Look, >> all the Democrats are sitting down. >> Do you remember that moment, Matt?

52:42 >> Of course. >> Of course. >> All sitting. All still sitting down. Yeah. But listen, can can I share some good news with you guys? Some people, you know, we need some good news. Rob, go ahead and play this clip. We want some good news for everybody here. Go forward Rob. >> Okay. >> Will you run again? >> I haven't decided. >> You're still thinking about it. >> I might. >> Yeah.

53:07 >> Do it. >> That's what I've been saying. That's what I I closed the book and I'm like, "Oh, she wants to. She's just thinking about it. About it." if that that was my impression. I don't know if that's what you intended, but that was my impression. >> No, the book is about a specific period in time. There was no agenda beyond what we've discussed already, which is just sharing with people. Um, you know, the reality of >> Okay, we can stop. I can't >> You can pause it right right there. But can you can you guys imagine her running again for 2028?

53:44 >> Yeah. Well, you know, I think it's the other way to me. It's like, please. Yes. Like I trust me, you would like to see that happen. Did you guys see what Newsome said the other day about Kla Harris? >> Oh, yeah. >> Did you? Yeah. Yeah. You have that clip, Rob? >> Oh, this is >> where he said, "I don't think anybody's going to understand what he was saying except for him and Kamla. I don't think anybody and probably some of the people in the state of California probably know this. And by the way, we won't even explain to you what this means if you don't get it. We're going to kind of skip to the next story, but maybe play this clip here, Rob, just for a split.

54:18 It's a short clip. Go ahead, Tom. And no, Tom. No inappropriate comments from you today. I don't make no inappropriate comments in people who've spoken. Go ahead, Tom. Go ahead, Rob. Rob. Rob. Tom's going to do it no matter what. You can't hold him. That's why I'm speaking over him. Play the clip. And uh and and and for those that don't know Willie Brown, you wouldn't know Kla Harris >> without Willie Brown. >> Damn.

54:42 >> Um look at the way >> and I both got elected the same. >> But no, play one more time. You didn't see this video. Play one more time. >> And uh and and and for those that don't know Willie Brown, >> look at the pause. >> You wouldn't know Kla Harris >> without Willie Brown. >> See how emotional he gets. >> See, I'm not talking. I was able to be quiet. >> You know, Willie Brown was that hung on.

55:04 You damn right. >> But let me tell you, you know what he's doing? You know what he's doing? Do you know what that message is right there? >> What do you think that is? That message is if you walk across the line, I'm going to drop the mess around. >> That's exactly what that is. It's like, you know, you wouldn't know Kla Harris without Willie Brown. >> And he knows Kamla's going to see that video and she's going to be like, "Oh, I know what he's going to do." And he's going to bring and then what's so it's going to get Anyways, the good news is she's thinking about running. Kamla, if you're watching, I hope you do. There is a person I would like to see run even more than Kamla Harris. But listen, I have big dreams. I'm I have very very

55:38 big dreams. If in my if I if in 2028 if Katie Porter runs, I will be the happiest person alive. Katie Porter is our favorite. You know, it's going to be it's going to be Harris 28 true drink minimum. >> Yeah. So, this is the part where he hasn't walked in yet. Bro, where are we at as of right now? >> Face is big. >> Correct. Has he started shaking hands or not yet? >> No, I don't believe he's entered the chambers yet. >> So, this is like when the sergeant in-arms, ladies and gentlemen, can we hear it?

56:09 >> Oh, there we go. >> By the way, if anybody here wants to go get a drink, you may want to do it now because once it goes >> Yeah. >> you know, you may want to, you know, stay focused and locked in. >> So, you got a couple minutes to get yourself a drink. >> 9 minutes to get to the stage. Yeah, everybody. My god, everybody drinks. >> Mr. Speaker, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. >> All right. So, he's in the house. Let's look at his face. See how he looks.

56:40 >> John Tune, Biola University, right behind him there. >> See his face? What's he looking like? >> I just want to see face. >> Show me face. >> I spray chilling. >> But you know what it is. You can you can uh mute it, Rob. To me, you you know you know you don't pause it. Just mute it, Rob. Let it keep going. Yeah, there you go. To me uh uh if you can press the button so it's live, Rob, like go straight to Yeah, there you go. Thank you.

57:09 >> So if you think about guys, if we can keep it down, guys, because fellas, fellas, Roberto, Roberto, talk in the back. Not here, buddy. My god. Roberto, this is why he's successful in life. He makes sales. No matter where he goes, he's prospecting, meeting people. No, but uh uh but to me, you you know what I love about this guy? In my opinion, I think he's looking for this. >> I think he can't wait for it. I think he can't wait for it because what is the story in in the in the area of 50 of the most impossible, most difficult things he's overcame in his life, where do you think this ranks >> or in his life?

57:48 >> In his life. >> This has to be number 49. >> No way. >> Oh, no. Wait, no. No. You mean this event? He's overcame in his life. Where does this rank me? >> In his life, where does this rank? >> You said top 50, I said 49. >> That's the point. I I I don't think it's a, you know, I don't think it's coming back. Mugsh shot, you know, the Marlago is worth 18 million trying to deplete all his cash. Ein Carroll, you know, you got Kieran McDougall, all this stuff.

58:14 This ranks nowhere. He is looking forward to delivering the message. And I have a feeling in his own unique way he's gonna give the middle finger. Adam, I'm coming to you Adam up there. What are you thinking? What do you what what predictions can you give >> about how he's going to be doing tonight? Is there any surprises you think he's going to give? Did anybody in there when you're talking to them whisper to you, he may announce this tonight? He may announce X to you tonight? Did anybody say anything to you?

58:42 >> You know, it's funny that you asked that because everybody has opinions on Trump and they're going to obviously side with him. And I said, "What do you think is going to happen tonight?" Nobody knows. That's the beautiful thing about what's going on here tonight is Trump announces everything. You know, he's not the type of guy that you want to keep a secret from or or with. But no, I asked her, "What are your what are your predictions for tonight?" Nobody has an idea. Do you think that Trump has an uh something up his sleeve, an ace card? Of course. Is he going to bring out women? Is he going to give out money? Who knows what's going to happen here? Uh it remains to be seen. But I just want to circle back on one thing. You guys were talking about Epstein. You know, you know who Jamie Rascin is? Remember that guy?

59:21 >> Of course. Yeah. >> Okay. The amount of political theater that I'm seeing here, you know, the rotunda where everyone's hanging out, all the legacy media is there. >> Jamie Raskin is there with his stand with the victims, release the files like slogan on his shirt. And one of the uh news reporter goes, "Uh uh, Congressman Raskin, uh, you've had five years to address this. Why now?" He's like, "Oh, you know, check my record." But it's complete political theater, and I've seen it for myself. The the the fakeness, the inauthenticity that's going on here, you know, maybe Vinnie and I will come here and do a skit next time, but it it's absolutely ridiculous.

59:58 It's it's they've got nothing to run on. So, it's kind of like Trump bad, Epstein worse, we love illegals. That kind that seems to be the the similar theme here. What's going on in the Democratic party, unfortunately. And it's funny when you're saying this, everything about illegals. Rob, can you play that clip today from AOC and Oh, she's already up there or he's about to wake his way up. Yeah, go to the AOC clip, Rob. I think we have about 2 minutes left. Uh when you're doing that, here's AOC and Mandani Rob before because they're going to speak in Spanish. Let me read the tweet first right above it and then we'll go right to it. Zoom in a little bit. This is from Mario Nefal. Mandani and Noocc released a Spanish language ad telling illegal immigrants to sign up for free child care in New York City. Working

1:00:44 American parents can't afford child care for their own kids, but sure, let's subsidize it for non-citizens first. Go ahead Rob. Vinnie loves mommy smile. You don't feel the genuiness. Fake smile. Look at that sincerity. Look at it. And when he stops his smile. Look. Look at his face when he stops it. Look. Boom. Serious. Tires. I can translate. To make a martini shake slowly, add the vermouth with caution. >> And just really really fast. I know you're about to go. Do you understand what that's saying? Part of that was if you don't belong in the country, come to New York and your kids will have free child care from the government taxpayer.

1:01:41 >> Are you kid like And Americans are cool. Well, not us, the New Yorkers. >> All right, let's hear it, Rob. It looks like the presidents made it to the >> Let's go. >> That was not a 30-minute walk. That was more like 7 minutes. >> That was quick. >> On average is 30 minutes, but he did it 7 minutes. >> He wants to grab the mic. >> Let's get right into it. >> Dinner plans afterwards.

1:02:00 >> Yep. Mhm. >> Well, thank you very much. >> Here we go, folks. Let's grab seats. >> An honor. Speaker Johnson, Vice President Vance, First Lady of the United States.

1:02:36 Second Lady of the United States. Members of Congress and my fellow Americans, our nation is back. Bigger, better, richer, and stronger than ever before. >> Is Supreme Court there or no? I don't see them. Oh, they are. Yes. >> Not all of them. >> Look at the role right there to right. >> From now, our country will celebrate an epic milestone in American history. 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 of the earth. And you've seen nothing yet. We're going to do better and better and better. This is the golden age of America.

1:04:02 Marco best. When I last spoke in this chamber 12 months ago, I had just inherited a nation in crisis with a stagnant economy, inflation at record levels, a wide open border, horrendous recruitment for military and police, rampid crime at home, and wars and chaos all over the world. 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.

1:05:06 And we will never go back to where we were just a very short time ago. We're not going back. >> Today, our border is secure. USA. >> Thank you. Today, our border is secure. Our spirit is restored. Inflation is plummeting. Incomes are rising fast. The roaring economy is roaring like never before. And our enemies are scared. Our military and police are stacked. And America is respected again, perhaps like never before.

1:06:05 After four years in which millions and millions of illegal aliens poured across our borders totally unvetted and unchecked, we now have the strongest and most secure border in American history by far.

1:06:31 In the past nine months, zero illegal aliens have been admitted to the United States. >> Zero. Bingo. Zero. But we will always allow people to come in legally, people that will love our country and will work hard to maintain our country.

1:07:10 The flow of deadly fentinol across our border is down by a record 56% in one year. 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. Year 1900. In fact, substantially before my wonderful father, I had a wonderful father, Fred, 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. 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%.

1:08:29 >> Rob, which account are you on that's showing this? Is this the White House or C-SPAN? >> The White House. >> Okay, then that's why they're adding the stats to the right. >> Over $6 a gallon in some states. >> Interesting. Under my predecessor, it was quite honestly a disaster. Is now below $2.30 a gallon in most states and in some places $1.99 a gallon. And when I visited the great state of Iowa just a few weeks ago, I even saw $185 a gallon for gasoline.

1:09:13 Mortgage rates are the lowest in four years and falling fast. And the annual cost of a typical new mortgage is down almost $5,000 just since I took office. one year and low interest rates will solve the Biden created housing problem while at the same time protecting the values of those people who already own a house that really feel rich for the first time in their lives. We want to protect those values who want to keep those values up. We're going to do both and we are going to keep it that way. The stock market has set 53 all-time record highs since the election. Think of that. One year, boosting pensions, 401ks, and retirement accounts for the millions and millions of Americans.

1:10:08 They're all gaining. Everybody's up, way up. In four log years, the last administration got less than $1 trillion in new investment in the United States. And when I say less, substantially less. In 12 months, I secured commitments for more than 18 trillion dollars pouring in from all over the globe.

1:10:39 Think of it. Much less than $1 trillion for four years versus much more than $18 trillion for one year. What a difference a president makes. A short time ago, we were a dead country. Now, we are the hottest country anywhere in the world. The hottest. The hottest. >> We are. I mean, he's not lying. The hottest. As thousands of new businesses 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.

1:11:27 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. our new friends.

1:11:54 American natural gas production is at an all-time high because I kept my promise to drill, baby, drill. >> He's going through greatest hits. Mhm. More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country. Think about that. Any time in the history of our country, more working today. And 100% of all jobs created under my administration have been in the private sector.

1:12:41 I love when he steps back. >> We ended dei in America. We cut a record number of job killing regulations. And in one year, we have lifted 2.4 4 million Americans a record off of food stamps. >> Oh, look at them staring down the Democrats. >> How many off of food stamps? >> 1 million. >> How much? >> Two. I thought >> And for all of these reasons I say tonight, members of Congress, the state of our union is strong. >> Yes.

1:13:31 >> Yeah. Amy Comey Barrett's there. No, I see to judge it. >> Yeah, they're there. >> I hope he says something about the terrorists. 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, "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 with just always losing. But now we're winning too much. And I say, "No, no, no. You're going to win again.

1:14:12 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. The men's gold medal Olympic hockey team. Come on in. >> LET'S GO, BABY. WOO! >> THEY'RE WALKING OUT. >> AWESOME. LET'S GO. >> OKAY, >> GANGSTER. >> They're walking out. >> He loves sports, man. He loves sports.

1:14:44 >> Yeah. >> Look at that, bro. That's what I'm talking about. Let's go, bro. He loves sports. >> By the way, that's the mainstream media with their laptops not clapping. >> Yeah. That's media,

1:15:11 >> dude. That's so awesome. >> If you were up there and they're not clapping, would you be tempted like to hip check one of the reporters? Tom, >> we were down there. I think I stole gum out of Hakeim Jeffy's desk. >> It was under it. >> Go ahead. Thank you. >> Thank you.

1:15:50 USA USA USA USA USA USA USA. >> That's the first time I've ever seen them get up. And actually, not all of them did get up. They beat a fantastic Canadian team in overtime as everybody saw as did the American women who will soon be coming to the White House. >> Good. >> Oh, they're in the crowd. >> Good. >> Yeah. >> Good. >> They were busy.

1:16:42 >> At this pace, he's going to beat Bill Clinton's record. >> Yeah. Seven minutes. She's just celebrating hockey. >> I >> you know this is going to break the record. >> Where the curling? Did we win curling? >> They were in the over. >> And I just want to say the Canadian that gave it the finger. 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 because I'd never seen a goalender play as well as goalie Connor Halabuk.

1:17:33 >> He is so funny. >> That's a tender right there at the beard. Ah, you see that? >> Yeah. >> Think of it. 46 shots on gold. And I asked him the one shot, the one where you put your stick in the back and it hit the neck of your stick and bounced off. Do you practice that or was that a little lucky? He refused to answer that question. 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 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. It's called the highest civilian honor in our country. The Presidential Medal of Freedom, >> bro.

1:18:48 He just I got an MVP award. I got a fresh medal of freedom. >> There's only 12 guys got it. >> You know what's crazy? You know what Chris said? What's even greater? The NHL season starts tomorrow. >> Wow. >> Yeah. They're doing this, getting drunk, doing this. By the way, it's about 11 12 minutes just on hockey. >> He loves this. He could go athletes have gotten that very great, the best 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.

1:19:19 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. >> 15 minutes on the on the hockey team. Look at those mainstream reporters. >> It's like they're all constipated. Look, even the generals. The generals. Look, I'm also pleased to say that the next time the Olympic torch is lit, it will be here in America for the 2028 Olympics. And it's the summer version right in Los Angeles. We're going to do a good job in Los Angeles.

1:20:05 He has a job at Newsome. Come on. And Los Angeles is going to be safe just like Washington DC is now one of the safest cities in the country. I like that transition. >> And this year, and I must say, I got them both. I got him 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 them because I got the Olympics and I got the 2026 FIFA World Cup and I wanted to claim the 250th, but I didn't get away with that one. And 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.

1:21:15 So, this will be a year to celebrate our country and the heroes who have kept it free. Men like Buddy Tagert at age 17. But he volunteered to defend America in World War II, serving in the Pacific under the great General Douglas MacArthur. 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 anywhere in the world. But he 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 July 4th, 2026, his 100th birthday.

1:22:13 >> World War II veterans going to be a hundred on July 4th. Wow. 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 shown through very brightly. It was July 4th of last year when floodwaters tore through a girl summer camp in central Texas. One of the worst things I've ever seen. I was there rising 26 feet in the matter of minutes, tragically claiming many, many lives. You all remember that one. As the waters threatened to sweep her away, 11-year-old Millie Kate Mlan 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.

1:23:37 It was Scott's first ever rescue mission. Young guy, but very brave, very, very top. always top in his class. And he lifted not just Billy Kate, but 164 others to safety. >> So far, he looks the most comfortable, loose, as if nothing is bothering him.

1:24:15 for >> Oh my god. People 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's ever seen anything like it. They said, "Wow, that's something." Tonight, Scott and Millie Kate are here together, reunited for the very first time. Thank you, Scott, Millie Kate.

1:25:08 badass. >> 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.

1:25:31 Wow. And I'd like to have the military aid to please come down and take care of the service. Military aid. Thank you very much. Take care of that very important service. 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. where government answers to the people, not the powerful, and where the interests of hardworking American citizens are always our first and ultimate concern.

1:26:26 That is the debt we owe to the heroes who came before us, and that is the promise we must keep to America for our 250th year. 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.

1:27:05 All Democrats, every single one of them voted against these really important and very necessary massive tax cuts. Boom. They wanted largescale 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, and no tax on social security for our great senior.

1:27:56 And we also made interest on auto loans tax deductible the first time but only if the car is made in America. >> Oh, I love that mean mug. Recently in Pennsylvania, I met Megan Hemhouser, a devoted mom whose homeschools her children, beautiful, two children, during the day while waiting tables at night as her husband works overtime operating very heavy equipment. 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 her 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.

1:29:06 Megan, please stand up. We're fighting for you, Megan. 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. And I didn't name it. I did not name it. I did not name that. >> I didn't name him. >> Nobody believes me, but I did not name it. It was named by a very tall man, didn't he? Right there in the third row. >> Nice man, a good man. Tax-free investment accounts for every American child. This is something that's so special and has taken off and gone through the roof. Millions will be preunded courtesy of the US Treasury and private individuals like Michael and Susan Dell who have donated 6 bill250 million to fund the Trump accounts for 25 million American children.

1:30:14 They're great people. Great people. You know, I asked Michael Dell, "How do you make all that money?" He said, "Well, I just sat on my dorm 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. So, I congratulate him on that. But I really thank him and Susan as well as others like Brad Gersonner, a very tremendous guy. He was behind it right from the beginning. Brad Gersonner. Thank you, Brad.

1:31:12 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 over a h 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. That's setting every record in the book. It's popular. They knew what was going to what it was going to take. I'm so proud of them. I'm so proud of the people that got it started. And now it's just taken off. One of the primary reasons for our country's stunning economic turnaround.

1:31:54 The biggest in history where the Dow Jones broke 50,000 four years ahead of schedule and the S&P hit 7,000 where it wasn't supposed to do it for many years. were tariffs. I used these tariffs, took in 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. Even the Democrats know it. They just don't want to say it. And yet these countries are now happy and so are we. We made deals.

1:32:39 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. And then just four days ago, an unfortunate ruling from the United States Supreme Court. It just came down. It came down. Very unfortunate ruling. >> Yeah. Look, look, look, that's what they applaud for.

1:33:13 >> 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. So despite the disappointing ruling these 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 them without will remain in place under fully approved and tested alternative legal statutes and 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

1:34:15 before. Congressional action will not be necessary. It's already time-t tested and approved. And as time goes by, I believe the tariffs paid for by foreign countries will, like in the past, substantially replace the modern-day system of income tax, taking a great financial burden off the people that I love.

1:34:43 >> Is that Supreme Court to the left of Marco Rubio? >> Uh, to the right. >> To the to the left. >> To his left. Yeah. >> To his left. forward. Factories, jobs, investment, and trillions and trillions of dollars will continue pouring into the United States of America because we finally have a president who puts America first. Put America first. I love America. I love He's looking at the Dems.

1:35:16 For decades before I came along, we had the exact opposite. From trade to health care, 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. They were murderers. 11,888 murders. They came into our country. You allowed that to happen.

1:35:58 >> 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 all of our citizens had to endure. You caused that problem. You caused that problem. I love it.

1:36:46 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. Our policies are rapidly ending them. We are doing really well. Those prices are plummeting downward.

1:37:12 The price of eggs 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, which was very high, is starting to come down significantly. Just hold on a little while. We're getting it down. And soon you will see numbers that few people would think were possible to achieve just a short time ago. 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 ripoffs of our times, the crushing costs of health care caused by you. Since the passage of the unaffordable care act, sometimes referred to as Obamacare, big insurance companies have gotten rich. It was meant for the insurance companies, not for the

1:38:14 people. with our government giving them hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars a year as their stock prices soared 1,1200,400 and even 1,700% like nothing else. That's why I introduced the great health care plan. I want to stop all payments to big insurance companies and instead give that money directly to the people so they can buy their own health care which will be better healthcare at a much lower cost. >> By the way, online is saying the mic. You see how it pops the audio? >> That that's the mic issue. They're saying there's something going on with the mic.

1:38:59 >> Somebody's messing with it. They're saying that >> in addition, my plan requires maximum >> still transparency. That's a big deal. >> Sounds so simple. So big. And I did that in my first term and the Democrats immediately terminated it with full knowledge that they were doing a very bad thing for the people. Cost, we're going to go way up and that's what happened. And now I'm bringing them way down on healthcare and everything else.

1:39:27 I'm also ending the wildly inflated cost of prescription drugs like has never happened before. Other presidents tried to do it, 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. 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. Anywhere. The lowest price.

1:40:28 So in my first year of the second term, should be in my third term, but strange things happened. I took prescription drugs, >> a very big part of healthare from the highest price in the entire world to the lowest. That's a big achievement. 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 name that one either, by the way.

1:41:11 And here tonight is the very first customer ever to get that big discount. And it is big. Katherine Rener. For five years, she and her husband have struggled with infertility, and they turned to IVF. One drug has been costing Katherine $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 than $3,500. Katherine, we are all praying for you and you're going to be a great mom, a great

1:42:05 >> She can't even keep a straight face. She wants to This man's a comedian. Yeah. >> So now I'm calling on Congress to codify my most favorite 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. 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

1:43:01 factory 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. 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. 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 homeownership.

1:43:46 With us tonight is Ree 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.

1:44:27 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. Reel, thank you very much. Good luck with your home. You'll get one soon.

1:44:53 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. We will always protect Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. Since I took office, the typical 401k balance is up by at least $30,000. That's a lot of money. We have millions and millions of people because the stock market has done so well setting all those records. Your 401ks 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 oft forgotten American workers, great people, the people that built our country, access to the same type of retirement plan offered to every federal worker. We will match your contribution

1:46:00 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.

1:46:25 You heard what he just said. You know who he's talking about. >> Members of Congress cannot use the information for insider trading. >> Nancy Pelosi. >> Nancy Pelosi >> and Debbie Washerman Schultz in a pink right there in that row. >> He stood up. Didn't stand up. >> I can't believe it. >> I can't believe it. >> I can't believe it. Did Nancy Pelosi stand up? >> Doubt it.

1:46:50 >> Pass the Stop Insider Trading Act without delay. from the top rope. >> This man is a comedian. >> Stop. It's like Oh, he's >> I wasn't sure if anybody even on this side was going to applaud for that. I was I'm very impressed. Thank you. I'm very impressed. But when it comes to the corruption that is plundering, really, it's plundering America. There's been no more stunning example than Minnesota, where members of the Somali community have pillaged an estimated 19 billion dollars from the American taxpayer. Oh, we have all the information. And in actuality, the number is much higher than that. And California, Massachusetts, Maine, and many other states are even worse. This is the kind of corruption that shreds the fabric of a nation. We are on it like you wouldn't believe.

1:47:52 >> So tonight, although >> started four months ago, I am officially announcing the war on fraud to be led by our great vice president. >> He's about to get a shout out right now. Can you imagine if he does that? >> You know, he just bypassed, >> huh? >> He just said Vance will lead the charge on these >> of what? on the fraud because Vance needs a victory. >> Rubio has been winning non-stop. He's >> got it done.

1:48:25 >> We're able to find enough of that fraud for the audience. >> We will actually have a balanced budget overnight. It'll go very quickly. That's the kind of money you're talking about. We'll balance our budget. The Somali pirates who ransacked Minnesota remind us that there are large parts of the world and lawlessness are the norm, not the exception. >> It's not us. >> Importing these through unrestricted immigration and open borders brings us problems right here in the USA. And it is the American people who pay the price in higher medical bills, car insurance rates, rent, taxes, and perhaps most importantly, crime. We will take care of this problem. We're going to take care of this problem. We are not playing games. Delila.

1:49:17 Yeah. There's no way that's that's that's not on purpose. Delilah Coleman was only five years old in June 2024 when a 18-wheel tractor trailer plowed into her stopped car traveling at 60 miles an hour or more. The driver was an illegal alien led in by Joe Biden and given a commercial driver's license by open borders politicians in California. Doctors said Delila 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.

1:50:10 A fantastic man. Delilah, please. You are a great inspiration. Please stand up. Thank you, Dila. Many, if not most, illegal aliens do not speak 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.

1:51:22 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. These are the angel moms and families that for decades our government betrayed and our media totally ignored. Totally. It was terrible. Hard to believe, actually. In 2023, a 16-year-old high school cheerleader named Elizabeth Medina was supposed to perform in her town's Christmas parade, but she never arrived.

1:52:02 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. >> Elizabeth Beth'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 violently and viciously. Her heartbroken mother is in the gallery to remind everyone in this chamber exactly why we are deporting illegal alien criminals for our country at record numbers and we're getting them the hell out of here fast. We don't want them.

1:52:52 >> Rob, what's timeline right now? 60 minutes. Is that the exact time of him starting? Yeah, because he started a few minutes after 9:00. >> Thank you very much, Jacqueline. 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 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. Thank you.

1:53:53 As we speak, Democrats in this chamber have cut off all funding for the Department of Homeland Security. It's all cut off. It's all cut off. They have instituted another Democrat shutdown. The first one costing us two points on GDP. Two points we lost on GDP, which probably made them quite happy actually. Now they have closed the agency responsible for protecting Americans from terrorists and murderers. Tonight I'm demanding the full and immediate restoration of all funding for the border security, homeland security of the United States and also for helping people clean up their snow. We have no money because of the Democrats. And it would be nice. We'd love to give you a hand at cleaning it up, but you gave no money. Nobody's getting paid. It's a shame. So, you have to think about it.

1:54:48 We have, in case you didn't know, pretty large snowstorm out there. 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. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens. >> Stand up.

1:55:24 >> Just watch. He's going to watch everybody. Look at the right side. >> Look at the right side. >> Yeah, they're sitting. >> They're looking around to see if their peers are standing up.

1:55:42 Who's the pink shirt to the left? Is she a Republican or a Democrat? >> She's been standing up all night. Yeah, it's good exercise. >> I respect it cuz she's not taking the shot. >> Vic, am I saying something wrong? It's good. We support exercise. >> Look at how many Democrats are sitting down that are for illegals. >> That's a That's a message right there. >> Wow. That clip >> that clip says it all.

1:56:20 >> 100%. Illegals first. Look at Marco. Look at Marco looking around. Yeah. Look. Keep looking. >> So, he's going to remember and take notes. >> They're intentionally. This is This is for midterms. This is for the American people. This is to show America. Hey, he they they collectively were on the same page on the saying stay for 2 minutes. >> Yes. >> Look how all of them are still up. He knows what he's doing here. >> Hakeim Jeff.

1:56:46 >> Oh my god. This is a campaign that video that you're going to see everywhere. America, do you want this? >> This is what the Look at the cameras catching it. This is all footage. He knows what he's doing. Watch this in mid turns. This clip here. still doing different angles. They get different angles for this clip. >> Oh my god. One by one, they're going to put names on top of their faces. >> Isn't that a shame? You should be ashamed of yourself not standing up. You should be ashamed of yourself.

1:57:20 That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect somebody and enact serious penalties for public officials who block removal of criminal aliens. 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 yourself. >> I love it. He talked right through it. Good. Look at her. Well, by the way, first of all, at the beginning of it, they moved Al Green out because he said black people are not apes. He had a sign out.

1:57:57 >> Yes. >> So, back to back, he got escorted and State of the Union last year and this year >> with his cane. He had a cane with him. You know that knife? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> It's quality cane. >> Big daddy. >> Big Daddy can. And perhaps most importantly, I'm asking you to approve the Save America Act

1:58:27 >> to 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. It's very simple. All voters must show voter ID. >> Yes. Hear them booing. >> Are they? >> Yeah, they're booing. That's their vote. That's That's how they freaking get their votes. That says everything you need to know about these people. That's it right there.

1:59:02 All voters must show proof of citizenship in order to vote. >> Yep. But married women >> and no more crooked mailin ballots except for illness, disability, military or travel. None. And this should be an easy one. And by the way, it's polling at 89% including Democrats. 89%

1:59:43 And even the new communist mayor of New York City, I think he's a nice guy actually. Speak to him a lot. >> Bad policy, but nice guy. Just said they want people to shovel snow. They got hit hard. >> Here he goes. >> Wants him to shovel snow. But if you apply for that job, you need to show two original forms of ID and a social security card. Yet they don't want identification for the greatest privilege of them all, voting in America. No, it's no good. No good. Both Republicans and Democrats overwhelmingly agree on the policy that we just enunciated. And Congress should unite and enact this common sense country legislation right now. And it should be before anything else happens.

2:00:44 Look at Look at that. Who's the Indian guy? Who's the Indian guy at the bottom next to the girl with the white? That guy's hilarious. >> You wanted to impeach Trump. >> Indian guy. >> The reason they don't want to do it. >> Why would anybody not want voter ID? One reason? Because they want to cheat. There's only one reason. They make up all excuses. They say it's racist. They come up with things. You almost say, "What imagination?" They have. They want to cheat. They have cheated. And their policy is so bad that the only way they can get elected is to cheat. And we're going to stop it. We have to stop it. John, >> listen to the mic. Do the >> How purposeful is that? just eat unless it's the worst audio guy in the history of Washington. And here is one more

2:01:35 opportunity to show common sense in government. >> In the gallery tonight are 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. A leftwing judge refused to return Sage to her parents because they did not immediately state that their daughter was their son.

2:02:19 >> Oh my god. >> Sage was thrown into an all boys state home and suffered terribly for a long time. But today, all of that is behind them because Sage is a proud and wonderful young woman with a full ride scholarship to Liberty University. >> Sage and Michelle, please stand up. >> Oh, good for her. >> Is that her clap?

2:03:01 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 was up here and said that, they say, "What's wrong with him?" But now we have to say it because it's going on all over numerous states without even telling the parents. >> Geez. But surely we can all agree no state can be allowed to rip children from their parents' arms and transition them to a new gender against the parents will. Who would believe that we're even talking about? We must ban it. And we must ban it immediately.

2:03:46 Look, nobody stands up. These people are crazy. I'm telling you, they're crazy. >> They're crazy. >> He go They don't stand up. They're crazy. >> He's right, though. He's right. >> He's 100% right. >> Boy, oh boy. We're lucky we have a country with people like this. Democrats are destroying our country, but we've stopped it just in the nick of time, didn't we?

2:04:14 >> Yes. Yes. Good. Good. No one cares 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 have believed that? Over the past year, she has had an incredible impact championing AI legislation, advancing a landmark executive order on foster care, and helping secure $30 million to launch the Melania Trump foster youth to independence initiative. 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.

2:05:08 Someday you're going to 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 position 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 Neveront. Thank you both. And Melania, thank you. I know how hard you worked on it. Thank you very much.

2:06:05 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. >> Amen. >> Tremendous renewal.

2:06:34 This is especially true among young people. And a big part of that had to do with my great friend Charlie Kirk. Great guy, great leader. So last year Charlie was violently murdered by an assassin and martyed really martyed for his beliefs. His wonderful wife Erica is with us tonight. Erica, please stand.

2:07:28 Thank you, Erica. 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.

2:07:55 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. We have made incredible strides, yet dangerous repeat offenders continue to be released by pro-rime Democrat politicians again and again. We are honored to be joined tonight by a woman who's been through hell, Ana Zurka. In 2022, she and her beautiful daughter, so beautiful. What a beautiful young woman. Ireina fled warr Ukraine to live with relatives near Charlotte, North Carolina. And by the way, what's going on with Charlotte?

2:08:46 Last summer, 23-year-old Ireina 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. No one will ever forget there were people on that train. No one will ever forget the expression of terror on Ireina'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.

2:09:29 Mrs. Zurka, tonight I promise you we will ensure justice for your magnificent daughter. Is this a clip? Is this what happened on the train? >> That's the Yeah. >> How do you not stand? How do you not stand? 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.

2:10:26 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. And our nation's capital itself, Washington DC, where we have almost no crime anymore in Washington DC. How did that happen?

2:11:03 In fact, crime in Washington is now at the lowest level ever recorded. And murders in DC this January were down close to 100% from a year ago. They don't like to hear that. One of sick people, one of the >> sick brave service members who helped achieve this stunning turnaround was 20-year-old West Virginia Army National Guard specialist Sarah Beckram. After a fourmonth 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.

2:11:55 But the very next day, she was on patrol near the White House when she was ambushed and shot in the head by a terrorist monster from Afghanistan. Shouldn't have been in our country. And all because she wore the uniform of our nation, she was shot. He traveled here because he didn't like people wearing our uniform. He was sick and deranged. Shouldn't have been in our country. Sarah Beckram died in order to defend our capital. And we are honored to be joined by her wonderful parents, Gary and Evely.

2:12:31 Your daughter was a true American patriot and she will be greatly missed. She was a great person. I saw reports on her. They've never seen anything like it. So sorry. Thank you very much. Great young lady. I saw reports that 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 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.

2:13:48 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. 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 didn't understand what she was saying. 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.

2:14:30 But she turned out to be right. Right, Melody? She turned out to be right. Amazing. Actually, I said, "Where does this woman come from?" She 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 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.

2:16:01 So, Andrew, while you're up now, I'm going to ask a highly respected General James Sewart to present Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolf and the great family of Sarah Beckm with the award created by our late great President George Washington himself. It's called the Purple Heart. Wow. Wow. Getting shot in the head by an Afghanistan legal enemy survivor on a Wow. Wow.

2:16:44 Shah. Good for him. Wow. 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 10 months I ended eight wars including Cambodia. Isn't it funny? Sick people. Cambodia and Thailand, Pakistan and India. Would have been a nuclear war. 35 million people said the prime minister of Pakistan would have died if it were not for my involvement. Kosovo and Serbia, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Armenia and Azerbaian, 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 want to thank Steve Whitoff and Jared Kushner for your help. Thank you, Steve.

2:18:11 Thank you, Jay. And I also want to thank the mandate report too, Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Thank you, Marco. Stop. There he is. people are like you. You know, Marco got 100% of the votes when he was in confirm. I think our next one was about 54%. And some of the Democrats are now saying, "I can't believe we approved that guy." And he said, "It's an honor that they feel that way." Right, Marco? You have done a great job. Great Secretary of State. I think he'll go down as the best ever.

2:19:28 By the way, say again, >> under the ceasefire I negotiated, every single hostage, both living and dead, has been returned home. Can you believe that? Nobody thought it was possible. 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. That was an amazing period of time. And they came back and when we got all of the living hostages back and many, many before them, but I always said those last 20 are going to be very tough. But we got many, many more. Hundreds.

2:20:21 But I said, "Those last 20 are going to 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. It's a tough It's a tough thing to do. Going through bodies all over, passing up 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. They were so grieved, but they were so happy.

2:21:11 As happy as it's possible to be. They had their boy back. The mother said, "Sir, we have our boy back." What a period of time that was. But we got them all back. So, thank you both very much. Take care.

2:21:37 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. Think of that. 25 >> thousand soldiers 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 wherever I can. But I will never hesitate to confront threats to America wherever we must. That's why in a breakthrough operation last June, the United States military obliterated Iran's nuclear weapons program with an attack on Iranian soil known as Operation Midnight Hammer.

2:22:35 For decades, it had been the policy of the United States never to allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. 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. And we took out Solommania. I did that during my first term. Had a huge impact.

2:23:15 He was the father of the roadside bomb. And just over the last couple of months with the protests, they've killed at least, it looks like, 32,000 protests. 32,000 protesters 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. And they're working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America. After Midnight Hammer, they were warned to make no future attempts to rebuild their weapons program in particular nuclear weapons.

2:24:15 Yet they continue. They're starting it all over. We wiped it out and they want to start all over again and are at this moment again pursuing their sinister ambitions. 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.

2:24:53 My preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy. 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.

2:25:21 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.

2:26:03 So thanks to Republican in Congress, we're 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. 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.

2:26:43 Now they're paying five as opposed to not paying two and getting that 5% was something which everyone said would never be done could not happen. We got it really easily one meeting and uh 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. 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 He doesn't look like he's coming to an end.

2:27:38 >> No. >> Three more minutes is the new record. >> Three minutes. >> Three minutes. >> And every service member recently received a warrior dividend of $1776.

2:28:00 >> You know, they put it on my desk. We got the money from tariffs and other things. A lot of money we have. We have much more money than people understand. Have to rebuild that program a little bit, but it won't take long. But we got the money and it was $1,775. And I they wanted my approval. And I said, "What's the number?" $1,75. I said, "Wait a minute. For one more dollar, we can have 1776. It's going to I said, "We're going to figure that." I never asked anybody if we could afford it. One more dollar. I said 1776.

2:28:32 And I said, "That's good." And I'll tell you what, our military, that was four months ago. Our military, 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. And uh se we call it 1776. It was great. And 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

2:29:11 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. For years, large swasts of territory in our region, including large parts of Mexico, really large parts of Mexico, have been controlled by murderous drug cartels. That's why I designated these cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. And I declared illicit fentinol as a weapon of mass destruction.

2:29:58 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 we very seriously damaged their fishing industry. Also, nobody wants nobody wants to go fishing anymore. We've also taken down one of the most sinister cartel kingpins of all. You saw that yesterday >> in January. >> Did he say we? >> We we did >> different we >> we.

2:30:35 >> All right. So >> there you have it. I don't know if that was a uh >> in January, elite American warriors carried out one of the most complex, spectacular feats of military competence and power in world history. No one's seen anything like it. Foreign leaders, I won't tell you who called me and they said very impressive. Very, they couldn't believe. They all watched. They saw what happened. >> This is a different >> It was Japan >> fighting force that we had years ago when we fought to tie. You know, it's a great fighting force. I'm so proud of it. Look at Space Force. Space Force is my baby because we did that. My baby is becoming so important

2:31:37 and America's armed forces overwhelmed all defenses and utterly defeated a enemy good fighters to end the reign. of outlaw dictator Nicholas Maduro and bring him to face American justice. And this was an absolutely colossal victory for the security of the United States. And it also opens up a bright new beginning for the people of Venezuela. We're working closely with the new president of Venezuela, Deli Rodriguez, 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.

2:32:38 But after Enrique ran for office and opposed Maduro, he was kidnapped by Madura security forces and thrown into the regime's really infamous prison in Caracus. 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 with more to come. Alejandra, 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. Enrique, please come down.

2:33:35 That is so cool. Thank you, Enrique. Have a good time. 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. But the deeds of one warrior that night will live forever in the eternal chronicles of military valor. Chief Warrant Officer Five Eric Sllover planned the mission and was the flight lead in the cockpit of the first helicopter. A big, beautiful, powerful helicopter. Was a massive shinook carrying, as you can imagine, many, many American war fighters. Wearing the dog tags his wife Amy had blessed with holy water before he left. She knew it was going to be a rough one. Eric steered the Chinook under the cover of night and descended swiftly upon Madura's heavily protected military fortress. This was a major military installation protected by thousands of soldiers and

2:35:16 guarded by Russian and Chinese military technology. How did that work out? Not too good. 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 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 commandos 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 at a steep angle. The machine gun stood right in front of him. They were right in front of him. Two machine gunners who escaped the wrath of the previous planes.

2:36:18 Eric maneuvered his helicopter with all of those lives and souls to face the enemy and let his gunners eliminate the threat. Turn 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. only after safely landing the helicopter with all the warriors 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.

2:36:53 Eric told his co-pilot, also wounded, but not as gravely to take over. I'm about ready to pass out. the success of the entire mission and the lives of his fellow warriors hinge and Eric's ability to take the searing pain. It was unbelievable what's happened to his legs of the bullets and keep on flying and landing and people knew what was happening. Everybody in the back of the helicopter knew because 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 Amy. Eric and Amy, come on in.

2:37:52 >> Purple Heart, I think. >> I mean, if he gave Purple Heart to >> Oh, yeah. Oh, >> this could even be bigger because you keep the biggest forward for the end. So, >> I don't know what you can give. Medal of Freedom, medal, bronze star. Could be a bronze star. It has to. It went from medal of freedom, purple heart. This could be a bronze star or Wow, he looks like a Look at that guy.

2:38:34 So, we have a surprise. >> Here we go. >> For Eric and Amy, >> what will it be? >> In recognition of Eric's actions above and beyond the call of duty. Uh >> oh. >> I would now like to ask General Jonathan Braa >> to present Chief Warrant Officer Slover. >> Oh, wow. It's >> with our nation's highest military award, the Congressional Medal of Honor. >> Told you.

2:38:59 >> Wow. >> He's keeping it for the end. >> Wow. >> Good for you. >> Wow. >> Wow. >> Good for him. >> Medal of Freedom. Purple heart of >> Yes. >> Look at him. >> I love it. Stud. >> He took four. Four. He shattered his leg. He's on a walker. >> Dude, that is so sick.

2:39:31 >> Kind of reminds me of Dan. >> Yes. >> Except he's got a different tattoo. He needs to get >> Dan, reach out to him, Dan. I know you're listening.

2:40:11 Well, thank you very much, Eric and Amy. 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 decided to change the name. So, we changed it back. Everybody wanted a change back, too. And 10 of Eric's fellow warriors from that incredible night of victory will also be receiving medals at a private ceremony that will soon be held at the White House. And Eric will be there.

2:40:52 Thank you. 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 oh yeah >> Korea Vietnam flying more than 220 missions in the skies over Korea in 1952 Royce was in the dog fight of a lifetime legendary dog fighting through blizzard conditions his squadron was ambushed by seven Soviet fighter planes 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 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.

2:42:22 But tonight at 100 years old, this brave Navy captain is finally getting the recognition he deserves. 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. >> Wow.

2:42:58 That is so dope. 100 years old. Look at him smile. Look at him laugh. This is so awesome. >> That is so >> respect. >> Oh, big time. >> Look at his ribbon stack. >> Oh, his rack is that soldier behind a movie.

2:43:44 This is having fun. Fantastic. He's my favorite. He's my scared. For the people that are watching that are saying, "Dude, I got to go to sleep." >> There's a 79year-old man right now speaking for two hours and he looks like he can go a few more hours. >> I had to get a coffee. >> Listen, thank you, Eric. >> I've always wanted the Congressional 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.

2:45:05 they ever open up that law, I will be there with you someday. I >> always wanted one of those. >> You know, that's our highest honor, Congressional Medal of Honor. And that's a big thing. >> It's an honor to be in the same room with you. >> We're going to get me one very much, Eric. Thank you. >> Oh my god.

2:45:35 Oh my god. >> Are they all standing? Are they all standing up? >> They're all going. >> 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. Two of the gentlemen we met in the gallery this evening took their first breaths one century ago. 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.

2:46:19 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 into the pinnacle of human civilization and human freedom. the strongest, wealthiest, most powerful, most successful nation in all of history. Americans ventured out across the daunting and dangerous continent. We carve paths through an unforgiving wilderness, settled a boundless frontier, and tamed the beautiful but very, very dangerous wild west.

2:47:00 From empty marshes and wide open plains, we raised up the world's greatest cities. Together, we mastered the world's mightiest industries and 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, 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. 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,

2:48:08 they were forgotten, betrayed, and cast aside. But that great betrayal is over, and they will never be forgotten again. 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, he knows exactly who to ask. There is no challenge Americans cannot overcome, no frontier too vast for us to conquer, no dream too bold for us to chase, no horizon too distant for us to claim. For our destiny is written by the hand of providence. And these first 250 years were just the beginning. From the rugged border towns of Texas to the heartland villages of Michigan. From the sun-kissed shores of Florida to the endless fields of the Dakotas and from the historic streets of Philadelphia to right here in our nation's capital, Washington DC. The golden age of America is upon us. The revolution that began in 1776

2:49:20 has not ended. 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, better, brighter, bolder, and more glorious than ever before. Thank you. God bless you. And God bless America. I mean, >> put on mute, Ron. >> Wow. >> Okay, so hour and 45 minutes. He broke the record for the longest State of the Union speech ever. And not only that, the previous longest speech ever given by a president that wasn't a State of the Union was by himself at an hour and 39 minutes. So, he broke Clinton's record and his own record all in one night, almost two hours. Remember, 79 years old, about to turn 80 years old in four months. Tom, your biggest takeaway from And by the way, while this is going on, couple things we haven't even seen.

2:50:27 I'll show you a couple things here. That's Al Green. If you want to get to the first one, Rob just showed a picture of when the president walked in, what he was shown. Zoom in a little bit. You see what he has or no? >> Yeah. >> Okay. I I at first I thought that was a meme. Yeah. >> I said it's got to be AI. Okay. So now go to the video, Rob, if you could. While this is taking place, >> Al Green becomes the first person to be kicked out of the State of the Union two years in a row. That's him.

2:50:53 >> And a couple people are saying things to him. >> So stupid. >> The guy just said, "Come on, Al." Right there. He just said, "Come on, Al." >> Where we were just >> So yeah. So that's taking place behind the scenes. And then couple other people screaming. Commentary being made on who was screaming, who was not. Of the Supreme Court justice that was there. Of the nine, only four showed up. >> Not the nine. So, by the way, that's six Republicans. That means two Republicans >> didn't show up. If you want to play the clip of who was there, these were the folks that showed up revolution. Let me just point out this is the Chief Justice Helena Kagan, Brett Kavanagh, and Amy Coney Barrett, justices of the Supreme Court. Four of the nine, Amy, Coney Barrett, Kagan, and

2:51:38 Roberts, all voted against President Trump in his tariff ruling. We don't know how this is about. >> So that's interesting to see who showed up, who didn't show up. Okay, having said that, favorite part of the entire speech Tom. >> Uh I I think the first hour was >> I thought you froze for a second. >> I thought I thought I thought >> I was like in the Matrix. No, I think the first the first hour was why I voted for him. Um, he went down the list of things is why we voted for him. What he did with and the list was just huge. I could I could go on and on and on, but it was a a trip down the year reminding us of all the things he said he was going to do and all the things that he did. fentanyl murder the lowest rate what he did in Washington DC and then starting at the beginning what he did with um meds the uh most favored nation

2:52:31 MVF for uh to get um medications down prescription meds down um he said I'm going to protect social security Medicare Medicaid and the insider trading I thought he went through that so I thought it was a wonderful trip I was waiting for maybe one or two new things that might come out but he reminded what he did with the um the Trump accounts. Um and he was he was who we voted for tonight. Brash, poked. You people are crazy. Um at the same time, uh makes us laugh. You know, I've always wanted a Medal of Honor for myself. Um makes us laugh in that. Uh it's what I expected. I was hoping to hear more on affordability, but I was glad that he reminded us just so much of what he's done on energy prices. He dwelled on that for a minute or two to remind us of what he had done and then also reminded us of things that were important that he didn't get done yet that no one's gotten

2:53:30 done. The Save Act, no mailin ballots. Um I I just I felt like this was the president I voted for. I wish more that um I was looking for more that he would give a red meat of things he was going to push over the course of the summer that the uh the voting block can rally around, right? You say, "Hey, with each election, you have to have a cause and you have to have something you're for." Uh, and right now what we have for us midterms is we got to rally around. Don't let them. Don't let them. That's where we are right now for midterms. I don't feel like we're rallying around a lot of things that are that are new. The Save Act is very important to get it passed. But do you see where I'm going?

2:54:13 I was looking for like one one or two big new things, but it was a trip. It was a trip down reminding me of why I voted for him. And the stuff that he did get done is an amazing agenda. >> I'm going to come to a couple of you guys here in a minute, so just be ready. If anybody has any thoughts that they want to say, raise your hand. We'll uh signal and look for you and come to you. Finny, your thoughts? >> Um, I absolutely loved it. I think it was such like if you want to talk about entertainment, just compare this State of the Union to Joe Biden's State of the Union. Short, drugged out of his mind, doesn't know what he's saying. Think about what we just got, Pat. Think about this. You got a message for America. You got a celebration of what we are and where, you know, where we came from, where we are, and where we're going. Um,

2:54:58 he gave out medals like you said, a medal of freedom, uh, Purple Heart, Medal of Honor. He brought sport. By the way, the happiest he was in this entire speech was when the hockey team came out. Did you notice how excited he was? Because by the way, and this goes back to his SPORTS AND HERE ARE SOME WINNERS. >> YEAH. WHEN REMEMBER he was back in the day, he was freaking, you know, at all the boxing matches and all the sporting events. That's that's who he is. I love that we got a little bit of entertainment uh as well, Pat. Crapping on the Democrats in front of their faces. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib just angry bitter yelling disrespectful which I don't um I'm not shocked. Um, and he got to reveal. We got to see what these Democrats are really about.

2:55:36 They're not standing for certain things. They're they're pro- illegals. All right? They don't they're not standing up for people that were stabbed and murdered by illegals because of their freaking uh policies. And guys, we got a comedy show. He's funny. So, all around Pat, I think for for two hours for somebody that's almost 80 years old, it was awesome. It was this is what this is what I've done. This is who we are and this is where we're going. I absolutely loved it. It was awesome. Adam Uh, can you hear me? Okay, PBD, >> we can. Yes, go forward.

2:56:04 >> I wasn't sure when when Tom glitched. I was like, do we have a problem? But it was I think just Tom's getting tired. It was a long speech. But couple quick takeaways. Number one, shout out to the men's hockey team. I mean, he paraded them out there. I And when he said, "We're going to win so big." I'm like, "Where's this guy going?" Boom. They enter the room like that to you, Tom. >> I know. I'm sorry about that, Tom, but you glitched for a second.

2:56:25 >> Do not let him bully you, Tom. I don't appreciate it. >> I know you don't appreciate it, Pat, but we had to call. You know, the truth is the truth. You know, we believe in the truth here. >> But can we say what what what the really the bottom line is here. I mean, he's here two hours talking. >> There was a threeminut segment and he said, "All right, guys. Here's your chance. If you agree with this, stand up. If not, stay seated." And he said, "If you want to protect American citizens instead of illegal aliens, please stand up." And half the room stood up. Round of applause. And then the Democrats, unfortunately, they showed exactly who they are. Guys, this is not that hard. This is not a a partisan issue to say, "I stand for the American people." He completely shamed

2:57:09 them. He said they should be ashamed of himself. Meanwhile, the the people that believe in citizens of the United States are chanting USA. It's the loudest applause of the night. And here, these guys are sitting just like blank faces. Shame on you, Democrats. I used to be someone that voted Democrat and never in my life after seeing that could I ever consider voting Democrat again. It's crazy. How are you going to stand for illegals and not the American citizens? Your job is to stand for the American citizens. Democrats, please do better.

2:57:40 Last but not least, the one part that they did stand for was the insider trading act. Shout out to Nancy Pelosi. Where are you, Nancy? So, the Democrats unfortunately revealed their hand. We know exactly who they are and they're pro- illegal immigration and open borders. Guys, this really isn't that hard of a thing. But you you hate Trump so much that you're going to sit down and rather than stand up for the American people, shame on you, >> Tom. What are the comments section saying?

2:58:08 >> Um our comments. >> Yeah. >> Um well, they didn't appreciate his uh poke. >> I thought it was funny. I thought he I don't He's trying to upset you, Tom. He's he's rapating you. What the what they were actually the comments were agreeing with Vinnie on the medals when Vinnie was talking about the medals. The comments were running that he recognized it was coming down here. He recognizing so many >> I was joking when I asked what did the comment section say Tom? I know it was a total joke but let me go over here. I I I >> Tom's checking the comments.

2:58:36 >> Let me ask a couple people here. But by the way, you make a very good point on the part about uh I think that clip of, you know, this is your chance, stand up. And it was 3 minutes of recording. They he stood up and he just looked at him. That's going to be used at every midterm. If I'm a marketing guy, I'm going to cut that and I'm going to go door knocking for whatever midterm Congress, House, anybody that's running for midterms, I'm going to go and say, "Are you more for uh Americans or are you for illegal immigrants?" Hey, when the president said this, your candidate didn't stand up. Is that who you want to vote for? Is that who you want to vote for? That's what I'm doing. So, when you're going knocking on doors, I'm just going to get an iPad out and I'm showing

2:59:18 that clip. I'm going to get my phone out. That is the easiest thing to do. You don't need a script. You don't need to know the Constitution. You don't need to know nothing. Do you want somebody that defends illegal immigrants more than you? The Democratic Party of today, by the way, not of 20 years ago. If you watch what Schumer said about illegal immigrants 20 years ago, if you watch what Hillary said about illegal immigrants 20 years ago, if you watch what Obama said about illegal immigrants 15 years ago, you know what they say about it? They are not for this. Not for this. So what the hell is going on with today's Democratic party? That is the worst piece of moment of the State of the Union that's going to be used between now and the end of the year. I don't know how much impact it's got. I don't know if it's going to flip some

3:00:02 seats. I don't know what it's going to do, but I do think it's a big mistake that they made. Uh, motto, go for it. Who do we have out here on what they want what they want to say? >> Hello, Andy Hernandez. Uh, I thought he was masterful. He just really exposed what the Democrat party doesn't stand for or stand for. I don't know. The biggest takeaway that I got is what do the Democrats stand for? And I will ask you guys is where would you rank this State of the Union in the five that Trump or the four five that Trump has had? Where would you put it?

3:00:37 >> I I I will tell you from my and I'll keep that brief because I don't know if I want to go there. I think for me it's it's more about the following. Let me tell you what makes it special. If you think about what is the most difficult decision you have to make this week, think about the most intense, high intense tension moment with your spouse, with your boss, with a client, with a vendor, with a massive nasty negotiation conversation. Then imagine you had to go in the room and face that person. What is the most intense meeting you had this year? And how did you handle that meeting? This guy just walked into the room where nearly half the room hates him.

3:01:18 >> They can't stand him. And he knows how many people probably watch the State of the Union today. What do you think is the total number of people that are probably gonna end up watching that? What's the number? What do you think the number is? >> Tens of millions. Rob, what would you say? 50 million. >> Say 50, 40, 50 million people watched it. >> Whatever. Whoever's watching this, you're a regular human being. You think about tension. You just got publicly your tariffs didn't go through because the Supreme Court. Four of them are sitting literally in front of you right there. They're in front of you while you're speaking. And if it's four of them, what does that tell you? At least one of them wasn't for you.

3:01:54 >> Yeah. >> Then you got the complete other side here that's calling you racist. That's calling you all this other stuff. They don't want to see you win. Then you got everybody in mainstream media are saying what they're saying while you're walking up the aisle. The other guys are rage baiting you. and you get up there and you smile and laugh and have fun and give people Medal of Honors, Medal of Freedoms, Purple Hearts, and you're celebrating with the hockey team and you're saying the women's team is going to come to the White House on a separate day and you're enjoying yourself. To me, that's like the ultimate middle finger to every hater he has. I think that's what makes this special. I don't know if the context or the content makes it special. I think what made it special is

3:02:34 he was inside a tornado in the middle of it. Folks, what is the biggest decision that you're carrying right now? Maybe you know about one of your siblings that's going through a divorce that nobody else knows about. Maybe your kid got caught doing some drugs that you know you're dealing with it. Maybe one of your sons or your daughter called you. They want to get a divorce and leave their wives or their husbands. Maybe you yourself are going through marital issues. Maybe you're going through health issue nobody knows about.

3:02:58 Maybe you're going through a bankruptcy. something's going on with you that nobody knows about. Maybe you're going through so many different things. How do you walk into meetings? What do you do? What's the burden the guy's got right now with what he's handling? I mean, this is a job you signed up for to be a president. And to come in and do it like that and this long and this calm and have fun in the face of everybody else. Marcus Aurelius, I tweeted this a minute ago.

3:03:25 Marcus Aurelius once tweeted this. You guys didn't catch that one, did you? >> Tweets. >> Yeah, he used to he used to be on Twitter a lot back in the days. Marcus Aurelius once said this, "The best way to upset your enemies is to remain calm." And he upset his enemies tonight. He made a fool out of them. And by the way, I have a feeling the market's going to go crazy tonight. He said this and he didn't say that and he didn't say this. He's going through this. What is what is the biggest decision they have to make that they haven't made yet? What is the biggest decisions that they have to make that they haven't made yet? What what what is what do you think happened two hours before that meeting? You think he's had two days to prepare for this?

3:04:09 You think he's had two days of don't bother me. Don't bother me. Let me get some time. I can't shake hands because if I shake hands, I may get sick. You think he has the privilege to do that? Hell no. What is the biggest decision that he has to make that they haven't made the decision yet? Iran. And you go up there. Yeah. All right. Oh, yeah. Hockey. I love the goalie. You know, it was great. That's why we're giving him the medal of freedom. What? Yeah. You know, he's a good-looking guy.

3:04:38 Look at the guy with the green that, you know, that suit was like two sizes too small. What a good-looking guy. You know, I mean, he's doing all this stuff, working the crowd. >> So, to me, I think you got to give credit to the man that's under that kind of fire. and he remained calm, poised, played, punked them, did what he did, got up, gave the longest speech, and left. And he's 79 years old, about to be 80. You got to respect it. I don't care what anybody says. You got to respect it. Anybody else here that has anything to say? Vic, how about yourself? And maybe introduce yourself and what it is you do so people know.

3:05:10 >> I'm Jack Boxin. I work at Ferrari Fort Lauderdale. >> Um, what I took from tonight, I'm here with my son, my firstborn. And >> this is the son that you guys talked to for 3 four hours doing hookah. >> Seriously. >> So I think the first time this is his first state of the union. He's never watched a state. He didn't even know what a state of the union was. And for the young kids, >> how old are you?

3:05:37 >> Okay. What What's the He's got like a physique though. Like the big boy, huh? >> Definitely the big boy. um these kids for the first time in my the first hour of the State of the Union was to me what he did, what he's done. But the last hour for for me taught the young kids, the go the medals, the what the hockey teams, the the just it it felt like he was wholesome, like he did it, you know, like he made the he made it like he he did I think at the end of the day, he felt human. He talked about the medals he gave. He talked about the families and everything he did.

3:06:33 >> Why do you support him? Why do you support him? >> I like his values. I support him because I believe in him. I support him because the things that he talks about, I don't agree the way he comes across certain ways. I don't. But I value his values. The way he talks, the way he's with his kids, the way he he's just a he's a family guy. And at the end of the day, that's what it's all about. And to to me, that last hour, the last hour, the young kids in this world got it in my opinion. And that's my opinion.

3:07:11 >> I love it. Yeah. I mean, you know, you hope they're watching. I'm trying to think. When you were 23, were you watching State of the Union? Absolutely. >> I can tell you what my 14-year-old son is doing. He is glued to the screen watching the State of the Union. He can't wait for me to go talk to him. He's going to be like, "Dad, you came too late. I'm not going to see him tonight. I'll see him in the morning." I, you know, I like when he said this. I I didn't watch the State of the Union until I was 47 years old. Today's the first time I'm watching this. Obviously, I'm joking with you. It was probably my late 20s, but 23 years old watching something like this. Um, yeah. Does Does it Does now do me a favor, flip it. I want you guys to flip it now. Tell Vinnie the last part before we wrap this

3:07:50 up. Adam, I want you to flip it. Everybody flip the whole thing. What What would the other side criticize? >> What part do you criticize? >> What part of tonight >> do you criticize? >> If I'm If I'm a >> And keep this in mind, the great thing about this right now is we have seen nothing. You know how they call Stephen A. Smith? What's the show called? The what? The first. Hey, cuz you're the first one that's given a take on what's going on, right? We've seen nothing. We don't know what CNN is saying. We don't know what Fox is saying. We don't know what CBS is saying. We know nothing that's going on. Okay. But what do you think the opposition is saying after a speech that he gave tonight?

3:08:30 >> I because I know how disgusting they are and how they're they're captured by this evil freaking spirit. What? He's giving a purple heart to a guy that was just standing in the street and got shot. It's not like he was at war. He was just on the street and got shot by somebody. Why are you giving a a Purple Heart? Why are you giving the Medal of Honor for a guy that was getting in a helicopter to go to do one of these illegal wars that you're going to do? Why is he doing that? He should be They should be giving >> You think they're going to say that?

3:08:56 >> Oh, the Democrats, I'm telling you guys right now, and you made a great point. He's been loving Go back everybody go to YouTube when you go home. Google Donald Trump, Letterman, Oprah, all those shows. He's constantly consistently stayed on message. I love America. I love this country. And the problem is Democrats hate him more than they love America. That's it. End of the story. So they're going to come at him Pat with that type of stuff. Affordability. People are struggling. All illegals, his ICE Gustapo, they were shooting people in the streets. That's all they're going to do. I guarantee you. I guarantee you they're going to say that that guy did not deserve a Purple Heart. I'll bet you they're going to say that. That's how disgusting they are. Elon Omar and Rashila Talib were in there yelling at

3:09:41 Trump. >> What do you think, Tom? What do you think Tom? >> I think it there's a 20 minute section that they're going after. And I took notes on this. Starting with the small the little girl in the black dress, the cutest little girl, the Delilah law on uh no commercial driver's licenses for illegal aliens. It's going to be, you know, it's unfortunate what happened with that accident, but he's denying them opportunity to work. He still then he went in from that to deporting illegals to uh eliminating sanctuary cities to the Save America Act and no mail and ballots together. He is trying to disenfranchise from people who are voting. He's trying to disenfranchise them. All of that came together. They're going to go hard on that which they already been on. Then uh deployed forces to DC and to Maine and to um uh

3:10:32 Illinois. They're going to come back with he was sending troops in when they weren't needed. He made it worse. I think they're going to double down on those things because those is the red meat for them. And I actually I don't know how much the rebuttal will say. It's the governor of Virginia, a woman about what is she 38 or 40 years old? But it's your angry white middle-aged woman. The perfect rebuttal. That's who's giving the rebuttal for the Democrats right now on whatever channel they're broadcasting. And I believe that that is what they're going to go after because there's really not What do you do about the rest of it? Inflation. They don't have math to go after it. There, there she is. Yeah. Abigail Spamburger.

3:11:15 They don't have that to go after. Reduce the price of pharmaceuticals. That's a fact. How do you go after that? You can't go after that. Right. Um Americans that are off food stamps, that's a number. You can't go after that. The hockey team wins. You celebrate it. I know they hate the patriotism in that, but what do they go after? They go after that that 25 minutes. You know the 25 minutes I'm talking about. He went down that laundry list. That is what they're going to do.

3:11:38 >> What do you think would be because that's their red meat and that's by the way that's their voting block. By the way, Schumer and um Obama and everybody, I'll tell you what happened to them. You they you think they're crazy now and they're talking about this. What changed? I'll tell you what changed. People moved out of blue states to red states. Electoral votes in the elections moved and they had to take steps against it. They saw what was happening. It is possible that Wisconsin could be semi-permanently red. You look at rural Wisconsin with Detroit shrinking as a city. Detroit's no longer a top five city. When Adam was there and growing up and his family, I thought Detroit was like number four. Houston is like number three now. So you see what's moving out of Michigan. Michigan could become permanently red unless unless you bring

3:12:30 in different voters. And I believe that's what's happening and that's their panic. And that's why Schumer and Obama, what did they say last time? Oh yeah, the legal we have to do something about this. Now it's oh, you're disenfranchising citizens coming to the United States. >> Uh Adam. >> Yes, sir. Hey Tom, please leave my family out of this, please. Okay, we don't need to go there. All right, let's not do that. >> You lived there when it was great. You lived there when the Pistons were there and then the NBA was great.

3:12:59 >> Yeah. My dad is from Detroit. My mom is from Minneapolis. But Pat, you asked one question. Flip it. What are the Democrats thinking? Is that what you asked? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, let me give you an example. So, I just said don't talk about my family, but I'm going to talk about my mom right now. Guys, brace for impact. I'm about to call out my mom because I love my mom. She's a Democrat. I have family that's Democrat. I have friends that are Democrats. I obviously have friends Republican. Everyone in the middle. I love Democrats. I have no love for the socialists or the Marxists or anything like that. But my mom is texting me. She goes, "I know you're in DC. I know, but you know, he's so harsh and you know his delivery and he's a narcissist and I don't like the way he

3:13:36 makes me feel." And I text my mom the following words. Mom, the facts don't care about your feelings and please never vote again. I love you, Mom. Here's the reality. I I literally text her and I'll show you DVD. I said, "Pon, please don't vote because women, and I love the women. I love the women. They're very emotional." And I get it. Trump might not. He's very abrasive. He's a brute. I get it. But do you want a nice guy running the country that feels really nice, or do you want a tough sob that gets stuff done? Trump is that second version. And I'm sorry, you might be a little uncomfortable with how he handles it, but he's a gangster and he's gonna get stuff done. So, you might not agree with how he handles it, but look at what Biden did. Are you kidding me? You want a nice corpse or do you

3:14:22 want a real president that gets stuff done? So, the last thing I'll say is this. Remember in kindergarten we had we played show and tell, right? The whole thing that, you know, don't don't just tell, show what's going on. That picture of when Trump said, "Stand up if you're in favor of protecting American citizens versus illegal aliens." They're going to show that picture and they're going to have to tell the story. They're just going to show it. Guys, this is who the Democrats are. I'm sorry, guys. This is now you you couldn't stand up. You stand up for the insider trading with Nancy Pelosi, but you're not going to stand up for your American citizens. To me, it's disgusting. And I'll end with this. You know, they say that the the best revenge is massive success. Trump at the very

3:15:06 beginning, he goes, "What a difference a president can make. Are you kidding me? what Biden was doing, you know, weekend at Bernie style versus what Trump is doing. It's night and day. Respect to you, President Trump. And Mom, I love you. I'm sorry. I'll be home soon, but uh please never vote again. >> Can I ask you an honest question? >> Yeah. You've known him for how long? >> How long have I What's the first time you can't talk to me in that event?

3:15:32 >> 12. >> Uh we we met in 2012, Pat. Working out in the gym. Grown men. >> How many years? How many years is that? do not know what year 2012. Do some math. >> No, I'm asking you how many years. >> 14 years. >> 14 years. Did you Would you ever have thought that fast forward to now that Adam, the Biden voting, Hillary, Obama, that guy would be in Washington bragging about Trump and yelling at his mom not to vote for Democrats? DID YOU EVER THINK THAT you would have this much?

3:16:00 >> Let me tell you, you you you haven't seen w with a lot of people. I've turned a Mexican gangster into the biggest Trump supporting guy. I do this for a living behind closed doors. So Adam's just another one of those guys did it to. But let me tell you what, he also threatened me with a pow pow if I didn't turn around. But >> but let me tell you guys, by the way, >> the first conversation Adam and I had when Adam wanted to move to Addison because he loved the beach in Addison.

3:16:25 And he says he wants to move to Texas and he calls me. He says, "Hey, you know, I'm coming down all this stuff." And while I'm doing the interview, because I was in Miami, I was shooting a video that we never went live with because it was a helicopter video. But we just ended up not doing anything with the helicopter video because the timing of it. And you know, anyways, long story short, I'm sitting here. I meet him here. He said, "Pat, I'm willing to move. I want to drop everything and just come to Addison. You don't have to pay me. You don't have to do anything. I just want to be around you in the office. That's what I want to do." I said, "Okay, let's talk next week." So, I call him. I said, "So, Adam, question for you." Yes. I said, "Before we talk

3:16:58 about you coming down here, um, tell me how you feel about Trump." And he goes like this. Uh, what do you mean? I said, exactly what I mean. How do you feel about him? Now, this is not an appropriate question to ask in a job interview, but it's like, hey, you're wanting to come down. Yeah. >> How do you feel about Trump? >> Well, do you remember what you said or no? Do do you remember any of it on what you said on that phone? >> I think there was a lot of stumbling and stuttering, you know, like Vinnie does.

3:17:28 >> Yeah. So he go he goes like that and then I said just so you know I support this guy and this is a guy that I think is the right guy for the job and I need to know that that's not going to change here. So this is my position and you need to you need to be comfortable with it. Anyways, the relationship started that way and to be in right now where he's at. >> Adam is the biggest MAGA guy I know. That is the weirdest thing to tell you this. Adam is the biggest mega guy I know. By the way, just so everybody knows, here's how crazy this is. He's the only guy on the panel that's been invited to the White House. That's the craziest thing for you to think about.

3:18:05 Okay, this guy went from being the biggest hater, Biden, Hillary Clinton, all this stuff. He won money of Biden becoming the president. But look, respect you for the fact that you're able. >> I'll be at the White House tomorrow, PBD. Just uh, you know, just a little cherry on top. >> Oh, yeah. I'm not surprised. You're already in there. I think at this point uh uh there's a there's a lot of potential jobs that could be lined up for somebody like you if you wanted to go into politics. But you know this is this is the part that I think about and keep them on if you can keep the panel with everybody with all of us Rob the way you had it a minute ago. Just keep it like that because I want to come to you guys.

3:18:38 Here's what I want to think about. So, you know how um you see these guys on Twitter who have their own podcast or Rumble or whatever, streamers and all this stuff and the business model of rage baiting is a real thing. >> Mhm. >> It's a real thing. Like I'll see my oldest son rage bait my younger son and my younger son will lose his mind and he'll come to me. They called you. They called me the other day. You picked up the phone. You were kind of handling it.

3:19:04 >> Yep. >> I can't believe he said this. And I said, "Yeah, he's trying to get under your skin. He's winning." But you know what he said to me? He said, "I'm a this. Is it true?" Of course, it's not true. Why would you ask that? But if you're getting angry, you're validating to him that it's true. So, they'll do this to poke. If you guys haven't seen these videos with the beautiful thumbnails with my face on it, it's hilarious. Sometimes I just watch it. Guys, there's these they they make these thumbnails that are so with especially with new AI. It's I will sit in the back. I'll watch a thumbnail of me and I'll have Vinnie say Vinnie, look at this one. I will laugh my ass off even though they're trying to get under

3:19:44 my skin. Where am I going to you here? Here's the problem with Democrats and all these rage baiting people out there.
