Learn English with Donald Trump. President Donald Trump delivers a speech in Dayton, Ohio on infrastructure and the need for infrastructure investment in America's heartland. He also speaks about the importance of having a strong economy in the heartland of the country, and calls for $1.6 billion in infrastructure projects across the U.S. to be built across the Ohio River, including a new bridge across the river between Ohio and Kentucky, the Brents Bend Bridge, which will be the first new bridge in the area in 60 years and will be completed by the end of 2020. Trump also calls for a $15 minimum wage raise for women and minorities, and urges Congress to pass a bill that would force companies to hire more women in their manufacturing plants, which could pay an average of $130,000 a year in wages, and support their families in the long-term, if they want to work in the manufacturing sector. Trump is also calling for a border patrol agent to patrol the border and prevent illegal immigrants from crossing the border, which is illegal in most states, but could be legal under the USA's new immigration law passed in 2016.

00:00:00.000I don't think you guys are getting audio, right?
00:04:24.000The United States of America, 13th in the world in infrastructure, modern infrastructure.
00:04:30.000But now we're coming back because we came together and passed the bipartisan infrastructure law, the largest investment in infrastructure since President Eishower's interstate highway system.
00:04:44.000You know, I actually support Joe Biden.
00:04:50.000We've funded over 20,000 projects, including major airports from Boston to Atlanta to Portland.
00:04:57.000Projects that will put thousands of people to work rebuilding our highways, our bridges, our railroads, our tunnels, ports, airports, clean water, high-speed internet all across America.
00:05:08.000Urban, rural, tribal, and folks just getting started.
00:07:34.000Every child in America can drink the water instead of having permanent damage to their brain.
00:07:39.000Look, we're making sure that every community in America has access to affordable high-speed internet.
00:07:55.000No parent should have to drive by a McDonald's parking lot to help them do their homework online with their kids, which many thousands are doing across the country.
00:08:05.000And when we do these projects, and again I get criticized for this, but I make no excuses for it, we're going to buy America.
00:12:09.000So many, so many things that we did are only now coming to fruition.
00:12:17.000We said we were doing this, and we said we passed the law to do it, but people didn't know because the law didn't take effect until January 1 of this year.
00:12:25.000We capped the cost of insulin at $35 a month.
00:12:38.000I'm sure you're getting the same calls I'm getting.
00:12:41.000Look, there are millions of other Americans who do not or are not on Medicare, including 200,000 young people with type 1 diabetes that need this insulin to stay alive.
00:14:33.000Instead of paying $400 or $500 a month, you're paying $15.
00:14:37.000That's a lot of savings for the federal government.
00:14:40.000And by the way, why would we want that?
00:14:43.000Now, some members here are threatening, and I know it's not an official party position, so I'm not going to exaggerate, but threatening to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act.
00:16:49.000New electric grids that are able to weather major storms and not prevent those forest fires.
00:16:55.000Roads and water systems will withstand the next big flood.
00:16:59.000Clean energy to cut pollution and create jobs in communities often left behind.
00:17:02.000We're going to build 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations installed across the country by tens of thousands of IBEW workers.
00:17:14.000We're helping families save more than a thousand dollars a year with tax credits to purchase electric vehicles and efficient appliances, energy-efficient appliances.
00:17:25.000Historic conservation efforts to be responsible stewards of our land.
00:18:40.000Hey, I pay my fair share, and then some.
00:18:44.000The idea that in 2020, 55 of the largest corporations in America, the Fortune 500, made $40 billion in profits and paid zero in federal taxes?
00:19:23.000I said at the very beginning, under my plans, as long as I'm president, nobody earning less than $400,000 will pay an additional penny in taxes.
00:20:37.000They invested too little of that profit to increase domestic production.
00:20:41.000And when I talked to a couple of them, they said, we're afraid you're going to shut down all the oil wells and all the oil refineries anyway, so why should we invest in them?
00:20:49.000I said, we're going to need oil for at least another decade.
00:20:53.000And that's going to exceed and beyond that.
00:21:12.000Corporations ought to do the right thing.
00:21:15.000That's why I propose we quadruple the tax on corporate stock buybacks and encourage long-term investments.
00:21:24.000They'll still make considerable profit.
00:21:29.000Let's finish the job and close the loopholes that allow very wealthy to avoid paying their taxes.
00:21:34.000Instead of cutting the number of audits for wealthy taxpayers, I just signed a law to reduce the deficit by $114 billion by cracking down on wealthy tax cheats.
00:21:52.000In the last two years, my administration has cut the deficit by more than $1.7 trillion, the largest deficit reduction in American history.
00:22:06.000Under the previous administration, the American deficit went up four years in a row.
00:22:11.000Because those record deficits, no president added more to the national debt in any four years than my predecessor.
00:22:19.000Nearly 25% of the entire national debt that took over 200 years to accumulate was added by just one administration alone, the last one.
00:26:08.000Wow, he really just is that much taller than her.
00:26:10.000The plan I'm going to show you is going to cut the deficit by another $2 trillion.
00:26:13.000And I won't cut a single bit of Medicare or Social Security.
00:26:17.000In fact, we're going to extend the Medicare trust fund at least two decades, because that's going to be the next argument.
00:26:22.000How do we make keep it solvent, right?
00:26:24.000Well, we'll not raise tax on anyone making under 400 grand, but we'll pay for it the way we talked about by making sure that the wealthy and big corporations pay their fair share.
00:26:49.000We're already preventing Americans from receiving surprise medical bills.
00:26:52.000Stopping $1 billion surprise bills per month so far.
00:26:58.000We're protecting seniors' life savings.
00:27:03.000By cracking down on nursing homes that commit fraud, endanger patient safety, prescribe drugs that are not needed.
00:27:10.000Millions of Americans can now save thousands of dollars because they can finally get a hearing aid over-the-counter without a prescription.
00:27:17.000Look, capitalism without competition is not capitalism.
00:27:30.000Last year, I cracked down, with the help of many of you, on foreign shipping companies that were making you pay higher prices for every good coming into the country.
00:27:39.000I signed a bipartisan bill that cut shipping costs by 90 percent, helping American farmers, businessmen, and consumers.
00:27:48.000Pass the bipartisan legislation to strengthen antitrust enforcement and prevent big online platforms from giving their own products an unfair advantage.
00:30:49.000We're banning those agreements so companies have to compete for workers and pay them what they're worth.
00:30:57.000There's not a whole lot in here for me, though.
00:30:59.000It sounds like a lot of stuff for, like, poor people and, like, burger flippers and firefighters and nurses, but what about, like, business owners and, uh, rich people?
00:32:35.000Restoring the dignity of work means making education an affordable ticket to the middle class.
00:32:40.000You know, when we made public education, 12 years of it universal, in the last century, we made the best educated, best paid, we became the best educated, best paid nation in the world.
00:32:52.000But the rest of the world's caught up.
00:33:02.000Any nation that out-educates us is going to out-compete us.
00:33:06.000Any nation that out-educates is going to out-compete us.
00:33:09.000Folks, we all know 12 years of education is not enough to win the economic competition of the 21st century.
00:33:15.000If you want to have the best educated workforce, let's finish the job by providing access to preschool for 3 and 4 years old.
00:33:28.000Studies show that children who go to preschool are nearly 50% more likely to finish high school and go on to earn a two- or four-year degree, no matter their background they came from.
00:33:39.000Let's give public school teachers a raise.
00:33:56.000By reducing student debt, increasing Pell Grants, or working in middle-class families.
00:34:01.000Let's finish the job and connect students to career opportunities starting in high school, provide access to two years of community college, the best career training in America, in addition to being a pathway to a four-year degree.
00:34:15.000Let's offer every American a path to a good career, whether they go to college or not.
00:34:26.000Folks, in the midst of the COVID crisis, when schools were closed and we were shutting down everything, let's recognize how far we came in the fight against the pandemic itself.
00:34:41.000While the virus is not gone, thanks to the resilience of the American people and the ingenuity of medicine, we've broken the COVID grip on us.
00:36:34.000Now let's triple the anti-fraud strike force going after these criminals, double the statute of limitations on these crimes, and crack down on identity fraud by criminal syndicates stealing billions of dollars, billions of dollars from the American people.
00:36:47.000And the data shows that for every dollar we put into fighting fraud, the tax rate gets back at least 10 times as much.
00:39:11.000Law enforcement of enforcement who earns the community's trust.
00:39:16.000Just as every cop when they pin on that badge in the morning has a right to be able to go home at night, so does everybody else out there.
00:39:24.000Our children have a right to come home safely.
00:39:30.000Equal protection under the law is a commitment we have with each other in America.
00:39:41.000We know police officers put their lives on the line every single night and day.
00:39:46.000And we know we ask them, in many cases, to do too much to be counselors, social workers, psychologists, responding to drug overdoses, mental health crises, and so much more.
00:39:56.000In one sense, we ask much too much of them.
00:39:59.000I know most cops and their families are good, decent, honorable people, the vast majority.
00:40:04.000But they risk... And they risk their lives every time they put that shield on.
00:40:22.000But what happened to Tyree in Memphis happens too often.
00:40:50.000More investment in housing, education, and job training.
00:40:56.000All this can help prevent violence in the first place.
00:41:00.000When police officers or police departments violate the public trust, they must be held accountable.
00:41:11.000With the support of the families of victims,
00:41:21.000Civil rights groups and law enforcement.
00:41:23.000I signed an executive order for all federal officers banning chokeholds, restricting no-knock warrants, and other key elements of the George Floyd Act.
00:41:35.000Let's commit ourselves to make the words of Tyler's mom true.
00:43:36.000During the Lunar New Year celebrations, he heard the studio door close, and he saw a man standing there pointing a semi-automatic pistol at him.
00:43:47.000He thought he was going to die, but he thought about the people inside.
00:44:26.000In ten years that ban was law, mass shootings went down.
00:44:30.000After we let it expire in the Republican administration, mass shootings tripled.
00:44:35.000Let's finish the job and ban these assault weapons.
00:44:39.000And let's also come together on immigration.
00:44:42.000Make it a bipartisan issue once again.
00:44:50.000We now have a record number of personnel working to secure the border, arresting 8,000 human smugglers, seizing over 23,000 pounds of fentanyl in just the last several months.
00:45:03.000We've launched a new border plan last month.
00:45:07.000Unlawful migration from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela has come down 97% as a consequence of that.
00:45:15.000But American border problems won't be fixed until Congress acts.
00:45:19.000If we don't pass my comprehensive immigration reform, at least pass my plan to provide the equipment and officers to secure the border.
00:45:33.000And a pathway to citizenship for DREAMers, those on temporary status, farm workers, essential workers.
00:45:41.000Here in the People's House, it's our duty to protect all the people's rights and freedoms.
00:46:16.000She's trying to look like a normal person.
00:46:36.000Let's also pass the Bipartisan Equality Act to ensure LGBTQ Americans, especially transgender young people, can live with safety and dignity.
00:48:59.000Before I came to office, the story was about how the People's Republic of China was increasing its power, and America was failing in the world.
00:49:11.000We made clear, and I made clear in my personal conversations, which have been many, with President Xi, that we seek competition, not conflict.
00:51:44.000We passed a law making it easy for doctors to prescribe effective treatments for opium addiction.
00:51:49.000We passed the gun safety law making historic investments in mental health.
00:51:55.000We launched the ARPA-H drive for breakthrough in the fights against cancer, Alzheimer's, and diabetes, and so much more.
00:52:03.000We passed the Heath Robinson PACT Act, named after the late Iraq War veteran whose story about exposure to toxic burn kits I shared here last year.
00:52:24.000I understand something about those burn pits, but there's so much more to do.
00:53:48.000You can literally hear her over everybody.
00:54:08.000Strong penalties to crackdown on fentanyl trafficking.
00:54:11.000Second, let's do more in mental health, especially for our children.
00:54:15.000When millions of young people are struggling with bullying, violence, trauma, we owe them greater access to mental health care at their schools.
00:54:22.000We must finally hold social media companies accountable for experimenting they're doing, running children for profit.
00:54:30.000It's time to pass bipartisan legislation to stop big tech from collecting personal data on our kids.
00:54:38.000Cheat editors online, ban targeted advertising of children, and impose stricter limits on the personal data that companies collect on all of us.
00:54:49.000Third, let's do more to keep this nation's one truly sacred obligation to equip those we send into harm's way and care for them and their families when they come home.
00:54:59.000Job training, job placement for veterans and their spouses as they come to return to civilian life.
00:55:06.000Helping veterans afford the rent because no one should be homeless in America, especially someone who served the country.
00:56:12.000And fourth, last year Jill and I reignited the cancer moonshot that I was able to start with President Obama asking me to lead our administration on this issue.
00:56:23.000Our goal is to cut the cancer death rates at least by 50% in the next 25 years.
00:56:29.000Turn more cancers from death sentences to treatable diseases.
00:56:34.000Provide more support for patients and their families.
00:56:37.000It's personal to so many of us, so many of us in this audience.
00:56:42.000Joining us are Morris and Candice, an Irishman and the daughter of immigrants from Panama.
00:56:49.000They met and fell in love in New York City and got married in the same chapel Jill and I got married in New York City.
00:57:58.000They just found out Ava's beating the odds, is on her way to being cured of cancer.
00:58:05.000And she's watching from the White House tonight and she's not asleep already.
00:58:09.000For the lives we can save... For the lives we can save and the lives we've lost...
00:58:23.000Let this be a truly American moment that rallies the country and the world together and proves that we can still do big things.
00:58:32.000Twenty years ago, under the leadership of President Bush and countless advocates and champions, he undertook a bipartisan effort through PEPFAR to transform the global fight against HIV AIDS.
00:59:23.000The last few years, our democracy has been threatened and attacked.
00:59:25.000Without democracy, nothing is possible.
00:59:28.000Put to the test in this very room on January the 6th.
00:59:31.000And then just a few months ago... Hey, that was me.
00:59:34.000An unhinged, big lie assailed and unleashed a political violence at the home of the then Speaker of the House of Representatives.
00:59:44.000Using the very same language the insurrectionists used as they stalked these halls and chanted on January 6th.
00:59:51.000Here tonight in this chamber is the man who bears the scars of that brutal attack, but is as tough and as strong and resilient as they get.
01:01:07.000My fellow Americans, we meet tonight at an inflection point, one of those moments that only a few generations ever face, with the direction
01:06:03.000It's become like, it's like self-referential.
01:06:08.000We used to say that the United States was great because we had this government that was created through reason, and we had these people here, we had like a great stock of people, and it was ingenuity, and we had a great system, and took pride in our work, and all, you know, whatever you want to say, and now it's like, well, what is the evidence that we're great?
01:06:33.000And the other thing is this, um, it really is like Empire Strikes Back.
01:06:38.000The entire Biden administration, specifically with the rallying of NATO, it is like the Empire Strikes Back.
01:06:46.000All these themes, because it wasn't like this under Obama.
01:06:52.000But Biden is really asserting very strongly this theme of our democracy and democracy in the world against the so-called autocracies because it totally wasn't like that with the last Democratic administration.
01:07:08.000Under Obama, he was with Raul Castro and they did the Russia reset and things like that.
01:07:20.000And now after everything that happened with Trump, it's like the whole neocon deep state has come back together to crush the domestic resistance as well as the rising non-American coalition in the world.
01:07:57.000In the Soviet Union, you could say that communism was like a stand-in for the party, for like a particular group of people running a particular institution that wielded power on a global scale.
01:08:12.000It's like, is it really about democracy?
01:08:15.000Because if it were, the biggest threats to democracy are big tech, massive corruption, those kinds of things.
01:08:25.000But instead they portray the real threats to democracy, of course, as misinformation, which is really like citizen journalism and dissenting political opinions and things like that.
01:08:40.000It's actually like the opposite of democracy.
01:08:44.000So they say democracy, and that's supposed to be a catch-all for openness, freedom, liberalism,
01:08:55.000But, in fact, it means none of those things, and it doesn't even mean democracy.
01:08:58.000What it really means is, like, the so-called democratic institutions.
01:09:04.000What they really mean is the institutions.
01:09:20.000And so Biden is more like a, more than anything, he's just like a cheerleader for the status quo, is what he represents.
01:09:30.000When he says, we're America, we're a democracy, when he says remember who we are, like remember that we're the United States, it's an appeal to people's sense of
01:09:42.000America being a great country basically before, basically like before Obama even.
01:09:49.000Because Obama really created a lot of these problems.
01:09:53.000Obama comes in with the culture war stuff and it's so divisive and it creates this white lash like Van Jones said, which is true in some sense.
01:10:53.000Because he talks about a lot of this, he does talk about a lot of the stuff that Trump does.
01:10:57.000He's patriotic, he talks about basically protectionism, when he talks about, for example, the CHIP Act, and he talks about Buy American, Hire American, that's straight from the Trump playbook.
01:11:12.000And he talks about reducing the deficit, and talks about, when he talks about immigration, he talks about border security, but also
01:12:14.000In the spring and summer, it was the highest monthly numbers for those months ever, like the highest monthly total for the month of May in history, and the highest monthly total for the month of June in history, and then I think recently it was just the highest month ever, period.
01:12:30.000And so we know that, of course, when you do the State of the Union, it's presented as something that's supposed to be unifying and it's supposed to be an appeal to really everybody.
01:12:41.000And so that's why it seems more balanced.
01:12:43.000But, you know, Biden has governed in a way is very radical.
01:12:49.000But the presentation consistently, and I think Biden does this deliberately, is trying to appeal to kind of like what the 90s were like, basically, even though that's not really the case.
01:13:03.000You know, I don't think that Biden is as unpopular as conservatives think.
01:13:08.000You know, and I think Scott Greer wrote an article about this in revolt.
01:13:15.000Conservatives are totally divorced from reality, and the biggest evidence of that, or one of the best examples of that, was they thought there would be this red wave that came from this massive unpopularity of Biden, and it just really wasn't true.
01:13:35.000I don't think that Biden is totally unpopular.
01:13:39.000I don't think that he is somebody that people love, but I also don't think that he's somebody that people hate.
01:13:47.000In other words, Biden doesn't really activate the conservatives.
01:13:51.000I don't think that there's so much antipathy towards Biden that it's driving this massive turnout from conservatives and from independents that don't like him.
01:14:01.000I think that a lot of people think that he's inoffensive and basically acceptable.
01:14:06.000Except for, you know, people played up the fuck Joe Biden thing and all that.
01:14:13.000It's not to say that it's not out there, but I think it's overstated how much of that there really is.
01:14:18.000I think that a lot of people, it's sort of like in the same way, in a similar way, there was a shy Trump vote in 2016 of people that supported Trump but didn't want to say it.
01:14:29.000I don't want to say it's the same thing with Biden, but I do think there are a lot of people who
01:14:37.000Perhaps they don't want to admit it as maybe more left-wing, or even people that are more right-wing in the middle, or maybe more conservative.
01:14:47.000I think that they welcome the stability.
01:14:50.000I think that they welcome the establishment and the regime coming back to power because it's more peaceful.
01:15:24.000And I think there are a lot of people, specifically women, that just didn't like that.
01:15:28.000And I think that's why they like Biden.
01:15:32.000So, um, I mean, I find it hard to hate Biden as a guy because he's just like an old school white guy.
01:15:42.000He seems like an old school white guy who loves his family and seems like a decent person.
01:15:49.000He's left wing so I don't think he has decent...
01:15:52.000Positions like him wanting to protect abortion is is abhorrent of course and his position on LGBT and those kinds of things but it's hard for me to hate him because he seems like a Seems like a nice guy seems like he's a little off I also think that the extent to which he's retarded is maybe overstated too I was thinking for a long time that
01:16:17.000He was going to become completely incomprehensible and incoherent during the first term, like in short order, but he's hanging on.
01:16:34.000So, I don't know if I'm just being a contrarian because conservatives are so anti-Biden, have we really come full circle that now I'm like, you know what, Biden's not that bad.
01:16:43.000I'm not saying that Biden's not that bad, I'm saying on a very narrow way, I think that conservatives have to rethink the strategy here.
01:16:51.000Because I don't think that Biden is unlikable.
01:16:54.000And I think that as far as the rhetoric goes, you know, it gets the job done.
01:16:59.000He's not the most eloquent speaker, but he's got some charisma and he's, he is likable actually.
01:17:05.000And he's not, he hasn't totally, uh, lost his mind like a lot of conservatives have acted like for the last like five years or, you know, four or three years, whatever it is.
01:18:12.000Because there's so much going on behind him too.
01:18:15.000So like, for example, when Marjorie Taylor Greene is jumping up and down like a chimpanzee in the chamber and screaming and hollering about China!
01:18:27.000It's like, that is actually just so off-putting to me.
01:18:30.000It's actually more off-putting to me than Biden.
01:18:32.000Because Biden actually has a sensible policy towards China.
01:18:36.000It's like what I said on my show last night.
01:18:39.000When he says, we want to meet China as a competitor and work with them where we can, but if they provoke us, then we respond, you know, that's actually an appropriate position.
01:18:49.000I mean, that's actually rhetoric which is far more in alignment with my position than what the hysterical conservatives are saying on Fox News.
01:19:01.000Trump and Biden actually probably agree on China.
01:19:04.000Trump said something similar the other day, which I talked about on my show, but it's frankly, Tucker, and it's Hannity, and it's Fox, and it's the neocons that have the, and Marge, and even people like Alex Jones and others that have this hysterical rhetoric that the chi-coms are taking over everything and Biden won't do anything about it because of Hunter, and it's just like a fever dream.
01:19:30.000It is a total concoction that was created by cable news that just isn't even real.
01:19:37.000You know, Marjorie, I saw she gave a statement for Breitbart earlier tonight before the speech, and she's walking around with her prop, with her balloon, which is just so, like, just clownish.
01:19:48.000And she said, Americans are telling me that they're terrified.
01:19:53.000And it's like, what Americans are afraid of a fucking balloon?
01:20:00.000What conservatives think that that's the biggest problem?
01:20:05.000And specifically for it to be a surveillance issue is crazy.
01:20:11.000Because the real, as we know, the real surveillance problem in America is the FBI.
01:20:17.000The real surveillance problem is our own intelligence community and our own DOJ with the Mar-a-Lago raid and all that business.
01:20:26.000So, what I'm trying to say is, this plays into the problem on the right, which is, since Trump has taken a backseat and he's really not been in the spotlight for the last couple of years, he's been coming back and his messaging has been, I think, getting better, specifically over the last six weeks.
01:20:47.000But as Trump has taken the backseat and kind of been, not to mix metaphors, but put on the sidelines, you've seen this total resurgence of basically what the GOP was before Trump.
01:20:59.000You see this revanchist, establishment GOP.
01:21:05.000And it's led by the people that we were led to believe were supposed to be anti-establishment, or the successors or the inheritors of the Trump legacy.
01:21:17.000And I'm talking about people like Marjorie, and I'm talking about people like Tucker.
01:21:24.000Trump is, when he came around in 15 and 16, he was against not just the Dems and the radical left, he was against the whole system.
01:21:34.000And now that he's not in the equation so much, again up until very recently, and even his messaging was very bad up until very recently, now you have these people that we thought were going to be carrying the torch forward and taking it further than Trump did.
01:22:17.000Sycophant behavior, the anti-Iran hysteria, as well as this new obsession with the budget and with inflation.
01:22:28.000Just like before, it really is hardly any different than Paul Ryan's obsession with, like, Ayn Rand and the Freedom Caucus and the fiscal conservatives.
01:23:34.000George Bush, cowboy stuff against the axis of evil, which is now China, Iran, and apparently Russia too, if Mitch McConnell's wearing the Ukraine tie.
01:23:47.000So the point is, when I see a speech like this, it reminds me I'm not a Democrat or a Republican, okay?
01:23:57.000That's the most important thing in this time right now, in this very confusing, leaderless, transitional period, is to not get caught back up in the game.
01:24:15.000The biggest thing is, you watch this speech, you watch this propaganda, and I see so many people falling into this trap of becoming dutiful Republicans again.
01:24:27.000Trump started this revolution, and people are just so ready to sign back up, and vote in the midterms, and vote for the Republicans, and fight on the budget, and they're gonna hate Biden on command.
01:24:42.000And like, I'm just not going to do that.
01:24:44.000I mean, I'm not like a Biden supporter.
01:25:02.000They're part of a completely compromised and corrupt system, and they all have to be replaced.
01:25:08.000So when Biden says some of these good things, like, hey, we're gonna go after junk fees, and we're gonna go after Big Tech and protect your privacy, that's great!
01:25:51.000It's interesting because there's no, where's the vision?
01:25:56.000What could you say based on that speech was the unified vision and theme?
01:26:02.000That's the problem above all with our country is not only does it not have a leader, but it also doesn't have any sense of a unifying purpose or vision.
01:26:13.000And it's embodied in the campaigns and the speeches.
01:26:18.000And you notice this with all the others.
01:26:20.000I think that's why Trump was successful.
01:26:21.000Because Trump, whether you're right or left, he was offering actually like a tangible, clear vision.
01:26:30.000He said, we're going to make America great again.
01:27:11.000Policy to policy and it's here's a little stuff about cancer and here's a little stuff about junk fees and here's a little thing about insulin and here's a little thing about the border and by the way we're doing something about this and we're gonna do a little of that.
01:27:28.000And the most that you could get towards the end, I thought they wrapped it up very hastily.
01:27:33.000There wasn't a lot of rhetoric in here.
01:27:41.000There wasn't a lot of flowery, ornate, wasn't a lot of, you know, he didn't really set any themes or anything.
01:27:50.000It was just a lot of, it was just sort of like a big list.
01:27:54.000Really, like, in defense of his record, maybe more than anything.
01:27:57.000You know, there was a little bit of that towards the end about, hey, democracy, we can't do anything without democracy, and everything we can do is cause a democracy, and tied that in with the Capitol, and with the attack on Paul Pelosi.
01:35:23.000Republicans believe in an America where strong families thrive in safe communities, where jobs are abundant and paychecks are rising, where the freedom our veterans shed their blood to defend is the birthright of every man, woman, and child.
01:35:43.000These are the principles Republican governors are fighting for.
01:35:47.000And in Washington, under the leadership of Senate Republicans and Speaker Kevin McCarthy, we will hold the Biden administration accountable.
01:35:58.000Down the street from where I sit is my alma mater, Little Rock Central High.
01:38:16.000With fucking barbecue sauce all over her face.
01:38:43.000My husband Brian and I had just cleaned up wrapping paper that was shoved into every corner of our house, thanks to our three kids, when I had to walk out on my own family's Christmas, unable to tell them where I was going that night, because the place I'd be traveling was so dangerous, they didn't want anybody to know that the President was going to be on the ground, even for a few hours.
01:41:22.000And in a moment that I know I'll cherish for the rest of my life, that soldier reached up and he pulled the brave rifle's patch he wore on his shoulder, and he placed it into my hand, a sign of ultimate respect.
01:41:43.000Overwhelmed with emotion and speechless, I just hugged him with tears in my eyes and a grateful heart for our heroes who keep us free.
01:41:55.000That young man and everyone who has served before him, all of those who serve alongside him, and the thousands we know who will be called upon to serve after him.
01:43:39.000What did I literally... Did... Am I not, like, such a genius?
01:43:42.000I'm not even really trying here, like, I'm tired, my neck hurts, I didn't even really want to do the stream, I watched a lame speech, I'm half messing with the audio, half watching, and at the end I said, well, I said, here's the problem, I said, it highlights how the Republican Party is reasserting itself, the establishment's reasserting itself, it's the same GOP like it was before Trump,
01:44:07.000And then we get this hillbilly to come on and say, our heroes in Iraq, our heroes in our freedom, and the bad, the feckless Biden administration showing weakness to our enemies.
01:44:23.000It's like, dude, could you be any more fucking out of touch?
01:44:42.000So the best that we could hope for is a competent government that could protect the people's interest, protect the public interest against powerful private interest and against the interest of foreign countries.
01:44:57.000And you want the government to be, uh, you want them to not overreach, you know, okay, you know, you don't want the government to be too whatever, but, you know, the idea that it's like, man, I walk outside the house and I can't catch a break from government regulators, it's like, I don't even know if that's really even true.
01:45:25.000Like, when I think of all the problems in my life, of which there are many, like, big government just isn't one of them.
01:45:32.000I live in California now, and there's a lot of bullshit that I have to put up with, like, you know, they charge you for a plastic bag, and like,
01:45:40.000You have to ask for a stride in and out and all that.
01:45:43.000But it's like, this is probably the state where the government is overreaching the most.
01:45:47.000And I'm not, I'm basically not even affected.
01:45:53.000It's like the crime is out of control here.
01:45:55.000The homelessness, we need, if anything, we need more government.
01:45:59.000If anything, we need more armed government soldiers on the street, restricting everybody's freedom to steal and be homeless and all the rest.
01:46:10.000So, I mean, for that to be the response, Biden gives a speech, and the democracy thing is cringe, okay, but he says, you know, listen, we're gonna go after junk fees.
01:46:21.000The junk fees... I'm a huge proponent of this.
01:46:24.000The junk fees thing is brilliant because it's something that is tangible that everybody... And it's one of those things that people think it just has to be that way, but it actually doesn't, and the government could just ban it.
01:46:39.000And things like that, talking about cancer and talking about junk fees and talking about privacy and big tech, these are all things that actually affect people.
01:46:49.000And talking about healthcare and immigration and the other issues that he talked about, again, those are things that actually affect people.
01:46:58.000To go and give a speech and say, hey, we're the rootinest tootinest from big government out of our lives, it just, it's totally, doesn't resonate.
01:47:34.000Like, they think both sides think the other's crazy and probably most people are actually down with, like, transgenders, if you want to know the truth.
01:47:43.000The things that we think are crazy, most people think are okay.
01:47:47.000Most people are totally on board with gay marriage.
01:47:49.000Most people are totally on board with trannies.
01:48:35.000It's just like, there's little parts of it that they dispute.
01:48:39.000It's little, you know, they're like, well, we just think this goes too far, maybe that goes too far, this one's a lol cow or whatever.
01:48:46.000That appeal, and I've said this before, it's like Josh Hawley in that hearing.
01:48:51.000It's like Josh Hawley when he was in that Senate hearing with that black professor and she said that like men could get pregnant and he was like wow just wow and it's like yeah no like they run the country and that's what they believe and if you think that to just chortle and say huh them Democrats are crazy it's like well you know
01:49:12.000The Capitol siege happened and you know Trump Trump's pretty off the wall like it's just not that effective so the the idea that all these uh that that messaging is gonna come across to young people or average people and they're all gonna be like
01:50:34.000Like, that should be the messaging instead of this aloof, like, uh, because it's the smug, aloof, you know, like, well, we're not even going to give them reaction.
01:50:44.000Well, it's just between normal and crazy.
01:55:16.000Man, you know, I love Biden's speech about buying American, hiring American, producing semiconductors and chips and reducing the price of insulin and going after junk fees and not going to war with China.
01:55:30.000But you know, Sarah Huckabee Sanders talking about our boys over there on Christmas.
01:55:35.000And big government and Little Rock Nine.
01:55:37.000And, you know, as a young person, as a fellow young person like her, that just resonated with me.
01:56:20.000Really for like, there was no reason that any of that should have happened.
01:56:24.000And then on their 23rd State of the Union, this is kind of like the first thing they could do since the Trump announcement to set the stage for the next cycle, and they trot out Mike fucking Huckabee's daughter.
01:56:39.000Mike Huckabee, host of Huckabee on Fox News, who plays the bass guitar at the end of his show.
02:00:30.000Nothing wrong with farming, nothing wrong with being a farmer, but, like, this hill people, you know, this smug, arms-folded, uh, you know, whatever, you know, it's just not gonna work, man.
02:00:47.000We're living in the 21st century, pal.
02:00:56.000That's your gal there, Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
02:01:37.000That's a big reason why I love Paul Town because he's got the same like he's now he's from New York he thinks New York is better than anywhere so we disagree on that but but I respect it because like you know what New York is the biggest city it is the American metropolis it is the American mega megalopolis okay so I respect it
02:01:59.000He likes Jay-Z better than Ye, whatever.
02:02:03.000But I love that about him, that he has an arrogance because he's from a big city and he knows people that kill people and stuff like that.
02:04:37.000You know, and I was thinking about other people who made other decisions and, you know, they prioritize the money or their career or their YouTube channel, whatever.
02:04:49.000And it's like, we make money and we maintain channels and things like that to do this.
