00:01:41.000 As always, we are in the chair today.
00:01:43.000 Thank you, Alex Marlowe, for filling in yesterday.
00:01:46.000 My conversation with Gavin Newsom will be posting tomorrow, and we are going to be giving you exclusive analysis all about my back and forth with the governor of the largest U.S. state.
00:01:58.000 So that is a reason to subscribe to the Charlie Kirk Show podcast and make sure you tune in tomorrow.
00:02:03.000 Also tomorrow, I will be at Cal State Northridge.
00:02:07.000 Which I'm told is a very liberal school.
00:02:09.000 They're anticipating a lot of protests, a lot of La Raza, Students for Justice of Palestine.
00:02:14.000 So our security is going to have their work cut out for them.
00:02:18.000 Last night, we streamed pretty late here on Real America's Voice and also all of our streaming platforms.
00:02:24.000 Our reaction to the speech last night, not the State of the Union, but Donald Trump's address to Congress.
00:02:31.000 Now, it says in the U.S. Constitution that the president shall give a joint address to Congress.
00:02:37.000 And this was a joint session of Congress, not technically a State of the Union.
00:02:42.000 You know, State of the Unions used to be delivered, just a fun little tidbit.
00:02:45.000 They used to be written.
00:02:47.000 It's a new phenomenon actually of State of the Unions given orally.
00:02:53.000 Usually it was written and delivered to the Speaker of the House and say, here, read all that we've done.
00:02:58.000 We've changed a lot as a society with television, digital broadcasting.
00:03:02.000 Feels like the president has been, President Trump has been there for well over a year, two years.
00:03:07.000 He's only been in office for six months.
00:03:10.000 When he was sworn into office, we had no border.
00:03:13.000 One of the greatest accomplishments that he has been able to celebrate is that we have a secure border.
00:03:20.000 There's nobody invading our country anymore. 0.98
00:03:22.000 It doesn't happen.
00:03:23.000 It's gone.
00:03:24.000 There is no more southern border invasion.
00:03:29.000 He has been president for six weeks.
00:03:34.000 And we have a country that is bubbling back to life.
00:03:41.000 Now, I want to play some of the highlights here, but upon further reflection, these events, these joint sessions of Congress, are largely political theater.
00:03:51.000 You stand up for the stuff you like.
00:03:53.000 You sit down for the stuff you like.
00:03:54.000 But traditionally, everybody stands up during the agreeable stuff.
00:04:01.000 You stand up for the stuff where if you don't applaud, You could look kind of bad.
00:04:06.000 So, of course, the Democrats, they stayed seated when Donald Trump said we had a secure southern border.
00:04:11.000 He stayed seated when he was talking about how he was marshalling resources to underserved communities that were struck by wildfires.
00:04:20.000 They, of course, the Democrats refused to applaud during Donald Trump's moment saying that he wanted to broker peace with Ukraine.
00:04:30.000 And optics really matter here.
00:04:34.000 Went to a whole different level.
00:04:36.000 The Democrats were, of course, trying to interrupt him throughout his entire speech.
00:04:40.000 You had Al Green with his rod trying to interrupt Donald Trump.
00:04:47.000 It's important that we recognize and we realize that the Democrats don't just have a political problem.
00:05:00.000 The Democrats do not just have a policy problem.
00:05:04.000 There is a spiritual sickness that has infected the Democrat Party.
00:05:08.000 And I don't say that lightly.
00:05:10.000 You know, usually the political theater, okay, it is what it is.
00:05:14.000 It went to a whole different level last night.
00:05:16.000 A whole different level.
00:05:17.000 And it takes a lot for me to say this.
00:05:20.000 President Trump had this amazing moment with a young man by the name of DJ Daniel.
00:05:27.000 DJ Daniel is a 13-year-old battling cancer.
00:05:30.000 D.J. Daniel has always wanted to be a law enforcement officer, and he's been sworn in as a ceremonial law enforcement officer with police departments across the country.
00:05:39.000 He lifts people's spirits.
00:05:40.000 He has an amazing smile.
00:05:42.000 Who could not support D.J. Daniel?
00:05:45.000 So before I get into the inspiring moment that happened last night at the joint session of Congress, here is D.J. Daniel's story.
00:05:54.000 Playcut 141. What you want to know, the craziest part?
00:05:58.000 Because my mom, babe, me and my brothers all together.
00:06:01.000 And out of nowhere, I locked up.
00:06:02.000 And then my dad was calling my name, and I started going to the slow thing.
00:06:06.000 And he said, stop playing with me.
00:06:08.000 And I started to act slow.
00:06:11.000 And then as soon as he said that, we was speeding all the way, running lights, going to the hospital.
00:06:18.000 And then next thing you know, I was seasoned on the table.
00:06:20.000 They said, nah, we're going to have to go in his brain tonight.
00:06:22.000 Ever since then, I had 13 brain surgeries, and that's how many times my personality has changed.
00:06:28.000 And that's something that you don't hear from a terminal child.
00:06:31.000 They have five months to live.
00:06:33.000 I'm going to keep on going until my gas tanks run out.
00:06:35.000 And that's when God calls you home.
00:06:37.000 You never know when God's going to call you home.
00:06:39.000 I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my dad.
00:06:41.000 I know he's pretty proud of me, and I'm pretty proud of him, too.
00:06:44.000 And I'd like to thank President Trump, because if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here today.
00:06:51.000 I'm not crying.
00:06:52.000 You're crying.
00:06:53.000 I mean, it's beyond a tearjerker.
00:06:55.000 It moves you at a level of the soul.
00:06:58.000 It's not political.
00:06:59.000 It's what makes us human beings.
00:07:01.000 It is a moment that should bring the country together, not divide it, no matter how much you hate Trump.
00:07:07.000 So here's President Trump in a now very viral moment appointing 13-year-old DJ Daniel to be an honorary member of the U.S. Secret Service.
00:07:19.000 Play Cut 130. In 2018, D.J. was diagnosed with brain cancer.
00:07:25.000 The doctors gave him five months at most to live.
00:07:30.000 That was more than six years ago.
00:07:33.000 Since that time, D.J. and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true, and D.J. has been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer actually a number of times.
00:07:47.000 The police love him.
00:07:48.000 The police departments love him.
00:07:50.000 And tonight, DJ, we're going to do you the biggest honor of them all.
00:07:55.000 I am asking our new Secret Service director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret Service.
00:08:05.000 Thank you.
00:08:35.000 That's a kid with brain cancer who might not be around much longer.
00:08:41.000 Thank you.
00:08:42.000 Everybody at home loved it.
00:08:44.000 But look who didn't.
00:08:46.000 That's the Democrats.
00:08:48.000 During that exact moment, when President Trump was celebrating the ceremonial promotion of DJ Daniel, they are sitting, scowling with bitterness.
00:09:01.000 Everybody, we are not the same.
00:09:03.000 We're not built the same.
00:09:04.000 We don't see the world the same.
00:09:06.000 I hate talking like this.
00:09:08.000 I don't know what has infected the base of the Democrat Party, but it can only be an invisible dark force that could be called whatever you want.
00:09:22.000 Demonic, satanic.
00:09:25.000 You could fill in the dots.
00:09:28.000 But they hate you, and they hate the country, and they hate us so much that they also hate 13-year-olds with brain cancer.
00:09:36.000 Now, there's no spin, by the way.
00:09:39.000 Show that picture again.
00:09:40.000 Show the picture.
00:09:42.000 I want one media pundit and one member of the Democrat Party to show me that is your Democrat Party.
00:09:50.000 Republicans would always stand during the ceremonial agreeable stuff when Joe Biden would do similar stuff like this.
00:09:56.000 Political pageantry is normal.
00:09:58.000 What is not normal is for an entire political party to stay seated.
00:10:05.000 During a non-political, humane moment that elevates us and thinks about the beautiful things because the Democrat Party is ugly to the core.
00:10:16.000 There is a spiritual cancer in the Democrat Party.
00:10:21.000 A sickness that is beyond what we're able to describe in words.
00:10:25.000 They are darker than anything we have ever realized.
00:10:29.000 Praise the Lord that we won and they can never get close to power because they would not even put two hands together to applaud the kid with brain cancer.
00:10:41.000 There's something demented about your party, Democrats.
00:10:47.000 Demented to the core.
00:10:48.000 And it's not just that three people didn't stand.
00:10:51.000 Your entire party stays seated.
00:10:56.000 You guys need an exorcism.
00:10:58.000 And a reckoning.
00:10:59.000 You guys need something a lot greater than just a political reckoning.
00:11:03.000 There is an unseen force that I never thought we'd see in our country.
00:11:12.000 You want to see good versus evil?
00:11:14.000 There it is.
00:11:17.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:11:19.000 The numbers don't lie.
00:11:20.000 The impact that Balance of Nature makes every single day is astounding.
00:11:23.000 You can see the numbers for yourself on their website at balanceofnature.com.
00:11:27.000 Listen to these stats concerning Balance of Nature's worldwide success.
00:11:30.000 More than a thousand success stores reported each month.
00:11:34.000 Hundreds of thousands of customers worldwide.
00:11:36.000 Millions of orders delivered each year.
00:11:38.000 And billions, yes billions of fruits and veggie supplements consumed by people who have decided to start living better.
00:11:44.000 There's only one thing missing and that is you.
00:11:46.000 That is balanceofnature.com.
00:12:19.000 It's not just the Democrat lawmakers.
00:12:23.000 Post-State of the Union, Nicole Wallace, who is a very disturbed individual, very dark.
00:12:30.000 And it seems to be that the further left you go, it becomes an all-encompassing life destroyer where the party of joy seems to be chugging antidepressants.
00:12:48.000 They're strong on the Benzos and the Prozac.
00:12:51.000 There's a spiritual sickness in the Democrat Party.
00:12:53.000 Can we put that 160 up on screen?
00:12:56.000 And I have a non-sarcastic question.
00:12:58.000 How many of the Democrats that are seated, which is all of them, regularly go to church and believe that there is a God?
00:13:06.000 Or a synagogue or whatever.
00:13:09.000 How many of those people do you think would write that God is a top priority in their life?
00:13:17.000 I've had a lot of them would write government as a top priority in their life.
00:13:21.000 The state is a top priority in their life.
00:13:24.000 The bureaucracy is a top priority in their life.
00:13:28.000 If you are ever asked by liberal friends or relatives or Democrats, oh, you know, we all want the same thing.
00:13:35.000 No, we don't.
00:13:37.000 The Democrats want something profoundly different than we do.
00:13:42.000 And they will not even stand out of their chair.
00:13:45.000 It's just fine.
00:13:45.000 If you don't believe it, just pretend.
00:13:47.000 They can't even pretend to support the kid with brain cancer.
00:13:52.000 But it wasn't just them.
00:13:54.000 This is Nicole Wallace.
00:13:56.000 And Nicole Wallace needs professional help. 0.99
00:13:58.000 She needs a whole team of people. 0.99
00:14:00.000 She's got to go to Switzerland. 0.58
00:14:01.000 She's got to get a whole workup. 1.00
00:14:02.000 She's got to have a whole committee working on her for a couple months. 1.00
00:14:06.000 She needs the whole... 1.00
00:14:09.000 Operation there.
00:14:10.000 They got to do blood work.
00:14:11.000 They got to do brain scans.
00:14:12.000 There's something really deep and dark about her.
00:14:15.000 Because you just don't go on TV and say something like this.
00:14:18.000 You don't.
00:14:19.000 She started off good.
00:14:21.000 She started off fine.
00:14:22.000 And then, boom!
00:14:24.000 She pivots into, I think, one of the more repulsive things I've ever seen on television, actually. 0.97
00:14:31.000 And that says something.
00:14:33.000 This is the Democrat Party.
00:14:35.000 This is their official communications arm.
00:14:37.000 This is who the Democrats listen to, the show they go on to.
00:14:41.000 Play Cut 143. I think this was a lesson in finding one thing that you let yourself feel, and I let myself feel joy about DJ, and I hope he's alive for another, you know, 95 years, right?
00:14:58.000 And I hope he lives.
00:15:00.000 And the life he wants to live.
00:15:02.000 He wants to be a cop.
00:15:03.000 He knows what he wants to do.
00:15:04.000 And maybe when you have childhood cancer, that crystallizes for you.
00:15:07.000 And I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer.
00:15:11.000 But I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump supporters.
00:15:15.000 And if he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide.
00:15:20.000 And I hope he isn't one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then lived to see Donald Trump pardon those people.
00:15:29.000 Who thinks like this?
00:15:35.000 As I said earlier, I don't get speechless quite often.
00:15:39.000 This is the state of the Democrat Party.
00:15:42.000 She's wishing that a 13-year-old with brain cancer doesn't commit suicide, that he doesn't have to testify, making some sort of bizarre connection to January 6th.
00:15:53.000 To this young man who just had this amazing moment.
00:15:56.000 She started off fine, and then all of a sudden a different programming set got put in.
00:16:00.000 As if the files got mixed up.
00:16:04.000 As if there was just a glitch.
00:16:06.000 She was like, my programming tells me I must say something agreeable, and then boom!
00:16:11.000 As if there was just kind of a programming error.
00:16:14.000 And she goes into... 0.58
00:16:16.000 I mean, she of course should be taken off air, but more than that, she should be watched very closely.
00:16:22.000 It's very, very dark.
00:16:24.000 And I mean, that is dark stuff.
00:16:26.000 I mean, that would be dark if just like a random YouTuber said that.
00:16:30.000 Or like a random person on the side of the street.
00:16:32.000 This is a woman with a news broadcast show that lawmakers go on. 1.00
00:16:37.000 And of course, all the media outlets say Republicans pounce on MSNBC host. 0.99
00:16:43.000 Right-wingers pounce.
00:16:45.000 This is the Independent.
00:16:46.000 MAGA loses its mind over Nicole Wallace's sickening comments.
00:16:53.000 The Daily Mail, to their credit, said, Nicole Wallace gives sickening take on 13-year-olds with terminal cancer. 0.76
00:17:00.000 It's the Democrat Party that has this spiritual cancer.
00:17:04.000 And they need to get that tumor removed for the betterment of the country.

00:18:17.000 Joining us now is a great man and a great senator from Indiana, Senator Jim Banks.
00:18:24.000 Senator, great to see you.
00:18:26.000 Your reaction of the speech last evening in front of Congress.
00:18:29.000 Hey, Charlie.
00:18:30.000 It was the best speech I've ever heard by a great president who's given many great speeches before.
00:18:34.000 He not only broke the record for the longest speech before a joint address, but he owned the Democrats.
00:18:42.000 They looked foolish.
00:18:44.000 They look stupid sitting on their hands, not clapping for what the president talked about in so many ways, making this country great again.
00:18:52.000 They don't love our country like we do.
00:18:54.000 And they proved it last night in their reaction.
00:18:57.000 It was a great night for the president, a great night for America, for Republicans.
00:19:02.000 And it's just we're just a short time into this second term for this president.
00:19:06.000 We have a long ways to go.
00:19:07.000 A lot more winning to come.
00:19:09.000 You know, I'll say that the it didn't feel long.
00:19:13.000 It felt like it had a great flow.
00:19:16.000 Kept everyone on the edge of their seat.
00:19:18.000 Senator, the Democrats, excluding one person, there was one woman in red that stood up, decided to just ignore and not applaud DJ Daniel, the 13-year-old with brain cancer, who got awarded there.
00:19:31.000 I mean, Senator, do any of your colleagues mention that afterwards?
00:19:34.000 I mean, how is this, how are you supposed to do business with people that don't even applaud a kid with brain cancer?
00:19:41.000 Help the audience understand.
00:19:43.000 Well, it's a sickness on their part.
00:19:45.000 I mean, they hate this president so much that they won't get up and clap for a 13-year-old boy, a very special moment that President Trump created last night.
00:19:55.000 Every one of them should have been on their feet.
00:19:57.000 And Charlie, let me say this.
00:19:58.000 When Joe Biden walked out and when they announced the president of the United States of America before the state of the union's on his watch, every Republican got up and clapped, not for Joe Biden.
00:20:11.000 But for the position of the President of the United States of America.
00:20:14.000 Those Democrats sat on their hands.
00:20:16.000 They disrespected the President.
00:20:18.000 They disrespected our country.
00:20:20.000 And in that case, they disrespected the life of a 13-year-old boy.
00:20:24.000 I'll tell you what, one moment I saw, because I was on the far right side, on the Republican side, and I could see the Democrats across.
00:20:34.000 I saw one senator when President Trump talked about capturing the terrorist who was the mastermind behind the Abbey Gate attack that killed 13 of our heroes.
00:20:43.000 And by the way, none of the Democrats clapped for that either.
00:20:46.000 I mean, how can you not clap for that?
00:20:47.000 I saw one Democrat look to the Democrat to his right and say, we should stand up.
00:20:52.000 You can see him mouthing it.
00:20:54.000 We should be standing up.
00:20:55.000 And they were all shaking their heads.
00:20:57.000 No, we have to stay seated.
00:20:59.000 That's how foolish...
00:21:01.000 There's not a line that came out of President Trump's mouth last night that 75% or more of Americans don't agree with.
00:21:10.000 There was nothing controversial last night that he said he was speaking to the American people.
00:21:15.000 Everything that came out of his mouth was something that the majority of Americans agree with, and the Democrats wouldn't stand up for it.
00:21:23.000 Donald Trump has broken the Democrat Party.
00:21:25.000 They are beyond repair, and just how foolish they looked last night is something that's going to linger over them for a long time to come.
00:21:35.000 Views of Trump's speech, let's put this up on screen.
00:21:38.000 I've been around this space for about 13 years.
00:21:40.000 I'm just drawing from memory.
00:21:42.000 It is very rare to have a 76% approval rating of a joint session of speech to Congress.
00:21:49.000 Very rare.
00:21:50.000 Very unusual.
00:21:51.000 If I remember, Biden might be high 50s at the watermark and then maybe low 50s.
00:21:56.000 Even Obama might have been high 60s, low 70s during the high Obama period, then went down from there.
00:22:03.000 We can probably look at other speeches and reactions.
00:22:08.000 That's 76% of Americans that approve President Trump's speech.
00:22:11.000 And the Democrats, instead of at least having some sort of an agreeable attitude...
00:22:16.000 Their bitterness and their sourness towards America is disturbing and it is revealing of a darker sickness that has infected our politics.
00:22:29.000 This is one of my favorite parts of the speech and I want to get your reaction.
00:22:33.000 Senator, some of your colleagues said we need a bipartisan border bill to secure the border.
00:22:37.000 We can't secure the border unless we get a bipartisan border bill.
00:22:41.000 Turns out we actually just needed a new president.
00:22:44.000 Playcut 120. Within hours of taking the oath of office, I declared a national emergency on our southern border, and I deployed the U.S. military and border patrol to repel the invasion of our country.
00:22:59.000 And what a job they've done.
00:23:01.000 As a result, illegal border crossings last month were by far the lowest ever recorded.
00:23:09.000 ever.
00:23:11.000 They heard my words and they chose not to come.
00:23:28.000 Much easier that way.
00:23:30.000 In comparison, under Joe Biden, the worst president in American history, there were hundreds of thousands of illegal crossings a month, and virtually all of them, including murderers, drug dealers, gang members, and people from mental institutions and insane asylums, were released into our country.
00:23:53.000 So, Senator, first, explain all the jeering.
00:23:56.000 Is that the Democrats standing up for Joe Biden?
00:23:59.000 And secondly, the border is now secure.
00:24:04.000 President Trump went on to say, it turns out that we didn't need a bill, we just needed a new president.
00:24:08.000 And we got that in Donald Trump.
00:24:10.000 After he took the oath of office, secure the border, go back to the Remain in Mexico policy, it works.
00:24:17.000 All it took was him being back in office.
00:24:19.000 Making this point last night, looking at the Democrats, they're responsible for the mess at the border.
00:24:23.000 They backed up the worst president in American history for four years, and that's why we have the travesty, the biggest humanitarian crisis at the border ever, the wide-open border, fentanyl killing Americans, all the crime that came with it.
00:24:36.000 It's all the Democrats' fault, and they know it.
00:24:39.000 That's why all they could do was jeer last night.
00:24:43.000 I want to play a piece of tape.
00:24:44.000 Another amazing moment.
00:24:46.000 Let's play Cut 122. And once again, I look at the Democrats in front of me and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud.
00:25:01.000 Nothing I can do.
00:25:03.000 I could find a cure to the most devastating disease, a disease that would wipe out entire nations or announce the answers to the greatest economy in history.
00:25:16.000 Or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded.
00:25:20.000 And these people sitting right here will not clap, will not stand, and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements.
00:25:30.000 They won't do it, no matter what.
00:25:32.000 Five times I've been up here.
00:25:34.000 It's very sad.
00:25:37.000 And it just shouldn't be this way.
00:25:40.000 You will see a conversation that I had with Governor Newsom of California that at times got a little spicy.
00:25:46.000 The premise at times was, hey Charlie, what is the path forward for Democrats?
00:25:50.000 I said, I'm not one to give advice.
00:25:52.000 If only I had the conversation afterwards, I would have said, you know, Governor Newsom, stand up for the kid with brain cancer and applaud.
00:26:03.000 Probably good.
00:26:04.000 You know, some Democrat consultant is about to make a bunch of money, Senator.
00:26:09.000 I'm going to say, you know, next time, guys, when the kid with cancer gets announced, make sure you applaud.
00:26:15.000 Senator, I want to bring this now back to legislative action.
00:26:18.000 What did you hear from the president about legislative agenda?
00:26:24.000 This has not got as much coverage, but tax cuts, because right now we've seen, yes, some really good personnel wins, and thank you for that.
00:26:34.000 We've got to start seeing laws passed so President Trump can start signing bills into law.
00:26:39.000 What's going on here?
00:26:40.000 Well, the first thing has to be to extend the Trump tax cuts on working class families.
00:26:44.000 President Trump talked about that last night.
00:26:46.000 Democrats, again, stayed seated.
00:26:49.000 Republicans stood and cheered because the tax cuts are on working class families and small businesses.
00:26:54.000 It was a mistake in 2017 when Paul Ryan and those others in charge of the House and the Senate made corporate tax rates permanent but didn't make the individual tax rates permanent on working class families.
00:27:06.000 That's what we have to start with.
00:27:07.000 President Trump brought it up.
00:27:08.000 Republicans are unified behind it.
00:27:10.000 It has to happen in the next few weeks in the reconciliation bill.
00:27:14.000 That's where we have to start.
00:27:15.000 But then we have to fund ICE to deport illegal criminals out of our country and back up the efforts to build the wall and secure the border.
00:27:23.000 That's all part of the one big, beautiful bill, the reconciliation package that's going to come out of the Congress soon.
00:27:29.000 Republicans are united more than ever before.
00:27:32.000 You saw it last night on the floor.
00:27:34.000 But we have to unite behind that.
00:27:38.000 Senator, thank you for your time.
00:27:40.000 Any final thoughts for our audience about a minute remaining?
00:27:42.000 Well, the golden age of America has just begun.
00:27:45.000 Last night, I was so proud of our president, the best speech I've ever heard him give.
00:27:49.000 But it also reminds me that we have almost four years— We can't waste a single day.
00:27:56.000 I saw President Trump after the speech.
00:27:58.000 He was upbeat.
00:27:59.000 And he makes that point to Republicans all the time.
00:28:01.000 Do not waste a single day.
00:28:03.000 Let's get it done.
00:28:04.000 We have a lot of work to do.
00:28:05.000 This is just the beginning.
00:28:07.000 Senator, thank you so much.
00:28:08.000 Come back anytime.
00:28:09.000 Excellent work.
00:28:10.000 And let's get that legislative agenda done. 0.89
00:28:11.000 We need more border security.
00:28:13.000 We need more funding for ICE. And we need to liberate the economy from disastrous regulation and high taxation.
00:28:19.000 Thank you.

00:29:23.000 We are in a very unique moment in American politics where the opposition party It's quite a perplexing political strategy.
00:29:43.000 For us, it makes our job quite easy because President Trump just keeps on saying things that are very agreeable that should have wide bipartisan support.
00:29:52.000 For example, cutting all of the waste in our federal budget.
00:29:56.000 One of my favorite moments.
00:29:58.000 Was President Trump going through some of the insane spending that Doge has identified?
00:30:03.000 It's hilarious.
00:30:05.000 It's spot on.
00:30:06.000 And this is why 76% of people who watched the speech loved it.
00:30:10.000 Playcut 119. $40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants.
00:30:17.000 Nobody knows what that is.
00:30:21.000 $8 million to promote LGBTQI+. In the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of.
00:30:33.000 $60 million for indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in Central America.
00:30:41.000 $60 million.
00:30:42.000 $60 million.
00:30:47.000 LGTQI+. President Trump identifying this waste. 0.98
00:30:51.000 We all deserve a government that is more efficient.
00:30:53.000 Who could be against the Department of Government Efficiency?
00:30:57.000 Well, the Democrats can because they value government more than God.
00:31:00.000 They value the state more than family.
00:31:02.000 They value the bureaucracy more than community.
00:31:05.000 For them, the state is their source of meaning.
00:31:08.000 It is their reason for existence.
00:31:11.000 It gives them purpose.
00:31:13.000 It fills the existential void.
00:31:15.000 In Viktor Frankl's book, Man's Search for Meaning, one of the greatest books written over the last hundred years, says that the number one thing outside of food and water that men...
00:31:25.000 Collective men, men and women, mankind, seek.
00:31:29.000 It's not sex.
00:31:30.000 It's not power.
00:31:32.000 But it is meaning.
00:31:33.000 It is the will to meaning.
00:31:35.000 And for Democrats, the state gives them that meaning because they have very disturbing personal lives.
00:31:40.000 They're filled with this dark spiritual sickness, as you can see.
00:31:44.000 And I think that's one of the main reasons why they were so nasty last night.
00:31:48.000 They were nastier than any time during Trump's first term during an equivalent State of the Union or joint session of Congress.
00:31:55.000 Because President Trump never actually went after the rank and file of the bureaucracy during the first term.
00:31:59.000 He did a lot of things they didn't like.
00:32:01.000 They called him a Russian agent.
00:32:02.000 He closed the southern border.
00:32:03.000 He did all these things.
00:32:04.000 But going after the federal bureaucracy, that is their wholly protected class.
00:32:10.000 Play cut 149. $8 million for making mice transgender. 0.64
00:32:19.000 This is real.
00:32:21.000 Meanwhile, Al Green is screaming, I was promised transgender. 0.99
00:32:25.000 Mice.
00:32:27.000 A good off-the-cuff moment here from President Trump.
00:32:31.000 Play cut 125. Over 130,000 people, according to the social security databases, are age over 160 years old.
00:32:46.000 We have a healthier country than I thought, Bobby.
00:32:51.000 Healthier country than we thought.
00:32:53.000 Now, they claim this is BS. And we'll see.
00:32:57.000 Elon Musk has identified waste after waste in fraud and abuse, and it is overwhelmingly popular with the American people.
00:33:04.000 The database needs to be cleaned up.
00:33:06.000 Is it 130,000 people?
00:33:07.000 Is it 130 people?
00:33:08.000 At the very least, clean it up.
00:33:10.000 Make it more efficient.
00:33:13.000 And my favorite moment, and we'll end with this.
00:33:16.000 How did that work out?
00:33:18.000 Did we see an end of lawfare?
00:33:19.000 Playcut 121. How did that work out?
00:33:33.000 Not too good.
00:33:35.000 Not too good.
00:33:37.000 And I have stopped all government censorship and brought back free speech in America.
00:33:55.000 It's back.
00:33:56.000 And two days ago, I signed an order making English the official language of the United States of America.
00:34:13.000 Thank you.
00:34:18.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
