An affable Donald Trump ready to celebrate GOP accomplishments
00:02:42.140
and spar with heckling Democrats taking to the joint session of Congress to proclaim...
00:02:54.660
The president outlining his vision for the nation
00:02:57.440
while selling the good he's accomplished so far, especially on the economy.
00:03:02.200
The Biden administration and its allies in Congress gave us the worst inflation in the history of our country.
00:03:10.200
But in 12 months, my administration has driven core inflation down to the lowest level in more than five years.
00:03:17.060
And in the last three months of 2025, it was down to 1.7 percent.
00:03:24.040
Gasoline, which reached a peak of over $6 a gallon in some states.
00:03:29.520
Under my predecessor, it was quite honestly a disaster,
00:03:41.560
Mortgage rates are the lowest in four years and falling fast.
00:03:45.080
And the annual cost of a typical new mortgage is down almost $5,000 just since I took office.
00:03:53.800
The stock market has set 53 all-time record highs since the election.
00:04:01.180
Boosting pensions, 401ks, and retirement accounts for the millions and millions of Americans.
00:04:09.380
Few new policies unveiled, but one has 83 percent support amongst the public.
00:04:16.580
The president urging Congress to pass the bill, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship
00:04:21.040
when registering to vote, arguing it is crucial for election integrity.
00:04:25.520
Perhaps most importantly, I'm asking you to approve the SAVE America Act
00:04:32.340
to stop illegal aliens and others who are unpermitted persons from voting in our sacred American elections.
0.53
00:04:51.640
All voters must show proof of citizenship in order to vote.
00:04:59.180
And no more crooked mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, military, or travel.
00:05:09.280
The president also pointing to what he called a historic crackdown at the southern border,
00:05:14.360
arguing his policies have sharply decreased illegal crossings and reduced crime in America.
00:05:19.560
After four years in which millions and millions of illegal aliens poured across our borders,
00:05:28.020
we now have the strongest and most secure border in American history by far.
00:05:32.780
In the past nine months, zero illegal aliens have been admitted to the United States.
00:05:40.160
The flow of deadly fentanyl across our border is down by a record 56 percent in one year.
00:05:48.560
And last year, the murder rate saw its single largest decline in recorded history.
00:05:58.360
The address also featuring emotional moments as President Trump welcomed special guests
00:06:08.780
seated in the chamber, among them Erica Kirk, the widow of the late Charlie Kirk,
00:06:14.080
and the parents of 20-year-old National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom,
00:06:18.600
who tragically lost her life in an ambush while patrolling D.C. last year.
00:06:23.160
Mr. Trump also honoring the U.S. men's Olympic hockey team,
00:06:26.780
celebrating their recent gold medal victory over Canada following a day spent hanging out at the White House.
00:06:32.600
Here with us tonight is a group of winners who just made the entire nation proud.
00:06:44.180
They beat a fantastic Canadian team in overtime, as everybody saw,
00:06:48.920
as did the American women who will soon be coming to the White House.
0.96
00:06:53.180
Because I've never seen a goaltender play as well as goalie, Conor Halibut.
00:06:59.140
That I will soon be presenting Conor with our highest civilian honor,
00:07:04.440
which we will be given and which has been given to many athletes over the years.
00:07:14.000
It's called the highest civilian honor in our country,
00:07:22.300
The president noting that not all Democrats stood for our guys and shaming Dems for refusing to stand
00:07:29.440
for other patriotic or moving tributes, like when the president honored Irina Zarytska,
00:07:35.220
a Ukrainian refugee killed on a North Carolina train whose mother stood wiping away tears.
00:07:40.940
We are honored to be joined tonight by a woman who's been through hell, Anya Zarytska.
00:07:48.740
Last summer, 23-year-old Irina was riding home on the train when a deranged monster
00:07:55.800
who had been arrested over a dozen times and was released through no-cash bail
00:08:01.080
stood up and viciously slashed a knife through her neck and body.
1.00
00:08:05.880
She had escaped a brutal war only to be slain by a hardened criminal set free to kill in America.
00:08:13.840
Mrs. Zarytska, tonight I promise you we will ensure justice for your magnificent daughter, Irina.
00:08:25.700
Democrats determined to stay away from their embarrassing tactics of last year,
00:08:30.100
ditching their little false signs for name tags with messages like,
00:08:37.200
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota breaking protocol several times,
00:08:41.460
yelling at the president, you killed Americans.
00:08:43.920
That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the criminals
00:08:51.340
and enact serious penalties for public officials who block the removal of criminal aliens.
00:08:58.320
In many cases, drug lords, murderers all over our country,
00:09:02.620
they're blocking the removal of these people out of our country,
00:09:09.080
Back in 2009, Congressman Joe Wilson was admonished by the House for shouting,
00:09:15.480
you lie, to then-President Obama during his address to Congress.
00:09:21.700
For the Democrats' official response, newly elected governor of Virginia, Abigail Spanberger.
00:09:27.400
In his speech tonight, the president did what he always does.
00:09:34.220
And he offered no real solutions to our nation's pressing challenges,
00:09:44.220
Moving hearts and minds, one monotone syllable at a time.
00:09:48.440
We'll have full coverage and analysis later today on The MK Show.
00:09:53.460
New details emerging in the U.S.-assisted operation by Mexican security forces on Sunday
00:09:59.140
that killed top cartel boss Nemicio El Mencho Osegura.
00:10:04.240
Mexican authorities revealing they located El Mencho by surveilling a close associate of one of his
00:10:09.320
romantic partners, the associate escorting the woman to a rendezvous with the cartel leader at a
00:10:15.020
rural hideout. The New York Times reporting U.S. officials briefed on the raid say information
00:10:19.820
from the CIA had been, quote, instrumental in removing the cartel leader, the raid more deadly
00:10:25.760
than previously reported. Eight cartel members killed in the initial gun battle, twice as many as
00:10:31.640
originally stated. The operation underscoring deepening U.S. involvement in targeting cartels,
00:10:37.580
the latest operation triggering violent cartel backlash, dozens of vehicles torched, roads
00:10:43.040
blocked, with attacks reported across multiple regions. According to Mexican Secretary of Security
00:10:48.820
Omar Garcia, 25 members of the Mexican National Guard, a member of the National Attorney's Office,
00:10:54.860
and one civilian whom local outlets report was a pregnant woman were killed in the unrest. Garcia
00:11:01.780
reporting 34 additional suspected cartel members also killed in the aftermath and 70 more people
00:11:07.940
arrested. Coming up, police arrest an Idaho woman accused of stealing an ambulance, loading it with gas
00:11:16.080
cans and driving it into a building linked to DHS and ICE in an alleged arson attempt. And a cheeky comment
00:11:23.880
from President Obama may just lead the government to true disclosure on aliens.
00:11:28.800
Let's talk hot salt. Firecracker Farm, hot salt to be exact, the gold standard for its flavor, quality,
00:11:42.760
and heart. This is not just a great gift, which it is. It's the secret to making everyday meals special
00:11:48.560
and quite frankly, delicious. If you are worried about it being too hot, look for Vanilla Heat. It's a
00:11:54.640
wonderful mild blend created by the founder, Alex, and his daughter focused on gentle flavor over brute
00:11:59.540
force. Alex and his family make every small batch on their farm packaged in their signature precision
00:12:05.100
stainless steel push grinders that feel solid in hand and are very satisfying to use. Stop settling
00:12:10.680
for generic. Ready to see what you've been missing? Go to firecracker.farm and use code MK for 10%
00:12:16.100
off your hot salt. Better get to know it now before they run out again. All right, get to it.
00:12:26.360
Police arresting 43-year-old Sarah Elizabeth George of Boise, Idaho on Monday, accusing her of
00:12:32.820
stealing an ambulance and attempting to set fire to a building housing DHS and ICE offices.
00:12:39.160
According to a criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Ohio,
00:12:43.640
on February 18th at approximately 11 p.m., George allegedly stole a Cannon County paramedics ambulance
00:12:50.600
parked outside St. Luke's Emergency Center in Meridian, Idaho. Roughly four minutes later,
00:12:56.760
authorities say she stopped in a nearby lot, loading at least two gas cans and a plastic bag
00:13:01.980
into the vehicle. At about 11.10 p.m., investigators alleging George drove the ambulance through the
00:13:08.120
doors of a commercial building recently identified in news reports as containing DHS and ICE offices.
00:13:14.600
According to the complaint, she stopped the ambulance inside the lobby,
00:13:17.900
exited the vehicle, and poured gasoline on the floor. Authorities responding within minutes,
00:13:23.600
prompting George to flee on foot. Investigators later recovering a plastic bag inside the ambulance
00:13:29.000
containing a bottle of lighter fluid. Meridian Police Chief Tracy Bastarachia describing the
00:13:37.360
Really, it was good old-fashioned police work that got us to where we were at tonight.
00:13:42.580
These investigators literally went door-to-door looking for possible camera footage, possible
00:13:49.460
witnesses, and other information and evidence stemming from I-84 to Fairview, from Locust Grove
00:13:57.120
to Cloverdale. So if you can imagine that footprint and the amount of time it took them and the amount
00:14:04.320
of effort that it took, this, coupled with their knowledge of technology, helped to identify
00:14:09.740
George as our suspect. Investigators say surveillance footage showed George returning
00:14:14.980
to a Dodge Dakota pickup truck parked nearby after the incident and driving away. Authorities also
00:14:20.960
recovering a Walmart receipt linked to George, time-stamped roughly two hours before the attack,
00:14:26.580
listing, quote, several items observed in George's possession during commission of the crime,
00:14:31.160
including two gas cans. George's Facebook page showing a number of political images,
00:14:36.860
including a post shared the morning of the attack depicting the White House burning. George
00:14:41.820
adding the caption, quote, if it can be destroyed by the truth, then it should be destroyed. It was
00:14:47.400
built in lies anyway. George now facing charges of malicious destruction of government property by fire
00:14:53.760
and malicious destruction of property used in or affecting interstate commerce, each charge carrying a
00:15:00.100
potential sentence of five to 20 years in prison. The investigation remains ongoing. Authorities say
00:15:05.760
additional charges are possible. An offhand comment from former President Obama earlier this month
00:15:12.620
fueling renewed speculation about extraterrestrial life and now possibly leading to the feds finally
00:15:19.120
fessing up about what they know. The viral moment coming during a podcast interview with Brian Tyler
00:15:24.920
Cohen, when Mr. Obama was asked directly if aliens are real, responding, quote, they're real, but I
00:15:31.120
haven't seen them. The remark, though, quickly walked back by Mr. Obama, igniting a wave of curiosity.
00:15:37.660
President Trump apparently taking it very seriously last week aboard Air Force One.
00:15:41.920
Barack Obama said that aliens are real. Have you seen any evidence of non-human visitors to Earth?
00:15:50.740
Well, he gave classified information. He's not supposed to be doing that.
00:15:55.520
Well, I don't know if they're real or not. I can tell you he gave classified information. He's not
00:15:59.260
supposed to be doing that. He made a big mistake. He took it out of classified information.
00:16:05.340
No, I don't I don't have an opinion on it. I never talk about it. A lot of people do. A lot of people
00:16:10.600
believe it. Do you believe it, Peter? Well, the president can declassify anything that he wants
00:16:16.140
to. So if you want to make an announcement. I may get him out of trouble by declassifying.
00:16:20.580
Later that evening, Mr. Trump posting to Truth Social, directing the Department of War and other
00:16:25.680
parts of his administration to begin identifying and releasing files related to potential non-human
00:16:31.160
intelligence, unidentified aerial phenomena or UAPs, unidentified flying objects or UFOs,
00:16:38.420
and also, quote, any and all other information connected to these highly complex but extremely
00:16:43.800
interesting and important matters. The key questions now, will any of it lead to meaningful
00:16:49.500
disclosures? A source familiar with the process tells us the president's directive represents a
00:16:55.180
huge step forward in gaining access to information previously stonewalled by defense officials.
00:17:01.660
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth saying yesterday his department has already begun reviewing the files.
00:17:07.040
Did you ever think that you would be the secretary of war in charge of potentially declassifying
00:17:13.140
extraterrestrial life for the American people of the world? I did not. I did not have that on my
00:17:16.700
bingo card at all. And are you prepared to do that now? Of course. I mean, we've got our people
00:17:20.960
working on it right now. I don't want to oversell how much time it will take, right? We're digging in.
00:17:26.420
We're going to be in full compliance with that executive order. I'm here to provide that for the
00:17:30.260
president. So there'll be more coming on that as far as the process of what we'll do.
00:17:33.860
And what sort of time frame? Do you have any sense for how long this is going to take?
00:17:37.640
I don't have a time frame for you yet, but stand by. We'll get it for you.
00:17:40.900
And you give us the latest on what's happening. Do you think aliens exist?
00:17:44.080
We'll see. I get to do the review and find out.
00:17:46.600
Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, one of the leading voices pushing for UAP
00:17:53.660
The word disclosure rather popular in recent months. The documentary Age of Disclosure released
00:18:15.260
this past November exploring the issue, while Steven Spielberg's fictional film Disclosure Day
00:18:20.600
is set for release in June. Could real disclosure finally be coming? The truth is out there.
