00:00:30.420 Ladies and gentlemen,
00:00:31.900 we gather here tonight to mourn the state of our nation
00:00:34.140 because the state of our nation is pathetic.
00:00:37.180 And it is pathetic in the main
00:00:38.620 because of the president of the United States.
00:00:40.880 As it turns out,
00:00:42.080 we all should have listened to Barack Obama.
00:00:44.140 In 2020, former President Obama said something simple
00:00:47.300 yet profound about his former vice president,
00:00:49.840 a man he had labeled his brother.
00:00:52.040 He said,
00:00:52.820 don't underestimate Joe's ability to F things up.
00:00:56.260 Barack Obama was right.
00:00:58.340 Joe Biden came into the office on the wings of eagles.
00:01:01.400 He was handed a working vaccine
00:01:02.840 and a distribution plan for that vaccine.
00:01:05.360 He was handed an economy
00:01:06.800 that had been placed into an artificial coma
00:01:08.920 in order to prevent the spread of COVID,
00:01:11.100 but that was about to rebound to record growth rates.
00:01:14.540 He was handed a stable foreign policy.
00:01:16.740 And he had been blessed
00:01:18.120 with the unending bounty of sycophantic media coverage
00:01:21.240 welcoming him into the Oval Office
00:01:23.460 with an approval rating of nearly 56%.
00:01:26.160 What did he do with these advantages?
00:01:29.420 He presided over perhaps the worst first 14 months
00:01:31.980 of any presidency since the Civil War.
00:01:33.900 And unlike Abraham Lincoln,
00:01:35.240 our current crisis is entirely of Joe Biden's making.
00:01:38.900 On issue after issue,
00:01:40.620 Joe Biden is not merely wrong,
00:01:42.280 he is aggressively wrong.
00:01:43.940 He is not merely foolish,
00:01:44.840 he is stubbornly foolish.
00:01:46.940 Joe Biden became president with one goal,
00:01:48.840 to enshrine himself in history as a great leader.
00:01:52.120 Today, we can safely say
00:01:53.660 that he is one of the worst leaders in American history.
00:01:56.880 On foreign policy,
00:01:58.120 Joe Biden has made America a laughingstock.
00:02:00.180 Our enemies don't respect us,
00:02:01.440 they don't fear us, they laugh at us.
00:02:03.860 Biden promised stability.
00:02:05.460 He promised he would be the adult in the room.
00:02:08.140 Instead, he has acted like a toddler,
00:02:10.660 whining, mewling, throwing tantrums,
00:02:12.420 and then, in the end, capitulating.
00:02:14.260 He precipitously withdrew from Afghanistan
00:02:16.160 for no apparent reason and with no actual strategy.
00:02:18.840 Destroying a country for which America
00:02:20.780 had expended thousands of lives and trillions of dollars
00:02:23.280 by handing it over to a group
00:02:24.860 of 8th century radical Islamist barbarians.
00:02:28.080 Those barbarians promptly blew up
00:02:30.140 13 American service members.
00:02:32.520 And in retaliation, Joe Biden's Reaper drones
00:02:34.760 eviscerated an innocent family,
00:02:36.480 including seven children.
00:02:38.060 Now, millions will starve,
00:02:40.300 thousands will be sold into sex slavery,
00:02:42.040 and terror groups will reconstitute on the very soil
00:02:44.880 from which the attacks of September 11th were launched.
00:02:47.460 And thousands of Americans were left behind
00:02:49.760 to suffer under the Taliban.
00:02:52.060 Joe Biden cut off the Keystone XL pipeline
00:02:54.440 and greenlit the Russian Nord Stream 2 pipeline,
00:02:57.180 enriching Vladimir Putin
00:02:58.100 and destroying America's energy independence.
00:03:00.600 Then, he proceeded to futz about uselessly
00:03:02.760 as Putin prepared and launched
00:03:03.960 a full-scale invasion of Ukraine,
00:03:06.180 all of which paves the way for a Chinese attack on Taiwan
00:03:08.860 and more aggressive Chinese moves
00:03:10.660 in the South China Sea.
00:03:11.520 And when it comes to our own borders,
00:03:13.740 Joe Biden has ushered in the greatest wave
00:03:15.920 of illegal immigration in modern history.
00:03:18.900 In his first year, Joe Biden's administration
00:03:20.940 was on track for 2 million border apprehensions.
00:03:24.880 The reason is clear.
00:03:26.600 Illegal immigrants have been openly telling media members
00:03:28.660 they're here because they believe Joe Biden
00:03:30.740 will welcome them.
00:03:32.320 Meanwhile, on our northern border,
00:03:34.680 Joe Biden has stood in solidarity with Justin Trudeau
00:03:36.880 as he claimed emergency powers
00:03:38.180 to crush freedom in Canada.
00:03:39.240 But at least Joe Biden has brought transgenderism
00:03:42.540 and diversity, equity, and inclusion
00:03:44.480 to the Defense Department.
00:03:45.860 Don't you feel safer already?
00:03:48.220 On the economy, Joe Biden has somehow turned
00:03:50.240 a historic recovery into a chaotic nightmare.
00:03:53.520 For four decades, inflation had not been
00:03:55.580 a persistent problem in American life.
00:03:58.060 Today, inflation rates are running at a four-decade high
00:04:00.980 thanks to his socialist expending plans
00:04:02.960 and ridiculous regulations.
00:04:04.460 Wage gains have been erased,
00:04:06.080 gas prices are emptying wallets,
00:04:07.500 and the hundreds of thousands of small businesses
00:04:09.800 that went dark
00:04:10.600 thanks to Democratic-induced lockdown policies
00:04:12.940 will never come back,
00:04:14.500 erasing the life-savings, dreams, and jobs
00:04:17.160 of millions of Americans.
00:04:18.960 We face future stagnation
00:04:20.400 thanks to our unsustainable $30 trillion national debt.
00:04:24.360 Joe Biden blames supply chain problems, of course,
00:04:26.500 but at least Joe Biden's transportation secretary,
00:04:28.640 Pete Buttigieg, has been on the case.
00:04:30.680 I mean, when he's not taking two months off
00:04:32.180 for paternity leave,
00:04:33.060 well, nobody in the media seems to care.
00:04:34.660 On crime, Joe Biden has consistently sided
00:04:37.680 against police and with those
00:04:38.940 who would make their job harder.
00:04:40.180 He has unleashed his Department of Justice
00:04:41.660 on police departments all over the country.
00:04:44.320 And innocent Americans, many of them black,
00:04:46.380 have paid for his soft on-crime policies
00:04:48.100 with their lives.
00:04:49.460 A dozen major cities have recorded
00:04:50.960 the highest number of homicides ever
00:04:52.780 in the United States.
00:04:54.300 But at least his vice president
00:04:55.520 did help bail Black Lives Matter rioters out of prison.
00:04:58.840 And then there's our society.
00:05:00.660 Joe Biden has made nearly every aspect
00:05:02.580 of our society wars.
00:05:04.920 Joe Biden promised America unity
00:05:06.740 when he entered office.
00:05:08.420 Instead, he labeled his fellow Americans enemies.
00:05:11.800 He encouraged businesses to bar the unvaccinated,
00:05:14.540 even those with natural immunity,
00:05:16.380 from public spaces.
00:05:17.800 Then he sought to have them fired from their jobs en masse
00:05:20.660 in the single largest executive overreach
00:05:22.600 in modern American history.
00:05:24.760 Joe Biden treated political dissenters
00:05:26.240 as scum of the earth.
00:05:27.360 Biden said those who didn't agree with his plans
00:05:29.600 to federalize voting procedures
00:05:30.960 were aligned with Jim Crow and the Confederacy.
00:05:33.780 Biden's Justice Department cracked down on parents
00:05:35.940 after being encouraged to do so
00:05:37.860 by the National School Boards Association,
00:05:40.280 which encouraged the DOJ
00:05:41.600 to treat parents as domestic terrorists
00:05:43.720 for opposing the indoctrination of their children
00:05:46.100 into radical gender and race theory,
00:05:48.500 for simply wanting to determine
00:05:49.700 how their kids were educated.
00:05:52.000 Joe Biden's administration slurred
00:05:53.800 traditionally moral Americans
00:05:55.160 as retrograde bigots
00:05:56.800 for the great sin of believing
00:05:58.020 that men are men and women are women.
00:06:01.000 Joe Biden's White House encouraged social media
00:06:03.020 to shut down critics from misinformation
00:06:04.460 and defined misinformation
00:06:05.740 as anything the White House didn't like.
00:06:07.540 And then he and his lackeys said
00:06:09.280 he was doing this in defense of the science.
00:06:12.500 As it turns out,
00:06:13.440 Joe Biden is not merely a brutal failure of a president.
00:06:16.080 He's an aspiring tyrant
00:06:17.060 held back only by the strength
00:06:18.520 of our constitutional structure,
00:06:20.280 a structure he now wishes to overthrow
00:06:22.060 by trashing the filibuster,
00:06:23.640 issuing unconstitutional executive orders,
00:06:25.460 and at least threatening to pack the Supreme Court.
00:06:28.320 And, of course, Joe Biden is a liar.
00:06:31.720 He doesn't lie as well as he used to.
00:06:33.780 He's no longer capable of speaking smoothly or coherently.
00:06:37.140 But if a man spends a lifetime lying,
00:06:39.360 he's not going to start telling the truth
00:06:40.620 when he enters his eighth decade.
00:06:42.860 Tonight, Joe Biden lied,
00:06:44.700 and lied, and lied again to you.
00:06:47.260 For example, Joe Biden told you tonight
00:06:49.240 that his plan to fight inflation
00:06:50.480 will lower your costs and lower the deficit.
00:06:52.720 He said he would lower inflation
00:06:54.920 by pouring more cash into the economy
00:06:57.340 on top of the trillions he has already spent
00:07:00.360 while we are $30 trillion in debt.
00:07:02.800 That is an insane lie.
00:07:05.260 Build Back Better would,
00:07:06.440 according to the Congressional Budget Office,
00:07:08.260 increase the federal budget deficit
00:07:09.640 by $3 trillion over the next 10 years
00:07:12.660 if all Biden's proposed temporary programs
00:07:15.140 became permanent, which is what he wants.
00:07:17.600 And pouring the gasoline of government spending
00:07:19.620 onto the raging fire of inflation
00:07:21.220 is a perfect way to increase costs.
00:07:24.000 Only a fool would propose it.
00:07:25.920 Maybe that's why Joe Biden was telling you
00:07:27.720 until the last five minutes
00:07:28.860 that inflation would be temporary.
00:07:31.260 And Joe Biden told you that his American Rescue Plan,
00:07:33.820 his massive boondoggle stimulus plan,
00:07:36.200 created jobs, lots of jobs.
00:07:37.940 He said he created 6.5 million jobs.
00:07:40.360 That is another lie.
00:07:41.740 There is no evidence Biden's spending produced one job.
00:07:45.180 Nonpartisan projections for job growth in 2021,
00:07:47.540 not including that American Rescue Plan,
00:07:49.820 showed higher job growth than Biden produced.
00:07:52.820 Joe Biden said,
00:07:53.620 we prepared extensively for the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
00:07:56.680 That was untrue.
00:07:58.320 We were manifestly unprepared.
00:08:00.000 We reacted, as the rest of the world did and should have.
00:08:03.160 But had Joe Biden been prepared,
00:08:04.700 perhaps he could have helped deter Russia's invasion
00:08:06.960 rather than encouraging Vladimir Putin's miscalculation.
00:08:10.460 Joe Biden also told you tonight
00:08:11.920 that corporations and the wealthiest Americans
00:08:13.860 aren't paying their fair share of taxes.
00:08:15.920 That, again, is a lie.
00:08:18.380 The highest income Americans
00:08:19.420 pay nearly all net income taxes
00:08:21.240 after government benefits in the United States.
00:08:24.000 Joe Biden said that inflation could be blamed
00:08:25.740 on exploitation by corporations.
00:08:27.940 Another lie.
00:08:28.800 Inflation is a monetary phenomenon.
00:08:30.880 Corporations didn't get more greedy last year.
00:08:33.200 Joe Biden just became president.
00:08:35.140 And Joe Biden said,
00:08:36.360 we will never just accept living with COVID-19.
00:08:38.460 Another lie.
00:08:39.320 Most Americans have been living free
00:08:40.620 since vaccines became available.
00:08:42.580 Only Democratic panic-mongering
00:08:44.240 has prevented more Americans from doing the same.
00:08:46.760 Not COVID itself.
00:08:48.580 Joe Biden said tonight
00:08:49.400 that the right to vote is under assault.
00:08:51.040 Another lie.
00:08:52.000 Widespread voter suppression
00:08:52.840 is not an issue in the United States.
00:08:55.840 Joe Biden simply means
00:08:56.800 he wants to rig the voting rules
00:08:58.280 the way he prefers.
00:08:59.860 Lie after lie after lie.
00:09:02.880 Enough.
00:09:04.100 Enough of Joe Biden.
00:09:05.960 Enough of his bizarrely incompetent vice president
00:09:08.140 who has failed upward
00:09:09.180 into every job she has ever held
00:09:10.660 and who can't seem to keep a straight face
00:09:12.700 when asked a straight question.
00:09:15.000 Enough of his Senate majority leader
00:09:16.480 who spends more time worrying
00:09:17.980 about being primaried by an Instagram communist
00:09:20.240 than worrying about passing solid bipartisan legislation.
00:09:23.900 Enough of his Speaker of the House
00:09:25.160 who kneels in kente cloth in the Capitol Rotunda
00:09:27.880 to protest America's supposed racism,
00:09:30.320 then goes home and eats gelato
00:09:31.960 in front of her sub-zero fridge
00:09:33.420 as businesses are forced into bankruptcy
00:09:35.160 by her preferred policies.
00:09:37.400 America deserves better.
00:09:38.700 America deserves a president
00:09:40.780 who sides with parents
00:09:41.760 rather than corrupt teachers' unions
00:09:43.640 that shut down schools and mask toddlers
00:09:45.480 and indoctrinate kids
00:09:46.700 into the perverse lies of gender theory
00:09:48.760 and the overt bigotry of critical race theory.
00:09:51.520 America deserves a president
00:09:52.500 who sides with the police
00:09:53.660 who protect law-abiding citizens
00:09:55.100 rather than the criminals who target them
00:09:56.980 or the Black Lives Matter radicals
00:09:58.900 who slander America as systemically racist
00:10:00.920 while pocketing tens of millions in cash.
00:10:03.440 America deserves a president
00:10:04.660 who sides with innovators
00:10:05.820 rather than the jealous plutocrats
00:10:07.480 who seek to steal wealth they never created
00:10:09.640 and use it to pay off their friends.
00:10:12.100 America deserves a president
00:10:13.140 who sides with freedom of speech
00:10:14.320 rather than demanding
00:10:15.280 that social media companies
00:10:16.380 crack down on everything he doesn't like.
00:10:19.140 America deserves a president
00:10:20.140 who sides with the blue-collar workers
00:10:21.540 who pay his salary,
00:10:22.600 not the blue check marks on Twitter.
00:10:25.140 America deserves a president
00:10:26.080 who sides with those
00:10:27.080 who take their families to church every Sunday,
00:10:29.160 not those who pledge to blot out
00:10:30.720 our shared Judeo-Christian heritage
00:10:32.300 from public life.
00:10:34.180 America deserves a president
00:10:35.160 who sides with America's allies
00:10:36.760 rather than surrendering to America's enemies.
00:10:39.480 America deserves a president
00:10:40.460 who sides with the Constitution
00:10:41.620 rather than seeking to rewrite it
00:10:43.480 to push forward his bureaucratic tyranny.
00:10:46.060 We are more than a year
00:10:47.280 into Joe Biden's presidency.
00:10:49.280 That year is an unblemished record
00:10:51.260 of failure, viciousness, and lies.
00:10:53.980 Too many Americans have been told
00:10:55.300 by the radical left
00:10:56.040 and its compliant lackeys in the media
00:10:57.840 that America is rooted in racism and bigotry,
00:11:00.240 that freedom is dangerous,
00:11:01.860 that if we listen to the experts
00:11:03.140 and delegate control over our lives to them,
00:11:05.980 all will be well.
00:11:07.600 Too many Americans listened.
00:11:09.100 And so we are in the midst
00:11:10.380 of a great American decline.
00:11:12.480 But that decline is reversible.
00:11:15.400 It starts now.
00:11:17.080 Attend your local school board meetings.
00:11:18.980 Demand an end to the radical indoctrination
00:11:21.100 of your children.
00:11:22.580 Join campaigns in your cities and states
00:11:24.220 for candidates who care about your rights.
00:11:26.720 Vote Joe Biden's enablers out of Congress
00:11:28.500 and the Senate in November.
00:11:29.520 And then vote Joe Biden out of office in 2024.
00:11:33.140 The great American renewal begins
00:11:34.960 when their control of American lives ends.
