Donald Trump will address a joint session of Congress, the IRS is laying off 45,000 employees, and Canada is threatening to cut off their electricity service. Plus, a new episode of the Uncensored show from the Green Room.
00:00:29.000Donald Trump will address a joint session of Congress to address the State of the Union.
00:00:35.000Ah, I'm not calling it the State of the Union.
00:00:38.000I'm saying he will address the State of the Union.
00:00:40.000Apparently, it's not a State of the Union because Trump's serving a non-consecutive term, so it's supposed to be like the first address to Congress, but, you know, it's only happened one other time.
00:00:52.000But it's going to be true that that will be up at 9 o'clock, around 9 o'clock.
00:00:55.000Donald Trump will be speaking, and some expect him to go either an hour and a half.
00:01:01.000The way Donald Trump goes at rallies, he has a lot to say, and we're hearing that he has not prepared a substantial or, I should say, typical speech, whereas a president usually has speechwriters, teleprompters, and advisors.
00:01:17.000Apparently, Trump has got bullet points.
00:01:20.000Got a bit of a script, but you know how Trump goes.
00:01:53.000According to Daily Mail, Trump is apparently, he may propose relinquishing U.S.-NATO leadership to other European nations, a move towards the U.S. potentially getting out of NATO. And then with the tariffs in play, things are getting pretty crazy.
00:02:06.000Ontario threatens Americans saying he would cut off their electricity.
00:02:10.000I mean, that's pretty serious because of these tariffs.
00:02:13.000And then, of course, we have the Democrat senators producing that scripted cringe video where they all said the exact same thing.
00:02:21.000So we'll talk about all of these things.
00:02:23.000Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and buy Cast Brew Coffee.
00:02:26.000We got two weeks till Christmas, despite the fact it's been over two months since Christmas, but still, Phil Labonte has got some rockin' gingerbread coffee, and he is dressed like Santa Claus.
00:02:36.000Ian's Graphene Dream is still not in stock, but Appalachian Nights and Rise of the Birdo Jr. is, so definitely pick up some Casper coffee.
00:02:43.000Now, we're not going to have a special episode of the Uncensored show today, but we will have a Green Room episode, which will go up, and...
00:03:24.000Don't just be a passive viewer watching the news and the world pass you by.
00:03:28.000Get involved because I know you care because you're watching every day.
00:03:31.000So when you get involved in the Discord server, you're going to make friends with over 20,000 individuals who are going to share stories, connect with you.
00:03:37.000You guys will build things, and this will build community.
00:03:45.000That's how the Founding Fathers did it.
00:03:47.000So we're not just setting up the Discord server.
00:03:49.000We're working on cast brew, coffee franchises, physical locations.
00:03:52.000We're doing the Culture War live in-person show to bring our members from the Discord onto the debate stage, onto the show to decentralize that power structure.
00:05:44.000And all these people that are getting laid off, they had the opportunity to quit and take Not a pension, but take severance that would take care of them until September.
00:05:56.000They all could have just said, hey man, I'm out.
00:06:06.000It's a mix of layoffs, attrition, and incentivized buyouts.
00:06:10.000So, some people may still get paid out.
00:06:13.000The laughs are part of the Trump admin's effort to shrink the size of the federal workforce through DOGE. You know what I love is that Republicans have been saying forever the government's too big, but they've never done anything about it.
00:06:25.000Now Trump is like, we've got a hatchet, a hatchet man, and we're going to fire people.
00:06:30.000Not only is this, not only, like your point is well stated, but not only that, but...
00:06:36.000It's also going to change the way that Republicans behave in the future.
00:06:40.000Because now you see that it's not just lip service.
00:06:45.000It's not like, oh, I paid lip service, but I don't know what to do, man.
00:06:49.000We got into office and I can't do anything.
00:07:30.000And I think that we're going to see the Supreme Court actually rule on that because there's people that are taking the firings and stuff to, you know, they're trying to use the courts to prevent the president.
00:07:41.000And that's exactly what needs to happen.
00:07:44.000These things need to get in front of the Supreme Court.
00:07:47.000Highly likely that the Supreme Court is going to say, no, in Article 2, the powers that are vested in the president are not vested in a bureaucracy.
00:07:54.000The president has the ultimate authority to fire people.
00:07:57.000If you don't like that, that is too bad.
00:08:00.000You can work to change the Constitution, get out there and get an amendment, but until you do that, the president has the authority to fire people.
00:08:09.000The office of the executive actually must...
00:08:54.000So apparently the DEI has not been working.
00:08:56.000Also, I want to know, why don't we have DEI for dirty, dangerous, and difficult stuff?
00:09:02.000Like, why isn't anybody fighting for equality in, like, trash collection or sewer treatment or, you know, the guys that have to do the power line stuff?
00:09:32.000If there is a woman of color who wants to work on an oil rig and make $120K a year in a dangerous job, but she can do it, let's get that going.
00:09:39.000Those jobs should be available, but for some reason, we're not seeing the interest.
00:09:56.000It's because those people don't, no one wants to go and do the hard, dangerous jobs.
00:10:01.000They want to get the cushy, easy jobs, and they want to sit there and complain and tell you that you're a bad person because they didn't get them.
00:10:53.000In HR or something, and the woman there has, like, a space heater under her desk and a space heater on top of her desk, and she's got her...
00:12:29.000Who said, I find it fascinating that so many of the never-Trump intellectuals initially opposed him on the ground of conservative principles, but gradually and without explanation changed all of their principles so they now oppose him on purely progressive grounds.
00:12:41.000And it's a reference to Bill Kristol saying, stand with trans-Americans.
00:12:46.000You don't have to understand everything about the transgender experience to know that Trump's acts of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust and dangerous.
00:12:52.000The interesting thing about Kristol and others was that...
00:12:57.000They had actually tweeted quite a bit against LGBTQ groups only a few years ago.
00:13:03.000But now, they're just literally orange man bad, so we support anything the progressives are pushing.
00:15:55.000I did a Last Week Tonight on Ukraine, and for the life of me, this is the craziest thing imaginable.
00:16:01.000It's one thing to say, I know some friends of mine are trans, and I'm concerned about the things they're going through, and that's an emotional experience, and I'm like, okay, let's have the argument over science and the issue, blah, blah, blah.
00:16:13.000There is not a single argument that Democrats can present, or that they have present, other than, what was it, the Budapest Agreement?
00:16:20.000Where they're like, well, 30 years ago we said that we would defend Ukraine if Russia invaded.
00:16:25.000And we also promised that we wouldn't expand NATO, but then we did, neither of which were approved by Congress, but that means now we have to fight.
00:16:32.000And I'm like, okay, I'm going to pause right there.
00:16:35.000Sure, we promised Ukraine we'd defend them.
00:17:30.000If you come to me and say, we're going to get mineral rights, we're going to secure Ukraine, we're going to get access to a nuclear power plant or whatever, I'd be like, oh, okay, the U.S. is trying to do a thing.
00:17:41.000No, they're just like, we have no reasons.
00:17:51.000Because he was, you know, we all know this is a fact.
00:17:54.000Ukraine has been terrible and has been corrupt for thousands of years, for hundreds of thousands of years, and it's been in every article written, and then all of a sudden, just because Trump's like, you know what, you know, you're my favorite person in the world, and they're going to back him because of Putin.
00:18:09.000You know that Kiev was the capital of Russia?
00:19:59.000When the Soviet Union collapsed, they lost control of Ukraine for the most part, but still maintained these strategic military positions, so they were not going to let NATO come in and bring these people into the EU. Let's jump to this next story, and I will just stress, my friends, the Trump Joint Presidential Address will be starting around 9. We do have the videos queued up to go as soon as it does, but we are grabbing the news in the meantime, so smash that like button, share the show, share it on social media wherever you can, and we'll read this from the Daily Mail.
00:20:28.000Trump considers relinquishing leadership of NATO and insists UK and France take more responsibility as Starmer plans return to DC with Zelensky to present United Front on peace plan.
00:20:38.000I mean, this right here, the first paragraph is the news.
00:20:40.000Donald Trump is considering relinquishing its leadership role or is considering having the US relinquish its leadership role in NATO after insisting that European allies take more responsibility for the security of the continent the mail can reveal.
00:20:53.000The US has held its leadership position since the founding of the Defense Alliance in the aftermath of World War II. Since then, the Supreme Allied Commander of Europe has always been a senior U.S. general.
00:21:02.000But in line with the U.S.'s insistence that European allies take more responsibility for Europe's security, it also expects a British or French general to take up this position.
00:21:12.000Elon Musk advocated for us getting out of NATO. I have been saying for the longest time, let's get out of NATO, let's get out of the U.N., all these post-World War II... Power structures that have been around for decades.
00:21:38.000Like, my theory is that this is kind of the old guard post-World War II, like the Zbigniew Brzezinski and all those guys, right, and the Bush family.
00:21:49.000That's all going away, and it's like...
00:21:51.000Looking to me like the technocrats are the ones that are kind of rising up and taking it over.
00:21:57.000Not sure that that's wholesale good, but if they're going to dismantle the deep state and take out all this nonsense, there's no way that's bad.
00:22:05.000I like the idea of the United States not having a leadership role, as in not being the one that's directing what the UN does.
00:22:16.000No matter what happens, for the UN to be effective, it is still going to rely on the United States military.
00:22:26.000So, you know, do we move to a situation where the UN will decide, oh, we want to go and have troops here and have troops there, and the US will decide maybe we do want to go, maybe we don't want to go?
00:22:52.000But I think that the idea that the United States should have the sovereignty to decide when the U.S. is going to actually use military force and not be told what they have to do by other countries, I think that's...
00:23:29.000A military-industrial complex in the United States.
00:23:32.000We're not going to just get rid of all these companies.
00:23:36.000Raytheon's not going to go out of business because they'll still make all those weapons.
00:23:39.000The United States will still have access to that.
00:23:40.000And so I don't think that it would be as much of a catastrophe as people on the left or people in the Democrat Party are going to make it out to be.
00:23:55.000Democrats and liberals, there's probably only the smallest amount who could engage in the sophistry required to explain why we should maintain NATO at current pace.
00:24:29.000It's funny because I was talking to a liberal friend of mine recently and they were saying like, yeah, well, Russia just does whatever they want.
00:26:30.000And then I was like, I didn't vote ever again.
00:26:32.000Well, and the only thing I do see them still pushing, so like earlier today, Piers Morgan had a bunch of people on time, Andrew was on there, but other people were on there trying to defend Ukraine, and what they did is something that is a very clear pattern.
00:26:45.000I have a piece on my substack I wrote about this called Patterns in Wartime Propaganda.
00:26:50.000You can go back to before World War I and see this same narrative every time of...
00:26:55.000We've got to fight him over there so we don't have to fight him over here.
00:27:45.000I know Putin was a KGB guy and there are people that say, no, he is actually a communist and he would like to see the return of the Soviet Union.
00:28:07.000Well, had it not been for us, he would have taken...
00:28:09.000No, no, but the point is, yeah, I mean, if he can't take Ukraine, right, with the rest of the world doing what they did, he's certainly not going to take on NATO. Ain't no way.
00:28:48.000There is the simple, I feel bad for a foreign country that was invaded, but shall we go through the list of active conflicts around the globe, and then I might ask you why you don't care about anyone else?
00:28:58.000The media hasn't pushed that and beat that into their brains like they have with Ukraine.
00:29:06.000And I don't know why, have we, since World War II, how come?
00:29:10.000I mean, I understand why, because I'm America, and I'm very nationalist, and let's go team.
00:29:14.000But, like, us doing, have to take over NATO, you know, run everything, and we're like the boss babes of the world, and I'm glad that Trump and Elon, not Elon, he doesn't know what to do with this, but just Trump and, you know, JD is, like, bringing that down, like, so let's settle that, you know?
00:29:29.000Let them be their own boss babes, see what they gotta do, and see how they fare.
00:30:05.000If the dollar stops being the reserve currency, if oil stops being priced in dollars, then our debt probably goes up significantly and we can't get people to buy it anymore.
00:30:18.000Let's hope that Doge follows through on their threat to audit the Federal Reserve because that would go a long way to solving some of that.
00:30:25.000Well, I'm not so sure if it would solve it.
00:30:27.000It would give the American people more information about what actually goes on, but I don't know.
00:30:31.000If we were finding out the same things about the Federal Reserve...
00:30:50.000I don't back the Federal Reserve system, but if we were to just say, okay, well, we're going to move straight to a gold standard, we would have massive economic problems.
00:31:01.000The gold standard was problematic anyway, and now we should...
00:31:08.000There's other ways that they could handle it.
00:31:09.000I'm not saying that we need to go back to the gold standard.
00:31:12.000I think there were already problems with the gold standard, but there's definitely a problem with just endless money printing and billions of dollars.
00:33:36.000the U.S. would have to have actual infrastructure for the chips that we use now.
00:33:41.000Granted, we have begun taking steps to do something about that, but that has to happen faster.
00:33:47.000If they were to just change within the next two or three years, we wouldn't have the infrastructure built in the U.S. to have the semiconductors built here that we need and that would have massive effects on our economy in the military.
00:33:59.000It'd have massive effects on all the electronics that we all use.
00:34:03.000I think that the downstream effects...
00:34:05.000Of China or Russia expanding and taking up a power vacuum that would be left by the United States just withdrawing.
00:34:13.000I think that that has significant out significant downstream outcomes that you first of all you can't actually predict Yeah, and also even and the the obvious ones are gonna would be significantly bad for the US economy and for the for the average American In the US or about a half an hour away from the Trump address But we were talking quite a bit about you know Trump's administration being Democrats and liberals moving and left going crazy So I was reminded of this video.
00:34:41.000We're going to do a special segment here just because I pulled it up and I think it's hilarious.
00:34:51.000It's got 1.2 million views on—oh, it's 15 years ago, so it's probably—I'm pretty sure it's 2008 because Prop 8 was in 2008. So this is the liberal worldview 15 years ago, and it's only three minutes long.
00:35:09.000Well, I mean, we'll just play it, and then we'll talk about where Democrats were back then, what they claimed.
00:35:15.000Without burying the lead, Basically, you have that meme where it says, if we pass gay marriage, if we enact these liberal policies, conservatives warned back then that you'd get these creepy books in schools.
00:37:36.000Donald Trump ends up winning as a Republican with Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., Elon Musk, many others who were former Democrats, who largely believed this BS, and then sure enough, what that ended up happening is...
00:37:49.000They put these creepy books in schools.
00:37:50.000They started having men compete against women.
00:37:53.000And no matter what, no matter what you say, Democrats keep defending it, despite the fact polling shows only around 18% approval for males competing against females in sports.
00:38:02.000Teaching about sodomy is actually the low, low stuff.
00:39:30.000That show happened three years after the culture war issue about tampons in the men's room.
00:39:37.000room three years so if you look at the initial reporting from all the prominent progressive outlets and corporate news outlets on the issue of tampons in the men's room that happened I think it was like 2015 and the Prager episode was 2018 Bill Maher didn't even know about a major story that was in all of the press three years prior but people keep going on shows like this and it's because of name and brand recognition it's brilliant it's masterful dude we had a vice president and a uh a president a nominee or a presidential nominee uh with Tim Walsh
00:40:07.000Who actually put them in his schools, and it was proud of that.
00:40:11.000And the whole Democratic Party loved that fact.
00:40:18.000We're having a conversation with a guy from Pod Save America, and he said the Democrats have to get off this gender issue, and they won't do it.
00:41:19.000We do live in a leftist milieu and it is really bad that to try to do anything right of center gets you plastered as a, you know, a Nazi or a fascist or whatever.
00:41:36.000But if that keeps up, you're going to have...
00:41:39.000Because right now, young people are not afraid of the word fascist anymore.
00:41:44.000There's a pretty long list of words they're not afraid of that will always get you cancelled words, and they say them for fun now.
00:43:00.000Do you see the way that people are reacting to, like, men and women's bathrooms, the idea that gender's a social construct and it doesn't matter, you know, your sex doesn't matter and you can actually become the other sex.
00:43:13.000Like, all that stuff, normal people reject it totally.
00:43:17.000And the people that don't, the only reason they don't is because they're afraid of the consequences.
00:43:22.000So, you all may have heard, I had a kid recently.
00:45:46.000Canada and China retaliate against U.S. tariffs, which Trudeau derides as dumb.
00:45:52.000I would play the video for you, but I can't stand hearing Justin Trudeau speak because he sounds like someone's gripping his balls and twisting them.
00:46:28.000So anyway, here's the story that actually I think is real interesting is that the Ontario PM has threatened Americans who rely on the Canadian grid with cutting off their electricity.
00:47:19.000Generally, I think tariffs are bad, or I have thought tariffs are bad.
00:47:23.000When Trump has used them as leverage, that's been, it's seemed to work successfully in a few cases.
00:47:31.000I'm not 100% sure what he's trying to do here.
00:47:34.000Because it seems like what he's trying to do is incentivize American companies to build, or incentivize companies to build things in the U.S. And I don't know if that's a smart use of tariffs.
00:47:48.000I was reading this earlier, and you can fact check me if we're not sure, but I believe, so Canada has a bunch of tariffs on our stuff, and it's like 45% or something like that on cars, so I could see why the UAW would be in favor of having a bit of a tariff war, because it's, what Trump's been saying since 2016 was that it's just very unfair.
00:48:28.000I mean, transition periods sometimes are painful in the short term, but is it...
00:48:32.000Smart to just keep going with the status quo when it doesn't make any sense and we're kind of being ripped off and everybody gets to take advantage of the United States.
00:48:42.000We have to pay for NATO. We have to pay for the UN. Everybody can slap tariffs on us, but if we do it, like, oh, we've got to be really careful.
00:48:53.000There was a number of tariffs from Canada in, like, 2018. There was steel, aluminum, whiskey, toilet paper, maple syrup, yogurt, coffee, prepared...
00:49:56.000But he said, if they want to annihilate Ontario, I will do everything, including cut off their energy with a smile on my face.
00:50:04.000So he wants to cut off the energy with a smile on his face.
00:50:06.000This guy sounds like a terrible, I'm not going to swear, terrible, disgusting human being to cut off energy with a smile on his face because he has some kind of make-believe beef with Donald Trump.
00:50:20.000This is all, you know, we're going to do this because we don't like Donald Trump.
00:50:24.000This is all about personal grievance with Donald Trump.
00:50:28.000And I think all these entrenched, like this power structure is so entrenched and the people who are getting so much out of it, of course they don't want to change.
00:50:35.000And of course they're going to fight back tooth and nail because you're taking away their...
00:50:40.000They're a little grift here that they have going on.
00:50:42.000We all know that members of Congress are making inordinate amounts of money compared to what their salary is supposed to be.
00:50:50.000And all these people are behind closed doors.
00:50:53.000They're all on the same team and they're all getting the deal.
00:50:56.000And Trump's kind of coming in and going, I don't think so.
00:50:59.000The infrastructure that's been built over the past 20 or 30 years has been in to grow the Canadian and Mexican economies to stabilize the North American economic bloc.
00:51:07.000So what you end up with is – go back to the 90s and it was like $3 to $4 for a Canadian to one US dollar.
00:51:30.000We can make regrowth for us and grow our own trees.
00:51:32.000And so he has the nerve to come out and say that we're going to lose access to these important goods.
00:51:37.000And I'm like, well, we only lost access because scumbags in our government sold out the American working class, outsourcing all of these jobs.
00:51:46.000Outsourcing has been a big scandal the entire time, and they hope you just die, roll over, or forget about it.
00:51:52.000People retire, they lost their jobs, and now Canada's mad because they're going to go back to where they were.
00:52:07.000Growing up in a small rural town in Michigan in the 80s and 90s, I watched my hometown die as a result of NAFTA. Our whole economy was farmland, and then in the town, we had a GM plant that made parts.
00:53:22.000So he goes off trying to sell brake pads so that he can get enough orders to keep the plant open, and he struggles and learns along the way, whatever.
00:53:30.000Someone needs to go in and use AI to change it to NAFTA and Bill Clinton signing a deal, and then the plant closing down and reopening in Mexico with a bunch of just, like, outsourced labor.
00:53:52.000He goes to sell, and instead of any of these joke scenes where he tries to convince them, they say, why buy from you when I can buy from Mexico for a dollar less?
00:54:08.000You need homes, you need walls, so you better do right by us.
00:54:12.000I mean, like I said, I've got some people that are actually tweeting at me to the list of the things that are under tariffed or that are tariffed by Canada.
00:54:24.000And it's actually, it looks fairly egregious.
01:00:37.000And then I had to, like, throw the blanket off and be like, whoa, I haven't experienced that in so long because the bed cools as you're getting too hot so you don't wake up.
01:00:56.000I think the mattress covers a couple hundred bucks.
01:00:58.000I hope you all are enjoying the patter as we currently wait for Trump to come to the...
01:01:05.000You have expectations, Tim, in everyone.
01:01:07.000I think that Trump is going to walk up, he's going to look at everybody, and then he's going to have his...
01:01:14.000Bright, holy glow as he levitates in front of everybody, and then he casts a beam of light over all of the evildoers, and they instantly get vaporized, and...
01:07:53.000Telling people, please get vaccinated.
01:07:55.000Look, and even if he's like, oh, you know, you shouldn't get these or I don't like these or whatever, he's not going to, like, make vaccines illegal.
01:09:50.000I just think it's really funny that, like, the side effects are, it's like, it will prolong the QT interval, which is associated with heart arrhythmia and sudden death.
01:09:58.000Or, you know, elderly are increased risk of death and stroke.
01:10:11.000It's like these commercials of morbidly obese people.
01:10:13.000And here's the craziest thing to me about Ozempic and stuff.
01:10:16.000So you mean to tell me you have the willpower to inject yourself with a drug every day, but not the willpower to not eat that extra scoop of ice cream?
01:11:34.000But you've got all these people who are very sick and overweight, and they're like, I don't know what's wrong with any drugs, and it's like, dude, it's because you're eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch by the full box every breakfast, and you don't exercise at all, so your hormones are out of whack, you're full of carbohydrates with no proteins, eat a steak, have some broccoli, or maybe a chicken breast if you don't want to do the red meat, and just start walking.
01:11:56.000First of all, talk to your doctor, because some people have, like, serious...
01:12:01.000Some of them get so far gone down that road that they need significant help getting back to the point where they can even do physical activity, which is pretty horrible.
01:12:08.000I hope he bans those commercials, man.
01:12:10.000If you need help, folks, there's FitCast IRL on Twitter.
01:12:25.000there is a fitness room on our chat server where if you come in and say i'm overweight i eat poorly what do i do everyone's going to start clapping and cheering being like we want to help you yes it is the greatest feeling in the world when someone comes to you and says hey you're good at this tell me how to do it it validates all of your hard work that's why people love teaching others i mean you get that in the gym generally too but that's why if you're looking for help to get motivation to go to the gym the fit castirl uh the rooms in the discord are great
01:12:55.000There's nothing like watching someone getting better and expending and improving themselves and making themselves healthy.
01:16:16.000I've been at events where you're walking through and there's some guy you don't want to talk to because you hate and you're just like, I'm going to look the other way.
01:21:07.000Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the Golden Age of America.
01:21:18.000From that moment on, it has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country.
01:21:30.000We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplished in four years or eight years.
01:21:58.000I return to this chamber tonight to report that America's momentum is back, our spirit is back, our pride is back, our confidence is back, and the American dream is surging bigger and better than ever before.
01:24:01.000Now, for the first time in modern history, more Americans believe that our country is headed in the right direction than the wrong direction.
01:25:39.000Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concerted disruption of proper decorum, the chair now directs the sergeant at arms to restore order.
01:25:50.000Remove this gentleman from the chamber.
01:27:14.000In fact, it has been stated by many that the first month of our presidency, it's our presidency, is the most successful in the history of our nation. - By many.
01:27:49.000I don't know about that list, but we'll take it.
01:27:53.000Within 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.
01:28:38.000In 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.
01:29:02.000This is my fifth such speech to Congress.
01:29:06.000And 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.
01:30:34.000He should bring up an issue that Democrats have to agree on and then say, stand if you agree that this is a good thing, and then when they don't...
01:30:43.000Every day my administration is fighting to deliver the change America needs to bring a future that America deserves, and we're doing it.
01:30:59.000This is a time for big dreams and bold action.
01:31:03.000Upon taking office, I imposed an immediate freeze on all federal hiring, a freeze on all new federal regulations, and a freeze on all foreign aid.
01:31:18.000I terminated the ridiculous Green News scam.
01:31:28.000I withdrew from the unfair Paris Climate Accord.
01:31:32.000Which was costing us trillions of dollars that other countries were not paying.
01:31:38.000I withdrew from the Corrupt World Health Organization.
01:31:47.000And I also withdrew from the Anti-American U.N. Human Rights Council.
01:31:53.000We ended all of Biden's environmental restrictions that were making our country far less safe and totally unaffordable.
01:32:07.000And importantly, we ended the last administration's insane electric vehicle mandate, saving our autoworkers and companies from economic destruction.
01:32:20.000It would be impossible to get to reach that point in five years.
01:32:30.000To unshackle our economy, I have directed that for every one new regulation, 10 old regulations must be eliminated, just like I did in my very successful first time.
01:32:46.000Hopefully that actually does materialize.
01:32:49.000Another thing Republicans have been promising for my whole lifetime.
01:32:54.000And in that first term, we set records on ending unnecessary rules and regulations like no other president had done before.
01:33:02.000We ordered all federal workers to return to the office.
01:33:06.000They will either show up for work in person or be removed from their job.
01:33:14.000The more regulations they get rid of, the more likely it is that the economy recovers significantly and you have serious...
01:33:23.000And we have ended weaponized government where, as an example, a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent, like me.
01:34:56.000We've ended the tyranny of so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion policies all across the entire federal government and indeed the private sector and our military.
01:35:25.000We believe that whether you are a doctor, an accountant, a lawyer, or an air traffic controller, you should be hired and promoted based on skill and competence, not race or gender.
01:36:04.000We have removed the poison of critical race theory from our public schools, and they signed an order making it the Official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.
01:37:25.000Peyton is here tonight in the gallery, and Peyton, from now on, schools will kick the men off the girls' team, or they will lose all federal funding.
01:38:03.000If you really want to see numbers, just take a look at what happened in the women's boxing, weightlifting, track and field, swimming, or cycling, where a male recently finished a long-distance race five hours and 14 minutes ahead of a woman for a new record by five hours.
01:39:07.000Among my very highest priorities is to rescue our economy and get dramatic and immediate relief to working families.
01:39:16.000As you know, we inherited from the last administration an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare.
01:39:26.000Their policies drove up energy prices, pushed up grocery costs, and drove the necessities of life out of reach for millions and millions of Americans.
01:39:36.000Americans have never had anything like it.
01:39:39.000We suffered the worst inflation in 48 years, but perhaps even in the history of our country, they're not sure.
01:39:47.000As president, I'm fighting every day to reverse this damage and make America affordable again.
01:40:26.000A major focus of our fight to defeat inflation is rapidly reducing the cost of energy.
01:40:42.000The previous administration cut the number of new oil and gas leases by 95%, slowed pipeline construction to a halt, and closed more than 100 power plants.
01:40:54.000We are opening up many of those power plants right now.
01:41:40.000We need Postal and Daniel Turner to take him up to Alaska.
01:41:44.000My administration is also working on a gigantic natural gas pipeline in Alaska, among the largest in the world, where Japan, South Korea, among the largest in the world, where Japan, South Korea, and other nations want to be our partner with investments of trillions of dollars each.
01:42:08.000There's never been anything like that one.
01:42:15.000And later this week, I will also take historic action to dramatically expand production of critical minerals and rare earths here in the USA. Nice.
01:42:28.000That's going to go a big way to help them with the whole China problem.
01:46:56.000Many more have been found out and exposed and swiftly terminated by a group of very intelligent, mostly young people, headed up by Elon, and we appreciate it.
01:47:07.000We found hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud.
01:47:13.000Now, why on earth you would not applaud for finding hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer fraud?
01:47:53.000We're also identifying shocking levels of incompetence and probable fraud in the social security program for our seniors, and that our seniors and people that we love rely on.
01:48:06.000Believe it or not, government databases list 4.7 million Social Security members from people aged 100 to 109 years old.
01:48:21.000It lists 3.6 million people from ages 110. The 119. I would believe the 109. I know some people are rather elderly, but not quite that elderly.
01:48:35.000I mean, I'm getting the 100. 3.47 million people from ages 120 to 129. Okay, well that would I get.
01:48:45.0003.9 million people from ages 130 to 139. Wow.
01:50:32.000We're going to find out where that money's going, and it's not going to be pretty.
01:50:36.000By slashing all of the fraud, waste, and theft we can find, we will defeat inflation, bring down mortgage rates, lower car payments and grocery prices, protect our seniors, and put more money in the pockets of American families.
01:50:54.000If he follows through on this, it's over for Democrats.
01:52:05.000And these people will have to pay tax in our country.
01:52:08.000They won't have to pay tax from where they came.
01:52:11.000The money that they've made, you wouldn't want to do that, but they have to pay tax, create jobs.
01:52:15.000They'll also be taking people out of colleges and paying for them so that we can keep them in our country instead of having them being forced out.
01:52:24.000Number one at the top school, as an example, being forced out and not being allowed to stay and create tremendous numbers of jobs and great success for a company out there.
01:52:35.000So while we take out the criminals, killers, traffickers and child predators who are allowed to enter our country under the open border policy of these people, the Democrats, the Biden administration, the open border, insane policies that you've allowed to destroy our insane policies that you've allowed to destroy our country.
01:52:54.000We will now bring in brilliant, hardworking job creating people.
01:52:58.000They're going to pay a lot of money, and we're going to reduce our debt with that money.
01:53:05.000Americans have given us a mandate for bold and profound change.
01:53:21.000For nearly 100 years, the federal bureaucracy Has grown until it has crushed our freedoms, ballooned our deficits, and held back America's potential in every possible way.
01:53:33.000The nation founded by pioneers and risk-takers now drowns under millions and millions of pages of regulations and debt.
01:53:44.000Approvals that should take 10 days to get instead take 10 years, 15 years, and even 20 years before you're rejected.
01:53:53.000Meanwhile, we have hundreds of thousands of federal workers who have not been showing up to work.
01:53:58.000My administration will reclaim power from this unaccountable bureaucracy, and we will restore true democracy to America again.
01:55:08.000And I'm sure that the people on my right, I don't mean the Republican right, but my right right here, I'm sure you're going to vote for those tax cuts because otherwise I don't believe.
01:55:19.000The people will ever vote you into office, so I'm doing you a big favor by telling you that.
01:57:06.000I spoke to the majors today, all three, the top people, and they're so excited.
01:57:11.000In fact, already numerous car companies have announced that they will be building massive automobile plants in America, with Honda just announcing a new plant in Indiana, one of the largest anywhere in the world.
01:57:37.000And this has taken place since our great victory on November 5th, a date which will hopefully go down as one of the most important in the history of our country.
01:57:52.000In addition, as part of our tax cuts, we want to cut taxes on domestic production and all manufacturing.
01:58:01.000And just as we did before, we will provide 100% expensing.
01:58:06.000It will be retroactive to January 20th, 2025. And it was one of the main reasons why our tax cuts were so successful in our first term, giving us the most successful economy in the history of our country.
01:58:28.000I was so good I was only paying attention to politics.
01:58:30.000If you don't make your product in America, however, under the Trump administration, you will pay a tariff, and in some cases, a rather large one.
01:58:39.000Other countries have used tariffs against us for decades, and now it's our turn to start using them against those other countries.
01:58:47.000On average, the European Union, China, Brazil, India...
01:58:53.000Mexico and Canada, have you heard of them?
01:58:56.000And countless other nations charge us tremendously higher tariffs than we charge them.
01:59:30.000This system is not fair to the United States and never was, and so on April 2nd, I wanted to make it April 1st, but I didn't want to be accused of April Fool's Day.
02:00:26.000They don't even allow us in their market.
02:00:28.000We will take in trillions and trillions of dollars and create jobs like we have never seen before.
02:00:35.000I did it with China, and I did it with others, and the Biden administration couldn't do anything about it because there was so much money they couldn't do anything about it.
02:00:43.000We have been ripped off for decades by nearly every country on Earth, and we will not let that happen any longer. and we will not let that happen any longer.
02:01:02.000Much has been said over the last three months about Mexico and Canada.
02:01:07.000But we have very large deficits with both of them, but even more importantly, they've allowed fentanyl to come into our country at levels never seen before, killing hundreds of thousands of our citizens and many very young, beautiful people destroying families.
02:01:46.000Thanks to our America First policies we're putting into place, we have had $1.7 trillion of new investment in America in just the past few weeks.
02:01:57.000The combination of the election And our economic policies that people of SoftBank, one of the most brilliant anywhere in the world, announced a $200 billion investment.
02:02:10.000OpenAI and Oracle, Larry Ellison, announced $500 billion investment, which they wouldn't have done if Kamala had won.
02:02:23.000Apple announced $500 billion investment.
02:02:31.000He said, I cannot spend it fast enough.
02:02:33.000It's going to be much higher than that, I believe.
02:02:36.000They'll be building their plants here instead of in China.
02:02:39.000And just yesterday, Taiwan, semiconductor, the biggest in the world, most powerful in the world, has a tremendous amount, 97% of the market, announced a $165 billion investment to build the most powerful chips on Earth right here in the USA. Good.
02:02:58.000I mean, it's necessary for national security.
02:03:19.000They take our money and they don't spend it.
02:03:22.000All that meant to them, we're giving them no money.
02:03:25.000All that was important to them was they didn't want to pay the tariffs, so they came and they're building, and many other companies are coming.
02:05:28.000And I have also imposed a 25% tariff on foreign aluminum, copper, lumber, and steel, because if we don't have, as an example, steel, and lots of other things, because if we don't have, as an example, steel, and lots of other things, we don't have a military and frankly won't have, we just won't have
02:05:52.000Here today is a proud American steelworker, fantastic person from Decatur, Alabama.
02:06:01.000Jeff Denard has been working at the same steel plant for 27 years in a job that has allowed him to serve as the captain of his local volunteer fire department.
02:06:14.000Raised seven children with his beautiful wife, Nicole.
02:06:17.000And over the years, provide a loving home for more than 40 foster children.
02:07:33.000You mentioned this great work behind the scenes that we don't know about.
02:07:49.000Melania's work has yielded incredible results, helping prepare our nation's future leaders as they enter the workforce.
02:07:58.000Our First Lady is joined by two impressive young women, very impressive.
02:08:03.000Hayley Ferguson, who benefited from the First Lady's Fostering the Future Initiative, and is poised to complete her education and become a teacher, and Elliston Berry.
02:08:15.000Who became a victim of an illicit deepfake image produced by a peer.
02:09:19.000But if we truly care about protecting Americans' children, no step is more crucial than securing America's borders.
02:09:27.000Over the past four years, 21 million people poured into the United States.
02:09:32.000Many of them were murderers, human traffickers, gang members, and other criminals from the streets of dangerous cities all throughout the world because of Joe Biden's insane and very dangerous open-border policies.
02:09:47.000They are now strongly embedded in our country, but we are getting them out and getting them out fast. - Good, good, good. - Good, good. - And I want to thank Tom Holman. - good. - And I want to thank Tom Holman. - And I want to thank Tom Holman.
02:10:17.000Border Patrol, ICE. Law enforcement in general is incredible.
02:10:21.000We have to take care of our law enforcement.
02:10:25.000After last year -- A brilliant 22-year-old nursing student named Lakin Riley, the best in her class, admired by everybody, went out for a jog on the campus of the University of Georgia.
02:10:50.000That morning, Lakin was viciously attacked, assaulted, beaten, brutalized, and horrifically murdered.
02:10:58.000Lakin was stolen from us by a savage illegal alien gang member.
02:11:04.000Who was arrested while trespassing across Biden's open southern border and then set loose into the United States under the heartless policies of that failed administration.
02:11:15.000It was indeed a failed administration.
02:11:18.000He had then been arrested and released in a Democrat-run sanctuary city, a disaster, before ending the life of this beautiful young angel.
02:11:30.000With us this evening are Lakin's beloved mother, Allison, and her sister, Lauren.
02:12:01.000year I told Lakin's grieving parents that we would ensure their daughter would not have died in vain.
02:12:08.000That's why the very first bill I signed into law as your 47th president mandates the detention of all dangerous criminal aliens who threaten public safety.
02:13:08.000Since taking office, my administration has launched the most sweeping border and immigration crackdown in American history, and we quickly achieved the lowest numbers of illegal border crossers ever recorded.
02:14:06.000Yeah, it's remarkable how A few border crosses there are now.
02:14:12.000And again, this goes back to what I was saying earlier.
02:14:16.000Donald Trump has demonstrated that the president can do things.
02:14:19.000Joe Biden didn't just open our borders.
02:14:21.000He flew illegal aliens over them to overwhelm our schools, hospitals, and communities throughout the country.
02:14:29.000Entire towns like Aurora, Colorado, and Springfield, Ohio, buckled under the weight of the migrant occupation and corruption like nobody's ever seen before.
02:15:13.000Last June, Alexis' 12-year-old daughter, her precious Jocelyn, walked to a nearby convenience store.
02:15:21.000She was kidnapped, tied up, assaulted for two hours under a bridge and horrifically murdered.
02:15:28.000Arrested and charged with this heinous crime are two illegal alien monsters from Venezuela released into America by the last administration through their ridiculous open border.
02:15:40.000The death of this beautiful 12-year-old girl and the agony of her mother and family touched our entire nation greatly.
02:15:49.000Alexis, I promised that we would always remember your daughter, your magnificent daughter.
02:15:56.000Earlier tonight, I signed an order keeping my word to you.
02:16:01.000One thing I have learned about Jocelyn is that she loved animals so much.
02:16:08.000Across Galveston Bay, from where Jocelyn lived in Houston, you will find a magnificent national wildlife refuge.
02:16:17.000A pristine, peaceful, 34,000-acre sanctuary for all of God's creatures.
02:16:25.000On the edge of the Gulf of America, Alexis, moments ago, I formally renamed that refuge in loving memory of your beautiful daughter, Jocelyn.
02:16:38.000So, Mr. Vice President, if you would, may I have the order?
02:17:22.000Murders were members of the Venezuelan prison gang, the toughest gang they say in the world, known as Tren de Aragua.
02:17:30.000Two weeks ago, I officially designated this gang, along with MS-13 and the bloodthirsty Mexican drug cartels, as foreign terrorist organizations.
02:17:48.000They are now officially in the same category as ISIS, and that's not good for them.
02:18:05.000Countless thousands of these terrorists were welcomed into the US by the Biden administration.
02:18:12.000But now every last one will be rounded up and forcibly removed from our country, or, if they're too dangerous, put in jails, standing trial in this country, because we don't want them to come back ever.
02:18:26.000With us this evening is a warrior on the front lines of that battle, Border Patrol Agent Roberto Ortiz.
02:20:17.000The territory to the immediate south of our border is now dominated entirely by criminal cartels that murder, rape, torture and exercise total control.
02:20:27.000They have total control over a whole nation, posing a grave threat to our national security.
02:20:34.000The cartels are waging war in America and it's time for America to wage war on the cartels which we A lot of things they leave out this Curing our borders and keeping them out I'm fine with Persians in Mexico in no way five nights ago Mexican authorities because of our Tariff policies being imposed on them think of this
02:21:03.000Handed over to us 29 of the biggest cartel leaders in their country.
02:21:17.000But we need Mexico and Canada to do much more than they've done, and they have to stop the fentanyl and drugs pouring into the USA. They're going to stop it.
02:21:29.000I have sent Congress a detailed funding request laying out exactly how we will eliminate these threats to protect our homeland and complete the largest deportation operation in American history, larger even than current record holder, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a moderate man, but someone who believed very strongly in borders.
02:21:52.000Americans expect Congress to send me this funding without delay so I can sign it into law.
02:21:59.000Mr. Speaker, John Thune, both of you, I hope you're going to be able to do that, Mr. Speaker.
02:22:10.000I'll sign it so fast you won't even believe it Johnson's been fairly lukewarm as a and as we reclaim our sovereignty which is good We must also bring back law and order to our cities and towns You know the whole FISA thing?
02:22:38.000In recent years, our justice system has been turned upside down by radical left lunatics.
02:22:51.000Many jurisdictions virtually seized enforcing the law against dangerous repeat offenders while weaponizing law enforcement against political opponents like me.
02:23:05.000My administration has acted swiftly and decisively to restore fair, equal, and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law, starting at the FBI and the FBI.
02:23:49.000They have a razor-thin margin in the House.
02:23:51.000And just a couple defections from the Republicans means that they can't be passed.
02:23:54.000We're also once again giving our police officers the support, protection, and respect.
02:23:59.000Because of the way that the House is now, and the same thing in the Senate.
02:24:03.000They have such a hard, dangerous job, but we're going to make it less dangerous.
02:24:07.000The problem is the bad guys don't respect the law, but they're starting to respect it, and they soon will respect it.
02:24:14.000This also includes our great fire departments throughout the country.
02:24:17.000Our firemen and women are unbelievable people, and I will never forget them.
02:24:22.000And besides that, they voted for me in record numbers, so I have no chance.
02:24:26.000One year ago this month, 31-year-old New York police officer Jonathan Diller, unbelievably wonderful person and a great officer, was gunned down at a traffic stop on Long Island.
02:25:36.000Stephanie, we're going to make sure that Ryan knows his dad was a true hero, New York's And we're going to get these cold-blooded killers and repeat offenders off our streets, and we're going to do it fast.
02:26:15.000I've already signed an executive order requiring a mandatory death penalty for anyone who murders a police officer, and tonight I'm asking Congress to pass that policy into permanent law.
02:26:42.000For a new crime bill getting tough on repeat offenders while enhancing protections for America's police officers so they can do their jobs without fear of their lives being totally destroyed.
02:29:57.000Since 1975, rates of child cancer have increased by more than 40%.
02:30:03.000Reversing this trend is one of the top priorities for our new presidential commission to make America healthy again, chaired by our new Secretary of Health and Human Services, Let's go.
02:31:43.000My administration is also working to protect our children from toxic ideologies in our schools.
02:31:49.000A few years ago, January, little John and her husband discovered that their daughter's school had secretly socially transitioned their 13-year-old little girl.
02:32:01.000Teachers and administrators conspired to deceive January and her husband while encouraging her daughter to use a new name and pronouns.
02:32:42.000Stories like this are why, shortly after taking office, I signed an executive order banning public schools from indoctrinating our children with transgender ideology.
02:32:53.000Now Democrats are salty about that one.
02:33:19.000And now I want Congress to pass a bill permanently banning and criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped.
02:34:54.000I am pleased to report that in January, the U.S. Army had its single best recruiting month in 15 years, and that all armed services are having among the best recruiting results ever in the history of our services.
02:35:56.000We're joined tonight by a young man, Jason Hartley, who knows the weight of that call of duty.
02:36:03.000Jason's father, grandfather, and great-grandfather all wore the uniform.
02:36:09.000Jason tragically lost his dad, who was also a Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy when he was just a boy, and now he wants to carry on the family legacy of service.
02:36:21.000Jason is a senior in high school, a six-letter varsity athlete, a really good athlete, they say.
02:37:47.000Jason, you're going to be on the long gray line, Jason.
02:37:52.000As Commander-in-Chief, my focus is on building the most powerful military of the future.
02:37:57.000As a first step, I'm asking Congress to fund a state-of-the-art Golden Dome Missile Defense Shield to protect our homeland, all made in the USA. Golden Dome.
02:38:47.000And we're going to protect our citizens like never before.
02:38:50.000To boost our defense industrial base, we are also going to resurrect the American shipbuilding industry, including commercial shipbuilding and military shipbuilding.
02:39:08.000And for that purpose, I am announcing tonight that we will create a new office of shipbuilding in the White House and offer special tax incentives to bring this industry home to America where it belongs.
02:42:35.000We will take Greenland to heights like you have never thought possible before.
02:42:39.000It's a very small population, but very, very large piece of land and very, very important for military security.
02:42:48.000America is once again standing strong against the forces of radical Islamic terrorism.
02:42:54.000Three and a half years ago, ISIS terrorists killed 13 American service members and countless others in the Abbey Gate bombing during the disastrous and incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan.
02:43:46.000Allegedly, Donald Trump is so charismatic that you can only resist his charisma for a short period of time.
02:43:53.000And that's why he speaks for such a long time.
02:43:55.000And I want to thank especially the government of Pakistan for helping arrest this monster.
02:44:00.000This was a very momentous day for those 13 families, who I actually got to know very well, most of them, whose children were murdered and the...
02:44:10.000Many people that were so badly, over 42 people, so badly injured on that fateful day in Afghanistan.
02:49:29.000If you want to end wars, you have to talk to both sides.
02:49:33.000Nearly four years ago, amid rising tensions, a history teacher named Mark Fogel was detained in Russia and sentenced to 14 years in a penal colony.
02:52:35.000He sacrificed his life to save theirs.
02:52:38.000Two others, very fine people, were also seriously hit.
02:52:43.000But thankfully, with the help of two great country doctors, we thought they were gone and they were saved, so those doctors had great talent.
02:52:54.000We're joined by Corey's wife, Helen, who was his high school sweetheart, and their two beloved daughters, Allison and Kaylee.
02:53:52.000Cory was taken from us much too soon, but his destiny was to leave us all with a shining example of the selfless devotion of a true American patriot.
02:54:03.000It was love like Cory's that built our country, and it's love like Cory's that is going to make our country more majestic than ever before.
02:54:13.000I believe that my life was saved that day in Butler for a very good reason.
02:54:19.000I was saved by God to make America great again.
02:54:46.000From the patriots of Lexington and Concord to the heroes of Gettysburg and Normandy, from the warriors who crossed the Delaware to the trailblazers who climbed the Rockies, and from the legends who soared at Kitty Hawk to the astronauts who touched the moon, Americans have always been the people who defied all arts, transcended.
02:55:10.000All dangers made the most extraordinary sacrifices and did whatever it took to defend our children, our country, and our freedom.
02:55:19.000And as we have seen in this chamber tonight, that same strength, faith, love, and spirit is still alive and thriving in the hearts of the American people.
02:55:31.000Despite the best efforts of those who would try to censor us, silence us, break us, destroy us, Americans are today a proud, free, sovereign and independent nation that will always be free and we will fight for it till death.
02:55:50.000We will never let anything happen to our beloved country because we are a country of doers, dreamers, fighters and survivors.
02:56:02.000Strowed into the unknown wilderness and carved their fortunes from the rock and soil of a perilous and very dangerous frontier.
02:56:11.000They chased our destiny across a boundless continent.
02:56:16.000They built the railroads, laid the highways and graced the world with American marvels like the Empire State Building, the mighty Hoover Dam and the towering Golden Gate Bridge.
02:56:30.000They lit the world with electricity, broke free of the force of gravity, fired up the engines of American industry, vanquished the communists, fascists and Marxists all over the world, and gave us countless modern wonders sculptured out of iron, glass and steel.
02:56:50.000We stand on the shoulders of these pioneers who won and built the modern age.
02:56:56.000These workers who poured their sweat into the skylines of our cities.
02:57:01.000These warriors who shed their blood on fields of battle and gave everything they had for our rights and for our freedom.
02:57:10.000Now it is our time to take up the righteous cause of American liberty.
02:57:14.000And it is our turn to take America's destiny into our own hands and begin the most thrilling days in the history of our country.
02:57:27.000With God's help over the next four years, we are going to lead this nation even higher, and we are going to forge the freest, most advanced, most dynamic, and most dominant civilization ever to exist on the face of this earth.
02:57:56.000We are going to conquer the vast frontiers of science, and we are going to lead humanity into space and plant the American flag on the planet Mars and even far beyond.
02:58:21.000And through it all, we are going to rediscover the unstoppable power of the American spirit.
02:58:34.000And we are going to renew unlimited promise of the American dream.
02:58:39.000Every single day you will stand up and we will fight, fight, fight for the country our citizens believe in and for the country our people deserve.
03:00:15.000Well, we were talking about it because the worst thing in the world is when we have like specialist guests who come on a day where we're mostly just providing commentary and hanging out.
