After 40 days of Democratic obstruction and whining, the government shutdown is finally over. After 40 long days, Senate Democrats finally conceded what was obvious to all of us all along. They were playing cheap political games at the expense of the American people.
00:07:01.000So, I want to send a special note of gratitude to all our incredible veterans and active duty Marines for their commitment and courage, showing what the best of America has to offer.

00:10:32.000We'll begin on Capitol Hill, where after weeks and weeks, enough Democrats finally said they would break the filibuster to reopen the government.
00:10:45.000After 40 long days, Senate Democrats admitted what was obvious to all of us all along.
00:10:53.000They were playing cheap political games at the expense of the American people.
00:11:04.000We're not believing the mainstream media.
00:11:07.000We're actually seeing what's really happening in real time, not even in delay.
00:11:12.000The backlash has been swift and brutal.
00:11:16.000And now Democrats are going to be forced to answer tough questions from an irate cabal of left-wing lunatics who are speechless, stunned, and really completely besides themselves.
00:11:33.000But let's be clear about what really happened here.
00:11:37.000Democrats thought that they could hold the country hostage.
00:11:41.000They thought they could inflict enough pain that everyone else would fold, but it failed.
00:12:04.000For leverage on their radical wish list.
00:12:07.000I mean, think about how insane that is.
00:12:09.000Now, the deal to reopen the government is basically what was already in the CR to begin with, along with a commitment to hold a vote on the extension of the failed Obamacare subsidies.
00:12:41.000He didn't blink, and the American people noticed.
00:12:45.000And here's what's really embarrassing for Democrats, guys.
00:12:49.000Even CNN, CNN, the Communist News Network, even CNN had to admit they lost.
00:12:56.000Even MSNBC, also known as MSDNC, could not spin this one.
00:13:02.000When you've lost the regime media, especially those two, when even your own propaganda outlets can't cover for you, you know, you've hit rock bottom.
00:13:41.000In the wake of the election on Tuesday, the president made remarks saying basically, wow, Republicans are being harmed by all of this, acknowledging that he was on his back foot.
00:14:02.000Well, maybe if they're, to be, you know, to Anthony's point, if they were cynical, like if we wanted just to hold this out until we get through the election and now Schumer put on some crocodile tears.
00:14:11.000That's his, you know, go-to move to claim he's voting no and we'll keep fighting.
00:14:17.000You know, he's going to keep fighting, guys.
00:15:19.000And honestly, you all know as well as I do, these shutdown fights are really just a sign of the desperation the Democrats have.
00:15:30.000It's a sign of their desperation, a sign of their weakness, their complete inability to actually function because the leadership in the Democrat Party doesn't represent real Americans anymore.
00:15:40.000They're catering to a couple of rich lunatics and no one else.
00:15:45.000They wanted to shut down the country just like they did with COVID.
00:15:49.000They wanted to try to use that as leverage to hold America hostage.
00:15:55.000But this time it didn't work because when you actually show strength and you don't fold like weak Washington Republicans have done in the past almost every time, voters actually respect you for it.
00:16:10.000But for Democrats, they are now exposed more than ever.
00:16:20.000We need to do this while we have the leverage.
00:16:23.000Of course, there will be, you know, families that are going to suffer, but it is one of the few leverage times we have.
00:16:32.000You reopen the government and we lose our leverage.
00:16:35.000There has to be an agreement right now.
00:16:38.000That's what this whole shutdown is about.
00:16:40.000Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House.
00:16:43.000Frankly, this is our only moment of leverage.
00:16:46.000The idea that you would give up all of your leverage and then hopefully get some sort of great deal coming down the pike is just a fool's errand.
00:16:56.000Why are working families the leverage the Democrats need to get Obamacare fixed?
00:17:04.000Democrats have this one little sliver right now when we've got some leverage here.
00:17:11.000Some Republican senators have pushed a bill that would pay government workers.
00:17:14.000I think that just gives the president more leverage.
00:17:18.000Catherine was basically expressing in her own words the notion that our leverage right now are our votes.
00:17:27.000Them wanting to solve the problem that we want to solve, but do it in a couple of days or a couple of weeks when we've given up our negotiating leverage.
00:17:37.000Without that leverage, the minority party would be stuck in the mud and not basically have anything to negotiate.
00:19:37.000But this is the state of today's Democrat Party.
00:19:42.000These are the lunatics online telling you you're the crazy one for not wanting, I don't know, something like free health care for illegal immigrants that you have the privilege of paying for, or perhaps tax-funded trans surgeries for prisoners, courtesy of you.
00:20:02.000You know, we could probably use that money for like good.
00:20:43.000This barely even made news in the regime media because they're not going to highlight that because they understand, even if they're okay with it, even if they tacitly accept it, they can't say anything.
00:20:57.000If we pretend like it doesn't exist, maybe it just goes away and we can kind of get what we want.
00:21:03.000Can you imagine if the roles were reversed?
00:21:06.000It would be wall-to-wall coverage, breaking news, alerts every five minutes.
00:21:12.000There'd be like the countdown clocks talking about how long it's been going on.
00:21:16.000But when it's violence against law enforcement doing their jobs, crickets.
00:21:27.000So obviously for law enforcement reasons, I can't get into it, but they are out there scouring all leads, surveillance footage, things like that.
00:21:37.000We've made it clear that if you put your hands on an ICE agent or a border patrol agent, or if you threaten them, shoot at them, throw rocks, we're going to find you.
00:22:00.0002011, I'm sorry, he entered in, but he had a deportation in 2012.
00:22:04.000A long rap sheet right there, grand theft, auto.
00:22:08.000How does a guy like this stay in the country?
00:22:11.000He had plenty and plenty of opportunities to get his paperwork done, but he didn't.
00:22:15.000And then he escalates to DUI, killing someone.
00:22:20.000You know, and that's the scary part, Lawrence, about these sanctuary jurisdictions, right?
00:22:24.000Criminal legal aliens will go to locations where they know that local police or state police won't turn them over to us.
00:22:30.000And you look at this case, you have somebody that's been here since 2011, identified in 2012, yet he's still out there committing crime.
00:22:37.000Had we taken action before, that victim of that DUI crash might still be with us today.
00:22:42.000But that's the issue that we're trying to focus on is the fact that when you don't work with ICE, tragedies like this happen.
00:22:49.000And I really wish elected officials would sit down and talk to angel families, kind of like with Operation Midway Blitz that we have named after Katie Abraham that lost her life to a DUI crash for a guy that wasn't supposed to be here.
00:22:59.000Those are the victims we're fighting for every day.
00:23:02.000And it's really sad that politicians won't let us do our law enforcement mission.
00:23:05.000But of course, the regime media doesn't care about real violence when the victims are conservatives.
00:23:21.000They want us cancelled and they want us gone.
00:23:25.000For example, the BBC News over in Britain is now embroiled in a massive scandal after it was revealed they intentionally, intentionally edited my father speaking on January 6th to make it sound like he was inciting a riot.
00:23:44.000You know, they clip a little line here, clip a little line here, leave all the context out of the middle, and voila, we have an insurrectionist.
00:23:55.000They do this on things that are much smaller to have the same effect, but no one's paying attention.
00:24:01.000On big ones like this, they can get caught.
00:24:03.000On the little ones, they just change the narrative, they change the fact set, and they make it the gospel, according to the communist left.
00:24:11.000And now, top executives and editors at the BBC are being forced to step down.
00:24:21.000This all came to light recently from a whistleblower memo from inside the company.
00:24:28.000But it's the video and the tape that really tells the story.
00:24:34.000Watch this because it's pretty amazing.
00:24:36.000The BBC claims to be the pinnacle of impartial reporting.
00:24:40.000But what if there was an internal dossier that revealed that wasn't the case?
00:24:46.000The Telegraph has seen a letter that reveals one of the BBC's own independent advisors repeatedly warned that the broadcaster had serious and systemic problems.
00:24:57.000A week before the US election, BBC Panorama released a documentary called Trump a Second Chance.
00:25:04.000And in it, they played the following clip.
00:25:08.000We're going to walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with you.
00:26:12.000Now, it's true that a lot of people will still feel Trump's claims that in 2021 the election was stolen were entirely inappropriate and unbecoming of a figure in politics.
00:26:22.000But irrespective of your personal views on Trump, the question remains.
00:26:26.000How is a national broadcaster funded by taxpayers on the premise that it will provide impartial reporting allowed to splice together content in a way that one of its own advisors said materially misled viewers?
00:26:40.000But if members of its own editorial standards committee have no faith in the broadcaster, you have to ask, should we?
00:26:51.000It was the same story when CBS edited Kamala Harris's 60 Minutes interview to make her actually sound like she's not a total imbecile.
00:27:01.000They tried desperately to make her sound coherent.
00:27:04.000And then you realize, like, man, the answer she's giving had nothing to do with the question, which actually checks out for Kabala Harris.
00:27:10.000They just happened to splice things from another part in there to make it seem like there was something going on up here in her rather vacuous cranial cavity.
00:27:52.000The same ones telling you that people can choose their sex and gender, telling you that drug boats are actually just innocent fishermen, right?
00:28:02.000Because a lot of poor fishermen in Venezuela are running 4450 mercs on the back of their boats, right?
00:28:11.000The same ones telling you that January 6th was an insurrection, that Joe Biden was sharp as a tack.
00:28:19.000These are always the same ones caught in the massive lies themselves.
00:28:25.000It's projection at its finest, and they've been doing it for years.
00:28:30.000Frankly, they've been doing it for decades.
00:28:33.000Now, the good news is that there are signs that common sense is winning.
00:28:39.000For example, the International Olympic Committee says they will enact a new policy that will prohibit trans athletes from competing against biological women.
00:30:08.000And speaking of sports, my father stopped by the Commanders Lions game in Washington, D.C. yesterday and even hopped in the booth to do a little play-by-play.
00:30:24.000Well, I would like to do that if you'd like me to, but I will say that your second string, your backup quarterback, is a good quarterback and he's had some very good games for you.
00:30:32.000And your first string quarterback has the potential, I think, to be a great quarterback.
00:30:37.000He's got to stop the injuries somehow.
00:31:43.000But so I'm sure he had a little bit of fun with that, even in a Washington, D.C., you know, what, D plus 93 kind of crowd.
00:31:53.000But my father's also involved in helping bring a vision for a new stadium at the old RFK complex to life to actually restore DC to what it once was and what it can be.
00:32:11.000That's the difference, guys, between a builder and a politician.
00:32:38.000I used to get crapped on all the time for how dare you use the glitz and glam.
00:32:42.000And he does some of that, but like, the reality, in the end, he's a regular guy.
00:32:47.000It's why he was good at politics because he's authentic and authenticity is everything.
00:32:51.000He was able to talk to regular people because he dealt with them his whole life, because he dealt with construction workers on job sites, actually building.
00:32:59.000The Democrats guys are a party way past their prime.
00:33:04.000And it's why Nancy Pelosi finally announced she's retiring from Congress.
00:36:32.000For example, here's the new mayor of New York, Zoran Mandani, laying out his plan to create government-run city communes, you know, where communism probably comes from, folks, to replace private housing.
00:37:13.000We can establish community land trusts to gradually buy up housing on the private market and convert it to community ownership.
00:37:19.000We can give tenants a right of first refusal to buy out their landlords when buildings go up for sale.
00:37:23.000And we can fully commit to a new era of social housing, ending subsidies for luxury housing development and using our wealth to build beautiful, high-quality social housing projects that offer good homes and strong communities to everyone.
00:37:37.000We won't decommodify housing overnight, but we know what we have to do and we have history to guide us.
00:37:42.000They want to take ideas that have failed literally everywhere else and import them here.
00:37:50.000Venezuela, Cuba, the Soviet Union, pick your poison.
00:37:59.000And it would be comical, guys, if it wasn't going to harm so many innocent, hardworking people who just want to live their lives in peace and quiet, to have government out of their face in every aspect, at every turn.
00:38:16.000Check out Stephen Miller here on Democrat Extremism.
00:38:21.000But look, at the end of the day, what this really comes down to is this, Jesse.
00:38:25.000Who lives in your country determines what your country is, right?
00:40:04.000And it's why we're fixing all of that inside the Department of War.
00:40:10.000The military isn't great because of DEI.
00:40:14.000It's great because of Americans who are willing to sacrifice so much.
00:40:22.000It's not great because of preferred pronouns.
00:40:25.000It's not great because of diversity training or critical race theory or gender affirming care or any of their woke nonsense.
00:40:38.000Guys, again, it's great because of mission readiness and unity and the unbreakable bond between warriors who would die for each other and for this country.
00:40:50.000Or, as JD Vance said in his speech to the Marines over the weekend, we will make it clear that your job is to kick the enemy's ass and to come back home safely.
00:41:04.000One of the mistakes that I think we made over the past 40 years, over my entire life, and let's be honest, it was Democrats and Republicans.
00:41:12.000This is not even a partisan point, is that we were too willing to send our Marines and our soldiers and everybody else off to war without giving you clear guidance about what you needed to do and clear guidelines for when you would come home.
00:41:26.000And that is one thing the President of the United States and everybody in the White House we promise we will never do when we send you off to fight our nation's battles.
00:41:39.000We will give you the knowledge and the tools you need to win.
00:41:42.000And we will make it clear that your job is to kick the enemy's ass and come back home safely.
00:41:48.000That is our sacred promise from the president of the United States on down.
00:41:51.000That's what we owe every single one of you is a clear mission and a clear promise that when you do that mission, you're going to come home safely.
00:42:02.000Not social experiments, not political correctness.
00:42:07.000It's about winning, winning hard and winning fast.
00:42:12.000Here's a new recruiting video from the United States Marines.
00:42:16.000And let's just say a change in leadership at the top, just like we saw in the presidency, makes all the difference in the world.
00:42:26.000For 250 years, Marines have celebrated their birthday on November 10th.
00:42:34.000From cake cutting to toasts with fellow Marines, this day has always been a time to celebrate our history.
00:42:45.000But at every pivotal moment in our country's history, when our nation has needed the might of the Marine Corps, Marines have celebrated with a true fighting spirit.
00:42:58.000On November 10th, 1943, Marines celebrated their birthday on the small island of Guadalcanal, where vicious fighting took place on our way to securing victory in World War II.
00:43:10.000November 10th, 1965, Marines were landing on the beaches of Tom Key, kicking off Operation Blue Marlin in South Vietnam.
00:43:20.000November 10th, 2004, Marines were fighting door to door in the city of Fallujah, executing Operation Phantom Fury.
00:43:32.000To a Marine, locating, closing with, and destroying the enemy is the best birthday present one could ask for.
00:43:42.000Here's to 250 more years of fighting, shooting, flying, detonating, landing, scouting, jumping, driving, charging, and always winning.
