of America from 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 we have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplished in four years or eight years and we are just getting started I returned 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 the American dream is Unstoppable and our country is on

the verge of a comeback the likes of which the world has never witnessed and perhaps will never witness again there never been anything like it the presidential election of November 5th was a mandate like has not been seen in many decades we won all seven swing States giving us an electoral college victory of 312 votes we won the popular vote by big numbers and won counties in our [Applause] country and one counties in our country 2,700 to 525 on a map that reads almost completely red for Republican now for the first time in modern history

more Americans believe that our country is headed in the right direction than the wrong direction in fact it's an astonishing record 27 point swing the most ever likewise small business optimism so it's single largest one month gain ever recorded a 41o jump members are directed to uphold and maintain theorum in the house and to cease any further disruptions that's your warning members are engaging in willful in continuing breach of the Quorum and the chair is prepared to direct the sergeant-at-arms to restore order to the Joint session Mr Green take your seat take your seat sir

take your seat finding that members continue to engage in willful and concerted disruption of proper decorum the chair now directs the at Arms to restore order remove this gentleman from the chamber [Music] [Music] members are directed to uphold and maintain the Quorum in the house Mr President you continue thank you over the past 6 weeks I have signed nearly 100 executive orders and taken more than 400 executive actions a record to restore Common Sense safety optimism and wealth all across our wonderful land the people elected me to do the job and I'm doing it in

in 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 and what makes it even more impressive is that do you know who number two is George Washington how about that how about I don't know about that list but but we'll take it within hours of taking the oath of office I declared a National Emergency on our Southern border and I deployed the US Military and border patrol to repel the invasion of our country and what a

job they've done as a result illegal border crossings last month were by far the lowest ever recorded ever they heard my words and they chose not to come much easier that way in comparison under Joe Biden the worst president in American history there were hundred 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 who would want to do that this is my fifth such speech to Congress and once again I look at the Democrats

in front of me and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud nothing I can do I could find a cure to the most devastating disease a disease that would wipe out entire nations or announce the answers to the greatest economy and history or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded and these people sitting right here will not clap will not stand and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements they won't do it no matter what five five

times I've been up here it's very sad and it just shouldn't be this way so Democrats sitting before me for just this one night why not join us in celebrating so many incredible wins for America for the good of our nation let's work together and let's truly make America great again every day my Administration is fighting to deliver the change America needs to bring a future that America deserves and we're doing it this is a time for Big Dreams and bold action upon 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 I terminated the ridiculous green news scam I withdrew from the unfair Paris climate Accord which was costing us trillions of dollars that other countries were not paying I withdrew from the corrupt World Health Organization and I also withdrew from the anti-American UN Human Rights Council we ended all of Biden's environmental restrictions that were making our country far less safe and totally unaffordable and importantly we ended the last administration's insane electric vehicle mandate saving our Auto Workers and companies from economic destruction to 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 and in that first term we set records on ending unnecessary rules and regulations like no other president had done before we ordered all federal workers to return to the office they will either show up for work in person or be removed from their job and we have ended weaponized government where as an example a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent like me how did that work out not

too not too good and I have stopped all government censorship and brought back free speech in America it's back and two days ago I signed an order making English the official language of the United States States of America I renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America and likewise I renamed for a great President William mck Ley Mount McKinley again beautiful last we love Al last We'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 and our country will be

woke no longer we believe that whether you are a doctor an accountant a lawyer or an heir traffic controller you should be hired and promoted based on skill and competence not race or gender very important you should be hired based on Merit and the Supreme Court in A Brave and very powerful decision has allowed us to do so thank you thank you very much we have removed the poison of critical race Theory from our public schools and I signed an order making it the official policy of the United States government that there are only two

genders male and female I also signed an executive order to ban men from playing in women's sports three years ago pton McNab was an Allstar High School athlete one of the best preparing for a future in college sports but when her girls volleyball match was invaded by a male he smashed the ball so hard in Payton's face causing traumatic brain injury partially paralyzing her right side and ending her athletic career it was a shot like she's never seen before she's never seen anything like it Payton is here tonight in the gallery and pton from now

on schools will kick the men off the girls team or they will lose all federal funding and if you really want to see numbers just take a look at what happened in the woman's boxing weightlifting track and field swimming or cycling where a male recently finished a longdistance race 5 hours and 14 minutes ahead of a woman for a new record by 5 hours broke the record by 5 hours it's demeaning for women and it's very bad for our country we're not going to put up with it any longer what I have just described is

only a small fraction of the Common Sense Revolution that is now because of us sweeping the entire world Common Sense has become a common theme and we will never go back never never going to let that happen among my very highest priorities is to rescue our economy and get dramatic and immediate relief to Working Families as you know we inherited from the last Administration an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare their policies drove up Energy prices pushed up grocery costs and drove the necessities of life Out Of Reach for millions and millions of Americans they've

never had anything like it we suffered the worst inflation in 48 years but perhaps even in the history hist of our country they're not sure as president I'm fighting every day to reverse this damage and make America affordable again Joe Biden is especially let the price of eggs get out of control the egg prices out of control and we're working hard to get it back down secretary do a good job on that you inherited a total mess from the previous administration do a good job a major focus of our fight to defeat inflation is rapidly

reducing the cost of energy the 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 we are opening up many of those power plants right now and frankly we have never seen anything like it that's why on my first day in office I declared a national Energy emergency as you've heard me say many times we have more Liquid Gold under our feet than any Nation on Earth and by far and now I fully authorize the most talented team ever assembled

to go and get it it's called drill baby drill my Administration is also working on a gigantic natural gas pipeline in Alaska 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 there's never been anything like that one it will be truly spectacular it's all set to go the permitting has got and later this week I will also take historic action to dramatically expand production of critical minerals and rare Earths here in the USA to further combat inflation we will not

only be reducing the cost of energy but we'll be ending the flagrant waste of taxpayer dollars and to that end I have created the brand new Department of government efficiency go perhaps you've heard of it perhaps which is headed by Elon Musk who is in the gallery tonight thank you Elon he's working very hard he didn't need this he didn't need this thank you very much we app appreciate it everybody here even this side appreciates it I believe they just don't want to admit that just listen to some of the appalling waste we have already

identified 22 billion doar from HHS to provide free housing and cars for illegal aliens $45 million for diversity equity and inclusion Scholarships in Burma $40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants nobody knows what that is $8 million to promote lgbtqi Plus in the African nation of luto which nobody has ever heard of $60 million for indigenous peoples and afro Colombian empowerment in central America $60 million $8 million for making mice transgender this is real $32 million for a left-wing propaganda operation in mova $10 million for male circumcision in mosambique 20

million dollar for the Arab Sesame Street in the Middle East it's a program $20 million for a program $1.9 billion to recently created decarbonization of homes committee headed up and we know she's involved just at the last moment the money was passed over by a woman named Stacy Abrams have you ever heard of her a $3.5 million Consulting contract for lavish fish monitoring $1.5 million for voter confidence in Liberia $14 million for social cohesion in Mali $59 million for illegal alien hotel rooms in New York City he's a real estate developer he's done very well

$250,000 to increase vegan local climate action innovation in Zambia $42 million for social and behavior change in Uganda $14 million for improving public procurement in Serbia $47 million for improving learning outcomes in Asia Asia is doing very well with learning we don't know what we're doing should use it ourselves now1 million for Dei contracts at the Department of Education the most ever paid nothing even like it under the Trump Administration all of these scams and they're far worse but I didn't think it was appropriate to talk about them they're so bad many 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 we found hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and we've taken back the money and reduced our debt to fight inflation and other things taking back a lot of that money we got it just in time this is just the beginning the government accountability office federal government office has estimated annual fraud of over $500 billion in our nation and we are working very hard to stop it we're going to we'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 Believe It or Not government databases list 4.7 million Social Security members from people aged 100 to 109 years old it lists 3.6 million people from ages 110 to 119 I don't know any of them I know some people that are rather elderly but not quite that elderly 3.47 million people from ages 120 to 129 3.9 million people from ages 130 to 139 3.5 million people from ages 140 to 149 and

money is being paid to many of them and we're searching right now fact Pam good luck good luck you're going to find it with a lot of money is paid out to people because it just keeps getting paid and paid and nobody does and it really hurts Social Security and hurts our country 1.3 million people from ages 150 to 159 and over 130,000 people according to the Social Security databases are age over 160 years old we have a healthier country than I thought Bobby including to finish 1,039 people between the ages of 220 and 229

one person between the age of 240 and 249 and one person is listed at 360 years of age more than 100 years more than a 100 years older than our country but we're going to find out where that money is going and it's not going to be pretty by slashing all of the fraud waste and theft we can find we will defeat inflation bring down mortgage rates lower car payment ments and grocery prices protect our seniors and put more money in the pockets of American families and today interest rates took a beautiful Drop big beautiful

Drop it's about time and in the near future I want to to do what has not been done in 24 years balance the federal budget we're going to balance it with that goal in mind we have developed in great detail what we are calling the gold card which goes on sale very very soon for $5 million we will allow the most successful job creating people from all over the world to buy a path to US citizenship it's like the green card but better and more sophisticated and these people will have to pay tax in our

country they won't have to pay tax from where they came the money that they've made you wouldn't want to do that but then have to pay tax create jobs they'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 be being forced out number 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 so 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 country we will now bring in brilliant hardworking job creating people they're going to pay a lot of money and we're going to reduce our debt with that money Americans have given us a mandate for bold and profound change for 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 the nation founded by pioneers and Risk Takers now drowns under millions and millions of pages of regulations and debt approvals that should take 10 days to get instead take 10 years 15 years and even 20 years before you rejected meanwhile we have hundreds of thousands of federal workers who have not been showing up to work my Administration will reclaim power from this unaccountable bureaucracy and we will restore true democracy to America again and any federal bureaucrat who resists this change will be removed from office [Applause] immediately because we are draining the swamp it's very

simple and the days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over and the next phase of our plan to deliver the greatest economy in history is for this Congress to pass tax cuts for everybody they're in there they're waiting for you to vote and 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 the people will ever vote you into office so I'm doing you a big favor by telling you that but I

know this group is going to be voting for the tax thank you it's a very very big part of our plan we had tremendous success in our first term with it a very big part of our plan we're seeking permanent income tax cuts all across the board and to get urgently needed relief to Americans hit especially hard by inflation I'm calling for no tax on tips no tax on overtime and no tax on Social Security benefits for our great seniors good J and I also want to make interest payments on car loans tax deductible but

only if the car is made in America and by the way we're going to have growth in the Auto industry like nobody's ever seen plants are opening up all over the place deals are being made never seen that's a combination of the election win and tariffs it's a beautiful word isn't it that along with our other policies will allow our Auto industry to absolutely boom it's going to Boom spoke to the majors today all three the top people and they're so excited in 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 and this has taken place since our great Victory on November 5th a date which was will hopefully go down as one of the most important in the history of our country in addition as part of our tax cuts we want to cut taxes on domestic production and all manufacturing and just as we did before we will provide 100% expensing it 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 first term we had a great first term if you don't make your product in America however under the Trump Administration you will pay a tariff and in some cases is a rather large one other countries have used tariffs against us for decades and now it's our turn to start using them against those other countries on average the European Union China Brazil India Mexico and Canada have you heard of them and countless other nations charge

us tremendously higher tariffs than we charge them it's very unfair India charges us Auto tariffs higher than 100% China's average tariff on our products is twice twice what we charge them and South Korea's average tariff is four times higher think of that four times higher and we give so much help militarily and in so many other ways to South Korea but that's what happens this is happening by friend and foe this 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 that's what that's not just one day was cost us a lot of money but we're going to do it in April I'm a very superstitious person April 2nd reciprocal tariffs kick in and whatever they tariff us other countries we will tariff them that's reciprocal back and forth whatever they tax us we will tax them if they do not monetary tariffs to keep us out of their market then we will do non-monetary barriers to keep them out of our Market there's a lot of that too they don't

even allow us in their Market we will take in trillions and trillions of dollars and create jobs like we have never seen before I did it with China and I did it with others and the Biden Administration couldn't do anything about it because it was so much money they couldn't do anything about it we have been ripped off for decades by nearly every country on Earth and we will not let that happen any [Applause] longer much has been said over the last three months about Mexico and Canada but we have very large deficits with both

of them but even more importantly they've allowed fentol 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 nobody's ever seen anything like it they are in effect receiving subsidies of hundreds of billions of dollars we pay subsidies to Canada and to Mexico of hundreds of billions of dollars and the United States will not be doing that any longer we're not going to do it any longer thanks to our America First policies we're putting into place we have had $1.7 trillion

dollar of new investment in America in just the past few weeks the 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 open Ai and Oracle Larry Ellison announced $500 billion investment which they wouldn't have done if Kamala had won Apple announced $500 billion investment Tim Cook called me he said I cannot spend it fast enough it's going to be much higher than that I believe they'll be building their plants here instead of in China and 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 and we're not giving them any money your chips sack is a horrible horrible thing we give hundreds of billions of dollars and it doesn't mean a thing they take our money and they don't spend it all that meant to them were giving them no money all that was important to them was they didn't want to pay the Tariff so they came

in their building and many other companies are coming we don't have to give them money we just want to protect our businesses and our people and they will come because they won't have to pay tariffs if they build in America so it's very amazing you should get rid of the chip act and whatever is left over Mr Speaker you should use it to reduce debt or any other reason you want to our new trade policy will also be great for the American Farmer I love the farmer who will now be selling into our home Market

the USA because nobody is going to be able to compete with you because those goods that come in from other comp countries and companies they're un really really in a bad position in so many different ways they're uninspected they may be very dirty and disgusting and they come in and they pour in and they hurt our American farmers the tariffs will go on Agricultural Product coming into America and our our Farmers starting on April 2nd it may be a little bit of an adjustment period we had that before when I made the deal with China

$50 billion of purchases and I said just bear with me and they did they did probably have to bear with me again and this will be even better that was great the problem with it was that Biden didn't enforce it he didn't enforce it $50 billion of purchases and we would were doing great but Biden did not enforce it and it hurt our Farmers but our farmers are going to have a field day right now so to our Farmers have a lot of fun I love you too I love you too all going to happen

and I have also imposed a 25% tariff on forign aluminum copper Lumber and steel 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 a country very long here today is a proud American Steel worker fantastic person from decada Alabama Jeff dard 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 raised seven children with his beautiful wife Nicole and over

the years provide a loving home for more than 40 foster children so great Jeff thank you thank you Jeff stories like Jeffs remind us that tariffs are not just about protecting American jobs they're about protecting the soul of our country tariffs are about making America Rich again and making America great again and it's happening and it will happen rather quickly there'll be a little disturbance but we're okay with that it won't be much no you're not oh and look and look where Biden took us very low the lowest we've ever been Jeff I want to

thank you very much and I also want to recognize another person who has devoted herself to Foster Care Community she worked so hard on it a very loving person our magnificent first lady of the United States melania's work has yielded incredible results helping prepare our nation's Future Leaders as they enter the workforce our first lady is joined by two impressive young women very impressive Haley Ferguson who benefited from the first ladies fostering the future initiative and is poised to complete her education and become a teacher and Ellison Barry who became a victim of an illicit

deep fake image produced by a pier with Ellison's help the Senate just passed the take it down act and this is so important thank you very much John John th thank you stand up John thank you John thank you all very much thank you and thank you to John Thun and the Senate great job to criminalize the publication of such images online is terrible terrible thing and once it passes the house I look forward to signing that bill into law thank you and I'm going to use that bill for myself too if you don't mind

cuz nobody gets treated worse than I do on line nobody that's great thank you very much to the Senate thank you but if we truly care about protecting Americans children no step is more crucial than securing America's borders over the past four years 21 million people poured into the United States many 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 they are now strongly embedded in our country but we are getting them out

and getting them out [Applause] fast and I want to thank Tom homman and Christie I want to thank you and Paul of border patrol I want to thank you what a job they've all done everybody border patrol ice law enforcement and general is incredible we have to take care of our law enforcement have to last year a brilliant 22-year-old nursing student named leak and Riley the best in her class admired by everybody went out for a jog on the campus of the University of Georgia that morning Laken was viciously attacked assaulted beaten brutalized and horrifically

murdered Laken was stolen from us by a Savage illegal alien gang member who 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 it was indeed a failed Administration he had then been arrested and released in a Democrat run Sanctuary City a disaster before ending the life of this beautiful young angel with us this evening are lakan's beloved mother Allison and her sister Lauren last year I told laken's grieving parents that we would ensure their daughter would not have died in

vain that'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 it's very strong powerful act it's called the lakan Riley act so Allison and Laura America will never ever forget our beautiful leak hope [Applause] [Applause] Riley thank you very much since taking office my Administration has launched the sweeping border and immigration Crackdown in American history and we quickly achieve the lowest numbers of illegal border crosses ever recorded thank you the media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying

we needed new legislation we must have legislation to secure the Border but it turned out that all we really needed was a new president thank you Joe Biden didn't just open our borders he flew illegal aliens over them to overwhelm our schools hospitals and communities throughout the country entire towns like Aurora Colorado and Springfield Ohio buckled under the weight of the migrant occupation and corruption like nobody's ever seen before beautiful towns destroyed now just as I promised in my inaugural address we are achieving the great liberation of America but there still is much work to

be done here tonight is a woman I have gotten to know Alexis Nary from Houston wonderful woman last June Alexis's 12-year-old daughter her precious Joselyn walked to a nearby convenience store she was kidnapped tied up assaulted for two hours under a bridge and horrifically murdered arrested and charge with this heinous crime are two illegal alien monsters from Venezuela released into America by the last Administration through their ridiculous open border the death of this beautiful 12-year-old girl and the agony of her mother and family touched our entire nation greatly Alexis I promised that we would always

remember your daughter your magnificent daughter and earlier tonight I signed an order keeping my word to you one thing I have learned about Joselyn is that she loved animals so much she loved nature across Galveston Bay from where Joselyn lived in Houston you will find a magnificent National Wildlife Refuge a pristine peaceful 34,000 acre Sanctuary for all of God's creatures on the edge of the Gulf of America Alexis moments ago I formerly renamed that refuge in loving memory of your beautiful daughter Joselyn so Mr Vice President if you would May I have the order [Applause]

[Applause] thank you very much all three Savages charged with Joselyn and leak's murders were members of the Venezuelan prison gang the toughest gang they say in the world known as trendy aragua two weeks ago I officially designated this gang along with MS13 and the bloodthirsty Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations they are now officially in the same category as Isis and that's not good for them countless thousands of these terrorists were welcomed into the US by the Biden Administration but 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 with us this evening is a warrior on the front lines of that battle border patrol agent Roberto Ortiz great guy in January Roberto and another agent were patrolling by the Rio Grand near an area known as cartel Island doesn't sound too nice to me when heavily armed gunmen started shooting at them Roberto saw that his partner was totally exposed great danger and he leapt into action returning fire and providing crucial seconds for his fellow agent

to seek safe safety just and just barely I have some of the prints of that event and it was not good Agent Ortiz We Salute You for Your Great courage and uh be a line of fire that you took and for The Bravery that you showed we honor you and we will always honor you thank you Roberto very much thank you Roberto and I actually got to know him on my many calls to the Border he's a great great gentleman the territory to the immediate south of our border is now dominated entirely by criminal cartels

that murder rape torture and exercise total control they have total control over a whole nation posing a grave threat to our national security the cartels are Waging War in America and it's time for America to wage war on the cartels which we are here five nights ago Mexican authorities because of our tariff policies being imposed on them think of this handed over to US 29 of the biggest cartel leaders in their country that has never happened before they want to make us Happ happy first time ever but 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 I 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 Americans expect Congress to send me this funding without delay so I can sign it into law so Mr Speaker John Thun both of you I I

hope you're going to be able to do that Mr speaker thank you Mr leader thank you thank you very much and let's get it to me I'll sign it so fast you won't even believe [Applause] it and as we reclaim our sovereignty we must also bring back Law and Order to our cities and towns in recent years our justice system has been turned upside down by radical left lunatics many jurisdictions virtually seized enforcing the law against dangerous repeat offenders while weaponizing law enforcement against political opponents like me my Administration has acted swiftly and decisively to

restore Fair equal and partial justice under the Constitutional rule of law starting at the FBI and the doj Pam good luck cash wherever you may be good luck good luck Pam Bond good luck so important going to do a great job cash thank you thank you cas [Applause] they've already started very strong they're going to do a fantastic job you're going to be very proud of them we're also once again giving our police officers the support protection and respect they so dearly deserve they have to get it they have such a hard dangerous job but

we're going to make it less dangerous the problem is the bad guys don't respect the law but they're starting to respect it and they soon will respect it this also includes our great fire departments throughout the country our firemen and women are unbelievable people and I will never forget them and besides that they voted for me in record numbers so I have no chance one 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 I went to his

funeral The Vicious criminal charged with his murder had 21 prior arrests and they were rough arrests too he was a real bad one the thug in the seat next to him had 14 prior arrests and went by the name of killer he was killer he killed other people they say a lot of them I attended officer Diller's service and when I met his wife and one-year-old son Ryan it was very inspirational actually his Widow's name is Stephanie and she is here tonight Stephanie thank you very much Stephanie thank you very [Applause] Stephanie we're going to

make sure that Ryan knows his dad was a true hero New York's finest and we're going to get these cold blooded killers and repeat offenders off our streets and we're going to do it fast got to stop it they get out with 28 arrests they push people into subway trains they hit people over the head back of the head with baseball bats we got to get them out of here I'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 I'm also asking for 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 they don't want to be killed we're not going to let them be killed joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police his name is DJ Daniel he is 15 years old and he has always dreamed of becoming a police officer but in 2018 DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer the doctors gave him 5

months at most to live that was more than six years ago since that time DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true and DJ has been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer actually a number of times peace the police love him the police departments love him and tonight DJ we're going to do you the biggest honor of them all I am asking our new secret service director Sean Curran to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret Service he thank you DJ DJ's doctors believe

his cancer likely came from a chemical he was exposed to when he was younger since 1975 rates of child cancer have increased by more than 40% reversing this trend is one of the top priorities for our new presidential commission to make a America healthy again chaired by our new secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F Kennedy [Applause] Jr Within the name Kennedy you would have thought everybody over here would have been Che how quickly they forget our goal is to get toxins out of our environment poisons out of our food supply and keep our

children healthy and strong as an example not long ago and you can't even believe these numbers one in 10,000 children had autism one in 10,000 and now it's one and 36 there's something wrong 1 in 36 think of that so we're going to find out what it is and there's nobody better than Bobby and all of the people that are working with you you have the best to uh figure out what is going on okay Bobby good luck it's a very important job thank you good thank you my Administration is also working to protect our

children from toxic ideologies in our schools a 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 teachers and administrators conspired to deceive January and her husband while encouraging her daughter to use a new name and pronouns they them pronoun actually all without telling January who is here tonight and is now a courageous Advocate against this form of child abuse January thank you thank you thank you very much thank you stories like this are why shortly after taking office I signed an executive order

Banning public schools from indoctrinating our children with transgender ideology I also signed an order to cut off all taxpayer funding to any institution that engages in the sexual mutilation of our Youth and 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 in the wrong body this is a big lie and our mage message to every child in America is that you are perfect exactly the way God made you because we're getting wokeness out of our schools and out of

our military and it's already out and it's out of our society we don't want it wokeness is trouble wokeness is bad it's gone it's gone and we feel so much better for it don't we don't we feel better our service members won't be activists and ideologues they will be Fighters and warriors they will fight for our country and Pete congratulations Secretary of Defense congratulations and he's not big into the woke movement I can tell you I know him well I am pleased to report that in January the US 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 what a difference and you know it was just a few months ago where the results were exactly the opposite we couldn't recruit anywhere we couldn't recruit now we're having the best results just about that we've ever had what a tremendous turnaround it's really a beautiful thing to see people love our country again it's very simple they love our country and they love being in our military again so it's a great thing and thank you

very much great job we're joined tonight by a young man Jason Hartley who knows the weight of that Call of Duty Jason's father grandfather and great-grandfather all wore the uniform Jason 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 Jason is a senior in high school a six-letter Varsity athlete a really good athlete they say a brilliant student with a 4.46 that's good GPA and his greatest dream is to attend the US Military Academy

at West Point and J Jason that's a very big deal getting in that's a hard one to get into but I'm pleased to inform you that your application has been accepted you will soon be joining the core of K [Applause] thank you Jason you're going to be on the long Gray Line Jason as commanderin-chief my focus is on building the most powerful military of the future as 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 and Ronald Reagan wanted to do

it long ago but the technology just wasn't there not even close but now we have the technology it's incredible actually and other places have they have it Israel has it other places have it and the United States should have it too right Tim right they should have it too so I want to thank you but it's a very very important this is a very dangerous world we should have it we want to be protected and we're going to protect our citizens like never before to boost our defense industrial base we are also going to resurrect

the American ship building industry including commercial ship building and military ship building and for that purpose I am announcing tonight that we will create a new office of ship building in the White House and offer special tax incentives to bring this industry home to America where it belongs we used to make so many ships we don't make them anymore very much but we're going to make them very fast very soon it will have a huge impact to further enhance our national security my Administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal and we've already started doing it

just today a large American company announced they are buying both ports around the Panama Canal and lots of other things having to do with the Panama Canal and a couple of other canals the Panama Canal was built by Americans for Americans not for others but others could use it but it was built a tremendous of American blood and treasure 38,000 workers died building the Panama Canal they died of malaria they died of snake bites and mosquito is not a nice place to work they paid them very highly to go there knowing there was a 25%

chance that they would die the most expensive project also that was ever built in our country's history if you bring it up to modern-day costs it was given away by The Carter Administration for $1 but that agreement has been violated very severely we didn't give it to China we gave it to Panama and we're taking it back now we have Marco Rubio in charge good luck Marco now we know who to blame if anything goes wrong oh Marco's been amazing and he's going to do a great job think of it he got a 100 votes

you know he was approved with actually 99 but the 100th was this gentleman and I feel very certain so let's assume he got a 100 votes and I'm either very very happy about that or I'm very concerned about it but he's already proven I mean he's a great gentleman he's respected by everybody and we appreciate your voting for Marco he's going to do a fantastic job thank you thank you he's doing a great job great job and I also have a message tonight for the incredible people of Greenland we strongly support your right to determine

your own future and if you choose we welcome you into the United States of America we need Greenland for National Security and even International Security and we're working with everybody involved to try and get it but we need it really for international World security and I think we're going to get it one way or the other we're going to get it we will keep you safe we will make you rich and together we will take Greenland to Heights like you have never thought possible before it's a very small population but very very large piece of

land and very very important for military security America is once again standing strong against the forces of radical Islamic terrorism three and a half years ago Isis terrorists killed 13 American Service members and countless others in the abig gate bombing during the disastrous and incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan not that they were withdrawing it was the way they withdrew perhaps the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country tonight I am pleased to announce that we have just apprehended the top terrorist responsible for that atrocity and he is right now on his way here to

face the Swift sword of American Justice [Applause] and I want to thank especially the government of Pakistan for helping arrest this monster this 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 many people that were so badly over 42 people so badly injured on that fateful day in Afghanistan what a horrible day such incompetence we shown that when Putin saw what happened I guess he said wow maybe this is my chance that's how bad it was should have never

happened grossly incompetent people I spoke to many of the parents and loved ones and they're all in our hearts tonight just spoke to them on the phone we had a big call every one of them called and everybody was on the line and they did nothing but cry with happiness they were very happy as happy as you can be under those circumstances their child brother sister son daughter was killed for no reason whatsoever in the Middle East we're bringing back back our hostages from Gaza in my first term we achieved one of the most groundbreaking

peace agreements in Generations the Abraham Accords and now we're going to build build on that Foundation to create a more peaceful and prosperous future for the entire region a lot of things are happening in the Middle East people have been talking about that so much lately with everything going on with Ukraine and Russia but a lot of things are happening in the Middle East a rough neighborhood actually I'm also working tirelessly to end the Savage conflict in Ukraine millions of ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict with

no end in sight the United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine's defense with no security with no [Applause] anything do you want to keep it going for another 5 years yeah yeah you you would say pocah hun says yes 2,000 people are being killed every single week more than that they're Russian young people they're Ukrainian young people they're not Americans but I wanted to stop meanwhile Europe has has sadly spent more money buying Russian oil and gas than they have spent on defending Ukraine by far think of that they've spent

more buying Russian oil and gas than they have defending and we've spent perhaps $350 billion like taking candy from a baby that's what happened and they've spent a hundred billion dollar what a difference that is and we have an ocean separating us and they don't but we're getting along very well with them and lots of good things are happening Biden has authorized more money in this fight than Europe has spent by billions and billions of dollars it's hard to believe that they wouldn't have stopped it and said at some point Come On Let's equalize you

got to be equal to us but that didn't happen earlier today I received an important letter from president zalinski of Ukraine the reads Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer nobody wants peace more than the ukrainians he said my team and I stand ready to work under President Trump's strong leadership to get a peace that lasts we do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintained its sovereignty and Independence regarding the agreement on minerals and security Ukraine is ready to sign it

at any time that is convenient for you I appreciate that he sent this letter just got it a little while ago simultaneously we've had serious discussions with Russia and have receive strong signals that they are ready for peace wouldn't that be beautiful wouldn't that be beautiful wouldn't that be beautiful it's time to stop this madness it's time to Halt The Killing it's time to end the senseless War if you want to end Wars you have to talk to both sides nearly four years ago amid Rising tensions a history teacher named Mark Fogle was detained in

Russia and sentenced to 14 years in a penal colony rough stuff the previous administration barely lifted a finger to help him they knew he was innocent but they had no idea where to begin but last summer I promised his 95-year-old mother Maline that we would bring her boy safely back home after 22 days in office I did just that and they are here tonight right to Mark and his great mom we are delighted to have you safe and sound and with us as fate would have it Mark Fogle was born in a small rural town

in Butler Pennsylvania have you heard of it where his mother has lived for for the past 78 years I just happened to go there last July 13th for a rally that was not pleasant and that is where I met his beautiful Mom right before I walked onto that stage and I told her I would not forget what she said about her son and I never did did I never forgot less than 10 minutes later at that same rally gunfire rang out and a sick and deranged assassin unloaded eight bullets from his snipers perch into a

crowd of many thousands of people my life was saved by a fraction of an inch but some were not so lucky Corey comparator was a firefighter a veteran a Christian a husband a devoted father and above all a protector when the sound of gunshots pierced the air was a horrible sound Cory knew instantly what it was and what to do he threw himself on top of his wife and daughters and shielded them from the bullets with his own body Corey was hit really hard you know the story from there he sacrificed his life to save

theirs two others very fine people were also seriously hit but thankfully with the help of two great country doctors we thought they were gone and they were saved so those doctors had great talent were joined by Corey's wife Helen who was his high school sweetheart and their two beloved daughters Allison and kayy thank you [Applause] to Helen Allison and Kaylee Corey is looking down on his three beautiful ladies right now and he is cheering you on he loves you he is cheering you on Corey 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 it was love like cories that built our country and it's love like cories that is going to make our country more Majestic than ever before I believe that my life was saved that day in Butler for a very good reason I was saved by God to make America great again I believe that thank you very much from 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 Kittyhawk to the astronauts who touched the moon Americans have always been the people who defied all Arts transcended all dangers made the most extraordinary sacrifices and did whatever it took to defend our children our country and our freedom and 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 despite 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 we will never let anything happen to our Beloved Country because we are a country of doers dreamers Fighters and survivors our ancestors crossed a vast ocean strowed into the unknown Wilderness and carve their fortunes from The Rock and soil of a perilous and very very dangerous Frontier they chased our destiny across a boundless continent they built the rail roads 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 they lit the world with electricity Broke Free of the force of gravity fired up the engines of American industry and vanquished the Communists fascists and marxists all over the world and gave us countless modern wonders sculptured out of iron glass and steel we stand on the shoulders of these Pioneers who won and built the Modern Age these workers who poured their sweat into the skylines of our cities these Warriors who shed their blood on fields of battle and gave everything they had for our rights and for our freedom

now it is our time to take up the righteous cause of American Liberty and 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 this will be our greatest ERA with 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 IC and most dominant civilization ever to exist on the face of this Earth we are going to create the highest quality of life build the
