  My handshake is better than anything I ever signs, right here.

• 0:18Speaker 01

  You are a one of one? My son's right there.

• 0:20Speaker 00

  I don't think I've ever said this before.

• 0:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Alright, we're officially live. We got an audience in the house. Make some noise, folks. We got the folks here at the boardroom cigar lounge, watching the State of the Union together. My wife said, "What time is he gonna be coming home tonight?" I said, "Look, it looks like he wants to break a record tonight." I don't know what that means. If the guy breaks a record tonight, you know we're here till midnight, because he's gonna have, they got 30 minutes to shake hands, okay? Then the record, all-time record is a buck 28, hour 28. It was by Bill Clinton, when he broke the record, longest ever. And if he says he goes two hours, there's a calcio bed right now. Rob, what is the calcio bed right now? Not the bed, but calcio numbers that are looking at on how long he's gonna be going. Some are saying over two hours.

• 1:12Patrick Bet-David?

  There are people saying that he may be going over two hours tonight.

• 1:15Tom Ellsworth?

  1.3 million has been put up. Look at all those.

• 1:18Patrick Bet-David?

  On what? The 1.3 million on 90 minutes or above? 86% chance above that.

• 1:25Tom Ellsworth?

  Look at the jump today, Pat.

• 1:26Patrick Bet-David?

  78% is saying, so what is, can you go more markets? Let's see what's above two hours. Go to two hours, two hours, 120 minutes. 76% say he's gonna go over 100 minutes, which is

• 1:38Tom Ellsworth?

  Hour and a half.

• 1:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Hour and 40 minutes. It's an hour and 40 minutes. So we'll see what's gonna happen. There are a lot of people that are not gonna be there tonight. A lot of senators, congressmen, we'll show the report here in a few for you to see. Some fun facts about the State of the Union. It is mandated, it is required by the president to give an update to Congress. So he's giving his update. This is one of those president that probably talks to the American people the most. Originally, it wasn't a speech. Some did a speech. Jefferson said he doesn't want to do a speech because he thought it was too royal. So they wrote the State of the Union speech to people for like about 100 years. And then they brought it back after 100 years. Woodrow Wilson brought it back in 1913.

• 2:21Patrick Bet-David?

  The first State of the Union on the radio was 1923, first on TV 47, first in color 1965, first on the internet 2002. And then it used to be called the annual message. FDR changed it to the State of the Union. And modern average 70 to 100 standing ovations. I just want to make it clear, nobody here needs to stand up. We're just going to enjoy it. So every time they stand up, we're not doing it here. We're going to have fun for ourselves. Some people are having drinks, old fashions, you know, different kind of things, cigars. And we have a few Middle Easterns in the house. They may even call hookah to be here in a minute, by the way. That could happen. That's very likely it could happen with this audience. And 1986, the speech was postponed after the Challenger disaster, 1986.

• 3:05Patrick Bet-David?

  And right now, if you're from New York, for those of you guys that are living in New York, the stuff I'm hearing about going on in New York with 23 inches of snow. I don't know if you saw the video what Central Park looks like. It's a whole different story. But thank God today, I don't know if you guys caught that. AOC came out with Mamdani in Spanish, making sure all the illegal immigrants know that it's free childcare in New York. So as long as you guys know that's going on, everything's going to be okay. But let me start it off right open, right off the bat. Tom, what do you think is going to happen tonight? What is the outcome? There's a lot of things that's going to happen. They're trying to make it a bad show for them. They want them to come in and not look good. I have a feeling they're going to be screaming, hollering, not a lot of people being there. On the left, Thomas Massey is allegedly sitting with the Democrats.

• 3:49Patrick Bet-David?

  A lot of stuff that's going to happen here tonight. What do you think's going to happen?

• 3:52Tom Ellsworth?

  I think it's a tough day for America because I don't like how it's unfolding.

• 3:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 3:56Tom Ellsworth?

  I don't like the fact you've got Dems that are boycotting it and are going to use the internet and an alternative channel to kind of put something out there. It used to be where the president, love him or not, we all come together in the House of Representatives with the cabinet, with the Supreme Court in the front row. Supreme Court stays neutral, sits there. Quietly and we let the president speak and then we give a rebuttal. That used to be how we did it with there was decorum, even with discord or disagreement, there was decorum. Today, I expect there be some booing. I expect there to be sitting down and frowning faces because they know that the cameras are on them. I've already said what certain Democrats are boycotting.

• 4:37Tom Ellsworth?

  Now with the president, the president needs to put a positive message out to the American people about what he's doing about affordability and that he's urgent about it and not be doing as Pam Bondi did recently. But look at how the stock market's doing when she's in the middle of her congressional hearing. American people are looking for economic relief. They are happy with the policy at the border. They don't like how it's unfolded, but 72% of America agree with the president's policy on immigration and closing the border. But it's up over 66% are very upset about how it unfolded. So I think the president is going to come out and count his victories. We've got the biggest this, we've got the longest, we've got the best recovery, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

• 5:22Tom Ellsworth?

  And he deserves credit on inflation and on CPI and closing the border. There's things he deserves credit on. I think he's going to then be a little bit of a bully at a time where he really needs to be Reagan-esque and to be strong and conciliatory and commit to what he's doing for the American people. But I just, I'm a little nervous because I don't want to see how it's all going to unfold. I don't think it's good on both sides here.

• 5:46Speaker 04

  Well, first of all, the state of the union, I think, is in fantastic shape. We have to remember, guys, since 2016, Pat, it's just been relentless pressure from the other side. Russia, you know, all the impeachments, all the, it's been nonstop. Hitler, this, that. What he's been able to accomplish, besides getting a bullet, almost ripping his head off, another guy trying to kill him at Mar-a-Lago, another guy yesterday that just showed up to try to kill the president that was shot and killed. Think about it, guys. Border shut down, deportations happening, even though with the resistance of everybody and all the paid for stuff. From George Soros and all these big companies to try to, you know, put resistance, all the Alex

• 6:28Speaker 04

  pretties, all those situations, it's all set up, alright. We're respected on the world stage. When Trump walks in a room and Trump wants to do business, everybody respects us. Now, I don't care what they want to say, he's holding everybody accountable. The tariffs were working till, you know, Supreme Court went and went 6-3, and I think that they're still gonna fight for that. I said that part, but then, just, this isn't about him, guys. He has three years left. It's done. This speech, I think, is gonna aim towards the future of the Republican Party, letting everybody know, guys, we mean business, this is how it's gonna be set up, and he's setting up for whoever's gonna come, for the Marco Rubio, or the J.D. Vance, or somebody to come out. But, guys, understand this, he is doing a great job. He is doing an actually really, really, really good job, but it's constant,

• 7:13Speaker 04

  constant pressure and nudging and this and that. By the way, Epstein files back, he released 3,500 files. Why, nobody, anybody want to celebrate and say, guys, for how many years, 30 years, nothing has come out? He's doing it, he's doing what the people want, and I think he deserves a lot more credit than what they're gonna give him.

• 7:32Patrick Bet-David?

  I think the, my opinion, I think, by the way, is Adam with us or no? Yes, sir. Is Adam with us, just so, if you can show him on the Zoom as well, so everybody knows. Adam, just so you guys know, is, Adam, can you tell everybody where you were all day today?

• 7:47Speaker 05

  Sir, can you hear me?

• 7:48Patrick Bet-David?

  I can.

• 7:50Speaker 05

  Wonderful. Well, I'm here in Washington, DC. I was interviewing a lot of our Republican congressmen and congresswomen, honored to be doing so right now. I gotta, I'm out here in the field, PBD, I'm representing the PBD brand and the ValueTainment brand in the swamp, you know, we want to drain the swamp, but we're gonna make America great again.

• 8:09Patrick Bet-David?

  What is the feeling you're getting? By the way, what is the feeling you're getting? Because, Rob, can you show one of the clips with him, and, is it John Kennedy, who's the one that was speaking to? Kennedy? Yeah, play one of the clips of Adam there today. I got a lot of thoughts on tonight. And we have 42 minutes until he gets started. Why don't you just show the clip from the beginning of Adam being there, show the official stuff, make him look good, because, you know, Adam likes this kind of stuff. Go ahead, Rob.

• 8:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam is literally in DC today. He was at the State of the Union press, talking to a bunch of congressmen and women.

• 8:48Speaker 05

  Nice. It looks cool. First question, the number one concern on most Americans' mind is the economy, affordability. Everyone's concerned what the government can do, but what could individuals and families do better to save that money?

• 9:02Speaker 06

  To paraphrase Congresswoman Omar, I love you like a brother, but, but, but please behave tonight.

• 9:08Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 9:09Speaker 06

  Don't, don't act like you're having a grand mal seizure. I say the same thing to my Republican colleagues. We're all there to hear the president. We're not there to hear each other. Number two, here's what I think the president will do tonight, what I hope he does. Adam, I hope he will look at the American people in the eye and talk to them about things that moms and dads are worried about when they lie down and sleep, try to sleep at night and can't.

• 9:35Speaker 07

  Sharia law and Islamification of America. We see what's happening in New York with Mabdaani. We see what's happening in Dearborn, Michigan, other places around the country. Texas is ground zero. Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth, where you've got this epic city, you've got this Islamic center in Houston.

• 9:49Patrick Bet-David?

  We'll have more stuff that'll come. What I want to ask from Adam is the following. Adam, what is the feeling you're getting from talking to everybody there? What are they thinking's gonna happen tonight? What are they saying's gonna happen tonight? We, we read the reports, we've seen, you know, the number I have right now, six senators will not be attending tonight. Patty Murray, Chris Van Hollen, Ruben Gallego, Tina Smith, Ed Markey, you got Jeff Merkley, and then you have 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 4, 6, 8. Around 15 representatives won't be there tonight. Catherine Clark, who's the minority whip, Jim Himes, Yasmin Ansari, Ami Bera, Delia Ramirez, Sean Casten. We got a bunch of other names there as well, all, all across the country.

• 10:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Rokanis apparently gonna be bringing one of the girls from the Epstein,

• 10:39Patrick Bet-David?

  one of the girls from the Epstein that apparently she was the one that was bringing The girls. The girls to him, that, you know, she was getting paid to bring the other girls. Rokanis gonna bring that girl there. There's gonna be a couple other things. I mean, I know Thomas Massey's allegedly gonna be sitting with Democrats. So there, it's gonna be a spectacle. But what are you feeling from talking to everybody? What are they saying?

• 11:00Speaker 05

  Well, if you, you're talking about the state of the union, the state of the economy, and state of America right now, if you only polled or spoke to Republicans, you'd have in great unison that America's greater than ever. We're making America great again. So everyone is excited about what Trump is doing. You know, I asked him, hey, what do you maybe disagree with what he's doing? They were very dismissive of that. They said, listen, there's a lot of things that the Democrats can criticize him about. But Trump's playing offense. We're here advocating for him. We love what he's doing. We respect what he's doing. We voted for this. You know, Trump's on offense, is what they keep saying. He's playing offense where, what are the Democrats doing? They're just booing from the sidelines right there. So it's the, the classic Teddy Roosevelt, you know, man in the arena situation.

• 11:44Speaker 05

  Trump is going at warp speed, playing offense, where the Democrats are just booing, and they have all these different other agendas. But the one thing they don't have, it seems, is patriotism, when every single Republican is proud to be an American, proud of what President Trump is doing, and excited for the State of the Union tonight.

• 12:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. So, you know, for me, I think if it's the other way around, and if the Democrats were there, and you had an opportunity to capitalize, you know, people, I know Tom is saying, I hope they don't do anything, I hope they don't do anything like this. There was a guy back in the days in 2009, when Obama said, nothing's gonna happen with your taxes, with healthcare, nothing's gonna go up. There was a guy named Joe Wilson that stood up and said, you lie. I don't know if you guys remember that or not, when that took place under Obama. If you have that clip, Rob, if you want to play it. So, that's not the right thing to do. I have a feeling there's gonna be a lot of those. What was one of the Nancy Pelosi, what does she do when she ripped the speech? She poured the State of the Union, yeah. And then you had some of the people that were holding up signs against Elon Musk.

• 12:48Patrick Bet-David?

  If you remember those handles when they had with Doge, and they were talking about some things with Elon. I don't know if you remember that. I forgot, like, pink or something. Year ago, something like that. Go ahead, Rob. Play that clip if you have it. Here's President Obama. Go for it.

• 13:05Speaker 07

  This too is false. The reforms, the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally.

• 13:15Patrick Bet-David?

  That's Joseph Wilson. Look at Nancy's face. This is Nancy's face.

• 13:18Speaker 07

  Not true.

• 13:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 13:21Speaker 07

  And one more.

• 13:22Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, I don't know if you guys noticed or not, Obama looks like he's 27 years old. He looks like he's 78 right now. He's aged a lot, but here's what I think is gonna happen. We can sit here and, you know, I can't apologize for who I voted for, where I'm at. Nothing has changed for me. I supported this man 16, 20, 24. However, you have to pay attention to numbers. We will show CNN polls when Harry Enton is showing poll numbers that are looking favorable for Trump. And you know, sometimes you're like, well, we're not gonna show that poll because that poll is not a good poll to show. Let's not show that one. Let's only show the positive polls. I don't know if you guys saw yesterday what Harry Enton showed. If you want to pull this, Rob, right before. Okay, and I got some thoughts on this, Rob. I gave you the clip.

• 14:05Patrick Bet-David?

  I think you have it. This is yesterday, right before State of the Union. If you haven't seen this yet, this is same Harry Enton that's been showing a lot of polls that are favorable for Trump. This is him yesterday. And out of everything he shows, the only one I care about is about independence. That's the only one I care about. Rob, just play the first minute. Go for it.

• 14:29Speaker 06

  CNN's Harry Enton is running the numbers on this one for us. Harry, what's your take with what you're looking at on how people are feeling about how Trump is doing in this moment?

• 14:38Speaker 05

  Yeah, okay, I would borrow the phrasing of Tony Blair, of course, the former Prime Minister of Great Britain, saying, "Weak, weak, weak." It was weak over there in the United Kingdom. It is weak here in the United States when it comes to President Trump. Okay, Trump's net approval rating, look at all the pre-Sotis polls, the State of the Union. Look at this. Okay, we're at this point. Look at that. Negative 27 points. My goodness gracious, the snow is up to the knees here in New York City, and Trump seems to be well underneath it at this point. Compare that to where he was in 20, 20, 2019, and 2018 in term one going into those State of the Unions. Minus 10, way lower. Minus 15, way lower now. Minus 15, way lower now. The bottom line is this: Donald Trump has never been weaker going into a State of the

• 15:23Speaker 05

  Union address according to CNN polling than he is right now, and weaker by a considerable amount.

• 15:28Speaker 06

  So this is his first term to his second term. How does it compare to other presidents at this point in their second term, though?

• 15:35Speaker 05

  Yeah, okay. It's not just that Donald Trump is breaking records compared to himself when it comes to State of the Unions. He's breaking records compared to other presidents at this point going into a State of the Union. What are we talking about? Look at all the 21st century presidents on your screen right here, about at this point in a second term going into the State of the Union. Trump at minus 27 points. Obama was at minus 15 points. George W. Bush was at minus 11 points. You don't have to be a mathematical genius to know that minus 27 points is considerably lower than minus 15 or minus 11. So Trump isn't just weaker than he's ever been going into a State of the Union address. He is weaker than any other president this century going into a State of the Union address at this point in their second term.

• 16:15Speaker 06

  We're talking about it all throughout the show as we're going through these numbers, but talk about what is driving this drop for the president.

• 16:22Speaker 05

  What is driving this drop? I said, "Record" was the name of the game when it came to this segment, right? Talking about the lowest Trump has ever been going into the State of the Union, the lowest that any president has been this century going into a State of the Union at this point in their presidency. It is also the weakest that Donald Trump has ever been with independents. Look at this drop! We've been talking about it the past few months. At this point, a year ago, Donald Trump was at minus 13 points. Look at this! Minus 47 points among independents, the lowest Donald Trump has ever been in either of his two terms as president with independents. That is driving these numbers. When you're 47 points underwater with independents, that's the name of the game.

• 17:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so how do you feel about that? What do you think about that, when you see a number like that? Do you guys feel anything when you see a number like that? What do you think? What does it make you think? You'd like to see the point. I think Harry Enton is fairly fair. You know, when you, when you, when you look at some of these things, to me, here's how I process it. I think Democrats are so flip, flipping lucky right now, and they better capitalize. And here's why. What happened the last seven days? If we were to look at what happened last seven days, it's what? The tariff Supreme Court goes 6-3. Everything you read about today, it's what? Lawsuits, lawsuits, lawsuits, lawsuits. EU is gonna come back and say, we're not gonna meet the tariffs that you're saying because you're on Supreme Court.

• 17:51Patrick Bet-David?

  It's voting against you. What the tariffs did when they went 6-3. That threw a lot of people off. The Supreme Court went the other way. Now, we know there's still other ways that he can go about it. You know, you're gonna hear FedEx today. What did FedEx today come out and say?

• 18:04Tom Ellsworth?

  Officially sued to get their money back. Not just the press release. Federal Express sued the federal government, looking to get all of the tariff money back that they paid.

• 18:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Which is pretty nasty. And by the way, this kind of stuff happens while you're going through it. And then what else is going on right now as we're going into the State of the Union? You got the indecision, what's going on with Iran? Everyone's wondering what's gonna happen here. So the independents that are in the middle, they're sitting there saying, are we gonna do this? Are we not gonna do this? Some of them are gonna be non-interventionalists. There's a lot of stuff that's gonna be going on. And I think tonight there's gonna be so many surprises unknown that they're gonna try to rattle the president. But here's what I think is gonna be happening. When we look at this kind of stuff, the president said something the other day that we're not doing a good job talking about our successes and marketing. Let me give you some numbers for you to be thinking about when you see that right there.

• 18:57Patrick Bet-David?

  A year and a half ago, everybody was worried about bordering criminals coming through. When's the last time you thought about what's going on with border? Bingo. Lowest since 1970.

• 19:09Patrick Bet-David?

  He made America safer. Murder rates from 25 to 24, down 20%. Down 20%. We can continue with these things that we're talking about. Tax reform. People are putting more money back into their business when they're hiring people. Remember when we used to see all these men and women's sports? What did he do? No men in women's sports. Parents out there sitting there saying, "Man, I had a lot of sports where guys would come in and competing." No, we're not going to be talking about that stuff. Remember the whole ESG stuff that we would hear about all over the place? Remember DEI? How many of these companies that were faces of ESG and DEI? Like BlackRock? Nope, we're going away from it. Goldman Sachs? Nope, we're going away from it. What even happened to Disney right now that they do our annual gay parade at Disney?

• 19:53Patrick Bet-David?

  They said, "No, we ain't doing it this year." Why is it happening now? You know, you look at the stuff Disney had to do. Kathleen Kennedy, that every other cartoon they were doing, they were putting some kind of an LGBTQ character on her. She stepped down. January, December 31st of last year. So a lot of this stuff that's happening, but they've not done a good job marketing this stuff. He claims he ended eight and a half wars. Whatever the number is, he stopped a lot of wars. He's still got a couple of other things that's going on. What they did with Venezuela. You know, "We don't want to do this. We don't want another war with Venezuela." He went in, they got it done, they left. News, "Oh my God, it's going to be horrible." No, it was actually the... Gave credit to our great Delta Force and Navy SEAL what they did.

• 20:35Patrick Bet-David?

  But, you know, and then what they did with Iran's nuclear bombs, we don't give that enough credit. The baby Trump accounts, that a lot of other companies, you saw Michael Dell coming out and saying, "Hey, we're going to be good for this." And many of the corporate companies, you know, joined him on that. Gas prices. Drill, baby drill. I can say a bunch of different things. I mean, he even got, you know, this may be the biggest accomplishment. Some people thought this was never possible. Some people here are probably going to get emotional when I tell you this. He was the only man in the history of America that was able to get Rosie O'Donnell to leave America. That's a massive accomplishment. I mean, you guys got to realize, this kind of stuff is not easy to do. We've had Obama, Clinton, Bush, a lot of people couldn't pull it off. Even Biden couldn't pull it off. But she left. So, in all seriousness, I do think...

• 21:18Patrick Bet-David?

  If I am a campaign strategist for Democrats, you best capitalize off of today. But if you push too far, people gonna see you as well when it comes down to midterms this year. But I don't think the Republicans don't have anything that they need to address as well. I do think affordability is something they gotta address. I do think this Epstein stuff was a big fumble. I do think the Epstein stuff, Pam Bondi handed that to the Democrats. Here you go. Thomas Massey and Rokano ran with it. And it was like, oh my God, where's the other stuff? Where's the other stuff? Where's the other stuff? Instead, you could have done it in a very methodical, structured way, not in the way that they did it that turned into the fumble it was. That was a massive screw up. That created a lot of noise.

• 22:00Patrick Bet-David?

  So today, as much as we know all this stuff, and FYI, when, when, you know, my friend Tom here will say, you know, I hope everybody stays classy tonight. I hope everybody does this tonight. I mean, look, here's what I know about how the world works. I used to do business videos, and these business videos used to be, here's how to hire, here's how to raise money, here's how to do this, okay. Everybody liked me. Oh my God, your business content is great. Here's how to expand into a new market. Here's how to sign, you know, do a, here's how to do this. Oh, this guy's good. The moment I gave my opinion on political issues, I officially had enemies. So should I sit there and say, feel sorry for me? No, I knew it was coming. What happens when they give you an opinion?

• 22:46Patrick Bet-David?

  You have a different opinion. Somebody's gonna come and push back. Oh my God, he's this, he's that, that's how the market works. If I go out there and say some stuff about Islam and what some of the folks that do the Islamists, and I say, some markets are not safe, or somebody may come back and criticize and say, you know what? You're all about Israel, that's what you are, you're taking us $7,000. It's a very natural reaction. I'm not surprised by it. So meaning... If they pull off a publicity stunt today at the State of the Union, don't be surprised. You know why not? The President brought three of Bill Clinton's victims at a debate with his wife standing right next to him that he's debating. Do you understand what I'm saying? So, President Trump is very comfortable wrestling with everybody.

• 23:29Patrick Bet-David?

  But he's a big boy. He's gonna come in, I have a feeling, uh, uh, he's gonna do what he does best. He's gonna put it in their faces, they're gonna hate it, they're gonna lose their shit, he's gonna stay calm, he's gonna deliver his message. God willing, he does that. We don't know what's gonna happen. Temperatures are pretty high right now. But I do think they're gonna capitalize off this, uh, the polls, the numbers, the issues with Epstein. I think Democrats are salivating right now. By the way, the Supreme Court ruling could have been done next week. Big difference. Imagine he does the State of the Union tonight and they announce Supreme Court next Tuesday. Imagine if those were the dates. Very big difference in storyline, right? So just think about how everything happened in a certain way leading up to this.

• 24:13Patrick Bet-David?

  And there's a reason why they call him Teflon Don because he knows how to handle it. We've never had a guy like this before as a President, so I'm actually excited to see what he does here tonight. Tom, your thoughts?

• 24:21Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, I agree with you. You gotta have an opinion. And, um, I voted for him. I don't regret that I voted for him. I love all the victories. I wanna see more from the economy and I wanna hear a strong plan for the economy. Uh, I know that, um, he's gonna spike the football on the border and we should. And he's got a lot of things he can talk about. I wanna hear a strong plan for the economy. That's what I wanna hear. Um, I, and, you know, my comment was, I kinda long for the days where there was statesmanship and decorum. Because it's not what we look like to each other. We'll fight in the bar and things like that. You know, we're Americans. I just hate that the rest of the world sees this. I hate the rest of the world looks at it because we are the leader. Thirty-one trillion dollars, this is, this is,

• 25:06Tom Ellsworth?

  you know, this huge economy and this world leadership. And where we are, the world needs us. The world is safer when America is strong and America is in control. The world is safer. That's just a fact. History proves it, you know, the Europeans saying, "The Yanks are coming." You know, that was a song. Why did it happen? It happened because they were looking forward to us coming to help. The world's been able to depend on this historically. Yeah, we've had our faults, but I want to hear a strong plan tonight for America. And I hate when the discord kind of spills over and you've got Europe making the comments like they're making because, "Look, without firing a shot, he went through Europe and he got trade deals done."

• 25:51Tom Ellsworth?

  Those deals were done because we had been abused. We were the weaker party, having been abused in some of these trade and tariff deals that Europe had. And he goes, "No more. We were funding NATO to protect them." And he said, "Pay your own way. We'll pay to be a part of it, but you gotta pay your own way." That's leadership and that is America first and not America only. And I want to hear strength tonight for the economy and I want to see strength for us on a world stage. And what's happened this past week really has disappointed me on the latter.

• 26:23Speaker 04

  Can you imagine, Tommy? Can you just take a second and imagine what he would have been able to accomplish if the Democrats and the left weren't just relentlessly trying to destroy him, Tom?

• 26:34Tom Ellsworth?

  Just because, just because.

• 26:35Speaker 04

  Thank you. Just because, dude, they still cannot believe that this guy, this billionaire, New York, playboy turned reality star, became the president. And since that moment, he was even shocked. They made it their, their one priority to try to destroy him, to subvert the will of us, the people, the real people that voted and support the president, Tom. It's been like that forever, Pat, and he made a great point.

• 26:58Tom Ellsworth?

  They did subvert the will of us once.

• 27:00Speaker 04

  They subvert, oh, it's, this is a known fact. Obama and Brennan and all them spied on an incoming president. Hillary did the Russia collusion thing. He was already set off on a, on a crash course. How, how can, Pat, how can you do your job if five people from this room are spying on you, setting stuff up, tapping your phone, "Oh, you went over here," or "He's a Russian asset," for four years and he still was trying to do his job? And then we're finding out in Fulton County, they're, guys, they're investigating on all the cheating that was happening. Fallen County, blocking all the windows and doing all that stuff. And then, is it weird, Pat? We talk about affordability, we talk about tariffs. Is it, pay attention. What happened in 2019, 2020? Trump was holding China accountable and making them pay their fair share, making them pay tariffs.

• 27:44Speaker 04

  And then, all of a sudden, a virus comes out of a lab from China and destroys the world, and they have zero accountability, zero. And these same people, Xi Jinping shows up to San Francisco, he's treated like a god, Tom. The homeless people disappear.

• 27:59Tom Ellsworth?

  They shipped them to San Francisco, they put them on buses to Sacramento.

• 28:03Speaker 04

  Sacramento.

• 28:03Tom Ellsworth?

  From San Francisco to Sacramento, so that it would look nice for his visit.

• 28:07Speaker 04

  Yeah, and so, he makes a great point. Those are three CNN polls, I get it, but it's like, enough is enough. They've been going after this guy forever, the wars. And I want to ask you a question, Pat. How much of those independents are shifting? Because I know, you know, social media's changed. Nobody's really watching mainstream media, but at the end of the day, they're still, it's still working. You know what I mean? Like, wars, he's gonna start a war. No, no, he didn't. He went in there and 45 minutes, took Maduro, took his ass out, that's it. He's, World War III, he was in North Korea. No, no, no, he didn't. Iran, he did this, no, we bombed one little surgical strike. He's being surgical and methodical. I just wish the other side, and I get it, left and right, Pat, it has to be Democrat, Republican. Let him do his job, criticize him all you want, there's a lot of stuff.

• 28:51Speaker 04

  On the Epstein stuff, guess what? 3, 3 and 3 and 1/2 million released, okay, I'm fine. You know what I'm not fine with, guys? Why are the male names all redacted? Victims, I don't want to see one victim's name, zero. But it says Jeffrey Epstein, G, J E Epstein vacation, that was his email. Why are you redacting the male names? Put them out there. I want to see every single guy that was involved with either torturing, raping, or murdering these people. Because I talked about this last week, Pat. You guys think they were gonna sleep with these men and let them live their lives after seeing their faces? Absolutely not. And that 30 seconds missing in the jail cell, that's such a shame, and you nailed it. The biggest blunder is what the FBI and the DOJ and Pam Bondi did. And it's bad, I can at least criticize them on that.

• 29:35Speaker 04

  But the rest of it, it's like, he has to be able to do his damn job, but he's On the way out, Pat, I don't think it's a big deal for him. I don't think he cares. I really don't.

• 29:42Patrick Bet-David?

  You don't think he cares?

• 29:43Speaker 04

  I think at this point, he's used to it. He's tired of them.

• 29:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Right.

• 29:47Speaker 04

  He's gonna let them know this is what I'm doing, cuz who's next? Pat, he's not, he's not running. As much as CNN wants to tell you, he's running again, he's not gonna run. This is the setup for Rubio or JD Vance, letting them know, guys, this is what we're doing.

• 29:59Patrick Bet-David?

  But let me tell you what, what he does care about. You know, he's a polls guy. He's a guy that pays, I've never seen a president that pays attention to polls the way he does, okay? Never. So if you, if you think about what he does pay attention to, he, he is still, if, if midterms is a bloodbath, oh, he has to, you know, that's a very, very important thing he has to pay attention.

• 30:22Speaker 04

  But it, but from, from what the, it's looking like, it's gonna be bad.

• 30:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, no, you can still adjust. You can still make adjustments. You still have to find ways to improve. You still have to find ways to make adjustments. You still have to find ways. He is a guy that takes pride to anything his name being attached to. He has a lot of pride behind it, a lot of pride behind it, if his name's attached to it. So no. I, I do think he cares because the way, listen, the way these people set up America at the beginning, like, today I was interviewing the founder of a Palantir. He was right here. We're sitting down having a conversation for two hours. And he explains about the Supreme Court. And we talked about the AI and all this stuff. And I said, why does, why do people think Palantir is an evil company? He broke it down in a very interesting way. But one of the things he said is, isn't it amazing

• 31:11Patrick Bet-David?

  how these philosophers built America, this constitution that protects us, this piece of paper, what they wrote, 1776 to 1789 to America, America in a way where, you know, would I like the president to be able to have more decisions being made? Of course. Would I have liked the tariffs have gone his ways? Of course. Would I have him to be able to make a lot of executive decisions and things go his way? Of course. But would I have that at the cost of somebody on the other side who's crazy to be able to come and do things that I fully disagree with? No, no, no, no, no. Let's. Trust the Constitution. That's why, that is why we comfortably say.

• 31:54Patrick Bet-David?

  This is why you and I wear this, this right here. When we wear this and we put this on. And people see this beautiful, says what? USA. USA, red, white and blue. The flag on the side. This is why we comfortably say. America's the greatest country in the world. Amen. This is why right now, can you yell out what country? Your family is from, okay, on three. Scream out the country your family is from, one, two, three. Did you hear a consistency of a country? No, I did hear Cuba though, I can tell you, somebody said Cuba over there. How many guys are Cuba, we're in Miami, like half the people are from Cuba. Two people are from Cuba, but you heard everything. That's what makes this. The greatest country in the world, and when you become a president. I like the fact, like for us, Vinny.

• 32:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes. You know, every quarter, we do calibrations for employees. And what did it get judged on, five things, what are the five things? Effort. Attitude. Teamwork. Innovation and results. Either, what we call it, right? Efforts, attitudes, teamwork, innovation, results. We do that quarterly. And we say your score's dropped and it's zero to 10. It's all to 50. So if you're between 25 to 38, 39. Meets expectations, 39 to 44, 45. Exceeds, and you got, you know. Outstanding. And hey, does not meet, hey, you need improvement. The calibration we have in America is midterms. And then we got elections. And you better perform.

• 33:22Patrick Bet-David?

  And, and the debate of going back and forth, what model would be a bad model? That's a whole different story, by the way, for those of you guys that also love America, let me give a quick shout out before we get this thing done. Rob, can we, can we do, show the. That the guys, that the crew create, play this clip, I just love seeing our American flag. And a merch that we have here. We got our guys are in Italy at the Mykam show, walking around wearing American flag material. Yes. Go ahead, Rob, play the clip, go for it.

• 33:48Patrick Bet-David?

  You just had a minute ago, Rob. Go for it.

• 33:50Speaker 00

  If you love this country, show it.

• 33:54Speaker 00

  Lead with pride in the ValueTainment USA collection.

• 33:58Speaker 00

  Designed for freedom thinkers, built for everyday leaders.

• 34:03Speaker 00

  Red, white, blue. Purpose. Wear what you believe in. ValueTainment USA.

• 34:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Go to VTmerch.com, place your order for the USA hat and the future look bright. Gear, represent, go to war, confuse your peers. Any reason why you're wearing a USA hat? Yeah, because I love this country. By the way, you got two hockey teams, men and women. Okay, they win the what? They win the gold. Anybody saw how the men won the gold? How sick was that, right? Good for the ladies, good for men. Both are invited to go to the White House. The ladies, they have a busy schedule. The men, they're going to the White House to see the president. You guys saw this clip when he called them and congratulated them, Rob? Do you have that clip of him speaking to those guys?

• 34:44Speaker 04

  It was a long call.

• 34:45Patrick Bet-David?

  It was a long call. We're not gonna listen to the whole call, but Rob, if you got like a quick glimpse of it to show, he's calling them, congratulations, you know, they're celebrating. We cannot believe we're getting a call from the president. Go ahead, Rob.

• 35:06Patrick Bet-David?

  You can pause it right there. Isn't that great? Isn't that great where you're not only proud to represent that brand? And you got some of these other guys. Well, yeah, just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that America is doing here right now. Then go freaking wear a different jersey. Go wear something else if you're not proud to represent this. Put it on, be proud of it, okay? And for me, for tonight, as we're going through this and the message that he's gonna be giving and whatever spectacle they're gonna try to do it. You know, you know one thing we learned? The one thing we learned is noise comes, noise goes. You have to stay tough as this is happening. There's a, there was a message, Rob. Do you have that clip? This, this, this video here I'm about to show you guys, it is so funny.

• 35:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Here's somebody, a young lady, goes on a campus, asking students, "What did you think about the State of the Union speech last night that the president gave?" You understand? It hasn't happened. Do you understand what just happened? She's going asking random students, "What did you think? What do you give the president's speech last night, State of the Union, 0 to 10?" Look at the way they're answering. Vinny, have you seen this or no? No. Go ahead, Rob.

• 36:13Speaker 06

  College kids are telling us Trump's State of the Union didn't go so well. The only problem, it's tomorrow. Rate Trump's State of the Union speech, 1 out of 10. 1's the worst, 10's the best. Negative. And why?

• 36:26Speaker 06

  I think we all know, a lot of reasons. What about the State of the Union last night? 1 to 10?

• 36:30Speaker 00

  It was like a 1 or 2. I mean, it was out of the place. Probably just give it a 0.

• 36:35Speaker 06

  You're gonna give it a 1? And why do you say 1? Um, I just, I don't think he's very articulate. How did Trump do at the State of the Union? 0. Uh, I don't really realize that I watched it. You didn't watch it? Like, yeah, I didn't really watch it much. I watched it for a little bit, but, you know. The State of the Union last night, how, how was that, 1 to 10? I know it was last night, I thought it was tomorrow. No, you're good. You passed the test. Good job.

• 36:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Where is that now? Wild. Kids are going to college, they don't even know. They're like, "That wasn't good."

• 37:03Speaker 04

  Yeah, and then we-

• 37:03Patrick Bet-David?

  I watched a little bit of it, Vinny, it was terrible.

• 37:05Speaker 04

  And then you talk about indoctrination and the, and then you talk about, "Why are people hating and why do people hate Trump and why are independents thinking a certain way?" Guys, it's still, unless you're following, you know, a lot of time, a lot of people say, "You know, oh, no, I don't get involved with politics." No, no, politics is involved with you. I don't care, even if you want to be completely oblivious and walk around like everything's fine, think about it. They don't, they didn't see anything, they just know, they've been basically trained to know, "No, he's horrible."

• 37:32Tom Ellsworth?

  The lemmings are programmed.

• 37:34Speaker 04

  Exactly. And they're like, like, in the history of time, besides actually Hitler, has there ever been a time where people are openly going, "Oh, no, no, that guy is Hitler." All right, I've seen Jewish people say, "That guy is Hitler." Do you understand where that, that happens, that, that brain TDS, disease for you to call somebody that killed millions and mil- gasped? And burned alive and murdered that many Jews, for you to call that guy Hitler? That's why. That thing spreads and people don't even know. They've never even seen him speak a- at the State of the Union and they're like, "Yeah, he was horrible." I give him a 1. That's what I'm trying to get at, Tom. All the independents, all this people, all these CNN polls, who are you polling? Who are you talking to? Trump haters? Of course they're gonna say, "He's not doing well," because they've been told. They've been told that he's not doing well since day one.

• 38:19Speaker 04

  Since day one, it's been an uphill battle. It's been an uphill battle. I'm not, I'm not complaining at all.

• 38:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam, are you out there with us?

• 38:26Tom Ellsworth?

  Yes, sir.

• 38:27Patrick Bet-David?

  What are you thinking?

• 38:29Speaker 05

  So number one, shout out to the men's hockey team. They visited Miami last night. The number one club in Miami is 11. They were there celebrating, popping bottles. I don't know if you saw any of the videos. Draping the American flag, singing the national anthem. It was incredible. I got my man on the street there. Unfortunately, I couldn't be there at 11. I would have loved to join them there, celebrating. But incredible what they did. Of course, the women, they're too busy to show up. What else do you got going on, ladies? The Olympics is done. You guys, do you get to pretend that you're playing in meaningless games? So, respect to the men's team. I think they're gonna be here tonight. But you guys were talking about Trump, right, PBD? So, you know the book. You've talked about this nice guy's finish last. Say what you want about Trump. He's not a nice guy.

• 39:13Speaker 05

  Sometimes you need an a-hole to get in there and bust things up. And you know, politics is messy. I was interviewing all these very skilled politicians. They're bobbing and weaving my tough questions today. But politics is ugly. But you know, they say, you know, be careful when you wrestle with a pig. You're both gonna get dirty. But the pig loves it. So, you, PBD, you said one thing about the poll numbers, which you're right. Trump genuinely is concerned about his poll numbers. Not so much about the Dems, but the independents. You talked about the independents. I think he had the biggest drop in independents in a long time. But if I'm gonna quote John Kennedy, he's like, if you trust the polls, you might as well trust Justice Smollett. So, who knows what's going on? But Trump is gonna get up there, play offense tonight, show patriotism.

• 39:58Speaker 05

  And one last thing. You know, one of the greatest gifts that Trump, unfortunately, unforced error, that he gave to the Democrats were these two people that were killed by ICE. The Democrats don't wanna talk about the 10, 20 million people that were potentially led into the country. But God forbid, two paid agitators show up and get in the way of ICE, and they get killed. They wanna harp on that. So that was a gift to the Dems, and I think the independents saw that. But I interviewed an ICE officer today in Dallas. He's actually, he works, he was a guest of your friend, I believe, Tom, Congresswoman Beth Van Dyne, and she gave you a shout out. You as well, PBD. She says, I think she's meeting with you soon. She was with an ICE officer.

• 40:43Speaker 05

  You remember when someone shot at an ICE facility in Dallas? Do you remember that? About a month ago or two? And he goes, yeah, I was there. I got shot at. But they also interviewed, there was a big press conference with the fallen angels family, the people that are responsible for doing the Lakin Riley Act. So they don't want to talk about the illegals that are coming in the country, killing people. They want to focus on these two paid agitators who are getting in the way of ICE. But Trump's got an agenda. He's going to stick to it. Whole numbers be damned. He's going to do what he's got to do to make America.

• 41:15Speaker 04

  But Adam, I don't, I disagree with the phrasing of he gave them a gift. He didn't get them a gift. They were, it was a setup because they were told again that ICE is Gestapo. You have Tim Wall saying, go get in their faces and go fight, go. And then that happens. I don't think it was a gift. I think it was set up and the Democrats got exactly what they want. They baited it. They baited it and they got exactly what they want. And now they have the talking points. So that's why I wouldn't.

• 41:39Speaker 05

  I'm in, I'm in DC. I'm looking presidential. I'm not going to fight with you today. You know much I love that. But I love you guys and it's great to see you.

• 41:45Speaker 04

  Are you wearing pants? Because we can't tell. Okay, good.

• 41:49Patrick Bet-David?

  That's why he's sitting down. So by the way, Rob, can you show the clip of Rokana? This is who Rokana is going to be having tonight at the State of the Union. And then Scott Jennings had a quick response to who Rokana was going to have tonight at the State of the Union. Go ahead, Rob.

• 42:06Speaker 06

  I'm Congressman Rokana. I'm so honored to have Haley Robson as my State of the Union guest tonight. Haley is a survivor and a mother. She was sexually abused at the age of 16 and 17 by Jeffrey Epstein. It was horrific. And I'm so offended that today people are attacking her, even though she went through some of the most horrific things imaginable for any human being. You know what I think? Instead of attacking survivors, how about we start holding the perpetrators accountable? How about we start holding the Epstein class accountable? It is only because of the courage of people like Haley that Thomas Massey and

• 42:50Speaker 06

  I were able to release the Epstein files. They stood in front of the Capitol. They've shared and relived their trauma. They showed so much courage. They moved the nation. And my commitment is we will not.

• 43:03Speaker 01

  Not quit, we will not rest until we get justice for the survivors. Haley, thank you for being with us today. Thank you so much for having me. It means the world to be able to walk into a room where I know that I am respected and outspoken, and I have the backing of Thomas Massey and Ro Khanna. The support means everything to survivors everywhere, and we will bring the fight to DC. Thank you for having me, Ro Khanna. Thank you. You are inspiring the country with your courage. Thank you all.

• 43:29Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, if I know the story correctly, she was in the documentary, the four-part documentary, and she was the one that was bringing other girls and making $200 per girl she brought. And if I'm not mistaken, she's the one in the documentary that says, why am I getting arrested? What did I do wrong? And they're like, wait a minute, you're bringing these young high school girls over to Epstein? And if you haven't seen a four-part documentary, you have to watch it if you've never seen it. If you can play the clip of Scott Jennings responding to Ro Khanna, here's what Scott Jennings had to say. Go ahead, Rob.

• 44:03Speaker 05

  You heard the name there, Haley Robson. Now, Ro Khanna says she is speaking for the survivors, but is she? The files show something completely different, that Haley Robson was, in fact, someone who worked with Jeffrey Epstein to recruit young women to the island. According to CNN's reporting, and I'm just going to read it to you, quote, "Robson told police she remembered bringing six girls to Epstein and told authorities she was like a Heidi Fleiss, the Hollywood madam who ran a high-class prostitution ring. Robson provided police with the names of some of the girls she had brought to Epstein's house. She gave the officers the cell phone numbers for four of them and told police she wanted

• 44:44Speaker 05

  to assist the investigation in hopes of receiving lesser charges for herself." Here's more from CBS News. Haley Robson received $200 payments each time she escorted a new masseuse to Epstein's home, according to the police reports. Robson targeted girls from the rural area outside Palm Beach where she grew up because Epstein believed they were less likely to complain to authorities. Here again.

• 45:10Speaker 06

  Robson likened herself to the so-called Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss in an interview with Palm Beach Police. And Epstein, she said, once admonished her for bringing a 23-year-old recruit to his home because she was told, "The younger, the better." So of all the possible people that Congressman Ro Khanna could bring to the speech tonight to highlight the Epstein issue?

• 45:31Patrick Bet-David?

  He's got a point.

• 45:31Speaker 04

  No, he definitely has a point. Okay, and I'm gonna play devil's advocate. These girls were 15, 16, Virginia Giuffre, God rest her soul. Like, think about it. If you groom these girls and tell them they have to do it, I mean, at that age, 16 years old, they're making money. I know, I'm not saying it's a good thing, but I think shame, shame on Ro Khanna for using them as a political tool. Because that's what it is, Pat. This Epstein stuff has been going on forever. Now again, because it makes Trump look bad, they're bringing this up. You know, if he was a real, listen, if he's the real deal, you work in Congress, you work for the United States government. Why don't you promise, these girls, all these survivors, promise them protection and name the names?

• 46:13Speaker 04

  All right? You're gonna be protected. You're not gonna suicide yourself. We're gonna protect you. Bring down the house. Tom, you know the saying I always say, "Let justice be done till the heavens fall." Bring them down. As you guys see, in the United States, all we're seeing right now is this CEO stepping down. This guy's retiring. This guy, no arrest, nobody's going to jail, but in the UK, they're actually putting these people, they're arresting them, they're putting them in prison, the Norwegian guy, just, one of them just committed suicide, and he's all over the Epstein list. And then the Norway son or the prince, I don't wanna misstate, Rob, I think it's the, it's a younger blond-haired kid. He just went to prison for raping four girls. I forgot his name.

• 46:52Speaker 04

  So there's things happening, but if Ro Khanna, and I get it, Thomas Massey, they're all, they're all for America, they're all for these people. Grant them protection that you have the power to give, all right? And then name the names, or else this thing's gonna keep dragging on forever. And they have the power to do it.

• 47:07Tom Ellsworth?

  You know what I find is weird about this? I wonder if Ro Khanna knew her background, or if one of his people, his aides says, "Hey, we got one of the victims to go with you, we're gonna do this." And then today, after seeing all-

• 47:20Tom Ellsworth?

  of this and seeing Scott Jennings and other people, I'm kind of wondering, why is Ro Khanna doubling down and taking her? Because politicians get photographed with the wrong people all the time. People come to a fundraiser, all of a sudden you realize, hey, do you know you were at a fundraiser and you were, that was one of, you know, those financial fraud guys, you had a picture with them. I just took pictures with 60 people at a fundraiser, I didn't know. And that's the truth, that'll be the truth. But Ro Khanna gets out there, says all this stuff, and then all of this stuff gets exposed about what this girl, not once, but twice, said, I'm like Heidi Fleiss. She's making the act of, we were in LA, we know exactly who Heidi Fleiss is, if everybody else in America didn't know what an amazing, out of control story that was.

• 48:04Tom Ellsworth?

  And she said that twice. So if Ro Khanna knew that, and was gonna take her to the State of the Union, what's he thinking? But if he didn't know that, and now he finds it out afterwards, why are you doubling down? Why aren't you backing off and saying, I support the victims, I gave a statement yesterday, and it turns out this person was involved in other ways, she's not my guest. I just, I'm shocked he's doubling down, she's not gonna be there.

• 48:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, I mean, look, I mean, the reality is, him and Thomas Massey have gone very close, over the last 12 months. Thomas Massey, one report said that two GOP House members were gonna be sitting, joining the Dems at the State of the Union. This is from who, Rob? Which paper is this?

• 48:46Tom Ellsworth?

  This is Axios.

• 48:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Axios that's saying that, and then Thomas Massey on X, there's a picture showing that he's gonna be sitting with them, but that's from AP Post, that they got it wrong, and then Massey said, this is my view tonight at the State of the Union, from the Republican side of the aisle. So he cleared up all the noise that's being made of where he's gonna be sitting, which is good for Massey for doing so, so the audience knows. By the way, the President was asked about his State of the Union, as we're getting closer to this, Rob, I'm sure you're watching it when it comes live, give us an update on that. But here's the President, I think it was on Jesse Waters, Jesse made a comment about what the President told him once, which I thought was very interesting, Rob. If you have that, play the clip of what the President said to Jesse once about, when

• 49:32Patrick Bet-David?

  you get a chance to speak at the State of the Union. Yeah, right there, Rob, go for it.

• 49:37Speaker 04

  I interviewed him after he gave the RNC speech and I said, "Mr. President, that was a long speech." And he said, "Jesse, when the networks give you the time, you take the time." So he's gonna take all the time he needs, and he deserves a lot of time because, you agree, I'm the most objective person on this table, right?

• 49:55Speaker 05

  There's just no question about it.

• 49:56Speaker 04

  Objectively, Dana, this has been one of the best first years in the history of the presidency. Rates, rent, crime, crossings, all down. He got handed 3.0 inflation, got it down to 2.4% with the tariffs, and that's because he kept energy prices low. He's gonna try to press his advantage with the Democrats because he's gonna announce things that no one can sit down and not clap. He's gonna announce all of these great metric, like baby bonuses. He's getting $1,000 for a new baby. How are Democrats gonna sit there and not clap at that? He's gonna announce Maduro's capture. He might bring Maduro out in handcuffs and say, "Yeah, I got him." How are Democrats not gonna clap?

• 50:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Now, that would be a spectacle of justice.

• 50:43Speaker 04

  But then he has to lay out a very ambitious agenda. What's he gonna do next? What is it gonna be? It might be a surprise, it might be voter ID, but he's gotta make sure the House and the Senate keep pushing the agenda forward. We could see some surprises. And then, he's got the midterms. And so, he's gotta frame it. The Democrats, if you give them power, if you have the Republicans keep control, what's the difference? And we saw the difference. The Democrats were just in power, and they blew it. So we can't go back to that. He's gotta push the agenda forward. And then, finally, you mentioned it, Kellyanne, this is America's 250th birthday. And how fortunate it is for the President to be President during the 250-year birthday.

• 51:27Speaker 04

  So you'll hear a lot of themes of patriotism, of American exceptionalism, and he'll have some personal stories. We can talk about heroism, and you'll see the hockey guys out there, and everybody will be clapping for the hockey guys. The hockey guys might not even know what's going on because they're just a wee bit hung over. But if we can just keep this momentum

• 51:46Speaker 06

  Going, I know you're not going to change things right away, still kind of hung over from Bidenomics, but if he could just make sure the country understands where we were and where we're going, I think we'll be in a pretty good place to restore the American dream.

• 51:59Patrick Bet-David?

  What do you think?

• 52:00Speaker 04

  He actually, he actually made me, made me think about that moment of the surprises where people aren't going to be standing up, like to, to see how despicable they are. Remember the DJ, uh, what was his name? DJ Daniel, the 13-year-old black kid that was a cancer survivor? They made him an honorary Secret Service. Service agent. And guess what? And people were sitting down. Everybody, I'm crying, everybody's crying. Every Democrat just sat there, they didn't clap and they didn't give, that just shows you the disdain and the, hey, I'm very curious to see what, what, what he's going to do. Well, he could save puppies from like a burning building, people would be like, oh, Democrats. There he is, just a kid. Yeah, look, all the Democrats are sitting down. Do you remember that moment, Matt?

• 52:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Of course.

• 52:38Speaker 04

  Not all sitting, all still sitting down.

• 52:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, but listen, can, can I share some good news with you guys? Some people, you know, we need some good news. Rob, go ahead and play this clip. We want some good news for everybody here. Go for it, Rob. Okay.

• 52:52Speaker 06

  Will you run again?

• 52:53Patrick Bet-David?

  I haven't decided.

• 52:56Speaker 06

  You're still thinking about it?

• 52:58Patrick Bet-David?

  I might.

• 52:59Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 53:00Speaker 04

  Do it.

• 53:02Speaker 06

  That's what I've been saying. That's what I, I closed the book and I'm like, oh, she wants to, she's just thinking about it, about it. If, that was my impression. I don't know if that's what you intended, but that was my impression.

• 53:15Patrick Bet-David?

  No, the book is about a, a specific period in time. There was no agenda beyond what we've discussed already, which is just sharing with people. You know, the reality of, of the experience.

• 53:30Speaker 04

  We did it again, Joe.

• 53:32Patrick Bet-David?

  You can pause it right, right there. But can you, can you guys imagine her running again for 2028? Well, you know, I think it's the other way. To me, it's like, please, yes. Like, trust me, you would like to see that happen. Did you guys see what Newsom said the other day about Kamala Harris?

• 53:49Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 53:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Did you?

• 53:50Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 53:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you have that clip, Rob?

• 53:52Tom Ellsworth?

  Oh, it's a fan.

• 53:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Where he said, I don't think anybody's gonna understand what he was saying, except for him and Kamala. I don't think anybody, and probably some of the people in the state of California, probably know this. And by the way, we won't even explain to you what this means. If you don't get it, we're gonna kinda skip to the next story. But maybe play this clip here, Rob, just for splits. It's a short clip. Go ahead, Tom. And no, Tom, no inappropriate comments from you.

• 54:17Tom Ellsworth?

  I will make no inappropriate comments about people who've spoken that we know.

• 54:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Go ahead, Rob, Rob, Rob. Tom's gonna do it, no matter what. He can't hold him. That's why I'm speaking over him. Play the clip.

• 54:27Tom Ellsworth?

  And, uh, and, and, and for those that don't know Willie Brown, you wouldn't know Kamala Harris without Willie Brown. Damn.

• 54:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Look at the way he.

• 54:39Tom Ellsworth?

  Kamala and I both got elected the same.

• 54:41Patrick Bet-David?

  But, no, no, play it one more time. You didn't see this, but play it one more time. Hush.

• 54:45Tom Ellsworth?

  And, uh, and, and, and for those that don't know Willie Brown.

• 54:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Look at the pause.

• 54:50Tom Ellsworth?

  You wouldn't know Kamala Harris without Willie Brown.

• 54:54Patrick Bet-David?

  See how emotional he gets?

• 54:55Tom Ellsworth?

  See, I'm not talking. I was able to be quiet.

• 54:57Speaker 04

  Willie Brown was at home, you're damn right.

• 54:59Patrick Bet-David?

  But let me tell you, you know what he's doing. You know what he's doing. Do you know what that message is right there? What do you think that is?

• 55:05Tom Ellsworth?

  Oh, zero competition. That message is, if you walk across the line, I'm gonna drop the dime.

• 55:08Patrick Bet-David?

  That's exactly what that is. That's exactly what that is. It's like, you know, you wouldn't know Kamala Harris without Willie Brown. And he knows Kamala's gonna see that video and she's gonna be like, oh, I know what he's gonna do and he's gonna bring, and then what's, and so it's gonna get, anyways. The good news is, she's thinking about running. Kamala, if you're watching, I hope you do. There is a person I would like to see run even more than Kamala Harris. But listen, I have big dreams. I'm, I have very, very big dreams. If in my, if, if in 2028, if Katie Porter runs, I will be the happiest person alive. Katie Porter's a favorite.

• 55:41Speaker 04

  I will wear the shirt.

• 55:42Tom Ellsworth?

  It's gonna be Harris 28, two drinks minimum.

• 55:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. So, Rob, is this the part where he hasn't walked in yet, Rob? Where are we at as of right now?

• 55:51Tom Ellsworth?

  Space is big. Correct.

• 55:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Has he started shaking hands or not yet?

• 55:55Speaker 04

  No, I don't believe he's entered the chambers yet.

• 55:58Patrick Bet-David?

  So this is like when.

• 55:59Speaker 04

  Oh, there, they're about to announce him.

• 56:00Tom Ellsworth?

  The sergeant in arms, ladies and gentlemen.

• 56:03Speaker 04

  Can we hear it?

• 56:10Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, if anybody here wants to go get a drink, you may want to do it now because once it goes, you know, you may want to stay focused and locked in. So you got a couple minutes to get yourself a drink.

• 56:21Speaker 04

  Nine minutes to get to the stage.

• 56:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. Everybody, my god, everybody drink.

• 56:25Speaker 06

  Mr. Speaker, the President of the United States.

• 56:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Alright, so he's in the house. Let's, look at his face, see how he looks.

• 56:35Tom Ellsworth?

  John Thune, Biola University, right behind him there?

• 56:40Patrick Bet-David?

  See his face, what's he looking like? I just want to see face. Show me face.

• 56:50Patrick Bet-David?

  But you know what it is, you can mute it Rob, to me, you know, you know, don't pause it, just mute it Rob, let it keep going, yeah, there you go. To me, if you can press the button so it's live Rob, like go straight to, yeah, there you go, thank you. So, if you think about, guys, if we can keep it down, guys, because, fellas, fellas, Roberto, Roberto, talk in the back, not here buddy. My god, Roberto, this is why he's successful in life, he makes sales. No matter where he goes, he's prospecting meeting people. No, but, but to me, you know what I love about this guy? In my opinion, I think he's looking for this. I think he can't wait for it. I think he can't wait for it, because what

• 57:33Patrick Bet-David?

  is the story? In the area of 50 of the most impossible, most difficult things he's overcame in his life, where do you think this ranks?

• 57:43Speaker 04

  Oh, in his life?

• 57:43Patrick Bet-David?

  In his life.

• 57:44Speaker 04

  This has to be number-

• 57:45Tom Ellsworth?

  Forty-nine.

• 57:46Patrick Bet-David?

  No way.

• 57:46Speaker 04

  Oh, no, you mean this is-

• 57:48Patrick Bet-David?

  He's overcame in his life, where does this rank? In his life, where does this rank?

• 57:53Tom Ellsworth?

  You said top 50, I said 49.

• 57:55Patrick Bet-David?

  That's the point. I don't think it's a, you know, I don't think it's coming back, mugshot, you know, Marla was worth 18 million, trying to deplete all his cash, E. Jean Carroll, you know, you got Karen McDougal, all this stuff, this ranks nowhere. He is looking forward to delivering the message, and I have a feeling in his own unique way, he's gonna give the middle- Adam, I'm coming to you, Adam, up there. What are you thinking? What predictions can you give about how he's gonna be doing tonight? Is there any surprises you think he's gonna give? Did anybody in there when you're talking to them whisper to you? He may announce this tonight. He may announce X to you tonight. Did anybody say anything to you?

• 58:37Speaker 04

  You know, it's funny that you asked that because everybody has opinions on Trump and they're gonna obviously side with him. And I said, what do you think is gonna happen tonight? Nobody knows. That's the beautiful thing about what's going on here tonight is Trump announces everything. You know, he's not the type of guy that you want to keep a secret from or with. But no, I asked her, what are your predictions for tonight? Nobody has an idea. Do you think that Trump has something up his sleeve, an ace card? Of course. Is he gonna bring out women? Is he gonna give out money? Who knows what's gonna happen here? It remains to be seen, but I just want to circle back on one thing. You guys were talking about Epstein. You know, you know who Jamie Raskin is? Do you remember that guy?

• 59:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Of course, yes.

• 59:17Speaker 04

  Okay. The amount of political theater that I'm seeing here, you know, in the rotunda, where everyone's hanging out, all the legacy media is there. Jamie Raskin is there with his stand with the victims, release the files, like slogan on his shirt. And one of the news reporters goes, Congressman Raskin, you've had five years to address this. Why now? He's like, oh, you know, check my record. But it's complete political theater and I've seen it for myself. The fakeness, the inauthenticity that's going on here. You know, maybe Vinnie and I will come here and do a skit next time, but it's absolutely ridiculous. They've got nothing to run on. So it's kind of like Trump bad, Epstein worse, we love illegals.

• 1:00:00Speaker 04

  That seems to be the similar theme here, what's going on in the Democratic Party, unfortunately.

• 1:00:05Patrick Bet-David?

  And it's funny when you're saying this, everything about illegals. Rob, can you play that clip today from AOC? And, oh, she's already up there? Or he's about to wake his way up? Yeah, go to the AOC clip, Rob. I think we have about two minutes left when you're doing that. Here's AOC and Mamdani. Rob, before, because they're gonna speak in Spanish, let me read the tweet first right above it, and then we'll go right to it. Zoom in a little bit. This is from Mario in the Fall. "Mamdani and NOOC released a Spanish-language ad telling illegal immigrants to sign up for free childcare in New York City. Working American parents can't afford childcare for their own kids, but sure, let's subsidize it for non-citizens first." Go ahead, Rob.

• 1:00:46Speaker 07

  Hola.

• 1:00:48Speaker 06

  Mi español no es el mejor.

• 1:00:51Speaker 07

  No, no te preocupes, alcalde. Si su hijo o hija está cumpliendo tres o cuatro años en el 2026, usted puede registrarlos gratis en el programa Kinder 3 o prekinder de la ciudad de Nueva York.

• 1:01:04Patrick Bet-David?

  You don't feel the genuineness?

• 1:01:05Speaker 04

  Fake smile, look at it.

• 1:01:06Speaker 07

  Pero debe registrarse el 27 de febrero.

• 1:01:08Speaker 04

  Look at it, and when he stops his smile, look, look at his face when he stops it. Look, boom, serious.

• 1:01:12Speaker 07

  Cualquier padre de la familia de la ciudad de Nueva York, sin importar su ocupación, ingreso, o estatus y directorio, es elegido para registrar a sus hijos. Hola.

• 1:01:25Speaker 04

  And just really, really fast, I know he's about to go, "Do you understand what that's saying? Hey, if you don't belong in the country, come to New York, and your kids will have free childcare from the government taxpayer." Are you ki-- like, and Americans are cool. Well, not us, the New Yorkers.

• 1:01:40Patrick Bet-David?

  All right, let's hear it, Rob. It looks like the president's made it to the...

• 1:01:44Speaker 04

  Let's go.

• 1:01:45Patrick Bet-David?

  That was not a 30-minute walk. That was more like seven minutes.

• 1:01:48Speaker 04

  That was quick.

• 1:01:49Patrick Bet-David?

  On average, it's 30 minutes, but he did it seven minutes.

• 1:01:51Speaker 04

  He wants to grab the money.

• 1:01:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Wants to get right into it. Dinner plans afterwards.

• 1:01:55Speaker 04

  Yup.

• 1:01:56Speaker 05

  Well, thank you very much.

• 1:01:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Here we go, folks, let's grab seats.

• 1:01:59Speaker 05

  An honor. Speaker Johnson, Vice President Vance, First Lady of the United States.

• 1:02:49Speaker 05

  Members of Congress and my fellow Americans, our nation is back, bigger, better, richer, and stronger than ever before.

• 1:03:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Is the Supreme Court there or no? I don't see them. Oh, they are, yes, yes. Not all of them. Look at the role right there to his front right.

• 1:03:14Speaker 05

  Less than five months from now, our country will celebrate an epic milestone in American history, the 250th anniversary of our glorious American independence. This July 4th, we will mark two and a half centuries of liberty and triumph, progress and freedom in the most incredible and exceptional nation ever to exist on the face of the earth. You've seen nothing yet. We're going to do better and better and better. This is the golden age of America.

• 1:03:59Speaker 05

  When I last spoke in this chamber 12 months ago, I had just inherited a nation in crisis with a stagnant economy, inflation at record levels, a wide-open border, horrendous recruitment for military and police, rampant crime at home, and wars and chaos all over the world. But tonight, after just one year, I can say with dignity and pride that we have achieved a transformation like no one has ever seen before, and a turnaround for the ages. It is indeed a turnaround for the ages.

  And we will never go back to where we were just a very short time ago. We're not going back. Today, our border is secure.

• 1:07:48Speaker 05

  Thank you. Today, our border is secure. Our spirit is restored. Inflation is plummeting. Incomes are rising fast. The roaring economy is roaring like never before. And our enemies are scared. Our military and police are stacked. And America is respected again, perhaps like never before.

• 1:08:27Speaker 05

  After four years in which millions and millions of illegal aliens poured across our borders totally unvetted and unchecked, we now have the strongest and most secure border in American history by far.

• 1:08:53Speaker 05

  In the past nine months, zero illegal aliens have been admitted to the United States.

• 1:09:02Speaker 04

  Zero. Bingo. Zero.

• 1:09:12Speaker 05

  But we will always allow people to come in legally. People that will love our country and will work hard to maintain our country.

• 1:09:32Speaker 05

  The flow of deadly fentanyl across our border is down by a record 56% in one year.

• 1:09:51Speaker 05

  And last year, the murder rate saw its single largest decline in recorded history. This is the biggest decline, think of it, in recorded history, the lowest number in over 125 years, year 1900. In fact, substantially before my wonderful father, I had a wonderful father, Fred, before he was born, substantially before he was born. That's a long time ago. He wouldn't like me to say that, but that's a long time ago. The Biden administration and its allies in Congress gave us the worst inflation in the history of our country. But in 12 months, my administration has driven core inflation

• 1:10:34Speaker 05

  down to the lowest level in more than five years. And in the last three months of 2025, it was down to 1.7%.

• 1:10:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, which account are you on that's showing this? Is this the White House or C-SPAN? The White House. Okay, then that's why they're adding the stats to the right.

• 1:11:01Speaker 05

  Gasoline, which reached a peak of over $6 a gallon in some states.

• 1:11:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Interesting.

• 1:11:03Speaker 05

  Under my predecessor, it was, quite honestly, a disaster. It is now below $2.30 a gallon in most states, and in some places, $1.99 a gallon. And when I visited the great state of Iowa just a few weeks ago, I even saw $1.85 a gallon for gasoline.

• 1:11:35Speaker 05

  Mortgage rates are the lowest in four years and falling fast. And the annual cost of a typical new mortgage is down almost $5,000 just since I took office. One year.

• 1:11:52Speaker 05

  And low interest rates will solve the Biden-created housing problem well, at the same time protecting the values of those people who already own a house that really feel rich for the first time in their lives. We want to protect those values. We want to keep those values up. We're going to do both.

• 1:12:13Speaker 05

  And we are going to keep it that way. The stock market has set 53 all-time record highs since the election. Think of that. One year. Boosting pensions, 401Ks and retirement accounts for the millions and millions of Americans. They're all gaining. Everybody's up, way up. In four long years, the last administration got less than $1 trillion in new investment in the United States. And when I say less, substantially less. In 12 months, I secured commitments for more than $18 trillion pouring in from all over the globe.

• 1:13:01Speaker 05

  Think of it. Much less than $1 trillion for four years versus much more than $18 trillion for one year. What a difference a president makes.

• 1:13:15Speaker 05

  A short time ago, we were a dead country. Now, we are the hottest country anywhere in the world. The hottest.

• 1:13:26Speaker 04

  We are. I mean, he's not lying. The hottest.

• 1:13:36Speaker 05

  As thousands of new businesses are forming and factories, plants, and laboratories are being built, we have added 70,000 new construction jobs in just a very short period of time. It's getting bigger and bigger and stronger. Nobody can believe what they're watching. American oil production is up by more than 600,000 barrels a day, and we just received from our new friend and partner Venezuela, more than 80 million barrels of oil.

• 1:14:05Speaker 04

  Our new friends.

• 1:14:16Speaker 05

  American natural gas production is at an all-time high because I kept my promise to drill, baby, drill.

• 1:14:32Patrick Bet-David?

  He's going through greatest hits.

• 1:14:36Speaker 05

  More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country. Think about that. Any time in the history of our country, more working today, and 100% of all jobs created under my administration have been in the private sector.

• 1:15:03Speaker 04

  I love when he steps back.

• 1:15:05Speaker 05

  We ended D E I in America.

• 1:15:20Speaker 05

  We cut a record number of job-killing regulations, and in one year, we have lifted 2.4 million Americans, a record, off of food stamps.

• 1:15:33Speaker 04

  I'm staring down the Democrats.

• 1:15:35Patrick Bet-David?

  How many are for food stamps? 1 million?

• 1:15:39Speaker 04

  How much?

• 1:15:40Speaker 05

  And for all of these reasons, I say tonight, members of Congress, the state of our union is strong.

• 1:15:53Speaker 04

  Yeah, Andy Coleman Barrett's there.

• 1:15:56Patrick Bet-David?

  No, I see the judges.

• 1:15:57Speaker 04

  Yeah, they're there.

• 1:16:00Speaker 04

  I hope he says something about the terrorists.

• 1:16:07Speaker 05

  Our country is winning again. In fact, we're winning so much that we really don't know what to do about it. People are asking me, "Please, please, please, Mr. President, we're winning too much. We can't take it anymore. We're not used to winning in our country." "Until you came along, we're just always losing, but now we're winning too much." And I say, "No, no, no. You're going to win again. You're going to win big. You're gonna win bigger than ever." And to prove that point, to prove that point, here with us tonight is a group of winners who just made the entire nation proud. The men's gold medal Olympic hockey team. Come on, go, baby!

• 1:16:57Patrick Bet-David?

  They're walking out.

• 1:16:58Speaker 04

  Awesome! Let's go!

• 1:17:00Tom Ellsworth?

  Okay.

• 1:17:03Patrick Bet-David?

  They're walking out.

• 1:17:04Speaker 04

  He loves sports, guy. He loves sports.

• 1:17:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:17:07Speaker 04

  Look at that, bro.

• 1:17:12Speaker 04

  That's what I'm talking about.

• 1:17:15Speaker 04

  Let's go, bro. He loves sports.

• 1:17:18Tom Ellsworth?

  By the way, that's the mainstream media with their laptops not clapping.

• 1:17:21Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:17:23Tom Ellsworth?

  That's media.

• 1:17:33Speaker 04

  Dude, that's so awesome.

• 1:17:47Tom Ellsworth?

  If you were up there and they're not clapping, would you be tempted to, like, the hip check one of the reporters?

• 1:17:55Speaker 04

  Tom, we were down there. I think I stole gum out of Hakeem Jeffries' desk.

• 1:17:58Tom Ellsworth?

  It was under it.

• 1:17:59Speaker 05

  Go ahead.

• 1:18:00Speaker 04

  Thank you. Thank you.

• 1:18:30Speaker 05

  That's the first time I've ever seen them get up.

• 1:18:35Speaker 05

  And actually, not all of them did get up. They beat a fantastic Canadian team in overtime, as everybody saw, as did the American women, who will soon be coming to the White House.

• 1:18:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Good.

• 1:18:49Speaker 04

  They're in the club.

• 1:18:49Speaker 05

  Good.

• 1:18:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Good.

• 1:18:54Speaker 04

  They were busy.

• 1:19:04Patrick Bet-David?

  At this pace, he's gonna beat Bill Clinton's record.

• 1:19:07Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:19:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Seven minutes, he's just celebrating hockey. You know this is gonna break the record.

• 1:19:18Speaker 04

  Where the curling? Did we win curling?

• 1:19:20Speaker 05

  They were in the overloads before. And I just wanna say-

• 1:19:24Speaker 04

  The Canadians, they gave it the finger.

• 1:19:25Speaker 05

  -a very big congratulations to Team USA. I have to say that, and I told them this, we took a vote of the team. I said, "Anybody votes no, I'm not doing it." So they stood there, and they weren't about to say no, because I've never seen a goaltender play as well as goalie Connor Halliburton.

• 1:19:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Give him a minute.

• 1:19:55Patrick Bet-David?

  He is so funny.

• 1:19:57Speaker 04

  That's a tender right there at the beard.

• 1:20:04Speaker 04

  Ah! Can you see that?

• 1:20:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:20:06Speaker 04

  Just the nose.

• 1:20:15Speaker 05

  Think of it, forty-six shots on goal. And I asked him, the one shot, the one where you put your stick in the back and it hit the neck of your stick and bounced off. Do you practice that? Or was that a little lucky? He refused to answer that question. But I just want to tell you that the members of this great hockey squad will be very happy to hear, based on their vote and my vote, and in this case, my vote was more important, that I will soon be presenting Connor with our highest civilian honor, which we will be given and which has been given to many athletes over the years. But when I say many, not too many, like twelve.

• 1:20:58Speaker 05

  It's called the highest civilian honor in our country, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Wrong.

• 1:21:07Patrick Bet-David?

  I got an MVP award. I got a President. It's the Medal of Freedom. There's only twelve guys got it.

• 1:21:20Speaker 04

  Pat, you know what's crazy? You know what Chris said? What's even greater? The NHL season starts tomorrow.

• 1:21:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow.

• 1:21:25Speaker 04

  Yeah, they're doing this, getting drunk, doing this.

• 1:21:27Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, it's about eleven, twelve minutes just on hockey.

• 1:21:30Speaker 04

  He loves it.

• 1:21:31Patrick Bet-David?

  He could go two hours tonight.

• 1:21:32Speaker 05

  Great athletes have gotten that, very great, the best. And I thought he deserved it. And I did take a vote, every single one of them. I said, "I'm not giving it if anybody goes no." And every single one of them rapidly put up their hand. So I want to thank you. What a special job you did, what special champions you are. Thank you very much.

• 1:21:50Speaker 04

  Fifteen minutes on the hockey team.

• 1:22:00Tom Ellsworth?

  Look at those mainstream reporters. It's like they're all constipated.

• 1:22:04Speaker 04

  Look, even the generals, the generals.

• 1:22:07Speaker 05

  I'm also pleased to say that the next time the Olympic torch is lit, it will be here in America for the 2028 Olympics. And it's the summer version, right in Los Angeles. We're going to do a good job in Los Angeles.

• 1:22:40Speaker 05

  And Los Angeles is going to be safe, just like Washington DC is now one of the safest cities in the country.

• 1:22:53Tom Ellsworth?

  I like that transition.

• 1:22:55Speaker 05

  And this year, and I must say, I got them both. I got them in my first term, and I was disappointed because I didn't think I'd be the president when this happened. But strange things took place, and now I've got them because I got the Olympics, I got the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and I wanted to claim the 250th, but I didn't get away with that one. I couldn't claim that one for myself. But we're getting the World Cup, so we have the World Cup and the Olympics coming, and that is exciting news.

• 1:23:37Speaker 05

  So this will be a year to celebrate our country and the heroes who have kept it free. Men like Buddy Taggart. At age 17, Buddy volunteered to defend America in World War II, serving in the Pacific under the great General Douglas MacArthur. He fought bravely in the famous Battle of Manila, worked so hard. He was badly wounded and almost killed by enemy machine guns in Luzon. And 81 years ago this month, he liberated the largest internment camp in the Philippines, one of the largest anywhere in the world.

• 1:24:18Speaker 05

  Buddy earned many honors, including a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, came home, started a family, and tonight, he is in the gallery looking forward to July 4th, 2026, his 100th birthday.

• 1:24:35Tom Ellsworth?

  A World War II veteran is going to be 100 on July 4th. Wow.

  So buddy, you're a brave man and we salute you. Even in times of challenge, setback and immense heartache. The spirit of 1776 has always shone through very brightly. It was July 4th of last year when floodwaters tore through a girl's summer camp in central Texas. One of the worst things I've ever seen. I was there. Rising 26 feet in the matter of minutes tragically claiming many, many lives. You all remember that one. As the waters threatened to sweep her away, 11-year-old Millie Kate McLehman closed her eyes and prayed to God. She thought she was going to die.

• 1:28:15Speaker 05

  Those prayers were answered when Coast Guard rescue swimmer Scott Ruskin descended from a helicopter above. Nobody knew where he came from. It was Scott's first ever rescue mission. A young guy, but very brave, very, very top, always top in his class. And he lifted not just Millie Kate, but 164 others to safety.

• 1:28:50Patrick Bet-David?

  So far, he looks the most comfortable, loose, as if nothing is bothering him.

• 1:29:03Speaker 05

  People watched Scott from a distance and they couldn't believe what they were seeing. The winds were blowing, the rain was pouring, everything was going, and that rapid water, nobody's ever seen anything like it. They said, "Wow, that's something." Tonight Scott and Millie Kate are here together, reunited for the very first time. Thank you, Scott, Millie Kate.

• 1:29:56Tom Ellsworth?

  Badass.

• 1:29:58Speaker 05

  And Petty Officer Roskin, I'm pleased to inform you that I am now awarding you the Legion of Merit for Extraordinary Heroism, which is what it was, extraordinary heroism. Thank you.

• 1:30:25Speaker 05

  And I'd like to have the military aide to please come down and take care of the service. Military aide, thank you very much. Take care of that very important service. Thank you very much.

• 1:30:41Speaker 05

  From 1776 to today, every generation of Americans has stepped forward to defend life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And they're really doing it for the next generation. But now it's our turn. Together, we're building a nation where every child has the chance to reach higher and go further. Where government answers to the people, not the powerful, and where the interests of hard-working American citizens are always our first and ultimate concern. That is the debt we owe to the heroes who came before us, and that is the promise we must keep to America for our 250th year.

• 1:31:25Speaker 05

  Last year, I urged this Congress to begin the mission by passing the largest tax cuts in American history, and our Republican majorities delivered so beautifully. Thank you, Republicans.

• 1:31:53Speaker 05

  All Democrats, every single one of them, voted against these really important and very necessary massive tax cuts.

• 1:32:09Speaker 05

  They wanted large-scale tax increases to hurt the people instead. But we held strong, and with the great, big, beautiful bill, we gave you no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for our great senior.

• 1:32:44Speaker 05

  And we also made interest on auto loans tax-deductible the first time, but only if the car is made in America.

• 1:32:56Speaker 04

  Oh, I love that meme, bud.

• 1:33:04Speaker 05

  Recently in Pennsylvania, I met Meghan Hemhouser, a devoted mom who homeschools her children. Beautiful, two children. During the day while waiting tables at night as her husband works overtime, operating very heavy equipment. Meghan is here this evening and she's happy to tell you that she is so, so much richer. Because with no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and our expanded child tax credit, done again by Republicans, Meghan and her husband will take home more than $5,000 extra just for the year, cutting her tax bill in more than half.

• 1:33:55Speaker 05

  Meghan, please stand up. We're fighting for you, Meghan.

• 1:34:02Speaker 05

  Thank you, Meghan.

• 1:34:06Speaker 05

  Thank you, Meghan. We're fighting for you, Meghan. Under our bill, parents like Meghan can also activate their children's brand-new Trump accounts. And I didn't name it. I did not name that.

• 1:34:21Tom Ellsworth?

  I didn't name them.

• 1:34:26Speaker 05

  Nobody believes me, but I did not name it. It was named by a very tall man. He was right there in the third row. Nice man, a good man. Tax-free investment accounts for every American child. This is something that's so special and has taken off and gone through the roof. Millions will be prefunded courtesy of the US Treasury and private individuals like Michael and Susan Dell, who have donated $6,250 million to fund the Trump accounts for 25 million American children.

• 1:35:03Speaker 05

  They're great people. Great people.

• 1:35:17Speaker 05

  You know, I asked Michael Dell, "How do you make all that money?" He said, "Well, I just sat on my dorm in school, and I made computers, and I'd sell them to people. And I just kept selling, and selling, and selling." Pretty amazing story. That's called the American dream. He sold a lot of computers, a lot of those laptops. So I congratulate him on that, but I really thank him and Susan, as well as others like Brad Gerson, a very tremendous guy. He was behind it right from the beginning. Brad Gerson, thank you, Brad.

• 1:36:00Speaker 05

  So with modest additional contributions, these young people's accounts could grow to over $100,000 or more by the time they turn 18. Think of it, how much money is that for somebody that started with nothing? Over $100,000, could be much more than that. To make this investment in our children's future, go to trumpaccounts.gov. Trumpaccounts.gov. And a lot of people are doing it, that's setting every record in the book. It's popular. They knew what it was going to take. So proud of them. I'm so proud of the people that got it started. And now it's just taken off. One of the primary reasons for our country's stunning economic turnaround,

• 1:36:42Speaker 05

  the biggest in history, where the Dow Jones broke $50,000, four years ahead of schedule, and the S&P hit $7,000, where it wasn't supposed to do it for many years, were tariffs. I use these tariffs. Took in hundreds of billions of dollars to make great deals for our country, both economically and on a national security basis. Everything was working well. Countries that were ripping us off for decades are now paying us hundreds of billions of dollars. They were ripping us so badly, you all know that. Everybody knows it. Even the Democrats know it, they just don't want to say it. And yet these countries are now happy. And so are we.

• 1:37:26Speaker 05

  We made deals, the deals are all done. And they're happy. They're not making money like they used to, but we're making a lot of money. There was no inflation, tremendous growth. And the big story was how Donald Trump called the economy correctly. And 22 Nobel Prize winners in economics didn't. They got it totally wrong. They got it really wrong. And then just four days ago, an unfortunate ruling from the United States Supreme Court.

• 1:37:53Speaker 04

  Uh oh.

• 1:37:54Speaker 05

  It just came down, it came down. Very unfortunate ruling.

• 1:37:58Speaker 04

  Yeah, look, that's what they applaud for.

• 1:38:01Speaker 05

  But the good news is that almost all countries and corporations want to keep the deal that they already made. Right, Scott? Knowing that the legal power that I as president have to make a new deal could be far worse for them. And therefore, they will continue to work along the same successful path that we had negotiated before the Supreme Court's unfortunate involvement. So despite the disappointing ruling, these powerful country saving, it's saving our country, the kind of money we're taking in. Peace protecting, many of the wars I settled was because of the threat of tariffs, I wouldn't have been able to settle them without.

• 1:38:46Speaker 05

  Will remain in place under fully approved and tested alternative legal statutes. And they have been tested for a long time. They're a little more complex, but they're actually probably better. Leading to a solution that will be even stronger than before. Congressional action will not be necessary, it's already time-tested and approved. And as time goes by, I believe the tariffs paid for by foreign countries will, like in the past, substantially replace the modern-day system of income tax, taking a great financial burden off the people that I love.

• 1:39:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Is that Supreme Court to the left of Marco Rubio?

• 1:39:34Speaker 04

  To the right, yes.

• 1:39:36Patrick Bet-David?

  To the left.

• 1:39:37Speaker 04

  To his left, yeah.

• 1:39:38Patrick Bet-David?

  To his left.

• 1:39:38Speaker 05

  Moving forward, factories, jobs, investment, and trillions and trillions of dollars will continue pouring into the United States of America because we finally have a president who puts America first, put America first. I love America.

• 1:39:54Speaker 04

  I love, he's looking at the Dems.

• 1:40:04Speaker 05

  For decades before I came along,

• 1:40:08Speaker 05

  we had the exact opposite. From trade to healthcare, from energy to immigration, everything was stolen and rigged in order to drain the wealth out of the productive, hard-working people who make our country great, who make our country run. Under Biden and his corrupt partners in Congress and beyond, it reached a breaking point with the Green New Scam, open borders for everyone. They poured in by the millions and millions from prisons, from mental institutions. There were murderers, 11,888 murders. They came into our country. You allowed that to happen. And record-setting inflation that cost the typical family $34,000 in just a speck of time.

• 1:40:54Speaker 05

  Now, the same people in this chamber who voted for those disasters

• 1:41:00Speaker 05

  suddenly use the word affordability, a word. They just used it, somebody gave it to them, knowing full well that they caused and created the increased prices that all of our citizens had to endure. You caused that problem. You caused that problem.

• 1:41:21Patrick Bet-David?

  I love it.

• 1:41:34Speaker 05

  They knew their statements were a lie. They knew it. They knew their statements were a dirty rotten lie. Their policies created the high prices. Our policies are rapidly ending them. We are doing really well. Those prices are plummeting downward.

• 1:42:00Speaker 05

  The price of eggs is down 60%. Madam Secretary, thank you. The cost of chicken, butter, fruit, hotels, automobiles, rent is lower today than when I took office by a lot. And even beef, which was very high, is starting to come down significantly. Just hold on a little while, we're getting it down. And soon you will see numbers that few people would think were possible to achieve just a short time ago. Nobody can believe when they see the kind of numbers, especially energy, when they see energy going down to numbers like that, they cannot believe it. It's like another big tax cut.

• 1:42:43Speaker 05

  I'm also confronting one of the biggest rip-offs of our times, the crushing cost of healthcare caused by you. Since the passage of the Unaffordable Care Act, sometimes referred to as Obamacare, big insurance companies have gotten rich. It was meant for the insurance companies, not for the people. With our government giving them hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars a year as their stock prices soared 1,000, 1,200, 1,400, and even 1,700%, like nothing else. That's why I introduced the Great Healthcare Plan. I want to stop all payments to big insurance companies and instead give that money directly

• 1:43:28Speaker 05

  to the people so they can buy their own healthcare, which will be better healthcare at a much lower cost.

• 1:43:39Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, online is saying the mic, you see how it pops the audio? That's the mic issue. They're saying there's something going on with the mic.

• 1:43:47Speaker 04

  Somebody's messing with it?

• 1:43:48Patrick Bet-David?

  They're saying that.

• 1:43:49Speaker 05

  In addition, my plan requires maximum

• 1:43:52Patrick Bet-David?

  He's still staying poised.

• 1:43:53Speaker 05

  transparency. That's a big deal. Sounds so simple, so big. And I did that in my first term, and the Democrats immediately terminated it with full knowledge that they were doing a very bad thing for the people. Costs were gonna go way up, and that's what happened. And now I'm bringing them way down on healthcare and everything else. I'm also ending the wildly inflated cost of prescription drugs like has never happened before.

• 1:44:32Speaker 05

  Other presidents tried to do it, but they never could. They tried. Most didn't try, actually. But they tried. They said they tried. They couldn't do it. They didn't even come close. They were all talk and no action, but I got it done. Under my just enacted, most favored nation agreements, Americans, who have for decades paid by far the highest prices of any nation anywhere in the world for prescription drugs, will now pay the lowest price anywhere in the world for drugs. Anywhere. The lowest price.

• 1:45:16Speaker 05

  So in my first year of the second term, should be my third term. But strange things happen. I took prescription drugs, a very big part of healthcare, from the highest price in the entire world to the lowest. That's a big achievement. The result is price differences of 300, 400, 500, 600% and more. All available right now at a new website called TrumpRx.gov. And I didn't name that one either, by the way.

• 1:46:00Speaker 05

  And here tonight is the very first customer ever to get that big discount, and it is big, Catherine Rayner. For five years, she and her husband have struggled with infertility, and they turned to IVF. One drug has been costing Catherine $4,000 to purchase, but a few weeks ago, she logged on to the TrumpRx website and got that same drug that cost $4,000, got it for under $500. A reduction of much more, actually, than $3,500. Catherine, we are all praying for you, and you're going to be a great mom.

• 1:46:53Patrick Bet-David?

  She can't even keep a straight face. She wants to... This man's a comedian.

• 1:46:59Speaker 05

  So now I'm calling on Congress to codify my most-favorite-nation program into law. Now, the one thing, I'm not sure it matters because it's going to be very hard for somebody that comes along after me to say, "Let's raise drug prices by 700 or 800 percent." But John and Mike, if you don't mind, codify it anyway. They may do it. Codify it anyway. Thank you. Many Americans are also concerned that energy demand from AI data centers could unfairly drive up their electric utility bills. Tonight, I'm pleased to announce that I have negotiated the new Rate Payer Protection Pledge. You know what that is? We're telling the major tech companies that they have the obligation

• 1:47:45Speaker 05

  to provide for their own power needs. They can build their own power plants as part of their factory, so that no one's prices will go up, and in many cases, prices of electricity will go down for the community, and very substantially down. This is a unique strategy never used in this country before. We have an old grid, it could never handle the kind of numbers, the amount of electricity that's needed. So I'm telling them, they can build their own plant, they're gonna produce their own electricity. It will ensure the company's ability to get electricity while at the same time lowering prices of electricity for you, and could be very substantial for all of your cities and towns. You're gonna see some good things happen over the next number of years.

• 1:48:28Speaker 05

  Another pillar of the American dream that has been under attack is homeownership. With us tonight is Raisel Wiggins, a mom of two from Houston. She placed bids on 20 homes and lost all of those bids to gigantic investment firms that bypassed inspection, paid all cash, and turned those houses into rentals, stealing away her American dream. She was devastated. Stories like this are why last month I signed executive order to ban large Wall Street investment firms from buying up into thousands, single-family homes.

• 1:49:16Speaker 05

  And now I'm asking Congress to make that ban permanent because homes for people, really, that's what we want. We want homes for people, not for corporations. Corporations are doing just fine. Raisel, thank you very much. Good luck with your home, you'll get one soon.

• 1:49:41Speaker 05

  We're also working to make it easier for Americans to save for retirement, and under this administration, we will always protect Social Security and Medicare. They are not protecting it for our seniors. We will always protect Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid.

• 1:50:04Speaker 05

  Since I took office, the typical 401k balance is up by at least $30,000. It's a lot of money. We have millions and millions of people, because the stock market has done so well, setting all those records, your 401ks are way up. Yet, half of all of working Americans still do not have access to a retirement plan with matching contributions from an employer. To remedy this gross disparity, I'm announcing that next year, my administration will give these often-forgotten American workers great people, the people that built our country, access to the same type of retirement plan offered to every federal worker. We will match your contribution

• 1:50:48Speaker 05

  with up to $1,000 each year. As we ensure that all Americans can profit from a rising stock market, let's also ensure that members of Congress cannot corruptly profit from using insider information.

• 1:51:14Patrick Bet-David?

  You heard what he just said. You know who he's talking about. Members of Congress cannot use the information for insider trading. Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi.

• 1:51:22Tom Ellsworth?

  And Debbie Wasserman Schultz in the pink right there in that room.

• 1:51:24Speaker 05

  They stood up. Didn't stand up. I can't believe it.

• 1:51:26Speaker 04

  I can't believe it.

• 1:51:30Speaker 05

  I can't believe it. Did Nancy Pelosi stand up?

• 1:51:37Speaker 05

  Doubt it.

• 1:51:39Speaker 05

  Pass the Stop Insider Trading Act without delay.

• 1:51:48Tom Ellsworth?

  From the top rope.

• 1:51:52Patrick Bet-David?

  This man is a comedian.

• 1:51:56Speaker 05

  I wasn't sure if anybody even on this side was gonna applaud for that. I was, I'm very impressed, thank you, I'm very impressed. But when it comes to the corruption that is plundering, really, it's plundering America. There's been no more stunning example than Minnesota. Where members of the Somali community have pillaged an estimated nineteen billion dollars from the American taxpayer. Oh, we have all the information. And in actuality, the number is much higher than that. And California, Massachusetts, Maine, and many other states are even worse. This is the kind of corruption that shreds the fabric of a nation.

• 1:52:38Patrick Bet-David?

  You hear it?

• 1:52:39Speaker 05

  We are working on it like you wouldn't believe. So tonight, although, started four months ago, I am officially announcing the war on fraud to be led by our great Vice President JD Vance.

• 1:52:51Patrick Bet-David?

  He's about to get a shout-out right now. Can you imagine if he does that?

• 1:52:57Tom Ellsworth?

  You know, he just bypassed, huh? He just said Vance will lead the charge on this.

• 1:53:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Of what?

• 1:53:03Speaker 04

  Of the fraud in Minnesota.

• 1:53:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, he has to, because Vance needs a victory. Rubio's been winning non-stop. He's on the street.

• 1:53:12Speaker 05

  We'll get it done. Find enough of that fraud. We will actually have a balanced budget overnight. It'll go very quickly. That's the kind of money you're talking about. We'll balance our budget. The Somali pirates who ransacked Minnesota remind us that there are large parts of the world... Yeah, they're lowering the mic. Look! ... and lawlessness are the norm, not the exception.

• 1:53:38Patrick Bet-David?

  It's not us.

• 1:53:39Speaker 05

  Importing these cultures through unrestricted immigration and open borders brings those problems right here to the USA. And it is the American people who pay the price in higher medical bills, car insurance rates, rent, taxes, and perhaps most importantly, crime. We will take care of this problem. We're gonna take care of this problem. We are not playing games. Delilah.

• 1:54:02Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, there's no way that's, that's, that's not on purpose.

• 1:54:13Speaker 05

  Delilah Coleman was only five years old in June 2024 when a 18-wheel tractor trailer plowed into her stopped car traveling at 60 miles an hour or more. The driver was an illegal alien led in by Joe Biden and given a commercial driver's license by open borders politicians in California. Doctors said Delilah would never be able to walk or talk, have a good life. She wouldn't even be able to eat again, but against all odds, she is now in the first grade learning to walk.

• 1:54:55Speaker 05

  And she's here this evening with her dad, Marcus, a fantastic man. Delilah, please, you are a great inspiration. Please stand up.

• 1:58:00Speaker 05

  Thank you, Delilah. Many of the most illegal aliens do not speak English and cannot read even the most basic road signs as to direction, speed, danger, or location. That's why tonight I'm calling on Congress to pass what we will call the Delilah Law, barring any state from granting commercial driver's licenses to illegal aliens.

• 1:58:37Speaker 05

  And yesterday, as you probably saw at the White House, I hosted a ceremony with Americans who lost their treasured loved ones to the scourge of illegal immigration. People came into our country, how we allowed this to happen with our open borders. These are the angel moms and families that for decades our government betrayed and our media totally ignored, totally ignored. It was terrible, hard to believe, actually. In 2023, a 16-year-old high school cheerleader named Lizbeth Medina was supposed to perform in her town's Christmas parade, but she never arrived. Her mother, Jacqueline, went home to look for her,

• 1:59:20Speaker 05

  and she found her lying dead in a bathtub, bleeding profusely after being stabbed 25 times. Lizbeth's killer was a previously arrested illegal alien who had broken in and brutally, really, just brutally extinguished the brightest light in her family's life violently and viciously. Her heartbroken mother is in the gallery to remind everyone in this chamber exactly why we are deporting illegal alien criminals to our country at record numbers, and we're getting them the hell out of here fast. We don't want them.

• 2:00:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, what's timeline right now, 60 minutes? Is that the exact time of him starting?

• 2:00:14Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, because he started a few minutes after 9 o'clock.

• 2:00:21Speaker 05

  Thank you very much, Jacqueline. Thank you. We can never forget that many in this room... Not only allowed the border invasion to happen before I got involved, but indeed, they would do it all over again if they ever had the chance. If they ever got elected, they would open up those borders to some of the worst criminals anywhere in the world. The only thing standing between Americans and a wide-open border right now is President Donald J. Trump and our great Republican patriots in Congress. Thank you, thank you.

• 2:01:07Speaker 05

  As we speak, Democrats in this chamber have cut off all funding for the Department of Homeland Security. It's all cut off. It's all cut off. They have instituted another Democrat shutdown, the first one costing us two points on GDP. Two points we lost on GDP, which probably made them quite happy, actually. Now they have closed the agency responsible for protecting Americans from terrorists and murderers. Tonight, I'm demanding the full and immediate restoration of all funding for the border security, homeland security of the United States, and also for helping people clean up their snow.

• 2:01:52Speaker 05

  We have no money because of the Democrats, and it would be nice, we'd love to give you a hand to clean it up, but you gave no money. Nobody's getting paid, it's a shame. So you have to think about it. We have, in case you didn't know, a pretty large snowstorm out there. One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe. So tonight, I'm inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.

• 2:02:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Just watch, he's gonna watch everybody. Look at the right side. Look at the right side.

• 2:02:47Patrick Bet-David?

  They're looking around to see if their peers are standing up.

• 2:02:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Who's the pink shirt to the left? Is she a Republican or a Democrat?

• 2:03:05Patrick Bet-David?

  She's been standing up all night, yeah. It's good exercise.

• 2:03:15Speaker 04

  I was thinking, she's not taking the shot.

• 2:03:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Vic, am I saying something wrong? It's good exercise.

• 2:03:23Patrick Bet-David?

  You support exercise?

• 2:03:24Speaker 04

  Look at how many Democrats are sitting down that are for illegals. That's a message, right there.

• 2:03:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow, that clip? That clip says it all.

• 2:03:35Speaker 04

  Hundred percent, illegals first, man. Look at Marco, look at Marco, look at her. Yeah, look, keep looking. So he's gonna remember and take notes.

• 2:03:43Patrick Bet-David?

  They're intentionally...

• 2:03:44Speaker 04

  Staying long.

• 2:03:45Patrick Bet-David?

  This is for midterms. This is for the American people. This is to show America, hey, they collectively were on the same page on the same, stay for two minutes.

• 2:03:55Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 2:03:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Look how all of them are still up. He knows what he's doing here.

• 2:04:00Speaker 04

  Look at Hakeem Jeffries.

• 2:04:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh my God, this is a campaign, the video that you're gonna see everywhere. America, do you want this? This is what the... Look, get the cameras catching it. This is all footage. He knows what he's doing. Watch this in midterms. This clip here.

• 2:04:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Still doing different angles. They get different angles for this clip. Oh my God, one by one, they're gonna put names on top of their faces.

• 2:04:28Speaker 05

  Isn't that a shame? You should be ashamed of yourself not standing up. You should be ashamed of yourself. That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the criminals...

• 2:04:41Patrick Bet-David?

  There's screaming, is somebody screaming?

• 2:04:42Speaker 05

  And enact serious penalties for public officials who block the removal of criminal aliens...

• 2:04:48Patrick Bet-David?

  He's about to say something.

• 2:04:49Speaker 05

  In many cases, drug lords, murderers all over our country. They're blocking the removal of these people out of our country, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

• 2:05:01Speaker 04

  I love it, he talked right through it. Good, look at her, I had to comment.

• 2:05:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, by the way, first of all, at the beginning of it, they moved Al Green out because he said black people are not apes. He had a sign out.

• 2:05:11Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 2:05:12Patrick Bet-David?

  So back to back, he got escorted and stated at the union, last year and this year. With his cane, he had a cane with him, you know that nice cane?

• 2:05:18Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 2:05:19Patrick Bet-David?

  It's quality cane.

• 2:05:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Big Daddy Kane.

• 2:05:27Speaker 05

  And perhaps most importantly, I'm asking you to approve the Save America Act.

• 2:05:42Speaker 05

  To stop illegal aliens and others who are unpermitted persons from voting in our sacred American elections. The cheating is rampant in our elections. It's rampant. It's very simple. All voters must show voter ID.

• 2:06:03Speaker 04

  Yeah. You hear them booing?

• 2:06:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Are they?

• 2:06:06Speaker 04

  Yeah, they're booing. That's their vote. That's how they freaking get their votes. That says everything you need to know about these people. That's it, right there.

• 2:06:17Speaker 05

  All voters must show proof of citizenship in order to vote.

• 2:06:23Speaker 04

  Yup.

• 2:06:29Speaker 05

  But married women... And no more crooked mail-in ballots, except for illness, disability, military, or travel. None.

• 2:06:42Speaker 05

  And this should be an easy one, and by the way, it's polling at 89%, including Democrats. 89%.

• 2:06:58Speaker 05

  And even the new communist mayor of New York City, I think he's a nice guy, actually. Speak to him a lot. Bad policy, but nice guy. Just said they want people to shovel snow. They got hit hard.

• 2:07:12Speaker 04

  Here he goes.

• 2:07:12Speaker 05

  Wants them to shovel snow, but if you apply for that job, you need to show two original forms of ID and a social security card.

• 2:07:22Speaker 05

  Yet they don't want identification for the greatest privilege of them all, voting in America. No, it's no good. No good. Both Republicans and Democrats overwhelmingly agree on the policy that we just enunciated. And Congress should unite and enact this common sense, country-saving legislation right now, and it should be before anything else happens.

• 2:07:59Speaker 04

  Look at that. Who's the Indian guy? Who's the Indian guy at the bottom next to the girl with the white? That guy's hilarious.

• 2:08:07Speaker 04

  He wanted to impeach Trump.

• 2:08:10Speaker 05

  The reason they don't want to do it, why would anybody not want voter ID? One reason, because they want to cheat. There's only one reason.

• 2:08:19Speaker 05

  They make up all excuses. They say it's racist. They come up with things. You almost say, what imagination they have. They want to cheat. They have cheated. And their policy is so bad that the only way they can get elected is to cheat.

• 2:08:33Speaker 04

  Bingo.

• 2:08:33Speaker 05

  And we're going to stop it. We have to stop it, John.

• 2:08:40Speaker 04

  Listen to the mic, dude. How purposeful is that? Just eat. Olus is the worst audio guy in the history of Washington.

• 2:08:48Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, no.

• 2:08:49Speaker 05

  And here is one more opportunity to show common sense in government. In the gallery tonight are Sage Blair and her mother, Michelle. In 2021, Sage was 14 when school officials in Virginia sought to socially transition her to a new gender, treating her as a boy and hiding it from her parents. Hard to believe, isn't it? Before long, a confused Sage ran away from home. After she was found in a horrific situation in Maryland, a left-wing judge refused to return Sage to her parents because they did not immediately state that their daughter was their son.

• 2:09:34Speaker 04

  Oh my gosh.

• 2:09:35Speaker 05

  Sage was thrown into an all-boys state home and suffered terribly for a long time. But today, all of that is behind them because Sage is a proud and wonderful young woman with a full-ride scholarship to Liberty University. Sage and Michelle, please stand up.

• 2:09:54Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 2:09:58Speaker 04

  Good for her.

• 2:10:01Speaker 04

  Is that her clap?

• 2:10:16Speaker 05

  And thank you for your great bravery. And who can believe that we're even speaking about things like this? Fifteen years ago, if somebody was up here and said that, they'd say, "What's wrong with him?" But now we have to say it because it's going on all over numerous states without even telling the parents. But surely, we can all agree, no state can be allowed to rip children from their parents' arms and transition them to a new gender against the parents' will. Who would believe that we're even talking about this? We must ban it, and we must ban it immediately.

• 2:11:02Speaker 05

  Look, nobody stands up. These people are crazy, I'm telling you. They're crazy.

• 2:11:07Speaker 04

  They're crazy. They don't stand up, they're crazy.

• 2:11:13Speaker 04

  He's right, though, he's right.

• 2:11:17Speaker 04

  He's 100% right.

• 2:11:20Speaker 05

  Boy, oh boy. We're lucky we have a country with people like this. Democrats are destroying our country, but we've stopped it just in the nick of time, didn't we?

• 2:11:29Speaker 04

  Yes, yes. Good, good.

• 2:11:41Speaker 05

  No one cares more about protecting America's youth than our wonderful First Lady, now a movie star, she's a movie star, can you believe it? Who would have believed that? Over the past year, she has had an incredible impact, championing AI legislation, advancing a landmark executive order on foster care, and helping secure $30 million to launch the Melania Trump Foster Youth to Independence Initiative. It's a tremendous, really a tremendous thing that happened, and had a lot of bipartisan support. She gets much better bipartisan support than I do. I get none, she gets a lot.

• 2:12:23Speaker 05

  Someday, you're gonna have to tell me how you did that.

• 2:12:27Speaker 05

  And students and educators in every state have joined the First Lady's efforts in the Presidential AI Challenge, keeping America's next generation positioned to succeed, and strongly succeed, in the future. Tonight, we welcome two young people, whose lives reflect the First Lady's impact, Ciara Burns and Everest Nevermont. Thank you both, and Melania, thank you, I know how hard you worked on it, thank you very much.

• 2:13:20Speaker 05

  I'm very proud to say that during my time in office, both the first four years, and in particular, this last year, there has been a tremendous renewal in religion, faith, Christianity, and belief in God.

• 2:13:34Speaker 04

  Amen.

• 2:13:36Speaker 05

  Tremendous renewal.

• 2:13:49Speaker 05

  This is especially true among young people, and a big part of that had to do with my great friend Charlie Kirk, a great guy, great man.

• 2:14:09Speaker 05

  So last year Charlie was violently murdered by an assassin and martyred, really martyred for his beliefs. His wonderful wife Erica is with us tonight. Erica, please stand.

• 2:14:43Speaker 05

  Thank you, Erica. Been through a lot. In Charlie's memory, we must all come together to reaffirm that America is one nation under God, and we must totally reject political violence of any kind.

• 2:15:10Speaker 05

  We love religion, and we love bringing it back. And it's coming back at levels that nobody actually thought possible. It's really a beautiful thing to see. Above all, unleashing America's promise requires keeping our community safe. We have made incredible strides, yet dangerous repeat offenders continue to be released by pro-crime Democrat politicians again and again. We are honored to be joined tonight by a woman who's been through hell, Anya Zuretska. In 2022, she and her beautiful daughter, so beautiful, what a beautiful young woman. Irene fled, war turned.

• 2:15:53Speaker 05

  War-torn Ukraine to live with relatives near Charlotte, North Carolina. And by the way, what's going on with Charlotte? Last summer, 23-year-old Irina was riding home on the train when a deranged monster, who had been arrested over a dozen times and was released through no cash bail, stood up and viciously slashed a knife through her neck and body. No one will ever forget, there were people on that train. No one will ever forget the expression of terror on Irina's face as she looked up at her attacker in the last seconds of her life. She died instantly. She had escaped a brutal war, only to be slain by a hardened criminal,

• 2:16:38Speaker 05

  set free to kill, and America came in through open borders. Mrs. Zaretska, tonight, I promise you, we will ensure justice for your magnificent daughter, Irina.

• 2:16:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Is this a click? Is this what happened on the train?

• 2:17:07Speaker 05

  How do you not stand? I'm asking this Congress to pass tough legislation to ensure that violent and dangerous repeat offenders are put behind bars, and importantly, that they stay there. Starting last summer, I deployed our National Guard and federal law enforcement to restore

• 2:17:47Speaker 05

  law and order to our most dangerous cities, including Memphis, Tennessee, big success; New Orleans, Louisiana, big success; and our nation's capital itself, Washington, D.C., where we have almost no crime anymore in Washington, D.C. How did that happen? Hmm.

• 2:18:18Speaker 05

  In fact, crime in Washington is now at the lowest level ever recorded, and murders in DC this January were down close to 100% from a year ago.

• 2:18:43Speaker 05

  They don't like to hear that. One of the sick people, one of the brave service members who helped achieve this stunning turnaround was 20-year-old West Virginia Army National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom. After a four-month deployment, she voluntarily extended her service, and her rank was going to be lifted. She was doing so well, they were so proud of her. But the very next day, she was on patrol near the White House when she was ambushed and shot in the head by a terrorist monster from Afghanistan. Shouldn't have been in our country. And all because she wore the uniform of our nation, she was shot.

• 2:19:27Speaker 05

  He traveled here because he didn't like people wearing our uniform. He was sick and deranged, shouldn't have been in our country. Sarah Beckstrom died in order to defend our Capitol, and we are honored to be joined by her wonderful parents, Gary and Evelyn. Your daughter was a true American patriot, and she will be greatly missed. She was a great person. I saw reports on her. They've never seen anything like it.

• 2:20:18Speaker 05

  So sorry. Thank you very much. A great young lady. I saw reports that were like, perfect. She was perfect. Serving alongside Sarah that day was Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe. The terrorist shot Andrew in the head, and no one thought he could possibly make it. The two of them, Sarah and Andrew, both shot violently in the head. Neither was expected to make it. They weren't even given a chance, except his wonderful mother, named Melody, who I spoke to the same night.

• 2:20:56Speaker 05

  And she was so positive, the doctors thought that Andrew was gone. But his mother said, "No, no, Mr. President. Andrew will be fine. He's going to make it." I've never seen anything like it. I mean, he was given almost no chance.

• 2:21:11Speaker 05

  She said, "I have no doubt, sir. He's going to be okay." This was a conversation that I had with her that night, with her son laying helplessly in bed, blood all over. "Everybody is praying," she said, "Sir. He will be okay." The doctors didn't understand what she was saying. And after looking at the results of the damage done, neither did I. She was so strong and conclusive that even Andrew's great father felt she didn't really understand the gravity of the situation.

• 2:21:45Speaker 05

  But she turned out to be right. Right, Melody? She turned out to be right.

With God's help, Andrew has battled back from the edge of death, and we're talking about the edge of death, on his way to a miraculous recovery. He's got a little work to do, but he's doing great. Nice to see you. He's a good-looking guy. Nice to see you. Thanks, Andrew. Thank you very much.

• 2:25:43Speaker 05

  So Andrew, while you're up, now I'm going to ask a highly respected General James Seward to present Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe and the great family of Sarah Beckstrom with the award created by our late, great President, George Washington himself. It's called the Purple Heart.

• 2:26:03Speaker 04

  Wow. Wow.

• 2:26:08Speaker 04

  Getting shot in the head by an Afghanistan illegal enemy survivor. Wow.

• 2:26:18Speaker 04

  Wow.

• 2:26:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Shalat.

• 2:26:26Speaker 04

  Good for him.

• 2:26:53Speaker 05

  We love you all. Love you. We're proudly restoring safety for Americans at home and we are also restoring security for Americans abroad. Our country has never been stronger. My first 10 months, I ended eight wars, including Cambodia. Isn't it funny? Sick people. Cambodia and Thailand. Pakistan and India. Would have been a nuclear war. Thirty-five million people, said the Prime Minister of Pakistan, would have died if it were not for my involvement. Kosovo and Serbia. Israel and Iran. Egypt and Ethiopia. Armenia and Azerbaijan.

• 2:27:38Speaker 05

  The Congo and Rwanda. And of course, the war in Gaza, which proceeds at a very low level. It's just about there. And I want to thank Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner for your help. Thank you, Steve. Thank you, Jared.

• 2:28:10Speaker 05

  And I also want to thank the mandate report to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Thank you, Marco.

• 2:28:37Speaker 05

  People like you. You know, Marco got 100% of the votes when he was in Congress. I think our next one was about 54%. And some of the Democrats are now saying, "I can't believe we approved that guy." And he said it's an honor that they feel that way, right, Marco? You have done a great job. Great Secretary of State. I think he'll go down as the best ever.

• 2:29:09Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, Tegya, Tamele.

• 2:29:13Speaker 05

  Under the ceasefire I negotiated, every single hostage, both living and dead, has been returned home. Can you believe that?

• 2:29:34Speaker 05

  Nobody thought it was possible. Nobody thought that was possible. Both living and dead. And those parents, who had a dead son, their boy, they'd always tell me their boy, they wanted him as much as though he were living. That was an amazing period of time. And they came back, and we got all of the living hostages back, and many, many before then, but I always said those last 20 are going to be very tough, but we got many, many more, hundreds. But I said those last 20 are going to be tough. We got them back. But we only got back 14 or 15 of the dead of the 28. And believe it or not, Hamas worked along with Israel, and they dug, and they dug, and they dug.

• 2:30:20Speaker 05

  It's a tough, it's a tough thing to do. Going through bodies all over. Passing up 100 bodies sometimes for each one that they found. Tough job. And they finally got it back to 27. And then Steve and Jared, they got it back to 28. They found all 28. Nobody thought that was possible, but we did it. And I remember the family of the 28th. They were so grieved, but they were so happy, as happy as it's possible, possible to be. They had their boy back. The mother said, "Sir, we have our boy back." What a period of time that was, but we got them all back. So thank you both very much.

• 2:31:05Speaker 05

  Thank you.

• 2:31:19Speaker 05

  "And we're working very hard to end the Ninth War, the killing and slaughter between Russia and Ukraine, where 25,000 soldiers are dying each and every month. Think of that, 25,000 soldiers are dying a month. A war which would have never happened if I were president. Would have never happened. As president, I will make peace wherever I can, but I will never hesitate to confront threats to America wherever we must. That's why, in a breakthrough operation last June, the United States military obliterated Iran's nuclear weapons program with an attack on Iranian soil known as Operation Midnight Hammer."

• 2:32:16Speaker 05

  "For decades, it had been the policy of the United States never to allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. Many decades. Since they seized control of that proud nation 47 years ago, the regime and its murderous proxies have spread nothing but terrorism and death and hate. They've killed and maimed thousands of American service members and hundreds of thousands and even millions of people with what's called roadside bombs. They were the kings of the roadside bomb. And we took out Soleimani. I did that during my first term. Had a huge impact. He was the father of the roadside bomb."

• 2:33:09Speaker 05

  And just over the last couple of months with the protests, they've killed at least, it looks like, 32,000 protesters. 32,000 protesters in their own country. They shot them and hung them. We stopped them from hanging a lot of them with the threat of serious violence. But this is some terrible people. They've already developed missiles that can threaten Europe and our bases overseas. And they're working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America. After Midnight Hammer, they were warned to make no future attempts to rebuild their weapons program

• 2:33:53Speaker 05

  in particular, nuclear weapons. Yet they continue. They're starting it all over. We wiped it out and they want to start all over again. And are at this moment again pursuing their sinister ambitions. We are in negotiations with them. They want to make a deal, but we haven't heard those secret words. "We will never have a nuclear weapon." My preference...

• 2:34:34Speaker 05

  My preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy. But one thing is certain. I will never allow the world's number one sponsor of terror, which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon. Can't let that happen.

• 2:35:02Speaker 05

  And no nation should ever doubt America's resolve. We have the most powerful military on earth. I rebuilt the military in my first term. We're going to continue to do so. Also, we just approved a trillion-dollar budget. We have no choice, we have to be strong. Because hopefully, we will seldom have to use this great power that we built together. It's really called "peace through strength," and it's been very, very effective.

• 2:35:44Speaker 05

  So thanks to Republicans in Congress, we're investing that record number of dollars — have no choice — in the United States Armed Forces. Also creating a lot of jobs, but we're not even doing it for that reason. Because as I said, we have more jobs, more people working today than ever before in the history of our country. And NATO countries, our friends and allies, they are, they're our friends and they're our allies, have just agreed, at my very strong request, to pay 5% of GDP for military defense rather than the 2%, which they weren't paying. We were paying for almost all of NATO. Now they're paying 5% as opposed to not paying 2%.

• 2:36:36Speaker 05

  And getting that 5% was something which everyone said would never be done, could not happen. We got it really easily, with one meeting. And a big difference between 2% that's not paid, we were paying, the freight of many of them, very few were paid up. Now 5%, then they're paid. And everything we send over to Ukraine is sent through NATO, and they pay us in full. They pay us totally in full. Every branch of our armed forces is setting records for recruitment. This is so exciting. And every service member recently...

• 2:37:17Patrick Bet-David?

  He doesn't look like he's coming to an end.

• 2:37:19Speaker 04

  No.

• 2:37:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Three more minutes is the new record.

• 2:37:21Speaker 04

  Three minutes?

• 2:37:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Three minutes.

• 2:37:23Speaker 05

  And every service member recently received a warrior dividend of seventeen hundred and seventy-six dollars.

• 2:37:41Speaker 05

  You know, they put it on my desk. We got the money from tariffs and other things, a lot of money we have. We have much more money than people understand. Have to rebuild that program a little bit, but it won't take long. But we got the money and it was seventeen hundred and seventy-five dollars and they wanted my approval. And I said, "What's the number? Seventeen hundred and seventy-five dollars?" I said, "Wait a minute, for one more dollar, we can have seventeen seventy-six." It's going to... I said, "We're gonna figure that out." I never asked anybody if we could afford it. "One more dollar," I said, "seventeen seventy-six." And I said, "That's good." And I'll tell you what, our military, that was four months ago, our military. I never see a person in the military that doesn't thank me for it, so we're honored to do it. They deserve it.

• 2:38:24Speaker 05

  And we call it seventeen seventy-six. It was great. And we love our military, we love our law enforcement. We love our firemen, you know, the firemen don't get mentioned enough. We love our firemen. We're also...

• 2:38:52Speaker 05

  We're also restoring American security and dominance in the Western Hemisphere, acting to secure our national interests and defend our country from violence, drugs, terrorism, and foreign interference. For years, large swaths of territory in our region, including large parts of Mexico, really large parts of Mexico, have been controlled by murderous drug cartels. That's why I designated these cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and I declared illicit fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.

• 2:39:39Speaker 05

  And with our new military campaign, we have stopped record amounts of drugs coming into our country and virtually stopped it completely coming in by water or sea. You probably noticed that.

• 2:39:53Speaker 05

  We've very seriously damaged their fishing industry also. Nobody wants to go fishing anymore. We've also taken down one of the most sinister cartel kingpins of all. You saw that yesterday. In January.

• 2:40:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Did he say "we"?

• 2:40:13Patrick Bet-David?

  "We-we"?

• 2:40:14Speaker 04

  "We-we"?

• 2:40:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Different "we".

• 2:40:16Speaker 04

  "We-we".

• 2:40:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Alright. So...

• 2:40:20Speaker 05

  There you have it.

• 2:40:20Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't know if that was a...

• 2:40:22Speaker 05

  In January, elite American warriors carried out one of the most complex, spectacular feats of military competence and power in world history. No one's seen anything like it. Foreign leaders, I won't tell you who, called me and they said, "Very impressive, very good." They couldn't believe... They all watched. They saw what happened. This is a different

• 2:40:44Speaker 04

  It was Japan.

• 2:40:45Speaker 05

  fighting force that we had years ago when we fought to tie. You know, it's a great fighting force. I'm so proud of it. Look at Space Force. Space Force is my baby. Because we did that. My baby is becoming so important.

• 2:41:19Speaker 05

  And America's armed forces overwhelmed all defenses and utterly defeated an enemy. Good fighters. To end the reign of outlaw dictator Nicolas Maduro and bring him to face American justice.

• 2:41:43Speaker 05

  And this was an absolutely colossal victory for the security of the United States, and it also opens up a bright new beginning for the people of Venezuela. We're working closely with the new president of Venezuela, Delfi Rodriguez, to unleash extraordinary economic gains for both of our countries and to bring new hope to those who have suffered so terribly. They really did suffer. With us tonight is Alejandro Gonzalez. She grew up in a tight-knit Venezuelan family and was especially close to her beloved uncle Enrique. But after Enrique ran for office and opposed Maduro, he was kidnapped by Maduro's security forces

• 2:42:25Speaker 05

  and thrown into the regime's really infamous prison in Caracas. Alejandro feared she would never see her uncle again. She feared for her own life also. But since the raid, we have worked with the new leadership, and they have ordered the closure of that vile prison and released hundreds of political prisoners already. With more to come. Alejandro, I'm pleased to inform you that not only has your uncle been released, but he is here tonight. We brought him over to celebrate his freedom with you in person. Enrique, please come down.

• 2:43:45Speaker 05

  Thank you, Enrique. Have a good time. Nice to have you back, Enrique.

• 2:43:52Speaker 05

  There were many heroes on that January raid to capture Maduro. Really great heroes. It was very dangerous. They knew we were coming. They were all set. But the deeds of one warrior that night will live forever in the eternal chronicles of military valor. Chief Warrant Officer Five, Eric Slover, planned the mission and was the flight lead in the cockpit of the first helicopter. A big, beautiful, powerful helicopter. It was a massive Chinook, carrying, as you can imagine, many, many American warfighters.

• 2:44:35Speaker 05

  Wearing the dog tags, his wife Amy had blessed with holy water before he left. She knew it was going to be a rough one. Eric steered the Chinook under the cover of night and descended swiftly upon Maduro's heavily protected military fortress. This was a major military installation, protected by thousands of soldiers and guarded by Russian and Chinese military technology. How did that work out? Not too good.

• 2:45:06Speaker 05

  While preparing to land, enemy machine guns fired from every angle, and Eric was hit very badly in the leg and hip, one bullet after another. He absorbed four agonizing shots, shredding his leg into numerous pieces. And yet, despite the fact that the use of his legs was vital to successful helicopter flight. Legs are the most important part of flying a helicopter. To deliver the many commandos who would capture and detain Maduro was the only thing Eric was thinking about. Then, even as he was gushing blood, which was flowing back down the aisle, helicopter lands at a steep angle.

• 2:45:51Speaker 05

  The machine guns stood right in front of him. They were right in front of him, two machine gunners who escaped the wrath of the previous planes. Eric maneuvered his helicopter with all of those lives and souls to face the enemy and let his gunners eliminate the threat. Turned the helicopter around so the gunners could take care of business, saving the lives of his fellow warriors from what could have been a catastrophic crash, deep in enemy territory. Only after safely landing the helicopter with all the warriors aboard in the exact right spot, which was vital to the mission, we probably would have had to maybe cancel the mission if that didn't happen.

• 2:46:35Speaker 05

  Eric told his copilot, also wounded, but not as gravely, to "Take over. I'm about ready to pass out." The success of the entire mission and the lives of his fellow warriors hinge in Eric's ability to take the searing pain. It was unbelievable what's happened to his legs of the bullets and keep on flying and landing. People knew what was happening. Everybody in the back of the helicopter knew because they saw the blood pouring down the aisle. Chief Warrant Officer Slover is still recovering from his serious wounds, but I'm thrilled

• 2:47:18Speaker 05

  to say that he is here tonight with his wife Amy, Eric, and Amy, come on in.

• 2:47:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Purple Heart?

• 2:47:25Speaker 05

  I think.

• 2:47:26Patrick Bet-David?

  I mean, if he gave Purple Heart to...

• 2:47:28Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah.

• 2:47:29Patrick Bet-David?

  This could even be bigger because you keep the biggest for the end. So, I don't know what you can give. Medal of Freedom, Medal of Bronze, Bronze Star? Could be a Bronze Star. It has to. It went from Medal of Freedom, Purple Heart. This could be a Bronze Star or... Wow, he looks like a... Look at that guy.

• 2:48:15Speaker 05

  So we have a surprise.

• 2:48:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Here we go.

• 2:48:17Speaker 05

  For Eric and Amy.

• 2:48:19Patrick Bet-David?

  What will it be?

• 2:48:19Speaker 05

  In recognition of Eric's actions above and beyond the call of duty. Uh oh. I would now like to ask General Jonathan Braga to present Chief Warrant Officer Slaver.

• 2:48:33Speaker 04

  Oh wow, it's a Medal of Honor.

• 2:48:34Speaker 05

  With our nation's highest military award, the Congressional Medal of Honor.

• 2:48:39Patrick Bet-David?

  I told you, Medal of Honor. He's keeping it for the end.

• 2:48:42Speaker 04

  Wow.

• 2:48:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Good for you.

• 2:48:46Speaker 04

  Wow.

• 2:48:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow.

• 2:48:48Speaker 04

  Good for him.

• 2:48:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Medal of Freedom, Purple Heart, Medal of Honor. Look at him.

• 2:48:55Speaker 04

  I love it. Stud.

• 2:48:59Speaker 05

  He took four.

• 2:49:00Speaker 04

  Oh, he shot him in his leg. He's on a walker. Dude, that is so sick.

• 2:49:12Patrick Bet-David?

  He kinda reminds me of Dan.

• 2:49:14Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 2:49:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Except he's got a different tattoo part that he needs to get.

• 2:49:20Speaker 04

  For sure.

• 2:49:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Dan, reach out to him, Dan.

• 2:49:25Speaker 04

  I know you're listening, man.

• 2:49:52Speaker 05

  Well, thank you very much, Eric and Amy. Great to get to know you. I met with them and with a lot of their fellow warriors at Fort Bragg recently. You notice the name Fort Bragg. We have it back. We brought it back. We won the First World War with it, the Second World War with it, and then they decided to change the name. So we changed it back. Everybody wanted to change back too. And 10 of Eric's fellow warriors from that incredible night of victory will also be receiving medals at a private ceremony that will soon be held at the White House. And Eric will be there.

• 2:50:53Speaker 05

  Thank you, Eric. That's a big one. Tonight, we've celebrated many truly extraordinary American patriots, but there is one last living legend to honor before we go. He is one more heroic American aviator, Navy fighter pilot. Royce Williams served in World War II. Oh, yeah. Korea, Vietnam, flying more than 220 missions. In the skies over Korea in 1952, Royce was in the dogfight of a lifetime. Legendary dogfight. Flying through blizzard conditions, his squadron was ambushed by seven Soviet fighter planes. It was his first aerial combat of the war,

• 2:51:38Speaker 05

  and despite being massively outnumbered and outgunned, Royce led the takedown of four enemy jets and almost destroyed the others, vanquishing his adversaries while taking 263 bullets to his own plane and being seriously hurt. His story was secret for over 50 years. He didn't even want to tell his wife, but the legend grew and grew. But tonight, at 100 years old, this brave Navy captain is finally getting the recognition he deserves. He was a legend long before this evening. Royce, please stand up, and I will ask the First Lady of the United States to present Captain Royce Williams

• 2:52:23Speaker 05

  with his Congressional Medal of Honor. Wow.

• 2:52:55Tom Ellsworth?

  Look at him smile, look at him laugh.

• 2:52:58Speaker 04

  This is so awesome.

• 2:53:01Speaker 04

  That is so-

• 2:53:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Respect.

• 2:53:03Speaker 04

  Oh, big time.

• 2:53:03Tom Ellsworth?

  Look at his ribbon stack.

  We're gonna get me one.

• 2:57:25Speaker 05

  Very much, Eric. Thank you.

• 2:57:44Tom Ellsworth?

  Are they all standing up?

• 2:57:47Speaker 05

  250 years is a long time in the life of a nation. But in another sense, it's really a mere moment in the eye of history. Two of the gentlemen we met in the gallery this evening took their first breaths one century ago. 100 years before that, on July 4th, 1826, the author of the Declaration of Independence. Brilliant. Thomas Jefferson drew his last breath. Just a single, long human lifespan separates the giants who declared and won our independence from the heroes who stand among us tonight. Everything our nation has done, everything we have achieved,

• 2:58:30Speaker 05

  has been the work of those few great lifetimes. In those brief chapters, Americans built this nation from 13 humble colonies into the pinnacle of human civilization and human freedom. The strongest, wealthiest, most powerful, most successful nation in all of history. Americans ventured out across the daunting and dangerous continent. We carved paths through an unforgiving wilderness, settled a boundless frontier, and tamed the beautiful but very, very dangerous Wild West.

• 2:59:07Speaker 05

  From empty marshes and wide-open plains, we raised up the world's greatest cities. Together, we mastered the world's mightiest industries, shattered histories, monstrous tyrannies. And we liberated millions from the chains of fascism, communism, oppression, and terror. Americans lifted humanity into the skies on the wings of aluminum and steel. And then we launched mankind into the stars on rockets powered by sheer American will and unyielding American pride. We wired the globe with our ingenuity. We captivated the planet with American culture.

• 2:59:50Speaker 05

  And now, we are pioneering the next great American breakthroughs that will change the entire world. All of this, and so much more, is the enduring legacy, unmatched glory, of the hard-working patriots who built and defended this country and who still carry the hopes and freedoms on all of humanity's backs. For years, they were forgotten, betrayed, and cast aside. But that great betrayal is over, and they will never be forgotten again. Because when the world needs courage, daring vision, and inspiration, it is still turning to America. And when God needs a nation to work His miracles,

• 3:00:35Speaker 05

  He knows exactly who to ask. There is no challenge Americans cannot overcome, no frontier too vast for us to conquer, no dream too bold for us to chase, no horizon too distant for us to claim. For our destiny is written by the hand of providence, and these first 250 years were just the beginning. From the rugged border towns of Texas to the heartland villages of Michigan, from the sun-kissed shores of Florida to the endless fields of the Dakotas,

• 3:01:13Speaker 05

  and from the historic streets of Philadelphia to right here in our nation's capital, Washington DC, the golden age of America is upon us. The revolution that began in 1776 has not ended. It still continues because the flame of liberty and independence still burns in the heart of every American patriot. And our future will be bigger, better, brighter, bolder, and more glorious than ever before. Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.

• 3:01:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Put on mute, Rob. Wow. Okay, so hour and forty-five minutes. He broke the record for the longest State of the Union speech ever. And not only that, the previous longest speech ever given by a president that wasn't a State of the Union was by himself at hour and thirty-nine minutes. So he broke Clinton's record and his own record all in one night, almost two hours. Remember, seventy-nine years old, about to turn eighty years old in four months. Tom, your biggest takeaway from, and by the way, while this is going on, a couple of things we haven't even seen, I'll show you a couple of things here. That's Al Green, if you want to get to the first one, Rob. Just show the picture of when the president walked in, what he was showing, zoom in a little bit. You see what he has or no?

• 3:02:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. Okay, at first, I thought that was a meme. Yeah. I said, "It's gotta be AI." Okay, so now go to the video, Rob, if you could. While this is taking place, Al Green becomes the first person to be kicked out of the State of the Union, two years in a row, that's him. And a couple of people are saying things to him.

• 3:03:05Tom Ellsworth?

  The guy in the building, he just said, "Come on, Al." Right there, he just said, "Come on, Al."

• 3:03:11Patrick Bet-David?

  So, yeah, so that's taking place behind the scenes and then a couple of other people screaming, commentary being made on who was screaming, who was not. Of the Supreme Court Justice that was there, of the nine, only four showed up. Not the nine, so by the way, that's six Republicans. That means two Republicans didn't show up. If you want to play the clip of who was there, these were the folks that showed up.

• 3:03:32Tom Ellsworth?

  Roberts, Kagan, Kavanaugh.

• 3:03:35Speaker 05

  Let me just point out, this is the Chief Justice, Elena Kagan, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. Justices of the Supreme Court, four of the nine, Amy Coney Barrett, Kagan, and Roberts, all voted against President Trump in his tariff ruling. We don't know how this is...

• 3:03:52Patrick Bet-David?

  So that's interesting to see who showed up, who didn't show up. Okay, having said that, favorite part of the entire speech, Tom?

• 3:03:58Tom Ellsworth?

  Uh, I think...

• 3:04:01Tom Ellsworth?

  The first hour was...

• 3:04:02Patrick Bet-David?

  I thought you froze for a second, Tom.

• 3:04:03Speaker 04

  I thought, I thought, I thought...

• 3:04:04Patrick Bet-David?

  I was like...

• 3:04:05Speaker 04

  No, I think the...

• 3:04:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Like in The Matrix.

• 3:04:06Tom Ellsworth?

  No, I think the first, the first hour was why I voted for him. Um, he went down, the list of things is why we voted for him. Uh, what he did with, and the, the list was just huge. I could, I could go on and on and on, but it was a, a trip down the year, reminding us of all the things he said he was gonna do and all, all the things that he did. Fentanyl, murder the lowest rate, what he did in Washington DC. And then, starting at the beginning, what he did with, um, meds, the, uh, most favored nation, MVF, for, uh, to get, um, medications down, prescription meds down. Um, he said, "I'm gonna protect Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid," and the insider trading act.

• 3:04:50Tom Ellsworth?

  I thought he went through that, so I thought it was a wonderful trip. I was waiting for maybe one or two new things that might come out, but he reminded us what he did with the, um, the Trump accounts. Um, and he was, he was who we voted for tonight. Brash, poked, "You people are crazy." Um, at the same time, uh, makes us laugh. You know, I've always wanted a Medal of Honor for myself. Makes us laugh in that. It's what I expected. I was hoping to hear more on affordability, but I was glad that he reminded us just so much of what he's done on energy prices. He dwelled on that for a minute or two to remind us of what he had done.

• 3:05:32Tom Ellsworth?

  And then also reminded us of things that were important that he didn't get done yet, that no one's gotten done. The SAVE Act, no mail-in ballots. I just, I felt like this is the president I voted for. I wish more that, I was looking for more that he would give a red meat of things he was gonna push over the course of the summer that the, the voting bloc can rally around, right? Say, hey, with each election, you have to have a cause and you have to have something you're for. And right now, what we have for us midterms is, we gotta rally around. Don't let them. Don't let them. That's where we are right now for midterms. I don't feel like we're rallying around a lot of things that are, that are new.

• 3:06:16Tom Ellsworth?

  The SAVE Act is very important to get it passed, but you see where I'm going? I was looking for like one, one or two big new things, but it was a trip, it was a trip down, reminded me of why I voted for him and the stuff that he did get done is an amazing agenda.

• 3:06:33Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm gonna come to a couple of you guys here in a minute, so just be ready. If anybody has any thoughts that they wanna say, raise your hand, we'll signal and look for you and come to you. Finney, your thoughts?

• 3:06:40Speaker 04

  Um, I absolutely loved it. I think it was such, like, if you wanna talk about entertainment, just compare this State of the Union to Joe Biden's State of the Union. Short, drugged out of his mind, doesn't know what he's saying. Think about what we just got, Pat. Think about this. You got a message for America, you got a celebration of what we are and where, you know, where we came from, where we are and where we're going. He gave out medals, like you said, Medal of Freedom, Purple Heart, Medal of Honor. He brought, the happiest he was in this entire speech was when the hockey team came out. Did you notice how excited he was? Cause, and this goes back to his sports.

• 3:07:20Tom Ellsworth?

  And here are some winners.

• 3:07:21Speaker 04

  Yeah, remember, he was, back in the day, he was freaking, you know, at all the boxing matches and all the sporting events that's that's who he is I love that we got a little bit of entertainment as well Pat crapping on the Democrats in front of their faces Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib just angry bitter yelling disrespectful which I don't I'm not shocked and he got to reveal we got to see what these Democrats are really about they're not standing for certain things they're they're pro illegals alright they don't they're not standing up for people that were stabbed and murdered by illegals because of their freaking policies and guys we got a comedy show he's funny so all around Pat I think for for two hours for somebody that's almost 80 years old it was awesome it was this is what this is what I've done this is who we are

• 3:08:05Speaker 04

  and this is where we're going I absolutely loved it it was awesome

• 3:08:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam

• 3:08:09Speaker 06

  can you hear me okay PPD

• 3:08:11Patrick Bet-David?

  we can yes go forward

• 3:08:12Speaker 06

  I wasn't sure when when Tom glitched I was like do we have a problem but it was I think just Tom's getting tired it was a long speech but couple of quick takeaways number one shout out to the men's hockey team I mean he paraded them out there and when he said we're gonna win so big I'm like where's this guy going boom they enter the room like that

• 3:08:29Patrick Bet-David?

  don't let him do that to you Tom

• 3:08:30Speaker 06

  I know I'm sorry about that Tom but you glitched for a second

• 3:08:32Patrick Bet-David?

  do not let him bully you Tom I don't appreciate it

• 3:08:35Speaker 06

  I know you don't appreciate it Pat but we had to call you know the truth is the truth you know we believe in the truth here but can we say what what the really the bottom line is here I mean he's here two hours talking there was a three minute segment and he said alright guys here's your chance if you agree with this stand up if not stay seated and he said if you want to protect American citizens instead of illegal aliens please stand up and half the room stood up round of applause and then the Democrats unfortunately they showed exactly who they are guys this is not that hard this is not a partisan issue to say I stand for the American people he

• 3:09:16Speaker 06

  completely shamed them he said they should be ashamed for himself meanwhile the the people that believe in citizens of the United States are chanting USA it's the loudest applause of the night and here these guys are sitting just like blank faces shame on you Democrats I used to be someone that voted Democrat and never in my life after seeing that could I ever consider voting Democrat again it's crazy how are you gonna stand for illegals and not the American citizens your job is to stand for the American citizens Democrats please do better last but not least the one part that they did stand for Was the insider trading act shout out to Nancy Pelosi's that where are you Nancy? So the Democrats unfortunately revealed their hand. We know exactly who they are.

• 3:10:01Speaker 06

  And they're pro illegal immigration and open borders. Guys, this really isn't that hard of a thing, but you you hate Trump so much that you're going to sit down and rather than stand up for the American people, shame on you.

• 3:10:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, what are the comments section saying?

• 3:10:16Tom Ellsworth?

  Um, our comments?

• 3:10:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 3:10:18Tom Ellsworth?

  Um, well, they didn't appreciate his poke.

• 3:10:21Patrick Bet-David?

  I thought it was funny. I thought he I don't.

• 3:10:23Tom Ellsworth?

  But Tom.

• 3:10:23Patrick Bet-David?

  He's trying to upset you, Tom. He's he's rage baiting you.

• 3:10:26Tom Ellsworth?

  What they what they were actually, the comments were agreeing with Vinnie on the medals. When Vinnie was talking about the medals, the comments were running that he recognized it was coming down here. He recognizing so many Americans and so many accomplishments.

• 3:10:38Patrick Bet-David?

  When I asked, what are the comments section saying, Tom? I know it was a total joke. But let me go over here. I I I.

• 3:10:43Speaker 06

  Tom's checking the comments section.

• 3:10:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me ask a couple of people here. By the way, you make a very good point on the part about, uh, I think that clip of, you know, this is your chance, stand up. And it was three minutes of recording. They he stood up and he just looked at him. That's going to be used at every midterm. If I'm a marketing guy, I'm going to cut that and I'm going to go door knocking for whatever midterm Congress, House, anybody that's running for midterms. I'm going to go and say, are you more for Americans or are you for illegal immigrants? Hey, when the president said this, your candidate didn't stand up. Is that who you want to vote for? Is that who you want to vote for? That's what I'm doing. So when you go and knocking on doors, I'm just going to get an iPad out and I'm showing that clip.

• 3:11:26Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm going to get my phone out. That is the easiest thing to do. You don't need a script. You don't need to know the Constitution. You don't need to know nothing. Do you want somebody that defends illegal immigrants more than you? The Democratic Party of today, by the way, not of 20 years ago. If you watch what Schumer said about illegal immigrants 20 years ago. If you watch what Hillary said about illegal immigrants 20 years ago. If you watch what Obama said about illegal immigrants 15 years ago. You know what they say about it? They are not for this, not for this. So what the hell is going on with today's Democratic Party? That is the worst piece of.

• 3:12:03Patrick Bet-David?

  A moment of the State of the Union that's gonna be used between now and the end of the year, I don't know how much impact it's got, I don't know if it's gonna flip some seats, I don't know what it's gonna do, but I do think it's a big mistake that they made. Uh, Mano, go for it. Who do we have out here on what they want, what they want to say?

• 3:12:18Speaker 05

  Hello, Andy Hernandez, uh, I thought he was masterful. He just really exposed what the Democrat Party doesn't stand for or stand for. I don't know, the biggest takeaway that I got is, what do the Democrats stand for? And I will ask you guys is, where would you rank this State of the Union in the five that Trump, or the four, five that Trump has had?

• 3:12:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Where would you put it? I, I, I will tell you from my, and I'll keep that brief because I don't know if I want to go there. I think for me, it's, it's more about the following. Let me tell you what makes it special. If you think about, what is the most difficult decision you have to make this week?

• 3:13:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Think about the most intense, high intense tension moment with your spouse, with your boss, with a client, with a vendor, with a massive nasty negotiation conversation. Then imagine you have to go in the room and face that person. What is the most intense meeting you had this year? And how did you handle that meeting? This guy just walked into the room where nearly half the room hates him. They can't stand him. And he knows, how many people probably watch the State of the Union today? What do you think is the total number of people that are probably gonna end up watching that? What's the number? What do you think the number is? Tens of millions? Rob, what would you say? 50 million? Say 50, 40, 50 million people watched it.

• 3:13:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Whatever, whoever's watching this, you're a regular human being, you think about tension. You just got publicly, your tariffs didn't go through because of Supreme Court. Four of them are sitting literally in front of you. Right there, they're in front of you while you're speaking. And if it's four of them, what does that tell you? At least one of them wasn't for you.

• 3:14:02Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 3:14:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Then you got the complete other side here that's calling you racist, that's calling you all this other stuff. They don't want to see you win. Then you got everybody in mainstream media are saying what they're saying. While you're walking up the aisle, the other guys are rage baiting you. And you get up there and you smile and laugh and have fun and give people Medal of Honors, Medal of Freedoms, Purple Hearts, and you're celebrating with the hockey team and you're saying the women's team's gonna come to the White House on a separate day and you're enjoying yourself? To me, that's like the ultimate middle finger to every hater he has. I think that's why he makes this special. I don't know if the context or the content makes it special. I think what made it special is he was inside a tornado.

• 3:14:44Patrick Bet-David?

  In the middle of it, folks, what is the biggest decision that you're carrying right now? Maybe you know about one of your siblings that's going through a divorce that nobody else knows about. Maybe your kid got caught doing some drugs that you know you're dealing with it. Maybe one of your sons or your daughter called you, they want to get a divorce and leave their wives or their husbands. Maybe you yourself are going through marital issues. Maybe you're going through a health issue nobody knows about. Maybe you're going through bankruptcy, something's going on with you that nobody knows about. Maybe you're going through so many different things. How do you walk into meetings? What do you do? Well, what's the burden the guy's got right now with what he's handling? I mean, this is a job you signed up for to be a president. And to come in and do it like that? And this long? And this calm? And have fun in the face of everybody else?

• 3:15:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Marcus Aurelius, I tweeted this a minute ago. Marcus Aurelius once tweeted this. You guys didn't catch that one, did you? Yeah, he used to be on Twitter a lot back in the days. Marcus Aurelius once said this. The best way to upset your enemies is to remain calm. And he upset his enemies tonight. He made a fool out of them. And by the way, I have a feeling the market's gonna go crazy tonight. He said this, and he didn't say that, and he didn't say this. He's going through this. What is the biggest decision they have to make that they haven't made yet? What is the biggest decisions that they have to make that they haven't made yet? What is it? What do you think happened two hours before that meeting?

• 3:16:13Patrick Bet-David?

  You think he's had two days to prepare for this? You think he's had two days of, "Don't bother me. Don't bother me, let me get some time. I can't shake hands because if I shake hands, I may get sick." You think he has the privilege to do that? Hell, no. What is the biggest decision that he has to make that they haven't made the decision yet? Iran.

• 3:16:32Patrick Bet-David?

  And you go up there, yeah, alright, oh yeah. Hockey, I love the goalie, you know, it was great, that's why we're giving him the Medal of Freedom. What? Yeah. You know, he's a good-looking guy, look at the guy with the green, that, you know, that suit was like two sizes too small. What a good-looking guy, you know? And he's doing all this stuff, working the crowd. So to me, I think you gotta give credit to the man that's under that kind of fire. And he remained calm, poised, played, punked them, did what he did. Got up, gave the longest speech, and left, and he's 79 years old, about to be 80. You gotta respect it, I don't care what anybody's guys, you gotta respect it. Anybody else here that has anything to say? Vic, how about yourself? And maybe introduce yourself and what it is you do, so people know.

• 3:17:18Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm Jack Bradockson, I work at 4A Fort Lauderdale. Um, what I took from tonight, I'm here with my son, my firstborn, and... This is the son that you guys talked to for three, four hours doing hookah? Yes.

• 3:17:34Patrick Bet-David?

  So, I think, the first time, this is his first State of the Union, he's never watched, he didn't even know what a State of the Union was. And for the young kids... How old are you?

• 3:17:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, what, what's the, he's got like a physique, he's like a big boy, huh? Definitely the big boy. Um, these kids, for the first time, in my, the first hour of the State of the Union was, to me, what he did, what he's done, but the last hour, for, for me, taught the young kids,

• 3:18:07Patrick Bet-David?

  the go, the medals, the, what, the hockey teams, the, the...

• 3:18:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Just, it, it, it felt like he was wholesome, like he did it, you know, like he made, the, he made it, like he, he did...

• 3:18:30Patrick Bet-David?

  I think at the end of the day, he felt human. He talked about the medals he gave, he talked about the families and everything he did, and I think... Why do you support him? I like his values. I support him because I believe in him.

• 3:18:47Speaker 04

  I support him because the things that he talks about, I don't agree the way he comes across certain ways. I don't. But I value his values. The way he talks, the way he's with his kids, the way he he's just a, he's a family guy. And at the end of the day, that's what it's all about. And to, to me, that last hour, the last hour, the young kids in this world got it, in my opinion. And that's my opinion.

• 3:19:18Patrick Bet-David?

  I love it. Yeah, I mean, you know, you hope they're watching. I'm trying to think, when you were 23, were you watching State of the Union?

• 3:19:25Speaker 04

  Absolute

• 3:19:26Patrick Bet-David?

  I can tell you what my 14 year old son is doing. He's glued to the screen, watching the State of the Union. He can't wait for me to go talk to him. He's gonna be like, Dad, you came too late. I'm not gonna see him tonight. I'll see him in the morning. I, you know, I like when he said this, I, I didn't watch the State of the Union until I was 47 years old. Today's the first time I'm watching this. Obviously, I'm joking with you. It was probably my late twenties, but 23 years old watching something like this, um, yeah, does, does it, does, now, do me a favor. Flip it. I want you guys to flip it now. To, Vinny, the last part before we wrap this up. Adam, I want you to flip it. Everybody, flip the whole thing. What, what would the other side criticize? What part do you criticize? What part of tonight do you criticize?

• 3:20:10Speaker 04

  If I'm, if I'm

• 3:20:11Patrick Bet-David?

  And keep this in mind, the great thing about this right now is, we have seen nothing. You know how they call Stephen A. Smith, uh, what's the show called? The what? The first take? Cause you're the first one that's giving a take on what's going on, right? We've seen nothing. We don't know what CNN is saying. We don't know what Fox is saying. We don't know what CBS is saying. We know nothing that's going on. Okay. But what do you think the opposition is saying after a speech that he gave tonight?

• 3:20:38Speaker 04

  Because I know how disgusting they are and how they're, they're captured by this evil freaking spirit. What? He's giving a Purple Heart to a guy that was just standing in the street and got shot? It's not like he was at war. He was just on the street and got shot by somebody. Why are you giving a Purple Heart? Why are you giving the Medal of Honor for a guy? That was getting in a helicopter to go to do one of these illegal wars that you're going to do. Why is he doing that? He should be, they should be giving.

• 3:21:04Patrick Bet-David?

  You think they're gonna say that?

• 3:21:05Speaker 04

  Oh, the Democrats? Pat, I'm telling you guys right now, and you made a great point. He's been loving, go back, everybody, go to YouTube when you go home, Google Donald Trump, Letterman, Oprah, all those shows. He's constantly, consistently stayed on message. I love America. I love this country, and the problem is, Democrats hate him more than they love America. That's it. End of the story. So they're gonna come at him, Pat, with that type of stuff. Affordability, people are struggling. Oh, illegals, his ICE Gestapo, they were shooting people in the streets. That's all they're gonna do. I guarantee you, I guarantee you, they're gonna say that that guy did not deserve a Purple Heart. I'll bet you they're gonna say that. That's how disgusting they are. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib were in there yelling at Trump.

• 3:21:49Patrick Bet-David?

  What do you think, Tom? What do you think, Tom?

• 3:21:51Tom Ellsworth?

  I think there's a 20-minute section that they're going after, and I took notes on this. Starting with the small, the little girl in the black dress, the cutest little girl, the Delilah Law, on no commercial driver's licenses for illegal aliens. It's gonna be, you know, it's unfortunate what happened with that accident, but he's denying them opportunity to work. He still, then he went in from that to deporting illegals, to eliminating sanctuary cities, to the Save America Act and No Mail and Ballots Together. He is trying to disenfranchise from people who are voting. He's trying to disenfranchise them. All of that came together, they're gonna go hard on that, which they already been on.

• 3:22:34Tom Ellsworth?

  Then, deployed forces to DC and to Maine and to Illinois, they're gonna come back with, he was sending troops in when they weren't needed, he made it worse. I think they're gonna double down on those things, because those is the red meat for them. And I, actually, I don't know how much the rebuttal will say. It's the governor of Virginia, a woman about, what, is she 38 or 40 years old? But it's your angry, white, middle-aged woman, the perfect rebuttal. That's who's giving the rebuttal for. The Democrats right now on whatever channel they're broadcasting and I believe that that is what they're gonna go after because there's really not, what do you do about the

• 3:23:17Tom Ellsworth?

  rest of it, inflation, they don't have math to go after it, there, there she is, Abigail Spanberger, they don't have that to go after, reduce the price of pharmaceuticals, that's a fact, how do you go after that, you can't go after that, right, Americans are off food stamps, that's a number, you can't go after that, the hockey team ones, you celebrate it, I know they hate the patriotism in that, but what do they go after, they go after that, that 25 minutes, you know the 25 minutes I'm talking about, he went down that laundry list, that is what they're gonna go shoot at, because that's their red meat, and that's, by the way, that's their voting block, by the way Schumer and Obama and everybody, I'll tell you what happened to them, you think they're crazy now and they're talking about

• 3:23:59Tom Ellsworth?

  this, what changed, I'll tell you what changed, people moved out of blue states to red states, electoral votes in the elections moved and they had to take steps against it, they saw what was happening, it is possible that Wisconsin could be semi-permanently red, you look at rural Wisconsin, with Detroit shrinking as a city, Detroit's no longer a top 5 city, when Adam was there and growing up and his family, I thought Detroit was like number 4, Houston is like number 3 now, so you see what's moving out of Michigan, Michigan could become permanently red unless, unless you bring in different voters, and I believe that's

• 3:24:40Tom Ellsworth?

  what's happening and that's their panic and that's why Schumer and Obama, what did they say last time, oh yeah, legally we have to do something about this, now it's, oh, you're disenfranchising citizens coming to the United States.

• 3:24:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam.

• 3:24:59Speaker 06

  out of this, please. Okay, we don't need to go there. All right. Let's not do that.

• 3:25:02Tom Ellsworth?

  You lived there when it was great. You lived there when the Pistons were there and then the NBA was great.

• 3:25:07Speaker 06

  My dad is from Detroit. My mom is from Minneapolis. But Pat, you asked one question. Flip it. What are the Democrats thinking? Is that what you asked?

• 3:25:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 3:25:15Speaker 06

  Okay, so let me give you an example. So I just said, don't talk about my family, but I'm going to talk about my mom right now. Guys, brace for impact. I'm about to call out my mom. Because I love my mom. She's a Democrat. I have family that's Democrat. I have friends that are Democrats. Obviously, I have friends Republican. Everyone in the middle. I love Democrats. I have no love for the socialists or the Marxists or anything like that. But my mom is texting me and she goes, I know you're in DC. I know, but you know, he's so harsh and you know, his delivery and he's a narcissist and I don't like the way he makes me feel. And I text my mom the following words. Mom, the facts don't care about your feelings and please never vote again. I love you, Mom. Here's the reality. I literally text you that. I'll show you PPT.

• 3:25:57Speaker 06

  I said, Mom, please don't vote because women, and I love the women, I love the women. They're very emotional. And I get it. Trump might not, he's very abrasive. He's a brute. I get it. But do you want a nice guy running the country that feels really nice? Or do you want a tough SOB that gets stuff done? Trump is that second version. And I'm sorry, you might be a little uncomfortable with how he handles it. But he's a gangster and he's going to get stuff done. So you might not agree with how he handles it, but look at what Biden did. Are you kidding me? You want a nice corpse? Or do you want a real president that gets stuff done? So the last thing I'll say is this. Remember in kindergarten, we had, we played show and tell? Right? The whole thing that, you know, don't, don't, don't just tell, show what's going on.

• 3:26:42Speaker 06

  That picture of when Trump said, stand up if you're in favor of protecting American citizens versus illegal aliens. They're going to show that picture. And they're going to have to tell the story. They're just going to show it. Guys, this is who the Democrats are. I'm sorry, guys. This is now you. You're going to stand up. You stand up for the insider trading with Nancy Pelosi, but you're not going to stand up for your American citizens? To me, it's disgusting and I'll end with this. You know, they say that the best revenge is massive success. Trump, at the beginning, he goes, what a difference a president can make. Are you kidding me? What Biden was doing, you know? Weekend at Bernie's style versus what Trump is doing. It's night and day. Respect to you, President Trump.

• 3:27:26Speaker 06

  And mom, I love you. I'm sorry, I'll be home soon. But please never vote again.

• 3:27:31Speaker 04

  Can I ask you an honest question?

• 3:27:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 3:27:33Speaker 04

  You've known him for how long?

• 3:27:36Patrick Bet-David?

  How long have I? What's the first time you came to talk to me in that event? 12?

• 3:27:40Speaker 06

  Uh, we, we met in 2012, working out in the gym.

• 3:27:43Speaker 04

  So how many, how many years? How many years is that?

• 3:27:46Speaker 06

  Vinnie, do not know what year 2012, do some math.

• 3:27:49Speaker 04

  No, I'm asking you how many years?

• 3:27:50Patrick Bet-David?

  14 years.

• 3:27:51Speaker 04

  14 years. Did you, would you ever have thought that fast forward to now? That Adam, the Biden voting Hillary Obama? That guy would be in Washington bragging about Trump and yelling at his mom not to vote for Democrats? Did you ever think that you would have this much impact?

• 3:28:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, let me tell you, you, you, you haven't seen with a lot of people. I've turned a Mexican gangster into the biggest Trump supporting guy. I do this for a living behind closed doors. So Adam's just another one of those guys did it to. But let me tell you.

• 3:28:21Speaker 04

  Don't rule out.

• 3:28:21Speaker 06

  That's true, but he also threatened me with a pow pow if I didn't turn my way around.

• 3:28:25Patrick Bet-David?

  But let me tell you guys.

• 3:28:26Speaker 06

  I want to credit DVD, by the way.

• 3:28:27Patrick Bet-David?

  First conversation Adam and I had when Adam wanted to move to Addison because he loved the beach in Addison. And he says he wants to move to Texas. And he calls me, he says, hey, you know, I'm coming down all this stuff. And while I'm doing the interview, because I was in Miami, I was shooting a video that we never went live with because it was a helicopter video. We just ended up not doing anything with the helicopter video because of the timing of it. And you know, anyways, long story short, I'm sitting here, I meet him here. He said, Pat, I'm willing to move. I want to drop everything and just come to Addison. You don't have to pay me, you don't have to do anything. I just want to be around you in the office. That's what I'm going to do. I said, okay, let's talk next week. So I call him. I said, so Adam, question for you. Yes. I said, before we talk about you coming down here, um, tell me how you feel about Trump?

• 3:29:12Patrick Bet-David?

  And he goes like this, oh, what do you mean? I said exactly what I mean. How do you feel about him? Like, man, this is not an appropriate question to ask in a job interview, but it's like, hey, you're wanting to come down. Yeah. How do you feel about Trump? Well, do you remember what you said or no? Do you remember any of it on what you said on that phone?

• 3:29:32Speaker 06

  There was a lot of stumbling and stuttering, you know, like Vinnie does.

• 3:29:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, so he goes like that. And then I said, just so you know, I support this guy. And this is a guy that I think is the right guy for the job. And I need to know that. That's not going to change here. So this is my position. You need to be comfortable with it. Anyways, the relationship started that way. And to be in right now where he's at. Adam is the biggest MAGA guy I know. Period. That is the weirdest thing to tell you this. Adam is the biggest MAGA guy I know. By the way, just so everybody knows, here's how crazy this is. He's the only guy on the panel that's been invited to the White House. That's the craziest thing for you to think about. Okay, this guy went from being the biggest hater, Biden, Hillary Clinton, all this stuff. He won money of Biden becoming the president.

• 3:30:18Patrick Bet-David?

  But look, respect you for the fact that you're able to.

• 3:30:21Speaker 06

  And I'll be at the White House tomorrow, PVD, just a, you know, just a little cherry on top.

• 3:30:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, yeah, I'm not surprised. You're already in there. I think at this point, there's a lot of potential jobs that could be lined up for somebody like you if you wanted to go into politics. But, you know, this is the part that I think about. And keep Adam on. If you can keep the panel with everybody, with all of us, Rob, the way you had it a minute ago, just keep electing, because I'm going to come to you guys. Here's what I want to think about. So you know how you see these guys on Twitter who have their own podcasts or rumble or whatever, streamers and all this stuff? And the business model of rage baiting is a real thing. It's a real thing. Like, I'll see my oldest son rage bait my younger son. And my younger son will lose his mind and he'll come to me. They called you, they called me the other day.

• 3:31:09Patrick Bet-David?

  You picked up the phone and you were kind of handling it. Yep. I can't believe he said this. And I said, yeah, he's trying to get under your skin. He's winning.

• 3:31:19Patrick Bet-David?

  But you know what he said to me? He said I'm a diss. Is it true? Of course it's not true. Why would you ask that? But if you're getting angry, you're validating to him that it's true. So they'll do this to poke. If you guys haven't seen these videos with the beautiful thumbnails with my face on it, it's hilarious. Sometimes I just watch it. Guys, they make these thumbnails that are so, especially with new AI. It's, I will sit in the back. I'll watch a thumbnail of me and I'll have Vinnie say, Vinnie, look at this one. I will laugh my ass off, even though they're trying to get under my skin. What am I going to you here? Here's the problem with Democrats and all these rage baiting people out there. You can rage bait and get under someone's skin.

• 3:32:04Patrick Bet-David?

  But what do you stand for? Show me the results. Have you built a successful business? Have you made real money legally? Have you built a family with kids? Have you contributed to society? What have you done positive? You can rage bait all you want. Nobody gives a shit if there's no results, right? Okay, so now let me bring it here. There's a little bit of background noise. Rob, someone's playing a clip that I can use. It's probably Adam. Adam, turn off your phone because we can hear the video you're watching. But this is the part I want you to think about. So you know how they say, you know, show me the Epstein files. He's a racist. He's a diss. Democrats have a chance to show what they're for. I don't hear what you're for.

• 3:32:49Patrick Bet-David?

  All I keep hearing is what you're against. If you don't sell to your people what you're for, you're not going to find people. All you're going to find is attract a bunch of rage baiting people. It's like in a company when somebody quits or gets fired, who do they go find? You ever wonder when people quit or get fired from a company? What is the first party they go to? Has anybody ever seen this at different companies? What happens when somebody gets fired? What are the first people they go with five minutes later or that night or that weekend? What do they go to? To who?

• 3:33:22Tom Ellsworth?

  The negative ones.

• 3:33:22Patrick Bet-David?

  To other people that got fired. And then what do they do? They team up and they say, let me tell you this and let me tell you this and this. Yeah, but you're hanging out with people that all got fired. You're just hanging out with all the people that are complaining. What do you stand for? Show me the ideas that you have. If they can't present the ideas on what they stand for, I think this is gonna be scary for them going into 2028. They may have a little bit of momentum going into the midterms, but even now, you have to show what you stand for.

• 3:33:53Speaker 04

  Can you even, can you, and I'm being dead serious, could either of you, name right now, just real quick, name one thing that the Democratic Party actually stand for? Not, not the illegals, none of that.

• 3:34:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Pro-choice.

• 3:34:03Speaker 04

  Pro-choice? Killing innocent babies, go ahead.

• 3:34:06Patrick Bet-David?

  That's a big one for them, it's pro-choice. You get the, you get 67% of women votes.

• 3:34:10Speaker 04

  They love murdering babies. Oh yeah, what else?

• 3:34:12Patrick Bet-David?

  But that's still a campaign thing that they have.

• 3:34:14Speaker 04

  Very huge.

• 3:34:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, you got, you know, healthcare that they're gonna get, free healthcare.

• 3:34:18Speaker 04

  Okay, yeah, they love free stuff.

• 3:34:19Patrick Bet-David?

  You got, how many people are in entitlement programs right now? Forty plus million?

• 3:34:23Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 3:34:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Those are voters.

• 3:34:24Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 3:34:25Patrick Bet-David?

  So you got all the entitlement programs.

• 3:34:27Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 3:34:27Patrick Bet-David?

  What else you got?

• 3:34:28Speaker 04

  That's, that's what I'm saying.

• 3:34:30Patrick Bet-David?

  You got the LGBTQ community.

• 3:34:32Speaker 04

  It's a very small.

• 3:34:33Patrick Bet-David?

  You got the 82% vote of blacks. It used to be 92%.

• 3:34:37Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 3:34:37Patrick Bet-David?

  They're at, they're at on 76 to 82%, depending on who's running.

• 3:34:41Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 3:34:41Patrick Bet-David?

  So they have the black vote. They have 65% of the Hispanic vote. You got the tax the rich model that's, you know,

• 3:34:50Speaker 04

  They think that's being forced or something.

• 3:34:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Who's the Ruffalo, who's the actor?

• 3:34:54Speaker 04

  Mark Ruffalo.

• 3:34:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Mark Ruffalo today talked about you should tax the rich in New York. Look what's going on and what kind of money they're paying for all this stuff. This is not, you should go, this is what they stand for.

• 3:35:04Tom Ellsworth?

  This is Hawk.

• 3:35:05Patrick Bet-David?

  But Vinny, that's 75 million people.

• 3:35:08Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm. Yeah, but, but look, look what hap, look what happened with Kamala. And I'm telling you right now, I saw another CNN lineup. Think about this. Gavin Newsom is number one. Kamala Harris is close. AOC, Pete Buttigieg. Guys, think about the pool of people and collectively, what do they stand for? It's just Trump is this, Trump is that, Trump is that? And then when they land, and now it's like, okay, what do you actually stand for? They don't have anything. They don't have anything.

• 3:35:36Patrick Bet-David?

  You know what we believe in, though? We believe, let me tell you guys a crazy thing, Humberto just sent me. You guys don't even know this right now, what you were a part of. There's ABC, there's NBC, there's CBS, there's all these massive podcasters, YouTube. You guys know you were part of the fifth largest live stream on YouTube today, just being here, okay? Look at that. Bigger than C-SPAN, bigger than Fox News, bigger than Live Now, bigger than Face the Nation. Okay, look, look, look, White House is one, you got Midas Touch, you got Associated Press, you got Destino, and then you got PBD Podcast, and it's Face the Nation, Live Now, Fox News, C-SPAN, The Fixes, you got all the other ones. CNN, look at CNN where they were at.

• 3:36:19Patrick Bet-David?

  So, so you guys, you guys were a part of this tonight as we're going through it. And the reason for that is because there's an audience of people around America, bless you, Rob. God bless you, Rob. God bless you, Rob. Everybody say, "God bless you, Rob."

• 3:36:33Tom Ellsworth?

  God bless you, Rob.

• 3:36:34Patrick Bet-David?

  God bless you, Rob. There is a audience in America that fully believes the future looks bright, and that's us. Yes. Very simple. And that audience keeps finding themselves, which is something I am very, very excited about. And I'm shamelessly gonna put the plug again for you. I want to see millions of people going to work, going to church, going to the mall, hanging out with their family, going out there saying, "I believe the future looks bright." If you're one of those guys that loves America, do you believe the future looks bright? Go support some gear, especially 250 year anniversary coming up. And probably in the next four weeks, God willing, we're gonna make an announcement about 4th of July. It's gonna be very unique, it's gonna be very big, it's gonna be very crazy.

• 3:37:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Much bigger than what we did Election Night for some of you guys that were there, it'll be historic. And we're gonna have the time of our lives together, celebrating the 250 year anniversary. Hopefully you will be with us as well when we make that announcement, but stay tuned. I need something called permits before I can announce it, okay? And permits requires a little bit of, you know, business owners here know what I'm talking about with permits. But having said that, everybody that was here with us, good for you guys, no yawning. I saw you guys staying tight. Thanks to the bartender and the folks that run the boardroom, you guys are awesome. To the crew back here with Jake, Humberto, Rob, and everybody else in the back, Mono, all of us. Adam, you too, I know Adam's gotta go to a nightclub.

  This is actually a big deal. I want to thank the chairman, chairwoman of the House Republican Conference. We're in her office right now, Lisa McLean. She's incredible, and I'll tell you why. She's the most authentic woman. She's cool. She's about five foot at best. We're using her facilities.

• 3:38:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, I saw, is she the last one in that video?

• 3:38:25Tom Ellsworth?

  Yes.

• 3:38:26Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, can you go to that clip? No, no, no, I have to show this clip to people, because I have to make a comment. Can you go to that clip, Rob? And go, because you know what Adam looks like standing next to her? Adam looked like the center for the Israeli national team. No, no, no, no, keep going back, go back, go back, go back, go back, go back, go back, go back. Keep going. You'll know it like right there. Right there. Let them talk, play the clip. Adam looks like the center from Tel Aviv. Look at him.

• 3:38:54Speaker 07

  Tell my husband that. Heyo!

• 3:38:57Tom Ellsworth?

  I mean, I'm sure you told that. Captain. Now they're proudly democratic socialists. What's going on?

• 3:39:02Patrick Bet-David?

  You can pause it right there. Well, Adam.

• 3:39:03Tom Ellsworth?

  She's incredible. She's been so inviting of us. She's literally the most powerful woman in Congress. So I want to thank her team. Also, thank Justin, thank Henry for setting everything up. And thank you for be presenting us to DC, and future looks bright. Thank you so much.

• 3:39:20Patrick Bet-David?

  You got, you got to get your butt back here, because we're flying to a different place. Is it tomorrow? When are we flying out? Thursday. He has to go to the White House. By the way, guys, let me tell you. I don't know a lot of people that love traveling as much as Vinnie. I, I know.

• 3:39:36Patrick Bet-David?

  When we get on these flights, our flight to Aspen, landing in this one airport. We almost hit two different mountains on the way to landing. The, the, the, what do you call it? The, the. The turbulence? Was so bad, it was, I can't even tell you, but Vinnie and I shared a very special moment together. We bonded. We were green. We were, we bonded in a way that we will never forget. So, but anyways, having said that, to everyone that stayed with us till the end, you're the best. God bless. Have a good night. We'll see you guys again tomorrow morning.
