My friends, I cannot say enough how happy I am that we have this president of the United States, Donald John Trump.
I cannot put into words.
I cannot explicate.
I cannot limb.
I cannot expatiate anything.
Anything.
Other than what we've said, and what I've said, he was absolutely brilliant today.
Brilliant.
When he met with that horrible, rancid child, that moonbat, that benighted Gavin Newsom, he kind of hugged him, and I thought he was most professional.
And he was speaking to the governor of California, not as somebody who was a political adversary.
I don't know what your thoughts are on that.
I'd love to hear them.
I'd love to see what you think about this, about how this thing works, about what these people are about, about what you saw.
It's very difficult sometimes for people to put personal feelings aside, but he showed an absolute ability to temper his feelings, to act like the mature, magnificent leader that he is.
We are so happy, so lucky to have him as our leader.
Who agrees with me?
Who agrees with me?
Who here can say, They agree with me.
Who is it?
Who can say you are so correct?
Who?
Who is it?
Who?
Look at this.
Hi from the UK.
Did you happen to just catch me on the show on Atwood?
Two hours on that show.
What a good man.
Seeing our great friends of the UK.
A great jaunty show.
Talking about, of all things, JFK and conspiracies.
It was a wonderful time.
I hope you saw it as well.
Thank you so much.
We love having all of our friends.
Look at this.
Janice, Shadow Steve, Alfred E. Newman.
Everybody says, I agree with you.
James Stewart does.
This is the most important.
This is the most important thing in the world.
I love this man.
I love this man.
And he shows That when it's time, when you are California, when you're North Carolina, and he comes, you want him to speak to you in a way that says, I'm your president.
It's reminiscent of what I've told you many, many times before of LBJ, who went to Louisiana.
It was Hurricane.
Betsy, I think it was?
In 1965, perhaps?
In any event, he went as the President of the United States.
And what he did was, it was so interesting, he was so wonderful, he walked into a black church, African American church, and there he was, among all of these folks, all of these people, all of these...
And he walked in, and as they were so...
What's the word?
They were so overwhelmed, so distraught, so absolutely just terrified.
He said, this is the President of the United States, and I'm here to help.
It was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my life.
It was so...
Brilliant.
And it showed, yet again, his...
I don't know what the word is.
It showed his sense of being the father figure.
Being, dare I say, paternalistic.
It was brilliant.
Absolutely brilliant.
Look at this.
This man, this billionaire, who gets along so well.
We're just regular folks.
watch this.
Whenever it started, we started moving our vehicles to the top of the road, and by the time we got the vehicles moved...
Now, by the way, let me just...
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't do this, but I will.
Melania's here, too.
Melania's here.
With her jacket and her boots and she's wearing her hat.
And they're standing off to the side and they're showcasing.
And I love the way the president just puts his hand out and says, go ahead, it's okay.
This woman, here she is speaking to the world in front of an electorate that has the presidential seal.
And look how nice he is.
Look how he's so kind.
He's helping her out.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
I love this.
Whenever it started...
We started moving our vehicles to the top of the road, and by the time we got the vehicles moved, the water had already hit our ankles in the house.
And so I grabbed my purse and my little pug dog, and my husband grabbed the dog food and put it in a trash bag.
And by the time we got out into the driveway, it was already waist deep.
There were sticks and that kind of thing.
I didn't think I was going to make it, but we did make it out.
Wow.
We made it to the top of the road and we were kind of stuck there for hours because we couldn't get out any of the ways because it was flooded all the way around.
It took us hours and we sat there and finally it receded enough to where we could actually get out.
It was probably like close to midnight.
Let me stop right there.
Maybe it's the trial lawyer in me.
Maybe it's that part.
I can't help it.
But when somebody speaks in a way that is so so honest so it's something that is just so how do I say this?
Just this scene.
She's so honest.
She's sad.
She's scared.
She's eloquent.
She is breviloquent.
Is brevity and eloquence kind of like in a portmanteau.
I'm sorry.
I don't say I love this, but I love the honesty.
And it started like 5, 6 o 'clock in the morning.
We just lost everything that we had.
Didn't even have a breath for like three days.
Thank you.
Look at this.
Isn't that something?
Yeah, so when the hurricane storms hit North Carolina, hit our home, my daughter and my wife and I were actually out of town.
But unfortunately, my dad, who was still at home, and my mother was staying at our house with our animals.
And the waters got so high that it actually lifted between that and the tornado that came through, or microburst is what they've been calling them, and lifted his home and the house that I grew up in and crashed it into our barn.
It took away his business.
It took away all of our tools and tractors and everything needed to keep the farm going.
Let me stop right there.
I don't want to just redo the whole thing.
Ask yourself, where was Joe Biden?
Where was Joe Biden?
That one time!
That son of a bitch, booty-giggity-giggity, who was breastfeeding his...
Just...
This is a guy who has gold-plated this, his own plane, And he shows this absolute incredible honesty.
Just this, look at this scene.
This is America.
I'm sorry.
This reminds me of the people that I knew growing up.
This is Florida.
This is the salt of the earth.
This is what America is.
Not anybody at the Academy Awards.
Not Diddy.
Not Bieber.
Not whoever it is.
Just regular folks like this.
And when they lost everything, they mean they lost everything.
And my mother was trapped in the house and there was no way to escape because the water got so high.
The only thing she could do was ride it out and wait until the water came down.
So we've been...
Doing a little bit of battling with our insurance and FEMA.
We did have proper insurance with...
Oh, FEMA.
FEMA.
Did you hear him today about FEMA?
It was brilliant.
FEMA.
Doing a heck of a job, Barney.
Heck of a job.
This is incredible.
Absolutely incredible.
Flood insurance and homeowners insurance.
Since we had proper insurance, FEMA's not been able to assist us with a whole lot of things.
Look at it.
See that, Trump?
Again, we've been having some issues with China.
You see that look?
You know what he's saying?
Trump says, can you believe this shit?
So we've been doing a little bit of battling with our insurance and FEMA.
We did have proper insurance with flood insurance.
Susie says FEMA.
Homeowner's insurance.
Since we had proper insurance, FEMA's not been able to assist us with a whole lot of things.
He's looking at it and he's like, can you believe this shit?
Again, we've been having some issues with China.
That's a kiss of death right there.
For our insurance in a timely manner.
We had to do mold mitigation on our home, which is extremely expensive, before the structural engineer even came out in order to get our flood payout.
And to me, that was not really acceptable.
Has the insurance company been responsive or not?
Not so much.
I'm hoping so.
And we need some assistance with that.
We reached out to an attorney.
What's the name of the insurance company?
What's the name of the insurance company?
Announce it.
Announce it.
North Carolina Farm Bureau.
North Carolina?
Oh, they won't be in business that long.
Okay, you got that one?
You got the regulatory clause out for that one?
Yep.
That's terrible.
That's what we're after here.
Are a lot of people having their problems here?
Look at this.
I've heard different stories from others, and a lot of folks are...
And I've heard some good instances of even Farm Bureau themselves, but in my case, you know...
Can I ask you a question?
Are you...
I'm sorry.
I don't mean to do this.
Are you finding this...
I hope you're not finding this...
Well, I'm fascinated by this.
I hope you are as well.
I don't want to say waste your time, but this is to me, this is just so pure.
I hope you agree, because I'm watching this.
And I think you agree.
Sent out a third-party adjuster immediately.
Well, they wound up firing that third-party adjuster group.
He gave us a quote for a much higher estimate than what we received.
Uh-oh.
And then he got let go.
He got fired.
So then they brought in another third-party adjuster to come in and lowball us.
We've not received any kind of...
I think there's a woman in the back.
She's freezing.
The blood insurance is our primary insurance.
And so there was roof leaks in the home that the inspectors found the adjusters.
Well, that contributed to us losing some of our personal properties that come in the third story where there's no or second story living space.
By the way, two things.
Look at how good this guy is in explaining.
He's excellent.
And look at the little girl.
She has no idea.
This is the President of the United States.
You're a part of history.
You're going to be...
Look at this.
See the door in the back?
You mentioned Joe Biden, Jill, Gay Mala.
Unburdened by the past or whatever it is.
Again, booty giggity.
Nobody.
They don't care.
So, they've neglected us for...
Is your mother safe?
Yes.
Yeah, she's safe.
She's right here.
So, we made it.
Oh, look at mom.
It is surreal how he relates.
Somebody said right now, it's very surreal the way how he relates.
I cried how awful they had been treated.
Just awful.
How scared were you?
Did you think you were going to make it?
No.
I just started praying.
So you were sort of on a boat.
Your house became a boat.
It's a big pontoon.
By the way, let me tell you what he's doing.
This is something called Rogerian Active Listening.
He may not know this, but it's a technique that's done Sometimes in therapy and it works like this where you say something like, it sounds like you're this.
You're telling them, I know what you're saying and you're very afraid.
You were afraid, weren't you?
You didn't know what to do, did you?
I understand and I'm listening to you.
I'm hearing it, I'm interpreting it, I'm giving it right back.
It's very, very effective.
Great.
It's called active listening.
Very good.
I was next door.
See, first of all, I love this guy right off the bat.
Right off the bat.
This is a guy that I can tell you right now, I love this guy.
I've known this guy my whole life.
I've known him before.
I've known him in...
I've just known him.
I've known him my life.
I've known so many people who look like this.
They remind me, I'm telling you, I can relate more to this than to New York.
The house, and my son was out of town, so when he came in to Charlotte, to my sisters, he called about two in the morning.
Because at midnight, the water was still in the stream.
And then the banks.
When he called, the water was coming up.
I started moving vehicles up to about 5.30 in the morning.
Look at the way Trump's looking at him.
Look at the way Trump's looking at him, by the way.
Brad says, I hope he gets all them companies in check.
Oh, yes.
Indeed.
Indeed.
Look at Trump's look in his face.
This is empathic.
He's listening to this.
He's not just, this isn't just some little, you know, some photo op.
He is there.
And here is a billionaire president of the United States talking to Xi Jinping, was negotiating $600 billion from MBS in Saudi Arabia, and now he's talking to Buddy Strickland here, and it's like they're all friends.
And Xi was in the house.
And I pulled up to the steps and I said, hop on the fender and I'll get you out.
Well, he built a beach house on stills.
Five times higher than the floodplain.
And she said, well, he said, I'll be okay.
So I'm staying with the dogs.
So I went to high ground with some vehicles, hers included.
And the water covered everything.
But I'd already seen it come around both sides of my place.
So I got my blind and deaf dog and a bag of valuables.
My blind and deaf dog.
I mean, doesn't your heart just...
A bag of his blind and deaf dog.
I'm sorry.
This is...
Took it up off the side of the hill behind my house.
And then...
I was heading to the cemetery back there because I knew it was open.
Because there was trees falling and uprooting.
It was raining.
You never saw anything like that?
No.
No, I've been through floods all my life around there.
Never enough.
Now remember this.
Trump says something later.
About I've never seen anything like this.
But you're okay, right?
Yep.
House destroyed.
Look at that.
We're going to help you out.
We're going to help you out.
Appreciate it.
Thanks for being here.
Anybody else?
You guys okay?
Our day that morning began a little taller with some trees falling into our house, which our house is...
It goes back four generations, 80 years, and never came close to flooding.
Wow!
And we woke up with trees about 4.30 or 5 in the morning, and our house sits three-tenths of a mile back off the road, and the water, you know, we've had flooding and such in the lake, but nothing like we saw.
And like most everybody else, we moved five vehicles this far up, lawnmowers and everything else, and the water started coming in the house.
And when I got up to about ankle high, we have a loft.
I got her up in that and tried to gather what you might want, which was totally random.
And when I made it to the loft and started getting up to about her hips, I built a little makeshift ladder and we got out on our roof.
And we spent four hours on the roof.
I had a little baggie.
I did notes on my cell phone to my two kids and my two grandkids.
Something to identify, I mean, in case we were lost.
Oh, my God.
No, we didn't think we were going to make it at all.
I mean, our house was 25 feet underwater.
I didn't think you were going to live.
No, we were watching houses, trailers, bodies.
Can you imagine writing, just identifying yourself if something happens to you so that people can identify you?
This is just wow.
And he speaks about it so matter-of-factly, but so bravely and so heroically.
This is just, this is incredible.
Coming by us.
And we live in the Azalea Road area in East Asheville.
That's right, Karen Peterson.
They're real people.
We watched our garage float by.
But we got to a point where it crested about four feet up on the roof.
We took about three or four hours for it so we could kind of do everything in reverse and got out in the mud to higher ground.
And I got out higher ground up to the subway and got over to her daughter's house where when she saw that I didn't have her, she lost it.
And I was like, she's okay, she's alive.
And we tried to make our way back in there and gather things best we could.
We found a body right away.
We had about eight bodies in our area for the first two weeks located.
And we were lucky we weren't one of them and blessed.
It's not matter-of-facty.
Like other people, no insurance on flood insurance, so we had to depend on FEMA.
They did what they could do, and, of course, it's not enough.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes, that's crazy.
But, again, we're thankful to be alive, but it's a long haul.
What are you doing now?
Staying in a camper.
I've never been, if you all have noticed, I'm a big guy.
I don't sleep in campers very well.
And the first night we spent in the camper, very grateful with the Asheville Dream Center coming through with one.
Do you still have the land?
Oh, yeah.
It's family land.
The land, it looks like a beach now.
It's sand.
Can it be built on it?
Yes.
Do you intend to do that?
Yes.
You want to build it again?
Samaritan's Purse.
We're working with them.
We're working with people.
It's 80 years, four generations.
But the house is totally done?
No, the house is there.
They came in and mudded it.
But everything in it was completely destroyed.
Yeah, it's tough.
I think we're at a point in Asheville where people have forgot about Asheville, and it's stagnant.
Everything has stopped.
I'm going to stop right there.
Andy Carman about Asheville says, I'm in Asheville twice a year for the last 30 years, and what these folks are saying is dead on.
Swannanoa is gone.
They have 25 feet of water going through.
They're still recovering bodies.
Horrible.
Still!
Still.
Still.
And I apologize.
Well, I was going to talk about these ICE arrests and these radical, these criminal types.
But this...
Now, this is a celebration of the American spirit.
And this great president.
This great president.
This, I don't care what every...
This is it.
This is paternal.
This is, he's the leader.
He's, it's, it's, it's incredible.
Incredible.
Thank you, sir.
Look at that.
Thank you, Jack.
Thank you.
There she is.
I'm Pastor Nix, our church right down the road.
We had only purchased in May, and...
It's a big church.
We're a small congregation.
And I had people say, what are you going to do with this big building?
And I said, only God knows.
And we had our dedication and the storm came the next week.
Wow.
And the outpouring of people.
My son brought the first load of supplies.
And from there, I stayed there for about three months.
I slept on the floor for about three weeks because the need was so great.
The people were so devastated, and I said, I want to be here for them.
And they were coming in just day and night, so there's really no need for me to go home.
But we had people from Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Indiana, Oklahoma.
People from all over.
We have not received any help from the government or anything.
But I said, Lord, if you want us to do that, people.
All over the states.
But FEMA did nothing.
See that?
FEMA did nothing.
The locals and the people that knew us.
And before the week was over, Our church was so packed with supplies, we couldn't even walk.
Even in our sanctuary, it was up to the platform of things and in our halls and in our rooms.
And we're just now beginning to get a little straightened out.
But somebody said, how long are you going to be here?
I said, I'm going to be here through the winter and even on, if possible.
Because when you meet people that's been through the struggle, I had a little lady come up.
I said, can we do anything special for you?
And she said, I don't want to be selfish, but said, could I have a cup of coffee?
And I handed her that coffee and she stood there and tears just poured.
She said, you don't realize how important the little things.
It's not the big things in life that we have, but it's the little things and knowing that God is our source.
I don't...
Look, man, I don't have to have a lot of things.
I had trees, about 20 trees down in my yard, but that didn't really matter, doesn't matter, because the needs of the people is what I want to be there for.
God is good.
He's very good.
And my daughter, now, her house is really in bad shape, and I'll let her tell you about that, but thank you, President.
Thank you, President.
We appreciate you so much.
I love that.
Thank you, President.
That is just, oh my God.
That should just get into your soul.
My God.
Thank you, President.
It's beautiful.
Absolutely.
Positively.
I don't know what to say.
That killed me.
I live out in the Fairview area of North Carolina near the Batcave Lake Lure area.
And our area was hit.
It was hit really hard.
I was home alone, and my husband had stayed in town because we take care of a little lady that's 98 years old, and she lives out in the woods by herself.
And I said, just stay with her and make sure that she's okay.
And I got up the next morning, and my first thought was, I want to go see what our road and bridge looks like.
So as I was making it down to the road and the bridge, there was no road and bridge.
And so, you know, here we are.
We're like a little island.
You know, we can't.
Access the main road or anything.
And then the fire department came by the next day and said that they were evacuating me and my neighbor because a landslide was going to come.
And they told me to get my stuff and get ready.
And so while I was getting my stuff and getting ready, there was a knock at the door.
So I thought it was the fireman.
And I went to the door, and there stood my 21-year-old son.
His name's Nathan.
And he had drove as far as he could to get to me.
But he hiked five miles, and it took him a really long time.
And he got there, and he said, Mom, grab a bag.
We've got to go.
And I said, Son, there's no way.
I can hike out of here.
And he was like, No.
He said, We've got to go.
So we started hiking out, and I seen one of my neighbors who...
She had no clothes on.
Her skin was like chunked up.
It was just, she was blue.
She had been in the waters and where she had went or, I don't know, but horrific is just all I can say.
But then as me and my son hiked on out, we went through where...
This place, we call it Craigtown, but there were a lot of family members there that passed away, like 11 of them.
There were people out everywhere looking for their loved ones, and there were dead bodies.
My son was like, Mom, you're going to see things you don't want to see.
So anyway, we got through all that, but I stayed at our church.
Sound booth.
My husband and I, we just slept up in the sound booth for a couple of months because we didn't have power or anything for about two months out there.
And then we...
We have went back.
I've been fighting with FEMA since day one.
Our community, there's like 32 homes.
We don't have a road and a bridge.
We're driving through our neighbor's property.
You know, I went to EMS and I said, look, my concern is if we have a fire or we have an emergency out here, you're not going to get to us.
You can't get those big trucks up here.
And I've called and called and called FEMA.
And, you know, I said it's...
This happened on September 27th.
That's four months ago.
Well, for us, today is still September 27th.
You know, we haven't had help.
And so when I talk to FEMA, I'm explaining the road and the bridge, and they send me a letter that tells me to basically fix it and send in my receipts, and they'll refund me some money.
I'm looking at a road and bridge that, honestly, the bridge itself is probably going to be $300,000 and the road could be close to that also because the community has to have big boulders brought in.
We're not a rich community.
We can't fix it ourselves.
It's just, as far as house repairs, I'm still pending.
I can't get money from FEMA until I fix the road and bridge and send in my...
Proof that it's fixed and everything.
It's been a nightmare, and I totally feel like we've been forgotten.
If it had not been for our fellow American citizens who stepped up to help us, I don't know what we would have done.
I have five neighbors around me who completely lost everything.
I have damage to my house, and I don't feel...
Entitled.
I'm embarrassed to even say I need help.
And sometimes there's even that survivor's guilt is what they're calling it.
You feel guilty to even be alive sometimes.
When you look around, you see your neighbors that are gone.
And it's just, we need help.
I wrote a letter to send to Congress.
I don't understand what's going on.
If we can't get FEMA help...
Then will you guys help us?
Will you step up and be our fellow citizen?
Will you step up and be our neighbor and send us something?
Help us.
Help us get our community back.
I could go on.
It's just heartbreaking.
I appreciate you.
You watching this?
My son is great.
No, he sounds like a real leader.
One more time, one more time, one more time.
I rode the bridge and sent in my proof that it's fixed and everything.
It's just, it's been a nightmare, and I totally feel like that we have been forgotten.
If it had not been for our fellow American citizens who stepped up to help us, I don't know what we would have done.
I have five neighbors around me who completely lost everything.
You know, I have damage to my house, and I feel, I don't feel entitled.
I'm embarrassed to even say I need help.
Because, you know, and sometimes there's even that survivor's guilt is what they're calling it.
But you feel guilty to even be alive sometimes.
Wow.
You look around, you see your neighbors that are gone.
And it's just, you know, we need help.
I wrote a letter to send to Congress.
You know, I don't understand what's going on.
Good.
If we can't get FEMA help, then will you guys help us?
Will you step up and be our fellow citizen?
Will you step up and be our neighbor and send us something?
Help us.
Help us get our community back.
I could go on.
It's just heartbreaking.
I appreciate it.
Look at this.
Look, look, look.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
And your son must be great.
My son is great.
No, he sounds like a real leader.
I don't want to hear anything about Melania being cold and this and all that.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
This is, believe me, this is not, this isn't some photo op.
This is real.
Imagine what they think.
And if you notice, these people aren't starstruck.
They're relieved.
Like the cavalry's coming.
How would you have been if he didn't come and get you?
I don't know.
I just would have been there until, because the only thing we could do, there were no way to get out there.
The only thing we could do is just to pack up to the church.
The first church that was up there, about three miles, just to get, you know, maybe what we needed for some time.
He is.
Thank you.
Again, thank you very much, everybody.
So we're going to be here.
We're going to be working with our congressmen and women.
And they're going to do a job, and Michael Watley's going to be very much in charge, and you'll get it done.
Isn't that something?
What do you have to say about that?
What's your reaction?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me your take on this.
What do you feel?
What does that, what does that make you feel like?
Imagine you were doing like a, a focus group.
I'm just asking you, tell me what you think.
You're asking, what did you think about Trump?
What did you think about, how can anybody look at what he's done and not, how can anybody look at what he's done and what he's said and somehow think, dismiss it?
Because you know these disgusting people are going to find fault with it or they'll mock it or they'll...
I don't know.
They'll find something wrong with it because you know how these people are.
But how can you look at this and not say how proud you are of him?
How can you not be proud of this man?
That's the thing which I find so fascinating.
How do you think?
How can anybody do that?
I've always been, like I've told you, I've always been fascinated when people are really speaking the truth.
It maybe goes back to, sometimes people will testify, sometimes in court, sometimes somebody will say something, sometimes there'll be a...
I'm not trying to make everything sound court-related, but some people are better.
This was so perfect.
You could not have...
You could not have...
Conveyed it any better.
And what they said, by the way, wasn't particularly...
I mean, there were some...
And this is going to sound really terrible.
There were sometimes there were some words that were used incorrectly and it made it seem...
More real.
Does that make sense to you?
It's almost like when somebody is doing something, sometimes if you had somebody who spoke in a stentorian speech, there's something about this.
I've got to tell you something.
This is the part which I've got to say, and I will say repeatedly.
When the president does something well, and he does it well, and he really does it well, I'm going to be the first one to say it, first one to admit it.
But I think there's something else which is more important here.
What's the most interesting about all of this, to me at least, is that for a guy that they say is so awkward, you know how they say he's awkward?
He tweets.
He's crude.
He doesn't say he said these terrible things.
He's a convicted felon.
When he gets the chance to show you something, there is a humanity.
Did you pick up on it?
There's a humanity, the likes of which you can't put into words.
It's like, oh my god.
Did you see this?
Did you feel this?
Did you know this?
Does anybody think he was there just for...
Let me just go.
Come on, Melania.
Let's go and pretend like we give a damn.
Anybody think when?
This is the guy.
One of the things which is the most important.
It's the difference to follow this.
See if I can explain this.
Not that you won't understand, but I hope my precision is up to...
Speed today.
There are people who want to be president and people who want to be president.
Somebody might say, I want to be president because I just want to have my name up there and I want to get my, you know, my stuff and I want to get my, okay, fine.
Other people will say, no, I want to be the president where I can act like the president, where I can help people, where I can be the hero.
Where they can look up to me, where I can do something, where they will look at me as their hero, their savior.
He wants to do that.
There are other people, and certainly, well, Biden was just out of his mind, but I don't think, by example, I never felt Obama...
Really wanted to do that.
I told you about this story of Lyndon Johnson.
How he went there.
And these black folks were in a church or something.
And it had...
The water was...
Hurricanes don't get...
1965 I think it was.
Anyway.
Hale Boggs and Russell Long said, you've got to come and do this.
And these black churchgoers...
We're trying to fill sandbags or do something and the lights are off.
And all of a sudden you see this flashlight and you hear this voice.
And I paraphrase something like, this is Lyndon Johnson.
I'm your president and I'm here to help.
And these folks said, you know, that sounds a lot like...
And it was.
And they freaked out.
Look at this David says.
President is boots on the ground.
This is the most incredible thing in the world.
He absolutely, positively is superb.
And don't expect anybody on the left to understand this because I don't think they have any feelings.
I know that's a pretty tough statement, but they don't have any feelings.
Let me also tell you what he did.
Watch this.
This is when he puts personal stuff aside.
We'll start with our first lady.
She wanted to be here because of North Carolina, and then I said, well, you can do that, but you're going to have to come to California, too.
She said, that's okay.
And we've got to fix that one up, too.
Do you ever see anything like that one?
Who would have thought that could have happened?
I also, I want to say this enough.
You can take all of your vogue and all your stuff and all your funny nonsense and you can throw it away.
She probably looks more elegant in that outfit doing something than anything else.
In fact, if she ever does, if Anna Wintour, I don't think it's ever going to happen, would ever ask her, would you like to appear?
She should say, yes, I want to wear what I wore because I've never felt more important and beautiful and powerful than I did then.
How many of you right now, listen to me, how many of you cried?
Be honest with me.
How many of you cried just now?
I'm serious.
You don't have to say it.
How many of you cried?
How many of you just, and how many of you said, why didn't I see this?
Why didn't I see this?
Why didn't I see it?
You know how, you don't have to cry, but you felt this.
Did you feel this?
That's the thing that humans do.
It's empathy.
It's not sympathy, but it's like, I know what you're feeling, but I feel it.
You're empathic.
You're not just saying, you know, I dig what you're...
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You're saying...
How do I say this?
You're feeling it.
And when you see something, This is how you are not a psychopath.
And I mean this in the best way.
Your head, you're watching this.
You don't know these people.
You don't know these people.
You've seen this before you.
But your heart, your head and your heart are connected.
I can't say it enough.
Your head and your heart are connected.
And that's the thing.
Which is the most beautiful about this.
When you can look at them and you can say, oh.
When a little child looks and sees another baby crying and says, oh, what's the matter?
That's the best.
This is when we're at our best.
This is when we're at our best.
And all of the people, I hate to say this, but I'm going to say it, on the, not all the left, but the radical left type, so one with the purple hair and the studs and all this stuff, who talk about DEI and diversity and equality and inclusion and all these highfalutin ideas, when it comes to feeling the pain of others, they don't have it.
They're almost psychopathic.
They don't have it.
The head, that's what a psychopath is.
It doesn't mean you're a killer.
It means your head and your heart are not connected.
They're not connected.
You see something and it makes no connection.
None.
There's no...
That's what it is.
Let me tell you something.
I think Debbie said the best.
Debbie Schoen said.
I cried.
I was so proud to be an American.
I haven't felt that in a long time.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
That's the most beautiful thing in the world.
I have not felt proud.
We have not.
And you know what?
Let me just also, I don't want to read for you, Debbie, but I think what's happening too, believe it or not, for the longest time, we said, being an American is not just waving a flag.
It's not just, yeah, that's okay.
But it's that heart.
It's that empathy part.
Cut Up Chatter wrote, this is not dull.
It is heady to watch.
Trump!
I hope he gets all them companies in check.
I like that, Brad.
Why he won.
He fits in and really cares about them.
Absolutely.
Cut Up says the world celebrates relevance and saves lives.
Lori says J. Sixer claimed Chinese Americans supported them during their persecution.
Wow!
Wow!
How about that?
Lori says, I'm proud of being American.
Yep.
Why didn't we ever see or hear any of this?
Absolutely.
Bob D, thank you, Bob D. Brad says, he's the real deal, best president we will ever see.
Trump's election, I think, the dam finally broke for the American people.
Years of lives and corruption.
The final straw was the last administration.
Andrew could not have said it better.
Therese Pollard said, a leader that cares for the people.
Wow.
Karen Peterson says they're both back as seasoned president and first lady.
Bless them.
Brad Rung says showed real tears when I watched him sign the J6 pardon.
Yep.
This is something which is...
And you know what's also interesting?
They don't get it.
That's the part which is the most fascinating.
These people don't get it.
They don't know what the hell you're talking about.
What do you mean they don't like Trump?
They don't like anything about Trump.
They don't like his attitude, his toughness.
I don't know.
How can you not?
It's the most incredible thing I've ever seen in my life.
How can you not do this?
Let me explain.
You don't understand this about me.
I'm not schmaltzy.
I am very hard on people.
I am telling you.
And while everybody thinks, oh, everybody's so great, more often than not, I'm saying, I don't see it that way.
And then I've seen it been the opposite.
I'm thinking, no, no, no, that's genuine.
No, it's not.
No, no, that's genuine.
It was so funny, we were talking about acting.
And an actor, you're watching the role, do you believe it?
Or is that good acting?
If you call it good acting, it's not good acting because you know it's acting.
Do you believe it?
And I've always believed that there's this thing about us, deep down inside, this sense of real decency.
Tonight, by the way, I put ICE arrest dangerous Haitian gang members, other people who, these horrible people.
And the reason why I think we wanted them gone It's not because we're mean, but because they hurt this country.
Look at these people, and look at that terrible Haitian man who came in and screamed and yelled, and look at those people.
This past administration let in the worst people, and we kept saying, why are you doing this?
And they laughed at us.
And they're still Fighting.
The real emphasis of these people is not in trying to recoup.
You would think the governor of Illinois would say, we're going to send our...
No, he was more interested in providing legal services for people who were violating and breaking the law.
Linda Haslund says, you cannot buy or pretend empathy.
He also met with Samaritan's Purse today.
Yep.
And he also, I think that was Franklin Graham, I think, was that?
But he also, when he met, and this is to his credit, you know deep down inside he cannot stand Gavin Newsom.
But they kind of embraced because he recognized that's the governor of California.
And I'm the president of the United States.
And I'm speaking to him as a representative of the people of California.
That was different.
Now listen to this one.
You may not have heard this one today.
Let me play this for you and let me ask you what this means.
You ready?
Watch this.
In the history of California, I think, has anything bigger than that happened in the whole country ever?
It looks like, I don't want to say what it looks like, but you know what I'm going to say.
It looks like something hit it.
And we won't talk about what hit it, but it is a bad, bad situation.
The biggest in the history of California.
What does this mean?
Has anything bigger than that happened in the whole country, ever?
It looks like, I don't want to say what it looks like.
I don't want to say what it looks like.
You know what I'm going to say.
It looks like something hit it.
Something hit it.
And we won't talk about what hit it, but it is a bad, bad situation.
What do you think that meant?
Do you think if you sat down with the President, and you said, Mr. President, I represent a number of Americans, and we are called conspiracy theorists.
And the reason why is because we have this terrible tendency not to believe the first line of shite that is handed to us.
How much do you want to bet the president would say, I know exactly?
Do you think there could be any president who would know better?
Than this president?
As to what lawfare is, and deep state, and shadow government?
Do you think there is anybody, anybody, who would understand better?
That today, I liked President Trump.
I think it's wonderful.
I...
If I could have been...
Physically, any place.
I would not want to be at the ball.
That's a fine.
I would not want to be...
Do you know the story behind those balls?
First of all, you've got to get invited.
You've got to pay.
They had to walk miles because of the configuration of these...
Safety consideration and the security.
There were no Ubers and people were walking like in high heels and freezing.
And then there was no place to sit down.
Sometimes there was no food.
You know what?
I have no interest.
I would have loved to have been there.
I would have loved.
Wouldn't you just wouldn't you just And not be there just to observe.
I don't want to, you know, gawk at these people.
But to be there and say, what can I do?
What is it that we can do?
What is it that we can do?
America is this really funky...
Let me tell you something.
9-11.
When 9-11 happened, what I remember was that all of these places downtown All of the restaurants, the best, the best places, did nothing but feed first responders.
Nobody even said, let's do it.
You didn't know who they were.
They didn't have a sign like you go to a food festival and they have a sign out there that says, you know, Daniel Ballou.
No, no, no.
They just did it.
And then, one night, For 9-11, I heard, I'll never forget this, I think it was Chuck Scarborough, Channel 4, NBC affiliate, and he says, now here's what we need.
They don't need money or cash, but remember, this was 23, 24 years ago.
They need batteries for phones.
They actually had batteries, and there were some phones, they didn't really have iPhones, they needed batteries, water.
And this is the part that killed me.
You ready for this?
They don't have this.
Baby booties for the dogs, for the Canaver dogs and the dogs that go through the...
That killed me.
I don't know why.
That killed me.
Because they said, believe it or not, we don't have...
You can't strap a sock, but they're on these.
They're hurting them.
And the booties were perfect.
And I thought...
Who in the hell would think about this?
I remember 9-11, when you walked down the street, they had signs all over that said, have you seen this person?
I thought to myself, where are you?
What do you mean, have we seen this person?
Where would they be?
They're not walking around lost.
People were still...
Anyway, I saw the nicest, greatest people.
It was incredible.
Trump knows there is a shadow government and he cannot trust the DoD, Raytheon and others to get the true skinny.
They all have interest against truth.
He knows better than anyone.
And one of the best things he did today was canceling the security detail for that rat bastard Mike Pompeo and Fauci and everybody else.
Look, let's don't ruin this right now.
Let's don't ruin this.
How do I say this?
This The love that this man for somebody who's quote awkward he is so empathic and he loves to be president.
He loves that part.
And we went through four years of this absolutely I can't believe that we even survived that.
So, in any event, my friends, I thank you for this.
You have been absolutely without peer tonight.
Andrew and Linda and Brad and Karen and Therese Pollard and Bob D. and Cut Up Chatter and Lori Cuck, everybody.
Thank you for that.
I will tell you one thing.
I will just leave you with one.
Let's get together on February the 22nd.
Let's party at the cutting room like it's 1999.
And the tickets are available.
Let's do it.
Because it's not, it's not, uh, hey, here's a joke.
No, no, no, no.
This is different.
Because it's weird.
I see something, and unless I can respond to it with you, it's like it never happened.
Does that make any sense?
I have to be able to explain this.
Much love, Mr. L and Mrs. L. Thank you so much for that.
You have become like this weird family.
And I can't...
I don't want to just, you know, tweet it, or tweet, exit, whatever I'm supposed to do, or like it, or...
I have to tell you.
I have to share it with you.
And that's one thing that Fox News can't do, and everybody else, or CNN, or any cable news, they can't do this.
So my friends, I thank you.
I thank you.
God bless America.
God bless President Trump.
That man, I loved him, but I've never loved him like this.
Ever.
Thank you, Warren Ocasio.
I've never loved him like this.
He is just absolutely superb.
Superb.
Superb.
Oh, look at this.
Oh, look at this.
Laurie says, I'd love to come, but my dad passed away and they chose February 22nd for the celebration of life.
I'd love to be with Lionel.
Oh, thank you.
You know, it's funny.
I didn't want to say this, but today my parents died exactly on this day five years to the day.
So I've been thinking about Them did get a kick out of this.
So I know how that is.
We just, you know, it's very, very interesting.
There are great people.
There are great people.
But it's funny, isn't that wild?
Five years to the day.
So in any event, I know how that is.
And believe me, I understand how you feel.
Remember one thing about when people leave your life.
This is a part of the conveyor belt.
You know that, right?
There's no, there's no, this is not an oops.
This is a conveyor belt.
That's the way it goes.
Different transitions, different movement.
And the thing that you do is never ever, I mean, yes, feel bad, but always remember how you love them, and especially when something that they did that made you laugh.
When you can see something, you say, they love this.
They would get, that's what I do.
That's the way I think about that.
It's a very interesting thing.
Then you never lose them.
You never lose them.
Never.
They're in your heart.
It's like they're just in the next room.
Or you're on vacation or something.
You didn't call your parents every day.
You didn't see them every day.
But they were there.
You didn't see them.
You were busy doing your thing.
Many people moved away.
That's the way they are.
Just because it's object permanence.
In any event.
Have a great and a glorious day.
My friends.
God bless America.
God bless this great country.
And God bless President Trump.
We will see you tomorrow.
And until then, my friends, remember...
Please follow Mrs. L as well, too.
And we thank you for your support.
But remember, the monkey's dead.
Show's over.
Sue you.
