Thank you.
tim pool
Donald Trump will address a joint session of Congress to address the State of the Union.
Ah, I'm not calling it the State of the Union.
I'm saying he will address the State of the Union.
Apparently, it's not a State of the Union because Trump's serving a non-consecutive term, so it's supposed to be like the first address to Congress, but, you know, it's only happened one other time.
But it's going to be true that that will be up at 9 o'clock, around 9 o'clock.
Donald Trump will be speaking, and some expect him to go either an hour and a half.
It could be as long as two hours.
The way Donald Trump goes at rallies, he has a lot to say, and we're hearing that he has not prepared a substantial or, I should say, typical speech, whereas a president usually has speechwriters, teleprompters, and advisors.
Apparently, Trump has got bullet points.
Got a bit of a script, but you know how Trump goes.
He's going to go off the cuff.
He's going to speak off script quite a bit.
So it could actually be long.
Who knows?
But we do have big news.
The IRS is putting together a plan to lay off up to 45,000 staff.
I know.
When I heard that news, I was just like, anybody who doesn't cheer for that, you can't be my friend.
You get out.
Get out of here.
Because that's weird.
Okay.
Yes.
The IRS doesn't need this many people.
Let's do this.
This is great news.
Now we've got a bunch of crazy news.
According to Daily Mail, Trump is apparently, he may propose relinquishing U.S.-NATO leadership to other European nations, a move towards the U.S. potentially getting out of NATO. And then with the tariffs in play, things are getting pretty crazy.
Ontario threatens Americans saying he would cut off their electricity.
I mean, that's pretty serious because of these tariffs.
And then, of course, we have the Democrat senators producing that scripted cringe video where they all said the exact same thing.
You know, you get it.
So we'll talk about all of these things.
Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and buy Cast Brew Coffee.
We got two weeks till Christmas, despite the fact it's been over two months since Christmas, but still, Phil Labonte has got some rockin' gingerbread coffee, and he is dressed like Santa Claus.
Ian's Graphene Dream is still not in stock, but Appalachian Nights and Rise of the Birdo Jr. is, so definitely pick up some Casper coffee.
Now, we're not going to have a special episode of the Uncensored show today, but we will have a Green Room episode, which will go up, and...
You know, someone reminded me.
I can't repeat what was said, but someone reminded me about the Mike Crispy episode we did for the Green Room.

Joining us tonight to talk about this and watch Trump give his speeches, Rachel Wilson.
rachel wilson
Hello.
Thanks for having me back.
It's good to be here.
tim pool
Who are you?
What do you do?
rachel wilson
I am the wife of the venerable and much-feared Andrew Wilson.
The legend, the handsome legend himself.
I also have a book called The Cult Feminism, The Secret History of Women's Liberation, which you can find on Amazon.
And I have my own little YouTube channel.
It's just my name, Rachel Wilson.
tim pool
Right on.
Thanks for hanging out.
We got Raymond hanging out.
raymond g stanley-jr
I think you're awesome too, Rachel.
Angela as well.
rachel wilson
Of course.
raymond g stanley-jr
I am Raymond G, my friends.
I am the host of the non-existent show, Blue Collar Cast.
I look forward to hearing Trump speak.
Phil.
phil labonte
Hello, everybody.
My name is Phil Labonte.
I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band, All That Remains.
I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionist.
tim pool
I'd just like to thank President Trump for everything.
I mean, the Doge stuff, it's all great.
But particularly today, I'd like to thank him for having his joint address to Congress at 9 p.m.
so that we are able to actually cover news stories in the first hour.
Otherwise, it would just be us listening to him speak, which is fine.
But, you know, now we get to riff a little bit.
We got this story from the AP. Ladies and gentlemen, this may be some of the best news.
The only news that could be better is when they formally announce the layoff of these IRS agents.
The IRS is drafting plans to cut as much as half.
Well, there's the news.
When I first heard this, I was watching Fox News.
I think it was the 5 or something.
And they didn't seem freaked out by this.
Like, they weren't excited.
I'm like, this is the greatest thing I've heard in a very long time.
45,000 IRS agents to be laid off?
phil labonte
Yeah, and that's great.
And all these people that are getting laid off, they had the opportunity to quit and take Not a pension, but take severance that would take care of them until September.
They all could have just said, hey man, I'm out.
Now, I don't think so.
I think that there was a time limit on it.
And so, too bad, so sad.
tim pool
It's a mix of layoffs, attrition, and incentivized buyouts.
So, some people may still get paid out.
The laughs are part of the Trump admin's effort to shrink the size of the federal workforce through DOGE. You know what I love is that Republicans have been saying forever the government's too big, but they've never done anything about it.
Now Trump is like, we've got a hatchet, a hatchet man, and we're going to fire people.
phil labonte
Not only is this, not only, like your point is well stated, but not only that, but...
It's also going to change the way that Republicans behave in the future.
Because now you see that it's not just lip service.
It's not like, oh, I paid lip service, but I don't know what to do, man.
We got into office and I can't do anything.
Palms up.
I'm sorry.
And everything's the same as it always has been.
Donald Trump has demonstrated that the president has significant authority to make changes in, at the very least, the executive branch.
And the executive branch is where a massive portion of the bureaucracy is.
All of the cabinet has all, like, the lion's share of all the bureaucracy is the executive branch.
So Donald Trump has demonstrated that the president had, like...
I forget the exact phrase, but Lincoln said something like, I'm the president and I'm clothed with enormous power or something like that.
And it's true.
The president has a lot of power.
And I think that we're going to see the Supreme Court actually rule on that because there's people that are taking the firings and stuff to, you know, they're trying to use the courts to prevent the president.
And that's exactly what needs to happen.
These things need to get in front of the Supreme Court.
And I think that it's...
Highly likely that the Supreme Court is going to say, no, in Article 2, the powers that are vested in the president are not vested in a bureaucracy.
The president has the ultimate authority to fire people.
If you don't like that, that is too bad.
You can work to change the Constitution, get out there and get an amendment, but until you do that, the president has the authority to fire people.
The office of the executive actually must...
Must do what the president says.
tim pool
Look at how the AP ends the article.
The federal tax collector employs roughly 90,000 workers total across the United States, according to the latest IRS data.
People of color make up 56% of the IRS workforce, and women represent 65%.
Okay, so what I'm going to say right now is, DEI has failed.
phil labonte
Fire them up.
tim pool
When you are not reaching parity, that's what they say.
The woke say, the amount, the percentage...
Right.
Right.
Sexism.
rachel wilson
Exactly.
tim pool
So apparently the DEI has not been working.
rachel wilson
Also, I want to know, why don't we have DEI for dirty, dangerous, and difficult stuff?
Like, why isn't anybody fighting for equality in, like, trash collection or sewer treatment or, you know, the guys that have to do the power line stuff?
tim pool
I want women cleaning sewers.
rachel wilson
That's what I'm saying.
raymond g stanley-jr
We need blue-collar women.
rachel wilson
Women of color need to be out there.
tim pool
We need to get women of color cleaning sewers.
rachel wilson
Exactly.
And working on oil rigs.
Because we love them.
phil labonte
It is so frustrating.
That's a great point.
tim pool
I mean, those jobs pay well.
unidentified
They do.
tim pool
I'm totally happy.
In all seriousness...
raymond g stanley-jr
A longshore woman?
Forget about it.
tim pool
If there is a woman of color who wants to work on an oil rig and make $120K a year in a dangerous job, but she can do it, let's get that going.
Those jobs should be available, but for some reason, we're not seeing the interest.
Why is that?
Is it because we're not adequately advocating for these women to go work these dangerous jobs?
raymond g stanley-jr
Because they lie, and they're preaching, and they're just, all their words are fake and empty.
phil labonte
Everybody knows why.
It's because these jobs are hard and dangerous.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah, exactly.
phil labonte
It's because those people don't, no one wants to go and do the hard, dangerous jobs.
They want to get the cushy, easy jobs, and they want to sit there and complain and tell you that you're a bad person because they didn't get them.
It is exhausting.
tim pool
They call this air conditioner feminism.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
That's what I heard.
Yeah, the idea...
I can't remember who coined the phrase.
The idea was women are fighting for jobs where they get to be in air-conditioned, comfortable environments.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
And they never are fighting for working on oil rigs or in sewers.
phil labonte
And then they're going to bitch because you put the air conditioning on too high.
rachel wilson
Yeah.
tim pool
And that's the crazy thing because, like...
phil labonte
That's true.
tim pool
You're right.
raymond g stanley-jr
It's too cold in here.
tim pool
But the reason why it's cold is not because people hate women.
It's because men can't take their clothes off.
rachel wilson
Yeah.
tim pool
So if it's hot in an office, guys in suits are all drenched in sweat.
So they say, we gotta lower the temperature.
And then women are like, but I'm cold.
So put a sweater on.
And then they're like, that's not fair.
Why should we have to do that?
Because men can't take their clothes off.
rachel wilson
Do you ever have to be in an office for some reason?
You know, you're like...
In HR or something, and the woman there has, like, a space heater under her desk and a space heater on top of her desk, and she's got her...
They have blankets?
I go into my doctor's office, and the office ladies have blankets.
I'm like, you're bringing your blankie to work now?
tim pool
I'm fine with it.
I mean, the space heaters are expensive, right?
rachel wilson
Yeah.
tim pool
But I'm fine with a woman having a sweater or a blanket.
I'm not okay.
rachel wilson
Sweater, sure.
Like, maybe just dress yourself.
tim pool
I think blanket's fine.
Like, if the office is cold, it makes more sense that a woman puts a blanket on than all of the men have to strip down to their shorts.
raymond g stanley-jr
Agreed.
tim pool
That's insane.
It's like, one woman puts one blanket on, or 30 guys take off all their clothes.
You can have the blanket.
phil labonte
Personally, I want them uncomfortable.
raymond g stanley-jr
I sure you do, but I think this is great in the aspect of the fact that...
Republicans aren't sitting on their hands right now.
They're known for writing strongly awarded letters and sitting on their hands.
And now they're just going to go ahead.
Doge is going to fire half of them.
Or at least let them go.
tim pool
To be fair, Republicans still sit on their hands.
Trump and MAGA are very different.
rachel wilson
Aren't there still some Republicans who are upset about this, too?
Like, they really don't want the wrecking ball taken to the deep state?
phil labonte
The Bill Crystals of the world.
rachel wilson
Well, I don't know.
tim pool
He's a liberal now.
phil labonte
Has he changed parties?
tim pool
He posted in support of trans rights.
phil labonte
Oh, God, he's worse.
tim pool
So, it's an interesting...
Maybe we can talk about it in a little bit.
rachel wilson
He's the king of the swamp, in my opinion.
tim pool
It was a really interesting point.
I think Chris Ruffo made it that.
Was it Chris Ruffo?
Let me make sure I'm attributing this properly because I retweeted it.
Basically, that tons of these anti-Trump personalities said that they were taking this stance based on...
Yeah, it was Chris Ruffo.
Who said, I find it fascinating that so many of the never-Trump intellectuals initially opposed him on the ground of conservative principles, but gradually and without explanation changed all of their principles so they now oppose him on purely progressive grounds.
And it's a reference to Bill Kristol saying, stand with trans-Americans.
You don't have to understand everything about the transgender experience to know that Trump's acts of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust and dangerous.
The interesting thing about Kristol and others was that...
They had actually tweeted quite a bit against LGBTQ groups only a few years ago.
But now, they're just literally orange man bad, so we support anything the progressives are pushing.
phil labonte
It's disgusting.
rachel wilson
I think it's a risk.
tim pool
Hypocritical.
rachel wilson
I think it's one of the risks of having a form of governance that's based on dialectical tension as well.
This is why the Republican and Democrat Party at the turn of the century also kind of flipped and flopped on some things.
Because if you exist purely to oppose the other side, then if the other side does...
Because Trump was really more like a 90s liberal.
He was never some staunch conservative.
phil labonte
All of the MAGA people, the...
That are in the executive branch now, they're all former Democrats.
Tulsi, RFK, Trump.
I mean, the idea that there are some kind of really far-right conservatives...
rachel wilson
It could have been in the Bill Clinton administration.
phil labonte
There's no truth to that.
No truth to it.
The left has moved so incredibly far.
We live in, and I keep saying this regularly, we live in a leftist milieu so badly now, and we are so steeped in it, that something...
Even marginally right of center seems to the left as far-right extremists.
tim pool
But I don't think it's fair to say left anymore.
It's more so where we are, which I would describe as fairly center with some liberal leaning.
Fairly liberal in a lot of ways.
This is the, I see a problem, I want fixed party.
And the Democrats are the, I hate you party.
So that's why you can come out and, you know, the Hassan thing is a really good example.
I tweeted that Hassan got suspended, not banned.
And then he tweeted, Tim Pool defends Rick Scott.
And I'm like, okay, I didn't.
But the point is, well, sure.
But the point was, their opposition to us is not rooted in fact.
It is not rooted in policy.
It is rooted in, you are bad.
That's it.
So, fascist, Nazi, they just literally mean bad guy.
You are a bad guy.
phil labonte
And bad is just opposed to them because they can do absolutely mendacious, horrible things.
He will celebrate that he was celebrating terrorists.
He was celebrating Luigi Mangione murdering a man who done nothing wrong other than be the CEO of a business, right?
He's the CEO of a healthcare company.
And sure, the way our healthcare, or not healthcare company, health insurance company, but ensure the way that our health...
The healthcare industry and the insurance that goes along with it, it's a complete pigsty and it's a mess, I agree.
But that doesn't make it okay to just murder people because this guy doesn't like it.
But people like Hassan, the far left, they will celebrate that because they are...
They are just absolutely bad people.
rachel wilson
Tim's right.
It really doesn't have anything to do with leftism per se.
It's more just like they will bite any bullet as long as it's against you.
Ukraine.
tim pool
John Oliver.
I did a Last Week Tonight on Ukraine, and for the life of me, this is the craziest thing imaginable.
It's one thing to say, I know some friends of mine are trans, and I'm concerned about the things they're going through, and that's an emotional experience, and I'm like, okay, let's have the argument over science and the issue, blah, blah, blah.
Morality, fine.
Ukraine makes no sense.
There is not a single argument that Democrats can present, or that they have present, other than, what was it, the Budapest Agreement?
Where they're like, well, 30 years ago we said that we would defend Ukraine if Russia invaded.
And we also promised that we wouldn't expand NATO, but then we did, neither of which were approved by Congress, but that means now we have to fight.
And I'm like, okay, I'm going to pause right there.
Sure, we promised Ukraine we'd defend them.
That is not a reason to defend them.
Like, I'm saying, like, what is the logical, mathematic function of defending Ukraine?
What is gained from it?
What is the end result?
Why should we do it?
We said we would.
No, no, no, no.
Saying I said I would do it.
Does not mean you should.
Imagine, imagine this.
30 years ago, there's this cliff overlooking a beautiful lake.
And you say, I'll tell you what.
If at any time, you know, someone cuts that tree down, I will be here and I will cliff dive off this thing.
And then you show up 30 years later and the lake is barren.
It's rocks now and they go, jump.
And you go, I can't do it now.
And they're like, you said you would.
That's not a reason to do it.
The circumstances have dramatically changed.
And the argument that 30 years ago we said we'd do it, and it's like, yeah, okay, everything's completely different now.
That's not a reason.
If you come to me and say, we're going to get mineral rights, we're going to secure Ukraine, we're going to get access to a nuclear power plant or whatever, I'd be like, oh, okay, the U.S. is trying to do a thing.
No, they're just like, we have no reasons.
We like Zelensky and Trump is bad.
Okay, well, it's not a reason to be in a war.
raymond g stanley-jr
And I don't know if they even like Zelensky.
They just hate Trump.
Because he was, you know, we all know this is a fact.
Ukraine has been terrible and has been corrupt for thousands of years, for hundreds of thousands of years, and it's been in every article written, and then all of a sudden, just because Trump's like, you know what, you know, you're my favorite person in the world, and they're going to back him because of Putin.
tim pool
You know that Kiev was the capital of Russia?
raymond g stanley-jr
I did hear that.
tim pool
Very long time ago.
phil labonte
Ukrainian Rus are the actual first Russians.
tim pool
Yep, and then it moved.
And Ukraine means borderland.
raymond g stanley-jr
Good game.
Video game.
tim pool
It is.
And for the Ukrainians, they don't have the same connection to country as a lot of other people do.
Like, I don't want to completely disparage them and say that they don't have any kind of nationality.
Of course, that's not true.
But there's a big difference between...
The Ukrainians and the Russians.
I'll give you a simple example.
7 million Ukrainians fled the country.
And this is a population, it was a population of like 30, was it like 39 million at the time?
So you're looking at a massive portion of the country, you know what, 20% fleeing instantly.
And large portions refusing to fight and being forced into conscription.
It is not a deeply patriotic and nationalistic nation.
Most of the people that I spoke with when I was down there, and the sentiment that was conveyed to me.
They want to join the EU so they could leave Ukraine and go and work in Europe where they'd make more money.
These are not people who are like, the borderlands are our country we believe in.
It's like, the oligarchs who rule the country did it through force.
When the Soviet Union collapsed, they went around with guns and just took over properties.
So it doesn't have the same nationalist fervor as other countries do.
raymond g stanley-jr
It's decreased 10 million from 2021 to 2025. Yep.
10 million.
tim pool
And I believe 7 million were fled at the start of the war.
raymond g stanley-jr
6.9 to 8 million, yeah.
tim pool
Yep, fled at the start of the war.
Or because of the war.
raymond g stanley-jr
And aren't the east portion of Ukraine Russian?
Like, they side with the Russians?
rachel wilson
They're mostly, like, I think they're mostly, like, ethnically and Russian-speaking people in the eastern portion.
tim pool
As is Crimea.
Where the Russian naval base is and has been since the Soviet era.
So for Russia...
When the Soviet Union collapsed, they lost control of Ukraine for the most part, but still maintained these strategic military positions, so they were not going to let NATO come in and bring these people into the EU. Let's jump to this next story, and I will just stress, my friends, the Trump Joint Presidential Address will be starting around 9. We do have the videos queued up to go as soon as it does, but we are grabbing the news in the meantime, so smash that like button, share the show, share it on social media wherever you can, and we'll read this from the Daily Mail.
Exclusive!
Trump considers relinquishing leadership of NATO and insists UK and France take more responsibility as Starmer plans return to DC with Zelensky to present United Front on peace plan.
I mean, this right here, the first paragraph is the news.
Donald Trump is considering relinquishing its leadership role or is considering having the US relinquish its leadership role in NATO after insisting that European allies take more responsibility for the security of the continent the mail can reveal.
The US has held its leadership position since the founding of the Defense Alliance in the aftermath of World War II. Since then, the Supreme Allied Commander of Europe has always been a senior U.S. general.
But in line with the U.S.'s insistence that European allies take more responsibility for Europe's security, it also expects a British or French general to take up this position.
This is massive.
rachel wilson
Elon Musk advocated for us getting out of NATO. I have been saying for the longest time, let's get out of NATO, let's get out of the U.N., all these post-World War II... Power structures that have been around for decades.
We all know about the corruption.
We all know that they don't really do a whole lot except for collect a lot of money and do a lot of corrupt stuff with it.
And I think that this whole crony power structure kind of needs to go.
Now what replaces it?
Who knows?
Like, my theory is that this is kind of the old guard post-World War II, like the Zbigniew Brzezinski and all those guys, right, and the Bush family.
That's all going away, and it's like...
Looking to me like the technocrats are the ones that are kind of rising up and taking it over.
Not sure that that's wholesale good, but if they're going to dismantle the deep state and take out all this nonsense, there's no way that's bad.
phil labonte
I like the idea of the United States not having a leadership role, as in not being the one that's directing what the UN does.
No matter what happens, for the UN to be effective, it is still going to rely on the United States military.
There's no question about that.
So, you know, do we move to a situation where the UN will decide, oh, we want to go and have troops here and have troops there, and the US will decide maybe we do want to go, maybe we don't want to go?
I think that's fine.
That doesn't say anything about Article 5. If there's an attack on a NATO country, we're still obligated to defend them.
And I think that's okay.
But I think that the idea that the United States should have the sovereignty to decide when the U.S. is going to actually use military force and not be told what they have to do by other countries, I think that's...
A good thing for the United States.
And it doesn't change the fact that the U.S. is still going to spend probably 3-4% of our GDP on the military.
The U.S. will still make all kinds of weapons and will still sell them to the rest of allied countries or NATO countries.
There will still be...
A military-industrial complex in the United States.
We're not going to just get rid of all these companies.
Raytheon's not going to go out of business because they'll still make all those weapons.
The United States will still have access to that.
And so I don't think that it would be as much of a catastrophe as people on the left or people in the Democrat Party are going to make it out to be.
tim pool
They can't give you a reason.
Like, honestly, listen.
Democrats and liberals, there's probably only the smallest amount who could engage in the sophistry required to explain why we should maintain NATO at current pace.
rachel wilson
Yeah.
tim pool
Global order, the liberal economic order, expansionist policies, one world government, whatever, I guess.
That's an ideological goal.
I mean, honestly, if I ask somebody why should we be in NATO and this – like a Krasenstein said, well, we want dominion over the earth.
I'd be like, oh, OK.
Right, I get that.
I get that.
I disagree.
I don't think we should do that.
So, you know, I oppose that.
rachel wilson
It's okay when we do it, Tim.
tim pool
Oh, I know.
It's funny because I was talking to a liberal friend of mine recently and they were saying like, yeah, well, Russia just does whatever they want.
They take whatever they want.
They invade whoever they want.
And I was like, you're talking about the United States?
Like, you're talking about us?
That's been my existence in this country.
There's been a war every presidency.
Trump was the first president not to start one, but he still had several under his belt.
Granted, they were given to him.
And he was doing tremendous to stop those wars.
It's funny that Trump's attitude now is like, why are we involved in these wars?
It's wasting our time and money.
And the Democrats are losing their minds.
rachel wilson
Yeah, they're like, don't you dare stop the wars.
It's like, you guys were the ones 20 years ago out protesting George W. Bush and no more wars and everything.
But now...
tim pool
Yeah, but it'd be fair, when they were protesting George W. Bush, this was like, this was my wake-up call moment when I'm a teenager.
Punk rock music.
Remember, what was it?
The System of a Down had that song where the music video was all Iraq war protest stuff.
What song was that?
Do you remember?
phil labonte
It wasn't Chop Suey.
unidentified
No, no.
tim pool
It was a big one, though.
And I was like, man, like, why are we involved in this war?
And so I'm 16. I'm not marching.
I'm pissed off.
I'm like, what is going on?
I'm all angry.
And then when Obama came around, he was like, vote for me and I will expand our Middle Eastern presence.
And everybody was like, no, no, no, he doesn't mean it.
He's gonna get our troops out of Iraq.
And I was like, isn't he saying he's gonna bolster our troops in Afghanistan?
And they were like, no, listen, trust me, dude.
How old was I? Like 20?
They were like, it's gonna be different with him.
He's not some old white guy.
He's like, that's what the narrative was.
They were like, he's not supposed to be here.
He's like some guy from Chicago who got lucky.
You gotta vote for him.
And I was like, all right.
Okay, well, let's give it a shot, you know?
And then within like a few weeks, he bombed a Pakistani village of women and children.
Or he authorized a drone strike that bombed.
And I was like, hey, wait a minute.
I went back to all of these anti-war people I knew, and I said, guys, help.
Obama's bombing people.
And they went, what?
Obama's bombing people?
We've got to protest.
Not protest what?
Obama, he's bombing people.
And they were like, yeah, we don't care about that anymore.
We have moved on.
And I was like, oh, okay.
And then I was like, I didn't vote ever again.
rachel wilson
Well, and the only thing I do see them still pushing, so like earlier today, Piers Morgan had a bunch of people on time, Andrew was on there, but other people were on there trying to defend Ukraine, and what they did is something that is a very clear pattern.
I have a piece on my substack I wrote about this called Patterns in Wartime Propaganda.
You can go back to before World War I and see this same narrative every time of...
We've got to fight him over there so we don't have to fight him over here.
And they'll expand.
It's this expansionist, like, scaremongering of, he's going to take the Balkans, right?
And they've done this every single time for over a hundred years.
It's like, how many times are we going to fall for this?
tim pool
Real quick.
He's going to take the Balkans?
rachel wilson
Why should I care?
Well, I don't know.
tim pool
Is it going to make my eggs more expensive?
raymond g stanley-jr
I think the Balkans will not do anything.
tim pool
Is there Balkany's cheese that I'm going to be left out of or something?
What's gonna happen?
raymond g stanley-jr
Communism!
rachel wilson
Communism!
raymond g stanley-jr
I don't know.
tim pool
I don't like communism.
rachel wilson
They don't even really say...
tim pool
So I'm listening.
rachel wilson
They don't even really say communism anymore, but it's just like...
unidentified
I gotta be honest.
tim pool
If they said communism, I'd be more inclined to agree with them.
rachel wilson
You'd be like, tell me more.
tim pool
Yeah, if they were like, Putin is a communist, then I'd be like, really?
Prove it.
rachel wilson
Yeah.
phil labonte
I'm not so concerned.
I know Putin was a KGB guy and there are people that say, no, he is actually a communist and he would like to see the return of the Soviet Union.
I don't see that happening.
I don't think that he's going to go after any of the NATO countries because he could not even take Ukraine.
The argument that, oh...
rachel wilson
Well, had it not been for us, he would have taken...
phil labonte
No, no, but the point is, yeah, I mean, if he can't take Ukraine, right, with the rest of the world doing what they did, he's certainly not going to take on NATO. Ain't no way.
rachel wilson
He's not taking Poland.
I'm just tired of being gaslit that anybody cares about the rights of Ukrainians or democracy or any...
That's not what any of this is about.
The people who are involved in this conflict want power and resources, and it's about that.
It's not about the poor Ukrainian people and their right to sovereignty or any of that crap.
I'm so tired of hearing that because it's just not true.
tim pool
That's the annoying thing because there's just no logical reason why an American would support Ukraine.
None.
None whatsoever.
There is the simple, I feel bad for a foreign country that was invaded, but shall we go through the list of active conflicts around the globe, and then I might ask you why you don't care about anyone else?
raymond g stanley-jr
The media hasn't pushed that and beat that into their brains like they have with Ukraine.
tim pool
Oh, so they're cultists.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yes.
Yes, 100%.
rachel wilson
They love the propaganda.
raymond g stanley-jr
And I don't know why, have we, since World War II, how come?
I mean, I understand why, because I'm America, and I'm very nationalist, and let's go team.
But, like, us doing, have to take over NATO, you know, run everything, and we're like the boss babes of the world, and I'm glad that Trump and Elon, not Elon, he doesn't know what to do with this, but just Trump and, you know, JD is, like, bringing that down, like, so let's settle that, you know?
Let them be their own boss babes, see what they gotta do, and see how they fare.
If they don't fare good, Sorry.
Sucks to be you.
phil labonte
Well, I mean, look, a lot of the changes that are happening are, you know, can have significantly bad effects on the United States.
We don't want to see the US no longer being the global reserve, the dollar no longer being the global reserve currency.
Because right now, if China and Russia want to buy oil, they have to buy dollars first.
We have far too much debt as a nation to allow the rest of the world to stop.
Buying our debt.
If the dollar stops being the reserve currency, if oil stops being priced in dollars, then our debt probably goes up significantly and we can't get people to buy it anymore.
rachel wilson
Let's hope that Doge follows through on their threat to audit the Federal Reserve because that would go a long way to solving some of that.
phil labonte
Well, I'm not so sure if it would solve it.
It would give the American people more information about what actually goes on, but I don't know.
rachel wilson
If we were finding out the same things about the Federal Reserve...
I mean, I would like to see that.
phil labonte
But, you know, part of the reason why we're on...
I'm not the guy that's...
I don't back the Federal Reserve system, but if we were to just say, okay, well, we're going to move straight to a gold standard, we would have massive economic problems.
rachel wilson
The gold standard was problematic anyway, and now we should...
The Bitcoin Reserve is a great idea.
There's other ways that they could handle it.
I'm not saying that we need to go back to the gold standard.
I think there were already problems with the gold standard, but there's definitely a problem with just endless money printing and billions of dollars.
I was listening to this...
Rush Limbaugh talked about this as a kid in the early 90s, and we're still dealing with it.
phil labonte
Ron Paul was talking about it through the 90s and throughout all the aughts and stuff.
I am still a Ron Paul guy.
I think that Ron Paul's got really great ideas.
rachel wilson
I voted for him when he ran.
phil labonte
Yeah, me too.
But yeah, it's not as simple as just, oh, the U.S. should withdraw from the world, because if the U.S. withdraws from the world...
Then China and Russia do expand.
raymond g stanley-jr
I'm not saying there's no...
phil labonte
You don't want to have a vacuum of power.
rachel wilson
Well, we're already in a multipolar world, right?
China and Russia are already fairly powerful.
phil labonte
I don't think we're in as much of a multipolar world as some people think.
The United States still has such...
Incredible economic and military power.
I mean, I've watched...
I mean, this is just stuff on YouTube or on the internet and stuff.
But, like, the rest of the world, it's likely that we could take on, like, China and...
If you took out nukes, right?
You could take China and Russia.
The United States would likely be able to take China and Russia in a military conflict.
If you took out nukes.
Nukes would destroy the whole world.
There's no other individual country that's going to be able to take on China and Russia.
At all.
Even with the number of people that China has.
rachel wilson
So if China and Russia expand, what do you think would be...
How far do you think that would go and what do you think the problems would be specifically?
phil labonte
Well, I do think that China would take over the South China Sea and that would change the way that you have to do shipping routes.
Because China doesn't just look at China and Taiwan as China.
They think South Korea is China.
They think at least part of Japan is China.
And probably India.
I do believe that there are border conflicts with India currently.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
phil labonte
They can't use weapons.
raymond g stanley-jr
They've used sticks.
unidentified
Yeah.
phil labonte
So China actually does think that they have significantly more territory than the rest of the world actually agrees with.
If they were to police the South China Sea, that changes the trade routes and everything.
That has a massive effect on anything that goes through there, that gets shipped through there.
The prices change.
You have significant...
A significant change.
You have to have...
the U.S. would have to have actual infrastructure for the chips that we use now.
Granted, we have begun taking steps to do something about that, but that has to happen faster.
If they were to just change within the next two or three years, we wouldn't have the infrastructure built in the U.S. to have the semiconductors built here that we need and that would have massive effects on our economy in the military.
It'd have massive effects on all the electronics that we all use.
I think that the downstream effects...
Of China or Russia expanding and taking up a power vacuum that would be left by the United States just withdrawing.
tim pool
I think that that has significant out significant downstream outcomes that you first of all you can't actually predict Yeah, and also even and the the obvious ones are gonna would be significantly bad for the US economy and for the for the average American In the US or about a half an hour away from the Trump address But we were talking quite a bit about you know Trump's administration being Democrats and liberals moving and left going crazy So I was reminded of this video.
We're going to do a special segment here just because I pulled it up and I think it's hilarious.
This is a video from 2008, I believe.
It's called Prop 8 the Musical.
Many of you may have seen.
It's got 1.2 million views on—oh, it's 15 years ago, so it's probably—I'm pretty sure it's 2008 because Prop 8 was in 2008. So this is the liberal worldview 15 years ago, and it's only three minutes long.
I'm not going to play the full thing.
Well, I mean, we'll just play it, and then we'll talk about where Democrats were back then, what they claimed.
Without burying the lead, Basically, you have that meme where it says, if we pass gay marriage, if we enact these liberal policies, conservatives warned back then that you'd get these creepy books in schools.
And Democrats said it was not true.
It was never going to happen.
And now here we are.
So let's play some of this real quick so you guys get the context.
raymond g stanley-jr
With Jack Black and Jesse Riley.
Sure.
tim pool
Yep, absolutely.
unidentified
It's a brand new Bright Obama Day.
What a time to be black or gay.
No, nothing could go wrong.
So join us in the song of happy days for the gays.
Nothing can go wrong.
raymond g stanley-jr
Look, nobody's watching.
unidentified
It's time to spread some hate and put it in the Constitution.
Now, how?
Proposition 8. Proposition 8. Right!
People listen to our plea.
They'll teach kids about sodomy.
tim pool
So just right there, right away, it's an important context to what the liberals were saying back then and how they were lying.
It's really fascinating, right?
There's a little bit more.
Listen to how they respond.
unidentified
That wasn't right.
That's a lie.
But it worked, so we don't care.
tim pool
So it wasn't a lie, and it didn't work because they still got...
Well, I think it...
Did Prop 8 pass, or was it defeated?
It's been a long time.
rachel wilson
I think it was defeated, and then didn't the Supreme Court come in or something?
phil labonte
Yeah, it was in California, right?
California voted a very, very large margin against Prop 8. Right.
And then the Supreme Court of California came in and said, no, you can't.
So it literally went against the will of the people of California.
tim pool
I just really want to screen grab that caption where it says, that's a lie.
Because here we are now, dealing with the fallout of how, there it is, that wasn't right, that's a lie.
And it's literally what happened.
And this is a big component of the culture war.
And I was thinking about Obama.
Voting for him, what he was supposed to bring about.
Race relations got worse under Obama.
DEI's rapid expansion, further exacerbating tensions between various races.
They were wrong about everything that they claimed conservatives were lying about.
And now here we are.
Donald Trump ends up winning as a Republican with Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., Elon Musk, many others who were former Democrats, who largely believed this BS, and then sure enough, what that ended up happening is...
They put these creepy books in schools.
They started having men compete against women.
And no matter what, no matter what you say, Democrats keep defending it, despite the fact polling shows only around 18% approval for males competing against females in sports.
phil labonte
Teaching about sodomy is actually the low, low stuff.
Like, well, you know, man.
rachel wilson
It almost seems reasonable at this point compared to the rest of these.
phil labonte
Isn't it quaint that they were teaching about sodomy?
No, what they're going to do is they're going to teach your kid to chop their genitals off.
rachel wilson
Yeah.
tim pool
Could you imagine?
If they said that back then, they'd be like, okay, please stop.
You're nuts.
phil labonte
Look at Bill Maher and I forget what his name is.
tim pool
I love it.
phil labonte
No, Bill Maher had the conservative guy Prager.
Dennis Prager was on.
tim pool
Oh, right.
phil labonte
Dennis Prager was like, they're talking, they're teaching.
tim pool
They're putting tampons in the men's bathroom.
phil labonte
They're teaching that boys can menstruate.
And Bill Maher and the whole Democrat.
You know, the whole panel was like, oh, you're so silly.
tim pool
That story at the time on Bill Maher's Real Time, and this is my biggest problem with Real Time.
It is, I don't know why people go on that show, and I think it's because we have an addiction to the past.
This is why our politicians are aging.
Young people don't step up.
Stop glamorizing.
Look, with all due respect to Bill Maher, I'm not trying to be a dick, but Real Time doesn't have the ratings.
It's an old show, but people...
It's been around for 20 years.
It's the show.
I remember it.
And they don't realize.
When Prager went on that show and said they're putting tampons in the boys' bathroom, Bill Maher said, oh, that's for their girlfriends.
He said, no, they're saying men can menstruate.
Everybody laughed.
That show happened three years after the culture war issue about tampons in the men's room.
room three years so if you look at the initial reporting from all the prominent progressive outlets and corporate news outlets on the issue of tampons in the men's room that happened I think it was like 2015 and the Prager episode was 2018 Bill Maher didn't even know about a major story that was in all of the press three years prior but people keep going on shows like this and it's because of name and brand recognition it's brilliant it's masterful dude we had a vice president and a uh a president a nominee or a presidential nominee uh with Tim Walsh
raymond g stanley-jr
Who actually put them in his schools, and it was proud of that.
And the whole Democratic Party loved that fact.
It was like mainstream on their side.
tim pool
And now, Bill Maher...
We're having a conversation with a guy from Pod Save America, and he said the Democrats have to get off this gender issue, and they won't do it.
raymond g stanley-jr
No way.
tim pool
And Bill Maher was like, how many voters are you—remember that bit Bill Maher did?
Like, I gotta give him respect, because he's got a lot of good ones on this.
He said Democrats are defending the right of transgender people of color to be in the prison for which they identify their sex.
He's like, why are they courting the votes of 432 people?
This is such a niche issue.
It doesn't affect their voter bloc in any way.
The argument they come up with is because we believe in rights for everybody.
And it's like, fine, but that's a weird political stance to take where you know you're going to lose and then defend nobody's rights.
raymond g stanley-jr
I hope they keep doing it forever.
Just keep doing it, Democrats.
unidentified
Don't stop.
tim pool
Maybe that's the real deep state plan.
Democrats go insane so that Republicans win and then Republicans become the single-party authoritarian government.
raymond g stanley-jr
Count me in.
tim pool
Well, I guess.
phil labonte
I mean, like...
raymond g stanley-jr
I'm kidding.
phil labonte
We do live in a leftist milieu and it is really bad that to try to do anything right of center gets you plastered as a, you know, a Nazi or a fascist or whatever.
But if that keeps up, you're going to have...
Because right now, young people are not afraid of the word fascist anymore.
rachel wilson
There's a pretty long list of words they're not afraid of that will always get you cancelled words, and they say them for fun now.
raymond g stanley-jr
It's fun.
I have nephews who are young 20-year-old men.
rachel wilson
It's the new punk rock to say the same thing.
tim pool
It's actually pretty wild.
California literally voted in 2008 that marriage was only valid if it was between a man and a woman.
phil labonte
And the Supreme Court overruled their democracy.
raymond g stanley-jr
But it was the California Supreme Court.
Just to get it right, the California Supreme Court said that.
I'm looking at it right now.
rachel wilson
Yeah, it was the California Supreme Court.
But it's like when Elon Musk gets hired to do doge, they're like, unelected officials, unelected officials, right?
But it's never applied evenly.
They always just...
Make up the rules as they go, and whatever is politically expedient is just what they go with.
tim pool
So in 2024, finally, they repealed Proposition 8. Isn't that crazy?
It's been so long, but only now they finally got rid of it.
California was very much like traditional marriage.
And at the time, Obama opposed gay marriage, and Hillary Clinton opposed gay marriage in 2016. The really far-left stuff is not popular.
phil labonte
It's just not.
Do you see the way that people are reacting to, like, men and women's bathrooms, the idea that gender's a social construct and it doesn't matter, you know, your sex doesn't matter and you can actually become the other sex.
Like, all that stuff, normal people reject it totally.
And the people that don't, the only reason they don't is because they're afraid of the consequences.
tim pool
So, you all may have heard, I had a kid recently.
unidentified
Oh.
raymond g stanley-jr
Did you?
tim pool
Yeah, apparently nobody knew.
raymond g stanley-jr
Congratulations.
tim pool
And I was in the maternity ward, and postpartum is what it's called, right?
So it's like two different, it's like labor and postpartum.
And not a single instance of gender ideology was anywhere.
rachel wilson
Yay!
tim pool
On the walls, and this is Loudoun County, right?
This is like the heart of the deep state.
On the walls, they had big things saying, it's a boy, girl.
On the walls in every room, they could write boy or girl.
All the forms said boy or girl.
Like, there was not an instance anywhere of gender ideology.
I asked one of the nurses.
I was like, you ever get anybody in here who says, like, don't gender my baby or anything?
And they're like, no, never.
Not once.
rachel wilson
Nobody's in there calling it their they-by.
unidentified
Nope.
rachel wilson
This is my they-by.
raymond g stanley-jr
No men gave birth in that place?
unidentified
Nope.
tim pool
They said we never see anything like that.
And they're like, I don't know, like, I've heard stuff about it, but we've never seen anything like that.
Like, everyday women are coming in and they're having children, and it's just like a normal couple.
The woman gives birth, they said, it's a boy, and they're like, yay, and then here's what you gotta do, go home.
But I was told by one of the nurses that in college, the college requires them to learn it all.
All the non-binary.
And then as soon as they get into the practice, it's gone.
And I'm like, yeah, for now, though, hopefully with Trump getting in and these moves, it never actually permeates.
But I got to tell you, it would be nuts if I went in and they were like, do you believe in gender?
And I'd be like, why are you asking?
raymond g stanley-jr
Gender revealed at the age of 16 party.
tim pool
Yeah.
raymond g stanley-jr
On the wall of posters.
tim pool
But that was the joke that I made that I kept insisting to the doctor.
He said it was a girl.
And I was like, no, they haven't chosen their gender yet.
raymond g stanley-jr
That is reassuring.
tim pool
Some of my liberal friends got mad and they were like, that you would use your daughter for the culture war.
You can't do that.
And I was like, I can joke about whatever.
rachel wilson
I can and I will.
tim pool
Yeah, I'm making a joke, but get out of here.
unidentified
Come on.
phil labonte
I mean, the whole question of, oh, you know, do you believe in gender?
I've said this multiple times on the show.
I don't even want to hear the word gender anymore.
It's just sex.
That's all there is.
Everything else is just garbage.
tim pool
It means same thing.
I reject this, but gender means something.
Nope, stop.
Gender and sex mean the same thing.
Go away.
All right, we're going to talk about this next story.
That's from the New York Times.
Canada and China retaliate against U.S. tariffs, which Trudeau derides as dumb.
I would play the video for you, but I can't stand hearing Justin Trudeau speak because he sounds like someone's gripping his balls and twisting them.
He talks like this.
And I'm like, no, stop.
So, yeah, they're retaliating.
But I don't really care that much about what Trudeau has to say.
Because it's frail and weak.
He did this whole speech where he's like, this one is to the American people.
They are screwing you over, your government.
And I'm like, quiet, I voted for this.
phil labonte
You sound like you're doing a South Park character.
tim pool
That's how he talks.
unidentified
He sounds like a South Park.
tim pool
Yeah.
rachel wilson
He sounds like the Canadians from South Park.
tim pool
Trudeau sounds like someone's, you know, got him by the balls.
And he's like...
So anyway, here's the story that actually I think is real interesting is that the Ontario PM has threatened Americans who rely on the Canadian grid with cutting off their electricity.
raymond g stanley-jr
Scumbag.
tim pool
Yo, that's interesting because that's going to result in death.
We're talking about like 1.5 million people.
You've got to estimate there's some elderly and diabetics in there.
You can't just cut off their electricity like that.
He's saying he's going to do it.
This is where we're at with the tariffs.
And you had a Warren Buffett.
I think it was Buffett, right?
He said tariffs are an act of war sometimes.
phil labonte
Yeah.
tim pool
Oh, yeah.
People are getting real salty about their free trade garbage.
But at the same time, UAW is backing Trump's tariffs.
rachel wilson
Nice.
tim pool
So, let's go.
What do you guys think?
phil labonte
So, I don't know.
UAW is the United Auto Workers, right?
Yeah, I mean, look.
Generally, I think tariffs are bad, or I have thought tariffs are bad.
When Trump has used them as leverage, that's been, it's seemed to work successfully in a few cases.
I'm not 100% sure what he's trying to do here.
Because it seems like what he's trying to do is incentivize American companies to build, or incentivize companies to build things in the U.S. And I don't know if that's a smart use of tariffs.
rachel wilson
I was reading this earlier, and you can fact check me if we're not sure, but I believe, so Canada has a bunch of tariffs on our stuff, and it's like 45% or something like that on cars, so I could see why the UAW would be in favor of having a bit of a tariff war, because it's, what Trump's been saying since 2016 was that it's just very unfair.
It's super skewed.
It's not really free trade if everybody else is allowed to put tariffs on us, but we're not allowed to put tariffs on them, correct?
phil labonte
Yeah, I mean, that does make sense, but I'm a little, I guess, apprehensive about if it's going to work.
rachel wilson
Well, stuff's going to change.
I mean, transition periods sometimes are painful in the short term, but is it...
Smart to just keep going with the status quo when it doesn't make any sense and we're kind of being ripped off and everybody gets to take advantage of the United States.
We have to pay for everything.
We have to pay for NATO. We have to pay for the UN. Everybody can slap tariffs on us, but if we do it, like, oh, we've got to be really careful.
I don't know.
I think it's time to...
tim pool
They did have a...
There was a number of tariffs from Canada in, like, 2018. There was steel, aluminum, whiskey, toilet paper, maple syrup, yogurt, coffee, prepared...
Maple syrup!
rachel wilson
How dare they?
tim pool
Protectionism, Canada.
Protectionism much?
And then dairy and agriculture stuff, but most of the tariffs were actually as a part of ongoing trade war stuff.
So right now, Canada's got a tariff on U.S. orange juice, peanut butter, wine, spirits, beer, coffee.
unidentified
Uh-oh.
tim pool
Uh-oh.
I guess Casper can't be selling it to Canadians anymore.
Uh-oh.
Appliances, apparel and footwear, motorcycles, cosmetics, certain pulp and paper products.
Well, it's going to affect people individually, and that does suck.
I mean, if you own a paper company and you're like, uh-oh, we're losing Canadian customers, I understand it's bad.
In the big picture of the United States, no more freebies, Canada.
No more freebies.
raymond g stanley-jr
I just think that he's Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
That's his name.
Doug Ford.
He said, yo, he literally said.
phil labonte
He said, where's the coke at, right?
raymond g stanley-jr
He probably did.
But he said, if they want to annihilate Ontario, I will do everything, including cut off their energy with a smile on my face.
So he wants to cut off the energy with a smile on his face.
This guy sounds like a terrible, I'm not going to swear, terrible, disgusting human being to cut off energy with a smile on his face because he has some kind of make-believe beef with Donald Trump.
F that guy.
phil labonte
That is like the point of this.
This is all, you know, we're going to do this because we don't like Donald Trump.
This is all about personal grievance with Donald Trump.
rachel wilson
And I think all these entrenched, like this power structure is so entrenched and the people who are getting so much out of it, of course they don't want to change.
And of course they're going to fight back tooth and nail because you're taking away their...
They're a little grift here that they have going on.
We all know that members of Congress are making inordinate amounts of money compared to what their salary is supposed to be.
This power structure is old.
And all these people are behind closed doors.
They're all on the same team and they're all getting the deal.
And Trump's kind of coming in and going, I don't think so.
tim pool
The infrastructure that's been built over the past 20 or 30 years has been in to grow the Canadian and Mexican economies to stabilize the North American economic bloc.
So what you end up with is – go back to the 90s and it was like $3 to $4 for a Canadian to one US dollar.
And pesos were worse than that.
Now it's getting closer to – pesos are still a little bad, but Canadian dollars are now close to the US dollar.
Because what happened is through these free trade deals, we gave up all of our manufacturing base and raw materials to Canada.
We get lumber from Canada.
We have trees.
We can make regrowth for us and grow our own trees.
And so he has the nerve to come out and say that we're going to lose access to these important goods.
And I'm like, well, we only lost access because scumbags in our government sold out the American working class, outsourcing all of these jobs.
Outsourcing has been a big scandal the entire time, and they hope you just die, roll over, or forget about it.
People retire, they lost their jobs, and now Canada's mad because they're going to go back to where they were.
They're a very small economy.
They should not be as big as they are, but we give them our labor.
unidentified
You subsidize them.
tim pool
Exactly.
No more freebies.
rachel wilson
It's a little bit personal for me.
Growing up in a small rural town in Michigan in the 80s and 90s, I watched my hometown die as a result of NAFTA. Our whole economy was farmland, and then in the town, we had a GM plant that made parts.
They passed NAFTA. It closed down.
The whole town started to die off.
You know, the people who are still there were there because they're stuck.
They were too poor to get out.
And so drugs come in and crime comes in.
It just destroyed people's lives.
tim pool
I saw this video where they put Chris Farley and David Spade from Tommy Boy into Shark Tank.
raymond g stanley-jr
I saw that.
unidentified
Saw that one?
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah, it was hilarious.
tim pool
And it's like they're trying to sell the brake pads to the sharks and the sharks don't want it.
I got an idea, okay?
Maybe someone out there can do this.
You need to take scenes from Tommy Boy.
You know what Tommy Boy is, right?
rachel wilson
Yeah.
tim pool
Of course.
raymond g stanley-jr
We're all Americans.
tim pool
If you don't, Chris Farley, David Spade in the 90s, and they have to go.
So Chris Farley's dad dies, and he's this great salesman for the Callahan Auto Parts.
raymond g stanley-jr
He's paint shit.
That's right.
tim pool
The whole town relies on this one auto factory.
All the jobs are there, and if that plant closes, the town will collapse.
Chris Farley's dad dies.
He's Tommy.
So he goes off trying to sell brake pads so that he can get enough orders to keep the plant open, and he struggles and learns along the way, whatever.
Someone needs to go in and use AI to change it to NAFTA and Bill Clinton signing a deal, and then the plant closing down and reopening in Mexico with a bunch of just, like, outsourced labor.
And be like, there you go, Tommy Boy.
So here's the edit I'd like to see.
He succeeds in selling the brake pads.
They go, yay!
And then the next year, he looks at it, he's like, everyone's canceled on us.
Why?
Or how about this?
He goes to sell, and instead of any of these joke scenes where he tries to convince them, they say, why buy from you when I can buy from Mexico for a dollar less?
unidentified
Buy!
tim pool
And then the plant goes out of business, everyone loses their job, and the final scene is everybody's homeless.
rachel wilson
Yeah, there you go.
raymond g stanley-jr
And it's cold up in Canada.
You need homes, you need walls, so you better do right by us.
phil labonte
I mean, like I said, I've got some people that are actually tweeting at me to the list of the things that are under tariffed or that are tariffed by Canada.
And it's actually, it looks fairly egregious.
270% for milk, I think it was.
Milk is...
Canada imposes tariffs on U.S. goods.
Dairy products, milk 270%, cheese 245%, butter 298%, poultry 238%, eggs 163%, barley 160%, wheat 94%, sugar 265%, peanut butter 295%, rice 150%, vegetables 100%, fish products 100%, lumber 20%, shoes 30%.
If this is true, now again, this is just someone sent this on Twitter, so it could be wrong.
Someone could be making a joke out of me or whatever.
But I mean, if that's the case, I don't see how Canada's in any position to actually behave as if they're...
rachel wilson
In other words, Phil, they don't have the cards.
They don't have the cards.
They don't have any cards.
We've got the cards.
raymond g stanley-jr
Get used to hands.
phil labonte
Yeah, she was doing it.
She was doing it.
tim pool
Oh yeah, they grow peanuts up there.
It's like protectionists.
Check out this clip from Brian Cranston.
It says, Scenes from Ontario, Canada.
Making America great again by making the world hate us and not buy from us.
This is American liquor produced in red states that has been ordered to be taken off the shelves across Ontario.
Yo, I don't think he realizes.
I laughed my ass off when I saw this video.
unidentified
Watch.
phil labonte
You've already paid for it, you idiots.
unidentified
Look.
tim pool
So it's just, there comes all, what brand is that?
Can you tell?
Is that?
unidentified
Bullet.
tim pool
Bullet?
raymond g stanley-jr
It doesn't hurt.
tim pool
I was like, dude, there's no tariff on it.
You have it already.
You can sell it.
They're like, oh yeah, we'll show you.
We'll take all the stuff we own and get rid of it.
And it's like, okay, that doesn't faze me.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah, I hate selling it to you twice.
We're gonna lose money.
phil labonte
Just for spite?
rachel wilson
Like, was it just for spite?
tim pool
It's for the video.
phil labonte
It's totally all for spite.
And that's the point.
Like, this is all...
None of this is actually doing anything.
This is all performative, and it's all for spite.
And if the tariff issue is settled in three days, the company that bought those is out the booze.
They have to buy more of the booze because the tariffs are gone and their customers are going to come in and be like, yeah, I like that.
Where is it?
How come I can't get it anymore?
Well, the whole tariff, and they'll be like...
The tariff thing's over, man.
That stopped.
rachel wilson
I think this would work.
I think that Trump's tariff war would work, and I think it would work so well.
It'd be the best tariff war you've ever seen.
And the reason they're so screaming, they're doing their work, is because it will work.
And then he's going to look awesome, and they're going to be blown out.
phil labonte
Of course, I do hope that it works, because I want to see good things happen to the U.S. So, right now...
tim pool
For the Trump joint address to the joint session of Congress, they are just introducing, I believe, the Supreme Court justices.
They're coming in to take their seats.
Not a whole lot right now going on.
I believe the White House is scheduled for 9, 10 p.m.
And previous speeches by Trump have been estimated around 80 minutes.
So then we will just sit here and stare at the screen and enjoy ourselves.
But be careful.
Don't fall asleep.
I know that Donald Trump has a soothing voice which may lull you into a beautiful and comfortable rest.
phil labonte
What was that?
What did you say?
tim pool
I said be careful not to fall asleep because I know Trump has a beautiful voice which will lull you into a peaceful rest.
unidentified
Some people say probably it's the best voice you've ever heard.
tim pool
I just have a long...
I basically used the AI voice generator to have Donald Trump read me Harry Potter to sleep every night.
unidentified
So I just put on my headphones.
You're a wizard Harry, Hagrid said, and Harry was like, whoa.
tim pool
I'm kidding, I don't do that.
I actually, you know what, as an aside as we wait for Trump, so I have this thing called a sleep sanity.
And as you know, Phil knows, deep sleep is the most important for muscle regeneration.
And if you keep waking up and you're not getting your deep sleep, you're going to be fatigued.
Your muscles ain't going to be working right.
So I've been trying to figure out how to get the most deep sleep I can.
So I bought this thing.
It's a headband.
You put it on.
And you Bluetooth it.
It's got a program that, as you're going to bed, orange lights light up around the visor.
And the visor dims.
So that stimulates melatonin production.
And then you can have it play white noise.
But it only plays the white noise for like 20 minutes.
So I've been trying it.
It really did improve my sleep.
But then the other day...
It turns off after 20 minutes, so if you're not already asleep or you wake up, it's off.
And then I'm like, okay, so what I did was, it's a Bluetooth headset, so I just turned on 10 hours of thunderstorms, put it to max volume.
Yeah, I got two hours of deep sleep.
phil labonte
Usually we do a white noise through, from Spotify has like a white noise thing that just goes all night long.
tim pool
So like, what kind of white noise?
Have you heard a green noise?
phil labonte
I've heard that there are...
rachel wilson
I've got one that's...
I've got an app that's got, like, brown noise, violet noise, white noise, yeah.
tim pool
I'm not...
raymond g stanley-jr
I've seen the TikTok videos about...
phil labonte
Brown noise is dangerous.
rachel wilson
I don't put that one on, but...
tim pool
Brown noise!
rachel wilson
You know what I always do?
I just end up putting on a fan.
I'm old school, I guess.
phil labonte
Fans do work.
Fans do work.
raymond g stanley-jr
I just sleep.
I don't need noise.
tim pool
But you may not...
See, here's the thing, right?
Oh, yeah, I mean, Phil, because you've been doing music for so long.
raymond g stanley-jr
Oh, fair.
tim pool
Here's the thing, though.
You might be getting really bad sleep and not realize it.
raymond g stanley-jr
Oh, I wake up all the effin' frickin' time.
rachel wilson
Yeah, try some white noise.
tim pool
So I got my watch that tracks it.
I got my bed.
I got the Sleep 8 bed that Luke recommended.
And it tracks.
Like, the Sleep 8 bed is crazy.
It shows the whole night.
I don't know how it does it.
It's amazing.
And it's like, here's when you woke up.
Here's when you fell asleep.
Here's when you were in REM. Here's where light sleep.
Here's deep sleep.
It tracks it all.
rachel wilson
Mine does that, and it does heart rate and respiratory rate and all that.
tim pool
Your watch or your bed?
rachel wilson
My watch.
tim pool
Oh, yeah.
My bed does it.
rachel wilson
Oh.
tim pool
Yeah, it's weird.
And it also...
You know, it's crazy.
So Luke recommended this bed to me a while ago because it's got this little machine.
You put water in it, and then it can use the water to cool and heat the bed.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
rachel wilson
I've seen those.
tim pool
Yeah, it's super cool.
And I've been sleeping on this for so long, I totally forgot what it was like to wake up too hot.
raymond g stanley-jr
Dude.
tim pool
And so then, like, the past weekend, I fell asleep on the couch, like, watching movies or whatever.
I woke up super hot.
And then I had to, like, throw the blanket off and be like, whoa, I haven't experienced that in so long because the bed cools as you're getting too hot so you don't wake up.
It's crazy.
Super awesome.
raymond g stanley-jr
Sounds awesome.
Maybe it might be a Christmas gift to all the employees for folks who sleep out there.
tim pool
$3,000 sleep.
raymond g stanley-jr
Oh, is that what it is?
tim pool
I think the mattress covers a couple hundred bucks.
I hope you all are enjoying the patter as we currently wait for Trump to come to the...
raymond g stanley-jr
You have expectations, Tim, in everyone.
tim pool
I think that Trump is going to walk up, he's going to look at everybody, and then he's going to have his...
Bright, holy glow as he levitates in front of everybody, and then he casts a beam of light over all of the evildoers, and they instantly get vaporized, and...
unidentified
I think he's gonna be...
tim pool
All the demons.
rachel wilson
I think he's gonna be bold, and he's gonna go for it because of what just happened with Zelensky.
I think he's just done taking crap, and he's just gonna...
Because it's a hostile room, right?
I mean, not fully, but at least half the room, if not more.
tim pool
Do you think they're gonna wiggle the egg cartons like they said they were?
raymond g stanley-jr
I hope so.
rachel wilson
I hope they wear their white suits and wiggle their stupid egg cartons.
They'll be like, look, no eggs!
It'll be the group of the women.
What do they call them?
The squad?
And they really don't have eggs because they're past their prime and then we can make fun of them.
phil labonte
Remember how the left and the Democrats behaved when someone called Barack Obama a liar?
That was big news, and it was such a break of decorum, etc., etc.
Now they're literally talking about, openly talking about heckling the president with props and everything.
rachel wilson
You think Elon will come in and start doing his weird...
Tism dance?
raymond g stanley-jr
His heart's going to come out to everyone.
His heart's out to everyone.
rachel wilson
He's going to come in and riz him with the tism.
raymond g stanley-jr
He is there!
phil labonte
Riz him with the tism.
Alright.
There we go.
raymond g stanley-jr
It's a new song.
tim pool
I don't think Elon's actually autistic.
rachel wilson
I don't either.
He's just...
When he is a little bit awkward, that's what everybody likes to say.
I think that Gen Z just calls any slight awkwardness autism now.
phil labonte
He said that he's on the spectrum.
He said that he's on the spectrum.
rachel wilson
What's written on...
Okay, what's she got all over her stupid...
tim pool
14th Amendment.
phil labonte
Oh god, that's Maisie Hirono.
She's literally, she's about as bad as you can get.
She's just absolutely awful.
tim pool
I would say that she is dumb as a box of rocks, but I don't want to insult rocks.
rachel wilson
Is she as dumb as Maxine Waters?
unidentified
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
rachel wilson
Okay, I was just checking.
tim pool
That was over the line.
rachel wilson
They're right...
phil labonte
We're going to have to, like, neck and neck, Rachel.
Neck and neck.
Really?
Yeah, absolutely.
Did you know that Maxine Waters is alleged to have funneled a million dollars to her daughter through campaign funding?
rachel wilson
I completely believe that.
unidentified
There can't be any other reason for her to be there.
tim pool
So a lot of the news that we didn't get to today, Lee Zeldin uncovering EPA schemes.
The Biden administration was sending millions of dollars to fake non-profits.
raymond g stanley-jr
Shocker.
tim pool
Non-profits that had only like $100 in the books were getting millions of dollars.
Doge found a child shelter that was completely empty getting $18 million per month.
unidentified
What?
raymond g stanley-jr
Is that the one I heard like a billion a year and there's an empty facility?
tim pool
Yep.
Alright, we got Melania.
unidentified
Melania Trump is hot.
rachel wilson
That's amazing.
unidentified
Yeah, she is.
She's beautiful.
raymond g stanley-jr
She's got great clothes on.
rachel wilson
I love her.
tim pool
She should be arriving any minute.
raymond g stanley-jr
Oh, yeah?
unidentified
Yeah, she was just there.
Mr. Speaker, the President's Cabinet.
phil labonte
Hey, let's go!
unidentified
Who's that lady?
I don't know.
Michael E. V.
Mr. Bessick.
I know most of the cabinets out there.
I've never known all the Catholic people in the zoo.
tim pool
Pan Bondi?
unidentified
It's still crazy when you hear that Pan Bondi is like 60 years old.
phil labonte
Like unreal.
unidentified
Botox is a beautiful man.
tim pool
Do you think it's worth it?
unidentified
100%.
It's not possible in human nature.
tim pool
I like to believe in the power of fitness.
rachel wilson
It helps.
tim pool
Maybe she eats that Power Beats or whatever that Dana Lash sells.
unidentified
Maybe.
phil labonte
RFK, he does look like he's wearing a human mask.
unidentified
He kind of does.
tim pool
The worm has taken over.
rachel wilson
Made by Jim Bob just did a cartoon of him that is so funny.
It's so good.
The drawing is just so perfect.
Totally nailed it.
phil labonte
It's hilarious.
tim pool
Oh, look at Schiff.
phil labonte
Oh, Schiff is garbage.
It's hilarious that Pete Hegseth is the sec def.
I back him.
I think that he's going to do a good job, and I like the fact that he wasn't a general.
I think he was a major.
I love the stuff that he did when he was PTing with the troops.
The guys love him.
The average rank-and-file military dudes really respect him.
tim pool
That was Zeldin.
rachel wilson
Oh, no.
phil labonte
Oh, Kristi Noem took off the plate carrier.
tim pool
Good job.
rachel wilson
Now, she's done way too much.
unidentified
Yeah.
rachel wilson
She's done way too much.
You look at a picture of her from 10 years ago, it doesn't even look like the same person.
And then when she was doing the fully glammed out promo videos in the outfits, I was like...
phil labonte
She did another one.
Just yesterday, I saw a picture of her.
She's all done up with a carrier.
raymond g stanley-jr
Nice beanie on.
rachel wilson
I was posting to X. I was like...
Homeland Security, Barbie, comes with the border security playset.
tim pool
We're getting ready for the arrival of President Donald Trump, so smash that like button if you could.
Comments.
Get involved.
Be active.
Don't just be a passive listener.
Join in the fun and comments and share the show right now as Donald Trump is about to speak.
And we're going to hear what he has to say about the State of the Union.
It's not a State of the Union.
It's a joint address to Congress, okay?
Or it's an address to Congress in joint session.
rachel wilson
It's going to be a state of the world, basically.
tim pool
And then I think we're actually going to switch to the official White House player, which is about to start when it does.
But for now, we have this from WFAA. It's just people coming in and schmoozing.
RFK juniors are looking around kind of awkwardly.
rachel wilson
Is he actually now pushing the MMR vaccine or not?
He is.
tim pool
He issued an op-ed in Fox News saying, guys, you need to get vaccinated.
I've been telling people.
They were lying about him being anti-vax.
He's always been moderate.
Like, we interviewed the guy, and he was like, vaccines are great.
We gotta have proper testing on all of these things.
We shouldn't rush things out.
And I was like, okay.
And then the media was like, he hates and wants to get rid of vaccines.
And I'm like, that's not gonna happen.
He is now as HHS secretary.
Telling people, please get vaccinated.
phil labonte
Look, and even if he's like, oh, you know, you shouldn't get these or I don't like these or whatever, he's not going to, like, make vaccines illegal.
rachel wilson
Right, right.
phil labonte
You can still go ahead and get all the vaccines you want.
Like, it's literally just people are going to be given the options.
tim pool
I do hope he bans pharmaceutical commercials, though.
That would be great.
However, however, that FanApt commercial, have you ever seen that one?
I love that commercial.
It's on Fox News.
It's like an anime commercial.
rachel wilson
That's the only ads they have now.
tim pool
Oh, I know.
It's all drugs.
rachel wilson
Pharmaceutical ads.
tim pool
Like GLP-1 or whatever.
But the Phenapt one is this, like, German woman, I guess.
And it's like, the commercial, I love it so much.
It's this blonde woman who, like, goes to her job and she sees, like, an elderly couple laughing and she smiles.
And then, like, she's closing up shop and her boyfriend shows up but she lost her key or something.
And the whole time this weird, like, hokey little family-friendly thing is.
What's going on?
It's like, Pheneptis for people who are suffering bipolar disorder, and it may cause sudden stroke or death.
It prolongs the QT interview, which has been associated with heart arrhythmia and sudden death.
And it's like, it's listing all of these insane side effects of how it will literally...
It may.
It may.
And it's been associated with literally killing people, and then like the...
It's just like some woman's smiling and the guy's like, oh, they're hugging.
rachel wilson
I love the herpes and the AIDS medication.
I love herpes and AIDS. Everyone knows.
The commercials for those are, it's just like people having the time of their life with herpes, right?
It's like they're on this awesome date and they're having a picnic.
Everything is hilarious.
They're just laughing the whole time, smiling, and it's like, ask your doctor if Valtrex is right for you.
phil labonte
I haven't had an outbreak in three years.
tim pool
So, the funny thing is, like, look, man, I don't know what it's like to have bipolar 1 disorder or whatever.
I'm not going to rag on that.
Maybe people really are like, I would risk death to get a medication for this.
That's fine.
I just think it's really funny that, like, the side effects are, it's like, it will prolong the QT interval, which is associated with heart arrhythmia and sudden death.
Or, you know, elderly are increased risk of death and stroke.
And then I'm just like, jeez, man.
unidentified
But...
tim pool
I laugh when I see that, and I'm like, I don't know, man.
Look, if you get prescribed a medicine, you need it.
That's fine.
But was it GLP-1, or what is it?
phil labonte
GLP-1s.
tim pool
It's like these commercials of morbidly obese people.
And here's the craziest thing to me about Ozempic and stuff.
So you mean to tell me you have the willpower to inject yourself with a drug every day, but not the willpower to not eat that extra scoop of ice cream?
That's nuts to me.
raymond g stanley-jr
Someone seems to put a needle in your body then.
tim pool
I disagree.
That's crazy to me.
rachel wilson
Aren't those once a week?
tim pool
Are they once a week?
rachel wilson
I think they're once a week.
tim pool
Either way, like injecting yourself instead of just being like, maybe I won't eat?
Look, let me tell you.
Let me give you a shot.
You're at a restaurant and somebody says, you want a slice of pizza?
No.
raymond g stanley-jr
No is not an option, bro.
tim pool
Save myself some money there.
raymond g stanley-jr
No, they can't say no, but they can say yes to a shot.
tim pool
I mean, when people are handing you Taco Bell left and right, that I understand.
Because if somebody came up and offered me a cheesy gordita crunch right now, I'm taking it.
There's no no to that.
phil labonte
In my opinion, there are legitimate times where GLP-1s and stuff like that are good.
It's definitely not good for everybody.
It's definitely not necessary for people that are looking to lose 15-20 pounds.
tim pool
Not all, but a lot of depression.
Just go for a walk.
That's not a joke.
unidentified
The exercise will help.
tim pool
Fix that problem.
Go for it, like, start exercising.
But you've got all these people who are very sick and overweight, and they're like, I don't know what's wrong with any drugs, and it's like, dude, it's because you're eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch by the full box every breakfast, and you don't exercise at all, so your hormones are out of whack, you're full of carbohydrates with no proteins, eat a steak, have some broccoli, or maybe a chicken breast if you don't want to do the red meat, and just start walking.
First of all, talk to your doctor, because some people have, like, serious...
Maybe you need medication.
rachel wilson
Some of them get so far gone down that road that they need significant help getting back to the point where they can even do physical activity, which is pretty horrible.
tim pool
I hope he bans those commercials, man.
raymond g stanley-jr

There's nothing like watching someone getting better and expending and improving themselves and making themselves healthy.
Who does not love seeing that?
tim pool
I love watching the videos where it's like a guy's fat and then he's like three months later.
raymond g stanley-jr
Oh yeah, dude.
Forget about it.
tim pool
That's what you gotta do, man.
Protein.
unidentified
Hell yeah.
tim pool
That's right.
rachel wilson
I've been doing the whole protein and weightlifting thing since 2008 and it's not...
I don't look like some fitness model or anything, but it literally has gotten me through the worst things I've been through in life.
phil labonte
You need juice for that.
rachel wilson
Better than therapy.
You know, like way better.
raymond g stanley-jr
Like the real juice?
phil labonte
Yeah.
No, like steroids.
You want to hook me up?
raymond g stanley-jr
I meant the real juice.
rachel wilson
You hook me up, Phil?
phil labonte
No, but the whole, like, people that are on stage for fitness and stuff, they're all on.
rachel wilson
Is it?
tim pool
Is Trump here?
raymond g stanley-jr
Is HGH different?
rachel wilson
Who's this guy?
phil labonte
Yes, HGH is not here.
Mr. Speaker, the President of the United States!
raymond g stanley-jr
Thank you.
unidentified
Let's go!
tim pool
All right, let's see if we can...
unidentified
Yep, still.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Whoa, my bad.
tim pool
We're switching over to the White House player.
So, it looks like...
The White House player looks crusty.
Yeah, the resolution is much worse.
But it's the official White House feed, so...
Maybe it'll improve in a second.
Otherwise, we gotta switch back, I guess.
Is it very quiet?
unidentified
It looks like it's clearing up.
raymond g stanley-jr
A little bit.
tim pool
Seems very quiet.
unidentified
There it goes.
raymond g stanley-jr
There's Bobert.
tim pool
It's a who's who in the political world.
Look at all those Democrats.
raymond g stanley-jr
There's a Virchip, too.
tim pool
Who's that Wendy Adams looking lady down there by Maisie Verano?
phil labonte
I have no idea.
tim pool
Wendy Adams.
phil labonte
That might not be Maisie Verano.
unidentified
Wednesday.
Sorry, Wednesday Adams.
tim pool
Wednesday, Wendy.
rachel wilson
You know what?
I like Trump's hair today.
It's extra.
I'm digging it.
phil labonte
Isn't it always the same?
rachel wilson
It's...
The same, but, you know, it varies.
Look at how silvery it glows like a halo.
tim pool
He's looking good.
Look at him.
rachel wilson
He looks nice.
tim pool
He's lost weight.
Remember, didn't he say he weighed 215?
unidentified
He lied.
Oh, dude, of course he did.
tim pool
He's 6'5", isn't he?
Or 6'3"?
unidentified
I think he's like 6'3".
tim pool
Yeah.
He's 6'3", and I'm like, that dude is not 215.
Nobody believed it.
unidentified
Is that Mace?
Thank you.
raymond g stanley-jr
It looks like Nancy Mace.
tim pool
Look at Ship right there.
raymond g stanley-jr
Come on, shake Ship's hand.
Remember the bean in the jacket in the back of the head growing up?
unidentified
Give him a little bean.
tim pool
I know what he's thinking.
rachel wilson
Look at the glorious swoop.
phil labonte
Nancy Mace is very single.
tim pool
I've been at events where you're walking through and there's some guy you don't want to talk to because you hate and you're just like, I'm going to look the other way.
Keep facing to the right.
Act like I didn't see him.
phil labonte
None of the Democrats even want to look.
raymond g stanley-jr
Schumer.
Schumer's scooping him out side-eyed.
tim pool
Hey, there we go.
It was on auto.
It's still a crummy resolution, to be honest.
Look at Schumer.
Don't look up, Schumer.
Just don't move, otherwise Trump can't see motion.
I mean, Trump can only see motion.
raymond g stanley-jr
He's no peripheral.
rachel wilson
He's like a T-Rex.
tim pool
Yeah, we're good, man.
raymond g stanley-jr
All right.
tim pool
Okay, well, it's going to be a late night.
unidentified
It's all right.
tim pool
So the White House had it scheduled for 9.10.
The media reported at 9 o'clock.
And now here we are, it's 9.16, and we are going to be blessed by the words of this humble leader.
Humble.
rachel wilson
The most humble ever.
raymond g stanley-jr
Everyone says so.
rachel wilson
Everyone says so.
phil labonte
I'm going to say the most humble ever.
tim pool
At least that's what I've been told.
rachel wilson
Probably, maybe.
unidentified
There are people that have a problem with him talking to the Supreme Court justices.
phil labonte
You can hear him complaining now.
rachel wilson
Every time I see Brett Kavanaugh's face in my head, I just hear, I like beer.
tim pool
Who is that?
Retiree?
I can't tell which...
I think that's one of the retired ones.
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool
The world didn't exist prior to 2016. Like, everything came into existence the moment Trump was elected.
unidentified
All the Democrats are like...
rachel wilson
You should get him to start chanting.
Fight, fight.
unidentified
All right.
Let's go.
tim pool
Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to watch the president give his speech.
Smash the like button, share the show, get everybody in the country to listen to Trump.
unidentified
Oh, he's got his phone number available.
phil labonte
Text President Trump.
raymond g stanley-jr
Donate today.
tim pool
What if he's like answering texts?
One second, he's like, John said, what's up?
- What's up, what's up, John? - In Vance, a great VP?
Most of the VPs throughout my life have just been nothing.
rachel wilson
I have to say he has exceeded my expectations.
unidentified
Absolutely.
raymond g stanley-jr
He talks so well.
And with aggression.
I mean, assertiveness.
Which I love.
rachel wilson
Did you see the meme of emo J.D. Vance?
It says, I chime in with a haven't you people ever heard of him?
Goddamn more.
raymond g stanley-jr
And they think that's a diss on him, but we love it.
rachel wilson
It's so great.
I said that to my kids and they had the nerve to tell me it wasn't funny.
I was like, you're grounded.
phil labonte
Your kids are wrong.
And also, that song's a great song.
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
Alright.
tim pool
Let's roll.
Yeah, that clapping right in the microphone.
How about that?
phil labonte
Right?
tim pool
They're clapping right.
Oh, I think it's Mike Johnson.
phil labonte
Come on, Don.
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, it was Mike Johnson clapping right into his microphone.
donald j trump
Speaker Johnson, Vice President Vance, the First Lady of the United States.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah, yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
Okay.
You might be the hottest first lady, I think.
rachel wilson
Oh, yeah.
For sure.
unidentified
Easy.
Easy.
tim pool
What about the show?
unidentified
Hello.
donald j trump
Members of the United States Congress, thank you very much.
And to my fellow citizens, America is back.
unidentified
It's so dumb all the Democrats are just sitting there grim-faced.
phil labonte
No, it's not.
unidentified
Johnny's only 55.
Oh, wow.
I'm not five years older than me.
phil labonte
She was born in 1970.
unidentified
April of 1970.
rachel wilson
She's only 10 years older than me.
donald j trump
Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the Golden Age of America.
From that moment on, it has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country.
We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplished in four years or eight years.
and we are just getting started.
unidentified
Let's go!
I'm going to be excited.
Thank you.
donald j trump
I return to this chamber tonight to report that America's momentum is back, our spirit is back, our pride is back, our confidence is back, and the American dream is surging bigger and better than ever before.
unidentified
Thank you.
donald j trump
The American dream is unstoppable, and our country is on the verge of a comeback.
The likes of which the world has never witnessed and perhaps will never witness again.
There's never been anything like it.
The presidential election of November 5th was a mandate like has not been seen in many decades.
We won all seven swing states, giving us an electoral college victory of 312 votes.
phil labonte
Mandatory, kissing his own butt.
unidentified
He's the greatest ever.
donald j trump
We won the popular vote by big numbers and won counties in our country.
phil labonte
Already, huh?
rachel wilson
Do you see him look at him?
unidentified
Look at that.
Look, what's his face?
donald j trump
Sit down, Kane.
unidentified
What's his name?
raymond g stanley-jr
Kane McGee?
unidentified
No.
I'm forgetting his name.
Come on.
raymond g stanley-jr
I can't see the back of his head.
unidentified
Sergeant of Arms should start taking Congress people out if they're going to interrupt.
donald j trump
And what counties in our country, 2,700 to 525, on a map that reads almost completely red for Republican.
tim pool
He pointed at the Democrats.
donald j trump
Now, for the first time in modern history, more Americans believe that our country is headed in the right direction than the wrong direction.
In fact, it's an astonishing record.
27-point swing, the most ever.
tim pool
Al Green.
Yeah, I forgot his name.
phil labonte
Oh, is that the guy that's going to do the impeachment?
tim pool
He's waving his cane at Trump.
donald j trump
Likewise, small business optimism saw its single largest one-month gain ever recorded.
unidentified
A 41-point jump.
raymond g stanley-jr
These people, really?
Come on now.
unidentified
This is crazy.
I've never seen this.
Members are directed to uphold and maintain decorum in the House and to cease any further disruptions.
Wow.
That's your warning.
phil labonte
Whoa, call the Sergeant at Arms right now.
donald j trump
Has this happened?
unidentified
Has this happened?
I've never seen this.
And the chair is prepared to direct the Sergeant at Arms to restore order to the joint session.
Get him out.
phil labonte
Get him out.
tim pool
Nothing like this happened in any of his addresses before.
I don't think I've ever seen anything like this.
raymond g stanley-jr
Never.
phil labonte
Well, the Democrats have nothing.
unidentified
Right.
phil labonte
Like, they have nothing.
raymond g stanley-jr
No favorability.
phil labonte
All the stuff he's saying.
tim pool
They're going to throw him out.
He wants to get him out.
phil labonte
Yeah, he does.
raymond g stanley-jr
They're going to look good on TV for their cultists.
unidentified
Take your seat, sir.
Take your seat.
phil labonte
Get him out.
Sergeant of Arms.
Remove him.
unidentified
Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concerted disruption of proper decorum, the chair now directs the sergeant at arms to restore order.
Remove this gentleman from the chamber.
Oh, hey!
Yeah!
Whoa!
tim pool
This is crazy!
unidentified
Let's go.
raymond g stanley-jr
We're not only taking on the world, we'll take it on the Dems.
unidentified
Let's go.
rachel wilson
Who else wants some?
Anybody else?
phil labonte
This is what you want, clown shoes.
unidentified
Yeah.
raymond g stanley-jr
I did see his shoes earlier.
They kind of look weird.
rachel wilson
Take your Willy Wonka cane and do a little somersault on the way out.
phil labonte
Get him out.
raymond g stanley-jr
Just take him.
phil labonte
Get him out!
raymond g stanley-jr
We've got a speech to give.
rachel wilson
This is nuts.
I've never seen anything like that happen.
unidentified
Members are directed to uphold and maintain decorum in the House.
Mr. President, you continue.
donald j trump
Thank you.
unidentified
Wow.
donald j trump
Over the past six weeks, I have signed nearly 100 executive orders and taken more than 400 executive actions, a record.
To restore common sense, safety, optimism, and wealth all across our wonderful land.
The people elected me to do the job, and I'm doing it.
unidentified
Thank you.
donald j trump
In fact, it has been stated by many that the first month of our presidency, it's our presidency, is the most successful in the history of our nation. - By many.
tim pool
He's trying, Democrats angry.
phil labonte
Good.
rachel wilson
They will never make me hate him.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah, they've earned it too.
donald j trump
And what makes it even more impressive is that...
Do you know who number two is?
George Washington.
How about that?
unidentified
I don't know about that list, but we'll take it.
donald j trump
Within hours of taking the oath of office, I declared a national emergency on our southern border, and I deployed the U.S. military and border patrol to repel the invasion of our country.
And what a job they've done.
As a result...
Illegal border crossings last month were by far the lowest ever recorded.
Ever.
rachel wilson
Yes.
unidentified
Wow.
That's a big win.
raymond g stanley-jr
It was only 800. Amazing.
unidentified
Yeah.
rachel wilson
And we were always told it wasn't possible.
unidentified
They lied.
tim pool
From this angle, I think it looks great.
donald j trump
They heard my words and they chose not to come.
Much easier that way.
In comparison, under Joe Biden, the worst president in American history, there were hundreds of thousands of illegal crossings a month, and virtually all of them, including murderers, drug dealers, gang members, and people from mental institutions and insane asylums, were released into our country.
Who would want to do that?
This is my fifth such speech to Congress.
And once again, I look at the Democrats in front of me and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud.
Nothing I can do.
I could find a cure to the most devastating disease, a disease that would wipe out entire nations.
phil labonte
This is actually good.
unidentified
It's so good.
donald j trump
Or announce the answers to the greatest economy in history.
raymond g stanley-jr
He's on spot.
donald j trump
Or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded.
And these people sitting right here will not clap, will not stand, and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements.
They won't do it, no matter what.
Five times I've been up here.
raymond g stanley-jr
He's so on point.
donald j trump
It's very sad.
And it just shouldn't be this way.
rachel wilson
He's right.
Shame on them.
unidentified
They're cultists.
False.
phil labonte
Musk steals?
tim pool
Like what?
unidentified
What?
phil labonte
Clowns.
donald j trump
So Democrats sitting before me, for just this one night, why not join us in celebrating so many incredible wins for America?
For the good of our nation, let's work together and let's truly make America great again.
raymond g stanley-jr
And all of them.
unidentified
That's nice.
tim pool
He should bring up an issue that Democrats have to agree on and then say, stand if you agree that this is a good thing, and then when they don't...
donald j trump
Every day my administration is fighting to deliver the change America needs to bring a future that America deserves, and we're doing it.
This is a time for big dreams and bold action.
Upon taking office, I imposed an immediate freeze on all federal hiring, a freeze on all new federal regulations, and a freeze on all foreign aid.
I terminated the ridiculous Green News scam.
I withdrew from the unfair Paris Climate Accord.
Which was costing us trillions of dollars that other countries were not paying.
I withdrew from the Corrupt World Health Organization.
rachel wilson
Another huge win.
donald j trump
And I also withdrew from the Anti-American U.N. Human Rights Council.
We ended all of Biden's environmental restrictions that were making our country far less safe and totally unaffordable.
And importantly, we ended the last administration's insane electric vehicle mandate, saving our autoworkers and companies from economic destruction.
unidentified
Awesome.
It would be impossible to get to reach that point in five years.
donald j trump
To unshackle our economy, I have directed that for every one new regulation, 10 old regulations must be eliminated, just like I did in my very successful first time.
phil labonte
I would love to see that.
Hopefully that actually does materialize.
rachel wilson
Another thing Republicans have been promising for my whole lifetime.
donald j trump
And in that first term, we set records on ending unnecessary rules and regulations like no other president had done before.
We ordered all federal workers to return to the office.
They will either show up for work in person or be removed from their job.
phil labonte
The more regulations they get rid of, the more likely it is that the economy recovers significantly and you have serious...
donald j trump
And we have ended weaponized government where, as an example, a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent, like me.
How did that work out?
Not too good.
unidentified
Not too good.
Yeah.
phil labonte
It was a complete failure by him.
unidentified
Wow, man.
It was wild.
I think I called it when I said he was going to come out balls swinging.
raymond g stanley-jr
Like on the back of the pickup truck.
donald j trump
And I have stopped all government censorship and brought back free speech in America.
It's back.
And two days ago, I signed an order making English the official language of the United States of America.
unidentified
I just want to say I was bringing that point up.
A few times before Donald Trump actually did it.
I renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.
raymond g stanley-jr
I said it four years ago.
unidentified
I had to explain to someone this is the North American continent.
donald j trump
I renamed for a great president, William McKinley, Mount McKinley again.
tim pool
They were telling me, but Mexico has more coastline of it.
I said, it's the North American continent.
unidentified
The Gulf of the Americas.
tim pool
The Gulf of America.
raymond g stanley-jr
In South America.
donald j trump
We've ended the tyranny of so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion policies all across the entire federal government and indeed the private sector and our military.
unidentified
All right.
Thank God.
donald j trump
And our country will be woke no longer.
raymond g stanley-jr
There we go.
Are they crying yet?
donald j trump
We believe that whether you are a doctor, an accountant, a lawyer, or an air traffic controller, you should be hired and promoted based on skill and competence, not race or gender.
Very important.
unidentified
Amen.
donald j trump
You should be hired based on merit.
And the Supreme Court, in a brave and very powerful decision, has allowed us to do so.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
We have removed the poison of critical race theory from our public schools, and they signed an order making it the Official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.
rachel wilson
Another great...
tim pool
Try explaining that line to someone ten years ago.
unidentified
I know.
raymond g stanley-jr
And you know, regular dance love that, too.
unidentified
All my people I know, they don't know 5,000 genders at all.
donald j trump
I also signed an executive order to ban men from playing in women's sports.
unidentified
Yes.
raymond g stanley-jr
Which is another regular middle person.
rachel wilson
Now, are the female Democrats going to stand up for that?
unidentified
No.
Of course not.
tim pool
They were protesting.
raymond g stanley-jr
They voted against him, too.
unidentified
Yeah.
donald j trump
They're stupid.
Three years ago, Peyton McNabb was an all-star high school athlete, one of the best, preparing for a future in college sports.
But when her girls' volleyball match was invaded by a male, he smashed the ball so hard.
In Peyton's face, causing traumatic brain injury, partially paralyzing her right side, and ending her athletic career.
It was a shot like she's never seen before.
She's never seen anything like it.
Peyton is here tonight in the gallery, and Peyton, from now on, schools will kick the men off the girls' team, or they will lose all federal funding.
unidentified
Let's go.
raymond g stanley-jr
I didn't know she got hurt that bad.
tim pool
Yeah, she was partially paralyzed.
unidentified
Holy moly.
That video went mad viral where she got banned.
raymond g stanley-jr
Screamed out.
unidentified
I want them to show the Democrats.
rachel wilson
Oh, they stayed seated.
donald j trump
If you really want to see numbers, just take a look at what happened in the women's boxing, weightlifting, track and field, swimming, or cycling, where a male recently finished a long-distance race five hours and 14 minutes ahead of a woman for a new record by five hours.
Broke the record by five hours.
phil labonte
Five hours?
donald j trump
And it's very bad for our country.
We're not going to put up with it any longer.
phil labonte
That can't be real.
unidentified
What race was that?
We had a dude do the triple jump by eight feet.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
tim pool
No, I think the triple jump was way more than that because it's three jumps.
The long jump, I think, was eight feet.
raymond g stanley-jr
That's crazy.
donald j trump
What I have just described is only a small fraction of the common-sense revolution that is now, because of us, sweeping the entire world.
Common sense has become a common theme, and we will never go back.
Never.
Never gonna let that happen.
Among my very highest priorities is to rescue our economy and get dramatic and immediate relief to working families.
As you know, we inherited from the last administration an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare.
Their policies drove up energy prices, pushed up grocery costs, and drove the necessities of life out of reach for millions and millions of Americans.
Americans have never had anything like it.
We suffered the worst inflation in 48 years, but perhaps even in the history of our country, they're not sure.
As president, I'm fighting every day to reverse this damage and make America affordable again.
unidentified
It'll take some time.
And I'm okay with that.
donald j trump
Joe Biden especially let the price of eggs get out of control.
unidentified
Ha ha ha!
donald j trump
The egg price is out of control.
And we're working hard to get it back down.
Secretary, do a good job on that.
You inherited a total mess from the previous administration.
Do a good job.
A major focus of our fight to defeat inflation is rapidly reducing the cost of energy.
The previous administration cut the number of new oil and gas leases by 95%, slowed pipeline construction to a halt, and closed more than 100 power plants.
We are opening up many of those power plants right now.
raymond g stanley-jr
I've seen a big decrease in gas.
rachel wilson
I didn't know it was that bad.
That's insane.
unidentified
And frankly, we have never...
donald j trump
Seen anything like it.
That's why on my first day in office, I declared a national energy emergency.
unidentified
I mean, well, what does that mean?
donald j trump
As you've heard me say many times, we have more liquid gold under our feet than any nation on Earth, and by far.
And now, I fully authorize the most talented team ever assembled to go and get it.
It's called...
Drill, baby, drill.
unidentified
We need Postal and Daniel Turner to take him up to Alaska.
donald j trump
My administration is also working on a gigantic natural gas pipeline in Alaska, among the largest in the world, where Japan, South Korea, among the largest in the world, where Japan, South Korea, and other nations want to be our partner with investments of trillions of dollars each.
There's never been anything like that one.
It will be truly spectacular.
It's all set to go.
The permitting is gotten.
And later this week, I will also take historic action to dramatically expand production of critical minerals and rare earths here in the USA. Nice.
unidentified
That's going to go a big way to help them with the whole China problem.
Making their own batteries.
donald j trump
To further combat inflation, we will not only be reducing the cost of energy, but will be ending the flagrant waste of taxpayer dollars.
And to that end, I have created the brand new Department of Government Efficiency.
unidentified
Goge.
Perhaps you've heard of it.
Perhaps.
phil labonte
It's so ridiculous.
unidentified
I love it.
I do too.
You know, Elon said he got it from someone on the internet.
donald j trump
Which is headed by Elon Musk, who is in the gallery tonight.
unidentified
What's up?
phil labonte
That's a much better idea.
unidentified
better salute yeah than his heart going elsewhere yeah don't send your heart out thank you He's working very hard.
donald j trump
He didn't need this.
He didn't need this.
Thank you very much.
We appreciate it.
Everybody here, even this side, appreciates it, I believe.
They just don't want to admit that.
Just listen to some of the appalling waste we have already identified.
$22 billion from HHS to provide free housing and cars for illegal aliens.
$45 million for diversity, equity, and inclusion scholarships in Burma.
$40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary...
Migrants.
Nobody knows what that is.
raymond g stanley-jr
I was just about to ask what that meant.
donald j trump
$8 million to promote LGBTQI plus in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of.
$60 million for indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in Central America.
$60 million.
$8 million for making mice.
Transgender.
raymond g stanley-jr
This is real.
donald j trump
$32 million for a left-wing propaganda operation in Moldova.
$10 million for male circumcision in Mozambique.
$20 million for the Arab Sesame Street in the Middle East.
It's a program.
$20 million for a program.
$1.9 billion to recently created decarbonization of Homes Committee.
Headed up, and we know she's involved just at the last moment the money was passed over by a woman named Stacey Abrams.
A $3.5 million consulting contract for lavish fish monitoring.
$1.5 million for voter confidence in Liberia.
$14 million for social cohesion in Maui.
$59 million for illegal alien hotel rooms in New York City.
unidentified
Of course.
donald j trump
He's a real estate developer.
He's done very well.
$250,000 to increase vegan local climate action innovation in Zambia.
unidentified
Vegan?
donald j trump
$42 million for social and behavior change in Uganda.
$14 million for improving public procurement in Serbia.
$47 million for improving learning outcomes in Asia.
Asia's doing very well with learning.
We know what we're doing.
We could use it ourselves.
And $101 million for DEI contracts at the Department of Education.
The most ever paid, nothing even like it.
Under the Trump administration, all of these scams, and they're far worse, but I didn't think it was appropriate to talk about that.
They're so bad.
Many more have been found out and exposed and swiftly terminated by a group of very intelligent, mostly young people, headed up by Elon, and we appreciate it.
We found hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud.
rachel wilson
Now, why on earth you would not applaud for finding hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer fraud?
Why would people re-elect you?
unidentified
Just like he said.
rachel wilson
Why are you voting for these Democrats who don't want your fraudulent tax money back?
donald j trump
And we've taken back the money and reduced our debt to fight inflation and other things.
Taking back a lot of that money.
We got it just in time.
This is just the beginning.
Uh-oh.
The government accountability office, federal government office, has estimated annual fraud of over $500 billion in our nation.
unidentified
Wow.
donald j trump
And we are working very hard to stop it.
We're going to.
We're also identifying shocking levels of incompetence and probable fraud in the social security program for our seniors, and that our seniors and people that we love rely on.
Believe it or not, government databases list 4.7 million Social Security members from people aged 100 to 109 years old.
It lists 3.6 million people from ages 110. The 119. I would believe the 109. I know some people are rather elderly, but not quite that elderly.
I mean, I'm getting the 100. 3.47 million people from ages 120 to 129. Okay, well that would I get.
3.9 million people from ages 130 to 139. Wow.
unidentified
Oh my god.
donald j trump
3.5 million people.
From ages 140 to 149. And money is being paid to many of them.
And we're searching right now.
unidentified
In fact, Pam, good luck.
donald j trump
You're going to find it.
But a lot of money is paid out to people because it just keeps getting paid and paid and nobody does.
And it really hurts.
Social Security, it hurts our country.
1.3 million people from ages 150 to 159 and over 130,000 people, according to the Social Security databases, are age over 160 years old.
rachel wilson
That's like from before it began.
donald j trump
We have a healthier country than I thought, Bobby.
unidentified
It's like the movie Dune.
You need spice to live longer.
rachel wilson
So he's just telling the American people that we've been being robbed blind this whole time.
tim pool
The Democrats aren't clapping because they're like, oh crap, we've been caught.
raymond g stanley-jr
They're nephew of a nephew.

Including, to finish, 1,039 people between the ages of 220 and 229. Wait, you're still going?
One person between the age of 240 and 249. And one person is listed at 360 years of age.

donald j trump
More than 100 years older than our country.

What's the gold?
donald j trump
We're going to find out where that money's going, and it's not going to be pretty.
By slashing all of the fraud, waste, and theft we can find, we will defeat inflation, bring down mortgage rates, lower car payments and grocery prices, protect our seniors, and put more money in the pockets of American families.
rachel wilson
If he follows through on this, it's over for Democrats.
phil labonte
He's got to follow through, but yes.
unidentified
Even though, even 74% policy would be solid.
donald j trump
And today, interest rates took a beautiful drop.
Big, beautiful drop.
It's about time.
And in the near future, I want to do what has not been done in 24 years.
Balance the federal budget.
unidentified
We're going to balance it.
tim pool
Good luck.
unidentified
I'm rooting for him.
raymond g stanley-jr
It's a huge test.
tim pool
Democrats won't clap for bouncing the budget.
donald j trump
With that goal in mind, we have developed in great detail what we are calling the gold card, which goes on sale very, very soon.
For $5 million, we will allow the most successful job creating people from all over the world to buy a path to U.S. citizenship.
It's like the green card, but...
Better and more sophisticated.
And these people will have to pay tax in our country.
They won't have to pay tax from where they came.
The money that they've made, you wouldn't want to do that, but they have to pay tax, create jobs.
They'll also be taking people out of colleges and paying for them so that we can keep them in our country instead of having them being forced out.
Number one at the top school, as an example, being forced out and not being allowed to stay and create tremendous numbers of jobs and great success for a company out there.
So while we take out the criminals, killers, traffickers and child predators who are allowed to enter our country under the open border policy of these people, the Democrats, the Biden administration, the open border, insane policies that you've allowed to destroy our insane policies that you've allowed to destroy our country.
We will now bring in brilliant, hardworking job creating people.
They're going to pay a lot of money, and we're going to reduce our debt with that money.
Americans have given us a mandate for bold and profound change.
For nearly 100 years, the federal bureaucracy Has grown until it has crushed our freedoms, ballooned our deficits, and held back America's potential in every possible way.
The nation founded by pioneers and risk-takers now drowns under millions and millions of pages of regulations and debt.
Approvals that should take 10 days to get instead take 10 years, 15 years, and even 20 years before you're rejected.
Meanwhile, we have hundreds of thousands of federal workers who have not been showing up to work.
My administration will reclaim power from this unaccountable bureaucracy, and we will restore true democracy to America again.
unidentified
That's phenomenal.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yes.
unidentified
Yes.
They get away too much, so they're not passing away.
donald j trump
And any federal bureaucrat who resists this change will be removed from office immediately.
unidentified
Yes.
phil labonte
How about if you remove them from office?
donald j trump
Because we are draining the swamp.
It's very simple.
And the days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over.
rachel wilson
Who's laughing?
unidentified
Yeah.
Good point, Jim.
Good point.
donald j trump
And the next phase of our plan to deliver the greatest economy in history is for this Congress to pass tax cuts for everybody.
They're in there.
They're waiting for you to vote.
And I'm sure that the people on my right, I don't mean the Republican right, but my right right here, I'm sure you're going to vote for those tax cuts because otherwise I don't believe.
The people will ever vote you into office, so I'm doing you a big favor by telling you that.
rachel wilson
Yes, I'm so glad he said that.
donald j trump
But I know this group is going to be voting for the tech.
rachel wilson
Oh, he's trolling the Democrats so hard.
unidentified
Amazing.
rachel wilson
So well-deserved.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
He's done playing nice.
unidentified
That's what we need.
Bloss.
Thank you.
Big lesson learned after the first time.
donald j trump
It's a very, very big part of our plan.
We had tremendous success in our first term with it.
A very big part of our plan.
We're seeking permanent income tax cuts all across the board.
rachel wilson
Ooh, that would be great.
donald j trump
urgently needed relief to Americans hit especially hard by inflation.
I'm calling for no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security benefits for our great seniors.
raymond g stanley-jr
Hey, go to one EFLC.
unidentified
All that.
There's no reason to tax Social Security benefits.
Zero.
tim pool
Jasmine Crockett walked out.
unidentified
Good.
Good.
She's one of the worst Democrats out there.
raymond g stanley-jr
Not a family-friendly show.
donald j trump
And I also want to make interest payments on car loans tax deductible, but only if the car is made in America. - Wow.
raymond g stanley-jr
We all went on.
I like that.
unidentified
I like it.
Right.
donald j trump
And by the way, we're going to have growth in the auto industry like nobody's ever seen.
Plants are opening up all over the place.
Deals are being made.
Never seen.
That's a combination of the election win and tariffs.
It's a beautiful word, isn't it?
That along with our other policies will allow our auto industry to absolutely boom.
It's going to boom.
I spoke to the majors today, all three, the top people, and they're so excited.
In fact, already numerous car companies have announced that they will be building massive automobile plants in America, with Honda just announcing a new plant in Indiana, one of the largest anywhere in the world.
And this has taken place since our great victory on November 5th, a date which will hopefully go down as one of the most important in the history of our country.
unidentified
Thank you.
donald j trump
In addition, as part of our tax cuts, we want to cut taxes on domestic production and all manufacturing.
And just as we did before, we will provide 100% expensing.
It will be retroactive to January 20th, 2025. And it was one of the main reasons why our tax cuts were so successful in our first term, giving us the most successful economy in the history of our country.
First term.
We had a great first term.
unidentified
I remember.
It was nice.
I'm not going to lie.
raymond g stanley-jr
I was so good I was only paying attention to politics.
donald j trump
If you don't make your product in America, however, under the Trump administration, you will pay a tariff, and in some cases, a rather large one.
Other countries have used tariffs against us for decades, and now it's our turn to start using them against those other countries.
On average, the European Union, China, Brazil, India...
Mexico and Canada, have you heard of them?
And countless other nations charge us tremendously higher tariffs than we charge them.
It's very unfair.
India charges us auto tariffs higher than 100%.
China's average tariff on our products is twice what we charge them.
And South Korea's average tariff is four times higher.
Think of that, four times higher.
And we give so much help militarily and in so many other ways to South Korea, but that's what happens.
This is happening by friend and foe.
This system is not fair to the United States and never was, and so on April 2nd, I wanted to make it April 1st, but I didn't want to be accused of April Fool's Day.
That's true, too.
Just one day cost us a lot of money.
But we're going to do it in April.
I'm a very superstitious person.
April 2nd, reciprocal tariffs kick in.
And whatever they tariff us, other countries, we will tariff them.
That's reciprocal, back and forth.
unidentified
Whatever they tax us, we will tax them.
donald j trump
If they do non-monetary tariffs...
To keep us out of their market, then we will do non-monetary barriers to keep them out of our market.
There's a lot of that, too.
They don't even allow us in their market.
We will take in trillions and trillions of dollars and create jobs like we have never seen before.
I did it with China, and I did it with others, and the Biden administration couldn't do anything about it because there was so much money they couldn't do anything about it.
We have been ripped off for decades by nearly every country on Earth, and we will not let that happen any longer. and we will not let that happen any longer.
Much has been said over the last three months about Mexico and Canada.
But we have very large deficits with both of them, but even more importantly, they've allowed fentanyl to come into our country at levels never seen before, killing hundreds of thousands of our citizens and many very young, beautiful people destroying families.
Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
They are, in effect, receiving subsidies of hundreds of billions of dollars.
We pay subsidies to Canada.
And to Mexico of hundreds of billions of dollars.
And the United States will not be doing that any longer.
We're not going to do it any longer.
Thanks to our America First policies we're putting into place, we have had $1.7 trillion of new investment in America in just the past few weeks.
The combination of the election And our economic policies that people of SoftBank, one of the most brilliant anywhere in the world, announced a $200 billion investment.
OpenAI and Oracle, Larry Ellison, announced $500 billion investment, which they wouldn't have done if Kamala had won.
Apple announced $500 billion investment.
Called me.
He said, I cannot spend it fast enough.
It's going to be much higher than that, I believe.
They'll be building their plants here instead of in China.
And just yesterday, Taiwan, semiconductor, the biggest in the world, most powerful in the world, has a tremendous amount, 97% of the market, announced a $165 billion investment to build the most powerful chips on Earth right here in the USA. Good.
raymond g stanley-jr
I mean, it's necessary for national security.
donald j trump
And we're not giving them any money.
Your CHIPS Act is a horrible, horrible thing.
We give hundreds of billions of dollars.
And it doesn't mean a thing.
They take our money and they don't spend it.
All that meant to them, we're giving them no money.
All that was important to them was they didn't want to pay the tariffs, so they came and they're building, and many other companies are coming.
We don't have to give them money.
We just want to protect our businesses and our people.
And they will come because they won't have to pay tariffs if they build in America.
So it's very amazing.
You should get rid of the CHIP Act.
unidentified
I agree.
donald j trump
And whatever's left over, Mr. Speaker, you should use it to reduce debt.
Or any other reason you want to.
unidentified
or any other news.
raymond g stanley-jr
Infrastructure highlights.
unidentified
Thank you.
donald j trump
Our new trade policy will also be great for the American farmer.
I love the farmer.
Who will now be selling into our home market, the USA, because nobody is going to be able to compete with you.
Goods that come in from other countries and companies, they're really, really in a bad position in so many different ways.
They're uninspected.
They may be very dirty and disgusting, and they come in and they pour in, and they hurt our American farmers.
The tariffs will go on agricultural product coming into America, and our farmers starting on April 2nd.
It may be a little bit of an adjustment period.
We had that before when I made the deal with China.
$50 billion of purchases.
And I said, just bear with me.
And they did.
They did.
Probably have to bear with me again.
And this will be even better.
That was great.
The problem with it was that Biden didn't enforce it.
He didn't enforce it.
$50 billion of purchases.
And we were doing great, but Biden did not enforce it.
And it hurt our farmers.
But our farmers are going to have a field day right now.
So to our farmers, Have a lot of fun.
I love you, too.
I love you, too.
It's all going to happen.
And I have also imposed a 25% tariff on foreign aluminum, copper, lumber, and steel, because if we don't have, as an example, steel, and lots of other things, because if we don't have, as an example, steel, and lots of other things, we don't have a military and frankly won't have, we just won't have
Here today is a proud American steelworker, fantastic person from Decatur, Alabama.
Jeff Denard has been working at the same steel plant for 27 years in a job that has allowed him to serve as the captain of his local volunteer fire department.
Raised seven children with his beautiful wife, Nicole.
And over the years, provide a loving home for more than 40 foster children.
So great.
unidentified
- Aww. - Shout out, Jeff. - Let's go, Jeff.
donald j trump
Thank you, Jeff.
unidentified
Thank you, Jeff.
donald j trump
Stories like Jeff's remind us that tariffs are not just about protecting American jobs.
They're about protecting the soul of our country.
Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again.
And it's happening, and it will happen rather quickly.
There'll be a little disturbance, but we're okay with that.
It won't be much.
No, you're not.
phil labonte
Won't be much.
Won't be long.
donald j trump
And look where Biden took us.
Very low.
The lowest we've ever been.
Jeff, I want to thank you very much.
And I also want to recognize another person who has devoted herself to foster care community.
She worked so hard on it.
A very loving person.
our magnificent First Lady of the United States.
unidentified
Hey!
Bravo.
You mentioned this great work behind the scenes that we don't know about.
donald j trump
Melania's work has yielded incredible results, helping prepare our nation's future leaders as they enter the workforce.
Our First Lady is joined by two impressive young women, very impressive.
Hayley Ferguson, who benefited from the First Lady's Fostering the Future Initiative, and is poised to complete her education and become a teacher, and Elliston Berry.
Who became a victim of an illicit deepfake image produced by a peer.
unidentified
Oh.

With Elliston's help, the Senate just passed the Take It Down Act, and this is so important.
Thank you very much, John.

You can't post that stuff.
I think where the poster is required to tell.
donald j trump
And thank you to John Thune and the Senate.
Great job.
To criminalize the publication of such images online is a terrible, terrible thing.
And once it passes the House, I look forward to signing that bill into law.
Thank you.
And I'm going to use that bill for myself, too, if you don't mind.
raymond g stanley-jr
There's nobody in the street that I do online.
No, tell us for him.
donald j trump
That's great.
Thank you very much to the Senate.
Thank you.

But if we truly care about protecting Americans' children, no step is more crucial than securing America's borders.
donald j trump
Over the past four years, 21 million people poured into the United States.
Many of them were murderers, human traffickers, gang members, and other criminals from the streets of dangerous cities all throughout the world because of Joe Biden's insane and very dangerous open-border policies.
They are now strongly embedded in our country, but we are getting them out and getting them out fast. - Good, good, good. - Good, good. - And I want to thank Tom Holman. - good. - And I want to thank Tom Holman. - And I want to thank Tom Holman.
And Christy, I want to thank you.
And Paul of Border Patrol.
I want to thank you.
What a job they've all done.
Everybody.
Border Patrol, ICE. Law enforcement in general is incredible.
We have to take care of our law enforcement.
After last year -- A brilliant 22-year-old nursing student named Lakin Riley, the best in her class, admired by everybody, went out for a jog on the campus of the University of Georgia.
That morning, Lakin was viciously attacked, assaulted, beaten, brutalized, and horrifically murdered.
Lakin was stolen from us by a savage illegal alien gang member.
Who was arrested while trespassing across Biden's open southern border and then set loose into the United States under the heartless policies of that failed administration.
It was indeed a failed administration.
He had then been arrested and released in a Democrat-run sanctuary city, a disaster, before ending the life of this beautiful young angel.
With us this evening are Lakin's beloved mother, Allison, and her sister, Lauren.
unidentified
Last
donald j trump
year I told Lakin's grieving parents that we would ensure their daughter would not have died in vain.
That's why the very first bill I signed into law as your 47th president mandates the detention of all dangerous criminal aliens who threaten public safety.
It's a very strong, powerful act.
unidentified
It's called the Lakin-Riley Act.
donald j trump
So Allison and Lauren, America will never, ever forget our beautiful Lakin Hope Riley.
unidentified
Hearing the story about Lakin Riley, how it went down as a rock.
Yeah.
Rough.
tim pool
Murphy Brutal was standing there with everyone cheering and clapping for you over your dead family member, daughter or sister.
donald j trump
Thank you very much.
Since taking office, my administration has launched the most sweeping border and immigration crackdown in American history, and we quickly achieved the lowest numbers of illegal border crossers ever recorded.
Thank you.
The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation We must have legislation to secure the border.
But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president.
unidentified
That was a good one.
phil labonte
Yeah, it's remarkable how A few border crosses there are now.
unidentified
And again, this goes back to what I was saying earlier.
phil labonte
Donald Trump has demonstrated that the president can do things.
donald j trump
Joe Biden didn't just open our borders.
He flew illegal aliens over them to overwhelm our schools, hospitals, and communities throughout the country.
Entire towns like Aurora, Colorado, and Springfield, Ohio, buckled under the weight of the migrant occupation and corruption like nobody's ever seen before.
Beautiful towns destroyed.
Now, just as I promised in my inaugural address, we are achieving the great liberation of America.
But there still is much work to be done.
Here tonight is a woman I have gotten to know, Alexis Nungary from Houston.
Wonderful woman.
Last June, Alexis' 12-year-old daughter, her precious Jocelyn, walked to a nearby convenience store.
She was kidnapped, tied up, assaulted for two hours under a bridge and horrifically murdered.
Arrested and charged with this heinous crime are two illegal alien monsters from Venezuela released into America by the last administration through their ridiculous open border.
The death of this beautiful 12-year-old girl and the agony of her mother and family touched our entire nation greatly.
Alexis, I promised that we would always remember your daughter, your magnificent daughter.
Earlier tonight, I signed an order keeping my word to you.
One thing I have learned about Jocelyn is that she loved animals so much.
She loved nature.
Across Galveston Bay, from where Jocelyn lived in Houston, you will find a magnificent national wildlife refuge.
A pristine, peaceful, 34,000-acre sanctuary for all of God's creatures.
On the edge of the Gulf of America, Alexis, moments ago, I formally renamed that refuge in loving memory of your beautiful daughter, Jocelyn.
So, Mr. Vice President, if you would, may I have the order?
unidentified
Wow.
The same executive order right there, huh?
Yeah, amazing.
This is like the liveliest stadium address or whatever you want to call it I've ever seen.
Yeah.

Thank you very much.
All three savages charged with Jocelyn and Blakeens.
phil labonte
I love it, savages.
donald j trump
Murders were members of the Venezuelan prison gang, the toughest gang they say in the world, known as Tren de Aragua.
Two weeks ago, I officially designated this gang, along with MS-13 and the bloodthirsty Mexican drug cartels, as foreign terrorist organizations.
unidentified
Wow.
The Democrats just don't care.
donald j trump
They are now officially in the same category as ISIS, and that's not good for them.
Countless thousands of these terrorists were welcomed into the US by the Biden administration.
But now every last one will be rounded up and forcibly removed from our country, or, if they're too dangerous, put in jails, standing trial in this country, because we don't want them to come back ever.
With us this evening is a warrior on the front lines of that battle, Border Patrol Agent Roberto Ortiz.
Great guy.
of the...
Prince of that event and it was not good.
Agent Ortiz, we salute you for your great courage and for your line of fire that you took and for the bravery that you showed.
We honor you and we will always honor you.
Thank you, Roberto, very much.
unidentified
Thank you, Roberto.
Thank you.
donald j trump
And I actually got to know him on my many calls to the border.
He's a great, great gentleman.
The territory to the immediate south of our border is now dominated entirely by criminal cartels that murder, rape, torture and exercise total control.
They have total control over a whole nation, posing a grave threat to our national security.
The cartels are waging war in America and it's time for America to wage war on the cartels which we A lot of things they leave out this Curing our borders and keeping them out I'm fine with Persians in Mexico in no way five nights ago Mexican authorities because of our Tariff policies being imposed on them think of this
Handed over to us 29 of the biggest cartel leaders in their country.
That has never happened before.
They want to make us happy.
First time ever.
phil labonte
They want to make us happy.
donald j trump
But we need Mexico and Canada to do much more than they've done, and they have to stop the fentanyl and drugs pouring into the USA. They're going to stop it.
I have sent Congress a detailed funding request laying out exactly how we will eliminate these threats to protect our homeland and complete the largest deportation operation in American history, larger even than current record holder, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a moderate man, but someone who believed very strongly in borders.
Americans expect Congress to send me this funding without delay so I can sign it into law.
Mr. Speaker, John Thune, both of you, I hope you're going to be able to do that, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you.
Mr. Leader, thank you.
Thank you very much.
And let's get it to me.
I'll sign it so fast you won't even believe it Johnson's been fairly lukewarm as a and as we reclaim our sovereignty which is good We must also bring back law and order to our cities and towns You know the whole FISA thing?
In recent years, our justice system has been turned upside down by radical left lunatics.
Many jurisdictions virtually seized enforcing the law against dangerous repeat offenders while weaponizing law enforcement against political opponents like me.
My administration has acted swiftly and decisively to restore fair, equal, and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law, starting at the FBI and the FBI.
D.O.J., Pam, good luck.

Good luck.

He was gonna do a big CR. Cash, thank you.
And then he did a big one.
Thank you, Cash.
No one's perfect.
phil labonte
Well, no, it's not just that no one's perfect.
The conditions in the house are why...
unidentified
Oh, there's Cash.
Okay.
phil labonte
Because...
They don't have the votes.
They have a razor-thin margin in the House.
And just a couple defections from the Republicans means that they can't be passed.
donald j trump
We're also once again giving our police officers the support, protection, and respect.
unidentified
Because of the way that the House is now, and the same thing in the Senate.
donald j trump
They have such a hard, dangerous job, but we're going to make it less dangerous.
The problem is the bad guys don't respect the law, but they're starting to respect it, and they soon will respect it.
This also includes our great fire departments throughout the country.
Our firemen and women are unbelievable people, and I will never forget them.
And besides that, they voted for me in record numbers, so I have no chance.
One year ago this month, 31-year-old New York police officer Jonathan Diller, unbelievably wonderful person and a great officer, was gunned down at a traffic stop on Long Island.
I went to his funeral.
The vicious criminal charged with his murder had 21 prior arrests, and they were rough arrests.
He was a real bad one.
The thug in the seat next to him had 14 prior arrests.
And went by the name of Killer.
He was Killer.
He killed other people, they say, a lot of them.
I attended Officer Diller's service, and when I met his wife and one-year-old son, Ryan, it was very inspirational, actually.
His widow's name is Stephanie, and she is here tonight.
Stephanie, thank you very much, Stephanie.
unidentified
Thank you very much.
donald j trump
Stephanie, we're going to make sure that Ryan knows his dad was a true hero, New York's And we're going to get these cold-blooded killers and repeat offenders off our streets, and we're going to do it fast.
Got to stop it.
They get out with 28 arrests.
They push people into subway trains.
They hit people over the head, back of the head with baseball bats.
We got to get them out of here.
I've already signed an executive order requiring a mandatory death penalty for anyone who murders a police officer, and tonight I'm asking Congress to pass that policy into permanent law.
unidentified
As just general federal law?
tim pool
Or is he referring to illegal immigrants?
I thought that was about illegal immigrants.
unidentified
I'm also asking...
donald j trump
For a new crime bill getting tough on repeat offenders while enhancing protections for America's police officers so they can do their jobs without fear of their lives being totally destroyed.
They don't want to be killed.
We're not going to let them be killed.
Joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police.
His name is DJ Daniel.
He is 13 years old, and he has always dreamed of becoming a police officer.
unidentified
There we go, Daniel.
I like his dad's shirt.
He's definitely from Texas.
Let's go, DJ.
Texas shirt and everything.

I hope it's another 75 more years, brother.

Since that time, DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make...
His dream come true, and D.J. has been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer actually a number of times.
The police love him.
The police departments love him.
And tonight, D.J., we're going to do you the biggest honor of them all.
I am asking our new Secret Service director.
Sean Curran to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret Service.

He's got too many commissions already.

He's in the picture of the famous person.
He's one of the dudes on stage.
unidentified
Yeah.
The most decorated person in American history is a nine-year-old kid.
I'm sorry.
Does that kid know that taking that commission means he's going to use his own body for the president?
donald j trump
He has no idea.

Man, that's amazing stuff.
I love it.
donald j trump
Thank you, DJ. That's awesome.
cancer likely came from a chemical he was exposed to when he was younger.
Wow.
Since 1975, rates of child cancer have increased by more than 40%.
Reversing this trend is one of the top priorities for our new presidential commission to make America healthy again, chaired by our new Secretary of Health and Human Services, Let's go.

I like the structure of the speech.

It's fine.
I'll say it was.

Yeah.
Oh, yeah.

Like, when Steve did it, he raised his arm to his right side, and they called it a Roman.

With the name Kennedy, you would have thought everybody over here would have been shooting.
How quickly they forget.
Our goal is to get toxins out of our environment, poisons out of our food supply, and keep our children healthy and strong.
As an example, not long ago, and you can't even believe these numbers, one in 10,000 children Had autism.
One in 10,000.
Now it's one in 30. And now it's one in 36. Wait, what?
There's something wrong.
One in 36. Think of that.
So we're going to find out what it is, and there's nobody better than Bobby and all of the people that are working with you.
You have the best to figure out what is going on.
phil labonte
Hey, Bobby, good luck.
donald j trump
It's a very important job.
unidentified
Thank you.
Thank you.
donald j trump
My administration is also working to protect our children from toxic ideologies in our schools.
A few years ago, January, little John and her husband discovered that their daughter's school had secretly socially transitioned their 13-year-old little girl.
Teachers and administrators conspired to deceive January and her husband while encouraging her daughter to use a new name and pronouns.
They, them, pronoun, actually.
All without telling January, who is here tonight and is now a courageous advocate against this form of child abuse.
January, thank you.
unidentified
Thank you.
donald j trump
Thank you very much.
unidentified
Thank you.
phil labonte
You should do that, too.
Put the hand up.
tim pool
Is that Johnson clapping into his microphone again?
unidentified
Probably.
donald j trump
Thank you.
Stories like this are why, shortly after taking office, I signed an executive order banning public schools from indoctrinating our children with transgender ideology.
unidentified
Now Democrats are salty about that one.
We want to trans the kids.
donald j trump
I also signed an order to cut off all taxpayer funding to any institution that engages in the sexual mutilation of our youth.
unidentified
Yes.
I'll have a Democrat Polish.
donald j trump
And now I want Congress to pass a bill permanently banning and criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped.
In the wrong body.
phil labonte
Amen.
This is a big lie.
Amen.
raymond g stanley-jr
Bring Billboard Chris on.
unidentified
Who knows what's up?
phil labonte
There's no such thing as a trans child.
donald j trump
And our message to every child in America is that you are perfect exactly the way God made you.
unidentified
We can fix that.
donald j trump
Because we're getting wokeness out of our schools and out of our military, and it's already out, and it's out of our society.
We don't want it.
Wokeness is trouble.
Wokeness is bad.
It's gone.
It's gone.
And we feel so much better for it, don't we?
We sure do, President Trump.
Our service members won't be activists.
Ideologues, they will be fighters and warriors.
They will fight for our country.
And Pete, congratulations.
unidentified
Secretary of Defense, congratulations.
donald j trump
And he's not big into the woke movement, I can tell you.
I know him well.
I am pleased to report that in January, the U.S. Army had its single best recruiting month in 15 years, and that all armed services are having among the best recruiting results ever in the history of our services.
What a difference.
phil labonte
Wow.
unidentified
When you let the Army be the Army, people want to join the Army.
tim pool
When you let men be men, right?
donald j trump
And you know, it was just a few months ago.
Where the results were exactly the opposite.
We couldn't recruit anywhere.
We couldn't recruit.
Now we're having the best results just about that we've ever had.
What a tremendous turnaround.
It's really a beautiful thing to see.
People love our country again.
It's very simple.
They love our country, and they love being in our military again.
So it's a great thing, and thank you very much.
Thank you so much.
unidentified
Great job.
Thank you.
I love that.
The Democrats still sitting.
donald j trump
We're joined tonight by a young man, Jason Hartley, who knows the weight of that call of duty.
Jason's father, grandfather, and great-grandfather all wore the uniform.
Jason tragically lost his dad, who was also a Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy when he was just a boy, and now he wants to carry on the family legacy of service.
Jason is a senior in high school, a six-letter varsity athlete, a really good athlete, they say.
a brilliant student with a 4.46.
That's good.
unidentified
GPA.
Wow.
donald j trump
And his greatest dream is to attend the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
unidentified
It looks like he's going to go.
Yeah, he looks like he was born in Bradford.
He's a doctor.
Yeah.
donald j trump
And Jason, that's a very big deal getting in.
That's a hard one to get into.
But I'm pleased to inform you that your application has been accepted.
You will soon be joining the Corps of Canada.
unidentified
What a way to get it.
phil labonte
The President just said hey.
unidentified
You're in, Bill.
He's got a lot to look at him now.
Let's go, guys.
donald j trump
Thank you.
Jason, you're going to be on the long gray line, Jason.
As Commander-in-Chief, my focus is on building the most powerful military of the future.
As a first step, I'm asking Congress to fund a state-of-the-art Golden Dome Missile Defense Shield to protect our homeland, all made in the USA. Golden Dome.
unidentified
Golden Dome.
Do we need it, though?
phil labonte
The point is to defend against nuclear weapons.
tim pool
Is he Russians?
donald j trump
And Ronald Reagan wanted to do it long ago, but the technology just wasn't there.
phil labonte
Not even close, but now we have the technology.
donald j trump
It's incredible, actually.
And other places, they have it.
Israel has it.
Other places have it.
And the United States should have it, too, right?
unidentified
It's not a bad idea.
donald j trump
They should have it, too.
So I want to thank you.
But it's a very, very important issue.
phil labonte
Kanye just tweeted, wokeness is bad, wokeness is trouble.
It's gone.
Thank you, President Trump.
donald j trump
And we're going to protect our citizens like never before.
To boost our defense industrial base, we are also going to resurrect the American shipbuilding industry, including commercial shipbuilding and military shipbuilding.
tim pool
Industry.
donald j trump
And for that purpose, I am announcing tonight that we will create a new office of shipbuilding in the White House and offer special tax incentives to bring this industry home to America where it belongs.
We used to make so many ships.
We don't make them anymore very much, but we're going to make them very fast, very soon.
It will have a huge impact.
To further enhance our national security, my administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal, and we've already started doing it.
unidentified
Allegedly, BlackRock has bought a couple of ports.
donald j trump
Just today, a large American company announced they are buying both ports around the Panama Canal.
And lots of other things having to do with the Panama Canal and a couple of other canals.
The Panama Canal was built by Americans for Americans, not for others.
But others could use it.
But it was built at tremendous cost of American blood and treasure.
38,000 workers died building the Panama Canal.
They died of malaria.
They died of snake bites and mosquitoes.
rachel wilson
I'm sure there were lots of feminists down there building the Panama Canal, dying for that.
donald j trump
They paid them very highly to go there, knowing there was a 25% chance that they would die.
The most expensive project also that was ever built in our country's history, if you bring it up to modern-day costs.
It was given away by the Carter administration for one dollar, but that agreement has been violated very severely.
We didn't give it to China.
We gave it to Panama and we're taking it back.
unidentified
I like it.
China keeps approaching.
donald j trump
Now we have Marco Rubio.
In charge.
Good luck, Marco.
unidentified
Hello.
donald j trump
Now, we know who to blame if anything goes wrong.
Marco's been amazing, and he's going to do a great job.
rachel wilson
I like him low-key.
donald j trump
Think of it.
unidentified
He got 100 votes.
rachel wilson
Awesome.
donald j trump
You know, he was approved with actually 99, but the 100th was this gentleman, and I feel very certain.
So let's assume he got 100 votes, and I'm either very, very happy about that, or I'm very concerned about it.
But he's already proven.
I mean, he's a great gentleman.
He's respected by everybody, and we appreciate you voting for Marco.
He's going to do a fantastic job.
Thank you.
tim pool
Are they going to clap now?
donald j trump
Thank you.
unidentified
Oh, look at that.
tim pool
He's doing a great job.
unidentified
I'm not showing it.
Come on, Democrats.
You voted for him.
tim pool
Go to Democrats.
donald j trump
Great job.
unidentified
Nope.
tim pool
Not showing it.
unidentified
I know.
tim pool
Okay.
Why'd they do that?
donald j trump
And I also have a message tonight for the incredible people of Greenland.
We strongly support your right to determine your own future.
And if you choose, we welcome you into the United States of America.
We need Greenland for national security and even international security.
And we're working with everybody involved to try and get it.
But we need it really for international world security.
And I think we're going to get it.
One way or the other, we're going to get you.
tim pool
One way or the other?
rachel wilson
Listen, something's going on in Greenland, okay?
And he knows what it is.
tim pool
We will make you rich and together.
unidentified
We will take Greenland to heights like you have never thought possible before.
donald j trump
It's a very small population, but very, very large piece of land and very, very important for military security.
America is once again standing strong against the forces of radical Islamic terrorism.
Three and a half years ago, ISIS terrorists killed 13 American service members and countless others in the Abbey Gate bombing during the disastrous and incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Not that they were withdrawing.
It was the way they withdrew.
Perhaps the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.
Tonight I am pleased to announce that we have just apprehended the top terrorist responsible for that atrocity.
And he is right now on his way here to face the swift sword of American justice.
unidentified
Wow.
Democrats are clapping.
tim pool
I can see it.
There you go.
Not standing up, though.
unidentified
And we are not having a chance.
phil labonte
Allegedly, Donald Trump is so charismatic that you can only resist his charisma for a short period of time.
And that's why he speaks for such a long time.
unidentified
And I want to thank especially the government of Pakistan for helping arrest this monster.
donald j trump
This was a very momentous day for those 13 families, who I actually got to know very well, most of them, whose children were murdered and the...
Many people that were so badly, over 42 people, so badly injured on that fateful day in Afghanistan.
What a horrible day.
Such incompetence was shown.
That when Putin saw what happened, I guess he said, wow, maybe this is my chance.
That's how bad it was.
Should have never happened.
Grossly incompetent people.
I spoke to many of the parents and loved ones.
They're all in our hearts tonight.
Just spoke to them on the phone.
We had a big call.
Every one of them called, and everybody was on the line, and they did nothing but cry with happiness.
They were very happy, as happy as you can be under those circumstances.
Their child, brother, sister, son, daughter was killed for no reason whatsoever.
In the Middle East, we're bringing back our hostages from Gaza.
In my first term, we achieved one of the most groundbreaking peace agreements in generations, the Abraham Accords.
And now we're going to build on that foundation to create a more peaceful and prosperous future for the entire region.
A lot of things are happening in the Middle East.
People haven't been talking about that so much lately with everything going on with Ukraine and Russia.
But a lot of things are happening in the Middle East.
It's a rough neighborhood, actually.
I'm also working tirelessly to end the savage conflict in Ukraine.
Millions of Ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed.
Or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict.
With no end in sight, the United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine's defense.
With no security, with no anything.
tim pool
Are the Democrats finally clapping?
raymond g stanley-jr
It feels like it, because it's quiet.
unidentified
It's like four of them.
donald j trump
Do you want to keep it going for another five years?
You would say Pocahontas says yes.
rachel wilson
That's fired.
unidentified
Look at his face.
Look at his face.
donald j trump
2,000 people are being killed every single week.
More than that.
They're Russian young people.
They're Ukrainian young people.
They're not Americans.
But I want it to stop.
Meanwhile, Europe has sadly spent more money buying Russian oil and gas than they have spent on defending Ukraine by far.
Think of that.
They've spent more buying Russian oil and gas than they have defending.
phil labonte
That's ridiculous.
donald j trump
And we've spent perhaps $350 billion like taking candy from a baby.
That's what happened.
And they've spent...
A hundred billion dollars.
What a difference that is.
And we have an ocean separating us, and they don't.
But we're getting along very well with them, and lots of good things are happening.
Biden has authorized more money in this fight than Europe has spent by billions and billions of dollars.
It's hard to believe that they wouldn't have stopped it and said, at some point, come on, let's equalize.
You've got to be equal to us.
But that didn't happen.
Earlier today, I received an important letter from President Zelensky of Ukraine.
The letter reads, Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer.
Nobody wants peace more than the Ukrainians, he said.
My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump's strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.
We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence.
Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it at any time that is convenient for you.
I appreciate that he sent this letter.
Just got it a little while ago.
Simultaneously, we've had serious discussions with Russia.
And have received strong signals that they are ready for peace.
Wouldn't that be beautiful?
Wouldn't that be beautiful?
unidentified
Trump is being awfully magnanimous about this, too, now.
So far.
phil labonte
He might do a jab in there.
unidentified
He might.
phil labonte
You never can tell.
rachel wilson
I'm waiting for it.
donald j trump
Wouldn't that be beautiful?
It's time to stop this madness.
It's time to halt the killing.
It's time to end the senseless war.
If you want to end wars, you have to talk to both sides.
Nearly four years ago, amid rising tensions, a history teacher named Mark Fogel was detained in Russia and sentenced to 14 years in a penal colony.
Rough stuff.
Barely lifted a finger to help him.
They knew he was innocent, but they had no idea where to begin.
But last summer, I promised his 95-year-old mother, Malfin, that we would bring her boy safely back home.
After 22 days in office, I did just that.
And they are here tonight.
unidentified
Nice.
The only time the Democrats clapped was to cheer for a foreign country and not the United States.
tim pool
Not any of its successes, victories, not the apprehension of terrorists, not the cutting of wasteful spending, only to cheer for Ukraine.
phil labonte
Democrats are just anti-American.
tim pool
They're insane.
phil labonte
They're just anti-American.
unidentified
Mike Johnson's got to stop clapping into his microphone.
raymond g stanley-jr
It's freaking annoying.
donald j trump
To Mark and his great mom, we are delighted to have you safe and sound and with us.
As fate would have it, Mark Fogle was born in a small rural town in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Have you heard of it?
Where his mother has lived for the past 78 years.
I just happened to go there last July 13th for a rally.
raymond g stanley-jr
Oh, really?
donald j trump
That was not pleasant.
And that is where I met his beautiful mom right before I walked onto that stage.
And I told her I would not forget what she said about her son.
And I never did, did I? Never forgot.
Less than ten minutes later, at that same rally, gunfire rang out and a sick and deranged assassin unloaded eight bullets.
My life was saved by a fraction of an inch, but some were not so lucky.
Corey Comparator was a firefighter, a veteran, a Christian, a husband, a devoted father, and above all, a protector.
When the sound of gunshots pierced, the air was a horrible sound.
Corey knew instantly what it was and what to do.
He threw himself on top of his wife and daughters and shielded them from the bullets with his own body.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah, that's a hero, right?
donald j trump
Corey was hit really hard.
You know the story from there.
He sacrificed his life to save theirs.
Two others, very fine people, were also seriously hit.
But thankfully, with the help of two great country doctors, we thought they were gone and they were saved, so those doctors had great talent.
We're joined by Corey's wife, Helen, who was his high school sweetheart, and their two beloved daughters, Allison and Kaylee.
unidentified
Thank you.
It's like you put crystal on.
It's like you put crystal on.
raymond g stanley-jr
I'm not celebrating the life of people.
It makes no sense to me.
unidentified
Poor dear, thank you.
Yeah, she doesn't want to be a spot, center spotlight.
Nobody wants this, don't hate it.
Oh, it's awful.
raymond g stanley-jr
Freaking politics is stupid.
donald j trump
To Helen, Allison, and Kaylee, Corey is looking down on his three beautiful ladies right now.
And he is cheering you on.
He loves you.
He is cheering you on.
Cory was taken from us much too soon, but his destiny was to leave us all with a shining example of the selfless devotion of a true American patriot.
It was love like Cory's that built our country, and it's love like Cory's that is going to make our country more majestic than ever before.
I believe that my life was saved that day in Butler for a very good reason.
I was saved by God to make America great again.
I believe that.
unidentified
They should have never tried to kill him.
They should have never done that.
Oh, it's great for us.
It's going to be bad for all the people who oppose.
What Trump's doing, because he's serious now.
donald j trump
Thank you very much.
From the patriots of Lexington and Concord to the heroes of Gettysburg and Normandy, from the warriors who crossed the Delaware to the trailblazers who climbed the Rockies, and from the legends who soared at Kitty Hawk to the astronauts who touched the moon, Americans have always been the people who defied all arts, transcended.
All dangers made the most extraordinary sacrifices and did whatever it took to defend our children, our country, and our freedom.
And as we have seen in this chamber tonight, that same strength, faith, love, and spirit is still alive and thriving in the hearts of the American people.
Despite the best efforts of those who would try to censor us, silence us, break us, destroy us, Americans are today a proud, free, sovereign and independent nation that will always be free and we will fight for it till death.
We will never let anything happen to our beloved country because we are a country of doers, dreamers, fighters and survivors.
Our ancestors crossed a vast ocean.
Strowed into the unknown wilderness and carved their fortunes from the rock and soil of a perilous and very dangerous frontier.
They chased our destiny across a boundless continent.
They built the railroads, laid the highways and graced the world with American marvels like the Empire State Building, the mighty Hoover Dam and the towering Golden Gate Bridge.
They lit the world with electricity, broke free of the force of gravity, fired up the engines of American industry, vanquished the communists, fascists and Marxists all over the world, and gave us countless modern wonders sculptured out of iron, glass and steel.
We stand on the shoulders of these pioneers who won and built the modern age.
These workers who poured their sweat into the skylines of our cities.
These warriors who shed their blood on fields of battle and gave everything they had for our rights and for our freedom.
Now it is our time to take up the righteous cause of American liberty.
And it is our turn to take America's destiny into our own hands and begin the most thrilling days in the history of our country.
This will be our greatest era.
With God's help over the next four years, we are going to lead this nation even higher, and we are going to forge the freest, most advanced, most dynamic, and most dominant civilization ever to exist on the face of this earth.
unidentified
Heck yeah.
donald j trump
We are going to create the highest quality of life, build the safest and wealthiest and healthiest and most vital...
Communities anywhere in the world.
We are going to conquer the vast frontiers of science, and we are going to lead humanity into space and plant the American flag on the planet Mars and even far beyond.
unidentified
And through it all, we are going to rediscover the unstoppable power of the American spirit.
donald j trump
And we are going to renew unlimited promise of the American dream.
Every single day you will stand up and we will fight, fight, fight for the country our citizens believe in and for the country our people deserve.
unidentified
Thank you.
Fight, fight, fight, he said.
The seats are up to the left.
Fight, fight, fight, fight.
Great chat.
rachel wilson
Don't forget to like, like, like this stream.
One like equals one fight, fight, fight.
donald j trump
My fellow Americans, get ready for an incredible future because the golden age of America has only just begun.
It will be like nothing that has ever been seen before.
Thank you.
God bless you.
unidentified
And God bless America.
My camera died?
My camera died.
Really?
Yeah.
How does that work?
I don't know.
tim pool
Table fell out or something?
unidentified
I can still talk.
tim pool
Table fell out.
What happened?
unidentified
Turned off.
I'm back.
tim pool
Temperature?
unidentified
Is it cooled off?
tim pool
Oh, that's crazy.
Well, I would say that that was very based.
phil labonte
It was a good...
rachel wilson
I liked it.
phil labonte
Yeah, it was really good.
rachel wilson
I'm so glad to be here with you gentlemen during this historic moment.
I feel very honored for that.
tim pool
Well, we were talking about it because the worst thing in the world is when we have like specialist guests who come on a day where we're mostly just providing commentary and hanging out.
So we were like, we need someone specifically who has commentary on social issues to hang out with us for the show.
So there it is, ladies and gentlemen.
That was...
That was the most incredible State Union I've ever seen.
rachel wilson
Yeah.
tim pool
I mean, it was also the craziest, what with Al Green.
Yeah.
And so a lot of people have made a point.
There's a point being made by a lot of people that during Obama, some Republican yelled, you lied, and the media went nuts.
And now you have constant heckling the whole time.
The only time Democrats clapped.
What's for a foreign country?
rachel wilson
For Ukraine.
phil labonte
And people walking out the whole night.
If you look at the Democrats, the House side, there were significantly fewer people at the end than were there in the beginning.
And they said that they were going to do it.
The intent was to show that they were to be disrespectful.
Right.
tim pool
No egg cartons, though.
phil labonte
No, thank you.
rachel wilson
That's unfortunate.
phil labonte
They did have those signs, and those signs are memes.
There are plenty of memes out there now.
They're great.
tim pool
There's ones where they made them all green.
All right, everybody, that was it.
That was the not State of the Union State of the Union.
So thank you all so much for hanging out with us as we watch live.
Of course, we'll be back tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.
So no one sends her tonight because it's late.
And I got to go to bed.
I have a family now.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yes, you do.
rachel wilson
Congratulations, by the way.
tim pool
I'm going to keep saying it a million times because it's like the best thing in the world.
And smash the like button.
Share the show if you really do enjoy it.
Word of mouth is the best way.
Everybody always wonders, like, how do podcasts get big?
It's because people who watch them...
