[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] six weeks ago I stood beneath the Dome of this capital 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 I returned to this chamber tonight to report that America's momentum is back our spirit is back our pride is back our confidence is
back and the American dream is surging bigger and better than ever before the American dream is Unstoppable In our country is on the verge of a comeback the likes of which the world has never witnessed and perhaps will never witness again there never been anything like it the presidential election of November 5th was a mandate like has not been seen in many decades we won all seven swing States giving us an electoral college victory of 300 12 [Music] folks we won the popular vote by big Numbers and won counties in our country [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
us [Applause] us and one counties in our country 2,700 to 525 on a map that reads almost completely red for Republican now for the first time in modern history more Americans believe That our country is headed in the right direction than the wrong direction in fact it's an astonishing record 27 point swing the most ever [Music] likewise small business optimism so it single largest one- Monon gain ever recorded a 41o job members are directed to uphold and maintain decorum in the house and to cease any further disruptions that's Your warning [Applause] members are engaging in

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 [Music] 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 [Music] many and what makes it even more impressive is that do you know who number two is George Washington how about that how about I don't know about that list but but we'll
take it within hours of taking the oath of office I declared a National Emergency on our Southern border and I deployed the US Military and border patrol to repel the invasion of our country and what a job they've done as a result illegal border crossings last month were by far the lowest ever recorded ever [Music] 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 at disease that would wipe out entire nations or announce the answers to the greatest economy in history or the
stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded and these people sitting right here will not clap will not stand and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements they won't do it no matter what five five times I've been up here it's very sad and it's just shouldn't be this [Music] way so Democrats sitting before me for just this one night why not join us in celebrating so many incredible wins for America for the good of our nation let's work together and let's truly make America great [Applause] [Music] again every day my Administration is
fighting to deliver the change America Needs to bring a future that America deserves and we're doing it this is a time for Big Dreams and bold action upon taking office I imposed an immediate freeze on all federal hiring a freeze on all new federal regulations and a freeze on all foreign aid [Music] I terminated the ridiculous green new 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 [Music] Organization and I also withdrew from the anti-American UN
Human Rights Council we ended all of Biden's environmental restrictions that were making our country far less safe and totally unaffordable and importantly we ended the last administration's insane electric vehicle mandate saving our Auto Workers and companies from economic destruction [Music] 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 [Music] day and in 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 [Music] job and we have ended well IED 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 not too [Music] good and I have stopped all government Censorship and brought back free speech in America it's [Applause] back and two days ago I signed an order making English the official language of the United States of America [Music] I renamed the Gulf of Mexico the
Gulf of [Applause] [Music] America and likewise I renamed for a great President William McKinley Mount McKinley again beautiful Alaska we love Alaska We've Ended the tyranny of so-called diversity equity and inclusion policies all across the entire federal government and indeed the private sector and our military and our country will be woke no longer [Applause] [Music] 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 you should be hired based on Merit and
the Supreme Court in A Brave and very powerful decision has allowed us to do so thank you thank you very much we have removed the poison of critical race Theory from our public schools and I signed an order making it the official policy of the United States Government that there are only two genders male and female [Music] [Applause] I also signed an executive order to ban men from playing in women's sports 3 years ago Payton McNab was an Allstar High School athlete one of the best preparing for a future in college sports but when her
girls volleyball match was invaded by a male he smashed the ball so hard in Payton's face Causing traumatic brain injury partially paralyzing her right side and ending her athletic career it was a shot like she's never seen before she's never seen anything like like it pton is here tonight in the gallery and pton from now on schools will kick the men off the girls team or they will lose all federal funding [Music] and if you really want to see numbers just take a look at what happened in the Woman's boxing weightlifting track and field swimming
or cycling where a male recently finished a longdistance race 5 hours and 14 minutes ahead of a woman for a new record by 5 hours broke the record by 5 hours it's demeaning for women and it's very bad for our country we're not going to put up with it any [Music] longer what I have just described is only a small fraction of the Common Sense Revolution that is now because of Us sweeping the entire world Common Sense has become a common theme and we will never go back never never going to let that happen among
my very highest priorities is to rescue our economy and get dramatic and immediate relief to Working Families as you know we inherited from the last Administration an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare a their policies drove up Energy prices pushed up grocery costs and drove the Necessities of life Out Of Reach for millions and millions of Americans they've never had anything like it we suffered the worst inflation in 48 years but perhaps even in the history of our country they're not sure as president I'm fighting every day to reverse this damage and make America affordable
again [Music] Joe Biden especially let the price of eggs get out of control 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 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 Hal and closed more than 100 power power plants we are opening up many
of those Power plants right [Music] now and frankly we have never seen anything like it that's why on my first day in office I declared a national Energy emergency as you've heard me say many times we have more Liquid Gold under our feet than any Nation on Earth and by far and now I fully authorize the most talented team ever assembled to go and get it it's called drill baby [Applause] drill my Administration is also working on a gigantic natural gas pipeline in Alaska among the largest in the world where Japan South Korea and other
nations want to be our partner with Investments of trillions of dollars each there's never been anything like that one it will be truly spectacular it's all set to go the perming 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 [Music] USA to further combat inflation we will not only be reducing the cost of energy but will be ending the flagrant waste of taxpayer dollars [Music] and to that end I have created the brand new Department of government efficiency goge perhaps
you've heard of it Perhaps which is headed by Elon Musk who is in the gallery tonight [Music] thank you Elon he's working very hard 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 $8 million to promote lgbtqi Plus in the African nation of luto which nobody has ever heard of $60 million for indigenous peoples And afro Colombian empowerment in Central America $60 million $8 million for making mice transgender this is real $32 million for a leftwing propaganda operation in mova $10 million for male circumcision in mosambique $20 million for the Arab Sesame Street in the Middle East it's a program $20 million for a program $19 billion to recently created decarbonization of Homes committee headed up and we know she's involved
just at the last moment the money was passed over by a woman named Stacy Abrams have you ever heard of her a $3.5 million Consulting contract for lavish fish monitoring $1.5 million for voter confidence in Liberia $14 million for social cohesion in Mali $59 million for illegal alien hotel rooms in New York [Music] City he's a real estate developer he's done very well $250,000 to increase vegan local climate action innovation in Zambia $42 million for social and behavior change in Uganda $14 million for improving public procurement and Serbia $47 million for improving learning outcomes in
Asia Asia's doing very well with learning we don't know what we're doing Should use it ourselves and $11 million for Dei contracts at the Department of Education the most ever paid nothing even like it under the Trump Administration all of these scams and they're far worse but I didn't think it was appropriate to talk about them they're so bad many more have been found out and exposed and swiftly terminated by a group of very intelligent mostly young people headed up by Elon and we appreciate it we found hundreds of Billions of dollars of fraud [Music]
and we've taken back the money and reduced our debt to fight inflation and other things taking back a lot of that money we got it just in time this is just the beginning the government accountability office a federal government office has estimated annual fraud of over $500 billion in our nation and we are working very hard to stop it we're going to We're 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 [Music] old it lists 3.6 million people from ages 110 to 119 I don't know any of them I Know some people that are rather elderly but not quite that elderly 3.47 million people from ages 120 to 129 3.9 million people from ages 130 to 139 3.5 million people from ages 140 to 149 and money is being paid to many of them and we're searching right now fact Pam good luck good luck you're going to find it 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 and hurts our country country 1.3 million people from ages 150 to 159 and over 13,000 people according to the Social Security databases are age over 160 years old we have a healthier country than I thought Bobby [Music] including to finish 1,039 people between the ages of 220 and 229 one person between the age of 240 and 249 and one person is listed at 360 years of age more than 100 years more than a 100 years
older than our country but we're going to find out where that money'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 [Music] 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 we're going to balance
it [Music] with that goal in mind we have developed In great detail what we are calling the gold card which goes on sale very very soon for $5 million we will allow the most successful job creating people from all over the world to buy a path to US citizenship it's like the green card but better and more sophisticated and these people will have to pay tax in our country they won't have to pay tax from where they came the money that they've made you wouldn't want to do that but 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 be being for 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 binded Administration the open border insane policies
that you've allowed to destroy our country we will now bring in brilliant hardworking job creating people they're going to pay a lot of money and we're going to reduce our debt with that [Music] 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 and any federal bureaucrat who resist this change will be removed from office immediately because we are draining the swamp it's very simple and the days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over [Applause] [Music] [Music] 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 a big favor by by telling you that but I know this group is going to be voting for the [Applause] [Music] TAC thank you it's a very very big part of our plan we had
tremendous success in our first term with it a very big part of our plan we're seeking permanent income tax cuts all across the support and to get urgently needed relief to Americans hit especially hard by inflation I'm calling for no tax on tips no tax on overtime and no tax on Social Security benefits for our great seniors [Applause] [Music] and I also want to make interest payments on car loans tax deductible but only if the car is made in America and by the way we're going to have growth in the Auto industry like Nobody's ever
seen plants are opening up all over the place deals are being made never SE and that's a combination of the election win and tariffs it's a beautiful word isn't it that along with our other policies will allow our Auto industry to absolutely boom it's going to Boom spoke to the majors today all three the top people and they're so excited in fact already numerous car companies have announced that they will be building massive automobile plants in America with Honda just announcing a new plant in Indiana one of the largest anywhere in the [Music] 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 [Music] 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 turn we had a great first [Music] turn 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 one 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 what that's not this one day was cost us a lot of
money but we're going to do it in April I'm a very superstitious person April 2nd reciprocal tariffs kick in and whatever they tariff us other countries we will tariff them that's reciprocal back and forth whatever they tax us we will tax them if they do 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 it was so much money they couldn't do anything about it we have been ripped off for decades by nearly every country On Earth and we will not let that happen any longer [Music] much has been said over the last three months about Mexico and Canada but we have very large deficits with both of them but even more importantly they've allowed fentol to come into our country at levels never seen before killing hundreds of thousands
of our citizens and many very young beautiful people destroying families nobody's ever seen Anything like it they are in effect receiving subsidies of hundreds of billions of dollars we pay subsidies to Canada and to Mexico of hundreds of billions of dollars and the United States will not be doing that any longer we're not going to do it any longer thanks to our America First policies we're putting into place we have had 1 Point . 7 trillion doll 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$2 200 billion investment open Ai and Oracle Larry Ellison announced $500 billion doll investment which they wouldn't have done if Kamala had won Apple announced $500 billion investment Tim Cook called me he said I cannot spend it fast enough it's going to be much higher than that I believe they'll Be building their plants here instead of in China and just yesterday Taiwan semiconductor the biggest in the world most powerful in the world has a tremendous amount 97% of the market announced
a 16 5 billion investment to build the most powerful chips on earth right here in the USA and we're not giving them any money your chips sack is a horrible horrible thing we give hundreds of billions of dollars and it doesn't mean a thing they Take our money and they don't spend it all the meant to them we're giving them no money all that was important to them was they didn't want to pay the Tariff so they came in their building and many other companies are coming we don't have to give them money we just
want to protect our businesses and our people and they will come because they won't have to pay tariffs if they build in America so it's very amazing you should get rid of the chip act and whatever is Left over Mr Speaker you should use it to reduce debt or any other reason you want to [Music] our new trade policy will also be great for the American Farmer I love the farmer who will now be selling into our home Market the USA because nobody is going to be able to compete with you because those goods that
come in from other comp countries and companies They're un really really in a bad position in so many different ways they're uninspected they may be very dirty and disgusting and they come in and they pour in and they hurt our American farmers the tariffs will go on Agricultural Product coming into America and our our Farmers starting on April 2nd it may be a little bit of an adjustment period we had that before when I made the deal With China $50 billion of purchases and I said just bear with me and they did they did probably
have to bear with me again and this will be even better that was great the problem with it was that Biden didn't enforce it he didn't enforce it $50 billion of purchases and we were doing great but Biden did not enforce it and it hurt our Farmers but our farmers are going to have a field day right now so to our farmers have a lot of fun I love you too I love You too all going to [Music] 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 we don't have a military and frankly won't have we just won't have a country very long here today is a proud American Steel worker fantastic person from decada Alabama Jeff Dinard 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 [Music] Jeff thank
you thank you Jeff stories like Jeffs remind us that Tariffs are not just about protecting American jobs they're about protecting the soul of our country tariffs are about making America Rich again and making America great again and it's happening and it will happen rather quickly there'll be a little disturbance but we're okay with that it won't be much no you're not oh and look and look where Biden took us Very low the lowest we've ever been Jeff I want to thank you very much and I also want to recognize another person who is devoted herself

should have it we want to be protected and we're going to protect our Citizens like never before to boost our defense industrial base we are also going to resurrect the American ship building industry including commercial ship building and military ship building and for that purpose I am announcing tonight that we will create a new office of ship building in the White House and offer special tax incentives to bring this industry home to America where belongs we used to make so many Ships we don't make them anymore very much but we're going to make them very
fast very soon it will have a huge impact to further enhance our national security my Administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal and we've already started doing it just today a large American company announced they are buying both ports around the Panama Canal and lots of other things having to do with the Panama Canal and a couple of other Canals the Panama Canal was built by Americans for Americans not for others but others could use it but it was built a tremendous cost of American blood and treasure 38,000 workers died building the Panama Canal they
died of malaria they died of snake B fs and mosquitoes not a nice place to work they paid them very highly to go there knowing there was a 25% chance that they would die the most expensive project also that was ever built in our country's history if You bring it up to modern-day costs it was given away by The Carter Administration for $1 but that agreement has been violated very severely we didn't give it to China we gave it to Panama we're taking it back and we have Marco Rubio in charge good luck Marco now
we know who to blame if anything goes wrong oh Marco has been amazing and he's going to do a great job think of it he Got a 100 votes you know he was approved with actually 99 but the 100th was this gentleman and I feel very certain so let's assume he got 100 votes and I'm either very very happy about that or I'm very concerned about it but he's already proven I mean he's a great gentleman he's respected by everybody and we appreciate your voting for Marco he's going to do a fantastic job thank you

make you rich and together we will take Greenland to Heights like you have never thought possible before it's a very small population but very very large piece of land and very very important for military security America is once again standing strong against the forces Of radical Islamic terrorism 3 and A2 years ago Isis terrorists killed 13 American Service members and countless others in the abig gate bombing during the disastrous and incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan not that they were withdrawing it was the way they withdrew perhaps the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country
tonight I am pleased to announce that we have just apprehended the top terrorist responsible for that Atrocity and he is right now on his way here to face the Swift sword of American Justice [Applause] and I want to thank especially the government of Pakistan for helping arrest this monster this was a very momentous day for those 13 families who I actually got to know very well most of them whose children were murdered and the many people that were so badly over 42 people So badly injured on that fateful day in Afghanistan what a horrible day
such incompetence 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 and they were all in our hearts tonight I 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 a Abraham MTS 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 [Applause] anything do you want to keep it going for another five years yeah yeah you you would say pocah Hunter says yes 2,000 people are being killed every single week more than That they're Russian young people they're Ukrainian young people they're not Americans but I wanted
to stop meanwhile Europe has 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 for buying Russian oil and gas than they have defending and we've spent perhaps $350 billion like taking candy from a baby that's what happened and they've spent a Hundred billion doll 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 happened Biden has authorized more money in this fight then
Europe has spent by billions and billions of dollars it's hard to believe that they wouldn't have stopped it and said at some point Come On Let's equalize you got to be equal to us but that didn't happen earlier today I received an important letter from president zalinsky 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 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 wouldn't that be beautiful it's time to stop this madness it's time To Halt The Killing it's time to end the senseless War
if you want to end Wars you have to talk to both sides nearly four years ago amid Rising tensions a history teacher named Mark Fogle was detained in Russia and sentenced to 14 years in a penal colony rough stuff the previous administration lifted a finger to help him they knew he was innocent but they had no idea where to begin but last summer I promised his 95-year-old mother Maline that we would bring her boy safely back home after 22 days in office I did just that and they are here tonight w 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 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

and shielded them from the bullets with his own body Corey was hit really hard you know the story from there he sacrificed his life to save theirs two others very fine people were also seriously hit but thankfully with the help of two great country doctors we thought they were gone and they were saved so those doctors had great talent We're joined by Corey's wife Helen who was his high school sweetheart and their two beloved daughters Allison and Kaylee thank you [Applause] to Helen Allison and Kaye Corey is looking down on his three beautiful ladies right
