1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: The Michael Berry Show earlier this week, I welcome to

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: the Saturday Bonus Podcast. By the way, earlier this week,

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: I spoke about President Trump's commencement address at the University

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: of Alabama. What a great honor for them, and did

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: he ever seize the moment?

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: It was?

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: It was incredible, It was just incredible. Esquire Magazine would

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: have you believe that he treated the graduates to talk

9
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: of a trophy wife and mocked transgender athletes, and it

10
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: was complete lunacy. That's what Esquire Magazine's Charles P. Pierce wrote.

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: Because Charles P. Pierce is out of touch and he

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: cannot stand boy, that jealousy will get you jealousy. It's

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: a bitter, bitter thing. It'll make people do crazy things,

14
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: he wrote. The President went down to the University of

15
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: Alabama on Thursday night to deliver the commencement address. It

16
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: was not a event. It was a performance of complete lunacy,

17
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: one of the worst things that campus has seen since

18
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: George Wallace stood in the schoolhouse door back in nineteen

19
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: sixty three. He did caution the graduates not to behave

20
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: like victims, and he did not immediately burst into flames.

21
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: There is no.

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 3: God.

23
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: Well, we decided to post the entire speech as our

24
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: Saturday bonus podcast because not only is that not true,

25
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: it's one of the finest commencement addresses I've ever heard,

26
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: not because of the flowery language you see the Charles P. Pierces.

27
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: What have you believe? That what we need is another general,

28
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: our Secretary of State.

29
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: Telling the graduates in the most august terms that the

30
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: future is yours and America must preserve a place in

31
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: the world it is safe for all, while.

32
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: Sending somebody's graduates off to die in war, and while

33
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: bringing people from third world countries to this country to

34
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: rape their wives and mothers and daughters, to traffic children.

35
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: And drugs, but to do it in a very solemn manner.

36
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: Because that's what has been done for a very long time.

37
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: But Americans know better now, and so without further ado,

38
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: And by the way, if you enjoy this speech or

39
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: have some ideas on bonus podcasts for Saturdays, send me

44
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: further adieu, President Trump at the University of Alabama, the

45
00:02:47,720 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: full commencement address in all it's glory.

46
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: Thank you, coach. What a nice looking group. This is

47
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 3: what a beautiful group of people, and especially a very

48
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 3: big hello to the University of Alabama. Congratulations to the

49
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 3: class of twenty twenty five. Roll Tide, Roll Tide. There

50
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: are things that happen in life that are very important,

51
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 3: and you always remember where you were when they happened.

52
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 3: As a student at Alabama. You'll always remember where you

53
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 3: were when you're head coach Nick Saban retired, remember that

54
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 3: because he's done such a fantastic job. The last time

55
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 3: I was here, and that's true with Nick, what a

56
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: great coach. Let's bring him back. No, you have a

57
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: good coach right now. Though I have a good coach

58
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 3: right now. It was great. But the last time I

59
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 3: was here, the Crimson Tide beat the Georgia Bulldogs forty

60
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: one to thirty two. I was here, I got to

61
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: watch it. It was some game. Today, it's my pleasure to

62
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: return to this campus as the first president ever to

63
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: deliver the keynote commencement address to this truly great American University.

64
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 3: It's a great school and there's nowhere i'd rather be

65
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: than right here in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Tidletown, USA. That's what

66
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: it's become. And I love this place. Maybe it's because

67
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: I won Alabama by forty five points? Could that be

68
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: the les in forty five? You know the way they say,

69
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: you like the polls have closed in Alabama. Trump has

70
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: won Alabama immediately. It was very quick. It was very

71
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: very quick and nasty. That's what we like. They put

72
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 3: all seven of your commencement ceremonies. I don't know if

73
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 3: you know this, but they put them all together first

74
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: time ever. So I better do well or I'm in

75
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 3: big trouble. But I want to thank President Bell for

76
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 3: his ten years of distinguished service. Highly respected gentlemen, but

77
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: ten years of service to this great university overseeing the

78
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 3: education of one hundred thousand proud Alabama graduates had something

79
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 3: to have on your record. I also want to thank

80
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 3: Alabama Governor k Ivy, who's here with us, and she's

81
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 3: a fantastic water is she yours? She's around here someplace,

82
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 3: she's here. I just took a picture. I said, you're

83
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 3: doing a great job. Along with the very wonderful man

84
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: a friend of mine, Senator Tommy Tuberville. Where's Tommy Tommy's

85
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 3: When he wanted to run for the Senate, you know,

86
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: I said, well, you beat Alabama six times in a row,

87
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 3: how can you run for the Senate? He said, well,

88
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: I just look at him and say, well, I was

89
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 3: responsible for them getting Nick Saban. I said, that's a

90
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: good reason. And he won very easily. He won, but

91
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: I'll never forget that. Thanks also to a wonderful person,

92
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 3: Representative Lisa McLain, a great person, great highly respected Gary Palmer,

97
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 3: the University of Alabama Board of Trustees. But most importantly,

98
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 3: and they would agree with this, let's give a big

99
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 3: round of applause to your incredible parent, grandparents, and family

100
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: members because they made this wonderful day possible. Oh yeah,

101
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 3: great without them. It doesn't happen without them. You probably

102
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 3: aren't here, and you wouldn't have that big, beautiful smile

103
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 3: in your faces. This year, the graduating Alabama class of

104
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five has over six thousand, six hundred graduates.

105
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 3: You're the largest class in school history. Among your ranks

106
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 3: are among the eight hundred first generation college students and

107
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 3: nearly three thousand students from right here in the great

108
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 3: state of Alabama. Amazing. And this class also includes many

109
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 3: Rhodes Scholars, gold Water Scholars, two hundred and thirteen Merit Scholars,

110
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: and over fifteen hundred students graduating with caps. You know

111
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 3: what that signifies. Four point zero GPA. That's a lot

112
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: of students, a lot of students. That's pretty good. I

113
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 3: know I'd pick I'd look for a red cap. I said,

114
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 3: I want you to work for the beautiful Trump administration,

115
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 3: this lovely administration. In addition, the class of twenty twenty

116
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 3: five is nearly one hundred and thirty active duty service members, veterans,

117
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 3: and members of the University of Alabama rot S. Thank

118
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 3: you very much. Thank you. Everywhere you look you can

119
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 3: see the fierce spirit of this school, but nowhere more

120
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 3: clearly than in your world. Class athletics is nothing like it.

121
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 3: Probably there's no school like it. That's why I would

122
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: like to recognize the eleven graduating seniors on the University

123
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: Alabama football team. Where may they be? Where are they?

124
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 3: You just have to look and they're a better foot

125
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: taller than everybody else. Oh great, thank you very much. Congratulations.

126
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 3: Great season, Thank you, thank you, great season. There is

127
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 3: something truly special about the players, coaches, and the fans

128
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 3: who packed the stands at Brian Denny Stadium and proudly

129
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 3: seeing Dixie Land delight. We like that Alabama has changed

130
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 3: college football forever and inscribed into the history books the

131
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 3: names of Bear Bryant, Joe Namath, four Heisman Trophy winners,

132
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 3: and of course the great Nick Saban. This place is

133
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 3: truly where legends are made. It really is. It's a

134
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: special place. When your president called, we talked about it.

135
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 3: It took me about two seconds to say, algo, I

136
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 3: wasn't looking to do it. And we are busy. You know,

137
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 3: we're winning a lot of battles right now. We love winning,

138
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 3: don't we love winning. We're winning a lot of battle

139
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 3: But I wanted to do this for the University of Alabama.

140
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 3: Good isn't good enough? Tough isn't tough enough, and great

141
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 3: isn't great enough. The Crimson Tide does not rest, does

142
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 3: not quit, and does not stop winning until it's all time.

143
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 3: You know it's all time. You're always winning and you're

144
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 3: going to keep winning. That's why the University of Alabama

145
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 3: football team has won more games in the last decade

146
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 3: than any college football team in America. That's not bad,

147
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 3: and it's why I last fall, you beat Auburn for

148
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 3: the fifth year in a row. That's still not going.

149
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 3: That's not The University of Alabama has a brand, and

150
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 3: that brand is winning. That brand is winning. A great school.

151
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 3: Last year, the Crimson Chaos watched the Tied Hoops make

152
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 3: it to the Final Four for the first time ever.

153
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 3: And this year you built on your incredible record and

154
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 3: returned to the Elite Eight. So not only is Alabama

155
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 3: or great football school, it's now one of the nation's

156
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 3: best basketball schools. And congratulations, And I love sports, and

157
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 3: I think I should have come here. I think I

158
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 3: should have come here. Congratulations as well to the women's

159
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 3: track and field team for winning two SEC titles this year.

160
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 3: That's something. As long and as long as I'm president,

161
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: we will always protect women's sports.

162
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 4: Men will not play in women's sports.

163
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 3: No way. They say that it's an eighty twenty issue.

164
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 3: Know it's a ninety seven to three issue. I think

165
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 3: now men will not be playing in women's sports. I

166
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: said that, and I classified it with a very powerful

167
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 3: executive order. As you know, it's done. The class of

168
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five was the first to enter the halls

169
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 3: of this university and the aftermath of COVID nineteen. Following

170
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 3: a difficult senior year of high school, many of you

171
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: came here to Tuscaloosa from around the country and for

172
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 3: the very first time you experienced something called freedom. You

173
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 3: had freedom. So let's give a big round of applause

174
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 3: to the leaders of the state who chose liberty over lockdowns.

175
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 3: They did did they did do a good job. As

176
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 3: you know, there are a few campuses in the world

177
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 3: more beautiful than this one, and there are a few

178
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 3: memories sweeter than the ones you have formed. Really at

179
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 3: this capstone, and at the capstone you'll miss the beautiful

180
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: sounds of deady chimes, the excitement of lining the Walk

181
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 3: of Champions, the Saturday tailgates at the quad. As you graduate,

182
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: it's natural to reflect on four years of happy memories.

183
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 3: And you've really had happy memories here. You've done a

184
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 3: lot of winning. Winning is a good thing to do.

185
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 3: But today I'm also asking you to look forward to

186
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 3: really something very very bright and more promising. And it's

187
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 3: going to be an even more promising tomorrow. I promise

188
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: you that you're the first graduating class of the Golden

189
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 3: Age of America. We're in the Golden Age. You watch

190
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 3: it's the Golden eighte This is the Golden Age. We've

191
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 3: done things that nobody thought possible one hundred days yesterday,

192
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 3: one hundred days, and we've done things that nobody thought

193
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: even possible. Like many generations before you, you're graduating at

194
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 3: an exciting time for our nation, a period of both

195
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: extraordinary change and incredible potential and what will be unbelievable growth.

196
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 3: You're going to see that very soon. You're going to

197
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 3: see it starting very very soon. The whole world is

198
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 3: talking about it. Our country has always been defined by

199
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 3: its ability to reform and reinvent itself to meet the

200
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 3: challenges of the next era. The last four years were

201
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 3: not good for our country, but don't let that scare you.

202
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 3: It was an aberration we're run by people who truly,

203
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 3: at that time four years we were run by people

204
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 3: that didn't have a clue. They didn't have a clue,

205
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 3: and I'm trying to be nice when I say it

206
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 3: that way. They allowed our beautiful USA to be laughed at, scorned,

207
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 3: and taken advantage of by everybody. We were ripped off

208
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 3: on trade by nations all over the world, both friend

209
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 3: and foe, and oftentimes a friend was far worse on

210
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: trade than the foe. But those days are over. You're

211
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 3: at the start of something very, very big. You're going

212
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 3: to see that very soon. Now, exactly two hundred and

213
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 3: fifty years after the first Patriots stood and fought at

214
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 3: Lexington and Concord, we're in the midst of another kind

215
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 3: of revolution, a revolution of winning and a revolution of

216
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 3: common sense. Common sense. Everywhere you look, broken systems, corrupt institutions,

217
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 3: and tired dogmas are being swept away by the tide

218
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 3: of history. Ancient wisdom is being discovered, and the best

219
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 3: and strongest traits of America are coming back for all

220
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 3: to see, bigger, better, and greater than ever coming back,

221
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 3: and they're coming back fast. The spirit of our age

222
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 3: is one of boldness, bigor ambition and adventure, and it's

223
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 3: exciting to be you and young. Oh, I'd pay you

224
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 3: a lot of money to have your age. You have

225
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 3: a great future. The people have rejected the voices of

226
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 3: a failed establishment. You saw that in the election. We've

227
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 3: turned the page on endless wars, crippling debt, open borders,

228
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 3: ruinous inflation, and the lack of respect for our country

229
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 3: and for its leaders. But we're turning that all around,

230
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 3: and we're turning it around very fast. We will very

231
00:17:45,119 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 3: quickly make America great again. This week, we're celebrating the

232
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 3: most successful first one hundred days of any presidential administration

233
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 3: in the history of our country. And we've been given

234
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 3: a lot of credit for that. But one hundred days

235
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 3: does not a full term make. But we're going to

236
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 3: do even better as we move along. In a matter

237
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 3: of weeks, we've achieved the lowest number of illegal border

238
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 3: crossings ever recorded, and you've seen it, hundreds of thousands

239
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 3: of people pouring into our country from prisons, from mental institutions,

240
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,239
Speaker 3: from gangs, and all over the world, not just in

241
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 3: South America. You'd see hundreds of thousands of people poor

242
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 3: across in one day, you know, what we had just

243
00:18:51,400 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 3: recently three three three, and we slashed the number of

244
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 3: illegal aliens released into the United States by ninety nine

245
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 3: point nine nine nine percent. And you know, if that

246
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 3: number is wrong, the fake news, which is all over

247
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 3: the place today, is going to be correcting me before

248
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 3: I get to the next end. Now, ninety nine point

249
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 3: nine nine nine percent. How about that. Nobody thought that

250
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 3: was possible. They said you needed legislation. No, you just

251
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 3: needed a new president. That's what you needed. But despite

252
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 3: the tremendous success, as you've been reading, the courts are

253
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 3: trying to stop me from doing the job that I

254
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 3: was elected to do. We won by millions of votes.

255
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 3: We won all seven swing states, seven out of seven.

256
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 3: We won three hundred and twelve electoral college votes. They said, oh,

257
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 3: two seventy would be great. We won three hundred and

258
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 3: twelve and two thousand, seven one hundred and fifty counties

259
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 3: versus five hundred and twenty five counties throughout the nation.

260
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 3: That's why when you look at a map, it's all red.

261
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 3: It's all red. Every inch of it is red. A

262
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 3: little couple of blue dots. But they have to let

263
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 3: us do the job that the voters want us to do.

264
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 3: Judges are interfering supposedly based on due process. But how

265
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 3: can you give due process to people who came into

266
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 3: our country illegally? They want to give them due process.

267
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 3: I don't know. We've created three hundred and fifty thousand

268
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 3: new jobs and brought core inflation down to its lowest

269
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 3: level in many, many years. Energy is down. Look at

270
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 3: your costs of energy way down. Groceries are down, even

271
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 3: eggs are down. Remember I came in. Remember I was

272
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 3: here a week and they started screaming me the fake news.

273
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,239
Speaker 3: Egg prices have doubled. I said, they just got here.

274
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 3: I've been here for four days. I said, tell me

275
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 3: about egg prices. They dive doubled. Well, they didn't double

276
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 3: under me. I just got there, and we did a

277
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 3: great job. We brought down the cost of eggs. In fact,

278
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 3: they said you won't have eggs for Easter. They wanted

279
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 3: to get We have a big Easter egg hunt at

280
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,479
Speaker 3: the White House. You saw it just take place. And

281
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 3: they thought we should order thousands of plastic eggs. Plastic.

282
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 3: They said, no, we'll do it, and we straightened out

283
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 3: the egg situation very quickly. Our great Secretary of agriculture

284
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 3: did a fantastic job. And we had so many eggs

285
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 3: we didn't know what the hell to do with them.

286
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 3: And prices of eggs have gone down eighty seven percent

287
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 3: since I took office at sub play.

288
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 5: Right, But the price of food has gone down, and

289
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 5: mortgage rates are down, and gasoline prices just hit one.

290
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 3: Dollar and eighty eight cents a gallon in three states.

291
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 3: Can you believe it? It was at three point fifty,

292
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 3: it was at for we're drilling. Oh, we're drilling, you know,

293
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 3: Drill baby drill, right, drill baby, drill. We do that.

294
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 3: We get it down. We have it going good. And

295
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 3: you know, when energy drops that much, you don't have

296
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 3: much inflation, So I to have inflation. It was just

297
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 3: announced that in the first quarter, investments in the United

298
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 3: States are up twenty two percent, that we're leading the

299
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 3: whole world and investment. Everybody's pouring into our country with

300
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 3: big dollars. And it's all about November fifth, November fifth

301
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 3: election and tariffs and incentives that we've given that are

302
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 3: going to make this country so much richer. We have

303
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 3: thirty six trillion dollars in debt that's going to start

304
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 3: to come off it's going to come off rapidly, but

305
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,479
Speaker 3: we'll be over eight trillion dollars in investment, with Apple

306
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 3: and others investing five hundred billion dollars each. We've never

307
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: had a period of time in two months, because we're

308
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 3: here for three months a little bit more. But give

309
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:53,959
Speaker 3: me a break for the first month, you know, how

310
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 3: to get a little acclimated. Had to see where the

311
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 3: enemy lies because they're already looking to impeach Trump. You know,

312
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 3: these crazy but let's impeach them for what. We don't

313
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 3: know exactly, but we'll these people are crazy. So we

314
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 3: had to, you know, get our bearings for the first

315
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 3: couple of weeks. So in two months, we had over

316
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 3: eight trillion dollars. Think of it, committed. Nobody's ever seen

317
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,719
Speaker 3: anything like it. There's never been anything like it in

318
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 3: any country at any time. And it's all because they

319
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 3: want to avoid the tariffs. We want to get here fast.

320
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 3: And I said, you know, number of times tariff, it's

321
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 3: the most beautiful word in the world. And I got

322
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 3: absolutely decimated by the fake news. They said, what about love?

323
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 3: What about your wife? What about your parents? What about

324
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 3: religion and God? So I said, all right, it's the

325
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,959
Speaker 3: fifth nicest word I've ever seen. And since I've done that,

326
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 3: I've been in good shape. Nobody's bothered me. They've been

327
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 3: very nice. So it's the fifth most beautiful word I've

328
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 3: ever heard. But it's making us very rich, and you'll

329
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 3: be seeing the results pretty soon, sooner than most people think,

330
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 3: because that's what other countries have been doing to us.

331
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 3: Just so you understand, they were tariffing the hell out

332
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 3: of us. We couldn't sell cars in Europe, we couldn't

333
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 3: sell cars in China, we couldn't sell cars in Japan

334
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 3: or anywhere else. We couldn't do anything. And all we're

335
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 3: doing is we're doing it to them. But we're doing

336
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 3: it much better. And the US military is suddenly seeing

337
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 3: its best recruiting numbers ever. We've never had numbers like that.

338
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 3: We now have waiting lists because there is such incredible

339
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 3: spirit in our country. There's a great spirit. And just

340
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 3: think six months ago, and you remembered, it was embarrassing

341
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 3: before the election. Six months ago, we were hearing and

342
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 3: reading that numbers of those joining our military were at

343
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 3: the worst levels ever. We've never had anything like it, right,

344
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 3: you remember that, And now they're at the best levels ever.

345
00:24:53,200 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 3: We have waiting lists to get into the military. We

346
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 3: couldn't fill the positions, and that included in our police forces,

347
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 3: our fire departments. We love our fire departments also. We

348
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 3: can never forget our fire departments. But our police forces

349
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 3: were begging for help. And now they're brimming over with

350
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: people and applicants and they're getting great ones. It's amazing

351
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 3: what's taken place. And that's really the spirit each of

352
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 3: the graduates in this arena. We'll soon have the chance

353
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 3: to help lead this project of national renewal, and that's

354
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 3: what it is. It's a national renewal. We suffered so

355
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 3: badly for four years. We had one of the greatest economies.

356
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 3: We actually had the greatest economy in the history of

357
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 3: our country during the first term of Trump, and then

358
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 3: we got hit hard with inflation during the Biden economy.

359
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 3: It was horrible. We were hit so hard, the worst

360
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 3: probably ever. They say forty eight years. We'll accept that,

361
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 3: but I would say, ever, you'll embrace this moment and

362
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 3: you'll step forward with strength and grit, faith and patriotism

363
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 3: to put America on a new trajectory for your children.

364
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 3: And then you'll take your place among the greatest generations

365
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 3: in the history of our country. I think you have

366
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 3: a chance to be the greatest generation in the history

367
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 3: of our country because we're turning it around and you

368
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 3: happen to be available. You're available. That's a good time

369
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 3: to be available. There is sometimes when it's not so

370
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 3: good to be available, but this is a great time.

371
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 3: I'm absolutely confident that the Alabama class of twenty twenty

372
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 3: five is up to the task. Are you up to

373
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 3: the task? You learned a lot about winning here in Alabama,

374
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 3: and now we need you to help win for America.

375
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 3: For the business majors here today, I challenge you not

376
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 3: merely to use your talents for financial speculation, but to

377
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 3: apply your great skills that you've learned and had to

378
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 3: forging the steel and pouring the concrete of new American factories, plants, shipyards,

379
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 3: and even cities which are going up all over our country.

380
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 3: Don't just build a strong portfolio, build a very, very

381
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 3: strong America. And you've got to do that to the engineers,

382
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 3: brilliant you are technicians, scientists, and math majors. We need

383
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 3: your Alabama spirit and competition to keep our country at

384
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 3: the forefront of every single domain America should have the

385
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 3: world's tallest buildings, designed the fastest aeroplanes, build the greatest cars,

386
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 3: do everything the absolute best, better than any other nation

387
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 3: in the world. And you can do it, and we

388
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,719
Speaker 3: will soon land American astronauts on Mars. That will happen.

389
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 3: That will happen. In every field you have studied, there

390
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 3: are problems to be solved and breakthroughs to be made

391
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 3: to the journalism majors, of which I've had a lot

392
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 3: of problems with it. So I must be honest. I'm

393
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 3: not sure I like them, No I do. I do,

394
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 3: but you're really leading of everything. Because we need a

395
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 3: great and free press. We need a brilliant press. They're

396
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 3: like a watchkeeper. They're very important, and you can go

397
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 3: out and take it down a new track. Help save

398
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 3: the country. So important. Your task is so important, and

399
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 3: it's to build a media that Americans can trust and

400
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 3: remember the people of this country they know the truth

401
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 3: when they hear it. That's why the ratings the approval

402
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 3: numbers of the media. So we need those ratings to

403
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 3: be one hundred percent. We have to be able to

404
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 3: trust our media. They say you have to have that.

405
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 3: You need strong, strong borders, and you need really free, fair,

406
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 3: clean elections. You need those things, But the media is

407
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 3: a big part of it. In the world of health

408
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 3: and medicine, there is an exciting new movement to get

409
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 3: poisons out of our food supply, keep toxins out of

410
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 3: our government, clean out our environment, and make America healthy again.

411
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 3: And I think Bobby's going to do a great job,

412
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 3: don't you. I think so. I think he's the guy

413
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 3: we needed. And in government, it is the task of

414
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 3: your generation to replace bureaucracy, graft, and waste with a

415
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 3: new system that defends American freedom. These are big tasks

416
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 3: before you, but the reward for your hard work will

417
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 3: be the United States of America is stronger, prouder, better,

418
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 3: and more unified than ever ever, ever before. It's going

419
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 3: to be as you embark on this great adventure. Let

420
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 3: me share some of the biggest lessons I've learned from

421
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 3: a lifetime spent building dreams and beating the odds. I

422
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 3: beat a lot of odds, a lot of odds. A

423
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 3: lot of people said, I don't know, but it worked out. Okay,

424
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 3: where are we? Ohee? I'm president? How did that happen?

425
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 3: Now you're going to be in the same position, but

426
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 3: some of the would you like to hear some of

427
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 3: the ideas or should just skip over that part? Huh,

428
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 3: that's going to be more interesting than all the other

429
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 3: stuff which was slightly political. Right. I'm going to give

430
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 3: it to you though, just as I see it and

431
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 3: as I've learned it, the hard way and the easy way. First,

432
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 3: if you're here today and think that you're too young

433
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 3: to do something great, let me tell you that you

434
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 3: are wrong. You're not too young. You can have great

435
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 3: success at a very young age. You're all very young

436
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 3: in America. With drive and ambition, young people can do anything.

437
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 3: I was twenty eight when I took my first big

438
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 3: gamble to develop a hotel in midtown Manhattan to Grand Hyatt,

439
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 3: and it worked out incredibly well. But I was very

440
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 3: young at the time. I was like a very young

441
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 3: person in sort of an old person business. Steve Jobs

442
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 3: was twenty one when he founded Apple. Walt Disney was

443
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 3: twenty one when he founded Disney. James Madison, James Monroe,

444
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 3: Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, they were no older than twenty

445
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 3: five when they began the journeys that etched their names

446
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 3: into the history books for all time. So to everyone

447
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 3: here today, don't waste your youth. Go out and fight

448
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 3: right from the beginning, from the day you leave this

449
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 3: incredible university. Go out and fight, Fight tough, fight fair,

450
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 3: but go out and fight. You're going to be very

451
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 3: successful because now is the time to work harder than

452
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 3: you have ever worked before, Push yourself further than you

453
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 3: have ever pushed yourself before, find your limits, and then

454
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 3: smash through everything. Go and smash through. You've watched that

455
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 3: football team smash through. You're going to do the same thing.

456
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 3: You're at the age when you have the time and

457
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,479
Speaker 3: vitality to do really incredible things. If you give, just

458
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 3: give it your all. You'll look back and a decade

459
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 3: from now you'll be astounded by what you've achieved. You'll

460
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,719
Speaker 3: remember this day. You remember when the guy named Trump

461
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 3: was giving the commencement that address, and he said, I

462
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 3: could do it, and guess what I did. I think

463
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 3: you're going to remember that very fondly, I hope so.

464
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 3: Second of all, and very importantly, you have to love

465
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 3: what you do, Okay, you have to. I rarely see

466
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 3: somebody that's successful that doesn't love what he or she does.

467
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 3: That's way he really like work isn't work. It's fun.

468
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 3: It's I find it fun. I work all the time,

469
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 3: and I find it fun. If I didn't find it fun,

470
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be successful, whether it was real estate or

471
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 3: or in show biz. I had a lot of different careers,

472
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 3: but I loved real estate so much, and I was

473
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 3: very successful at real estate because I loved it. I

474
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 3: learned a lot from my father because I watched him work.

475
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 3: He worked seven He was a workaholic. He worked, he

476
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 3: loved to work. It's a good man. He was a

477
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 3: tough guy, tough as hell. Actually, now that I think back,

478
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if you could even get away with

479
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 3: that nowadays. He was tough, but he was a good man,

480
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 3: I'll tell you. And he worked seven days a week.

481
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 3: He works Saturday Sundays. It didn't matter. And I learned

482
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 3: by watching him. He loved his life. He loved what

483
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 3: he was doing at a great long term marriage, a long, long,

484
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 3: many many many years. He beat me on that one.

485
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 3: Now I'm minded very successful, but they Kevin lasted quite

486
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 3: as long it was. It was close to seventy years.

487
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 3: Was a long time, said Pop. You beat me on

488
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 3: that one, But you know what I learned from him

489
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 3: that he just he loved life and all he did

490
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 3: was work. I see people that don't work hard and

491
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 3: they're miserable, So go out and find But he loved

492
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 3: what he was doing. And you have to find something

493
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 3: that you love, and you have to follow your own instincts.

494
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 3: Listen to your parents are very wise, but you have

495
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 3: to follow your instincts and your heart, your soul, and

496
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 3: you want to be the very very best you can be.

497
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 3: Treat every day like a home game against orburn fight

498
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 3: like hell, and enjoy doing it. And your coach can

499
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 3: tell you all about that. Third thing is to think big.

500
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 3: You know you're going to do something, you might as

501
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 3: well think big because it's just as tough you can

502
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 3: think small. I know a lot of people they thought small.

503
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 3: They're very smart. I know others that weren't nearly as smart,

504
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 3: but they had a better picture of the big picture.

505
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 3: Because it's just as hard to solve a small problem

506
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 3: as a big problem, and it's just as much energy

507
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 3: everything else, except the result is going to be a

508
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 3: smaller one. So love what you do, but think big

509
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 3: if it's possible. Now if it's not possible, that's okay too.

510
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,919
Speaker 3: You do something, you have to do something that you love,

511
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 3: you will have all the same headaches and challenges, all

512
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 3: the same delays and setback, So you might as well

513
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 3: do something that's just amazing. America doesn't aim small. Alabama

514
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 3: doesn't aim small, and neither do you. So think big

515
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 3: when possible, think big. Fourth is work hard, work hard,

516
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 3: never ever stop. An example is a great athlete, actually

517
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 3: Gary player, golfer, great great golfer. He wasn't as big

518
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 3: as other men. He was actually on the small side.

519
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 3: Don't tell him that, friend of mine. Don't tell him

520
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 3: that because he doesn't understand that. But he worked very,

521
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 3: very hard. He made up for it. He never stopped.

522
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 3: He won one hundred and sixty eight golf tournaments. Think

523
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 3: of that one hundred. I said, Gary, you're winning like

524
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 3: every weekend. Do you have a choke or anything. I

525
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 3: don't know what joke means. And he made a statement

526
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 3: years ago that I read and I thought it was

527
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 3: sort of an incredible statement. He said, It's funny, the

528
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 3: harder I work, the luckier I get. Right, Think of

529
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 3: the harder I work, the luckier I get. So you

530
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 3: really have to work hard and you're going to be

531
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 3: successful because you have the talent. To get into this

532
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 3: school is not easy to get through. It is even

533
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 3: more difficult you have a lot of talent. Fifth is,

534
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 3: don't lose your momentum. You just want to keep it going.

535
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 3: And you have to know if you are losing it.

536
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 3: You have to know when you're losing it. So maybe

537
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 3: you stop, and maybe it's time to stop. Listen to

538
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 3: the feedback, think through your plan very carefully, and keep

539
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 3: moving fast. The word momentum is very important. I mean,

540
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 3: I'll just tell you a little story about a great

541
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 3: real estate developer named William Levitt. He built Levittown. You

542
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 3: might live in eleven Town. He was the biggest developer

543
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 3: of the whole country in the nineteen forties and so

544
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 3: and he built these jobs. He started with one house,

545
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 3: then two houses, and twenty houses, then thousands and thousands

546
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 3: of houses. And a company, Gulf and Western, came along

547
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 3: and they said, we're going to make you an offer

548
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 3: to buy your company. And they offered him a lot

549
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 3: of money, a lot of money, more money than he

550
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 3: ever thought he could make. And he retired, lost his momentum.

551
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 3: He retired, and he led a beautiful life. He had

552
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,959
Speaker 3: a wife. I must tell you. It was a second wife.

553
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 3: It was a trophy wife. What can I say? I

554
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 3: don't like telling you everything. But we're all friends, right,

555
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 3: can we talk? We're all friends. He had a trophy wife,

556
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 3: and he lived a different life. He moved to the

557
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 3: south of France, but he lived it was a life

558
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 3: of tremendous luxury. He had so many millions of dollars.

559
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 3: He was given a fortune for the company. And ten

560
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 3: years went by, and then fifteen years went by, and

561
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 3: he got a call from this big conglomerate, Gulf in

562
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 3: Western and they said, we're not doing well with the purchase.

563
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 3: Because he used to pick up every nail, every piece

564
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 3: of sawdust, every piece of wood, every chip, everything, and

565
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 3: he'd sell it. It'd make a couple of bucks. Everything

566
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 3: was perfect. They can't do that, you know, these big companies,

567
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 3: they don't do that. You see it a lot when

568
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 3: an entrepreneur sells to a big company and then he

569
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 3: ends up buying the company back for peanuts later on.

570
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 3: Happens a lot. But he was the best at what

571
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 3: he did. But fifteen years went by and he was

572
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 3: so excited, and they sold him back his company and

573
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 3: he started and he was gonna tear apart the world

574
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 3: because he got bored with a life of luxury. And

575
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 3: he started building and building and building, and the markets

576
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 3: turned on him and he went bad. He lost everything,

577
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 3: and he went bankrupt, absolutely bankrupt. And it was a

578
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 3: sad story to read. It was such an amazing because

579
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 3: he was so rich. But he paid them and he

580
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 3: bought it for the right price, bought it low. But

581
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 3: he went wild. But he lost his momentum. He wasn't

582
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,720
Speaker 3: good at it anymore. And he was at a party

583
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 3: on Fifth Avenue I'll never forget. And it was a

584
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 3: party of a very very powerful man was having the

585
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 3: party in a magnificent apartment overlooking the park. And I

586
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 3: walked in and there were fifty or so people I recognized,

587
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 3: most of all the biggest business people in the world,

588
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,959
Speaker 3: actually very glamorous. I was doing well. I was young,

589
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 3: and I was doing well, and I was invited to

590
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 3: parties like that. And I looked in the corner and

591
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 3: there was mister William Levitt sitting all by himself on

592
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 3: a chair, looking very dlum. Nobody was talking to him.

593
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 3: Because you'll find that when you're not successful, you lose

594
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 3: a lot of friends. It's not a good situation. But

595
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 3: there was nobody talking to But I wanted to talk

596
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 3: to him because I was in the real estate business

597
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 3: and he was, and most of these people were in

598
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 3: different businesses. And I went over and talked to him,

599
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 3: and I said, how are you, mister Lovit? He goes donald,

600
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 3: He knew who I was. Not well. I'm not well.

601
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 3: I said, so can you come back? He said, no, son,

602
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 3: I lost my momentum. I shouldn't have done it. I

603
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 3: lost my momentum. And I never forgot that expression. He

604
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 3: lost his momentum. If he would have kept going instead

605
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 3: of selling and relaxing and going into a different life,

606
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 3: he probably would have been three times bigger than he was.

607
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 3: But he lost his momentum. And you have to know

608
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 3: when it's your time. I mean, there'll be a time

609
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 3: when you do lose. You see it with fighters. You

610
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 3: see it with a lot of people. They have a

611
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 3: great record and they retire and then four years later

612
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 3: they say I'm going back. I can beat that guy,

613
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 3: and they get knocked to hell and it's not good.

614
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 3: It's not good. So he lost his momentum. You have

615
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 3: to know when your momentum time is up. I call

616
00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 3: it momentum time. But follow your momentum. Very important word.

617
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 3: You don't hear it from too many, but I've seen it.

618
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 3: I've seen it a lot. Number six. If you want

619
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,240
Speaker 3: to change the world, you have to have the courage

620
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 3: to be an outsider. In other words, you have to

621
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 3: take certain risks and do things a little bit differently. Otherwise,

622
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 3: if that weren't the case, everybody would be successful. Does

623
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 3: it work that way? Progress never comes from those satisfied

624
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 3: with the failures of a broken system. It comes from

625
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 3: those who want to fix the broken system, and you'll

626
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 3: make the bigger money. You'll make them more success by

627
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 3: acting that way. The other way maybe more secure, but

628
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 3: if you want to go to the top, you're just

629
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 3: never going to do it unless you break the system.

630
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 3: Change is never easy, and the closer you get to success,

631
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 3: the more ferociously those with a vested interest in the

632
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 3: past will resist you. They want to resist. So I

633
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 3: just say trust me on that, because I know you

634
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 3: really do. You have to break the system a little

635
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 3: bit and to follow your own instincts. But if your

636
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 3: vision is right, nothing will hold you down. Nothing. You

637
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 3: have to have the right vision. If you look at

638
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 3: some of these Internet people. I know so many of them.

639
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 3: Elon is so terrific. But I know now all of them.

640
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,760
Speaker 3: You know, they all hated me in my first term,

641
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 3: and now they're kissing my ass. You know, General, it's true,

642
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 3: all of them. It's true. It's amazing. It's nicer this

643
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 3: way now. In the first you know, they didn't know

644
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 3: what happened because I won an election. That you know,

645
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 3: there was never a businessman that won a presidential election.

646
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 3: Out of one hundred percent, eight percent were generals and

647
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,879
Speaker 3: ninety two percent were politician, not even admirals, not even

648
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 3: just generals, the eight generals, General Washington, General Grant, Generals,

649
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 3: General eisenh But eight percent were generals and ninety two

650
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:08,959
Speaker 3: percent were politicians. And when I ran, everyone said, well,

651
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 3: I can't win me. He's a businessman. That's not going

652
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 3: to work. And you know, but you have a natural

653
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 3: instinct for things. I guess I had a natural inkage.

654
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 3: I said to somebody, was I a better businessman or politician?

655
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,359
Speaker 3: And they said, well, there are a lot of guys

656
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 3: that made a lot of money, but there's only one

657
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 3: guy that became president that was a businessman. So I

658
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 3: guess you're a better politician. But I don't think of

659
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 3: myself as a politician. I think of myself as a businessman,

660
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 3: and I'm proud of that. And I've applied business instinct

661
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 3: and that's why I think you're seeing us doing so well.

662
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 3: So number seven is to trust your instincts common sense.

663
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 3: You can go very far in life with common sense.

664
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 3: And I applied that to politics because some of these things,

665
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 3: like they had open borders, let everybody in the whole

666
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 3: world flow into our country. That's not common sense. Had

667
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:05,280
Speaker 3: transgender for everybody. We ended that if you noticed, okay,

668
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 3: but they had transgender for everybody. They said, I said,

669
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 3: this is not working. This is not going to work.

670
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 3: As I said before, you know, so simple men playing

671
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 3: in women's sports. Did you ever see some of the records?

672
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 3: Did you ever see some of these boxing matches? You know,

673
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 3: we have to protect these women are great athletes, but

674
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 3: we have to protect. If you looked at the Olympics

675
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 3: where they had transition to people going into the boxing,

676
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 3: where the women had boxing, and they had a great champion,

677
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:42,399
Speaker 3: a female boxer, I mean, after one punch, you walked

678
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 3: back to the corner. So I can't get hit like that.

679
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 3: I've never been hit like that before. You look at

680
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 3: all the volleyball players that have been hurt so badly

681
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 3: with balls that I hit at levels that they've never

682
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 3: seen before. But the greatest is like weightlifting. You ever

683
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 3: see the weightlifting where they have a record that wasn't

684
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 3: broken in eighteen year years and they have should I imitate?

685
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 3: You know, my wife gets very upset when I do this.

686
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 3: She said, it's sir, darling, it's not presidential, and yeah,

687
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 3: but people like it. Should I do it or not?

688
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 3: All right, I'm in trouble when I get home. But

689
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 3: that's okay, what the hell. I've been in lots of

690
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:24,359
Speaker 3: trouble before. But now you look at the weightlifting where

691
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 3: eighteen years it stands, and they have this young woman

692
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:29,919
Speaker 3: and her parents are right where you are in the

693
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 3: front row, and they're so proud of her, and it's

694
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 3: like two hundred and nine pounds and she's gonna lift that.

695
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 3: The record stood for eighteen think of it, eighteen years,

696
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 3: and they put an eighth of announce here and an

697
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 3: eighth of announced here, a little tiny little bit, and

698
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 3: she's gonna do it. Mom, I love you, I'm gonna

699
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 3: do it for you, mom. And she goes and she

700
00:45:53,120 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 3: lives and she gets it. Mom. I'm gonna do it, mom.

701
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 3: Ah canto. And then a guy comes along, or a

702
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 3: gal or whatever, a transitioned person comes along, and he

703
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 3: was a failed weightlifter as a man, but he comes

704
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 3: along two hundred and six pounds. They put the little

705
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 3: thing on and he goes boom boom and breaks a record,

706
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 3: like by one hundred and nineteen pounds. That's that right.

707
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 3: The other one is the swimming. You've heard me talk

708
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 3: about it. Great swimmers, and you know they rose to

709
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 3: the top women swimmers, and they grew up together, and

710
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 3: they are Olympic class swimmers, and they're qualifying for some

711
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,720
Speaker 3: big tournament. And now the race is getting ready to start,

712
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 3: the big race. And the one young lady she was

713
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 3: going to set the record. She fought all her life

714
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 3: to set the record, just to win it by one

715
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 3: one ninth of a second. Think of that one ninth

716
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 3: I don't like those odds. One ninth of a second. Right,

717
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 3: But she looks to the left and she sees all

718
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 3: the friends that she grew up with down in California,

719
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,760
Speaker 3: from all over the country. They were all the best swimmers.

720
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 3: Then she looks to the right and she sees the

721
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 3: same thing. But there's a person next to who's a giant,

722
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 3: and she looks like, who is that? I don't recognize

723
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 3: that person? That was the person that transitioned, and he

724
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,720
Speaker 3: had the wingspan of wilt the stilt Chamberlain, if anybody

725
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:40,439
Speaker 3: knows what And as you know, what happened, she was very,

726
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,879
Speaker 3: very badly injured in that meat because he went by

727
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 3: her so fast that she was windburned. They had to

728
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 3: take her. She got serious windburn He flew back and

729
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 3: forth and back and forth, and she didn't know what,

730
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 3: but she got that hell knocked out of her. Knowing

731
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 3: that I'm only kidding. She wasn't windburned. She was just

732
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 3: beaten a lot. Where the race did you see the

733
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 3: race where they had the best female runners and they

734
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,439
Speaker 3: had a guy who was a decent runner a long

735
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 3: distance race and he won by five hours and nineteen seconds.

736
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 3: You know, normally you win by like twelve seconds two

737
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,280
Speaker 3: seconds a quarter for a secon. He won by five

738
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 3: hours of nineteen seconds. It's crazy, and you know, honestly,

739
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 3: it's demeaning for women, very demeaning. These are great athletes.

740
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 3: It's very demeaning, and we're going to protect women. We're

741
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 3: gonna protect women, We're gonna protect everybody. So now that

742
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 3: I'm in trouble with my wife, I'm going to blame

743
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 3: the University of Alabama asking me to go through with

744
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 3: that stuff. But it's pretty descriptive, isn't it. Really? It

745
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 3: helps when you know that borders are not races, speech

746
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 3: is not violence, America is good. Terrorists are bad, men

747
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 3: can never be women, police are not criminals, and criminals

748
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 3: are not victims. Eighth, everybody should believe, thank you, thank

749
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 3: you very much. Everybody should believe in the American dream.

750
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 3: It's real, it's there, and it's right before you. We're

751
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 3: coming back to the American born night. Think of yourself

752
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 3: as a winner. The power of positive thinking. Doctor Norman

753
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 3: Vincent Peel from many years ago wrote a book The

754
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 3: Power Positive Thinking, and there is a lot to it,

755
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 3: The Power of positive Thinking. Don't consider yourself a victim,

756
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 3: consider yourself a winner. In recent years, too many of

757
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 3: our young people have really been taught to think of

758
00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:01,280
Speaker 3: themselves as victims and blame people and be don't be angry.

759
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 3: But in America, we reject that idea that anyone who

760
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 3: is born a victim. Our heroes are the ones who

761
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 3: take charge of their own destiny, make their own luck,

762
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 3: and determine their own fate despite the odds, despite all odds,

763
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:20,240
Speaker 3: that's what happens. They take Really, they're given a little chance,

764
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 3: in many cases, very little chance of success, and they

765
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 3: become the most successful people in the world. Whether you

766
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,280
Speaker 3: were born rich or poor, black or white, male or female.

767
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 3: In America, anyone can be a winner. And our whole

768
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 3: country will be cheering you on. And I'll be at

769
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 3: the front of the line cheering you on, especially because

770
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 3: you come from this incredible university. And next is to

771
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 3: be an original. The old time greats were people who

772
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 3: had the confidence to be a little different. Teddy Roosevelt,

773
00:50:56,080 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 3: Douglas Magarth, George Patten, Amelia Earhart, Any Oakley, Muhammad Ali,

774
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,839
Speaker 3: and so many others, so many others, far too many

775
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 3: to name, live their lives with pride, personality, and flair.

776
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 3: God only created one of you. Remember that God created

777
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 3: one of you. You're all different summer close, but nobody

778
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 3: is the same. You're one of a kind, So don't

779
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 3: try to be someone else. Just be yourself and Finally,

780
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 3: and most importantly, never ever give up. Never give up,

781
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 3: never give up. And I've learned anything in life, and

782
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 3: it's so true, one of the most important things you

783
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,240
Speaker 3: can learn. If you just went a little bit longer,

784
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 3: if you just held out a little bit longer, you

785
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:53,720
Speaker 3: would have been successful. Of the stories of that are legend.

786
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 3: But I've learned that perseverance is everything. So whatever happens,

787
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 3: no matter where you are life, stay optimistic and just

788
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 3: keep pushing forward. Just don't stop, never ever give up.

789
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 3: Victory is right around the corner. I've watched coach Saban

790
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 3: win games that really were virtually over. You've seen it,

791
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,240
Speaker 3: you've been in the stands. He won a couple of games.

792
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 3: I said, Coach, you got lucky as hell. He said,

793
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 3: I didn't get lucky. I'm a talented guy, you know,

794
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 3: those little touchdowns that come out of nothing. He's amazing.

795
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 3: But he's a guy that doesn't quit and doesn't know

796
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 3: what the word quit even means. He couldn't define it.

797
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 3: He took victory out of the jaws of defeat. And

798
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 3: you can do that too. At every stage in my career.

799
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 3: My enemies, of which there were many and probably are

800
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,280
Speaker 3: right now. I can think of a couple of people

801
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 3: that don't like me too much right now. But they

802
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 3: said that they have to do everything they can to

803
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 3: keep me from winning, to keep me from making it.

804
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 3: And I'm representing you, so I have to make it.

805
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 3: I have big shoulders, but these are big shoulders. I

806
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 3: have to win for you. I'm not winning for myself.

807
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 3: I'm winning for you. Do you remember when they said

808
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 3: that Donald Trump will never become president of the United States?

809
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:13,720
Speaker 3: Remember Barackussein Obama said that Barack Cussein Obama, Donald Trump

810
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 3: will never be president. Like fifty other politicians said that

811
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 3: where are they now? Let me say, oh that they are.

812
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 3: Where are they now? But here I am standing before

813
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 3: you as the forty fifth and forty seventh president. You

814
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 3: heard that a lot. But against all odds, I did

815
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 3: great in twenty sixteen. Twenty sixteen, How great was that?

816
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 3: And then I did much better in twenty twenty. Sorry

817
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 3: the election was rigged, probably, but it was a rigged election.

818
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 3: And then in twenty twenty four I made it too

819
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 3: big to rig. I said, we got to do this again.

820
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 3: We got to do this, said that, and we made

821
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 3: it too big to rig. We made it that was

822
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 3: a great expression. I said, you got to go and vote.

823
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 3: Even though I was leading big in the polls. I said,

824
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. You got to make it too big

825
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 3: to rig. And they did. They went out and they

826
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 3: voted and voted and voted, and we won the whole thing.

827
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 3: And it was so good and it's such a great

828
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 3: mandate for our country. That's the important thing. So never

829
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:27,439
Speaker 3: let anyone tell you that something is impossible, ever, ever, ever,

830
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:35,320
Speaker 3: in America. The impossible is what we all do best.

831
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 3: There is nothing you cannot do if you're willing to

832
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 3: fight for it. You gotta fight, fight, fight. Oh i've

833
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 3: heard that expression funny, that's not here, that's not here

834
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 3: in the Actually, most of what I've said tonight is

835
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 3: not have the telepreupter. That's all right. Isn't nice of

836
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:02,759
Speaker 3: a president that says doesn't need a telibrupter? And those

837
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 3: sort of can sort of have a little fun because

838
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 3: I feel that this is home. You know, it's been

839
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 3: such a great state for me. I feel it's home.

840
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 3: When they said Alabama, I said, that has a good

841
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 3: ring to me. But it's something nice about somebody that

842
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,240
Speaker 3: doesn't need a teleprompter. Isn't it. But for the past

843
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 3: four years, you've lived in a state known for its fighters,

844
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 3: it's champions, and it's warriors, and you've lived in the

845
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,399
Speaker 3: great state of Alabama, one of the greatest of them all.

846
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 3: From Huntsville to Birmingham, from Montgomery to Mobile, and from

847
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 3: right here in Tuscaloosa to the gleaming shores of the

848
00:55:47,480 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 3: Gulf of America. Alabama, that's a nice thing. Everybody loves it.

849
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say Mexico is thrilled, but you can't have

850
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 3: them all. They're not thrilled. You continue the legacy of Alabama.

851
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 3: Legends who blaze the trails, won the games till the

852
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:16,879
Speaker 3: fields forged, the steals, built the ships, and gave us

853
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 3: the victories that built America and changed the world. The

854
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 3: entire world was changed by our victories. This is the

855
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 3: state that gave us the might of the Iron City,

856
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 3: the power of the Saturn five rocket, and the roaring

857
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 3: engines of Talladega. Talladega. We love Tallaga, We love Talladega.

858
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 3: This is the state that gave us nothing but victory.

859
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 3: The state of some of the greatest heroes and history,

860
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:52,360
Speaker 3: like William Mays, Jesse Owens, Joe Lewis, your coach, Nick Sabin,

861
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 3: Hank Williams, and many others. Some of you will leave

862
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,320
Speaker 3: here today and travel the world, but you will always

863
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:05,359
Speaker 3: know that this state as this is really sweet home Alabama, right,

864
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 3: It's always going to be your place. I sort of

865
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 3: feel that way myself because from a political standpoint, it's

866
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,720
Speaker 3: just been we connected from day one. From the first

867
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 3: day I set my foot on this beautiful soil, I

868
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 3: connected with Alabama. And here in Alabama, we believe that

869
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 3: the men and women who built this country are heroes,

870
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 3: and that America's destiny is to be the single greatest

871
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 3: nation on the face of the earth, and we're bringing

872
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 3: it back at speed that nobody thought was possible. We

873
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 3: believe in freedom and family, God and country. We cherish

874
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 3: our Constitution, We revere our Bible, and we salute our

875
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 3: great American Flag. We honor our police, we respect our veterans,

876
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 3: and we always stand for were our one and only

877
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 3: national anthem. We love ourth we love our national anthem.

878
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 3: We believe in strong parents, strong values, strong communities, and

879
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 3: very strong borders. And we believe that the United States

880
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 3: Military is the greatest force for peace and justice. The

881
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 3: world has ever known. We have a great military, we

882
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 3: just had people that didn't know how to lead it.

883
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 3: We believe the South is beautiful, Alabama is great, and

884
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 3: America is our home. We believe in the SEC and

885
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 3: the USA graduates of the Alabama Class of twenty twenty

886
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 3: five standing here before you in this magnificent arena, it

887
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 3: is clear to see the next chapter of the American

888
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 3: story will not be written the Harvard Crimson. It will

889
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 3: be written by you, the Crimson Tide. True.

890
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 6: That's true, that's true, that's true.

891
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 3: I thought that was rather clever. If you look at

892
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 3: what's going on. You know, they get their five billion

893
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 3: dollars a year. That is not going to be so forthcoming, now,

894
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 3: can you. Wasn't that a clever one though? I would

895
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 3: think of that because this is Alabama, and at Alabama

896
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 3: you fight, fight, fight, and you win, win, win. That's

897
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 3: what you know how to do. Congratulations to you all. Congratulations.

898
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 3: So there's great class of champions. God bless you and

899
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:58,160
