1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: My fellow Americans, get ready for an incredible future, because

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: the Golden Age of America has only just begun. It

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: will be like nothing that has ever been seen before.

4
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: Thank you, God bless you, and God bless you.

5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 3: Good Saturday morning to you, Ben Ferguson with you, and

7
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 3: there's just one story we're talking about. On today's Morning Update,

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 3: the President of the United States of America delivered one

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 3: of the most effective and powerful addresses I would argue

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 3: in my lifetime. The President wove his early accomplishments into

11
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 3: his agenda and his vision for the future. And for years,

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 3: failed politicians have said they needed legislation to secure the border,

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 3: especially on the Democratic side. Well, President Trump showed it

14
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 3: was not a matter of legislation, but a matter of will,

15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: and the American people are clearly in favor of the

16
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: lowest border cross numbers that have ever been recorded in history.

17
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 3: In February, the President also focused on the issues that

18
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: united the country around his campaign and the issues that

19
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 3: will continue, as he put it, to bring the country together,

20
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: such as lowering taxes, keeping men out of girls' sports,

21
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 3: restoring American manufacturing, fighting crime in our cities, and restoring

22
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 3: national security. President Trump put a face to the policies

23
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 3: in an emotional and personal way, which is where the

24
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 3: biggest shock of the night came. As Democrats put their

25
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 3: face of anger and radical policies and positions that they

26
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: want to divide the country on display. Instead of standing

27
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: for things that you would assume everyone could be in

28
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 3: favor of, the Democrats refused to show support for lowering taxes,

29
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: fighting child cancer, capturing terrorists, protecting girl athletes, law and order,

30
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 3: and law enforcement officers. And that's just some of the

31
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: high whites. So what did the President say? And maybe

32
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 3: you didn't get to see the entire speech, we decide

33
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 3: to put together a montage of the biggest moments of

34
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: the night. Here's the President of the United States of America,

35
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 3: Donald J. Trump, in his own words.

36
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: I returned to this chamber tonight to report that America's

37
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: momentum is back, our spirit is back, our pride is back,

38
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: our confidence is back, and the American dream is surging

39
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: bigger and better than ever before. How we have ended

40
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: weaponized government, where as an example, a sitting president is

41
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent like me. How

42
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: did that work out?

43
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 2: Not to?

44
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: Not to? Within hours of taking the oath of office,

45
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: I declared a national emergency on our southern border, and

46
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: I deployed the US military and border patrol through the

47
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: invasion of our country. And what a job they've done.

48
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: As a result, illegal border crossings last month were by

49
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: far the lowest ever recorded ever. To unshackle our economy,

50
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: I have directed that for every one new regulation, ten

51
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: old regulations must be eliminated, just like I did in

52
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: my very successful first day, and I have stopped all

53
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: government censorship and brought back free speech.

54
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: In America's back.

55
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: We've ended the tyranny of so called diversity, equity, and

56
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 1: inclusion policies all across the entire federal government, and indeed

57
00:03:51,160 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: the private sector and our military and our country will

58
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: be worked no longer. I also signed an executive order

59
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: to ban men from playing in women's sports, and in

60
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: the near future, I want to do what has not

61
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: been done in twenty four years balance the federal budget.

62
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: We're going to balance it.

63
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: One point three million people from ages one hundred and

64
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: fifty to one hundred and fifty nine and over one

65
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty thousand people according to the Social Security databases,

66
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: our age over one hundred and sixty years old. We

67
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: have a healthier country than I thought, Bobby, including to

68
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: finish one thousand and thirty nine people between the ages

69
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: of two hundred and twenty and two hundred and twenty

70
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: nine person between the age of two hundred and forty

71
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: and two hundred and forty nine, and one person is

72
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: listed at three hundred and sixty years of age, more

73
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: than one hundred years, more than one hundred years older

74
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: than our country. But we're going to find out where

75
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: that money's going, and it's not going to be pretty.

76
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 3: So as the president has America behind him on stopping waste, fraud,

77
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 3: and abuse, which you heard him talking about right there,

78
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: Democrats were sitting on their hands. They were angry. So

79
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,119
Speaker 3: let's go through the major list of all the things

80
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 3: the Democrats refused to clap for. It, refused to stand for.

81
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 3: Many of them were actually not political things, but since

82
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: the President was talking about it, they decided to say

83
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 3: no to it. No matter what tax cuts. They are

84
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 3: not in favor of that and refuse to clap. The

85
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: border being closed, something they claimed they were in favor

86
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: of and said that they were willing to pass the

87
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,119
Speaker 3: legislation to quote get done. They wouldn't clap for that either.

88
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 3: Even foster children finding hope and success was something that

89
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: apparently Democrats are not in favor of. And then there

90
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 3: was the personal stories of children being murdered by illegal

91
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: immigrants and the parents being in the audience. They wouldn't

92
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 3: even clap for the family members. Police officers dying in

93
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 3: the line of duty being honored and their family something

94
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: they would not stand to honor. Supporting workers including US

95
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 3: steel workers with something apparently they couldn't clap for. And

96
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 3: even a child with brain cancer becoming an honorary Secret

97
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: Service member was too much for the Democratic Party to say,

98
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 3: we can stand with J. D. Daniels. The President had

99
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 3: no problem honoring him with a special surprise, and this

100
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 3: is what he said.

101
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: DJ Daniel is thirteen years old and he has always

102
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: dreamed of becoming a police officer. In twenty eighteen, DJ

103
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: was diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctors gave him five

104
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: months at most to live. That was more than six

105
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: years ago. And tonight, DJ, We're going to do you

106
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: the biggest honor of them all. I am asking our

107
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: new Secret Service Director, Sean Kerran, to officially make you

108
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: an agent of the United States Secret Service.

109
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 3: The clapping that you heard there was the Republicans, not

110
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 3: the Democrats. There was even also a surprise for a

111
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: teenager who had lost a family member, a father, getting

112
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: into West Point, something they couldn't clap for. Even the

113
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 3: men and women in uniform that traditionally do not clap

114
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 3: that are in attendance serving our armed forces knew that

115
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 3: was a moment where it was okay for them to

116
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 3: clap for that teen getting into West Point. Advancing our

117
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,119
Speaker 3: military and defense structure was something Democrats couldn't support either.

118
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: And then, in a more shocking moment, as the President

119
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 3: announced the apprehension and extradition of an ISIS terrorist linked

120
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 3: to the twenty twenty one abbigate bombing in Afghanistan where

121
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 3: thirteen Americans lost their lives, the Democrats couldn't be bothered

122
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 3: to clap when he talked about catching that terrorist of.

123
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: The country tonight, and please to announce that we have

124
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: just apprehended the top terrorists responsible for that atrocity and

125
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: he is right now on his way here to face

126
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: the swift Sword of American Justice.

127
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 3: Yes, Republicans were excited because the President broke news in

128
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 3: that moment. All the people in the chamber did not

129
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: know that that had just happened, and there was genuine

130
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: cheering for a moment knowing that that isis Terrace was

131
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 3: coming to America. That wasn't just on that issue. The

132
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 3: Democrats couldn't stand or clap. Bringing an American hostage home

133
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: from Russia because it was done under Donald Trump's time

134
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 3: in office was something they couldn't clap for. And even

135
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: the man who died because the Butler Rally assassination attempt,

136
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 3: when the President honored him, Democrats refused to honor that man.

137
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: So if you want to know where we are right

138
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: now with the forty seventh President of the United States

139
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 3: of America and his time in office, these are the

140
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 3: issues the Democrats refused to stand for now the Democratic Party,

141
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 3: they clearly are out of touch with the American people.

142
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: And one thing that's for sure is what Donald Trump

143
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 3: said at the State of the Union is an agenda

144
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: that is driven by the people, a mandate that the

145
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 3: people gave him to work on all of these issues.

146
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 3: And I have a feeling the present's approval ratings will

147
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 3: go up significantly because of what he said to America.

148
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,480
