Sekulow | Sekulow - Trump's Unifying Speech | March 18, 2025

(upbeat music)
00:00:01.165 --> 00:00:18.782
- coming on the heels of the not state of the union,
00:00:19.850 --> 00:00:21.685
The joint address that happened,
00:00:21.685 --> 00:00:24.154
We have highlights from president trump's historic speech.
00:00:24.154 --> 00:00:28.358
It was very long, almost cresting two hours
00:00:28.358 --> 00:00:31.995
In the amount of time that they've asked you to watch,
00:00:31.995 --> 00:00:33.997
But about what, about an hour 40 probably of content?
00:00:33.997 --> 00:00:35.933
- it was 100 minutes long, hour 40,
00:00:35.933 --> 00:00:37.701
Which is the longest presidential speech
00:00:37.701 --> 00:00:41.271
To a joint session of congress.
00:00:41.271 --> 00:00:42.973
- hit a lot of topics.
00:00:42.973 --> 00:00:44.174
We're gonna go through a lot of those.
00:00:44.174 --> 00:00:45.742
And of course, president trump, the one thing you could say,
00:00:45.742 --> 00:00:47.010
And i can't really look back at any
00:00:47.010 --> 00:00:49.279
Of joe biden's state of the unions in the back of my head,
00:00:49.279 --> 00:00:51.381
And i mean this honestly, i'm not saying this as just
00:00:51.381 --> 00:00:53.717
Someone who clearly has maybe, i guess you'd say,
00:00:53.717 --> 00:00:56.520
More support for a lot of the things
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:57.888
That president trump's talking about.
00:00:57.888 --> 00:00:59.323
I don't think of those big moments.
00:00:59.323 --> 00:01:01.692
But for president trump's,
00:01:01.692 --> 00:01:02.826
I think back at the tuskegee airmen,
00:01:02.826 --> 00:01:04.027
I think back at rush limbaugh,
00:01:04.027 --> 00:01:05.295
I can have moments that i can recall
00:01:05.295 --> 00:01:06.930
From his state of the union addresses,
00:01:06.930 --> 00:01:08.332
From his moments where he's addressing the nation
00:01:08.332 --> 00:01:09.933
And addressing congress.
00:01:09.933 --> 00:01:11.602
He did that again with an amazing moment,
00:01:12.469 --> 00:01:15.839
With a kid in the audience.
00:01:15.839 --> 00:01:17.741
We're gonna play that for you.
00:01:17.741 --> 00:01:18.942
But really what's shocking of course
00:01:18.942 --> 00:01:21.345
Is that msnbc and the left could not just leave it alone,
00:01:21.345 --> 00:01:25.582
Could not just clap for it,
00:01:25.582 --> 00:01:27.050
Be excited for this child who had brain cancer.
00:01:27.050 --> 00:01:29.920
No, of course they had to politicize it, make it even worse.
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.891
And as you know, these events are always politicized.
00:01:33.891 --> 00:01:35.959
There's always people standing up.
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:37.161
There's always people not standing up,
00:01:37.161 --> 00:01:39.830
There's a little bit of booing here.
00:01:39.830 --> 00:01:41.198
Of course, there was a bigger moment early on
00:01:41.198 --> 00:01:43.167
Where al green had to be removed
00:01:43.167 --> 00:01:45.469
Because he was causing such a disruption.
00:01:45.469 --> 00:01:47.938
Not much more happened after that.
00:01:47.938 --> 00:01:48.872
Some people walked out,
00:01:48.872 --> 00:01:50.974
But that was the big moment is he had to be escorted out.
00:01:50.974 --> 00:01:53.844
But i want to first set up
00:01:53.844 --> 00:01:55.012
And show you the positive side of this.
00:01:55.012 --> 00:01:56.413
This should be the moment everyone cheers for.
00:01:56.413 --> 00:01:58.515
This should be the moment
00:01:58.515 --> 00:01:59.783
That no one can find political dissidents in,
00:01:59.783 --> 00:02:01.451
But of course they do.
00:02:01.451 --> 00:02:03.220
So first, i'm gonna play you president trump
00:02:03.220 --> 00:02:05.989
And his statement
00:02:05.989 --> 00:02:07.491
And the little conversation he has, i guess you'd say,
00:02:07.491 --> 00:02:10.227
With a kid in the audience.
00:02:10.227 --> 00:02:12.095
- dj was diagnosed with brain cancer.
00:02:12.095 --> 00:02:15.699
The doctors gave him five months at most to live.
00:02:15.699 --> 00:02:20.270
That was more than six years ago.
00:02:20.270 --> 00:02:22.940
(audience applauding)
00:02:22.940 --> 00:02:43.660
Since that time, dj and his dad have been on a quest
00:02:44.728 --> 00:02:48.265
To make his dream come true.
00:02:48.265 --> 00:02:50.801
And dj has been sworn in
00:02:50.801 --> 00:02:53.136
As an honorary law enforcement officer
00:02:53.136 --> 00:02:56.640
Actually a number of times.
00:02:56.640 --> 00:02:58.875
The police love him. the police departments love him.
00:02:58.875 --> 00:03:02.145
And tonight, dj,
00:03:02.145 --> 00:03:03.614
We're going to do you the biggest honor of them all.
00:03:03.614 --> 00:03:06.917
I am asking our new secret service director, sean curran,
00:03:06.917 --> 00:03:11.488
To officially make you an agent
00:03:11.488 --> 00:03:14.091
Of the united states secret service.
00:03:14.091 --> 00:03:16.893
(audience applauding)
00:03:16.893 --> 00:03:41.318
- and he's holding out the badge. you see him hugging.
00:03:42.419 --> 00:03:44.021
If you're just listening,
00:03:44.021 --> 00:03:45.322
You'll see this young kid in the crowd, again,
00:03:45.322 --> 00:03:48.992
Who just wants to be a police officer, gets deputized,
00:03:48.992 --> 00:03:52.362
Honorary deputized as a member of the secret service,
00:03:52.362 --> 00:03:54.564
Which is a beautiful and fun and memorable moment.
00:03:54.564 --> 00:03:57.834
But of course it couldn't just stop there.
00:03:58.735 --> 00:04:01.004
When we get back,
00:04:01.004 --> 00:04:02.272
You're not gonna believe the response from msnbc.
00:04:02.272 --> 00:04:06.109
You think that they would either just leave it alone
00:04:06.109 --> 00:04:07.844
Or just say, "you know what?"
00:04:07.844 --> 00:04:09.146
It was one of those few unifying moments."
00:04:09.146 --> 00:04:10.247
And maybe it starts that way.
00:04:10.247 --> 00:04:11.815
But you're gonna be shocked to find out what happens next.
00:04:11.815 --> 00:04:15.218
(upbeat music)
00:04:15.218 --> 00:04:19.991
(upbeat music)
00:04:19.991 --> 00:04:20.676
(upbeat music)
00:04:21.043 --> 00:04:23.412
You heard in the last segment,
00:04:23.412 --> 00:04:24.513
You saw the setup here about dj,
00:04:24.513 --> 00:04:26.815
Boy who just wanted to become police officer,
00:04:26.815 --> 00:04:28.984
Has brain cancer, has fought it,
00:04:28.984 --> 00:04:30.986
Said he had five months to live, he's now 13 years old
00:04:30.986 --> 00:04:34.623
And still fighting and being deputized around the country.
00:04:34.623 --> 00:04:37.326
And president trump brought him up
00:04:37.326 --> 00:04:38.794
And deputized him as a member of the secret service.
00:04:38.794 --> 00:04:41.063
Real beautiful moment, real sweet moment.
00:04:41.063 --> 00:04:42.865
Again, a moment that president trump is good at,
00:04:42.865 --> 00:04:46.001
Creating those moments that stick with you forever.
00:04:46.001 --> 00:04:48.303
A memorable moment.
00:04:48.303 --> 00:04:49.671
Of course, you flip on the coverage after
00:04:50.572 --> 00:04:51.974
And you assume you're gonna hear people discuss,
00:04:51.974 --> 00:04:54.009
You know, maybe they don't like the doge talk,
00:04:54.009 --> 00:04:56.044
They don't like some of the things that he said.
00:04:56.044 --> 00:04:58.280
Of course you have people on the other side and that's fine.
00:04:58.280 --> 00:05:01.083
But nicole wallace on msnbc just shortly after,
00:05:01.083 --> 00:05:04.686
Within hours, if not even within minutes
00:05:04.686 --> 00:05:07.156
Of this speech ending, had this to say,
00:05:07.156 --> 00:05:09.992
And stick with me here because the beginning,
00:05:09.992 --> 00:05:11.560
You're gonna be like, "good for her."
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:13.629
And by the end, hopefully,
00:05:13.629 --> 00:05:15.197
If you have some sort of moral center or compass,
00:05:15.197 --> 00:05:18.867
Hopefully you find this to be disgusting.
00:05:18.867 --> 00:05:21.470
- i think this was a lesson in finding one thing
00:05:21.470 --> 00:05:24.239
That you let yourself feel.
00:05:24.239 --> 00:05:26.308
And i let myself feel joy about dj.
00:05:26.308 --> 00:05:30.746
And i hope he's alive for another 95 years.
00:05:30.746 --> 00:05:36.084
And i hope he lives the life he wants to live.
00:05:36.985 --> 00:05:39.555
He wants to be a cop. he knows what he wants to do.
00:05:39.555 --> 00:05:41.423
And maybe when you have childhood cancer,
00:05:41.423 --> 00:05:43.792
That crystallizes for you.
00:05:43.792 --> 00:05:45.127
And i hope he has a long life
00:05:45.127 --> 00:05:47.129
As a law enforcement officer.
00:05:47.129 --> 00:05:48.864
But i hope he never has
00:05:48.864 --> 00:05:50.098
To defend the united states capitol
00:05:50.098 --> 00:05:51.733
Against donald trump's supporters.
00:05:51.733 --> 00:05:53.402
And if he does, i hope he isn't one of the six
00:05:53.402 --> 00:05:56.138
Who loses his life to suicide.
00:05:56.138 --> 00:05:58.040
And i hope he isn't one who has
00:05:58.040 --> 00:05:59.741
To testify against the people who carried out acts
00:05:59.741 --> 00:06:02.177
Of seditious conspiracy
00:06:02.177 --> 00:06:03.679
And then lived to see donald trump pardon those people.
00:06:03.679 --> 00:06:06.648
- i don't say this lightly.
00:06:06.648 --> 00:06:08.150
This was a truly disgusting moment coming from msnbc,
00:06:08.150 --> 00:06:10.953
Taking this real sweet moment,
00:06:10.953 --> 00:06:12.321
One of the few non-political moments
00:06:12.321 --> 00:06:13.655
That maybe happened that night.
00:06:13.655 --> 00:06:15.023
And look, i'd say president trump,
00:06:15.023 --> 00:06:16.425
It's not like he even specifically said,
00:06:16.425 --> 00:06:17.993
"i realized that i'm not gonna win over democrats in this.
00:06:17.993 --> 00:06:20.395
They're not gonna cheer me even for something like this."
00:06:20.395 --> 00:06:22.865
And you could see very few stood up,
00:06:22.865 --> 00:06:24.199
Very few even cheered for dj.
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:26.735
However, nicole wallace goes on
00:06:27.369 --> 00:06:28.837
And she not only wants to make a spectacle out of it
00:06:28.837 --> 00:06:33.041
And bring herself into it, says that yeah,
00:06:33.041 --> 00:06:34.977
Though she hopes he lives,
00:06:34.977 --> 00:06:36.578
Of course she hopes he lives a long life.
00:06:36.578 --> 00:06:38.847
She also hopes that he isn't one of the ones
00:06:38.847 --> 00:06:41.183
Who ends up committing suicide
00:06:41.183 --> 00:06:43.585
Due to president trump's supporters storming the capitol.
00:06:43.585 --> 00:06:48.056
This is, again, a kid who had five months to live
00:06:49.057 --> 00:06:51.727
And has beaten those odds.
00:06:52.294 --> 00:06:54.029
But of course you have msnbc, which again i've said,
00:06:55.063 --> 00:06:57.566
Is really a vile part
00:06:57.566 --> 00:07:01.103
Of the universal xfinity nbc platform.
00:07:01.103 --> 00:07:06.775
It makes no sense why it is in their portfolio,
00:07:07.709 --> 00:07:10.546
Why you would even have
00:07:10.546 --> 00:07:12.247
This incredibly disturbing leftist group.
00:07:12.247 --> 00:07:16.318
It's not just a left leaning network, it's not even cnn.
00:07:16.318 --> 00:07:21.189
It is getting to the point
00:07:21.189 --> 00:07:22.691
Where you can't even have humanity for a small child,
00:07:22.691 --> 00:07:25.727
A 13-year-old child who has fought
00:07:25.727 --> 00:07:27.896
And beat brain cancer over and over again,
00:07:27.896 --> 00:07:29.798
Who's still fighting,
00:07:29.798 --> 00:07:30.832
Who has then been deputized
00:07:30.832 --> 00:07:32.601
Because he just wants to be a police officer
00:07:32.601 --> 00:07:34.269
When he grows up.
00:07:34.269 --> 00:07:35.504
And then president trump does a fun moment
00:07:35.504 --> 00:07:37.706
And lets him become a secret service.
00:07:37.706 --> 00:07:38.941
You can see the emotion on his face.
00:07:38.941 --> 00:07:40.709
We also can play a clip even from him
00:07:40.709 --> 00:07:42.144
So you could hear from him himself.
00:07:42.144 --> 00:07:43.679
We could play that a little bit later.
00:07:43.679 --> 00:07:44.980
So you know that this is not disingenuous,
00:07:44.980 --> 00:07:48.483
This is the real deal.
00:07:48.483 --> 00:07:50.419
But of course, because coming from president trump,
00:07:50.419 --> 00:07:52.487
Not only does it have to be bad,
00:07:52.487 --> 00:07:53.822
You have to just start praying
00:07:53.822 --> 00:07:55.057
That this little boy doesn't grow up
00:07:55.057 --> 00:07:57.826
To have to kill himself because of mental health problems
00:07:57.826 --> 00:08:02.464
After president,
00:08:02.464 --> 00:08:03.765
Of course, it's all some weird theoretical
00:08:03.765 --> 00:08:05.567
Because clearly when he becomes an adult,
00:08:05.567 --> 00:08:07.536
There is no president trump.
00:08:07.536 --> 00:08:08.437
There are no situations.
00:08:08.437 --> 00:08:10.739
But i want you to hear from him.
00:08:10.739 --> 00:08:12.307
I want you hear from dj daniel, this kid,
00:08:12.307 --> 00:08:14.743
You saw him last night,
00:08:14.743 --> 00:08:16.144
But maybe you didn't see they interviewed him before
00:08:16.144 --> 00:08:18.480
And let him make a statement that they released.
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.248
And i think this should at least give you a sense
00:08:20.248 --> 00:08:23.485
Of who the left is targeting here.
00:08:23.485 --> 00:08:26.355
Here's dj.
00:08:26.355 --> 00:08:27.522
- you wanna know the craziest part?
00:08:28.256 --> 00:08:30.058
Because my mom bathed me and my brothers all together,
00:08:30.058 --> 00:08:33.462
And out of nowhere i locked up.
00:08:33.462 --> 00:08:34.863
And then my dad was calling my name
00:08:34.863 --> 00:08:37.332
And i started going to the slow thing
00:08:37.332 --> 00:08:38.767
And he said, "stop playing with me."
00:08:38.767 --> 00:08:41.269
And i started to act.
00:08:41.269 --> 00:08:42.571
I ain't gonna lie, i started to act slow.
00:08:42.571 --> 00:08:44.006
And then as soon as he said that,
00:08:44.006 --> 00:08:47.042
We were speeding all the way
00:08:47.042 --> 00:08:48.410
Running lights going to the hospital.
00:08:48.410 --> 00:08:50.045
And then next thing you know, i was seizing on the table.
00:08:50.045 --> 00:08:52.114
They said, "nah, we gonna have to go in his brain tonight."
00:08:52.114 --> 00:08:54.616
Ever since then, i had 13 brain surgeries.
00:08:54.616 --> 00:08:57.352
And that's how many times my personality has changed.
00:08:57.352 --> 00:09:00.222
And that's something that you don't hear
00:09:00.222 --> 00:09:01.757
From a terminally ill child who had five months to live.
00:09:01.757 --> 00:09:05.093
I'm gonna keep on going until my gas tanks right now.
00:09:05.093 --> 00:09:07.496
And that's when god calls you home.
00:09:07.496 --> 00:09:08.864
You never know when god's gonna call you home.
00:09:08.864 --> 00:09:10.932
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my dad.
00:09:10.932 --> 00:09:12.768
And i know he's pretty proud of me
00:09:12.768 --> 00:09:15.003
And i'm pretty proud of him too.
00:09:15.003 --> 00:09:16.438
And i'd like to thank president trump
00:09:16.438 --> 00:09:18.473
Because if it wasn't for him, i wouldn't be here today.
00:09:18.473 --> 00:09:22.110
- and probably that last sentence was enough to make sure
00:09:22.110 --> 00:09:25.147
That the left media decided we have to disqualify dj daniel.
00:09:25.147 --> 00:09:30.552
He can't be someone that we all look up to,
00:09:31.453 --> 00:09:33.355
Find a positive moment out of.
00:09:33.355 --> 00:09:35.290
We have to politicize it.
00:09:35.290 --> 00:09:36.558
And we have to take a beautiful moment
00:09:36.558 --> 00:09:38.827
And decide to not only politicize,
00:09:38.827 --> 00:09:40.996
But really make it into a disgusting spectacle.
00:09:40.996 --> 00:09:43.665
- don't let the left tell you that it is conservatives
00:09:43.665 --> 00:09:47.703
And trump supporters that are dividing this country.
00:09:47.703 --> 00:09:50.439
Because when you see after a beautiful moment,
00:09:50.439 --> 00:09:53.341
And every president does those,
00:09:53.341 --> 00:09:55.243
Every president during a joint address to congress
00:09:55.243 --> 00:09:58.246
Or a speech before them,
00:09:58.246 --> 00:10:00.482
Whether it be the state of the union or otherwise
00:10:00.482 --> 00:10:02.484
Brings guests and highlights them.
00:10:02.484 --> 00:10:05.020
And many times, it goes along with policies
00:10:05.020 --> 00:10:08.457
That they also want to support.
00:10:08.457 --> 00:10:10.859
And you know what the policy was here?
00:10:10.859 --> 00:10:13.428
They believe that this child's cancer
00:10:13.428 --> 00:10:15.897
Was started from exposure to toxins.
00:10:15.897 --> 00:10:19.468
And he then went on to say is that we are going
00:10:19.468 --> 00:10:23.071
To look at getting these toxins out of our environment
00:10:23.071 --> 00:10:27.542
So that we can combat childhood cancer from exposure
00:10:27.542 --> 00:10:32.814
To things that cause that.
00:10:33.381 --> 00:10:35.217
And then the left decides that now it's fair game
00:10:36.218 --> 00:10:40.555
Because president trump brought him up there
00:10:40.555 --> 00:10:42.958
And did a beautiful moment, it's despicable.
00:10:42.958 --> 00:10:47.295
Like it shocks your soul when you see
00:10:47.295 --> 00:10:50.165
That people are so heartless,
00:10:50.165 --> 00:10:52.000
So deranged against president trump
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:55.403
That they can't, they could have just left it alone.
00:10:55.403 --> 00:10:58.240
They didn't have to say anything about the moment.
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.609
Or they could have said, "beautiful moment.
00:11:00.609 --> 00:11:02.210
It still doesn't make up for all the things
00:11:02.210 --> 00:11:04.146
That we disagree with about president trump."
00:11:04.146 --> 00:11:05.814
I look at our friend jared moskowitz,
00:11:05.814 --> 00:11:07.249
Who is a democrat senator and he is on there
00:11:07.249 --> 00:11:11.553
And he says, "congrats to dj.
00:11:11.553 --> 00:11:14.623
We must work together to tackle cancer."
00:11:14.623 --> 00:11:16.458
That's all you really gotta say.
00:11:16.458 --> 00:11:18.660
When your representative in your area,
00:11:19.461 --> 00:11:21.496
Congressman in your area, to just say,
00:11:21.496 --> 00:11:23.765
"you know what, this is a moment we can all rally together."
00:11:23.765 --> 00:11:27.202
But that's not most. most were causing disruptions.
00:11:27.202 --> 00:11:30.639
And look, we're gonna not spend the whole time on this.
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:32.440
We're gonna actually break down a lot of what happened.
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:34.776
Because there was some moments,
00:11:34.776 --> 00:11:35.977
There was a brief talk about israel,
00:11:35.977 --> 00:11:37.279
There was brief talk on a lot of the topics
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:38.980
That we bring up here today.
00:11:38.980 --> 00:11:40.849
And yes, it maybe was a bit more, had allotted some jokes,
00:11:42.017 --> 00:11:46.254
A little more lighthearted from president trump
00:11:46.254 --> 00:11:48.123
Also because he said it.
00:11:48.123 --> 00:11:50.492
And we have that bite too where he simply said,
00:11:50.492 --> 00:11:52.227
"i know i'm not gonna win you over tonight.
00:11:52.227 --> 00:11:54.563
I'm not going to all of a sudden have both sides
00:11:54.563 --> 00:11:57.232
Of this audience standing up.
00:11:57.232 --> 00:11:58.867
So why cater to them?
00:11:58.867 --> 00:12:00.702
Cater to the audience that is ready for you."
00:12:00.702 --> 00:12:02.771
And a lot of times, those are the people at home.
00:12:02.771 --> 00:12:04.706
And guess what?
00:12:04.706 --> 00:12:05.974
We found out through the favorability scores
00:12:05.974 --> 00:12:08.577
That came in on all networks pretty much
00:12:08.577 --> 00:12:11.746
That there was an extremely favorable response.
00:12:12.747 --> 00:12:14.616
First, bite eight, and then we'll go to that.
00:12:14.616 --> 00:12:16.351
- this is my fifth such speech to congress.
00:12:16.351 --> 00:12:19.721
And once again, i look at the democrats in front of me
00:12:19.721 --> 00:12:23.225
And i realize there is absolutely nothing i can say
00:12:23.225 --> 00:12:26.528
To make them happy or to make them stand
00:12:26.528 --> 00:12:29.931
Or smile or applaud.
00:12:29.931 --> 00:12:31.566
Nothing i can do.
00:12:31.566 --> 00:12:33.034
I could find a cure to the most devastating disease,
00:12:34.069 --> 00:12:37.739
A disease that would wipe out entire nations,
00:12:37.739 --> 00:12:41.943
Or announce the answers to the greatest economy in history
00:12:41.943 --> 00:12:46.481
Or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded.
00:12:46.481 --> 00:12:50.685
And these people sitting right here will not clap,
00:12:50.685 --> 00:12:54.789
Will not stand,
00:12:54.789 --> 00:12:55.757
And certainly will not cheer
00:12:55.757 --> 00:12:57.259
For these astronomical achievements.
00:12:57.259 --> 00:13:00.195
They won't do it no matter what.
00:13:00.195 --> 00:13:02.530
Five times i've been up here.
00:13:02.530 --> 00:13:05.100
It's very sad, and it just shouldn't be this way.
00:13:05.100 --> 00:13:09.271
(audience applauding)
00:13:09.271 --> 00:13:11.740
Briefly go over the scores here
00:13:11.740 --> 00:13:14.175
Because you'd think, you know,
00:13:14.175 --> 00:13:15.510
This is gonna be 50/50 just like the country,
00:13:15.510 --> 00:13:17.412
Maybe less because who's watching some of these networks
00:13:17.412 --> 00:13:20.448
That are doing the polling,
00:13:20.448 --> 00:13:21.716
- right, and especially a lot of it was him
00:13:21.716 --> 00:13:23.151
Just talking about what they've done the first month-
00:13:23.151 --> 00:13:25.020
- which is controversial. - it's controversial.
00:13:25.020 --> 00:13:27.289
Well at least that's what they'll have you believe.
00:13:27.289 --> 00:13:29.257
But here's the reality of that.
00:13:29.257 --> 00:13:30.825
It actually isn't that controversial.
00:13:30.825 --> 00:13:32.961
Cbs news, no fan of president trump, 67,
00:13:32.961 --> 00:13:37.299
Or sorry, i said that wrong.
00:13:37.299 --> 00:13:38.833
76% of trump's speech watchers approved of it.
00:13:38.833 --> 00:13:44.706
Only 23 disapproved.
00:13:45.173 --> 00:13:46.975
Cnn, their poll, 69% positive about the speech.
00:13:46.975 --> 00:13:51.880
Only 31% negative.
00:13:51.880 --> 00:13:55.083
Don't believe what they tell you
00:13:55.083 --> 00:13:57.786
When they say that it's dividing the country
00:13:57.786 --> 00:14:00.689
Because the ones that are dividing the country are the ones
00:14:00.689 --> 00:14:03.491
Who will make disgusting commentary
00:14:03.491 --> 00:14:05.760
About a childhood cancer survivor
00:14:05.760 --> 00:14:09.097
And someone who's still fighting that out.
00:14:09.097 --> 00:14:10.999
(upbeat music)
00:14:10.999 --> 00:14:16.987
(upbeat music)
00:14:17.066 --> 00:14:20.069
We also wanna though move to the serious topic
00:14:20.069 --> 00:14:22.138
Because i think where president trump in 2020
00:14:22.138 --> 00:14:24.974
I think actually had a few stumbles in his campaign was
00:14:24.974 --> 00:14:28.411
To not focus on really his fight against terrorism
00:14:28.411 --> 00:14:32.848
And wiping out isis.
00:14:32.848 --> 00:14:34.050
He didn't talk about that enough.
00:14:34.050 --> 00:14:35.451
He didn't talk about the fact that we had peace
00:14:35.451 --> 00:14:36.819
In the middle east for the first time in
00:14:36.819 --> 00:14:38.454
Pretty much our lifetime,
00:14:38.454 --> 00:14:39.855
That we had the abraham accords that finally started
00:14:39.855 --> 00:14:42.591
To open up countries like saudi arabia and israel
00:14:42.591 --> 00:14:45.027
And having these real relations
00:14:45.027 --> 00:14:46.495
Between countries in the middle east.
00:14:46.495 --> 00:14:49.065
But now in this speech,
00:14:49.565 --> 00:14:51.100
He was able to address a brand new
00:14:51.100 --> 00:14:53.235
Sort of breaking news item,
00:14:53.235 --> 00:14:54.870
Which was finally after what,
00:14:54.870 --> 00:14:56.672
Three and a half years since what, was it 2021,
00:14:56.672 --> 00:15:00.009
Was the afghanistan withdrawal that we all remember.
00:15:00.009 --> 00:15:02.311
We can all play that back in our heads.
00:15:02.311 --> 00:15:03.679
You like to black it out, but it all happened.
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:05.147
Remember, you can remember all the people grabbing
00:15:05.147 --> 00:15:06.949
Onto the planes as they were flying away.
00:15:06.949 --> 00:15:09.051
You can remember the americans that were attacked
00:15:09.051 --> 00:15:11.921
Because we decided to just abandon everything
00:15:11.921 --> 00:15:14.990
And head home and cause chaos.
00:15:14.990 --> 00:15:17.693
And now the rights of children,
00:15:17.693 --> 00:15:18.961
The rights of women have changed aggressively
00:15:18.961 --> 00:15:22.431
In taliban-run afghanistan.
00:15:22.431 --> 00:15:24.667
President trump at least did not give up on them.
00:15:25.601 --> 00:15:28.771
And i'll be honest, i didn't know this was gonna come up.
00:15:28.771 --> 00:15:30.439
I didn't think that topic would come up at all last night,
00:15:30.439 --> 00:15:33.309
But here you go.
00:15:33.309 --> 00:15:34.577
Will we have a bite from president trump
00:15:34.577 --> 00:15:36.112
About sort of the breaking news item that came out of this.
00:15:36.112 --> 00:15:37.847
- that's right. this is bite 22.
00:15:37.847 --> 00:15:39.081
Let's go ahead and roll it.
00:15:39.081 --> 00:15:40.783
- three and a half years ago,
00:15:40.783 --> 00:15:42.151
Isis terrorists killed 13 american service members
00:15:42.151 --> 00:15:45.521
And countless others in the abbey gate bombing
00:15:45.521 --> 00:15:48.791
During the disastrous
00:15:48.791 --> 00:15:50.626
And incompetent withdrawal from afghanistan.
00:15:50.626 --> 00:15:53.929
Not that they were withdrawing,
00:15:53.929 --> 00:15:55.764
It was the way they withdrew.
00:15:55.764 --> 00:15:58.367
Perhaps the most embarrassing moment
00:15:58.367 --> 00:16:00.336
In the history of our country.
00:16:00.336 --> 00:16:02.538
Tonight, i am pleased to announce
00:16:02.538 --> 00:16:04.173
That we have just apprehended the top terrorist
00:16:04.173 --> 00:16:08.144
Responsible for that atrocity.
00:16:08.144 --> 00:16:10.613
And he is right now on his way here to face the swift sword
00:16:10.613 --> 00:16:14.884
Of american justice.
00:16:14.884 --> 00:16:16.919
(audience applauding)
00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:18.587
- so there you go.
00:16:18.587 --> 00:16:20.022
That is an incredible moment from president trump.
00:16:20.022 --> 00:16:21.824
We do have a lot of phone calls coming in.
00:16:21.824 --> 00:16:23.359
I think we should go ahead and try to take some of those.
00:16:23.359 --> 00:16:26.395
Let's go ahead and start with some
00:16:26.395 --> 00:16:27.796
Of the ones that have been on hold for a while.
00:16:27.796 --> 00:16:29.298
Actually, let's start with cyrus, who's in north carolina.
00:16:29.298 --> 00:16:31.800
Cyrus is watching on the salem news channel,
00:16:31.800 --> 00:16:34.537
Which we are live on for 12 to 1:00 pm eastern time,
00:16:34.537 --> 00:16:38.140
You can work your way back from there.
00:16:38.140 --> 00:16:39.842
But we're on salem news channel.
00:16:39.842 --> 00:16:41.343
It's a free channel, it's available on their website,
00:16:41.343 --> 00:16:43.612
But it's also available on pluto
00:16:43.612 --> 00:16:44.914
And samsung plus and a lot of others.
00:16:44.914 --> 00:16:46.282
We're seeing a lot of great new people coming
00:16:46.282 --> 00:16:48.317
From the salem news channel.
00:16:48.317 --> 00:16:49.318
But cyrus, you're on the air.
00:16:49.318 --> 00:16:51.253
- [cyrus] thank you sir.
00:16:51.754 --> 00:16:52.655
I just wanna say thank you
00:16:52.655 --> 00:16:54.023
For the good job you guys do in bringing forth
00:16:54.023 --> 00:16:57.960
What you bring each and every day
00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:00.095
That i thoroughly enjoy and learn from
00:17:00.095 --> 00:17:03.632
And appreciate you guys so much.
00:17:03.632 --> 00:17:06.569
You're a professional group of guys,
00:17:06.569 --> 00:17:08.637
And we really love you out here.
00:17:08.637 --> 00:17:11.140
- i'm gonna clip that as they say, clip that,
00:17:12.074 --> 00:17:13.309
And whenever i wake up in a bad mood,
00:17:13.309 --> 00:17:15.044
I'm just gonna play that, cyrus.
00:17:15.044 --> 00:17:16.679
So thank you though.
00:17:16.679 --> 00:17:18.380
- [cyrus] you're most welcome.
00:17:18.380 --> 00:17:19.915
Sir, the reason i'm calling,
00:17:19.915 --> 00:17:21.483
I'm a two-time honorably discharged navy veteran.
00:17:21.483 --> 00:17:25.454
I'm 75, i'll be 76 come april.
00:17:25.454 --> 00:17:29.558
I tell people jokingly
00:17:29.558 --> 00:17:31.160
I didn't get to be 75 by being a blooming idiot,
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:34.597
But they seem to think that we are at our age.
00:17:34.597 --> 00:17:38.467
But anyway, the thing that i wanted to comment on,
00:17:38.467 --> 00:17:41.604
Last night with president trump was a very uplifting,
00:17:41.604 --> 00:17:46.875
Very positive, non-negative,
00:17:47.476 --> 00:17:51.213
And showed the benefit of being an american
00:17:51.213 --> 00:17:55.084
And brought about what we should be doing
00:17:55.084 --> 00:17:58.187
To help our country.
00:17:58.187 --> 00:18:00.623
And it was so impressive.
00:18:00.623 --> 00:18:03.559
But to see the democrats, which i was one for many years,
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:08.430
And my family too,
00:18:08.430 --> 00:18:09.932
I changed to become a conservative
00:18:09.932 --> 00:18:13.369
Out of things i saw happening.
00:18:13.369 --> 00:18:16.438
And i now see the benefit
00:18:16.438 --> 00:18:19.341
Of being a conservative individual,
00:18:19.341 --> 00:18:22.077
And i appreciate the uplift that was given.
00:18:22.077 --> 00:18:25.314
And i don't- - cyrus.
00:18:25.314 --> 00:18:26.682
I'm sorry, go ahead.
00:18:26.682 --> 00:18:28.350
- [cyrus] i don't understand the democrats
00:18:28.350 --> 00:18:31.053
Being so negative.
00:18:31.053 --> 00:18:33.155
They weren't always negative,
00:18:33.155 --> 00:18:35.291
But they are the most negative, backbiting,
00:18:35.291 --> 00:18:39.895
Hateful people i've ever seen.
00:18:39.895 --> 00:18:42.164
- cyrus, when we played that clip earlier
00:18:42.164 --> 00:18:43.999
From nicole wallace where she essentially said,
00:18:43.999 --> 00:18:46.869
"i hope that that small child
00:18:46.869 --> 00:18:48.470
With brain cancer in the audience doesn't end up
00:18:48.470 --> 00:18:50.606
Becoming a police officer
00:18:50.606 --> 00:18:52.107
That feels like he has to take his own life
00:18:52.107 --> 00:18:53.676
Because he goes through these things," that you're right.
00:18:53.676 --> 00:18:55.811
It's disturbing. it's hateful.
00:18:55.811 --> 00:18:58.280
But what we've seen will in those numbers that a lot
00:18:58.280 --> 00:19:00.849
Of people agree with cyrus,
00:19:00.849 --> 00:19:02.017
That it was a hope-filled speech.
00:19:02.017 --> 00:19:04.453
And this isn't me giving you some
00:19:04.453 --> 00:19:06.121
Republican talking point,
00:19:06.121 --> 00:19:07.656
Some white house approved talking point, as they say.
00:19:07.656 --> 00:19:11.360
As scott steiner once said, the numbers don't lie.
00:19:11.360 --> 00:19:13.929
- right, and when you look at even people
00:19:13.929 --> 00:19:16.865
That aren't necessarily fans of president trump,
00:19:16.865 --> 00:19:19.535
Like megan mccain,
00:19:19.535 --> 00:19:21.003
I may get some hate in the chat for bringing this up,
00:19:21.003 --> 00:19:22.905
But she's at least gonna speak the truth.
00:19:22.905 --> 00:19:24.640
- [logan] yeah, her and tulsi gabbard are pretty close.
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:26.108
- and she said, "not just because i'm a republican,
00:19:26.108 --> 00:19:28.610
But i truly don't know how democrats
00:19:28.610 --> 00:19:31.213
Can compete with any of this.
00:19:31.213 --> 00:19:33.415
I wouldn't even know where to begin
00:19:33.415 --> 00:19:35.250
On how they compete with this."
00:19:35.250 --> 00:19:37.119
And it also showed you though that they didn't know how
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:40.622
To compete with it because they thought what was going
00:19:40.622 --> 00:19:43.425
To be best is walkouts, disruption,
00:19:43.425 --> 00:19:47.229
Yelling and doing things.
00:19:47.229 --> 00:19:49.031
- we texted about this,
00:19:49.031 --> 00:19:50.132
It was a pretty stress-induced moment
00:19:50.132 --> 00:19:51.400
When sort of chaos started breaking out.
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:52.901
It's not what i wanna see right now.
00:19:52.901 --> 00:19:55.204
After multiple trump assassination attempts,
00:19:55.204 --> 00:19:58.640
After the chaos, like after january 6th even,
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:00.976
You could say that, i'm okay with saying that.
00:20:00.976 --> 00:20:02.778
I don't wanna see this kind of chaos anymore.
00:20:02.778 --> 00:20:04.980
I'm over it. enough with it.
00:20:04.980 --> 00:20:08.250
Do your job. that's all we want.
00:20:08.250 --> 00:20:12.321
I don't need the grandstanding,
00:20:12.321 --> 00:20:15.157
I don't need the, you're gonna have your tv moment.
00:20:15.157 --> 00:20:17.960
I want you to go there,
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:19.495
And as president trump said, bring the cost of eggs down.
00:20:19.495 --> 00:20:22.464
Do the job that we gave you, even the democrats.
00:20:23.432 --> 00:20:27.369
If the people voted for you, do the job.
00:20:27.369 --> 00:20:28.971
And the job is not just to make a scene.
00:20:28.971 --> 00:20:31.206
We're gonna continue on to take some more calls.
00:20:31.206 --> 00:20:32.708
Let's go to susie, who's calling in new mexico on youtube.
00:20:32.708 --> 00:20:35.310
Susie, you're on the air.
00:20:35.310 --> 00:20:37.813
- [susie] yes.
00:20:38.180 --> 00:20:39.715
I just wanted to comment on how terrible the democrats were,
00:20:39.715 --> 00:20:44.453
And they really made them to look like idiots last night
00:20:45.587 --> 00:20:48.724
Where they wouldn't even stand
00:20:48.724 --> 00:20:50.993
Or anything for the people who have been murdered,
00:20:50.993 --> 00:20:54.863
The 12-year-old who was killed by the illegal.
00:20:54.863 --> 00:20:59.001
But also, how can these news places
00:20:59.001 --> 00:21:04.673
Sit there and talk so badly
00:21:05.274 --> 00:21:07.676
About that little boy who's been fighting brain cancer?
00:21:07.676 --> 00:21:12.948
And then they have the nerve
00:21:13.549 --> 00:21:15.017
To say such terrible things about him.
00:21:15.017 --> 00:21:19.154
I mean the united- - susie.
00:21:19.154 --> 00:21:20.823
- i think, and i'm not cutting you off,
00:21:20.823 --> 00:21:22.424
We're running a little low on time.
00:21:22.424 --> 00:21:23.959
I think we should play that real quick again as we wrap up.
00:21:23.959 --> 00:21:26.028
Can we play the nicole wallace?
00:21:26.028 --> 00:21:27.362
Can we play it one more time?
00:21:27.362 --> 00:21:28.630
I think you all need to see this because
00:21:28.630 --> 00:21:29.765
There's a lot of new people watching.
00:21:29.765 --> 00:21:31.266
This is the response to a little boy with brain cancer
00:21:31.266 --> 00:21:33.302
Who got to be deputized into the secret service
00:21:33.302 --> 00:21:35.404
As he fights for his life.
00:21:35.404 --> 00:21:36.805
- but i think this was a lesson in finding one thing
00:21:36.805 --> 00:21:39.541
That you let yourself feel.
00:21:39.541 --> 00:21:42.177
And i let myself feel joy about dj,
00:21:42.177 --> 00:21:46.315
And i hope he's alive for another 95 years.
00:21:46.315 --> 00:21:51.587
And i hope he lives the life he wants to live.
00:21:52.488 --> 00:21:55.090
He wants to be a cop. he knows what he wants to do.
00:21:55.090 --> 00:21:56.959
And maybe when you have childhood cancer,
00:21:56.959 --> 00:21:59.328
That crystallizes for you.
00:21:59.328 --> 00:22:00.596
And i hope he has a long life
00:22:00.596 --> 00:22:02.631
As a law enforcement officer,
00:22:02.631 --> 00:22:04.466
But i hope he never has
00:22:04.466 --> 00:22:05.667
To defend the united states capitol
00:22:05.667 --> 00:22:07.269
Against donald trump's supporters.
00:22:07.269 --> 00:22:09.004
And if he does, i hope he isn't one of the six
00:22:09.004 --> 00:22:11.707
Who loses his life to suicide.
00:22:11.707 --> 00:22:13.609
And i hope he isn't one who has
00:22:13.609 --> 00:22:15.310
To testify against the people who carried out acts
00:22:15.310 --> 00:22:17.713
Of seditious conspiracy
00:22:17.713 --> 00:22:19.214
And then live to see donald trump pardon those people.
00:22:19.214 --> 00:22:21.783
- that's where you wanna start throwing stuff at your tv,
00:22:21.783 --> 00:22:23.719
I mean, really, when those kind of moments happen.
00:22:23.719 --> 00:22:26.088
Thankfully probably a lot of our viewers,
00:22:26.088 --> 00:22:27.322
This is the first time they've seen it
00:22:27.322 --> 00:22:28.724
Because they're not watching that propaganda network.
00:22:28.724 --> 00:22:31.226
But it is what it is. i wanna continue on with calls.
00:22:31.226 --> 00:22:34.196
Lori is calling in new hampshire, she's an aclj champion.
00:22:34.196 --> 00:22:36.899
Lori, number one,
00:22:36.899 --> 00:22:39.034
How much i appreciate you.
00:22:39.034 --> 00:22:40.002
An aclj champion is someone
00:22:40.002 --> 00:22:41.169
That gives on a monthly recurring basis.
00:22:41.169 --> 00:22:43.105
And lori, i really do appreciate it. you're on the air.
00:22:43.105 --> 00:22:46.108
- [lori] thank you. and i support you.
00:22:46.108 --> 00:22:48.043
I just wanna strongly state that
00:22:48.043 --> 00:22:49.678
We are not a nation divided.
00:22:49.678 --> 00:22:51.880
And the polls show the support for trump.
00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:54.583
We are seeing a disgusting display
00:22:54.583 --> 00:22:56.552
By a small vocal minority.
00:22:56.552 --> 00:22:58.820
And i would ask them, are you smarter than god?
00:22:58.820 --> 00:23:02.424
In romans 13:1,
00:23:02.424 --> 00:23:04.026
It says the authorities have been established and exist.
00:23:04.026 --> 00:23:08.263
The authorities that exist, excuse me,
00:23:08.263 --> 00:23:10.799
Have been established by god.
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:13.035
So they are resisting god's will.
00:23:13.035 --> 00:23:15.170
You mentioned afghanistan, we had to put up with that.
00:23:15.170 --> 00:23:17.906
But we did because we respect our authority.
00:23:17.906 --> 00:23:21.443
And i would like to see the democrats start
00:23:21.443 --> 00:23:24.012
To do the same thing.
00:23:24.012 --> 00:23:25.414
Thank you.
00:23:25.414 --> 00:23:26.248
- will brought up,
00:23:26.248 --> 00:23:27.416
And one of the callers brought up that
00:23:27.416 --> 00:23:28.550
They don't stand for the other side,
00:23:28.550 --> 00:23:29.718
And that has become fairly normal
00:23:29.718 --> 00:23:31.520
That you don't see a lot of support,
00:23:31.520 --> 00:23:33.355
But maybe not to this extent.
00:23:33.355 --> 00:23:35.090
- right, and i think that's where they showed
00:23:35.090 --> 00:23:37.993
How morally bankrupt they've become is that
00:23:37.993 --> 00:23:41.063
Trump derangement syndrome, as people like to call it,
00:23:41.063 --> 00:23:43.165
Has so infected their minds
00:23:43.165 --> 00:23:44.766
And their ideology that when you hear these tragic stories,
00:23:44.766 --> 00:23:50.038
You can't even give those people respect for being there.
00:23:51.173 --> 00:23:54.810
Whether it be the mother of a child
00:23:54.810 --> 00:23:58.480
Who was killed by illegal immigrants,
00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:01.083
Or it was the family of laken riley.
00:24:01.083 --> 00:24:03.986
They were there and they were strong and bold.
00:24:03.986 --> 00:24:07.389
And the democrats mostly sat.
00:24:07.389 --> 00:24:10.292
Every once in a while, you'd see one stand.
00:24:10.292 --> 00:24:12.861
But i don't know how you can be a comms director in dc
00:24:12.861 --> 00:24:16.031
And work for one of those members of congress
00:24:16.031 --> 00:24:18.066
And be like, "i'm doing such a great job."
00:24:18.066 --> 00:24:20.235
My boss sat for victims of horrific crime
00:24:20.235 --> 00:24:24.373
And didn't stand up or a victim of childhood cancer.
00:24:24.373 --> 00:24:28.210
I would quit that job if i were a comms director
00:24:28.210 --> 00:24:31.813
For a democrat.
00:24:31.813 --> 00:24:33.281
- all right, let's try to take a couple more calls,
00:24:33.281 --> 00:24:34.683
See if we can get to them.
00:24:34.683 --> 00:24:36.151
Let's go to ronald, who's calling in south carolina.
00:24:36.151 --> 00:24:37.452
Watching on rumble, you're on the air.
00:24:37.452 --> 00:24:39.588
- [ronald] yes. thanks for taking my call.
00:24:39.588 --> 00:24:41.223
I just wanted to comment on something
00:24:41.223 --> 00:24:43.125
That logan said about a few weeks back when you were saying
00:24:43.125 --> 00:24:46.828
That one of the senators during the confirmation hearing
00:24:46.828 --> 00:24:49.097
For some trump nominees for his cabinet,
00:24:49.097 --> 00:24:52.300
And you actually said,
00:24:52.300 --> 00:24:53.669
Or the person said that trump deserves
00:24:53.669 --> 00:24:57.639
To have the people that he needs to work with.
00:24:57.639 --> 00:25:00.542
And i thought that was most reassuring
00:25:00.542 --> 00:25:03.445
That respect was coming back not only to the office,
00:25:03.445 --> 00:25:07.549
But actually to the man, donald trump,
00:25:07.549 --> 00:25:10.352
Because of all he had gone through,
00:25:10.352 --> 00:25:11.787
He's still wanting to work in helping this nation.
00:25:11.787 --> 00:25:15.791
And yet seeing a display from schumer
00:25:15.791 --> 00:25:20.262
And all the other and the democrats
00:25:21.063 --> 00:25:22.831
And all their displays and everything.
00:25:22.831 --> 00:25:25.801
It's just one-sided
00:25:25.801 --> 00:25:27.202
Because people are no longer listening to them.
00:25:27.202 --> 00:25:30.439
They want, they're narcissistic they say,
00:25:30.439 --> 00:25:33.008
No, i got something to say and they will listen to me.
00:25:33.008 --> 00:25:35.577
- ronald, we are just running out of time.
00:25:35.577 --> 00:25:36.978
It's the only reason i'm cutting you off.
00:25:36.978 --> 00:25:38.346
I wanna encourage you in the last 30 seconds i have
00:25:38.346 --> 00:25:39.915
With you for today.
00:25:39.915 --> 00:25:41.283
I need you to support the work of the aclj
00:25:41.283 --> 00:25:42.884
That we're doing the good fight right now,
00:25:42.884 --> 00:25:45.120
Fighting the good fight,
00:25:45.120 --> 00:25:46.354
And we are fighting it on your behalf.
00:25:46.354 --> 00:25:48.256
- [jordan] as always, let me thank everybody at tbn
00:25:49.324 --> 00:25:51.927
For providing this time to us at no cost so we
00:25:51.927 --> 00:25:54.796
Can update you on the most important issues of the day.
00:25:54.796 --> 00:25:57.499
From all of us at the aclj, thanks, tbn.
00:25:57.499 --> 00:25:59.768
(soft dramatic music)
00:25:59.768 --> 00:26:03.105
(gentle upbeat music)
00:26:03.105 --> 00:26:03.105
