In this episode, we dive into the recent speech by President Trump, which has been hailed as one of his best yet. Broadcasting live from Eagle Pass, Texas, I share my thoughts on the speech that brought hope and outlined a vision for America's future. Despite my support for Texas independence, I can't help but appreciate the leadership and commitment President Trump has shown. We discuss the reactions from both sides of the political spectrum, highlighting the stark contrast between Trump's dynamic delivery and the Democrats' lackluster response.
We also explore the disturbing behavior of some Democrats during the speech, including Al Green's outburst and the overall refusal to acknowledge key moments, such as the recognition of DJ Daniel, a young cancer survivor. This episode delves into the broader implications of these reactions and what they signify about the current state of American politics.
Additionally, we touch on the financial support needed to keep the podcast running, emphasizing our value-for-value model and the importance of listener contributions. We also discuss the various ways listeners can support the show, from donations to purchasing products through our affiliate links.
Finally, we address the ongoing issues with government spending and the misuse of taxpayer dollars, highlighting recent cuts and the need for reform. We wrap up with a call to action for Texas independence and the importance of standing up for our rights and values.

Welcome to the podcast where every episode promises an unfiltered dive into the eclectic, the profound, and sometimes the absurd. No topic is off limits. Nothing is sacred, and political correctness takes a back seat.
[00:00:30] Unknown:
And to my fellow citizens, America is back.
[00:00:52] Unknown:
Now, there's something you don't hear or haven't heard in a while coming out of this out of the capital. Amen.
[00:01:00] Unknown:
Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this capital and proclaimed the dawn of the golden age of America. From that moment on, it has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country. We have accomplished more in forty three days than most administrations accomplished in four years or eight years and we are just getting started.
[00:01:41] Unknown:
I even stood up. Alright, folks. Welcome to the podcast. This is Joe Rusciello, and we are coming to you tonight live, of course, at the Asylum Studios broadcasting from the pimple on the backside of Texas, the beautiful city of Eagle Pass. And folks, we are going to do the best we can to bring you the best quality talk radio that we could muster without all the bluster. Folks, it is a beautiful Wednesday evening here at Eagle Pass, and we had an incredible an incredible speech last night delivered by, president Trump. And, folks, I don't know if you were able to watch it.
I watched a lot of it. I watched a lot of it live, and then I watched the rest of it later on. But folks, what a speech. What an absolutely incredible speech. You wanna talk about a speech that brought hope, that outlined a vision for the country going forward. This was the speech. President Trump has given some pretty good speeches over the, over the four years in his first term, and of course in the in the in the few months of his second term, six weeks in a second term. And I've listened to many many speeches to the joint sessions of Congress. I've listened to many speeches, to, you know, the State of the Union speeches.
This by far has to be probably one of the best speeches I've heard
[00:03:33] Unknown:
overall,
[00:03:35] Unknown:
let alone president Trump. What a fantastic speech. Man, I'm telling you, I I was sitting there, I was watching this thing, I was putting together furniture while I was doing it, but I as I was sitting here watching this thing, you know, I I just I mean, I I found myself standing up. You know, don't get me wrong folks. I I I am still a proponent of of Texas leaving the union. You remember this? We put this up earlier. I guess not oh, there it is. Yep. Little delay. I'm sorry. Don't care. Still leaving. But folks, this was a great speech.
Like, I don't know what else to say about it. It's it was it was a great speech. And I don't know how, and we're gonna get into this a little bit be because it it's really disturbing how the left, the Democrats, through the entire speech, sat on their hands, didn't stand up once, even at some of the most even at some of the moments that that that you you you you couldn't help but get choked up for. And we're gonna come to those in a little bit. I'm gonna show you some clips if you didn't see them already already, but, the the this was just unbelievable. I was incredibly impressed with the speech, and I and I thought this was fantastic.
And, you know, if if you're not if you're not on board with president Trump's agenda, agenda 47, you need to get on board with it. Look, I love the things he's doing. Don't don't misunderstand what I'm saying here. Like I said, I'm still a proponent of Texas leaving the union. You know, I still stand by Texas independence. I still wanna see that happen in my lifetime. Absolutely. I but but I do have to admit that I I appreciate the leadership that president Trump is showing in in in this particular speech in general. This was this was a a a a great speech.
And the one thing about president Trump that you have to admit is that he's a man of his word. He's if if he's saying it in his speeches, he's gonna follow through on it. Kinda reminds me of my dad. You know, my dad would always promise us things, but my dad worked hard. You know, my dad didn't have a lot of money. But my dad made sure that we had everything that we needed. We may not have had everything we wanted right there on the spot, but we had everything that we needed. And that's that that's president Trump. He's making sure that we have everything that we need to make this country stronger, energy independent, and great again.
And I know you've you've you hear a lot of folks on the on the other side saying, you know, America was never great to begin with. You know what? No country is great, but America came pretty damn close to it. And that's only through the blessings of God and leadership like president Trump's. The men of our founding generation that laid the groundwork for what we have here. I mean, honestly, if they if they were, if they were alive today, they they they would they would have taken to the battlefield already. You know? I mean, our our founding generation revolted over a a a 3¢ tax on tea.
Can can you imagine what they'd be doing now? But another story, another time, this was fantastic. And we're gonna get into it. We're gonna break it down just a little bit for you in a little bit. And I'm really gonna promise you I'm trying not to go over an hour tonight, so we're we we might have to cut it short at some point, might not get to everything that I have lined up. I might I mean, I have, like, between the overlays and the and the and the audio, and the, of the video rather, I have, like, probably thirty thirty clips that I wanna show you.

Alright. Well, with all of that, I think out of the way, did I cover everything? I believe I did. Alright. Well, so last night, President Trump had a joint sessions of Congress, speech, and some people call it a State of the Union. It really wasn't State of the Union, but that's what they call it. And, it it, it was like I said earlier, it was a great speech. It was one that you needed to really catch. You had to watch it. If you haven't seen it, you need to. President Trump was just on point on everything. Alright? He had a total control over the over the room even even though there were some, unnecessary, disruptions, unnecessary drama going on. Of course, you had the the the the Democrats with, their little, premade, paddle their ping pong paddle signs, which we'll see in a minute.
I think we have a picture of it somewhere here. Let me see. So they no. Okay. We didn't screen grab that one. Alright. Well, at any rate, we'll see some of that when we look at some of the clips. So the the Democrats, of course, you know, stomping their feet, holding their breath like babies. That's what they do.
[00:19:29] Unknown:
And,
[00:19:32] Unknown:
and, as the night went on, they got, you know, well, let's do this. Let let's let's go here. Alright? I got a little distracted there for a second. I forgot to do something. But, the the drama began with very early on in the speech when Al Green decided that he was going to, stand up and wave his cane. If you're not familiar who Al Green is, he looks like the, the Geico caveman. Right? So Al Green has, he stood up and he was waving his cane at the president, you know, screaming something, but you really couldn't make out what he was saying. So, we have the audio we have the video of that. Let's let's go to that really quick.
[00:20:22] Unknown:
This is Mike Johnson trying to get control of the room. Maintain the quorum in the house and to cease any further disruptions. That's your warning.
[00:20:32] Unknown:
Well, that's Al Green.
[00:20:36] Unknown:
Members are engaging in willful and continuing breach of the quorum, and the chair is prepared to direct the sergeant at arms to restore order to the joint session.
[00:21:07] Unknown:
Mister Green, take your seat. Take your seat, sir. Take your seat.
[00:21:15] Unknown:
Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concerted disruption of proper decorum, the chair now directs the sergeant at arms to restore order.
[00:21:26] Unknown:
Remove this gentleman from the chamber.
[00:21:35] Unknown:
The look on the president's face is priceless. Then, of course, Al Green gets escorted out to Hey Hey Goodbye, Waving his cane, shouting something intelligible.
[00:22:02] Unknown:
And, of course are directed to uphold and maintain decorum in the house. Mister president, you continue. Thank you.
[00:22:12] Unknown:
Alright. Now so, of course, that's how they they start off the night. And, I I just think it's I I think it's just a a great great picture of what the Democratic party has fallen into. You know, that they they they there's nothing that Donald Trump can say or do that will make them happy. Nothing. Nothing. And, you know, a little bit later on, Mike Johnson went on to, talk to to Sean Hannity, talking about this incident. Somebody like Al Green when he pulls off a stunt like that?
[00:22:50] Unknown:
Well, we escorted him off the floor. He couldn't behave himself. It's quite shameful. It it brought shame on I'm sure his constituents are not proud of that tonight. But I suspect that there'll be a censure resolution brought on the floor to discipline him. We have to do that inside the house. We have to maintain decorum. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:23:07] Unknown:
Which there was. Actually, today, they they did have a, they did have a vote on censure. So Al Green was censured today, for that, just completely inappropriate and completely, disrespectful, behavior on the floor. So, the house moved quickly on that one, and and that that's that's what we want. Alright? We we you need to you need to establish that this behavior is not gonna be tolerated. Because I honestly I've I've seen many, many of these, addresses in the past, and, you know, no matter what, no matter if the president was a Democrat or Republican, the Republican party always gave the office the respect that it deserves.
This is not respectful in any way in any way. And I'm really happy to see that Mike Johnson took that took that step and cleared out, Al Green. And, you know, and folks, Houston Houston, Texas, that's where Al Green is, is is is from. I mean, this is what you put out. This is what you put into office. Just think about it. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Aren't you embarrassed? And the behavior that the Democratic party has had has demonstrated over the course of this of this night, over the speech, clearly, to me at least, demonstrates that the the Democratic party has no leadership. None whatsoever. I mean, yeah, you have Dollar Store Obama and and, and Hakeem Jeffries. Yeah. Yeah.
He's just a suit. You have Nancy Pelosi, crazy Nancy Pelosi. You remember her? This one right here? That was her reaction. That was her face during the entire, the entire address to Congress. Looked absolutely miserable. Look at that. Democrats look miserable as they continue to double down on hating American values tonight. Just a miserable, hateful bunch of people. That that's that's what the Democratic party has become. And, you know, I know I know there are a lot of folks that that grew up with the Democratic party, you know, in the '60. This is not the same party anymore. The this is not the Democratic party that you grew up with. The Republican party welcomes you.
Come. You have a home here where it's normal. Perfect. No. Not by any long shot. Not perfect at all, but normal. Sane, mature, responsible. You look at the democrat, everything's everybody else's fault. The republicans at least take responsibility for what they do and they discipline their people. Did you see the Democratic party stand up and say anything about Al Green's outburst during the course of the no. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. And then, and then and then the president went on to talk about, some of his accomplishments. So he talked about the border.
[00:27:04] Unknown:
Within hours of taking the oath of office, I declared a national emergency on our southern border, and I deployed the US military and border control to repel the invasion of our country. And what a job they've done. As a result, illegal border crossings last month were by far the lowest ever recorded ever. They heard my words and they chose not to come. Much easier that way. In comparison under Joe Biden, the worst president in American history, there were hundreds of thousands of illegal crossings a month. And virtually all of them, including murderers, drug dealers, gang members, and people from mental institutions and insane asylums were released into our country. Who would want to do that?
[00:28:15] Unknown:
Exactly. Who would wanna do that? Why would they wanna do that? But the president went on, he he went down on the list of, these wins. A time for big dreams and bold action.
[00:28:27] Unknown:
Upon taking office, I imposed an immediate freeze on all federal hiring, a freeze on all new federal regulations, and a freeze on all foreign aid. I terminated the ridiculous green new scam. I withdrew from the unfair Paris climate accord, which was costing us trillions of dollars that other countries were not paying. I withdrew from the corrupt World Health Organization. And I also withdrew from the anti American UN human rights council. We ended all of Biden's environmental restrictions that were making our country far less safe and totally unaffordable.
And importantly, we ended the last administration's insane electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto workers and companies from economic destruction. To unshackle our economy, I have directed that for every one new regulation, 10 old regulations must be eliminated just like I did in my very successful first term. And in that first term, we set records on ending unnecessary rules and regulations like no other president had done before. We ordered all federal workers to return to the office. They will either show up for work in person or be removed from their job. And we've ended weaponized government where as an example, a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent like me.
[00:30:59] Unknown:
How did that work out?
[00:31:01] Unknown:
Not too good. Not too good.
[00:31:04] Unknown:
That was probably the one of the best lines of the whole night. That was probably one of the best lines of the whole night. That was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. And actually I had a second clip for that, but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna play that one because that was that was that was sufficient. But, but you look at the list of accomplishments that he's talking about here, and just the reversal of everything that Joe Biden has done, or had done, in just six weeks, and the the the results are there already. You already see, you see the border, You see the border the the the numbers of the border dropping every single day, getting lower and lower and lower, to the point, you know, they got the message, they're not coming, and the ones that do come are getting or that are getting caught or getting turned around and sent sent right back.
Tom Homan is doing a fantastic job with ICE. I don't have any clips to to talk about, what he's been doing, but but Tom Homan's been doing a fantastic job with ICE. I mean, everything that that Donald Trump just said in that clip is observable. But, of course, you know, Democrats are blind to it. They don't wanna see it. But I think probably the best line of the night the best line of the night, came up, in in this clip right here, and I think it's clip number six. Here we go. The media and our friends in the Democrat party kept Now, by the way, I I I cut it off for a reason. This is the, this is the the one moment of the speech last night that social media voted was the best line of the night.
[00:32:48] Unknown:
The media and our friends in the Democrat party kept saying we needed new legislation. We must have legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president.
[00:33:06] Unknown:
That's absolutely right. The one thing I think the American people asked for the most was that we enforce the existing laws. Now that the the legislation that the president was talking about there was, a border bill that that the Democrats put forward that basically, funded everything but the border. Gave billions of billions more dollars to Ukraine, securing their borders and other borders around the world, funding a whole bunch of of of of other little things that, you know, that came through probably USAID, that Doge is and we're gonna talk about some of the things that Doge caught, in the past week, in just a few minutes. But I I can't he he's absolutely right.
For whatever reason there was, Joe Biden did not want to close the border. He could have, just like Donald Trump did, as soon as he took office, declaring a national emergency closing the border. There was no reason why that I can think of that Joe Biden would have kept the borders open. Donald Trump comes in and he does it, and that's that's what we elected him for. That's what we basically hired him for, to restore order. I had, I had that clip turned out under number seven. I'm I'm gonna play it anyway, I think, because I I love it so much. Let's see. Where is it?
Here Here we go. This is right after the new president comment. Talking about lawfare. Using the government to
[00:34:48] Unknown:
government to where as it is, the new president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent like me.
[00:34:59] Unknown:
How did that work out?
[00:35:01] Unknown:
Not too bad. You have to love the asides that he throws out there. This was a great speech, and those are the signs I was talking about. You see them? The musk steels and balls and all that stuff.
[00:35:16] Unknown:
And I have stopped all government censorship and brought back free speech in America. It's back.
[00:35:26] Unknown:
Yes. I'm clapping. And speaking of of free speech by the way. So I don't know if you're aware, but, just a few days ago we opened up a YouTube channel, and, so we we posted like three videos, and the, today, actually right before I went on the show, I got an email that says that I was suspended from YouTube for violating their their business practices. Doesn't say what it was, but I'm suspended. So, you know what? Screw YouTube. Screw Tube. I I I, you know, I don't even need them. You know, my plan was basically to use YouTube, and we tried it tonight. I don't know if it I don't know if it actually broadcast over YouTube or not. We tried it. It hooked up.

Alright. Now that I'm off my little soapbox. Alright. So, Democrats, of course, you know, through the whole speech now before I get to this one, I I just wanna also talk about, you know, some other highlights of the moment of of the night. I think this was a classic moment.
Donald Trump calls out the, make make America healthy again, movement within the MAGA movement, and, of course, he gives RFK Junior the shout out, and, I think this is great. And of but but he but he points out something very, very interesting here, which which, you know, is also kinda funny that, you know, here's Robert Kennedy junior, whose family is known throughout the Democratic party. Obviously, his his his uncle was the was the president of The United States at one point. And the Democrats couldn't even acknowledge with applause. Not saying they have to they have to stand up, give him a standing ovation, but not even to acknowledge with a round of applause for Kennedy.
And that's a shame.
[00:38:16] Unknown:
But take a look. And we've ended weaponized government where as an example, a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent
[00:38:26] Unknown:
like me. I think that's a wrong clip. How did that work out?
[00:38:31] Unknown:
Not too good. Not too good.
[00:38:35] Unknown:
Alright. Sorry about that. I had the wrong clip, and, I don't have the ability to go get to quit I don't have. English is a problem for me tonight. I don't have the ability to go back to get it right now where I could show it to you, but I I apologize. But he called out Robert F Kennedy. He he pointed him out, and, he he had actually had a couple of good jokes about it too, which it just kinda bugs me that I didn't get him. But, but, just sad that the Democrats couldn't even applaud just just on the on the basis of his family history. It's it's disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.
Alright. But this is this is probably the worst moment of the night for the Democrats. President Trump, he he he mentioned a few things tonight. He he talked about Lake and Riley. He talked about Jocelyn Jocelyn Nungari and renaming a, wildlife refuge in honor of Jocelyn Nungari. But this particular moment here, I mean, it it it look. I'm I'm a jerk. Alright? I I I I am I am heartless at times, and nothing really moves me to the point where I get emotional, or at least like a tear in the eye. But this did. This absolutely did. I I I will admit that.
There was a young man in the audience that was up in the gallery. His name was DJ Daniel. Now DJ Daniel is a young man, I think he's 13, if I'm not mistaken, who was given five or six months to live because he had brain cancer, but he survived that. And his lifelong dream was to become a police officer. And last night, president Trump called him out and pointed him out. Let's take a look. I've already signed an executive order. If this doesn't bring a tear already sign If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye, I I I don't know what. He starts off by talking about law enforcement officers signing a bill that makes the death penalty for killing a law enforcement officer, then it goes into, DJ Daniel.
[00:41:12] Unknown:
I've already signed an executive order requiring a mandatory death penalty for anyone who murders a police officer, and tonight I'm asking congress to pass that policy into permanent law. I'm also asking for a new crime bill getting tough on repeat offenders while enhancing protections for America's Police Officers so they can do their jobs without fear of their lives being totally destroyed. They don't wanna be killed. We're not gonna let them be killed. Joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police. His name is DJ Daniel. He is 13 years old, and he has always dreamed of becoming a police officer.
[00:42:24] Unknown:
And not one Democrat applauded, not one Democrat stood up. Disgusting.
[00:42:51] Unknown:
But in 2018, DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctors gave him five months at most to live. That was more than six years ago. Since that time, DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true, and DJ has been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer, actually, a number of times. Peace the police love him. The police departments love him. And tonight, DJ, we're going to do you the biggest honor of them all. I am asking our new Secret Service director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States
[00:43:56] Unknown:
Secret Service. Look at his face. That is priceless. Absolutely priceless. That's, that's Sean Curran right there. That's he's the, director of the of the Secret Service. There he goes. He got his credentials. Look at that. That is amazing. Enchanting his name DJ DJ DJ.
[00:44:43] Unknown:
Thank you, DJ. I am asking our new secret service director Have to watch that again, folks. To officially make you an agent of the United States secret service.
[00:45:02] Unknown:
I just want you to look at his face. Now this isn't staged. The Democrats have staged something like this, but this isn't staged. That that's probably one of the mo that's probably the moment of the night right there. That's probably the moment of the night right there. That and and these horrible, horrible, heartless, disgusting, despicable leftists couldn't find it in themselves to stand up for that. Folks, there is something wrong with these people. Liberalism is a mental illness, and I guarantee you I guarantee you that they they that they would probably have would have much rather have seen DJ no. I'm not even gonna go there.
I'm not gonna go there because I'll become like Nicole Wallace. I'm not gonna say it, because I'm gonna I'm gonna show you the clip later on. But folks, that moment right there was the picture of the whole speech in one shot. This isn't about racial division. This isn't about, equity. This is about equality. This isn't about, this isn't about, pushing an extreme agenda. This is about the American people. This is this is what America is all about. Just an absolutely incredible speech. In fact, you know, after the speech, of course, you know, they do they do these, you have you have your reactions from the from the both parties and so on and so forth. But, there was a poll taken, a CBS poll that, that said, that 76% of Americans viewing the speech approved Trump's remarks, only with 23% disapproving. That's less than a quarter.
We got the overlay coming up on the screen. 68% of viewers described Trump's speech as a as hopeful, with a majority also describing it as presidential, inspiring, and unifying. Did it come up yet? There we go. Inspiring, unifying, and entertaining. And it was. There was a lot of fun moments in the speech. It was, you know, president Trump has a sense of humor. He runs his material out. He tries it out. Look at that. 76 of 76% approve of Trump's speech, 23% disapprove. And that's a CBS poll, folks. That that's a left leaning organization. That's CBS. So clearly clearly, a majority of Americans that watched the speech felt that he focused on the issues, particularly the issues that matter to them.
More than two thirds of viewers said that Trump had a clear plan to tackle inflation that began under Joe Biden. Three quarters of respondents who supported Trump's proposals on reducing governmental waste, Immigration, border security. And despite the negative press that the that president Trump was getting, you know, leading up to the speech, Nearly one quarter of the viewers approved of Trump's approach in handling Ukraine and Russia. That's that's you can't get 70% of the American people to to agree on anything, but yet they agree on that. That's absolutely amazing.
And it shows that there's a definite shift in this country from from from from blue to red. I think that people saw the direction that the Democratic Party is going, don't want us continue to see that they don't want their children subjected to it. That's why that's why president Trump won the popular vote. That's why he won the electoral college. That's why he won the majority of the counties. All shifting red. Now for some of the some of the other reactions that we've gotten, before we get to that, I wanna show you a contrast. I want so I've shown you plenty of clips about, from from last night.
But I wanna show you this clip, and I want you to compare what you've just seen with president Trump with this.
[00:51:17] Unknown:
Was a child suffering from an autoimmune disease. Wrote to me. Said she's worried, and she was worried about bringing the virus home. She said she then got vaccinated at a at a large site in her car.
[00:51:30] Unknown:
She said she sat Look at the two of them sitting behind them with the mask on. Cried.
[00:51:34] Unknown:
Cried out of joy. It's like every shot is giving a dose of hope. Grandparents hugging their children and grandchildren instead of pressing hands against the window. The economy created more than 1,300,000 new jobs in a hundred days. We have to do more than just build back better. We build back. We have to build back better. Scientific breakthroughs took us to the moon. Now we're on Mars discovering vaccines, gave us the Internet, and so much more. It's following 500,000 charging stations along our highways. So let's end cancer as we know it. I spent a lot of time with president Xi. Traveled over 17,000 miles with him.
We're gonna decide what we do in terms of government providing for free education. Health care should be a right, not a privilege in America. I think you should be able to become a billionaire and a millionaire, but pay your fair share. I've made it known. That creepy, whisper. I've made it known. America's back. If we act to save the planet America's back. We can create millions of jobs. With regard to Russia, I know it concerns some of you. But I made very clear to Putin, he understands, and no amendment to the constitution is absolute.
I'm the first president of forty years who knows what it means to have a son serving in a war zone. The insurrection was an existential crisis, and we won't ignore what our intelligence agency had determined to be the most lethal terrorist threat to the homeland today. White supremacy. When I spoke with Gianna Floyd, George Floyd's young daughter, She's a little tyke, so I was kneeling down to talk to her. She looked at me. She said Of course, he was. My daddy changed the world. We had to also have to get at the root problem of why people are fleeing, particularly this to our southern border from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. I asked vice president Harris to lead our diplomatic effort to take care of this. I have absolute confidence she'll get the job done.
[00:53:39] Unknown:
But she wasn't. The borders are, was she? According to them, later. Anyway, I'm sorry, I was falling asleep watching, Joe Biden there. But do you see the difference? Do you see the differ Donald Trump, seventy eight years old. Joe Biden, pushing 80. More or less the same age. Do do you see the difference? It it's it's I I I I can't find the words for it because it's it's just so blatantly obvious right in your face. He lies. He lied about pain. He lied about the vaccine. He lied about everything. He lifted up a a man who was a criminal, who died from a fentanyl overdose.
I don't know what else to tell you. But probably the, most despicable, absolutely despicable reaction that I came across to, the, the speech last night was put forward by, MSNBC's Nicole Wallace. I'm sure you've heard this, where she talked about well, during the meet during the speech, but we already played the clip where where where president Trump talked about Daniel, DJ Daniel, you know, the 13 year old cancer survivor. You know? He was made an honorary secret service agent. And, of course, you know, she was on MSNBC, so Rachel Maddow was was talking about, you know, how, Donald Trump was politicizing the youngster's recovery, and and, and then Wallace made her remarks.
Disgusting remark because somehow, some way, she took this young man's story and twisted it. Well, let me play it for you first, and then we'll we'll get to that. Here's Nicole
[00:56:19] Unknown:
Wallace. But I think this was a lesson in finding one thing that that you let yourself feel. And I let myself feel, joy about DJ. And I hope he's alive for another, you know, ninety five years. Right? And I hope he lives, and the life he wants to live, he wants to be a cop. He knows what he wants to do. And maybe when you have childhood cancer, that crystallizes for you. And I hope he has a long life as as a law enforcement officer. But I hope he never has to defend The United States Capitol against Donald Trump supporters. And if he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide. And I hope he isn't one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then live to see Donald Trump pardon those people.
[00:57:07] Unknown:
And Rachel Maddow says that Donald Trump politicized this this child. What a horrible, horrible thing to say. How do you how do you how do you link this child, this young man, 13 years old, this young man, how do you link this young man to to to January 6? And then you say you hope the kid doesn't kill himself? Because he goes into law enforcement and has to defend the capital. First of all, six people did not commit suicide as a result of the walking tour of the capital. It wasn't an insurrection. Alright? But this is disgusting. This is a disgusting position to take.
And, of course, it it, it picked up a lot of, a lot of response on on on x, on Twitter. MSNBC are communist and should lose their FCC license. Another one says she's disgusting. Fire her. She's disgusting. How horrible. Get this trash off television. What's wrong with these people? So much hate, and yet we have the greatest country to live in. If they hate it, leave it. Disgusting. Vile. But, folks, this is the left. This is when I say that liberalism is a mental illness, I'm not kidding. This is this is a mental illness. And Maddow even said that, she she quote she she said that, that, that the president made a spectacle out of out of out of praising a young man who who who survived pediatric cancer as if he had something to do with it, the president.
Donald Trump never took credit for Daniel's recovery. He never said a word about him taking credit for it. He what he did is he recognized that this young man went through a horrible, horrible journey, survived cancer, brain cancer, and multiple surgeries, And through it all, he kept a positive attitude about the whole thing, and his ambition to become a law enforcement officer, to become a cop, to wear a uniform when he becomes an adult. A year ago before this before the speech, and I wish I would have pulled that video because I I had it, and I said, I don't know if I'm gonna go into this, but but a year ago, Daniel wearing the same uniform that he was wearing at the speech was taunted and teased and made fun of by a crowd outside of a place where Donald Trump was speaking.
God bless this young man. And what Donald Trump did for him tonight, last night, was huge. I mean, you saw the video. I played it for you. You can you can look it up for yourself. The look on that young man's face when Donald Trump said that they were gonna deputize him as a sec secret service agent. I mean, how do you sit on your hands? But yet the Democratic party did. They sat there on their hands, didn't applaud, didn't stand up, that's the Democratic party. And if you are still a Democrat after this, after seeing how they reacted to success in closing the border, to this young man fighting and defeating cancer, to, renaming the, a national wildlife refuge after Jocelyn Nungari, the Lake and Riley Act sitting on their hands because they value an illegal immigrant over an American citizen.
How are you still supporting the Democratic party? If they continue on this track, I I I'm telling you, their days are numbered as a party. And not only not only immigrants, illegal immigrants. What about drag queen story hour? What about going after the children? What about those things that that they have thrown in your face? Don't you remember all the parades that were taking place with with with with men wearing practically nothing? Walking down a street waving themselves in front of children, and they think that that's okay, that that's normal.
Oh my god, folks. Liberalism is a mental disorder. It's a mental illness. I I just I don't understand it. Alright. If you have any questions or comments about what we're talking about tonight, just drop them down there in the comment section. If you're if you're watching and wanna leave a a message to us in the live chat, please do so. We'd appreciate that. But I think what we're gonna do now is we're gonna move on to something else, and then we're gonna close it up really quick because we're over the hour already. So let's hit some Doge news.
Let's take a look here. Some Doge news. So yesterday, the NIH canceled seven grants for, you ready for this, transgender experiments on animals including 532,000 to use mouse model to investigate the effects of cross sex testosterone treatment. Thirty three thousand dollars should test feminizing hormone therapy in a male rat. What the what the hell is this? Our tax money going to this. This is what the Democrats are fighting for. This is what they're complaining about. This is what they're saying, is is something that that that Elon Musk should not be getting involved with and should be leaving alone. Or how about this one?
Working with the talented team at Doge, I just canceled an additional 21 grants. Lee Zeldin saying this. 21 grants saving over a hundred $16,000,000 for the American people. This third round of EPA Doge cuts have brought our total savings up to $287,000,000. And then Doge included here, nice job. This included a $4,000,000 grant to provide materials to, quote, increase workforce diversity in the construction material sector. This is what your tax dollars are going to pay for. This is what the Democrats are fighting so hard for. In 02/2020 and 02/2021, the Small Business Association, s b a dot s b a gov issued 3,095 loans, including PPP, paycheck protection program, and EIDL, economic injury disaster loans, for 330,000,000 $333,000,000.
You ready? To borrowers over a hundred fifteen years old who were still marked as alive in the social security database, and in one case, a 157 year old individual received $36,000 in loans. And folks, you wonder where or you wonder how your elected representatives go into
[01:06:54] Unknown:
Congress,
[01:06:58] Unknown:
and on a 74,000 a year salary somehow become multimillionaires in in in two years, four years, whatever the case may be. Why? Because that's where your money's going. That's where a 57 year old individual collecting $336,000 in loans from the small business association. Unbelievable. While you're struggling to put food on your table to pay your bills, your elected representatives are pocketing money. I'm pointing at my monitor up here. I'm sorry. Are are are pocketing the money that you're paying into the tax system that's supposed to be going for things here in The United States, but people who are 57 years old are collecting $36,000 in small business loans.
Unbelievable. How about this one? Credit cards. Credit card bills. Why don't you take a look at this up on the screen there? Weekly credit card update. Pilot program has been has been expanded to 16 agencies to audit unused credit cards. After two weeks, a 46,000 cards have been deact a 46,000 cards have been deactivated. Look at that. Spending your money, your tax dollars, my tax dollars. It's unbelievable. This is why I say that the IRS needs to be abolished. The income tax needs to be abolished. People say, well, what are you gonna replace it with? Nothing. No flat tax. No fair tax. Nothing. There should be no income tax at all. At all.
We were fine prior to the income tax. The income tax has just generated poverty. That's it. We need to get rid of the IRS, get rid of the income tax, subsidize everything we need to subsidize with with tariffs. And look, don't cry about tariffs. Oh, Canada's putting a bigger tariff on us. Look. These are reciprocal tariffs that president Trump is putting in place. Reciprocal. Which means that the countries that we are putting tariffs on have tariffs on us. Okay? We are only doing what they're doing to us. Why should we be paying tariffs and nobody else? Why is that? Can you explain that to me?
Of course you can't, because it doesn't make sense. Our country was wealthier with tariffs as opposed to the income tax. Income tax was supposed to be temporary to pay for war debt, which is probably the reason why they have perpetual war so they can justify it that way. But income tax at the federal level is immoral. It's unconstitutional. Oh, no. The thirteenth amendment said no. It was improperly ratified. It is invalid. And I know president Trump said during his campaign that he was going to abolish the income tax, abolish the IRS.
I hope he does. It looks like it's going that way. They're talking about reducing the IRS staff by by half. Let's go all the way. Get rid of it. Get rid of it. What else we got? So some more Doge stuff. Let's see. The Inter American Foundation, an agency whose primary action was to issue foreign grants, $60,000,000 budget, has been reduced to its statutory minimum, one active employee. And just some examples of some of the grants that were canceled in the process. You ready? $903,000 for alpaca farming in Peru. Three Hundred Forty Six Thousand Five Hundred tax dollars to reduce you ready for this one? Social discrimination of recyclers in Bolivia.
So because some people who recycle in Bolivia were being teased, our government decided to give him $365,000. 8 hundred 13 thousand dollars for vegetable gardens in El Salvador. Three Hundred I just wonder. How many how many homes or or apartments or or or or hotel places or or food can $813,000 buy for our veterans that are on the street? But yet we're giving it to El Salvador for vegetable gardens. Or how about $323,633 to to promote cultural understanding of Venezuelan migrants in Brazil? How about you go back to Venezuela? Seven Hundred Thirty One Thousand to improve marketability of mushrooms and peas in Guatemala.
Six Hundred Seventy Seven Thousand to expand fruit and jam sales in in Honduras? Really? Is that a problem? Is that really a problem? $483,000 to improve art artisanal salt production. Artisanal salt, like, you know, Himalayan rock salt. Artisanal rock salt. Artisanal salt in, production in Ecuador. And and 39,000 for beekeeping in Brazil. Folks, I could go on. There's more, but I'm not going to because it's ridiculous. Ridiculous. This is where your money is going. While you're struggling to pay your bills, while you're struggling to put food on your table, your government is taking your tax dollars and sending it there, to those places that we just pointed out.
And then they wanna question you about a $600 transaction on your Cash App. Oh my god, people. The system is broken. It is so broken. It's beyond repair. It needs to be torn down. It needs to be rebuilt minus several things. Now's the time folks, we gotta do it now. Alright folks, we're over the hour by a lot. So we're gonna we're gonna wrap this thing up here tonight. I had I had so many more things I wanted to show you, like the the, the the, the all the same speech that all the Democrats gave afterwards. 22 Democratic representatives, Senate congressional representatives all posted videos following the same script.
[01:15:42] Unknown:
You know what? Let me show it to you. Let me let me show it to you anyway.
[01:15:46] Unknown:
Here you go.
[01:15:48] Unknown:
When I went, I will immediately break prices down starting on day one. Look at that.
[01:15:53] Unknown:
That's what you just heard. Same script, same maneuvers, same microphone, everything. You get the idea? There's another minute and twenty five seconds of that, and I I I can't. My I got a headache already. Same script, same speech. Alright. Same exact setting, they all sit down at the same time, microphone, everything's all the same. I guess when they cut the USAID money, they also cut the budget for their speech writers, so they they they only have one person, so they only have to have one script. Right? But do you understand that the democratic party is a joke?
The democratic party is all show? There's not an original thought within it? Unbelievable. They definitely need new script writers. And folks, there was more. I I had had some Ted Cruz comments. I'm not gonna get into that now. It's it's it's too much, too long. So what we're gonna do here is we're just gonna say our good nights.

Well, that's about it, really. The film ends mainly visually.
Welcome to the podcast where every episode promises an unfiltered dive into the eclectic, the profound, and sometimes the absurd. No topic is off limits. Nothing is sacred, and political correctness takes a back seat.
[00:00:30] Unknown:
And to my fellow citizens, America is back.
[00:00:52] Unknown:
Now, there's something you don't hear or haven't heard in a while coming out of this out of the capital. Amen.
[00:01:00] Unknown:
Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this capital and proclaimed the dawn of the golden age of America. From that moment on, it has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country. We have accomplished more in forty three days than most administrations accomplished in four years or eight years and we are just getting started.
[00:01:41] Unknown:
I even stood up. Alright, folks. Welcome to the podcast. This is Joe Rusciello, and we are coming to you tonight live, of course, at the Asylum Studios broadcasting from the pimple on the backside of Texas, the beautiful city of Eagle Pass. And folks, we are going to do the best we can to bring you the best quality talk radio that we could muster without all the bluster. Folks, it is a beautiful Wednesday evening here at Eagle Pass, and we had an incredible an incredible speech last night delivered by, president Trump. And, folks, I don't know if you were able to watch it.
I watched a lot of it. I watched a lot of it live, and then I watched the rest of it later on. But folks, what a speech. What an absolutely incredible speech. You wanna talk about a speech that brought hope, that outlined a vision for the country going forward. This was the speech. President Trump has given some pretty good speeches over the, over the four years in his first term, and of course in the in the in the few months of his second term, six weeks in a second term. And I've listened to many many speeches to the joint sessions of Congress. I've listened to many speeches, to, you know, the State of the Union speeches.
This by far has to be probably one of the best speeches I've heard
[00:03:33] Unknown:
overall,
[00:03:35] Unknown:
let alone president Trump. What a fantastic speech. Man, I'm telling you, I I was sitting there, I was watching this thing, I was putting together furniture while I was doing it, but I as I was sitting here watching this thing, you know, I I just I mean, I I found myself standing up. You know, don't get me wrong folks. I I I am still a proponent of of Texas leaving the union. You remember this? We put this up earlier. I guess not oh, there it is. Yep. Little delay. I'm sorry. Don't care. Still leaving. But folks, this was a great speech.
Like, I don't know what else to say about it. It's it was it was a great speech. And I don't know how, and we're gonna get into this a little bit be because it it's really disturbing how the left, the Democrats, through the entire speech, sat on their hands, didn't stand up once, even at some of the most even at some of the moments that that that you you you you couldn't help but get choked up for. And we're gonna come to those in a little bit. I'm gonna show you some clips if you didn't see them already already, but, the the this was just unbelievable. I was incredibly impressed with the speech, and I and I thought this was fantastic.
And, you know, if if you're not if you're not on board with president Trump's agenda, agenda 47, you need to get on board with it. Look, I love the things he's doing. Don't don't misunderstand what I'm saying here. Like I said, I'm still a proponent of Texas leaving the union. You know, I still stand by Texas independence. I still wanna see that happen in my lifetime. Absolutely. I but but I do have to admit that I I appreciate the leadership that president Trump is showing in in in this particular speech in general. This was this was a a a a great speech.
And the one thing about president Trump that you have to admit is that he's a man of his word. He's if if he's saying it in his speeches, he's gonna follow through on it. Kinda reminds me of my dad. You know, my dad would always promise us things, but my dad worked hard. You know, my dad didn't have a lot of money. But my dad made sure that we had everything that we needed. We may not have had everything we wanted right there on the spot, but we had everything that we needed. And that's that that's president Trump. He's making sure that we have everything that we need to make this country stronger, energy independent, and great again.
And I know you've you've you hear a lot of folks on the on the other side saying, you know, America was never great to begin with. You know what? No country is great, but America came pretty damn close to it. And that's only through the blessings of God and leadership like president Trump's. The men of our founding generation that laid the groundwork for what we have here. I mean, honestly, if they if they were, if they were alive today, they they they would they would have taken to the battlefield already. You know? I mean, our our founding generation revolted over a a a 3¢ tax on tea.
Can can you imagine what they'd be doing now? But another story, another time, this was fantastic. And we're gonna get into it. We're gonna break it down just a little bit for you in a little bit. And I'm really gonna promise you I'm trying not to go over an hour tonight, so we're we we might have to cut it short at some point, might not get to everything that I have lined up. I might I mean, I have, like, between the overlays and the and the and the audio, and the, of the video rather, I have, like, probably thirty thirty clips that I wanna show you.
So we're gonna do our very, very best to get to all of them. Alright. But before we do that, just a little housekeeping here.

Alright. Well, with all of that, I think out of the way, did I cover everything? I believe I did. Alright. Well, so last night, President Trump had a joint sessions of Congress, speech, and some people call it a State of the Union. It really wasn't State of the Union, but that's what they call it. And, it it, it was like I said earlier, it was a great speech. It was one that you needed to really catch. You had to watch it. If you haven't seen it, you need to. President Trump was just on point on everything. Alright? He had a total control over the over the room even even though there were some, unnecessary, disruptions, unnecessary drama going on. Of course, you had the the the the Democrats with, their little, premade, paddle their ping pong paddle signs, which we'll see in a minute.
I think we have a picture of it somewhere here. Let me see. So they no. Okay. We didn't screen grab that one. Alright. Well, at any rate, we'll see some of that when we look at some of the clips. So the the Democrats, of course, you know, stomping their feet, holding their breath like babies. That's what they do.
[00:19:29] Unknown:
And,
[00:19:32] Unknown:
and, as the night went on, they got, you know, well, let's do this. Let let's let's go here. Alright? I got a little distracted there for a second. I forgot to do something. But, the the drama began with very early on in the speech when Al Green decided that he was going to, stand up and wave his cane. If you're not familiar who Al Green is, he looks like the, the Geico caveman. Right? So Al Green has, he stood up and he was waving his cane at the president, you know, screaming something, but you really couldn't make out what he was saying. So, we have the audio we have the video of that. Let's let's go to that really quick.
[00:20:22] Unknown:
This is Mike Johnson trying to get control of the room. Maintain the quorum in the house and to cease any further disruptions. That's your warning.
[00:20:32] Unknown:
Well, that's Al Green.
[00:20:36] Unknown:
Members are engaging in willful and continuing breach of the quorum, and the chair is prepared to direct the sergeant at arms to restore order to the joint session.
[00:21:07] Unknown:
Mister Green, take your seat. Take your seat, sir. Take your seat.
[00:21:15] Unknown:
Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concerted disruption of proper decorum, the chair now directs the sergeant at arms to restore order.
[00:21:26] Unknown:
Remove this gentleman from the chamber.
[00:21:35] Unknown:
The look on the president's face is priceless. Then, of course, Al Green gets escorted out to Hey Hey Goodbye, Waving his cane, shouting something intelligible.
[00:22:02] Unknown:
And, of course are directed to uphold and maintain decorum in the house. Mister president, you continue. Thank you.
[00:22:12] Unknown:
Alright. Now so, of course, that's how they they start off the night. And, I I just think it's I I think it's just a a great great picture of what the Democratic party has fallen into. You know, that they they they there's nothing that Donald Trump can say or do that will make them happy. Nothing. Nothing. And, you know, a little bit later on, Mike Johnson went on to, talk to to Sean Hannity, talking about this incident. Somebody like Al Green when he pulls off a stunt like that?
[00:22:50] Unknown:
Well, we escorted him off the floor. He couldn't behave himself. It's quite shameful. It it brought shame on I'm sure his constituents are not proud of that tonight. But I suspect that there'll be a censure resolution brought on the floor to discipline him. We have to do that inside the house. We have to maintain decorum. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:23:07] Unknown:
Which there was. Actually, today, they they did have a, they did have a vote on censure. So Al Green was censured today, for that, just completely inappropriate and completely, disrespectful, behavior on the floor. So, the house moved quickly on that one, and and that that's that's what we want. Alright? We we you need to you need to establish that this behavior is not gonna be tolerated. Because I honestly I've I've seen many, many of these, addresses in the past, and, you know, no matter what, no matter if the president was a Democrat or Republican, the Republican party always gave the office the respect that it deserves.
This is not respectful in any way in any way. And I'm really happy to see that Mike Johnson took that took that step and cleared out, Al Green. And, you know, and folks, Houston Houston, Texas, that's where Al Green is, is is is from. I mean, this is what you put out. This is what you put into office. Just think about it. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Aren't you embarrassed? And the behavior that the Democratic party has had has demonstrated over the course of this of this night, over the speech, clearly, to me at least, demonstrates that the the Democratic party has no leadership. None whatsoever. I mean, yeah, you have Dollar Store Obama and and, and Hakeem Jeffries. Yeah. Yeah.
He's just a suit. You have Nancy Pelosi, crazy Nancy Pelosi. You remember her? This one right here? That was her reaction. That was her face during the entire, the entire address to Congress. Looked absolutely miserable. Look at that. Democrats look miserable as they continue to double down on hating American values tonight. Just a miserable, hateful bunch of people. That that's that's what the Democratic party has become. And, you know, I know I know there are a lot of folks that that grew up with the Democratic party, you know, in the '60. This is not the same party anymore. The this is not the Democratic party that you grew up with. The Republican party welcomes you.
Come. You have a home here where it's normal. Perfect. No. Not by any long shot. Not perfect at all, but normal. Sane, mature, responsible. You look at the democrat, everything's everybody else's fault. The republicans at least take responsibility for what they do and they discipline their people. Did you see the Democratic party stand up and say anything about Al Green's outburst during the course of the no. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. And then, and then and then the president went on to talk about, some of his accomplishments. So he talked about the border.
[00:27:04] Unknown:
Within hours of taking the oath of office, I declared a national emergency on our southern border, and I deployed the US military and border control to repel the invasion of our country. And what a job they've done. As a result, illegal border crossings last month were by far the lowest ever recorded ever. They heard my words and they chose not to come. Much easier that way. In comparison under Joe Biden, the worst president in American history, there were hundreds of thousands of illegal crossings a month. And virtually all of them, including murderers, drug dealers, gang members, and people from mental institutions and insane asylums were released into our country. Who would want to do that?
[00:28:15] Unknown:
Exactly. Who would wanna do that? Why would they wanna do that? But the president went on, he he went down on the list of, these wins. A time for big dreams and bold action.
[00:28:27] Unknown:
Upon taking office, I imposed an immediate freeze on all federal hiring, a freeze on all new federal regulations, and a freeze on all foreign aid. I terminated the ridiculous green new scam. I withdrew from the unfair Paris climate accord, which was costing us trillions of dollars that other countries were not paying. I withdrew from the corrupt World Health Organization. And I also withdrew from the anti American UN human rights council. We ended all of Biden's environmental restrictions that were making our country far less safe and totally unaffordable.
And importantly, we ended the last administration's insane electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto workers and companies from economic destruction. To unshackle our economy, I have directed that for every one new regulation, 10 old regulations must be eliminated just like I did in my very successful first term. And in that first term, we set records on ending unnecessary rules and regulations like no other president had done before. We ordered all federal workers to return to the office. They will either show up for work in person or be removed from their job. And we've ended weaponized government where as an example, a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent like me.
[00:30:59] Unknown:
How did that work out?
[00:31:01] Unknown:
Not too good. Not too good.
[00:31:04] Unknown:
That was probably the one of the best lines of the whole night. That was probably one of the best lines of the whole night. That was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. And actually I had a second clip for that, but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna play that one because that was that was that was sufficient. But, but you look at the list of accomplishments that he's talking about here, and just the reversal of everything that Joe Biden has done, or had done, in just six weeks, and the the the results are there already. You already see, you see the border, You see the border the the the numbers of the border dropping every single day, getting lower and lower and lower, to the point, you know, they got the message, they're not coming, and the ones that do come are getting or that are getting caught or getting turned around and sent sent right back.
Tom Homan is doing a fantastic job with ICE. I don't have any clips to to talk about, what he's been doing, but but Tom Homan's been doing a fantastic job with ICE. I mean, everything that that Donald Trump just said in that clip is observable. But, of course, you know, Democrats are blind to it. They don't wanna see it. But I think probably the best line of the night the best line of the night, came up, in in this clip right here, and I think it's clip number six. Here we go. The media and our friends in the Democrat party kept Now, by the way, I I I cut it off for a reason. This is the, this is the the one moment of the speech last night that social media voted was the best line of the night.
[00:32:48] Unknown:
The media and our friends in the Democrat party kept saying we needed new legislation. We must have legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president.
[00:33:06] Unknown:
That's absolutely right. The one thing I think the American people asked for the most was that we enforce the existing laws. Now that the the legislation that the president was talking about there was, a border bill that that the Democrats put forward that basically, funded everything but the border. Gave billions of billions more dollars to Ukraine, securing their borders and other borders around the world, funding a whole bunch of of of of other little things that, you know, that came through probably USAID, that Doge is and we're gonna talk about some of the things that Doge caught, in the past week, in just a few minutes. But I I can't he he's absolutely right.
For whatever reason there was, Joe Biden did not want to close the border. He could have, just like Donald Trump did, as soon as he took office, declaring a national emergency closing the border. There was no reason why that I can think of that Joe Biden would have kept the borders open. Donald Trump comes in and he does it, and that's that's what we elected him for. That's what we basically hired him for, to restore order. I had, I had that clip turned out under number seven. I'm I'm gonna play it anyway, I think, because I I love it so much. Let's see. Where is it?
Here Here we go. This is right after the new president comment. Talking about lawfare. Using the government to
[00:34:48] Unknown:
government to where as it is, the new president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent like me.
[00:34:59] Unknown:
How did that work out?
[00:35:01] Unknown:
Not too bad. You have to love the asides that he throws out there. This was a great speech, and those are the signs I was talking about. You see them? The musk steels and balls and all that stuff.
[00:35:16] Unknown:
And I have stopped all government censorship and brought back free speech in America. It's back.
[00:35:26] Unknown:
Yes. I'm clapping. And speaking of of free speech by the way. So I don't know if you're aware, but, just a few days ago we opened up a YouTube channel, and, so we we posted like three videos, and the, today, actually right before I went on the show, I got an email that says that I was suspended from YouTube for violating their their business practices. Doesn't say what it was, but I'm suspended. So, you know what? Screw YouTube. Screw Tube. I I I, you know, I don't even need them. You know, my plan was basically to use YouTube, and we tried it tonight. I don't know if it I don't know if it actually broadcast over YouTube or not. We tried it. It hooked up. I don't know what happened. But, you know, we only broadcast a portion of the show, and then we cut it off, and they get a little banner up there that says, hey, we're still broadcasting, but if you wanna see it, you gotta go to Rumble. Alright? Rumble is the free speech platform you need to be on. If you are a if you are on YouTube, if you're still watching on YouTube, if you're listening and and you got cut off on YouTube, get the hell off YouTube.
Come to Rumble. Rumble is the place to be. Free speech, uncensored, this is where you have to be. Full disclosure, I am a shareholder of of Rumble, so that's why I'm telling you this, but I really believe what I'm telling you. Rumble is the place to go. So please, come on over to Rumble, go to rumble.com, download the app, follow the show here, click that subscribe button, and not only that, but also click that notification bell so you get notified every time we have a show that goes live. Alright. Now that I'm off my little soapbox. Alright. So, Democrats, of course, you know, through the whole speech now before I get to this one, I I just wanna also talk about, you know, some other highlights of the moment of of the night. I think this was a classic moment.
Donald Trump calls out the, make make America healthy again, movement within the MAGA movement, and, of course, he gives RFK Junior the shout out, and, I think this is great. And of but but he but he points out something very, very interesting here, which which, you know, is also kinda funny that, you know, here's Robert Kennedy junior, whose family is known throughout the Democratic party. Obviously, his his his uncle was the was the president of The United States at one point. And the Democrats couldn't even acknowledge with applause. Not saying they have to they have to stand up, give him a standing ovation, but not even to acknowledge with a round of applause for Kennedy.
And that's a shame.
[00:38:16] Unknown:
But take a look. And we've ended weaponized government where as an example, a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent
[00:38:26] Unknown:
like me. I think that's a wrong clip. How did that work out?
[00:38:31] Unknown:
Not too good. Not too good.
[00:38:35] Unknown:
Alright. Sorry about that. I had the wrong clip, and, I don't have the ability to go get to quit I don't have. English is a problem for me tonight. I don't have the ability to go back to get it right now where I could show it to you, but I I apologize. But he called out Robert F Kennedy. He he pointed him out, and, he he had actually had a couple of good jokes about it too, which it just kinda bugs me that I didn't get him. But, but, just sad that the Democrats couldn't even applaud just just on the on the basis of his family history. It's it's disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.
Alright. But this is this is probably the worst moment of the night for the Democrats. President Trump, he he he mentioned a few things tonight. He he talked about Lake and Riley. He talked about Jocelyn Jocelyn Nungari and renaming a, wildlife refuge in honor of Jocelyn Nungari. But this particular moment here, I mean, it it it look. I'm I'm a jerk. Alright? I I I I am I am heartless at times, and nothing really moves me to the point where I get emotional, or at least like a tear in the eye. But this did. This absolutely did. I I I will admit that.
There was a young man in the audience that was up in the gallery. His name was DJ Daniel. Now DJ Daniel is a young man, I think he's 13, if I'm not mistaken, who was given five or six months to live because he had brain cancer, but he survived that. And his lifelong dream was to become a police officer. And last night, president Trump called him out and pointed him out. Let's take a look. I've already signed an executive order. If this doesn't bring a tear already sign If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye, I I I don't know what. He starts off by talking about law enforcement officers signing a bill that makes the death penalty for killing a law enforcement officer, then it goes into, DJ Daniel.
[00:41:12] Unknown:
I've already signed an executive order requiring a mandatory death penalty for anyone who murders a police officer, and tonight I'm asking congress to pass that policy into permanent law. I'm also asking for a new crime bill getting tough on repeat offenders while enhancing protections for America's Police Officers so they can do their jobs without fear of their lives being totally destroyed. They don't wanna be killed. We're not gonna let them be killed. Joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police. His name is DJ Daniel. He is 13 years old, and he has always dreamed of becoming a police officer.
[00:42:24] Unknown:
And not one Democrat applauded, not one Democrat stood up. Disgusting.
[00:42:51] Unknown:
But in 2018, DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctors gave him five months at most to live. That was more than six years ago. Since that time, DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true, and DJ has been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer, actually, a number of times. Peace the police love him. The police departments love him. And tonight, DJ, we're going to do you the biggest honor of them all. I am asking our new Secret Service director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States
[00:43:56] Unknown:
Secret Service. Look at his face. That is priceless. Absolutely priceless. That's, that's Sean Curran right there. That's he's the, director of the of the Secret Service. There he goes. He got his credentials. Look at that. That is amazing. Enchanting his name DJ DJ DJ.
[00:44:43] Unknown:
Thank you, DJ. I am asking our new secret service director Have to watch that again, folks. To officially make you an agent of the United States secret service.
[00:45:02] Unknown:
I just want you to look at his face. Now this isn't staged. The Democrats have staged something like this, but this isn't staged. That that's probably one of the mo that's probably the moment of the night right there. That's probably the moment of the night right there. That and and these horrible, horrible, heartless, disgusting, despicable leftists couldn't find it in themselves to stand up for that. Folks, there is something wrong with these people. Liberalism is a mental illness, and I guarantee you I guarantee you that they they that they would probably have would have much rather have seen DJ no. I'm not even gonna go there.
I'm not gonna go there because I'll become like Nicole Wallace. I'm not gonna say it, because I'm gonna I'm gonna show you the clip later on. But folks, that moment right there was the picture of the whole speech in one shot. This isn't about racial division. This isn't about, equity. This is about equality. This isn't about, this isn't about, pushing an extreme agenda. This is about the American people. This is this is what America is all about. Just an absolutely incredible speech. In fact, you know, after the speech, of course, you know, they do they do these, you have you have your reactions from the from the both parties and so on and so forth. But, there was a poll taken, a CBS poll that, that said, that 76% of Americans viewing the speech approved Trump's remarks, only with 23% disapproving. That's less than a quarter.
We got the overlay coming up on the screen. 68% of viewers described Trump's speech as a as hopeful, with a majority also describing it as presidential, inspiring, and unifying. Did it come up yet? There we go. Inspiring, unifying, and entertaining. And it was. There was a lot of fun moments in the speech. It was, you know, president Trump has a sense of humor. He runs his material out. He tries it out. Look at that. 76 of 76% approve of Trump's speech, 23% disapprove. And that's a CBS poll, folks. That that's a left leaning organization. That's CBS. So clearly clearly, a majority of Americans that watched the speech felt that he focused on the issues, particularly the issues that matter to them.
More than two thirds of viewers said that Trump had a clear plan to tackle inflation that began under Joe Biden. Three quarters of respondents who supported Trump's proposals on reducing governmental waste, Immigration, border security. And despite the negative press that the that president Trump was getting, you know, leading up to the speech, Nearly one quarter of the viewers approved of Trump's approach in handling Ukraine and Russia. That's that's you can't get 70% of the American people to to agree on anything, but yet they agree on that. That's absolutely amazing.
And it shows that there's a definite shift in this country from from from from blue to red. I think that people saw the direction that the Democratic Party is going, don't want us continue to see that they don't want their children subjected to it. That's why that's why president Trump won the popular vote. That's why he won the electoral college. That's why he won the majority of the counties. All shifting red. Now for some of the some of the other reactions that we've gotten, before we get to that, I wanna show you a contrast. I want so I've shown you plenty of clips about, from from last night.
But I wanna show you this clip, and I want you to compare what you've just seen with president Trump with this.
[00:51:17] Unknown:
Was a child suffering from an autoimmune disease. Wrote to me. Said she's worried, and she was worried about bringing the virus home. She said she then got vaccinated at a at a large site in her car.
[00:51:30] Unknown:
She said she sat Look at the two of them sitting behind them with the mask on. Cried.
[00:51:34] Unknown:
Cried out of joy. It's like every shot is giving a dose of hope. Grandparents hugging their children and grandchildren instead of pressing hands against the window. The economy created more than 1,300,000 new jobs in a hundred days. We have to do more than just build back better. We build back. We have to build back better. Scientific breakthroughs took us to the moon. Now we're on Mars discovering vaccines, gave us the Internet, and so much more. It's following 500,000 charging stations along our highways. So let's end cancer as we know it. I spent a lot of time with president Xi. Traveled over 17,000 miles with him.
We're gonna decide what we do in terms of government providing for free education. Health care should be a right, not a privilege in America. I think you should be able to become a billionaire and a millionaire, but pay your fair share. I've made it known. That creepy, whisper. I've made it known. America's back. If we act to save the planet America's back. We can create millions of jobs. With regard to Russia, I know it concerns some of you. But I made very clear to Putin, he understands, and no amendment to the constitution is absolute.
I'm the first president of forty years who knows what it means to have a son serving in a war zone. The insurrection was an existential crisis, and we won't ignore what our intelligence agency had determined to be the most lethal terrorist threat to the homeland today. White supremacy. When I spoke with Gianna Floyd, George Floyd's young daughter, She's a little tyke, so I was kneeling down to talk to her. She looked at me. She said Of course, he was. My daddy changed the world. We had to also have to get at the root problem of why people are fleeing, particularly this to our southern border from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. I asked vice president Harris to lead our diplomatic effort to take care of this. I have absolute confidence she'll get the job done.
[00:53:39] Unknown:
But she wasn't. The borders are, was she? According to them, later. Anyway, I'm sorry, I was falling asleep watching, Joe Biden there. But do you see the difference? Do you see the differ Donald Trump, seventy eight years old. Joe Biden, pushing 80. More or less the same age. Do do you see the difference? It it's it's I I I I can't find the words for it because it's it's just so blatantly obvious right in your face. He lies. He lied about pain. He lied about the vaccine. He lied about everything. He lifted up a a man who was a criminal, who died from a fentanyl overdose.
I don't know what else to tell you. But probably the, most despicable, absolutely despicable reaction that I came across to, the, the speech last night was put forward by, MSNBC's Nicole Wallace. I'm sure you've heard this, where she talked about well, during the meet during the speech, but we already played the clip where where where president Trump talked about Daniel, DJ Daniel, you know, the 13 year old cancer survivor. You know? He was made an honorary secret service agent. And, of course, you know, she was on MSNBC, so Rachel Maddow was was talking about, you know, how, Donald Trump was politicizing the youngster's recovery, and and, and then Wallace made her remarks.
Disgusting remark because somehow, some way, she took this young man's story and twisted it. Well, let me play it for you first, and then we'll we'll get to that. Here's Nicole
[00:56:19] Unknown:
Wallace. But I think this was a lesson in finding one thing that that you let yourself feel. And I let myself feel, joy about DJ. And I hope he's alive for another, you know, ninety five years. Right? And I hope he lives, and the life he wants to live, he wants to be a cop. He knows what he wants to do. And maybe when you have childhood cancer, that crystallizes for you. And I hope he has a long life as as a law enforcement officer. But I hope he never has to defend The United States Capitol against Donald Trump supporters. And if he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide. And I hope he isn't one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then live to see Donald Trump pardon those people.
[00:57:07] Unknown:
And Rachel Maddow says that Donald Trump politicized this this child. What a horrible, horrible thing to say. How do you how do you how do you link this child, this young man, 13 years old, this young man, how do you link this young man to to to January 6? And then you say you hope the kid doesn't kill himself? Because he goes into law enforcement and has to defend the capital. First of all, six people did not commit suicide as a result of the walking tour of the capital. It wasn't an insurrection. Alright? But this is disgusting. This is a disgusting position to take.
And, of course, it it, it picked up a lot of, a lot of response on on on x, on Twitter. MSNBC are communist and should lose their FCC license. Another one says she's disgusting. Fire her. She's disgusting. How horrible. Get this trash off television. What's wrong with these people? So much hate, and yet we have the greatest country to live in. If they hate it, leave it. Disgusting. Vile. But, folks, this is the left. This is when I say that liberalism is a mental illness, I'm not kidding. This is this is a mental illness. And Maddow even said that, she she quote she she said that, that, that the president made a spectacle out of out of out of praising a young man who who who survived pediatric cancer as if he had something to do with it, the president.
Donald Trump never took credit for Daniel's recovery. He never said a word about him taking credit for it. He what he did is he recognized that this young man went through a horrible, horrible journey, survived cancer, brain cancer, and multiple surgeries, And through it all, he kept a positive attitude about the whole thing, and his ambition to become a law enforcement officer, to become a cop, to wear a uniform when he becomes an adult. A year ago before this before the speech, and I wish I would have pulled that video because I I had it, and I said, I don't know if I'm gonna go into this, but but a year ago, Daniel wearing the same uniform that he was wearing at the speech was taunted and teased and made fun of by a crowd outside of a place where Donald Trump was speaking.
God bless this young man. And what Donald Trump did for him tonight, last night, was huge. I mean, you saw the video. I played it for you. You can you can look it up for yourself. The look on that young man's face when Donald Trump said that they were gonna deputize him as a sec secret service agent. I mean, how do you sit on your hands? But yet the Democratic party did. They sat there on their hands, didn't applaud, didn't stand up, that's the Democratic party. And if you are still a Democrat after this, after seeing how they reacted to success in closing the border, to this young man fighting and defeating cancer, to, renaming the, a national wildlife refuge after Jocelyn Nungari, the Lake and Riley Act sitting on their hands because they value an illegal immigrant over an American citizen.
How are you still supporting the Democratic party? If they continue on this track, I I I'm telling you, their days are numbered as a party. And not only not only immigrants, illegal immigrants. What about drag queen story hour? What about going after the children? What about those things that that they have thrown in your face? Don't you remember all the parades that were taking place with with with with men wearing practically nothing? Walking down a street waving themselves in front of children, and they think that that's okay, that that's normal.
Oh my god, folks. Liberalism is a mental disorder. It's a mental illness. I I just I don't understand it. Alright. If you have any questions or comments about what we're talking about tonight, just drop them down there in the comment section. If you're if you're watching and wanna leave a a message to us in the live chat, please do so. We'd appreciate that. But I think what we're gonna do now is we're gonna move on to something else, and then we're gonna close it up really quick because we're over the hour already. So let's hit some Doge news.
Let's take a look here. Some Doge news. So yesterday, the NIH canceled seven grants for, you ready for this, transgender experiments on animals including 532,000 to use mouse model to investigate the effects of cross sex testosterone treatment. Thirty three thousand dollars should test feminizing hormone therapy in a male rat. What the what the hell is this? Our tax money going to this. This is what the Democrats are fighting for. This is what they're complaining about. This is what they're saying, is is something that that that Elon Musk should not be getting involved with and should be leaving alone. Or how about this one?
Working with the talented team at Doge, I just canceled an additional 21 grants. Lee Zeldin saying this. 21 grants saving over a hundred $16,000,000 for the American people. This third round of EPA Doge cuts have brought our total savings up to $287,000,000. And then Doge included here, nice job. This included a $4,000,000 grant to provide materials to, quote, increase workforce diversity in the construction material sector. This is what your tax dollars are going to pay for. This is what the Democrats are fighting so hard for. In 02/2020 and 02/2021, the Small Business Association, s b a dot s b a gov issued 3,095 loans, including PPP, paycheck protection program, and EIDL, economic injury disaster loans, for 330,000,000 $333,000,000.
You ready? To borrowers over a hundred fifteen years old who were still marked as alive in the social security database, and in one case, a 157 year old individual received $36,000 in loans. And folks, you wonder where or you wonder how your elected representatives go into
[01:06:54] Unknown:
Congress,
[01:06:58] Unknown:
and on a 74,000 a year salary somehow become multimillionaires in in in two years, four years, whatever the case may be. Why? Because that's where your money's going. That's where a 57 year old individual collecting $336,000 in loans from the small business association. Unbelievable. While you're struggling to put food on your table to pay your bills, your elected representatives are pocketing money. I'm pointing at my monitor up here. I'm sorry. Are are are pocketing the money that you're paying into the tax system that's supposed to be going for things here in The United States, but people who are 57 years old are collecting $36,000 in small business loans.
Unbelievable. How about this one? Credit cards. Credit card bills. Why don't you take a look at this up on the screen there? Weekly credit card update. Pilot program has been has been expanded to 16 agencies to audit unused credit cards. After two weeks, a 46,000 cards have been deact a 46,000 cards have been deactivated. Look at that. Spending your money, your tax dollars, my tax dollars. It's unbelievable. This is why I say that the IRS needs to be abolished. The income tax needs to be abolished. People say, well, what are you gonna replace it with? Nothing. No flat tax. No fair tax. Nothing. There should be no income tax at all. At all.
We were fine prior to the income tax. The income tax has just generated poverty. That's it. We need to get rid of the IRS, get rid of the income tax, subsidize everything we need to subsidize with with tariffs. And look, don't cry about tariffs. Oh, Canada's putting a bigger tariff on us. Look. These are reciprocal tariffs that president Trump is putting in place. Reciprocal. Which means that the countries that we are putting tariffs on have tariffs on us. Okay? We are only doing what they're doing to us. Why should we be paying tariffs and nobody else? Why is that? Can you explain that to me?
Of course you can't, because it doesn't make sense. Our country was wealthier with tariffs as opposed to the income tax. Income tax was supposed to be temporary to pay for war debt, which is probably the reason why they have perpetual war so they can justify it that way. But income tax at the federal level is immoral. It's unconstitutional. Oh, no. The thirteenth amendment said no. It was improperly ratified. It is invalid. And I know president Trump said during his campaign that he was going to abolish the income tax, abolish the IRS.
I hope he does. It looks like it's going that way. They're talking about reducing the IRS staff by by half. Let's go all the way. Get rid of it. Get rid of it. What else we got? So some more Doge stuff. Let's see. The Inter American Foundation, an agency whose primary action was to issue foreign grants, $60,000,000 budget, has been reduced to its statutory minimum, one active employee. And just some examples of some of the grants that were canceled in the process. You ready? $903,000 for alpaca farming in Peru. Three Hundred Forty Six Thousand Five Hundred tax dollars to reduce you ready for this one? Social discrimination of recyclers in Bolivia.
So because some people who recycle in Bolivia were being teased, our government decided to give him $365,000. 8 hundred 13 thousand dollars for vegetable gardens in El Salvador. Three Hundred I just wonder. How many how many homes or or apartments or or or or hotel places or or food can $813,000 buy for our veterans that are on the street? But yet we're giving it to El Salvador for vegetable gardens. Or how about $323,633 to to promote cultural understanding of Venezuelan migrants in Brazil? How about you go back to Venezuela? Seven Hundred Thirty One Thousand to improve marketability of mushrooms and peas in Guatemala.
Six Hundred Seventy Seven Thousand to expand fruit and jam sales in in Honduras? Really? Is that a problem? Is that really a problem? $483,000 to improve art artisanal salt production. Artisanal salt, like, you know, Himalayan rock salt. Artisanal rock salt. Artisanal salt in, production in Ecuador. And and 39,000 for beekeeping in Brazil. Folks, I could go on. There's more, but I'm not going to because it's ridiculous. Ridiculous. This is where your money is going. While you're struggling to pay your bills, while you're struggling to put food on your table, your government is taking your tax dollars and sending it there, to those places that we just pointed out.
And then they wanna question you about a $600 transaction on your Cash App. Oh my god, people. The system is broken. It is so broken. It's beyond repair. It needs to be torn down. It needs to be rebuilt minus several things. Now's the time folks, we gotta do it now. Alright folks, we're over the hour by a lot. So we're gonna we're gonna wrap this thing up here tonight. I had I had so many more things I wanted to show you, like the the, the the, the all the same speech that all the Democrats gave afterwards. 22 Democratic representatives, Senate congressional representatives all posted videos following the same script.
[01:15:42] Unknown:
You know what? Let me show it to you. Let me let me show it to you anyway.
[01:15:46] Unknown:
Here you go.
[01:15:48] Unknown:
When I went, I will immediately break prices down starting on day one. Look at that.
[01:15:53] Unknown:
That's what you just heard. Same script, same maneuvers, same microphone, everything. You get the idea? There's another minute and twenty five seconds of that, and I I I can't. My I got a headache already. Same script, same speech. Alright. Same exact setting, they all sit down at the same time, microphone, everything's all the same. I guess when they cut the USAID money, they also cut the budget for their speech writers, so they they they only have one person, so they only have to have one script. Right? But do you understand that the democratic party is a joke?
The democratic party is all show? There's not an original thought within it? Unbelievable. They definitely need new script writers. And folks, there was more. I I had had some Ted Cruz comments. I'm not gonna get into that now. It's it's it's too much, too long. So what we're gonna do here is we're just gonna say our good nights.

It's not just Texas that's looking to leave the union, it's also 25 other 24 other states that are looking to leave the union that have secession referendums going through the legislative process just like Texas. So this is not an aberration. This is not something that's just a Texas only thing. If you are in a marriage where you're abused by your spouse, you're gonna leave. Right? The states have been abused by the federal government for for years, decades.
