FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:00

America's capital descended into chaos

0:03

last night and I can't believe what

0:06

you're about to see.

0:08

>> You should be ashamed of yourself

0:10

standing up. You should be ashamed of

0:13

yourself.

0:13

>> Right. That is also asking you to end

0:17

deadly sanctuary cities that protect the

0:20

criminals and enact serious penalties

0:23

for public officials who block the

0:25

removal of criminal aliens in many kick

0:29

out. Why is she in our country blocking

0:33

the removal of these people out of our

0:36

country? And you should be ashamed of

0:38

yourself.

0:41

>> This is crazy. Look at them. They hate

0:43

our country.

0:45

They hate our country. They hate that

0:48

flag. They hate the people clapping.

0:51

They hate hearing about all of America's

0:53

successes. It drives them insane. That's

0:56

why they want to have a war in this

0:58

country.

1:00

Those three letters are toxic to them.

1:02

Look how this place is sick. This is

1:03

disgusting.

1:05

This is gross. And perhaps most

1:07

importantly, I'm asking you to approve

1:10

the Save America Act.

1:12

>> Yeah. Oh, and look around the room. Not

1:16

standing for that. I wonder why. This is

1:19

ridiculous.

1:21

>> To stop illegal aliens and others

1:24

who are unpermitted persons from voting

1:27

in our sacred American

1:30

>> elections. That cheating is rampant in

1:32

our elections. It's rampant.

1:34

>> THE FRAUD IS RAMPANT. WHY IS NOT

1:36

EVERYBODY STANDING?

1:37

>> All voters must show voter ID.

1:44

>> How is this controversial?

1:47

What's his problem? Why doesn't he want

1:49

that? Does he do anything other than

1:52

blink this guy? Okay,

1:55

he's got jokes.

1:56

>> All voters must show proof of

1:59

citizenship in order to vote. Why is

2:02

that a problem? Look, they cannot stay

2:06

seated. It's impossible to sit through

2:08

this speech unless you hate our country.

2:10

>> Get mail in ballots except for illness,

2:13

disability, military, or travel.

2:18

>> That's so obvious.

2:21

>> And this should be an easy one. And by

2:23

the way, it's polling at 89% including

2:26

Democrats. 89%

2:27

>> including Democrats.

2:30

and and they just sit there stonefaced

2:33

hating on all of this. I can't believe

2:36

they even showed up. They showed up to

2:38

look mayor of New York City. I think

2:40

he's a nice guy actually.

2:41

>> Oh, Mr. Madani made it into the state of

2:44

the union.

2:44

>> But nice guy just said they want people

2:48

to shovel snow. They got hit hard.

2:51

>> Want them to shovel snow. But if you

2:53

apply for that job, you need to show two

2:55

original forms of ID and a social

2:58

security card.

2:59

It's harder to get that job than a real

3:01

job.

3:02

>> On identification for the greatest

3:04

privilege of them all, voting in

3:06

America. That's no good.

3:07

>> It's a privilege.

3:08

>> No good.

3:09

>> Both Republicans and Democrats

3:11

overwhelmingly agree on the policy that

3:15

we just enunciated.

3:18

And Congress should unite and enact this

3:21

common sense country legislation right

3:25

now. And it should be before anything

3:27

else happens.

3:29

And speaking OF SAVING THE COUNTRY, LOOK

3:32

AT WHO GOT THE MEDAL of Honor AND WOULD

3:34

BE ENTITLED to a mail-in ballot.

3:35

>> Very first Chief Warrant Officer 5 in

3:37

the entire United States military

3:39

history to receive the Medal of Honor.

3:41

So this is chief warn officer 5 Eric

3:43

Slover who's a highly experienced

3:45

helicopter pilot that's serving in the

3:47

US Army's elite 160th special operations

3:50

aviation regiment also known as the

3:52

nightstalkers who are basically the unit

3:54

that's renowned for transporting all of

3:56

our special operations forces for like

3:58

extremely high-risk nighttime insertion

4:00

missions. Now, he's still on active duty

4:02

right now, but he was awarded the Medal

4:03

of Honor, which is the nation's highest

4:05

military award for his actions during

4:07

Operation Absolute Resolve on January

4:10

3rd of 2026, which was the daring raid

4:13

to capture Venezuelan leader Nicholas

4:15

Maduro in Karacas. He was the flight

4:17

lead and pilot for the very first MH47

4:20

Shinook helicopter that was inserting

4:22

into Karacus. And he's responsible for

4:24

planning the aviation component of the

4:26

mission, including leading the insertion

4:28

of Delta Force. Now, as the helicopter

4:30

was approaching the landing zone for the

4:33

assault under the cover of darkness, he

4:35

was struck multiple times. He maintained

4:37

control of the aircraft, maneuvered it

4:39

in to face the threats, which allowed

4:40

his door gunners to eliminate the

4:42

hostile

4:44

landed so he could deploy the team that

4:45

was in the back. His actions directly

4:48

assured the mission's success and

4:50

prevented a potential catastrophic

4:52

crash.

4:52

>> But what's the takeaway from all this

4:54

sitting and all of this hatred of

4:56

America? The only conclusion you can

4:58

draw from tonight's State of the Union

5:00

address is that the modern radical

5:02

Democrat party hates America. And I do

5:06

not say that lightly. I wish I could say

5:08

I was surprised. I wish I could say I

5:10

can't believe they didn't stand up for X

5:12

reason, y reason, Z reason. Trump

5:15

literally gave them the opportunity to

5:16

stand up and admit that one of the roles

5:19

of government, one of the biggest roles

5:21

of government is to protect American

5:22

citizens. And what did they do? They sat

5:24

on their hands like they are known to

5:26

do, like they have continued to do.

5:28

Every time they have had power, they

5:30

have allowed individuals to run

5:32

roughshod over the average American. And

5:34

dare you to call them out on it. One of

5:35

the best things he did was actually call

5:37

them out and allow individuals to see

5:40

this contrast for themselves because all

5:41

too often you'll see leftists engage in

5:44

this weird war of words, right? Where

5:46

they try to couch or phrase things

5:48

differently to make it appear more

5:49

palatable. They are masters at this.

5:51

This is one of the hallmarks of cultural

5:53

Marxism is trying to change the

5:55

definitions of things, trying to make

5:57

things sound more appealing to the

5:59

average everyday person, right? But

6:00

you're going to sit there now and tell

6:01

me that Democrats could not be bothered

6:04

to stand up and admit that their job is

6:06

to protect American citizens,

6:08

particularly over illegal immigrants.

6:10

They can't do that, right? Because all

6:13

year they've been doing everything they

6:15

can to stand against Trump and say that

6:17

he is the tyrant in the White House

6:19

while defending people who are in

6:20

America illegally and have broken our

6:22

laws, calling them our neighbors, which

6:24

is the type of speech manipulation he's

6:27

talking about. They can't stand for

6:29

that.

6:29

>> They won't stand up for the 5-year-old

6:31

girl who who almost lost her life at the

6:34

hands of an illegal immigrant who was

6:35

given a driver's license here in this

6:37

country. They consistently prove to you

6:40

time and time again that the last thing

6:41

they care about is the average everyday

6:43

American. And yet they think that they

6:46

are entitled to walk these halls of

6:49

power. They think that they should be

6:50

allowed to form and create these rules

6:53

and these laws.

6:54

>> And I'm not going to sit here and and

6:55

pretend that the State of the Union

6:57

address has not devolved into a little

6:58

bit of political theater. I mean, it

7:00

started off with Al Green, literally the

7:02

festering boil on Houston, Texas, uh,

7:06

showing up with the sign that said,

7:07

"Black people aren't apes." Who told you

7:09

that they were apes in the first place?

7:11

Al Green, let me ask you that question.

7:12

But honestly, Al Green, ironically

7:14

enough, is probably the strongest

7:17

argument against the statement he even

7:19

made this evening. But I digress.

7:21

>> These people are not serious. These

7:24

people do not care about you. And these

7:26

people will prove to you time and time

7:28

again that all they want to do is stand

7:31

against American progress.

7:33

>> No,

7:34

>> they cannot be bothered to put your

7:36

needs first. And they pretend that they

7:39

care about America at all. It's almost

7:41

as if, you know, it's it's like if you

7:43

would imagine a vampire being forced to

7:45

hold a cross, that's them holding

7:46

American flags. I tuned in before the

7:48

speech actually started. And the amazing

7:51

thing about this is they think that 2026

7:53

is their year to capture back the

7:57

country and to regain control of the

7:59

country and to put a stop to Trump once

8:01

and for all. They think there's a

8:02

critical mass of people behind them who

8:04

love the fact that they're sitting down

8:06

when our country succeeds and are going

8:08

to go vote for more of that and are

8:09

going to go vote to reverse course. Is

8:11

that going to happen?

8:12

>> Falling into tribalism to where if you

8:14

don't agree with the president, it's

8:16

okay to be disrespectful to the country.

8:18

it's okay to be disrespectful to the

8:19

constitution and that to act to have

8:21

civility. As a person that was a

8:23

teacher, um students would say things

8:25

that other students didn't disagree

8:26

with. I didn't say it was okay to just

8:28

walk outside the classroom cuz we expect

8:30

a certain decorum and a certain level of

8:32

class and civility that we all have as

8:34

Americans. And what we're seeing now

8:36

with the left is because they didn't get

8:37

their way. Even though Barack Obama

8:39

deported as many people more than

8:41

President Trump, even though he talked

8:43

about tariffs, now a lot of things that

8:44

were common sense before they disagree

8:46

with because it's politically

8:47

advantageous. They think it's okay to

8:49

now scream and leave the room. And we're

8:51

seeing a collapse of what we just

8:53

consider civility in our country.

8:54

>> It's like children were present for that

8:57

speech, didn't like what they heard, and

8:59

threw a fit. It's one thing to hate an

9:02

idea, but it's another thing to hate a

9:05

person for having that idea. If somebody

9:08

thinks something, you got to ask

9:09

yourself why is it that they think this

9:11

way. You got to try to figure out why.

9:13

And you don't hate them for it. People

9:16

watching this who are absolutely upset

9:19

with the idea of sitting for America's

9:21

successes and are absolutely repulsed by

9:23

the actions of these legislators, don't

9:25

hate the people themselves. Don't wish

9:28

harm on the people themselves. As

9:29

repulsive as it is to watch somebody

9:31

like Representative Omar scream at the

9:33

president and talk about how horrible he

9:35

is, while she enjoys so many things that

9:37

are amazing about America while she's

9:39

sitting in Congress, as repulsive as

9:41

that is, we don't sit there and wish

9:43

that something would bad would happen to

9:45

her after the speech that she would be

9:46

harmed in some way. No, nobody's

9:48

thinking that. But that's how they think

9:49

about us. And these are people that

9:51

actually dislike the people they expect

9:54

to come and vote for them. I've spent a

9:56

lot of time walking the streets of New

9:58

York City, showing apartments, talking

10:01

about crime, and letting people know

10:02

what life is really like on the ground

10:05

here right now. And one thing has become

10:08

impossible to ignore. Everything is more

10:10

expensive. Everything feels more

10:12

fragile. And the people in the middle

10:14

are getting squeezed from every

10:17

direction. Rents are up, utilities are

10:19

up, groceries are up, and the same

10:21

institutions that created this mess are

10:23

out there buying homes and telling

10:25

regular people just to adjust. Living in

10:28

a city like New York teaches you pretty

10:30

quickly that systems don't always work

10:32

the way they're supposed to. And that's

10:34

why I believe in owning something real

10:36

like physical gold and silver from

10:41

American Heart for Gold. Not because

10:43

it's flashy, but because it's tangible.

10:46

Gold isn't tied to a landlord, a bank's

10:48

balance sheet, or the next policy

10:50

experiment. American Hartford Gold has

10:53

an A+ rating with the Better Business

10:55

Bureau, and thousands of five-star

10:58

reviews. You can have gold or silver

10:59

shipped straight to your door or stored

11:01

securely and a tax advantaged gold IRA.

11:05

If you're thinking long-term, on top of

11:06

that, right now, if you call and mention

11:08

my name, you could get $20,000 in free

11:11

silver with your first purchase. Call

11:14

866-679-4550

11:17

or text cash to 65532.

11:20

That's 866-679-4550

11:23

or text cash to 65532. Or you can just

11:27

click the link in the description of

11:28

this video. When you live in the real

11:30

world instead of a spreadsheet, you

11:32

learn fast. Betting everything on

11:34

systems you don't control is incredibly

11:35

risky. Well, owning something real just

11:38

makes sense. So again, reacting to last

11:40

night while everything is going on,

11:42

right? You know, Kennet said something

11:45

about Democrats figuring themselves out

11:48

right now. They're trying to paraphrase

11:50

what you said earlier.

11:51

>> Hillary is trying to

11:53

>> Here's CNN talking about who is their

11:56

leading candidate and Harry Enson calls

11:58

it a clown show. Go ahead, Rob.

12:01

>> They're all running and this is just a

12:02

downright clown car at this point on the

12:05

Democratic side. I mean, just take a

12:06

look here. top choices for the 2028

12:08

Demre nominee. You have a leader, but

12:12

it's not really a clear leader. It's

12:13

within the margin of error. You have

12:14

Newsome at 19%. Then you have former

12:16

vice president Kla Harris at 18%. Quite

12:19

a weak number for her given that of

12:20

course she was the nominee last time

12:21

around. Pete Buddha Judge who of course

12:23

has run before 13%. Alexandria Aassio

12:26

Cortez at 12%.

12:27

>> You might be looking at this and

12:28

laughing at these numbers. But here's

12:30

the thing you got to understand. Unless

12:32

one of these people manages to pull a

12:34

Zoran mom Donnie and come from behind,

12:37

which could be AOC, the real likelihood

12:40

here is that the true candidate for this

12:43

party, the true leader is being hidden.

12:45

They always hide their candidate until

12:48

the last minute. They did it when Biden

12:50

was president. He dropped out at the

12:52

last MINUTE AND OH, KBBLE IS IN. They

12:54

hid her until the last minute, didn't

12:55

they? Same thing with Hillary, who

12:57

always says, "Oh, she's never running.

12:58

Oh, I'm not running. Oh, I'm not

13:00

running. Oh, I'm not running." Oh god.

13:01

Oh, I'm running. So, is she going to

13:03

step in the ring? Is Michelle Obama

13:05

going to step in the ring? Are we going

13:06

to see a mom Donnie style come from

13:09

behind here fueled by social media and

13:11

promises of freebies? That's what's

13:13

going to determine who the leader is.

13:15

And don't think for a second that

13:17

there's not a civil war going on on the

13:18

screen here because we've got three

13:20

people here who represent the

13:22

establishment of the party. They can

13:24

call themselves whatever they want. They

13:25

can say whatever they want. These people

13:26

have been around for a long time. Then

13:28

we've got one of the DSA candidates over

13:30

here who they do not want to see on the

13:32

board.

13:32

>> Do you think that kind of makes sense?

13:34

>> Yeah. I mean, there's a civil war in the

13:36

Democratic party was going on in the

13:38

last election between the uh

13:40

progressives and the center left.

13:43

Happened in New York

13:44

>> and the progressives have all the energy

13:46

right now. Manny, New York, AOC,

13:49

>> and it's very hard for someone who's

13:51

more electable to come out in the

13:54

Democratic party. I mean, there's a war

13:56

on in the Republican party, too, but

13:58

it's much more one-sided. Uh, but in the

14:01

Democratic party, I mean, it's sort of I

14:03

think the progressives are clearly on

14:05

top.

14:05

>> I think it's going to be a progressive

14:09

candidate, you know, somebody pretty

14:11

leftleaning.

14:12

>> That's who the base wants. They don't

14:14

want to come out and vote for an

14:16

establishment dinosaur who's too old to

14:19

relate to them, doesn't know how to use

14:21

a smartphone, and has been saying things

14:23

like Chuck Schumer, for example, who at

14:25

one point wanted voter ID and wanted

14:28

crackdowns on welfare and now supports

14:30

none of those things, even though he's

14:32

still the exact same person. These are

14:34

people they just go where the wind blows

14:36

them. What they want is they want a

14:38

radical who's going to promise them

14:40

every single thing they want. the free

14:42

grocery stores, the free buses, the free

14:43

this, the free that, the open borders

14:45

forever. That's the candidate that they

14:47

want who's also going to say that

14:49

they're Trump's worst nightmare. You

14:50

come out with that and you're going to

14:52

have people who want to vote for you.

14:54

>> If you see right now who are the

14:55

superstars of the left today, two names

14:58

who are the superstars, Mandani and AOC,

15:01

>> and you keep seeing them collaborating.

15:03

Even the video they made yesterday about

15:05

how in Spanish illegal immigrants you

15:07

can get child care free in New York and

15:09

here's how to get it. Yeah,

15:10

>> I don't know if you saw that guy.

15:13

But you know what's interesting is

15:14

>> what a scam

15:16

>> good-looking, charming, charismatic, and

15:19

they at least have ideas they're

15:21

presenting. Of course, they're socialist

15:23

ideas. Of course, there may be bad

15:25

ideas. Of course, history says these

15:27

ideas don't work, but they're pitching

15:29

ideas. There's there's they have a

15:31

foundation. And that's the thing that

15:32

the establishment Democrats don't have.

15:35

They do not have a foundation. What is

15:38

Gavin Newsome's foundation? He'll say

15:39

whatever it takes to get elected. He has

15:41

no foundation. He'll say anything. And

15:43

voters will respond to somebody that

15:45

says, "Hey, I have a platform. I have

15:47

plans. This is how I'm going to

15:49

implement those plans. I'm not going to

15:50

take no for an answer, and this is

15:52

what's going to save our country." That

15:54

resonates with people, even if the plans

15:56

are to turn a city like New York into

15:58

Venezuela.

15:59

>> Two different communities. One is

16:00

sitting there saying, "He's evil. He's

16:02

evil. He's evil." The other one is

16:04

saying, "Let's raise taxes on the rich

16:07

and let's give free benefits to illegal

16:10

immigrants." Believe it or not, these

16:12

guys are getting more momentum than

16:13

these guys because there is no ideas

16:15

here. It's just calling them out. And

16:17

it's interesting if we go there. By the

16:18

way, here's a crazy question for you

16:20

guys.

16:20

>> Uh um

16:23

>> you know, Kenneth, you were around back

16:25

in 1992.

16:27

>> I wasn't a young man already in 1992.

16:30

>> I was around. So the way he said it, but

16:34

but for you when you watch something

16:35

like this, you know, and you see the

16:38

momentum that they're creating, nobody

16:40

thought a if I told you two years ago or

16:43

three years ago, a full-on socialist,

16:46

one step away from a communist, speaks

16:49

like a communist, he speaks as if he's

16:51

read the communist manif manifesto six,

16:53

seven, eight times, and he's a Muslim

16:56

and in New York City, in the capital of

16:58

capitalism, in the headquarters of

17:00

capitalism, right? Financial capital of

17:02

the world that took over London that a

17:05

socialist Muslim progressive guy's going

17:09

to become the mayor. People would have

17:11

said, "You're out of your mind."

17:12

>> But here's the thing. Who did Zoran mom

17:14

Donnie run against in New York? He ran

17:16

against Andrew Cuomo, the former

17:18

governor, the disgraced governor who

17:21

resigned. That was his competition. And

17:24

we already know that Mani is the only

17:26

one with ideas. The other candidates had

17:28

no ideas. They had nothing but a status

17:31

quo and a oh, we'll see what happens

17:33

type of attitude. They have no plan. Of

17:35

course, the person with a plan is going

17:37

to win over the people who don't have a

17:39

plan. This is so obvious. And this is

17:41

why this radical wing of this party is

17:44

taking over. They're the only ones with

17:46

any ideas. And the ideas are so radical.

17:48

The other people that are already in the

17:50

party, like the Gavin Newsomes, Gavin

17:52

Newsome has come out and said he doesn't

17:53

think a wealth tax in California is a

17:55

good idea. Meanwhile, billionaires are

17:57

fleeing the state because they know the

17:59

voters want this. That this is what the

18:01

voters want. If it's not this year, it's

18:03

going to be next year. The writing is on

18:04

the wall in these places. They're going

18:06

fullon to left field and no one can stop

18:09

them, not even their own leaders.

18:11

>> Man, maybe you can do that in New York.

18:12

If you can do that in New York City,

18:14

maybe you can do that at the national

18:15

level with somebody like an AOC.

18:17

>> Yep. They're going to try.

18:18

>> Yeah. I mean, I've been saying to people

18:20

all over the world uh who are sort of

18:23

worried about uh the reelection of a

18:26

Trump-like figure, they're so scared

18:28

about that. I say, "Wait till you see

18:31

the election of a Mam Donny like person,

18:33

you know, in the United States. They

18:35

hate Trump so much they're going to vote

18:36

for that." Uh the the incredible swing,

18:39

the uncertainty, the fact that you

18:41

could, you know, our country is so far

18:43

apart and you could swing from one to

18:46

the other. But yeah, no. Uh Manny is

18:49

absolutely good-looking, charming, knows

18:51

how to use social media. No question

18:53

about it. And I and I do have my sort of

18:56

okay, they're very left-leaning, but you

18:58

know, good friends in New York who kind

19:00

of like him cuz basically they said the

19:03

last two guys were idiots and so at

19:05

least he doesn't seem like an idiot,

19:07

which you know, he he clearly, you know,

19:10

seems thoughtful even if not literate.

19:13

So being dead wrong is no longer

19:16

something that voters care about. All

19:18

they care about are these superficial

19:20

things. Good-looking, speaks well, can

19:23

use a smartphone, gets views on TikTok.

19:25

That's what they care about. That's the

19:27

base of this party. How does that base

19:29

go out and say they want Gavin Newsome

19:31

or Kla Harris? And an even bigger

19:33

question is how does that base stand for

19:36

anything that makes America great and

19:39

makes America successful? How does that

19:40

base clap for a border that should be

19:43

shut down? How does that base clap for a

19:45

men's Olympic hockey team that was happy

19:47

to get a call from the president? They

19:49

can't. They hate our country. They've

19:51

been taught that our country is evil.

19:52

They've been taught that our country is

19:53

wrong. And when somebody comes along

19:54

with those ideas and says, "Hey, put me

19:56

in office." They're going full in on it.

19:59

I don't know how he's gonna do in New

20:00

York because I mean it's not do that he

20:04

inherited all this spending all these

20:06

fiscal doesn't matter to the voters and

20:07

if he raises taxes on the wealthy like

20:10

he wants to he's just going to chase him

20:12

out and it's going to lose money. It's

20:14

going to make feel good but it's going

20:15

to lose money.

20:16

>> Who's who's going to pay the biggest

20:17

price? You're somebody that you've been

20:19

in the space of studying what works what

20:21

doesn't work. This is your world, right?

20:24

PhD MIT in economics, you know, chief uh

20:28

economist at IMF. Your world is to study

20:32

what works, what doesn't work, right?

20:34

What what when you look at what's going

20:36

on with New York and the idea of raising

20:38

wealth taxes, New York and California

20:41

both are thinking about it.

20:43

>> How much common sense does one need to

20:45

realize they're going to leave?

20:48

>> But that's the thing. These politicians

20:49

don't care about any of that stuff. They

20:51

don't care about anything other than

20:52

power. So if they come out and they say,

20:54

"Hey, I'm going to do what the voters

20:55

want." And the voters put them in

20:56

office, that's a victory. That's a

20:57

success. It's not going to help the

20:59

voters at all. But again, their policies

21:01

aren't designed to do that anyways.

21:02

These are socialist, communist,

21:03

left-wing policies. All they are

21:06

designed to do is get people elected and

21:08

keep them elected forever as the

21:10

environment around them implodes. What

21:13

do you think about this? Is that why

21:14

people aren't standing? Is that because

21:16

they know their base won't stand for it?

21:18

Let me know. I'll see you in the next
