What did President Trump address in his second term speech to Congress?
All right, let's get into this marathon that was yesterday. Love him or hate him. Donald Trump came out swinging. He was funny. He is in. He has his mojo. He brushed any attacks on him like they were, you know, McDonald fry crumbs on his tie. He really has become the president and not the president that we had as 45. Last night, he touted his first six weeks in office as a whirlwind of action.
And holy cow, is it, especially when he's going through it. I mean, it was... It was relentless, the number of things he talked about slashing the bureaucracy, imposing the tariffs on Canada and Mexico to protect our border, stop the killer of fentanyl and rebuild our industrial base. He's also talked about cracking down on illegal immigration with a promise of mass deportations.
That's a new phase that we're going to be entering soon. He renamed a Texas wildlife refuge after a 12 year old Houston girl that was murdered by undocumented immigrants. It was kind of a poignant. moment with her mother, Alexis, in the gallery. He also talked about securing the release of the hostages from Gaza, one from Russia, rebuilding the Abraham Accords from his first term.
Then there was Ukraine at the very end. It was almost like an afterthought. There's so much to cover. Trump read a letter from President Zelensky that came in yesterday at the end of this program.

He dropped a bombshell about apprehending the mastermind in the 2021 Abbey Gate bombing in Afghanistan. What a moment that was. He said they're now en route to face American justice.
He also made a 13 year old kid, DJ Daniel, a brain cancer survivor from Houston that just keeps defying all odds. He was up in the gallery and he was dressed in this little teeny police uniform. He had been made an honorary policeman for the Houston police because he just wanted to be he always wanted to be a policeman.
Last night, the president had the head of the Secret Service give him a badge, if you will. It's an honorary Secret Service post. He is now a Secret Service agent, a kid who defied a five-year death sentence. Let's see.
The chamber erupted with that, or at least half of it did, because the real story I think that we have to talk about is the planned and coordinated action or reaction or inaction of the Democrats. It was unbelievable. Unbelievable.
They just sat there, some with their union printed signs or dressed in all pink for some unknown reason, some kind of statement that nobody knew about or really honestly care. They just sat there almost throughout the entire thing without moving. When Trump spoke of bringing the hostages back from Gaza,
