Chapter 1: How did Trump's speech begin to derail?
So we're not even halfway through Donald Trump's joint address to Congress. It's already off the rails and one of the worst speeches I've ever seen. We are not broadcasting it live because I don't need to show Trump propaganda. I want to show you the lowlights, however, in summary fashion. So we're only halfway through. I'll do a full review of what went down. But here's what's happening so far.
Chapter 2: What accusations did Trump make against the Democrats?
Donald Trump attacked the Democrats for not applauding him for achievements that he did not actually do. But he's upset that they're not applauding him for hypothetical achievements. Play this clip.
Fifth such speech to Congress. And once again, I look at the Democrats in front of me. And I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud. Nothing I can do. I could find a cure to the most devastating disease, a disease that would wipe out entire nations or announce the answers to the greatest economy in history.
or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded. And these people sitting right here will not clap, will not stand, and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements.
They won't do it, no matter. Then Donald Trump brags about the gold card that he is introducing, that he's selling for $5 million, where Russian oligarchs and Chinese oligarchs can purchase citizenship in the United States. Here, play this clip.
Chapter 3: What is the controversial 'gold card' Trump proposed?
With that goal in mind, we have developed in great detail what we are calling the gold card, which goes on sale very, very soon. For $5 million, we will allow the most successful job creating people from all over the world to buy a path to U.S. citizenship. It's like the green card, but better and more sophisticated. And these people will have to pay tax in our country.
They won't have to pay tax from where they came. The money that they've made, you wouldn't want to do that, but they have to pay tax, create jobs. They'll also be taking people out of colleges and paying for them so that we can keep them in our country instead of having them being forced out.
Number one at the top school, as an example, being forced out and not being allowed to stay and create tremendous numbers of jobs and great success for a company out there. So while we take out the criminals, killers, traffickers.
Chapter 4: Who does Trump blame for economic issues?
Then Donald Trump blames the surging prices of groceries and surging prices of eggs, the surging inflation and the terrible economy right now and the markets crashing. He blames it all on former President Biden. You can hear the audible groans in the crowd. Let's play it.
Joe Biden especially let the price of eggs get out of control. The egg price is out of control and we're working hard to get it back down. Secretary, do a good job on that. You inherited a total mess from the previous administration. Do a good job.
Then Donald Trump mentions an African nation and the word trans and Republicans find this to be hilarious. Here, play this clip.
Chapter 5: What controversial topics did Trump address in his speech?
$8 million to promote LGBTQI+. in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of. $60 million for indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in Central America. $60 million. $8 million for making mice transgender. This is real.
$32 million. Then Donald Trump talks about sports team with trans women losing their funding. This is one of his biggest priorities as Americans are suffering from the markets crashing from cuts to Medicaid to cuts to our government. This is their main issue. Here, play this clip.
Peyton is here tonight in the gallery, and Peyton, from now on, schools will kick the men off the girls' team or they will lose all federal funding.
and to make things very clear where Republicans stand on these issues as Elon Musk and his team of 19 to 25 year olds are going through your personal and private data, social security information, medical information, tax information, and gutting critical programs, FAA jobs, social security administration jobs, national park jobs,
other government jobs that are very, very, very important and treating people so cruelly. Elon Musk gets the biggest standing ovation from Republicans as Democrats. Stay seated. Here, play this clip.
And to that end, I have created the brand new Department of Government Efficiency. Go. Perhaps you've heard of it. Perhaps. which is headed by Elon Musk, who is in the gallery tonight.
Then Donald Trump lies and says that he's found probable fraud in the social security system, which is basically just code for they're going after your social security just as they're going after your Medicaid.
And I've already played clips in other videos that I've done where Elon Musk, who you just saw get the standing ovation, who's basically running the government, says that social security is one massive fraud, one big Ponzi scheme. So when they're saying that, they're basically saying, They're going to get rid of Social Security. Here, play this clip.
Identifying shocking levels of incompetence and probable fraud in the Social Security program for our seniors and that our seniors and people that we love rely on.

Chapter 6: How does Trump view his own presidency?
Then Donald Trump says, after what, crashing our economy in just 40 days or so, that this has been the most successful presidency and that George Washington is number two. This is what the psychopath is saying. Here, play this clip.
Stated by many that the first month of our presidency, it's our presidency, is the most successful in the history of our nation. And what makes it even more impressive is that Do you know who number two is?
George Washington. Then Donald Trump says that the country is woke no longer. I'll let you watch this. Let's play this clip.
We've entered the tyranny of so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion policies all across the entire federal government and indeed the private sector and our military. And our country will be woke no longer.
Earlier in the day, you'll recall that Trump's top advisor, Alina Haba, who was his former lawyer, said that the reason that all of these veterans are losing their jobs is because they're probably not fit to have a job at this moment. She says, we love veterans, but they're probably just not good workers. Here, listen to yourself.
Sit in. Starting to think about maybe some of those veterans who worked for the federal government and maybe what the administration can do to at least help salvage their lives.
Well, as you know, we care about veterans tremendously. I mean, that's something the president has always cared about. Anybody in blue, anybody that serves this country. But at the same time, we have taxpayer dollars. We have a fiscal responsibility to use taxpayer dollars to pay people that actually work. That doesn't mean that we forget our veterans by any means.
We are going to care for them in the right way. But perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment or not willing to come to work. And we can't you know, I wouldn't take money from you and pay somebody and say, sorry, you know, they're not going to come to work. It's just not acceptable.
Another horrible day in the markets as Donald Trump's bragging about the economy. In the past month, the Dow Jones has declined by over 2,000 points. You see it right there, down 4.57%. As our markets were crashing today, Donald Trump was fundraising off it. And he's saying, I'm launching the Ultra Mega Fundraising Blitz, he says. The Ultra Mega Fundraising Blitz, just give him some money.
