Transcription

Chapter 1: What themes of unity and resilience are expressed in the beginning?

1.398 - 38.859 Unknown

Our faith that our days of this nation will be renewed is still there. We've formed bonds that can never be broken. I, along with my brothers and sisters, weathered the storm. We will never stop fighting for this country. And my friends and my brothers had also helped me through this tough time. Because we are what makes this country the greatest country on this planet.

38.979 - 68.479 Unknown

And this moment and this anthem is living. We sing for all the people who never made it home. Through us their stories will be told. We stand as one. United in this fight for liberty. Justice for all our voices ring.

103.492 - 158.001 Unknown

God got us, I promise, that's the reason I smile. Protesting with our voice and our presence and our words. We ain't killing people for disagreeing, man, that's absurd. We ain't burning down cities cause we pray to the Lord. We sing for all. Stop killing people that just want to debate. When we protest and you ain't seen no guns and no flames. We don't have to agree.

158.021 - 179.696 Unknown

We ain't got to think the same. Country built on conservative values. Let's reclaim it. It's not about hate. We just want to feel heard. We standing for the truth, not just following the herd. You can love your country and still call out its flaws. You can back the Constitution and still question the law. We don't want to be killed just for speaking our voice.

179.717 - 183.084 Unknown

God coming soon, man, so it's time to rejoice.

Chapter 2: How does the speaker reflect on personal struggles and support?

183.104 - 233.814 Unknown

Let the ballots be counted, let the questions be asked. Let the people decide, don't just bury the past. And don't let evil get you down, cause God we stand for all. Another person that I have to thank is Donald J. Trump. Our brotherhood that we built and the country we believed in, and especially our president, we never would have made it out. Blessed by God, pardoned by Trump.

0

233.834 - 248.62 Unknown

Thank you, Donald Trump, for pardoning us and giving us a second chance on life. President Trump for pardoning me. For saving my soul, and Donald Trump for giving me the pardon. I want to thank Donald Trump for pardoning us, and it's the only reason that we're here today, all together, free, with smiles on our faces. Welcome.

258.607 - 280.075 Steve Bannon

It's Tuesday, 6th January in the year of our Lord, 2026. It is five years to the day of January 6th. I've already heard from the war room, some of the engine room folks with the comment, finally, Steve, a cold open that we like. You don't have the MSNBC crowd or CNN on there or the haters, the haters against President Trump.

281.843 - 300.021 Steve Bannon

One of the most significant days in American history, and I don't say that lightly, this was a day that people stood up and said, we're just not going to allow the 2020 election to be stolen. Remember, theoretically, what was supposed to happen that day

0

300.001 - 316.221 Steve Bannon

is that Mike Pence was going to – because he had already inquiries, a letter from the state of Pennsylvania, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and others coming in. They were going to say they couldn't certify the electors on that day and that they were going to –

317.315 - 340.133 Steve Bannon

give some time for these states like Georgia and Pennsylvania and Arizona and others to see if they couldn't sort out the mess back in their home states with the stolen, both the mail-in ballot fiasco where they tried to steal it. And now, since you've had this situation in Venezuela, we may actually get to the bottom

340.315 - 353.97 Steve Bannon

of the machine situation with Sidney Powell and others were all over at the time. And I think and I hope that we'll be getting all the information out about that, or we'll be getting it from the folks in Venezuela.

355.064 - 374.988 Steve Bannon

But what was going to happen or supposed to happen in, I don't know, a week or 10 days, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona and others would say, hey, we just can't certify the Biden electors. Not that they would put forward a slate of Trump electors. You just couldn't certify this. Because of the outright stealing of the Democratic Party, they could not be certified.

375.229 - 402.725 Steve Bannon

What would happen? It would get thrown in, according to the Constitution and the Electoral Count Act of 1887, it would get kicked into the House of Representatives for what's called a contingent election. And the House members don't vote actually individually. You vote as a state party delegation. And at that time, I think it was 25 to 24 to 1 or 25, 23. We would have won by one or two votes.

Chapter 3: What role does Donald Trump play in the speaker's life and narrative?

1126.185 - 1148.293 Donald Trump

And our hearts go out to his wife, Jill, and his entire family. You know, he voted with me 100% of the time. And by the way, he wasn't a 3 o'clock in the morning person. Do you know what I mean by that? Where the speaker goes, sir, could you call up? Could you call? I said, what time is it, speaker? Sir, it's 3 in the morning. Could you make a couple of calls? How many? Nine.

0

1150.535 - 1172.131 Donald Trump

So I'd start calling. I'd start calling 3 in the morning. I said, like, I shouldn't use any names. I'm just going to create problems. But hi, Jim. And I'm not talking about Jim Jordan. I never had to call 3 in the morning for him. But I said, hi, Jim. How you doing? They just called to say hello, you know, 3 in the morning. OK, sir.

0

1172.851 - 1193.434 Donald Trump

Sir, you haven't spoken to me in three years, and it's now 3 in the morning, so I know what you want. You want my vote? And usually, almost always, they'd give it. But they wanted to be called. And with Doug, I never had to call. He was with us right from the beginning. I love those guys. I must say, I probably love them the best. You know, the guys that I don't have to call.

0

1194.376 - 1216.15 Donald Trump

They know we're doing the right thing. I have a couple that are going to be with us all the way, but they just want the call. They want love. They need love. They're more insecure than most of you. It's true. No, most of you are secure people. You're all laughing. No, most of you are secure people. I had a couple say, look, I could have Trump call me all the time.

0

1216.21 - 1236.572 Donald Trump

I just have to break his ass a little bit. And he'll be calling, calling, calling. But I appreciate those. We actually had a little party. We opened up a beautiful section of the White House in the Rose Garden. And we had a party for all of those people that I never speak to and vote for me. And, you know, I spoke to Doug, but I didn't speak to him about, I mean, I've had a problem.

1237.333 - 1261.454 Donald Trump

And I was really... I was really saddened by his passing and was thinking about not even doing the speech in his honor. But then I decided that I have to do it in his honor. I'll do it in his honor because he would have wanted it that way. He would have wanted it that way. He would have said, do that speech. Are you kidding me? Do the speech, big guy.

Chapter 4: What significant events are highlighted regarding the January 6th insurrection?

1262.235 - 1283.436 Donald Trump

But he was a fantastic person. Man, that was a quick one. I don't know. I don't know quite yet what happened, but, boy, it's a tough one. He was just with us. He was our friend, all of us, every one of us. And I also want to send our best wishes to Congressman Jim Baird and his wife, who are recovering from a car accident. They're going to be okay, but they had a pretty bad accident.

0

1284.438 - 1306.523 Donald Trump

And we're praying that they get out of that hospital very quickly. He's going to be fine. She's going to be fine. But it was a bad accident. Then I want to thank the man who has been central to so many of our triumphs. He really has been. He's the guy that would call me to make those calls all the time. He's always working. And he's a nice person.

0

1307.224 - 1329.265 Donald Trump

You know, he's a very nice piece, a high quality person. But I wouldn't say he's a very tough cookie. I've seen both sides. Not often do I have to see the other side because he's just by nature is a very fine religious. I like that. He's a religious person. I like that. I like religious people. It usually means they're more honest. Sometimes it doesn't happen that way.

0

1329.786 - 1370.828 Donald Trump

I've had some real religious ones that did numbers on me and I said, I'm going to get them someday. They got me by surprise, but it's usually good. OK, right. And his name is Mike Johnson, Speaker Mike Johnson. he has my complete and total endorsement stand up speaker So, you know, but it is true. A lot of times they'll say, I wish Mike were tougher, tough. He's tough.

0

1370.848 - 1396.337 Donald Trump

He's tough as anybody in the room, actually. But it can't be tough when you have a majority of three. And now, sadly, a little bit less than that. I mean, a little bit less than that, maybe. But it can't be. Can't be Trump. You can't. I want you to make 10 enemies, 20 enemies. That's the end of that. Right. Everybody loves him. I would say there's one person he's given up on.

1396.397 - 1422.898 Donald Trump

I mean, I think he just gave up on this guy. He's so bad. He never votes for us. But no matter how good, he won't vote for us. There's a sickness there. There's something wrong. You can have the greatest bill, the greatest for the country. Forget about for Republicans. Great, great, great for the country. I'm a no vote. We don't even bother calling him at 3 in the morning, do we?

1422.918 - 1452.525 Donald Trump

But I want to thank another guy who's as tough as they come, because he went through something that none of us have gone through. I went through a little shot, but I get that throbbing feeling every once in a while. But what he went through was incredible. And that's Steve Scalise. He got hit hard. Where's Steve? Steve. He's a tough cookie. He was dead. I went to the hospital.

1453.126 - 1474.254 Donald Trump

His wife was crying so much. It was a mess. Oh, yeah, yeah, she loves you. That's the only thing I learned about Steve, that he has a wife who loves him. Because I've gone to hospitals where guys are in bad shape and the wife couldn't care less. She's waiting. She's looking for the next guy. Who's the next guy down the pike? Who the hell is the next guy? He's died. I said, that's so bad.

1474.374 - 1501.217 Donald Trump

Oh, yeah, yeah. I had one where the dog died and the husband died at the same time. I said, it's so sad. Yes, I love this dog so much. She couldn't give it. And the guy left her a fortune. Can you imagine? I shouldn't have left her anything. But she was much more concerned. The dog was devastated. The husband, he was he was like an afterthought. Your wife loves you, Steve. She's a great wife.

Chapter 5: What safety improvements have been made in the city?

3161.023 - 3180.144 Donald Trump

You can walk down with your wife down to the restaurants, which are booming, by the way. I mean, if you go back to before I got in and we did a pretty good job four years ago, but it was never this, you know, in my first term. So when we were doing the first time, we're pretty good. But, you know, it wasn't like that big of an issue.

0

3180.204 - 3194.926 Donald Trump

It became a big issue because people were being mugged all over the place. We had a couple of people working in the White House that were killed. We had one guy waiting for his wife in a car. They said, get out of your car. He said, well, I'm waiting for my wife. They blew his head off.

Chapter 6: How does Trump describe the impact of crime on his presidency?

3195.426 - 3220.329 Donald Trump

The wife is walking up to the car animals and then they get angry when I say they're animals. Nancy, they're not animals. They're human beings. No, they're not. This is another thing. That's a that's a 98 to issue also. No, they're animals. And we've taken them out. We've took out over 2000 people, brought them back to their countries from where they came or they're in prison now in Washington.

0

3220.349 - 3223.556 Donald Trump

It's not just like we have to take the bad ones out.

0

Chapter 7: What are Trump's views on cognitive tests for politicians?

3223.596 - 3243.86 Donald Trump

Two percent, three percent of the population causes 90 percent of the crime. Think of it. Two percent of the population in Washington, D.C., causes 90 percent of the crime. So when you get rid of the two percent, we took out over 2000 people, got them out of the country or in prison.

0

3244.441 - 3258.06 Donald Trump

Some were so bad that we didn't want to send them back to their countries because they'll come back in, even though it's hard now. But, you know, they're pretty smart. They're sick, but they're smart. But you're now living in one of the safest cities in the country. It's a great thing. You can walk to the restaurants.

0

Chapter 8: How does Trump address the issue of healthcare and drug pricing?

3258.08 - 3280.208 Donald Trump

Restaurants are booming. New restaurants are open. They were all closing. You wouldn't have had a restaurant. And I don't know about you, but to me, those soldiers standing there look so good. I'm not going to feel safe walking down the street without them. I don't think you would either. Even though we took out so many criminals, I just feel better. To me, they're beautiful.

0

3280.548 - 3303.998 Donald Trump

I look at these soldiers. And you feel safe. You feel safe. I don't think if we took him out, even if the crime wasn't much, it would definitely be more. We did a great job in Chicago. They don't want to talk about it. We, you know, against all this, this slob of a governor, this stupid slob who the family threw him out of the business. It was a dope. And the Pritzker family.

0

3304.598 - 3330.268 Donald Trump

But they threw him out of the business. And the mayor, he's a low IQ person, extremely low IQ. We should give everybody, like, these competency tests, right? The cognitive, they call it cognitive. You know, I'm the only president that went for cognitive. I think every president and vice president should be forced to take cognitive exams, mental tests, like... Are they intelligent?

0

3330.769 - 3354.614 Donald Trump

Wouldn't it be nice? Do you think Waltz could pass a cognitive test as an example? Do you think Kamala could? I don't think Gavin could. He's got a good line of crap, but other than that, he couldn't pass. I mean, here's a guy who didn't want to have water coming down from the Pacific Northwest. Why? You know, they have a little tiny fish. It's a little tiny fish. Not doing well. You know why?

0

3354.654 - 3377.542 Donald Trump

No water. They're sending water. It's too much. It's killing the fish. So they cut it off. And then they have 25,000 houses burned down. They don't know why. No, I think I believe in it. I'm the only one that took a cognitive test. I do. It's the worst. If I don't do a medical exam, because I've had times where I went longer because I'm busy.

3378.323 - 3407.796 Donald Trump

If I don't do a medical exam, they say Trump's not doing an exam. There must be something wrong with them. If I do the exam. They say, why did he do this? Why did he do this part of an exam? He did too much. There's something wrong with him. Do you remember there was a period, Mike, where I had 32 days in a row I did one press conference, two, three, sometimes four. I'd do them behind the desk.

3407.936 - 3439.655 Donald Trump

I don't even just do it. I do press conferences. But I do many press conferences. So in 32 days, and then one day, Just one day. This is 32 days in a row. Must be some kind of a crazy record. Then one day, do you remember? I didn't do one because I took Kai, my very brilliant golfer, beautiful young lady who swings the club so beautifully. She's a great scratch golfer and loves playing.

3439.895 - 3469.44 Donald Trump

Grandpa, would you take me to play golf? So I ran, you know, I play golf and like record. I play speed golf. It's better that way. You know the expression? Miss it quick. No, I play speed golf, but I'm a good golfer. Everybody knows. Anybody that I've beaten in this group. But I love to play golf, but I don't get to play much. But I took off two hours, and the press couldn't find me.

3469.801 - 3500.314 Donald Trump

But they knew I was there because they follow me. And I was getting friends. Are you okay? Guys are calling me up. Some of the guys in this room. Sir, are you okay? Yeah, what's the problem? There's a report, sir, that you're no longer with us. Remember that? No. The report was that I was no... I don't want to use the D word. That's such a horrible word. Dead. I don't like that.
