What is President Trump's message in his first joint address to Congress?
President Trump strikes a triumphant tone in his first address to Congress since retaking the White House.
The golden age of America has only just begun. It will be like nothing that has ever been seen before.
What priorities did the president lay out and how was he received by both houses of Congress?
Who were the special guests at Trump's address?
I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Wednesday, March 5th, and this is Morning Wire. Trump invited several special guests last night, including those victimized by past policies, as well as those who prevailed over hardship.
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.
And every Senate Democrat votes against keeping men out of women's sports. We talked to a legal expert about the efforts to protect women's spaces.
Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know.

In his first joint address to Congress since retaking the White House, President Trump touted his record while laying out his plans on immigration, foreign policy, and trade.
What were the key highlights of Trump's address?
Here with some of the key highlights is Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips. Hey, Cabot, so all eyes on Washington last night as Trump gave his joint address. And the evening was many things. It was raucous, funny, at times intense. What did we hear from the president last night?
Well, we heard a lot. At one hour and 40 minutes, it was the longest address to Congress in American history. Now, much of that was due to interruptions from Democrats. We'll get to that in a bit, but a lot to cover. The theme of Trump's address was, quote, renewal of the American dream. The president took the podium and kicked things off with a simple message.
To my fellow citizens, America is back.
Now, typically a president's first address to Congress is largely focused on what they're going to do in the future. But Trump started things off by listing off what his administration has already accomplished in the six weeks since he took office. As we expected, he started by touting the record decrease in illegal border crossings last month.
And we quickly achieved the lowest numbers of illegal border crossings ever recorded. Thank you. 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.
Next, Trump went on to laud the accomplishments of Doge while pointing out especially egregious examples of government waste that his administration has uncovered.
$22 billion from HHS to provide free housing and cars for illegal aliens. $45 million for diversity, equity, and inclusion scholarships in Burma. $40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants. Nobody knows what that is. $8 million to promote LGBTQI+. in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of.
And as we expected, Trump took aim at DEI policies, vowing to force the federal government and corporations to implement merit-based hiring strategies.
We've ended the tyranny of so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion policies all across the entire federal government and indeed the private sector and our military. Our country will be woke no longer.
And the president also used the address to break news on multiple fronts. First, he announced that reciprocal tariffs on our trading partners would officially go into place on April 2nd.
