Trump’s Counter-Revolution!

Editor Health Activist Post, Neenah Payne

In the videos further below, historian Victor Davis Hanson explains that President Biden staged a revolution much like the French Revolution where society’s values were turned upside down.

Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony Decoded! explains that France decided that what best represented it in the 21^st century was the French Revolution in 1789 with its Reign of Terror when France descended into a murderous bloodbath.

The mascot of the French Olympics was the Phrygian Cap worn by revolutionary mobs during France’s 20-year civil war when Republicans were murdered. Karl Marx saw the French Revolution as the precursor to communism. During the Communist revolutions in Russia, China, and Spain, the national governments were overturned.

Several Chinese who grew up under Mao warned America was going through a Cultural Revolution much like Mao’s bloody revolution:

Hanson explains that Trump staged a counter-revolution to restore American culture and values.

Trump’s Message To America

Since his inauguration on January 20, President Trump has given three major speeches to spell out his vision for America and the world and to discuss the implementation of those plans:

Inauguration Address: January 20
Address to Congress: March 4
Speech at Department of Justice: March 14

When Trump was sworn in as the 47^th President of the United States, he began The Inaugural Address with “Vice President Vance, Speaker Johnson, Senator Thune, Chief Justice Roberts, justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, President Biden, Vice President Harris, and my fellow citizens, the golden age of America begins right now.

From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world. We will be the envy of every nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer. During every single day of the Trump administration, I will, very simply, put America first.

Our sovereignty will be reclaimed. Our safety will be restored. The scales of justice will be rebalanced. The vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government will end. And our top priority will be to create a nation that is proud, prosperous, and free. America will soon be greater, stronger, and far more exceptional than ever before.

I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success. A tide of change is sweeping the country, sunlight is pouring over the entire world, and America has the chance to seize this opportunity like never before. But first, we must be honest about the challenges we face. While they are plentiful, they will be annihilated by this great momentum that the world is now witnessing in the United States of America.”

The Shift From Biden To Trump

Victor Davis Hanson is the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. In the video below, Hanson discusses the many problems of the Biden administration including the humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan which may have encouraged Russia to invade Ukraine, massive censorship of even top doctors and scientists, the open borders which let in millions of criminals and led to the fentanyl crisis that is killing record numbers of Americans, the lawless era of Antifa and Black Lives Matter, inflation, the lawfare against Trump and his supporters, Biden’s cognitive decline, etc..

Democrats have taught the Critical Race Theory which divides Americans along racial lines and ignores the needs of the working class. They appeal to an elite who support open borders, sanctuary cities, defunding the police, support of Antifa and Black Lives Matter, transgender rights, DEI, sending millions of dollars to the Ukraine risking WWIII, and ignore issues the middle class is concerned with.

Hanson explains that Trump forged a union of the working-class across races. So, in addition to working class Whites, Trump is now supported by many Blacks and Hispanics who traditionally voted Democratic.

Victor Davis Hanson: Biden is crashing and burning 7/2/24

Victor Davis Hanson discusses Joe Biden’s debate with Donald Trump, Steve Bannon’s arrest, the ‘lawless Left’, whether America needs a Caesar to save the Republic, McCarthyism and communism, and Biden’s struggling campaign.

Trump’s Address To Congress

President Donald Trump’s address to Congress [FULL SPEECH]
President Donald Trump gave his first address of his second term to Congress on March 4, 2025.

REMARKS BY PRESIDENT TRUMP IN JOINT ADDRESS TO CONGRESS (Excerpts)

THE PRESIDENT: Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the golden age of America. From that moment on, it has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country. We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplished in four years or eight years, and we are just getting started. (Applause.) Thank you.

I return to this chamber tonight to report that America’s momentum is back, our spirit is back, our pride is back, our confidence is back, and the American dream is surging bigger and better than ever before. (Applause.) The American Dream is unstoppable and our country is on the verge of a comeback the likes of which the world has never witnessed and perhaps will never witness again. There’s never been anything like it.

The presidential election of November 5th was a mandate like has not been seen in many decades. We won all seven swing states, giving us an electoral college victory of 312 votes. (Applause.) We won the popular vote by big numbers and won counties in our country on a map that reads almost completely red for Republican. (Applause.)

Now, for the first time in modern history, more Americans believe that our country is headed in the right direction than the wrong direction. In fact, it’s an astonishing record: 27-point swing, the most ever. (Applause.) Likewise, small-business optimism saw its single largest one-month gain ever recorded. A 41-point jump.

Over the past six weeks, I have signed nearly 100 executive orders and taken more than 400 executive actions — a record — to restore common sense, safety, optimism, and wealth all across our wonderful land. The people elected me to do the job, and I’m doing it. (Applause.)

In fact, it has been stated by many that the first month of our presidency — it’s our presidency — (applause) — is the most successful in the history of our nation by many. (Applause.) And what makes it even more impressive is that — do you know who number two is? George Washington. How about that? (Laughter and applause.) I don’t know about that list, but we’ll take it.

Within hours of taking the oath of office, I declared a national emergency on our southern border — (applause) — and I deployed the U.S. military and Border Patrol to repel the invasion of our country. And what a job they’ve done. As a result, illegal border crossings last month were, by far, the lowest ever recorded. Ever. (Applause.) They heard my words, and they chose not to come. Much easier that way.

In comparison, under Joe Biden, the worst president in American history — (applause) — there were hundreds of thousands of illegal crossings a month, and virtually all of them, including murderers, drug dealers, gang members, and people from mental institutions and insane asylums, were released into our country. Who would want to do that?….

Every day, my administration is fighting to deliver the change America needs, to bring a future that America deserves, and we’re doing it. This is a time for big dreams and bold action.

Trump: Great Man of History?

In the video below, Hanson assesses Trump’s impact.

Victor Davis Hanson: Donald Trump is a Great Man of History 12/15/24

In this exclusive GB News interview, historian and conservative thinker Victor Davis Hanson dives into why he believes Donald Trump is a “great man of history.” Hanson reflects on Trump’s improbable rise to power and his enduring influence despite relentless opposition. He offers his insights on Trump’s leadership, his picks for reshaping institutions like the FBI, and the historical context of the FBI and CIA’s controversial roles. Hanson also breaks down why Kamala Harris has struggled to resonate with the American public and failed to meet expectations.

Justice Under President Trump

Steve Bannon is a former adviser to Trump. His show is Steve Bannon’s War Room.

‘A lot of you are going to prison’ | Steve Bannon Talks Justice, Revenge and Trump 2.0 2/5/25

Steve Bannon sits down with Steven Edginton to discuss the ongoing legal battles in American politics, predicting that many Democrats will ultimately face prison time for their use of lawfare. He reaffirms his loyalty to Donald Trump, stating that he would take a bullet for the former president, and addresses his own legal challenges.

Bannon also shares his views on Elon Musk, describing him as a globalist while acknowledging his role in helping Trump get elected. He criticises USAID as a front for the CIA and takes aim at conservatives, calling them weak and controlled opposition. He also weighs in on Trump’s political standing, arguing that while this may not be “peak Trump,” it is “prime Trump.” Finally, he discusses Keir Starmer, arguing that he is making key mistakes in how he approaches Trump.

Trump’s Speech at Department of Justice

President Trump spoke for 1:04:59 minutes without a teleprompter or notes.

FULL REMARKS: President Trump speaks at the Justice Department 3/14/25

President Donald Trump delivered remarks from the Department of Justice, marking a rare visit by a sitting president. During his speech, President Trump accused former President Joe Biden’s of turning the agency into the “Department of Injustice.” Trump also accused the judicial branch of conspiring with the media.

Trump routinely has blasted the Justice Department and the FBI since his first term for being corrupt, amid multiple investigations and lawsuits filed against him. The FBI investigated Trump and his 2016 campaign for alleged collusion with Russia which ultimately found no evidence that the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia to influence the outcome of the election.

Transcript (Excerpts)

Thank you. Thank you, Pam, very much. What a job you’re doing. And it’s a true honor to be with you today. This is a story. if there. ever was 1 and based on the crowd, I think we broke the all-time record. but as we begin a proud new chapter in the Chronicles of American Justice is really, is something. we’re turning the page on four long years of corruption weaponization and surrender to violent criminals and we’re restoring fair, equal, and impartial Justice under the Constitutional rule of law. And you’re the people that are doing it. Very, very proud of all of you.

Under the Trump Administration, the DOJ and the FBI will once again become the premier crime-fighting agencies on the face of the Earth. People ask me what am I going to do about law enforcement all the time. The fake news back there, they’re asking me that all the time. What am I going to do? And when are you going to do it?

And I answer them by saying I’ve already done most of it by appointing the people that I’ve appointed. they’re sitting right here. They’ve done most of it. I don’t do what they do. Pam, I think. Oh, you are so tough. They just don’t know yet.

Let me begin by congratulating the incredible people who will lead these historic reforms. And we start with somebody that you just saw — Pam Bondi. She’s extraordinary. and I’ve known her very well for a long time. I watched her for a long time in Florida for years in Florida. and highly experienced she seems so young but she’s highly experienced — that I can tell you. She was a phenomenal Attorney General in Florida. And is just going to do a really amazing job also as the new director of the FBI.

Kash Patel. A man that I’m very proud of I’ve known him and AML for a long time under tremendous pressure. I saw these guys under some of the most corrupt judges. it’s not even imaginable how corrupt they were — and these guys never wilted. They were not shy, they fought. They weren’t afraid and they were brilliant. Deputy Attorney. General Todd Blanche, and Principal Associate Deputy Attorney Amal Bo — I thank you both. Very Great people. The Chief of Staff who’s so highly respected. Chad Miselle. Thank you, Chad.

Our next administrator of the DEA Terry Cole is going to do great. Senior Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for civil rights. I’ve been watching him on television last couple of weeks. He is really a tough one and he’s a great one. Leo Terrell — you watch how good he’s going to be. He’s going to be so good. Thank you, Leo. Great guy. Assistant Attorney General of the Antitrust Division who’s got an incredible reputation. She’ll do very, very well. Gail Slater. Thank you, Gail. Good luck.

I won’t be able to — too many to name, but some that I just see very quickly. General Flynn, thank you for being here. Man who went through Hell and he shouldn’t have. He’s a patriot. We’re also pleased to be joined by Senator Chuck Grassley and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer. Russian Thor and State Attorney General Ken Paxton, thank you very much. Somebody who was with us early on and she’s really become a big star and very popular — Brena Bird. Steve Marshall. Allen Wilson. James Arthur, Chris Carr. Dave Sunday, Marty Jackley as well as White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller What a man Steven — become a big star, right? Steve Bella has been very special.

For generations, the Federal Department of Justice was one of America’s most revered institutions. The men and women of the DOJ brought down the mafia, hunted down the killers, King Pins, and spies. Tracked Down terrorists and traitors. And tore down corrupt political machines all across America.

This department commanded the respect and admiration of the entire world. And with Pam and Kash and all of the people I introduced and far more big numbers than all of you sitting back there. I recognize so many of you. With you leading the way, it’ll soon be the most admired and most respected of all. You’re going to be more respected. I really believe that there’s also a lot of problems to solve, but that’s going to put you in the upper tier and maybe the top tier.

So proud of the people in this room. But first, we must be honest about the lies and abuses that have occurred within these walls. Unfortunately. in recent years, a corrupt group of hacks and radicals within the ranks of the American government obliterated the trust and goodwill built up over generations. They weaponized the vast powers of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies to try and thwart the will of the American people.

You remember the 51 intelligence agents that said, as an example, that Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell came from Russia when they knew it came right from his bedroom. They knew that it was a big lie and they knew it so well. Well, they spied on my campaign, launched one hoax and disinformation operation after another, broke the law on a colossal scale, persecuted my family, staff, and supporters. Raided my home — Mar-A-Lago — and did everything within their power to prevent me from becoming the president of the United States.

With the help of radicals like Marc Elias. Mark Pomerance. and these are people that nobody’s ever seen anything like it. So many others, but these are people that are bad people. Really bad people. They tried to turn America into a corrupt. communist and third world country. But in the end, the thugs failed and the truth won. Freedom won. Justice won. Democracy won — and above all, American people won.

There could be no more heinous betrayal of American values than to use the law to terrorize the innocent and reward the wicked — and that’s what they were doing at a level that’s never been seen before — and, it’s exactly what you saw with Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and their cronies to do the building of the last 4 years.

What they’ve ripped down is incalculable — but what you’re going to build up is likewise something that will be breaking all sorts of records they set. They let loose violent criminals while targeting patriotic parents at school board meetings. They dropped charges against Antifa and Hamas supporters while labeling traditional Catholics ”domestic terrorists”. We did very well with the Catholic vote. So, I want to thank them for that. Record numbers. They’re really after the Catholics. So, I don’t know, maybe they didn’t even know why.

They imported illegal alien murderers, drug dealers, and child predators from all over the world to come into our country while putting elderly Christians and pro-life activists on trial for singing hymns and for saying prayers that went to jail for that.

Our predecessors turned this Department of Justice into the Department of Injustice.– but I stand before you today to declare that those days are over, and they are never going to come back. So now, as the chief law enforcement officer in our country, I will insist upon and demand full and complete accountability for the wrongs and abuses that have occurred.

The American people have given us a mandate — a mandate like few people thought possible. We won every single swing state. We won the popular vote by millions and millions of people. So, we won at levels that have, I don’t believe, ever been seen before. That’s the one where you see the map of the United States and it’s all red — red for Republican, not for Communists. They would like it to turn it red for Communists, but it didn’t work out that way.

The American people have given us a mandate and a far-reaching investigation is what they are demanding into the corruption of our system. And that’s exactly, I’m sure what Pam, and Kash and everyone else mentioned here and not mentioned is going to be doing. We will expel the rogue actors and corrupt forces from our government. We will very much expose their egregious crimes and severe misconduct — which was at levels you’ve never seen anything like it. It’s going to be legendary. It’s going to be legendary for the people that are able to seek it out and bring Justice.

We will restore the scales of Justice in America and we will ensure that such abuses never happen again in our country. That’s why on Day 1, I signed an Executive Order banning all government censorship and directing the removal of every bureaucrat who conspired to attack free speech and many other things and values in America. My administration stripped the security clearances of the disgraced intelligence agents who lied about Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell.

We revoked the clearances of deranged Jack Smith, Alvin Bragg, Leticia James. and the crooked law firms that aided their partisan persecutions. These are state and city courts — and the corruption is unbelievable. We also terminated the clearance of the Biden crime family, and Joe Biden himself. He didn’t deserve it.

In fact, he was essentially found guilty, but they said he was incompetent and therefore, let’s not find him guilty. I guess nobody knows what that ruling was…..They said he didn’t know what the hell he was doing and therefore, let him go.

I pardoned hundreds of political. prisoners who had been grossly mistreated. We removed the senior FBI officials who misdirected resources to send SWAT teams after grandmothers and J6 hostages. I will tell you this – It was a great honor for me to fire James Comey — a great, great honor. There was no better day. A lot of people said, “Oh, that’s too bad”. And you know what? A year later, they said that actually saved the administration because the level of corrupt things that we learned after that turned out to be in fact, really bad things. He was a terrible person, did Terrible Things, and persecuted people and all in the guise of being an angel — but he wasn’t an angel.We created a brand new DOJ Task Force and under Director Patel, we’re getting the FBI agents out of the headquarters in Washington DC and back on the streets in pursuit of dangerous criminals where they belong and where they want to be….We like having law enforcement walking the streets of our capital. When the bad guys see there’s an FBI agent, that’s the ultimate in law enforcement and they’re not going to be acting so bad.

We’re cleaning up this great capital and we’re not going to have crime and we’re going to take the graffiti down and we’re already taking the tents down and we’re working with the administration. If the administration can’t do the job, we’re going to have to take it back and run it through the federal government….. The mayor has been doing a good job. We said, “There are tents galore right opposite the State Department they have to come down” and they took them down right away. So, so far so good. but we want to have a capital that can be the talk of the world.

Prime Minister Modi of India, the President of France, and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom all came to see me over the last week and a half. I didn’t want them to see tents. I didn’t want them to see graffiti. I didn’t want them to see broken barriers and potholes in the roads. We had it looking beautiful. And we’re going to do that for the city and we’re going to have a crime-free city. When people come here, they’re not going to be mugged, or shot, or raped. We’re going to have a crime-free Capital again. It’s going to be cleaner and better and safer than it ever was and it’s not going to take us too long.

This is the most amazing period of time. One of the big media outlets said what we did was the most consequential election in the last 129 years. Well, if we do the job that we’re all capable of doing, I think it’s going to prove to be that and then some and that’s what we want to do. We have a real big shot at making this country so great. What happened to our country was so sad. What they’ve done in four years to our country with the borders, with Afghanistan — the most embarrassing period of time.

Allowing the Russian situation. it was never going to happen with Ukraine. October 7th would have never happened because under me, Iran was totally broke. They had no money, they weren’t giving any money to Hamas and Hezbollah was totally broke. Look at what inflation’s done to people — been so devastating. And now you see that the price of eggs is down 35% in the last week and a half.

We’re doing a good job….. Inflation’s down. Interest rates are down. Gasoline is coming down to a level we haven’t seen in a long time. All things that we wanted to do because then everything else is going to be coming down. We want bacon to come down and groceries….

If you’re a judge because you want to go home, you have a family. you have children and the New York Times were right. Whatever these people say. And the Washington Post. and the Wall Street Journal. And the fake news – CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC and they’ll write whatever they say. And what do you do to get rid of it? You convict Trump. All you have to do is be really tough and ultimately convict him and they leave you alone. it’s totally illegal what they do…and it was so unfair….

I promised my wife I would never use a bad word. So, just a little bit — the case against me was bullshit….A lot of the judges I had took tremendous abuse in the New York Times and The Washington Post — all of the different networks. They’re very simply afraid of bad publicity. They don’t want bad publicity. and it’s truly interference in my opinion.

It should be illegal and it probably is illegal in some form. There’s no difference than speaking to a judge or shouting to a judge or doing whatever you have to do in a courthouse. They’re doing it behind the back. They’re usually doing it anonymously. They’re saying anonymously off the Record, “The judge is no good” — but everybody knows where it’s coming from.

It’s totally coordinated. It’s a campaign by the same scum that you have been dealing with for years. Guys like Andrew Weissman, deranged Jack Smith….The reason I’m saying this today is I’m only going to get one chance to say this. These are bad people….

I think I’m president. But we had to take all of that abuse. Even during the trials, we had to take tremendous abuse. They’re not legitimate people there. They’re horrible people. They’re scum. You have to know that and you’re going to have these cases where you can’t allow yourselves to be deflected. You just can’t let it happen. You have such a higher calling.

I believe that CNN and MSNBC who have literally written 97.6% bad about me are political arms of the Democrat Party. In my opinion, they’re really corrupt and they’re illegal. What they do is illegal. It makes no difference how big a victory I had. I can have the biggest victory in history. It makes no difference.

These networks and these newspapers are really no different than a highly paid political operative. It has to stop. It has to be illegal. It’s influencing judges. It’s really changing. law. And it just cannot be legal. They do it in total coordination with each other…. We’re restoring law and order and restoring Public Safety in America.

I have great respect by the way, for what Schumer did today. He said we’re going to have to vote with the Republicans because it’s the right thing to do. I couldn’t believe what I heard but, I think he’s going to get some credit for it. Let’s see what happens tonight with the big vote.

We’re bringing honor, integrity, and accountability back to the highest levels of the FBI, DOJ, and throughout our government. We’re bringing our country back faster than anyone ever thought possible. We’re working so hard and we want fairness in the courts. The courts are a big factor, the elections, which were totally rigged. We have to have honest elections. We have to have borders. And we have to have courts and law that’s fair.

We were not going to have a country. Crooked Joe Biden got us into a real mess with Russia and everything else he did, frankly. But he didn’t know about it. He generally signed it with Auto Pen. So, how would he know that Auto Pen is a big deal?! I don’t know who’s doing this. You don’t use Auto Pen. Number 1: it’s, disrespectful to the office.. Number 2: maybe it’s not even valid because you don’t know who’s getting him to sign. He had no idea what the hell he was doing if he did all of these bad things.

However, we’re going to get you back into a great position and we’ve already started. They say that we had the most successful first month of any President…. Now, we have a month and a half and it’s going really, really well.

I can tell you as a little secret although the cameras are blazing back there. I think we’re doing well as you have been hearing about Ukraine. I think we’re doing well with Russia. We’re speaking with President Putin. We want to get the war over. We spent maybe $350 billion to Europe’s $100 billion. Yet, we’re across the ocean, far away. So, it shouldn’t have been that way, but Biden let that happen

We’re getting a deal where we’re going to get that back, but much more importantly are the lives we’re talking about. On average. 2,000 young people are being killed every single day. Now, they’re not from here, but they’re human beings. They have sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers. friends and families. The towns where they grew up are losing, on average, 2.000 even 2,500 a week.

I want to get it stopped and we’ve had some very good calls today with Russia and with Ukraine. They’ve agreed for ceasefire if we can get it with Russia — and it’s not easy. It’s tough. but I think, we’re doing it. As the Secretary General of NATO said yesterday, “Without Trump, we wouldn’t be talking about it”.

It would just go on for years and millions more people. Millions of people have been killed. but millions more people would be killed. He said without me, it would just keep going on, we’re looking for the ceasefire now with Russia and we’ve had some very good talks about it.

I can tell you that there would have been no war if I were president — just 100% would not have happened. I used to speak to President Putin a lot about it. We had a professional relationship and his respect for this country. So, we have to see what happens. It’s still a long way to go. The fighting is unbelievable. Russia has a large group of Ukrainian soldiers surrounded and in grave danger.

Biden should have never let this war happen. First of all, you don’t want to pick on somebody that’s a lot larger than you. There’s a lot of money that we gave them and a lot of equipment….. You have a lot of Ukrainian soldiers that are encircled and in grave danger and I’ve asked them not to kill those soldiers.

It’s such a shame to see what’s happened. Things like that would have never happened. Inflation would have never happened. October. 7th would have never happened. Iran had no money. They were totally broke. Within a short period of time, as soon as Biden came in, he took out all the sanctions in China. Everybody else that wasn’t buying oil from Iran was buying it at levels that they never spent before.

It was a sad thing and if you look at Afghanistan, that was probably what got Putin started. I think the most embarrassing day. I would have been out faster. I got it down to the right level, but we would have kept Bagram. The big Air Force Base we would have kept it. Right now, China occupies Bagram because they were one hour away. China has its nuclear missiles and weapons. What a shame — the way we got out. I think it was the most humiliating time in the history of our country…..We wanted to get out, but we would have gotten out with dignity and strength.

What a difference a rigged and crooked election had on our country. When you think about it and the people who did this to us should go to jail. So, I just want to say, “God bless America”, because we’re lucky we’re still here. Frankly, this whole thing could lead to World War III very easily, but I think we’re in pretty good shape — a lot better than we were before. I can tell you it was heading into World War III territory and that would have been a war like no other because of nuclear weapons and other types of weapons you don’t even want to know about.

As many of you do know, these people were really focused on persecuting Republicans. The last administration presided over the worst increase in violent crime in our country in many, many decades. We had levels of violence and crime and a lot of it had to do with the illegal immigrants that came in. Remember when I used to complain about it, because I knew how tough they were, how mean they were. And they said “No, people who come into our country are all wonderful people.” They’re not wonderful. These are stone-cold killers.

They make our killers look nice by comparison. These are rough, tough people with tattoos all over their face. I don’t want to discriminate against anybody, but….these are rough killers and they allowed them in by the millions in major cities like New York, Chicago, and Washington.

Mothers can’t walk their children to the park with without fear of being shot, or killed, or raped, or anything. Women can’t ride the subway without worrying that a hoodlum will shove them. onto the train tracks. In New York. it’s happened twice in the last couple of weeks.

We want to get our country back. Under the Biden regime, average monthly homicides increased by 14%. Property crime rose tremendously. Violent crime went up at least 37%. Rape soared by 42%. Car theft rose by 48% and robberies surged to from 63 to 100%. They don’t even know what the number is.

I have no higher mission as president of the United States than to end this killing and stop this law breaking and to make America safe again. That’s what you’re all about in this room. We want to protect Americans. We want to have a safe and proud country. We’re joined today by dozens of police officers sheriffs, and sheriffs’ deputies from all across the country. My message to these law enforcement heroes is simple. With me in the White House, you once again have a President who will always have your back. Thank you. I feel safe. I’m glad you’re in the room. It’s a lot of great people.

I signed an Executive Order directing the Attorney General to ensure that anyone who murders a police officer immediately, as fast a trial as we could have, gets the death penalty. Last month, I fired all the radical left pro-crime US attorneys appointed by Joe Biden. There were so many that were bad and so evil, so corrupt.

Instead of having Marxist prosecutors who want to put police officers in handcuffs and go after police officers rather than criminals, I appointed patriotic tough on crime warriors who will partner with police to put dangerous offenders behind bars — put them in jail….

Biden could never answer a question. They said my press conference yesterday was longer than all of Biden’s press conferences put together for the last 4 years. I don’t know if that’s true, but it was close. Perhaps most importantly, we’re securing our border and repelling the invasion of America. You see the numbers have come down. Tom Holman and Christy have been incredible….

Over the past 4 years. other countries emptied out their prisons and jails, mental institutions, and insane asylums, and sent killers, drug smugglers, and bloodthirsty inmates from the filthiest dungeons of the world straight into the USA. We had an open border policy. Anybody could come in. No matter how many people you murdered, you could come right into our country. We have murderers right now walking the streets.

We’re joined today by Tammy Nobles whose 20-year-old daughter Kayla was attacked in her home three years ago. Horrifically, assaulted. and strangled to death by an illegal alien MS13 monster set loose into our country under the open border by Biden regime. Kayla was 1 of countless American victims, ripped away from their families by the open border policies of that Administration.

We’re also joined by. Kayla’s stepfather Jeremiah and several other courageous Angel Families here today. I’d love you to all just stand up and take a bow because you are incredible people, please. Thank you very much. I want you to know that we are working every day to expel these savages from our country and ensure that what happened to your loved ones will never happen again. So, their legacy is going to be a great one.

Day 1 of my Administration, I declared a National Emergency on our southern border. In our first full month in office, we achieved the lowest level of illegal border crossings ever recorded — even lower than four years ago. For years, Democrats and the media kept saying that we had to have new legislation. I never had legislation, but I had the best border in the history of our country for almost four years. By the time I got out, we had the lowest numbers ever.

It turned out that we really didn’t need new Legislation. All you needed was a new president saying, “Close the borders” because the border patrol is unbelievable. All of our law enforcement is just incredible. All of you guys are amazing and the people of our country respect you and they love you. A lot of times, you don’t hear that because you listen to the fake news. But, they have great respect for you. So, I just want you to know that.

That includes our fire departments. They don’t get spoken about enough. They go into some of the areas where they are shooting them off ladders. Can you believe it? They go up to put out a fire and they shoot them off a ladder. It’s just unbelievable. These firemen and women are incredible. So, I want to put them in the same category. I also like the fact they voted for me like at 94%. So, I have to mention them. But the truth is they’re phenomenal First Responders.

We’re ending the migrant occupation of America and what we’re doing now is we’re liberating our cities and our suburbs and our towns. And you see a big difference. I’m getting calls all the time from even leaders of other countries saying, “Sir, the whole world feels liberated now. It feels like there’s a light over America, but there’s a light over the whole world,“

I hear that so much. It’s so nice to hear too and I feel it…. I see the polls. I don’t know if the polls are right, but they’re certainly very good…. it’s amazing what’s taking place in such a short period of time. It’s really November 5th. I think that hopefully will go down as the most important Day 1 in the history of our country. July 4th 1776 was pretty important, too. But let’s see if we can top it. Can we top it? I don’t know. That’s a tough one, but we’re going to try it, but it will be one of the most important days in the history of our country. So, I think everybody in this room wants that to happen.

Last month, we officially designated MS13 and Tren de Aragua — that’s the Venezuelan gang, the toughest gang they say in the world — and the Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. That’s a big deal. Nobody wanted to do that. We’ve caught hundreds of them. You’ll be reading a lot of stories tomorrow about what we’ve done with them.

You’ll be very impressed and you’ll feel a lot safer too because they are vicious group. They went into Colorado, they took over areas of Colorado. They just took over a building and kept it. They said to the tenant, “Get the hell out of here.” One man called the police and they cut off his fingers and they said, “You call again, your other fingers, and you call a third time, and you’re dead”. These are tough people and bad people. We don’t just want to get them out. We have to put them in jail because we don’t want to even take a chance that they can come back.

Thanks to our efforts, Mexico recently handed over 29 of the biggest cartel leaders, including the depraved Kingpin charged with the 1985 murder of DEA Special Agent Camarena. That was a big deal. They’ve been looking for this person for many years and we got him. This evil killer will be now prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. It’s a very strong case. We’re stopping the criminals pouring across our borders at record levels. We’re also stopping the massive quantities of deadly drugs. in 2023 alone, drug overdoses killed more Americans in 12 months and they did during the entire decade between 1980 and 1990. So, 10 times more, but it’s much higher than that. More Americans died from fentanyl last year than died in the Korean War or the Iraq War or the Afghanistan War — all of them combined!

That’s why I placed large tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China. They will remain in place until these deadly poisons stop pouring into our country. As soon as soon as I put on the tariffs on Mexico, Canada. and China, unbelievable results have been seen in the last few weeks. They weren’t happy, but they are working like hell to end it. They weren’t working very hard before I did that.

With us today is a brave mother and advocate and father who lost their beautiful 15-year-old son to Fentanyl. I’d like to ask you to come up and say a few words, please. Thank you. Thank you very much….

“America is safe again. We elected President Donald J Trump and he’s done everything he promised….. So, I feel like I can speak for the entire fentanyl-fighting community when I say, “Thank you” to President Trump. And thank you to Pam Bondi and everyone out here who is fighting this fight. God bless you. God bless you, President Trump. God Bless America.”

Thank you very much. We’re also joined today by a number of other American families who have lost loved ones to Fentanyl and I’d love you to just stand up for a second and we want to acknowledge you and also your daughters your sons. They’re looking down on you and they’re loving you like crazy. So, thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you.

This department will not rest until we have ended the fentanyl epidemic in America once and for all. In less than 2 months since I took office, the DEA and FBI seized nearly 1 million deadly doses of Fentanyl — and that’s just the beginning. At my direction and working with Pam and everybody else, we’ve launched an all-out war on Fentanyl traffickers. It’s a war that we’re going to win.

I spoke with the president of Mexico…. I said, “Does Mexico have much of a drug problem?” ….She said, “No, we’re not a consuming nation”. I said, “Why are you not a consumer?” She said, “We spend a lot of money on advertising saying how bad drugs are, They’re very rough ads, they show the skin falling off and the teeth falling out, and going blind and losing hair — everything that these things. do you look like you just came out of a horrible concentration camps.”

I realized what a great idea that is. We have hired Susie who did a lot of our campaign work and we’ve come up with an advertising campaign that I think is really incredible. It’s terrible to watch! It’s the only way it’s going to work and we got the numbers down 18%. We have a blue ribbon committee headed by the First Lady of the United States and some of her friends.

They’re dealing with a very smart and very vicious people. You know, some of those cartels are run better than any business in America. They are all over the world. We got it down 18%. It’s like a record but when you think of it, it’s not very much if you want to get it down to close to 100% with the death penalty. I think maybe America is not ready for that. China has the death penalty, Singapore has a death penalty. Wherever you have the death penalty, you don’t have drugs, but I just don’t know if this country is ready for it. So, I tell people and it’s always an option. I just don’t know if you’re ready for it, and that’s okay.

I think we can get it down 505% with this campaign when people see all the horrible things that these drugs do to you, We’re specially focused on fentanyl. When they see all of the horrible things that happen when you take drugs, how you look, I think they may take a pass.

However, there is big danger Pam and I were talking about before. A lot of people are taking Fentanyl and not even knowing it. They think they’re doing something else or maybe taking another drug, but at a much lower level. and they die. We’re going to do this campaign. It’s going to be launched fairly soon.

Susy and I think it’s going to have a big impact. I thank the president of Mexico actually gave me an idea that I think will be very successful and it’s going to be amazing under our leadership.

This department is once again laser focused on protecting the American people. We’re defending our borders, our streets. our children, and our liberties. We’re going to defend our country and we’re going to defend our rights. etched onto the walls of this building. The English philosopher John Locke said, ”Where law ends, tyranny begins” I saw it over the last four years when somebody was allowed to attack viciously with this department and the FBI his political opponent.

How did that work out? Didn’t work out too well, but it wasn’t pleasant. I was attacked by a political opponent. Probably it helped that I was attacked more than anybody in the history of our country. The Great Alphonse Capone, legendary Scarface, was attacked only a tiny fraction of what Trump was attacked….

Maybe they helped get me elected by those margins, the big mandate that we received. But, you can’t go after your political opponent. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it actually. and hopefully they won’t see anything like it now with the return of Law and Order. The entire world is witnessing the Triumph of American Justice and American Freedom.

That’s why we’re here today — gathered with people that have love for our country. In the coming years, we will revive the legacy of this department. It’s happening right now. I can feel it and rekindle the spirit of the great lawmen and legal Lions of the past. Americans, like, Wyatt Earp, Elliot Nest, Frank Hammer, and Rudy Giuliani. Rudy Giuliani had to suffer greatly as the greatest mayor in the history of our country. Ed Meese, Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia, and Robert Jackson. We will rebuild pride in our institutions. We will restore the prestige of this great department and we will bring back faith in our justice system for the citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed.

I want to just tell you that this has been a great honor. I think it’s really important and I may never do it again. I may never have another chance to do it because this is something I’m leaving to the greatest people I know — the best people the smartest people the toughest people I know. They are going to do an incredible job and it’s an honor for me to have won this election so I can appoint these people to do their job and they’re going to do it Like you have never seen.

So, I just want to wish all of you good luck. It’s going to be an interesting Journey. It’s not going to be easy, but you’re going to win. You’re going to win, win, win, win and fight, fight, fight, fight. It’s going to end up being a tremendous result for this country. So, thank you all very much. God bless America, God bless you all. Thank you.

Victor Davis Hanson: Trump’s Counterrevolution in Washington 2/19/25

Victor Davis Hanson discusses the misleading information about the first 30 days of the Trump administration’s actions, comparing it to FDR’s first hundred days. On this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” Hanson describes the current period as a “Trump restoration” rather than a revolution, emphasizing it as a counterrevolution against the changes brought by the Obama administration.

“ We don’t really appreciate what we’ve been through with eight years of the Obama revolution and the four-year, more radical third term of Obama using or employing the wax effigy of Joe Biden. A revolution that we’ve experienced was a cultural, economic, political, social revolution. It was very similar to the French Revolution under the Robespierre brothers. You should remember what they tried to do. They changed the days of the week. They renamed things. They tore down statues. They went after the churches. Does this sound familiar? … So this was a revolutionary movement. Movies were different. Sports were different. Take a knee.

And Donald Trump came in and it was not sufficient to say we’re going to stop the madness of $37 billion. … It’s a return to normalcy. It’s a return to common sense. It only looks revolutionary to revolutionaries.

But to the rest of the people, it is a counterrevolution to restore normalcy and bring the country from the far-left fringes back home again.”
