CHAINED INTO BY THE PRESIDENT IT WAS AN OFFICIAL DOCUMENT.
>> LET’S BRING IN VICE PRESIDENT
MIKE PENCE, YOU WERE STANDING
RIGHT NEXT TO HER WHAT WAS YOUR
REACTION, DID YOU REALIZE SHE
WAS RIPPING IT UP AND WHAT SHE
WAS DOING.
WAS DOING. >> I DID NOT SEE HER DO IT I
FOUND OUT A FEW MOMENTS LATER
AND I THINK IT WAS A NEW LOW.
I WAS NOT SURE SHE WAS RIPPING
UP THE SPEECH OR THE
CONSTITUTION.
CONSTITUTION. IT IS CLEAR THE CONTRAST WITH
THE PRESIDENT WHO SPENT AN HOUR
AND A HALF MAKING A SPEECH ABOUT
AMERICA.
AMERICA. IN NANCY PELOSI IN THE FINAL
MOMENTS TRIED TO MAKE IT ABOUT
HER AND I THINK THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE SEE THROUGH IT AND SEE
THROUGH THE PETTINESS AND
POLITICS AND I THINK WHAT THEY
GOT LAST NIGHT WAS A SPEECH THAT
LIFTED UP THE COUNTRY THAT
CELEBRATED THE INCREDIBLE
PROGRESS THAT WE’VE MADE IN OUR
ECONOMY, READ BUILDING OUR
MILITARY AND STRENGTHENING OUR
COURSE.
COURSE. BUT THE STORIES THAT THE
PRESIDENT TOLD WERE AMERICAN
STORIES AND I JUST KNOW IT WAS A
GREAT BLESSING TO PEOPLE ALL
ACROSS AMERICA AND ONE OF THE
REASONS WHY YOU SEE THE MOMENTUM
GROWING BEHIND THE PRESIDENT, I
JUST HAVE A STRONG FEELING THAT
SHE WILL BE THE LAST SPEAKER OF
THE HOUSE TO SIT IN THAT CHAIR
FOR LONG-TERM.
FOR LONG-TERM. >> WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT GIVEN THE
FACT WE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE
THAT BEFORE.
THAT BEFORE. I THINK SOME PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT
THE SORE LOSER MOVE.
AT THE END OF THE SUPER BOWL
THE 49ERS TOOK THE LOMBARDI
TROPHY AWAY FROM THE CHIEFS AND
SPIKED IT OR SOMETHING LIKE
THAT.
THAT. YOU THINK SHE POINTED TO THE ALL
LONG.
LONG. >> IF IT LIKE IT WAS AN
IMMEDIATE MOMENT I HAVE BEEN TO
A LOT OF THE STATE OF THE UNION
ADDRESSES AS A MEMBER OF
CONGRESS AND NOW THIS IS MY
FOURTH AS A VICE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES.
AND THERE’S ALWAYS A BASIC TO
QUORUM AND A BASIC RESPECT.
BUT TO HAVE HER STAND UP AND
TEAR UP THE SPEECH REALLY JUST
HONOR THE MOMENT AND I REALLY
THOUGHT IT WAS BENEATH THE
DIGNITY OF A JOINT SESSION OF
CONGRESS AND I THINK IT WILL BE
REMEMBERED.
REMEMBERED. >> A LOT OF PEOPLE SAID IN THE
WHITE HOUSE TWEETED OUT WHEN SHE
RIPPED UP THE SPEECH SHE RIPPED
UP THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN, THE
SURVIVAL OF THE CHILD BORN
EARLY, KAYLA WHEELER, JODI
JOINED US IN STUDIO A VICTIM OF
AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT KILLED HIM
LET’S US IN HIS VOICE.
>> SHE RIPPED HER HEART OUT, ALL
THE GUESTS, WE CANNOT BELIEVE
IT.
IT. I DON’T CARE HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT
SOMEBODY, THAT WAS PROBABLY THE
MOST DISRESPECTFUL THING OF
OVERSEEING IN MY LIFE.
WHEN SHE DID THAT IT JUST TORE
US UP.
US UP. WE CANNOT BELIEVE IT.
>> I MET JODY AND THE REST OF
ROCKY’S FAMILY, KAREN AND I HAD
A FEW MOMENTS AND THE PRESIDENT
HAD TIME WITH THEM.
THIS IS A GRIEVING FAMILY WHO
LOST A LOVED ONE AT THE HANDS OF
AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN
CALIFORNIA.
CALIFORNIA. AS SHE RIPPED UP ROCKY STORY SHE
RIPPED UP JENAE A AND STORY ABOU
GENERAL MICKEY, I DON’T GET HER
TAKE ON THIS.
NOW SHE’S SAYING IT WAS FILLED
WITH LIES, WHAT LIES WERE THERE.
I WATCHED THE PRESIDENT BUILD
THE SPEECH, EVERYTHING ABOUT THE
ECONOMY, THE MILITARY,
EVERYTHING ABOUT PRESIDENT
TRUMP’S DECISIVE ACTION TAKEN
OUT AL-BAGHDADI AND SOLEIMANI IN
RESTORING AMERICANS IN THE
HOPEFUL ASPIRATION TONE AT THE
END.
END. I EXPECT WHEN THAT SETTLES ON
THE SPEECH WILL BE ONE OF THE
BEST DATA THE UNION ADDRESSES IN
HISTORY.
HISTORY. >> , HAVE YOU BEEN TOO.
>> I DON’T EVER REMEMBER
WATCHING THIS IN SEEN PEOPLE GET
REWARDS.
REWARDS. YOU HAD THE WILLIAMS FAMILY AND
HE COMES OUT OF THE AUDIENCE AND
SURPRISES HIS FAMILY HE’S BEEN
GONE FOR SEVEN MONTHS.
THE LITTLE GIRL YOU MENTIONED
HER, SHE LIVED IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THE SCHOOLS
ARE NOT GOOD, HER MOM WAS A
SINGLE MOM AND WANTED TO GIVE
HER A BETTER LIFE AND HE SAID
HE’S GOING TO GIVE HER A BETTER
SCHOLARSHIP AND YOU COULD CHOOSE
WHICH SCHOOL YOU WANT TO GO TO
IN THE REACTION OF THE DAUGHTER
SO EXCITED BECAUSE SHE WILL HAVE
A BETTER LIFE AND BETTER
EDUCATION.
EDUCATION. >> LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
JANIYAH’S MOM STEPHANIE IS A
SINGLE PARENT SHE WOULD DO
ANYTHING TO GIVE HER DAUGHTER A
BETTER FUTURE.
BETTER FUTURE. BUT THAT WAS PUT FURTHER OUT OF
REACH WHEN THE GOVERNOR VETOED
TO EXPAND TO MORE CHILDREN.
I AM PLEASED TO INFORM YOU YOUR
LONG WAIT IS OVER.
I PROUDLY ANNOUNCED TONIGHT THAT
AN OPPORTUNITY SCHOLARSHIP HAS
BECOME AVAILABLE, IT IS GOING TO
YOU AND YOU WILL SOON BE HEADING
TO THE SCHOOL OF YOUR CHOICE.
[CHEERING]
[CHEERING] >> IT WAS SO COOL BECAUSE
PRESIDENTS ALWAYS TALK ABOUT
WHAT THEY’VE DONE AND WHAT THEY
HOPE TO DO IN THESE WERE TV
MOMENTS THAT WE ACTUALLY SAW, IT
WASN’T LIKE THIS PERSON -- WE
SELL TO DE AIRMEN, WE SAW JUAN
GUAIDO AND RUSH LIMBAUGH THAT
WAS REVEALED HE HAS STAGE IV
CANCER.
CANCER. HE IS IN THE FIGHT OF HIS LIFE.
THE PRESIDENT DID THIS LAST
NIGHT WITH RUSH.
>> RUSH IN RECOGNITION OF ALL
THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR NATION.
THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE A DAY
THAT YOU SPEAK TO AND YOU
INSPIRE AND ALL OF THE
INCREDIBLE WORK THAT YOU’VE DONE
FOR CHARITY, I AM PROUD TO
ANNOUNCE TONIGHT YOU WILL BE
RECEIVING THE COUNTRY’S HIGHEST
CIVILIAN HONOR, THE PRESIDENTIAL
MEDAL OF FREEDOM.
I WILL NOW ASK THE FIRST LADY OF
THE UNITED STATES TO PRESENT YOU
WITH THE HONOR.
[APPLAUSE]
[APPLAUSE] >> THAT ALWAYS HAPPENS AT THE
WHITE HOUSE AND NEVER HAPPENS IN
CONGRESS, RUSH DID NOT SEE THAT
HAPPENING.
HAPPENING. YOU ARE ON THE RADIO TOGETHER
WHEN YOU ARE BACK IN INDIANA.
>> BACK IN THE 1990S WHEN HE
BECAME A NATIONAL PHENOMENON.
30 YEARS AGO.
I WAS IN THE RADIO BUSINESS IT’S
WHAT SEAN HANNITY SAID THE OTHER
NIGHT, RUSH LIMBAUGH PLOWED THE
WAY FOR CONSERVATIVE MEN AND
WOMEN ON THE AIRWAYS OF AMERICA,
NOT JUST RADIO BUT TELEVISION.
HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THIS
COUNTRY, THE
COUNTRY, THE MEMORABLE AND I KNOW FOR A FACT
HE DID NOT EXPECT THE METAL LAST
NIGHT.
NIGHT. I REACHED HIM SHORTLY AFTER HE
AND CATHERINE LEFT THE CAPITAL
AND HE WAS VERY MOVED AND HE
TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO SPEND
THE REST OF HIS LIFE TRYING TO
EARN IT AND I SAID RUSH YOU HAVE
ALREADY EARNED IT.
EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE DONE,
THE VALUES THAT HAVE MADE THIS
COUNTRY GREAT.
COUNTRY GREAT. >> WHAT WAS HIS WIFE SAYING
AFTER BECAUSE HE WAS SITTING
NEXT TO HIM.
>> IT’S A CHALLENGING MOMENT FOR
HIM THE DIAGNOSIS BECAUSE HE’S A
STRONG GUY, MILLIONS OF
AMERICANS INCLUDING OUR FAMILIES
ARE GOING TO BE PRAYING FOR HIM
AND A SWIFT RECOVERY.
KAREN SAID THEY WERE VERY MOVED
AND SHE ASSURED THEM OF OUR
PRAYERS AND RUSH TOLD ME LAST
NIGHT THAT HIS WIFE SAID GOD IS
WORKING IN ALL THIS.
AND I BELIEVE THAT MOMENT -- WE
ALL FIND OUT ABOUT RUSH AND THEN
THE PRESIDENT HAD THIS THOUGHT
TO SAY I WANT TO HAVE YOU COME
TO THE STATE OF THE UNION.
BUT THEN HE TOLD HIM, I KNOW YOU
HAVE SOME MEDICAL PROCEDURES
THIS WEEK BUT I LIKE TO HAVE
EITHER BUT HE DID NOT TELL HIM
IS GOING TO HAVE THE HIGHEST
CIVILIAN HONOR.
CIVILIAN HONOR. >> THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE DID
NOT EVEN LOOK UP.
IF YOU SEE THE VIDEO SHE WOULD
NOT EVEN LOOK UP.
>> HERE IS SOMEONE WITH STAGE IV
CANCER.
CANCER. AND IT STRIKES ME AS ONE OF
THOSE MOMENTS THAT WAS VERY
REVEALING, WHETHER THE RIPPING
UP OF THE PAGES OR HER TALKING
THROUGHOUT THE SPEECH WERE
LOOKING DOWN, I THINK IT WAS AN
ATTITUDE OF DISRESPECT THAT I
DON’T THINK REFLECTED HOW THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE WERE RESPONDING
TO THE SPEECH.
>> WAS SHE SPEAKING TO YOU
THROUGHOUT THE SPEECH.
>> SHE WAS.
OCCASIONALLY -- I WAS LISTENING
TO THE PRESIDENT XI CAN’T TELL
YOU EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS SAYING
BUT SHE SEEMED TO BE MUTTERING
ALONG ABOUT THINGS THAT THEY HAD
BEEN DOING I DON’T KNOW SHE
THOUGHT THEY WERE BEING
SUFFICIENT FOR BUT WHEN THEY
MENTIONED JANIYAH SHE AND HER
MOM ARE GOING TO FLY WITH ME
WERE GONNA DO A SCHOOL EVENT IN
WISCONSIN WHERE SCHOOL CHOICE
BEGAN 30 YEARS AGO AND I’LL TELL
YOU THESE WERE POWERFUL MOMENTS
ON TELEVISION BUT IS BECAUSE
THEY WERE REAL AND IN
PENNSYLVANIA WE HAVE A GOVERNOR
WHO JUST VETOED A BILL THAT
WOULD’VE EXPANDED EDUCATIONAL
CHOICE OPPORTUNITIES TO LIFT
FAMILIES JUST LIKE JENAE IS TO
BE ABLE TO CHOOSE THE BEST
PUBLIC AND HE VETOED THE BILL
AND DENIED IT.
AND THAT’S WITH THE PRESIDENT
LAST NIGHT SAID NOT ONLY DO WE
WANT TO OPEN DOORS FOR JANIYAH
BUT WE WANT TO OPEN FREEDOM
SCHOLARSHIPS ALL ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY. >> THE OTHER THING TODAY AT 4:00
THERE WILL BE A VOTE ON WHETHER
HE WILL BE IMPEACHED.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?
>> WE EXPECT A BIPARTISAN VOTE
IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE.
THE ONLY BIPARTISAN VOTE IN THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WAS
AGAINST THE ARTICLES OF
IMPEACHMENT.
IMPEACHMENT. AND WE EXPECT BIPARTISAN VOTE IN
THE UNITED STATES SENATE TODAY.
I MUST TELL YOU, I LOVE THE
SINNER OVER TO THE HOUSE
REPRESENTATIVES LAST NIGHT AND I
TALKED TO THE MEMBERS ABOUT HOW
GRATEFUL WE ARE FOR THE JOB THE
EVENT AND MOVING TOWARDS US WITH
ACQUITTAL IT IS SUCH A
DISSERVICE TO THE COUNTRY AND TO
LOOK OUT INTO THE DEMOCRATS WITH
HER ARMS FOLDED LAST NIGHT, THAT
CONTRASTED WITH THE PRESIDENT
WHO MADE THE SPEECH, MADE THE
MOMENT ABOUT HIM.
THAT WAS ALL THE TALK, WAS A
PRESIDENT GOING TO TALK ABOUT
IMPEACHMENT.
IMPEACHMENT. NO HE’S GOING TO TALK ABOUT
AMERICA AND THE PROGRESS WE’VE
MADE FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND
ALL WE CAN STILL DO.
>> I THINK THE CLASSY THING FOR
THE DEMOCRATS TO DO, THEY DID
NOT DO THIS BUT YOU KNOW WE’VE
HAD OUR DIFFERENCES IN THE PAST
WHICH IS A POLITE WAY TO SAY, WE
TRY TO THROW YOU OUT OF OFFICE,
BUT TOMORROW WITH THE ACQUITTAL
WE TURN THE PAGE.
LET’S TRY TO GET SOMETHING DONE
IN THE BONUS ROUND BEFORE THE
PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES
DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT WE GET TO
COME BACK AGAIN.
>> THAT WOULD’VE BEEN CLASSY BUT
I DID NOT SEE A LOT OF CLASS ON
THE DEMOCRAT SIDE.
A FEW EXCEPTIONS THERE WERE A
FEW THAT STOOD AT KEY MOMENTS
AND I TRIED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT.
I TRIED TO NOD TO THEM AND
EXPRESS APPRECIATION TO THEM
BECAUSE THEY GRAB THOSE MOMENTS.
BUT TO SEE THE ONE ISSUE AFTER
ANOTHER, FOR THE PRESIDENT TO
CELEBRATE THE LOWEST
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FOR
AFRICAN-AMERICANS IN HISTORY,
THE LOWEST FOR HIS PANIC
AMERICANS, ASIANS AMERICANS, AND
TO HAVE THEM SIT ON THEIR HANDS
WHEN THEY HEAR ABOUT AN
INCREDIBLE AMERICAN COMEBACK,
AGAIN I THINK THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE WATCHING HAD TO CONCLUDE
THIS FOCUSED ON THEM AND THE
DEMOCRAT MAJORITY FOCUSED ON
POLITICS IN THEIR AGENDA.
>> YOU AND I SHARE SIMILAR FAITH
AND A LOT OF THE COUNTRY WENT TO
THE POLLS AND VOTED FOR
PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE WHERE HE
STOOD ON CERTAIN ISSUES AND
WHERE YOU STAND ON CERTAIN
ISSUES.
ISSUES. MANY PEOPLE, I ALWAYS HEAR SO
PROUD OF YOUR BOLDNESS FOR
CHRIST.
CHRIST. AND THEY ARE CHRISTIANS ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE AISLE OBVIOUSLY.
PEOPLE SAY FROM BOTH SIDES OF
THE AISLE, WHAT IS HAPPENING TO
OUR COUNTRY, WHERE DO WE GO FROM
HERE.
HERE. PEOPLE ARE LOOKING TO YOU AS A
LEADER TO HELP US AND.
TO GOD -- THIS IS BECOME SO
DISMISSIVE, SO HATEFUL AND WE
THINK ABOUT OUR CONSTITUTION,
OUR FOREFATHERS IN OUR FAITH
MEANT A LOT TO THEM THEY WERE --
TO ME THIS IS HURTFUL.
>> YOU ARE RIGHT.
BUT AS I TRAVEL ALL OVER THE
COUNTRY AND I TRAVEL A LOT.
I AM STILL CONVINCED THERE’S
MORE THAT UNITES US THEN WILL
EVER DIVIDE US.
I MEET PEOPLE EVERYDAY I’LL BE
IN PENNSYLVANIA TODAY AND I
ALWAYS TRY AND THINK PEOPLE AND
ENCOURAGE THEM TO PRAY FOR THE
COUNTRY AND THE RANGE OF PEOPLE
THAT WILL STOP ME ON THE DINER
OR ON A STREET CNER OR IN A
ROPE LINE AT A RALLY AND SAY
TELL THE PRESIDENT WE ARE
PRAYING FOR HIM AND WERE PRAYING
FOR YOU AND WERE PAYING FOR THE
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY. IT’S A STRING OF SUPPORT THAT IS
ALWAYS BEEN AN AMERICAN.
>> WHAT CAN GET DONE IN THE NEXT
FEW MONTHS.
FEW MONTHS. >> IN INFRASTRUCTURE, DRUGS, HOW
CAN WE SEE THAT, YOU TALKED
ABOUT BUT THERE WAS NOTHING ON
THE DACA FOR HEALTHCARE THAT WE
CAN SEE STRAIGHT AHEAD OR IS
THERE.
THERE. >> HE SAID PUT ON MY DESK AND I
WILL SIGN IT.
>> WE CAN LOWER THE COST OF
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS RIGHT OUT OF
THE PROGRAM.
THE PROGRAM. WE HAVE LEGISLATION THAT IS
BIPARTISAN LEGISLATION AND CHUCK
GRASSLEY AND WHITING HAS WORKED
ON THAT AND I BEEN ON MEETINGS
IN THE WEST WING WHERE WE TALKED
ABOUT THIS IN THE PRESIDENT SAID
PASS A BIPARTISAN BILL, PUT IT
ON MY DESK WILL LOWER
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS FOR THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
AMERICAN PEOPLE. WE CAN WORK ON HEALTHCARE.
WE CAN WORK ON INFRASTRUCTURE.
MY GOSH, WHEN I WAS IN THE
CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES,
ONE THING YOU CAN ALWAYS GET
PEOPLE TO AGREE ON WAS ROADS AND
BRIDGES.
BRIDGES. >> WHO PAYS FOR NOW.
>> I REMIND PEOPLE REMEMBER YOU
ELECTED A BUILDER TO BE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA.
OF AMERICA. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A PRESIDENT
IN THE OVAL OFFICE THAT WANTED
TO REBUILD AMERICA MORE THAN
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.
THERE IS OTHER LEGISLATION ON
THE BOOKS JOHN ROSS IS BILL AND
THE QUESTION IS DO THE DEMOCRATS
ACTUALLY WANT TO GET ANYTHING
DONE FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND
LAST NIGHT THEY JUST SIMPLY
SIGNAL THEY WANT TO FIGHT IT OUT
IN ELECTION.
IN ELECTION. WERE PREPARED TO DO EITHER ONE,
THE PRESIDENT MADE IT VERY CLEAR
WHERE PREPARED TO WORK FOR YOU
TO MOVE THE COUNTRY FORWARD BUT
WERE ALSO PREPARED TO GO OUT
THERE FOR FOUR MORE YEARS.
>> TO INVESTIGATE, INVESTIGATE,
INVESTIGATE I HEAR THERE’S MORE
COMING.
COMING. >> THE GREAT AMERICAN COMEBACK.
