Transcript (auto-generated) 0:00 Americans I am Colonel Douglas McGregor combat veteran and former senior adviser to the Secretary of Defense under President Trump as Chief Executive Officer of our country our choice 0:13 I want to respectfully present an alternative view of the State of the Union the Constitution, our nation's Guiding Light, mandates that the government promote the general welfare a charge that obligates Washington to secure the basic necessities of life 0:28 energy food and 0:31 shelter regrettably the current 0:33 Administration is failing to perform 0:35 these 0:36 tasks the current Administration claims 0:38 the gross domestic product is booming 0:40 but much of it comes from government 0:42 spending and employment the government 0:44 share of gross domestic product in the 0:46 United States today is 42% including 0:49 federal state and local spending this 0:51 outrageous share is similar to what it 0:53 was in the Soviet Union in the late 0:55 1980s before the 0:58 collapse rampant in inflation stemming 1:01 from this government share of the 1:02 economy makes it difficult for families 1:04 to buy nutritious food a dozen eggs 1:07 which could be bought for less than $1 1:10 in 2019 now ranges from $2 to $4 today 1:14 with price increases of over 100% in the 1:17 same period a median household income 1:19 increased by a mere 1:21 9% High mortgage interest rates jumping 1:24 from 2% to 7.5% in less than 3 years 1:28 places the dream of home ownership ship 1:31 Out Of Reach for too many 1:33 Americans our national security is 1:36 compromised unstable Supply chains leave 1:39 many store shelves empty our power 1:41 plants and Manufacturing facilities lack 1:44 key spare parts ill-conceived domestic 1:47 policies result in job losses and 1:49 homelessness the pursuit of misguided 1:52 foreign military interventions has not 1:54 only drained our resources but also 1:56 imperiled our hard one energy 1:58 Independence subjecting Americans to 2:01 Rising fuel prices and foreign influence 2:04 today the government employs an 2:06 estimated 2.87 million people if we 2:10 include Federal contractors this number 2:13 balloons to between 12 and 25 2:16 million all of these events occur 2:19 against the backdrop of a national 2:20 sovereign debt that has skyrocketed to 2:23 34 trillion even worse we are currently 2:26 adding another trillion dollars to 2:28 national debt roughly every 3 2:32 months it is impossible to drain the 2:35 swamp with unsound money and a colossal 2:38 debt that we cannot 2:40 sustain tragically DC Beltway 2:43 politicians are controlled by the 2:45 so-called donor class this form of 2:48 corruption is enabled by a cancerous 2:50 Central banking system with privileged 2:53 access to Capital this ruling class 2:55 orchestrates endless Wars enriching 2:58 themselves and their cronies while 3:00 sending our soldiers Sailors Airmen and 3:03 Marines to serve in foreign lands of 3:06 marginal strategic interest to the 3:08 United 3:09 States meanwhile open borders are 3:12 allowing millions of illegals or 3:13 migrants to flood into our country this 3:16 uncontrolled influx is straining our 3:19 resources overwhelming our communities 3:21 and destroying our prosperity Reckless 3:24 calls to defund and punish the police 3:27 are crippling law enforcement officers 3:30 are underfunded undermanned and unable 3:32 to protect our citizens making our 3:35 cities unsafe for all especially women 3:39 children and the 3:41 elderly open borders cannot be divorced 3:44 from an explosion of criminality never 3:47 before seen in the history of our 3:48 country the number of Americans dying 3:51 from illegal drug or fentanyl overdose 3:53 is over 100,000 each year much of it 3:57 trafficed through the wide open Southern 3:59 border 4:00 there are more than 26,000 homicides 4:03 each year according to the FBI crime 4:06 statistics this is likely an undercount 4:09 because in the last two years more than 4:11 40% of police agencies did not report 4:14 data because of a change in the system 4:16 the FBI uses under political 4:19 pressure the number of missing children 4:22 each year is estimated at over 4:25 800,000 which works out to be over 2,000 4:28 children every day 4:30 this alarming statistic is worsened by 4:32 the overt sexualization of our children 4:34 in public schools our children are our 4:38 future they should be protected not 4:42 exploited Washington has also spent 14 4:45 trillion dollars on various Middle East 4:47 Wars over the last 23 years in a series 4:50 of self-defeating military interventions 4:53 more recently Washington spent hundreds 4:55 of billions of dollars on an unnecessary 4:58 war with Russia with little to show for 5:00 it except higher prices for millions of 5:03 Americans at the supermarket and the gas 5:05 pump trillions were also wasted in the 5:08 aftermath of the engineered covid 5:10 disaster enriching the laptop class 5:14 Silicon Valley Wall Street and big 5:17 business while American workers small 5:20 business owners and independent 5:22 contractors were destroyed trillions 5:25 have been wasted on unreliable green 5:27 energy with Metals mined and Africa and 5:30 processed in China while destroying 5:32 American jobs and ignoring our domestic 5:36 resources the bottom line is the state 5:39 of the union is not strong in fact it is 5:43 fragile and 5:45 deteriorating the question before us is 5:48 where does America Go From Here consider 5:51 the following actions that should be 5:53 taken as soon as 5:55 possible first we must secure our 5:58 borders our Airport ports and harbors 6:01 defending the United States and the 6:02 American people must be our top priority 6:05 in

to uphold the Constitution and 6:36 who release violent criminals and 6:38 illegals into our country it is time to 6:41 revisit the practice of judicial 6:43 appointments for 6:45 Life fourth an effective American 6:48 Military establishment demands 6:50 merit-based selection and promotion 6:53 fundamental reform to reduce overhead 6:55 and maximize fighting Power is vital 6:58 today we have 43 four stars for 1.1 7:02 million soldiers Sailors Airmen and 7:05 Marines in 1943 when 12 million men were 7:08 serving we had only seven four 7:12 stars however strengthening our nation's 7:14

staff these jobs for the 8:05 future we must make public education a 8:07 path to employment American companies 8:10 and individuals must be given one-time 8:13 tax exemptions to bring trillions of 8:15 dollars back to the United 8:17 States we must act swiftly to pair down 8:20 the Staffing of federal government 8:22 agencies Elon Musk eliminated 70% of 8:26 woke staff at X forly Twitter with no 8:29 loss of site performance we can do the 8:32 same with our bloated 8:34 bureaucracy we must audit the Federal 8:37 Reserve they have failed in their 8:39 mandate to maximize employment and 8:41
