05:13 Share

It was the longest presidential address before Congress on record. I'm Dave Anthony, Fox News, an hour and 40 minutes. To my fellow citizens, America is back. And President Trump touted what he's done so far in his return. It has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action.

to usher in the greatest and most successful era. Citing his work to slash the size and cost of government and saying we're no longer woke. We've ended the tyranny of so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. The president also said his new tariffs will stop the U.S. from being ripped off. A new trade policy will also be great for the American farmer. I love the farmer. Yeah!

Though he did ask farmers to bear with him that there will be an adjustment period as Trump critics warn of more inflation and economic trouble. Democrats booed the president at times. Some held up signs like false and this is not normal. Congressman Al Green shouted at the president, waving his cane and then...

House Speaker Mike Johnson intervened. Members are directed to uphold and maintain decorum in the House and to cease any further disruptions. And Greene was escorted out, saying after... I've said I'll accept the punishment, but it's worth it. In the official Democratic response after the speech, Senator Alyssa Slotkin said... America wants change.

but there's a responsible way to make change and a reckless way. Warning. If he's not careful, he could walk us right into a recession. During the speech, President Trump also read a letter from Ukraine's leader who wrote he's ready to work out a lasting peace deal to end the war with Russia days after the contentious confrontation at the White House. President Trump also announced last night an ISIS terrorist has been captured.

believed responsible for the 2021 attack during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan that killed 13 American troops. National Security Advisor Mike Walsh just told Fox. The president said even to these families at Arlington, we're going to get this guy. We share the intelligence with Pakistan and he's rolled up and he will be he will be tried in a U.S. court. And due to make an appearance today in Virginia, America's listening to Fox.

In last night's speech, President Trump touted his declaration of a national emergency at the southern border as successful with a big drop in illegal crossings. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth tells Fox. President Trump gave us a charge. 100% operational control of the southern border.

Border security is national security. Today, Secretary Hegseth and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard will join Vice President Vance on a trip to the border. The White House says Vice President Vance will travel to Eagle Pass, Texas today, where he'll tour an immigration processing facility, making him the highest-ranking member of the Trump administration to visit the border town. And you highlight that after President Trump's first full month in office, illegal immigration at the southern border has plummeted.

to the lowest level in decades, with just over 8,000 apprehensions in February, according to Customs and Border Patrol, a 96% drop from December of 2023, when CBP reported over 300,000 illegal encounters at the southern border under the Biden administration. Jeff Manasso, Fox News. After President Trump's address last night, the Chinese embassy posted this on X.

If the war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war, or any other type, we're ready to fight till the end. This after President Trump doubled tariffs on Chinese imports, blaming China for the flow of the deadly drug fentanyl into the U.S., the same reason he put tariffs on goods coming here from Mexico and Canada. And speaking of fentanyl...

A little boy has died in New York City. Police say the boy's parents were taken in for questioning after the four-year-old child was unresponsive and in the middle of an apparent overdose when cops arrived at the Women in Need shelter in Flatbush, Brooklyn. EMS administered Narcan on the scene and rushed the boy to the hospital. The boy's parents were both taken into custody for questioning after investigators recovered drug paraphernalia inside the shelter, which police say will now be tested.
