President Donald J. Trump closed his rousing address in Phoenix, Arizona, at Turning Point Action’s AmFest by pledging a “common sense revolution” to restore America, declaring, “Woke has to stop.” He did not mince words, emphatically stating, “Woke is bullsh*t,” as the crowd erupted into applause.
Trump promised his second term would usher in “the best day one, the biggest first week, and the most extraordinary first 100 days of any President in American history.”
Historic Turnout
Thousands of Trump supporters gathered at the Phoenix Convention Center, with many arriving as early as 1:00 a.m., lining the streets to secure a place for the speech. Trump’s appearance marked his first major rally since his landslide November 5 election victory and likely his final significant address before his January 20, 2025, inauguration.
Highlights from Trump’s Speech
Trump told the energized crowd: “The Golden Age of America is upon us,” praising record-breaking achievements since the election.
Trump detailed recent successes:
• Stock Market Records: “Since the election, the stock market has broken one record after another, the biggest gain of stock market after an election in history.”
• Business Optimism: “Small business optimism soared 41 points, a record.”
• Bitcoin Milestone: “Bitcoin surged to an all-time high of $108,000.”
• Investment Boom: “Masayoshi Son of SoftBank announced plans to invest up to $200 billion in the U.S., creating 100,000 jobs—because I won the election.”
Trump also touted his “All-Star cabinet,” including Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary, Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary nominee, Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence nominee, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health and Human Services Secretary nominee, emphasizing their potential to execute his ambitious agenda.
Emotional Moment with Angel Mom
In a heartfelt segment, Trump invited Angel Mom Patty Morin, the mother of Rachel Morin, onstage to speak about her daughter, who was tragically murdered by an illegal immigrant during the Biden administration.
Through tears, Morin said:
“But the thing I appreciate the most is that he heard the cries of a mother, and he cared. He made a promise that he was going to protect us, and that’s all you can ask from your president.”
Trump embraced Morin, reaffirming his commitment to securing the nation’s borders and protecting Americans.
Vision for America
Trump reiterated his mandate from voters and outlined his promises, which he plans to implement swiftly:
• Ending Radical Agendas: “We’ll end all Marxist diversity, equity, and inclusion policies across the federal government and ban them from the private sector.”
• National Defense: “As Commander in Chief, I will restore the proud names of our military bases, like Fort Bragg.”
• Economic Prosperity: “We’re going to cut your taxes, end inflation, raise wages, and bring thousands of factories roaring back to America.”
• Education Reforms: “We’ll get critical race theory and transgender insanity out of our schools very fast.”
• Border Security: “We will stop illegal immigration once and for all. That will stop in just a few very short weeks.”
Closing Remarks
Trump ended by pledging:
“We will build up our country, defend our borders, and protect our citizens. We will not be overrun or conquered. We will be a free and proud nation again.”
To cap off the event, Trump broke into his signature dance to “YMCA” as the crowd cheered, energized for the future.
