00:00The golden age of America begins right now.

00:03We will be the envy of every nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of

00:08any longer. The United States will once again consider itself a growing nation,

00:15one that increases our wealth, expands our territory, builds our cities, raises our

00:20expectations, and carries our flag into new and beautiful horizons. And we will pursue our

00:27manifest destiny into the stars, launching American astronauts

00:32to plant the stars and stripes on the planet Mars.

00:40First, I will declare a national emergency at our southern border.

00:47All illegal entry will immediately be halted, and we will begin the process of returning millions

00:55and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came.

01:01We will reinstate my Remain in Mexico policy. I will end the practice of catch and release,

01:10and I will send troops to the southern border to repel the disastrous invasion of our country.

01:16Today, I will also declare a national energy emergency. We will drill, baby, drill.

01:26America will be a manufacturing nation once again, and we have something that no other

01:31manufacturing nation will ever have, the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on Earth,

01:37and we are going to use it. We will bring prices down,

01:43fill our strategic reserves up again right to the top, and export American energy all over

01:51the world. This week, I will also end the government policy of trying to

01:57socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.

02:03We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based.

02:12As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States

02:21government that there are only two genders, male and female.
