Team is like.
Thank you, Mr. President, for declassifying a lot of this. Folks, obviously, was like itching to get on the air today.
When you go and take a job in the government, especially in the executive branch, the president is the ultimate declassifier. The job is not about you. I don't know if you noticed what I was in there. I did very few media appearances. I think it was four or five. I don't know. Someone fact checked me there. Four or five. I didn't do many at all because the job is not about you.
When the president is ready to tell the American people about things he chooses to put in his daily agenda, especially things that have been classified by various entities, he will. It's not my job to do that. I don't have the power to do that. Didn't have the power to do that before, but he does. And it's fascinating that he gives this really incredible prime time address, discloses stuff that when I've tweeted to you in the past that just because you don't see things happening, they were happening behind the scenes. I hope now it makes more sense. Someone said, Dan, a lot of people owe you an apology in a tweet thing. I'm not interested in anyone's apology. No one owes me an apology for I appreciate it, but I liked it, but no one owes me anything. I understand why people are upset. But I can't unilaterally usurp the president and say, now is the time to run with this stuff. That now that he has, and it's in the public domain, now I hope a lot of this makes sense. When I talk to you about and have many times in the, what is it, five, six months back, I don't know, Justin, I have spoken to you many, many times about be careful. Listen to me, please. Be careful what you're reading on X and elsewhere because there are well-funded, foreign-influenced psychological operations. It's not a conspiracy theory. Psiops are real. Being run against you to get you to believe things. Now do you see why I was so passionate about it? What do you think? I was just making it up?
Do you think the president was lying to you last night? Do not bury the lead on what happened last night. Psychological manipulation operations and the deep state, silly state, dark state, okay, what the hell you want to call it, was very real. Components of it are still there hiding. That was the essence of what was said last night. Don't bury the lead. He proved it to you last night. How do you think we found this stuff? Sitting there watching Teletubbies reaper runs in our office?
There were two things, or two things now, that I have been extremely passionate and emotional about, almost too emotional.
Be careful where you consume your information. Some of the stuff you're being told from people who've mysteriously changed overnight did not change because their convictions changed. Many of them likely changed because it was a financial incentive or an op being run on you. Second, the SAVE Act. Why do you think I'm so passionate about the SAVE Act? After last night, I think now it makes sense.
Folks, I got a lot to get to, so let me... This is going to be a ride today. I'm going to put this together for you within bounds because, again, it's not my job to classify. It's his administration. I didn't win the presidency. President Trump did. When he's ready to tell you more, he'll tell you more. However, now that some of this material is in the public domain, I can provide some color commentary how it got there and how it fits into the bigger puzzle, and we'll do that for you today.

Fellas, let's go. You ready to take a ride? So it's tragic. It's really tragic that the left-wing and corrupted media was so willing was, not was, is still willing to entertain the 2016 election was stolen by the Russians and Donald Trump. Ridiculous absurdities. They still believe this or pretend to believe this. So do innumerable leftist lunatics out there. And yet, the president last night, President Trump, gives a primetime address where he lays out Intel, I'm very familiar with, that I promise you is very real about deep state activities. And I don't care what you call it. Again, I can't say it enough. If that term bothers you, I really don't care. Use whatever term you want. The corrupted state, the bureaucracy, the swamp. I don't care. He laid out to you last night, evidence over the past year, we've been working our asses off. And corrupted media types are just there. Oh, Trump's lying. Listen to me, I'm really trying to control the expletives. That's bullshit. That is bull shit.
