From Fox News.com (Mar. 5):
President Donald Trump addressed both chambers of Congress Tuesday evening in an expansive speech that lasted more than 90 minutes, as he took a victory lap for his accomplishments thus far and previewed his vision for the future.
The speech marked Trump's first address before Congress since he reclaimed the Oval Office in January. Though similar to a State of the Union Speech, Trump's address did not carry the same official title as he has not been in office a full year.
Fox News Digital compiled the top five moments from Trump's address, including Democratic protests, chants of "USA, USA, USA" and Trump revealing that a top terrorist has been apprehended.
1. Trump sets speech record while declaring ‘America is back’
Trump spoke for about an hour and 40 minutes, notching the longest address a president has delivered before a joint session of Congress, according to the American Presidency Project at the University of California at Santa Barbara. The longest speech on record previously was held by former President Bill Clinton, when he spoke for one hour and 28 minutes during his State of the Union Address in 2000.

2. Sergeant-at-Arms escorts Rep. Al Green out, Democrats protest with signs
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson ordered the sergeant at arms to remove Democratic Texas Rep. Al Green after he repeatedly shouted during Trump's opening remarks.
"Members are engaging in willful and continuing breach of decorum, and the chair is prepared to direct the sergeant at arms to restore order to the joint session," Johnson warned as a handful of Democrats disrupted Trump.
"Mr. Green, take your seat," he said, as Green continued shouting and shaking his cane at Trump.

3. Trump honors young women killed by illegal immigrants
Trump honored the lives of Laken Riley and Jocelyn Nungaray — who both were brutally killed by illegal immigrants under the Biden administration — including naming an animal refuge after Nungaray.
"Alexis, I promised that we would always remember your daughter, your magnificent daughter," Trump said while directing his attention to Jocelyn Nungaray's mom, Alexis. "And earlier tonight I signed an order keeping my word to you. One thing I have learned about Jocelyn is that she loved animals so much. She loved nature. Across Galveston Bay, from where Jocelyn lived in Houston, you will find a magnificent National Wildlife Refuge. A pristine, peaceful, 34,000-acre sanctuary for all of God's creatures on the edge of the Gulf of America."
The 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was sexually assaulted and murdered by strangulation when two illegal immigrants in their 20s allegedly lured the young girl under a bridge before killing her in June 2024.

5. 13-year-old cancer survivor earns standing ovation as he becomes Secret Service agent
DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old boy who survived cancer, stole the show Tuesday evening when the president introduced him to the audience and officially swore him in as a member of the Secret Service.
"Joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police," Trump told the crowd. "His name is DJ Daniel is 13 years old, and he has always dreamed of becoming a police officer. But in 2018, D.J. was diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctors gave him five months at most to live. That was more than six years ago." [read more]
A great speech. The Dems with their bingo protest paddles and signs and not standing up and clapping for President Trump's guests were childish. ☹️ They should be ashamed of themselves but they probably aren't.
