In fact, we're winning so much that we really don't know what to do about it.

People are asking me, please, please, please, Mr. President, we're winning too much.

We're not used to winning in our country until you came along with just always losing.

And I say, no, no, no, you're going to win again.

And to prove that point, to prove that point, here with us tonight is a group of winners who just made the entire nation proud.

The men's gold medal Olympic hockey team.

That's the first time I've ever seen them get up.

And actually, not all of them did get up, but

they beat a fantastic Canadian team in overtime, as everybody saw, as did the American women who will soon be coming to the White House.

And I just want to say a second, very big congratulations to Team usa.

And I told them this, and we took a vote of the team.

I said, anybody votes no, I'm not doing it.

So they stood there and they weren't about to say no.

Because I'd never seen a goaltender play as well as goalie Connor Hallebuck.

And I asked him, the one shot, the one where you put your stick in the back and it hit the neck of your stick and bounced off.

You practice that, or was that a little lucky?

But I just want to tell you that the members of this great hockey squad will be very happy to hear based on their vote and my vote, and

in this case, my vote was more important, that I will soon be presenting Connor with our highest civilian honor, which we will be given and which has been given to many athletes over the years.

But when I say many, not too many, like 12.

It's called the highest civilian honor in our country, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

And every single one of them rapidly put up their hand.

What a special job you did, what special champions you are.

One of the primary reasons for our country's stunning economic turnaround, the biggest in history, where the Dow Jones broke 50,000 four years ahead of schedule.

And the S and P hit 7,000 where it wasn't supposed to do it for many years were tariffs.

I used these tariffs, took in hundreds of billions of dollars to make great deals for our country both economically and on a national security basis.

Countries that were ripping us off for decades are now paying us hundreds of billions of dol.

And yet these countries are now happy and so are we.

The deals are all done and they're happy.

They're not making money like they used to, but we're making a lot of money.

There was no inflation, tremendous growth.

And the big story was how Donald Trump called the economy correctly and 22 Nobel Prize winners in economics didn't.

And then just four days ago, an unfortunate ruling from the United States Supreme Court.

But the good news is that almost all countries and corporations want to keep the deal that they already made.

Knowing that the legal power that I as president have to make a new deal could be far worse for them and therefore they will continue to work along the same successful path that we had negotiated before the Supreme Court's unfortunate involvement.

So despite the disappointing ruling, these powerful country saving, it's saving our country the kind of money we're taking in peace.

Protecting many of the wars I settled was because of the threat of tariffs.

I wouldn't have been able to settle them without will remain in place under fully approved and tested alternative legal statutes.

And they have been tested for a long time.

they're actually probably better, leading to a solution that will be even stronger than before.

Congressional action will not be necessary.

And as time goes by, I believe the tariffs paid for by foreign countries will, like in the past, substantially replace the modern day system of income tax, taking a great financial burden off the people that I love.

Even in times of challenge, setback and immense heartache, the spirit of 1776 has always shone through very brightly.

It was July 4th of last year when floodwaters tore through a girls summer camp in central Texas.

I was there rising 26ft in the matter of minutes, tragically claiming many, many lives.

As the waters threatened to Sweep her away 11 year old Millie Kate McClaymond closed her eyes and prayed to God.

Those prayers were answered when Coast Guard rescue swimmer Scott Ruskin descended from a helicopter above.

It was Scott's first ever rescue mission.

A young guy, but very brave, very, very top, always top in his class.

And he lifted not just Billy Kate, but 164 others to Safet.

People watched Scott from a distance and they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

The winds were blowing, the rain was pouring, everything was going.

And that rapid water, nobody's ever seen anything like it.

Tonight, Scott and Millie Kate are here together, reunited for the very first time.

I'm pleased to inform you that I am now awarding you the Legion of Merit for extraordinary heroism.
