00:00This year, the graduating Alabama class of 2025 has over 6,600 graduates.
00:07You're the largest class in school history.
00:10Among your ranks are among the 800 first-generation college students
00:15and nearly 3,000 students from right here in the great state of Alabama.
00:22Amazing.
00:23And this class also includes many Rhodes Scholars, Goldwater Scholars, 213 Merit Scholars,
00:36and over 1,500 students graduating with red caps.
00:39You know what that signifies?
00:414.0 GPA.
00:43That's a lot of students.
00:46Congratulations as well to the women's track and field team for winning two SEC titles this year.
00:52That's something.
00:54As long...
00:54And as long as I'm president, we will always protect women's sports.
01:01Men will not play in women's sports.
01:04They say that's an 80-20 issue.
01:06No, it's a 97-3 issue, I think.
01:09No, men will not be playing in women's sports.
01:13I already...
01:14I said that and I classified it with a very powerful executive order, as you know.
01:19It's done.
01:19We're here for three months, a little bit more, but give me a break for the first month.
01:23You know, had to get a little acclimated.
01:25Had to see where the enemy lies, because they're already looking to impeach Trump.
01:29You know, these crazy people.
01:30Let's impeach them.
01:31For what?
01:31We don't know exactly, but we'll try...
01:34These people are crazy.
01:36So we had to, you know, get our bearings for the first couple of weeks.
01:39But they have to let us do the job that the voters want us to do.
01:44Judges are interfering, supposedly based on due process.
01:49But how can you give due process to people who came into our country illegally?
01:53They want to give them due process.
01:55I don't know.
01:57You learned a lot about winning here in Alabama.
02:00And now we need you to help win for America.
02:05For the business majors here today, I challenge you not merely to use your talents for financial
02:12speculation, but to apply your great skills that you've learned and had to forging the
02:19steel and pouring the concrete of new American factories, plants, shipyards, and even cities,
02:24which are going up all over our country.
02:27Don't just build a strong portfolio.
02:30Build a very, very strong America.
02:32And you're going to do that.
02:40To the engineers, brilliant you are, technicians, scientists, and math majors,
02:46engineers, we need your Alabama spirit and competition to keep our country at the forefront
02:52of every single domain.
02:55America should have the world's tallest buildings, design the fastest airplanes, build the greatest
03:01cars, do everything the absolute best, better than any other nation in the world.
03:06And you can do it.
03:07And we will soon land American astronauts on Mars.
03:10That will happen.
03:11That will happen.
03:12In every field you have studied, there are problems to be solved and breakthroughs to be
03:24made.
03:25To the journalism majors, of which I've had a lot of problems with.
03:31I must be honest.
03:32I'm not sure I like them.
03:33No, I do.
03:34I do.
03:34But you're really leading a very thing because we need a great and free press.
03:40We need a brilliant press.
03:41They're like a watchkeeper.
03:43They're very important.
03:44And you can go out and take it down a new track.
03:47Help save the country.
03:50So to everyone here today, don't waste your youth.
03:53Go out and fight right from the beginning, from the day you leave this incredible university.
03:58Go out and fight.
03:59Fight tough.
04:00Fight fair.
04:01But go out and fight.
04:02You're going to be very successful because now is the time to work harder than you have
04:06ever worked before.
04:08Push yourself further than you have ever pushed yourself before.
04:12Find your limits and then smash through everything.
04:16Go and smash through.
04:18You've watched that football team smash through.
04:20You're going to do the same thing.
04:32Go and smash through.
04:46You
