00:00U.S. President Donald Trump delivered the longest ever State of the Union speech on Tuesday
00:05as he defended his administration's increasingly unpopular policies.
00:10Underwater in opinion polls, Trump fears his Republican Party will lose control over Congress in the November midterm elections.
00:18He championed his immigration crackdowns and his push to preserve widespread tariffs that the Supreme Court's just struck down.
00:26Very unfortunate ruling.
00:30But the good news is that almost all countries and corporations want to keep the deal that they already made.
00:39Right, Scott?
00:40Knowing that the legal power that I as president have to make a new deal could be far worse for
00:47them
00:47and therefore they will continue to work along the same successful path that we had negotiated before the Supreme Court's
00:56unfortunate involvement.
00:58Trump also attacked his political opponents in the Democratic Party, who sometimes heckled him during the speech.
01:05Speaking on foreign policy, he praised the raid that ousted President Maduro in Venezuela
01:10and recounted U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear capabilities and ongoing talks.
01:28Trump tried at points to appeal to bipartisan patriotic sentiments, introducing a series of surprise guests that included U.S.
01:36military heroes,
01:36a former political prisoner released in Venezuela, and the Olympic gold medal-winning U.S. men's hockey team.
