I just returned from @Israel where I delivered a keynote speech at the closing ceremony for a historic solidarity visit of 1000 leading American pastors. The purpose was to confront an alarming rise in global antisemitism. Please watch it. I hope our Jewish friends notice the multiple standing ovations, which aren’t so much about my speech but about the support of the audience for what I was saying.
Finally, please pardon the weird mic change at the beginning. There was a minor technical issue and it took just a few seconds for some amazing & super kind tech folks to fix it. So, those blank seconds were edited out.

The happiest people I've met don't necessarily have the easiest lives or the most impressive accomplishments. But they tend to have four things in common:
-They take their faith or life philosophy seriously.
-They invest in their family relationships.
-They cultivate real friendships.
-They find meaning in work that creates value and serves others.
These are the four areas of life worth paying attention to if you want to live a more fulfilling life.
Remember this:
the economy ACTUALLY added in October 100K more jobs than was expected, unemployment continues to fall.
Data is a source of truth.

The United States will not tolerate subversive communist networks in our hemisphere.
The Marxist Cuban regime relies on a web of state-owned enterprises, joint ventures, and offshore intermediaries to keep its systems running, and its foreign backers supply the military equipment that helps sustain the regime’s military forces and enables persistent threats to the American homeland.
Today, I'm sanctioning eight entities and two individuals associated with the regime’s financial and shipping network, state-owned import and technical-support entities, and China-based suppliers of the regime's military forces.

Exactly right
The scale of the Republican defeat is so great that it makes the race for the GOP presidential nomination wide open.
If the administration had won a big victory, Vice President J D Vance would have had an enormous argument to be the inevitable nominee.
Now, with this go-slow strategy blowing up in Iran and his defense of Vivek Ramaswamy's horrible, inhumane ad featuring his opponent's mother attacking her own daughter, a good bit of the luster has come off the bloom.
The number of people who want to draft Secretary of State Marco Rubio is staggering.
In addition, Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, Ron DeSantis, Pete Hegseth, Glenn Youngkin, and a surprising number of people may decide this is their chance to take advantage of the chaos of the shocking defeat and seek to be the champion who can rescue the party and the country.

& no Republican becomes President without a supermajority of evangelical votes & enthusiasm (including Latino evangelicals)
No amount of Democrats crossing over can credibly make up the difference
I've been far less involved in politics these last few years, but for what it's worth, here's my take:
Americans are less & less loyal to any political party. They want problem solvers who can figure out how to work together.
The durability of the new Democratic majorities will come down to one choice: indulge their radical fringe, or work with Republicans to pass sensible legislation on the persistent challenges facing Americans.
It's the oldest test in politics & the hardest to pass.
One path lasts. The other ends badly (again) in 2028.
We keep asking whether AI will think like us. The better question is whether we'll still think at all once it does. Use it to compound your thinking, not to offload it.

Of all the people the DSA could have chosen to host its official election night livestream, it chose Hasan Piker, someone who proudly expresses support for terrorist organizations and traffics in antisemitism.
Let that sink in. The DSA isn't distancing itself from this kind of rhetoric. It's elevating it.

I remember the 1994 midterm elections very well.
Republicans gained 54 House seats and won the majority for the first time in 40 years.
It was a historic political transformation. And almost no one saw it coming.
One lesson I've never forgotten: Don't confuse political predictions with election results.
As we watch the 2026 midterms unfold tonight, I'll be looking for the larger lessons about where America is headed.

Happy to introduce my fellow foreign ministers to the quintessential American sport of football and welcome them to #GatorNation.
Adm. Cooper flew over Hormuz himself this week.
The lanes are clear. The oil is moving. 1.5 billion barrels since summer.
I know it isn't politically correct to say, but it's true: this was a decisive
🇺🇸 American 🇺🇸 victory.
@POTUS acted when action was costly & necessary, & the horizon of the Middle East looks different for it.
History turns on such moments.
There may be more to clean up.
But the turning is done.
