Pratique du Shadowing: President Trump delivers remarks from White House Rose Garden - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo

Let's go ahead and listen in live.

It's Donald J.

Trump.

Well, thank you very much.

What a nice setting this is.

This is something we spent a lot of time and effort making the, bringing the White House back to a level that it should be at,

for essentially 200 years.

No work was done on it.

It lived on its own merit, but we thought it was proper.

If you look at the exterior, you'll see it's all been redone and in perfect shape.

It's good for another 200 years, okay?

That's the way I look at it.

But very important such a symbol, such a representative symbol of us, of what we stand for.

And we're very proud to have done it.

We're building outside.

We're building a beautiful heliport, which has been asked for for many, many years.

A helicopter would land on wet grass, and it was bad and dangerous.

And as you know, over there, we're building a military complex and a ballroom that will be second to none anywhere in the world.

We have President Xi coming in two weeks, and I was over in China two months ago, and we saw the Great Hall of China.

Well, now we're going to have a Great Hall, too, in the United States, so it's very important, very, very important.

And I want to thank you all and welcome you to the White House as we celebrate back-to-school season in America.

It's a big deal.

We're delighted to be joined by many incredible parents, devoted teachers, exceptional educators, and star students from all across the nation.

In fact, we have so many star students.

I want to make offers to some of you to come and join us as soon as you get out of college, because we want stars.

We want smart people.

We like smart people.

Some people say, oh, that's nice to say.

No, we want smart people.

I want to thank our great Secretary of Education, a fantastic woman, by the way, my friend and all of that, but she's a fantastic woman.

Nobody like her.

Linda McMahon, Nebraska Governor Jim Pillan.

Jim, thank you very much.

Thank you.

Look good.

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Thank you.

Thank you, Sarah.

Chairman of the House Education Committee, Tim Walberg.

Thank you very much, Tim.

Good job.

And our press secretary, mother of two.

And well, she decided she loved her children more than she loved Donald Trump.

I'm very upset about this.

She has to go home and spend time with her children.

That does happen on occasion with some people, when they love their children, and she does.

And Caroline, congratulations on your newborn, your perfect newborn.

And she's done a fantastic job.

She's been a great, great press secretary.

Now, if I say you're the best of all time, I have Sarah sitting here, so I'll have.

But let's put it this way.

They were both great.

OK, is that all right?

But from the very beginning of our country, Americans have understood that there's no job more important than teaching our children to become happy,

healthy, proud, productive, and flourishing citizens.

And unfortunately, in the four years I took office and since I took office, our educational system itself was really,

I mean, it was incredibly, before I got here, it was weaponized like everything else in our government.

Everything was weaponized against the goals that we all stand for.

But under the last administration, extreme ideologies such as critical race theory

and transgender insanity were forced upon our children as young as four and five years old.

Transgender didn't work.

Students were taught that our heroes, our villains, the FBI was used to target patriotic parents at school board meetings.

And meanwhile, far too many government run schools failed at the basics.

And you just have to look at the charts.

They were failing at a thing called education.

With only 30% of the students in reading and math.

That was under the last administration.

Under the Trump administration, we're systematically ending every single one of these radical left betrayals

and we're putting the parents back in charge.

They're the ones that love our children.

They're the ones that should be in charge.

So immediately upon taking office, I signed an executive order to ban critical race theory and to ban transgender ideology from public schools.

That was a big deal.

We banned men from playing in women's sports.

That was so easy to do.

I don't get it.

They're still arguing.

They're still fighting.

I saw a Democrat congressman the other day fighting an anchor, an anchor that was, I would say somewhere in the middle,

but fighting an anchor on men playing in women's sports.

And I said, I hope they keep doing that because it's got to be impossible to win a race politically.

Just crazy.

I've never seen anything like it.

But it continues out there, although we've had big court victories, as you know, and we've largely stopped it.

Every public school in America is now on notice that if they tell a child that they're trapped in the wrong body, they are committing child abuse.

And as we remove the far-left extremism from the classroom,

we're taking historic action to ensure that every child in America has access to a first-class education.

The United States spends more money on education than any other country in the world by double, and our results should be better than they are.

I would look at lists where we're rated out of the 40 top nations, we're rated number 38, 39, and number 40 with all the money we spent.

But Linda has changed that so rapidly and so drastically

and frankly it's shocking how fast it's gone under her leadership

one year ago as part of the great big beautiful bill

we passed the education freedom tax credit the largest ever expansion of school choice

and we want thank you

and we want every parent to have the power to send their child to to a high-quality school that shares their values. So important.

With us today are Caleb and Jocelyn Griffith and their beautiful family from Statesville, North Carolina.

Great place.

They've three biological sons and two foster children.

School choice and education freedom scholarships are going to give these kids more opportunity than ever before.

100

And I'd like to ask Caleb and Jocelyn to come up and say a few words, please.

101

How are you?

102

Nice to see you.

103

Thank you, President.

104

Nice as my lovely family.

105

Mr. President, thank you for the honor of speaking today.

106

I'm Pastor Caleb Griffith, and I'm joined by my five beautiful children.

107

As President Trump said, two of them came to us through foster care, wonderful but my children two or one of them has autism

108

and one has developmental delays and although they qualify for an IEP

109

because of the situation they were unable to get them

110

so we've been unable to access the support

111

and help they need to be successful

112

and we're blessed to be from a state that offers school choice

113

and it has helped part of our children's educational needs I

114

personally have seen the benefit of the opportunity scholarship for my family and the school my children attend,

115

Cornerstone Christian Academy, who is up for running for the Yaz Prize.

116

But it's thanks to great organizations like Parents for Educational Freedom, who have helped 105,000 families just like mine access the Opportunity Scholarship.

117

And now because of you, Mr. President, and because of you, Secretary McMahon, the Educational Freedom Tax Credits will give my children the access

118

to the services they need to be successful in the most formational years of their lives.

119

I want to tell you we only get one chance to educate our children and our children are the future of America.

120

The Bible says to train up a child in the way

121

that they should go and that's to parents and this allows parents to do that.

122

So on behalf of my family and every family in America that will access this, thank you President Trump and God bless America.

123

What a great job.

124

Beautiful, beautiful family.

125

Whoop.

126

He made it.

127

Well, as many of you know, no one cares more about America's children and foster youth than our great first lady.

128

She works hard at it and loves it and loves the children.

129

Through her fostering the Future Initiative, Melania is helping transform the lives of children

130

and young people aging out of the foster care system

131

and she's bringing hope and countless and you have to see

132

so many people so many phone calls so much work

133

but really bringing hope to countless family numbers of families

134

and children and it's really something to see it's

135

so difficult they go through foster care

136

and then all of a sudden they're released into the world

137

and you know many people have something to fall back on

138

but they don't they can't go back to their parents for a little help

139

or for staying overnight or for staying for years in some cases.

140

And it's a very, very tough.

141

So I want to thank Melania.

142

She takes it so seriously.

143

She's done such a great job.

144

It's been so effective.

145

Thank you.

146

And as part of the Great Big Beautiful Bill, we have massively expanded 529 education saving accounts tremendously,

147

doubling the annual withdrawal cap from K-12 expenses to $20,000 a year

148

and allowing families to save the education and money for education at the private or religious school of your choice.

149

So that's something that never happened before.

150

Nobody could even think about doing it.

151

They can't believe it's happened now.

152

And it's largely Linda and her representatives that have done this.

153

And now for the first time ever, families can also have their 529 accounts to support home school education.

154

And then, thank you.

155

And then one of the biggest things of all is what's happened with the Trump accounts, where kids will have money.

156

I mean, every child is given at birth, newborn, $1,000.

157

you're going to watch that money grow.

158

People like Michael and Susan Dell have put up a tremendous amount of money, over $6 billion.

159

But we have many people, some people have taken on an entire state like the state of Indiana by a very, very fantastic friend of mine.

160

Brad, thank you very much.

161

And some very wealthy people and very wealthy companies are putting up tremendous amounts of money.

162

The Trump accounts is being talked about all over the world.

163

It's very good and very hot.

164

Joining us today, Marina and Hubert from Jacksonville, Florida.

165

They've been homeschooling their three children for 11 years and will benefit enormously from the new policy.

166

The amount of money they're getting is something that they can very much use, and it's something that wouldn't have happened without the Trump administration.

167

So, Marina and Hubert, please Please come up and say a few words.

168

Thank you very much.

169

Thank you.

170

Mr. President, thank you so much for this opportunity to be here.

171

I have with me my beautiful family, my wife, Marina.

172

We homeschool our three kids.

173

We've been homeschooling for the last decade.

174

My oldest son is going into ninth grade, my daughter going into sixth, and my youngest son is going into third grade.

175

Homeschooling is something that is very personal to me.

176

Back in 1988, my parents made the decision to homeschool me.

177

And so I was homeschooled from kindergarten all the way through the 12th grade.

178

And I've been blessed with the opportunity to do the same for my family.

179

Back in 1988, homeschooling wasn't popular.

180

And there was not, I don't think, a president who was supporting us.

181

At this time, to see your administration and all that you've done for homeschooling families not only means the world to me, but to also all the other homeschooling families that are out there.

182

With the great big beautiful bill, the expansion of 529, oftentimes with homeschooling or one income households because I'm working and my wife is schooling the kids.

183

So being able to have the extra resources to provide them with their needs

184

and also the option to support our children in the way that we see fit means the world.

185

So I just want to thank you for everything that you've done.

186

Great parents.

187

You have great parents.

188

Thank you so much.

189

Thank you very much.

190

It's beautiful.

191

Beautiful family.

192

Thank you.

193

Well, I'm very proud to say

194

that the Trump administration has achieved more for the benefit of

195

American children in less than two years than most administrations do in many years.

196

Eight years are, frankly, you can take two or three administrations, put them together.

197

They haven't been able to do what we did.

198

After decades of racist policies and illegal quotas, we brought back the merit system into education back on the merit system,

199

which is what made our country great in the first place, so that our children will always be judged by the achievements and qualifications,

200

not by the color of their skin or any other reason.

201

We issued a guidance for protecting the right to prayer, and we now protect prayer in the public schools.

202

They're totally protected.

203

And last year, I signed a historic executive order to begin the process of eliminating the federal Department of Education,

204

getting them out of Washington and bringing education back to the states, the most important thing.

205

And working with me on the Council on Physical Fitness, we've proudly brought back a wonderful tradition, the Presidential Fitness Test.

206

I signed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, which people loved and the farmers love it because they know how good it is more than anybody.

207

But the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, they weren't allowed to have whole milk, if you can believe it.

208

They could have anything else, but they couldn't have great milk the way it is supposed to be, paving the way for more than 30 million children who drink whole milk in school.

209

And we introduced the real food pyramid and reformed the vaccine recommendations to protect America's youth.

210

We're making America healthy again.

211

we're strongly requesting even telling people when you get your shots for your young child

212

and this has to do we think with preventing autism

213

that you go to the doctor for five small shots instead

214

of one big massive shot you do it in five different

215

shots five different shots small little shots where those beautiful little bodies can handle it

216

and I think you're going to see a very big difference in the rate of autism, which is like an epidemic, what's happened with autism.

217

And this year, as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of America's founding,

218

we're also bringing back patriotic education for our youth through the Freedom 250 Mobile Museum.

219

Students from over 3,750 schools are learning about the heroes who have made America the most exceptional nation in history.

220

And we're teaching our children to love America, not to hate America.

221

There's a lot of love going on right now.

222

Our country's never done this well.

223

We have billions and billions of different things happening, money pouring in at the rate of not even billions, trillions.

224

Over $19 trillion being invested in America right now.

225

The last administration had less than $1 trillion in four years.

226

We had 19, more than 19, 19.2 to be exact, and that's over a period of 12 months.

227

We haven't even included the additional five months.

228

So there's never been anything like that in history.

229

No other country in the world has ever had investment like we're having right now being made, which is building factories, car plants,

230

everything, all over, AI, all over the country at levels that nobody's ever seen before.

231

No other country has ever seen what's happened.

232

It's a revolution, a positive revolution.

233

So in everything we do, we're empowering our nation's parents.

234

We're restoring high standards in the pursuit of excellence.

235

And we're proving that the golden age of America education is just beginning.

236

And I want to thank you all for being here.

237

You're incredible people.

238

I know so many of you in the audience, but one in particular who's just an outstanding person and incredible woman,

239

Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon.

240

Please come up, Linda.

241

Thank you.

242

Linda McMahon, Director of Education, Linda McMahon, Director of Education, Linda McMahon.

243

We'll get it down to my speed, which is always the case when I come up to the microphone, We have to adjust it.

244

Thank you, Mr. President, for assembling this incredible event this afternoon, because nothing is more important in our country than educating our students.

245

Parents, educators, and students, happy back to school season.

246

This school year marks a return to common sense in American education, and it's all thanks to the leadership of our president, President Trump.

247

I remember when President Trump called me shortly after the Biden's administration 2024 Nations Report Card, or NAEP, as you've heard,

248

scores were released, and he told me he was angry and he was also embarrassed by where these scores were.

249

We spoke about what a travesty it is

250

that Americans have invested three trillion dollars in a federal Department of Education meant to improve student outcomes

251

and yet only 30% of our students can read or do math proficiently.

252

This is why President Trump demanded a hard reset to our education system and under his leadership we are are delivering it.

253

We are taking very deliberate and thoughtful steps to return education to the states.

254

This school year American parents and students have

255

so much to be excited about because the Trump administration is steering education back to its rightful focus,

256

serving students so that they are prepared for successful futures.

257

Our administration has cut billions in funding for radical DEI programs and redirected those dollars to teachers,

258

classrooms and results, supporting evidence-based literacy instruction, pouring record funding into charter schools and energizing workforce training.

259

Key decisions that once sat with bureaucrats here in Washington, D.C are moving to where they belong, to the hands of educators,

260

parents and local leaders who know these children best.

261

These states now hold the first ever returning education to the state waivers, freeing over $100 million from federal micromanagement.

262

These waivers allow state leaders to direct federal dollars towards what makes the most sense for their students

263

and not what Washington thinks is best for those students.

264

Additionally, a record 25 states are exercising edflex authority, which allows them to immediately free thousands of local school districts

265

from mountains of red tape without first having to receive approval from the Department of Education.

266

And under President Trump's leadership, we are restoring parents' sacred role as the first decision makers in their children's lives.

267

Children belong to their parents, not the federal government.

268

And through the Education Freedom Tax Credit,

269

President Trump has delivered the largest national expansion of education freedom in history for over 50 million eligible children,

270

giving parents unprecedented freedom to choose the path that is best for their child.

271

So it's no surprise that over half of our nation's states, both red and blue, have raced to this historic choice option,

272

benefiting families whether their child attends public or private school.

273

Parents can also rest assured that wherever their child goes to school,

274

this administration is vigorously protecting their right to know what's happening inside those walls.

275

After the Biden administration allowed schools to secretly transition students without parents' knowledge,

276

President Trump is defending parental rights like never before.

277

At his direction, we are working hand-in-hand with the Department of Justice to ensure

278

no school district ever has more power over a child than their own parents.

279

Thank you.

280

We've exposed states like California for some of the most widespread offenses and put schools on notice.

281

If they subject children to radical experiments and sideline parents, they will lose their federal funding.

282

Never before have parental rights been enforced at this scale, and parents are back in the driver's seats where they rightfully belong.

283

Across every facet of education, these reforms are truly driving the progress that many promised, but only President Trump has delivered.

284

We are breaking the grip of the education monopoly in D.C

285

and putting the future of our children back into the hands of those who know them,

286

love them, and are best positioned to help them reach their God-given potential.

287

We will remember this as a turning point in our country where, thanks to President Trump's leadership,

288

American education began to reclaim its place as the very best in the world.

289

Thank you all and have a great and wonderful school year.

290

Thank you sir.

291

Nice to see you.

292

Thank you.

293

Well thank you very much.

294

Now I don't know if anybody wants to do this

295

but I'm going to be walking down here in about two minutes to meet with the people

296

that are building the heliport

297

and you'll see right alongside of it the great structure that's rising right next to the White House

298

and that's It's going to be the ballroom slash military complex.

299

It's incredible.

300

Now, if anybody would like to walk with me, I don't know if Linda is going to have any big events happening now.

301

I don't think so.

302

But if you'd like to follow me, especially with the kids, the kids could see construction.

303

I love the sound of construction.

304

When I hear all that banging out there, some people say, oh, that's too bad.

305

And I say, I love it.

306

So if anybody would like to follow me, it'll be a large group but it's a large pad, and you'll be able to see some very hard-working people.

307

They're working hard, and they're making a lot of money, and they're doing something great for America, and they've needed a heliport for many years here, and we're getting it all done.

308

We're doing all the things that should have been done for years.

309

So if you want to follow me with the children, I think it'll be very interesting.

310

You'll bring your nice family, okay?

311

Follow me.

312

We'll come up here, and we'll walk down.

313

Good.

314

Thank you.

315

Thank you.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
