2025 in Review: Faith and the Trump White House

[Music] And President Trump has made restoring faith a cornerstone of his second term. From establishing a White House faith council to taking action to protect persecuted Christians abroad. NTD's Washington correspondent Mariosu takes a closer look. >> My life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to make America great again. 6 months after an assassin's bullet almost took his life, President Trump returned to the White House with a bold mission to restore faith to the heart of American life. He created a White House faith office and religious liberty commission to safeguard religious freedom. >> My mom realized that this man had actually altered their original plan to stop me from wearing a mask that said Jesus loves me. This goal was violating my rights. >> And on the same day as the National Prayer Breakfast, he signed an order to counter what he called anti-Christian bias. Let's bring God back into our lives. >> The president opened his first cabinet meeting in prayer. >> The blessed is a nation whose God is the Lord. Father, thank you for giving us this opportunity to restore faith in this country and be a blessing to the people of America >> and launched the America Praise initiative urging weekly prayer. >> So as we chart our course toward the next 250 years, let us rededicate ourselves to one nation under God. That vision of bringing God back into American life found one of its fiercest advocates and conservative activist Charlie Kirk. >> And let's just say thank you God for giving us Donald Trump and giving our country back. Ladies and gentlemen, you're about to witness history. The 45th and 47th president of the United States >> who President Trump credits with helping secure his return to the White House by getting the youth vote. When Kirk was tragically assassinated in September, President Trump called his murder an attack on our entire nation. September 10th, 2025, our greatest evangelist for American liberty became immortal. He's a martyr now for American freedom, >> awarding him the Medal of Freedom. >> He was assassinated in the prime of his life for boldly speaking the truth, for living his faith and relentlessly fighting for a better and stronger America. He loved this country. Meanwhile, President Trump extended his vow overseas to protect religious liberty worldwide. On Christmas Day, he ordered air strikes against ISIS in Nigeria for their brutal attacks on Christians, an issue that rapper Nicki Minaj had highlighted just days earlier during a surprise appearance at Amfest. While they're in church, people are being kidnapped, people are being killed, brutalized, all because of their religion. And that should spark outrage in the great America. I have the utmost respect and admiration for our president, but he's given so many people hope that there's a chance to beat the bad guys. And as we welcome the new year, the White House's presidential Christmas message reads, "We pray for an outpouring of God's abiding love, divine mercy, and everlasting peace upon our country and the entire world."
