[3:42] together what's happening you believe that since they started hitting us a little bit right they've
[4:02] gone down that was a long that was a long fall but there they are to stand in the house chamber
[4:13] to deliver the state of the union spoke to come to choose greatness for america since taking office
[4:34] two years ago our economy is now the hottest economy anywhere on earth it's desperately
[4:49] needed funding we went 700 billion and 716 billion is more situation was were not taken care of now
[5:14] they're taken care of again the way they should be america is winning again isn't that nice we're
[5:31] fighting for all of us from all backgrounds of every age race religion birthplace color creed
[5:39] we're fighting for ourselves we're fighting for all americans and what is it america
[5:45] first remember it's american agenda although some people say it is once in a while it does become
[6:18] that way right it's a mainstream common sense agenda of the american people it's where we want to be
[6:27] and where we want to go despite the fact that the media refuses to acknowledge what we've done
[6:43] and how well we're doing it just came out as i was coming on and it shows i don't know how you can
[6:58] do this i don't think i've had a good story in years i don't get good i used to get great press
[7:04] until i decided to run for office and we have done together an incredible job at a new poll just came
[7:14] out today rasputin one of the most respected polls one of the polls that got the election right
[7:20] so i have to remember that you know what the number is 52 percent would explain that you get
[7:40] that when you don't get good press i guess 93 percent of the stories are negative no matter what
[7:46] we do they figure out a way to make it there give you a quick example when i came in north korea was
[7:57] it was looks like it was going to war you know that it was going to happen bad things now
[8:03] you have no missile launches you have no rocket testing you have no nuclear testing i have a good
[8:08] relationship maybe even a great relationship we have tremendous sanctions on north korea
[8:15] but we have our hostages back we have remains are coming back and our residents have been dealing with
[8:32] north korea for many many decades many many decades and on a nuclear way over the last 20 30 years
[8:40] and all i hear is can't you move faster you know when i left singapore
[8:46] 15 months ago they've been negotiating for 85 years or something so now their complaint is
[8:54] what's taking them so long i heard one of our great geniuses uh from a previous administration
[9:02] telling me how to negotiate with north korea when they got taken advantage of like nobody i've ever seen
[9:09] before so someday with all of us this is all of us and those hats are beautiful by the way
[9:16] someday someday they're going to appreciate us all and i'm going to vietnam
[9:31] to hanoi in the near future 27th and 28th of february to have another summit and hope we hopefully
[9:40] we do as well with the second summit as we did with the first i hope so we're delighted and i'm delighted
[9:55] to be joined this evening by the texas leaders you have great leaders great people great
[10:01] help to me that are the forefront of this incredible american revolution you know there's
[10:11] never been anything like this in the history of our country we have to understand that
[10:14] there's never been i would say as an example that tonight 69 000 people signed up to be here now
[10:25] the arena holds 8 000 and thank you fire department they got in about 10 thank you fire department
[10:31] but if you want to really see something go outside tens of thousands of people are watching screens
[10:45] outside and we were all challenged by a young man who lost an election to ted cruz
[10:57] then they said you know what hey you're supposed to win in order to run by the way we i we i'm one
[11:15] and one i'm one for one think of it we had one election we won now we're going to be two for all
[11:21] and everything's going to be perfect but a young man who's got very little going for himself except
[11:36] he's got a great first name he is he challenged us so we have let's say 35 000 people tonight and he
[11:48] has 200 people 300 people not too good in fact what i do what i would do is i would say that may be
[12:02] the end of his presidential bid but he did challenge it i want to introduce some great people

[15:43] almost 900 million dollars that was like on two phone calls i said i said why didn't they do this
[15:53] before they said nobody ever asked nobody has you pick up almost 500 million dollars a year nobody has
[16:01] we're defending rich countries they've got to help us out folks they got to help us out sorry and you
[16:10] know what they're going to like us more and maybe more importantly they're going to respect us
[16:15] since the election we have created 5.3 million new jobs including more than a half a million new
[16:26] manufacturing jobs remember manufacturing was dead they said manufacturing was dead previous
[16:37] administration you'll never have it you need the magic wand that's what they said we obviously we
[16:44] found the magic wand and by the way those numbers are small compared to what's happening compared to all
[16:50] of the companies that are moving in the honor thank you very much the unemployment rates for
[17:52] african-americans hispanic americans and asian americans have reached the lowest level in the
[17:59] history of our country okay thank you thank you you all right everything okay please okay thank you
[18:52] thank you and women have filled almost 60 percent of the new jobs created last year which were a record
[19:03] number we passed massive tax cuts for working families and we canceled a record number of job
[19:14] killing regulations that's why your oil and gas is coming back we eliminated the obamacare individual
[19:26] mandate and to give critically ill patients access to life saving treatments we did something that they
[19:41] haven't been able to do for a long time we passed right to try right to try that's an incredible thing
[19:53] right to try you know we have the greatest doctors and research in the world and if somebody was
[19:58] terminally ill they'd travel to asia they'd travel to europe they'd travel all over the world if they had
[20:03] the money if they didn't have the money they'd just go home there was nothing they could do and i said
[20:08] wait a minute we have drugs in the pipeline that are showing tremendous progress if somebody is
[20:13] terminally ill let's let them have access to our drugs it's much tougher than you would think but we got it
[20:28] and people you will not understand nobody understand the life-saving effects it's incredible what's going
[20:36] on they are getting better people are getting better that we're thinking they were going to die
[20:42] it's right to try i love it i always wondered why we didn't do it before now the people in texas won't
[20:56] care much about this but the united states is now the number one producer of oil and natural gas
[21:03] on earth i didn't think you'd care about that i didn't think texas would care about that
[21:18] and listen to this and texas oil production is now at the highest level it's ever been
[21:26] for the great oil professionals in the room we're getting those pipelines approved so fast
[21:41] you'll be able to practically double up on oil production oil and gas they're getting approved
[21:50] at record levels and record time that means more money more security
[21:56] and more independence for our country it's very simple they said could never get passed they've
[22:05] been trying to do it for 40 years we passed va choice veterans choice so that now rather than
[22:19] waiting online for five days for nine days for three weeks these people come from where do they come
[23:17] from they go back home to mommy they get punished when they get home now you really mean finish that
[23:57] wall because we've built a lot of them but before we get to the wall so va accountability and va choice
[24:10] accountability we couldn't fire anybody from the veterans administration we couldn't fire anybody
[24:16] they could treat our veterans badly we had to take it now you get rid of them and va choice they'd wait
[24:23] online for days and weeks they couldn't see a doctor now they go out they have a choice they get a
[24:31] private doctor they have things taken care of and we pay their bill they've been trying to get those
[24:41] two things fixed for many many decades many years and we got it fixed we also passed the farm bill
[24:49] for our wonderful farmers ranchers and growers we just got it passed and that wasn't easy but we got
[25:01] it passed we had to do it our farmers are great so we just got that done farmers ranchers growers
[25:08] and we passed historic legislation to combat the opioid crisis is there any place that's more fun to be
[26:14] than a trump rally is there you know they all said mr president we loved the tone of your state of the
[26:44] union speech some people said it was a great speech some people said really a great speech i said but
[26:57] if i ever did that in el paso texas uh it wouldn't work here too well do you agree nice and calm no that's
[27:08] not what you're looking for this is more fun this is and we just signed groundbreaking criminal justice
[27:24] reform into law nobody thought that was going to be happening in my address last week i asked lawmakers
[27:35] in both parties to cross the aisle and join together for the common good for all americans
[27:41] democrats have to stop being so angry they're angry they've got to start being partners to keep this
[27:58] incredible really look is this an incredible miracle that's going on we want to keep it going keep it
[28:06] going and it will keep going it will keep going there's so much to celebrate in our country the economy
[28:16] the military so many things we've done scientifically the world is trying to copy what we've done
[28:23] they're not going to be able to do it not anymore they were catching up fast now they're going in the
[28:29] wrong direction unfortunately many of the democrats in congress responded to my call for bipartisan
[28:40] cooperation by instead choosing really hey look did you ever see anything radical resistance it's the
[28:50] radical left but maybe it'll change maybe it'll change it all has to do with 2020 and the election
[28:59] but i really don't like their policy of taking away your car of taking away your airplane flights
[29:06] of let's hop a train to california you're not always anymore you know a lot of problems but nobody's
[29:20] ever had this and by the way with us we handle it no president should ever have to go through
[29:28] what we've gone through in the first two years it's a hoax it's a disgrace and it should never
[29:35] again just recently as an example senator richard burr from the great state of north carolina he's
[29:52] chairman of the senate intelligence committee and they've been investigating this russia hoax for two
[29:59] years think of it people they've studied hundreds of thousands of documents and pages and richard just
[30:14] announced that they found no collusion between donald trump russia the fact is that the real collusion
[30:34] was between hillary and the democrats and the other side with russia that's where the collusion is
[30:42] that's starting to make a lot more sense but that's where the collusion is with the democrats and
[31:06] with russia and with others and by the way there's also collusion between the democrats and the fake
[31:12] news right here many democrats are focused on tearing down their opposition instead of building up our
[31:39] country they're trying to impose some of the most extreme measures and policies ever put forward by our
[31:50] congress and by the way i don't think anybody in this room wants to pay 70 80 90 and 95 percent tax
[31:57] does anybody want to pay a 90 you know you look at what we've done with jobs what we've done with the
[32:06] economy how low your taxes are the lowest they've been almost from the beginning who the hell wants to
[32:13] change what we're doing now we are a hot hot country last week they introduced a massive government
[32:22] takeover that would destroy our incredible economic gains they introduced the so-called green new deal
[32:39] it sounds like a high school term paper that got a low mark it would shut down american energy which i
[32:48] don't think the people in texas are going to be happy with that it shut down a little thing called air
[32:57] travel how do you take a train to europe you know this this crazy senator from hawaii they said do you like
[33:09] it yes i like it very much oh really how are we getting to hawaii on a train she didn't think about
[33:15] that one but she's thinking about it she'll figure it out they want to take away your car reduce the
[33:22] value of your home and put millions of americans out of work spend a hundred trillion dollars which by
[33:30] the way there's no such thing as a hundred you have to spend a hundred trillion dollars and remember
[33:36] this no other country except us is going to do it that's a little problem too while the world like
[33:46] china would get many of our companies and factories they just move into china move into other parts of
[33:54] the world that's the way the system works not going to happen folks don't worry it's not going to happen
[34:00] a hundred trillion let's rip down every building in new york city and rebuild it environmentally slightly
[34:15] better to pay for socialism democrats are calling for massive tax hikes and the complete elimination
[34:25] of private health care many of us have private health care that means you can stand online for
[34:31] five days as you wait for a doctor that is not nearly as talented as your doctor remember you can keep
[34:38] your doctor remember that 28 times turned out to be a lie hey where are the fact checkers you know
[34:47] some of the most dishonest people in media are the so-called fact checkers 28 times you can keep
[34:59] your doctor that didn't turn out to be what he said they're coming for your money and they're coming
[35:06] for your freedom and it'll never happen and it won't even come close folks democrats are also pushing
[35:17] extreme late-term abortion children to be ripped from their mother's womb right up until the moment of
[35:33] birth what's that all about so in virginia the governor he's uh got a little publicity lately
[35:46] i like him keeps us out of the papers i like i'd like to find a few more guys like this one he almost
[35:53] moonwalked his wife stopped him darling darling it would be inappropriate i want to see somebody
[35:59] try and imitate michael jackson in the moonwalk this would not have been a good scene his wife saved him
[36:07] darn this would be inappropriate i think she was right but the governor stated that he would even
[36:16] allow a newborn baby to come out into the world and wrap the baby and make the baby comfortable and
[36:27] then talk to the mother and talk to the father and then execute the baby execute millions of innocent
[36:45] beautiful babies are counting on us to protect them and we will that is why last week i called
[36:56] on congress with your great congressman over there thank you fellas to immediately pass legislation
[37:06] prohibiting extreme late-term abortion and that certainly is extreme many people never even heard
[37:20] i mean did you ever hear of anything like this democrats must also address the double standard
[37:28] on full display in virginia by the way that state's going to go republican pretty soon i'm pretty sure
[37:35] because the democrat party has never been more outside of the mainstream they're becoming the party
[37:50] of socialism late-term abortion open borders and crime weekend some democrats even proposed
[38:03] a measure that would force the release of thousands of criminal illegal aliens including dangerous
[38:12] felons convicted of rape sex trafficking violent assault and even murder into our country can you
[38:20] believe this their proposal would put on the number of illegal aliens that are brave ice officers we love
[38:32] our ice officers detained and thus removed forcing thousands of criminals to be set free
[38:47] into united states communities i don't think so okay i don't think so and i want to thank our ice
[38:54] officers what they put up with is incredible and that includes border patrol and includes law enforcement
[39:06] law enforcement we love them they keep us safe in the last two years alone ice officers have made 200 listen
[39:14] to these numbers 266 000 arrests of criminal aliens including those charged or convicted of approximately 100 000 assaults
[39:27] 40 000 40 40 40 000 larcenies 30 000 sex crimes 25 000 burglars 12 000 vehicle thefts 11 000 robberies
[39:41] force and kidnappings and 4 000 murders murders murders killings murders if we cut detention space
[40:07] we are cutting loose dangerous criminals into our country slashing ice detention is the first step of
[40:15] many for the far left i call them the radical left we will never abolish ice they want to abolish ice
[40:24] we're never going to abolish ice so let me state very clearly to those pushing
[40:31] this ridiculous and radical agenda i will never sign a bill that forces the mass release of violent
[40:39] criminals into our country we'll now mistreat our great heroes from ice and border patrol and law enforcement
[40:59] we stand with those brave men and women we'll always be with them we're going to take care of them
[41:12] just like they take care of us remember that remember that i have to tell you as i was walking up to
[41:23] the stage they said that progress is being made with this committee just so you know we're building
[41:33] the wall anyway they say that progress has been made just now i said wait a minute i got to take care of
[41:48] my people from texas i got to go i don't even want to hear about it so i don't know what they mean
[41:59] progress is being made significant now what did happen is the democrats were being hit really hard
[42:05] on the concept of releasing criminals into our society that has not been playing well so maybe
[42:12] progress is made maybe not but i had a choice i could have stayed out there and listened or i could
[42:17] have come out to the people of el paso and texas i chose you i chose you so we probably have some good
[42:59] news but who knows who knows well we're we're setting the stage folks you know what it's called
[43:05] right it's called we're setting the stage we're setting the table we're doing whatever we have to
[43:10] do the wall's being built it'll continue it's going at a rapid pace the rio grande it's happening
[43:17] go check it out we proudly welcome those who come lawfully and support our values in the united states
[43:29] and they want to strengthen our society and help us with all of the companies moving into the united
[43:36] states moving back they left us now they're moving back many of them in some cases maybe all of them
[43:43] but they all want to come back because the united states is where the action is very simple action is
[44:12] and it is we're most proud of the fact you look at the car companies they're moving back they're going
[44:18] into michigan they're going into pennsylvania they're going back to ohio so many companies are coming
[44:25] back and by the way that's why i want people to come in to our country but they have to come in legally
[44:32] and they have to come in through merit through merit so they can help us build our country make america
[44:40] great again pretty soon we're going to be singing keep america great keep america great pretty soon
[44:54] congressman keep america great we'll have to switch over tell me tell me campaign sort of started because
[45:01] you have these people that nobody ever heard of they're all running for office i said who is that
[45:05] well that person was a mayor of a city that was defeated well how about beto beto was defeated too
[45:13] right but he suffered a great defeat watch what the news does tomorrow though they won't mention
[45:22] the disparity they won't mention the disparity tomorrow they'll say beto o'rourke that's his last
[45:30] name right o'rourke beto o'rourke had a wonderful rally of about 15 people when they get honest when the
[45:44] media starts becoming honest and maybe they will because we've done something that's never been done
[45:51] before we have suffered a totally dishonest media and we've won and it's driving them crazy driving
[46:04] them crazy it's driving them crazy but look at them they still come i've never seen anything
[46:16] immigration hurts all americans including millions of legal immigrants by driving down wages
[46:30] draining public resources and claiming countless innocent lives you see what's going on folks you know
[46:36] what's going on they give you all of these phony stats say oh it's the same it's just not the same
[46:42] it's a bad situation going on and we've stopped it we are taking out thousands and thousands of people
[46:49] from ms13 we're bringing them to hell out of our country thousands but if we had proper border security
[46:59] including a very powerful wall we wouldn't have to work so hard and it would be a lot safer and a lot
[47:06] better my administration is committed to ending illegal immigration while modernizing our legal
[47:14] immigration system which has been in terrible shape for many many decades to prioritize
[47:21] the admission of those who can support themselves financially and contribute to our economy people
[47:29] that come in on merit instead of random lotteries and chain migration chain migration that's another
[47:47] beauty we want a merit-based system for entry this will improve living conditions for all americans
[47:56] living here today both immigrant and u.s born everybody's going to be happy and we need the people to
[48:03] take care of these companies that are moving our unemployment rate real unemployment 3.6 3.7 and
[48:14] going down had a little blip because of a thing called the shutdown but remember this went up to four
[48:24] i said boy that's you know how low forest you know anybody else any other president would have said please
[48:28] give me four please we had a little blip went up from three seven to four just quickly but you know what
[48:36] if we didn't do that shutdown we would not have been able to show this country these politicians the
[48:43] world what the hell is happening with the border that was a very important thing we did and the fact is
[48:59] illegal immigration is a heartbreaking human tragedy one in three women is sexually assaulted on the very
[49:08] long and dangerous journey north up to our country sex traffickers these are the worst human beings on
[49:17] earth exploit our poorest border to sell young girls and women into modern day slavery you wouldn't even
[49:25] know that nobody knows that and by the way do you think they come in through the ports of entry
[49:30] i listen to the democrats let me be nice just say the democrats i won't be specific and they say oh
[49:37] everything comes through the port they don't do that they drive where there's no barrier no wall
[49:43] they make a left congratulations you're in the united states that's all if you have three women tied
[49:50] up in the back seat of a car you're not going through folks a port of entry where they do look in the
[49:56] back seat at least right drugs pouring through the border kills tens of thousands of innocent americans a
[50:05] year including heroin meth cocaine fentanyl so many others they come through the southern border
[50:11] we have a drug problem over the last six seven ten years like we have never had before we can have
[50:19] such a big cut in the numbers in the percentages if we get the wall built if we have a strong wall
[50:29] with other things but we need the wall and it has to be built and we want to build it fast
[50:36] the number of illegal immigrants crossing our borders is so large that we've nowhere to hold them
[50:46] we have to build they want buildings they want jails they want these people how about the word caravan
[50:52] caravan i think that was one of mine but looked like a caravan where you have thousands and thousands
[51:00] of people coming from guatemala from honduras and el salvador and they march up through mexico and by the
[51:08] way if we didn't have walls in those areas in some cases that we put up in many cases where we reinforce
[51:15] in many cases where our great military helped us with barbed wire you would have people pouring in
[51:23] they don't pouring the problem is our laws are so bad that there's no way we can quickly remove them
[51:33] other countries say get out of here we have to bring them through a court system we sign their names
[51:39] they touch our land we sign them up we explain to them please come back in six years for court and
[51:48] only the dumbest people show back up nobody ever shows nobody comes back in like two percent they go in
[51:57] to our country the good news is we have great law enforcement and many of these people we know
[52:03] where they are and we're going to get them the hell out but we have to change our world so right now we
[52:15] have a backlog you won't even believe this other countries don't do this somebody walks into our
[52:21] country we bring them to court we have now a league we need perry mason we have a legal case nobody else
[52:28] does that other countries say get out can't come in you're not a citizen of whatever country we bring
[52:35] them in so listen to this right now we have almost 900 000 cases 900 000 how many judges are going to
[52:43] take care of we're going to have to hire tens of thousands of judges to do that 900 000 cases how
[52:51] stupid is this this was a system put in place by really dumb people or people that did not have the
[53:00] best interests of our country and there's no place better to talk about border security whether they
[53:11] like it or not because i've been hearing a lot of things oh the wall didn't make that much of a
[53:16] difference you know where it made a big difference right here in el paso and i've been watching where
[53:29] they've been trying to say oh the wall didn't make that much well you take a look at what they did with
[53:34] their past crimes and how they made them from very serious to much lesser you take a look at what the real
[53:40] system is i spoke to people that have been here a long time they said when that wall went up it's
[53:45] a whole different ball game is that a correct statement whole different ball game i'll give you
[53:54] another example and i don't care whether a mayor is a republican or a democrat they're full of crap when
[53:59] they say it hasn't made a big difference heard the same thing from the fake news they said oh crime
[54:12] actually stayed the same didn't stay the same went way down and look at what they did to their
[54:18] past crimes and look at how they recorded those past crimes went way way down these people you know
[54:24] you think they'd want to get to the bottom of a problem and solve a problem not try and pull the
[54:30] wool over everybody's eyes so for those few people that are out there on television saying oh it didn't
[54:35] make too much of a difference it made it from people from el paso am i right it's fake news it's fake
[54:52] i'm telling you it's just fake news and you know what you wouldn't even have to know you can say
[54:57] that automatically without even knowing it's like it's obvious it's common sense just a few thousand
[55:03] feet as an example from where we stand right now on the other side of the border it's one of the most
[55:09] dangerous cities in the world juarez mexico well the people at juarez agree yet thanks to a powerful
[55:21] border wall in el paso texas it's one of america's safest cities now now listen to this you're talking
[55:35] a few feet away right a few feet got a wall it's a few feet away last year juarez had 1200 murders el
[55:46] paso right next door a few feet away had 23 murders that's not good either but 23 compared to
[55:56] 1200 walls work actually there's nothing like them for what we're talking about we want to stop drugs
[56:05] we want to stop traffickers we want to stop criminals from coming in walls save lives walls
[56:12] save tremendous numbers of lives the biggest proponents of open borders are rich liberals
[56:23] and wealthy donors these are hypocrites who oppose security for you while living their entire lives
[56:32] i do too to be honest with you i'm guilty i'm guilty i also live behind walls okay live behind walls
[56:41] and gates and they have guards all over the place me too because i want to be safe and i want to make
[56:47] america safe if you don't mind so security should not belong only to the rich and to the powerful
[57:16] safety is the birthright of every american which is why we must finish the wall because walls are not
[57:30] immoral as it was said human trafficking is immoral drug peddling is immoral child smuggling is immoral
[57:42] sanctuary cities that get americans killed they're immoral open borders are dangerous and immoral
[57:55] my administration has put forward a compromise that really is a compromise and i hate to even
[58:01] compromise on things like this but it's showing common sense it's compassionate and it's going to
[58:08] solve our problem and the cost is a fraction when you look at the drugs that are pouring across from
[58:15] mexico if it stopped a small percentage and it won't it'll stop a large percentage it would pay for
[58:21] itself in a matter of weeks that's the kind of numbers you're talking about a matter of weeks hate to
[58:31] say this because we have a very good relationship but mexico had the highest number of killings that
[58:37] they've ever had almost 40 000 people were murdered in mexico mexico is not too far away and we need
[58:45] to take care of our people and we're going to do that and it's happening and it's happening a lot faster
[58:51] than anybody thought and i love that sign thank you closing includes humanitarian assistance drug detection
[59:04] at our ports and everywhere else closing legal loopholes which is a big problem and plans for a smart
[59:13] strategic see-through steel barrier or wall let's call it a wall this wall will be built in the areas
[59:23] identified by border agents as having the greatest need while safely directing people in commerce
[59:30] to our many lawful ports of entry which were beefing up in every way structurally
[59:36] we're beefing up the ports of entry and mechanically we have equipment now that can spot drugs it's
[59:42] incredible stuff it's expensive it's incredible by the way there is nothing better than a good
[59:49] old-fashioned german shepherd it's hard to believe it's true you know i i was with the people and
[1:00:01] they're showing me this incredible computerized stuff and where it goes i said could i because secret
[1:00:07] service took me out to the place and they were showing me these german shepherds they're unbelievable
[1:00:11] they'll run past all these empty boxes and one of the boxes has drugs in it deep down in a box and
[1:00:18] it comes to a screeching halt barking at the every time so i asked the people that sell the machinery
[1:00:24] at a lot of money i said let me ask you a question this stuff is incredible i'm really impressed
[1:00:29] how does it compare to a german shepherd guy looks at me goes sir honestly it's not as good can you
[1:00:34] believe it german shepherd certain types of dogs pretty good you do love your dogs don't you wouldn't
[1:00:52] mind having one honestly but i don't have any time i don't have look walking a dog on the white house
[1:01:00] lord would that be right sort of not for i don't know it doesn't i don't feel good feels a little
[1:01:11] phony phony to me a lot of people say oh you should get a dog why it's good politically i said look that's
[1:01:17] not the relationship i have with my people we want to have yeah obama had a dog you're right both
[1:01:24] parties should come together to finally create a safe and lawful system of immigration the american
[1:01:32] people have waited long enough we must secure the border pass kate's law and catch and release shut
[1:01:44] down sanctuary cities you know we need democrat votes to do it deport criminal aliens and keep the coyotes
[1:01:52] and traffickers and drug dealers the hell out of our country please and the democrats also need to
[1:02:05] confirm the more than 300 highly qualified nominees who are sitting in the senate waiting for confirmation
[1:02:14] people that have given up their lives to work in the trump administration and the democrats aren't
[1:02:22] approving them it's a record it's total obstruction it's a record of the history of our
[1:02:30] country there has never been some people left their job a year and a half ago two years ago
[1:02:36] to become an ambassador or to work in one of our many great agencies and we can't get schumer and his
[1:02:42] friends to approve them it's total obstruction there's never been anything like unfair very unfair
[1:02:52] to these people in many cases seriously they've left jobs and they're waiting and waiting and waiting
[1:02:59] they're slow walking every single one of them it's a disgrace as we fight to protect our borders we
[1:03:05] must also protect our newfound prosperity my administration has taken the toughest ever action
[1:03:12] to crack down on years of china's abuse and that straight practices have been very unfair and i have a lot
[1:03:19] of respect for president xi but he's representing china and i'm representing the united states we're also
[1:03:33] replacing one of the worst deals ever made probably the worst trade deal ever done although i happen to
[1:03:39] think that the wto is not so good either we're replacing nafta with a brand new u.s mexico canada
[1:03:48] agreement that everybody is loving got to get congress to approve it we got to get congress to approve it
[1:03:57] we'll get it i think done i mean there's such obstruction in congress you know they won't even do things
[1:04:02] that are good for our country now they would rather have trump have a loss than get something that's so
[1:04:08] good for our country our farmers are happy everybody's happy and it's going to be jobs you know what
[1:04:15] it does it stops companies from moving out makes it very hard economically for companies to say hey
[1:04:20] thanks a lot we're firing everybody we're moving to mexico makes it very very hard you know that's been a bone
[1:04:26] of contention for me for many years i've seen 25 and more of our automobile business move to mexico
[1:04:35] and it's not going to happen anymore not going to happen anymore unless they want to pay nice big fat
[1:04:44] tariffs to send their cars back into this country we've achieved and by the way tariffs have had an
[1:04:51] incredible effect just ask the folks in china how are we doing with tariffs you ask and you ask how are
[1:04:57] we doing in our negotiations the fact is and i say it openly either they treat us fairly or they have
[1:05:04] to pay for the privilege of coming in and taking our wealth and taking our jobs it's very simple
[1:05:12] and if you look back at our country when we were very rich when we had no debt when we had no problems
[1:05:22] economically you take back you take a look 1888 the great tariff debate you know what the debate was
[1:05:31] about our country had so much money they had to debate what the hell to do with all the money
[1:05:37] because tariffs were bringing in a fortune into the united states so at a minimum countries are
[1:05:45] negotiating with us very seriously because of the fact that they don't want to have to pay to come in
[1:05:50] and take advantage of our country that's at a minimum 1888 have the press check it out they'll say
[1:06:03] donald trump said 1888 we've achieved the largest decline in drug prices in 46 years prescription drugs
[1:06:17] and i'm asking congress to work with me to make prescription drugs affordable for every american
[1:06:24] family we just got the largest decrease in drug prices think of that and it's not easy it's not easy
[1:06:32] because we have middlemen that take care of a lot of people for a lot of years these middlemen
[1:06:38] and the drug companies but even worse the middlemen and we're cutting the middlemen out i'm they're not
[1:06:43] going to like me very much they pay for they made a lot of money but think of that the better first time
[1:06:50] in 46 years and now we're going to phase three we did one statutorily we did two statutorily now we go
[1:06:58] to phase three we're getting your drug prices down we're embarking on bold initiatives to defeat aids who
[1:07:05] knew that we have medicines now that work wonders on aids we're looking to be aids free in not many
[1:07:16] years as a country and maybe help also the world the world defeat a and we want to defeat childhood
[1:07:28] cancer we've made tremendous strides tremendous strides in the middle east our brave warriors
[1:07:37] have liberated virtually 100 of isis in iraq and syria now you don't hear that from these people
[1:07:50] now we've taken back soon it'll be announced soon maybe over the next week maybe less
[1:07:54] but it'll be announced very soon we'll have a hundred percent when i took over this country
[1:07:59] it was a mess and if i wouldn't have been elected you know i have so many people i was just walking up and
[1:08:05] every time it happens sir thank you thank you very much this guy he's he's like a monster no no it's
[1:08:12] true these people this guy is like a monster he's like this monster football a big strong guy he says
[1:08:19] to me he says thank you very much i don't know what they're saying but that's okay no he's this big
[1:08:24] strong guy and he's crying and he said mr i'm walking up mr and it happens all the time thank you very
[1:08:32] much mr president i said for what he said you've saved our country our country was going in the wrong
[1:08:38] direction you've saved our country thank you i've had so many people say that so many people you know
[1:08:53] the truth is though i didn't save our country we're now heading in the right direction it's very tough
[1:09:00] because we have so many things we're fighting including these people but so many people that we're
[1:09:04] fighting so many people that are either foolish or ill-intentioned but you know i didn't save our
[1:09:10] country you know who saved our country you saved our country you saved our country god because it's
[1:09:22] never nothing like this has ever happened before and you know what the world is watching and when
[1:09:28] prime ministers and when presidents and kings and queens they talk to me they say congratulations on
[1:09:35] what's happened with your economy mr president it's incredible they're emulating what we're doing
[1:09:41] they can't believe it so we continue to decimate the remnants because they're always going to be
[1:09:47] remnants we can take the area the land we'll soon have a hundred percent but they're always remnants they
[1:09:54] get out they wrap themselves in bombs they're crazy they're lunatics but you're always going to have
[1:10:00] that but we want to bring now get a hundred percent it was so bad when i took over
[1:10:06] it was going the opposite direction syria we want to bring our troops back home it's time it's time
[1:10:14] it's time and thanks to the extraordinary service of our military in afghanistan 19 years we're in
[1:10:28] afghanistan we may now be able to seek a political resolution that frankly they've wanted to talk about
[1:10:37] for a long time we've hit them very hard but it's been 19 years think of that 19 years we
[1:10:44] spend more on military in afghanistan 50 billion dollars a year than most countries spend on their
[1:10:52] entire country healthcare education everything we spend more than they do it's time to start thinking
[1:11:00] smart for our country what we want to build our country we want to spend money in our country we
[1:11:08] want to build our roads and highways and bridges and dams and last month the united states recognized
[1:11:21] the legitimate government of venezuela and condemned the socialist brutality of the maduro regime
[1:11:30] where socialism has been everywhere it's been implemented it's produced poverty misery repression and
[1:11:41] despair you take a look no matter where yet there are those trying to implement socialism right here
[1:11:48] in the united states so i again say to you i say it for the world to hear america will never be a
[1:12:01] socialist country never and we will die free we will always be free each of us here tonight
[1:12:35] is united by the same timeless values we believe in the american constitution and our great rule of law
[1:12:45] we believe in the dignity of work and the sanctity of life we believe that faith and family not
[1:12:54] government and bureaucracy are the center of the american way we believe in religious liberty the right to free
[1:13:06] speech and the right to keep and bear arms we believe that children should be taught to love our country
[1:13:23] honor our incredible history and always respect our great american flag we believe that the first duty of
[1:13:39] government is to be loyal to its citizens and we live by the words of our national motto that we are going
[1:13:48] to keep we'll never change this in god we trust these are the belief traditions and principles that bind us

[1:15:25] stared down a fireful army and declared come and take it take it take it and texas is the state
[1:15:43] where generations of farmers ranchers oil workers and pioneers help build up the most extraordinary nation
[1:15:52] in all of human history that's what we are we were losing track we didn't lose track anymore we're
