President Trump speaks at NRCC fundraising dinner

[0:00] The NRCC, the fundraising dinner in which President Trump is going to speak, [0:03] has just popped up. Now speaking is the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. Let's listen in. [0:08] The American people gave us to do just that. It is all attributed to leadership. And President [0:14] Donald J. Trump will go down as clearly one of the greatest, if not the greatest presidents [0:20] of all time. That is no kidding. We have a bold America First agenda we have delivered for the [0:32] people. And the record of this administration is promises made, promises kept. We have much [0:38] more yet to do. But we are going to defy history, my friends, and we are going to win the midterm [0:45] elections and grow this majority. That's what we're about. There's a lot of reasons for that [0:53] hope. And I have a very boring 90-minute slideshow that I would like to share with all of you at some [0:57] point. But we're not going to do that tonight. We're going to get right to the main card and [1:01] the main event. But we wanted to do one thing before we bring the president out to the stage. [1:07] Because of his accomplishments and because of his willingness to work literally around the [1:13] clock to fix every issue that has faced this country, to change the global partnerships, [1:20] to make America strong again on the world stage, to solve all the domestic problems that we are [1:25] facing in this country, the president has done so much for the American people. And we want to [1:30] honor him in some small way, some token of our appreciation for his leadership. And so tonight, [1:37] we have created [1:38] a new award. We're going to do something we've never done before. We're going to honor him with [1:45] a new award that we will present annually from this point forward. But he is the suitable and [1:50] fitting recipient of the first ever America First Award. We can think of no better title for what [1:57] that is. That's this beautiful golden statue here, appropriate for the new golden era in America. And [2:09] we want to let you know before we bring the president out and present this award to him, [2:13] that tonight we set, [2:15] yet another record. We've been setting fundraising records along the way. Last year, we broke all the [2:21] records there are. Just by way of example, I've transferred $18.5 million to the NRCC and candidates [2:28] just this quarter. We're going to continue that, thanks to the people in this room, all through the [2:33] year. That's the resources that are required to ensure that we grow the majority and save this [2:42] country. But the individual that is responsible for all of that success, it's a team effort, [2:48] but it's led by the commander-in-chief at the top. [2:51] So we want to bring out the president of the United States in just a moment and thank him for his [2:55] unwavering commitment to the American people. And because of that, it is our honor on behalf of all [3:00] House Republicans, all of you here and all patriots across the country, present the very [3:06] first America First Award to the 45th and the 47th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump. [3:14] Mr. President, come on out. [4:02] You can have a seat. The president is going to address us now, but I did want to give you one [5:46] more surprise, one more record broken. We were just talking about it a moment ago, and he said, [5:50] go ahead and tell the people. Last year at this event, we broke the all-time record for the spring [5:55] dinner at $35 million. And tonight, tonight, because of your generosity, we're going to have a [6:01] and because you're a part of this team, we raised $37 million. New record, new record. Thank you. [6:08] That's a lot of money. Congratulations. Well, we have a hot party. We have a very hot party, [6:24] and we have a group that likes to see our country in trouble. And we're going to do something about [6:31] it. But I want to thank you for that warm welcome, Mike. You guys are great. Richard and Mike [6:36] work so hard. And thank you to all the friends and supporters and true American patriots, [6:41] here tonight. You know, Richard just told me backstage that we have more donors here tonight [6:47] in terms of not only the dollars, but in terms of the individual people. We want to thank you. It's [6:51] a record. And it's a nice place, by the way. It looks nice. Very nice. They don't build too many [6:58] of them like this anymore. But with your help this November, we'll defeat the radical left Democrats [7:03] and we'll win a midterm victory like our country has never seen for whatever reason. I don't know [7:10] what it is, but a president who won. [7:13] Who wins, Republican or Democrat, almost always does poorly in the midterms. Nobody knows why, [7:20] even if it's a successful presidency. And there are those that say this has been the first, [7:26] I mean, really the best first year ever for a president. And I agree with them, I must tell you. [7:33] I agree with them 100 percent. But I do. We did a lot. We settled eight wars. People [7:40] sort of forget. And we're winning another one. I tell you, we're winning so [7:45] much. Nobody's ever seen anything like we're doing in the Middle East with Iran. And they are [7:50] negotiating, by the way. And they want to make a deal so badly, but they're afraid to say it [7:54] because they figure they'll be killed by their own people. They're also afraid they'll be killed by [8:00] us. There's never been a head of a country that wanted that job less than being the head of Iran. [8:08] I don't want it. We listen to some of the things they say. We hear them very clearly. [8:18] They say, I don't want it. We'd like to make you the next supreme leader. [8:23] No, thank you. I don't want it. But I want to express my gratitude to the tremendous leader in [8:31] this effort. And really, he's just an incredible speaker. He's going to go down as one of the great [8:36] ever, ever. Mike Johnson and the boss in his family, by the way, Kelly. And because of the [8:49] fact that these lights are so bright, I can't see a thing in the audience. But what the hell? I know [8:53] you're all friends. Otherwise, I'd get out of here very quickly. But what a job he's done. [9:03] Majority of three. We feel so thrilled. Then he goes down sometimes to two. Then it goes down [9:11] to one. And then he goes back up to two or three and we feel rich again. It's crazy. And we're [9:19] getting all of this. Think about the great, big, beautiful bill. Think of that. The great, [9:24] big, beautiful bill. We got it done. And remember, that was a four year deal. That was four years. [9:30] I said at the time and Mike agreed and John Thune agreed. We agreed. Let's get everything done. [9:38] And everybody said we were crazy, would never get it passed. And that was four years worth of [9:43] goodies. But now now that we have that, we're going back for more. We're going back for more [9:49] pretty quickly. I think you're going to see some pretty good things which we should win. But of [9:53] course, the thing that we should win and who would believe that you can't get voter I.D. because all [9:58] of the Democrats, every single one of them, they stick together. They have lousy policy. They're [10:05] not good people, but they stick together. They have horrible policy for this country, but they're [10:10] like glue. [10:11] The way they stick together. And you have to respect that. We have some very interesting [10:17] things in store. And I think we're going to have a great, a great election, despite the fact that [10:22] if you look historically, for whatever reason, you win the presidency, Republican, Democrat. [10:29] So in 50 years, it's two. Think of that in 100 years. It's four. And we're going to do it. [10:40] Nobody's done more than we have in this last short period of time. Nobody. It doesn't make [10:48] sense. I've gone to people, I've asked them, I've asked the greatest political leaders in the [10:52] country, why is it that whoever wins the presidency, not Republican, not Democrat, whoever wins the [10:59] presidency doesn't do well in the midterms. And most people can't explain it. The professionals [11:05] try and give you an answer. The Democrats would say, if you ask them that question, [11:13] it's racism. But it pertains to you too. Oh, well, in that case, it's not racism. They always use [11:19] racism. Whenever they ask a question, like voter ID, why don't you, it's racist. Do they ever have [11:28] another answer other than racism? And no, it's unbelievable. It's not racism. It's voter ID. [11:35] It's important for our country. And proof of citizenship is important for our country, very. [11:42] And men playing in women's sports should not be allowed. That's very important. And transgender [11:52] for everybody, the mutilation of our country. [11:55] Children should not be allowed. And open borders should not be allowed. Open borders where the [12:04] world is allowed to pour into our country shouldn't be allowed. And because of the rules, [12:14] really, in all fairness, you've been doing great. But because of the rules of the Senate, [12:21] it's very hard for them to get that the number. And again, you have those Democrats, [12:27] they stick together. Think of it. They vote against voter ID. They vote against proof, [12:35] citizenship. They vote against it. Now, I happen to be a fan of no mail-in ballots, [12:41] even though I won Florida, which is mail-in ballots by a massive number, the highest number [12:45] in history. And I won other places. But in California and other states, they cheat so [12:51] badly with that. They send 38 million ballots out. And of the 38 million, they go to Democrats. [12:59] Democrats get sometimes six or seven ballots in one household. And Republicans, [13:06] they're calling for their ballot. They're saying, please send me my ballot. Very unfair. But I hate, [13:13] I hate that. I hate mail-in ballots. I've won with mail-in ballots, but I hate mail-in ballots because [13:19] basically, it's a way of cheating. Jimmy Carter, the single best thing he did, [13:25] including his presidency, no, it wasn't giving away the Panama Canal for $1. That was not the [13:31] best. But he did that. He did a lot of other things. But he did do one thing. He had a [13:36] commission with Scoop Jackson and some other. Very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, [13:39] very respected people. And the conclusion was never allow mail-in ballots because if you do, [13:47] there'll be massive cheating. And that's what happens. We can't do it. So we have to do [13:51] something about that. But that poll's not at 99%. That poll's at about 75%, 80%. But voter ID poll's [14:00] at 96%, 97, 98% with Republicans. 86% just came out with both Republicans and Democrats. [14:09] The only one that fight it are the Democrat leaders because they want to cheat. The only [14:14] reason you say, that's the only reason. I don't want voter identification with a picture. I always [14:21] say it with a picture. It's true. And the only reason you don't want that is because you want [14:26] to cheat. And they do cheat. And we can't let them get away with this. So we have to keep that [14:31] fight going. We have to get voter ID and we have to get proof of citizenship. It's so important. [14:36] One of the most important things we can do. So I want to thank House, [14:46] Majority Leader, a brave guy. Oh, boy. I was with him that night where he wasn't supposed to [14:50] make it. Steve Scalise, he's great. What a strong guy. Where are you, Steve? We love Steve. Oh, [15:00] there he is. We love Steve. What a thing he went through. And then he went through another battle [15:05] too when he's a tough cookie. He outlasted it all. I was with his wife, his family that night, [15:13] that horrible night. And the doctor told me, very, very small chance. And here he is. I actually [15:20] think he's a better looking man now than he was a few years ago. I actually think he's better [15:25] looking. I don't know what the hell he did. I think he had the greatest doctors in history. He's a [15:30] better looking man now. Also, another great looking guy. He was born good looking and he's got an even [15:38] better looking wife. His wife is a winner. House Majority Whip, Tom Emmer. Where's Tom? Where's [15:45] Tom? Hello, Tom. He's great. Great guy. Conference Chair, Lisa McClain. Thank you, Lisa. [15:57] Thank you, Lisa. Thank you, Tom. NRCC Chairman Richard Hudson, who does such a good job all the [16:07] time. All the time. Deputy Chairman of the NRCC, a guy who worked for me for six years. And when [16:20] they said, we want to take him, could we share him? Then I knew he was good. And then his [16:26] congressional seat came up in Georgia, where he lived. And he said, Sir, my dream is to be a [16:32] congressman. Would it be okay if I ran? I said, no, I don't want you to run. I want you to stay. [16:36] Please stay with me. He said, please. I said, all right, I'll let you run. Brian Jack, he's done [16:43] so great. Brian Jack. It's always a tough name to have somebody. You ever have the names Brian Jack? [16:54] You know, these, I call them the two first names. You have two first names. People would say, you [16:58] know, that guy, Jack Bryan is fantastic. I said, who the hell is Jack Bryan? I had that the other [17:03] day. He was telling me what a great guy Jack Bryan is. Who is he? He's a congressman. I said, [17:11] name Jack Bryan. But he was talking about Brian Jack. Brian, you're a tremendous guy, [17:19] really understands, loves politics, loves being a congressman. And dozens of Republican warriors [17:25] in the house. You're incredible people. And you are warriors. And you have to take a lot of fake [17:30] news like I do. We take so much fake news. You know, if you listen to the news, you think we're [17:34] losing a war in Iran where we're decimating the other side. I mean, the better ones have us [17:42] doing okay. We are doing okay. We are doing okay. We are doing okay. We are doing okay. We are doing [17:44] okay. We are doing okay. We are doing okay. We are decimating. They've got no Navy. They've got [17:47] no anything. The whole thing is. And then you watch the news. I said, oh, I thought we were [17:52] doing better than that. The fake news really has to change because people, you know, when you can [17:57] win an election with 94% negative stories and you win it in a landslide, there's something wrong [18:07] with the news because it shouldn't be happening. And, you know, they used to have 96% approval [18:12] rating. They just edged out at 14. I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm excited. [18:15] I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm [18:16] extremely proud of that. Actually, I've exposed them for being fake news. And we are going to [18:24] hopefully change that because I think you really need great news to be great. And they are not [18:29] great. And they're not leading us to greatness. But we are going to lead us to greatness. We're [18:33] also joined tonight by many of our terrific MAGA majority candidates, a group of new candidates [18:40] from across the country. We'll help grow our margin in the house, including Jay Feeley, [18:46] great football player. [18:48] Kevin Lincoln, Joe Mitchell, Laurie Buckhout. Hi, Laurie. Mike Lepetri, Taino Tijerina, and [19:09] Eric Flores, all new and all leading and all going to win big. Thank you very much. Welcome. [19:16] Welcome to a group of outstanding people. And let's get the ball. You know what? We have to [19:21] get them across the finish line. We've raised more money than we ever have. And we're raising [19:27] a lot more. You know, I did something. [19:29] I haven't done this as a candidate. I saw the great job that Mike had done, [19:34] and they raised a lot of money for the evening. And the greatest thing about being president is [19:39] you don't have to make contributions. You know, nobody ever asked you for money. They want your [19:44] endorsement, but they don't want nobody ever asked for money. It's great. I said it's the [19:48] only thing where I save money in this business. Nobody ever asked. But I saw Mike the other night. [19:54] I did something that I never do. And I don't do this bragging. I do it because it's fun to talk [19:59] about. He was close to raising. [20:02] $20 million. And I said, I'll give you a million. So you hit your mark. I gave him a million dollars. [20:09] I never do that in politics. I never do it. But I do it for him. And we're going to do a lot more, [20:18] by the way. I'm going to do a lot more. We're going to raise. We've already raised a lot of [20:21] money, but I'm doing a lot more because we got to win. Our country's at stake. Really, [20:25] our country's at stake. These people are crazy that we're dealing with. The State of the Union [20:31] speech. You don't mind if I go off this crazy teleprompter a little bit. [20:37] You know, it's boring when you do the teleprompter thing. Very boring. But no, it's we had the State [20:44] of the Union speech the other night. I announced all these heroes and I announced women that have [20:49] gone through tragedy like the incredible woman who's lost her daughter to a maniac when he [20:55] slashed her from behind. Right. And I say, please, please say hello. And she stands up [21:01] devastated. And the Democrats are sitting like like dead people, like dead. No movement. [21:09] No heart. No anything. Then I announced a congressional medal of honor being bestowed [21:16] on the captain, a helicopter pilot who helped us win in Venezuela by landing a helicopter when his [21:27] leg was practically shot off with blood pouring down. You know, they land the big Chinooks, [21:33] a lot of people, a lot of great soldiers in that helicopter. And he was shot from underneath with [21:38] machine gun fire. Leg was practically. [21:41] He chopped out. And if you know about helicopters, you land the helicopters with your legs. And [21:48] he had legs that were not in good shape. And he landed and he was high up and he was able [21:55] to land it exactly where it was supposed to land. Without that, the mission would have [21:59] been a failure. Probably had to land exactly in that spot, exactly on time. And he got [22:07] it. And then he said, OK, I'm going to pass out now. Take over. Can you imagine that? [22:15] And we gave him. [22:15] The Congressional Medal of Honor and the Democrats sat there without movement. Then we gave another [22:25] Congressional Medal of Honor to a 100 year old hero, 100 years who was a legend in the military [22:31] for what he had done. We gave him the Congressional Medal of Honor, 100 years old, [22:36] and the Democrats sat there. Emotional is no clapping, nobody standing. [22:43] Republicans, you did very well. You were going wild for all of them. Now, at the end of the [22:50] evening, they were clapping on everything I said because they were called in by people watching on [22:55] television. Did you see they were passing around notes? And they were saying, you guys are being [23:01] killed tonight. Start clapping. And they were clapping for everything. Everything I said, [23:07] even good Republican things, they were clapping wildly. But it was too late. They have no heart. [23:13] And now you see what they're doing. They're just creating chaos. They want to create chaos. [23:18] It's all they're good at, creating chaos. They can't do policy. [23:22] No good. But they're doing it for two reasons. No. Number one is they want to deflect from all of [23:28] the tremendous success that we're having in this military operation. I won't use the word war [23:34] because they say if you use the word war, that's maybe not a good thing to do. They don't like the [23:38] word war because you're supposed to get approval. So I'll use the word military operation, [23:44] which is really what it is. It's called a military decimation. [23:49] But they don't like the good publicity. They don't like to see us succeed. They want to see our [23:53] country succeed. They want to see our country succeed. They want to see our country succeed. [23:53] They want to see our country fail. And also what they really want is they want illegal immigrants [24:01] to come in. Criminals doesn't matter because they want to get their votes. They think they're going [24:06] to get their votes. And we're not going to let this happen. We're not going to let our country [24:10] be destroyed by these people. So 16 months ago, with the help of many people in this room, [24:21] we saved our country. And the most important electoral victory in American history could be. [24:29] Let me ask you, let's do a poll. Fake poll. What do you think? Let's do a poll. Let's do a fake poll. [24:31] We'll do a we'll do a real poll. We're tired of those fake polls. I get so many, [24:35] although I got one yesterday from CNN. What is the percentage of people in MAGA, [24:44] which is most of the Republican Party, by the way, that support the president? The number was [24:50] 100 percent. Do you believe it? In fact, he went wild, Harry. He went wild. It may be the last time [24:59] he ever does the show, but these are OK. That was 100 percent. Even I was surprised at that. [25:04] That was pretty good. [25:06] But we won all seven swing states by millions and millions of votes. [25:12] We won the Electoral College by 312 to 226. We won the popular vote for the first time [25:19] of any Republican in many decades. And biggest of all is we won. That's where you see all red [25:25] several two little blue lines on the edge on the map. We won 86 percent of all counties in America, [25:35] two thousand seven hundred to five twenty five. [25:38] That's pretty good. That's what they call a slaughter. [25:43] And together, the Trump administration and our Republican majorities in Congress won a mandate [25:49] from the American people. And every day since we've been fighting to keep our promises and to [25:55] in the true sense, the greatest expression, the greatest motto, call it a logo, call it whatever [26:04] you want. The greatest phrase in the history of politics. Make America great again. It really is. [26:15] And we probably have to start. We'll never we'll never abandon that phrase, [26:21] but we'll probably have to start changing because when you say make America great again, [26:25] that means it's not great. Now we've made America great. We've rebuilt our military. [26:29] You know, I rebuilt our military in the first term. I didn't think I'd use it this much, [26:34] but we've used it. And there's no military like it anywhere in the world. We have the [26:38] greatest military anywhere in the world. And it's not even close. [26:42] And with the help of our Republican warriors that are right before me in the House, we ended the [26:53] an invasion of our country past the largest border security investment in history and [26:59] achieved the strongest and most secure border on record. I built a thousand miles of wall and [27:05] without that wall, we could have never done what we did. And for ten months in a row, this is [27:10] outside. I mean, this is the facts. In fact, these numbers are given by people that they say [27:16] are predominantly Democrat. They're the ones that make it up for ten months in a row. [27:22] Zero illegal aliens have been [27:25] admitted to the United States of America. Think of it. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. [27:33] We've also accomplished the largest reduction in illegal drugs in history and the history of our [27:39] country. Think of that with the flow. Deadly fentanyl across our border is down by 61 percent. [27:46] Think of that 61. Not good enough, but I'll tell you what, it's down 98 percent coming in by water. [27:53] Do you notice that? And we're trying to find out who the 2 percent are because we think they may be [27:59] the bravest people on Earth. They are brave people. Either that or they don't watch television. [28:07] I think it's that they don't watch television. Down 98 percent by water. We had a lot of it coming [28:13] in by water. And now if you watch closely, you'll watch that same treatment being given to land, [28:20] land being much easier than water. We did the water first. That forces them onto the [28:25] land and then we're going to do the land and you'll be very happy about it. We've reduced drugs coming [28:31] into this country by an astounding amount. Now the Democrats have shut down the Department of [28:38] Homeland Security in an attempt to return to open borders where criminals come in from all over the [28:46] world. From the Congo, they come. You know, the Congo opened its jails, released all of its [28:52] prisoners into the United States of America through the totally open southern border, [28:57] sleepy Joe Biden border. The TSA agents have been [29:04] unfairly by the Democrats who made three different deals with us over the last short period of time, [29:09] breaking the original one and then breaking the current ones because they don't want to settle. [29:15] They want chaos. As I said, so there are great military triumphs against Iran can't be displayed [29:23] on television because they're displaying airports. But I have to tell you, they did one [29:28] thing that's been helpful. We decided to use our great patriots of ice. These people are great. [29:35] They have [29:36] endured so much punishment, all because they want to get murderers, drug dealers, people who are [29:44] totally mentally insane. Many, many of the worst criminals in the world get them out of our [29:49] country. And in so doing, we said I sent ice to the airports yesterday and they have been so great. [29:58] They have been so great. And you know what's happened? And they didn't need any rehabilitation, [30:08] but they did in terms of the fake news. And they're doing such an unbelievable job at the [30:14] airports that they had one line. It was four hours yesterday and today was a half an hour. [30:19] Big, big difference. And if we have to, we're going to send in the National Guard if we need to, [30:26] because we only, you know, we have 6,000 ice agents and we have 40,000 of the other people [30:33] that they're helping out. Some of who really were forced because the Democrats don't want to pay [30:38] them. [30:38] The Democrats don't want to pay them. You have to remember that the radical left Democrats [30:44] need to get DHS back and open immediately together. We're going to make with them, [30:52] not the Democrats, because they've gone out of their way to make our country unsafe. [30:56] And remember that according to them, it's a war. They're doing this during a war. They're doing [31:04] this during a war. We're not supposed to be doing it, but we're going to make America totally safe [31:10] again. [31:11] Very quickly, the largest drop. We had the largest drop in violent crime in our country, [31:19] despite all of these criminals that have been allowed in. Murderers, despite all, think of it, [31:26] 11,888 murderers allowed into our country, many of which more than 50% killed more than one person. [31:38] Thank you very much, Joe Biden. Thank you to Kamala, who was the border czar, [31:43] who never went to the border and never made one phone call to Border Patrol. The Border Patrol is [31:49] incredible. They've never had a phone call from her. Four years. But they get phone calls from me [31:56] every single day. How are we doing on the border? How are we doing on the border, Paul? How are we [32:03] doing? How are we doing, Brandon, on the border? And we got it down to where people don't come [32:11] anymore. It's obvious now it's easy. They used to storm the fences. Now they don't come anymore [32:15] because they know they're not getting in. [32:18] Think of it, the murder rate, despite the fact that they allowed massive numbers of criminals [32:23] into our country, is the lowest it's been in 125 years, 1900, before my father was born, [32:33] before my father, Fred, who was the greatest. My father was born after that. Think of that, [32:40] 125 years, and we've achieved a miracle right here in our nation's capital where we have a safe city. [32:47] You can walk to work. [32:51] You can walk to Congress. You can walk to the Capitol. You can walk to the White House. [32:57] When I came, this place was so dangerous. We were having two and three people killed [33:03] every single week. Now you don't see it at all. We have actually, in a very short period of time, [33:10] we've already done it, but in a very short period of time, we have one of the safe... [33:14] Washington, D.C. is right now from one of the most unsafe cities anywhere in this country, [33:22] is now one of the... [33:24] of the most safe cities anywhere in the country. We have done a great job. And that's just by having [33:35] great people from our military there, National Guard. It's because we removed 4,000 hardened [33:43] criminals out of our city and out of their country. In some cases, they were so dangerous [33:51] and so bad. They came from Biden, this guy that couldn't walk off a stage. See this stage? See how [34:00] many stairs? [34:01] I hear all of it. He couldn't... [34:02] He could never find the stairs. And people don't want that. People want a president that's able to [34:07] walk off and find the stairs. Could never... Do you ever see that? Where he looks out, [34:13] oh, I'm finished. First of all, his speeches were extremely short. They lasted a matter of seconds. [34:20] And then he'd walk out. Look, I couldn't stand... He was probably a nice guy. I couldn't stand this [34:42] guy. You ever see the weaponization? If we look at somebody, Donald Trump is weaponizing. [34:49] We've done just the opposite, unfortunately. Unfortunately. I hope they're looking at some [34:59] of these criminals that cheated on the election. I hope they're looking at them because what they [35:06] did to us and what they did is incredible. But I looked at Biden and he weaponized like nobody's [35:12] ever been weaponized before. Me, forget about me. So many people, Republicans, many of you in the [35:18] audience, Congress people, many of my friends, you were taped and you were... Your phone was taped. [35:24] It was taken away. Right, Scott? A lot of things happened that were very bad. They weaponized. [35:31] But the fake news will say, oh, Donald Trump mentioned a dirty cop named Comey and therefore [35:40] he's weaponizing government. No, they weaponized and we're not going to let them happen. And I [35:45] think Comer and all these guys, you're out there someplace, I think, because I can't see a damn [35:51] thing with these stupid lights they have up. But I want to thank you, Jim Jordan, [35:58] Comer. Where are those guys? Where I stand up, you deserve it. Now they have to take your [36:07] recommendations. They have to take your recommendations and they have to act. They [36:14] have to act. We can't just be sending out all these 100% recommendations and nothing happens. [36:23] But I want to thank Speaker Johnson, the Republican Congress. We also passed [36:28] the largest tax cuts in American history. Think of it. With a great, big, beautiful bill, [36:35] we delivered. [36:35] No tax on tips. No tax on overtime. No tax on Social Security for our great seniors. Think of [36:43] this. I mean, think of the no tax on tips. You know how I got that one? A lot of people hire [36:47] consultants. You all pay them millions and millions of dollars. I was having dinner with [36:54] a group of Republicans in Nevada, a state that we never win, right? And this waitress comes over. [37:03] And I won't say she was beautiful, because if you call her beautiful, [37:08] it's over. You resign in disgrace. So I will not say it. I said, how are you doing, Gina? Sir, [37:30] it's terrible. The government's after me for tips. I said, really? Do you have like, [37:36] I mean, do you report your tips? It turns out the hotels pretty much report their tips. It's [37:41] actually not quite as good as you think. I mean, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't [37:43] know what you would think. She said, no, sir. Sir, may I make a suggestion? What? What do you [37:49] want? What do you know about politics? No, I'd like to make a suggestion. I'm voting for you, [37:54] sir. You should have no tax on tips. She said, what? No tax on tips, sir. I said, say it one [38:05] more time. No tax on tips, sir. I was with a group of 12 people. I got up, immediately walked [38:13] outside of the restaurant where there were about 250 lunatic, [38:18] media. I said, ladies and gentlemen, after an exhaustive study, I have decided to have as a [38:30] very big part of my agenda, no tax on tips. This has been years in the making. I won Nevada in a [38:44] landslide. You know, I kept saying, well, the problem is she's just going to follow me up. [38:49] You know, Kamala, a real genius. She's going to follow me up. She waited months. And then just [38:55] before the election, she said no tax on tips. And they left at her. It was over. We had the issue. [39:00] We killed her. [39:00] We killed them on that issue. We won Nevada, which you never win. You know, Republicans don't win it [39:04] very much. It was many, many years. But we had a great election. That was a great election. But I [39:11] ask you this. I want to do this. Which was the bigger and more important election? Okay, I'm [39:17] going to ask you. Then I'm going to ask you just to cheer one way or the other. Let's, because we [39:21] had two great elections. We had three, because 2020 was equally good, but they cheated. Millions [39:27] of votes. Dirty cheats. Dirty, rotten cheaters. Which was the most important? [39:33] Election. Which was the more glamorous? The whole thing, right? Which was the better election? [39:38] I'm going to go 2016 or 2024. Ready? 2016. Whoa. 2024. Could be right. A lot of people feel that [39:59] way. I mean, 2016 was unique because somebody that had never done this before won. I never did [40:06] it before. I went to Washington. I didn't know anybody. I was lonely. I said, do you have any [40:12] people that are any good? And some rhinos gave me some names that I didn't like too much. [40:17] But we had great people. You know, we rebuilt our military. 2016, that four-year period, [40:25] we rebuilt our military. We got the largest tax cut in history, superseded now by what we did in [40:30] 2024 with a great, big, beautiful bill. I love the great, big, beautiful bill. [40:36] But we did a lot. We did a lot. We had a great first term, but our second term is blowing it [40:43] away. It's blowing every term. So far, it's blowing every term of every president away. And, [40:49] you know, we hit, I have to say, we're going so smooth. And I say, I hate to do it, but somebody [40:56] has to. For 47 years, no president had the guts to do what you had to do. And we hit 50,000 on the [41:04] Dow. Everyone said, well, 50,000 will take place in five or six years. There's no way you can do [41:12] it during his term. I did it in the first year. Then they said, you'll never reach 7,000 on the [41:20] S&P. Standard. [41:22] You'll never reach 7. We did it in the first year. We would go in like a rocket ship. The market was [41:29] good. Everything was good. And then I said, we're going to have to do something about Iran because [41:35] they're going to have a nuclear weapon very soon. And they're crazy. They're crazy. They're out of [41:39] their minds. And we have to stop them. And I say, well, we're going to take a big hit. We're going [41:46] to go through this certain route and we'll get right back here. But we have to go and stop them. [41:51] Every president should have done it. I heard that. [41:54] Today, Blinken made a statement that he should have done it. Thanks a lot, Blinken. I appreciate [42:02] it. Blinken is Biden's guy, I guess. Who the hell knows who he is? He's his guy. But he came out with [42:10] a statement that they should have done it. They made a mistake. They should have done it. And [42:14] other presidents should have done it. Obama should have done it. Obama was worse. Obama gave them [42:20] the absolute right title and interest, gave everything to Iran. You remember that? [42:27] And Bibi Netanyahu came over and begged him not to do it. He gave Iran the right to have a nuclear [42:35] weapon at the highest level within a very short period of time. And I terminated that agreement [42:41] as soon as I came to office. And if I didn't terminate it, that weapon would have been used [42:52] three years ago, would have been used a long time ago. Then we stopped it a second time [42:56] with those beautiful B-2 bombers. They went in and they knocked the hell out of the nuclear potential. [43:04] If they didn't do that attack, Iran would have had a nuclear weapon within two weeks to four [43:11] weeks after the attack. But we did attack and we obliterated the site. And we saved it there, too. [43:20] We did many things. Taking out Soleimani was very important. He was an evil man. But that was a big [43:27] event we took out in my first term. We took out Soleimani and they never had leadership that could [43:33] compete with that. He was an evil guy, but he was a real leader. And he was a [43:38] very tough general. Probably wouldn't have been quite as easy, I will tell you. I don't think we [43:43] would have would have taken us an extra day. But under our leadership, America is also highly [43:51] respected again. Perhaps we are now respected like never, ever before. I don't think we have [43:58] ever been as respected now. You know, if you think about it, a year and a half ago, our country was [44:09] viewed as a joke. We were a joke all over the world. They were laughing at us, how stupid we [44:15] were, how pathetic. Now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world. We're the hottest [44:18] country in the world. King of Saudi Arabia said it. He said, Sir, I was in Saudi Arabia, came back [44:25] with two trillion dollars for our country. I came back with two trillion from Saudi, two trillion [44:31] from Qatar, two trillion from UAE. Oh, they're great. They're all fighting. They got hit. Nobody [44:38] expected they were going to get hit. It made them angry and they came to our side immediately, [44:41] all of them and others. But I came back and I remember the statement like, [44:49] yesterday, he said, Sir, King of Saudi Arabia, he said, two years ago, you were a dead country, [44:57] and now you're the hottest country in the world. Congratulations. It's true. We're the hottest [45:02] country anywhere in the world. There's nobody close. We're the most powerful military. We have [45:08] the most powerful military. You saw that in Venezuela. One hour, the war was over. And, [45:14] you know, this is a larger country now that we're fighting. But the war essentially ended a few days [45:19] after we went in. We knocked out their navy. We knocked out everything. We knocked out their [45:21] vaccines. We knocked out everything. It's amazing. We have the greatest military. We make [45:25] the greatest military equipment. And now, if you notice, I said, you got to make it faster. Got to [45:30] make more of it, because we need it. All made in America, but we make the greatest. You know, we [45:36] had an attack. One hundred missiles were shot by Iran at a very important thing that we had. I [45:47] won't tell you what it was for certain reasons. One hundred missiles going 2000 miles an hour were [45:52] coming at us. [45:53] this element of importance, tremendous power and importance. [45:59] And of the 100 missiles coming at us, [46:03] 100 missiles were immediately shot down, [46:06] shot out of the air, fall into the sea. [46:08] Think of that. [46:10] Not one missile got through. [46:13] That was the Patriot system, it's great. [46:15] We have the best equipment in the world, [46:17] we have the best military, the most powerful, [46:19] most lethal military in the world by far. [46:22] Earlier this year, in a stunning display [46:24] of American military strength and skill, [46:29] we apprehended the outlaw Victor, you know this, [46:32] from Venezuela, named Nicolas Maduro, [46:36] and brought him to face American justice. [46:39] He's been killing people for a long period of time [46:42] with drugs and everything else, [46:43] but killing people, a violent man. [46:47] We went in and we got him out of his house, [46:50] and his house was located in a military base [46:53] with thousands of soldiers, [46:56] and we went in so violently [46:58] that everybody said, we'll pass. [47:01] Then they came back and waved goodbye [47:03] as he flew out in a helicopter. [47:05] The soldiers said, bye, leave us alone. [47:09] Thanks to the men and women in the room, [47:12] we made a $1 trillion investment [47:16] in the United States Armed Forces, [47:17] and we now have the strongest and most powerful military [47:21] that the world has ever seen. [47:23] Nobody close, nobody close. [47:26] And the situation in Iran is also a stark reminder [47:29] of just how high the stakes are. [47:31] It's just how high the stakes are [47:32] for the midterm elections. [47:33] If Democrats had won in 2024, [47:38] our country would right now be a nation in terminal decline. [47:42] I don't even know if we'd have a nation right now. [47:45] The spirit was so bad. [47:47] You know, something I'm very proud of, [47:49] if you go back a year and a half, [47:52] you know, we couldn't get people to join the military, [47:54] the police forces, nothing. [47:56] The Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Marines, [47:59] the Coast Guard, Space Force, they wouldn't join. [48:02] They didn't want to join during Biden's election. [48:04] During Biden, his last year, [48:05] they had the worst recruitment in the history of our country. [48:10] One year later, we set records on recruitment. [48:13] We had the greatest recruitment in the history of our country. [48:16] The spirit was back. [48:22] But Iran would long ago have had a nuclear weapon [48:25] if it weren't for us. [48:26] The entire world would be under mortal threat, [48:29] and the prospects for peace in the Middle East [48:31] would be absolutely shattered forever. [48:34] And forget the Middle East. [48:35] We would have a cloud over us, too. [48:38] Because he would've used it, [48:40] and they would've used it on us without hesitation. [48:42] Our military would be woke, politicized, [48:47] starve for resources, ICE would be effectively abolished. [48:51] They would've terminated ICE so that all these murderers [48:55] and drug dealers and killers and the mentally insane [49:00] would've been in our country [49:01] instead of being shipped back to their country, [49:04] like only ICE could do. [49:05] These are great patriots that have been abused, [49:08] and I said before, and I mean [49:10] the people are saying what nice people now i must tell you when i first sent them in two days ago i [49:17] looked and they were wearing masks and i think they have to because a lot of people are but [49:23] in an airport no i said fellas do you mind taking off your masks in the airport and they took them [49:30] off and people said wow these are nice guys and they're helping the people with their bags [49:36] they're moving things along it's a beautiful thing to see people are starting to say ice [49:43] you're nice guys we really appreciate it so the democrats in their violence and viciousness have [49:51] done us a favor but the cost of energy and electricity would be the highest ever which [49:58] it was prior to this administration inflation would be soaring to country record levels you [50:04] know we had the highest i inherited the highest inflation in the history of our country they say [50:11] 48 years what difference does it make it's the highest in [50:15] the history of our country and our nation would be ravaged by rampant crime woke lunacy and [50:20] transgender for everybody that's where we would have been people would have been flowing into our [50:27] countries at the same levels they were got they were destroying they were destroying our country [50:32] and you know we are a party remember this is it's okay it's a pretty obvious statement i think but [50:41] we're a party of common sense we are the party of common sense because whether you're conservative [50:47] it's really not about it's really common sense you need borders you need education you want to [50:54] buy a house you want you we're the party of common sense we don't want to have men playing in women's [51:02] sports you got to look at some of the records weightlifting a record that stood for 18 years [51:09] in the women's category was shattered by a male who came in and broke the record by 128 pounds [51:18] you think that's good [51:21] that's not good and he was a lousy weightlifter as a man he was a loser [51:26] can you believe it he felt awfully good she felt awfully good about herself [51:31] but from now until november we're going to fight and i'm going to personally campaign for every one [51:36] of you we're going to go to win in midterms we're going to have even bigger majorities [51:41] in the house and the senate than we have today going to help all of you americans saw the true [51:49] and craven nature of congressional democrats during my state of the union [51:54] and we're not going to let that happen again they really are they're a party and it's terrible [52:00] to talk i want i want it to be the old way where they got you know democrats republicans used to [52:05] get together have lunch and then they'd fight a little bit and you know but it doesn't seem to be [52:13] happening that way and this is before me because if you go back to obama he was a great divider he [52:19] divided this nation he was a lousy president the worst president in history was biden but obama was [52:26] a terrible president he was a divider he did so many bad things but they're the party of fraudsters [52:33] criminals radicals illegal aliens high taxes and putting america last that's what they are they put [52:40] america last republicans are the party for every hard-working patriot and we do something very much [52:47] different than them we put america first put america first so as we rebuild it it's going [52:56] to come back very quickly it's already back i mean it's back went down a little bit i actually thought [53:01] it was going to come back a little bit but it just got out of control i thought it was going up a [53:07] little bit but then they put america at a high point and i wanted america to have that kind of [53:12] a positive positive impact but at the same time i wanted it to be a lot more constructive i wanted [53:18] it to be a very generation-oriented nation when i went on this excursion as i call it [53:27] excursion into hell excursion into a terrible place when i went on to do something that for 47 years [53:34] should have been done by [53:36] somewhat lower but it didn't matter to me it's short term what we had to do is get rid of the [53:42] cancer we had to cut out the cancer the cancer was iran with a nuclear weapon and we've cut it out [53:49] now we're going to finish it off as we rebuild the greatest economy in history a top priority [53:55] must be to bring down the cost of living and we were doing that and we are doing that at a record [54:01] at a record clip you know they had a phrase all these phrases that they came up with like [54:09] they're the ones that cause prices to go up they had the highest prices and we're bringing down [54:16] the prices with the worst inflation which has come way down you know last the last two months [54:24] or three last three months actually inflation was 1.4 percent but we're ending high prices [54:31] with tax cuts deregulation and frankly [54:34] you [54:34] again the words common sense for years big insurance companies have gotten rich with [54:40] our government giving them hundreds of billions of dollars and under the great health care plan [54:46] that's what we call it capital g capital h capital p the great health care plan i'm urging [54:53] congress to halt all payments to big insurance companies which are literally controlling the [55:00] democrat party they have total control over the democrats that's why you can't make a deal with [55:05] them [55:05] the insurance companies have taken in trillions of dollars i want this money to go directly to [55:13] the american people so they can buy their own health care and it's going to be better care at [55:18] a lower cost and you guys can do it you can do it every time i mention that it's like it goes viral [55:27] give the money directly to the people so they can buy their own you'll pay much less they'll pay [55:35] much less but the democrats won't do it because they're not going to be able to pay much less [55:39] they're totally in the pocket of the insurance companies they made how about stocks that got have [55:43] gone up 1400 1500 1700 as part of this plan we also need to maximize price transparency it's a big deal [55:57] doesn't sound very glamorous but it is in addition it's time to codify my most favorite nation's [56:04] policy on drug prices into law we have lowered the price of drugs by 50 60 [56:12] 70 and 80 and 90 percent and there's another way of figuring you could also say depending on the [56:18] way you phrase the statement 400 500 600 700 percent nobody's ever seen anything like it i [56:26] got other countries to do it with the threat of tariffs i said if you don't approve it because [56:32] i got the insurance companies to do it the health care the health we needed insurance we needed [56:37] everything no other president tried to get this done but basically i'm not going to do it [56:44] frankly our drug cost prescription drugs were far more expensive than any other country [56:52] anywhere in the world the highest prices of any nation anywhere in the world but under the deal [56:57] negotiated we go from the highest price ever paid to the lowest price in the world it's numbers [57:06] that nobody's ever seen it doesn't even get covered in the newspaper's we gotta talk [57:11] about that alone should win the midterms but nobody talks about it [57:12] 10 years ago [57:15] That's why I talk about it. [57:17] Think of it, I lowered prices by 50, 60, 70, 80%. [57:21] Nobody even wants to write about it. [57:23] That's because the fake news is fixed. [57:26] It's rigged. [57:27] It's dirty. [57:28] It's dirty press. [57:30] For years, Democrats promised to reduce drug costs, [57:34] but we got it done. [57:35] All they did was talk. [57:36] We got it done. [57:38] I tell the story of my first term, my third year. [57:42] I was the first one in 28 years to lower drug prices. [57:47] One quarter of 1%. [57:48] I was so proud of that. [57:50] I had a news conference. [57:51] Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to announce [57:53] that I lowered drug prices by one quarter of a percent. [57:56] First time in 28 years, [57:57] the prices went down from January to December, right? [58:01] Now I'm lowering prices by 70 and 80%. [58:07] Now we can't have it, but nobody wants to pick it up. [58:10] Nobody wants to pick it up. [58:13] It's pretty incredible. [58:14] But the people understand. [58:15] The people get it. [58:17] That's why I got 100% in the CNN poll. [58:19] Can you believe it? [58:20] 100%. [58:21] They must have made a mistake. [58:23] Boy, those people that put that poll out got fired by CNN very quick. [58:27] They're no longer working for that wonderful crooked network. [58:32] How crooked is CNN? [58:33] But you know what's worse? [58:34] I think ABC fake news is worse, actually. [58:37] But George Stephanopoulos, they had to pay me $16 million for what they said. [58:42] CBS had to pay me $38 million for what they said. [58:46] It's actually pretty good. [58:47] You know, if you bring lawsuits against these guys, [58:50] they're so corrupt that they pay it. [58:52] How about this one hasn't been determined yet. [58:55] How about BBC, where they put me out and they have me saying, [59:05] and you can't tell the difference, things that I never said that were terrible. [59:10] It turned out they put out news and they changed my words, [59:15] having me say horrible things. [59:16] I said to my wife, I never said that. [59:19] Well, darling, you said it. [59:20] Look, your lips. [59:21] Let's watch TiVo, one of the great things in history. [59:25] Remember, television would be no good without TiVo. [59:27] Without TiVo or its equivalent. [59:29] How about, wouldn't television be terrible if you couldn't play it back? [59:32] You'd go absolutely crazy, right? [59:35] So I play it back and you're right. [59:36] I said, you're right. [59:39] Could I have said that? [59:40] It's so horrible. [59:41] And we checked it out. [59:43] It turned out it was done by fake news. [59:45] It was fake news. [59:46] They put it, they put words in my mouth, sentences and paragraphs in my mouth that was so horrible. [59:53] So we brought a suit against them and they admitted they were guilty. [59:56] They admit it. [59:58] Can you believe? [59:59] They are. [1:00:00] Now it's only a question of how much do I get? [1:00:02] No, they have to be taught a lesson because they're, they're crooked. [1:00:08] They're crooked people. [1:00:09] You know, I always say you need great borders. [1:00:12] You need great borders and you really need fair press. [1:00:17] And we don't have fair. [1:00:18] We have good borders. [1:00:19] Now we're good with the best we've ever been. [1:00:21] I think we probably the best. [1:00:22] We are considered the best. [1:00:24] We are the best at the border that we've ever been. [1:00:26] But we have news that's really terrible. [1:00:30] And the other thing you need is you need fair. [1:00:32] Free, safe, honest elections. [1:00:35] You need that. [1:00:38] And the only way you're going to get that is the Save America Act. [1:00:45] You got to add the word America. [1:00:47] Oh, when I watch these people, they hate saying Save America Act. [1:00:53] They always say the Save Act. [1:00:54] Nobody knows what the hell the Save Act means. [1:00:57] Save America is good to save act. [1:01:00] Are you trying to save terrorism? [1:01:02] What are you trying to do? [1:01:03] It could be you saving anything. [1:01:06] It's called Save America Act. [1:01:08] Please don't let them. [1:01:09] You know, I saw last night on another fake network. [1:01:14] The Save Act. [1:01:15] It's not. [1:01:16] It's called the Save America Act. [1:01:20] I saw Schumer the other night. [1:01:22] We will stop Save America and our great first lady who that turns out to be a fantastic [1:01:28] movie star. [1:01:29] Do you believe this? [1:01:30] She had the number one movie. [1:01:31] Now she's number one on streaming. [1:01:34] And you can't have two stars in one family. [1:01:36] So this is not good. [1:01:38] I've always said you can't have stars. [1:01:41] There's only room for one star in a family. [1:01:43] This is not a good sign. [1:01:46] Now she has the number one movie and now she's got number one on streaming. [1:01:49] There's no talking to her. [1:01:52] Darling, congratulations on being number one. [1:01:55] Oh, thank you, darling. [1:01:57] There's no talking to her, but she's doing a good job as first lady out there. [1:02:03] She really is. [1:02:04] People love her. [1:02:05] People love her. [1:02:11] But in our quest to restore public safety, we also need accountability for corrupt Democrat [1:02:16] officials who conspire to obstruct. [1:02:18] Federal law less than one week ago, a precious 18 year old college student named Sheridan [1:02:25] Gorman was shot and killed while walking in a park innocently. [1:02:31] The illegal alien monster charge was, I mean, it's it's total animal member when Nancy Pelosi [1:02:38] got angry because I used the word animal in describing a savage killer. [1:02:44] We were okay with it didn't bother me at all. [1:02:48] The illegal alien monster charge was Sheridan's brutal. [1:02:51] Oh, my God. [1:02:51] If I didn't understand that, I couldn't. [1:02:53] Right. [1:02:54] I mean, I'll tell you what, I was just right. [1:02:56] I was truly humiliated when I was shot. [1:02:58] But I'm glad that this thing was working. [1:03:00] I'm glad I still have the guts to do it. [1:03:04] This was the first time that a criminal murder had come illegally from Venezuela, had been [1:03:11] released into our country by Sleepy Joe Biden. [1:03:16] He had no idea what the hell he was doing. [1:03:18] That's why he was. [1:03:19] Okay, which is a better term, Sleepy Joe or Crooked Joe, Crooked Joe Biden, please Sleepy [1:03:26] Joe Biden, please. [1:03:27] J.B. Pritzker, one of the worst governors in the history of our country in the sanctuary city of [1:03:33] Chicago. You know, we would stop crime in Chicago just like we did in Louisiana. We had great [1:03:41] success in Memphis, Tennessee, a crime capital. We got it down 71 percent in a matter of a few [1:03:48] months. Washington is the one that we talked about already. So amazing how great we've done. [1:03:55] But we could go to Chicago if that slob would allow if he just say, please come, Mr. President. [1:04:02] People are being killed here all the time. Please come. I would come and you would have no crime. [1:04:08] Practically, Chicago would be easy for us. But they don't want to say that because they actually, [1:04:14] I think, like it. I don't know. They're sick people. But as you saw at my State of the Union [1:04:19] Democrat politicians, they don't care about American blood. They spill in there. [1:04:25] Very demented. [1:04:26] In pursuit of these open borders, every American needs to know that the larger [1:04:31] majorities in the House and Senate, Republicans will remember this will end sanctuary jurisdictions [1:04:39] once and for all. We need a few more votes. If we get a few more votes and we could get [1:04:45] a few more in the Senate and if we could get a few more in the House, we could do things that [1:04:50] would be a miracle. We got to get out and win. The time has also come for Republicans to pass [1:04:56] a tough new crime. [1:04:57] Bill that imposes harsh penalties for dangerous repeat offenders, cracks down on rogue judges. We [1:05:04] got rogue judges that are criminals. They're criminals. What they do to our country, the [1:05:12] decisions that they hand down and hurt our country. And I could tell you something. I've gone through [1:05:18] it. And the decisions that these people make. I got a decision on tariffs that's going to cost [1:05:28] our country. Not me. I do it. [1:05:30] Different way. Different way. Going to cost our country hundreds of billions, potentially of [1:05:38] refunds, giving them back to people that have been ripping off our country because the Supreme [1:05:45] Court didn't want to put one little sentence that all money taken in up till this date doesn't have [1:05:51] to be paid back. Going to cost us hundreds of billions of dollars. So sad to see. And I could [1:05:59] give you plenty of others, too. Look at what they did to college sports. [1:06:03] Look what they did. You do know, I mean, this is maybe not a sporting environment, but NIL, it's a disaster. [1:06:15] College sports are a disaster. A judge made a horrible decision and the decision got carried up. [1:06:22] The appeal was terrible. And what they've done is destroyed college sports and destroying colleges [1:06:28] because colleges can't afford to pay quarterbacks that never threw a ball before that are 17 years [1:06:35] old, 12 million dollars to play college. [1:06:38] Because every college is going to go bankrupt. Other sports aren't going to be relevant. [1:06:45] Football is going to cause it all. Basketball to a much lesser extent. But your colleges are [1:06:51] going to go bankrupt. Did you see where Penn State lost five hundred and twenty five million [1:06:56] dollars? Can you believe it? One of the great schools of Florida lost four hundred and fifty [1:07:03] million dollars. Think of that. Four hundred. Because it's basically professional sports [1:07:10] without a cap. [1:07:13] And you can't have without a cap. And we had a good system. We had a scholarship system. Took a hundred years to hone and perfect and a judge who knew nothing about sports. A female, I believe. Not that that matters. I have to put that preface in there. A female, I believe, who knew nothing about sports. Totally upended all of sports. Hundreds of years of sports in our colleges. And now we have a mess like you've never seen before. [1:07:47] And you know who gets hit the hardest? Women. Because women's sports are being canceled all over college. And other sports that are more minor sports are being dropped. That means the Olympics are going to be a disaster because this was training grounds for the Olympics. We had unbelievable training grounds. And they had scholarships and everything. But they're being terminated because they want to be able to sign football players for four million, five million, ten million dollars. All because the courts decided to ban them. And they're being terminated because they want to be able to sign football players for four million, five million, ten million dollars. [1:08:18] All because the courts decided to terminate sports in colleges. And it's a very tough thing to get it back because you have all different sports, all different levels of competition. Nobody knows what to do. A woman, a judge, made a decision knowing nothing about what the hell she was doing. Courts, bad courts in this country are costing us a tremendous amount of money. And the Supreme Court, that's right, of the United States cost our country. All they needed was money. [1:08:50] All they needed was a sentence. Our country, hundreds of billions of dollars. And they couldn't care less. They couldn't care less. And not that it matters. It doesn't matter at all. But two of the people that voted for that, I appointed. And they sickened me. They sickened me. Because they're bad for our country. [1:09:12] We need a tough new crime bill that imposes harsh penalties for dangerous repeat offenders, cracks down on rogue judges and prosecutors. [1:09:23] And end... [1:09:23] No cash bail. No cash bail has caused a problem for our country like you wouldn't believe. Killers, they go in, they get out. They go in, they kill two times in one day sometimes. If our Republican majority stand up for these priorities, the American people will stand with us in record numbers. We have to be strong. We have to be tough. And we can't let these thugs on the other side of the aisle push us around. Because what they're doing right now is wrong. [1:09:56] And the public knows it. Now the public knows it. And they're on our side. But you have to fight. And you have to be tough. You have to be much tougher. And you have to stick together. Republicans have to stick together. So we won't just reelect our majorities this November. We'll expose the corruption and radicalism of the Democrat Party. It's a lunatic. It's a party of lunatics. We'll defeat the forces of national destruction. We'll complete our mission of national renewal. [1:10:26] And the Republicans... [1:10:27] And the Republicans... [1:10:28] And the Republicans... [1:10:28] And the Republicans... [1:10:28] And the Republicans... [1:10:28] The Republican Party will grow larger, stronger, and more dominant than ever before. We have a chance to do that. Because we're competing against lunatics. And the public knows it. And they're seeing it every single day. And together, with all of you, we will make America powerful again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America healthy again. We will make America healthy again. [1:11:01] America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. [1:11:11] And most importantly, we will make America great again. Thank you very much, [1:11:19] Republicans. Go out and win the midterms. Thank you very much.
