President Trump’s 2026 RNC Midterm Convention Speech

[0:22] Well, thank you very much everybody and Lee thank you. He's been with me right from the beginning. [0:27] You know, a lot of singers have wanted to introduce me. Once you win, they want to all [0:33] introduce you, you know. And I said, no way, nobody's introduced, only Lee. Lee's the only [0:38] one getting introduced. Thank you. Great honor. And friends, distinguished guests, [0:47] Vice President Vance, and the proud citizens of the United States of America, welcome to the first [0:54] ever midterm convention of any party. Took a little imagination to think of it, but we thought of it. [1:09] I'm sure it'll become a staple in the years to come, but this is the first ever for any party. [1:16] Two months ago, we came together to celebrate one of the most glorious days in history, the 250th [1:22] anniversary of our Declaration of Independence. And in 1776, our founders lit the immortal flame of [1:36] American liberty in Philadelphia. What a time that was tonight. We gather in the great state of Texas. [1:52] And by the way, I have to brag, it's a state I won all three times in massive landslides and got [1:58] the highest vote, got the highest vote in the history of Texas politics. Can you believe that? [2:11] But we all hold the flame high and carry it boldly forward. We love this state [2:16] and we love this country. That's all we can say. But what an honor it is to be in Texas. What a place. [2:23] What a place. Love it. [2:25] With your support, we will make our nation stronger, safer, richer, freer, and greater [2:32] than it has ever been before. That's what's happening. You know that's what's happening. [2:37] I wish the fake news would report it. There they are. Boy, that's a lot of fake news. [2:43] That's a lot of fake news. You have to remember when we originally announced this eight weeks ago, [2:51] they said, who's going to go to a midterm convention? That's never going to. This place is [2:57] packed. And not all this pack is a big arena. Not only is this pack, but you have an equal number of [3:11] people standing outside. If anybody would like to give up their seat or whatever they're, whatever, [3:17] if they're standing or if they have a seat, would anybody like to raise your hand to give up your seat? [3:21] I thought so. Now we have an amazing response. They love our party. They love what we're doing. [3:28] In 55 days, Americans will be going to the polls in one of the most important elections [3:34] in our country's history. Your vote will decide whether our country stumbles at the starting gate [3:40] of the next 250 years or surges forward and never ever looks back. [3:52] If we hand America's future to the radical left Democrats and our nation will spend the next decade [4:01] just getting back on its feet, it will be a tragedy. Vote Republican and we will leave the world in our [4:10] dust for generations to come. There'll be nothing like it. We're right at that gate. The choice in this [4:31] election is very, very simple. Democrats are asking you to vote for their failed far left agenda. It's [4:38] never worked that destroyed your finances and delivered you four years of disaster bedlam and [4:46] death under sleepy Joe Biden. And I'm asking you to let us finish the job. We began with the greatest two [4:55] years in the history of the presidency. This has been the most successful two years financially and every [5:02] other way in the history of the presidency. And together we will turn a two-year comeback into a [5:14] 250-year lead. We're never, nobody's ever had a start. It's not even two years, but we have more money [5:22] being spent from outside countries and companies over 20 trillion dollars. That's five, six, seven times [5:32] higher than any country ever, not just here, any country ever. 20 over 20. Remember I've been saying [5:39] 19.2, but now it's over 20 for less than two years, substantially less than two years. When the two-year [5:48] number comes out, that number could be 25 trillion dollars being invested here. The record, by the way, [5:55] think of it, over 20 trillion. The record, by the way, is another foreign land. You probably know [6:08] the land I'm talking about. In fact, the head of that land will be coming to the White House in two [6:12] weeks. Three trillion. So three trillion versus 20 trillion. But the 20 trillion after two years is [6:20] going to close to 23, 24, 25. Nobody's ever seen anything like it ever. And it probably will never happen [6:28] again. And I want you to remember me in four or five years when this country's rocketing. Remember, [6:33] I'm the one that got it started. Oh, look who we have. Front row Joes. Look at them. That's great. [7:00] And we have the great ladies from North Carolina. Can you imagine? So they've been to 217 rallies. [7:10] They're beautiful. They have wonderful husbands, but I never see the husbands. I think you're driving [7:16] your husbands crazy. No, they've been fans right from the beginning of our policy. I guess they like [7:22] me, but of our policy. And front row Joes, it's number 412, I think. What do they do for a living? [7:30] They make a lot of money, I think. But you guys are fantastic. Thank you very much. And we have a [7:36] special guest, Mr. Wall. I want to get a suit like that. Someday I'm going to go out and get a suit like [7:42] that. Where do you get it? I'll walk up here because we built over. Think of this. We built over [7:49] 1,400 miles of wall right on your Texas border. 1,400. And because of that, we have the great, [8:02] the greatest numbers ever on immigration. We stopped it cold. It was a disaster. It was [8:08] destroying our country. But we'll get onto that. When I'm on the ticket, Republicans always do very well. [8:15] We won the presidency three times. And we won two. By the way, now you notice numerous people on the [8:28] other side are actually admitting it. How about that? But this was a cool way of doing it. But we [8:34] won it big and we also won everything else because, you know, whatever it is, I was on the ticket, [8:40] people came and they did tremendously with the senators and with the congressmen. But for some reason, [8:46] when a president wins, even if he's really a good president or a great president, there aren't too [8:52] many of them, they don't win the midterms. And nobody quite knows why. It's two out of, think of [8:59] it, two out of 25 races. We're going to change that. There's no reason for it. There's no reason for it. [9:05] It's something deep down and psychological. You're going to have to explain it. But I've asked people, [9:13] what is the reason for it? If you have a president that's doing a great job, I don't think anybody's [9:18] ever had two years like we have. All over the world, they're admitting it. Other countries are [9:23] failing and failing badly. But I say, why is it that no matter how well you're doing, we seem not [9:29] a president, Democrat or Republican, almost never wins the midterms. We've got to change that because [9:36] we have something going that's so good, we can't let that string be broken. So I'm asking you to [9:47] pretend that I'm on the ballot. I'm on the ballot. I'm on the ballot. Just one more time. Because if we [9:57] lose, you're going to lose your border. You're going to lose your tax cuts. You're going to lose your [10:03] safety and security. You're going to lose your wealth. Our country is going through hell. You will be [10:09] going through hell just like you did just two years ago. We went through hell. We were a laughing [10:15] stock all over the world. We were laughing. They don't laugh at us anymore, do they? They don't laugh. [10:22] But that's what would happen. The pundits, the fake news media, the radical left communists will say [10:29] anything they can to try and stop us. But in this election, all that matters is that we are united. [10:37] We are together and what we say counts. That's all that matters. And on November 3rd, [10:49] the great American majority is going to stand up and continue to make America great again. [10:54] And we will make our voices heard perhaps like never before. That's the beautiful challenge that [11:02] the midterms are not supposed to be won by the sitting president. And we're going to change that [11:07] and we'll make it an even more important time in our country and presidency. It'll be something very [11:14] special. We have to do it. And you know, we have a very short period of time and we really have 35 races. [11:25] They all count. But we have 35 races that are, I guess you'd call the swings, right? Like we had seven [11:34] swing states. We won all seven, right? Now, so I said, not that I'm looking for the work. You know, [11:44] I said the other day, I've got so much of the schedule. I said, I thought I won. What do I have [11:49] to do? I'm campaigning. But I am. We're campaigning to make it incredible, to really make it great and [11:56] to keep it great. So I am going to visit and you have so many of those great senators. And I said, you [12:03] know, the ones I want here, we have some that are leading by 30 points and they've been there for 25 years. [12:08] I said, don't come, please. Don't come. The ones we need are the ones that you've heard, [12:13] the ones that are very close. They might be winning by a little or losing by a little or tied. [12:21] We can win every one of those races, but I'm going to go to every one of those states for congressmen [12:27] and for senators. I'm going to do that. And we're going to have rallies. We're going to have rallies just [12:48] like this. We're going to have big arenas loaded up with people. So the senators are great people. [12:54] So many just great people. Their policies are, you know, they're common sense. I heard so many of the [13:03] wonderful politicians that spoke. I watched a lot of them and they talked about common sense. [13:08] It's really about common sense more than anything else. It's not about the stupid policies that led us [13:14] down the drain. We were going down the drain. If we hadn't won the last election, [13:20] I'm not sure that our country right now would even exist. It was going so bad. So I'm going to go [13:28] to every one of them, about 35. In a couple of cases, I'll go twice and I'll do, I'll do tele-town halls [13:39] and I'll be coming back to Texas because we have to elect Ken Paxson. We have to. After I'll come back [13:58] twice or three times, I'll be, you'll say, get this guy out of here. Get him out. I'm going to be saying, [14:05] get him the hell out of here. He's here too much. No, I'll come once or twice or three. I'll come [14:11] whatever. We have to elect Ken Paxson together. We're going to continue to have, we have the [14:21] strongest borders now in the history of our country. We've never had anything. We have to have strong [14:26] borders. We have to continue low taxes. I gave you the biggest tax decrease in the history of our [14:32] country and no crime. We want no crime. We don't want crime. We'll have American energy independence, [14:41] something you know a lot about in Texas. And even we will have energy dominance. We will stand with [14:47] our heroes in the military, our veterans. We love our veterans and we take care of our veterans. 94% [14:55] and our great police and law enforcement. We love our police and law enforcement. And above all, [15:08] we'll, and I think it's so important because there is a crazy little sick cloud over our country. I, [15:16] I really believe it's not going anywhere, but we have to make sure because we will defeat communism [15:22] in America and vote for American freedom. We will just vote very simply for American freedom. And a [15:33] big part of that American freedom is going to be electing Ken. We have to elect him. He's really [15:40] something special. The fact is in some, and I have to say this about Ken. It's so insulting, [15:48] and I hope he doesn't get insulted. They said, sir, you can't say that. I said, I have to. [15:55] They didn't even put it on the teleprompter, but I don't use the teleprompter that much. [15:59] They said, sir, you can't say it. You just please. It's not good. But I said it once before, [16:07] and he went through the roof. I got to say it again. So they just said how wonderful he is and [16:12] how we have to, but I, I said it a little differently because the fact is that some [16:17] may not like the way he dresses. I don't. Although tonight he looked very spiffy in his blue suit. I [16:25] must tell you, but they may not like the way he talks. They, I can see that, you know, not everybody. [16:38] A lot of people don't like the way I talk either, but we do get crowds. There's no question. [16:43] And then they say, you can't say this, sir. That's so insulting. Please, sir. [16:49] These are my analysts that get a lot of money for telling me a lot of nonsense. [16:56] Sir, please don't, sir. So I talked about dress. I talked about talk. And I even said this, [17:02] but you know, some people don't like the way I look either. You may not like the way he looks, [17:07] but here's the news. In the history of Texas, he is the single greatest attorney general you've ever [17:15] had and maybe the top attorney general in the whole United States. So I am very sorry, Ted. [17:24] I hate it today. And I'll go backstage. Sir, you shouldn't have said that. You've given them a [17:34] saying, but let me tell you, it's true. He may not dress right. He may not talk exactly perfectly, [17:40] and he may not be the best looking guy I've ever seen, but you know what he is? He's the greatest [17:46] attorney general in America and he deserves to be your next senator. I'm sorry, Ken. Where the hell [17:59] is he? I'm so sorry. He'll never speak to me again, but that's okay. We have to. But he's a great guy. [18:06] And I know for a fact because he fought with us so much. He took us. We have the wall because of him. [18:13] We have so many victories because of Ken. We didn't have the wall. We'd be overrun [18:19] instead of having zero. You know, we had zero for the last zero people for the last 16 months. Can [18:26] you believe it? We had 25 million come in under Biden. Zero. But you know what? Without the wall, [18:31] that he was instrumental along with Greg Abbott, by the way, and by the way, and by the way, [18:39] both senators, both senators, see, I'm being very nice. Ted Cruz worked very hard on the wall, [18:49] and so did John Cornyn. So did John Cornyn. They both did. Both senators. We had a lot of support, [18:58] but without the wall, you know, we built this massive, beautiful, great wall. Beautiful because [19:02] it works. We could never have the numbers that we have, which is right now. Think of it. And these are [19:07] made up by Democrats, the people that do these statistics. Zero illegal aliens have entered [19:14] our country from the southern border in the last 15 months. Zero. So the Democrats, [19:30] so the Democrats, as I call them, that was the other thing. They said, sir, don't use. This is a very [19:52] important speech. I said, is it of the importance of State of the Union? They said, maybe not, [20:00] although I like this arena very much. But they said, please, please, you know, State of the [20:08] Union, you have diverse state. That's much easier to do than what I do. Believe me, that's easy to do. [20:13] Ladies and gentlemen, it's an honor to be your president. Thank you. And you do that for about [20:18] an hour and then everybody's falling asleep. This is a much, this is a much harder routine, [20:23] let me tell you. But we're also out here to have a little bit of fun. So, and I just came up, [20:35] I can't believe it's been, I've been doing this for like 10 years. It just came up, [20:39] which isn't wrong if you're president, to be honest with you. A lot of guys over there, [20:43] they're a lot, they're a hell of a lot longer and they're not president. They're my friends. [20:47] I let them know that all the time, by the way. But I just came up with it a couple of months ago [20:53] and I said, you know, you take out the E and you replace it with a U. And nobody knows that dumb has [21:02] a B at the end of it. Most people think it's D-U-M and that's fine. So we take out the E, [21:10] we replace it with a U and they're Democrats because their policy is so bad. It's so bad. [21:17] And I usually don't like talking about how bad, like for instance, men playing in women's sports. [21:28] Okay. And I don't like to do it much before the election. I like to wait about a week before [21:36] the election. I'm doing it much too early because I'm petrified that they'll change. And they'll say, [21:43] you know what? Men should not be playing in women's sports. And that will really hurt us. [21:47] That's one of our great sound bites of all time. And I thought after we won in a landslide in the [21:53] last election, they would change that. But I saw two senators and a congressman in the last week and a [21:58] half on television fighting like hell for men to play in women's sports. And I hope they continue to do [22:06] that. They say it's an 80 20 issue. I say it's a 99 to one. And I have no idea who the one is. I have [22:16] no idea. You saw the two great fighters. I was so honored to have them world champions. And I watched [22:26] them for a little while. And I was going to ask Bo Nickel hasn't been defeated in years. And Justin [22:33] Gaethje, who is unbelievable. You saw that fight at the White House. It was the most violent fight. [22:38] I've said, Justin, Bo, come here a minute. Do you have any fear of fighting a particular woman? [22:46] They didn't even know what the hell I was talking about. They said, what's wrong with this guy asking [22:50] me such a stupid question? Anyway, we love the women. It's actually very demeaning what they're [22:57] doing to women, if you want to know the truth. So the Democrats gave us the worst and most dangerous [23:05] border in American history with 25 million illegal aliens pouring in. Can you imagine? [23:10] 25 million illegal aliens pouring in totally unchecked, unvetted, including gang members, [23:18] human traffickers, child predators, 1,000. Think of this. We had thousands, 11,888 murderers. And [23:29] you've heard me say this because that's the exact number, 11,888 murderers, many of whom over 50% [23:37] killed more than one person. They allowed them to come in to the country. I guess they think they're [23:44] going to reform. They're going to be wonderful people. They'll be the head of a bank someday. [23:51] But today we have the strongest and most secure border in our country's history. And you saw the [24:03] numbers. They came out just last week. We have the lowest level of illegal immigration ever recorded in [24:10] our country. And as I said, in the past exactly 16 months, these are government stats. This is not [24:21] Donald Trump. This is government. Although I think I have more credibility than government. [24:27] But in the past 16 months, a historic record of zero done by Democrats, mostly a couple of Republicans, [24:36] I guess, but done by Democrats. Zero illegal aliens have been admitted into the United States through [24:44] your border on Texas in Texas. And therefore zero have been admitted into Texas where they used to be [24:56] running around, running rampant, killing people, destroying many houses and farms and ruining property [25:03] values and creating havoc all over the state of Texas. You know that. I watched so often where [25:12] they're interviewing people on the border and long beyond the border, hundreds of miles away from [25:16] the border and their farm, their houses was overrun. And I saw a program last week where they were [25:23] interviewing a man who was on a show, one of the shows, I don't want to say because it's a terrible show, [25:29] on a terrible network, but they're all sort of terrible. You know, they're all fake, a lot of fake news. [25:33] I couldn't believe it. In fact, they're probably going to fire the producer of that segment. They [25:37] went to him and they said, how was it before? They said it was horrible. I was living in hell. [25:44] But since President Trump got elected, we haven't had one single incident. Nobody's charging our house. [25:52] Nobody's holding us up. Nobody's threatening to beat us up. He said it's like it's a very good [26:02] statement. Actually, he said it's like we're living in a different country between now [26:07] and two years ago. And we know that. But we've designated the cartels, as you know, as foreign [26:15] terrorist organizations, something which no other president had the courage to do. And we're using [26:21] our military force to totally decimate them. You probably noticed that the flow of fentanyl [26:27] coming across our borders down 67 percent and fentanyl and other drugs coming in through the oceans and [26:39] the seas and most importantly, the Gulf of America. Thank you. By the way, you know, I just put out [27:05] because, you know, Lake Ontario, we're going to call that now Lake America. Although maybe it's going to [27:13] work out. Canada very much wants to make a deal. They're dying to make a deal. But it's going to be [27:17] called Lake America. The other one we came up with today. Well, we could go into oceans like the [27:22] Pacific Ocean or the Atlantic. We can't have both. I don't think you can do both. That's true. [27:29] But we did come up with one the other day, which we think is appropriate. You have a [27:32] neighboring state, New Mexico. We think it should be called New America. [27:37] I'll tell you, the people love the idea. I don't know about the radical left. I'm sure it doesn't like [27:50] it, but the people love it. New America. Your neighbor is called New America. But the Democrats [27:59] very simply put handcuffs on our police and we put handcuffs on criminals. There's a big difference. [28:06] They handcuff our police. And last year, I think you saw this, we achieved the largest drop in violent [28:13] crime ever recorded in the history of our country with the murder rate falling to the lowest level in [28:19] 125 years, the year 1900. And that's despite the fact that, you know, we've removed tremendous [28:32] numbers of people and we focus on the bad ones and we got some really bad, some of the worst killers [28:37] you'll ever imagine. But that's despite the fact that some of these people, so many have come in. [28:43] Again, we've gotten a lot of them out. I can say most, but soon it will be most of them out. We're [28:48] working like hell to get them the hell out of here. But that's despite the lowest murder rate [28:57] since the year 1900. That's big stuff. That's long before my father was born. I had a great father. [29:05] He was born after that number. He never liked talking about age. So he's looking down at me saying, [29:11] what do you have to mention that for son? Our predecessors killed and buried the American dream [29:18] with trillions of dollars in waste and green energy scams, the greatest scams in American history, [29:24] green energy. They didn't even know. Most of them had no idea what it was. They just said, [29:28] let's go green. And every country that's gone green is down the tubes. You do know that? [29:33] But it caused prices to skyrocket. They used the word affordability, right? It's fake. They are so fake [29:42] because it was them that caused the affordability, to use their word, crisis. And I'm bringing the [29:51] prices way down, way, way down. They caused the price. But we're fixing it. We're fixing it. Now, [29:59] my first time, if you remember, I won the election. And then January 20th, you take office. And I had my [30:07] first news conference like on January 21st. And those people right there recognized many of them, [30:14] the fake news. And they started screaming. They started screaming at me. It's a word they use, [30:20] affordability. They said, what about affordability? And I said, what about affordability? Tell me. [30:27] They said, eggs are up four times since your administration. I said, well, I didn't really [30:35] know that. I just got here like today. It's my second day. By the way, through Brooke, who you just saw [30:43] speak, we got eggs down lower than during my administration. And food prices and almost every [30:53] other item are rapidly going down. And by the way, oil will be going down as soon as we win the war with [30:59] Iran, which is taking place right now. We'll win it. We're winning it. We control the hormones straight. [31:08] I think we should call the hormones straight. We should call it the Trump straight. I should get something [31:15] out of here. The Trump straight. It's going to be called, ladies and gentlemen, I'll have an [31:26] announcement. We'll call it the Trump straight. And I'm sure the Iranian leadership will be thrilled [31:32] with that. They'll be thrilled. I'd like to tell you what was their idea. It was not their idea. [31:41] Don't think they're too happy about, I don't think they're too happy about anything. Their country is [31:45] falling apart. They've been the bully of the Middle East for 51 years, and they're not the bully anymore. [31:51] Two years ago, our country was dead. Now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. Hottest [31:56] in the world. The stock markets, all of them, have set 80 all-time records since the election. [32:09] So you're talking about a little more than a year and a half. 80 days during that period of time, [32:16] the stock market has set an all-time record. And maybe very importantly for some of the people, [32:21] although they bear some relationship, the typical Americans 401k has gone up by almost $50,000, [32:35] and unemployment claims have reached the lowest level ever recorded. I mean, we're doing well. [32:43] I only wish the fake news would give us credit for what's happening. There's never been anything [32:48] like it. I told you about the investment. The investment in our country is record, but everything. [32:54] Right now, in the United States of America, we have more people working than we have ever had before [33:02] by a lot. By a lot. The last Democrat Congress took thousands of dollars out of your pocket. [33:15] Our Republican Congress, and by the way, we have, I think we'll go down as the greatest Speaker of the [33:22] House. In the history, in the history of our country, Mike Johnson. He's amazing. Think of it. [33:45] He's got a majority of three, and three of them aren't the best people, I will tell you. And we just [33:54] get approving, approving. We get more stuff, including the great big beautiful bill, the greatest bill [34:00] baby ever passed. Thank you. Great job. He's a fine person too. And John Thune is here from the Senate. [34:12] Where's John? Where's John? No, no. John is, John is working hard. He's got great opposition. [34:21] He's got great opposition from the Democrat. Schumer and these guys, they're terrible. [34:27] He's got great opposition. He's working very hard. He's going to, he's going to have, he's going to [34:31] have great success. You watch. He's going to have, we are going to have great, great success with our [34:38] Republican senators. And by the way, we have great, we have great Republican senators. David, [34:44] thank you for being here. Eric, thank you for being, looking at our people over there. [34:52] Thank you all for being here. We appreciate it. But our Republican Congress puts thousands of dollars [34:59] into the pockets of working families with the largest tax cuts in the history of our country. [35:05] So we had the largest in history. We gave you no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, [35:12] and no tax on social security for our great seniors. And that's done. That's done. And we also made [35:24] interest payments. Think of this. People go out, they buy a car, they borrow money. Many people borrow [35:30] money. And we got tax deductibility of your interest payment all against your income tax. And people are [35:39] loving it and they're using it. And it's great for our car industry, which is by the way, setting new records. [35:44] We're building car plants all over the United States. For 48 years, we built none. Now we're [35:49] building them all over. Honda's coming in, building one of the biggest in the world. Toyota is building [35:54] one of the biggest. General Motors is going wild. Ford is going, they're all doing great. It's like [36:01] the golden age of America. It's a golden age of the automobile business. But that interest is tax [36:07] deductible. But what's the caveat? Only if the car is made in America. With the help of our great [36:31] energy workers here in Texas, our country is producing more oil and gas today than ever before. [36:38] Now listen to this. More than Russia and Saudi Arabia combined. How about that? And you remember [36:51] during the campaign. I love that campaign. But I love the second one, too. I love that one, too. [36:58] But they cheat. We can't let that happen. They cheat. That's why we want to pass the Save America Act to [37:04] stop the change. And we will. You know, we have tremendous opposition because you know what they're [37:43] talking about. They're talking about we want voter ID, voter identification. Ideally, ideally, we want it with a [37:55] photo. So that when I see Tim Scott, who made a great speech tonight, by the way, I watched it. Senator Tim [38:04] Scott, South Carolina. So when he speaks, I won't get him mixed up with, let's see who's over there, with [38:13] Scott Besant. Okay, I want a photo ID. So Tim and Scott don't get mixed up. Now, the only reason the [38:23] Democrats are fighting us on voter ID. And you know what the second is? Proof of citizenship. [38:32] Okay. So the only reason they're fighting us is because they want to cheat. There's no other reason. [38:40] But you have to admit they're really good at this stuff. They come up with more excuses. They say [38:45] it's important not to have voter ID because it's extraordinarily difficult for some people. It's [38:51] they have more bullshit than any human beings on the planet. So they're fighting us. A hundred percent, [39:13] think of it, of the Democrats voted against voter ID. And a hundred percent of the Democrats, [39:20] hundred percent. And you know, the Democrat voters actually like it. It polls at 87 percent [39:26] for the whole voting public. A hundred percent of the Democrats voted against all these things, [39:33] tax cuts, everything else. But they voted against voter ID. And they voted against proof of citizenship. [39:40] Like, sir, excuse me, sir. Are you a citizen of the United States? It's none of your business. [39:46] I'm voting. Can you believe this? A hundred percent. And most Republicans, most, not quite all, [39:57] you'll have to check them out, but not quite all. But most Republicans, almost all Republicans voted for [40:04] it. But we have a huge, a huge block. It's the Democrats. They don't want to have voter ID. They [40:09] don't want to have proof of citizenship. I think it's a disgrace. But getting back to oil. Okay. We, we, [40:17] you are doing, and as I said, you're the biggest, we're now the biggest in the world. We were nowhere near [40:22] that. Now we're the biggest in the world. And that's without Venezuela, which we've just added to [40:28] our little stockpile. It's, it's the biggest oil deal. And probably it's the biggest deal [40:39] in the history of our country. 65 billion barrels are ours. And you know what they say it is? Lifetime. [40:48] 500 years. And you know, in Venezuela, you know how you find the oil, you know, the way Exxon and [40:56] Chevron, they go around looking, they hire these geniuses. They pay millions of dollars. They spend [41:00] millions and millions for equipment. They go all over the world looking, they can't find it. [41:05] In Venezuela, what you do is the following. You look on the ground and you see ground that's soaking wet [41:16] with oil. And you say, let's build our rig right there. There's really nothing like it. And we have [41:26] a great relationship. But by the way, I'd like to thank Pete Hegseth. And I'd like to thank, I'd like [41:34] to thank General King. Where is General King? I'd like to thank, they're here someplace. This is our big [41:43] room. This place is packed. Do you think the fake news, you know what they're going to do? The fake news [41:48] will go around and see that man up there? He's leaving for the bathroom. He'll be back in two [41:52] minutes. They'll take a picture of his seat while he's gone. And they'll say, Trump did not fill up [42:00] the arena. The arena was not filled. Look at the seat. So please, if you don't mind, don't anybody go to [42:08] the bathroom. No, we had it recently. So Darlene Graham, Lindsey, we loved Lindsey. Lindsey was a great [42:19] guy. Good guy. And he's looking down and he's smiling. But he was a good guy. And he has a great [42:26] sister. But she never did politics before. And we had a rally in South Carolina. And it was great. [42:34] It was this really, thank you, right? And it was this really big, it was this really beautiful big [42:43] arena. But it was, you know, more of like a convention area. And not that big from the standpoint [42:49] of like this, this is a big Dallas Mavericks team, which is going to be hopefully good. I don't [42:54] understand. I must tell you, I don't understand the trade. That trade is not good. What do I know [43:01] about basketball? I would say that was not going to, it's not going to go down as the greatest trade [43:06] in the history of sports. It might go down as the worst trade in the history of sports. No, actually, [43:13] okay, you know the worst trade in the history of sports, right? The great Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth, [43:18] 19-year-old pitcher for 36-year-old third baseman and $100,000. At that time, that was like [43:25] 10 million, I guess, because Boston needed money. So Babe will always be the worst trade. But [43:32] is it Lukács? That's not good. That wasn't good. Maybe we could redo that trade. I redo deals all the [43:43] time. We got to redo. We got to redo that deal. I don't get that deal. You know, some deals you [43:50] understand. I understand deals, but that one I didn't quite get. Somebody from Dallas, I'm sure, [43:56] can explain it to me. But with Venezuela, Texas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, [44:04] our great Senator David, thank you, and all of our other incredible states, we're more powerful now [44:11] than OPEC. And prices right after this very important election on November 3rd will be plummeting. The [44:18] war will be over very shortly after the election. They're hanging out for dear life, hoping that we [44:23] lose so they can deal with dumb, weak Democrats, and they can have their nuclear bomb. But we're [44:30] not going to let that happen. So they're going to be quitting or dropping out or who knows what the [44:40] hell, whatever it is, right after Election Day, because they want to deal, desperately want to deal with [44:47] Democrats like Obama, Barack Hussein Obama. Have you heard of him? Barack Hussein Obama made a deal, [44:55] JCPOA, one of the worst deals in the history. It was a road to a nuclear weapon for Iran, [45:02] or Sleepy Joe. Sleepy Joe gave them everything. They thought they could buy their way into a deal, [45:08] and instead they used all the money they got to create nuclear weapons, and they got very close. [45:13] And if we didn't hit them, two things, if I didn't cancel the JCPOA, and if we didn't hit them [45:22] with our beautiful, the wing, our beautiful B-2 bombers, they would have a nuclear weapon right [45:29] now, and I would be addressing them as Supreme Leader. Mr. Supreme Leader, sir, how are you? [45:36] And now I don't have to do that. If they had a nuclear weapon, I'd be calling the Supreme Leader, [45:41] and I'd be saying, Mr. Supreme Leader, how are you, sir? Is there anything we can do for you? [45:46] As opposed to bombing the crap out of them. We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. It's very [45:59] simple. We cannot let them have a nuclear weapon. You know, I decided to do this. We had the best [46:05] reports that our country has ever had, and I went to Scott Besant. I went to Howard. I went to all of [46:11] our guys. I said, you know, I'm sorry to do this to you. We just announced record. Our stock market hit [46:16] records. By the way, our stock market is much higher today than it was when I first did the [46:20] attack, just so you know. But our stock market hit records. We were doing great, and oil was low. [46:26] I was in Iowa. The oil was at $1.85 a gallon for cars. There was another one, $1.95, but I saw that [46:34] last one, $1.85. We were doing great. I called them all into the office. I said, fellas, I hate to do [46:40] this to you. We have the best records we've ever had, but we have a country that's two, maybe three [46:48] weeks away from having a nuclear weapon, and it's the state sponsor of terror all over the world, [46:54] considered just about the most evil country. We cannot let them have a nuclear weapon. And a couple [47:02] of them, including Scott, who's a great financial guy, sir, is there any time we could do it later, maybe, [47:07] sir? You think you could hold off in this a little bit, sir? I said, no, because if we don't hit them now, [47:13] they're going to have a nuclear weapon within one month. You know, the places we bombed would [47:16] have been turned into nuclear nuclear weapons. I call it nuclear dust right now, but the nuclear [47:22] dust can get very violent, and we hit them really hard. We did an amazing job. Those B-2 bombers came [47:28] in from Missouri, from Missouri, the home of Eric Schmidt, came in from the great state of Missouri. They flew [47:43] for 37 hours back and forth. They refueled four times up in the air, and they bombed the hell out of [47:52] them, and they knocked them out. And we may have to do it. There's another place called Pickaxe Mountain, [48:03] another nice place. We may have to give them a shot there, too, because somebody said there was a little [48:08] movement at the side. We don't need much. We see everything. You know, because of the Space Force, [48:13] which was my baby, I have to say, the first time. We can see everything. We can see the tag on their [48:22] coat. Mohammed Al-Fayed. It's never Mohammed, it's never Mohammed Jones, Mohammed Al-Azuri. [48:40] And it says right on this tag, we can read it from space. Can you believe this? Thousands of miles away, [48:46] and we're reading somebody's. We know exactly what's going on. But we notice there's a little [48:51] activity at Pickaxe. I would advise Iran not to get cute, because we will have to hit them very hard. [48:57] We have no choice, right? We have no choice. Does anybody here think that Iran should have a nuclear [49:04] weapon? Anybody? Who feels Iran should not have a nuclear weapon? You know, it happens to me all the [49:18] time. Guys come up, you know, I wish you didn't do the war in Iran, gasoline, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. [49:24] And I say, well, let me ask you just smart people. Let me ask you, not too many of them, [49:28] by the way. Let me ask you one question. Can Iran have a nuclear weapon? Absolutely not. Well, [49:35] then I'm right that I win. Okay. Because, you know, for 51 years, they always say 47, [49:42] but, you know, I've been saying that for four years. For 51 years, people have been trying to, [49:48] and other presidents, have been trying to talk them out of it. But they don't understand talk, [49:53] these people. They don't understand. They only understand one thing, and that's, [49:57] they're getting plenty of it. Between our Venezuela and oil deal, all of our [50:02] new mineral deals, trillions and trillions of dollars that were taken in with my most favorite [50:09] word, but now I moved it to fifth place, you know. Because the press, for the few people that [50:15] haven't heard this story, tariff. I said tariff is my favorite word in the whole picture. My favorite. [50:25] I love the word. And I said that at one of the big rallies I had a while ago. Tariffs are my [50:32] favorite word. It's going to make America rich. It's making us much richer than we ever thought, [50:36] but we're taking in trillions of dollars. Okay. But I said tariff is my favorite word, [50:42] and the fake news went crazy. They said, what about love? What about wife? What about God, [50:48] religion, family? So I moved tariff down to fifth. And now I'm okay. Now I'm okay. They've been leaving [51:00] me alone. Oh, they hit me hard. They hit me hard. They said tariff. What about religion? [51:06] So I moved it to fifth and now they've been pretty good. I'm surprised they didn't move me [51:10] deeper. But trillions of dollars in tariff revenue have come in and record investments from foreign [51:17] countries and our enormous new equity stakes and major companies. I did something. I'm getting [51:23] killed for it. Intel. Intel is a good, really good company. But what happened is stupid presidents [51:33] allowed the chip business to leave our country and go to Taiwan and stupid. All they had to do is put [51:40] tariffs on. They wouldn't have left. In other words, Taiwan, you're going to sell chips to America. You got to [51:44] pay 100 percent. You got to pay 200 percent, 50 percent, anything. And you wouldn't have had. But they [51:49] didn't do that until I came along. And what happened is Intel became old and tired and got in trouble. [51:58] And they came to see me. The head of Intel was a nice man, actually. And he said, sir, I need your help. [52:05] And he said, why? Whatever it was. And I said, well, you came to the right place. I'm the only one that can [52:10] help you. I was there with Scott and Howard Lutnik, our commerce secretary is doing a good [52:17] job and a couple of others. I said, I'm the only one that can I'm the only one that can help you. [52:24] I said, here's a deal. Give the United States of America 10 percent of Intel. Now the thing was worth [52:31] like 120 billion dollars. You know, it lost its way, but it's still worth a lot of money. I say, [52:37] give the United States of America 10 percent of Intel and I'll get this problem solved for you. [52:45] He stood up immediately and he said, you have a deal. And I said, I should have asked for more. [52:50] I said to my guys, what the hell is wrong with me? But anyway, I shook his hand. But that was worth [52:57] 12 billion. So in one meeting, I picked up 12 billion. But what's happened? Well, that's that's not [53:04] even the good part, because what happened to Intel is amazing. It like became the number one [53:10] stock on the exchange, various exchanges, by the way. And I don't know, I see Scott up there. [53:17] He made a great speech, by the way. I see Scott. Scott, how many times has it doubled and tripled [53:22] and quadrupled? What's it now, Scott? How much is it worth? He said five times. No, it's worth like, [53:32] I think we made a 60 billion dollar profit, something like that. If I'm wrong, they'll say, [53:37] if I'm wrong, they'll say horrible. So let me lower the numbers just because if I'm wrong, [53:43] they'll say he exaggerated the number. But it went up like four or five times, we made 50 or 60 [53:49] billion dollars in just a number of months. And it's one of the hottest stocks on the stock exchanges, [53:58] because it's numerous exchanges and more than one. And it's been amazing. Do I get credit for it? No. [54:04] Do I get credit for building a ballroom with my money? I'm the only one. I build a ballroom, [54:12] no money, no tax. I don't want tax money. I don't want anything. It's me and the guns are [54:16] patriots. They put up lots of money to build this, which is desperately needed. And it's going to be [54:21] beautiful. And everyone's going to say, oh, thank God. No, it's going to be beautiful. Zero tax dollars [54:28] for the ballroom, zero tax dollars. And what happens? I get criticized. It's the most incredible [54:34] thing. Anybody else would do that. They'd say, what a nice gesture. So I'm giving you a ballroom free of [54:40] charge. Okay. That's all I can tell you. It will be the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world. [54:48] It'll be the best. And it's, by the way, drone proof, bullet proof, everything proof. It's got glass [54:54] this thick, six inches thick. It's going to be great. It's going to be a little safer than [54:59] the place that we happened to have that little White House correspondence. Did you remember that? [55:04] That was that, that was not the safest feeling. This is going to be great. But we give it to you, [55:10] tax free, and I hope you enjoy it. You know, the other thing is that I'm only going to get to use [55:15] it a few months. It's going to be built. We're on time. We're under budget, actually, and ahead of [55:20] schedule. And I'll only get to use it. People forget. You know, they say, he's building a ballroom [55:25] for himself. No, I'll be there for a few months. I'd love to have it for a long time. But they've wanted [55:31] a ballroom at the White House presidents for 150 years. You know, we have the president of China coming in [55:37] two weeks who's, you know, I get along great with them. We have a very good, that's better. You [55:42] know, it's a good thing, not a bad thing. Some people say, oh, it's terrible. That's a very good [55:45] thing. But we have like 101 people. We could have 2000 people. I could have this whole stadium would [55:52] like to go there. So we're building something that's going to be the most beautiful anywhere in [55:58] the world. When I was in China, they have a building. It's called the Great Hall of China. [56:02] It's a serious hall. This is a very large hall. But we're going to top it. You know, [56:07] we're going to top it. And it's going to be at the White House and all these presidents to come, [56:11] hopefully mostly Republicans, but Democrats also are going to be very thankful that they have it. [56:17] And it's going to be an honor to do it. And I just want to say that the radical left [56:22] Democrats will not have and could not have. And this is very important because I'm getting to maybe, [56:28] maybe what will be the best part of the speech. So why I, because I love the weave. You know what [56:36] the weave is? You talk about something, then you bring in a ballroom, or you bring in an airplane, [56:42] or you bring in Air Force One. But you notice, I always get right back to the same topic. Now, [56:48] when I don't come back, she's great. He says, I love Melania. She's doing a good job. [56:55] So when someday there'll be a time when I do the weave is weave, weave. Someday there'll be a time [57:03] when I don't get back to the original subject. And then you can say he's had it. Okay. You can say [57:14] then he's happy. But what we're doing is because we've done so well, and because our country is making [57:22] so much money that only I can make this promise to you. And here is my promise. [57:29] If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, [57:35] both of them, because of our economic, tremendous economic success, like in history, [57:43] we've never had anything like what's happening. But because of our tremendous strength and success [57:49] economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000. [57:58] $5,000. Pretty much like a successful company will do a cash distribution to its shareholders. [58:23] Or like last year, when I gave our great members of the military $1,776. Remember, [58:33] I gave it to our military $1,776. Can you believe that the number was $1,775? And I said, you know, [58:41] if we had $1, we're at $1,776. I said, did anybody think of that? No. But we gave our great military [58:51] $1,776. And they are thrilled. Every time I see them, they thank me. But this is what we're doing. [58:59] And it was greatly appreciated, just like I did with the Trump accounts for children, where young [59:05] people, children, and many of them born into poverty or families with very little money or future, [59:16] will be potentially rich when they turn 18 or 21. Think of it. Their family won't have much money. [59:21] But the government is putting $1,000 into an account for beautiful babies born. But in many cases, [59:30] they're born into poverty. They're born poor. They're born not rich, but they get $1,000. And [59:36] we do matching funds and all sorts of things. And Michael and Susan Dell, he put up, think of this, [59:49] he put up $6,250,000,000. So far, he's a large... Anybody in the room like to challenge that number [59:58] and put up a little bit? So go out and buy his computers. He's a very good guy. Now they'll say, [1:00:04] oh, he's making a political... I'm not making... The guy gave us $6,250,000,000. And he did that, [1:00:11] not because he had to, because he really wanted to do it. And children are going to turn 18 or 19 or 20 [1:00:18] or 21. They're going to have an account. And if the market is good, like if the market's like today, [1:00:22] they become quite rich at a very young age, instead of having no money whatsoever. It's an amazing thing [1:00:29] and very popular. We have other people, by the way. We have other rich people. They took the entire [1:00:40] state. Somebody put up the entire state of Indiana, putting up money for every child born in the entire [1:00:46] state. Brad, thank you very much. But the only condition on the payment of this [1:00:52] dividend that we're going to be making, so it's $5,000 to every adult. The only caveat I have is [1:01:01] that the dividend that we're making must be spent in the United States of America. We don't want you... [1:01:08] We don't want you going to Canada to spend the money. We don't want you going to China, to Germany. [1:01:20] You got to spend the money in the United States of America. In other words, if the Republicans win, [1:01:26] if you win, we might not win. The reason the Democrats can't do that is because they don't do [1:01:32] tariffs. They don't take in money. All they know is poverty and how to ruin our country. But we're [1:01:37] making a fortune. So if the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000. It will be called [1:01:46] the Trump dividend. We'll call it the Trump dividend. Congratulations. Now all we have to do, [1:01:58] now all we have to do is win. Under my leadership, we also made our historic most favored nation [1:02:05] agreements on drug prices. Nobody thought it was possible. For decades, Americans paid the highest [1:02:10] prices for prescription drugs anywhere in the world. We paid the highest drug prices in the world. And now, [1:02:17] because of what I did with Bobby Kennedy, who's over there, with Dr. Oz, who's over there. Thank you. [1:02:41] Bobby, Dr. Oz, we have a great group. So we went from the highest prices by far in the world, [1:02:48] and now we pay the lowest prices in the entire world for prescription drugs. And nobody wants to [1:02:58] write a story about it. I'm trying to get the press. I think it's one of the biggest things to happen [1:03:03] medically, healthcare-wise, in history. I cannot get a story out of it. I'm trying. I'm saying, [1:03:09] would you please tell the people how great I am, please? But I'm giving you the largest prescription [1:03:16] drug price cuts in history, with differences of 400, 500, and even 600 percent. Think of that. And [1:03:28] that alone should win the midterms, honestly. If we did nothing else, that should, because everybody [1:03:35] said, other presidents tried and they failed. They weren't able to do it. But I would call countries. [1:03:41] The big problem, I got the drug companies to do it. But I would call, but they knew that I couldn't [1:03:44] get it from countries. Never got it. I would call France. I would call other countries. In the case [1:03:49] of France, I would speak to President Macron, beautiful accent, wonderful guy, say, Emmanuel, [1:03:58] please, please do us a favor. You have to double or triple the drug prices in France, if you don't mind, [1:04:04] because you're paying $10 for a pill and we're paying $130 for the same pill. So the concept is [1:04:11] they'll go up somewhat and we'll come way down because the world is bigger than us. So it's [1:04:16] disproportionate down. So he said, no, no, no, I will not do that, Donald. Why would I do a thing? [1:04:22] I said, you have no choice. You're going to do it. He said, no, no, I will not do that, Donald. You [1:04:26] don't understand. I will not do that, Mr. President. I said, yes, you will. I will tell you, [1:04:30] you will do it because if you don't do it, I am putting a 150% tariff on all wines and everything [1:04:37] else coming into the United States. And he said, Donald, you really can't do that. I said, yes, [1:04:47] I can. I have the papers in front of me. I'm going to sign them right now. He said, Donald, [1:04:50] I would love to do that. So he agreed and had the same conversation with about 25 other countries. [1:04:57] He had to get their approval, got everybody's approval. It was whether it's wine, champagne, [1:05:02] cars. It was always something. Everybody's got a weak spot. Remember that in life. Everybody has [1:05:06] a weak spot. I won't tell you what my weak spot is. I refuse to say. But on the world stage, [1:05:13] America is respected again, like we have never been respected before. That I can tell you. [1:05:19] And here at home, we ended the woke madness Democrats cruelly inflicted upon America. We abolished [1:05:31] all of the diversity, equity and inclusion mandates across the federal government. We made English [1:05:41] the official language of the United States. We banned transgender ideology and critical race theory [1:05:53] from our public schools and ended the transgender mutilization of our children. There will be no [1:06:02] more mutilization, which is what it was of our children. And so importantly, we will not have men [1:06:10] playing in women's sports. It won't happen. And every single Democrat in Congress voted against our tax cuts. [1:06:20] They voted against no tax on tips. This is every single one. It's incredible that Congress, [1:06:27] the Senate, the House, that they were able to get this passed. They voted against no tax on tips. They [1:06:34] voted against no tax on overtime. They voted against a hundred percent. No tax on social security for our [1:06:41] great seniors. They want to raise your taxes on social security. They want to raise your taxes on tips. [1:06:49] They want to take, they want to get rid of no tax on tips. They want to get rid of no tax on social [1:06:55] security for the seniors. They want to get rid of, think of it. The overtime now is going wild. Companies [1:07:02] love it. The people love it. They don't have to pay tax when they work overtime. They're working the longest [1:07:06] hours. It's great. It's like a great incentive. They want to get rid of no tax on overtime. Every Democrat [1:07:13] voted against funding for the border security bill. They voted against funding on everything, [1:07:18] the wall. They voted against voter ID. They voted against proof of citizenship. They voted against [1:07:24] funding for our military and for our vets. They voted in favor. They voted in favor of transgender, [1:07:33] everything taxpayer funded child mutilization. And they voted in favor of men playing in women's sports. [1:07:40] Congressional Democrats voted against the American people every single time. And now, [1:07:49] they want you to vote yes on handing them the majority so they can take us back. They want to [1:07:56] take back every single thing that Republicans, through a lot of really hard work and a lot of very [1:08:03] brilliant thinking, gave you. All of those taxes are going to go through the roof if you put in the [1:08:08] Democrats on November 3rd. We will tell the radical left Democrats that we will never believe you [1:08:16] again. We are never going back to where we were just two years ago when our country was an embarrassment. [1:08:23] Our country was an embarrassment. Our country was an embarrassment. We had a president that [1:08:48] couldn't walk off the stage. You know, there's so many stairs, one here, one there. He'd finish the [1:08:56] speech. The speeches only lasted about a minute. Where am I? Remember the time he walked into the [1:09:04] wall in the back? He thought it was a stair. Couldn't sign his name on a document. Auto-pinned [1:09:11] everything. Horrible. In this election, the Democrats have nominated the most extreme and dangerous group [1:09:18] of candidates for the House and Senate ever to seek office. These people are radical left communists, [1:09:24] many of them, not all of them, but many of them. In state after state, the Democrat establishment has [1:09:31] been overthrown and replaced by crazed lunatics and radicals. They call themselves Democrat Socialists, [1:09:39] but actually they're communists. They're not socialists. They're long beyond socialists. Remember [1:09:44] during the last State of the Union, I said, our country will never be a socialist country. I was [1:09:50] right. It's going to be a communist country if they win. You know what they did? They dropped socialism. [1:09:56] They went right for the big one. They went right for the big one. They didn't want socialism anymore. [1:10:01] They're crazy. They're crazy. Remember I said that during the State of the Union? I shouldn't have [1:10:05] said it. It was very rude. But we're handing out the Medal of Honor to a man that landed a helicopter [1:10:13] with his leg virtually blown off in Venezuela, flawlessly landed a big Chinook. That's the double [1:10:21] blader, big, carrying many, many soldiers. Most people would have been out. He took that helicopter, [1:10:27] landed it perfectly. We then were able to get Maduro. If we didn't land it, we would have had a [1:10:32] big problem. And we presented him and others, but we presented him with the Congressional Medal of [1:10:44] Honor. Boy, did he deserve it. And they sat there. Remember like this? They wouldn't clap. They would. Now, [1:10:51] I have to tell you, though, at the end of that State of the Union, they were clapping for everything. You know [1:10:55] why? People were calling them, saying, you guys are being slaughtered tonight. They wouldn't clap. [1:10:59] Remember the 100-year-old soldier that I gave a special, a special reward too. Very special. The [1:11:07] most special. They refused to clap. He was 104 years old. They refused to clap. So some wise Democrat [1:11:13] called them up and said, you people are crazy. You better start clapping. He's making your... And you know, [1:11:19] honestly, they were clapping for everything. I could say anything. They were clapping. They were going wild. [1:11:26] So they went from one extreme to the other. You know why? Because they're Democrats. That's why. [1:11:31] But America has beaten communism before and we will beat it again. We've beaten it before. [1:11:44] The new Democrat communists have even published a manifesto. Do you believe it? We have a manifesto [1:11:51] in our country. They vow to abolish the police. That makes a lot of sense. Abolish prisons. Abolish [1:12:00] the United States Supreme Court. Abolish the United States Senators. We have some very unhappy [1:12:06] senators sitting right over there. They want to abolish ICE. They want to abolish Border Patrol. [1:12:12] And Paul, you were great tonight, wherever you are, the head of Border Patrol. He was great. [1:12:22] And they want to grant full amnesty and voting rights to all illegal aliens, regardless of whether [1:12:28] they were criminals, murderers, or any other type. Everybody gets it. If you were a murderer, [1:12:34] you get to vote. They want to ban all oil and gas, which I would think in Texas will give Ken a very [1:12:41] big victory. Now, think of it. They want to ban oil and gas. We're in Texas. I mean, this guy, [1:12:52] Telefrico, this guy is terrible. They want to defund the United States military and lower my very high [1:13:08] standard on health care for our great vets. You know, they want to take away health care for our [1:13:12] veterans. They want to steal your money for reparations. They want to basically punish you [1:13:21] for crimes that you never committed that happened hundreds of years ago. And our country doesn't have [1:13:27] that kind of money. They have the money for $5,000, but they don't have that kind of money. And give it [1:13:33] to the people that hate our country. The people that hate our country are asking for it, but it's going [1:13:40] nowhere. And while, by the way, as long as you have Republicans, it's not even, it's, you know, [1:13:46] you know, our party is really, we can say conservative, all that our party is really [1:13:51] based on a thing called common sense. It's all common sense. It's all common. But these are people [1:13:59] who do not care if your country is invaded by illegal immigrants, if your home is burglarized, [1:14:06] if your parks and city streets are turned to filth and squalor and death, if your loved ones are [1:14:13] pushed in front of a subway train in New York City or stabbed in the middle of a field in [1:14:19] any state you want to pick. They don't care because they hate our country. And they are Democrats. [1:14:26] And they're very, very wrong. On election night, we're going to prove that America does not belong [1:14:33] to those who hate it. America belongs to those who love it. One of America's, and we have so many great [1:15:04] people here tonight. It's so sad because I'd like to mention every one of them. We have so many great [1:15:09] senators, so many great Congress people, but you can't time. One of the Democrats top congressional [1:15:16] candidates is a self describes Marxist who says he hates family households. Oh, that's nice. And wants [1:15:23] to destroy the American way of life. These are words he used. Another quotes Karl Marx saying she wants to [1:15:31] seize the means of production and puts the works of communist butchers like Lenin, Stalin, into every [1:15:39] library. They want to put the books of Lenin, Lenin as they say, Lenin, Lenin and Stalin in every [1:15:46] library for all our young children to read and study. These are our Democrat Party's nominees to [1:15:53] wield control over the United States Congress. If they win, the greatest legislative body in history [1:16:00] will for the first time ever be controlled by a communist caucus. They'll have a caucus of 20 [1:16:07] people, 18 people, 10 people. That's enough to control Congress. Mike Johnson will tell you that [1:16:14] we've got enough problems, right? We have enough. We have enough, Mike. How would you feel about having 22 [1:16:22] communists in your, in your little group? Mike says, no, please. I can't. We have, it's enough problems [1:16:33] getting people to vote who aren't good people. We have a couple of them, but mostly they're gonzo. [1:16:38] We take care of our bad people. We take really good care of our good people, though. But we're not [1:16:44] going to let the communism happen. Not here, not in America, not in our 250th year. As an example, [1:16:57] in Florida, the Democrat nominee for Senate, Angie Nixon, no relation to Richard Nixon. [1:17:05] I, the first thing I did, I want to check. Is she related at all to Richard Nixon? No. [1:17:12] Is a card carrying member of the Democrat Socialists of America. In Michigan, the Democrat nominee is [1:17:20] Abdul El-Sayed, who brags about the fact that he wants to pack the Supreme Court with 23 far left [1:17:32] lunatics justices. His sister, who's absolutely, you got to listen to this one. His sister celebrated the [1:17:41] terrorist slaughter of babies on October 7th. She thought it was a great thing. His sister thought [1:17:50] it was a great day. His mother worked for an organization that gave hundreds of thousands [1:17:55] of dollars to people that follow Osama bin Laden. And he campaigns with a Marxist agitator who says that [1:18:05] America deserved 9-11. We deserved to have 3,000 people killed, two massive structures brought to [1:18:16] the ground. We deserved it, right? Yet the Democrats want to make this extremist a U.S. Senator, [1:18:24] and running against somebody really good, he's fortunate. We have a man named Mike Rogers, [1:18:28] who's great. So on November 3rd, get out and vote for Mike Rogers. Now in North Carolina, [1:18:37] you have a little more difficult case because people don't quite get it, but they're going to find [1:18:42] out. Democrats nominated Roy Cooper, who worked with anti-police radicals to release thousands and [1:18:52] thousands of dangerous criminals and murderers all over the once safe streets and countryside of [1:18:58] beautiful North Carolina. My daughter-in-law, Laura, loves North Carolina. She comes from there. [1:19:05] And last year on a train in Charlotte, you all saw it, one monster, an absolute monster, [1:19:13] with 14 prior arrests, nothing but trouble, violent person, stood up behind a beautiful 23-year-old woman, [1:19:23] Irina Zaritska, and slashed a knife from behind across her neck and killed her almost instantly. [1:19:33] Other than a look she gave up, what happened? That was her last thought. It was her last look. [1:19:40] He was an animal, a violent killer, and everyone knew it. They all knew it. They all knew he was [1:19:45] destined to kill. He loomed over her as the life drained from her, absolutely petrified. You've all [1:19:53] seen it. And you don't want to see any more than the pudding of the knife. If you wanted to look [1:20:00] at something as horrific as anything you'll ever see, let that tape run. Most networks, and I give them [1:20:07] credit for this, they wouldn't let that happen. It was violent. Unfortunately, because of my position, [1:20:12] I was forced to look, I did not like it. I did not like looking, and I wish I never saw it. [1:20:18] She died on a metro train, terrified and alone. I got to meet her mother at the State of the Union. [1:20:24] She was there. She was, it was quite a while afterwards, and the mother's, she said, [1:20:29] I haven't stopped crying since it took place. Never, she'll never be the same. Roy Cooper was the [1:20:36] governor who released this animal into North Carolina society, and others that were, and others [1:20:45] that were almost as bad. This happened up in Massachusetts a long time ago when they released [1:20:53] a violent criminal, and that man killed numerous women very quickly, raped and killed them right after [1:21:02] being released. And as you know, that governor from Massachusetts was running for president, [1:21:10] and he was leading. And as soon as that happened, he took a 10 point drop and then another 10 point, [1:21:16] and then, and he got beat in a slaughter. That should happen to Roy Cooper because Roy Cooper, [1:21:22] what he's done is worse. Roy Cooper released people like that, can't imagine as bad, but very bad [1:21:38] murderers all over the streets and fields of North Carolina. Did you ever see North Carolina, [1:21:43] how much crime they seem to have now? They never had crime. And now they want to make him a senator. [1:21:49] He wants to be a senator. Roy Cooper was governor when North Carolina was hit by the worst water-filled, [1:21:57] record-setting hurricane. This was a hurricane of massive water, maybe the most we've ever had hit [1:22:03] this country, water, that left the state ravaged. And he did nothing to help. He was a disaster during that [1:22:13] very traumatic time. And it only got fixed on January 20th when I came into office. And the number one [1:22:20] advocate, and the number one advocate, and the man that called me more than anybody else, and we had [1:22:28] great support from our congressmen Republicans, was Michael Watley, the head of the Republican Party. [1:22:38] He did such a good job as the head of North Carolina Republican Party, that I said, [1:22:43] I really want, I won North Carolina three times in a row by a lot. I said, I really want that guy to [1:22:50] head up the Republican Party nationally. Name is Michael Watley. And he'll be an unbelievable, [1:23:03] he's going to be unbelievable. There'll be nobody like him. I mean, he's just a winner. Roy Cooper will [1:23:09] make North Carolina a killing field. And he's a radical left politician posing as a moderate. In fact, [1:23:16] he's one of the worst in the entire group, but nobody really understands it yet, but they will. [1:23:21] And I just want to pay my condolences to the mother of Irina, who is living in hell right now. [1:23:29] Her daughter would be alive today if North Carolina had a different governor, because that animal would [1:23:36] have been in prison or worse. He wouldn't have been let go to be on the streets and be in a train [1:23:43] sitting right behind that beautiful young lady. So vote for Michael Watley in North Carolina, [1:23:50] which has become a crime ridden state, including your new Democrat governor is doing a lousy job. [1:23:58] So Michael Watley will straighten things out just like he did when he ran the Republican Party in 2024, [1:24:05] when we won a landslide election. And here in Texas, Democrats have dominated [1:24:17] James Talafrico for the Southern. And he is a weird looking dude. I mean, [1:24:24] I don't like talking about that, but there's something missing there. Remember Mad Magazine? [1:24:32] He looks to me just like Alfred E. Newman, right? No, he does. Alfred E. Newman. Texas is not heavy [1:24:40] into the world of Alfred E. He's Alfred E. Newman. And he's a bad one. He's bad. [1:24:47] Talafrico authored a plan to annihilate Texas oil and gas. That's good. [1:24:51] I'm working my ass off to get you oil and gas. And I got a guy that wants to end it. [1:24:56] Would Texas be willing to end all oil and gas drilling and watch Texas file for the equivalent [1:25:06] of chapter 11? You know what it's called? Chapter 17. If a state goes bankrupt, [1:25:10] because that's what would happen. This guy would be a disaster. And he stated that he wants to totally [1:25:16] dismantle capitalism, dismantle, quote, capitalism. He described himself as a person who hates [1:25:24] Christianity, says that God is transgender. He called the American flag a complicated symbol [1:25:31] of hate, claimed that the Ten Commandments are a form of fascism. And when he was asked what he [1:25:37] loved most in the world, he said, I love transgender children, which he was also somebody that hated [1:25:48] eating meat. But he ran a campaign to beat meat. He called it beat meat. I don't know what the hell [1:25:57] he meant by that. These people are going to tell me what the hell is he wants to beat meat. It was bad [1:26:14] for his image. So he started eating meat. And he recently it's getting worse. I'm getting myself in [1:26:21] trouble getting worse. He was recently seen having a barbecue and eating a lot of meat. But that's what [1:26:37] happened. He ate it. And then he was seen running backstage to a room and throwing up all over the [1:26:43] place. He doesn't like meat. He also loved wearing masks. And he was seen wearing a mask just a short [1:26:51] number of months ago. Any guy in Texas that's wearing a mask a few months ago, this is not going to be [1:27:00] your senator. It's not going to work out. Not going to work out. So getting back, freedom-loving [1:27:10] patriots of Texas are going to defeat Tala Friko and elect Ken Paxson to protect the lone [1:27:17] saucer. You know, it's amazing. I'm looking at this massive crowd. It's filled all the way upstairs [1:27:30] all the way. There's a lot of people outside. And watch this. Nobody has left. It's a great tribute to [1:27:36] Trump. Nobody. Don't think of this. Nobody has left. And yet I'll read in the New York Times tomorrow [1:27:45] that Trump lost his audience shortly. No, I'll read. Okay. I got it. I'll read. I'll read tomorrow. [1:28:05] And some of the media, the New York Times, the failing, it's a failing newspaper, by the way. [1:28:10] It's failing badly. You know why? Because it has no credibility. But they'll have a reporter say, [1:28:15] Trump lost his audience. He didn't enjoy it up there. I do. I'm having a lot of fun. You know why? [1:28:21] Because everybody loves me and I love everybody. So they'll say that they started leaving. I've been [1:28:35] speaking for an hour and 20 minutes. Nobody's left. There's no. But they'll say, [1:28:41] the arena started emptying out. Or they'll say, the arena, which was only 25% full. Really? [1:28:48] Really? How about those people? Now, this place is packed and outside. But I had the case, [1:28:53] I was going to say before. So Lindsey Graham's sister, Darlene's fantastic. And she's running. [1:28:57] And she was behind in the polls against a very good politician, Ralph Norman, very good politician. [1:29:05] And she was a little behind and I was pushing for her victory. And I went to South Carolina [1:29:11] and I gave a speech in a big room and it was packed. It was packed. And because of that speech, [1:29:21] she won the election quite nicely. She won it quite nicely. And the people, it was standing room only. [1:29:29] The people were packed outside. And then on watching the Sunday shows last week, [1:29:34] a creep from the New York Times said, I was at that room. And there was very little enthusiasm. [1:29:42] President Trump didn't really want to be there. You could see it. And the room was half empty. [1:29:48] The back of the room had nobody. Let me tell you, the back of the room made this one look empty. [1:29:54] The place was packed. Thousands of people outside. And here's the bottom line. Because of that speech, [1:30:00] she won. But I had to listen to a guy lie from the New York Times. His name is Sean McCreech, [1:30:08] something like that. And he lied. And he said, so just remember, we looked around. The place is [1:30:14] packed. Nobody left. Let's keep it that way because I'm almost finished. Okay. A vote for any Democrat [1:30:22] this year anywhere in the country is a vote to let a small and dangerous group of extremists hold our [1:30:29] Congress and our country hostage. If they win, every bill becomes a ransom negotiation. It'll be [1:30:36] very tough. If we want to fund the military, then we'll have to pay the Marxists who want to destroy it. [1:30:43] If we want a homeland security funding, then we'll have to pay the radicals who think we deserved, [1:30:50] like I said, 9-11. I don't think so. With your vote in this election, you can tell these far-left [1:30:58] lunatics and fanatics that America is not for sale to them or to anybody else. We do not negotiate with [1:31:24] communists, with socialists, or with radical left lunatics. We don't negotiate. The maniacs [1:31:31] attacking our civilization think they're on this march. They're talking about this is a great march. [1:31:37] Our country's the hottest country in the whole world. What the hell do you want us to do? [1:31:42] They're talking about, we will march, we will, everything they touch. You know, one thing I noticed [1:31:47] about, even if I just talk socialism, if I talk about radical left, without even going to communism, [1:31:53] everything, I said this once a month ago, I go a little off script if you don't mind. Isn't it nice to [1:31:59] have a president that doesn't have to use a script? Isn't that nice? But one thing I noticed about the [1:32:09] radical left, like the cities, the blue cities, I don't want to go specific. I'm not going to mention New York, [1:32:16] Chicago, all those things. I don't want to be specific. But the one thing I noticed is dirt [1:32:23] and filth. Everything's dirty and filthy and disgusting. And then the crime comes and then [1:32:29] the killing comes and then everything else. And then we have to bail them out or they don't get [1:32:33] bailed out and the thing goes to hell completely. But it's filthy, disgusting, dirty. You know what? [1:32:39] I'm a guy I hate to shake hands. I used to hate it. I had to get used to it as a politician. [1:32:44] And I think I was right. But now, you know, if you're a politician, don't shake somebody's hand. [1:32:49] How's that for getting a vote? Guy comes up. Sir, may I please shake your hand? No, [1:32:52] I don't want to shake your head. Oh, let's go out and vote for him tomorrow. You have to get, [1:32:57] you have to get used. But you know, I like cleanliness. I'm a very clean person. [1:33:02] And I noticed that these radical left places, they turn dirty, filthy, disgusting, [1:33:07] and then the crime follows. So we can't let that happen to our country. We just can't let it happen. [1:33:12] So exactly one year ago tomorrow, a far left extremist assassinated my great friend and [1:33:24] conservative voice, Charlie Kirk, because Charlie Kirk spoke the truth. What shocked millions of [1:33:32] Americans was not only the fact that Charlie was murdered as bad as it was, but also how many [1:33:39] people made an excuse for it or cheered for it. They were cheering some people, sick people. [1:33:45] For a brief moment, the mask came off the radical left and you saw what they were really all about. [1:33:52] And now those same people are trying to get power over you in this election. And they are all voting [1:34:00] Democrat. Okay. They're all voting, every one of them. And you can't let it happen. We will not let [1:34:06] them win. And in Charlie's honor, I just want to say, we love you, Charlie. And Erica is here someplace. [1:34:12] Erica, where is Erica? Thank you very much. And thank you, Erica. And I think Erica is going to be [1:34:59] here tomorrow too. She's put up with something, boy, oh boy, what she's had to go through and [1:35:04] the most beautiful family. It's just terrible. But tough life, tough life. Can't let it happen. [1:35:12] From the very beginning of this journey, I've not stopped fighting and I never will stop fighting to [1:35:18] protect you, your family. I had a great life before I did this. This is a little different. I had a very nice [1:35:25] life. I didn't need to be here tonight. I could have been in a nice place somewhere in the world. [1:35:30] But I want to be here because I love you people. I really do. I wouldn't trade. I wouldn't trade. [1:35:42] But the radical left communists have tried to persecute me, my loved ones and my supporters. [1:35:50] They attempted to put me in jail and even tried to kill me because I was doing a good job. [1:35:57] But through it all, I have never quit. I've never backed down. I never will. [1:36:02] And every single promise I've made to you as a candidate, I've delivered on. I've delivered on [1:36:07] everything. We've delivered on many more things than I even talked about. Somebody said he's actually [1:36:13] delivered. The only politician they say this about. But that I've delivered many more things [1:36:18] than I even talked about. And all I'm asking in this election is that you stand with me together. [1:36:24] We will defeat communism in America once and for all. We're going to defeat it. And we have to [1:36:29] defeat it badly. And with your vote, because of your great work and our tremendous economic success, [1:36:44] as I said, we're going to give you that Trump dividend of $5,000 if we win. And we're going to win. [1:36:51] And we'll make all Trump tax cuts permanent so that the Democrats can't end them. We have them. [1:36:57] We're not going to let them end them. And we'll pass the great health care plan. We call it the great [1:37:02] health care plan to stop all government payments of the big insurance companies, [1:37:07] which, by the way, the insurance companies own the Democrats. They own them. And give the money [1:37:14] directly to the people for you to go out and buy your own health care. You'll get much better health [1:37:20] care and have money left over for yourselves. And we're going to end very quickly. Surprise medical [1:37:30] billing. And surprise medical billing is a tremendous, horrible situation in our country. [1:37:37] And require insurers and hospitals to post all prices clearly in plain English so you can see [1:37:43] what you're getting into. And we will make our most favored nation agreements on prescription drug prices [1:37:49] permanent, which reduces your prescription drug prices by up to 90 percent. Think of that. You know, [1:37:56] when I was in my first term for 28 years, there's never been a president that reduced drug prices, [1:38:02] but I did one eighth of one percent. And I was so proud. I called for a news conference and I bragged [1:38:08] to the press. So prices from January till the end of December went down one eighth of one percent. [1:38:14] And now I'm reducing them 90 percent more. And we'll cut out of control credit card swipe fees, [1:38:24] saving the average family at least twelve hundred dollars per year. And we'll not allow Americans to [1:38:31] pay seven to eight times more for those fees than they do in any other country. We pay seven, eight, [1:38:38] and nine times more than they do another. It's almost like the prescription drugs, [1:38:42] same kind of a thing. We'll straighten it out very quickly. We will make it legally impossible [1:38:48] for any future president to destroy our country by having the right to open the border again. [1:38:53] We will pass a no invasion of our country act and we will win the war on fraud headed up, [1:39:13] by the way, by J.D. Vance, who's doing a great job. I watched him last week and he was standing there [1:39:32] with like 20 guys behind him, all central casting, all look like they just got out of the greatest law [1:39:37] schools. And I said, it looks like Elliot Ness. It's Elliot Ness in the old days. But you know, [1:39:45] J.D.'s found billions and billions of dollars of fraud and he's just starting and he's really [1:39:50] enjoying it because they're stealing from the American touch. Thank you. Great job. And we will [1:39:57] end no cash bail and institute the death penalty for large scale drug dealers, human traffickers, [1:40:04] and murderers of our law enforcement heroes. And one way or the other, before or after, if it has to be [1:40:20] after, I hope it's before, November 3rd election, we will pass the Save America Act. We will make [1:40:40] mandatory photo voter ID and proof of citizenship a staple at every single election in every single [1:40:51] state. And we will enshrine in permanent law no men in women's sports and no transgender [1:41:02] mutilization of your children. And again, when I'm running, we get tremendous numbers of votes and [1:41:13] people coming out and they vote and then they vote for the senators and the congressmen and women and [1:41:17] all. But when I'm not running, it's a little different. So please, I ask you this as maybe more [1:41:26] important even than the Trump dividend. Please pretend that I'm running and get out and vote on November 3rd [1:41:34] or sooner. Because in actuality, I really am running. We don't really know it, but we are. [1:41:45] I mean, we're running together. We have to we have to have Congress. We have to have the majorities. [1:41:51] If we don't have the majority, so much can be lost. It could destroy. They're so destructive, [1:41:55] these people. They have no heart. They're so destructive. And we have to make sure they don't [1:42:01] have a chance to destroy our country. This is one of the most important elections of your lives, [1:42:06] only superseded by our victories in 2016, 2020 and 2024. Three great victories. And I will see you [1:42:20] tomorrow night where I will be where I will be closing out the first ever midterm convention. This [1:42:33] is incredible. And by the way, tomorrow night, I'm going to be here tomorrow night. I'm going to close it [1:42:42] out. I'm going to say but I'm not doing a big deal like this because I don't have to say the same stuff [1:42:47] twice. I gave you a lot of material. I don't have to do it twice. But I'm going to be here to say good [1:42:52] night to you. I'm going to be just sort of getting up here and saying good luck. And we love you all. [1:42:59] That's what I'm going to be saying tomorrow night. So in 55 days, we will do what 250 years of [1:43:15] American history absolutely demands. We will defend our nation's founding. We will protect our [1:43:23] constitution, including our great second amendment, which is always under siege. We will uphold the [1:43:32] honor of our great heroes. We have great heroes. We will redeem the sacrifice of our ancestors. We will [1:43:41] vanquish America's enemies. We will raise high the torch of liberty that was handed to us and march [1:43:49] forward into a future of hope, pride, opportunity and freedom. On November 3rd, [1:43:58] vote Republican for House and Senate. And with God's help, we will lead this nation to heights of glory and [1:44:05] achievement never seen before, even by our country at its best. Because together we will make America [1:44:14] powerful again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America healthy again. We will [1:44:39] make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we [1:44:56] We will make America great again. [1:45:01] Thank you very much, Texas. [1:45:03] We love you all. [1:45:03] God bless you. [1:45:05] God bless you all. [1:45:06] Thank you.
