Full Trump rally speech in PA: Iran war, economy and more addressed at Lehigh Valley event

[0:00] Hello, Pennsylvania. I won this place so much. We won. I'm thrilled to be back in this incredible [0:15] commonwealth with the proud, hard-working patriots of Lehigh Valley. Lehigh Valley. [0:22] And I'm also proud to say I won this state in a landslide. We won it by so much. And [0:33] remember I had the couple of little statements too big to rig. Make it too big to rig because [0:39] these people cheat like hell. They cheat like hell, but we won it by a lot. And maybe we should [0:46] run again. Should we run one more time? I'd like to do that. I'd like to do that. But I got more [0:55] votes than any candidate in the history of Pennsylvania. Can you believe that, Bo? You [1:00] would have gotten more. And today I'm especially honored to be here in the place that builds some [1:05] of the toughest vehicles on the road, Mack Trucks. Mack Trucks is doing a great job. We have all of [1:13] the Mack people, the chairman. We have a whole group of here, all the leaders, the big, the big guys [1:18] they're building. They're trying to get a contract for 15,000 trucks, 15,000. I said, that's a lot. [1:25] I said, how many are you looking for? 10, 15? No, 15,000, sir. That's a lot of trucks. For more than 100 [1:32] years, this legendary company has been making trucks right here in eastern Pennsylvania, building the [1:38] heavy-duty machinery that keeps our economy rolling, our factories moving, and our industries roaring [1:44] all across the nation. And you are the men and women who put your pride and spirit into those [1:58] beautiful words, stamped on every Mack truck that said, made in the USA. It's made in the USA. [2:09] And I want to especially thank the president of Mack Trucks, Stephen Roy, who I just met, [2:14] who is a great guy, a great patriot. Very Republican, too, which I like. He's a very strong Republican. [2:21] Stephen, where are you, Stephen? Stephen, we got to get a certain very talented congressman reelected. [2:34] You know that. We got to get him. Where are you? Where are you, Mr. Congressman? We got to get you [2:38] back in. Thank you. And thank you, Stephen. But a very special thanks to every single worker at this [2:47] fantastic factory. The job you're doing here is incredible. And I know you're applying for a big [2:52] one, and we'll see how that goes. We'll have to call up some people and see if it's good, if your price [2:56] is right. Is your price right, Stephen? I don't know. Maybe we'll get it down a little bit. [3:01] We'll get it down. 15,000 trucks. That's a lot of trucks. But that's what this is all about. It's [3:08] greatness. You built this country, and you are the ones who are making America great again. We're the [3:13] hottest country in the world. For decades, for decades, the workers of this Commonwealth watched [3:23] globalist politicians let other countries rip you off and close your factories, rob your jobs, [3:29] take them away to foreign lands. And then I came along. We stopped it very quickly. Then we had [3:35] a rigged election. Then we had a rigged election, but they were so stupid they kept everything going [3:41] a little bit for us. And what we've done in the last year and a half, nobody's ever seen anything [3:45] like it. They put America first. They put China first. They put illegal aliens first and everybody [3:51] else first but you. But we put you first by a lot. But at long last, you finally have a president who [4:00] is putting workers first, putting Pennsylvania first, and putting America first. We're doing that [4:06] and we're doing it like nobody's ever seen before. And starting on my first day back in office, [4:14] and this goes all the way back to 2016 too, but right from a year and a half ago, nobody's ever seen [4:20] anything like this. We're the hottest country anywhere in the world by a lot. But I stood up [4:26] to the trade cheaters. They're cheaters and abusers and violators of the world like no president has [4:33] ever stood up before. And now I'm standing up again because Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon if that's [4:39] okay. And we're doing quite well. I placed 50% tariffs on foreign copper, aluminum, and steel so [4:52] they couldn't come in and steal your jobs. And sometimes even more than 100% tariffs. They [4:58] weren't going to come in from foreign lands and steal your jobs. If they wanted to come in, [5:02] they pay 100%, they pay 200%, they pay, I don't care what it is, they're not going to steal your [5:09] jobs, okay? And they stop. And right now we have more factories being built. And I mean car factories, [5:21] AI factories, factories of every type that we've ever had in the history of our country by three [5:28] times. That's because, that's because they didn't want to pay the tariff. How don't you pay a tariff? [5:35] You build your factory here and you hire American workers. It's quite simple actually. But as you [5:44] know, I placed a 25% tariff on foreign automobiles and very importantly, I posed a 25% tariff on medium [5:52] and heavy-duty trucks so that Mack Truck could do very well with this factory in Pennsylvania. [6:00] But all American roads will be filled with American trucks very shortly. Very few people are able to [6:06] compete with us anymore. They used to rip us off. It was like we were a bunch of babies. [6:10] American labor worked with us too. I just met the head of your unions and they've been terrific. [6:15] They work with us and they're fair. They treat it as good. Maybe we can negotiate a little bit tougher. [6:20] Where the hell are the union guys? Those guys are great. They're great. There they are. I want to [6:25] just say hello. We gotta, we gotta make sure you vote for our congressman here. I'm not doing this [6:31] for my help, right? Muser. We even have Muser here. Within a single year of taking office, I slashed [6:42] trade deficit with China by the largest amount in the history of trade. And we, by the way, have the [6:49] biggest trade deficit cut in the history of our country. 67 percent. Think of this. We had a trade [6:57] deficit. We cut our trade deficit. If you do, if you're a president and you cut it by one percent, they [7:03] say, oh, you're doing a great job. Two percent, you're a genius. I cut it by 67 percent. That's why you have [7:14] all of these factories being built. They'll soon be opening. They're already opening. But when those [7:19] factories are opening, I don't know what you're going to do. You're going to negotiate very good [7:24] salaries, that I can tell you, because they need you. In many ways, they need you more than you need [7:29] them. American exports to the rest of the world are up by $150 billion. You hear that, Bo? It's not bad. [7:37] You're going to wrestle a long way to make that. Bo is going to have to win a lot of tournaments to have [7:42] to make that money. Think of it. $150 billion up. We never had that. We always have losses. We take in [7:51] much more than we send out. Now we're up $150 billion, and that's nothing, because when all these [7:57] factories are opening up, Mr. Senator, another great one. What a great senator you have. Did you fight [8:04] hard? David? David, did you fight hard? He was with me at, I think, every stop. I said, where the hell [8:13] is David? He's right there, sir. And he's working hard, and he's a great guy, and he's working very [8:19] hard for you. But a short time ago, we were a dead country. We were laughed at all over the world. We [8:24] were a dead country. People were laughing. They were saying, what the hell happened to that country? [8:29] The king of Saudi Arabia said it two years ago. I was over there. He said, you know, sir, two years ago, [8:35] you were a dead country, and now you're the hottest country anywhere in the world. It's true. And we're [8:40] hotter now than we were then. He then proceeded to announce that he's investing $2 trillion in our [8:53] country, along with Qatar, along with UAE. Bahrain is investing. Kuwait's investing. But countries from all [9:00] over the world, they're all investing in the United States. Two years ago, they wouldn't even think of it. [9:05] They thought we were finished. When I went to China two weeks ago, I met with President Xi. [9:13] And we greeted each other. And he looked at me and he said, man, do you move fast? Because they [9:18] thought they had us. But now it's really the opposite. We are doing numbers that nobody's [9:23] ever seen before. So it's great. It's great. We had a great meeting. But as you know, we just [9:30] achieved a historic peace agreement with Iran to end the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz. [9:36] And by the way, yesterday, 19 million barrels of oil flowed out of the Strait of Hormuz, a [9:45] very beautiful place. That's the most, that's the most oil in the history of the Strait. [9:54] It's never been any, you've never seen anything like that. It's called an oil gush. And most [9:59] importantly, we are ensuring one thing very importantly, because this is why I did it. [10:04] I did it for this reason, 99% for this. Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. And they've [10:10] agreed to that. But remember, this wasn't easy. We had 47 years worth of presidents and [10:22] other people, other countries too. We're not the only one that never did anything. They [10:26] were the bully of the Middle East. And now we're leaving Iran with no Navy, no Air Force, [10:32] no anti-aircraft, no missile capability, no nuclear program. We're leaving them without [10:41] any nuclear capacity. And they've agreed to that. And we're getting along quite well. Although [10:46] if you read the fake news, you never know. Think of it, the fake news. They have no Army. [10:52] They have no Navy. They have no Air Force. They have no anti-aircraft. We can fly over Tehran [10:57] just at will. Nobody going to do anything to us. And then I read the fake news that they're doing [11:03] quite well. They're not doing quite well. These people right there, look at all of them. Whoa. [11:08] Whoa. Whoa. That's a lot of press. That's almost as much press as Bo had at the White House [11:18] last week when he knocked out his opponent in the first round. I think you had more. Bo had [11:26] more press. But the Iran economy has been crushed and their defense industrial base has been damaged [11:33] so severely that it'll take them many years to rebuild. Many, many years. And now we're trying [11:38] to work out a deal that's fair. And we also want to work out a deal. You know, the stock market hit [11:43] a new high today again. And oil for the first time in months hit, think of it, $70 a barrel. So we got [11:54] it 70. That equates to a very low price that oil is going to come charging down. And with oil comes [12:00] everything else. Because I inherited from these Democrats. You know, they're Democrats. I changed [12:09] the E for U. It's very simple. Democrats. I don't know why I didn't think of that nine years ago. I just [12:16] thought of it about a month ago. They're Democrats because their policies are so dumb. Men in women's [12:21] sports. You know, Bo is with one of the great champions. Tony. Tony, could you have taken most women [12:28] in the heavyweight chair? He was the heavyweight champion of the world. Do you think you would have [12:32] had trouble with a woman of approximately your size? Be hard to find a woman of your size. But [12:37] if we did, I think you would have been okay. What do you think, Bo? Could he have handled it? I think so. [12:42] What about you, Bo? Could you handle a woman of approximately your, what, 182 or something? I think [12:48] there's a 182 pounder that could give you a little tussle. I don't think so. I don't think so. He's such a nice [12:54] guy. She said, no, no, not really. I don't think so. When she looked at those ears of Bo, when she looked at [13:02] those ears, she'll say, I'll take a pass. She'll say, I'm not going to fight that guy. The average [13:08] price of gasoline nationwide is down 60 cents a gallon just from a short while ago. And remember [13:17] this. Remember this. We had to make this detour. We had to go to Iran. You can't let them blow up the [13:23] Middle East and then us if that's possible. We would have gotten them before, but they would have blown up [13:28] Israel. They would have blown up the entire Middle East. Can't let that. You want to see a bad economy? [13:32] That's a bad economy. But remember that our oil in the middle of this conflict was less than it was [13:40] for sleepy Joe Biden. And we're putting out a fire. Biden, Clinton, Bush, all of them. Barack Hussein [13:48] Obama. Have you heard of him? Have you heard of Barack Hussein Obama? None of them did anything. [13:55] Obama gave them 1.7 billion in green cash. Remember, on a 747, they flew over piles of cash. [14:02] 1.7 billion dollars. Gave them hundreds of billions of dollars and thought they could bribe [14:08] them into peace. No. The only thing they understand is what these guys in the front row understand [14:13] is the hammer. Because if you look at what we did to their nuclear capacity with those beautiful B-2 [14:20] bombers, that was truly a hammer. In fact, we named it a hammer. Operation Hammer. But our economy is ready [14:29] to soar to levels the world has not seen before. I believe that, David. I think it's going to levels [14:34] that nobody's ever seen before. All these factories are being built and they're going to be occupied [14:39] and they're hiring people now. It's going to be something very beautiful. I don't know who's going [14:45] to follow me, but remember that I was the one that did it, okay? Somebody's going to walk into office [14:50] and they're going to have the most successful country in history and they're going to be bragging [14:54] what a great job they did. Now, we did it. In four long years of the Crooked Joe Biden administration, [15:04] they got less than $1 trillion of new investments. So think of it, Crooked Joe. What do you like better, [15:09] Sleepy Joe or Crooked Joe? Ready? Sleepy Joe. Crooked Joe. I'm surprised. I like Sleepy Joe better, but [15:19] Crooked Joe. They're both good. I use them both. But in less than one year, [15:26] so they did much less than $1 trillion of investment from outside the world, [15:34] much less than $1 trillion. We just got the final. We had 11 months at 18, [15:39] but we just got the final $19.1 trillion in 12 months. Can you believe that? Investment from all [15:47] over the globe. And since the election, the stock market has set 73 all-time records. In other words, [15:56] yeah, sit down. We've got plenty of time here. It's an honor that you're all staying. Oh, [16:01] look who we have, the wall. Stand up, wall. Look at this guy. I'm going to get a suit just like that [16:06] guy. I'll bet he's been to 200 rallies. Him and, uh, where are my guys? Oh, look at my guy's front [16:14] row Joes. I got these front row Joes. And where are the women from North Carolina? They're here. They [16:20] travel all over the world. I don't know what the hell's with their husbands. These beautiful women from [16:25] North Carolina. They travel all over. They went to 200 rallies. How many rallies have front row Joes [16:31] gone to? Hundreds. Everyone. And then it was very sad. My last rally, I said, I may never see you [16:39] again, right? And then we won the election in a landslide. And who the hell do I see? I see my [16:44] front row Joes. So I'm happy about that. Thank you. What a group. We had some group. We'd be all over [16:51] the place. And when they didn't make the front row, it was very demeaning to them. They were not happy, [16:58] right? But the front row, they became actually very famous. Front row Joes. And the typical 401k, [17:05] as you know, is up almost $30,000 in, uh, it was 12 months. It was 13 months. It's up 44%. Think of that. [17:17] Up 44%. Because, you know, as goes the stock market, so goes a lot of your own wealth. And [17:26] I tell about this police officer. I met a police officer first time, similar thing, but now the [17:31] numbers are even more. I met, I was in New York. I met a great police officer in New York finance. [17:37] And he said, sir, I want to thank you. I said, for what? He said, my wife didn't think much of me [17:43] very much. We were having marital difficulty, actually. She thought I was nothing. I'm a police officer. [17:48] I'm a tough guy. Looked at him. The muscles were all over the place. He didn't suffer from that. [17:53] But she thought maybe that muscle wasn't so good because he was always losing money in the stock [17:58] market. And he said, sir, in the last year and a half, my 401k is up 74%, sir. And she thinks I'm [18:08] Warren Buffett. She thinks I'm a super genius. I said, how are you getting along with her? He said, [18:16] well, I'm not so sure I like her anymore. But that's, I won't tell you that. I refuse to say [18:22] that. He's getting along just fine. But a lot of people have come up to me, Dave, and they think [18:27] there's 401ks, you know, the stock market. Who has a 401k here? Yeah, look, a lot of people. [18:35] More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country. And we've created over [18:40] 32,000 new jobs just starting in Pennsylvania alone. David, you have to get credit for that. [18:49] And in the last few months alone, we've added 2,600 Pennsylvania manufacturing jobs. And that [19:01] number is going to go much, much higher as the factories start to open. Because right here in [19:07] Lehigh Valley, Eli Lilly has just announced, great company, by the way, a drug company, [19:12] a $3.5 billion investment in a brand new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility right [19:18] down the road that's going to create over 1,000 jobs, just that one. Nokia is investing $30 million [19:25] to expand its semiconductor testing and packaging operations, thousands of jobs. And B Braun has [19:33] announced a $20 million expansion of its medical device manufacturing operation in Allentown. [19:40] I love Allentown. I love any place that votes for me, which is the entire state of Pennsylvania, [19:51] the entire Commonwealth. Never make the mistake of using the word state. Although I'm not sure that [19:59] people care, but the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania voted for us at levels that nobody's ever seen [20:05] before, David. And you too. And we're proud of you, because you had guts. This man had guts. He lost [20:11] one time to a tough candidate. Then he did it again to a tougher candidate. And I tell him, if he [20:16] didn't win, his wife, who's a beautiful woman, would have left him. I'm telling you. Dina, she would have [20:21] left him. So he had great courage doing it a second time. He was a very successful guy. He ran, [20:26] stand up, David. She would have left. I was so worried, because he's a friend of mine. And he was, [20:37] that was a tough race. You know, he was running against a guy 24 years, and his father was in for like, [20:42] 30 years. That's a long time. And he had to beat him. Knowing the pressure, that's called pressure, [20:48] knowing his wife was gone if he didn't make it. She was gone to 100%. But he's married actually to [20:54] a terrific woman. She probably would have stayed. I'm not 100% sure. And last year, I saved a great [21:00] American company, U.S. Steel. And we're keeping its headquarters in Pennsylvania where it belongs. And [21:05] $17 billion has been invested by a great company in saving U.S. Steel. They were gone. I think they [21:14] were closed up and they were ready to go. And now they're building factories like nobody's ever seen. [21:21] They're expanding the operations and building a couple of brand new steel plants. They're up to over [21:26] $17 billion, which is a lot more than they even told us. Because they've fallen in love with this [21:31] commonwealth. They've fallen in love with your whole area, the people. I think they've fallen in love [21:36] with the people more than anything else is what they told me. Because they've done more than they said [21:40] they would. And thanks to our great Republican majorities in Congress, last 4th of July, I proudly [21:46] signed the largest tax cuts in American history. We gave you the biggest tax cuts in American history. [21:55] Not bad. Not bad. We delivered no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on social security for our [22:06] great Pennsylvania seniors. No tax. And our tax cuts are projected to boost take-home pay for [22:15] Pennsylvanians by an average of more than $10,000 a year per household. Think of that. Not bad. [22:26] That alone should win us the midterms. We've got to win the Musa. We've got to win the midterms. Musa's [22:30] another great guy. Stand up Musa. Been with me forever. He was thinking about running for governor. [22:39] I think he would have won, but he was thinking about running for governor. And I said, I want you to [22:43] stay in Congress. I want you to stay. And we appreciate it. You've done a great job. But always remember, [22:50] every single Democrat in Congress voted against our tax cuts. So think of it. All of those tax cuts [22:57] and many more, they want to raise your taxes, not lower them. They voted against tax cuts. You know, [23:03] all my life, I sort of been political in that I found it very interesting. I was a very successful [23:08] real estate person, but I love watching politics. And my whole life, I've watched politics say, [23:13] we will cut your taxes. We will cut. I never heard these people say, we will raise your taxes. [23:20] This country has gotten very strange politically, especially with all the communists that are up [23:25] for election. You know, they have communists. These aren't socialists. These are communists. [23:29] And they're all up. How about the guy in Maine? He's got, he's got the Nazi stickers. He's got the [23:36] whole deal. And they're trying to say that. So for eight years, 10 years, they said Trump is a Nazi. [23:44] Now they can't say that anymore because they have a guy with a tattoo on his chest. It's unbelievable. [23:51] But they voted against no tax on Social Security. They voted against no tax on tips. They voted against [23:59] no tax on overtime. And if they got into office, you will have all of those taxes and all of the, [24:05] all of that money that you're saving, including the big savings on Social Security, it's going to [24:11] all be terminated. You're going to have to start paying it. They want to pay it. I don't know what's [24:15] wrong with these people. They voted in favor of the estate tax or the death tax on your farms and [24:20] your businesses. You know, farmers and small business people, they love their children. [24:25] If they love them, it's great. Most of the people love them. Some can't stand. I know people that can't [24:30] stand their kids. They're not going to leave them 10 cents. But if you love your child, you want to leave your [24:36] farm, especially farm. These farmers, it's born in them somehow. They want to, they want to have [24:43] their children on the farm. The children don't want to leave. But sometimes they're, they're land rich [24:49] and cash poor. You know, I've known that expression too. I've oftentimes been land rich and cash poor. [24:55] It's not a good period of time. And you die and you have a estate and they tax you at 40, 50, 60 percent. [25:02] And they end up losing their farm, losing their small business. And in many cases, you don't read [25:08] about this. They commit suicide. They actually go out and commit suicide because they're forced off [25:12] their farm by a bank. They have to go out and borrow money from a bank. And they're forced to go out, [25:17] borrow the money. They're unable to pay the loan. And the bank, even if it's a nice bank, they give them [25:22] a chance. They give them another chance. And then they ultimately foreclose. They lose everything. And [25:26] in many cases, they commit suicide. And they said, we're not going to have that crap go on. [25:31] So you have no estate tax to pay on your small farm, small business, on your farms, your businesses. [25:37] And you can, if you love your children, you can leave your farm or your small business to your child [25:45] and they're not going to lose it. If you don't love your children, then don't listen to what I'm saying [25:49] because it doesn't matter. If you don't like them, don't leave them anything. The hell with them. They [25:53] probably deserve it. But think of it. The Democrats voted against the border wall. The border wall gave [26:00] us the safest border. We have the safest border now in the history of the country. They voted against, [26:09] they voted against voter ID. You know why they voted against voter ID? Because they want to cheat. [26:17] There's only one reason, Mr. Wall, right? Correct. Correct. Where do I get that suit? One day, [26:27] I don't know if it's very presidential. I'm going to walk up in a suit with the design of the wall on it. [26:32] I don't know. What do you think? I already have a lot. You know, I have a very elegant wife and she says, [26:43] darling, please, please don't dance. It's not presidential. I said, but the people love it [26:49] when I dance at the... And she said, please, please, the men in women's sports, please don't do the [26:59] weightlifting thing. And don't do the swimming thing. You know, the weightlifter where he goes up and [27:04] the record stood for years and years and years. And this young lady, she's trying out for the Olympics and [27:10] she's going to do it. And the record stood for 19 years and they put an eighth of an ounce on one [27:17] side, an eighth of an ounce on the other. And you have to understand, Melania, who's now a movie star, [27:22] she got the number one. But can you believe she hit big with a move? That's not good. There can only be [27:29] one star in a family. Please remember that. But they put a little eighth, like a feather on one side, [27:35] a little bit just to break the record. The parents are sitting right there where Big Bo is. He's a nasty guy, [27:40] that punch he threw. Gotta be very nice to Bo. Gotta be very nice. Gotta make sure he's never angry at me. [27:47] But she said her parents are right there in the front and they're so proud. The father's not so [27:51] proud because he knows she's not going to do it because she's a woman. That's a lot of weight. [27:55] The mother, though, is screaming, darling, I love you. Do it. And she gets over the weights [28:00] and she stares and then she gets her and she gets her. And the mother's screaming, darling, [28:08] I love you, darling. And the father's looking, saying she has no chance. And she's like this. You [28:14] see? Drops him and she's like devastated for the rest of her life. And then a guy comes along who [28:24] transitioned. That's the term. I've gotten very good at that term. I used to take a lot of heat for my [28:29] definition of the movement over. But he transitioned. He was a poor, very poor, bottom of the bottom of the [28:37] line. Male weightlifter. But now he's a female weightlifter. And he looked at the amount. I think [28:45] it was like 210 pounds or something like that. Boy, that's a lot for a woman. But not that much for a [28:50] man. You could do it with one hand. And he goes, looks down at the weight. I think he did a few things [29:01] for emphasis. And he won the medal. And everyone said, oh, isn't that wonderful? Are we crazy? Men should [29:09] not be able to participate in women's games. That's a 99 percent issue. Do you ever hear the [29:23] fake news? They say, that's an 80-20 issue. No, it's not. It's 99-1. You know, I've been doing [29:29] politics now for 10 years. Not that long, considering I've been, I've won three elections. You know, [29:34] so I don't. But we did great in the second one. It was a rigged deal. But pretty, pretty short. But [29:42] with all of that, and all of the time I spent speaking to people, they say, sir, could you cut taxes on [29:47] this? Could you get me a tax deduction on a car loan? I did that. By the way, I did that. [29:52] If you buy, if you borrow money to buy a car, you get all these things. They asked me for hundreds [29:56] of things. Not once did anyone ever come up to me and say, sir, please, this is so vital. You have to [30:03] be able to have men playing women's sports. Please, sir, could you pull that off? I've never had anyone [30:09] ask me for that. So I say it's a 99-1 issue, not 80-20. The fake news back there, they say, oh, [30:16] that's a tight issue. But I don't like talking about it because I want them to continue on with [30:22] that. I want them to continue on with the, you know, they're in favor of the [30:27] mutilization of your child for transgender purposes. The mutilization of your child. [30:33] And I would say politically, it's a very good thing to run against a person that's in favor of that kind [30:38] of stuff. So we let them, we don't bring it up during off political seasons, but we have a political [30:44] season coming up. And they'll be doing all of that nonsense and they're going to lose a lot of [30:48] elections. And now, if you look at New York, we have all communists running. They're all excited. [30:53] They're going to win their primaries, but I can't imagine they can beat a normal Republican. So I think [30:57] it's a good thing, Musa. What do you think? I think it's a good thing. Wouldn't you like to run [31:01] against somebody like that? Well, Shapiro's not that much better, to be honest with you, but I will. [31:08] They're all being forced. They're all being forced. A guy like Shapiro, he's going to be forced to the left, [31:12] otherwise he's not going to get the nomination. But they voted against proof of citizenship. Think [31:17] of it. We'd like to have proof of citizenship. You walk into the voting booth. Would it be okay, [31:23] sir, if I looked at you and say, how dare you ask me for my citizenship? You know, in California, [31:29] if you ask that question to a voter, you are criminally liable. In other words, they can put [31:35] you in jail. If you say, sir, do you have proof of citizenship? They put you in jail if they ask that [31:41] question. You're not allowed to ask that. Did you know that? It's the craziest thing I've ever seen [31:45] going on. Hey, did they screw the kid, Pratt? Boy, he's leading and all of a sudden he's lost. [31:53] And it was sort of interesting. The election, you ever see an election where they're two and a half [31:57] weeks in, an election that takes weeks to count the votes. But after the evening, it looked like he [32:03] was going to win or certainly be in the runoff. And then I started hearing rumors as the days went by, [32:09] days and days went by, that Pratt is fading. He's fading. I said, they rigged the election. [32:15] And then lo and behold, he didn't qualify, even though he was so far up in the third place [32:22] person that it was almost impossible. And he didn't qualify. And then it started happening [32:27] with the next candidate, Steve Hilton, who's running for governor. He was up in front, just about [32:32] leading, no problem. And all of a sudden, about four or five days after, this is after the election's [32:38] over. They said, Steve Hilton is starting to lose votes. I said, here we go again. [32:44] And I called up the U.S. attorney in California. They said, we're going to have a number in the next [32:49] week. Next week. I called up the very powerful, very good U.S. attorney in California. And I said, [32:55] do me a favor, take a look. They're trying to steal that election too. I guess they called up. They said, [33:01] this is the U.S. attorney call. We have your great U.S. attorney here today, by the way, [33:05] and your assistant U.S. attorney. They're doing great. David, thank you. But so over the next week, [33:14] he was definitely going to lose. But the U.S. attorney called. We want to check your votes. [33:19] About an hour after the call, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Hilton has won. So had I not made that call, [33:28] Steve Hilton would right now be looking, watching the election from home. So I don't know, [33:33] you know, he would have a great chance, but the election's totally rigged. California's totally rigged. [33:37] All mail-in ballots. It's a disgrace. We got to pass the Save America Act, okay? [33:43] We got to pass Save America, you, McGee. Look at these guys. What love. A friend of mine is a very [33:57] big real estate developer, but he's got a problem with speaking in front of crowds. He chokes, [34:02] you know, he chokes like a dog. He said, how do you do it? I say, it's easy because there's so much [34:08] love in the room. There's so much unbelievable love. It's easy to do. You know? No, he's got this [34:16] tremendous fear of speaking. He said, the guy's a major player. Most of you have heard of him. [34:22] And he's a killer. He destroys people for a living, financially, not physically, [34:27] financially. Physically, he can't, he can barely walk. He's a basket case. But he's up here. He's very [34:32] smart. And he destroys people. He's very rich. But he can't get up in front of a crowd and talk. [34:39] I said, what's wrong with you? He said, I don't know. I have a fear of crowds. Do you believe it? [34:44] All sorts of people. You know, a lot of people want to do what I did. A lot of people, well, [34:47] David did it. David was very successful, but he's a great speaker. But a lot of people, they say, [34:52] well, Trump became president. From being a very successful businessman he ran, he became president. [34:56] I want to do it too. And that's when they find out that they might have the flaw of speaking, [35:03] or even worse, is a terrible past. You know? The past will come out to haunt you. It's not an easy [35:09] thing to do, but I love it. You know, I say, uh, it's real easy to do when you have people that love [35:16] you. I guarantee who here voted for Trump? Didn't. This is dangerous. So don't, don't raise your hand [35:33] think you're going to be cute because you might be in big, big problem. Then they'll blame me for [35:39] causing problems. Who did not vote for Trump? Young man, he wants to be, he's a young man, [35:50] he thinks he's being cute. As, as he gets pounded on. Now, he, he just said, no, I did. I was the [35:57] first. He said, I'm the first. But the Democrats voted in favor of Iran having a nuclear weapon, [36:05] and they voted against military spending. But I overrode that. Let me tell you, if the Democrats [36:10] get in, your 15,000 trucks that Mr. Roy is looking to get are dead. They're not going to have 15,000, [36:18] they're not going to have 15 trucks. They'll be back to the number I originally guessed, right? [36:23] How many are you making? 15? 15,000 trucks will be down to nothing, zero. And they'll make you put [36:29] electric on it, you know, electric so that when you're in the middle of a jungle someplace and you [36:34] need a charge, where's my charging booth? As opposed to carrying a nice tank of diesel on your back, [36:42] throwing it in and taking it off, right? Where's my charging booth? They'll be saying. They created the [36:49] strongest, we created the strongest military in history. And you see that with Venezuela, [36:55] Venezuela, one day operation, like great, good, good army. And now we're making a lot of money with [37:02] Venezuela. And Venezuela is doing great also. We have a, it's a happy country now. But it took us [37:08] exactly 48 minutes to win that war. We're the greatest military in the world, 48 minutes. [37:13] And, and we've paid for the cost of the war. Where do you hear this? 28 times already. More, [37:23] but 28 times. So the cost of the war, we've already, because we have, we brought millions of barrels of [37:28] oil out and we're getting along great. The, uh, the people running it, they're our people, they're great [37:34] people. And the people are happy in the country. They have smiles, they were miserable, they were starving, [37:39] but they have a lot of oil under that ground. You know how you fired, find oil in Venezuela and just [37:44] look at the ground, you'll see oil bubbling up. They have so much oil, they don't know what to do [37:49] with it, but had a bad system. They're making more money now for the country than they've ever made [37:53] before. And we're making a lot of money too. But also Iran, we knocked them out one week. It was [37:59] essentially militarily over much bigger country, 91 million people and much different ideology. The, [38:07] the ideology of the Muslims is slightly different than the ideology of the Catholics. We have the [38:13] Catholics and the Muslims slightly different, but Venezuela has been great and Iran's been great. [38:19] I mean, you know, if Iran's reasonable, they're smart. Otherwise we'll have to finish the job, [38:24] which will take about maybe less than a week, but they're going to be okay. I think they're going to do [38:29] what they have to do because we want to have it done. But they voted against lower energy prices, [38:35] the Democrats did. And then they went on to create the highest energy prices that we've ever had in [38:40] the history of our country. People don't realize that much higher than ours during a war. They had [38:46] the highest inflation in history, the highest inflation in history, they say 48 years, but [38:51] that's sort of history as far as I'm concerned. And they were absolutely terrible on affordability. [38:57] Remember, I got here my first day, the fake news is screaming at me, what about affordability? [39:04] I'm only here one day. Remember, eggs were up about five times higher than they ever were. [39:09] And we have prices are coming down right now at levels that you've never seen. And now with oil [39:15] crashing, you're going to see something really amazing. And to top everything else, they let 25 [39:21] million people into our country, many of them criminals and thugs and people from mental institutions and [39:27] drug dealers. They even let 11,888 murderers into our country. Murderers, 11,888. More than 50% of [39:40] which have killed more than one person. And I've gotten the worst of them out. We've gotten them out, [39:45] Tom Holman and our whole group of people. But the Democrats want open borders and they want them all to [39:57] come back in. You can imagine that. The people of this commonwealth will never let that happen again. [40:03] What they allowed to happen to our country, we can never allow to happen again. As an example, [40:10] the war with Russia and Ukraine would have never, ever started of our president. We can never let [40:15] elections get rigged again. But we're pleased to be joined today by one of those Pennsylvanians who's [40:21] benefiting from the historic tax cuts, Sergeant Sam Elias with the Bethlehem Police Department, [40:27] who's a great guy. Ooh, they know him. Sam works the night patrol so that he can help his wife take [40:35] care of their six beautiful children during the day. And I'm told their youngest is named Melania. Can [40:40] you believe that? They named Melania. Where did you come up with that one? After our great first lady. [40:47] So Sam is taking home thousands of dollars extra because of no tax on overtime. And Sam, do you want to [40:53] come up and say a few words? Come on up. Come on up, sir. Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone. [41:10] I'd like to express my appreciation to President Trump, Congressman Ryan McKenzie, and the entire [41:18] White House administration. As a father of six children in a single income household, I can tell [41:27] you the working family's tax cuts is a policy that helps my family. Hard work should pay off, [41:34] not get punished with higher taxes. No tax on overtime, no tax on tips, means more money in the [41:43] pockets of working Americans. For my family, these savings have translated to what was once a trip, [41:52] a day trip to the park, is now an overnight stay at the Jersey Shore. Bigger tax returns have allowed [42:00] Americans to create new family memories and save for future projects. As the president said, I also [42:07] work night shift as a police sergeant in the fine city of Bethlehem. Thank you. A shortage in police [42:20] recruitment has left our department depleted of officers. Our officers get called out for overtime [42:27] to cover these shortages. Some pay periods, officers are working over 40 hours of overtime. That's why [42:35] I'm grateful for no tax on overtime. Thank you, Mr. President. I'm also thankful for the support [42:48] President Trump and Congressman McKenzie have shown for law enforcement. You understand that communities [42:57] thrive when we invest in public safety. Congressman McKenzie has stood strong with public safety and [43:05] working families, and that's why he's been endorsed by the brothers and sisters of Bethlehem FOP Star Lodge 20. [43:12] Congressman McKenzie has been on the front lines in supporting public safety. He secured $700,000 [43:25] for the Bethlehem Police Department for much-needed technology and equipment upgrades at our police [43:30] department, along with bringing home $1.6 million in funding for volunteer firehouses and infrastructure. [43:39] Thank you, Congressman. I'm a very grateful American, a son to Lebanese immigrants who came to the United [43:54] States 50 years ago in pursuit of the American dream. My 80-year-old father is here with me today. He [44:10] would often tell me, work hard and it'll pay off. Well, 50 years later, thanks to President Trump and [44:18] Congressman McKenzie. My father's dream has come true. I thank you for that. [44:31] Additionally, thank you to President Trump and your entire administration. After more than 50 years, [44:38] the Lebanese people finally have an American ally who advocates for a sovereign and independent Lebanon [44:46] governed by the Lebanese people. Thank you for that. Mr. President, you have the support of almost 20 [44:55] million Lebanese people worldwide. Leadership is more than a title. It's action. I'm grateful for the [45:09] actions coming from President Trump and Congressman Ryan McKenzie. Your actions have prioritized the [45:16] American dream. Less taxes, safer communities, and America first policies. I thank you, President Trump. [45:25] Happy belated birthday. And happy birthday to the United States of America. Thank you and God bless. [45:32] Thank you very much. Thank you very much. You know, I just looked at all these pages. I said, [45:57] oh, we're in trouble. But you know what? That was good. That was a good job. I was a little worried [46:04] when I saw the pages after page. Very good. Great job. Sam, where's your father? Hello, Pop. How are you? [46:17] Got a good boy. Got a good boy. Yeah, taking care of your people. So our administration is also [46:24] delivering one historic win after another for another group that works a lot of overtime, [46:29] and that's our great autoworkers. We have a lot of autoworkers in here today. [46:34] Just as I promised, the UAW workers, and we did great with them. You know, Republicans, [46:39] I don't know, for whatever reason, they don't do like I do. But in the campaign, I ended Biden's insane [46:46] electric vehicle mandate, that crazy mandate, which meant that in a short while, all cars had to be [46:54] all electric, and many of them would be built in China and others in foreign countries all over [47:00] the world. That's what was going to happen. And I stopped that. I ended it my first week in office. [47:05] I ran on it. And you know what? If you like electric cars, I think that's great. I wouldn't [47:10] say Elon was thrilled with what I did, but he understood that. But if you like electric cars, [47:15] I think it's great. But you have to have the right to buy a regular — I mean, we have more gasoline [47:20] than any country anywhere in the world if you want to have gas. If you want to have a hybrid, [47:24] you can have whatever the hell you want, including electric. But I terminated Biden's disastrous [47:30] fuel emission standards that would have crushed Mack trucks. Mr. Roy, your company would be crushed if I [47:38] didn't do that. You would have been — you wouldn't be bidding on anything. Neither would anybody else. [47:42] It was the most insane environmental regulations ever conceived of by a man. It was totally [47:47] unreasonable and ridiculous. And you can sell trucks for much less money that are now much [47:53] better trucks that work, that actually work. And we made interest on auto loans, fully tax deductible, [48:00] but only if you buy a car that is made in the USA. Otherwise, we're not interested. Otherwise, [48:08] we're not interested. And I saved the auto manufacturing business in America. We have [48:14] more auto plants being built today than we've had in 60 years than I think maybe ever. And bigger and [48:21] better. They had one, a big one in a certain state that I love also. I love a lot of places. And they [48:28] took out this old plant, but it was big. And I said, did you redo it yet? They said, we're not redoing [48:33] it. We're ripping down and building a brand new one, a beauty. You know the one I'm talking about, [48:37] David. But we're pleased to be joined today by Pat McHugh, a Marine Corps veteran, a great guy [48:43] who spent 28 years with Mack trucks. And he leads the cab assembly and serves as new product line [48:52] launch leader. It's a big deal. And Pat's grandfather worked here. His dad worked here. And now his son is [48:58] working here and doing well. And they know how important it is to keep manufacturing jobs in [49:04] Pennsylvania. Pat, say a few words. Wow. Good afternoon, Mr. President. It is a profound honor [49:24] and privilege to have you here with us today to help celebrate the upcoming 250th birthday of our [49:31] America. Most recently, our 125th anniversary of building Mack trucks. My name is Patrick McHugh Jr. [49:58] and I am a proud Marine Corps veteran. In addition to that, though, I am an even prouder Mack truck employee. [50:12] Standing here with me today is my father and my son, both Mack truck workers. Together, they have a [50:29] combined 78 years working experience building the greatest trucks on earth. You can say Mack trucks runs [50:44] in our blood. At Mack trucks, we work hard to build the trucks that help build America. And we are proud [50:53] that those trucks are built in the United States of America, along with our UAW colleagues. We're open [51:06] for business, and we're producing the best quality trucks we ever have. On behalf of our entire team, [51:14] we warmly welcome you to our plant, Mr. President, home of the finest trucks in America, built by the most [51:21] skilled and dedicated workforce in the trucking industry. So, Mr. President, I want to say thank [51:53] you for choosing to highlight Mack trucks on your visit today. And thank you for supporting our American [51:59] workforce. Thank you, Pat. That's a good family. That's a great family. Great people. They're proud [52:22] of your company. I want to also thank two people, very special people, because I know them and I know [52:28] what they do, and it's not easy, but they've done a great job. David Durgan and Timothy Herzog of the [52:36] UAW committee. Where are you guys? Thank you. They do a good job representing you. Ease up just a little [52:52] bit so they can get the contract, okay? Just a little bit. Thank you, fellas. Get this congressman elected. [53:00] That's what you got to do. But we're pleased to be joined also by Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling. Keith, [53:07] where are you, Keith? Where's Keith? Hi, Keith. Good job. Is he treating you guys good? Is he all right? [53:17] He better, he better treat you good. A very special guy, somebody that everybody wanted. I have to tell [53:23] you, everybody wanted him. He's some person who was actually an astronaut. He went out, he made a lot of [53:30] money because he's smart. And he's now the NASA administrator. You saw that rocket two months ago [53:36] up and go around the moon and record levels the furthest any ship has ever flown and come back. [53:43] And he's working very heavily on the moon. But what he's done with NASA is amazing. [53:47] And he's a very special person and a brilliant one. Jared Isaacman. Jared, thank you. Great job. [54:01] As well as, you know, I introduced him a little bit only by the name David because he knows me and I [54:06] know him by David. But David McCormick is your senator. And he's a brilliant person, brilliant [54:11] businessman. And he loves the Commonwealth. He loves, he loves Pennsylvania. And this is where [54:20] he wanted to be. And he had a rough, I told you, he had a rough fight. This is a rough beating like 24 [54:25] years and a father for 24 years. I don't know. I said, I don't know. You sure you know what you're doing, [54:30] David? But you won and you won easily. And I'll tell you what, you have a great senator, [54:35] one of the best in the country. So I just want to thank you very much, David. Thank you. [54:43] And four warriors for Pennsylvania in Congress. These are warriors. Lloyd Smucker is here. Lloyd, [54:51] thank you. Thank you. John Joyce is here. John, thank you. Dan Muser is here. Thank you. And these [55:06] guys are all in good shape. But we got to get Ryan McKenzie elected. We got to get Ryan. I'm not [55:17] here for them. I'm here for him. We got to get Ryan elected. Run up here, Ryan, fast. Nobody wants [55:23] to hear you. Come on, just run up. Nobody wants to hear you, Ryan. Do what David did. He'd go up for [55:30] one minute. Thank you very much, everybody. It's nice to be here. And everybody thought he was the [55:33] greatest speaker. Okay. Say a few words. Excellent. Well, Mr. President, I can't thank you enough for [55:41] coming here to the Lehigh Valley, highlighting the great men and women of Mack trucks, doing all the work [55:48] that you do in Washington, D.C., for our veterans, our first responders, and everybody across this [55:54] country to continue to maintain America as the greatest country in the world. You are the president [56:01] that is fighting for all Americans. Thank you for being here, sir. That's great. Wow. That's great. [56:21] He learned something from you, David. That's great. We also have one of the greatest writers anywhere in [56:29] the country who knows more about the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I think than anybody. She's a [56:36] terrific person. Right from the beginning, she said Trump is going to win. Therefore, I like her. [56:43] She said Trump is going to win in 2015. In fact, she wrote an article in 2014. She said, [56:49] this guy Trump should run. I hadn't thought too much about it. I was having a lot of fun putting up [56:54] buildings. But she was very early on. And I really mean, I don't think she, I don't think there's [57:01] anybody that knows more about it. They used to call it the Rust Belt. I call it the Money Belt now. It's [57:05] gone from the Rust Belt to the Money Belt. Either one is okay. But there's nobody that knows more about [57:11] it than Selena Zito. She's fantastic. Where are you, Selena? Where are you, Selena, with your beautiful [57:18] daughter? Thank you, Selena. Selena's an incredible woman. And her daughter is following in her footsteps. [57:29] She's just been so good. Very powerful writer, actually. Some of the biggest papers in the world. [57:34] It's nice to have good stories on occasion, truthful stories. Thanks as well to the president of the NRA [57:40] who's here with me, Bill Bakkenberg. Bill, stand up. And they always give me their endorsement [57:53] because I saved the Second Amendment. And you think it's easy. On occasion, it was not easy, [57:59] right, Bill? But we did it. We did it with your help. And we're doing a couple of other things, [58:05] working with you and your people. But I think you've done a fantastic job. The NRA, everybody, [58:10] they really have been. They've been with me right from the beginning. And Bill asked me, [58:17] would I support the national right to carry legislation? How do you feel about national [58:22] right to carry? That's my free poll. You know what that is? That's a free poll. I don't have to pay [58:33] $300,000 to somebody that doesn't even do polling, you know, to give you phony numbers. [58:38] See, those are real numbers. National right to carry. Yeah, we're working on it. And we have a very [58:44] special guest who you just saw on the highest rated fight show ever in the history of television, [58:54] the UFC Freedom 250. So this guy, well, I just have to set it up a little bit if I don't move, [59:01] because I'm thinking, you know, I'm a similar size. I'm actually, I weigh more than he does, [59:04] actually. So therefore, I have a tremendous physical advantage over him. His muscles are [59:10] slightly harder and slightly younger. He's a lot younger. But I think I can do it because I'm a [59:16] great athlete. He knows I'm a very good golfer. And I'm much better off on the golf course against [59:23] him than I'm on the wrestling man. But he went virtually undefeated. I mean, he went four years. [59:27] He was the top wrestler. His friend, Tony, who's another champion, I'll introduce you to, Tony. [59:34] But these two guys were on the Penn State team. And Bo Nickel went, I mean, you couldn't defeat the [59:41] guy. And then he had every battle. I guess he was three or four-time All-American. But then he [59:48] turned pro and he went to the UFC. Did you find them tougher? Yes. A little different. You know, [59:54] a little different. But he's won just about everything. But he had a big fight last week [1:00:01] with a lot of pressure, with the White House in the background. And he's a guy that I like. I [1:00:05] met him a while ago. I looked at the ears. I said, man, this guy's a fighter. You can tell a lot by the [1:00:11] ears. And he told me, no, he doesn't mind the ears. He likes them. It's almost a symbol. For great [1:00:16] fighters, it's a symbol. That's why I'm worried about you, Tony. You have pretty normal ears. [1:00:20] But I got to know Bo a little bit and I got to root for him. And I almost felt like his father up [1:00:26] there. His father's great. But I felt like his father, so I was nervous for the fight. And he [1:00:31] was fighting somebody that Dana White, the great Dana White, he's a phenomenal guy. He said, no, [1:00:36] Bo's got a tough one tonight. I said, why? Why do you do that to him? Because if you lose it this [1:00:41] night, it was the biggest audience they've ever had by far. The whole world watched it. The people [1:00:47] at the White House, we had 5,000 seats around the cage we built. And we had 100,000, more than 100,000 [1:00:54] people in the park right next door. We had the largest television audience they've ever had by [1:00:59] far. They said, why do you have to give him such a tough opponent? He was pretty tough. But then it [1:01:05] happened. So Bo is known as a great wrestler because he was the best wrestler by far in college. [1:01:10] Nobody could beat him. And I figured Bo would be wrestling. But no, he wasn't wrestling. He was [1:01:17] punching. I said, Bo, grab his legs and start wrestling. That's what you do. But he didn't do that. [1:01:22] He didn't listen to me. And he got a shot off that was brutal. And in the first round, [1:01:28] right, knocked him out. He was really knocked out. A good, great fighter. The guy was a great [1:01:33] fighter, is a great fighter. So I just want to thank, you know, he's from Penn State. He loves Penn [1:01:38] State. He is the NCAA wrestling champion and just fantastic. And his friend, and you probably know, [1:01:48] is also, I think you were roommates, right? That's a tough room. I wouldn't want to fight these two guys. [1:01:53] Let's go pick on those two guys. I don't think so. But he was the heavyweight and he lost a lot [1:01:58] of weight. He weighed 35, 40 pounds. I asked him, how much did you wrestle? About 40 pounds heavier. [1:02:03] In other words, you want to live, right? You decide to lose it. But he was also the champion, [1:02:08] NCAA champion. And his name is Anthony Kassar. So come up here, fellas, because I want to just ask [1:02:14] the audience a question. Come here. Come here, Bo. So here's my question. If I work out for the next [1:02:23] couple of months, really work hard, lifting those weights away, and really, really work. [1:02:28] Could I beat Bo or Anthony in wrestling? You're very disloyal. You're very disloyal. Say a couple [1:02:36] of words about your fight. Thank you. Appreciate it. [1:02:42] Wow. What an honor to be here. I think walking up here, I was almost as nervous as the fight. [1:02:48] But it feels like a fight. Yeah, it feels like it. But this is exciting. I'm grateful to be here with [1:02:54] everybody. So grateful to President Trump for making an event that, in my mind, never seen [1:03:01] possible happen. UFC Freedom 250 on the White House lawn. Unbelievable. I don't think there are [1:03:10] too many presidents that have the courage to do something like that. And, you know, just so [1:03:15] unbelievable. For me, both my parents were high school teachers. My dad was a wrestling coach. My [1:03:21] grandpa was a wrestling coach. And I grew up around sports and just competing from five years old. And so [1:03:28] to be able to do something like that is a dream come true. And it's just through hard work, effort, [1:03:34] discipline, and a lot of time in the wrestling room, a lot of time in the cage that I was able to do [1:03:40] that. And that's really because America is the land of opportunity. And if you set your mind to [1:03:45] something and you feel passionate about what you do, you can accomplish anything. And thank you. [1:03:52] I want to tell, I don't want to take too much time, but I want to tell a quick story about the first time I [1:04:01] met President Trump. It was in 2019 at the White House. And our team and I won the Nationals, [1:04:06] the NCAAs, and at Penn State, we are. Let's go. [1:04:12] And we were given the opportunity to meet President Trump. And it was really special [1:04:19] because he took a lot of extra time to talk with us as wrestlers. I think he respected the wrestlers a [1:04:25] lot. And I told him that when I'm done wrestling, I was going to fight. And he asked me if I needed a [1:04:30] manager. And I thought that he has better things to do than that. But really, since then, I feel [1:04:38] like we've had a special connection that I'm extremely grateful for. And fast forward seven [1:04:43] years, I'm fighting on the White House lawn. And I turn and look at my corner and President Trump is [1:04:49] right next to him. And so it really felt, it felt to me like he was in my corner. I know that was [1:05:01] something that was just so special. And I feel like just incredibly grateful. And overall, the [1:05:08] whole week of the experience, everything, the word that kept coming to mind and the emotion that I [1:05:13] kept feeling was gratitude. And I'm grateful for President Trump, grateful for all my friends and [1:05:20] family and supporters. And I'm grateful to be an American. And it's the best country on earth. And [1:05:26] God bless you all. How's everybody doing? This is an awesome crowd. I'll keep this really short. [1:05:41] It's just an honor to be here. Bo and I have been roommates since our freshman year at Penn State [1:05:45] and never could imagine this. But it's an honor to support Mr. President, this great nation, [1:05:51] and the American workers that build the foundation of the United States of America. So as a small [1:05:57] business owner, real estate investor, I just want to thank President Trump for the big, beautiful bill, [1:06:03] all he's done for small business owners. And most importantly, I pray that God will continue to [1:06:08] bless him and guide him to lead this great nation. And God bless all of us. Thank you. [1:06:13] Two great champions. That's great. It's good to have him here, too. We have a lot of champions in [1:06:33] the audience. These are two very special people. When you do that, I was saying to myself, you know, [1:06:38] going into that ring and you got all these people, we had the richest and the biggest politicians, [1:06:44] we had the biggest of everything. You couldn't get a ticket. The tickets were selling for some crazy [1:06:48] numbers I heard. We gave them away to everybody, but somehow some got out. And, uh, I was saying [1:06:55] that's a tremendous amount of pressure and you're fighting the toughest people on earth. I mean, [1:07:00] these are the strongest, toughest men on earth. No women in the crowd, but which is nice. But these are [1:07:09] the toughest men on earth and, uh, it's tremendous pressure. And you know, the muscles, you got the [1:07:15] muscles, you guys, you got the big, strong muscles, but you got this muscle too, because it takes much more [1:07:20] than just the normal muscle to win those matches. I mean, the strategy and the genius that goes in. [1:07:25] It is a genius. A lot of people wouldn't understand that. But there's a genius. There's a genius in [1:07:30] sports, but there's a great amount of courage and power that you have that a lot of other people [1:07:36] don't have. So congratulations, really. Great job. Great job. Good to have you here. In everything we do, [1:07:45] we're once again fighting for the people of Pennsylvania, and that includes our amazing [1:07:50] Pennsylvania oil and gas workers. And I ended last administration's war on Pennsylvania energy, [1:07:56] and I signed an order to drill, baby, drill. That's what we did. Right, David? And you helped. [1:08:06] The United States is now the number one producer of oil and gas on earth, larger than Russia and [1:08:13] Saudi Arabia combined by a lot. Think of that. Who would have thought that? We were in fourth place. [1:08:20] Now we're larger than, and that doesn't include Venezuela. Include Venezuela once because [1:08:26] it's essentially should be included. I also ended the war on clean, beautiful Pennsylvania coal. In fact, [1:08:33] in my administration, you're not, because you know coal was dead. China uses it. Other countries, [1:08:39] very successful countries use it. The unsuccessful countries use wind, those beautiful windmills that [1:08:45] blow around and round and don't do anything except cost you money. Every time it goes around, [1:08:50] you lose $10. It's supposed to make money with energy, not lose money. No, wind is, every country [1:08:56] that's using wind is a disaster. Every country that's using our beautiful substances from underground [1:09:03] are doing very nicely. Thank you. But in my administration, you're not allowed to say the word [1:09:08] coal without proceeding that word with the words clean, beautiful. So you say clean, beautiful coal. [1:09:16] Coal. And I have Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum, who's fantastic, and Chris Wright. And they [1:09:23] made a speech about coal and they mentioned coal like 50 times in the speech. It's all about coal. [1:09:28] And they kept saying clean, beautiful coal, clean, beautiful coal. I said, no, no, it's enough. [1:09:32] It's enough. But we're not allowed to use the word coal without saying, because what they can do with coal [1:09:37] today is amazing. It is clean. It is beautiful. They can clean it. And it's a very powerful form of energy. [1:09:43] And if you look at China, they're building 57 coal plants, big monster plants all over their country. [1:09:49] And then we're not supposed to do that? No, we're doing that. Clean, beautiful coal. We've [1:09:54] invested over $1 billion to save dozens of coal mines. We've saved them. They were ready to close, [1:10:00] and some had closed. And more than 100 coal power plants, including the Keystone and the [1:10:05] Conmar generating stations right here in Pennsylvania, as you know, are really moving now [1:10:12] and employing a lot of people. They were all getting ready to close up. They were essentially [1:10:17] closed. We're working hard to lower the cost for all consumers, and we want powerful energy. [1:10:23] Under my administration, the most favored nation agreements on drug prices that we just did are [1:10:29] delivering the largest prescription drug price cuts in history with numbers like 400, 500, [1:10:37] and even a 600 percent reduction from where it was. Think of that. That alone should win us the midterm. [1:10:44] And the fake news back there refuses to talk about it because they know how good it is because they [1:10:50] can't produce it. They've been trying to do it for years, favored nation. We paid the highest drug price [1:10:56] in the world by far. As an example for the fat drug, which Bo and Tony don't need to take, [1:11:03] but a lot of people are taking. Who takes the fat drug? So in New York, think of it, [1:11:08] it was costing a fortune many, many times. It was costing $1,300. And in London, it was $87. [1:11:18] And a friend of mine who's extremely fat, sloppy, but very brilliant. He's a brilliant businessman, [1:11:25] but he's a slob. There's no question about it. Very neurotic person, which you need sometimes to [1:11:31] be successful. But he called me up. He used to call me Donnie. Donnie. Now he calls me Mr. President. [1:11:36] That's a sign of great respect. But he said, President, I just came over here and I bought, [1:11:42] I won't say Ozempic or whatever the hell it was, but I bought the fat drug. I said, I didn't know you [1:11:48] used it because it's not working. And I used him as, he's begging me not to use his name, so I won't, [1:11:55] but he's a very successful guy. He's actually a pretty well-known guy, brilliant business guy, [1:12:00] worth a lot of money. And he checked. He just, you know, he said, well, how come in London, [1:12:05] I just sent out and I'm paying $87 and in New York, I'm paying $1,300. I said, because that's [1:12:13] the way the prices are rigged and it's rigged. The whole world is rigged against us. And I said, [1:12:19] but you know what? You brought it out better than anybody could bring it out because I've been looking [1:12:23] at it. They all said it was impossible to do. And I went to the drug companies. I said, [1:12:27] well, it's not going to be any more. You're going to raise their price a little bit. You're going to [1:12:30] lower ours a lot because the world is bigger than us. So it really worked that way. And they said, [1:12:35] well, we'll do it. They were very unhappy, but they knew I wouldn't get it from the countries [1:12:39] because you had to get it from the countries. Then I went to France. I said to a very nice man named [1:12:46] Emmanuel Macron, I said, Emmanuel, you've got to raise your prices on drugs. [1:12:51] Of course I will not do that. Why would I do that? Because it's unfair. We're paying [1:12:56] 10 times more than you. And you're going to have to raise them a little bit. We're going to drop [1:13:00] ours a lot. He said, no, no, I will not do that. I said, yes, you will. He said, I will not do that. [1:13:05] I said, yes, you will. We're putting a 100% tariff on all wines and champagnes coming into the United [1:13:10] States. He said, yes, I will do that. I promise. And I had the same conversation with Germany, [1:13:17] with every country, with UK, every single one of them within five minutes agreed to do it. Nobody [1:13:22] could believe it. And they agreed to raise their price. And we have gotten the biggest price reductions [1:13:30] in the history of drugs, medical. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. So instead of paying $1,300, [1:13:42] you'll be paying about $175. Nobody's ever done that before. And this is on many, many drugs, [1:13:51] a pill that sells for $10 in London and selling for $150 in Texas or any place. It's all the same [1:14:00] in the United States. They basically discriminated. So now instead of $10, it goes to $20. Because again, [1:14:06] the world is a big place. And we would bring ours down to $20 from like $150 down to $20. This is the [1:14:12] kind of price reductions you're getting. Go to trump.com, by the way. And I didn't name it. [1:14:18] That was Bobby Kennedy that did it with Dr. Oz. Everyone thinks I named it. I did not name it. [1:14:22] But that side is through the roof. And these are the biggest price reductions in the history of our [1:14:28] country for anything having to do with drugs, prescription medicine. So that alone should win the [1:14:36] midterms. And there's a real chance that they would end it because they're totally controlled [1:14:39] by these foreign countries, the Democrats, the Democrats. So starting next week, weight loss [1:14:46] drugs will be available for just $50. Think of that for seniors who previously had to pay $1,200, [1:14:55] $1,300, $1,400. Couldn't pay it. Think of that. Now, they don't want to write. Look, [1:15:01] they turn the cameras off when they talk about it because they don't want good stuff for us, [1:15:04] because they don't want us to win elections. And why, I don't know. Why they want to have people [1:15:09] pouring into our country. Why they want to have high taxes. Why they want to have all of these [1:15:13] problems that took place over the last four years in the last administration, one of the [1:15:19] worst administrations in history. But that the other ones wouldn't be much better [1:15:23] because they have all of these crazy policies. They've gone communist. But just over one year ago, [1:15:28] we inherited the worst border in history. But I quickly turned it into the most secure border in the [1:15:34] history of our country by far. Almost nobody is able to get in. And in the past 13 months, [1:15:44] and this is a chart kept by generally Democrat people. In the past 13 months, zero illegal aliens [1:15:53] have been admitted into the United States. Think of that. Zero. And even I find that hard to put, [1:16:03] but it's zero. I mean, they'd love to have it be high, but we can't do that. We have a country, [1:16:08] and we're going to run it well. We don't want to have prisons released into it. Some of these [1:16:13] countries were emptying their prisons into the United States of America through the southern border. [1:16:18] Prisons, prison population. Some of the countries had no prison population left. You know what that [1:16:23] saves them? Some of them had no mental institutions. The mental institutions were taken. All of those [1:16:29] people were taken to our southern border and allowed to just walk freely into our country [1:16:34] under sleepy Joe Biden and his group of thugs. They're a group of real thugs. Weaponization. [1:16:40] That's all they're good at. Weaponization and cheating on elections. In 2025, we achieved the largest [1:16:46] drop in the murder rate ever recorded in the history of our country, despite the fact that we haven't [1:16:51] gotten all of these criminals out of our country. We had the lowest since 1900. That's 125 years ago. [1:17:04] And we cut the flow of fentanyl across our border by 56 percent. That's a big number. [1:17:14] And we cut the flow of illegal drugs coming in by water, coming in by ocean or sea. We cut it by 97 percent. [1:17:31] 97 percent. It was, it's very drastic, but people aren't traveling that way too much anymore. [1:17:40] What we, what we're able, we have the most powerful. I built the military in my first term. [1:17:45] We used it in my second term more than I thought, but we have no choice. We have no choice. But think [1:17:50] of it. We cut fentanyl. For years they've been interdicting. They've been grabbing boats, [1:17:54] bringing them in, putting them in court. They go out by the same night. They're back sending drugs [1:18:00] by the ocean, by the Gulf, by the sea. And now it's down 97 percent. And we're looking for the 3 percent [1:18:08] because I think those 3 percent are more brave than Bo Nickel was any day. The 3 percent of the people that are [1:18:13] willing to get into a boat to deliver drugs now, they are the bravest people perhaps anywhere in [1:18:19] the world. But it won't happen long. But what we've done is amazing. Our military, we have the greatest [1:18:26] military in the world. We have the greatest law enforcement in the world. And we have the highest [1:18:36] number of recruiting. So a year and a half ago, it was headlines. Nobody wanted to join the military, [1:18:44] the Army, Navy, Marines. Nobody wanted to join any of them. Air Force, Space Force. I love Space Force. [1:18:52] Coast Guard. Nobody wanted to join any of the military. They had tremendous recruitment problems. [1:18:58] And even it carried over to the police. You have great police here. The police and the fire departments. [1:19:03] Nobody wanted to do anything with the name America, anything with the uniform. And today we have the [1:19:09] highest recruitment, the most successful recruitment. Every single slot is filled. [1:19:15] And that includes they want to be policemen and they want to be firemen and women. [1:19:21] So we went from the least successful in our history, David, to the most successful in the history [1:19:29] in terms of recruitment. It was very embarrassing. A year and a half ago, two years ago, and it all [1:19:36] happened from November 5th. That's where we won the election. From November 5th on, everybody wants to be [1:19:41] a soldier. Everybody wants to be in the Army, the Navy, the Marines. They want to fly the jets in the [1:19:48] Air Force. The Coast Guard is hot. Everything's hot. And of course, Air Force. You know, I started [1:19:54] Air Force. That was a part of the Air Force. The Space Force was part of the Air Force. I said, [1:19:59] no, it's got to be separate. Got to do its own thing. And it's become. So we were in third place [1:20:05] four or five years ago. And I put it in. We were losing to China and to Russia. And now we're totally [1:20:10] ahead of both of them, like at numbers that they can't believe. Space Force could end up being one of your [1:20:15] most important. To stop the massive theft of taxpayer dollars, including millions of illegals, [1:20:21] we've launched the war on fraud led by our great vice president, J.D. Vance. He's doing a great job. [1:20:28] Doing a great job. Smart guy. We ended Medicaid for illegal immigrants and we redirected $50 billion [1:20:36] to make the largest investment in rural health in the history of our country, hospitals and everything [1:20:42] else in the rural areas. And with the help of our Republican majorities in Congress, we will defend [1:20:48] our jobs, our factories, our safety, and we will defend our borders like never before. We will crush [1:20:55] violent crime, impose harsh new penalties and dangerous repeat offenders that shouldn't be in our [1:21:01] country, crack down on Marxist prosecutors and judges, and we will immediately end the most dangerous [1:21:09] thing that's ever been put into our country from the standpoint of law enforcement. It's called no cash [1:21:16] bail. You kill someone, you go to the judge, they let you out, then you kill somebody in the afternoon. [1:21:21] It's crazy. That was the beginning of crime. We will pass the great health care plan to stop all payments [1:21:29] to big insurance companies and give the money directly to the people so they can buy their own [1:21:34] health care, which will be much better care at a much lower cost. And we will pass the Save America [1:21:45] Act to protect our sacred American election. And in the Save America Act, it's very simple. All voters [1:21:58] must show a photo, voter ID. Very nice. May we see a picture, please? All voters must provide proof of [1:22:07] citizenship. And there will be no mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, military deployment [1:22:14] or travel. And we will also in that same bill enshrine in permanent law, no men in women's sports [1:22:29] and no transgender surgery for our children. So together with the help of patriots throughout [1:22:38] Pennsylvania and all across the land, we will make America powerful again. We will make America wealthy [1:22:48] again. We will make America healthy again. It's all happening. It's all happening. We will make America [1:23:00] strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America [1:23:12] great again. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you, Ben Salvation.
