[0:00] One of several Democrats who are all tripping over each other to pander to their increasingly radical, anti-Semitic socialist base is going to emerge as my opponent in November.
[0:12] No matter who it is, though, their campaign is going to be based on a single issue, and that's how much they hate President Trump and will refuse to work with him on anything if elected.
[0:25] Now ask yourself, and I'm talking to people both in this room today and those who may watch or read about this event later, is that really the kind of member of Congress you want representing one of the most purple House districts in the country?
[0:43] Do you really want a far-left Democrat who is going to be a rubber stamp for hyper-partisanship and wholly unserious leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, AOC, Chuck Schumer, or Kathy Hochul?
[0:58] Let's call balls and strikes, folks. The people I mentioned don't just disagree with the President and Republicans politically.
[1:13] In fact, I don't think it's going too far to say that they and some in their party are exclusively driven by anger and even hatred on a level that is turning up the heat in our politics to a very dangerous level.
[1:27] I offer something completely different, and my record proves it. I have been consistently rated one of the most bipartisan and effective members of Congress.
[1:38] I'm a Republican who actively works with common-sense Democrats on key issues, someone who is not afraid to challenge his own party's leaders when I believe they are wrong or acting against the interests of the Hudson Valley,
[1:57] and someone who understands that to get things done in Congress, in either party, you need to have a strong working relationship with the President of the United States.
[2:08] The fact is, I do have a strong working relationship, and in part, it's why he's here today and about to deliver remarks.
[2:24] And because of that relationship with the President and across the aisle, I've delivered for the Hudson Valley in a way that no member of Congress has been able to in generations.
[2:39] From SALT to bringing back tens of millions in community project funding for law enforcement, clean drinking water, infrastructure, and healthcare, to passing dozens of bills, and having the best constituent services in the country, and I want to thank each and every one of my staff who works tirelessly on behalf of this district.
[3:02] Folks, we are getting things done for Rockland County and the Hudson Valley, and we are getting things done for the United States of America.
[3:20] The best is yet to come.
[3:23] Thank you, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.
[3:29] Back to this.
[3:30] Anybody answer you?
[16:10] They never do.
[17:16] I want to make sure I get my new...
[17:17] You'll hear the track most, but it's going to be like a split second we have.
[17:24] You know, I'm here.
[17:38] It's all these fucking guys.
[17:39] I just turned it up.
[17:42] I hear something now.
[17:43] But again, it's not very clear.
[17:44] It's a little bit better, maybe.
[17:45] I got you.
[17:46] Yup.
[17:47] I got you, John.
[17:55] How you doing, man?
[17:56] Doing well.
[17:57] Ladies and gentlemen, please visit the United States of America.
[18:16] I got you, John.
[18:52] How you doing, man?
[18:53] Doing well.
[18:57] Ladies and gentlemen, please give a New York welcome to the Secretary of Commerce, Howard
[20:59] Lutnick.
[21:40] It's really wonderful to be back in the great state of New York.
[21:43] To be right here in Rockland County.
[21:45] As many...
[21:48] Oh, I hear him coming.
[21:49] Hear him coming!
[21:57] So as many of you know, New York is my home, and it's a great honor to be here today with
[22:09] the great and extraordinary President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
[22:22] Like me, President Trump grew up in New York, and he loves our state.
[22:28] We are fighting for New York, and we are in Washington fighting for you.
[22:33] New York helped build the industrial strength of America, and under Donald Trump, that strength
[22:38] is coming back.
[22:41] For years we tolerated weak politicians and these supposed experts who told us that the
[22:48] American people can't manufacture, and these jobs are gone, gone, gone.
[22:54] They said that factories needed to move overseas.
[22:58] They said that these companies needed to find the cheapest labor in the world.
[23:03] And when that stuff went overseas, it was never coming back.
[23:07] Well, Donald Trump is just too damn smart to listen to that.
[23:11] He understood the greatest economy with the greatest people, and the greatest consumers
[23:22] in the world are right here in America.
[23:25] And if the world wants access to our great economy, then they are going to have to build
[23:32] right here in America.
[23:36] President Trump said Americans are going to manufacture again.
[23:44] He said companies are going to come, and they're going to hire here.
[23:47] They're going to invest here, and they're going to build here in the United States,
[23:52] and, of course, right here in New York.
[23:55] And that's exactly what's happening.
[23:57] Businesses are investing in America again, and they're investing in New York.
[24:03] A couple of months ago, I went upstate to where Micron announced a $100 billion memory
[24:12] factory in New York.
[24:14] It's 10 football fields long, four of them.
[24:23] 10 football fields long each, 50,000 jobs, and that's only here because of Donald Trump as president.
[24:33] Global Foundry is another company, $16 billion in New York.
[24:42] That's manufacturing here.
[24:44] How about this one?
[24:46] General Motors.
[24:48] General Motors is going to build an engine factory in the great state of New York.
[24:55] Can you imagine that?
[24:56] General Motors building in New York.
[25:02] General Motors.

[25:39] trillion dollar economy that's us spending money that's us building that's
[25:45] us growing that's why the world wants to be here and so that's why the world is
[25:50] building here so when the president says this is the hottest country in the
[25:54] world he's done right so what does our administration say it says if you want
[26:06] to sell in America and if you want to be successful in America you darn well
[26:11] better build it in America that's the message that Donald Trump tells
[26:18] every CEO it's resounding in every boardroom in every foreign government
[26:25] in the world oh he's coming you know he's coming so when President Trump says
[26:38] America first when President Trump says America first he means America you built
[26:45] here America competes here our workers come first the Department of Commerce we
[26:51] execute his plan we open markets for American companies we fight for American
[26:57] exporters we bring investment into the United States in size that's never
[27:02] been imagined and our results are historic last year the Commerce Department
[27:09] brought in two hundred and forty four billion dollars of orders that's foreign
[27:15] people buying our goods so we can export to them and have great American jobs
[27:20] that's America winning around the world that's American workers filling orders
[27:28] that's American products beating the pants or for foreign competition check
[27:34] that helicopter out right there I've been on I've been on marine one and it's
[27:52] cool okay there's no other way to say it it's just cool and all this is
[27:58] happening because Donald Trump has shown the world that the United States is a
[28:03] manufacturing powerhouse again but you don't have to take my word for it we have
[28:08] record after record of exports and our economy is growing and growing and growing so
[28:16] what happens when we fight for you every day you have patriots like
[28:20] congressman Mike Lawler fighting for you in Washington working together
[28:28] President Trump and congressman Mike Lawler brought you the largest tax cut in
[28:33] American history Mike Lawler fought for New York and he delivered he made sure
[28:43] your state and local taxes what we call salt were deductible against your federal
[28:51] taxes that cut your taxes between 25 and 40 percent and that's Mike Lawler
[28:57] fighting for you because you got to remember these were all Republicans no
[29:02] Democrats voted for your tax cuts zero so that bill cut taxes on tips to zero no
[29:16] more tax on tips that bill cut taxes on overtime zero no tax on overtime and they
[29:23] cut your Social Security taxes for our great American seniors that one big
[29:27] beautiful bill and it's shocking for people that is all Republicans a L L not
[29:35] one single Democrat voted for those tax cuts zero you can't have them without
[29:46] leadership like Mike Lawler you can't have deductibility for your state local
[29:50] taxes without leadership like Mike Lawler and I want to just take a minute to
[29:54] recognize Bruce Blakeman who's a great guy but I've known for years and he's a great
[30:02] guy and he'd make a great governor this state serving in the cabinet of
[30:10] Donald Trump is the greatest honor of a lifetime as his Commerce Secretary my
[30:15] job is to bring in investment in America and we brought in 18 trillion dollars we're
[30:28] bringing confidence back to America we're proving to the world that America is the best
[30:33] place to build to hire to innovate and to grow so you got to thank President Trump
[30:40] for fighting for America and for fighting for New York he fights for American
[30:47] industry we fight using the power of the greatest economy the world has ever seen
[30:52] we're gonna thank President Trump for reversing decades of dumb politicians
[30:58] doing terrible things to our country he's bringing back strength he's bringing
[31:03] back leadership and he's bringing back prosperity so thank you New York let's go

[1:16:18] a u they're dumb they are democrats you know why because their policies are dumb their policies are
[1:16:26] very dumb all of that policies did you see they did an autopsy on why they lost the election and they
[1:16:34] said you lost the election because of trump primarily but other than trump you lost the
[1:16:39] election because you had crappy candidates and you had bad policy and they didn't know how to speak
[1:16:45] properly and they weren't smart people and various other reasons they spent 10 million dollars for
[1:16:51] the autopsy it was called an autopsy and they had typos jackson they had typos in every other sentence
[1:16:58] they had misspelled words they had commas in the wrong location they gave them 10 million dollars for
[1:17:04] the autopsy i could have given him the autopsy without any charge at all i said you had one
[1:17:11] candidate named sleepy joe biden what's a better name sleepy joe biden or crooked joe biden ready
[1:17:20] who likes sleepy joe biden who likes crooked joe biden about pretty similar they're both pretty good
[1:17:35] who likes crooked hillary anyway but you know we have another problem because we have the great law
[1:17:45] enforcement i met a lot of your law enforcement back there they're incredible but law enforcement
[1:17:52] i love them i got 99 of law enforcement vote can you believe it and we're trying to figure out we're
[1:18:01] trying to figure out who were the one percent we want to figure out who the hell were the one percent
[1:18:06] who would vote for kamala who would vote for sleepy joe but even the police are leaving they're going to
[1:18:13] florida tennessee texas they're going all over the place where they put them really where they give them
[1:18:20] respect the respect they have our respect they have everybody in this room's respect but it's this
[1:18:25] radical turnaround and we better do it fast because we're not going to have a new york left and we got
[1:18:31] to have new york left and you really can guys like mike lawler guys like bruce blakeman you put them
[1:18:38] in they'll turn it around bruce will go down to florida and he'll talk to all those companies that are
[1:18:47] leaving you'll get him to come back he's going to get him back it's not easy it's a lot easier to stop him
[1:18:53] from leaving don't you think bruce so but it's a campaign that i promised that i would cut taxes i
[1:18:59] had a big beautiful campaign we won in a landslide we won every swing state we won by millions of votes
[1:19:06] we won the electoral college and our fortune but we had another thing that we won 86 percent of the
[1:19:13] counties in america think of it that's why the map is all red except for two blue stripes and those were
[1:19:19] rigged by the way they were rigged on the they were rigged we had rigged elections but i cut your taxes
[1:19:27] and cut the taxes on workers families small business who are the soul of this state and i made special
[1:19:34] promises that i would save your thousands of dollars a year by restoring and we did that your state and
[1:19:40] local tax deductions and why did we save your salt deduction we brought it back mr salt mr salt
[1:19:51] where's your hat mike he's got a hat calling himself mr salt there it is beautiful i bet i think
[1:19:59] i'll take one of them but he did he didn't stop this guy was a pain in the ass it was terrible
[1:20:06] he didn't stop but he did you're lucky to have him in this community that i can tell you
[1:20:11] and and you had some good help from republicans right good help from republicans but with the help of
[1:20:18] your great congressman it's what happened we got your taxes cut not only from the standpoint of salt
[1:20:25] but your taxes were cut your take home pay is sort and uh all of the other things that we did when you
[1:20:31] look at what we've done and my motto was promises made promises kept and here in rockland county the
[1:20:38] typical owner you know your typical homeowner loses over fifteen thousand dollars each year alone
[1:20:46] because of your state taxes they're going to cut your state taxes in half and more than half they're
[1:20:51] going to they will do things that you won't believe and you know the bottom line is the state itself
[1:20:58] will make more money than it made before i did it i cut tremendous amounts of taxes in my first term
[1:21:05] we had the greatest most successful economy in history and by the way we're blowing it away
[1:21:11] in this term so today today today we just an amazing thing happened they said it couldn't happen for
[1:21:21] four years an amazing thing the dow jones hit 50 702 and the s p is way over 7 000 so these were two
[1:21:37] things that said they said he won't be able to do when i first got elected they said he won't be able
[1:21:42] to do that there's no way he's going to be able to do that in his first term which is my first term of
[1:21:50] numerous terms by the way you know we're a three-term president we just don't want the results
[1:21:55] we don't want we won three times but we only want the results of the first and the third
[1:22:02] we have a hat the hat says four more years it drives the radical left lunatics crazy
[1:22:20] but we did all of the different things and we've saved you from 10 to 40 000 a year the people in
[1:22:27] rockland on average over 1 million new yorkers claimed the deduction this year you're able to
[1:22:33] write off nearly 22 000 on average putting thousands of dollars back in your pockets and these are all
[1:22:40] republican tax cuts the democrats voted against every one of these tax cuts everyone they voted as
[1:22:48] an example in favor of open borders they voted against the border they voted against the wall
[1:22:55] they voted against they voted against the sanity of when we talk about men playing in women's sports
[1:23:01] i'll tell you how ridiculous it is that's why i love having jackson because it's so easy i just say
[1:23:06] how would you like to play against him but we have even better jackson we have a weightlifter he was
[1:23:13] a failed male weightlifter and then he decided to he decided to transition to the other side and they
[1:23:21] had a major major contest an olympic tryout and they had a young woman who was really good she was one of
[1:23:28] the greatest ever and she could lift 204 pounds over her head and the record stood for 17 years jackson 17
[1:23:37] years and she was going to break the record it was a big record but she was going to break it and
[1:23:42] they took an eighth of an ounce and they put it on one side and they took an eighth of an ounce and
[1:23:48] they put it in the other side and her parents were right where you are the beautiful parents right all
[1:23:52] you parents yes even if you weren't i'll say you are not her good job you did good job mom and they had
[1:24:00] this beautiful young weightlifter female real female well this was a real female so she had an
[1:24:09] eighth of an ounce an eighth of an ounce she had like 208 pounds and she was going to do it and the
[1:24:15] parents were so proud her father knew she couldn't do it but the mother thought she would it's typical
[1:24:20] mother the father was sort of not so sure he loved his daughter but he wasn't sure and she bent over and
[1:24:27] she lifted that sucker and she pulled it up and she was getting close and she could barely and the mother
[1:24:32] was screaming come on darling you can do it 17 years it stood come on darling you could do it and
[1:24:39] she got that and she got it up to here jackson she said she was almost come on darling the mother and
[1:24:47] the father was almost bored because he knows she's not going to do it and the mother's screaming come
[1:24:53] on darling i love you so much mom i love you i love you and she she couldn't do it boom it dropped and
[1:25:02] then in sepsis young transitioned person you know i've gotten very good with the words it took me a
[1:25:09] long time i used to get criticized he was a transitioned person and he stepped up now he was a failed
[1:25:17] lowest of the low for the male weightlifters and he stood over that weight he looked at it he could
[1:25:26] have done it four or five times he broke the record by over a hundred pounds isn't this ridiculous
[1:25:34] is this do you want to hear the swimming story or not you know my wife the great first lady number
[1:25:46] one number one movie you believe it i don't like that i don't like success for people in the family

[1:26:41] women went to see that movie 15 times okay ready she said darling don't dance okay it's not
[1:26:48] presidential don't do the weight lifting thing it doesn't look good don't do the swimming thing
[1:26:54] so i'll do the swimming thank you all right i'll do this now a young olympian very beautiful olympian
[1:27:03] swimmer and you know it's sort of like the pyramid all the great people they swim against each other from
[1:27:09] the time they're five years old you know just works that way they're better whether it's golfers or
[1:27:14] players baseball football football players you were great when you were four years old you could throw
[1:27:19] a ball better than anybody else but the truth is it always works that way and this young woman looking
[1:27:25] for the olympics and she knows all the girls on the right and all the girls that are left and she stands
[1:27:30] and she's so proud she wants to qualify and she's really a champion swimmer and she looks to the left
[1:27:36] you've heard this story and she sees six girls and she knows every one of them she looks over there
[1:27:42] yeah okay that's good hi hi how you doing she hates them because you know they're competitors but she
[1:27:47] says hi then she looks at her right she sees six people and she knows five of them but there's a person
[1:27:53] just on her right who's gigantic it's a gigantic person and she's looking up at him at her excuse me
[1:28:04] that could be the end of my political career that could be you cannot do that you cannot you cannot
[1:28:12] say looking up at him because so she's looking up at her oh my he's so she's so big i've never seen
[1:28:21] anybody and he has a wingspan sort of the size of shaquille o'neal ah go go home to mom go home to mommy
[1:28:57] he's gonna be in trouble you know what he doesn't say is his mom's watching on television right now
[1:29:03] and she's loving it anyway so you have this person and you know what happened the story is very very
[1:29:11] famous actually that she was very severely injured you know what injured her windburn because he went
[1:29:17] by her so fast that she got tremendous windburn in the pool and then he finished up the race and he
[1:29:24] rested while the other girls came in and it was a very sad event a very sad occasion but to think
[1:29:31] that we actually 15 years ago 20 years ago could you imagine saying we will not allow men to play in
[1:29:40] women's sports could you imagine saying get transition can you imagine saying we will not allow the
[1:29:48] mutualization of your children if you said that they'd say what's wrong with that person why they're talking that way
[1:29:53] today you have to say it because they do allow in certain places still we've cut a lot of it out most
[1:30:00] of it they allow the mutualization of your children and we don't allow that stuff and we're going to get
[1:30:05] it the hell out of here never happened to that guy it's so quick i tell people please don't do it it's
[1:30:19] dangerous to do it to do it in this crowd is not a good thing you don't want to do it in trump grads i've
[1:30:27] had very little do you remember originally i used to have a lot of that you know the first couple of
[1:30:32] months i'd have people screaming and they learned it's just not a good thing to do it's not good
[1:30:37] it's just sort of dangerous and of course i like things that aren't dangerous i don't like to see
[1:30:44] people get whacked i don't like it so don't do it but we used to have it all the time my first month
[1:30:50] or two oh boy guys would start screaming we hate you and then all of a sudden you got less and now it
[1:30:56] never happens it's the first time it's happened in a long time that's the first time it's happened
[1:31:03] in a long time if the democrats gain power they'll take these deductions and tax cuts away they'll
[1:31:11] raise your taxes and they'll i'll tell you what we want all my life i went through life watching
[1:31:17] politics i love politics always watch i never thought i'd be a politician could you believe i'm a
[1:31:21] politician i hate i hate the sound of it but but remember that although i had a good night the other
[1:31:27] night right we knocked out a bad senator from louisiana we knocked out massey a horrible one of
[1:31:37] the worst republican congressmen we knocked out somebody in georgia rathensberger we knocked him out
[1:31:45] we knocked out everybody we were 38 and 0 30 think of that 38 and oh who's 38 and i haven't we haven't lost
[1:31:53] one in years you want to know the truth we have let me tell you we have make america greater mega
[1:32:00] we have a movement the likes of which this country has never seen and you know it's a movement based
[1:32:08] on common sense it's not that it's conservative it's conservative baby but it's a movement based
[1:32:14] on common sense we want strong borders we want good education we want low taxes we also we want a strong
[1:32:20] military how good is our military right now we're doing very well by the way well first of all venezuela
[1:32:34] was unbelievable right now iran their navy's gone their air force is gone everything's gone
[1:32:42] their leaders are gone and if you read the fake news you think they're doing just fine they're not
[1:32:51] doing just fine they want to settle so badly we have the greatest military i just got back from china
[1:32:57] president qi good man good man and i'll get killed for saying that they'll say oh he called president
[1:33:03] qi a good man well we had an amazing time but even he had to say your military is unbelievable this is
[1:33:10] the head of china we have built i built the greatest military of my first four years and i didn't know i
[1:33:15] was going to be using it this much but we're using and we're there's nobody like our equipment there's
[1:33:21] nobody like the stuff we produce but most importantly there's nobody like our military men and women
[1:33:29] there's nobody but all i've watched all my life i've watched politicians and until this last eight or nine
[1:33:41] years they have trump derangement syndrome they're all screwed up their wires are all mixed up the
[1:33:45] democrats and uh they always used to say that we will lower you to everybody republican democrat every
[1:33:53] we will lower your taxes we're going to lower lower lower your taxes now they don't do that they
[1:33:59] say we will raise your taxes the democrats they want to raise your taxes never forget not a single
[1:34:06] democrat in congress voted to raise the salt deduction mike lawler and all of his friends sitting up here
[1:34:16] fought them and they voted against it and by voting against the great big beautiful bill one of the
[1:34:26] greatest pieces of legislation probably the biggest ever passed because we put everything in four
[1:34:32] years that was my idea i said let's add everything because these people are crazy we might not get
[1:34:37] another chance at it we added everything into that that's four years worth of legislation that's why we
[1:34:42] call it the great big beautiful bill no tax on tips no tax on overtime no tax on social security for the
[1:34:51] seniors the democrats voted for open borders they voted for open borders and if they get in you're
[1:34:59] going to have open borders again you're going to have millions of people coming in they voted for men
[1:35:08] in women's sports they voted against the largest ever investment in school choice everybody wants school
[1:35:16] choice and they voted against making interest payments on your auto loans tax deductible that's what you
[1:35:22] have if it's made in america so we have another little disturbance back there hello hello everybody
[1:35:32] that's okay it's it's already cleared up what are you doing back there to these people
[1:35:38] boy does that get cleared up fast the guy raises his hand starts screaming something and within about
[1:35:45] two seconds it's over what happened to him don't hurt him don't hurt him hurt him i do that for legal
[1:35:57] reasons this way i can say that's a great thing to say do not hurt him under any circumstances
[1:36:03] and now i can say i'm innocent they voted against the trump accounts which provide automatic contributions
[1:36:12] of a thousand dollars for every newborn child so they end up being quite wealthy and our record
[1:36:19] tax cuts are projected to raise incomes for new yorkers by over eight thousand dollars mike on average
[1:36:26] we're going to boost household take-home pay for you the people in the room over twelve thousand
[1:36:31] dollars and protect more than four hundred and five thousand new york jobs and we got to protect the
[1:36:37] jobs we can't let that happen i just say it again and again and again you can't let these companies go
[1:36:43] it's easy to say oh we don't like the companies they're the ones that supply you with the money and
[1:36:48] the jobs and everything else you got to cherish those companies whether you like them or not you got to
[1:36:53] last month the irs issued the largest average tax refunds to new yorkers in new york history think of
[1:37:00] it you got back the biggest you got back the biggest refund that you've ever had and that's all over
[1:37:05] the country by the way but i was with the king of saudi arabia two years ago and he's investing over two
[1:37:14] trillion dollars here we have 18 trillion dollars coming in but he said he said and you might have heard
[1:37:21] it just a short time ago he said mr president it's amazing two years ago you were a dead country dead
[1:37:33] we never thought anything was going to happen that could be good for your country you were a dead
[1:37:38] country with a leader that was a not smart person i'm going to say you were a dead country and today
[1:37:46] you're the hottest country anywhere in the world it's true we're the hottest country respected by
[1:37:52] everybody we're respected by everybody the stock market has just said 68 times during my short a
[1:38:01] little bit more than a year 68 days we hit all-time record highs and since the election adding nine
[1:38:09] trillion dollars in value to your savings and retirement accounts 401ks your 401ks does anybody
[1:38:16] have a 401k well your people are going to vote for me then there's no way will anybody with a 401k vote
[1:38:25] against trump thank you it's always risky to ask that question sometimes yes it could be a very
[1:38:34] dangerous way but since i took office the typical 401k is up more than thirty thousand dollars i've created
[1:38:46] 300 000 jobs in the last two months passing all expectations remember this right now more people
[1:38:54] are working in the united states than at any time ever before by far by a big number and in 16 months we've
[1:39:04] lifted nearly five million americans off of food stamps five million and thanks to my strong tariff
[1:39:14] policy now i get into a lot of trouble with tariffs because you remember when i first came out i love
[1:39:19] tariffs and i said i love tariffs my favorite word in the whole dictionary i love the word tariff and
[1:39:26] the fake news look at all of them back there that's a lot of fake news that's a lot of fake news they're all
[1:39:33] over the place they're all over the i got more fake news you know they hate me but what do they cover
[1:39:39] me but i said my favorite word in the dictionary is tariff and they got after me they said he's a
[1:39:49] horrible human being what about family what about god what about religion what about love so now i
[1:39:55] say it's my fifth favorite word that i get away and i'm okay but because of tariffs we brought numbers
[1:40:01] into this country that in other words if you make your product outside of the united states to get
[1:40:07] it in here you have to pay a big tariff so what do they do they build their factory in the united states
[1:40:13] and that's what they're doing that's what they're doing and even new york with your bad policies we
[1:40:19] have people coming here i'm trying to get them to come to new york we've also cut our gaping trade
[1:40:25] deficit by okay if you cut a trade deficit by one percent a half of a percent you're a genius i've
[1:40:33] cut it by 59 percent one year it's because of tariffs because the money we're being made is that
[1:40:43] right mr lutnik secretary of commerce is here looks good looks handsome reasonably he doesn't look
[1:40:49] like jackson i'd rather look like jack i'll take jackson any day under our leadership factory
[1:40:56] construction is up new residential construction is way up and consumer spending is way up american
[1:41:04] companies are ordering core capital goods to expand their operations at the highest rate in the history
[1:41:11] of our country and last year general motors announced a new manufacturing investment of a billion dollars
[1:41:17] in upstate new york to produce v8 engines which they never would have done here they were all made in
[1:41:24] germany and other countries now they're making them here because if they don't they have to pay
[1:41:28] a big penalty and they're stamping them at my instruction made in the usa made in the usa we're bringing
[1:41:36] it back jo bonnie is building a 1.2 billion dollar dairy plant in rome new york the largest
[1:41:45] investment in the history of the company big company and micron boy micron's great they're investing
[1:41:51] hundreds of millions in fact it'll be probably could be very close by the time they
[1:41:56] finish out over 100 billion dollars in clay new york anybody come from clay you will be there when
[1:42:04] you go up and look for a job my administration and our allies in congress are also fighting every
[1:42:12] single day to lower the cost of living so i got into office i won the election in a landslide
[1:42:19] and i go i have a news conference thank god i mean not to brag but if i didn't win the election we were
[1:42:30] dead the welfare was tripling and the business was leaving and the 18 trillion dollars would have been
[1:42:38] 18 trillion to the negative instead of the positive this we would have been a dead country we would have
[1:42:43] been finished it's true we ended joe biden's insane electric vehicle mandate that's where they wanted
[1:42:50] everybody to buy an electric car and as i told elan i love electric cars but elan is not for everybody
[1:42:59] you know if we would build the charging booths right it would cost the country four trillion
[1:43:05] dollars no country could afford that fortune you ever get an electric car and you shouldn't get
[1:43:11] nervous because you know your thing is down a little bit friends of mine tell me the store it's
[1:43:14] down a little bit getting close and you're looking what about a charging station you know this is an
[1:43:19] hour before it runs out where's the charger and then you see it it's a sign and it says charging station
[1:43:26] an arrow pointing to the right 92 miles and you limp in if you make it at all no we love electric cars
[1:43:35] i have to say that because of elan but i love electric cars they're lovely lovely vehicles but
[1:43:41] i said i don't want not everybody wants to have an electric car and i ended that whole nonsense by 2030
[1:43:47] you're going to all have electric cars i don't think so how about california they have electric cars
[1:43:52] they can't they don't have enough electricity to turn on your air conditioners they have
[1:43:56] they have brownouts and now everybody's going to have an electric car that's one of the worst governors
[1:44:02] in the country by the way that guy but he took himself did you hear he announced he's taking
[1:44:09] himself out of the race he called himself a dumb person he got very low board scores everything he's
[1:44:17] done is tough and he can't read a speech he can't read a speech so i don't read too many speeches either
[1:44:22] i'd be better off if i did but he can't read a speech but he called himself a dumb person and when
[1:44:29] you do that i say it ends but a friend of mine very good at politics say don't worry people forget
[1:44:35] about it i don't know i don't think you confess i thought it was the worst he did this during an
[1:44:39] interview i thought it was the worst interview by a professional politician in the history of our
[1:44:45] country because gavin i think is is when he says he's stupid he said he's stupid but remember but he said
[1:44:53] he's smarter than the people in the room and then he got sued for being a racist okay and i guess he
[1:44:59] probably is a racist but he said he was a stupid person you'll never hear me call myself i'm the
[1:45:05] smartest guy you're ever going to meet and don't you want to have a smart person as president you want
[1:45:15] to have a smart person in fact i took the cognitive test i'm the only one you know they call me
[1:45:24] originally they said he's brilliant he wants to take over the entire country then they said no no
[1:45:31] he wants the world he doesn't want the country that's why he's in iran that's why he's in hey
[1:45:36] by the way how did we do in venezuela not bad that's why you know we've taken out so much oil in venezuela
[1:45:43] we paid for the cost of the war about 25 times over when did you hear that last you know it's a one-way
[1:45:50] street but no no the doctor i said uh doctor let me ask you a question they called me genius and that
[1:45:57] didn't work then they said he's totally brilliant he's a vicious dictator who wants to take over that
[1:46:01] didn't work and then they called me this and then they said they hit me with a bad one he's a dumb
[1:46:07] person d-u-m not to be he's a dumb person it's enough most people don't know it has a b he's a
[1:46:16] dumb person i said doctor i don't mind being called a brilliant total tyrant dictator but i don't want to
[1:46:23] be called dumb what do i do doctor is there some kind of a test i can take he said actually sir there is
[1:46:31] it's a cognitive test i said how many presidents have taken it none you know this story no people
[1:46:38] have taken it i said well is it good or bad is it tough it's a tough test it starts off easy it gets
[1:46:45] very very tough i said well you know what i'm going to do i'm going to take that test i think doctor
[1:46:50] because i do good on tests i'm going to take that test and let's see how we do he said here's the
[1:46:54] problem sir if you do badly on the test it's going to be reported because there's walter reed medical
[1:46:59] hospital it's a military hospital it's sort of public so you have five doctors sitting there
[1:47:05] and they're all if you do badly on it sir and you could do badly because you know the questions are
[1:47:11] very easy at the beginning then pretty easy then pretty hard by the time you get to the end there
[1:47:15] are not a lot of people in the room can get them believe me i said well it will be public won't it
[1:47:21] it'll be embarrassment but let's do it this was in my first term i took it and i aced it and they had
[1:47:27] very they had tough questions so the first question was you have a bear a snake an elephant and a horse
[1:47:41] name the horse that's the horse the second question's a little bit tough and then he goes
[1:47:48] so the new york times there's a story to show the test that i just aced and they only used the first
[1:47:53] question they didn't go into the other questions they didn't go in but toward the end like they had
[1:47:58] a question like pick a number sir any number okay 203 multiply times nine divide by two add on 1324
[1:48:13] subtract 1292 sir multiply it out one more time by 19 what is the answer sir and i got it right
[1:48:27] you know and the one doctor said i've been doing this test for 20 years i've never seen anybody ace it
[1:48:37] so then what happened that was in my first term and that quieted people down it was good
[1:48:42] and then what happened i did it twice in my second tip so i've taken it and i've aced it all three
[1:48:46] times i'll tell you because it is a positive thing you know positive nice to be smart but but remember
[1:48:55] i said and i made the statement all presidents and vice presidential candidates should be forced to
[1:49:00] take a cognitive test and test on intelligence and i said it loud obama couldn't do well on it
[1:49:07] biden wouldn't even get the first question i don't think he'd get there which is the bear which is the
[1:49:13] horse no what'd he get you know i have a friend he he's very good politically but he has a test
[1:49:22] he owns like stores little stores he's not super rich in fact he's not even rich but he's got he makes
[1:49:30] a living as the expression he goes but i knew him a long time i like to keep my old friends
[1:49:34] i like to do really much better than them i don't like friends that become very successful
[1:49:39] i like people that are just okay even if they're terrible i like that too i hate like when i have
[1:49:48] lunch with somebody that's really really successful i hate it because he or she is
[1:49:55] bragging about how great they are and i hate that when they do that because they stop me from talking
[1:49:59] about the fact that i became president but i have a friend and he said you know i have a simple test for
[1:50:11] a politician i own stores i'm really good at it it's not a complex business and i say how would a
[1:50:19] president do running my store while i'm away on vacation he said i take one store not three or four
[1:50:25] and i say my busiest one on queen's boulevard queens he said i take a store and i say how would he be
[1:50:34] and i said so what's the answer he said you would drive it into one of the largest retail empires in
[1:50:41] the world biden wouldn't be able to run the store for one evening one evening it would be a dessert he
[1:50:46] said i give people tests i put people in my store i say how do you think they do and i said he said
[1:50:54] biden wouldn't be able to run a store we can never let that happen again to our country we can never let
[1:51:00] it happen again what he's done what he's done to our country is unacceptable and a lot of bad things
[1:51:07] we had inflation but we've got that down by the way the oil prices are going to tumble as
[1:51:11] soon as i finish up with iran tumble i was in iowa i was in iowa we had it down to a dollar and 85
[1:51:22] cents a gallon in iowa but we had it down around the two dollar point and then i said well lutnik
[1:51:27] we're going to have to take a trip to we got scott besant we got all of them i said we just hit 50
[1:51:33] 000 on the dow and i said that's a record highest ever i said sorry to do this to you but we're going
[1:51:39] to have to journey down to the middle east they said why i said because iran is going to have a
[1:51:44] nuclear weapon if we don't stop them and i said we're going to have to do it and we have stopped
[1:51:49] them they're not going to ever have a nuclear weapon they're never going to have a nuclear weapon
[1:51:57] and we'll have that over with soon it'll be over with soon and you're going to see numbers like
[1:52:02] you've never seen both on the upside and also in terms of course you're going to see costs go down but
[1:52:08] you know the democrats are the ones that caused all the costs and they were the ones they were
[1:52:13] the ones that caused when i took over they caused i mean the prices were through the roof i told you
[1:52:20] before the inflation was the highest ever the costs were high and think of it they'd constantly come out
[1:52:27] the cost the cost they would constantly come out with the word affordability i said they're the ones
[1:52:35] that caused the problem i'm in the office two days i mean they are the greatest bullshitter artists
[1:52:41] ready i'm in the office two days and the costs have gone through the roof under four years of sleepy
[1:52:49] joe or crooked joe or both right right and i hear these democrats from all over the place going
[1:52:57] affordability they're the ones that cost that i didn't cost it remember the eggs my first news
[1:53:04] conference two or three days in they said what are you going to do these people these corrupt press
[1:53:10] they're corrupt they're corrupt they know it they're corrupt they're totally corrupt they were saying
[1:53:21] what are you going to do about the cost of eggs i said what's the problem with eggs they said they've
[1:53:26] gone up four times i said i just got here right i just got here they're the greatest bullshit artist
[1:53:35] i'm telling you they said trump has driven up the cost of eggs i just got here i'm sorry
[1:53:41] and within three months our great secretary of agriculture has driven them down to the lowest
[1:53:47] point they've been in a long time we've got them all down now we'll get our energy down
[1:53:52] the only thing that has your prices look energy is a big ball game that's the big one
[1:53:56] and we're going to get that down it'll get down to where it was maybe even get down lower but we had
[1:54:00] it down to a number that was so good they hadn't seen it in since my first term actually but we terminated
[1:54:07] the green news scam including the so-called efficiency rule on water heaters stoves washers
[1:54:14] dryers light bulbs saving americans on average three thousand two hundred and fifty dollars
[1:54:23] and yesterday we eliminated a truly awful biden regulation on refrigerators and air conditions
[1:54:29] that drove the costs of food even in grocery stores where they have freezers it was called the
[1:54:35] refrigerant and according to these lunatics the refrigerant which we've had for 40 years
[1:54:42] is going to drive people into a state of frenzy there's nothing wrong with the refrigerant other
[1:54:48] than sometimes it makes your food too cold it's alternative costs about twice as much and it doesn't cool
[1:54:56] your food at all everyone that has it practically has gone bankrupt because their food has rotted
[1:55:04] the anti-refrigerant movement in this country you will now be able to purchase an air conditioner that
[1:55:14] actually gives you cold air it's nice and as you may know here in new york i'm fighting relentlessly to
[1:55:20] end the scourge of congestion pricing where kathy hockle you know i have to tell you this though
[1:55:28] she calls me up a lot and she can check my phone records it says buffalo new york she calls me up a lot
[1:55:37] i immediately know it's her because i do have friends in buffalo but they haven't called me too
[1:55:41] much lately says buffalo and said hi mr president it's kathy hi hi could you help me here could you
[1:55:49] help me there and we're having a little problem getting this and we're trying to get that could
[1:55:53] you give me a little hand i say kathy you're always killing me why the hell would i give you
[1:55:57] well i just thought i'd try okay thank you very much and and the next day she goes out we must stop
[1:56:05] donald trump it's crazy trump derangement syndrome you know she's a very i don't want to say anything
[1:56:15] negative she's a very nice one but she's she is never going to take you to the promised land
[1:56:20] ever there will never be a promised land with kathy so we're also taking historic actions to
[1:56:26] make it easier to afford a home and i signed an executive order banning large wall street investment
[1:56:31] firms from buying up all of the single family homes all over the country and i also directed fannie mae
[1:56:42] and freddie mac and we happen to have the head of fannie mae and where is mr pulte right here pulte
[1:56:48] he's done a great job that guy these people know you're becoming very famous but he's done a good job
[1:56:55] but i've instructed him to buy 200 billion dollars in mortgage bonds bringing interest rates plummeting
[1:57:02] down much lower than they would have normally been and we're going to get the rates down rates are
[1:57:07] coming down with the energy you watch what's going to happen i had a rotten head of the fed and now i
[1:57:12] have a great head of the fed today kevin wash kevin was just sworn in today he's great he's going to be
[1:57:21] great and now congress is on the cusp of passing the most important piece of housing legislation
[1:57:28] in a generation but to be honest with you housing is all about interest rates i know more about housing
[1:57:33] than anybody in history no presidents ever i built a lot of housing and they can pass all the bills
[1:57:39] they want it's about interest rates you get the interest rates down everybody's going to be very
[1:57:44] very happy we're going to get it down very quickly i support the bill that passed the house this week
[1:57:49] congressman lawler's help now and it's called the house and senate it's a house and senate housing bill and
[1:57:57] it's coming together and hopefully they'll get it done but i will say this mike again it's about interest
[1:58:01] rates it's all about interest rates we get the interest rates down the housing you're going to
[1:58:06] look like a genius perhaps most importantly we've made tremendous strides to bring down the crushing
[1:58:12] cost of healthcare under my most favorite nation agreement that nobody wants to write about and it's
[1:58:19] a bigot because we went from the highest price in the entire world to the lowest price in the entire
[1:58:27] world and i can't get the fake news to write about it i think that alone should win the midterms that
[1:58:36] alone should win them it's called most favorite nations in other words we pay the lowest price of any
[1:58:43] nation in the world so we're right now paying many times higher we're paying sometimes 10 12 times
[1:58:49] higher than other nations like the fat truck 87 dollars in london 1300 dollars in new york city
[1:58:58] and a friend of mine who's very fat called me he said president president he's crude as hell he's
[1:59:05] crude and very smart highly neurotic we all know people like that very smart but highly neurotic
[1:59:11] and he was in london and he's a rich guy made a lot of money but he knows the cost of medicine
[1:59:19] that he takes probably more than that he takes this guy he's begging me not to tell his name because he's
[1:59:24] actually become quite famous i tell the story often so he calls me up he goes president he used to call me
[1:59:29] donnie donnie donnie now he calls me mr president he said president i'm in london i just paid 87
[1:59:36] dollars for the fat drug he said it's a fat shot i said what is it ozempek he said i don't know what
[1:59:43] the hell it is it's supposed to i said it's not working on you charles not working at all it hasn't
[1:59:51] worked but he knows the price he goes i paid 87 and in new york for two weeks ago i bought the same
[1:59:58] damn thing for thirteen hundred dollars and it really made an impression i mean look i've been
[2:00:04] watching this for a long time i was very proud to have reduced in my first term third year drugs have
[2:00:10] always gone up for 28 years and i got it to a point where it went down one eighth of a point and i was
[2:00:16] so proud of myself i called the news conference i said ladies and gentlemen i'd like to let you know
[2:00:21] that drugs have gone down in our country for the first time in 28 years they've gone down by one eighth
[2:00:27] of a point i was so proud now they're down by 80 percent 90 percent 80 90 and the fake news doesn't
[2:00:41] want to write about it and you could even say 400 500 600 or 700 depending on the way you ask the
[2:00:49] question but here today is a local family that has benefited greatly from our policies especially
[2:00:55] our historic tax cuts and the great big beautiful bill kathy kennedy is a retired special education
[2:01:02] teacher from orange town and this year she saved more than almost three thousand dollars on her taxes

[2:02:44] of those policies we're able to keep more money that we work so hard for and invest into our future

[2:03:02] us the opportunity to create something lasting for our children and the communities that we serve and more

[2:14:39] gorman you know sheridan and her father is a great friend of one of my people dan scavino who's done
[2:14:47] very well has become quite known in the world of politics dan is great but his father is a friend
[2:14:54] of dan so it affects us maybe a little more than it would normally but it was terrible two months ago
[2:15:00] this beautiful beautiful 18 year old college student from yorktown new york right across the hudson river
[2:15:06] was walking in a park in chicago when she was gunned down by an illegal alien monster in cold blood
[2:15:14] nobody knows even why this happened this savage animal who stole sheridan's life entered illegally from
[2:15:23] venezuela and was released into our country by crooked joe biden and that whole biden administration of
[2:15:30] thieves and criminals it was then arrested and released again by democrat governor jb pritzker
[2:15:39] a terrible governor has no idea what's going on in the sanctuary city of chicago sanctuary cities protect
[2:15:46] criminals they're a sanctuary for criminals not for people like you like us to sheridan's mother jessica
[2:15:54] her father thomas and her sister madeline her cousin lila we grieve this terrible loss and our prayers are
[2:16:02] with you and i'd like you to meet this family this family is amazing and the reason i do that it just
[2:16:09] hit the it hit the strings it was this incredible beautiful girl to be so savagely hurt ultimately killed
[2:16:19] and so could i ask your parents and sister cousin to come up please thank you mr president i have to
[2:16:51] say you are just so funny my family has laughed more smiled more than we have like in the past
[2:16:57] hour than we have since march 19th it's been such a gift thank you hi sorry we prepared some words but
[2:17:12] first i just want to thank president trump and michael lawler and all of the legislators that believe
[2:17:21] and protect and are champions for our american children my name is jessica gorman and mother's day
[2:17:36] was just two weeks ago for most mothers it meant flowers and cards and phone calls or children
[2:17:43] coming home for me it was heartache and tears because on march 19th my beautiful daughter
[2:17:50] sheridan grace gorman was murdered in cold blood she was walking on a pier in chicago with her friends
[2:17:57] just a few blocks from her campus they were hoping to see the northern lights over the chicago city
[2:18:03] nightline sharon never got to see those lights instead her life was stolen by a man who should
[2:18:10] have never been in this country a man who should have never been set free in that community and every
[2:18:17] step the system had a chance to stop him and at every step it failed and my daughter paid for those
[2:18:24] failures with her life no mother should ever have to wonder if her child called out for her in her final
[2:18:34] moments no mother should ever have to imagine her baby lying alone and bleeding on the cold
[2:18:44] pavement and no family should ever have to marry a child because public officials failed to put innocent
[2:18:53] american lives first the mothers of new york to the mothers of chicago rockland county and our own
[2:19:14] beloved westchester county and all across this nation who have reached out who've cried with us and
[2:19:21] prayed for us and stood with us i just want to thank you from the bottom for every piece of my broken
[2:19:29] heart i see you i hear you and i need you to please hear me remember sharon's face remember her light
[2:19:38] remember the life she should have lived and then stand with us not only in grief but in action forget
[2:19:47] political party vote with your heart support leaders like president trump like michael lawler
[2:19:54] please please support leaders and policies that protect your child and mine because a city and a
[2:20:12] state or a country that does not protect its children has lost its way and together we must be brave
[2:20:20] enough to demand that it find its way back thank you my name is tom gorman i'm not a politician i'm not a
[2:20:42] public speaker i'm a father of whose daughter was murdered by an illegal immigrant i am a husband who
[2:20:49] had to hold his wife on mother's day when she asked the question no mother should ever have to ask
[2:20:55] through tears just looked at maddie and me and asked am i still the mother of two there's no answer big
[2:21:03] enough for that pain no words no comfort no way to give back what was stolen from our family all i could
[2:21:11] do was hold her and tell her the truth yes jess you're still the mother of two because sheridan will
[2:21:16] always be our daughter no mother should ever have to ask that question and no father should ever have to
[2:21:31] answer it this is what failed policies have done to our family we did not just lose sheridan we lost our
[2:21:39] peace we lost our future we lost the life that we knew and no family should have to become experts in
[2:21:47] immigration failures release policies warrants sanctuary laws enforcement breakdowns because
[2:21:53] their daughter was killed by someone who should not have been here and should not be free let me be
[2:22:01] clear about one thing we support legal immigration legal immigration has made america stronger we all know
[2:22:08] families neighbors co-workers and friends who have come and done it the right way followed the law
[2:22:15] they worked hard built businesses raised families and made this country better that is america at its
[2:22:22] best but illegal immigration is different criminal illegal immigration is different borders matter laws
[2:22:30] matter enforcement matters and above all american families matter we are deeply grateful to president
[2:22:38] trump and to congressman mike lawlor for comforting our family saying sheridan's name and fighting for
[2:22:44] policies that put safety of american children and the citizens first but i do not understand why this
[2:22:51] is a fight that belongs to only one party protecting our people is not politics it is the first responsibility
[2:22:58] of government so do not just feel sorry for us instead remember sheridan's name and stand with us
[2:23:13] demand that leaders who enforce our laws secure our borders cooperate with law enforcement and put
[2:23:18] innocent american families first sheridan should have come home and because she did not we will spend the
[2:23:27] rest of our lives fighting so that someone else's daughter can parents out there give your kids a big hug
[2:23:35] tell them how much you love them thank you very much it's crazy right we had a border we didn't have open
[2:24:07] borders he came through open borders nobody checked him totally unvetted person an animal should have
[2:24:16] never happened just yesterday new york state passed a budget pact with provisions to obstruct federal
[2:24:23] immigration enforcement and keep this a deadly sanctuary state just passed yesterday it's hard to believe
[2:24:30] so bruce hopefully you'll get that unpassed very quickly it's uh it's terrible as we speak the
[2:24:39] radical left democrats in the house and senate are blocking passage of legislation to ban
[2:24:46] sanctuary jurisdictions we want to have that banned we don't want them they bring in criminals of the
[2:24:55] worst type murderers drug dealers prisoners escaped from foreign prisons put in our country by foreign
[2:25:03] countries because they don't want them but with your support and congressman lawler and bruce you're
[2:25:11] going to do fantastic you're going to be the next governor i'm telling you no who's going to take
[2:25:14] this bruce blake we'll stop fighting for sheridan's we're going to be fighting for sheridan's memory
[2:25:26] we're going to be fighting you just can't forget it i looked at i said such a beautiful young kid i
[2:25:32] see it i saw it in the papers front page of every paper how do you how do you explain that to parents
[2:25:37] how do you explain it to anybody and we'll abolish deadly sanctuary cities in new york and across the nation
[2:25:43] once and for all we're getting rid of a lot of them and we now have the strongest border
[2:25:52] in the history of our country by far the strongest starting on day one my administration we took the
[2:26:05] most dangerous unsafe violent and open border in the world anywhere in the world i don't think
[2:26:10] there's any any place in the world where 25 million people cross you could go into a third world country
[2:26:16] they don't have borders like that and created something that was incredible because we did it
[2:26:22] without congress without the help of congress you remember joe biden i can't get legislation passed i
