President Trump Delivers Remarks At TPUSA’s ‘Build The Red Wall’ Event In Phoenix, AZ

[0:00] know really well that when a people push God out, he removes his hand of favor. It's one of the [0:08] reasons I love Turning Point so much because they make faith such a heavy part of their mission and [0:16] what they do. And I know we don't all believe the same things, but I'm not going to cower from my [0:28] faith. I'm just going to tell you guys, this is a cultural war. It's a political war, but in my [0:35] opinion, most importantly, it is a spiritual war. Now we've got some midterms coming up and I'm going [0:49] to tell you guys right now something you already know. Republicans are not the solution to all of [0:55] your problems, but Democrats are pretty much the cause of all your problems. And if we're willing [1:13] to work together, if we're willing to look in the mirror every day and say, hey, what are my skill [1:18] sets? What am I good at? What am I weak at? How can I help in this fight? We can beat these guys. [1:24] We absolutely can beat them back. You guys know exactly what the Democrats are going to do if [1:33] they flip the house, right? They're going to impeach the president on day one. And so much [1:39] of his agenda that's starting to get rolling and rolling and rolling, it's going to come [1:45] to a grinding halt. And that's why we need the people of this state to step up and get it [1:52] done. My last few minutes, I'm going to talk about the most important race coming up here [2:09] in this state. You guys have an opportunity to represent, in my opinion, the best candidate [2:18] for governor in the entire country, Andy Biggs. Andy Biggs is not only a friend of mine, but [2:30] he's a mentor as well. I made him my mentor. I didn't even ask him. I said, you, you're going [2:38] to be my mentor, buddy. And he's, you know, please don't judge my performance on his mentorship, [2:46] but he's been an amazing mentor to me. But I want to tell you about his qualifications. [2:52] This guy was the president of the state Senate. They don't just give that job out. So he knows [2:59] the state very well. He knows state politics really well. He knows the budget really well. [3:05] He's also been a member of Congress for close to a decade. He was the chairman of the House [3:12] Freedom Caucus, which is the most conservative group in Washington, D.C. But in my opinion, [3:22] more importantly than all that, and I tell people this all the time, the number one thing missing [3:26] in Washington, D.C. is moral courage. I have seen that guy step up time and time again when nobody [3:34] was watching, nobody was around, there were no media cameras. Point, you know, when we, [3:43] when we ousted Kevin McCarthy, before we ousted Kevin McCarthy, the Freedom Caucus needed somebody [3:51] to step up and run against Kevin McCarthy. I don't have any personal qualms with Kevin McCarthy. [3:57] I could tell you a couple nice things about him, but he's, he's a politician. He wanted power. [4:06] He would lie to your face. And we needed somebody to run against Kevin McCarthy, knowing that that [4:12] person was going to lose and lose big, but that that person was also going to take a lot of slings [4:18] and arrows from the mainstream media, and quite frankly, even a lot of conservatives. And guess who [4:26] he's raised his hand and said, I'll do it. Andy Biggs. You see, a lot of politicians don't want to, [4:39] they don't want to step out and put their political career on the line. And that was the time I saw Andy [4:45] Biggs do it in a big way. That fight that we had on Capitol Hill about three and a half years ago, [4:51] that hadn't happened in 150 years in this country. And then when we fired Kevin McCarthy a couple months [4:58] later, that had never happened in our country. And Andy Biggs was right there in that base. [5:11] And like I told you guys, Republicans, we have our issues. You guys all know that. [5:16] And it's time for us right now to coalesce as much as possible. [5:19] But too many politicians come to Washington, D.C. with a go-along, to-get-along attitude. [5:27] They go, they come there and they say, okay, what does leadership want me to do? [5:31] Fox News ran an article probably about four months ago, and it ranked members of Congress [5:38] that were most likely, or not most likely, but actually voted against their party more than anybody else. [5:44] And in the top ten, I was number ten. Andy Biggs, I'm ashamed to say, actually beat me in that ranking. [5:57] And then we had Chip Roy, Eric Burleson, and Thomas Massey in that group. [6:02] And I bring that up because, again, Andy Biggs is not a go-along, to-get-along guy. [6:07] He's the type of guy that when our party is going off the rails and not representing you guys properly, [6:13] which happens a lot, he's willing to vote against our own party over and over again. [6:20] So I really hope that you guys recognize the opportunity that we have to elect this guy as our governor. [6:27] Because as a dad who's raising his kid in this state, somebody who was born and raised in this state, [6:33] and came back to run a small business and now serve in Congress in this state, [6:38] this is an amazing opportunity to elect an amazing governor. [6:42] I'll leave you guys with one final quote. [6:57] Evil triumphs when good men do nothing. [7:01] We know that it's not just good men, it's good women too. [7:05] But it is, I think it was Benjamin Franklin that said, [7:09] you get a republic, what? [7:12] If you can keep it, right? [7:14] They warned us, our founding fathers warned us a long time ago, [7:17] if you can keep it. [7:19] Now it's up to us to keep it for the next generation. [7:22] And those protesters out there, they're not going to go lightly. [7:27] They are upset and they are pissed. [7:29] But if we work together, we can get this done. [7:34] We can make sure that President Trump is not impeached in a couple months. [7:39] And we can keep this agenda rolling. [7:41] So thank you guys so much. [7:42] God bless you. [7:43] Just got back from D.C. [8:49] It's good to be in a rational place again. [8:57] Happy 250th birthday of the greatest nation on earth, America. [9:08] Are you excited that President Trump's going to be here in just a little bit? [9:12] Yeah. [9:14] Me too. [9:15] Me too. [9:16] So when we think about President Trump, the forces of evil have attacked that man and [9:33] his family and his friends and his associates and his followers because, not because they [9:42] want to enrich people's lives, but because they want to control people's lives. [9:50] It took incredible courage by President Trump, unbelievable courage to get out there every [10:03] day. [10:05] He's taming the world, trying to bring peace to the world and prosperity to America. [10:12] That's Donald Trump. [10:17] He is a true believer in the greatness of this country. [10:20] So I'm grateful that almost to the day I got a call from President Trump last year, almost [10:33] exactly this day, maybe by a bit of the day, and I answered the phone, hello Andy, I got [10:53] some news you're going to love. [10:55] I'm going to endorse you today. [11:00] That was a great day, great moment. [11:05] My wife and I were walking out the door right before, right after he called. [11:09] And by the time we get to the next place, he's already truthed it. [11:15] Is that what you call it? [11:15] Truthed it? [11:16] It was out on social media and it was such an awesome thing to get this endorsement. [11:23] But that's because, in my mind, he's the greatest president. [11:33] So some of the stuff that we've done together, I just asked, because I know I was talking to [11:40] a lady beforehand. [11:41] She told me that she had gotten this massive tax refund she had not expected. [11:45] How many got a better tax refund than you thought she was going to get? [11:48] Well, here's the deal. [11:54] And this is a lot of fun here. [11:57] Democrat governors like, I don't know, Katie Hobbs, Gavin Newsom, Abigail Spanberger, they [12:10] fought that stuff. [12:12] They don't want, they don't want you to keep your money, they want to take it. [12:17] One of my favorite governors is New York governor, Kathy Hochul. [12:24] Taxing everything, but especially taxing the billionaires. [12:28] She put out a plea a week or two ago. [12:33] Would you please come back? [12:36] We've got to have you, we've got to have you help pay for our social welfare programs. [12:41] Please come on back. [12:44] Now, the fact of the matter is, we delivered, President Trump and Republicans in Congress [12:50] delivered the biggest tax cut in human history. [12:54] President Trump helped bring the biggest microchip manufacturer to this state, who's investing [13:06] $165 billion because of President Trump. [13:15] And with the help from our members of Congress, we've secured the border like no time in the [13:24] history of our country. [13:26] How many of you remember literally millions of people crossing our border every year? [13:37] Art Del Cuecto led the pledge. [13:40] He remembers. [13:41] We all remember that. [13:44] I'll tell you what. [13:46] We now feel safer. [13:48] We are safer. [13:50] All because of President Trump coming in. [13:54] We didn't need new laws. [13:55] We just need someone to say, we're going to enforce the laws. [13:59] And as your governor, that's what I'm going to do. [14:13] You know, Katie, you know, Katie Hobbs, the first thing she did on day one, no kidding, [14:18] she disbanded the border security task force. [14:23] She started tearing down barriers that the previous governor, Governor Ducey, had put up. [14:29] She is open borders all the way. [14:34] And you might have forgotten this. [14:36] You remember that under Joe Biden, they lost over 500,000 children that were trafficked. [14:48] Many of them sent to strip clubs or to pedophiles because the Biden administration couldn't be [14:54] bothered to vet the sponsors that were taking these kids. [14:58] That's evil. [15:03] We've supported our law enforcement. [15:05] That's what we've done. [15:06] We believe in them. [15:07] And we're going to make them great again. [15:10] We're going to provide them the resources that they need, the training that they need, [15:16] and the support that they need. [15:18] Because a free country cannot be free without the rule of law. [15:24] You have to have the rule of law. [15:28] So in D.C., Trump and the Congress, we've been working to fix the disaster that was the [15:33] Biden regime. [15:34] But in Arizona, we're going to have to clean up the disastrous Hobbs regime. [15:43] We're going to build the Red Wall, and we're going to restore the values of Arizonans to [15:52] Arizona. [15:53] We're going to restore the American dream to Arizona. [15:59] So I was born in Arizona. [16:00] I was raised. [16:06] I was raised in Arizona. [16:07] And Arizona's grandeur, our natural resources are unmatched. [16:14] It's just really unmatched. [16:17] But as beautiful as our mountains are, our deserts, our rivers, our lakes, the most special [16:23] thing about Arizona are you, the people of Arizona. [16:28] That's our special thing. [16:31] And Arizona is a great state. [16:36] And America is the greatest nation in history. [16:38] It's lifted more people from poverty, given more opportunities for freedom, for people [16:43] to fulfill the measure of their creation. [16:45] And as Donald J. Trump might say, it's the best country in the history of the universe. [16:51] So we have a great state, we have a great nation, but we have perhaps the worst governor in America [17:03] in Katie Hobbs. [17:05] And that's really saying something when you look around this country. [17:10] I just think of Tim Walsh in Minnesota, and I say, we might have a dead heat here. [17:14] Might have a dead heat. [17:15] And if Katie Hobbs had her way, Arizona would look like any of those left-wing, deteriorating, [17:25] crime-ridden sanctuary states. [17:27] That's what she would do. [17:29] That is why we need you from top to bottom to give us a red wave in this state so Katie can [17:43] retire and go back to social work. [17:45] But I think that's probably a good thing for her. [17:48] As Arizona governor, I will restore Arizona's economic leading status in this country. [17:56] Unlike, unlike veto Katie Hobbs. [18:02] As governor, our taxes will fall. [18:06] We, just like we did in D.C., no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime. [18:13] Oddly enough, Katie Hobbs vetoed those provisions. [18:17] As Arizona governor, we're going to restore small business and entrepreneur. [18:24] Entrepreneurs, they will receive the same benefits in Arizona that they received in the federal [18:31] law. [18:32] Not like what Katie Hobbs vetoed. [18:36] As Arizona governor, we're going to back the blue. [18:38] Fully fund and improve coordination between law enforcement agencies to ensure your safety. [18:46] Not veto that like Katie Hobbs. [18:49] As governor, we'll restore the border security task force disbanded by Katie Hobbs. [18:58] As Arizona governor, we will restore confidence in our elections. [19:03] We'll get our results on election night. [19:06] Unlike Katie Hobbs, who vetoed that. [19:11] As governor, as governor, we're going to root out fraud, waste, and abuse in our state. [19:17] We're going to doge the heck out of the state. [19:21] We will stop the fraud, fine the fraudsters, prosecute the fraudsters, unlike vetoed Queen [19:30] Katie Hobbs. [19:31] As governor, we will be transparent about state revenues and spending like no government [19:42] in history, unlike vetoed Katie Hobbs. [19:46] Arizona can't trust Katie Hobbs, you cannot afford Katie Hobbs, and we cannot and must [19:55] not re-elect Katie Hobbs. [20:03] I thank you for your past support. [20:06] I thank you for your continued support. [20:10] And I stand before you now and I ask for your vote to be Arizona's next governor. [20:14] I am grateful that my friend, President Trump, has endorsed me. [20:28] My wife says I should always tell Donald Trump stories. [20:33] I will just tell you one. [20:36] I was at an event, and while I was talking, my phone started vibrating, and I thought, well, [20:45] wouldn't that be funny for this President Trump? [20:48] But I kept talking, and the event was over in the car. [20:51] It's 8.30 at night, and I called him up, and it's 11.30, but I'd never known him to retire [20:58] that early. [20:59] Who is this? [21:07] David Schweiker? [21:08] Not true. [21:14] That part's not true, right? [21:15] No, we had a nice conversation. [21:17] I told him, hey, look, you know, Mr. President, let's talk tomorrow, which we did. [21:22] I am so honored to have the endorsement of my friend, the martyr, Charlie Kirk, and it's [21:29] wonderful, wonderful, wide haircut. [21:36] To have the endorsement, to have the endorsement of people I serve with now, like Eli Crane, [21:41] Paul Gosar, and Abe Hamada, and a bunch of other members of Congress. [21:46] As well as 40 current or former state legislators that I have served with. [21:54] I am honored because they've seen me, sir. [21:57] I think they want us to get in there and get the work done. [22:00] I'm also endorsed by people all over the state at every level of government and from law [22:05] enforcement. [22:05] They know, they know that we together are ready to restore the American dream to Arizona. [22:19] But the most important endorsement is that of my beautiful wife, of almost 45 years, Cindy, [22:45] who's somewhere, somewhere. [22:47] There she is, my beautiful wife, Cindy. [22:49] I couldn't do what I could ever. [23:03] Like you, like you, when we met and fell in love and got married, we dreamed, we believed [23:27] we can accomplish anything. [23:32] We believed this state was the place that would give us the best opportunity to do that. [23:46] We didn't want to try anywhere else. [23:52] We knew this was the place. [23:53] It's time that we bring that optimism back to this state. [23:59] We need to think big. [24:06] We need to think big things, dream big dreams, and restore Arizona to its unlimited potential. [24:15] It's time to reduce Arizona's taxes. [24:19] It's time to stop depending on California for gas. [24:22] We need to bring in new pipelines. [24:24] We need to reform. [24:26] We need to reform our state's fuel standards, and we need to bring gas prices down. [24:33] It's time to have real healthy food options that taste good at schools so children and families [24:42] can thrive and flourish. [24:44] It's time to infraud, waste, and abuse in state programs that have cost literally every [24:49] year billions of dollars. [24:51] It's time to use our lands for houses and not Green New Deal projects. [24:57] We want young Arizonans to be able to start forming their families and getting into homes. [25:03] When they form families and get into single-family homes, it preserves our traditions, our values, [25:11] our freedoms. [25:12] That's what we need to do. [25:16] It's time. [25:16] It's time to start an election integrity bill and make sure that gets through. [25:22] It's time for us to believe in Arizona again. [25:26] I know we have the potential for that change right here in this room. [25:29] I know we do. [25:30] We have to change to win. [25:37] This state must change. [25:40] To win, the energy that you have today, the excitement, the anticipation you have today [25:46] cannot stay in this room. [25:49] It's on all of us to take our message to our neighbors, our churches, and our communities. [25:56] We're going to build the red wall. [26:04] We're going to build the red wall. [26:06] And we're going to take Arizona back. [26:17] Arizona is the fulcrum of national politics. [26:22] You may not know that, but it is. [26:24] All the nation looks to Arizona right now because the Democrats think they can turn the state [26:28] permanently blue. [26:33] I'm here to tell you that's not going to happen. [26:37] It's not going to happen. [26:44] I believe in you. [26:47] Will you help me? [26:49] Will you help me? [26:51] Turn this state red. [26:56] Will you help me? [26:57] I promise you, I promise you tireless effort. [27:05] I know that you want freedom for now, yourselves, you want opportunities for yourselves, but you [27:11] want it for generations to come. [27:20] And when, and when the president comes today, I know that you're going to greet him with [27:28] the same kind of heartfelt enthusiasm and energy that I feel here right now. [27:34] Because he's doing the same thing at the federal level that we need to do in the state. [27:39] And that's fight, fight, fight. [27:52] God bless you. [27:54] God bless this great state of Arizona. [27:57] And I have every confidence he's not done with America. [28:01] God bless America. [28:03] God bless you. [28:04] Thank you so much. [28:05] Let's win. [28:06] Let's fight. [28:07] Let's go. [28:08] He was someone that I had the opportunity to have many different meetings with and get [29:00] advice and counsel from. [29:02] Listening to him every day is one of the reasons why I started Turning Point USA and I got into [29:07] podcasting eventually. [29:09] Because I've said if Rush could continue every day doing three hours unscripted fighting [29:13] for all of us, then maybe I have a couple of things to say as well. [29:17] 3,000 student activists here in, it was actually over in West Palm Beach. [29:21] And this is a group that has been put together and operates under the auspices of Charlie Kirk. [29:28] You're going to be hearing that name if you haven't. [29:30] Now today we are looking around at the victory that Rush made possible. [29:36] Understand Doge, Elon, Rubio, Besson, Hexen, Trump, J.D. all follow in the footsteps of [29:45] the great Russian. [29:46] This is the kind of guy that you can see really becoming big in politics as he gets older. [29:57] He just has the courage, the personality, the charisma. [30:01] He was on top all of it early. [30:03] He saw it all with clarity across the landscape. [30:06] Rush was the fulcrum. [30:08] He was the trailblazer. [30:09] He was the trendsetter. [30:10] He was the pacemaker. [30:12] Hello, everyone. [30:37] It is wonderful to be with you here in Arizona. [30:43] I flew in very late last night from Florida. [30:47] As I was flying, I thought about going from the palm trees of Florida to the beautiful desert [30:55] of Arizona and how special our country is. [31:01] We are 50 great, uniquely different American states. [31:06] This country, established 250 years ago by our founding fathers, is a place we should [31:16] all be proud of. [31:19] The American flag represents our American family, one nation under God. [31:29] As we all know, like with any family, some you get along with better than others. [31:38] I'd like to say I get along with Arizona well. [31:41] I'd like to take a moment to talk about Erica Kirk. [31:55] Last September, the unimaginable happened. [32:01] In the aftermath of that horrific time, with the eyes of the world on her, Erica showed incredible [32:11] grace, strength, courage, and determination to not let anything steal her life. [32:21] Is she raising a young family in a way she didn't dream of? [32:36] She is continuing Charlie's mission and bringing many young students along with her. [32:46] Anyone who criticizes Erica for how she grieves or how she moves forward should pause and think [32:58] for a minute about the humanity of that. [33:01] Many people claim to be caring and compassionate when in fact they are incredibly judgmental. [33:12] So many loved our friend Charlie and so many loved Erica. [33:21] Goodness will always outshine the darkness. [33:33] Charlie knew exactly who he was marrying. [33:38] A strong, smart, beautiful soul inside and out. [33:44] I know he is immensely proud of Erica and how she is carrying on. [33:49] We have often said Charlie was the younger version of Rush, the next generation of Rush Limbaugh. [34:07] In fact, I am certain they are both sitting together in heaven right now, engaged in a deep conversation [34:21] about Iran and our incredible United States military, the greatest fighting force for peace in the world or possibly what should be done for the midterms. [34:42] They are also likely working on a better radio deal in heaven. [34:49] Both men shared such profound talent and wisdom. [34:59] Both used their intelligence and wit to connect with people of all backgrounds. [35:08] Among the many things that made Charlie and Rush unique was their ability to talk to you and not at you. [35:18] They encouraged everyone who would listen to think for themselves. [35:24] They presented facts so that you could form your own opinions. [35:31] Both loved this country with all of their hearts. [35:35] They stood for freedom and freedom of speech. [35:40] Charlie and Rush are simply irreplaceable. [35:46] But their lessons live on through all of us. [35:51] We must continue to share these lessons with as many as possible. [35:59] Both Charlie and Rush wanted young Americans to know how miraculous our country is. [36:10] They wanted to explain to those who agreed and those who didn't, some of whom were outside on my way in. [36:18] They needed better signs, by the way, but we'll work on that for them. [36:25] To explain to those who agreed and those who didn't, why the United States of America is worth protecting and valuing. [36:40] They knew, as we do, that every American has the opportunity to better their circumstance no matter what. [36:50] No matter the color of your skin or gender or where you started in life or what you're told you can't do. [37:00] As an American, you have the chance for a brighter future and the chance to go after your dreams simply because you are an American. [37:12] There are endless stories of Americans who started in actual ghettos, in true poverty, and rose to leave industries. [37:25] Those are the stories that need to be told over and over. [37:30] Young girls can achieve anything that they strive for in this country. [37:36] Charlie and Rush recognize our country's history is flawed and not perfect. [37:52] However, despite any imperfections, we as a country have made tremendous strides over these decades to right our wrongs. [38:04] There are so many examples of this. [38:08] Those examples should also be told over and over. [38:13] Our country is made up of countless everyday heroes doing extraordinary things who showcase we as American people represent much more goodness than evil and always will. [38:33] It is important that we hold on to the principles that Charlie and Rush stood for. [38:44] At the very base of that is freedom of speech. [38:50] I encourage you all to use your minds, especially young people. [38:56] Continue to seek the truth. [38:58] Use your voice to share with others. [39:01] I encourage you not to just go with the flow or what may be trendy in social media for that minute. [39:11] Charlie and Rush showed us the incredible impacts one life can have on this world and the difference that one life can make. [39:22] Know that you as an individual matter in this great American story. [39:28] I know President Trump will be here shortly President Trump doesn't have to do anything that he does. [39:48] Just like Charlie and Rush, President Trump takes the arrows that he does and continues to stand strong because he loves this country deeply and he loves all of you. [40:04] He doesn't have to work tirelessly as he does. [40:16] He could have led a very content private life. [40:24] But President Trump fights daily for all of us, for the younger generations, because he wants the United States to remain the most miraculous country on earth, where there is opportunity for all of us. [40:41] He runs our country with a business mind and a father's heart. [40:51] Exactly what is needed. [40:58] One quick story about President Trump. [41:01] I know us Limbaugh's get behind a microphone and we think we have three hours, but I promise you this will be quick. [41:08] Soon after Rush announced his cancer diagnosis to millions on the radio, we headed off to Boston for what we thought was a scheduled surgery and treatment. [41:23] When we landed in Boston, the phone rang and sure enough, it was President Trump. [41:30] He asked what we were doing and Rush said, well, just preparing for surgery this afternoon. [41:37] President Trump, without hesitation, said, how about coming to the Capitol tonight? [41:44] Sitting in an old T-shirt in Boston, Rush looked at me and said, tonight? [41:54] Mind you, the T-shirt was about all that he had packed. [41:59] Oh, no, no, no. [42:00] We couldn't possibly make it to Washington tonight. [42:04] Well, you all know how persuasive President Trump can be. [42:09] Needless to say, the surgery was delayed and we were in the Capitol hours later for Rush to be presented with a Presidential Medal of Freedom. [42:23] It was a night we will never forget. [42:35] Every few days, President Trump would take time out of his very busy day to call Rush just to check in. [42:46] No agenda, just simply, how are you holding out? [42:52] President Trump is a great man who cares for our country so deeply and Americans in that very same way. [43:05] God bless Erica and her children. [43:11] God bless President Trump. [43:13] And God bless all of you. [43:16] Thank you. [43:17] 7, 10. [55:06] If you will make your way back in the room, and if you're in the room, if you can be seated, we are about to resume. [58:33] Thank you. [58:34] I have seen the worst of humanity, but I've also seen the best of it. [1:11:21] And it's reminded me that every day when you wake up, you have a choice to spend your days focused on what's broken, or you can recognize our freedoms and fight to protect them. [1:11:43] As Americans, we are all privileged to live in the greatest country in the world. [1:11:57] Is it perfect? [1:12:05] No, it's not. [1:12:07] Do we have problems to solve? [1:12:09] Of course. [1:12:10] Of course we do. [1:12:12] But our country is the best that we have. [1:12:15] And I do not want to lose it. [1:12:17] If you look around the world right now, Europe has surrendered itself to third world criminals. [1:12:28] And under the Biden administration, we were on track for that for ourselves. [1:12:32] But President Trump came in and course corrected. [1:12:40] In countries like Nigeria, radical Islamists are murdering Christians for their faith. [1:12:47] In Canada, they'll tell you you're better off getting medically assisted suicide than believing in the sanctity of life. [1:12:54] While in America, we understand that a free life is worth living. [1:13:02] But there is nowhere else on earth, nowhere else on earth like the United States of America. [1:13:08] There is not. [1:13:08] And with this powerful combination of freedom, the ability to live your life with your faith openly, [1:13:15] and the chance to build a life, nowhere else like it. [1:13:18] And nowhere else I would want to be. [1:13:20] And I'm sure you guys feel the same exact way. [1:13:22] But that didn't just happen by accident. [1:13:29] It happened because generations have fought and sacrificed everything for it. [1:13:36] And because all of us, as a united front, said enough is enough and showed up to vote for President Trump in 2024. [1:13:46] Amazing. [1:13:47] We said enough was enough. [1:13:52] And I'll never forget after that election. [1:13:53] I know none of you will either. [1:13:55] Charlie's sitting there. [1:13:58] He was going through the numbers. [1:14:00] He was going through the maps. [1:14:02] He was looking at all the data points. [1:14:06] And he said to us, he goes, this is it. [1:14:09] He said, the red wall. [1:14:10] He said, if you can secure Arizona, Nevada, and New Hampshire, [1:14:15] and you're investing into these states and not just into these races, [1:14:19] he said their maps will collapse and their strategies will fail. [1:14:23] And it inspired us to no end. [1:14:26] Totally inspired us. [1:14:31] But we don't get to just sit back and admire that win from 2024. [1:14:36] We have to fight to protect it. [1:14:39] Every day. [1:14:40] That's right. [1:14:41] Every day. [1:14:42] And Arizona is home for me. [1:14:43] I was raised here. [1:14:45] I fell in love here. [1:14:46] I got married here. [1:14:49] We're raising our children here. [1:14:51] We're not going to sit back and just watch this state or this country be completely torn apart. [1:15:00] Completely torn apart. [1:15:01] We're not going to watch that. [1:15:03] Because they want this state. [1:15:06] They want this state. [1:15:07] And Turning Point Action will fight to defend it. [1:15:10] And I refuse. [1:15:12] I refuse to let California become Arizona. [1:15:22] Not happening. [1:15:23] Not happening. [1:15:25] We don't want Arizona to elect people like Eric Swalwell. [1:15:29] No, we don't. [1:15:31] No, we want. [1:15:31] But I will say, unfortunately, we do have his best friend, Ruben Gallego, here. [1:15:36] So we have some work to do. [1:15:37] We have some work to do. [1:15:41] But seriously, though, I do not want a country to look like the protesters outside who are [1:15:49] celebrating the murder of my husband. [1:15:52] I do not want a country like that. [1:15:56] So let's not forget how quickly things can go in the wrong direction. [1:15:59] We just lived through four years of corruption dressed up as compassion. [1:16:08] Four years of that. [1:16:10] You remember when we had Christian pro-life activists being persecuted for their beliefs? [1:16:20] Remember when concerned parents were getting targeted by federal law enforcement just for [1:16:25] showing up at their school board meetings? [1:16:28] Remember Lake and Riley? [1:16:32] I do. [1:16:35] Remember wide open borders? [1:16:36] Half a million people poured into this state alone thanks to an administration that didn't [1:16:43] care about stopping them. [1:16:45] And now, 452 days into the Trump administration, look at what has already been done. [1:16:53] Look at it. [1:16:54] There are accomplishments. [1:16:59] And yes, there is more to be done. [1:17:01] But my husband and all of you fought for this. [1:17:04] And we achieved it. [1:17:05] And now we have to show up again with 80 to 90 percent voter turnout in the midterms and [1:17:19] fortify the red wall for the next decade. [1:17:23] That's what we need to do. [1:17:24] But at the same time, you have people out there who are actively trying to tear this country [1:17:40] apart. [1:17:41] They love to start fights, dividing us all against each other, spreading negativity, all [1:17:52] to get clicks and influence the algorithm to maximize profits. [1:17:56] Meanwhile, building is hard. [1:18:03] Getting out the vote, talking to real people, spiritual revival, that's actual work. [1:18:11] That is actual work. [1:18:15] And my husband, Charlie, gave his life for that work. [1:18:19] And what gets built lasts for generations long after the noise has run out of one-liners. [1:18:31] No one understands this better than President Trump. [1:18:35] No one. [1:18:36] No matter what they throw at him, he perseveres in the face of adversity because the mission [1:18:43] is too important because this country is worth fighting for. [1:18:53] And he is not alone in this fight. [1:18:56] And we are blessed to be Americans. [1:18:59] And we are going to fight like it. [1:19:01] And ladies and gentlemen, there is no one else I'd rather have on our side than President [1:19:06] Donald J. Trump. [1:19:08] God bless you guys. [1:19:09] Biden's column in 2020, more than 80% of all the nation's counties move toward the right. [1:19:44] The shift is decisive and leaves Democrats arguing over how they misread the people. [1:19:50] They tried to kick him off the ballot in 50 states. [1:19:54] He stopped them. [1:19:55] They tried to compartmentalize him, trying to break him by nature. [1:19:59] They tried to lock him up in jail. [1:20:01] He beat them. [1:20:02] They said he couldn't possibly win the White House again. [1:20:06] It had only been done once in his group. [1:20:08] He won. [1:20:08] He wants to make the country safer and more prosperous than it's ever been. [1:20:47] As he continues to do that, we will not only win the mid-term elections, but we will elect [1:20:53] a Republican to succeed in it. [1:20:55] We should win in Alaska. [1:20:57] We will do everything we can do. [1:20:59] Together with all of you, we will make great again. [1:21:06] We love you. [1:21:19] Thank you very much. [1:23:52] Thank you very much. [1:23:53] That's fantastic. [1:24:04] Well, I want to especially, I want to thank all those seniors, but I want to thank all the [1:24:10] young people. [1:24:11] I've never seen so many young people in my life. [1:24:15] And I want to say a special hello to Phoenix. [1:24:18] We had a big win in Phoenix and a big win in Arizona and a big win all over the country. [1:24:26] I'm thrilled to be back in the great state of Arizona with the hardworking, God-fearing [1:24:31] patriots of Turning Point Action and Turning Point USA. [1:24:36] Seven months ago, our country lost a fearless warrior, my friend, for freedom, and he was [1:24:46] just an amazing man. [1:24:48] He was an amazing person. [1:24:50] Charlie Kirk. [1:24:51] Just an amazing guy. [1:24:53] Charlie was murdered by a cruel and vicious assassin who believed that by silencing his voice, [1:25:01] he could kill an entire giant movement. [1:25:05] But standing here today, it's clear to see that Charlie's voice is not silenced. [1:25:10] It's roaring and roaring back louder, frankly, than ever before. [1:25:14] His message is unstoppable. [1:25:18] His mission is totally unstoppable, and his movement is forget it. [1:25:25] It's not going to happen any other way but success. [1:25:28] It's amazing what he's done. [1:25:30] He was such a great friend of mine. [1:25:31] We talked all the time, we speak all the time, talking about politics, we talked about God, [1:25:37] we talked about everything you can talk about. [1:25:39] He was a special person. [1:25:40] I want to just thank Erica. [1:25:42] She was put into a rough situation, don't kid yourself. [1:25:45] That's a rough situation. [1:25:47] Those people think it's easy. [1:25:50] I told her, not so easy, Erica, but she loved that man more than anything else, and she's [1:25:56] done a really terrific job. [1:25:58] I want to thank her on behalf of all of us. [1:25:59] Because together, we're making America great again, and this November, we're going to win [1:26:08] the midterms, we're going to win, and we're going to win like Deborah before. [1:26:14] For some reason, even if you have a great presidency, if you have an, I don't think there's been [1:26:18] one like this, and we have some good news I'll tell you about, would anybody like to hear [1:26:23] about Iran in the week? [1:26:28] You know, this was scheduled a long time ago, and I said, let's not do any media for a little [1:26:33] while here, or him. [1:26:35] This is sort of interesting, they're all waiting, look at all the fake news back there. [1:26:43] We could fill this place up four times, would anybody like to give up your seat, allow somebody [1:26:48] to, but it's really, it's really been an incredible period of time, and I'll tell you [1:26:55] about it, but in 2024, Turning Points Grassroots Army helped us win Arizona in an absolute landslide. [1:27:03] We won all seven swing states, we won the electoral college 312 to 226, we won the popular vote [1:27:15] by millions of votes, and we won, and that's the first time in decades that a Republican, [1:27:21] I don't know what that's all about, won the popular vote, but we won by a lot, and we won [1:27:25] 86% of all counties, now think of that, counties, to me that's the biggest of all, most important [1:27:32] of all, 86% of all counties in America, 2,700 to 525. [1:27:39] That's called a landslide, and I want to thank everybody at Turning Point Action who's working [1:27:46] tirelessly to help us get out the vote this November 3rd, and I especially want to thank [1:27:52] all of the executives, and Erica Kirk in particular, thank you. [1:27:56] This will be a great and brilliant day for the world, because Iran has just announced that [1:28:08] the Strait of Hormuz is fully open and ready for business, and full passage. [1:28:14] But the naval blockade, we're the greatest navy in the world, from the greatest military the [1:28:27] world has ever seen, we built it during my first term, we built it, they said it was crazy, [1:28:34] we weren't so crazy, we're away, we'll remain in full force and effect, as it pertains to [1:28:41] Iran until such time as our transaction with Iran is 100% complete and fully signed. [1:28:52] And this process, we're getting along well, but who knows, who knows with anyone, but [1:28:56] who knows with Iran in particular, this process should go very quickly, that most of the points [1:29:03] are already negotiated and agreed to, you'll be very happy. [1:29:08] The USA will get all nuclear dust, you know what the nuclear dust is? [1:29:13] That was that white powdery substance created by our B-2 bombers, those great B-2 bombers, [1:29:20] late one evening, seven months ago, no money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form. [1:29:28] Iran will be, and you know how we can get the dust, right? [1:29:32] Iran. [1:29:33] We're going to take it anyway, but taking it that way is slightly more dangerous. [1:29:39] But we're going to get it anyway. [1:29:41] Iran, with the help of the USA, has removed, or is removing all of the sea mines, and most [1:29:48] importantly, it never agreed, and you'll understand, they will never have a nuclear weapon. [1:29:55] They will never have a nuclear weapon. [1:29:56] And somebody said, how are we going to get the nuclear dust? [1:30:07] We're going to get it by going in with Iran, with lots of excavators, because the B-2's, [1:30:13] remember when fake news CNN said, well, maybe obliteration is too strong a word, obliteration. [1:30:20] That's so deep. [1:30:21] We need the biggest excavators you can imagine, but we're going to go in together with Iran, [1:30:26] we're going to get it, and we're going to take it back home to the USA. [1:30:32] And now that the Harmer's Strait situation is almost over, I received a call from NATO asking [1:30:41] if we would like some help. [1:30:43] Thank you very much, NATO. [1:30:47] And I told them I would have liked your help two months ago, but now I really don't want [1:30:52] your help anymore, because they were absolutely useless when we needed them. [1:31:01] But actually, we never needed them. [1:31:03] They needed us. [1:31:05] They need us. [1:31:06] They need us so badly. [1:31:08] You know, it's a little bit like if you're a politician, it's hard to believe I'm a politician, [1:31:12] but after I won, people came up to me, sir, I'd like to make a major contribution to campaign. [1:31:19] And I said, listen, just so you understand, campaign contributions after I won don't count. [1:31:27] And NATO, after we won, that doesn't count. [1:31:31] It was the same thing. [1:31:33] But you have to remember that, because we spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year. [1:31:44] We spend money. [1:31:46] We spend, I would say, in many cases, close to a trillion dollars over a couple of years. [1:31:54] A trillion must help them. [1:31:56] And we're always helping them. [1:31:59] And this was just a military excursion. [1:32:02] This isn't the big, this isn't the big time. [1:32:06] You know, we built the military so great. [1:32:08] I'm so proud of it. [1:32:09] It was one of the big, including Space Force. [1:32:10] You know, you see all of that? [1:32:12] When you see those rockets go one, look up there. [1:32:16] This Space Force, we all created Space Force. [1:32:19] Didn't exist. [1:32:20] We were losing to China and to Russia in space. [1:32:23] And that was so far ahead of them both, you wouldn't believe it. [1:32:27] But yesterday, on top of it all, we achieved what everyone said was impossible, an unprecedented [1:32:34] ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. [1:32:36] And that hasn't taken place in 78 years. [1:32:40] 78. [1:32:42] Our deal with Iran is not in any way tied to Lebanon, but we will make Lebanon great again. [1:32:51] I mean, it's about time we get started. [1:32:53] We've sort of, the world has forgotten them. [1:32:56] And they're good people who have lived like hell for a long period of time. [1:33:00] And hopefully the situation with Hezbollah will get straightened out quickly. [1:33:06] But I want to thank the country of Pakistan and its great Prime Minister and its great, [1:33:12] great Field Marshal. [1:33:13] He's our great Field Marshal. [1:33:15] Two fantastic people for helping. [1:33:17] They really are terrific people. [1:33:20] And I also want to thank Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait. [1:33:26] They've been amazing. [1:33:27] They've all helped tremendously. [1:33:29] Tremendously. [1:33:30] And it took courage for them. [1:33:36] Not easy. [1:33:37] Not easy. [1:33:38] They were living with what they call the bully of the Middle East. [1:33:41] They had the bully. [1:33:42] Iran was the bully of the Middle East. [1:33:43] They're not the bully anymore. [1:33:45] With the help of everyone here today, this has been by far the most successful first [1:33:51] year of any administration in the history of our country. [1:33:55] Acknowledged by everybody. [1:33:56] To begin with, I ended eight wars. [1:34:01] And it may be a little early to say this, but if we add Iran and Lebanon, that will be [1:34:08] ten wars ended and many, many millions of lives saved. [1:34:13] Think of how many lives we've saved. [1:34:15] Starting on day one, we ended the illegal invasion of America. [1:34:24] That's an invasion by criminals. [1:34:27] Many, many criminals, murderers, drug dealers, prisoners. [1:34:31] They emptied out their prisons into our country. [1:34:34] And we took the most dangerous, unsafe, violent and open border and created the most secure border in U.S. history. [1:34:44] One of the most secure borders anywhere in the world with zero illegal aliens coming into our country in the past 11 months. Zero. [1:34:52] And in 2025, we achieved the largest drop in violent crime ever recorded. [1:34:59] That's despite all of these people that came into our country. [1:35:02] Many of them and now God, I'm pleased to tell you. [1:35:05] The murder rate. [1:35:06] The murder rate. [1:35:08] Isn't it a terrible thing to be talking about murder, but you gotta say it. [1:35:11] At least it was good news. [1:35:12] I guess it was good news. [1:35:13] The murder rate reached the lowest level in over 125 years. [1:35:19] 1900. [1:35:20] The year 1900, before my father was born. [1:35:24] My father was great before he was born. [1:35:27] The flow of deadly fentanyl pouring across our border is down by an astounding 59%. [1:35:34] And as you probably noticed if you watched the news, illegal drugs coming in by ocean or sea are down by 97%. [1:35:48] We're trying to find out who the 3% is because I consider them to be perhaps the bravest people anywhere in the world. [1:36:06] Boom. [1:36:09] Or they don't watch television or something. [1:36:12] We passed the largest tax cuts in American history. [1:36:16] The largest spending cuts in American history. [1:36:19] The largest regulation cuts in American history. [1:36:22] And the largest investment in border security in the history of our country. [1:36:27] And starting my first day in office, we banned the transgender mutilization of our children. [1:36:36] And we made it the official policy of the United States of America that there are only two genders. [1:36:49] Male and female. [1:36:51] That was easy. [1:36:56] Could you imagine if I was up here 20 years ago or 15 years ago, probably 12 years ago. [1:37:04] And he said, there are only two genders. [1:37:07] Male and female. [1:37:08] People would say, what else is he saying that for? [1:37:10] Is he crazy? [1:37:11] It's got to be the worst speech I've ever heard. [1:37:14] Why is he saying that? [1:37:17] Or why is he saying that we got men out of women's sports? [1:37:21] Can you imagine saying that 15 years ago? [1:37:24] 15 years ago. [1:37:26] If you said, and we got men out of women's sports. [1:37:30] The audience just said, what's wrong with that guy? [1:37:34] That's the craziest thing I've ever heard. [1:37:36] And we got critical race theory out of our schools. [1:37:41] And we abolished DEI across the entire federal government. [1:37:50] And we eliminated so-called affirmative action in federal contracting and university admissions. [1:38:00] If you get great marks and great scores, and your boards are good, everything's good, you're getting in. [1:38:08] People can't go before. [1:38:10] We have a country now that again is based on merit. [1:38:15] That's the way we became great. [1:38:21] But we have to win the midterms at all of these things. [1:38:24] It'll stay with us forever. [1:38:26] But if we don't win the midterms, I said it during my State of the Union speech when I interviewed and talked to some people backstage. [1:38:36] I said, you know, I'd like to have some of these people called out for their greatness. [1:38:42] And we gave out, as you know that night, the Congressional Medal of Honor to a young man who was flying a helicopter with practically his legs shut off. [1:38:51] And he landed in Venezuela perfectly with a lot of men on board, like 48. [1:38:57] And if that goes down, the Venezuela, incredible attack. [1:39:03] Nobody killed. [1:39:04] Hundreds of millions of barrels of oil taken out. [1:39:08] The relationship with Venezuela is great. [1:39:10] We're working. [1:39:11] It's like a great partnership. [1:39:12] But if that doesn't happen, we looked at the Democrats. [1:39:17] Not one was slapping. [1:39:19] Medal of Honor. [1:39:20] Then we interviewed a mother, a beautiful mother, whose daughter was slashed from behind by a maniac. [1:39:26] She could hardly stand. [1:39:28] It was eight months ago. [1:39:30] She could hardly stand, crying uncontrollably. [1:39:34] Not one Democrat was clapping. [1:39:37] Then we introduced a war hero from 100 years. [1:39:41] He was 101 years old. [1:39:43] Gave him the Congressional Medal of Honor for his great heroics. [1:39:46] Wasn't recognized until I came along. [1:39:49] Not one Democrat, clap. [1:39:52] Not one Democrat. [1:39:53] And now they don't want to pay our border security. [1:39:59] And they don't want to pay our great patriots of ICE. [1:40:02] You know, ICE is a tough job. [1:40:03] You got those murderers that they allowed into our country. [1:40:06] Think of it. [1:40:07] Thousands of murderers came into our country. [1:40:10] 11,888, 50% of whom killed more than one person. [1:40:18] These are violent criminals. [1:40:22] And ICE is tough. [1:40:23] And I don't want that job. [1:40:26] And most of you don't either. [1:40:27] I have a couple of friends in the front row. [1:40:29] And they're tough people. [1:40:30] But they're not that tough. [1:40:31] They don't want that job. [1:40:32] And if we don't have ICE, and if we don't have our great border patrol, [1:40:35] and if we don't have our great policemen, [1:40:37] and all of these people, they're incredible. [1:40:39] They keep our country great. [1:40:40] They keep our country safe. [1:40:41] And the Democrats, the Democrats want to defund them. [1:40:47] They want to defund ICE. [1:40:48] They want ICE terminated. [1:40:50] And you know, whether you're liberal, conservative, [1:40:54] doesn't matter. [1:40:55] Democrat, Republican, Independent, it's crazy. [1:41:00] And I looked at them as we went through about seven moments [1:41:05] when you had to clap. [1:41:07] And they didn't. [1:41:08] I said, these people are crazy. [1:41:10] They're crazy. [1:41:11] And you know, I don't know if you noticed, [1:41:15] the word was passed to them from people that were watching, [1:41:20] I guess, on television, maybe standing backstage. [1:41:23] They said, this guy is killing you. [1:41:27] Start clapping. [1:41:28] And the last half hour, they were clapping for everything, I said. [1:41:32] They were clapping for everything. [1:41:34] Things they shouldn't have been clapping for. [1:41:36] Because they heard they were getting killed. [1:41:38] Just remember that night. [1:41:39] That night was a very telling night. [1:41:41] And we don't want to go back to that. [1:41:45] We don't want to open borders where millions of people [1:41:47] pour into our country. [1:41:49] We want to have safe borders. [1:41:51] We want people coming into our country, [1:41:53] but they want to come in and we have to have them come in legally. [1:41:57] Very simple. [1:41:58] So I signed a historic executive order [1:42:07] starting the process of shutting down [1:42:09] the Federal Department of Education [1:42:11] and sending education back to the States. [1:42:15] Thank you, Linda McMahon. [1:42:17] Linda McMahon. [1:42:18] You know, education. [1:42:23] Move back to the States where it should be. [1:42:26] You don't want to have a bureaucrat from Washington [1:42:28] who couldn't care less about your community [1:42:30] telling you how to educate your child. [1:42:32] You have your local boards and your parent groups. [1:42:36] One thing, I know you love your children. [1:42:38] I'm not sure that they do. [1:42:39] But we've largely removed education. [1:42:42] When we just did it, just move them back. [1:42:45] You know, we're supposed to go through a long process. [1:42:48] Thank you, by the way, to Linda McMahon. [1:42:50] She's been fantastic. [1:42:52] Fantastic. [1:42:53] And we removed over 300,000 bureaucrats from federal payrolls. [1:43:01] They had sometimes 10, 11, 12 people to do one job [1:43:05] and they just sit there. [1:43:06] And you know what? [1:43:07] I have a lot of respect for it. [1:43:08] Whatever. [1:43:09] But you can't run a country like that. [1:43:13] You can't, as the expression goes, [1:43:15] has anyone ever heard of it? [1:43:16] Make America great again. [1:43:18] You can't make America great again when you do that. [1:43:21] So we've done that and, you know, [1:43:23] many of those people are very happy. [1:43:25] Because right now more people are working in the United States [1:43:27] than at any time in the history of our country. [1:43:30] And many of those people that had these boring, lousy jobs [1:43:36] where they weren't even jobs. [1:43:39] Federal government, they went out, they got jobs in the private sector [1:43:42] because we have the most people working that we've ever had before. [1:43:45] And they're making more money and enjoying their job. [1:43:47] It's sort of an amazing phenomenon. [1:43:49] After decades of other countries stealing our jobs [1:43:53] and plundering our wealth, [1:43:55] thanks to our strong policy on tariffs, [1:43:58] we cut our gaping trade deficit. [1:44:00] Now, if you do 1%, you're considered like a genius. [1:44:05] If you do 2% or 3%, it's unheard of. [1:44:09] We cut it by 59% this year, our trade gap. [1:44:14] It's the largest drop of a trade gap. [1:44:19] Think of it. [1:44:20] It's the largest drop in history, the history of our country. [1:44:24] 59%. [1:44:25] Can you believe it? [1:44:27] So if you're a genius with 1%, and really a super genius at 3%, [1:44:33] what are you with 59%? [1:44:35] As part of our tax cuts, we delivered, a lot of you benefited by this, [1:44:42] no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on social security for our great seniors. [1:44:49] You know, the great big beautiful bill is really the great big beautiful tax cut bill, [1:44:57] but it was also, we gave you the right to deduct your interest payments on a car loan, [1:45:03] but only if it's made in the USA. [1:45:04] That's been incredible. [1:45:05] You never had that right before. [1:45:07] And this week, millions of Americans received the largest tax refunds of their lives. [1:45:13] The average is more than $4,000 per file. [1:45:17] Think of that. [1:45:18] So nobody knew this was going to happen, but now they're getting their refunds back, [1:45:22] and they're much larger than I said. [1:45:25] In other words, I under-exaggerated, which is better. [1:45:28] And in four long years, Sleepy Joe Biden, have you heard of him? [1:45:34] What a president. [1:45:37] What a disaster. [1:45:38] But the whole party, it was the party. [1:45:41] He didn't run the country. [1:45:42] The people surrounding the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, they ran the party. [1:45:46] Radical left lunatics. [1:45:48] But in four long years, Sleepy Joe Biden got less than $1 trillion invested in our country, [1:45:55] much less. [1:45:56] And in 12 months, so think of it, four years. [1:45:59] Ours is 12 months, and it's actually 11 because we haven't gotten to the last month. [1:46:04] So in 11 months versus, think of that, versus four years, they did less than a trillion. [1:46:12] In 11 months, we did $18 trillion of new investments coming into our country. [1:46:17] And that's a record for any country anywhere in the world by allot. [1:46:23] And the king of Saudi Arabia told me, when I was in Saudi Arabia, they invested $2 trillion in our country. [1:46:33] But he looked at me, he said, you know, Mr. President, a short time ago, we viewed the United States as a dead country. [1:46:40] We thought it was dead. [1:46:41] And now you have the hottest country anywhere in the world. [1:46:45] And he's right. [1:46:46] The hottest country anywhere in the world. [1:46:48] For years before I took office, people thought that America was in decline, that our best days were in the past, and that the sun was setting on American power. [1:47:01] But no one thinks that anymore, because we are indeed the strongest, the hottest, the best country anywhere in the world. [1:47:11] And you know what? Nobody laughs at us anymore. They were laughing. They thought we were a laughing mess. [1:47:17] Under this administration, America is on the march, and America is on the rise like we haven't seen maybe ever before. [1:47:28] We are respected again as a country, and we're respected at levels that nobody thought possible. [1:47:33] Unlike past leaders, this administration does not apologize for American power. [1:47:39] We are not ashamed of American might, and we do not hesitate to defend the American people, which is what we've been doing for the last two months, [1:47:48] because Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. It's very simple. [1:47:53] For years, we were ruled by fools who let every third-rate country push us around and bleed us dry on trade and everything else they could get away with. [1:48:10] They took advantage of us on trade. Not any more than that. But those days are over, and they're gone forever. [1:48:18] America was not founded by weak and timid men who cowered in the face of evil or sat by as danger loomed and let our country go to hell. [1:48:28] We are descended from the likes of George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Generals Ulysses S. Grant, Douglas MacArthur, General George Patton. [1:48:40] Our ancestors knew exactly what to do with America's enemies. Beat them and beat them good. That's what they had to do. [1:48:48] That's what they had to do. And if NATO teaches us any one thing, and I hope you all watched, because they weren't there for us. [1:48:59] If it teaches us any one thing, we have to rely on ourselves. We can't rely on outside countries and outside sources. [1:49:11] So do not listen to the craven and cowardly voices who tell you America needs to think small or to shrink from our duties or potential. [1:49:20] Most people, they wanted to, you know, this recent situation, they wanted to do it, but they said, oh, let's not get involved. [1:49:30] Sometimes you have to get involved. You have no choice but to get involved. If you're going to remain great, sometimes you have to get involved. [1:49:38] Remember, I'm the peacemaker. I'm the one that settled eight wars. I settled a war that would have killed 30 to 50 million people. India, Pakistan. You have to sometimes get involved. [1:49:52] We are the inheritors of the most incredible civilization that has ever existed, and our task is to defend it. We have to defend it. [1:50:02] Past leaders used our wealth and power to make other countries rich and treated our military like a charity for the world while getting barely a word of thanks in return. [1:50:13] Nobody thanks us. They don't say, oh, thank you so much. They don't thank us. They think we're stupid. That's really what it is. They don't thank us. [1:50:21] Now we're using American strength to advance American interests for American citizens and to ensure that we remain the most dominant country on the face of the earth, which we're doing at levels that nobody can believe, actually. [1:50:35] Every branch of our armed forces is setting new recruitment records, records that nobody thought would be possible because everyone wants to be a part of the greatest military the world has ever seen. [1:50:50] In January, our warriors flew straight into the heart of the Venezuelan capital, captured the outlaw dictator, Nicolas Maduro, and brought him to face American justice, which is what he's doing right now. [1:51:08] And very soon, this great strength will also bring about a day, 70 years in waiting. It's called a new dawn for Cuba. We're going to help them out with Cuba. [1:51:24] We have a lot of great Cuban Americans, not too many people in this audience, I don't think, but you go to Miami, we have people, Cuban Americans, people that were brutally treated and whose families were killed and brutalized. [1:51:40] And now, watch what happens. Under this governing philosophy, instead of locking down our energy resources and putting ourselves at the mercy of those that hate us, and they hate us, and they don't respect us, but they do now, we are unleashing our own supplies with those really beautiful words, perhaps you've heard them before, drill, baby, drill. [1:52:04] Right? And because of that, we now produce more oil than Russia and Saudi Arabia combined, and very soon, that number will more than double. That's pretty good. [1:52:21] That's pretty good. In addition, our new partner, Venezuela. Venezuela's been great, really doing a good job over there, is adding very substantially to that number. [1:52:36] Likewise, instead of using our wealth to throw open our borders and feed, house, clothe, and police the entire world, we're restoring the principle that America's immigration policies must serve the best interests of America and its great citizens. [1:52:54] It's called America first. It's very simple. [1:52:58] And we'll help other countries, but we have to view it as America first. Otherwise, we're not going to have a country left. [1:53:05] At this moment, Democrats have shut down the Department of Homeland Security to shield the world's most heinous and violent criminals from deportation. [1:53:14] They want to keep them in our country. They have a murderer killed many people. They want to keep them in our country. They're fighting very hard to keep them here. [1:53:22] There's something, I'm telling you, there's something wrong with these people. [1:53:27] They want to protect deranged monsters like the illegal alien from Haiti, who recently beat a mother of two to death with a hammer at a Florida gas station for all to see. [1:53:38] It was all on tape. You saw just a week ago. Last month, a migrant criminal with 15 prior charges and four prior deportations threw an 83-year-old veteran onto the subway tracks in New York City. [1:53:52] Killing him instantly as he got run over by a subway train, threw him in. It's all on tape. [1:54:02] Democrats want to protect him. They want to protect criminal aliens. Republicans want to put them in jail or ideally deport them as long as they never come back. [1:54:13] And under my leadership, we ended asylum fraud. We ended all catch and release. We stopped third-world migration. We suspended all refugee resettlement except for persecuted South Africans. They're being persecuted in South Africa. In South Africa, there's a very horrible thing going on in South Africa. It's a genocide. It's a horrible thing. And we made it possible for these people to come into our country. They killed people if there was. [1:54:35] If you're white. If you're a white person. And I tell you what, I did great with the black vote, the African American vote, and they understand this better than anybody. South Africa, they killed white farmers. And we said, you come into our country and we let you come in. [1:54:46] they kill people if they're white if you're a white person and I'll tell you [1:54:51] what I did great with the black vote the african-american vote and they [1:54:55] understand is better than anybody South Africa they kill white farmers and we [1:55:02] said you come into our country and we let you come in you get a green car and [1:55:07] you get a passport you get you can stay in our country terrible you can't let [1:55:14] go on we don't have to talk about it people don't like talking about it you [1:55:19] know New York Times wrote a story about it years ago that was the only story [1:55:23] they ever wrote I'm sure the reporter got fired immediately but we've deported a [1:55:30] record number of criminal aliens a record nobody's ever seen the numbers like this [1:55:34] that for the first time in more than 50 years we now have reverse migration and [1:55:39] beautiful thing actually and just imagine where our country would be today if [1:55:45] instead of spending trillions of dollars on illegal migrants who come into our [1:55:51] country illegally and spending it on the green news scam one of the greatest scams [1:55:55] in history remember climate change global warming all of this they actually had [1:56:02] global warming remember that that wasn't working because we're actually cooling this [1:56:06] planet then they had another one and another one and another one and they were wrong and [1:56:12] then they just said climate change because climate change takes care of heat snow [1:56:17] whatever you got but past leaders that used American wealth and power to raise our [1:56:23] civilization to brand new heights this is the choice for every voter in the [1:56:29] midterms Democrats want to drag America down destroy our country put it into [1:56:34] crime poverty and squalor really the squalor of a third world nation we would have [1:56:40] been if I didn't win this election within a short period of time we would have been a [1:56:45] third world nation hard to believe isn't it Republicans want to build America up into [1:56:54] a nation with no rivals human history to make your family safer and wealthier than ever before we're [1:57:01] making your family safe we're making you safe so if you want a poor and weak America a country that's [1:57:14] riddled with crime death disease and nothing but problems you should immediately vote Democrat if [1:57:24] you want a rich and strong and a country that you're going to be proud of America you must go out in [1:57:31] the midterms and vote Republican we need them and I was going to say that when a president wins [1:57:43] Republican or Democrat for some reason they lose the midterms often most of the time it doesn't make [1:57:48] sense even if you have a president who's doing a good job and I think I'm doing the best job [1:57:53] I think when you add it all up when you add it all up nobody's done what we've done but for some [1:58:03] reason a president Republican Democrat the party does poorly in the midterms it doesn't make sense [1:58:11] I'm still trying to figure it out we'll go out I think probably hire a couple of psychiatrists what [1:58:17] the hell is going on in your mind does that happen because it should be the opposite we're doing well [1:58:22] we're doing our job we're ending wars all over the place by the way with the exception of our little [1:58:28] excursion and where do you see prices fall did you see oil is down today and prices are down today [1:58:34] but we inherited the highest prices in the history of our country we inherited that and then we worked [1:58:44] on it and what a job we've done and we took inflation way down we inherited the worst inflation [1:58:48] in history and what a job but we had to put out that flame we had to put out that horrible fire really [1:58:55] that was taking place in Iran we had to do it otherwise you want to see a problem give them [1:59:01] a nuclear weapon they'd use it the first day you want to see a problem it would use it the first day [1:59:07] that could happen so we're thrilled to be joined today by many incredible Arizona leaders who will [1:59:13] help

mandate you know they said if we could win three [2:05:44] or four of the swing states that would be incredible because it's a little harder for a Republican for some [2:05:49] reason I'll tell you what the reason is they cheat they cheat like hell remember I got out I said [2:05:57] make it make it too big to rig don't believe the polls the polls had his way up don't believe the [2:06:03] polls

that should [2:06:19] do it and we want all seven right all seven as you remember I recently directed the Secretary of War how [2:06:28] good is Pete Hegseth doing to begin releasing government files relating to UFOs and unexplained [2:06:40] aerial phenomena and I figured this was a good crowd because I know you people you're really into that I don't know [2:06:48] I am so I'm pleased to report today I thought I'd save it for this crowd because you're a little bit out [2:06:54] there you know a little bit that this process is well underway and we found many very interesting [2:07:01] documents I must say and the first releases will begin very very soon so you can go out and see if [2:07:08] that phenomena is correct you'll figure it out let me know let me know but we've had a lot of a lot of [2:07:14] questions it's uh it's something that really captivates the mind there's no question about it with [2:07:20] your support we will crush violent crime impose harsh new penalties for repeat offenders I mean we [2:07:27] have people that have been taken in 28 times we have some 28 times and they let them go out two [2:07:34] days later crack down on Marxist prosecutors and rogue judges the judges are horrible and deadly [2:07:43] sanctuary cities in our country and no cash bail which really started it all no cash bail is a disaster [2:07:51] somebody shoots somebody they go in they just let them out then they go shoot somebody else the same [2:07:55] day we will stop the radical left Democrats rampant looting of your taxpayer dollars and we will win [2:08:02] the
