President Trump delivers remarks to supporters

[7:18] up San Antonio. Let's go. I've been back there listening to this energy all night. Let's go. [7:26] I came over from Houston. Houston is my home with my family, but I came over here to see all of you [7:36] and our great president, of course. Let me give a quick shout out to Fox real quick. 30 years [7:45] celebrating 30 years way to go. Fox and friends want to get them in. But what a privilege it is [7:52] for me to be here to intro our great president. Yes, a man that loves our country that puts all [8:00] of us first and puts America first. This is what I love. He's made us better. He's made us stronger [8:13] and more importantly, because of the border and everything here, he's made us safer. [8:20] And don't forget, this is really important. Don't forget this man. He put his life on the line for [8:27] us. Don't ever don't ever forget that. The theme of the evening is get out and vote. Get out and vote, [8:38] y'all. You can do it. And now short and sweet, your 45th and 47th president. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. [8:51] Let me say this. Wait a second. And I might add, I might, I might add a damn good golfer. He's gotten [9:02] better with age. Ladies and gentlemen, your president of the United States, Donald J. Trump. Thank you. Wow. [11:50] This is a nice place. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you. Thank you very much. [12:03] And I want to especially thank a true star, a true great one, Roger Clemens, one of the greatest [12:09] baseball players of all time. And hello to the great state of Texas. Thank you. [12:20] I've won the state all three times, and I'm proud to have received more votes than any candidate in the [12:30] history of Texas. But with your support, 27 days from now, we're going to crush Democrat communist [12:43] James Telefrico and crush him at the ballot box. We're going to send Ken Paxton, who's, [12:53] remember, he is perhaps the greatest attorney general in the United States of America. I think [13:04] he's probably the greatest attorney general in the history of the state of Texas. He is tough, [13:10] and he was with us all the way. And so I just want to thank him. He's a fantastic, [13:16] he's a fantastic man. And what a job he's done. And you know, you get elected on job performance. If [13:22] you get elected on job performance, you're going to have a blowout because there's nobody like him, [13:27] right? Even Ted Cruz agrees. Even Ted Cruz agrees. He never agrees. He's a great guy. And we're going to [13:37] reelect Dan Patrick as your lieutenant governor. So you know, in 2015, I called Dan Patrick. I said, [13:50] you know, I'm going to do this. And I'd love you to be the chairman of my campaign. That's a long time [13:55] ago now. But he's been the chairman of my campaign every, every day for 11 years, right? For 11 years, [14:04] you add it all up. We had a lot of victories. We, we won three times. Think of it. We won three times, [14:12] conclusively. And here in the 35th congressional district, we're also going to send Carlos de la [14:19] Cruz to the U.S. House of Representatives. Carlos, he's right here. Thank you, Carlos. [14:27] I heard you're doing great too. In this election, I'm asking you to pretend. Remember, pretend. You [14:33] just have to pretend. Somebody said, I'm forcing them. I'm not forcing. Pretend that I'm on the ballot [14:38] because we get a lot more votes. We get, when I'm on the ballot, we get exactly 48% more votes. So, [14:50] you know, in a way we are on the ballot, let's face it, because they're going to destroy everything [14:54] that we've done. So, uh, please pretend that I'm on the ballot. Get out and vote. Early voting begins, [15:03] early voting begins October 19th and ends October 30th, or just go vote election day. We don't care. [15:10] Just, you got to get out and vote. You got to vote for Ken. You got to vote for Carlos. You got to vote [15:14] for Dan Patrick. You got to vote for the group. You have great people. He said, don't vote for [15:22] Telefrico. That's it. Only in Texas can they say that. For decades, Texas has been the state where [15:30] people flee to escape the economic oppression and social collapse of Democrat-run California, [15:37] New York, Illinois, and other failing blue states. But if Telefrico and the Democrats get their way, [15:47] all of that squalor, misery, poverty, homelessness. You know, I said it the other day. When the blues get [15:54] in, everything becomes dirty. The streets are dirty. The doorknobs going into stores are dirty. The [16:04] sidewalks are filthy dirty. Everything becomes dirty and has a bad smell. But we're going to escape all that [16:13] of lawlessness, corruption, dysfunction that's coming to destroy your beloved state of Texas, [16:19] if this guy ever got in. And remember this. Proud, long ago, patriots of the Lone Star State [16:30] will never forgive you for what you have done if you let that happen. We got to get, [16:36] we got to get the best guy. He'll be one of the best. I'll tell you what. He'll be one of the best [16:41] senators that we have in this country. You watch. I know my people. I know my people. And I just made [16:51] enemies of about 53 senators, but that's okay. But Texas will be almost instantaneously destroyed if [17:02] Telefrico gets in. I don't even know his other name, you know. I have no idea. I don't even know. [17:11] I have no idea what the hell his name is. I just know him as Telefrico. I will soon resemble, [17:19] it'll soon resemble California. You see, what's California going? Illinois, New York State. A vote for [17:26] Telefrico is a vote to turn Texas into a dirty, failing, crime-ridden third world dumping ground. [17:34] And a vote for Ken Paxton is a vote to save Texas and defend everything that made Texas great and makes [17:45] America great. And I want you to know that the extreme dangers of having somebody like this [18:04] Democrat, it's a Democrat because their policy is so bad. I can't believe it took me nine years to come up [18:10] with that one. Just a little change of two letters, little change. Get rid of the E, replace it with [18:17] the U. I can't believe I didn't do that because we've come up with some good ones, but I can't believe [18:23] it. Like the fake news, like, like now I sort of call it artificial news. You know, we're getting rid of [18:35] artificial intelligence and we're changing it to super intelligence, which is because artificial is fake, [18:45] just like the fake news. Artificial is good. But you look at his unhinged voting record in Texas. [18:56] Telefrico voted to allow dangerous repeat criminals and serial rapists to be immediately released. [19:03] Now he's, he's gone back home to mom right now. He's going to get the hell bowled. Because what he [20:23] doesn't know is that his mom voted for Trump. So this terrible fake, and he is a fake, he said all of a [20:38] sudden, he's a vegan. You know, my wife told me, sir, do me a favor. You have to do me just a little [20:45] bit of a favor. It's not vegan, it's vegan. I don't know about that stuff. I'm not into it. [20:50] And he said, it's vegan. Please pronounce that word properly. I called it vegan, vegan. I thought, [20:58] how the hell would I know? I like steak. She says hello to everybody. Melania says hello. [21:10] He says hello to everybody. A lot of weight. That guy's got to lose a lot of weight. [21:37] So, Telefrico voted. You know, many of these protesters are paid. You know that, right? [21:43] Because you come in, and you know, they'll have like this perfect shirt on, made by the [21:47] best printer money can buy. And they all have, I love when they all have the same exact signs, [21:52] all beautiful pink and purple and blue and all different colors. And they're perfect, [21:57] made by the same printer. Very expensive signs. They don't make these signs. They don't make these [22:02] signs. These are paid protesters. They're paid by enemies of our nation. [22:07] No, I'm telling you, they pay him for this. Do we have a good time? [22:58] If there are any more paid protesters, please raise your hand and get the hell out of here. [23:04] No, but who's going to vote for the guy? So, Telefrico voted in favor of defunding the police. [23:15] And he personally wrote a bill to strip Texas police officers of their legal protection, [23:24] because he wants to destroy the lives of your police officers. He wants to be, think of it, [23:30] he's a defund the police person. He wants to destroy the lives of great people. He called for the [23:38] elimination of all prisons. And he personally introduced a bill to shut down all five juvenile [23:44] detention centers in Texas to let violent thugs and gang members run wild in your streets. You don't hear [23:51] about that. You don't hear about that because the fake news over there won't tell you what's happening. [23:57] He personally authorized a bill to force critical race theory and diversity, equity, and inclusion [24:08] insanity into every public school. He wants that crap to be in our public schools. Whereas I fought for [24:19] school choice and we won school choice because of these people right here. Because of Dan, Ken, [24:27] and Senator Cruz, we won school choice at a level that no other state has won it, by the way. [24:34] It was an honor to help. They called, they said they needed a little help with about 10 senators, [24:39] right? And we called them up, but we got it done, Dan, didn't we, huh? All of these people, [24:44] everyone over here, all of these great congressmen that you have. He authored the Texas version of the [24:51] Green News scam, one of the great scams of all time. You know, they used to call it global warming. [24:56] That didn't work because the planet was getting cooler. So they went to climate change. Remember? [25:00] Because that takes care of rain, sun, heat, cold, whatever. Climate, there's climate change. Remember? [25:07] We were all supposed to be dead. It was 12 years ago. We will be dead with it. That was AOC said [25:14] that. She made it up. She never studied climate. She wasn't a good student anyway. Poor student. No, [25:20] she made it up. Within 12 years, everybody will be dead from global warming. Remember that? [25:26] That wasn't working out. They changed. I thought that was one of the greatest stuff. [25:30] From global warming to climate change. They used to have global cooling, global warming, [25:34] that global everything. Climate change you can't miss. No matter what happens, [25:38] even if it stays the same, you say it changed. And to completely eliminate your oil and gas industry and [25:45] kill millions and millions of Texas jobs. And they're getting smaller. You know what? They're getting [25:59] smaller and smaller. But Telefrico voted against designating the drug cartels as foreign terrorist [26:08] organizations. He voted three times against walls. He doesn't want a wall. Let me tell you, [26:14] I built almost 2,000 miles of wall. And if we didn't build it, you'd have nothing. [26:25] He voted in favor of deadly sanctuary cities and to release criminal aliens to kill innocent Americans. [26:32] He said, just go on, forget them. He's right, actually. Telefrico even voted against a bill [26:48] cracking down on illegal alien child traffickers and child smugglers. He wants to protect them. [26:54] By the way, the one thing I learned about politics, I haven't been doing it that long. You know that, [26:58] right? I love building buildings. I love doing other things. One day I said, let's give it a shot. [27:03] And this is what happened. But one thing I learned about politicians, I know politicians well, [27:09] I've dealt with them all my life. Whatever first comes out of their mouth, that's what they believe. [27:14] So he's got all this bad stuff. Now he's making it up. Now he says he loves meat. But he's a vegan. [27:21] See, Melania? I got that right. Vegan. He's a vegan. He wants to eat a piece of lettuce. A little [27:28] piece of lettuce, please. But he's been seen. You know, you haven't seen him in a couple of weeks. [27:34] I hear the guy's disappeared. Nobody knows. You know where he is? He's sick because he's been forced to eat [27:39] meat for political reasons. And he's throwing up all over the place. He's sick. [27:44] Now, we're all looking. Nobody can find the guy. He's gone for two weeks. [27:55] You know, though, he'd go to barbecues. And again, pure vegan. He'd speak about... Remember, [28:01] he had a mask on three months ago. Anybody wearing a mask in Texas three months ago [28:07] is not going to be your senator. That I can tell. But he'd forced himself to go to barbecues. [28:15] He'd have beautiful barbecues. And he'd show up at a barbecue and hit stuff from little ribs down [28:21] his throat. He'd have a little couple of bites. He doesn't eat big. He's not a big eater. You can [28:27] tell by looking at him. But he'd eat. And then what would happen? He'd go to the back of the tent [28:33] and he'd throw up all over the place because he doesn't want meat. We want our person. You like meat a [28:40] lot, I think. And I have a feeling Ken likes meat. But your state is known for some of the toughest men [28:46] and strongest women in the nation. And that our nation has ever produced legends like Davy Crockett, [28:58] Jim Bowie, William Travis, who fought, who fought, fought the Alamo. I want to go see the Alamo. [29:09] I like the Alamo. Those Texas heroes would be rolling over in their graves at the mere sight [29:17] of Telefrico trying to become a senator from Texas. The people of Texas are not going to let [29:25] weak, gutless, self-hating, transgender-promoting freak shows destroy everything that we've built. [29:32] So you need to go and vote for Ken Paxton for U.S. Senate. He's an all-star attorney general. He's been, [29:44] again, one of the greatest attorney generals in history. Go vote for Ken. We're going to see you [29:53] soon in the Senate, Ken. You're going to be helping us a lot. You know, we've made more progress. Don't [29:59] worry about it. You know, I never talk about looks of a person, but those are really bad-looking people. [30:33] You have to say they are bad-looking people. The last time the radical Democrats had power, [30:51] they tried everything they could to punish and demolish this incredible state, a state that we all [30:56] built together. You are having the greatest years in history in Texas by far. There's never been [31:04] anything. But they gave it for four years the worst inflation in American history, a war on Texas oil [31:14] and gas. And the most evil of all, they allowed 25 million illegal aliens to pour into your communities [31:24] from 140 different countries, including gang members, child predators, human traffickers, [31:30] cartel murderers. Think of it. 11,888 murderers, more than half of which committed more than one [31:41] murder. They allowed these animals into our country. And they're mostly out of here now. We got them out. [31:48] So just remember what it was like here in Texas when the Democrats were in charge. In fact, [31:54] take a look at this little video. [32:06] The issue says that migrants are beyond the world's hope and dishandled. [32:11] Outnumbered and out-resourced border patrol agents say they are struggling to keep up with this [32:16] massive influence of migrants descending on our southern border. [32:18] 12,000 people in a single day crossing the border illegally. That's an all-time record. [32:25] There is quite a normal need to be a death act, right, insisting that the border is healthy. [32:30] Do we have operational control? [32:32] Yes or no. [32:33] That's the definition of operating control. [32:35] Do you recall the definition you have, sir, up there? [32:37] No, we don't have operational control. [32:39] No, sir. [32:39] We feel they've turned their back on not only border patrol agents, but they've sent a clear message [32:44] to us to law enforcement. They're not interested in solving this. [32:47] We need to ensure that the men and women out there controlling the border, investigating these [32:52] two cartels are actually allowed to do their job each and every day. [32:57] Why do you believe there's a broken border? [33:00] It's open, not first. [33:01] What is open? [33:03] There was people there that traveled 8,000 miles with no water because they're hearing that the [33:07] border is open. [33:08] They believed that when the administration changed, that the law changed and policy changed, [33:13] and that there was an open border. [33:15] We heard the sheriffs say it, the governors say it, and the migrants, I suppose, who say it. [33:20] They are going to be welcome under the Biden administration. [33:25] Wait a minute. [33:35] Wait a minute. [33:42] I'm not happy right now. [33:43] Getting a little bit thin up there. [33:49] I'm not happy. [33:50] This is not good news. [33:55] Now I'm depressed. [33:56] I said, I look really sharp tonight. [34:00] Then I just looked at myself from the back. [34:02] This is not good. [34:03] What didn't you tell me? [34:08] What didn't you tell me? [34:13] But you just saw that video, and if Telefrico and the Democrats back in, it's going to all be [34:20] again. [34:20] You're going to have people, people pouring through. [34:23] You know, I watched a television interview the other day about people that live on the border, [34:28] and a woman was great. [34:30] They're all great. [34:30] But this one woman just said, she said, when Biden was here, and the Democrats, [34:36] your great border czar who never showed up to the border. [34:39] We have all and all of the border people here tonight, great people. [34:43] I dealt with them on a daily basis. [34:45] When Biden was here, when Biden and Kamala, Kamala was in charge, she was the border czar. [35:02] Remember, she was the border czar who never called one time. [35:05] She said, never once did she call, and they confirmed it. [35:07] Never once did she call border patrol, and never once did she come to the border. [35:12] Other than that, I thought she did a very good job. [35:14] It was a disaster. [35:16] It was a disaster. [35:19] But they interviewed a woman, and a beautiful woman lived on a house near the border, and [35:25] she said it was living in hell. [35:27] She feared for her life. [35:28] People were running through her backyard, knocking on her door. [35:31] Rough people, not people like the fine people in this audience. [35:35] These are rough, rough, rough, rough, rough people. [35:39] And they said, what was the difference? [35:41] She said, the difference was like living in a different world. [35:45] He said, we feared for our life. [35:47] We had our doors locked, our windows locked. [35:49] We were petrified. [35:50] We sat there with guns on our lap. [35:52] We didn't know what was going to happen. [35:54] And with President Trump, for the last almost year and a half, [35:58] we have not seen one person walking across our farm, walking across our land, right? [36:10] And frankly, the only thing standing between you and the migrant conquest, [36:15] the invasion that you had just two years ago, for four years you suffered, [36:21] the only thing you have to stop that is a guy named Ken Paxton, a Republican that loves you, [36:29] and a President named Donald J. Trump. [36:34] Because we will not allow our country, our culture, our history, and our heritage to be looted [36:44] and plundered anymore, what they did to this country. [36:49] I said the other day, if Kamala won, or if that ideology won, forget about Kamala, [36:54] if that ideology won, I don't believe we'd have a country anymore. [36:58] I don't believe it. [36:59] And now, we have the hottest country anywhere in the world. [37:10] And I will let, thank you very much, thank you. [37:18] And I will not let my legacy of having the highest vote in the history of Texas be tarnished or destroyed [37:27] by allowing that travesty to happen again. [37:32] And you know, if they get in, if they get in, and remember, like a guy like Tyler Frick, [37:38] it's basically one vote. [37:39] It's so important. [37:40] Forget about, for Texas, it's still just one vote. [37:43] It's a killer in Congress, because we have a very close majority. [37:47] We can't let that happen. [37:49] If they get in, they will open your borders and let the entire world pour into our country like they did before, [37:56] and we can't let that happen. [37:58] We're not going to let it happen again. [38:01] Here today is a woman, a special woman, who knows firsthand the cost of the Democrats' [38:06] open border betrayal policy, and it's really a betrayal. [38:11] Marie Vega was the proud mother of marine veteran and border patrol agent, [38:17] as somebody who was unbelievable, respected by everybody, Harvey Vega Jr. [38:23] One afternoon in South Texas, two illegal aliens let in by the Democrats, just let in for no reason, [38:30] no check-in, no nothing. Ambushed Marie and her family at their home, [38:36] began shooting wildly and trying to ransack their farm, stealing everything in sight. [38:42] Harvey grabbed his rifle and returned fire, but tragically, he was murdered by those animals. [38:47] We're not going to let that happen again. [38:49] Marie, could you come up? Just pay homage, love, and respect to your boy. Thank you. [38:55] So, I'm not very good at speaking off the cuff, so I have written something, [39:29] and because I just turned 65 and retired, Maya . [39:36] So, if I were you, I wouldn't worry about your thinning hair. You're still handsome. [39:41] Hey, my fellow Texans! [39:52] Thank you and welcome to Texas President Donald J. Trump. [40:03] Thank you for bringing our stories to the forefront. [40:10] Thank you for supporting Angel families. [40:12] And thank you for supporting our wonderful border patrol and ICE and letting them do their job. [40:19] No longer have their hands tied behind their backs like they did with Biden. [40:27] Texans, doesn't the atmosphere feel so much better when the President of the United States visits Texas? [40:36] The President stated, my name is Maria Herrera Vega, and I am an angel mom. [40:53] Angel mom. A title I didn't ask for, and if I could go back in time, I would do so in a heartbeat. [41:01] I'd go back to change what transpired on Sunday, August the 3rd, 2014. [41:07] That day, I lost my firstborn, the oldest of my two pride and joys, one of my two marines, [41:17] my border patrol agent son, Javier Harvey Vega Jr. [41:22] For those of you that don't know our story, it was a Sunday, and we had a full day planned with [41:36] shopping, rifle sighting, and preparation of hunting season. Some quality family time, barbecuing, [41:44] and to end the day, some fresh water fishing at our favorite fishing spot in Santa Monica, Texas. [41:52] Everything was going perfect until two career criminal illegal aliens decided to ambush us. [42:01] In an attempt to steal two four-wheel drive trucks, [42:05] and without warning, they jumped out of the stolen vehicle they were driving, [42:11] and without warning, they shot at us, killing my Harvey as he so desperately tried to protect us. [42:18] They shot my husband in the back and continued shooting at everyone there, [42:23] including my two little grandsons and their friend. [42:27] In an attempt to protect our family, I picked up the AR that Harvey had reached for, [42:34] that Harvey had reached for before getting shot in the chest, and I returned fire. [42:59] And my husband, Javier, returned fire with his .45. Had we not been able to exercise our Second [43:21] Amendment right to keep and bear arms, none of us would be alive today, and I would not be standing [43:34] here before you. Because those two scumbags would have killed everyone there, including women and [43:41] children, to eliminate any witness. Thank you. No one understands the impact that we face when we lose a [43:55] child until you lose a child. It's the midterms, and your vote is needed to stop the nonsense at the [44:04] border. Read my lips. The border is closed. Follow the necessary steps to come to America. Immigration [44:32] laws need to be enforced. Democrats will not enforce those laws. Democrats choose to disregard immigration [44:41] laws, and they will continue to do so if we allow them to run this country. We have a right to keep [44:51] and bear arms. Democrats want to strip us of those rights for their constituents. They work for themselves, [46:07] and in order to do that, they protect illegal aliens. Democrats want to control what we can and cannot do. [46:18] We must change that. Do not use the, ah, it's just one vote. One vote won't make a difference mentality. [46:27] Think about it. That mentality will cost us because those uncast votes will end up in their hands. I'm [46:46] from a little town right by the border, Laferia, Texas, with a population of maybe 7,000 more or less. This [46:59] little town where just about everyone knows each other has lost three young lives. These lives were [47:06] taken by illegal aliens. In 1999, Noemi Dominguez, a teacher, was killed by illegal alien Angel Maturino [47:15] Resendez. Some of you might remember him as a railroad killer. He was finally executed. Yeah! In 2014, [47:32] U.S. Marine and Border Patrol agent Javier Harvey Vega Jr. was killed by a worthless excuse of a human [47:39] being, a career criminal illegal alien, Gustavo Tijerina. Over 12 years later, he still sits on [47:47] death row, and who knows how much longer he'll sit there, exhausting American tax dollars. In 2022, [48:03] Maria Macias, a beautiful mother of three gorgeous daughters, was killed by an illegal alien, Bedein [48:12] Alegria. Alegria left the scene of the crash and is yet to be caught and brought to justice. Yes. [48:21] There is no doubt in my mind that all three young, productive, and outstanding individuals [48:26] of our community would still be here today had our immigration laws been enforced and our borders [48:33] have been secured. We don't have an issue with anyone coming to America, but we do have an issue [48:48] with anyone forcing their way into the greatest country there is. Again, read my lips. Come legally, [49:05] or don't come at all. This man right here is what I voted for. Not once, not twice, but three times. [49:25] And I think many of you did as well. And many of you would keep voting for him if he could run. [49:43] I'm begging you, get out and vote Republican. This is the only way we are going to prevent these [50:13] senseless killings and this invasion. Get out to the rallies and let our Republican candidates know [50:32] what you want. You want law and order to continue. Finally, I'd rather endure the name calling and be [50:45] hated for being a conservative, Republican, God-fearing, law-abiding human being than be a Democrat. [51:01] I leave you with this. A small list of innocent Americans killed by illegal aliens. The list is [51:14] too long, so I've just added a few names. So these are just a few of the names that you need to remember [51:20] when you go vote. Harvey, Javier Harvey Vega Jr., Ruben Morphin, Amanda Bixby, Lacey Ferguson, [51:32] Brandon Mendoza, Ronald Da Silva, Jamie Walden III, Pierce Corcoran. Come on, Texas. Let's get out and vote [51:44] Republican. Now let's make some noise. USA! USA! USA! [52:24] What a great job. That's from the heart. That's from the heart. Thank you, Marie. We love you, [52:31] boy. Thank you, Marie. So many stories like that. So many people would be alive. So many great, [52:41] young, beautiful people. And older people, too. They don't discriminate. They kill old, [52:46] they kill young, they kill them all. But that was beautiful. Thank you, darling. We appreciate it. [52:51] And what Marie is saying is that we're always going to stand with the heroes of law enforcement, [53:00] our Border Patrol and ICE. Where is Paul of Border Patrol? Is he around? Where is Paul? [53:07] Paul, come here a minute, Paul. Just come here. He's such, he's done such a great job. Brandon, [53:13] Paul, he's a real great people. Without them, we're not safe, let me tell you. Without this [53:20] group of people, say a few words. Like I said earlier, 29 years I've been doing this job, [53:35] five presidents. And this is the only one who has followed through and secured the border [53:42] once and for all. And it's going to take every single one of you to make sure that that legacy [53:56] stands of a secure border. And we can only do that with the Republicans seated right here in the front. [54:03] We need to re-elect every single one of these Republicans. We need Ken Paxton. We need Ted Cruz. [54:10] We need every single one of these. And that will guarantee that the Democrats can never destroy [54:16] this country like they did before. This is the greatest president in the history of this country. [54:22] And we need to protect his legacy. And what a job he does too. I know I dealt with him. He was [54:38] incredible. His whole group is incredible. They were unbelievable, the job. Think of it. Nobody, [54:45] nobody, coming through our border illegally. Not one in 17 months. Thank you, Paul. Less than two [54:54] years ago, we inherited the worst border in American history. And today we have the safest border, [55:00] the best border in the history of our country. We've never had anything even. And again, it's hard to [55:09] believe. Zero illegal aliens in 17 months. Who would think that's good? We had 25 million, at least, [55:20] coming through with the Biden administration. On day one, I also signed an emergency executive order [55:27] to terminate the Green News scam. We ended the war on Texas energy, oil and gas, [55:33] and made it the official policy of the United States of America to drill, baby, drill. And Texas, [55:51] as you probably heard, is now producing more oil than at any time in its history. And we're distributing [56:01] that oil all over the world because when that war ends, it's going to be very soon. It's going to [56:05] be very soon. They're, they're a failed nation. They are a failed nation. They got a little spunk left, [56:11] but not much, not much. We, you know, we took out more oil out of the Harmonist Strait the last [56:18] three nights than at any time in the history of the Strait. Took out more oil. And just last week, [56:29] I announced a deal that we reached to build a colossal new natural gas power plant to lower your [56:35] electricity bill. It's going to be the largest anywhere in the world. Less than two years ago, [56:44] the radical left Democrats handed us the dark age of America. It was a dark age. We suffered for four [56:52] years. We suffered, but we quickly turned that into the golden age. We are right now in the golden age of [56:59] America. Our nation is doing better now than ever before. But the fake news media refuses to talk [57:08] about it. Those people right there. And they don't like to report it, but they know what it is. [57:19] Our record setting numbers are unbelievable. So you know what? They won't talk about it. I'll [57:24] do a little bit of it myself. It was just announced that under Republican leadership, [57:29] incomes for hardworking Americans. This is all federal numbers, all done strictly. This isn't by Trump. [57:38] It's not by a Democrat. These are the people that do the numbers, all legit. [57:43] Our income numbers have soared to the highest level per individual ever recorded. That's tough to [57:50] feel. There are right now more Americans working today than at any time in the history of our country. [57:59] More Americans are working right now by far than at any time in the history of our country. And that's [58:10] despite the fact that we cut way back on federal payrolls, where you had 10 people doing the job [58:16] of one person. We took out over a million people. If I wanted to add them back, we have the greatest [58:23] numbers anyone's ever, but we don't want to do that. That's not the way you make America great. [58:27] And those people didn't like me at first, and now they love me because they went out, [58:31] got a private sector job, and they're getting much bigger salaries than they did when they worked [58:37] for the government. So it's a big deal. The poverty rate has just reached its lowest level. So the best [58:46] poverty numbers, lowest level in American history. Think of that. African American poverty, Hispanic [58:53] American poverty, and Native American poverty rates are all at their lowest levels ever recorded. [59:02] And as I said, the stock market has soared to 83 all-time record highs just in a short while since [59:12] the election, a little more than a year and a half ago. And listen to this, exports have soared [59:19] to the highest level in America. In other words, we make a product and sell it to the world. [59:25] Highest level in American history. Remember when the Democrats said, we're not a manufacturing country [59:32] anymore. Less than two years ago, our country was dead. Now we are the hottest country anywhere in [59:40] the world, the most respected country anywhere in the world. In four long years of crooked Joe Biden, [59:51] the Biden administration, one of the most incompetent and corrupt anywhere, they got less [59:57] than $1 trillion of new investments. So think of it. In four years, about half a trillion dollars. [1:00:05] In 15 months, it ended as a 15, new numbers are coming, make it even better. [1:00:12] But in the first 15 months, we did $21 trillion of new investment. We're building plants, factories, [1:00:22] all over the place. All of our pharmaceutical companies are coming back. Eli Lilly, Merck and [1:00:28] Pfizer are all coming back, spending hundreds of billions of dollars on new plant. We're making our [1:00:33] drugs. And now we have a thing called favorite nations where our drug prices are going down 50, [1:00:39] 60, 70 percent. We remember a short while ago, we had the highest drug prices in the entire world. [1:00:48] Now we have the lowest drug prices in the entire world. And Toyota, great company is pouring $3.6 [1:01:00] billion into its manufacturing campus right here in San Antonio, bringing Toyota production out of [1:01:12] Mexico and back to Texas, where it started. Our country is doing so well under Republican leadership [1:01:23] that only I can make this promise to you. And you know what that promise is? And you can count on it. [1:01:30] If Republicans win the House of Representatives in the Senate, if they win the House of Representatives [1:01:37] in the Senate, I'm going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America $5,000. And only [1:01:57] Republicans can do that because the Democrats, they can't do it because we're taking in massive amounts [1:02:04] of money, money like we've never ever seen before in this country through our tariff policy and our [1:02:10] record-setting economic success, numbers that we've never seen. We have more factories being built right [1:02:16] now than at any time in the history of our country. But the Democrats can't match that pledge. They [1:02:27] can't make that pledge because their policies won't allow this to happen. In fact, the opposite. If the [1:02:33] Democrats win, you will have a 1929-style economic depression in our country. That's what's going to [1:02:41] happen, is nobody knows numbers better than me. If the Republicans win, you'll each have $5,000 in your [1:02:49] pocket and economic success for our country like no other country has ever seen before. [1:02:56] And just to prove the point, remember, just recently I gave all members of the United States military [1:03:06] $1,776. And everyone said, oh, that can't be done. And I did it. And by the way, I wanted to give them [1:03:17] a bonus because they've done such a great job. How good did they do with Venezuela? How good are they [1:03:22] doing with Iran? And I said to my people, great people, what can we give them? Sir, [1:03:31] we can do about $1,775. I said, let me get that straight. We're at $1,775. So $1 more at $1,776. [1:03:43] Mr. Controller, can we afford $1 more? Yes, sir, we can. So let's do that. And we're $1,776. [1:03:50] And everybody got it. Everybody said, oh, you'll never be able to do that. We did it. And they got [1:04:02] the money and they've enjoyed the money. I only say one thing on the $5,000. You have to spend the [1:04:07] money in the USA. We're not interested in you traveling abroad. We call it the Trump dividend [1:04:18] is approximately $1 trillion. But we have a record setting $21 trillion that's being invested in the [1:04:24] country. So when you think of it, it's really easily handleable. It is easily handleable. [1:04:30] And it's going to make our people happy. And they deserve because you lived four years of hell [1:04:36] under Biden. And recently, and I think you probably read it today or yesterday in the papers, [1:04:48] my administration also discovered that nearly 1 million families were being defrauded by the last [1:04:54] administration under Obamacare. They used Obamacare, one of the worst health cares ever, by the way. [1:05:02] What happened was that the Democrats overcharged you and we're giving you that money back. We're [1:05:08] giving it back. So, so we just sent out to the victims of this Democrat fraud checks for $500 each, [1:05:19] including 139,000 families from Texas. Pretty good. You'll get the money within two days. [1:05:33] It's another one we did. Everyone said, well, sir, you're not going to be able to do that. I said, [1:05:36] really, give me a shot. I always do what I say. If you look back, promises made, promises kept, [1:05:44] right? And here today is one of those recipients, Brent Gravloff from Georgetown, Texas, a great guy. [1:05:54] You want to come up for a second, Brent? Tell him what happened. Come on up here. Come on up here, [1:06:00] Brent. Oh, he's a good looking guy. Look at this guy. Looks like a movie star. [1:06:05] Hey, y'all. Thanks for having me up here. My name is Brent. I live just north of Boston, [1:06:25] Texas. I'm a small business owner, no wife, no kids, relatively healthy. And this year, [1:06:31] I paid over $15,000 in healthcare costs. My monthly premium tripled ever since Obamacare. [1:06:38] And with the extremely high annual deductible, virtually everything I pay is out of pocket. [1:06:44] I did, however, notice the cost of my prescriptions dropped substantially, which was awesome, [1:06:49] just like President Trump just talked about. So last week, I received the $500 surprise on the [1:07:00] mail. It was awesome. I could use that money. Anyone could use 500 bucks at any time, of course. [1:07:06] So the US Treasury, along with a nice letter from President Trump, which really resonated with me, [1:07:11] particularly, I feel like a lot of hard work in Americans over the years have almost been subsidizing [1:07:16] healthcare for others. And it's not really right. We're getting smoked on monthly premiums that are [1:07:22] getting out of control. Friends of mine, family of mine, $400 a month, $500 a month, $600 a month, [1:07:27] $1,000 a month. It's simply unbelievable. And we need to get something changed. [1:07:32] I know President Trump is working on it. And it's just a shame that he always has resistance [1:07:36] from the crazy other side. And we, Lord willing, we could get some bipartisan stuff passed, [1:07:41] you know, in Congress with the Senate and the House. And, you know, everything, [1:07:46] and hopefully everything goes as planned. And we're going to have a giant red wave. So, [1:07:56] President Trump, thank you for everything you've done. President Trump, thank you for everything [1:08:08] you've done for America, everything you continue to do, all the sacrifices you made. I know everyone [1:08:13] in this room and anyone with common sense could see it. You know, you're the best president we've [1:08:18] had in our lifetime. God bless America. Keep Texas red. Thank you, Brett. Wow. What nice people. [1:08:34] We like Texas. Yeah, but we're going to get that for you. Everything I said you're going to get, [1:08:41] you're going to get the 5,000. And you deserve it. Tonight, I have more breaking news. Our [1:08:46] administration has also located billions and billions of dollars that were so supposed to be [1:08:53] spent on improving Medicare, which it didn't get approved, but they never were. And it never got [1:08:59] spent. So they tried to hide it. And by hiding it, they tried to make their numbers look better, [1:09:05] which was impossible because the numbers are so bad. And we're giving that money back to American [1:09:10] seniors, as I promised. And I'm pleased to announce that starting tomorrow, over 20 million seniors on [1:09:21] Medicare will receive checks or deposits for over $100 each, including over 1.4 million seniors here in [1:09:30] Texas. 1.4 million. That's a lot of seniors in Texas. 1.4 million seniors here in Texas. [1:09:36] So, I mean, these are just small things compared to what we're doing. What we're doing is the [1:09:46] greatest tax cuts in history, the best economy in history, more money coming into our country in [1:09:51] history. But just think of what we've accomplished in much less than two years. I mean, this is done in [1:09:57] two years. Remember 21 trillion versus a half a trillion. That was four years. Ours is 1.5 or [1:10:04] basically 15 months to be exact. Think of that. So the numbers many, many, many, many times together, [1:10:13] we achieved the largest drop in violent crime ever recorded, despite the people coming in that we [1:10:19] didn't want. And again, despite the invasion of our country. And remember, we got most of those [1:10:27] hardcore criminals out. We got them out. We're not nice about it either. The murder rate is at the [1:10:32] lowest level. It's been in 125 years since 1900. Lowest murder rate. I wish we could have helped [1:10:45] Marie and the others, that I tell you. I wish we could have. They came in through the Biden. [1:10:50] They came in through the open borders of Biden and Obama. Thanks to our Republican majorities, [1:10:59] I signed the great, big, beautiful bill delivering the largest tax cuts in American history. We gave you [1:11:06] no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and no tax on social security for our great seniors. And we added, [1:11:22] if we, if you have, like you buy a car and you want to borrow the money, you have interest on car [1:11:28] loans is fully tax deductible, but only if the car is made in America, right? Gotta be made in America. [1:11:37] And we abolished all discriminatory diversity, equity and inclusion policies throughout the federal [1:11:43] government and all in education. We got critical race theory and transgender insanity, the mutilization [1:11:50] of your children out. We renamed the Gulf of Mexico into the Gulf of America. And thanks to our [1:12:05] Republican Congress, we delivered the largest ever investment in the United States Armed Forces, [1:12:11] over $1 trillion made. First time we've ever done that. All, it's all made in the USA. We only buy USA, [1:12:19] so it was a big thing. Thank you, fellas. We captured the outlaw dictator of Venezuela, [1:12:26] Nicolas Maduro and won that war. We won that war with no death. None of our people, nobody died. We [1:12:34] had the helicopter pilot, the big, handsome helicopter pilot. The leg was in bad shape, [1:12:40] but we did that with no death. Think of that. It was a violent, incredible, beautiful raid that was [1:12:50] perfect. Not like past administrations where they have helicopters bumping into each other, [1:12:56] prisoners, soldiers become hostages. You remember, I don't want to say who, but plenty of them. We know [1:13:03] what we're doing. We won Venezuela in one hour and 48 minutes. And we decimated the drug cartels and [1:13:17] drugs coming in by ocean and sea are down by 97 percent. Boom, boom. And we're trying to find the three [1:13:33] percent that are still doing it because we consider them to be among the bravest people in the world. [1:13:40] And just as I promised, I am ensuring that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. Never. They know [1:13:51] that. They know that. And we'll be out of there soon. And you watch those oil prices come down like a [1:14:00] rock and watch everything. Everything else is coming down. Oil is coming down. You know, [1:14:04] we pay less than oil and we did that whole thing with because that was a big operation that should [1:14:10] have been done by past presidents for many years. It should have been done. But nobody wanted to take [1:14:14] it on. We had no choice because we can't let them have a nuclear weapon. And I'll tell you what, [1:14:19] oil a little more, maybe more than a little bit. A lot of people thought it'd be three, [1:14:25] four or five times that. When I went in, I thought it could be much higher than that. [1:14:29] But we are paying less than under the Biden administration. He didn't do anything. [1:14:34] He gave you the highest inflation in history. He didn't do anything. But you want to see trauma. [1:14:40] You want to see problems. And I said it the other day, let them hit a missile into San Diego or Los [1:14:46] Angeles on the way. Let them hit. You want to see a horror show. You want to see problems. Let them hit [1:14:53] San Diego. Let them hit Los Angeles. And you want to see some bad things happen. You want to see a country [1:14:59] that would be in free fall. We're not going to let that happen. We protect our cities. We protect [1:15:04] our country. We're not letting that happen. And they'd use it too. They'd use it. They would use it. [1:15:16] We also recently announced that we're going to deliver final justice to an evil killer, [1:15:23] the Fort Hood shooter, Nidel Hassan, who murdered 14 innocent souls and wounded dozens more here in Texas, [1:15:35] yelling, Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar, while he was doing it. And we just found out that President Obama [1:15:46] had the emails from Hassan to a known terrorist murderer, well known, saying he was going to wage [1:15:55] jihad against his fellow soldiers. But Obama and his group did nothing about it. This was before they were [1:16:01] killed. So he's getting the death penalty by firing squad. And by the way, Telefrico opposes that. [1:16:21] And he also because Marie, she brought something up. He wants to take away your second amendment. He [1:16:28] wants to take away. You're right. And think of think of people talking about sitting in their homes with a [1:16:36] gun on their lap, being petrified that somebody is going to break into the house. And at least they have [1:16:41] some form of safety. He wants to take away and destroy your second amendment. And I fought for [1:16:46] your second amendment for years and not a thing has happened. And that has not been an easy fight. [1:16:54] And now I'm going to have the man. Now I'm going to have the man that fought harder maybe than anybody. [1:16:59] I know Ted Cruz is one of them, but Ken Paxton is the other. Those two guys, Ken Paxton, Ted, [1:17:19] and you know who else I'm seeing? This guy is a fighter and he wants no credit. He wants no nothing. [1:17:26] Dan Patrick, your lieutenant governor, is unbelievable. Thank you, Ben. Thank you. [1:17:35] And all of you great congressmen who I'm going to introduce in a minute. [1:17:38] But you guys were amazing. Thank you very much. They protect your second amendment. [1:17:42] As long as we're around, I promise you, nothing's going to happen with your second amendment. [1:17:48] But Telefrico is a vote on the other side. He wants to terminate. He wants to end. [1:17:53] Not going to happen. Not going to happen. We won't allow it to happen. Thank you, fellas. Great. [1:17:57] They did a great job. How many lawsuits did you wage on second amendment, Ken? Like 30 or something. [1:18:04] He would sue every day over the second amendment. They wanted to take it away for a long time. [1:18:08] That has been a tough fight. But we're keeping your second amendment. We didn't do a thing. [1:18:13] We just literally, we're keeping it. We didn't shrivel it up a little bit. They said, [1:18:19] how about if we do this? How about if we do that? How about no AK-47? How about no this? [1:18:24] How about I said, no, thank you. No, thank you. So good fight, fellas. Good. [1:18:29] We achieved more in two years than any other presidency in the history of our country. [1:18:34] But now the radical left Democrats want to tear it all down. They want to burn it down. [1:18:39] They want to pretend like it never happened. Every single Democrat in Congress [1:18:44] voted against our record tax cut. They voted against our no tax on tips. They voted against [1:18:50] no tax on overtime. They voted against no tax on social security for our great city. Can you imagine? [1:18:57] They voted against voter identification, voter ID. Every one of them. They voted against [1:19:06] proof of citizenship. Uh, excuse me, are you a citizen of the United States? We don't want them [1:19:12] to ask that question, they say. They voted against proof of citizenship. And he is the lead. He's strong. [1:19:19] You go back a year ago. That's all he talked about. Destroying your second amendment, voting against [1:19:26] voter ID. I think he said it was discriminatory or something. You know, they couldn't, they asked him [1:19:30] a question. You have to see this one clip. Why would you be against voter ID? Well, let's see. Um, [1:19:38] it's, uh, discriminatory. That's right. It's discriminatory. These people have the greatest line [1:19:44] of bullshit I've ever heard in my life. They voted against, he voted against, but they voted against [1:19:58] and he fought for like as much as he can fight in his other position, which wasn't too high. He voted [1:20:04] in favor of open borders. He voted in favor of the transgender mutilization of your children. By the way, [1:20:13] he's going back to it. Telefrico voted in favor of men playing in women's sports. I don't know. [1:20:19] I looked at Roger. Roger's a massive guy. He was one of the greats. Do you think you'd be afraid [1:20:27] of women playing? I don't think so. I don't think so. And it's actually very demeaning to women, [1:20:32] very unfair, very demeaning, very stupid. I just hope they continue that policy because I don't [1:20:37] believe they're going to be able to win an election. Men playing in women's sports. On election night, [1:20:42] Texas is going to prove that America does not belong to those who hate it. America belongs to those [1:20:49] who love it. And James Salafrico, wherever he may be, we're looking for the guy. It's been two weeks. [1:21:04] Where the hell is he? What? Does anybody know where he might be? He hates Texas values. He describes [1:21:14] himself as a Christian who hates Christianity. That's nice. Says that God is transgender, [1:21:20] calls the American flag a complicated symbol probably of hate. He stated that he wants to dismantle [1:21:28] capitalism, claim that the Ten Commandments are a form of fascism. And when asked what he loved [1:21:34] most in the world, he said transgender children, which is a little different. It's a little different, [1:21:45] you have to say. But we can't play games with different, can we? We want good old-fashioned Texas values. [1:21:59] So with that in mind, you wouldn't trust him to look after your child. And you certainly cannot trust [1:22:04] him to represent your state, the greatest state, one of the truly incredible. In history, [1:22:09] there's never been anything like Texas. Ken Paxton has won victory after victory for the people of [1:22:16] Texas. And by the way, with the voters, he's won victory after victory. He's been through the whole [1:22:23] gamut. And I'll be honest, he's been treated really, really unfairly by the fake news. He's been treated. [1:22:30] I hope you don't mind my getting off script. I've basically been off script for the entire night. [1:22:40] But he has been treated very unfairly, the guy. When are they going to say he's the greatest [1:22:49] attorney general in the history of your state? But the greatest, maybe, I got to say because [1:22:53] we have a couple of good ones, Ken, but maybe the greatest attorney general in the entire United [1:22:58] States. When are they going to say that? When are they going to say it? They don't want to say it. [1:23:02] And getting back to the teleprompter, isn't it nice to have a president that doesn't have to read [1:23:10] a teleprompter? You know, you know, we have crowds of the miles. Look at this place every [1:23:18] corner. They'll say they spotted an empty seat. You know, there are lines that are two miles long [1:23:24] outside. They can't get in. We have nice big jumbotrons. But but I tell people, please, [1:23:30] please do not leave. Do not go to the bathroom because the fake news will take a picture of two [1:23:35] empty seats. And they'll say Trump did not fill up. Who the hell fills up an arena like this [1:23:42] for a midterm or a midterm. And what they do is in the upper roads, you'll see it. [1:23:56] They sort of migrate downward. And they all stay here by the time we max out every thing that you've [1:24:03] ever seen. There's never been anything like it. We have all created together, you more than me, [1:24:08] the greatest political movement in the history of our country. I mean, we have as an example, [1:24:22] a man in front of me, Mr. Wall. He's come to 619 rallies. And he's actually a brilliant man. They [1:24:33] tell me he's brilliant. I say, what the hell is the story with that guy? They say he's a brilliant [1:24:38] guy. And he is. He looks brilliant. But he's just sort of like has a good time, right? We have a good [1:24:42] time. We have a good time talking about great subjects and bad subjects. But we have to have a [1:24:47] good time because we have to get the job done. We're going to get the job done like never before. And [1:24:52] I appreciate you. And someday I'm going to go out, find out where he gets that crazy suit, [1:24:56] all bricks. It's all bricks. And I'm going to wear it up here one day. So Ken Paxson has one other [1:25:14] thing that I love. He sued the Biden administration over 100 times, and he won almost every instance, [1:25:21] almost every lawsuit. And I love that, Ken. He sued Medicare fraudsters and got back over a billion [1:25:28] dollars for Texas taxpayers. He sued to stop the radical left from mutilating Texas children, [1:25:37] and he won. And Ken, I know Ken spoke before. I watched his speech coming in Air Force One. [1:25:45] It was actually a very good speech. But I'm going to ask Ken to come up just there for one minute [1:25:50] and say hello, because I'm very proud of him. And I think he's going to be an unbelievable [1:25:56] senator. Thank you. Come up, Ken, please. Wow. What is it like to be up on stage with the [1:26:09] president of the United States? Pretty amazing. I am so grateful that you're here, and I'm so [1:26:17] grateful that he here. Aren't you guys glad he came to San Antonio? The thing I love about President [1:26:28] Trump is he's here for us. He's here for Texas. He's here for America. He believes in this country. [1:26:36] He's out fighting every day. Mr. President, how many days are you traveling this month around the [1:26:40] country? Every single day, he's out fighting for us. How many presidents have we had that is doing what [1:26:54] he is doing for us? So, Mr. President, I want to thank you for coming for me, for coming for us, [1:27:00] and for coming for Texas. We are going to win this race. God bless you. [1:27:03] He's great. What a good guy. He's also a good guy. [1:27:14] So you also need to elect a proud 20-year Air Force veteran to Congress, Carlos de la Cruz, [1:27:23] who's fantastic. Carlos is running against a disastrous Democrat named Johnny Garcia, [1:27:33] who votes to make Texas poorer. He's a disaster. So I'm going to ask Carlos, come on up here for a [1:27:38] second, Carlos. We got to get him elected. Well, first off, thank you, Mr. President. [1:27:59] It's a true honor for you to be here with us tonight. I first want to say thank you to our [1:28:05] Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank him for looking over our country and looking over our troops. [1:28:23] And listen, I would be crushed under the weight of this campaign if I didn't have my wife on my side. [1:28:29] So I just want to say I love you, Annette. Thank you so very much for being with me. [1:28:36] And many of you all may not know this, but the single biggest reason I decided to jump [1:28:41] into this race in the first place was because of my teenage daughter, Rebecca. [1:28:46] I want to make sure that her and her entire generation inherit a country that is safe, [1:28:53] a country that is strong, and an America with full of opportunity if you are willing to go out there [1:29:01] and work for it. Now, I want to make sure that I'm going to work with this administration, [1:29:13] our president, to bring resources back to our community. And that's going to mean making sure [1:29:18] that we protect our veterans, making sure that we protect our seniors and their Medicare and Social [1:29:28] Security, and making sure that we're protecting the men and women, the working-class families who are [1:29:37] chasing the American dream. So I'm going to ask you to get out there and vote, bring three friends [1:29:46] with you. God bless you. God bless America. Thank you very much. Have a wonderful night. [1:29:51] Thank you very much. We also need to get out and vote for the chairman of this campaign [1:30:17] that I have had for a long time now. He's been the best chairman you can imagine. He's also been [1:30:23] the best lieutenant governor you could ever have, Dan Patrick. Go out and vote for Dan Patrick. Thank [1:30:28] you, Dan. Great job. And a man who just had an incredible win. He was against a very good opponent, [1:30:36] very talented, smart opponent, Attorney General Mays Middleton. Thank you. Great job. And we have [1:30:47] warriors with us tonight. We have a lot of your congressmen, Randy Weber, Michael Cloud, August [1:30:54] Pflueger, and Nathaniel Moran. Thank you very much, boy. What a good group. Warriors. And candidates [1:31:04] for Congress, Chris Gober and Brandon Herrera. All good. They all should do well. I hear they're [1:31:16] doing very well in the polls. I hope so. You better win. You better win. But they're great. Every one of [1:31:21] them is a star. They're going to help us a lot. But I'm going to give you a little personal story on [1:31:26] the next one. Tano. Tano. Do you know who Tano is? Tano Teherina. Tano Teherina is in the 28th [1:31:37] Congressional District. And out of love and passion, he's running against a Democrat [1:31:43] named Henry Cuellar, who I helped, who, along with Henry Cuellar's wife, I gave a full pardon to [1:31:54] at the request of his two daughters, because they said, please don't let them take my mother and father [1:32:01] away. I received a letter from the two young daughters. They were going to go to jail for a [1:32:08] long period of time, 15 to maybe 20 years. And he's a congressman. By the way, his brother was [1:32:14] just indicted on virtually the same thing. The brother was just indicted on the same charges, [1:32:22] which was very serious. But I read these letters from the daughters, and I thought it was very nice. [1:32:27] He's a Democrat, not a Republican. In any event, I did the pardons. I gave him pardons. I felt so badly for [1:32:33] the family. It's the greatest power a president has, they say. I've heard it for years, the power [1:32:38] of pardons. Because you can create a lot of wonderful things. You gave him back to the family. [1:32:44] I gave him, and the mother, both of them were going to go to jail for a long time. And I made no deal. [1:32:51] I didn't say, oh, I'll give you the pardons if you turn Republican. I didn't say that. No, [1:32:56] I could have done that very easily. But where a crooked politician would have done that, [1:33:01] but I thought there would be a good chance that Cuellar might say, wow, he did something really [1:33:07] wonderful for me. You know, somebody has a heart. And he was persecuted by Democrats. They went after [1:33:14] him like he was the enemy. They didn't like him. Nobody likes him. But they didn't like him at all. [1:33:21] And he would have routinely gone over to the Republican Party if we asked. The people that [1:33:28] saved him from years in prison was basically me. I said, I'm going to give him a pardon. [1:33:33] Because of the daughters, they wrote the most beautiful letter. But shockingly, after the [1:33:38] pardon was given and he and the wife were freed up, no more court cases. The brother, I won't be [1:33:45] doing, by the way, I won't be doing the brother. It runs in the family, I guess, right? Cuellar announced [1:33:52] only a few days later that he was going to stay and remain in the Democrat Party, the people that [1:33:59] persecuted him. So many considered this to be a tremendous act of disloyalty and certainly showed [1:34:07] him to be an extremely ungrateful kind of a person. I mean, you know, I saved him from going to jail [1:34:12] for like, I think, 15 or 20 years. They were talking about 20 years in jail. His wife was going with [1:34:19] him, as I heard, wanted him to turn to the man and the party that helped him. But he wouldn't do it. [1:34:26] He was afraid to do it, I think, because they're vicious, the Democrats are. And now they'll have [1:34:32] another chance to put him in jail again, I guess, if they win. Maybe that's the only good thing about [1:34:36] them winning. In any event, the man running against him is Tano Tahina. He's a star, and hopefully he's [1:34:46] going to win. And we'll call that payback for a disloyal and ungrateful person, a person whose life [1:34:51] has been saved only to go back into the clutches of the people that tried to destroy him. So Henry [1:34:59] Cuellar is a guy who is considered lowlife in Congress, not respected, and right now should be [1:35:07] serving a long-term prison sentence with his wife in a top-level penitentiary. But Tano, a legendary [1:35:16] baseball star, great athlete, respected county judge and fine person, will hopefully beat Cuellar so [1:35:23] that people can show how bad it is when you're recognized and humiliated as being one of the [1:35:31] most disloyal political people on Earth. And this has happened. I like to talk about loyalty. To me, [1:35:38] I think loyalty — now, I don't know him. I don't know if I ever met him. I just felt very badly for [1:35:42] these two young girls. But I thought it was rather incredible. I guess I expected maybe he wouldn't [1:35:49] run, or maybe he'd run, maybe as a Republican. I don't know. We didn't want to get involved when we [1:35:55] could have. But I only wish that Henry Cuellar's daughters, who begged for his survival, would have [1:36:02] used the same level of charm to convince their mother and father to do the right thing. So I'm very [1:36:08] proud of the fact that I didn't make a deal with — I actually got such great publicity. Everybody, [1:36:16] even the fake news, the fakers back there, they said, well, say what you want. He was pretty damn [1:36:20] honest. He gave them a pardon. He didn't make a deal. Isn't that nice? I mean, I actually got very [1:36:25] good publicity to that, Mr. Lieutenant Governor. Can you believe it? They thought it was such a nice [1:36:30] thing to do. But I could easily have done it, but relied on his character, which turned out to be [1:36:37] a faulty one. But that's okay. So go out and vote for Tano Trujillo, on the other hand, because he [1:36:47] loves Laredo. He loves all of South Texas. But most importantly, Tano loves the United States of [1:36:56] America, and he'll be a great congressman. When you vote for him, it's going to be a show to people [1:37:05] that disloyalty and sort of, I don't know, maybe he was afraid. He was frightened. It was pretty bad stuff. [1:37:13] But we're going to be voting for Tano, and we're going to show the world that loyalty does [1:37:18] matter. Loyalty does matter. So also with us tonight is a friend of mine. And we started off [1:37:28] as being friends, and we were really close, and the press used to say, well, one of you two guys [1:37:32] is going to fight. I said, don't worry, it'll happen. And when it happened, it really happened. [1:37:37] Right, Ted? But Ted Cruz has been, we had just that little moment. But Ted Cruz is a very special, [1:37:44] he's a very special guy. So ladies and gentlemen, Senator Ted Cruz. Thank you, Ted. [1:37:55] Also with us is a great negotiator. He's done some phenomenal things. He got back all of the [1:38:00] hostages in Israel. He has made a deal with Hamas. I mean, all of a sudden, everything's quiet. [1:38:06] He's working on the Iran deal and doing very well. I think the deal isn't really something that I want [1:38:12] to do, but they're willing to offer us anything to stop. And we definitely, they will never have [1:38:17] a nuclear weapon. But he's a great negotiator. He's also a great person. And I really chose him [1:38:22] for both qualities. Everybody loves Steve Witkoff. He's doing a fantastic job. Thank you. Thank you. [1:38:33] A man who's respected by everybody, Texas Railroad Commissioner, Wayne Christian. Wayne? [1:38:42] Thank you, Wayne. Great guy. Texas GOP Chair, Dorinda Randall. Thank you. What a good job. Well, [1:38:55] I can't complain. We're 6-0, including primaries. A big music star, country singer, Neil McCoy. Thank you, [1:39:04] dear. And former president of Goya. Goya. Bob Yunanwe. Bob, thank you. Where's Bob? And Bob is [1:39:19] going to be presented with something in the not too distant future, which will be one of the [1:39:24] greatest honors of his life. He's been with us and he represents the Hispanic community. And, [1:39:29] you know, he had great courage early on when it wasn't fashionable. He came out as a Hispanic and a very [1:39:36] good owner. He owns Goya. I like it. I like Goya. I will get Goya whenever I can. I like Goya. It's [1:39:42] good. But he, I thought he was going to lose his business because the radical left went after him. [1:39:49] Don't buy his product. Don't buy. And the opposite happened. He sold so much product he couldn't produce [1:39:55] it. Right? I made him rich. I made Bob even richer. No, they would say, don't buy his product. You know, [1:40:05] they want to always boycott somebody if they're people with common sense. If they, [1:40:11] if they love America, they want to boycott you. Can you believe it? But he loves America. And he [1:40:16] likes me, I guess, because he came out right at the beginning and they wanted us. They wanted [1:40:21] everybody to boycott. He just literally, he tripled, quadrupled his sales. His company is much bigger, [1:40:25] stronger. And we love it. And we love you. Thank you. And here's a special little treat. And to me, [1:40:33] it's an easy one. There's a man named Roger Clemens, that big, strong guy. And he wanted to [1:40:43] play golf with me for years. We talked about it. We'll play. We won't, you know, sometimes tough. [1:40:48] He lives here. I live in a different part of the world, commonly known as the Oval Office. But he [1:40:54] wanted to play. And one day we got to play and he played with his son, a fantastic young guy, [1:40:59] handsome guy. But Roger, she just said, who won? Wise guy. You got to be a wise guy. Only in Texas could this [1:41:07] happen. But I stand on the first tee with Roger, finally, after years of sort of wanting to get [1:41:13] together. He liked my stuff and I like his fastball, frankly. But I stood on the tee and I said, [1:41:21] Roger, let me ask you, how many games have you won? Now, I play with a lot of baseball players. [1:41:28] I like golf. It's my only form of exercise. That's about it. That's good. My knees are fine. My back, [1:41:34] all these guys, they work out all the time. And then you find that they're 65 years old. They're [1:41:38] having a new back put in, new shoulders, new knees. So I don't know. I sort of like the way [1:41:44] I'm doing it. But I said, Roger, how many games did you win? You did very well, didn't you? Because [1:41:49] I play with guys that won 60, 70 games and they're well-known stars. Yes, sir. I won 354 games. 354. [1:41:57] I said, did you ever win the Cy Young Award? That's the best pitcher in baseball. Yes, sir. I won it [1:42:05] seven times. You won it seven times, Roger. You got to be kidding. That's the most in the history of [1:42:11] baseball. He had 4,672 career strikeouts, which is second or third in the history of baseball. [1:42:21] He won two World Series. He was MVP. And he's also the only pitcher in the history of Major League [1:42:27] Baseball to have multiple 20 strikeout games. Did you ever see it? I saw one 20 strikeout. I couldn't [1:42:34] believe it. That means you strike out almost every player. I mean, it's crazy. He should be in the [1:42:40] Hall of Fame. Now, I said, why aren't you in the Hall of Fame? I said, I actually said it a little [1:42:46] innocently. I said, Roger, when did you go to the Hall of Fame? Think of it. I play with a guy who won [1:42:51] 101 games. He's a big name. You would have known him. I won't embarrass him because it ain't 354. [1:42:57] But I said, when did you get inducted into the Hall of Fame? He said, I haven't been inducted. I said, [1:43:03] you got to be kidding. Because he's got, certainly he's the greatest modern pitcher. You go back 20, [1:43:10] 30, nobody has anything like this. 350. I'm used to saying, hi, Jim, how many games did you win? [1:43:17] Sir, I won 109. I won 112. And they're stars. This guy says, I won 300. I thought he was kidding. [1:43:26] That's 22 years of winning. I worked hard to get a man named Pete Rose into the Baseball Hall of Fame [1:43:32] before he died. And Pete was sort of a friend of mine, but more than a friend. I used to watch him, [1:43:42] Charlie Hustle. That guy was a great player, right? He had 4,256 hits, a record they say [1:43:51] probably can never be broken, probably can't. And I called the commissioner of baseball. He's a nice [1:43:56] guy. And I said, Commissioner, you got to let this guy in. He's waited for years, like what, [1:44:02] 40 years or something. You got to let him in, Charlie Hustle. And he may be gambling. Today, [1:44:07] you're allowed to gamble in games. How about that? You're allowed to gamble. And poor guy, [1:44:12] bad timing. You know, life is all about timing. But he always bet on his own team. [1:44:18] So I'm not saying right or wrong, but you're betting on your own. Now, if he bets on the [1:44:21] other team, that's not a good thing. But he bet on his own team. He's a highly competitive guy. [1:44:25] I knew him a little bit. He was jolly hustle. So the commissioner told me he was going to do it, [1:44:31] but it took him a long time. He waited and waited. I call him, when are you doing it? Oh, [1:44:37] I'm going to do it. And he announced it right after Pete died. I wasn't thrilled with the [1:44:44] commissioner. And I likewise called up about eight months ago, after I played a round of golf with [1:44:53] Roger. And we had a great time. He's an amazing guy. And I said, I'm going to call the commissioner [1:45:01] of baseball. It's a ridiculous thing that you're not in the Hall of Fame with that kind of a record. [1:45:05] He won seven Cy Young. That means seven years. If you win one, you're a superstar. If you win one, [1:45:13] you go to the Hall of Fame for the most part. You win two, you're guaranteed. He won seven, [1:45:17] and they didn't take him. And by the way, people talk drugs. He never admitted to anything. [1:45:21] They have no information. They didn't find anything. It's not like, oh, geez, load it up. [1:45:26] He never admitted to anything. He's just a physical monster. Okay. He is. He's a big, [1:45:31] strong. And he just, he was great. Now, he did have a couple of problems. He [1:45:38] was known for two things as a pitcher, power and accuracy. I said, then Roger, how come you hit [1:45:46] more batters than any other pitcher in history, which is, he hit more batters than any, and when [1:45:53] he hit you, it hurt. You know, when you have a ball going at 99 miles an hour and it's aimed at your [1:45:58] head. So Roger had some problems. And he told me part of the difficulty is the people that are on the [1:46:03] board were people that he played against. And sir, they all hate me because he's the most, [1:46:08] we want competitive guys. So tonight, I'm pleased to announce that we are taking it into [1:46:15] our own hands. Forget about the Hall of Fame. He'll get there someday. I mean, [1:46:20] I don't know how they can keep him out. I don't know how the hell they keep him out. [1:46:24] But tonight, I'm announcing that Roger Clemens is being given the single highest award, [1:46:30] along with the Medal of Honor, the Congressional Medal of Honor. That's for military, this is for [1:46:37] civilian. We're giving him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. And along with the Congressional Medal [1:46:46] of Honor, it's the highest award bestowed upon anyone. And Roger, get up here, Roger. Get up here. [1:46:58] So he'll be in the Hall of Fame someday, but he deserves it. One of the greatest athletes, [1:47:04] and maybe the greatest pitcher of all time. And he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. But this is [1:47:10] a big step up from the Hall of Fame, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Thank you. Well, I'm stunned, [1:47:28] number one. And again, 24 years, y'all, this supersedes anything that obviously I've done in my playing [1:47:37] career. And to get it from this man, this president, there wouldn't be another president I'd want to get [1:47:42] it from. And announcing it here in my home state. And again, from this man, you're talking about a winner. [1:47:55] That's a winner right there. You see it. And the way he talked about all my stats, he could be my agent. [1:48:04] I guess I could come out of retirement again, all those stats he wrote. But I don't think that I lead [1:48:10] Major League Baseball and hit batters, Mr. President. I don't think. And besides that, when you let it go inside, [1:48:15] it's the hitter's job to get out of the way, right? Okay. I can't thank you enough. That's a huge honor. [1:48:21] I am stunned. And again, thank you all very much. So just to finish up, the fake news media is trying [1:48:37] to demoralize Republican voters with bad journalism and rigged polls, all sorts of things. But as you can [1:48:44] see here tonight, look, you have thousands of people outside. As you can see, those big jumbotrons are [1:48:50] working full speed. But as you can see, this movement is maybe stronger than ever. And now [1:48:55] what we have to do is come out and vote. We're going to show you a chart that just came up from CNN. [1:49:01] Just look at this. Can you believe that CNN did that? Whoever did that chart is going to get fired [1:49:21] tomorrow, Gary. So we're at 98, 99 percent. We're getting approval numbers that are phenomenal. The real [1:49:30] numbers are phenomenal. If we ran against any of their candidates, we'd win by 25, 30 points. They don't [1:49:37] have any candidates. Their candidates are terrible. But we have a different thing tonight. We have to [1:49:42] get our candidates elected in Texas. That's more important. And we're going to be able to do that. [1:49:51] I just want to say this. This has been a very, very special place to me. I believe. [1:49:58] Thank you. Thank you. Should I put up the second chart? Go ahead. Put it up. [1:50:13] Look at that. MAGA GOP on Trump. In the 2024 election versus [1:50:24] Donald Harris, he got 99 percent of the MAGA GOP vote. [1:50:28] Well, surprisingly, it might have thought it'd be 100 percent, but it was 99 percent. [1:50:32] Prepare that to his approval rating now at the MAGA GOP. It's 98 percent. That is, there's been no real decline in MAGA support. [1:50:40] These folks say that they're going to vote for congressional Republicans come the midterm election. [1:50:45] Again, that's the 99 percent that Trump got against Barack Obama. Look now. In terms of the congressional [1:50:50] order, 98 percent of them say that they're going to vote for congressional candidates. So that support [1:50:55] is really holding up strong. It's really, really strong when it comes to MAGA GOP and Republicans [1:51:02] holding on to that vote. The president of Republicans most admired is Donald Trump. This is a historic [1:51:10] comparison. A majority of Republicans say, 15 percent say, he's the Republican country the most [1:51:15] president of all time. While Reagan, who traditionally has won that, Donald Trump nearly trickles up on [1:51:21] this. Reagan is just 18 percent. And then Abraham Lincoln, who, by most historic accounts, is the [1:51:26] greatest president of all time. But Republicans say that the president that they most admire by, [1:51:32] what is this? This is six, seven times as many. Donald John Trump at 53 percent. [1:51:37] Thank you. Whoa. I didn't see that. Thank you very much. Well, that's it. I mean, that's it. Thank you. [1:52:04] So as just a quick recap, here's what we'll do with your support for a Republican House and a Republican [1:52:13] Senate. Vote for Ken. Get him in there. It's so important. It's vital. And I think you will. I think [1:52:19] it's there's no way you vote for the other guy. There's no way. As I said, I will issue a Trump [1:52:25] dividend of $5,000 to every adult citizen. We will make all Trump tax cuts. We're going to make [1:52:33] all of those big tax cuts, including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on social security [1:52:40] for our great cities. We're going to make them all permanent. We will win the war on corruption [1:52:46] and fraud led by our great vice president, J.D. Vance. Doing great. And by the way, in Minnesota [1:52:54] and all over the country, we're finding tens of billions of dollars. It's so corrupt. We will pass [1:53:01] the no invasion of our country act, prohibiting any future president from ever opening our borders [1:53:08] to illegal immigrants. And we will pass a truly great health care plan that will stop all payments [1:53:18] to big insurance companies which own the Democrat Party. Everyone, they own the party. The Democrats [1:53:25] won't do anything without those insurance companies. They pay them billions. We will [1:53:30] give all of those billions of dollars directly to you, the people, so you can buy your own health care, [1:53:36] which is better health care, and have money left over for yourselves. We will immediately end no [1:53:45] cash bail, and we will pass the death penalty of large-scale drug dealers, human traffickers, [1:53:51] and anyone who kills a police officer. Death penalty immediately. And we will pass the Save America [1:54:02] Act to defend our sacred American elections, and that will include mandatory voter ID and proof of [1:54:09] citizenship. And we've already done a lot of it. We're 90 percent of the way there, but we will make [1:54:18] enshrine into permanent law, no men in women's sports, and no transgender mutilization of your [1:54:26] children. We will have no transgender mutilization of your beautiful children. So, ladies and gentlemen [1:54:35] of Texas, the golden age of America is upon us, but you have to get out if we want to keep it, [1:54:42] and you have to vote for Ken and the Republicans. We've already made unbelievable progress, [1:54:48] and now we are reaching new levels of greatness as a country. This is the greatest our country has [1:54:53] ever been. We're reaching new levels of greatness. So, it's my honor to be with you. It's my honor to [1:55:00] be your president. You are unbelievable people, unbelievable people, and we love you all. And together, [1:55:10] we will make America powerful again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America healthy [1:55:24] again. We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe [1:55:38] again. And most importantly, we will make America great again. Thank you, Texas. God bless you. [1:55:49] Thank you. God bless you all. Thank you. Thank you.
