President Trump holds rally at Pitt-Greenville Airport in Greenville, NC — FOX 10 Phoenix

[0:02] It's disgusting, but those Democrats want one more Democrat, and his name is Roy Cooper. [0:14] The same Roy Cooper who let out 3,000 plus violent criminals that led to more than two dozen, almost two dozen murders in this great state of North Carolina. [0:33] That's right. We must elect Michael Watley here in the Tar Heel State. [0:47] We gotta make sure President Trump has his support. [0:53] We've gotta hold the firewall, because if we don't do it, the Democrats have said it. [1:00] They're not hiding their hands anymore. They have said it very clearly. [1:04] Their goal is to put a Supreme Court justice on the bench who is a socialist. [1:12] They will not allow President Trump, that's right, never, never, never, never. [1:21] We have to hold the Senate. That means Roy Cooper must lose here in North Carolina, and Michael Watley must win. [1:30] It means we've gotta elect Republicans from sea to shining sea if we are going to protect the America that made me possible. [1:41] I'm a poor kid from right across the street in South Carolina, growing up in a single mama household in poverty. [1:50] She prayed and believed that all things, all things are possible in the greatest land, in all of God's green earth. [2:00] And we must hold the line for the American people. Hold the line for the Republican Party. Hold the line for President Donald J. Trump. [2:12] And if we do so, on November 3rd, the Senate will be your firewall. God bless you. [2:29] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage United States Senator from North Carolina, Ted Budd. [2:36] I was giving up for Tim Scott once more. I called my colleague, my dear friend, Tim. I said, we need you in Greenville. [3:24] He said, no problem. I said, North Carolina, Greenville. He said, no problem. How's our barbecue? It's good. It's good stuff. [3:37] I tell you what, it's absolutely great to be here with you all. You know, it's great to be here with my friend as well. [3:42] The Commander in Chief, President of these United States, Donald J. Trump. [3:46] You guys got a great memory, so I just want to let you know that Pitt County, Greenville is a very special place. [3:59] Who, I know a lot of you all drove in from a long way. Who here is from right here in Pitt County? Give it up. [4:04] You know, it was just five years ago, President Trump was taking a very unfortunate little interlude. [4:15] We don't like that interlude, do we? Nope. [4:19] And he came down here to Pitt County in Greenville, and he endorsed me to be your next U.S. Senator. [4:25] So I thank Mr. President for coming back here to Pitt County. [4:34] You know, just yesterday, I was out in Western North Carolina with Vice President Vance. [4:39] We appreciate his attention here on North Carolina. [4:42] And I'll let you all, I bet you have a lot of loved ones, a lot of friends, I bet you a lot of you all even volunteered out there in Western North Carolina over the last two years. [4:52] Thank you for your love and for your support for that part of the state. [4:56] Just, just yesterday, Vice President Vance announced that they were committing another, more than $800 million to Hurricane Helene Raleigh. [5:06] You know, that's just one, that's just one more example of what's at stake this November for our state and this country that we love. [5:17] Now, President Trump, he loves Western North Carolina. [5:20] He loves right here, Eastern North Carolina. [5:22] In fact, he loves all of this state. [5:23] He loves all of North Carolina. [5:25] And he loves all of these families. [5:26] You know, he's even got a granddaughter named Carolina. [5:30] You know Carolina. [5:31] You know Carolina. [5:32] She's named after this great state. [5:35] Well, let me ask you this. [5:36] I know we've got some young folks here, so help us, help everybody out here. [5:40] You all have seen that meme, right, of that superhero, and he's sweating. [5:44] And he's going to push, you know, one of these two buttons. [5:48] And he doesn't know which button to push, and he's sweating. [5:50] You've seen it, right? [5:52] Help us old folks out here. [5:53] All right. [5:54] Well, that's what this decision is like this November, right? [5:58] It's two buttons. [5:59] Which one are you going to push? [6:01] And it's either fix long-term problems, which is exactly what President Trump is doing, [6:07] or it's destroy our country. [6:10] A big decision, isn't it? [6:12] I think we ought to fix some long-term problems because President Trump is keeping his problems. [6:18] This election, North Carolina voters, you can choose which button to push. [6:22] You can support Republicans. [6:24] You can support abundant energy. [6:26] You can support a strong military or secure borders. [6:29] How about that? [6:30] I'm keeping those promises. [6:31] Thanks for the Border Patrol for being here, too. [6:35] God bless you guys. [6:36] And you can support true freedoms, like the freedom to worship and protecting our Second [6:47] Amendment. [6:48] How about that? [6:53] Or you can skip Republicans. [6:55] You could maybe not vote, or you could even worse, you could vote for Democrats, and maybe [6:59] they win. [7:03] Then you get open borders, all the work that these great folks have done over the last two [7:07] years, all that down the tubes. [7:09] You can support more reckless spending, higher taxes. [7:12] Maybe they'll tax off your tips again. [7:15] No. [7:17] Tax your overtime. [7:18] Tax your Social Security. [7:20] How about choking limits on American energy production? [7:24] More bad ideas. [7:25] How about this? [7:26] How about zero accountability for government fraud? [7:29] You all remember the Leering Center? [7:33] Yeah, you've got to be kidding me on that stuff. [7:37] I take it you don't like those things. [7:38] Well, it's an easy, it's an easy decision. [7:41] You can vote Republican. [7:44] You can press the Michael Wadley button and all Republicans up and down the ballot. [7:48] And as far as Michael, I have known him for years. [7:51] Michael helped work with you all to help me get elected. [7:54] After President Trump endorsed me in 2022, it was still a lot of work. [7:58] And we worked hard and we won with your help in 2022. [8:02] And he helped us in 2024 get President Trump back into the White House where he belonged. [8:08] He worked with us. [8:14] He worked with Senator Tim Scott and all of us to get the majority in the U.S. Senate. [8:18] The firewall, as Tim Scott said, for America. [8:21] Now it is our turn to work with Michael Wadley and help him get elected. [8:25] Now, folks from North Carolina, you all have gotten a lot of support, but there's a lot more work to do. [8:32] And Michael Wadley has been there every step of the way. [8:35] He's been behind the scenes. [8:37] This is even before he was running for the Senate. [8:39] He was helping North Carolina. [8:41] He was making calls. [8:42] He was cutting through red tape. [8:44] And he was showing up without even a paycheck. [8:47] And that's just kind of the guy he is. [8:49] He loves our country and he loves North Carolina. [8:53] In fact, I saw him getting more done as a volunteer than Roy Cooper did. [8:58] It's eight years as governor. [9:00] And, well, what about Roy Cooper's prior eight years? [9:06] Well, as I traveled around the state, I saw a lot of ribbon cuttings. [9:10] He was cutting those ribbons. [9:13] But he was cutting ribbons on projects that got delivered in North Carolina because of Republican votes. [9:20] And those are votes that he vetoed. [9:22] Isn't that crazy? [9:23] Taking credit for somebody else's work. [9:25] But I'll tell you what, with Michael Wadley, he is day one ready and there is going to be no learning curve. [9:32] Now, I need him as a partner in the U.S. Senate. [9:34] Tim Scott needs him as a colleague in the U.S. Senate. [9:37] And you all have seen my votes. [9:38] Votes on election integrity. [9:40] How about those? [9:41] Votes on strong borders. [9:44] Votes to cut your taxes. [9:46] Votes against fraud. [9:48] How about those? [9:49] And how about votes to support our veterans and our military? [9:53] Do we have any veterans? [9:54] They have spent every second of the last two years working against your agenda and President Trump's agenda. [13:30] They oppose policies that lower taxes, crack down on fraud, support our men and women in uniform, and prevent illegal immigrants from voting in your elections. [13:39] Now, their obstruction is unprecedented, and I see it every single day in Washington, D.C. [13:46] And, friends, I need more help in the U.S. Senate. [13:49] We've got a great opportunity to grow our map in states like Michigan and New Hampshire and some others. [13:54] But to make it easier to deliver policies that create more good-paying jobs, we need more Republican senators. [14:00] But that also means that I need a partner in Washington, D.C., not Roy Cooper pulling in the opposite direction, or Don Davis voting with Democrat Socialists in the House. [14:09] The partners I need are Michael Watley and Laurie Buckout and Jennifer Baucom. [14:16] But I'll tell you what, there is a lot of hard work between now and November 3rd. [14:24] The decision to support Michael Watley and Buckout and Baucom and Republicans up and down the ballot. [14:31] Remember that meme earlier? [14:33] This is a no-sweat decision. [14:35] So, North Carolina, now is our chance. [14:38] Let's get it done. [14:39] Thank you. [14:40] May God bless each and every one of you in this great country. [14:42] I love you. [14:43] I love you. [14:54] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage Republican nominee for United States Senate, Michael Watley. [15:01] Well, God bless Eastern North Carolina. [15:44] It is great to be back in Greenville and to welcome the greatest president of our lifetime, Donald J. Trump, back to North Carolina. [15:57] I am honored to be here tonight as your nominee for the United States Senate because I believe that you need a fighter and I will fight for you every single day. [16:14] I will stand up to the woke mob that's tried to infiltrate our schools and our families and our way of life. [16:24] President Trump needs an ally who will work to lower your costs, create more jobs, protect your families and preserve the American dream. [16:35] I will fight for tax cuts, regulatory relief and trade policies to help our small businesses, our manufacturers and especially our farmers. [16:50] We will create more jobs and better jobs and we will allow you the people of North Carolina to make more and keep more of your own money. [17:03] North Carolina does not need a radical leftist who will stand with Zoran Mamdani, AOC, Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders and Hassan Piker. [17:24] We don't need a senator who will vote for New York and California values over North Carolina. [17:33] We don't need a senator whose first vote will be for Chuck Schumer as the Senate majority leader, whose first vote will be for an agenda. [17:48] You know, there's a reason that Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama and the National Democrats are funneling hundreds of millions of dollars here in North Carolina. [17:59] Because they know that Roy Cooper will do exactly what they tell him to do and he will vote for them and not for you every single time. [18:12] Roy Cooper, simply put, was the worst governor in the history of North Carolina. [18:23] He shut down our churches. He shut down our schools. He shut down our businesses. He shut down our economy. [18:37] When Hurricane Helene slammed into Western North Carolina, unleashing record amounts of rain, flooding and devastation, damaged 73,000, destroyed 73,000 homes, wiped out 45,000 small businesses. [18:56] Where was Roy Cooper when that storm was barreling up the Gulf of America? He was in New York City at a climate change gala ball with all of his liberal elite friends. [19:07] Should we be surprised? He failed Eastern North Carolina when Hurricane Matthew and Florence barreled in. [19:19] And the fact is he took $100 million dedicated to hurricane relief and used it to build low income housing for illegal aliens. [19:28] Roy Cooper has stood with a woke mob and radical Democrats instead of North Carolina families every chance he could. [19:37] He made stuff cost more. Energy costs are up 30% because his handpicked public utilities commission raised your electricity rates to implement his Green New Deal policies while he's making millions of dollars for himself and his family with a sweetheart solar deal. [19:56] So you pay more for electricity and he gets rich. Sounds corrupt to me. [20:03] His executive orders and his regulations added tens of thousands of dollars to the cost of every new home. [20:12] In fact, the first $136,000 for every new home cost is regulatory compliance. [20:20] That's the cost before they pour a foundation, before they frame out the walls, before they put on a roof that you have to pay because of Roy Cooper and his love of the bureaucrats. [20:32] Let's talk about health care for a second. You know, Roy Cooper, under his watch, our health care costs, our health insurance premiums went up 183%. [20:47] We have the highest health insurance costs in the entire country. Higher than California. Higher than New York. Higher than Illinois. [20:57] No wonder the health insurance company executives have given him $400,000 in campaign contributions. [21:06] And of course, Roy Cooper was the cheerleader in chief when Joe Biden and the Democrats were spending reckless amounts of money and driving inflation through the roof. [21:19] 9% year over year. 20% plus over the course of his four years. Gasoline prices, grocery prices and housing prices have absolutely gone through the roof. [21:30] And what is Roy Cooper's solution to the affordability issues that he complains about every day? [21:37] He wants to raise your taxes and give you even more regulations. He is doubling down on stupid. [21:43] Roy Cooper vetoed the parents' bill of rights. How do you veto the parents' bill of rights? [21:56] How do you look the parents of North Carolina in the eye and say, you do not have any say in your children's education? [22:04] He vetoed legislation to prohibit transgender mutilation surgeries on kids. [22:15] Kids not old enough to drink. Not old enough to drive. Not old enough to get a tattoo. But we can give them a transgender mutilation surgery without a parent's consent? [22:31] He vetoed legislation to prohibit boys from playing in girls' sports and men to go into women's locker rooms. [22:45] I like these guys. [22:55] Of course, Roy Cooper vetoed voter ID. He vetoed it when the legislature passed it as a bill. And when they overwrote his veto, he sued that bill. He sued on that bill. Sent it back to the Supreme Court. [23:23] When we, the people of North Carolina, passed voter ID as a constitutional amendment, he vetoed the implementation bill. And he sued over that. He made it absolutely clear that he would veto the Safe America Act. [23:41] You know, it's pretty rich that he will make you show your ID in order to get into one of his little campaign events, but he will not make you show it when you go to vote. [23:57] And he also failed. He also failed at his most important job. The number one priority for any government, local government, state government, or the federal government, is to protect its citizens. [24:17] Roy Cooper was an abject failure at every level when it came to protecting the people of North Carolina. He set up North Carolina to be a sanctuary state by vetoing legislation to force sheriffs to honor ICE detainers and get violent, criminal, illegal aliens the hell out of North Carolina. [24:40] Now I want everybody here to please give a huge round of applause to my friend, Paul Perez and the members of the Border Patrol Council men and women are down there on the border every single day protecting every single state under Joe Biden. [25:35] We saw tens of millions of illegal aliens pouring across that border, making North Carolina a border state, bringing in fentanyl, migrant crime and sexual trafficking. [25:53] And what did Roy Cooper do? Roy Cooper opened up the state and welcomed in 500,000 illegal aliens costing us more than $3 billion a year in government services. [26:12] If it comes down to a choice between standing with illegal aliens and standing with Paul Perez and his men and women on the Border Patrol Council, that's where I'm going to stand. [26:21] When BLM and Antifa were burning down our cities in North Carolina, did Roy Cooper send in the highway patrol to put them down? Nope. [26:36] He pulled them back out of the way. Did he send in the National Guard to put down those riots? No, he did not. He took off his COVID mask. He raised his fist and he went out and marched with him. [26:50] Roy Cooper created a task force to reimagine law enforcement in North Carolina. Now, personally, I don't think we need to reimagine law enforcement. I think we need to enforce the law. [27:06] He set up a revolving door that put criminals back into our streets again and again and again. Men like Davey Spencer, who was arrested 60 different times. [27:23] He was convicted of 15 different felonies. And yet he was free and on our streets last Easter when he stabbed and killed a 21 year old Marine on leave from Camp Lejeune. [27:38] Ladies and gentlemen, that cannot happen in North Carolina. And he made the single most destructive decision of any governor in the history of North Carolina when he released thousands upon thousands of hardened criminals out of North Carolina prisons. [28:04] 4,200 hardened prisoners, including rapists and pedophiles and murderers because he didn't want them because he didn't want them to get COVID while they were in jail. [28:22] And what do you think happened when he released all of these criminals back into our communities? [28:34] They went on a rampage and they went right back to their lives of crime. [28:40] 2,200 of them, more than half, were rearrested again after Cooper let him out. Over 600 were rearrested for felony assault, aggravated assault and assault with a deadly weapon. [28:57] 99 of them were arrested for sexual assault, for child endangerment, for child pornography and rape. [29:05] 25 of them, 25 went on to commit murder. Now, the most famous guy on this list, DeCarlos Brown Jr., got rearrested and re-released 13 more times before he got on a light rail car in Charlotte, North Carolina, just over a year ago. [29:30] And brutally murdered a beautiful Ukrainian refugee named Irena Zarotska in cold blood. [29:38] That monster should have never been on the streets of North Carolina. That monster should have never been on that light rail car. And Irena Zarotska should be alive today. And her blood is on Roy Cooper's hands. [30:00] Now, I wish that's where the story stopped, but it doesn't because there's 24 other families that are going to have an open seat at the dinner table this Thanksgiving and this Christmas and next Easter forever because Roy Cooper let those killers out. [30:22] He has never, he's never offered an explanation as to why he thought he needed to let 4,200 criminals out. [30:32] He's never apologized to the victims of all of those crimes. He's never apologized to the families who lost loved ones. [30:42] And he has never apologized to you, the people of North Carolina for putting your communities at risk. [30:49] While Roy Cooper has spent his entire career fighting for criminals, I will always back the blue. [31:03] I'm proud to have the endorsement of the North Carolina Fraternal Order of Police, the North Carolina Police Benevolent Association, the North Carolina Highway Troopers Association and sheriffs from one end of this state to the other. [31:25] You know, when you think about it, every single time your family has fought to get ahead and live the American dream here in North Carolina, Roy Cooper has stood in your way by raising costs, releasing killers onto our streets and putting his woke ideology before our kids. [31:47] When we think about this election and we think about the contrast that we are facing here in North Carolina, and we understand that as this race goes, so goes the United States Senate, because I am very likely going to be the 51st Republican Senator. [32:07] You know, I grew up in Blowing Rock up on the Blue Ridge Parkway, a tiny little town of 534 people. When I grew up there, we had 534 people. We had one stoplight and we had a Hardee's. Today, they've got three stoplights and an Outback. It's pretty explosive growth. [32:38] My dad was a CPA. My mom was the town librarian. I went to school. I went to church and I worked. I got my first full time job when I was 14 years old. [32:52] I worked all the way through high school. I paid my way through college and graduate school. Three weeks after I graduated from law school, I had a blind date and I met Susie. [33:04] I fell head over heels in love that night. It took her a little bit longer, but we've been together for 28 years since. And of course, next week, I'm going to have to change that to 29 since our anniversary is coming up. [33:42] And we have three absolutely amazing children, Mary Kate, who's at Chapel Hill, Michael and George, who are both here with us tonight. And they all three have a great opportunity to go out and do amazing things. And you know what I call that? I call that the American dream. Get an education, get a job, get married, buy a house and raise your family in a safe and secure environment. [34:17] And that is why I am running for the United States Senate, because I want every one of your kids and every one of your grandkids to have the same opportunity to live that American dream right here in North Carolina like I have. [34:41] But that dream is under assault right now. It's under assault by a woke mob. It's under assault by a radical mob, by an extreme mob, by a Democratic mob, by a socialist mob. [34:58] And it's going to be a fight. And we know that we have to win here in North Carolina. We have to hold the line and make sure that we have a Republican Senate, that we get Lori Buck out and Jennifer Baucom into the United States House and keep the house. [35:18] We know what will happen if the Democrats take control because they've already shown us what happened after the 2018 election cycle. We will immediately go to investigations and impeachments to have already made it very clear. [35:40] But they're not going to stop there. They're impeach our vice president. They're going to impeach our secretary of war. They're going to impeach our secretary of Homeland Security. They're going to impeach our attorney general. [35:59] Heck, they're probably going to drag Tulsi Gabbard back to Washington and impeach her too. So the question that you got to ask yourselves, the question you need to ask in this election between me and Roy Cooper, who are you going to stand with? Who are you going to fight for? [36:22] Roy Cooper has been in office for 40 years. That guy got elected when I was a senior at Watauga High School, for God's sake. No wonder he's got a little slippage going on right now. You may have seen the reports. [37:06] I have to be careful asking about his mental acuity or I'll get sued. But the fact is, Roy Cooper is going to fight for criminals. He is going to fight for illegal aliens. He is going to fight for a radical agenda that puts boys and girls sports and allows transgender mutilation surgeries. [37:29] I am going to fight for our law enforcement officers. And I'm going to back the blue. I'm going to fight for our men and women in uniform, 10% of them who are based here in North Carolina. I'm going to fight for our veterans. I am going to fight for our families. I am going to fight for our great state. And I am going to fight for the greatest nation on the history of the world, the United States of America. [38:25] And my promise to you, North Carolina, is every single day, I will fight for you. Thank you. [38:41] There's one hymn especially that we want you to come to know and love. A great hymn of adoration. It's a Swedish hymn written in 1886. How great thou art. [39:15] Here in Melbourne, we have two crusade choirs. The ones you see on the platform this afternoon and down here have the red identification badge on. And we have a green choir, which will be here tomorrow. [39:29] We had over 1,400 of them registered. And we know that you'll enjoy their ministry and song. And just now, we're going to ask them to come. Mr. Shea to come and the choir to join him in singing. How great thou art. [40:09] Someone consider this. [40:20] And gentlemen, please turn your attention to the sky as Air Force One flies overhead with your 45th and 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. [44:39] Envy of the world again. [1:29:42] Gentlemen, the 45th and 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. [1:30:04] Minnesota, Tennessee. [1:30:50] Thank you very much. I said, do I need a coat? Do I need an overcoat? They said, well, it's very marginal, sir. Very marginal. So I said, you know, I'd rather not wear one. [1:32:41] I got a show. I'm all man. We're all men. We're all men. We're women. We're whatever the hell we are. But I know one thing. There's only two of us, right? There's not seven of us. There's not six of us. [1:32:58] Hello, North Carolina. This is great. I hope that you saw the plane fly right over your head. Did anybody notice? [1:33:08] Some people aren't quite with it, and they might not have noticed it. But we tried to take it as close as we could. So hopefully you enjoyed it. But I'm thrilled to be back in this beautiful state, which I won all three times, receiving more votes than any candidate in North Carolina history. [1:33:29] Every time, boom, boom, boom. And 14 days from now, North Carolina is going to defeat pro-crime radical left disaster governor Roy Cooper. [1:33:41] And he's a man who has let out murderers. And it's like, I don't believe it. Michael Dukakis, years ago, let out one murderer, Willie Horton. [1:33:55] And he went out to kill three women, rape and kill three women. He was leading by 14 points for president. [1:34:02] And immediately after that happened, he was out of the race. He lost by a landslide because he did it. [1:34:11] Roy Cooper let out hundreds of some of the worst criminals, but 83 or 85. And they killed within a short period of time, 25 people. [1:34:25] That's much worse than what took place in Massachusetts. And I can't believe it. [1:34:34] I said, you know what? I actually said, I told Michael Watley, he's fantastic. [1:34:39] You know, what a lot of people don't know is that we got screwed in 2020. We did great. [1:34:47] But you know who, you know, who didn't allow it to happen was Michael Watley. [1:34:51] We were winning everything. You went to bed, 10 o'clock, the race was over. [1:34:57] But then all of a sudden, Georgia happened and some other things happened. Pennsylvania happened. [1:35:04] You know what didn't happen? North Carolina didn't happen because he had 619 lawyers at every station watching, watching, watching. [1:35:18] And I got screwed and we all got screwed. But you know what? [1:35:23] It made what we're doing now even bigger and more important. And that's good. [1:35:29] But, but, but we can't forget. And I want to just tell you that I said, I'm going to do this again. [1:35:36] I said it pretty early, earlier than people would think because I had the ultimate poll. [1:35:40] You know what the ultimate poll was? 2020. Tim Scott will tell you that. Ted Budd will tell you that. [1:35:46] It was 2020. I knew how well we did. Everyone knows. And now it's been proven. [1:35:51] But it was the ultimate poll. So I said, I'm going to do it again. [1:35:54] But I also said, and if I do it again, I'm going to get this guy, Michael Watley from North Carolina, [1:36:00] to be the head of the Republican Party, the chairman of the RNC. [1:36:10] That guy right there, that nice guy, but he's actually a killer. [1:36:13] But I don't want to say that it may affect his election. He's a tough cookie. [1:36:16] And he was with a person named Laura Trump. Have you ever heard of her? [1:36:22] She's an extremely fit young woman. Have you ever seen her exercise? [1:36:29] I said, give me a break. She's so fit. It's ridiculous. I've never seen it. [1:36:34] But she's also fit up here. And the two of them were unbelievable. [1:36:39] Michael and Laura were unbeatable. And we won everything. [1:36:42] We came back. We won all seven swing states. We won the popular vote by millions. [1:36:48] We won counties, 87% of the counties. Think of it, 87%. [1:36:52] That's why the map is almost entirely red when you look at it. [1:36:56] But we won everything. It was an unbelievable election. [1:37:00] But I said, Michael, thank you very much. [1:37:03] And, you know, I said, Michael, I'd love you to run for the Senate. [1:37:07] I'm the one that got him into this. I hope it works. I hope it works. [1:37:14] And I did because he's really good. [1:37:16] No, I said, if I do this again, I want to get him to be the head of the RNC, [1:37:21] the Republican National Committee. [1:37:23] And he did that with Laura. And they were unbelievable. [1:37:27] They were unbelievable. The team we had was so unbeatable. [1:37:30] Because we had to make it too big to rig. 2024, too big to rig. [1:37:34] And he's the one that did it. He is so competent. He is so good. [1:37:39] He loves his state. He won't be letting, Michael, do I have your word? [1:37:45] You will not be allowing 86 or 85 murderers out of jail [1:37:51] because we have a new cold virus coming up. [1:37:54] Or, you know, he let them out because of COVID. [1:37:56] This guy, Cooper, let them out, killers, into the families, into the communities. [1:38:03] And they killed 25 people almost immediately. [1:38:06] They were murderers, and he let them out. [1:38:08] But how the hell do you elect the—you can't put this guy in the Senate. [1:38:12] I have your word you will not allow killers back into society. [1:38:24] No, he's a fantastic man. [1:38:26] Look, I have to say it. I don't need this. [1:38:28] I could have been home doing it. I had to come here. [1:38:31] They don't know if it's cold or not cold. [1:39:07] Look at him. [1:39:07] So these are paid protesters, you know that. [1:39:10] Every once in a while, somebody starts shouting one word, two words, and they get whisked right out. [1:39:18] They go home to their mom dead, and they get smacked around. [1:39:22] They said, I voted for that man. Don't you ever do that again. [1:39:25] You know the crazy thing? [1:39:26] They get paid $250. That's what they get. [1:39:29] Here's another one over here. [1:39:31] Here's another one over here. [1:39:34] Losers. Losers. Losers. [1:39:54] No, they get home, and they get smacked in the face by the mother and the father probably, maybe a little harder by the father. [1:40:01] And they say, we voted for that man. We love that man. [1:40:05] You did that. How disgraceful. [1:40:07] And the kids are all ashamed. [1:40:08] But you know the bad part? [1:40:10] They actually develop a record. [1:40:11] You know, they get brought to a precinct, and for the rest of their lives, for $250, they get paid by the radical left lunatics that you watch taking place in France. [1:40:21] I would say this is a slightly lesser event. [1:40:25] So far, we had two little people, very little people, although the last guy was pretty fat, I have to be honest with you. [1:40:31] But, but, and by the way, do you believe what's going on in France? [1:40:37] That's never going to go on over here. [1:40:39] I promise you that's never going on in here. [1:40:41] We will stop. [1:40:43] We will get Ted Budden. [1:40:45] We will say, Ted, let's go. [1:40:48] I'll get, I'll get Tim and Ted. [1:40:50] I got some group over here. [1:40:52] But this election, I'm asking you to pretend that I'm on the ballot, because when I'm on the ballot, you know, we got the highest vote three times. [1:41:00] This one, this one, and this. [1:41:02] And the highest of all, too big to rig, and the highest of all, and when I'm on the ballot, we do unbelievably, we pick up almost 50, 49%, almost 50%, more people vote. [1:41:18] And what I'm doing is please pretend I'm on the ballot, because in a way I am on the ballot, because they want to do away with all of the tremendous things we've done, the tax cuts, the border. [1:41:28] How about the border? [1:41:28] We have the safest border in the history of Oklahoma. [1:41:32] Remember how bad it was? [1:41:35] So early voting in North Carolina is already underway and will continue through October 31st, or Election Day. [1:41:42] And, you know, November 3rd is the big day. [1:41:45] And I look so forward to that evening of election. [1:41:47] I just think we're going to do great. [1:41:49] I just feel it. [1:41:50] We have crowds like this in Texas. [1:41:52] We have overflow crowds with thousands and thousands of people who can't get into these arenas. [1:41:58] And other people show up. [1:42:00] They have 50 people, 60 people, 52. [1:42:03] The one guy had 52 people. [1:42:05] And I have 15,000 people, and I'm disappointed. [1:42:09] Oh, I thought it would be more. [1:42:11] You know? [1:42:12] We have 25,000, 35,000, 15. [1:42:17] We were in Montana the other night. [1:42:19] We set a record. [1:42:20] They've never had a crowd like that. [1:42:21] They've never seen it in Texas, the same thing. [1:42:24] You saw the convention booked out, totally booked out. [1:42:27] Nobody did that before a mini convention. [1:42:30] It's been amazing. [1:42:31] So we went to Ohio. [1:42:33] He's leading. [1:42:35] He was losing by a lot. [1:42:36] A lot of people didn't know he was a great football stud. [1:42:39] We have a guy running, but he's a little bit like Michael in that way. [1:42:43] He's a modest person. [1:42:46] And he was a football star, and I explained it. [1:42:49] It's a long story, but I explained it. [1:42:51] And John Gruden, the coach, great coach, he came up to the audience and explained. [1:43:07] John said, you know, he is a, John is a, John Usted, he is a, one of the most incredible football players. [1:43:16] He's All-American. [1:43:17] He has 17, he's a safety, 17 interceptions, a record. [1:43:21] He was a vicious tackler. [1:43:24] He said he'd take your head off. [1:43:26] Now, in Ohio, this is very good. [1:43:28] Good for North Carolina, too, by the way. [1:43:30] But it turned out he's a great football star. [1:43:33] And he was about 10 points down. [1:43:37] And I explained it to the people in a huge audience that we had a very, you know, very similar kind of a thing. [1:43:42] And by the time I finished, they did a poll. [1:43:46] He's leading by two. [1:43:47] He picked up like 12 or 14 points. [1:43:49] Did you know that, Tim? [1:43:50] Did you know that, Tim? [1:43:51] They said, I said, well, when you say he's good, what does that mean? [1:43:57] Well, he's an All-American. [1:43:58] He was the best player in the team, and we won the championship. [1:44:02] And John was a very good quarterback, and he was a great coach, and he's still a great commentator and coach, John Gruden. [1:44:11] And he said, yeah, he's a friend of mine, but he was violent on a football team. [1:44:16] Now, I watched, I know him very well, and he always seemed so calm to me. [1:44:22] And he's a modest guy, and nobody knew this. [1:44:24] Some of the people in Ohio knew it because he was, they played for Dayton, and he was a big star. [1:44:30] But they changed their view, and it was terrible, you know, the way they asked him to come up. [1:44:35] And I said, John, come on up and say a few words, if you would. [1:44:38] Just come up. [1:44:39] So he walks up, and I always thought he was very quiet. [1:44:42] He's a lieutenant governor, was a really good lieutenant governor, but I thought he was very quiet, maybe too quiet for politics. [1:44:48] And I said, please come up, John. [1:44:51] This is after John Gruden told me about him. [1:44:54] So he's over here, I'm over here, and I'm studying his body. [1:44:59] I've never studied the body of a man before. [1:45:02] It's not my thing. [1:45:03] Nothing wrong with it, of course. [1:45:05] Nothing. [1:45:06] I always proceeded by saying, nothing wrong, but it's never been my thing, to be honest with you. [1:45:12] But I looked at his ass, and then I looked at his legs, and I said, his ass is shit. [1:45:22] It's like a pile of muscle. [1:45:26] Then I looked at his legs, and I said, man, his feet are big. [1:45:31] Then I looked at his shoulders, and I tapped him on the shoulder, and it actually hurt my hand. [1:45:37] It was like a piece of steel. [1:45:39] And he said, this guy's a monster. [1:45:41] And John Gruden told me that. [1:45:43] He was a violent tackler, or this, that. [1:45:46] But he never talked about it. [1:45:47] He was an all-American football player. [1:45:50] And by the time I finished with that story, he went from being 10 points down to being 2 points today. [1:45:56] A poll came out. [1:45:57] He's 2 points up. [1:46:03] He's fantastic. [1:46:03] And I think, and he's also become very much more dynamic. [1:46:08] He's, today he was screaming, we will win. [1:46:12] I said, where the hell did this guy come from? [1:46:14] It's like he plays football. [1:46:15] So, Tim, you saw what happened. [1:46:18] The polls have him up in Ohio. [1:46:21] He's up in Texas. [1:46:22] He's up. [1:46:23] He's up in, you know, what happened. [1:46:27] I went to Montana. [1:46:28] We had a record crowd. [1:46:29] They're doing phenomenally up. [1:46:31] They're up all, I went, I flew to Alaska. [1:46:34] It's a long flight. [1:46:37] And we have a man named Dan Sullivan, a Democrat. [1:46:40] They put somebody else named Dan Sullivan. [1:46:42] So I have two Dan Sullivans on the ticket. [1:46:45] We, of course, go to the court. [1:46:47] And, of course, the court essentially rules against this. [1:46:50] So we have a Dan Sullivan and a Dan Sullivan and a Democrat. [1:46:57] Now, do you think that's fair? [1:46:59] And the guy never was political. [1:47:01] He was never, he never voted before. [1:47:04] But he said, no, I wanted to run. [1:47:05] He never voted before. [1:47:06] He never went to a meeting, never went. [1:47:08] He just doesn't happen to be a political person. [1:47:10] But he has the right name, so they put him in. [1:47:13] And he said, you know, ours is Daniel S. [1:47:16] He was, I think, Daniel J. [1:47:18] That was the only difference. [1:47:20] So he said, no, no, I'm not a political person. [1:47:23] I really don't know. [1:47:24] It's just a coincidence that we have the same name. [1:47:26] Oh, okay. [1:47:26] So we go to court. [1:47:27] We finish the court. [1:47:29] And he goes down and tries to change his middle initial to Daniel S., the same as our guy. [1:47:34] But he's not political at all. [1:47:36] He didn't do this. [1:47:37] But he wasn't political. [1:47:38] It was the Democrats that did it. [1:47:40] And he ended up getting two and a half points. [1:47:42] That's a lot. [1:47:43] That's a lot in the early stage. [1:47:45] Now they're going into the final stage. [1:47:46] And he's allowed to be on the ballot. [1:47:49] And we said he shouldn't be allowed to be on the ballot. [1:47:51] And it's disgusting. [1:47:53] And yet Dan Sullivan, the real Dan, I call him the real Dan Sullivan, is up very nicely now. [1:47:58] I mean, it's pretty amazing. [1:48:00] It's pretty amazing. [1:48:02] And we have others that are leading also. [1:48:06] So I don't know. [1:48:07] Things are happening to me. [1:48:08] Look at the crowds. [1:48:09] I mean, we're having crowds that nobody's ever seen. [1:48:13] For a midterm election, nobody's ever seen anything like it. [1:48:16] For some reason, for some reason, a sitting president, Republican or Democrat, a sitting [1:48:26] president, I don't know why I'm going to have Tim Scott maybe try and explain it to me later. [1:48:32] Or maybe we'll just talk about another subject because it doesn't matter. [1:48:36] But for some reason, a sitting president, a great one or a horrible one? [1:48:42] We haven't had too many great ones. [1:48:45] Thank you. [1:48:46] Thank you. [1:48:53] No, I was actually waiting for that. [1:48:54] I was hoping somebody was, because I was going to say it myself if nobody said it. [1:49:00] No, but for some reason, so out of 25 races every two years, they've won two. [1:49:09] I don't understand it. [1:49:10] Is it some kind of a block? [1:49:13] I don't understand how it's possible. [1:49:16] A good president tends not to win. [1:49:19] I don't, there's no reason for it. [1:49:21] You know, people have said deep down psychologically. [1:49:24] So we're going to try and change it. [1:49:25] Now I'm doing something different. [1:49:27] I'm working like a dog. [1:49:29] And I love being with you because in the other ones, you know, the other ones, when I ran, [1:49:39] it was great because we got 50%, almost 50% more votes. [1:49:43] And we won everything. [1:49:44] We won all the, we won the Senate. [1:49:46] We won everything. [1:49:47] But when I wasn't running, I didn't really campaign. [1:49:50] I let other people campaign. [1:49:52] I figured that's it. [1:49:53] What did I know? [1:49:54] I hadn't been doing this that long, right? [1:49:56] But this time, so I've done like about 10 rallies in about eight days. [1:50:02] And now I'm scheduled to do, I think I'm even scheduled to come back here in another week. [1:50:09] I come back here for my man. [1:50:14] But, so we have like 15 days and I'm doing about 18 rallies. [1:50:21] That's work. [1:50:22] That's work. [1:50:23] But it's not work in front of North Carolina. [1:50:26] You know, a friend of mine said, how do you do that? [1:50:28] How do you speak in front of so many? [1:50:30] Look at all the, oh, wow. [1:50:31] That's a lot of fake news. [1:50:33] Look at that. [1:50:33] You just have to blot them out, right, Ted? [1:50:37] No, you have to. [1:50:38] That is a lot of, that's a lot of fake news up there. [1:50:42] But a friend of mine, fake news, fake news, fake polls are all fake. [1:50:52] But I've been fighting pollsters, although I've had some great polls. [1:50:57] I have some great polls. [1:50:59] But before I go any further, I have to do one thing. [1:51:02] We have a group of ladies that have been following me for years. [1:51:08] And they come from, they're finally in their, they're finally in their own state. [1:51:14] They've been following me for years. [1:51:16] They're stalkers. [1:51:17] They're stalking me. [1:51:19] They're beautiful women. [1:51:21] They come from North Carolina. [1:51:22] They follow me to California. [1:51:24] They follow me to Texas. [1:51:26] They were, I believe this is like number 311. [1:51:30] Can you believe it? [1:51:30] Number 311. [1:51:31] And they are, they're beautiful women, but you're not allowed to say that politically anymore. [1:51:37] You know, if you say a woman is beautiful, that's the end of your political career. [1:51:40] So please, if you would forgive me, would you forgive me for saying you're beautiful? [1:51:45] So, please, I apologize. [1:51:50] No, this is how screwed up things. [1:51:52] If you say a woman is a beautiful woman, please apologize immediately, Caruso. [1:51:56] But these women have been with me for, like from the beginning, and they love me and I love them. [1:52:05] They're just incredible people. [1:52:07] And they come from, look at them. [1:52:11] And they're all, it's so nice to be finally, finally I'm in their state. [1:52:16] You know, I see them in Ohio. [1:52:19] I see them, and they're finally, but they, they, we love them. [1:52:22] They're very special people. [1:52:23] And they, they basically love our country, and they want to see our country do well. [1:52:28] You can tell by the way they're coiffed, you know, the coiff. [1:52:32] You can see by the way they're dressed and their whole demeanor. [1:52:35] I mean, these are very, very, very, very, very substantial people. [1:52:39] They have, I don't know what the hell their husbands are all about, because, are your husbands with you tonight, I hope? [1:52:46] You know, last time their husbands were with them, I couldn't believe it. [1:52:49] Their husbands, their husbands are very proud of them, and they love their husbands. [1:52:54] But they follow us because they love our country. [1:52:58] And I'm so happy to have them now in North Carolina, where they come from. [1:53:02] Thank you. [1:53:02] It's so much nicer than when they have to travel distances. [1:53:09] But, and I also have my Front Row Joes. [1:53:11] My Front Row Joes are so incredible. [1:53:13] And a man who's very special, Mr. Wall, please stand up. [1:53:19] He's, okay, now he looks a little cool. [1:53:27] One day I'm going to get it. [1:53:28] One day I'm going to wear the Wall suit. [1:53:29] But he's come to about, I think, 612 or something. [1:53:35] A lot. [1:53:36] And yet he's a brilliant guy. [1:53:37] He makes a lot of, I said, where the hell does that guy come from? [1:53:41] He's a very successful guy. [1:53:43] Makes a lot of money. [1:53:45] I watched you doing an interview the other day. [1:53:47] They had you online. [1:53:48] And you are very well spoken. [1:53:50] You could be doing this if you want. [1:53:52] But I appreciate it. [1:53:53] You've been such a loyal person. [1:53:54] And I appreciate it. [1:53:55] Great. [1:53:57] And, you know, by wearing that, he's really representing something that I did. [1:54:02] I built 2,000 miles of wall. [1:54:04] And we have the greatest border we've ever had. [1:54:07] So, so thank you. [1:54:12] It's really, you remind me of the wall every time. [1:54:14] And I'm very proud of the wall. [1:54:16] We had a, I used the military because we couldn't get the money from Congress. [1:54:21] And I said, no, that's all right. [1:54:22] I just gave them a trillion dollars. [1:54:24] I'm going to take it out of the military. [1:54:26] I'll buy a couple of less arms. [1:54:27] 2,000 miles of wall built. [1:54:31] And we have the safest border in the history of our country. [1:54:34] And I'll.
