Trump delivers remarks at campaign rally in Lubbock, Texas — FOX 10 Phoenix

[0:20] to be home in God's country. I have been on the road traveling 2,000 miles up and down everywhere [0:33] making sure Republicans show up. But when I heard our president, the greatest president in our [0:41] lifetime, Donald J. Trump, was coming to my hometown, Lubbock, where we raise our family, [0:54] I wanted to be here to make sure we welcomed him as best we can. I wanted the opportunity to brag [1:07] about our people. They're so good. I mean, we have farmers who farm on the edge of a desert. [1:15] They make cotton and peanuts and they do such a great job. We've got ranchers to our north [1:26] and over to the east. And man, I'll tell you what, wildfires, everything there can't get [1:31] them down. They still make sure that we have the nation's beef supply. I do not know what [1:42] a vegan campaign is. And then one of the best blessings Texas has ever had, we've got the [1:52] Permian and Delaware basins. Oil and gas, drill baby drill. Our producers make sure Texas is [2:02] Texas. And I also, look, I mean, I wanted to brag on them, but I also had to come here [2:08] to brag on the greatest university in the entire country, Texas Tech. You know, I sit there and I [2:22] look at the motto, the saying of Texas Tech, from here it's possible. It is so true. It honestly, [2:31] that is the motto of our country. It is a place that you can succeed through hard work in whatever [2:39] you want to be, you can be it. That is the dream. It is alive and well. It is a recognition that our [2:48] rights come from God, not government. It is a recognition that government treats everybody [2:57] equal. And then we get to decide every single election cycle what the next iteration of our [3:04] story, which is unfinished, is going to be. That's the other reason I'm here. There are 45,000 [3:12] Republicans in Lubbock County who have not voted yet. I am here to remind you if Lubbock does not [3:22] vote, if Amarillo does not vote, if all of the other great cities and counties do not vote, you [3:29] know what happens? Travis County gets to decide what our state is all about. Ladies and gentlemen, [3:41] have you noticed the entire top of the Democrat ticket from U.S. Senate to governor to comptroller [3:48] you name them. They're all from the same place. They're all from Austin, Texas. And look, [3:56] y'all know this. You understand this. Austin is not just a little bit blue. It is the craziest, [4:03] most blue progressive place there is. If we do not vote, they get to decide for us. Are we going to let [4:10] that happen? All right. I want to talk a little bit about this. The top of the Democrat ticket has said [4:19] they want to dismantle capitalism. That's a direct quote. That's not AI. They want to dismantle it. [4:27] That is essentially dismantling the American dream for our children, their inheritance, [4:34] their grandchildren. That's what they want to do. What do they want to replace it with? Communism. [4:43] It is 2026. I do not think we should have to have this debate. Consum has failed people everywhere it [4:52] has tried. It is the absolute opposite form of government we have. It basically says that your [5:00] rights come from government, not God. It is going to make everybody equal, not by bringing them up, [5:05] by keeping them all down. Don't dream a little dream there. They don't want you to succeed, [5:10] but that's what they've said. I don't care how moderate they sound today. I don't care how they [5:15] said they regret some of those comments. Look at their voting record. They did not ever meet a tax [5:21] they did not like. When we went to go ban an income tax, they fought us. When we banned a wealth tax, [5:28] they fought us. When we even made sure that we banned a death tax in the state of Texas, [5:34] they fought us. That's what they do if we stay home. You know what they also said? Top of the [5:40] Democrat ticket. I'm not making this up. They said they want to dismantle the oil and gas industry. [5:45] Are you all going to let that happen? All right, just think about it for a second. [5:52] You talk about unaffordability. If we don't have oil and gas, man, it's going to be bad. [5:58] Talk about driving cars, even trying to turn on a light. It is going to destroy this economy. [6:04] And I don't care if they're telling you now to try to get your vote that they take all those things [6:08] back. That's what they've done. And they've tried every other place. And guys, we've made so much [6:13] good progress with our schools. We really have. We've gotten all the weird woke stuff out, all that [6:19] DEIs out of our public schools, all that trans nonsense they were trying to get in there. We got [6:30] that out. Last session, we made sure our teachers got the biggest pay raise in the history of Texas. [6:41] We also gave them authority to put discipline back in the classroom. One more thing. We also said those [6:54] cell phones that compete for attention. They need to be in the bags. And you know what happens? [7:02] You pay your teachers a little bit more. You let them have some discipline. You get the weird woke [7:06] stuff out. Keep the cell phones in the bag. Test scores are going up. It is getting a lot better. [7:15] It is not time to go backwards on all of that. And if we do not show up and vote, that's what's [7:22] going to happen. So here's my ask. Who is going to join me in supporting and making sure [7:28] Ken Paxton is our next U.S. Senator. Who is going to join me in making sure Governor [7:43] Abbott stays our governor. Dan Patrick stays our Lieutenant Governor. And that we vote for [7:58] Don Huffines and Mays Middleton and Don Buckingham and Nate Sheets in the entire Republican ballot. [8:04] It is good to be home. God bless you. God bless West Texas and this great country. Thank you very much. [8:18] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, Texas Comptroller, Don Huffines. [9:13] It's fire up to win a November. I hope so. Well, I'm Don Huffines, your Comptroller, your chief [9:51] financial officer for the eighth largest economy in the world. I'm a fifth generation Texan and I'm so [10:03] proud of that. And there's my perfect wife right over there, Mary Catlin, 39 years of happy marriage. [10:08] I have five grown children. We homeschooled them throughout their schooling careers so they would [10:16] grow up in a solid Christian conservative environment. And they did. The foundation of [10:22] my life is Jesus, family, and business in that order. But who I thank for doing it put me in as [10:35] Comptroller on August the 1st because it was a logical decision. You see, I won the primary in the [10:40] landslide. Thank you if you voted for me. If you didn't, guess what? You get another chance. Oh, [10:47] I forgot to tell you all four, all five of my children are married now to the opposite sex. Thank [10:54] God. Thank God. Now we got 13 grand babies. It's wonderful. You know, the first thing I did when I [11:07] got sworn in on August the 1st was turn around and sign all the paperwork to make sure the state [11:12] of Texas never paid me a penny. No pay, no pension, no health care, no, no nothing. And I did that because [11:19] I told you the voters I was going to do that. I always do what I say I'm going to do. And guess what? [11:24] The government didn't hire me. You hired me. The people hired me. I worked for you. [11:29] Less than 90 days, I've torn that agency apart. It's amazing. We have three or 400 less people [11:41] that are working there before. There was 3,000 people. My job is to collect all the money for [11:47] the state of Texas. All of it. All the money comes through our office. I have eyes on all the spending. [11:54] I manage all the money. I tell the legislature how much they can spend every session. And I have to [11:59] certify the budget. And it is so much more than that. The comptroller's office is the engine that [12:04] runs Texas. How much money do you think we spend every day in the state of Texas? Over 500 million [12:13] dollars every day, seven days a week. That's 365,000 dollars every minute of every day. But when I [12:23] got there, I thought, this is a big job. I'm so excited. I really am. Because, you know, I don't [12:28] report to the governor. I don't report to the legislature. I report to you, of course. Thank you. [12:34] But I got there, and so I immediately got rid of two taxes. I can interpret the taxes the way I want to, [12:43] the way the legislature probably intended it to be. I killed a tax on your marketplace fees, [12:48] whether you're an Uber driver or DoorDash or Domino's Pizza. That was saving you tens of [12:56] millions of dollars you don't have to pay anymore. I killed another tax. It was on your medical records. [13:07] Anytime your doctor or dentist pulled up your medical records, he had to pay a sales tax on that [13:12] eight and a quarter percent. I killed that saving you tens of millions of more dollars. And you know, [13:23] I, with the state of Texas, we shovel billions of dollars out of my office in grants, grants. Free [13:32] money. Also, I have eyes and ears on all the contracts. If you want to do business in the [13:36] state of Texas, it comes, the contract has to come through my office. Well, guess what I did in the [13:43] last 60 days? I made sure that no company doing business in the state of Texas can get any money [13:50] on flock cameras. We're killing them. The next thing I did was making sure any company that's [14:02] the banks and everybody else, and we move billions of dollars through these banks, [14:08] can never have DEI or ESG in their company. And one more I want to mention is to make sure if you're [14:21] doing business in the state of Texas, you will never get any money and you will never get a contract [14:27] unless you have medical freedom in your organization. No more vaccine mandates. Folks, [14:42] we're just, I'm just getting started. I'm just getting started. I really am. I created a new [14:48] portal, a website to report government fraud. See, I'm so focused on government fraud. My job is to [14:54] root out fraud, wasting abuse. I'm the doge king, and that's what I'm working on. I started a new [15:05] law enforcement division. It's called Texas strike. I mean, Texas first. It's about rooting out fraud. [15:13] It's about putting people that are stealing from you in prison. Because you see, I have some [15:17] experience in that. When I was a state senator, I put six people in jail for stealing millions of [15:23] dollars from Dallas County taxpayers, and I closed that organization down. I got the Rangers involved, [15:29] and it doesn't exist anymore. And what that group spent in one year, the state of Texas spends in eight [15:35] hours. Folks, we do have fraud in the state of Texas. I will root it out, and I will put their picture [15:43] on the wall. Patriots, I know you've heard this a thousand times, and I know Speaker Burroughs told [15:57] you that, and he's a great man. This is the most important election of your life. And you've heard [16:04] that, and you say, we've cried wolf a lot. I know we have. But let me tell you something. We've never [16:10] run against the Communist Party before. This is not the Democrat Party of old. This is not Rick Perry [16:18] versus John Sharp. These people are evil. This is a clear choice of good versus evil. People do not [16:33] believe in Jesus. They are demonic. They took God out of our classrooms 45 years ago. They want you to [16:43] worship government instead of God, and you know that. They're the ones that mutilate our children [16:48] and turn them into the opposite sex. They're the ones that want to kill our babies. They're the ones that [16:54] are directly responsible for the COVID-19 virus. We cannot lose this election. [17:03] What do you think George Washington was thinking when he woke up in the morning like at Valley Forge, [17:19] and now all the people around him are sick and throwing up, fighting the largest army in the world. [17:25] And they're fighting this over three taxes, four taxes. And he's like, okay, what are we thinking? [17:33] But he persevered. He persevered just like we've got to persevere. We all know the Alamo. We all know [17:41] the story, right? But it wasn't a military battle, guys. It was a battle fought by you and you and you [17:51] and you and me. It was a battle fought by civilians, adventurers, farmers, ranchers, preachers. And when [18:00] they heard the call when Travis sent his letter to Gonzalez, 32 men answered that call. One of them [18:07] had to ask his permission from his mother, William King, if he could go fight for Texas. She gave him [18:14] permission and she kissed him goodbye. She had to because see, William was barely 16 years old. [18:20] He was the youngest defender of the Alamo and they knew it was a one-way trip. And we know what happened [18:25] to William because it was written in the Mexican diary. They said they had to pry his hands off the neck [18:31] of a dead enemy soldier. He fought like a Diablo. Another man standing there is Isaac Millsap. [18:41] His wife Mary said, Isaac, you go fight. You go fight for Texas. And he did. He was the oldest [18:48] defender of the Alamo and they both knew it was a one-way trip. Nobody would have blamed Isaac for [18:55] not going because you see, he had seven children. He left a widow of seven children in the wilderness. [19:02] Beyond that, she was completely blind, completely blind. Now, what is it they saw? What is it that we're not [19:11] seeing? They did not want the boot of a tyrant on their neck. They know that their liberty comes from [19:20] God and not the government. Us be the lighthouse of liberty, not for the USA, but for the whole world. [19:39] Because you understand this, you need to know that we are the foundation. The Republican Party of Texas [19:47] is the foundation for the Republican Party of the country. And when the foundation breaks, [19:56] it's all going to fall apart. We're not doing good right now in the early vote. We're getting beat [20:04] by the leftists. We're getting beat bad. You need to know that. You need to be scared. You need to be [20:13] concerned. Because it's a fact. We have got to get everybody you know out to the polls. This, this is Texas. [20:34] We don't need to be looking to Washington, D.C. or New York City for anything. They need to be [20:41] looking to us. This is Texas government for any reason. Because this is Texas. The greatest days [21:06] are yet to dawn. I know they're coming because of you. They're coming for our liberty, our prosperity, [21:12] and our virtue always. God bless you. God bless Texas and God bless the U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. T.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. Thank you. [21:37] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage Republican nominee for Texas 19th Congressional District, Tom Sell. [21:54] I know we are all deeply honored to host right here in Lubbock, Texas, the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. Let's hear it. [23:05] We are the food, fuel, and fiber capital of the world. [23:15] I'm so grateful that my great friend, Jody Arrington, for his service, 10 years of great service, and for his raising this awesome profile. [23:25] Here we do produce the goods, the cattle, the beef, the cotton, the oil and gas, the things that make America great, baby. Let's go. [23:46] Here we cultivate life. Here we love life. We lead the West Texas way, and America is greater for it. [24:01] We are on the front lines of making America great again. This is a tough region. We're a young region, and the optimistic pioneer spirit is still alive and well here in West Texas. [24:17] West Texas is the home of true grit, baby. It's the home of the American spirit. [24:25] God and country, duty and family, faith and charity, and above all, hard work. [24:33] These are the values that make America great, and these are the values that make West Texas the bulwark for the Republicans, for our state, and for our nation. [24:44] West Texas, I hope you hear this love song to you. [24:55] This is our home. These are our roots. [24:58] This is pure West Texas, defined by tenacity, honesty, and character. [25:04] When faced with struggles, we don't cast blame or rollover, or even look to someone else to solve those problems. [25:12] We buckle down, we count our blessings, and we overcome. [25:18] Washington, D.C. needs more West Texas. [25:21] And I'll tell you what, the world needs more West Texas. [25:33] And now to President Trump. [25:35] What an honor to have him here today. [25:37] We love his boldness. [25:42] We love his tenacity. [25:44] Our nation and the world are safer because he refuses to back down. [25:54] I mean, just look at what's happening in the streets of France right now, and beyond, throughout Europe. [26:00] By abandoning the values that built the West, opening their borders, and inviting an immigration invasion that's overrunning their countries, [26:09] European leaders have put their people, their culture, on a treacherous path. [26:15] Today, we are witnessing these warnings play out, and we have to realize that the radical left is trying to repeat this exact same playbook here at home. [26:28] That's a sad reality, ladies and gentlemen. [26:31] The woke mob is sowing division, chaos, and fear in an attempt to beat down our patriotism, our pride, and the American spirit that built our nation. [26:43] But not in West Texas. [26:45] Not in West Texas. [26:47] We cannot let them win. [26:50] After four years of chaos under the Biden administration, Republicans have made our nation more secure, having safeguarded our freedoms, and having built on the promise of America. [27:02] Under the leadership of President Trump, the border is secure. [27:06] More than that, we've seen the largest reduction in violent crime in the history of our nation. [27:20] When the woke left wanted to defund the police, do you remember? [27:30] When the woke left wanted to defund the police, Republicans continued to back the blue, and we do to this day. [27:38] Thank you to our police, to the first responders. [27:42] We've delivered peace through strength, and we've reclaimed our place as a beacon of freedom. [27:48] The radical DEI agenda has been dismantled, and we've put a stop to the woke, canceled culture, seeking to undermine our sacred First Amendment rights. [28:00] Yes? [28:01] Cracked down on waste. [28:09] We've cracked down on fraud and abuse that was rife in our federal government. [28:14] Republicans have safeguarded our freedoms, and we cannot afford to turn back. [28:19] Finally, we continue to build on the promise of America the West Texas way. [28:26] We've unleashed America's potential by rebuilding our manufacturing sector, our agricultural sector, and our energy sectors. [28:35] As President Trump loves to say, we love our farmers. [28:42] And we love them here in West Texas, don't we? [28:45] Do we not love the farmers? [28:47] If you're a farmer in the room, stand up for us. [28:52] Farmers, stand up. [28:53] Taxes, we've slashed red tape. [29:12] We've fought to expand domestic energy production. [29:16] When Democrats sought to impose their Green News scam, which are false markets designed by and for governmental power, Republicans stood in the gap, restoring power to the people, baby. [29:34] Yeah, power to the people. [29:36] One of my favorite things, Republicans invested in our children and our future by establishing Trump accounts. [29:44] They're so cool. [29:45] Giving our children self-governance and a stronger financial footing for our future. [29:53] Security, freedom, promise. [29:59] These are the principles that are a guiding light that shine in each and every West Texan. [30:05] They fill us with hope. [30:06] They give us courage to press on. [30:08] Together, we are reclaiming our country and making America truly, truly great again. [30:15] We can't do it without you, ladies and gentlemen. [30:23] We cannot do it without you. [30:25] Now is the time. [30:26] The stakes are far too high to sit on the sidelines. [30:29] We've got to get you out to vote. [30:31] Ladies and gentlemen, we've got to get you out to vote. [30:34] Vote. [30:35] Grab your friends. [30:36] Get out there and vote. [30:37] Vote like your future depends on it. [30:43] Yeah, because your future does depend on it. [30:48] Mr. President, we as West Texans are proud to stand with you in this epic fight that we cannot afford to lose. [30:57] We bless President Donald A. Trump. [31:01] God bless the good people of West Texas. [31:03] And may God continue to bless America. [31:06] Thank you. [31:07] Thank you. [31:12] Let's go, West Texas. [31:20] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage Congressman for Texas 26th Congressional District, Brandon Gill. [31:28] And you guys are lucky to be represented for the past 10 years by my good friend Jody Arrington. [32:45] And you will be lucky going forward to be represented by my very good friend Tom Sell. [33:04] Doesn't it feel good to know that the greatest president in American history is about to be right here in just a couple hours? [33:11] I'm currently the youngest Republican in the House of Representatives. [33:23] And the problem is that in the House you're considered young if you're below the age of about 80 right now. [33:35] But we're still getting some work done. [33:40] You know, one of my favorite things in the House is bringing Democrats and crazy leftists before our committees to ask them questions about the things that they're doing. [33:50] About the things that they're doing with our tax dollars or how they're abusing the American people. [33:58] And I want to tell you about one of those interactions because I think it tells you where the Democrat Party is at right now. [34:07] Not long ago, we brought in to examine the impact of sanctuary jurisdictions, a governor of a sanctuary state, a man by the name of J.B. Pritzker. [34:19] And this is somebody who's spending a lot of money in Texas right now. [34:26] This is somebody who is kind of a big, big, big player in Democrat politics. [34:31] And we bring him in and I ask him about Illinois being a sanctuary state and what that means for the people of Illinois. [34:42] Ultimately, what it means for the people of Texas, how it makes our communities less safe as well. [34:49] We brought him in and I decided I was going to ask him about some of the other things that he had been promoting. [34:53] So I asked him, I said, Governor, thank you for being here. [34:58] Should men be able to use women's bathrooms? [35:01] I think that's an easy question to answer. [35:06] He certainly did not, though. [35:09] And he gets really angry at me. [35:11] So I said, Governor, it's a straightforward question. [35:13] Should men be able to use women's restrooms? [35:17] And he wouldn't answer. [35:18] And I said, Governor, I've got this tweet that you had put out where you had said that to protest President Trump, [35:25] everybody should use the opposite gender's bathroom. [35:27] When I saw that, I thought, that's weird. [35:33] Normal people don't talk like that. [35:37] So I said, Governor, you encouraged everybody else to use the women's restroom. [35:41] So let me ask you this. [35:43] Have you ever used the women's restroom? [35:45] He didn't like that question. [35:58] He got really angry at me and he starts getting worked up. [36:01] I said, and finally he says, no, I've never used the women's restroom. [36:06] And I said, OK, see, you just told everybody else to do it, but you wouldn't do it. [36:11] And I said, Governor, did you ever think that maybe women don't want you in their bathrooms? [36:17] I reminded him that there could have been underage girls in the bathrooms that you're telling men to go into. [36:33] This stuff gets dark really, really fast. [36:37] But that's where the Democrat Party is at right now. [36:40] And that's why every single one of you is here right now. [36:43] Because we love this country and we do not want to allow the left to completely destroy and transform it. [36:59] And that's not just political hyperbole. [37:02] The Democrat Party right now is running on a platform of tearing our Constitution apart. [37:09] They are openly running on a platform of abolishing the United States Senate, [37:15] of abolishing the presidency, of either packing the Supreme Court or abolishing it outright. [37:20] You know, we live in the greatest country in the history of the world, [37:26] but it will only remain great if we fight to keep it great and make sure that those lunatics never get in power again. [37:34] And that's because we love this country. [37:44] But it's amazing whenever you look on the other side of the aisle and you see the way they view this country. [37:51] You know, whenever all of us, I think, look at an American flag, we swell up with pride. [37:57] And we think of our parents and our grandparents and our great-grandparents and our ancestors who built this country, [38:03] who settled the West, who put a man on the moon, [38:07] who fought against fascism and communism and fought to keep the free world free. [38:12] But whenever Democrats like James Tallarico look at the American flag, [38:20] in his own words, he views it as a complicated symbol. [38:29] I don't think there's anything complicated about loving the greatest nation in the world. [38:37] But I think on a core level, that's because Democrats like James Tallarico disdain the American people. [38:54] Tallarico, in his own words, has had to struggle and reckon with his whiteness and his masculinity. [39:00] That's where the Democrat Party is at right now. [39:06] And I'll tell you, this is not the Democrat Party of your parents and grandparents, that's for sure. [39:12] This is the Democrat Party who will condescendingly lecture you about the color of your skin [39:17] instead of pursuing policies that will make your life better. [39:21] I think what many people, myself included, find most offensive about James Tallarico is that... [39:40] That's right, James Tallarico. [39:42] It's that he will take your most deeply cherished beliefs, your Christian faith, [39:59] and he will hollow them out, twist them and contort them, and then wear them like a skin suit. [40:07] This is somebody, if you remember, who wrote a letter to then-President Joe Biden not long ago, [40:17] asking him if he would allow abortions to be performed in federal buildings. [40:23] That's pretty bizarre, I think. [40:27] And that's because this is somebody who will take Holy Scripture and pervert it [40:33] to publicly say that he thinks that God is pro-abortion. [40:39] It's disgusting. [40:49] This is somebody who wants to, as a matter of policy, completely transform our nation. [40:56] Somebody who said that he wants to put a welcome mat on our southern border. [41:00] Which, by the way, let me tell you what that means. [41:05] Putting a welcome mat on our southern border is a euphemistic way of saying that his policies [41:11] will flood communities like Lubbock, Texas, with some of the most violent, ruthless, [41:16] and bloodthirsty drug cartels and gang members in the world. [41:20] Because that's what the Democrats did under the Biden administration. [41:28] And I don't know about you, but I am so sick of Democrats trying to sell my country to foreigners. [41:36] Never allow Democrats to inflict the same hell on our country that they did under the Biden administration. [42:12] And we won't allow them because we're going to make sure that Ken Paxton gets sent to Washington [42:22] as the next senator from Texas. [42:34] Now, it's not just that James Tallarico is a total weirdo and a freak show [42:39] and will make your life tangibly worse if elected. [42:43] But Ken Paxton is the greatest attorney general in this state's history. [42:49] This is somebody who has taken on big tech and opioid makers who have been abusing the American people. [43:02] Somebody who sued to stop over 100 different cities across this state from raising your property taxes. [43:10] This is somebody who secured $10 million from Texas Children's Hospital [43:21] because they were trying to reimburse Medicaid for transgender surgeries on minors. [43:31] And somebody who sued the Biden administration hundreds of times for their open borders policies. [43:37] Ken Paxton is the fighter that we need to send to Washington. [43:42] Let me tell you what this election cycle is about. [43:52] It's really, really simple. [43:54] You've got two sides and a very, very clear choice on each side. [43:57] You've got one side of the aisle who is running on a platform of telling you that you will be made safer [44:04] if they can defund your local police department. [44:08] And you've got the other side of the aisle, the Republican Party, [44:11] who believes in local law enforcement and wants to keep American families safe. [44:15] You've got one side of the aisle who wants your taxes to go up [44:25] and would have voted against President Trump's big, beautiful bill. [44:29] And you've got one side of the aisle who wants your taxes to go down. [44:32] That's the choice. [44:33] You've got one side of the aisle who wants to use your tax dollars to pay for transgender surgeries for toddlers. [44:46] And you have one side of the aisle on the Republican side who wants to use your tax dollars [44:53] for national security and for roads and bridges and infrastructure [44:57] and things that are going to make your life tangibly better. [45:00] And you've got one side of the aisle that wants to reopen our southern border [45:08] and one side of the aisle who says never again. [45:18] And we are going to make sure that the lunatics on the other side of the aisle [45:22] do not acquire power again because I want my kids and my grandkids [45:27] to inherit a country that they actually recognize. [45:33] And I know you do, too. [45:38] So we've got one week left. [45:40] Make sure that you get out to the polls and you vote Republican [45:44] from the very top of the ballot to the very bottom of the ballot. [45:47] And let's make sure that we send Ken Paxton to Washington [45:54] to be the next attorney, to be the former attorney general [45:58] and the next United States senator from Texas. [46:01] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage [46:17] Congressman for Texas' 19th Congressional District, Jody Arrington. [46:22] West Texas. [46:47] What a beautiful sight. [46:51] Brandon Gill. [46:57] You think he looks like Clark Kent? [46:58] He may look like Clark Kent back here in Texas, [47:03] but he plays Superman in Washington, D.C. [47:06] He's fighting for you. [47:08] He's the future of this party, I'm telling you. [47:11] We serve on the budget committee together, [47:16] and Brandon has been critical in the committee [47:20] that was responsible for passing Trump's big, beautiful bill, [47:24] doing big and beautiful things for this country [47:26] and working families all across this land. [47:29] So thank you, Brandon. [47:30] Welcome home. [47:31] How about my man Tom Sell? [47:45] There's only one person more popular than him in West Texas right now. [47:49] Stand up, Kyla. [47:50] Let us get a look at the future first lady of West Texas. [47:54] Come on. [47:56] We all went to school together. [47:59] This is a good man, a strong leader who loves this place [48:02] and will fight for you, for our families, and for the future of this country. [48:07] Tom, you don't know how badly I'm ready to hand the torch to you, my friend. [48:11] Are you all ready to give a West Texas-style welcome to our fearless leader [48:22] of the once forgotten men and women of rural America [48:27] who are not forgotten anymore thanks to the 45th and 47th president of the United States? [48:34] Help me make sure he understands that this is no ordinary patch of dirt. [48:48] This is Trump country, y'all. [48:51] I think he may be on his way from the airport now. [49:01] Maybe he's made it. [49:03] Maybe he's backstage. [49:08] Mr. President, on behalf of the God-fearing, freedom-loving people of West Texas, [49:14] the cowboys and plowboys who put food on our tables and clothes on our backs, [49:19] and the roughnecks and roustabouts who bless our nation with energy independence, [49:24] welcome to God's country. [49:26] But, Mr. President, Mr. President, [49:58] West Texas doesn't just represent the breadbasket and energy basin for our great country. [50:03] We're the backbone of this country [50:05] and the bedrock values that made America the most powerful, prosperous, [50:09] and generous nation in human history. [50:13] West Texans are unapologetic about our faith, [50:21] unabashed in our love of country, [50:24] uncompromising in our defense of our freedoms, [50:28] and unwavering in support of you, Mr. President. [50:34] Friends, friends, we find ourselves once again on the eve of yet another consequential election [50:41] in the epic battle for the heart and soul of our country. [50:47] In the words of Ronald Reagan, [50:49] if we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. [50:54] And I don't know about you, but I feel the gravity. [50:56] Of those sacred words in this very moment. [51:01] We must never, ever forget [51:04] the four long, dark years of lawlessness [51:08] and chaos and incompetence [51:11] of the Biden-Harris administration [51:13] and the failed socialist policies [51:16] and the divisive and dangerous Marxist ideology. [51:21] They surrendered our sovereign border to terrorist cartels, [51:27] flooded our communities with drugs and crime, [51:29] waged a whole-of-government assault on American ag and energy, [51:34] spin us into the worst cost-of-living crisis in a half a century, [51:38] projected weakness on the world stage, [51:40] and they told parents that they have no say in what their children were being taught. [51:47] And they taught our children to be ashamed of their country and themselves. [51:55] Our nation, and our nation was weaker and more divided and more vulnerable as a result. [52:01] But by the grace of God, [52:04] but by the grace of God, [52:12] lest we forget who made America great from the outset, from day one, [52:17] the Alpha, the Omega, the Eternal God. [52:20] He's the one with his hand lifted us up. [52:29] I'm reminded that Ben Franklin, [52:43] old Ben Franklin stood up at the Constitutional Convention [52:46] when things didn't seem that they were going anywhere [52:50] and that we would form that more perfect union in that Constitution. [52:54] And he said, [52:57] I've lived a long time, [52:59] and the longer I live, the more I believe this to be true. [53:02] God governs in the affairs of man. [53:04] And if a sparrow can't fall from the sky apart from his will, [53:07] it's improbable a nation will rise apart from it. [53:10] And let me just add, [53:12] it will be impossible for a nation to maintain their greatness [53:16] without Almighty God's mercy and goodness and favor. [53:24] Man, I ought to just leave it right there. [53:26] I ought to leave it right there. [53:27] And just walk away and just continue to pray [53:31] that God rescues this great country for my children [53:35] and for your children and grandchildren. [53:38] But by the grace of God, [53:39] the American people said enough is enough. [53:41] They gave us President Trump, [53:43] put him back in the Oval Office, [53:45] gave him unified Republican leadership. [53:48] And folks, that has made all the difference, [53:50] and we're going to ask you to do it again. [53:53] Listen, I've worked side by side with President Trump [53:57] for almost 10 years now, [53:59] and here's what I can tell you. [54:00] He never stops thinking about you. [54:03] He never stops fighting for you. [54:06] And he never tires for doing what he believes is right for this country, [54:12] no matter what the cost. [54:16] As your proud West Texas representative, [54:26] it was my highest achievement to author President Trump's one big beautiful bill, [54:32] the most consequential legislation in modern history, [54:36] because we don't do small things in West Texas. [54:39] The largest tax and spending cuts in American history, [54:46] the largest investment in border security and national defense in our history, [54:51] the largest commitment in a generation to unleashing American energy, [54:56] strengthening the farm safety net, [54:58] investing in rural health care, [55:00] restoring work requirements to able-bodied adults on welfare, [55:05] and safeguarding our God-given Second Amendment right. [55:10] And so much more. [55:15] All of this happened because you showed up to the polls, [55:18] and you made your voices heard. [55:20] And make no mistake about it, [55:23] what the radical left would do if they had control of Capitol Hill. [55:28] In just this Congress, this Congress, [55:33] 206 House Democrats voted to let biological men compete in women's sports. [55:38] This Congress, 148 House Democrats voted against deporting illegal immigrants [55:45] who assaulted our law enforcement officers. [55:50] They shut the government down not only once, but twice. [55:53] The first time to give illegal immigrants health care, taxpayer-funded health care. [55:59] We spend $9,000, $9,000 per illegal immigrant in this country. [56:05] That's more than we spend for the most vulnerable American on Medicaid. [56:10] That's wrong. [56:11] The President knows it. [56:12] He's fighting against it. [56:14] And it's because you gave him a Republican majority [56:17] that we could do something about it in the big, beautiful bill. [56:22] Look, I think we're all clear about this. [56:29] James Tallarico would have been right there [56:31] along with these Socialist Democrats. [56:34] And he would be there because he believes in the left's radical reimagination of our country. [56:41] That's why he believes this stuff. [56:43] He fights for this stuff. [56:44] He votes for this stuff. [56:46] And don't take my word for it. [56:47] Just believe him when he says it. [56:50] And I quote, capitalism is oppressive. [56:53] Quote, white males are the greatest threat. [56:55] Quote, the transgender community needs abortion care. [56:59] Think about that one for a minute. [57:02] Quote, oil and gas is a relic of the past. [57:05] This is from a Texas lawmaker. [57:10] I know this. [57:13] West Texans will not be fooled by Tallarico's sudden center-left transformation. [57:19] We understand this. [57:20] No matter how much barbecue sauce you put on tofu, it ain't brisket. [57:24] Tallarico ain't moderate. [57:36] On the contrary, no Texan has fought harder for our freedoms, [57:40] for our values, and our way of life than Ken Paxton. [57:42] No attorney general was more relentless in defending our state and citizens against Biden's overreach and abuse of power. [57:52] Paxton protected our pro-life policies, our election integrity measures, [57:57] our state's sovereign right to defend our citizens, [58:00] our children against dangerous and divisive woke ideology that Tallarico was happy to push in our classrooms in this great state. [58:11] He never blinked. [58:12] He never balked. [58:13] He never backed down. [58:14] And I'm confident Ken will bring that same resolve and tenacity to the fight in Washington as our next senator. [58:22] Give it up for Ken Paxton. [58:24] Get to the polls to support him. [58:26] The president needs his help, and our country needs that kind of fight. [58:32] The outcome of this election won't just determine the direction of our country. [58:44] It will shape the culture and identity of our beloved state of Texas and its future. [58:53] That's why it's a time for choosing for Texans. [58:56] We're either going to preserve our faith in God and freedom, [59:00] or submit to the rise of socialism and a woke and weaponized federal government. [59:05] Friends, I don't have to tell you this. [59:08] President Trump is no ordinary leader. [59:13] He has exactly what we needed. [59:16] What God knew we needed for such a time as this. [59:22] In my experience, we know what to do. [59:34] We know what's right. [59:36] We know the policy of solutions to the problems that beleaguer this country of ours. [59:43] What we haven't had for decades in Washington is somebody who would fight like their lives depended on it. [59:49] Fight and follow through on the commitments that were made to the people that sent us up there. [59:55] That's what makes him different. [59:57] And you know what? [1:00:00] No one has endured more hate and vitriol, personal attacks, character assassination, [1:00:07] and political persecution than Donald Trump and his family. [1:00:11] And you know, he's still standing. [1:00:14] And he's still fighting for you and for me and for our families and for our beloved country. [1:00:21] That's right. [1:00:22] He's still fighting for you. [1:00:25] And you know why he fights? [1:00:27] Because he understands that's what this moment calls for. [1:00:31] And our calling in this faithful moment is to stand with him and fight for the future of our country [1:00:42] by showing up to the polls, making our voices heard, [1:00:46] and sending warriors like Ken Paxton and Tom Sell to Washington [1:00:52] to stand shoulder to shoulder with our president in defense of our freedoms and the great state of Texas. [1:00:58] Y'all, it's been a privilege of a lifetime to be your champion. [1:01:11] Thank you for letting me be your voice in our nation's capital. [1:01:15] I thank God every day. [1:01:17] It's been a labor of love. [1:01:20] I think we did some good together. [1:01:22] It's time to pass that torch on. [1:01:25] But I'm going to stay in the fight. [1:01:26] I guarantee you that I'm going to stay in the fight. [1:01:29] So God bless America and go West Texas. [1:01:38] I'm going to stay in the fight. [1:03:43] The fire went wild. [1:03:56] I went down. [1:03:57] The flames went higher. [1:04:01] And it burns, burns, burns. [1:04:04] The rain of fire. [1:04:05] Down. [1:04:14] The flames went higher. [1:04:18] And it burns, burns, burns. [1:04:20] The rain of fire. [1:04:23] And it burns, burns, burns. [1:04:28] The 45th and 47th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump. [1:47:16] A short time ago, we're going to defeat this Salafrico governor. [1:51:03] We're going to re-elect Dan Patrick as your lieutenant governor. [1:51:06] Thank you, Dan. [1:51:07] It's up and down the line. [1:51:13] And most importantly, we're going to elect one of the greatest attorney generals in the entire week and a half, two weeks. [1:51:40] I did more rallies than I've ever done for myself. [1:51:43] You're doing it for yourself. [1:51:50] So this guy, it's like I'm doing it with Ken. [1:51:55] We had so many wars that we successfully fought together. [1:51:59] But I do stuff with people I don't know that well. [1:52:04] But I like this because you know what? [1:52:05] He was. [1:52:06] He deserves it. [1:52:06] He was the best attorney general in the history of Texas. [1:52:10] One of the best anywhere in this country. [1:52:13] And the other guy does not deserve it. [1:52:19] He doesn't represent your values. [1:52:21] And as soon as that election would be over, I don't even want to say the words if he won because I can't believe it's even possible. [1:52:27] But you'll go off meat. [1:52:30] You'll go off oil. [1:52:32] You'll be letting millions and millions of people flow through your order. [1:52:36] And you'll also have no second amendment of him and his group. [1:52:40] You will have no second amendment. [1:52:42] It'll be destroyed. [1:52:45] So every single person has to go out and vote. [1:52:49] You just have to go out and vote. [1:52:51] And early voting is underway. [1:52:53] It ends Friday, October 30th. [1:52:55] So you can do early voting. [1:52:56] Make sure it counts. [1:52:57] I always say make sure it counts. [1:53:00] We know because we had, you know, we won three times. [1:53:03] We're only giving credit for two. [1:53:05] We did great. [1:53:07] All three times. [1:53:08] But the last time we made a two-picture rig, they couldn't do that. [1:53:12] They tried. [1:53:13] Use that statement anymore because last week I saw Kamala. [1:53:23] Remember Kamala? [1:53:24] Nobody knows her last name. [1:53:28] No, she said she was being interviewed and she said, no, we have to make the election too [1:53:33] big to rig. [1:53:34] She said my line, I can't. [1:53:36] They copy all my lines. [1:53:37] It's horrible. [1:53:39] But I'm asking you to pretend I'm on the ballot because when I'm on the ballot, we get [1:53:44] 49% more people show up and just pretend because I really am on the ballot. [1:53:49] No, the people, 49.2% if I'm on, and I really, when you think of it, we're all on the ballot [1:54:02] because they can take all of these incredible tax cuts and all of the things we did, the [1:54:07] jobs are the number one. [1:54:09] We have more jobs right now in the United States of America than ever before by a lot. [1:54:17] All of this stuff can evaporate with incompetent people. [1:54:22] So if you go out and vote, we're going to have a tremendous win in Texas. [1:54:25] And you can't have, you cannot have a guy like Salafrico because it's not even a question. [1:54:31] We can't lose the votes. [1:54:33] It's very close. [1:54:34] And they can turn things down. [1:54:36] I'll be vetoing like crazy, okay? [1:54:38] But I'd rather work on the positive side as opposed to the negative side. [1:54:44] So James Salafrico wants to get rid of your guns. [1:54:48] He wants to get rid of your oil. [1:54:50] Wants to get rid of your meat. [1:54:51] He can't stand the stuff. [1:54:52] Either he had a mental problem when he disappeared for 12 to 14 days, [1:55:06] or he was just grossed out, sick to his stomach and having to eat meat [1:55:11] because he never had meat before. [1:55:15] All of a sudden, they see him going to barbecues all over the place. [1:55:18] He's all over. [1:55:18] He's at so many barbecues and he's throwing up all over the place. [1:55:22] He's leaving. [1:55:24] I believe he probably got very sick. [1:55:27] He called it meat poisoning. [1:55:29] No, but you ever hear the guy, for his whole life, he's talking about, he's a vegan. [1:55:36] I used to say vegan, but my wife said, it's not vegan, it's vegan. [1:55:40] But he's been all, all his life, he eats lettuce and celery. [1:55:45] And then he gets forced for the vote. [1:55:49] I think it sounds like you have a paid protester. [1:55:52] Paid protester. [1:56:07] Your law enforcement acts very quickly. [1:56:09] Very quickly. [1:56:19] No, we, uh, he's not the guy for you. [1:56:23] He doesn't represent your value. [1:56:24] Yeah, we can't take a chance. [1:56:26] We can't take a chance. [1:56:26] I've never seen anybody. [1:56:29] Well, maybe the guy up in Michigan. [1:56:31] I call him Mohammed. [1:56:34] He goes by Abdul, Abdul Ramadan. [1:56:40] I called him Mohammed. [1:56:44] Then I found out his name was actually, his middle name is Mohammed. [1:56:47] No, he's, I would say he's changed, I would think, equally as much. [1:56:54] These are people, we can't have these people in the United States. [1:56:58] And with, with, with him, I don't know if we have to do it with Telefrico, but with the [1:57:02] guy up in Michigan, we're going to have to do the, you know, the test, the metal detector [1:57:06] test before he's allowed to sit every day. [1:57:09] He's going to have to go through a metal detector in the United States Congress. [1:57:13] We have people that should not be running for politics in this country, and we're never [1:57:20] going to allow Sharia law in this country. [1:57:24] We're not going to allow Sharia law. [1:57:30] But no politician in history has been more obsessed with turning young boys and girls [1:57:36] into just, they want them to be, he wants them to be transgender. [1:57:41] He considers them fantastic. [1:57:47] And you know, I said before, we just came up from Corpus Christi, we did one of these [1:57:51] before. [1:57:53] Where do I do, I have to like a state a lot to do two of these monster rallies. [1:57:57] To be more accurate, I have to like a candidate a lot to do two of these. [1:58:10] No. [1:58:12] But Talafrico stated that he loves transgender children, and that's all right. [1:58:21] Look, that's not, but you know, these children, if you check it out and see what happens, they [1:58:26] take them as young children, and Timmy leaves home and comes back Sarah. [1:58:31] And you know, oftentimes, most of the time, they turn 21, 22, 23, and they said, who did [1:58:39] this to me? [1:58:40] Who did this to me? [1:58:42] They say it, and nobody talks about it. [1:58:44] Now, the fake news, that's a lot of fake news, by the way. [1:58:48] That's a lot. [1:58:51] Every single one of them. [1:58:58] No, but some of them are good. [1:58:59] Some of them are good. [1:59:00] They're honorable. [1:59:01] About 6.2% of them are good. [1:59:05] That's a lot. [1:59:06] Congratulations, I hope you're enjoying yourself. [1:59:10] But we can't allow this, we can't allow this to happen to our country. [1:59:16] He's attended sexualized drag shows for kids, and he even said he is a favorite drag queen. [1:59:22] He knew the names of every drag queen. [1:59:24] And he was, did you see where they always said, who's your favorite? [1:59:28] Well, I like about nine of them. [1:59:29] And he starts rattling off names. [1:59:33] I don't know of any. [1:59:35] And not only did he state that God is transgendered, this is what he said. [1:59:43] He actually said that if Jesus Christ himself came and visited the Texas legislature, Jesus [1:59:52] would be promoting sex changes for little children. [1:59:57] So, this is not good. [2:00:01] Take a look. [2:00:02] Did they teach you in Sunday school that Jesus Christ himself was a radical feminist? [2:00:13] The American flag is such a complicated symbol for most of us. [2:00:17] God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. [2:00:23] God is non-binary. [2:00:25] You can't call yourself a Christian and reject the stranger seeking asylum at our southern [2:00:32] border. [2:00:32] I want to acknowledge that our trans community needs abortion care too. [2:00:37] There are many more than two biological sexes. [2:00:41] In fact, there are six. [2:00:42] For me, prophetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon with my own whiteness. [2:00:46] Our southern border should be like our front porch. [2:00:50] There should be a giant welcome mat out front. [2:00:52] Something that you love. [2:00:54] I love the trans children. [2:00:59] To the trans kids watching at home, I just want to say, I love you. [2:01:04] What would Jesus do if he visited the Texas legislature? [2:01:09] I think he would tell us, blessed are the trans children. [2:01:14] Oh, who's your favorite drag queen in Texas? [2:01:15] Oh my gosh, help me with that one. [2:01:17] What if we ran our world like we ran a kindergarten classroom? [2:01:20] Every one of our neighbors with a uterus just became the property of the state. [2:01:27] God is not a Christian. [2:01:30] I always think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity out of prison. [2:01:34] It's violence. [2:01:35] It's rich to me. [2:01:37] Defund the police is considered off limits. [2:01:41] We all know that Texas has been a leader in oil and gas, but in many ways that's like [2:01:45] being a leader in cassette tapes. [2:01:46] It is now existential that we try to reduce our meat consumption. [2:01:51] Our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign. [2:01:55] So the salt weapons get started on the table? [2:01:56] Absolutely. [2:01:57] All these ideologies stem from this crystal fascism movement. [2:02:02] We are trying to fundamentally change our politics. [2:02:06] The man standing between Texas and this raging, disturbed person, he's a disturbed person, [2:02:25] is a man named President Donald J. Trump, and I need the help of Ken Paxton in the United [2:02:31] States Senate. [2:02:35] So Telefrico is also an anti-gun extremist who has an F rating from the NRA. [2:02:42] You know what F means? [2:02:43] That means we don't allow any guns to anybody under any circumstances. [2:02:47] What are you going to do when you get that vote? [2:02:51] What are you going to do willingly from Texas? [2:02:55] Give up their gun. [2:02:57] Please tell me. [2:02:58] He supports banning the most popular firearms in America and voted to support a federal gun [2:03:09] registry to confiscate your guns and stop all ammunition sales. [2:03:15] As your Senator Ken Paxton will have only one thing to say to any Democrat who wants to [2:03:20] destroy your second amendment, it's called, go take a hike. [2:03:26] Go take a hike. [2:03:27] It's a term he uses. [2:03:30] He uses that term often. [2:03:33] If Telefrico gets in, he'll immediately vote to open the floodgates to millions of illegal [2:03:39] aliens, child predators, brutal killers pouring into Texas just like they did just two years [2:03:45] ago. [2:03:45] So two years ago, there's never been anything like it. [2:03:49] 25 million people during the Biden term, at least in my opinion. [2:03:54] I think they hold it down. [2:03:55] 25, they came in totally unchecked, totally unvetted. [2:04:00] Nobody knew anything about them. [2:04:01] But you could see when they were coming in. [2:04:02] These were not oftentimes very nice people. [2:04:05] I have to always say oftentimes. [2:04:07] But right here in Texas, shortly before my election, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungri, this beautiful [2:04:15] Jocelyn, remember how sad, walked to a convenience store in Houston as she was kidnapped, tied up, [2:04:23] assaulted, and horrifically murdered violently. [2:04:27] Charged with this heinous crime are two illegal alien members of the savage gang, Trendy Aragua, [2:04:34] animals released by Democrats under the policies of Telefrico, and his supporters. [2:04:41] They, that's what they want to do. [2:04:42] They want to release murderers. [2:04:44] No cash bail, by the way. [2:04:45] Don't worry about it. [2:04:46] I promised the people of Texas that I would deliver justice for Jocelyn. [2:04:50] And since I took office, we've rounded up, arrested, and deported thousands and thousands [2:04:56] of Trendy Aragua, got number one from all across our country. [2:05:08] They say it's the worst gang anywhere in the world. [2:05:10] The only thing good is that they make our gangs look like nice people. [2:05:16] You know, do you remember when Obama used to say, those people are not violent. [2:05:22] People that come into the country aren't violent. [2:05:25] They're the most violent people we've ever seen. [2:05:27] Jocelyn's mother joined us earlier today in Corpus Christi, and tonight we're honored [2:05:33] to be joined by the president of the National Border Patrol Council, Paul Perez, as we salute [2:05:40] the heroes of ICE, Border Patrol, and law enforcement. [2:05:44] Paul, please come up. [2:05:45] He is a fantastic guy. [2:05:47] Please come up. [2:06:09] President Trump, Lubbock, Texas is my hometown. [2:06:18] Lubbock, Texas, I told President Trump, this is Trump country. [2:06:23] But what I want to say to you today is that because of this great president standing here [2:06:35] today, the border is secure. [2:06:39] For 29 years, for 29 years and under five presidents, I've been out there securing this border. [2:07:07] And no one has given us the support that President Trump has given us. [2:07:12] Everybody talked about it, but only one president did it. [2:07:20] That's President Trump. [2:07:21] We all love Trump. [2:07:31] In order to make sure that our country never goes through what it went through under the [2:07:37] Sleepy Joe administration, we must elect these men here that are Republicans running for office. [2:07:45] They are the only ones that stand for law and order. [2:07:49] Ken Paxton, Dan Patrick, Maze Middleton, Brandon Gill, Ronnie Jackson, Tom Sell, Justin Burroughs. [2:08:03] These people have to be elected to make sure that President Trump's agenda can continue. [2:08:08] Because without President Trump, this country will go to hell again. [2:08:12] President Trump is by far the greatest president in the history of this country. [2:08:20] Thank you, President Trump. [2:08:22] Thank you. [2:08:47] I'm going to have to get him up to speak more often. [2:08:51] That was pretty good. [2:08:52] That was pretty good. [2:08:54] Thank you. [2:08:54] And he's fantastic. [2:08:55] You know, when we had the border czar, that's Kamala. [2:09:00] Nobody knows her last name. [2:09:02] Does anybody know her last name? [2:09:03] Very few. [2:09:04] Harris. [2:09:05] But we had Kamala, and she was put in charge by Slippy Joe Biden of the border. [2:09:11] And I spoke to Paul before, and I said, did she ever call you? [2:09:14] No. [2:09:14] Four years. [2:09:16] Did she ever come to the border? [2:09:17] No. [2:09:17] And they had a border that was an open wound. [2:09:22] That's what it was. [2:09:23] It allowed criminals from countries all over the world, they allowed their jails, their [2:09:29] prison population, to be emptied out into our country. [2:09:32] Murderers, drug dealers, mentally insane people. [2:09:38] It'll never happen again. [2:09:39] We're never going to let that happen again. [2:09:40] We're getting them out. [2:09:41] We're getting them out, but we'll never let it, we'll never let that happen again. [2:09:46] In breaking news, just last week, I was amazed to hear, it was revealed, essentially, that [2:09:56] Ilhan Omar, Ilhan, so her name, this is the name, Ilhan Omar, the one she used to get elected [2:10:12] and sworn into Congress, but rather, it's an entirely different name. [2:10:16] She didn't use her right name, it seems, and Ilhan Nur Sayed Elmi is her name, and it's [2:10:24] quite a difference, by the way, and the last name is incredibly also the exact name of [2:10:30] her brother, Ahmed Nur Sayed Elmi, the person they said she married and had lovely, lovely [2:10:39] children with, and when asked whether or not she married her brother, she said, not to [2:10:47] my knowledge, not to my knowledge. [2:10:52] I said before, in Corpus Christi, they asked me that question about my sister, did you ever [2:10:58] marry your sister? [2:10:59] I said, no. [2:11:03] That's a legal expression, you know, not to my knowledge. [2:11:07] When you're going to lie, but you're afraid you're going to get caught, the lawyers tell [2:11:10] you to say, not to my knowledge, that's what she did. [2:11:14] Therefore, because she used the fake name to be sworn in, I assume she will immediately [2:11:20] resign from Congress, and in the first plane, if they have an airport, I don't even know [2:11:35] if they have an airport, she's going to hop the first plane to Somalia, where she can [2:11:39] live happily ever after. [2:11:41] I watched this one come up. [2:11:50] So, she comes from a country that's got nothing. [2:11:54] It's considered one of the worst couple of countries in the world. [2:11:57] I can't think of, I can't think of a couple of bad ones. [2:12:01] You know how we learned? [2:12:01] Because we took a lot of people in, you know, we always, remember I made the statement, [2:12:06] shithouse countries, we have some bad countries, they seem to like to come into the United States, [2:12:12] we don't like that, we ended all of that, you know? [2:12:15] We ended all terrible, some terrible countries, but hers is about the worst. [2:12:20] All they do is go around, they have essentially no government, all they do is go around, kill [2:12:24] people all day long, pirate ships, kill people, I'm surprised they can pirate the ship. [2:12:29] They can only do it because our laws are so foolish. [2:12:35] Please don't ever shoot back, can you believe it? [2:12:37] But she was from Somalia, and she came over, and right away, as soon as she started opening [2:12:45] her mouth, I have constitutional rights, I have constitutional, and I don't like the way [2:12:51] this country is being run. [2:12:52] She comes from a country with no government, no council, no police, no anything. [2:12:58] It's not even a country, it's just a piece of land, and she comes here, and she tells [2:13:03] us how to run the United States of America. [2:13:06] It's not going to happen. [2:13:14] She goes, I have constitutional rights, right, little? [2:13:18] The arrogance, and you know who else is really arrogant? [2:13:21] The guy from Michigan, I've been watching him. [2:13:23] I call him Mohammed, it's Abdul Mohammed. [2:13:27] I called him Mohammed, not knowing his middle name was Mohammed, so I almost got it right, [2:13:31] but I'd always call him Mohammed. [2:13:32] He said, why does he keep calling me Mohammed? [2:13:35] I said, you know what, because I'm President of the United States. [2:13:38] I can call you whatever the hell I want. [2:13:40] That guy is arrogant. [2:13:46] I watch him being interviewed. [2:13:48] How dare you ask me that question? [2:13:49] How dare you? [2:13:50] I do that too with reporters, but with him, I don't know. [2:13:55] With me, I think it's a little bit softer. [2:13:58] No, he's an arrogant guy, and we're not going to let him be, we're not going to let him be [2:14:02] in the United States Senate, okay, working with Ted Cruz. [2:14:08] Ted Cruz is not thrilled. [2:14:10] Are you thrilled to be having him? [2:14:11] No, we're not going to let you have him. [2:14:13] No, he's a disaster. [2:14:15] Hopefully he's going to lose. [2:14:16] We have some big races going on. [2:14:18] This race, that race, we have a lot of big ones. [2:14:20] And I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised on Tuesday. [2:14:26] They're coming home. [2:14:33] They're coming home. [2:14:35] They're not going to let our country be destroyed by these radical jihadists, these horrible people. [2:14:42] Please inform the Speaker of the House of Representatives. [2:14:47] You didn't know his name. [2:14:48] His first name was actually James. [2:14:50] He's a great speaker, actually. [2:14:51] James Michael Johnson that the Democrat Party has just conceded her seat. [2:14:58] She's going to be out. [2:15:00] Ilhan Noor, Saeed Almi, her real name has openly admitted to fraud, and she will not be legally [2:15:07] allowed to be a member of that august body any longer. [2:15:19] So less than two years ago, the radical left Democrats handed us the dark age of America, [2:15:25] but we quickly turned it around, and we are right now in the golden age of America. [2:15:32] This is the golden age. [2:15:33] And no other president has ever accomplished so much in such a short period of time. [2:15:41] You know, what we've done is amazing because it's really even a long way from two years. [2:15:45] We achieved the most secure border in American history in the past 17 months, and this is [2:15:51] done by people that lean left. [2:15:54] Okay, they lean left. [2:15:55] To put it mildly, they do these stats. [2:15:57] Zero illegal aliens have been admitted to the United States government. [2:16:04] We achieved the largest drop in violent crime ever recorded with a murder rate at the lowest [2:16:14] level in 125 years since 1900. [2:16:21] Think of it. [2:16:21] And that's despite the fact that we've had a lot of people brought into our country, 11,888 [2:16:29] murderers, many of which committed more than one murder. [2:16:34] With all of that, we've gotten a lot of them out. [2:16:36] We're getting them all out. [2:16:37] We'll get them all out. [2:16:38] Toughest thing I have. [2:16:39] You know, we brought inflation way down. [2:16:41] I inherited the worst inflation in American history, and we have it way down now. [2:16:47] And when the war ends, it'll end very quickly, and we win that one. [2:16:50] Just like we won in Venezuela, we're winning here very strongly. [2:16:55] It could be over whenever I want it to be over. [2:16:58] Somebody asked me before, when will the war end? [2:17:03] Iran end. [2:17:03] I said, whenever I want it to end. [2:17:07] It'll be very quick. [2:17:08] But we have to have it end properly with total and complete, a total statement, they will [2:17:14] never have a nuclear weapon. [2:17:15] Number one state sponsor of terror will never have a nuclear weapon. [2:17:21] But in much less than two years, we secured commitments for $22.2 trillion of new investments [2:17:28] into the United States, the greatest amount of money ever invested in any country at any [2:17:35] time by many times. [2:17:37] Not even close. [2:17:40] And thanks to my tariffs, the tariffs, my favorite word. [2:17:47] I always say it, but I had to change it to fifth favorite. [2:17:50] You've heard me say this. [2:17:52] I said it's a favorite word. [2:17:53] It's made us rich. [2:17:55] It's brought all this money pouring in, because if they move their factories, their plants, [2:17:59] everything here, they don't have any tariffs to pay. [2:18:01] So they're all pouring in from Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, China, every place. [2:18:08] They're all building here. [2:18:09] This should have been done a long time ago, but it's made our country rich. [2:18:15] It also keeps our factories going. [2:18:18] They're not stealing us anymore, because if they do, they have to pay a big price if they [2:18:22] want to make our products outside, like Mexico. [2:18:26] They'd make a car, use very cheap labor. [2:18:30] It's okay. [2:18:31] I mean, that's the way it is. [2:18:32] And they'd sell it into our country with no tariff, and all our car companies were going [2:18:37] out of business. [2:18:38] That doesn't happen anymore. [2:18:39] Now they're all moving out of Mexico, coming here, because if they don't, they have to pay [2:18:43] a 25 to 50 percent tariff. [2:18:45] They're all coming in. [2:18:47] In fact, it was just announced that Audi, the Audi, Audi, Audi, is spending $40 billion [2:18:54] on a new plant. [2:18:55] They're all pouring into our country, jobs. [2:19:02] But think of it, it's $22.2 trillion, with a T. We've never had anything. [2:19:09] It's five times greater than the highest amount we've ever taken in. [2:19:14] And some of those people know it exactly, but they don't want to talk about it. [2:19:18] They don't. [2:19:18] And what it means is wealth for our country. [2:19:21] We've never created so much wealth as we have in the last year and a half. [2:19:28] Trillions of dollars. [2:19:30] As an example, is investing $600 billion in this country, 60 of it in Texas. [2:19:44] Apple. [2:19:45] They always made their product in China, right? [2:19:47] They made everything in China. [2:19:49] No, they're investing $600 billion in the United States, $60 billion in your great state [2:19:56] that I love. [2:20:01] You know that Apple, I mean, the one big knock that everything gets made in China. [2:20:06] Not anymore. [2:20:08] They're going to be, a lot of it's going to be made, a big percentage of theirs. [2:20:11] Can you imagine $600 billion worth of plants? [2:20:16] You know a $50 million shopping center, of which I built plenty? [2:20:19] That's a nice-sized center. [2:20:20] $500 million is big. [2:20:22] How about $60 billion worth of plants? [2:20:25] That's what it is. [2:20:28] And Texas Instruments is investing $46 billion in chip production in your state. [2:20:35] And we have $800 billion being invested in our country to make and produce chips, and it'll [2:20:44] take it away from Taiwan. [2:20:45] And we'll have close to 50% from zero, close to 50% of the chip visit, because they don't [2:20:53] want to pay, they don't want to pay tariffs. [2:20:57] And it is my favorite word. [2:20:58] I've said it's my favorite word, and the news goes crazy. [2:21:02] The media, the fake news media, they go crazy. [2:21:05] They said it's his favorite word. [2:21:06] What about God? [2:21:08] What about wife, children, relationship? [2:21:11] What about relationship? [2:21:12] So I made it my fifth favorite word, and now they're okay with it. [2:21:19] And the pharmaceutical company, great company, Bristol-Myers Squibb, is investing $2.3 billion [2:21:25] to build a state-of-the-art campus in Houston. [2:21:29] Eli Lilly is investing $6.5 billion, and billions and billions more in the country. [2:21:36] Cerronek is building a $3.2 billion shipyard. [2:21:39] You're going to create 10,000 jobs right here, and Toyota's investing $3.6 billion to move [2:21:47] production from Mexico to Texas. [2:21:49] That's a little switch. [2:21:54] You know why? [2:21:56] Because I told everybody, you can't build your cars in Mexico and Canada and send them [2:22:03] back in. [2:22:03] No tariffs, no charge. [2:22:05] Take away our job. [2:22:06] Take away our companies. [2:22:08] Take away our wealth. [2:22:09] Not happening. [2:22:10] So what's happening, like with pharmaceuticals, I said to Eli Lilly, all of them, you know, [2:22:16] we're going to get the biggest reduction in prices for pharmaceuticals in the history [2:22:21] of the world. [2:22:22] We were the highest priced, the highest priced drugs to the lowest priced drugs. [2:22:27] We went from the highest priced in the world to the lowest priced in the world. [2:22:32] That alone should win the midterms for Ken Baxter. [2:22:36] And we just announced two massive natural gas power plants of $14 billion and $22 billion [2:22:47] in a wonderful state that I want so big. [2:22:50] Oh, I love it. [2:22:51] I would, if you people got out and voted, voted for me, this guy's going to win in a massive [2:22:55] landslide against this whack job. [2:22:58] Going to win in a landslide. [2:23:00] Numerous leaders have told me this over the last number of years. [2:23:07] Less than two years ago, the country was dead. [2:23:11] We had a dead country where we were laughed at all over the world. [2:23:15] They were laughing at our president. [2:23:17] He couldn't find the stairs off the stage. [2:23:19] He'd look around. [2:23:21] He'd look left. [2:23:21] He'd look right. [2:23:22] I've got five pairs of sets. [2:23:23] Look at that. [2:23:24] I got one, two right over here. [2:23:25] He couldn't find them. [2:23:27] It's government. [2:23:27] They put a lot of stairs. [2:23:29] Got another one back here. [2:23:31] And if you had to, you could jump off the front. [2:23:33] It's not that high. [2:23:34] But he could never find his way off the stage. [2:23:40] In fact, you know, I gave a speech once. [2:23:41] It's really tough when you're being funny, cute, sarcastic. [2:23:45] Sarcasm is bad with the fake news because they'll turn it around like you. [2:23:49] But I imitated Sleepy Joe walking off the stage. [2:23:53] His speeches were extremely short. [2:23:55] They would last seldom more than a minute or two. [2:23:59] And then he'd always go like this. [2:24:01] And nobody knows what the hell it meant because it'd walk in the other direction. [2:24:08] But he could never find his way. [2:24:10] And I made the mistake of imitating his getting off the stage. [2:24:16] And this particular stage had walls on the back and the sides, stairs all over the place. [2:24:22] You remember he kept walking into the walls and had no idea. [2:24:26] And then Secret Service, these handsome guys, they came, they ran up, they grabbed him. [2:24:31] Come with us, sir. [2:24:32] Come with us. [2:24:33] This is what was running our country. [2:24:34] But I made the mistake of imitating. [2:24:37] I called my great wife, first lady. [2:24:42] Great first lady. [2:24:43] And I said to her, I said to her, I don't want to say I call her first lady a person. [2:24:54] First lady. [2:24:55] Oh, I would get killed if I said that. [2:24:57] First lady. [2:24:59] But even if I kidded about it, they would put it out. [2:25:01] So I'll just say, I said, Melania, who, by the way, has one of the hottest movies of the year. [2:25:07] Can you believe it? [2:25:08] The women like it. [2:25:09] The women like to go through it. [2:25:11] But I finished a speech in front of a massive crowd of people. [2:25:17] And I said, Melania, how did I do? [2:25:20] How great was I, baby? [2:25:21] Was I great? [2:25:23] Was I, can anybody do it like I do? [2:25:25] How good was it? [2:25:26] No. [2:25:27] There was something wrong. [2:25:29] What happened? [2:25:29] When you were leaving the stage, you kept bunking into walls. [2:25:32] You couldn't find the stairs. [2:25:33] They pretend they are just so tough. [2:25:38] So they, I don't do that stuff anymore. [2:25:41] I'd love to give you. [2:25:41] Somebody said, do it again, do it again. [2:25:43] I said, I'm not doing it again. [2:25:44] Well, I had the problem with our great senator from a place called Ohio. [2:25:53] I talked about, he was a great football player. [2:25:56] You know who I'm talking about, John Usted. [2:25:58] He was a great football player. [2:25:59] But nobody knew. [2:26:00] He's a very humble man. [2:26:01] He didn't break. [2:26:01] I would have bragged. [2:26:03] I would have said, I'm the greatest player that ever lived. [2:26:05] But he was great. [2:26:07] And John Gruden came up. [2:26:10] And he was, in Ohio, we had a tremendous rally like this with thousands of people. [2:26:16] You know, you have thousands of people who can't even get in here. [2:26:18] They're outside. [2:26:19] And if anybody would like to give up their seat, please let me know. [2:26:22] Do we have anything? [2:26:24] You have thousands of people. [2:26:25] They're watching Jumbotrons. [2:26:26] Not quite as good as being here. [2:26:29] But we love you outside. [2:26:30] Thank you very much. [2:26:32] They did it to me, the press. [2:26:36] This was a bad one. [2:26:38] This was a bad one. [2:26:39] This was really bad, what they did. [2:26:41] This was just a week ago. [2:26:43] So John is humble. [2:26:46] But he's very good. [2:26:47] He was a lieutenant governor for eight years. [2:26:48] Highly respected. [2:26:50] But he was behind in the polls. [2:26:52] And I was there to try and help him out. [2:26:55] Like, we have to make sure Ted gets in. [2:26:57] We have to make sure John gets in. [2:26:59] And so I went up to Ohio. [2:27:01] Great. [2:27:02] And I won Ohio also by the biggest margin in history. [2:27:05] I won all these states by the biggest margin in history. [2:27:08] But I won Ohio, the biggest vote ever gotten. [2:27:13] Not only by a president, by a politician. [2:27:16] But here, too. [2:27:17] And I said, what are you doing here, John Gruden? [2:27:20] He's a coach. [2:27:21] He's a great coach. [2:27:22] Great guy. [2:27:22] He was a very good quarterback in college. [2:27:25] And they had a championship team, national championship. [2:27:28] And I'm here to honor my teammate. [2:27:31] I said, who's your teammate? [2:27:33] He said, John Houston. [2:27:36] I said, oh, did he play football? [2:27:38] Yeah, he was an All-American. [2:27:40] He has the NCAA record for 17 interceptions as a safety. [2:27:47] And he was unbelievable as a player. [2:27:49] He was the fastest man, the best athlete. [2:27:52] I said, wait a minute. [2:27:53] You've got to be kidding. [2:27:54] He's, like, very quiet. [2:27:58] And I never really looked at him because it's never been my thing to look at men. [2:28:04] But I like men, but I've never been particularly attracted. [2:28:08] Sorry. [2:28:08] And what I do is I call, like, I'm going to call Ken up, say a couple of words, and he'll [2:28:15] say a couple of words. [2:28:16] So I call John up. [2:28:18] And, again, John Gruden had just, in fact, he said something that was amazing because he's [2:28:23] such a fine man. [2:28:25] And John used that as a senator, but he's running for reelection against a real sleazebag who got [2:28:32] thrown out years ago, defeated by Bernie Marino, who's a great senator. [2:28:37] But he was defeated, so he was thrown out. [2:28:39] Now he's running again against John. [2:28:40] And I called John up. [2:28:43] But John Gruden said one thing that got me, and I couldn't believe it because, you know, [2:28:47] it's such a high-quality person. [2:28:50] He said in the football games, he would rip people's heads off when he tackled them. [2:28:57] He was so tough. [2:28:58] He would just, I said, was he the best? [2:29:00] He said he was the best player on the team, and that's why I'm here. [2:29:03] I was surprised to see him. [2:29:04] I said, what do you do there? [2:29:05] I'm here to be with my teammate, John Huston. [2:29:08] He said, yeah, he was the best. [2:29:09] He was an All-American. [2:29:10] And a few people understood that when I started talking about him. [2:29:13] The guy shouted, he was an All-American, sir. [2:29:16] And so, but he was, he's a humble guy, so he didn't talk about him. [2:29:19] So I brought him up, and he started speaking. [2:29:22] Thank you very much, very much. [2:29:24] And, you know, he said a few words, and I was standing right here. [2:29:27] Studying him. [2:29:39] Because John Gruden, who's a great coach, one of the best, said that this guy's one of [2:29:44] the best players he's ever been associated with. [2:29:46] Best player on a championship team, All-American. [2:29:49] And I never knew he even played football. [2:29:52] So I'm studying him. [2:29:54] And I made the mistake of saying that I started off by studying his ass. [2:29:59] I just wanted to say. [2:30:01] And then I looked at his feet, and they were massive. [2:30:07] Then I looked at his hands. [2:30:09] He needs hands. [2:30:09] He said, nice hands. [2:30:10] They're fine. [2:30:11] He had fingers like sausages. [2:30:15] I looked at his hands. [2:30:17] I said, look at it, guys. [2:30:19] And then I patted him on the shoulder. [2:30:20] I said, great job, John. [2:30:22] He said a few words. [2:30:23] I said, great job. [2:30:24] And I hurt my hand. [2:30:26] It was like I was hitting steel. [2:30:29] But I made the mistake of studying his anatomy and explaining it to the audience. [2:30:34] And the audience loved him. [2:30:36] By the way, he went up 12 points that day. [2:30:39] He went from being down to being up. [2:30:42] Maybe I should do that with Ken Paxton, but I'm not sure your body is going to qualify. [2:30:53] I'm going to do it with Ken. [2:30:57] No, but I would say, so what happens is, so John leaves. [2:31:00] I told him, sir, everybody had fun, you know. [2:31:02] But the people appreciated it because they didn't know. [2:31:04] A lot of them didn't know. [2:31:05] 95% didn't know. [2:31:06] And the fake news did it to me. [2:31:11] They only covered the ass part, they said. [2:31:13] They said, this is news, cable freaks. [2:31:18] And I think ABC fake news, one of the worst. [2:31:21] And they said, what the hell was Trump doing talking about a man's anatomy? [2:31:27] What's his problem? [2:31:28] Why is he doing this? [2:31:30] Explain it. [2:31:31] He was talking about his ass and his feet. [2:31:34] What was he doing? [2:31:36] You know what I was doing. [2:31:36] And they know him, but they actually had me, and they'd only say, I studied his ass. [2:31:43] After that, it was to see where the power came from because he was a violent tackler. [2:31:50] Anyway, but they did it to me beautifully. [2:31:52] That's no different than walking into walls and saying, oh, my wife said, oh, my, are you [2:31:56] okay, darling? [2:31:58] So, no, they're fake news. [2:32:00] That's why I came up with that term. [2:32:01] That was my term. [2:32:02] We have a lot of good terms. [2:32:03] I could give you a lot of them. [2:32:05] Pocahontas. [2:32:06] How about Pocahontas? [2:32:07] Elizabeth Warren. [2:32:11] Elizabeth Pocahontas Warren. [2:32:13] We call her Pocahontas because she claims to be an Indian because her mother told her [2:32:18] years ago she has high cheekbones. [2:32:20] You know that? [2:32:23] No, when they asked her, remember? [2:32:25] She has high cheekbones. [2:32:27] They said, well, do you have Indian blood? [2:32:29] She spent her whole life using that to get good jobs. [2:32:32] I happened to be of Indian persuasion, she would say, because her mother told her she had high [2:32:38] cheekbones, so I came up with the term Pocahontas, and it destroyed her political career, actually. [2:32:43] She was leaning for president, and after that, but you remember she then, I drove her crazy. [2:32:50] But she drives everyone else crazy. [2:32:51] She's a whack job. [2:32:52] Remember the beer? [2:32:52] Oh, come on in, darling. [2:32:53] Let's have a beer together. [2:32:55] Oh, she's bad news. [2:32:57] They've got a lot of bad people. [2:32:58] That's why we can't afford to lose a vote to some freak. [2:33:03] We can't. [2:33:05] But, no, Elizabeth Warren's bad. [2:33:11] But she made a career based on the fact she went to all the best schools, all the best this, [2:33:15] that, because of the fact that she happened to be an Indian. [2:33:19] And then she did it. [2:33:21] She went out, and I drove her crazy, and she went out, and she had a test done. [2:33:25] Do you remember? [2:33:26] And the test showed her, and she was so happy, because they did find a tiny semblance, but [2:33:33] people don't realize it was so tiny that it showed you had no Indian blood. [2:33:39] In fact, it showed that I had more Indian blood than her, that I had more Indian blood than [2:33:45] she does, and I have none, unfortunately. [2:33:47] So she was 1,024th, do you remember? [2:33:54] And she was so happy, she released the results. [2:33:57] But it really said she wasn't an Indian, and then she went down the tank. [2:34:03] But this is the people we have to deal with. [2:34:05] These are people that don't love our country. [2:34:07] These are sick people. [2:34:08] Since the election, the stock market has set, and this, you know, it's much less than two [2:34:13] years, has set 88 all-time record highs. [2:34:17] Because your 401ks are 65%, 67%, 68%, 70% higher than what they were just a short while [2:34:26] ago. [2:34:29] And I want everybody, when you go out to vote, to remember two things. [2:34:33] I got your drug prices down 50%, 60%, 70%. [2:34:36] And I want you to, before you pull the trigger, because maybe you say, well, I'm not going to [2:34:41] vote for him. [2:34:42] I'm not voting for Ken. [2:34:43] Take a look at your 401ks. [2:34:46] And when you're 68% up, or whatever you may be, you are up a lot. [2:34:50] You know, under Sleepy Joe, you were 25% down. [2:34:54] And I have people coming up to me. [2:34:55] I have the policemen come up all the time. [2:34:58] I see a lot of police. [2:34:59] I love the police. [2:35:00] Got to protect our police. [2:35:01] They protect us. [2:35:04] But yesterday, I had a man, I don't even know what the hell he did. [2:35:10] He said, sir, thank you for the 401k. [2:35:12] I said, how are you doing? [2:35:14] My wife, for 20 years, calls me just a failure. [2:35:20] I've never made money. [2:35:21] I've always lost money in the stock market. [2:35:23] I'm up 67%, sir. [2:35:25] She now thinks I'm a financial genius. [2:35:28] And, sir, I want to thank you. [2:35:31] And it's true. [2:35:32] You know, he didn't do a damn thing. [2:35:33] The guy didn't do it. [2:35:34] We did. [2:35:35] We did. [2:35:35] A lot of these people right here. [2:35:37] But I want you to go look at your 401k. [2:35:40] And when you see that you've practically doubled your net worth in the last year and a half, [2:35:45] you've got to vote for Ken Paxton because he's part of the team, a great part of our team. [2:35:53] Under my leadership, income for hardworking Americans has soared to the highest level ever recorded. [2:36:01] More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country. [2:36:05] The poverty rate has just reached its best and lowest level in American history with African-American poverty. [2:36:13] Hispanic-American poverty, Asian-American poverty, Native-American poverty rates are all at their best and lowest levels ever recorded. [2:36:33] Remember Barack Hussein, Obama said, we will never be a manufacturer. [2:36:37] We'll never manufacture. [2:36:38] Really? [2:36:39] Exports have just soared to the highest level in American history. [2:36:42] And just out today, a little couple of hours ago, it just came out. [2:36:51] I'd like to give you a nice up. [2:36:52] Isn't it nice that you have a guy that can actually put things into a speech upon rapid notice? [2:37:00] That doesn't need to read a teleprompter. [2:37:02] Isn't it nice to know that you have a president that does not have to read a teleprompter? [2:37:08] In fact, I seldom do, actually. [2:37:10] Consumer confidence is up 7.5% in just a very short period of time. [2:37:17] Practically a record for the numbers. [2:37:20] That's a big number because they know we know what the hell we're doing. [2:37:27] But I gave those stats. [2:37:28] And the other night I walked off the stage. [2:37:31] I said, individual income is up to the highest level. [2:37:35] You are. [2:37:36] We have employment in our country the highest level ever. [2:37:39] We have more people employed today than ever in the history of our country. [2:37:44] I said, the poverty level is the best it's ever been. [2:37:47] In other words, the poverty level is better than it's ever been. [2:37:51] That's a big deal. [2:37:52] And I said, and our manufacturing has just broken every record. [2:37:57] And I said, ladies and gentlemen, vote for whoever the hell I was talking about at the time. [2:38:03] Goodbye. [2:38:04] And I walked off the stage. [2:38:06] And then I got in trouble because my people said the Secret Service was going crazy. [2:38:10] He left 20 minutes early. [2:38:11] So I can't do that anymore. [2:38:13] But it was quite dramatic, I must say. [2:38:16] No, because those are big things. [2:38:17] Think of it. [2:38:18] More people working in the United States than any time in the history of our country. [2:38:23] What else do I have to say? [2:38:26] What else do I have to say? [2:38:28] At the highest, you're getting the highest number we've ever gotten in terms of income. [2:38:35] All of those things. [2:38:37] Manufacturing. [2:38:38] So I said, thank you very much, everybody. [2:38:40] Good night. [2:38:41] They're there. [2:38:49] I got five stairs up here. [2:38:53] But with our Republican Congress, I signed the great, big, beautiful bill delivering the largest tax cuts in American history. [2:39:05] It should be called the great, big, beautiful tax cut bill. [2:39:10] You know, it's very interesting, these people, these Democrats. [2:39:12] So all my life, I've only changed that name. [2:39:15] I can't believe it took me nine years. [2:39:16] I just take the E out, put a U, dumb, D-U-M-B. [2:39:22] Most people don't know it has a B, it doesn't matter. [2:39:25] And I call them Democrats. [2:39:26] You know why their policy is so bad? [2:39:29] Their financial policy is just like, I want men to play in women's sports. [2:39:34] We don't want open borders. [2:39:35] We don't want transgender for everybody. [2:39:39] Their policy is so stupid, it's so bad. [2:39:43] But the bill, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. [2:39:50] And we made interest on car loans deductible, but only if the car is made in America. [2:39:59] We're not interested in, we love Japan very much, we're not interested. [2:40:03] Now, if Japan wants to build its manufacturing plant here, that's a different story. [2:40:09] They hire you, it's fine, and they're doing that. [2:40:13] Japan, we made a deal with Japan, they have to pay $600 billion to us. [2:40:18] We made a deal with the European Union, they were ripping us off big. [2:40:21] In order to lower tariffs, just to bring them down, they have to pay us, I think, Howard, where's Lutnik? [2:40:27] Where are you, Howard? Stand up, Howard. [2:40:29] They have to pay us $650 billion, right? [2:40:34] Pro. [2:40:37] He's a difficult man, very difficult, but he's a pro. [2:40:42] He knows how to make money. [2:40:44] And we made a deal with South Korea, $250 billion, right? [2:40:49] I was going, $300, sir. [2:40:51] No, they pay now to do business in the United States. [2:40:54] They don't think we're stupid anymore. [2:40:55] We've saved so many jobs. [2:40:58] The auto workers love us. [2:40:59] The teamsters love us. [2:41:02] The right to workers love us. [2:41:04] Everybody does, because we've never had any country like it. [2:41:07] And with the help of Senator Ted Cruz, our great, big, beautiful bill also delivered a record-setting expansion of school choice. [2:41:36] He's a worker. [2:41:38] I shouldn't tell this. [2:41:40] Should I tell these Supreme Court situations? [2:41:42] Should I tell? [2:41:42] Come on. [2:41:43] He's, so you know, I picked three Supreme Court justices, and it's very hard to get them approved. [2:41:50] I said, look, I have an answer to it. [2:41:53] Ted is a brilliant guy, brilliant lawyer, brilliant all that. [2:41:56] Went to law school, top student, everything, top credentials. [2:42:00] I said, I have an answer to not being able to get it past the Democrats or the Republicans together. [2:42:05] I would pick Ted Cruz to be the next Supreme Court justice. [2:42:09] I wouldn't have to worry about it. [2:42:21] I wouldn't even have to make a phone call. [2:42:23] The Democrats will 100% vote for it because they hate the guy and they want to get rid of him. [2:42:30] And the Republicans would 100% vote for it because they can't stand him. [2:42:36] They would like to get rid of him. [2:42:37] So I'd get 100% of the vote, and he would be a Supreme Court justice, and he'd do a great job. [2:42:43] So if we ever have a situation and I'm having a little problem with approval, we'll just put Ted. [2:42:54] No, he's been great. [2:42:56] He's been great. [2:42:57] We made the largest ever investment in the United States Armed Forces, $1 trillion. [2:43:01] We captured and brought to justice the outlaw dictator of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, who is now awaiting trial. [2:43:16] And we won the war in Venezuela in one day, and we're now working with them to produce millions and millions of barrels of oil [2:43:23] that's coming into the United States. [2:43:25] I terminated Barack Hussein Obama's JCPOA, perhaps the worst deal ever made, [2:43:33] or the Iran nuclear deal, as they would call it, which was a road to a nuclear weapon for Iran. [2:43:39] Remember when he gave them $1.7 billion in cash? [2:43:42] In green cash, they loaded up a Boeing 757, took out the seats, piles and piles of green. [2:43:51] That's when I knew that being president was powerful. [2:43:55] When you can take $1.7 billion out of the D.C. banks, Virginia, D.C., and Maryland, [2:44:00] they were stripped, they had no cash, put it into a plane and fly it to Iran. [2:44:05] And to try and bribe your way out of fighting them. [2:44:08] That was a disaster. [2:44:09] The guy was a disaster. [2:44:10] He was a rotten president. [2:44:12] We obliterated Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity with Operation Midnight Hammer and Operation Epic Fury [2:44:19] and defeated them militarily, financially, and otherwise. [2:44:24] And it will all end very soon. [2:44:26] Remember this. [2:44:28] We didn't start the war with Iran. [2:44:29] Iran has been waging war in America since 1979, killing our soldiers. [2:44:35] Remember the SS Cole. [2:44:38] Remember all the soldiers that they killed. [2:44:41] Or kids that are, you know, with no legs right now, sitting home with no legs, no arms. [2:44:47] A face that was blasted by the roadside bombs. [2:44:49] That was Soleimani. [2:44:52] Remember General Soleimani? [2:44:53] I killed him in my first term. [2:44:55] General Soleimani. [2:44:58] He loved the roadside bomb. [2:45:00] He thought the roadside bomb, 97% of the people that died from what they call roadside bombs, [2:45:06] where it blows up, blows the hell out of everything. [2:45:09] We actually developed a truck, a shield on the bottom. [2:45:13] There was two inches of steel. [2:45:14] It was shaped this way. [2:45:15] And the problem was it would blow up and it would kill everybody on the sidewalks. [2:45:19] The whole thing was a disaster. [2:45:21] But we put him to rest. [2:45:23] Past leaders should have settled this problem long ago, but they didn't have the courage to do so. [2:45:28] This should have been settled long before I came in. [2:45:31] But we're settling it now. [2:45:32] They understand that better than anybody in Israel. [2:45:34] And they now fully understand that they will never, ever have a nuclear weapon, ever. [2:45:50] And oil prices are coming down and gasoline prices are dropping to levels below. [2:45:55] By the way, with all of this that we're doing, our gasoline prices are lower than when Barack Hussein Obama, [2:46:02] our oil prices, gasoline, lower than they were with Obama and a guy named Crooked Joe Biden. [2:46:09] They call him Sleepy Joe and Crooked Joe. [2:46:12] Depends on the mood. [2:46:12] Depends on the mood I'm under. [2:46:17] And our leadership, the state of Texas, is now producing. [2:46:21] We have great leadership and refining. [2:46:24] You are refining, I don't know if you guys know this, more oil. [2:46:28] You are refining more oil than at any time in the history of our country. [2:46:34] Drill, baby, drill. [2:46:36] In the fairness that I don't want to say, this is another one of those traps. [2:46:46] I don't like saying it. [2:46:47] Because of the Middle East, you know, that when you say the last seven months you've produced more oil, more everything, you've made more money than you have ever made. [2:46:57] You know why? [2:46:58] What took place seven months ago? [2:47:01] The war. [2:47:01] Now, when I say it, they say, oh, that's so terrible what he's saying. [2:47:07] Our country is making a fortune. [2:47:08] Well, people have to pay more at the pump. [2:47:10] Paying more at the pump is going to come down really fast, okay? [2:47:13] But here's what's important. [2:47:16] It's really good. [2:47:17] Our country is making a fortune more than it's ever made. [2:47:21] The Middle East oil, they're getting it from Texas. [2:47:23] They're getting it from Louisiana. [2:47:25] They're getting it from Alaska. [2:47:27] We're making a fortune. [2:47:29] Now, people would say, you've got to be very careful. [2:47:31] Well, they'll do it anyway because they won't put in my little ending sentences. [2:47:35] But we are making an absolute fortune, more than we ever have. [2:47:39] And we've never done – Texas has never, ever done numbers like this. [2:47:44] And I looked at it and it said, for the last seven months, Texas has done better with oil and gas than – you know why? [2:47:50] Because seven months ago, we started – so, with all of that, the ones we care about are people at the pump. [2:47:57] And those numbers are going to start coming down very, very rapidly. [2:48:02] Tonight, I'm pleased to announce another historic action to bring down energy costs and unleash Texas energy. [2:48:17] Under crooked Joe Biden, Democrats crushed the small oil and gas operators. [2:48:23] There are small operators. [2:48:25] They're great operators, too. [2:48:26] I know so many of them. [2:48:27] With crippling regulations and methane that cause prices to skyrocket. [2:48:33] The methane problem. [2:48:35] Tonight, I'm officially terminating Biden's expensive and unnecessary methane regulations to save consumers and energy producers. [2:48:43] $45 billion in costs unlocked vast quantities of Texas natural gas. [2:48:50] It's 210 million barrels of oil. [2:49:00] And we've been working on this for a long time. [2:49:04] We were working on this with Lee Zeldin. [2:49:07] We were working on this before the war broke out. [2:49:09] It would really bring down the cost. [2:49:11] This was something we've been working on. [2:49:13] Statutorily, it takes a little while. [2:49:16] But if James Talafrico gets in, your energy costs will skyrocket. [2:49:20] He personally wrote, the Texas version of the Green News scam, which would annihilate millions of Texas jobs. [2:49:28] He has a Green News scam. [2:49:30] You know, we went through a Green News scam. [2:49:32] Windmills all over the place. [2:49:34] Well, you had your own problems with windmills. [2:49:35] Didn't they freeze? [2:49:37] You had a little problem with cold weather and the froze. [2:49:39] Oh, this, they are the worst, the most expensive form of energy. [2:49:43] They kill the birds. [2:49:45] The environmentalists love them because they think they know they're bad for our country. [2:49:48] But that's all right. [2:49:50] Name me one country that has lots of windmills that is solvent. [2:49:54] There are none. [2:49:55] You know who the solvent ones are? [2:49:57] The ones like that have Texas and they have natural gas. [2:50:01] They have oil. [2:50:03] They have coal. [2:50:04] They have solar. [2:50:06] Some solar. [2:50:07] Not those big monsters that they put up all over. [2:50:09] They kill all the animals. [2:50:11] You know, the animals jump on them and they fry because those black panels are hundreds of them. [2:50:17] They're hotter than yourself. [2:50:18] But those are the countries. [2:50:22] And China, as an example, I was with President Xi two weeks ago and he walked off. [2:50:27] He came off the plane. [2:50:28] He said, you have done an unbelievable job. [2:50:31] I get along with it. [2:50:32] Isn't it sort of good to get along with him? [2:50:34] But I get along with him good. [2:50:36] But you know what China is building right now? [2:50:40] Fifty-eight massive coal-fired plants. [2:50:43] You know why? [2:50:44] It's a very strong form of energy. [2:50:46] But oil and gas and all of these things that we're doing now, we're back so strong and nobody has more energy. [2:50:54] And by the way, with the data centers, you know, the data centers are now producing their own electricity and giving whatever they don't need back into your grid, which could never have handled it. [2:51:04] We're telling the data centers, pay the communities. [2:51:10] They have a lot of money, rich people. [2:51:13] Pay the communities. [2:51:14] By the way, some states like West Virginia, many states are dying for them. [2:51:20] But you know who really wants them? [2:51:22] China. [2:51:23] China will take everyone you turn down. [2:51:25] But we say, pay the communities. [2:51:27] We had a community, a little community, beautiful community in Louisiana. [2:51:32] Jeff Landry is the governor, great governor. [2:51:35] And they were picketing, you know, we don't want a data center. [2:51:39] And it was a beautiful building, beautiful, but, you know, it just got to be a habit. [2:51:44] And they settled with them. [2:51:46] They gave teachers $50,000 each. [2:51:49] And they paid people $10,000 in the community. [2:51:53] And all of a sudden they say, we want more data centers. [2:51:56] We want more. [2:51:57] They got to pay. [2:51:58] They're rich. [2:51:59] Ken, they're rich as hell. [2:52:00] Let them pay the people. [2:52:02] I don't care. [2:52:03] And once you do that, everyone's going to be saying, we want data. [2:52:06] But there are plenty of states that want them. [2:52:08] Texas should not be in a position where they're not doing it because you have a lead that's so great, you don't want to ever lose it. [2:52:15] But let them pay. [2:52:16] They'll pay your fortune. [2:52:17] They'll pay the people. [2:52:18] Let them pay the government, the people. [2:52:19] Lower your taxes, do all those things. [2:52:21] Do whatever the hell you want. [2:52:22] But don't turn them down because somebody else is going to take them and you'll be very unhappy in the long run. [2:52:27] We're also standing up for our great farmers and ranchers who I love here in Lubbock. [2:52:32] Which is, by the way, the capital. [2:52:40] I didn't know that. [2:52:41] The cotton capital of the world. [2:52:42] Who would have thought? [2:52:44] Right? [2:52:44] We eliminated the unfair estate tax or death tax. [2:52:54] We gave our farmers $12 billion of relief. [2:52:57] Let me just tell you. [2:52:59] So under the previous administration, they wanted to tax tremendous amounts of money. [2:53:07] When you have a child or children and you're a farmer and they grow up on the farm, you get older, you die, you leave it to your children. [2:53:15] And the government comes along and says it's worth a fortune. [2:53:19] Look at the lady nodding her head. [2:53:20] She knows exactly. [2:53:22] And it's sort of a little bit, you know, land rich or asset rich and not as rich with the cash. [2:53:28] But it's got big value. [2:53:29] So they value it high. [2:53:31] The kids go out. [2:53:32] They borrow the money to pay the tax from their friendly back who turns out to be not at all friendly when they didn't get their interest payment. [2:53:38] The bank forecloses, takes the farm away, and the kids commit suicide. [2:53:43] Many, many times that's happened. [2:53:45] You have no more estate taxes to pay. [2:53:49] And you have no more death tax. [2:53:51] It's a death tax. [2:53:52] You can leave it to your child or your children. [2:53:58] So if you love your children, what I said is very impactful. [2:54:06] If you don't love your children, just say, I bored you for about three minutes. [2:54:11] Is there anybody in this room that does not love their children, that will not leave anything to them? [2:54:17] Because if that's the case, I've just wasted three minutes. [2:54:20] Three minutes. [2:54:22] Who does it? [2:54:23] There are some people probably don't like. [2:54:26] Anybody want to raise your hand about? [2:54:28] You know, I had one person that really loved their child a lot, and they raised their hand. [2:54:32] They ended up going to the front page of every paper, and the kids have never spoken to them again. [2:54:37] They were just kidding. [2:54:39] See, they were being sarcastic. [2:54:40] That's why you have to be very careful. [2:54:42] Now they've lost their whole family. [2:54:44] Oh, I don't know. [2:54:45] Isn't that funny? [2:54:46] They end up being on the front page. [2:54:48] The kids never spoke to them again. [2:54:50] We gave our farmers $12 billion of relief to protect them from unfair trade practice. [2:54:55] And in my first term, I gave you $28 billion to the farmers. [2:55:01] Three weeks ago, I also signed an order waiving the off-road requirement for red-dyed diesel, [2:55:11] allowing farmers, truckers, and anyone else to fill up with red-dyed diesel totally tax-free. [2:55:18] That's a big save. [2:55:21] Any typical trucker or farmer will save hundreds of dollars every time, many, many dollars every time you fill up. [2:55:28] You know what else I did? [2:55:30] I pardoned people who were in jail. [2:55:33] You know why? [2:55:34] Because they fixed their truck. [2:55:36] You know that? [2:55:36] Does anyone know that? [2:55:38] You know, I said it last night in Mississippi. [2:55:40] We had a great crowd of people. [2:55:42] And nobody knew what the hell I was talking about. [2:55:44] Do you know that if you fix your own truck, they put you in jail? [2:55:48] I pardoned numerous people about two, three months ago. [2:55:52] I said, tell me what this pardon's about, please. [2:55:55] You don't have these guys there, good guys. [2:55:57] Sir, he was caught fixing his truck. [2:55:59] He's fixed it all his life, sir. [2:56:02] But he didn't bring it to a certified, authorized agent. [2:56:07] I said, what the hell are they doing? [2:56:08] I guess they're saying that if you fix your own, you may disable all of the environmental horseshit that they put onto the engines. [2:56:18] Which we have gotten rid of. [2:56:28] You don't have to. [2:56:29] You know, I buy a lot of farm equipment. [2:56:32] I have clubs all over the place. [2:56:33] I buy a lot. [2:56:35] And I'd always want really old equipment before they destroyed it with all the crap they put on. [2:56:40] You have to go to MIT to learn how to turn on a lawnmower. [2:56:43] You have to become a doctor of science in order to start your lawnmower. [2:56:50] And when that thing broke, your lawnmower was rendered useless. [2:56:55] It would never be allowed to start. [2:56:57] What they did to our country is just crazy. [2:56:59] Anyway, but few people knew in Mississippi. [2:57:02] I said, what the hell am I doing this for? [2:57:03] Nobody even knows about it. [2:57:05] No, you go to jail if you fix your car or truck. [2:57:09] Not allowed to do it. [2:57:10] I thought they were kidding me. [2:57:11] I have some brilliant lawyers over here. [2:57:13] Yale, Harvard. [2:57:15] Number one at Harvard, number one at Princeton. [2:57:17] Where's Will? [2:57:17] Where are you, Will? [2:57:19] Where the hell are you? [2:57:19] There he is. [2:57:20] He's a shy person, but he was a good student. [2:57:23] He said, no, sir, when somebody fixes their car, they are sentenced to five years in prison. [2:57:30] Now, do you believe this? [2:57:31] This is the crazy country we had. [2:57:33] And here's the problem. [2:57:34] The people that they took it to were usually young kids learning. [2:57:37] They didn't know crap about your engine. [2:57:39] They couldn't fix it. [2:57:40] The farmer could fix it in two minutes. [2:57:43] He got four years in jail. [2:57:45] So I released a whole bunch of them. [2:57:49] I released a whole bunch. [2:57:51] I pardoned them. [2:57:51] I gave them a complete pardon. [2:57:54] Last week, I also announced the Harvest Fuel Relief Program, providing our farmers with [2:57:59] $8 billion to offset diesel costs in the harvest season, which is a big deal. [2:58:04] And starting on day one of my administration, we abolish all discriminatory, diversity, equity, [2:58:14] and inclusion policies throughout the federal government. [2:58:17] We got critical race theory and transgender insanity out of schools, and we made English [2:58:25] the official language of the United States of America. [2:58:30] It's complicated. [2:58:37] It's all about common sense when you think, you know, we're conservative, we're whatever. [2:58:43] It's really not about, it's about common sense. [2:58:46] Ninety-nine percent. [2:58:47] Our country is doing so well under Republican leadership that only I can make this promise [2:58:53] to you. [2:58:53] If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate, that's and, remember, House [2:59:01] and Senate, I am going to give all adult citizens in the United States $5,000. [2:59:08] We can do that because we're taking in massive amounts of money through tariffs and record-setting [2:59:24] economic success. [2:59:25] But the Democrats won't be able to because their policies are so sad and sick and the opposite. [2:59:33] In fact, I would predict, and I certainly hope that doesn't happen, I hope they don't [2:59:38] win, but if the Democrats ever won, you will have a 1929-style economic depression. [2:59:43] That's what's going to happen in this country. [2:59:46] If the Republicans win, you will each have $5,000 in your pocket and economic success for [2:59:53] a country like we have never seen, never thought even possible. [2:59:58] And, you know, they like to say, well, he'll never be able to pull it off. [3:00:03] Well, I just did it less than a year ago. [3:00:06] Remember, just recently I gave all members of the United States military $1,776. [3:00:15] And everyone said, it can't be done. [3:00:20] They all said it can't be. [3:00:21] It was $1,775, actually. [3:00:24] I said to the generals, you know they deserve it. [3:00:25] Man, they've done a great job. [3:00:27] They had to suffer on the sleepy Joe. [3:00:29] They had to be degraded in every way. [3:00:32] So they came back. [3:00:34] I said, how much can we give them? [3:00:35] Sir, you could do $1,775. [3:00:38] I said, General, three guys. [3:00:41] I won't get into the best looking because I'll go back to the others. [3:00:43] I said, but they were three massive, beautiful, handsome generals in front. [3:00:48] Sir, you could do $1,775. [3:00:51] I said, General, do you know what you're saying? [3:00:53] You're saying $1 more and you're $1,776. [3:00:56] Can we scrounge it up, General? [3:00:58] Yes, sir, we can. [3:01:00] And we did $1,776. [3:01:03] And every time I walk by, that was less than a year ago, [3:01:05] every time I walk by a soldier, they say, thank you very much, Jody. [3:01:09] They say, thank you, Jody. [3:01:11] I hope they say, thank you. [3:01:12] You made a good speech before, Jody. [3:01:14] They say, thank you very much, sir. [3:01:17] But remember this, the $5,000 Trump dividend, [3:01:24] we'll call it a Trump dividend, is approximately $1 trillion. [3:01:28] But we have a record-setting $22.2 trillion that we want to pay off debt. [3:01:32] All the others will do that. [3:01:34] But that's being invested on $22.2 trillion. [3:01:37] The only caveat I have, so we'll get it done very easily, quickly, [3:01:43] is that you have to spend the money in the United States of America. [3:01:52] Recycle. [3:01:54] You have to spend it here. [3:01:56] We can't say, because the wife gets five also. [3:01:59] If you have a husband-wife, it's five and five. [3:02:01] That's pretty good. [3:02:02] All you have to do is vote Republican. [3:02:05] You should do that anyway. [3:02:07] But I think you deserve it, to be honest with you. [3:02:09] But all you have to do, but here's the thing. [3:02:12] We don't want you going to China, Japan, South Korea. [3:02:16] We certainly don't want you going to France. [3:02:19] Would anybody like to go up in the Eiffel Tower and watch things burn? [3:02:24] I don't know. [3:02:25] It would have been, maybe France would have been good a few weeks ago. [3:02:29] But we're not going to let that happen to our country, I'll tell you that. [3:02:32] You know what that's all about? [3:02:33] It's about immigration. [3:02:36] You know, they said, oh, it's about schools. [3:02:39] It's about schools. [3:02:40] The schools aren't clean. [3:02:42] They're not this. [3:02:43] It's a lot of crap. [3:02:43] It's about immigration. [3:02:45] People who are allowed into the country, who hate the French people, who hate their buildings, [3:02:50] hate their art, hate everything about France, and hate everything about other countries. [3:02:56] It's happening now in Italy. [3:02:57] It's happening all over. [3:02:59] And that's why I love having a damn closed border. [3:03:01] We're not letting these people in. [3:03:03] It's all about immigration. [3:03:09] It has nothing to do with school. [3:03:11] They use that as an excuse. [3:03:13] The choice in this election is very simple. [3:03:15] You can vote for the radical left Democrat communists to loot your wealth, raise your taxes by $5 trillion, annihilate your borders, decimate Texas oil and gas, mutilate your children, and give 25 million illegal aliens amnesty and the right to vote. [3:03:33] But they want them, you know, the reason they're letting them in, they want these people to vote because they have bad policy. [3:03:39] They can't, you can't get, the only thing they do well is they cheat like hell. [3:03:43] And we got to watch that. [3:03:44] Or you can defeat the Democrat communists and vote for more money in your pockets, bigger paychecks for your families, lower taxes, less crime, a booming Texas economy, and no amnesty for illegal aliens. [3:04:01] But you must vote Republican. [3:04:04] Every single Democrat in Congress voted against our tax cuts. [3:04:17] Every one, right, Ted? [3:04:18] Every single, oh, we have the great John Barrasso here, one of the deans of the, oh, please stand up, John Barrasso, now we're heading big time. [3:04:27] Most, one of the truly, right, Ted? [3:04:33] One of the truly respected men in the Senate. [3:04:37] So, John, every single Democrat in the Senate voted against this, right? [3:04:43] I think in the House, too. [3:04:46] But every single one. [3:04:47] They voted against no tax on tips. [3:04:50] They voted against no tax on overtime. [3:04:52] They voted against no tax on Social Security for our seniors. [3:04:56] They voted against voter identification because they want to cheat. [3:05:00] They voted against proof of citizenship because they want to cheat. [3:05:03] They voted against securing our border. [3:05:06] We have, I built 2,000 miles of wall. [3:05:09] If we didn't have that wall, you could forget it. [3:05:12] They voted in favor of the worst inflation and highest energy costs in American history. [3:05:17] They voted in favor of transgender mutilization of your children and in favor of men playing in women's sport. [3:05:25] Oh, I'd love to do, I'd love to do the routine. [3:05:28] I'm in such a good mood. [3:05:30] I shouldn't be in a good mood after doing this all day long. [3:05:32] I've been doing this. [3:05:34] Only for Ken Paxton. [3:05:35] If he were a lousy attorney general, I wouldn't be doing it out there, but he was the best. [3:05:40] He was the best ever. [3:05:42] If he were lousy, if he were lousy, I wouldn't be. [3:05:51] I could be other places, but I do love being with you. [3:05:54] We're having fun. [3:05:56] We're having fun, but it's a serious subject. [3:05:58] You know, it's fun, but it's, look at it. [3:05:59] Back to the rafters, this big building. [3:06:02] It's outside. [3:06:03] It's such a beautiful. [3:06:05] A friend of mine said to me, very successful guy, but he's got a problem. [3:06:09] He's got stage fright. [3:06:11] Can you imagine? [3:06:12] He destroys people for a living. [3:06:13] He's a violent financial person. [3:06:16] He's like a very tough guy, but he wanted to run for office, so he wanted to run for the Senate. [3:06:22] He gave it a shot, Ted. [3:06:24] And I said, what was your problem? [3:06:25] He said, I had a tremendous fear of crowds. [3:06:28] He said, how do you do that, stand in front of all these people and all these fake news back there with all the millions of people? [3:06:34] And you speak like there's nothing to it. [3:06:36] I said, it's easy, because I get up and there's love in the room. [3:06:40] They love me and I love them. [3:06:41] It's true. [3:06:42] It's easy. [3:06:43] It's easy. [3:06:50] He got Lockjaw. [3:06:55] He couldn't get up. [3:06:56] He could destroy people all day long at Wall Street, but he gets up before a crowd. [3:07:00] He gets Lockjaw. [3:07:02] So what the hell happened to you tonight? [3:07:03] It wasn't pretty. [3:07:05] On election night, Texas is going to prove that America does not belong to those who hate it. [3:07:10] America belongs to those who love it. [3:07:12] And the only choice for the proud patriots of Texas is the greatest attorney general in the history of your state, Ken Paxton. [3:07:25] Ken, please come up. [3:07:26] Is it not? [3:07:45] Thank you. [3:07:46] Is it not awesome and amazing to be on stage with the greatest president in my lifetime? [3:07:53] So when Paul Perez was up here, I was thinking two things. [3:08:02] One, Paul, I just can't believe with a little leadership about the border that you were basically able to shut the border down overnight. [3:08:11] So thank you, President Trump and Paul Perez for doing that. [3:08:14] And the second thing I was thinking is I grew up in an Air Force family, so I grew up all over. [3:08:23] I didn't really have a home. [3:08:25] And when he said, I was a little jealous when he said he was from Lubbock, so I was kind of wishing I was from Lubbock. [3:08:31] So I've had the great opportunity today to spend a whole day with the president of the United States, starting out in Corpus Christi, doing a rally. [3:08:46] And then we, of course, flew on Air Force One, and now we're here. [3:08:48] And it turns out it's pretty fun to hang out with the president of the United States for a whole day. [3:08:52] So he said something to me as we were arriving in Lubbock. [3:09:03] He said, you know, I don't usually do two rallies for anybody. [3:09:07] But he said, I must really like you. [3:09:10] Mr. President, I really like you, too. [3:09:14] I am so grateful that he is making America great again, and he is working harder than any president I've ever seen in a midterm, [3:09:28] electing Republicans in Texas and across this nation. [3:09:31] So I have one, you know, I know the president is the leader of the free world, and he's our leader. [3:09:44] But occasionally we have good ideas in Texas, don't you think? [3:09:48] So I have actually, I have a suggestion for him. [3:09:52] So I know he has kind of two houses right now, one in the White House and one in Florida. [3:09:56] But someday he might need a second home. [3:09:59] What do you think if he moves to Lubbock, Texas? [3:10:01] I think you guys like that idea. [3:10:11] All right, I'm going to say this, you guys, the election may depend on West Texas. [3:10:16] You are the most Republican area of our state. [3:10:20] And so I'm going to ask you, for the next seven days, get every Republican out to vote, and we will win Texas. [3:10:26] God bless you. [3:10:27] Thank you very much. [3:10:41] We can't, we really can't lose it. [3:10:44] If we lose this thing, it would be a disaster. [3:10:45] We can't lose it. [3:10:46] And you'll be very unhappy because you, you have one of the greatest people. [3:10:50] And they spent hundreds of millions of dollars on him from bad people. [3:10:55] Bad people sent in hundreds, it's hundreds of millions of dollars. [3:10:59] Nobody's ever said anything like it. [3:11:01] Commercial after career, all lies. [3:11:04] So Texas needs to get out and vote for Ken, but needs to get out and vote for your governor, Greg Abbott. [3:11:15] Your lieutenant governor, Dan Patrick, who's been the chairman, stand up, Dan. [3:11:19] He's been the chairman of my campaign since 2016. [3:11:23] He's a great guy. [3:11:27] And he's a great guy. [3:11:30] Right from the beginning, he was chairman. [3:11:33] So I'd love to work on your campaign. [3:11:34] I said, okay, good, congratulations. [3:11:37] That was probably 2015. [3:11:38] It was even before 2016. [3:11:40] But he's been an unbelievable chairman of my campaign right up until now. [3:11:44] So thank you very much. [3:11:45] Thank you, Dan. [3:11:49] A great White House doctor, a great admiral. [3:11:52] He's just got a big increase in his rank. [3:11:57] Helps to know the president, but he deserved it, actually. [3:12:01] And a really great congressman. [3:12:04] He's done all. [3:12:05] He's done everything. [3:12:06] And he's respected, loved by everybody. [3:12:08] And he was the White House doctor for Bush. [3:12:11] And he was the White House doctor for Barack Hussein Obama and for me. [3:12:15] And they asked him, the fake news asked him, who was the healthiest of the group? [3:12:19] He said, not even a contest. [3:12:20] Yes, President Trump is by far the healthiest of him. [3:12:24] And I say, and I said, that was when I was just at the beginning when I was getting to know first term. [3:12:31] And I said, I don't know exactly who that doctor is, but I like him. [3:12:36] And he was a great doctor, actually. [3:12:38] He was a great admiral and doctor. [3:12:40] And he's a great congressman. [3:12:41] He wins by about 48 points all the time. [3:12:43] So, Ronnie Jackson, stand up. [3:12:46] Thanks, Johnny. [3:12:52] He was always there. [3:12:54] Always there. [3:12:54] What a wonderful guy. [3:12:56] And another one who's a real, he's young, he's handsome, which means I don't like him very much. [3:13:01] I don't like handsome young. [3:13:03] I don't like handsome young men. [3:13:06] But that's what he is. [3:13:09] He's a congressman. [3:13:10] He's respected by everybody in Washington for being a young guy. [3:13:14] He really is. [3:13:14] I think Jody was saying he's the future of the party, and he could very well be the future of the party. [3:13:21] Congressman Brandon Gill. [3:13:23] He's fantastic. [3:13:24] Thank you, Brandon. [3:13:42] Great job, too. [3:13:43] Great speech. [3:13:44] And you also need to vote for another. [3:13:46] We have a lot of young, good-looking people in Texas, I'll tell you. [3:13:50] Mays Middleton has been unbelievable. [3:13:52] We followed him right through it. [3:13:54] He did a fantastic job. [3:13:56] 30 generals. [3:13:58] Thank you, man. [3:14:00] He's fantastic. [3:14:02] Well, you have great people. [3:14:03] And Tom Sell to be the next congressman from Texas, 19th Congressional District. [3:14:11] Tom Sell. [3:14:12] Good luck. [3:14:16] Heard you're doing great in the polls, so good luck. [3:14:19] You've got to get out of vote for all your – I mean, I know them all. [3:14:22] We're in a certain section. [3:14:23] But you have great congressmen and women here. [3:14:27] You have just – in this state, they're warriors. [3:14:29] They fight and they win. [3:14:31] They know how to win. [3:14:32] And we're also pleased to be joined by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. [3:14:38] Speaker, our country is stronger and our people are safer because Donald J. Trump is the president of the United States. [3:15:46] Thank you. [3:15:53] Great. [3:15:53] Thank you, Marco. [3:15:56] I think you'll go down as the greatest of them all at that very important job. [3:16:07] We're going to – you know, when we're finished with Iran, maybe on the trip back, we'll just drop Marco into Cuba. [3:16:16] We'll fly him in by parachute. [3:16:18] We'll drop him in the middle of Cuba. [3:16:19] He'll solve that problem in about two minutes. [3:16:21] Now, Cuba's coming our way just like everything else is coming our way because we are a respected country again. [3:16:28] Another man who's been amazing, built a great business, he got hit really hard at World Trade Center. [3:16:39] He was at a – Cantor Fitzgerald, you probably know this story, top three floors of the World Trade Center. [3:16:46] And it was hit and everybody in his firm died. [3:16:51] One of the most successful Wall Street companies in the country, Cantor Fitzgerald. [3:16:56] He was the chairman, he was the boss, and his brother was killed. [3:17:01] His brother worked for the firm. [3:17:03] And, well, I'm hearing this now. [3:17:05] Is that okay? [3:17:06] Are we having – could that be Iran dropping some – do you hear that? [3:17:11] There's a lot of noise going on. [3:17:12] What the hell are they doing over here? [3:17:14] Is that excavation? [3:17:16] Excavation, demolition, or bombs? [3:17:18] It's one of the three. [3:17:20] But he's – he survived it. [3:17:23] And he rebuilt the company and his – he had a lot of luck. [3:17:27] You know, his wife wanted him to take their beautiful young son. [3:17:30] This was a long time ago, right? [3:17:32] But just prior to the attack, you never take your son to school. [3:17:36] For years, years and years, she was complaining. [3:17:39] She's strong. [3:17:40] She's a great woman, by the way. [3:17:42] And finally, after years, he happened to be – that morning, he took his son to school. [3:17:47] He dropped his son off at 8.30 and started driving down the West Side Highway, [3:17:52] and he saw the planes hit the World Trade Center. [3:17:55] It was the only time in years that he wasn't there at 5 o'clock in the morning. [3:18:00] You know, these stock people, the financial people, they get there at 5, 5.30 in the morning. [3:18:07] And he rebuilt the firm to be bigger, better, stronger than it was then. [3:18:15] And he gave a lot of the proceeds to the families of the victims, all of whom died that night. [3:18:20] And he had the top three floors. [3:18:23] They were unable to get out, including his brother. [3:18:26] And it's just a story that most people don't know. [3:18:28] But Howard Ludnick rebuilt the firm, gave a lot of the money, the proceeds, to people whose family was killed in the tragedy. [3:18:35] And he's been a great – he's been a great Secretary of Commerce. [3:18:41] Thank you, Howard. [3:18:43] Thank you. [3:18:43] It's an amazing story. [3:18:57] How many people could do that? [3:18:58] Very few people could do that. [3:19:00] Very, very few. [3:19:00] He's been doing a really good job. [3:19:02] Also, of course, Senator Ted Cruz, who's been – I mean, we had our fights during the campaign, [3:19:08] but we never fought for that little moment. [3:19:12] But he's a tough guy, and he's a good guy, and he's a brilliant guy, and he's my friend, [3:19:16] and he fights with me in a positive way all the time. [3:19:21] Thank you. [3:19:22] Thank you very much. [3:19:23] Thank you. [3:19:23] Thank you, Ted. [3:19:26] Great job. [3:19:27] Great job, Ted. [3:19:28] And it's sort of – I call him the dean. [3:19:34] He's the dean because everybody respects him so much in the Senate and everywhere. [3:19:39] One of the most respected men in Washington, Senator John Barrasso. [3:19:43] It's an honor to have you here, John. [3:19:45] I didn't know you were coming here. [3:19:49] And a man who made a great speech tonight, Jody Arrington. [3:19:53] Stand up, Jody. [3:19:54] What a great speech. [3:20:02] And he's a warrior. [3:20:04] These guys are warriors. [3:20:06] These guys are real warriors, the congressional people. [3:20:09] They have to be. [3:20:10] It's the survival of our country. [3:20:14] If they had a – if they would go along with some of the things that are planned, you wouldn't [3:20:17] have a country very long. [3:20:19] And that group of people that I just named, they're incredible. [3:20:23] Well, thank you, Jody, very much. [3:20:24] Appreciate it. [3:20:25] EPA Administrator. [3:20:28] You know, it used to take 20 years to get something approved in the Environmental Protection [3:20:36] Agency. [3:20:37] 20 years, 25 years. [3:20:39] People would start at young age and they'd put something in and they were getting ready [3:20:44] to retire and they'd take the vote and they'd lose the vote. [3:20:47] I always say 20 years prior to disapproval. [3:20:51] And Lee Zeldin is the opposite. [3:20:53] He's getting fantastic projects approved in Texas in a matter of weeks. [3:20:59] A matter of weeks. [3:21:01] And he's an MVP candidate. [3:21:02] He's fantastic. [3:21:04] Lee Zeldin. [3:21:08] A matter of weeks. [3:21:09] And a great person, a great man, and he'll go down. [3:21:17] I think when it all irons out, he's helped us a lot. [3:21:21] I put him on because he's very, very successful. [3:21:25] And he's known for two things, being smart and having a good personality. [3:21:28] And when you're dealing with foreign countries, I know a lot of great guys. [3:21:32] They're smart and they're great dealmakers, but they're not nice people. [3:21:37] They won't get along. [3:21:38] There'll be problems. [3:21:39] They'll probably end up in wars. [3:21:42] But this is a man that everybody loves, everybody respects, and he's done a fantastic job. [3:21:47] And you'll see the results very soon. [3:21:49] Mr. Steve Whitcoff, Special Envoy. [3:21:52] And Deputy Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Andrew Hughes. [3:22:05] Thank you, Andrew. [3:22:06] Thank you. [3:22:08] Thank you. [3:22:10] Texas Speaker of the House, Dustin Burrows. [3:22:15] State Senator, Charles Perry. [3:22:25] Thank you, Charles. [3:22:27] Lubbock Mayor, Mark McBriar. [3:22:30] Thank you, Mark. [3:22:33] Great job. [3:22:35] Chairman of the Board of Regions at Texas Tech. [3:22:37] What a good school. [3:22:39] A lot of good schools. [3:22:42] That's right. [3:22:43] What a great place. [3:23:02] You know, you always do well, and even people, they know they're in a fight when they're fighting Texas Tech. [3:23:08] They really, that's a great place. [3:23:12] I know a lot of people that went there. [3:23:13] I know a lot of people that were involved. [3:23:16] And I know some of the people that are in charge right now. [3:23:18] It's a great, it's a great school. [3:23:20] Texas Tech and former Texas Tech offensive tackle. [3:23:24] A great football player and a really fantastic guy. [3:23:27] Helped us with the NIL. [3:23:29] Well, it looks like we're getting that close. [3:23:31] In order to save college football and in order to save college is Cody Campbell and his beautiful son. [3:23:37] Get that son story. [3:23:38] Cody was a great player and his son looks like he's going to be, he's going to be bigger than you. [3:23:49] Your son is going to be. [3:23:50] He's an offensive lineman and a very, very highly touted one. [3:23:56] And two-time Super Bowl winning wide receiver, an unbelievable player, Danny Amendola. [3:24:03] Danny Amendola. [3:24:04] Danny was a courageous guy. [3:24:16] Wasn't as big as some of the other guys, but he had more heart than everybody. [3:24:19] You did it with heart and talent, by the way. [3:24:22] And, you know, I hate when they say somebody had heart because it's, you also need a lot of talent. [3:24:28] I don't care how much you had, but you had both and you did a fantastic job. [3:24:32] A lot of big, a lot of big receptions you made. [3:24:35] So everyone here today is part of the greatest movement in the history of our country and our spirit is stronger, I believe, than ever before. [3:24:43] We're the ones with the spirit. [3:24:44] I think there's going to be some big, you know, these rallies have been great because they've brought out far beyond this area. [3:24:50] We've got to many areas and they just spirited. [3:24:53] I've never seen anything like it. [3:24:55] And, you know, typically they say the president, whoever the president, Republican or Democrat, great president or a lousy president, they don't do well in the midterms. [3:25:04] Now, we're going to test that because I don't think any, I know no president's done what we've been doing for the last two weeks. [3:25:11] But, but it never, it never made sense. [3:25:16] It never made sense to me. [3:25:18] If you have, we've done more than any president in the first two years of history and that's us, it's not me, it's all of us together. [3:25:25] There's never been anything, the trade, the military, we rebuilt our military, Venezuela, Iran, you'll see Iran in a couple of weeks if you don't mind. [3:25:35] But all of the things we've done, the job numbers, the numbers, we have the strongest economy and we are respected all over the world. [3:25:42] There's never been two years, I ended eight wars, think of it, eight wars. [3:25:48] No president ended any war. [3:25:50] And we all did it together and I just want to show you because CNN did a couple of charts and because it's CNN, it's so unusual because, you know, they treat us pretty rough, right, no matter what. [3:26:04] And I thought I'd show you these charts before we leave and then we'll do a little conclusion, please. [3:26:09] Okay, MAGA GOP on Trump. [3:26:13] In the 2024 election versus Kamala Harris, he got 99% of the MAGA GOP vote. [3:26:19] Perhaps surprisingly, I might have thought it'd be 100%, but it was 99%. [3:26:23] Compare that to his approval rating now at the MAGA GOP. [3:26:26] It's 98%. [3:26:28] That is, there's been no real decline in MAGA support. [3:26:31] These folks say that they're going to vote for congressional Republicans come the midterm elections. [3:26:36] Again, that's the 99% that Trump got against Kamala Harris. [3:26:39] Look now, in terms of the congressional vote, 98% of them say they're going to be voting for House Republican candidates. [3:26:46] So that support is actually really holding up strong. [3:26:49] It's really, really strong when it comes to MAGA GOP and the Republicans holding on to that vote. [3:26:55] This one, okay. [3:26:57] The President Republicans Most Admire. [3:26:59] It's Donald Trump. [3:27:00] This is a historic comparison. [3:27:02] A majority of Republicans say, 53% say, he's the Republican president they most admire. [3:27:07] Ronald Reagan, who traditionally has won that much, Donald Trump nearly triples up on this, Reagan at just 18%. [3:27:14] And then Abraham Lincoln, who, by most historic accounts, is the greatest president of all time. [3:27:19] But Republicans say that the president that they most admire, by what is this, this is six, seven times as many, Donald John Trump at 53%, easily crushing Abe Lincoln at 8%. [3:27:30] And the Elon Musk showed that he was the greatest president as well. [3:27:33] I feel like this line might end up on a printout on his desk. [3:27:35] Thank you. [3:27:36] Thank you very much. [3:27:38] We had to put them on. [3:27:41] So, this has been so much fun being with you, really, as it's a great place. [3:27:46] Great place. [3:27:47] It's a great area of a great place, too. [3:27:50] In conclusion, if you elect a Republican House and a Republican Senate on November 3rd, we will continue to put America first every single day. [3:28:01] We will win on corruption and fraud, led by our great vice president who's doing a great job, J.D. Vance. [3:28:29] And the corruption is so pervasive. [3:28:36] Who would have thought? [3:28:38] You look at what's going on in Minnesota, California, Maine, so many different places. [3:28:43] It's so terrible, but we're taking in billions and billions and billions of dollars, and it's going to get to a point where you're not even going to believe it, but so sad that it was allowed to happen. [3:28:56] We will pass the No Invasion of our Country Act, prohibiting any future president from ever opening our borders to illegal immigrants again. [3:29:05] We will ban sanctuary cities and pass the death penalty for large-scale drug dealers, human traffickers, and anyone who kills a police officer or a member of law enforcement. [3:29:30] Identification, proof of citizenship, and the Save America Act to defend our sacred American election. [3:29:38] And we will enshrine in permanent law no men in women's sports and no transgender mutilization of your children. [3:29:48] There will be no mutilization of your children. [3:29:51] It's over. [3:29:53] Ladies and gentlemen of Texas, the golden age of America is upon us, but you must get out, and you have to vote, and you have to frankly vote Republican, [3:30:01] because the other side, what they've done to this country and what they would do to it, you don't want to know. [3:30:09] Early voting ends Friday, October 30th, so go out, vote today, vote tomorrow, vote whenever you've got to vote, and of course, November 3rd is the big day. [3:30:19] So we've already made unbelievable progress, and now we will reach new levels of greatness, and it's my honor to be your president during such an exciting time for our country. [3:30:30] We've been doing this together, we've been in love with each other, it's an amazing, greatest movement of all time in any country, the greatest movement of all time. [3:30:48] But we've been doing this together for 11 years now, and there's never been anything like it, and there never will be, I don't believe, anything ever like it. [3:30:59] We made America great, it was about make America great, we've made America great, now we're going to make it greater, than even now, greater, than ever, before, and it won't even be close. [3:31:11] So let's do what we do best, which is to win on November 3rd, we know how to win, we know how to win better than anybody, that's what we've been doing for a long time together, let's make the next two years bigger, better, we just want to make them better, stronger, we want to make them more beautiful for you. [3:31:37] We want to make it so good, because together we will make America powerful again. [3:31:44] We will make America wealthy again, healthy again, strong again, proud again, safe again, and most importantly, we will make America great again. [3:32:00] God bless you all. [3:32:01] God bless you, Texas. [3:32:02] Thank you, Texas. [3:32:03] God bless you all. [3:32:04] Thank you.
