[3:36] I said, that's a lot. [3:39] I said, how many are you looking for? [3:41] 15,000, so that's a lot of drugs. [3:46] Legendary companies have been making drugs right here in eastern Pennsylvania, building [3:51] the, it keeps our economy rolling, our factories moving, the streets roaring. [4:59] You work for this fantastic factory, the job you're doing here is incredible. [5:04] And I know you're applying for a big one, and we'll see how that goes. [5:07] We'll have to call up some people and see if it's good, if your price is right, if your [5:11] price is right, maybe we'll get it down a little bit. [5:13] 15,000 drugs, that's a lot of drugs. [5:19] That's what this is all about, it's greatness. [5:22] You build this country, and you're the ones who are making America great again. [5:26] We're the hottest country in the world for decades. [5:29] Because of this commonwealth, watch globalist politicians, let other countries rip you off [5:39] and close your factories, rob your jobs, take them away to foreign land. [5:44] Then they came along. [5:46] We stopped it very quickly. [5:48] Then we had a rigged election. [5:50] Then we had a rigged election, but they were so stupid, they kept everything. [5:53] They kept everything going a little bit for us. [5:55] And what we've done in the last year and a half, nobody's ever seen anything like it. [6:00] They put America first, they put China first, they put illegal aliens first, and everybody [6:05] else first but you. [6:07] And we put you first, like, a lot. [6:10] But at long last, you finally have a president who's putting workers first, putting Pennsylvania [6:16] first, and putting America first. [6:18] We're doing that, and we're doing that like nobody's ever seen before. [6:25] And starting on my first day back in office, and this goes all the way back to 2016, too, [6:30] but right from a year and a half ago, nobody's ever seen anything like this. [6:35] We're the hottest country anywhere in the world by a lot. [6:38] But I stood up to the great cheaters and cheaters and abusers and violators of the world like [6:45] no president has ever stood up before. [6:48] And now I'm standing up again because Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, if that's okay. [6:59] Point would have. [7:00] I placed 50% tariffs on foreign copper, a little bit of steel, so they couldn't come in and [7:06] save your jobs. [7:08] And sometimes even more than 100% tariffs. [7:11] They weren't going to come in from foreign lands and save your jobs. [7:14] If they wanted to come in, they'd pay 100%, they'd pay 200%, they'd pay I don't care what [7:20] it is. [7:21] They're not going to save your jobs, okay? [7:23] And they stopped. [7:29] And right now we have more factories being built. [7:32] And I mean car factories, AI factories, factories of every type that we've ever had in the [7:39] history of our country by three times. [7:42] That's because they didn't want to pay the tariff. [7:47] How don't you pay a tariff? [7:49] You build your factory here and you hire American workers. [7:52] It's quite simple, actually. [7:54] But as you know, I placed a 25% tariff on foreign automobiles. [8:01] And very importantly, I posted a 25% tariff on medium and heavy-duty trucks so that Mack [8:08] Truk could do very well with this factory in Pennsylvania. [8:11] American roads will be filled with American trucks very shortly. [8:18] Very few people are able to compete with us anymore. [8:20] They used to rip us off. [8:21] It was like we were a bunch of babies. [8:23] American labor worked with us, too. [8:25] I just met the head of your unions. [8:27] And they've been terrific. [8:29] They worked with us. [8:29] They're fair. [8:31] They treated us good. [8:32] And we can negotiate a little bit tougher. [8:34] What a hell of a year, you guys. [8:35] Those guys are great. [8:36] They're great. [8:38] I want to just say hello. [8:40] We've got to make sure you vote for our congressman here. [8:43] I'm not doing this for my help. [8:48] User. [8:49] We even have music here. [8:51] Within a single year of taking office, I slashed trade deficit, which added by the largest amount [8:58] in the history of trade, and we, by the way, have the biggest trade deficit cut in the history [9:06] of our country, 67%. [9:08] Think of this. [9:09] We had a trade deficit. [9:11] We cut our trade deficit. [9:13] If you're a president and you cut it by 1%, they say, oh, you're doing a great job. [9:18] 2% of your genius. [9:20] I cut it by 67%. [9:22] That's why you have all of these factories being built, and they'll soon be opening. [9:31] They're already opening. [9:32] But when those factories are opening, I don't know what you're going to do. [9:36] You're going to negotiate very good salaries, I can tell you. [9:39] Because they need you. [9:40] In many ways, they need you more than you need them. [9:43] American exports to the rest of the world are up by $150 billion. [9:49] You're going to wrestle a long way to make that money. [9:53] You're always going to have to put a lot of tournaments set to make that money. [9:57] Think of it, $150 billion up. [10:01] We never had that. [10:02] We always have losses. [10:04] We can't get much more than we said to have. [10:06] Now we're up $150 billion, and that's nothing. [10:10] Because when all these factories are opening up, Mr. Senator, another great senator you have. [10:16] Did you fight hard? [10:18] David, David, did you fight hard? [10:23] He was with me at I think every stop. [10:25] I said, where the hell is David? [10:26] He's right there, sir. [10:28] And he's working hard, and he's a great guy. [10:30] He's working very hard for you. [10:33] But a short time ago, we were a dead country. [10:36] We were laughed at all over the world. [10:37] We were a dead country. [10:38] People were laughing. [10:39] They were saying, what the hell happened to that country? [10:42] The king of Saudi Arabia said it two years ago. [10:44] I was over there. [10:46] He said, you know, sir, two years ago you were a dead country. [10:50] And now you're the hottest country anywhere in the world. [10:53] It's a little hotter now than we were then. [11:01] He then proceeded to announce that he's investing $2 trillion in our country, along with Qatar, [11:08] along with UAE. [11:10] Bahrain is invested. [11:11] Kuwait is invested. [11:12] But countries from all over the world, they're all investing in the United States. [11:16] Two years ago, they wouldn't even think of it. [11:19] They thought we were finished. [11:20] When I went to China two weeks ago, I met with President Xi, and we greeted each other. [11:28] And he looked at me and said, man, do you move fast? [11:31] Because they thought they had us. [11:32] But now it's really the opposite. [11:35] We are doing numbers that nobody's ever seen before. [11:38] So that's true. [11:39] It's true. [11:39] We had a great meeting. [11:40] But as you know, we just achieved a historic peace agreement with Iran to end the conflict [11:48] in the Strait of Hormuz. [11:50] And by the way, yesterday, 19 million barrels of oil flowed out of the Strait of Hormuz. [11:58] And we're beautiful. [11:59] That's the most oil in the history of the Strait. [12:07] It's never been anything. [12:08] You've never seen anything like that. [12:11] It's called an oil gush. [12:12] And most importantly, we are ensuring one thing, very importantly, because this is why [12:17] I did it. [12:17] I did it for this reason, 99% of this. [12:21] Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. [12:24] But remember, this wasn't easy. [12:32] We had 47 years worth of presidents and other people, other countries, too. [12:37] We're the only one that never did anything. [12:39] They were the bully of the Middle East. [12:41] And now we're leaving Iran with no Navy, no Air Force, no anti-aircraft, no missile capability, [12:50] no nuclear program. [12:52] We're leaving them without any nuclear capacity. [12:56] And they've agreed to that. [12:58] And we're getting along quite well. [12:59] Although, if you read the fake news, you never know. [13:01] Think of it. [13:03] The fake news. [13:04] They have no Army. [13:05] They have no Navy. [13:06] They have no Air Force. [13:08] They have no anti-aircraft. [13:09] We can fly over Tehran just at will. [13:12] Nobody's going to do anything to us. [13:14] And then I read the fake news. [13:16] They're doing quite well. [13:17] They're doing quite well. [13:18] These people right there. [13:20] Look at all of them. [13:21] All walked out as a opponent in the first round. [13:37] You have more. [13:39] You have more press. [13:42] But the Iran economy has been crushed, and the defense industrial base has been damaged [13:46] so severely that it'll take them many years to rebuild. [13:50] Many, many years. [13:50] And now we're trying to work out a deal that's fair. [13:52] And we also want to work out a deal. [13:55] You know, the stock market hit a new high today again. [13:58] And oil, for the first time in months hit, believe it, $70 a barrel. [14:07] So we got a $70. [14:08] That equates to a very low price. [14:09] And oil is going to come charging down. [14:12] And with oil comes everything else. [14:14] Because I inherited from these Democrats. [14:19] I changed the E for U. [14:23] It was very simple, a Democrat. [14:25] I don't know why I didn't think of that nine years ago. [14:29] I just thought of it about a month ago. [14:30] They're Democrats. [14:31] Because their policies are so dumb. [14:34] Men in women's sports. [14:36] You know, Bo is one of the great champions. [14:38] Tony, Tony, could you have taken most women in the heavyweight champion? [14:42] Who's the heavyweight champion of the world? [14:44] Do you think you would have had trouble with a woman of approximately your size? [14:49] You had to find a woman of your size. [14:51] Would have been okay. [14:53] What do you think, Bo? [14:54] Could you have handled it? [14:54] I don't think so. [14:55] What about you, Bo? [14:56] Could you handle a woman of approximately your, what, 182 or something? [15:01] Think there's a 182-pounder that could give you a little tussle? [15:05] I don't think so. [15:06] I don't think so. [15:07] He's such a nice guy. [15:08] She said, no, no, not real. [15:10] I don't think so. [15:11] When she looked at those years of Bo, when she looked at those years, she would say, [15:17] I'll take a pass. [15:19] She would say, I'm not going to fight that guy. [15:20] The average price of gasoline nationwide is down 60 cents a gallon just from a short while [15:27] ago. [15:28] And remember this. [15:32] Remember this. [15:33] We had to make this deed or we had to go to Iran. [15:35] You can't let them blow up the Middle East and then us, if that's possible. [15:39] We would have gotten them before. [15:40] But they would have blown up Israel. [15:42] They would have blown up the entire Middle East. [15:44] You want to see a bad economy? [15:45] That's a bad economy. [15:46] So remember that our oil in the middle of this conflict was less than it was for sleepy [15:54] Joe Biden. [15:55] And we're putting out a fire. [15:57] Biden, Clinton, Bush, all of them. [16:00] Barack Hussein Obama. [16:02] Have you heard of him? [16:03] Have you heard of Barack Hussein Obama? [16:05] None of them did anything. [16:08] Obama gave them 1.7 million in green cash. [16:12] Remember, it was 747. [16:13] They flew over piles of cash, 1.7 million dollars, gave them hundreds of billions of dollars [16:20] and thought they could rob them into pieces. [16:22] So the only thing they understand is what these guys in the front row understand is the hammer. [16:28] Because if you look at what we did to their nuclear capacity with those beautiful B-2 bombers, [16:35] that was truly a hammer. [16:37] In fact, we named it a hammer. [16:39] Operation Hammer. [16:40] But our economy is ready to soar to levels the world has not seen before. [16:45] I believe that, David. [16:46] I think it's going to levels that nobody's ever seen before. [16:50] All these factories are being built and they're going to be occupied and they're hiring people now. [16:54] It's going to be something very beautiful. [16:57] I don't know who's going to follow me, but remember that I was the one that did it, okay? [17:02] Somebody's going to walk into office and they're going to have the most successful country in history. [17:07] And they're going to be breaking what a great job they did. [17:09] And we did it in four long years of the Crooked Joe Biden administration. [17:17] They got less than $1 trillion of new investment. [17:20] So think of it, Crooked Joe. [17:22] What do you like better? Sleepy Joe? Crooked Joe. [17:24] Ready? Sleepy Joe. [17:25] Crooked Joe. [17:28] I like Sleepy Joe better. [17:33] They both did. [17:35] I used them both. [17:37] In less than one year. [17:38] So they did much less than $1 trillion of investment from outside the world. [17:47] Much less than $1 trillion. [17:49] We just got the final. [17:50] We had 11 months at 18. [17:52] But we just got the final. [17:53] $19.1 trillion in 12 months. [17:56] Can you believe me? [17:58] Investment from all over the globe. [18:01] And since the election, the stock market has set 73 all-time records. [18:09] In other words, yeah, sit down. [18:10] We've got plenty of time. [18:12] It's an honor that you all sit. [18:14] Oh, look who we have. [18:15] The wall. [18:15] Stand up, wall. [18:16] Look at this guy. [18:18] I'm going to get a suit just like that guy. [18:21] I bet he's been to 200 rallies. [18:24] Him and the, where am I? [18:26] Oh, look at my guy's front row Joe's. [18:28] I got these front row Joe's. [18:31] Where are the women from North Carolina? [18:32] They're here. [18:33] They travel all over the world. [18:35] I don't know what the hell's with their husbands. [18:37] These beautiful women from North Carolina. [18:39] They travel all over. [18:40] They went to 200 rallies. [18:42] How many rallies have front row Joe's gone to? [18:44] Hundreds. [18:46] Everyone. [18:47] And then it was very sad. [18:49] My last rally, I said, I better never see you again, right? [18:53] And then we won the election in a landslide. [18:56] And who the hell do I see? [18:57] I see my front row Joe's. [18:59] So I'm happy about it. [19:00] Thank you. [19:01] What a group. [19:02] We had some group. [19:04] We all over the place. [19:06] And when they didn't make the front row, it was very demeaning to them. [19:10] They were not happy, right? [19:12] But the front row, they became actually very famous. [19:15] Front row Joe's. [19:16] The typical 401k, as you know, is up almost $30,000. [19:22] It was 12 months. [19:25] It was 13 months. [19:27] It's up 44%. [19:29] Think of that. [19:30] Up 44%. [19:31] Because, you know, as goes the stock market, so goes a lot of your own wealth. [19:39] And I tell about this police officer. [19:41] I met a police officer. [19:43] First, I'm similar to the thing. [19:44] But now the numbers are even more. [19:46] I met. [19:46] I was in New York. [19:47] I met a great police officer in the New York Times. [19:50] And he said, sir, I want to thank you. [19:52] I said, for what? [19:53] He said, my wife didn't think much of me, very much. [19:57] We were having marital difficulty, actually. [20:00] She thought I was nothing. [20:01] I'm a police officer. [20:02] I'm a tough guy. [20:02] I looked at him. [20:03] The muscles were all over the place. [20:04] He didn't suffer from that. [20:06] But she thought maybe that muscle wasn't so good because he was always losing money in [20:11] the stock market. [20:12] And he said, sir, in the last year and a half, my 401k is up 74%, sir. [20:20] And she thinks I'm Warren Buffett. [20:22] She thinks I'm a super genius. [20:26] I said, how are you getting along with her? [20:29] He said, well, I'm not so sure I like her anymore. [20:31] But that's it. [20:33] I won't tell you that. [20:34] I refuse to say that. [20:36] He's going to go on just fine. [20:38] But a lot of people have come up to me, David, and they think there's 401k here in the stock [20:42] market. [20:43] Who has a 401k here? [20:45] Yeah, look, a lot of people. [20:48] More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country. [20:52] And we've created over 32,000. [20:54] Think of this. [20:56] 32,000 new jobs just starting in Pennsylvania alone. [21:01] David, you have to get better for that. [21:02] The last few months ago, we added 2,600 Pennsylvania manufacturing jobs. [21:14] And that number is going to go much, much higher as the factories start to open. [21:19] Because right here in Lehigh Valley, Eli Lilly has just announced a great company, by the [21:24] company, a $3.5 billion investment in a brand new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility [21:31] right down the road that's going to create over 1,000 jobs just that long. [21:36] Nokia is investing $30 million to expand its semiconductor testing and packaging operations, [21:43] thousands of jobs, thousands of jobs, and B. Braun has announced a $20 million expansion [21:48] of its medical device manufacturing operation in Allentown. [21:54] I love Allentown. [21:55] The place that votes for me, which is the entire state of Pennsylvania, the entire commonwealth. [22:08] Never make the mistake of using the word state. [22:12] Look, I'm not sure that people care. [22:13] The commonwealth of Pennsylvania, you voted for us at levels that nobody's ever seen [22:18] before, David, and you too, and we're proud of you, because you have guts. [22:22] This man had guts. [22:24] He lost one time to a tough candidate, and he did it again to a tougher candidate, and [22:28] I tell him, if he didn't win, his wife, who's a beautiful woman, would have left him. [22:32] I'm telling you. [22:33] Dina, she would have left him, so he had great courage to win in a second. [22:37] He was a very successful guy. [22:39] He was going to stand up there. [22:44] She would have left him. [22:45] I was so worried, because she's a friend of mine, and he was always a tough race. [22:51] He said, I was running against a guy 24 years, and his father was in for, like, 30 years. [22:56] That's a long time, and he had to beat him, knowing the pressure. [23:00] That's called pressure. [23:01] Knowing his wife was gone, and he didn't make it. [23:03] She was gone 100%, but he's married actually into a terrific woman. [23:08] She probably would have said, I'm not 100%. [23:11] And last year, I saved a great American company, U.S. Steel, and we're keeping its headquarters in Pennsylvania, where it belongs, and $17 billion has been invested by a great company in saving U.S. Steel. [23:26] So they were gone. [23:27] I think they were closed up, and they were ready to go. [23:30] And now they're building factories like nobody's ever seen. [23:34] They're expanding the operations and building a couple of brand-new steel plants. [23:38] They're up to over $17 million, which is a lot more than they even told us to you, because they've fallen in love with this commonwealth. [23:45] They've fallen in love with your whole area of the people. [23:48] I think they've fallen in love with the people more than anything else, is what they told me, because they've done more than they said they would. [23:54] And thanks to our great Republican majorities in Congress, last Fourth of July, I proudly signed the largest tax cuts in American history. [24:02] We gave you the biggest tax cuts in American history. [24:08] Not bad. [24:10] Not bad. [24:12] We delivered no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for our great Pennsylvania seniors. [24:21] And our tax cuts are projected to put a take-home pay for Pennsylvanians by an average of more than $10,000 a year per household. [24:36] Thank you, man. [24:37] Not bad. [24:39] You had a loan chip with us, the midterms. [24:41] We've got to win that music. [24:42] We've got to win the midterms. [24:43] The music is another great guy. [24:44] Stand up music. [24:45] Stay with me, sir. [24:47] We were thinking about running for governor. [24:53] I think he won one, but he was thinking about running for governor. [24:55] And they said, I want you to stay in Congress. [24:57] I want you to stay. [24:58] And we appreciate it. [25:00] You've done a great job. [25:02] But always remember, every single Democrat in Congress voted against our tax cuts. [25:07] So think of it. [25:08] Every, all of those tax cuts and many more, they want to raise your taxes, not lower. [25:13] They voted against tax cuts. [25:15] You know, all my life, I've sort of been political, and then I found it very interesting. [25:20] I was very successful in the same person, but I love watching politics. [25:24] And my whole life, I've watched politics say, we will cut your taxes. [25:28] We will cut. [25:29] I never heard these people say, we will raise your taxes. [25:33] This country has gotten very strange politically, especially with all the communists that are up for election. [25:39] They don't get communists. [25:40] These aren't socialists. [25:41] These are communists. [25:42] And they're all up. [25:44] How about the guy in Maine? [25:45] He's got the Nazi stickers. [25:49] He's got the whole deal. [25:50] So for eight years, ten years, they said Trump is a Nazi. [25:57] Now they can't say that anymore because they have a guy with a tattoo on his chest. [26:01] Unbelievable. [26:03] But they voted against no tax on social security. [26:09] They voted against no tax on tips. [26:12] They voted against no tax on overtime. [26:14] And if they got into office, you will have all of those taxes and all of that money that you're saving, [26:20] including the big savings on social security. [26:24] It's going to all be terminated. [26:25] You're going to have to start paying that. [26:26] They want to pay it. [26:28] I don't know what's wrong with these people. [26:29] They voted in favor of the estate tax or the death tax or your farms and your businesses. [26:35] You know, farmers and small business people, they love their children. [26:39] They love them. [26:40] It's great. [26:41] Most of the people love them. [26:42] Some can't stand. [26:43] People that can't stand their kids are not going to leave in 10 cents. [26:45] But if you love your child, you want to leave your farm, especially for these farmers, it's born in them somehow. [26:55] They want to have their children on the farm. [26:57] The children don't want to leave. [26:59] But sometimes they're land rich and cash poor. [27:03] You know, I've known that expression too. [27:05] I've often times been land rich and cash poor. [27:08] It's not a good period of time. [27:10] And you die and you have an estate and they tax you at 40, 50, 60 percent. [27:16] And they end up losing their farm, losing their small business. [27:19] And in many cases, you don't read about this, they commit suicide. [27:22] They actually go out and commit suicide because they're forced off their farm by a bank. [27:26] They have to go out and borrow money from a bank. [27:29] And they're forced to go out, borrow the money. [27:31] They're unable to pay the loan in the bank. [27:34] Even if it's an estate. [27:35] They give them a chance. [27:36] They give them another chance. [27:37] And then they ultimately foreclose. [27:38] They lose everything. [27:39] And in many cases, they commit suicide. [27:42] And they say, we're not going to have that crap going on. [27:45] So you have no estate tax to pay or your small farm, small business or your farms, your businesses. [27:50] And if you love your children, you can leave your farm or your small business to your child and they're not going to lose it. [28:00] If you don't love your children, then don't listen to what I'm saying because it doesn't matter. [28:04] If you don't like them, don't leave them anything. [28:06] They probably deserve it. [28:09] But think of it. [28:10] The Democrats voted against the border wall. [28:12] The border wall gave us the safest border. [28:14] We have the safest border now in the history of the country. [28:21] They voted against ID. [28:27] You know why they voted against voter ID? [28:28] Because they want to cheat. [28:30] There's only one reason. [28:32] Mr. Wall, right? [28:34] Correct. [28:37] I get that suit. [28:38] One day, I don't know if it's very presidential. [28:42] I'm going to walk up in a suit with the design of the wall on it. [28:45] I don't know. [28:47] What do you think? [28:48] I even have a very elegant wife. [28:55] And she says, darling, please, please, don't dance. [28:58] It's not presidential. [29:01] I said, but the people love it. [29:03] When I dance, I do. [29:04] And she said, please, please, the men and women in sports, please don't do the way. [29:12] And don't do the swimming thing. [29:15] You know the way he left or the way he goes up. [29:18] The record stood for years and years and years. [29:21] And this young lady, she's trying out for the Olympics, and she's going to do it. [29:25] And the record stood for 19 years. [29:28] And they put an eighth of an ounce on one side, an eighth of an ounce on the other. [29:33] And I have to understand, Maddie, who's now a movie star, she's got the number one. [29:37] Can you believe she can't be with it? [29:38] It's that good. [29:41] It can only be one star in a family. [29:43] Please remember. [29:43] But they put a little eighth, like a feather on one side, a little bit, just to break the record. [29:50] The parents are sitting right there with big boas. [29:53] He's a nasty guy. [29:54] That part she's a lawyer, yeah, yeah. [29:56] I'd be very nice to go. [29:58] I'd be very nice to make sure he's never angry at me. [30:01] But she said, her parents are right there in the front, and they're so proud. [30:04] The father's not so proud as you know what she's not going to do. [30:07] Because she's a woman. [30:08] That's a lot of weight. [30:09] The mother, though, is screaming, darling, I love you. [30:11] Do it. [30:11] And she gets over the weights, and she spins, and then she gets them, and then she gets them. [30:17] And the mother's screaming, darling, I love you to talk. [30:22] And the father's looking, saying she's no shit. [30:26] And she's like, let's do it. [30:28] And you're like, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. [30:31] Drops him, and she's like the other side of the rest of her life. [30:35] And then the guy comes along, who transitioned. [30:38] That's true. [30:39] I've gotten very good at that term. [30:41] I used to take a lot of heat from my definition of movement over. [30:46] And he transitioned. [30:47] He was a poor, very poor, bottom of the line, male weightlifter. [30:54] But now he's a female weightlifter. [30:56] And he looked at the amount. [30:58] I think it was like 210 pounds or something like that. [31:01] Well, that's a lot for a woman. [31:02] But not that much for a man. [31:04] You could do it with one hand. [31:05] And he goes, let's start off the weight. [31:14] And he won the medal. [31:18] And everyone said, oh, isn't that wonderful? [31:20] Are we crazy? [31:22] Men should not be able to participate in the world. [31:25] That's a 99% issue. [31:36] You ever hear the fake news? [31:37] I said, that's an 80-20 issue. [31:39] No, it's not. [31:39] It's 1991. [31:41] You know, I've been doing politics now for 10 years. [31:44] Not that long considering I've won three elections. [31:47] You know, I'm showing up. [31:48] But we did great in the second one. [31:52] It's a great deal. [31:53] But pretty short. [31:55] But with all of that, with all of the time I spent speaking to people, [31:59] they say, sir, could you cut taxes on this? [32:01] Could you get me a taxi capture or a car loan? [32:03] I did that. [32:04] By the way, I did that. [32:05] If you borrow money in my car, you're going to get all these things. [32:08] They asked me for hundreds of things. [32:10] Not once did anyone ever come up to me and say, sir, please, this is so hard. [32:16] You have to be able to have men playing women's sports. [32:20] Please, sir, could you pull that off? [32:22] I've never had anyone ask you for that. [32:24] So I say it's a 99 to 1 issue. [32:27] Not 80-20. [32:28] The fake news back there, they say, oh, that's a target issue. [32:30] But I don't like talking about it because I want them to continue on with that. [32:36] I want them to continue on with the, you know, they're in favor of the mutilization of your child for transgender purposes. [32:44] The mutilization of your child. [32:46] And I would say politically, it's a very good thing to run against a person that's in favor of that kind of stuff. [32:52] So we let them, we don't bring it up during off-political seasons. [32:56] But we have a political season coming up. [32:58] And then we do all of that nonsense and they're going to lose a lot of elections. [33:02] And now if you look at New York, we have all communists running. [33:05] They're all excited. [33:06] They're going to win their primaries. [33:07] But I can't imagine they could be a normal Republican. [33:10] So I think it's a good thing. [33:12] I think it's a good thing. [33:13] Wouldn't you like to run against somebody like that? [33:16] Well, Shapiro's not that much better, to be honest with you. [33:19] But they're all being forced. [33:22] They're all being forced. [33:23] A guy like Shapiro, he's going to be forced to the left. [33:25] Otherwise, he's not going to get the nomination. [33:28] But they voted against proof of citizenship. [33:31] Think of it. [33:32] We'd like to have proof of citizenship. [33:34] You walk into the voting booth. [33:36] Would it be okay, sir, if I looked at you and said, how dare you ask me for my citizenship? [33:41] You know, in California, if you ask that question to a voter, [33:46] you are criminally liable, in other words, they can put you in jail. [33:49] If you say, sir, do you have proof of citizenship? [33:52] They put you in jail if they ask that question. [33:55] You're not allowed to ask that. [33:56] You know, it's the craziest thing I've ever seen. [33:58] Going, hey, did they screw the kid, right? [34:02] Boy, he's leaving, and all of a sudden he's lost. [34:06] And it's sort of interesting. [34:07] The election, you ever see an election where they're two and a half weeks in? [34:11] An election that takes weeks to count the votes? [34:13] Well, after the evening, it looked like he was going to win or certainly be in the run-up. [34:19] And then I started hearing rumors as the days went by, days and days went by. [34:24] And Pat is fading. [34:26] He's going to sit there in the election. [34:28] And then, lo and behold, he didn't qualify, even though he was so far up in the third-place person that it was almost impossible. [34:38] And he didn't qualify. [34:39] And then it started happening with the next candidate, Steve Hilton, who was running for governor. [34:43] He was up in front, just about leading, no problem. [34:46] And all of a sudden, about four or five days after, this is after the election's over, they said, [34:53] Steve Hilton is starting to lose votes. [34:56] I said, here we go again. [34:57] And I called up the U.S. Attorney in California. [35:00] They said, we're going to have a number in the next week. [35:03] Next week. [35:04] I called up the very powerful, very good U.S. Attorney in California. [35:08] And I said, do me a favor. [35:10] Take a look. [35:10] They're trying to seal that election, too. [35:13] I guess they called up. [35:14] They said, this is the U.S. Attorney call. [35:16] We have your great U.S. Attorney here today, by the way, and your assistant U.S. Attorney. [35:20] They're doing great. [35:21] David, thank you. [35:24] So over the next week, he was definitely going to lose. [35:29] But the U.S. Attorney called. [35:30] We wanted to check your votes. [35:32] About an hour after the call, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Hilton has won. [35:38] So had I not made that call, Steve Hilton would right now be watching the election from home. [35:45] So I don't know. [35:47] He will have a great chance, but the election is totally right. [35:49] California is totally right. [35:51] All mail and ballots. [35:52] It's a dissolution. [35:53] We've got to pass the Save America Act. [35:56] We've got to pass Save America. [36:04] You, McGee, and all these guys, just what love. [36:10] A friend of mine is a very big real estate developer, but he's got a problem with speaking in front of you. [36:15] You know, he jokes like a dog. [36:17] He said, how do you do it? [36:18] I say, it's easy because there's so much love in the room. [36:23] There's so much unbelievable love. [36:24] It's easy to get. [36:26] You know, he's got this tremendous fear of speaking. [36:31] He said, the guy's a major player. [36:34] Most of you have heard of him. [36:36] And he's a killer. [36:37] He destroys people for a living. [36:39] Financially, not physically. [36:40] Financially, physically, he can barely walk. [36:43] He's the best kid. [36:44] But he's up here. [36:45] He's very smart. [36:46] And he destroys people. [36:49] Very rich. [36:51] But he can't get up in front of a crowd and talk. [36:53] I said, what's wrong with you? [36:54] He said, I don't have a fear of crowds. [36:56] You believe me? [36:57] All sorts of people. [36:58] You know, a lot of people want to do what I did. [37:00] A lot of people, David did it. [37:01] David was very successful. [37:02] But he's a great speaker. [37:03] But a lot of people, they say, well, Trump became president. [37:07] For me, a very successful businessman, he became president. [37:10] I want to do it too. [37:10] And that's when they find out that you might have the flaw of speaking. [37:16] Or even worse, it's a terrible past. [37:19] You know, the past will come out to haunt you. [37:22] It's not an easy thing to do. [37:23] But I love it. [37:24] You know, I say it's really easy to do when you have people that love you. [37:30] I guarantee who you voted for Trump. [37:34] This is dangerous, so don't raise your hand and think you're going to be cute because [37:48] you might be a big, big problem. [37:52] Then they'll blame me for causing problems. [37:54] Who did not vote for Trump? [38:00] Young man, he wants to be. [38:03] He's a young man. [38:04] He thinks he's been cute. [38:06] As he gets pounded up, he just said, no, I didn't. [38:10] I was the first. [38:10] He said I'm the first in life. [38:11] But the Democrats voted in favor of Iran having a nuclear weapon. [38:18] And they voted against military spending. [38:21] But I overrode that. [38:22] Let me tell you, if the Democrats get in, your 15,000 trucks that Mr. Roy is looking to get [38:28] are dead. [38:30] They're not going to have 15,000. [38:32] They're not going to have 15 trucks. [38:34] They'll be back to the number I originally guessed. [38:36] How many are you making? [38:37] 15? [38:38] 15,000 trucks will be down to nothing. [38:41] Zero. [38:41] And they'll make you put an electric on it. [38:44] You know, electric so that when you're in the middle of a jungle someplace and you need [38:48] a charge, where's my charging booth? [38:51] As opposed to carrying a nice tank of diesel on your back, throwing it in and taking it [38:57] off, right? [38:58] Where's my charging booth, they'll be saying. [39:01] They created the strongest. [39:03] We created the strongest military in history. [39:06] And you see that with Venezuela. [39:08] Venezuela, one-day operation. [39:10] Like, good job. [39:13] And now we're making a lot of money with Venezuela. [39:16] Venezuela is doing great also. [39:18] It's a happy country now. [39:20] But it took us exactly 48 minutes to win that war. [39:23] We're the greatest military in the world. [39:25] 48 minutes. [39:25] And we've paid for the cost of the war. [39:33] Wait till you hear this. [39:35] 28 times already. [39:36] War. [39:37] But 28 times. [39:38] So the cost of the war, we've already, because we have, we've brought millions of barrels [39:42] of oil out. [39:43] And we're getting along great. [39:44] The people running it, they're our people, they're great people. [39:47] And the people who are happy in the country, they have smiles, they were miserable, they [39:52] were starving. [39:53] But they have a lot of oil under that ground. [39:55] You know how you find oil in Venezuela? [39:57] Just look at the ground. [39:59] You'll see oil bubbling up. [40:00] They have so much oil. [40:01] They don't know what to do with it. [40:03] They had a bad system. [40:04] They're making more money now for the country than they've ever made before. [40:07] And we're making a lot of money, too. [40:09] But also Iran, we knocked them out. [40:12] One week, it was essentially militarily of a much bigger country, 91 million people, [40:17] and much different ideology. [40:20] The ideology of the Muslims is slightly different than the ideology of the Catholics. [40:26] We have the Catholics and the Muslims slightly different. [40:30] But Venezuela's been great and Iran's been great. [40:32] I mean, you know, Iran's reasonable, they're smart. [40:35] Otherwise, we'll have to finish the job, which will take about maybe less than a week. [40:40] But they're going to be okay. [40:42] I think they're going to do what they have to do, because we want to have it done. [40:46] But they voted against lower energy prices, the Democrats did, [40:50] and then they went on to create the highest energy prices that we've ever had in the history of a country. [40:54] People don't realize that much higher than ours during the war. [40:59] They had the highest inflation in history. [41:01] The highest inflation in history, they say 48 years, [41:04] but that's not the history as far as I'm concerned. [41:07] They were absolutely terrible on affordability. [41:09] Remember I got here? [41:12] My first thing, the fake news is screaming at me, [41:15] what about affordability? [41:17] I'm only here one day. [41:19] Remember eggs were up about five times higher than they ever were? [41:22] And we have prices are coming down right now at levels that you've never seen. [41:27] And now with oil crashing, you're going to see something really amazing. [41:31] And to top everything else, they let 25 million people into our country, [41:36] many of them criminals and thugs and people from mental institutions and drug dealers. [41:42] They even let 11,888 murderers into our country. [41:48] Murderers. [41:49] 11,888 murderers, more than 50% of which have killed more than one person. [41:56] And I've gotten the worst of them out. [41:58] We've gotten them out, Tom Holman and our whole group of people. [42:01] But the Democrats want to open borders and they want them all to come back in. [42:11] And you can imagine that the people of this commonwealth will never let that happen again. [42:17] But they allow it to happen to our country. [42:19] We can never... [42:20] ...work tonight patrol so that he can help his wife take care of their six beautiful children during the day. [42:27] And I'm told the youngest is named Melania. [42:30] Can you believe that? [42:31] The name is Melania. [42:32] When did you come up with that one? [42:34] After our great first lady. [42:36] So Sam is taking thousands of dollars extra because of no tax or overtime. [42:41] And Sam, do you want to come up and say a few words? [42:43] Come on up. [42:44] Thank you. [42:58] Good afternoon, everyone. [43:00] I'd like to express my appreciation to President Trump, Congressman Ryan McKenzie, [43:07] and the entire White House administration. [43:09] As a father of six children in a single-income household, [43:16] I can tell you the working families tax cuts is a policy that helps my family. [43:21] Hard work should pay off, not get punished with higher taxes. [43:25] No tax on overtime, no tax on tips. [43:31] It means more money in the pockets of working Americans. [43:36] For my family, these savings have translated to what was once a trip, a day trip to the park. [43:43] It's now an overnight stay at the Jersey Shore. [43:47] Bigger tax returns have allowed Americans to create new family memories and save for future projects. [43:53] As the president said, I also worked night shift as a police sergeant in the fine city of Bethlehem. [44:02] A shortage in police recruitment has left our department depleted of officers. [44:14] Our officers get called out for overtime to cover these shortages. [44:18] Some pay period, officers are working over 40 hours of overtime. [44:22] That's why I'm grateful for no tax on overtime. [44:26] Thank you, Mr. President. [44:28] I'm also thankful for the support President Trump and Congressman McKenzie have shown for law enforcement. [44:44] You understand that communities thrive when we invest in public safety. [44:50] Congressman McKenzie has stood strong with public safety and working families. [44:55] And that's why he's been endorsed by the brothers and sisters of Bethlehem FOP Star Lodge 20. [45:02] Congressman McKenzie has been on the front lines in supporting public safety. [45:12] He secured $700,000 for the Bethlehem Police Department for much-needed technology and equipment upgrades at our police department, [45:21] along with bringing home $1.6 million in funding for volunteer firehouses and infrastructure. [45:28] Thank you, Congressman. [45:29] I'm a very grateful American. [45:39] A son to Lebanese immigrants who came to the United States 50 years ago in pursuit of the American dream. [45:47] My 80-year-old father is here with me today. [45:59] He would often tell me, work hard and it'll pay off. [46:03] Well, 50 years later, thanks to President Trump and Congressman McKenzie, my father's dream has come true. [46:11] I thank you for that. [46:12] Additionally, thank you to President Trump and your entire administration. [46:25] After more than 50 years, the Lebanese people finally have an American ally who advocates for a sovereign and independent Lebanon governed by the Lebanese people. [46:37] Thank you for that. [46:38] Mr. President, you have the support of almost 20 million Lebanese people worldwide. [46:47] Your ship is more than a title. [46:55] It's action. [46:56] I'm grateful for the actions coming from President Trump and Congressman Ryan McKenzie. [47:03] Your actions have prioritized the American dream. [47:07] Less taxes, safer communities, and America-first policies. [47:12] I thank you, President Trump. [47:15] Happy belated birthday. [47:16] And happy birthday to the United States of America. [47:20] You and God bless. [47:21] Thank you. [47:44] You know, I slipped in all these pages and I said, oh, we're in trouble. [47:48] But you know what? [47:49] That was good. [47:51] That was a good job. [47:53] I was a little worried when I said the pages. [47:55] Very good. [47:57] Great job. [48:01] Sam, where's your father? [48:04] Hello, Pop. [48:05] How are you? [48:06] Got a good boy. [48:07] Got a good boy. [48:08] Taking care of your people. [48:11] So our administration is also delivering one historic win after another for another group [48:17] that works a lot of overtime, and that's our great water workers. [48:20] We have a lot of water workers in here today. [48:23] Just as I promised the UHW workers, and we did great with them. [48:27] You know, Republicans, I don't know, for whatever reason, they don't do like I do. [48:32] In the campaign, I ended Biden's insane electric vehicle mandate, that crazy mandate. [48:39] Which meant that in a short while, all cars had to be all electric, and many of them would [48:46] be built in China and others in foreign countries all over the world. [48:49] That's what was going to happen. [48:51] And I stopped that. [48:52] I ended it in my first week in office. [48:54] I ran on it. [48:55] And you know what, if you like electric cars, I think that's great. [48:59] I wouldn't say Elon Musk will do it if I did, but he understood that. [49:03] But if you like electric cars, I think it's great, but you have to have the right to buy [49:06] a regular electric vehicle. [49:08] I mean, we have more gasoline than any country anywhere in the world. [49:11] If you want to have gas, if you want to have a hybrid, you can have whatever the hell you [49:15] want, including electric, but I terminated Biden's disasters, fuel emissions standards [49:20] that would have crushed Matt Trucks here. [49:24] Mr. Roy, your company would be crushed if I didn't do that. [49:28] You wouldn't be bidding on anything, me or anybody else. [49:32] It was the most insane environmental regulations ever conceived of by men. [49:36] It was totally unreasonable and ridiculous. [49:38] And you can sell trucks for much less money that are now much better trucks that work, [49:44] that actually work. [49:45] And we made interest on auto loans, fully tax deductible, but only if you buy a car that [49:51] is made in the USA. [49:54] Otherwise, we're not in fact. [49:55] And I saved the auto manufacturing business in America. [50:02] We have more auto plants being built today than we've had in 60 years, and I think maybe [50:08] ever, and bigger and better. [50:10] They had one, a big one, in a certain state that I love also. [50:14] I love a lot of places. [50:17] And they took out this old plant, but it was big. [50:20] And I said, did you redo it yet? [50:21] They said, why aren't we doing it? [50:23] We're ripping down and building a brand new one. [50:25] You know what I'm talking about, Dave? [50:28] We're pleased to be joined today by Pat McHugh, a Marine Corps veteran, a great guy, who [50:33] spent 28 years with Matt Trucks. [50:35] And he leads the camp assembly and serves as new product line launch leaders. [50:42] It's a big deal. [50:43] And Pat's grandfather worked here. [50:45] His dad worked here. [50:46] And now his son is working here and doing well. [50:49] And they know how important it is to keep manufacturing jobs in Pennsylvania. [50:54] Pat Sanford was. [50:55] Mr. President, it is a profound honor and privilege to have you here with us today to help celebrate [51:17] the upcoming 250th birthday of our America. [51:29] Most recently, our 125th anniversary of building Matt Trucks. [51:35] My name is Patrick McHugh, Jr., and I am a proud Marine Corps veteran. [51:50] In addition to that, though, I am an even prouder Matt Trucks employee. [52:02] Getting here with me today is my father and my son, both Matt Trucks workers. [52:13] Together, they have a combined 78 years' working experience building the greatest trucks on [52:24] earth. [52:25] You can say Matt Trucks runs in our blood. [52:36] We work hard to build the trucks that help build America. [52:41] And we are proud that those trucks are built in the United States of America, along with [52:52] our UAW colleagues. [52:53] We're hoping for business, and we're producing the best quality trucks we ever have. [52:59] On behalf of our team, we normally welcome you to our planet, Mr. President, home of the [53:07] finest trucks in America, by the most skilled and dedicated workforce in the trucking industry. [53:13] Mr. President, I want to say thank you for Chuck Trucks on your visit today, and thank you [53:47] for supporting our American workforce. [53:49] Thank you, Pat. [54:04] That's a good family. [54:06] That's a great family. [54:07] Thank you. [54:08] They're proud of your company. [54:09] I want to also thank two people, very special people, because I know them and I know what [54:15] they do, and it's not easy, but they've done a great job. [54:19] David Durgan and Timothy Herzog of the UAW Committee. [54:20] Where are you guys? [54:21] Thank you. [54:22] They're doing a good job representing you. [54:23] Ease up just a little bit so they can get the contract. [54:24] Thank you, fellas. [54:25] Get this congressman elected. [54:26] That's what you've got to do. [54:27] But we're pleased to be joined also by Labor Secretary Keith Sunderland. [54:32] Hi, Keith. [54:39] Hi, Keith. [54:40] Good job. [54:41] Is he treating you guys good? [54:42] Is he all right? [54:43] He better. [54:44] He better treat you good. [54:45] A very special guy, somebody that everybody wanted to know. [54:47] He's doing a good job. [54:48] He's doing a good job representing you. [54:49] He's doing a good job representing you. [54:50] Ease up just a little bit so they can get the contract. [54:51] Thank you, fellas. [54:52] Get this congressman elected. [54:53] That's what you've got to do. [54:54] But we're pleased to be joined also by Labor Secretary Keith Sunderland. [54:55] Keith, who are you, Keith? [54:56] Hi, Keith. [54:58] Good job. [54:59] Is he treating you guys good? [55:00] Is he all right? [55:03] He better. [55:04] He better treat you good. [55:06] He better treat you good. [55:08] A very special guy, somebody that everybody wanted to know. [55:12] I have to tell you, everybody wanted him. [55:14] He's some version. [55:16] He was actually an astronaut. [55:17] He went out. [55:18] He made a lot of money because he's smart. [55:20] And he's now the NASA administrator. [55:23] He saw that rocket two months ago up and go around the moon and wrecking levels, [55:28] the furthest any ship has ever flown, and come back. [55:32] And he's working very heavily on the moon. [55:34] But what he's done with NASA is amazing. [55:36] And he's a very special person and a brilliant one. [55:39] Jared Isaacman. [55:40] Jared? [55:41] Thank you. [55:49] Great job. [55:50] As well as, you know, I introduce him a little bit. [55:52] No way by the name David, because he knows me. [55:54] And I know him by David. [55:56] But David McCormick is your senator. [55:58] He's a brilliant person, a brilliant businessman. [56:04] And he loves the Commonwealth. [56:06] He loves Pennsylvania. [56:08] And this is where he wanted to be. [56:10] And he had a rough. [56:11] I told you, he had a rough fight. [56:12] He's been like 24 years and a father for 24 years. [56:17] And I said, you know what you're doing, David. [56:20] But you won. [56:21] And you won easily. [56:22] And I'll tell you what, you have a great senator. [56:24] One of the best in the country. [56:25] So I just want to thank you very much. [56:27] And four warriors for Pennsylvania in Congress. [56:35] These are warriors. [56:37] Lloyd Smucker is here. [56:38] Lloyd. [56:39] Thank you. [56:40] Thank you. [56:42] John Joyce is here. [56:45] John. [56:46] Thank you. [56:49] Dan Muser is here. [56:50] Thank you. [56:51] And these guys are all in good shape. [56:57] But we've got to get Ryan McKenzie elected. [57:01] We've got to get Ryan. [57:04] I'm not here for them. [57:06] I'm here for him. [57:07] We've got to get Ryan elected. [57:10] Run up here right fast. [57:11] Nobody wants to hear you. [57:12] Come on, just run. [57:13] Nobody wants to hear you, Ryan. [57:15] Do what David did. [57:18] You're up for one minute. [57:19] Thank you very much, everybody. [57:20] It's such a mess. [57:21] And everybody thought he was a great speaker. [57:24] Okay. [57:25] Mr. President, I can't thank you enough for coming here to the Lehigh Valley, highlighting [57:33] the great men and women of MedTrust, doing all the work that you do in Washington, D.C., [57:38] for our veterans, our first responders, and everybody across this country to continue [57:44] to maintain America as the greatest country in the world. [57:48] You are the president that is fighting for all Americans. [57:51] Thank you for being here, sir. [57:52] That's great. [57:53] We learned something from you, David. [58:10] That's great. [58:11] We also have one of the greatest writers anywhere in the country who knows more about the Commonwealth, [58:22] Pennsylvania. [58:23] I think that anybody that's a – she's a terrific person. [58:27] Right from the beginning, she said Trump is going to win. [58:30] Yeah, I like her. [58:31] She said Trump is going to win. [58:34] 2015. [58:35] I actually wrote her article in 2014. [58:37] She said this guy Trump should run. [58:40] I hadn't thought too much about it. [58:42] I was having a lot of fun putting up buildings. [58:45] But she was very early on. [58:48] I don't think she – I don't think there's anybody that knows more about it. [58:52] They used to call it the Rust Belt. [58:53] They call it the Money Belt. [58:54] It's gone from the Rust Belt to the Money Belt. [58:56] Either one is okay. [58:57] But there's nobody that knows more about it than Selena Zito. [59:02] She's fantastic. [59:03] Where are you, Selena? [59:04] Where are you, Selena? [59:05] It will be your beautiful daughter. [59:07] Thank you, Selena. [59:11] Selena is an incredible woman. [59:14] And her daughter is following in her footsteps. [59:18] She's just been so good. [59:19] Very powerful writer, actually. [59:21] Some of the biggest papers in the world. [59:23] It's nice to have good stories on occasion. [59:25] Truthful stories. [59:26] Thanks as well to the President of the NRA who's here with me. [59:31] Bill Buckenberg. [59:32] Bill, stand up. [59:33] And they always give me their endorsement. [59:42] Because I saved the Second Amendment and you think it's easy. [59:46] On occasion it was not easy, right Bill? [59:49] But we did it. [59:50] We did it with your help. [59:51] And we're doing a couple of other things working with you and your people. [59:56] But I think you've done a fantastic job. [59:58] The NRA, everybody, they really have been there because it wouldn't be right from the beginning. [1:00:06] I support the national right to carry legislation. [1:00:09] How do you feel about national right to carry? [1:00:11] That's my free poll. [1:00:19] You know what that is, it's a free poll. [1:00:21] You don't have to pay $300,000 to somebody that doesn't even do polling, you know? [1:00:26] You need your phone numbers. [1:00:27] Ten thousand real numbers. [1:00:29] National right to carry. [1:00:30] Yeah, we're working on it. [1:00:33] And we have a very special guest who you just saw on the highest rated fight show ever in [1:00:40] the history of television, the UFC Freedom 250. [1:00:45] So this guy, I just have to set up a little bit if I don't would. [1:00:50] Because I'm thinking, you know, I'm a similar size. [1:00:52] I weigh more than he does actually. [1:00:54] So therefore I have a tremendous physical advantage over him. [1:00:57] His muscles are slightly harder and slightly younger. [1:01:01] I mean they're not younger. [1:01:03] But I think I can do it because I'm a great athlete. [1:01:05] He knows I'm a very good golfer. [1:01:07] And I'm much better off in the golf course against him than I am with the wrestling men. [1:01:13] But he went virtually undefeated. [1:01:15] I mean he went four years. [1:01:16] He was the top wrestler. [1:01:18] His friend, Tony, who's another champion. [1:01:21] I'll introduce you to Tony. [1:01:23] But these two guys were on the Penn State team. [1:01:25] And Bo Nickel went, I mean you couldn't defeat the guy. [1:01:30] And then, in every battle, I guess he was a three or four-time Ole American. [1:01:36] But then he had turned pro and he went to the UFC. [1:01:39] Did you find him tougher? [1:01:41] What? [1:01:42] Yes. [1:01:43] A little different. [1:01:44] You know, a little different. [1:01:45] But he's won just about everything. [1:01:47] But he had a big fight last week. [1:01:50] With a lot of pressure with the White House in the background. [1:01:52] And he's a guy that I like. [1:01:54] I met him for a while ago. [1:01:56] I looked at the years. [1:01:57] I said, man, this guy's a fighter. [1:01:58] You can tell a lot by the years. [1:02:01] And he told me, no, he doesn't mind the years. [1:02:03] He likes them. [1:02:04] It's almost a symbol. [1:02:05] For great fighters, it's a symbol. [1:02:06] That's what I'm worried about you, Tony. [1:02:08] You have pretty normal years. [1:02:10] But I got to know Bo a little bit. [1:02:12] And I got to root for him. [1:02:13] And I almost felt like his father up there. [1:02:15] His father's great. [1:02:16] But I felt like his father. [1:02:17] So I was nervous for the fight. [1:02:19] And he was fighting somebody, the Dana White, the great Dana White. [1:02:22] He said, Bo's got a tough one tonight. [1:02:27] And I said, why? [1:02:28] Why do you do that to him? [1:02:29] Because if you lose it, this is the biggest audience they've ever had by far. [1:02:33] The whole world watched it. [1:02:35] The people at the White House, we had 5,000 seats around the cage we built. [1:02:40] And we had 100,000, more than 100,000 people in the park right next door. [1:02:44] We had the largest cell of the audience they've ever had by far. [1:02:48] And they said, why do you have to give him such a tough opponent? [1:02:52] He was pretty tough. [1:02:53] He was pretty tough. [1:02:54] But then it happened. [1:02:55] So Bo is known as a great wrestler. [1:02:57] Because he was the best wrestler by far in college. [1:02:59] Nobody could beat him. [1:03:01] And I figured Bo would be wrestling. [1:03:04] But no, he wasn't wrestling. [1:03:06] He was clinching. [1:03:07] He said, Bo, maybe his legs can start wrestling. [1:03:09] That's what you do. [1:03:10] But he didn't do that. [1:03:11] He didn't listen to me. [1:03:12] And he got a shot off that was brutal. [1:03:15] And in the first round, right, knocked him out. [1:03:18] He was a good, great fighter. [1:03:20] That was a great fighter. [1:03:21] He is a great fighter. [1:03:22] So I just want to thank you. [1:03:25] He's from Penn State. [1:03:26] He loves Penn State. [1:03:28] He is the NCAA wrestling champion. [1:03:31] And just fantastic. [1:03:33] And his friend, and you probably know, also, I think you're a roommate, right? [1:03:39] That's a tough room. [1:03:40] I wouldn't want to fight these two guys. [1:03:42] Let's go pick those two guys. [1:03:44] I don't think so. [1:03:45] But he was a heavyweight. [1:03:46] And he lost a lot of weight. [1:03:47] He weighed 35, 40 pounds. [1:03:49] And how much did he wrestle? [1:03:50] About 40 pounds a year. [1:03:52] In other words, you want to live, right? [1:03:54] You decided to listen. [1:03:55] But he was also the champion, NCAA champion, Anthony Kassar. [1:04:01] So come up here, fellas. [1:04:02] Because I want to just ask the audience across you. [1:04:04] Come here. [1:04:05] Come here, Bob. [1:04:06] So here's my question. [1:04:09] If I work out for the next couple of months, really work hard, lifting those weights, [1:04:15] and really, really work, could I beat Bo or Anthony in wrestling? [1:04:19] You're very disloyal. [1:04:21] You're very disloyal. [1:04:22] You're very disloyal. [1:04:24] You're very disloyal. [1:04:25] I'm honored to be here. [1:04:32] I think walking up here, I was almost as nervous as a fight. [1:04:35] But it feels like a fight. [1:04:36] Yeah, it feels like it. [1:04:37] But this is exciting. [1:04:38] I'm grateful to be here with everybody. [1:04:39] So grateful to President Trump for making an event that, in my mind, never seemed possible [1:04:50] to happen. [1:04:51] UFC Freedom 250 on the White House lawn. [1:04:53] Unbelievable. [1:04:54] There are too many presidents that have the courage to do something like that. [1:05:03] And, you know, just so unbelievable. [1:05:05] For me, both my parents were high school teachers. [1:05:08] My dad was a wrestling coach. [1:05:09] My grandpa was a wrestling coach. [1:05:11] And I grew up around sports and just competing from five years old. [1:05:16] And so to be able to do something like that is a dream come true. [1:05:20] And it's just through hard work, effort, discipline, and a lot of time in the wrestling room, [1:05:27] a lot of time in the cage that I was able to do that. [1:05:30] And that's really because America is the land of opportunity. [1:05:33] And if you set your mind to something and you feel passionate about what you do, [1:05:38] you can accomplish anything. [1:05:39] And thank you. [1:05:40] Too much time. [1:05:41] But I want to tell a quick story about the first time I met President Trump. [1:05:50] It was in 2019 at the White House. [1:05:52] And our team and I won the nationals at NCAAs. [1:05:56] And at Penn State, we are. [1:05:59] Let's go. [1:06:01] And we were given the opportunity to meet President Trump. [1:06:05] And it was really special because he took a lot of extra time to talk with us as wrestlers. [1:06:12] I think he respected the wrestlers a lot. [1:06:14] And I told him that when I'm done wrestling, I was going to fight. [1:06:18] And he asked me if I need a manager. [1:06:21] I thought that he has better things to do than that. [1:06:25] But really since then, I feel like we've had a special connection that I'm extremely grateful for. [1:06:31] And, you know, fast forward seven years. [1:06:33] I'm fighting on the White House lawn. [1:06:36] And I turn and look at my corner and President Trump is right next to him. [1:06:46] And so it really felt, it felt to me like he was in my corner. [1:06:49] I know that was something that was just so special. [1:06:52] And I feel like just incredibly grateful. [1:06:56] And overall, the whole week of the experience, everything, the word that kept coming to mind, [1:07:01] the emotion that I kept feeling was gratitude. [1:07:03] And I'm grateful for President Trump. [1:07:06] Grateful for all my friends and family and supporters. [1:07:11] And I'm grateful to be an American. [1:07:13] And this is the best country on earth. [1:07:15] And God bless you all. [1:07:16] How's everybody doing? [1:07:25] Awesome crowd. [1:07:29] I'll keep this really short. [1:07:30] It's just an honor being here. [1:07:32] Bo and I have been roommates since our freshman year at Penn State [1:07:35] and never could have imagined this. [1:07:37] But it's an honor to support Mr. President, this great nation, [1:07:41] and the American workers that built the foundation in the United States of America. [1:07:45] So as a small business owner, a real estate investor, [1:07:48] I just want to thank President Trump for the big, beautiful bill, [1:07:52] all he's done for small business owners. [1:07:54] And most importantly, I pray that God will continue to bless him [1:07:58] and guide him to lead this great nation. [1:08:00] And God bless all of us. [1:08:01] Thank you. [1:08:02] Two great champions yesterday. [1:08:19] It's good to have him here today. [1:08:20] We have a lot of champions in the audience. [1:08:22] These are two very special people. [1:08:24] When you do that, I was saying to myself, you know, [1:08:27] going into that rain, you got all these people. [1:08:29] We had the richest and the biggest politicians. [1:08:32] We had the biggest of everything. [1:08:34] You couldn't get a ticket. [1:08:35] The tickets were some crazy numbers, I heard. [1:08:38] We gave away to everybody, but somehow the phone got out. [1:08:41] And I was saying that's a tremendous amount of pressure. [1:08:46] And you're fighting the toughest people on earth. [1:08:48] I mean, these are the strongest, toughest men on earth, [1:08:52] no women in the crowd, which is nice. [1:08:57] But these are the toughest men on earth. [1:09:00] And it's tremendous pressure. [1:09:02] And, you know, the muscles, you got the muscles. [1:09:04] You guys got the big strong muscles, but you got this muscle too [1:09:07] because it takes much more than just a normal muscle [1:09:10] to win those matches. [1:09:11] I mean, the strategy and the genius that goes in. [1:09:14] It is a genius. [1:09:15] A lot of people wouldn't understand that. [1:09:17] But there's a genius. [1:09:18] It's a genius in sports. [1:09:19] But there's a great amount of courage and power that you have [1:09:25] that a lot of other people don't have. [1:09:26] So congratulations, really. [1:09:28] Great job. [1:09:29] Great job. [1:09:32] Good to have you here. [1:09:34] In everything we do, we're once again fighting for the people [1:09:37] of Pennsylvania. [1:09:38] And that includes our amazing Pennsylvania oil and gas workers. [1:09:41] And I ended last administration's war on Pennsylvania energy. [1:09:45] And I signed an order to drill baby drill. [1:09:50] That's what we did. [1:09:51] Right, David? [1:09:52] And you helped. [1:09:54] The United States is now the number one producer of oil and gas on earth, [1:09:59] larger than Russia and Saudi Arabia combined by a lot. [1:10:03] Look at that. [1:10:04] Who would have felt that? [1:10:06] We were in fourth place. [1:10:07] They were larger. [1:10:09] That doesn't include Venezuela. [1:10:10] I included Venezuela once because it's essentially tribute. [1:10:12] But I also ended the war on clean, beautiful Pennsylvania coal. [1:10:21] In fact, in my administration, you know, because you know coal was dead. [1:10:26] China uses it in other countries. [1:10:28] Very successful countries use it. [1:10:30] The unsuccessful countries use wind. [1:10:33] And those beautiful wind mills that go round and round and don't do anything. [1:10:37] Except for some money. [1:10:38] Every time it goes around, you lose $10. [1:10:40] You're supposed to make money with energy, not this money. [1:10:43] No, wind is a disaster. [1:10:44] Every country that's using wind is a disaster. [1:10:47] Every country that's using our beautiful substances from underground are doing very nicely. [1:10:53] Thank you. [1:10:54] But in my administration, you're not allowed to say the word coal without proceeding. [1:10:59] That word with the words clean, beautiful, seriously clean, beautiful coal. [1:11:05] And our secretary of the interior, Doug Burgum, was fantastic. [1:11:10] And Chris Wright. [1:11:11] And they made a speech about coal. [1:11:13] And they mentioned coal like 50 times in the speech. [1:11:16] It's all about coal. [1:11:17] And they kept saying clean, beautiful coal. [1:11:19] Clean, beautiful coal. [1:11:20] I said, no, no. [1:11:21] It's enough. [1:11:22] It's enough. [1:11:23] But we're not allowed to use the word coal without saying it. [1:11:25] Because what they can do with coal today is it's clean. [1:11:28] It's beautiful. [1:11:29] They can clean it. [1:11:30] And it's a very powerful form of energy. [1:11:32] And if you look at China, they're building 57 coal plants. [1:11:35] A lot of big monster plants all over their country. [1:11:38] And then we're not supposed to do that? [1:11:40] No. [1:11:41] We're doing that. [1:11:42] Clean, beautiful coal. [1:11:43] We've invested over $1 billion to save dozens of coal plants. [1:11:47] We've taken them. [1:11:48] They're ready to close. [1:11:49] Some are close. [1:11:50] And more than 100 coal power plants, including the Keystone and the Carnaval generating stations. [1:11:56] Right here in Pennsylvania, as you know, are really moving now. [1:12:00] And employing a lot of people. [1:12:03] They're all getting ready to close up. [1:12:05] They were essentially closed. [1:12:07] We're working hard to lower the cost for all consumers. [1:12:10] And we want powerful energy. [1:12:12] Under my administration, the most favored nation agreements on drug prices that we just did are delivering the largest prescription drug price cuts in history. [1:12:22] With numbers like 400, 500, and even a 600% reduction from where it was. [1:12:30] Think of it. [1:12:31] That alone should win us the midterm. [1:12:34] And the fake news back there refuses to talk about it. [1:12:38] Because they know how good it is. [1:12:39] Because they can't produce it. [1:12:41] They've been trying to do it for years. [1:12:42] Favorite nation. [1:12:43] We paid the highest drug price in the world by far. [1:12:47] As an example, for the fat drug, which Bo and Tony don't need to take. [1:12:52] But a lot of people are thinking, who takes the fat drug? [1:12:56] So in New York, think of it. [1:12:58] It was costing a fortune. [1:13:00] Many, many times, it was costing $1,300. [1:13:03] And in London, it was $87. [1:13:07] And a friend of mine is extremely fat, sloppy, but very brilliant. [1:13:12] He's a brilliant businessman. [1:13:13] Please stop this, don't worry. [1:13:15] You're an erotic person. [1:13:18] Very neurotic person. [1:13:19] Which you need sometimes to be successful. [1:13:21] He used to call me Donny. [1:13:23] Donny! [1:13:24] Well, he calls me Mr. President. [1:13:26] That's not a great respect. [1:13:27] But he said, President, I just came over here and I bought, I won't say it was epic or whatever [1:13:32] in the head of it, but I bought the fat drug. [1:13:35] I said, I didn't know you used it because it's not working. [1:13:39] And I used him as if. [1:13:42] He's begging me not to use his name so well. [1:13:44] But he's very successful. [1:13:45] He's actually a pretty well known guy. [1:13:47] Brilliant business guy. [1:13:48] Works a lot of money. [1:13:49] And he checked. [1:13:51] He just, you know, he said, well, how come in London, I just sat down and I'm paying [1:13:55] $87 and in New York I'm paying $1,300. [1:14:00] I said, because that's the way the prices are rigged. [1:14:04] And it's rigged. [1:14:05] The whole world is rigged against us. [1:14:07] And I said, but you know what? [1:14:08] You brought it out better than anybody can bring it out because I've been looking at it. [1:14:12] They all said it was impossible to do. [1:14:14] And I went to the drug companies and I said, well, it's not going to be anymore. [1:14:17] You're going to raise their price a little bit. [1:14:19] You're going to always raise a lot because the world is bigger than us. [1:14:22] So it really worked that way. [1:14:24] And they said, well, we'll do it. [1:14:26] They were very unhappy, but they knew I wouldn't get it from the countries because you had to get it from the countries. [1:14:30] And I went to France and said to a very nice man named Emmanuel Macron, I said, Emmanuel, you're going to raise your prices on drugs. [1:14:40] Of course I would not do that. [1:14:41] Why would I do that? [1:14:42] Because it's unfair. [1:14:43] We're paying 10 times more than you. [1:14:46] And you're going to have to raise them a little bit. [1:14:48] We're going to drop ours a lot. [1:14:49] He said, no, no, I will not do that. [1:14:51] I said, yes, you will. [1:14:52] He said, I will not do that. [1:14:54] I said, yes, you will. [1:14:55] We're putting a 100% tariff on all wines and champagnes coming into the United States. [1:15:00] He said, yes, I will do that. [1:15:02] And I had the same conversation with Germany, with every country, with the UK. [1:15:08] Every single one of them within five minutes agreed to do it. [1:15:11] Nobody could believe it. [1:15:12] And they agreed to raise their price. [1:15:14] And we have gotten the biggest price reductions in the history of drugs, medical. [1:15:23] Nobody's ever seen anything wrong with it. [1:15:25] So instead of paying $1,300, you'll be paying about $175. [1:15:34] Nobody's ever done that before. [1:15:36] And this is where May make a pill that sells for $10 in London and selling for $150 in Texas. [1:15:46] It's all the same in the United States. [1:15:49] They're basically discriminated. [1:15:51] So now instead of $10, it goes to $20. [1:15:55] Because again, New Orleans is a big place. [1:15:57] And we will bring ours down to $20 from like $150 down to $20. [1:16:01] This is the kind of price reductions you're getting. [1:16:04] Go to Trump.com, by the way. [1:16:06] I didn't name it. [1:16:07] It was Bobby Kennedy that did it with Dr. Oz. [1:16:09] I don't think I named it. [1:16:10] I could not name it. [1:16:11] But that site is through you. [1:16:13] And these are the biggest price reductions in the history of our country for anything having to do with drugs prescription medicine. [1:16:21] So that alone should win the midterms. [1:16:25] And there's a real chance that they would end it because they're totally controlled by these foreign countries, the Democrats, the Democrats. [1:16:33] So starting next week, weight loss drugs will be available for just $50. [1:16:39] Think of that. [1:16:40] For seniors who previously had to pay $1,200, $1,500, $1,400. [1:16:46] Couldn't pay it. [1:16:47] Think of that. [1:16:48] Now, they don't want to run. [1:16:50] Look, they turn the cameras off when they talk about it because they don't want good stuff for us because they don't want us to win elections. [1:16:55] And why, I don't know. [1:16:57] Why they want to have people pouring into our country. [1:16:59] Why they want to have high taxes. [1:17:01] Why they want to have all of these problems that took place over the last four years in the last administration. [1:17:07] One of the worst administrations in history. [1:17:10] But the other ones would be much better. [1:17:12] Because they have all of these crazy policies. [1:17:14] They've done communists. [1:17:16] But just over one year ago, we inherited the worst border in history. [1:17:20] But it quickly turned it into the most secure border in the history of our country by far. [1:17:25] Almost nobody has ever been there. [1:17:31] And in the past 13 months, and this is a charge kept by generally Democrat people. [1:17:38] In the past 13 months, zero illegal aliens have been admitted into the United States. [1:17:44] Think of that. [1:17:45] Zero. [1:17:46] And even I find that hard to put it. [1:17:53] But it's zero. [1:17:54] They'd love to have it be high. [1:17:55] But we can't do that. [1:17:57] We have a country, and we're going to run it well. [1:17:59] We're going to want to have prisons released into a cage. [1:18:02] Some of these countries were emptying their prisons into the United States of America through [1:18:06] the southern border. [1:18:07] Prison population. [1:18:08] Some of the countries had no prison population left. [1:18:11] You know what that says? [1:18:12] Some of them had no mental institutions. [1:18:15] The mental institutions were taken. [1:18:17] All of those people were taken to our southern border and allowed to just walk freely into our [1:18:22] country under sleepy Joe Biden and his group of thugs. [1:18:27] A group of real thugs. [1:18:28] Weaponization. [1:18:29] That's all they're good at. [1:18:30] Weaponization and cheating on elections. [1:18:32] In 2025, we achieved the largest drop in the murder rate ever recorded in the history [1:18:37] of our country despite the fact that we haven't gotten all of these criminals out of our country. [1:18:43] We had the lowest since 1900. [1:18:46] That's 125 years ago. [1:18:48] And we cut the flow of fentanyl across our border by 56%. [1:18:57] That's a big number. [1:18:59] And we cut the flow of illegal drugs coming in by water, coming in by ocean or sea. [1:19:11] We cut it by 97%. [1:19:15] 97%. [1:19:20] 97%. [1:19:21] It's very drastic, but people aren't traveling that way too much anymore. [1:19:27] But we were able to get the most powerful. [1:19:32] I built the military my first term. [1:19:34] We used them in my second term more than I thought, but we have no choice. [1:19:37] We have no choice. [1:19:38] But think of it. [1:19:39] We cut fentanyl. [1:19:40] For years they've been interdicting. [1:19:42] They've been grabbing books, bringing them in, putting them in court. [1:19:45] They go out by the same night, get back, sending drugs by the ocean, by the gulf, by the sea. [1:19:51] And now it's down. [1:19:55] 97%. [1:19:56] And we're looking for the 3%. [1:19:58] Because I think those 3% are more brave than Roanoke Gold. [1:20:01] And the 3% of the people that are willing to get into a boat to deliver drugs now, they're the bravest people, perhaps, anywhere in the world. [1:20:09] It won't happen at all, but what we've done is amazing. [1:20:13] Our military, we have the greatest military in the world. [1:20:15] We have the greatest law enforcement. [1:20:17] We have the highest number of recruiting. [1:20:27] So a year and a half ago, it was headlines. [1:20:31] Nobody wanted to join the military, the Army, Navy. [1:20:35] Nobody wanted to join any of them. [1:20:37] Air Force, spacecraft, other spacecraft, Coast Guard. [1:20:42] Nobody wanted to join any of the military. [1:20:44] They had tremendous recruitment problems. [1:20:47] And even they carried over to the police, the great police here, the police and the fire departments. [1:20:53] Nobody wanted to do anything with the name of America or anything with the uniform. [1:20:56] And today, we have the highest recruitment, the most successful recruitment. [1:21:02] Every single slot is filled. [1:21:04] And that includes, they want to be policemen and they want to be firemen and women. [1:21:09] So we went from the least successful in our history, David, to the most successful in the history in terms of recruitment. [1:21:20] It was very embarrassing a year and a half ago, two years ago. [1:21:24] And it all happened from November 5th. [1:21:26] That's where we won the election. [1:21:28] From November 5th on, everybody wants to be a soldier. [1:21:31] Everybody wants to be the Army, the Navy, the Marine. [1:21:34] They want to fly the jets in the Air Force. [1:21:37] The Coast Guard is hot. [1:21:40] Every good job. [1:21:41] And, of course, Air Force. [1:21:42] You know, I started Air Force. [1:21:43] That was a part of the Air Force. [1:21:45] The Space Force was part of the Air Force. [1:21:48] I said, no, it's got to be separate. [1:21:49] It's got to do its own thing. [1:21:51] And it's become. [1:21:52] So we were in third place four or five years ago. [1:21:54] When I put it in, we were losing to China and to Russia. [1:21:57] And now we're totally ahead of both of them, like in numbers that they can't believe. [1:22:02] The Space Force could end up being one of us. [1:22:07] To stop the massive theft of taxpayer dollars, including millions of illegals, [1:22:11] we launched the war on fraud led by our great Vice President, J.D. Vance. [1:22:16] You're doing a great job. [1:22:18] You're doing a great job. [1:22:19] Smart guy. [1:22:20] We ended Medicaid for Legal Immigrants. [1:22:23] And we redirected $50 billion to make the largest investment in rural health [1:22:29] in the history of our country, hospitals and everything else in the rural areas. [1:22:33] And with the help of our Republican majorities in Congress, we will defend our jobs, our [1:22:39] factors, our safety, and we will defend our borders like never before. [1:22:43] We will crush violent crime, impose harsh new penalties on dangers to repeat offenders [1:22:49] that shouldn't be in our country. [1:22:51] Crack down on moxers, prosecutors, and judges. [1:22:54] And we will immediately end the most dangerous thing that's ever been put into our country [1:23:01] from the standpoint of law enforcement. [1:23:04] It's called no cash bail. [1:23:06] You kill someone, you go to the judge, and then you kill somebody in the afternoon. [1:23:11] That was the beginning of crime. [1:23:13] We will pass the great healthcare plan to stop all payments to big insurance companies [1:23:19] and give the money directly to the people so they can buy their own healthcare, which [1:23:24] will be much better care at a much lower cost. [1:23:28] And we will pass the Save America Act to protect our sacred American election. [1:23:38] In the Save America Act, it's very simple. [1:23:47] All voters must show a photo, voter ID. [1:23:51] Very nice. [1:23:52] May we see a picture, please. [1:23:54] All voters must provide proof of citizenship. [1:23:57] And there will be no mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, military deployment, [1:24:02] or travel. [1:24:03] And we will also, in that same bill, enshrine, in permanent law, no men in women's sports [1:24:15] and no transgender surgery for our children. [1:24:22] So together, with the help of patriots throughout Pennsylvania and all across the land, [1:24:29] we will make America powerful again. [1:24:32] We will make America wealthy again. [1:24:37] We will make America healthy again. [1:24:43] It all happened. [1:24:44] It all happened. [1:24:45] We will make America strong again. [1:24:50] We will make America proud again. [1:24:53] We will make America safe again. [1:24:57] And we will make America great again.
