Trump Speaks To GOP Lawmakers As Iran War Intensifies

[0:00] it's not a big majority but it's just about the most consequential the job you've done is incredible [0:06] and they are members that are warriors and really people that are for the american people and that's [0:12] why you're doing well and i think that's why we're going to continue to do well we're fighting a [0:16] little tradition you know historically the person that wins democrat or republican wins the [0:22] presidency for whatever reason it doesn't work out but we've done a lot i don't know we've done [0:28] i think we've done i think we had the best first year of any president ever and that includes you [0:34] you came along with me you made it happen so with your help and hard work we're making america great [0:41] again and we're doing it much faster than we thought and it's better stronger and our country is [0:48] doing really well i mean at a level that nobody thought we took a little excursion because we [0:53] felt we had to do that to get rid of some evil and i think you'll see it's going to be a short-term [0:59] excursion how good is our military right amazing oh good short term short term thank you they're [1:17] great you know we all together in my first term we rebuilt our military and i didn't know i'd be using [1:25] it so much in the second term but we have a military like no other is not even close but i especially want [1:32] to recognize the rest of our amazing house republican leadership team and so many of my friends that are [1:38] congressmen some senators we have some great people in this room but including a majority leader a real [1:46] brave guy because i know the real story i was there that night with him in the hospital when he was [1:52] given a very small chance of living by a doctor who was very good by a wife who was desperately in love [1:59] with him she cried so much because i've seen the other two i've seen guys at the end of the line [2:04] the wives aren't exactly shaken up when they don't cry when they have no tears or any sign of tears this [2:14] is not a good sign of a great marriage but he must have a great marker she was really she was just [2:22] devastated she was going to lose her guy but it worked out that uh the doctor said more blood was put into [2:30] him that we've ever that he's ever seen he was he was in big trouble i looked at him that night i said [2:36] goodbye to him but he he made it he was brave and look at the way he fought back for so many different [2:41] things steve scalise and we have another one tom emmer who i really got to know over the last few years [2:53] and i'll tell you uh he's he's a winner he's a champion with another great wife we've got good [3:00] wives up in there you let's say great wife fine husband but tom is a just a real champion and a [3:09] winner and you have a problem you go to him he gets itself so thank you very much great job you've done [3:14] a great job and our conference chairwoman is lisa mclean and and we all know lisa don't get on her [3:22] wrong side it can be a very very bad experience thank you great job great job and a very special [3:32] thanks you know you broke a record this is over 20 million this is uh it's the biggest of these type [3:38] of events that there's ever been by actually by a lot you know you didn't just break it you broke it by [3:44] a lot so i want to congratulate you but there's just great spirit the republican party has fantastic [3:50] spirit the level i don't think has been seen before i i really don't we have to get a couple [3:57] of people on board which you know at least one case is virtually impossible i wonder who that might [4:04] be sick person but i want to say a very special thanks to everyone at the congressional institute for [4:14] helping organize this event this has been amazing and over the past nine days we've been reminded of how [4:25] vital our republican majorities are and it's you know it's america's future we're only fighting [4:31] because these people you saw the other night at the state of the union you saw these people they [4:37] wouldn't stand for a mother who just lost their daughter by having her throat slit from behind [4:42] they wouldn't stand for the helicopter pilot who just got the congressional medal of honor for [4:48] landing safely in venezuela helicopter with a lot of soldiers on that lot of soldiers on that [4:55] helicopter and he was able to land it safely and he was his leg was practically ripped off [5:02] and for those people that know about helicopters you lend them pretty much with your legs right tom [5:07] you land them with the legs and he was he was in bad shape and he got it he got that not only [5:12] landed he landed in exactly the right spot and exactly as blood was pouring down the aisle which [5:20] didn't make all of those soldiers in the back feel too good looking at a pilot is bleeding out but [5:26] they didn't want to stand for that they didn't want to stand for a 100 year old soldier who was [5:33] who had left a legacy of bravery everybody talked about it for years and it was time for him to get [5:38] the congressional medal of honor they didn't want to stand for him there's something wrong with those [5:43] people and we can't let them ever be in a position where they can leave this country again or destroy this [5:52] country again because we almost lost this country this country was close to being lost [5:58] the representatives in this room provided the pivotal votes in securing a record one trillion [6:04] dollars for the united states military this year and now the world is witnessing the importance of [6:09] that investment with one of the most complex and stunning operations [6:13] ever conducted and that's operation epic fury that's a great name isn't epic fury that's even [6:24] better than midnight hammer which was pretty good too right that was where we knocked out their [6:30] nuclear potential that was a big day because if we didn't do that they would have had a nuclear [6:35] weapon within two weeks and i i think we'd be in a lot different situation and then you had of course [6:42] what they did in venezuela how that was that was just so far so good we've done a real job we've got [6:49] all good ones if you go back and you look at uh afghanistan with biden one of the worst i think the [6:56] most embarrassing moment in the history of our country if you look at what happened with jimmy carter [7:02] with also with iran but if you look at what happened with the helicopters and the hostages it cost [7:09] them the election it was what a what a mess the world respects us right now more than they have [7:16] ever respected us before and because of republicans you people in congress the united states has by far [7:27] the strongest and most powerful military on the face of the earth we're the strongest military anywhere [7:33] on the earth and now everybody understands it together with our israeli partners we're crushing the [7:41] enemy and an overwhelming display of technical skill and military force iran's drone and missile [7:48] capability is being utterly demolished the navy is gone it's all lying at the bottom of the ocean 46 [7:55] ships can you believe it in fact i got a little upset with our people i said what quality of ship [8:01] excellent sir top of the line i said why did we just capture the ship we're going to use it why did we [8:06] sink them they said it's more fun to sink them he said that's they like sinking them better they [8:13] say it's safer to sink him i guess it's probably true but uh think of it we knocked out 46 it actually [8:20] took three and a half days their terrorist leaders are gone we're counting down the minutes until they [8:28] will be gone think of it we had leaders and they're gone that we had new leaders and they're [8:33] gone and now nobody has any idea who the people are that are going to be the head of the country [8:38] and will not relent until the enemy is totally and decisively defeated as and remember iran did so [8:53] many bad things they were really if you look at solomany who was taken out as you know that but you [8:59] know who but if you look at solomany the father of the roadside you call it a roadside bomb because [9:06] most people don't understand the different terms it was where they plant bombs and roads as you drive by [9:13] happily drive by the bomb goes off and no matter how strong the armament it just kills the people [9:18] or you lose your arms legs and face and those bombs got worse and worse and he got happier and happier [9:25] and we took him out that was a big thing because he was the head it might have been a much different [9:30] story they may have been much more capable than they are had he lived because he was capable he was [9:35] vicious violent and capable but we got rid of him first term and we did so many things i mean we've [9:42] done so many things but as you know on saturday i traveled to dover air force base to be with the [9:50] families of six fallen warriors as they returned to american soil and i know that everyone in this room [9:57] joins me in sending our prayers and eternal gratitude to the families of those great heroes those families are [10:03] incredible families devastating to be hardest thing to do you know i've done it a lot the hardest thing [10:09] to do is to go to dover because dover is where for the most part a lot of the the fallen the warriors [10:17] the great young people that have died in war they seem to mostly go to dover they come home to dover [10:25] dover does a great job of handling things they have men assigned to the family they have men and women [10:31] that are incredible assigned to the families it's a beautiful thing but it's also a very sad thing [10:38] but they all said one thing to me make sure you win sir make sure you win they they didn't they [10:44] weren't playing games we want to make sure they said everybody said it they were separate and but [10:53] everybody said the same thing make sure you win we will we've already won in many ways but we haven't won [10:59] enough we go forward more determined than ever to achieve ultimate victory that will end this [11:05] long-running danger once and for all 47 years it should have been done a long time ago [11:11] world would have been a different place had some president had the courage to go and do it they [11:15] should have done it many many times they had many opportunities the united states of america is the [11:21] greatest and most exceptional nation in human history and will not be threatened by evil terrorists and [11:27] lunatics any longer we just can't do that and you know when i always talk about how great our nation [11:32] is i don't know i don't consider our nation very great for four years under biden we were a laughing [11:37] stock all over the world we were laughing stock so you know i say great great great but i don't know [11:44] when you look at what happened with so many different things the open border 25 million people many of them [11:51] very bad people pouring into our country with open borders that just said come on in come on in [11:57] makes no difference they emptied their jails into our country 11 888 murders 50 percent of which [12:05] murdered more than one person the drug dealers came in the mentally insane came in they emptied their [12:13] mental institutions they emptied their insane asylum that's a step above a mental institution they [12:21] emptied them all right into our country and we've done a great job of doing what we've done think of it [12:27] we have the lowest crime rate that we've ever had we have the lowest murder rate in 125 years and [12:35] we're saddled with all of the problems of the criminals that were let in you know look they're [12:40] smart people i know i know the people that run those countries every one of them and they're all streetwise [12:46] very smart and i would do exactly the same thing they emptied their jails into our country i said that [12:52] was going to happen when i heard that they were having open borders i didn't believe that they were going [12:56] to have when i realized that they actually were going to have open borders i said we're going to have [13:01] every person in jail we're going to have every drug dealer we're going to have all these countries all [13:05] over the world the congo they emptied their jails all the way from the congo to all parts of south [13:11] america asia they sent in there people in jail murderers some of the worst people on earth got sent [13:20] into our country and i'll tell you what ice is unbelievable what they have to put up with and [13:26] and how tough they have to be that goes for border patrol and it goes for law enforcement our law [13:32] enforcement people but sadly even as our service members are fighting bravely to protect america [13:38] abroad the democrat minority in congress is deliberately sabotaging our national security at home [13:46] and you're going through it right now fellas i mean you're going through it's not even believable you [13:51] know we should be very safe right now especially when we're attacking somebody that's evil bad [13:57] intention but last week 53 house democrats voted against a resolution affirming that iran remains [14:04] the world's number one state sponsor of terror how the hell would do that i mean almost every act [14:11] whether it's hamas or hezbollah no matter what you take a look it's iran or iran sponsored and even [14:20] more outrageously as we speak democrats have shut down the department of homeland security they've [14:25] got it shut down do you believe it right now because they care more about amnesty for illegal alien [14:32] criminals than about protecting the lives of american simulator they i mean take a look at it the american [14:38] citizen is being scoffed at by democrats it doesn't make sense none of this stuff makes sense to me you [14:46] know when they when they sat and they wouldn't stand up for for incredible people they just refused to [14:54] clap stand up by the end of the speech by the way they were all standing because somebody was passing [14:59] no you people are getting killed tonight they were all said they'd stand up for everything i was saying [15:03] at the end that last half hour they were standing up for things that they shouldn't have stood up for [15:08] because they got the word you're getting killed tonight stand up and clap for the woman that just lost [15:13] her daughter please to a violent criminal but democrats must vote immediately to reopen the [15:21] department of homeland security so that we have the resources to keep america safe and under our pro [15:33] america pro worker pro family agenda our country is winning again and america is respected again and [15:41] i think we have a country that's as hot as it's ever been ever before maybe hotter and i say it all the [15:47] time the king of saudi arabia said it to me better than anybody could say it he said you know i'll [15:52] get along with him very well very smart person he said you know a year and a half ago your country was [16:00] dead absolutely dead we never thought it was coming back and now you have the hottest country anywhere in [16:07] the world it's true we're the hottest country anywhere in the world by far and that's before we showed [16:13] off our military strength with venezuela and now with iran you know iran was supposed to be this big [16:19] powerful country we wrapped the hell out of them and you know i don't know when they cry uncle but they [16:27] should have cried it two days ago right but they don't have anything left in our country inflation is [16:34] plummeting incomes are rising the economy is surging our border is the most secure at any time in american [16:41] history and the murder rate is the lowest in 125 years that's before my father was born my father was [16:47] born six years later than that i don't know if he'd like me to say that never liked to talk about his [16:53] age he said don't talk about that but think about 125 years ago 1900 the year 1900 the stock market has [17:01] set 53 all-time record highs since the election and it's going to go a lot higher as soon as we get rid of [17:07] this stuff that we're doing right now that we really had no choice i mean i think i asked people [17:13] i said would you rather do this or would you rather go along nice and smoothly but eventually have a [17:18] catastrophe the likes of which perhaps the world has never seen and just about everybody says except [17:24] for lunatics said you had to get it done should have been done a long time ago the average 401k is up [17:32] almost 35 000 think of that said the best they've ever done and i think you're going to see some real [17:38] numbers when this gets because this was always a dark cloud hanging over not only israel which was [17:44] going to get wiped out you know if we didn't do that b2 attack israel would have been wiped out they [17:49] would have had a nuclear weapon within two weeks after that and even now i think they were looking [17:54] to take over the middle east because when you look and we have pretty good proof all of those missiles [17:59] that were so stupidly aimed at qatar saudi arabia uae they were all aimed and others at countries that [18:07] were sort of like leave us alone they were all right they were sort of neutral but they weren't [18:15] doing all of a sudden they're getting hit with missiles and they could have gone one of two ways [18:20] they could have gone toward their side like we're with you or they could have gone with our side and [18:25] they really went with our side and they've helped us and they've been a big force but they got hit but [18:31] they were going to be hit with us had we not done the b2 raid and have we not done this one where we said [18:37] nope it's time to go in we have to go in have no choice number one if we didn't go in they would [18:43] have come in after us because i see the democrats trying to justify it and they're failing because [18:48] the voter on the street is saying you've got to be kidding but i see where they're going whether [18:53] they're always saying no no there was no reason well i'll give you the best reason of all within a [18:58] week if they were going to attack us 100 they were ready they had all these missiles far more than [19:04] anyone thought and they were going to attack us but they were going to attack all of the middle east [19:09] and israel and if they had a nuclear weapon they would have used it on israel and this was going [19:14] to be a major attack on all they had all of those missile sites and all those launches that we got [19:20] rid of about 80 percent of them right now by the way got rid of most of the you know see it's died down [19:26] to a trickle there are very few launches left what our military has done is amazing they wiped out the [19:32] almost 20 percent maybe 22 23 but the rest are going very quickly and the missiles have been [19:39] largely knocked out the drones have been knocked down and we're hitting where they make the drones [19:45] we know them all and we're knocking the hell out of that now where they manufactured the drones [19:50] a lot of work a lot of brilliant work but we're going to have a much safer world as soon as it's [19:55] finished and it's going to be finished pretty quickly with the help of our house republican majority [20:00] we passed the largest tax cuts in american history and we have to be talking about it [20:09] and with a great big beautiful bill we delivered no tax on tips no tax on overtime and no tax on [20:15] social security for our great seniors and we did something else which is great that nobody ever talks [20:23] about tom and we have to talk about it we made interest on auto loans fully deductible that's never [20:29] happened we've never had that you know rich people always get deductions but middle income people [20:35] people that have to struggle a little bit never did but now they can deduct the interest paid [20:41] against their taxes it's uh we have one little proviso and i put this on this very important [20:46] only if the car is made in america all right that's going to have a huge impact that's going to have a [20:53] huge impact we passed the trump accounts to give every child in america head start on the american dream [21:01] and that's so good it was i'll tell you the dell family dell computer uh he put up six million two [21:12] hundred and fifty million dollars think of it he started with very little nothing very very little [21:18] started making computers on his bed and he said yeah people started liking them better than the ones [21:25] from the store and he never stopped and he can write a check for six billion 250 million it's he said [21:33] and his incredible wife susan they said that's the best best thing they've ever done he's so proud he's [21:39] going to do it again going to do more and we have a lot of other people a lot of very rich people are [21:44] doing it a lot of people that aren't so rich are doing it they're doing it for their kids but it's [21:49] starting out so some young child turns 18 or 21 and all of a sudden they have a hundred thousand dollars [21:56] in the bank what a difference that is between having that and having nothing and it could be more than [22:01] that could be a lot more depending on what happens with the world and we passed 100 percent expensing [22:08] and bonus depreciation on all new equipment factory construction and investments and that's what made [22:14] our first term we had the greatest economy in the history of our country in the first term [22:18] and this one's going to blow it away again we had a little pause but it's uh not a very big pause [22:25] with your help we also passed the largest regulation cuts in american history ending the green [22:32] new scam one of the greatest scams in history and massively increasing production of american oil [22:37] natural gas and clean beautiful coal we brought coal back you're not allowed to say coal without clean [22:43] beautiful gotta be clean beautiful china uses coal they're building about 65 massive coal plants right [22:52] now but china great respect for china but you know they make all the windmills right the only thing they [22:58] don't do is use the windmills they make them but try finding wind farms in china there aren't too many of [23:05] them in my state of the union address i laid out an ambitious agenda that should be our road map this [23:13] year and it's starting with lowering the cost of living you know they gave us a mess we inherited mess [23:19] an absolute mess and the mess was many things uh they were bad with our military they were they were bad with [23:27] everything i mean i said name one thing that they did right they can't name one thing but they also gave [23:34] us very high prices and then they said the word affordability that's the first time i ever heard [23:41] it they said affordability my first day in office they said affordability they're the ones that caused [23:46] the problem but we're really bringing down prices big do you notice you don't hear that word anymore [23:52] they don't say it anymore because we brought down prices so much [23:56] so our message is simple democrats created the high prices and our policies are totally ending them [24:02] and they've they're ended and we're doing better we're even bringing them down further they'll be way [24:07] down and we're we're bringing you know if you go back into the last um the last period i would say i [24:15] think it's two and a half months 1.7 percent inflation three months 1.45 percent inflation think of that [24:24] whereas they had the highest inflation in the history the single highest inflation in the history [24:30] of our country now you know i always say this they say 48 years because i i don't want the fake news to [24:35] get me on this they say it wasn't history it was 48 years that the inflation was the highest in 48 years [24:42] but i don't know in some ways 48 years sounds even worse because it's very specific but they had the [24:48] highest inflation probably in history but in 48 years we inherited that one of the first targets [24:55] must be the crushing health care we have to crush the and take over the health care situation which we [25:02] can do for the first time we can do it since the passage of the unaffordable care act big insurance [25:09] companies have gotten rich they've made money like practically no other companies have made with our [25:16] government giving them hundreds of billions of dollars and their stock prices soaring to up to [25:22] seventeen hundred percent a thousand percent twelve hundred percent sixteen hundred percent and even a [25:29] seventeen hundred percent the government gave them essentially trillions of dollars and i want that [25:38] money to be paid to the person not to the insurance company and let them go out and buy their own [25:45] health care and people love it people love it you'll get better health care at a much lower cost and [25:53] they'll be sort of part of the system but the money we spend on is so much we spend numbers that nobody [26:00] could even believe but the health care companies because the democrats are owned by the insurance [26:05] companies remember that and so they have a problem that's why it's hard to it's hard to get it fixed [26:12] because they are totally owned and controlled by the health care by the insurance companies health [26:18] care insurance but the insurance companies themselves so when one when you want to do something [26:24] that's good for the people but bad for the insurance companies it's very very hard for them [26:30] to go in in a different way now republicans never do that kind of thing right you have you're owned by [26:35] nobody right nobody see young girl up here say yes some of them are a little bit shaky but but they're [26:43] republicans we love them we love them anyway right mike but they are owned by those big powerful insurance [26:51] companies that are making a fortune and it's hard to get them to do the right thing they know what the [26:55] right thing is so we want the money to be paid directly to the people and let the people go out and buy [27:02] their own health care and people love it they love it we can own the issue for the first time ever [27:09] republicans can own that issue i'm also asking you to take swift action to codify my most favored nation [27:17] policy on drug prices the biggest that alone should win the midterms we have and i tell the story all [27:25] the time my first term third year i actually had a slight it was one quarter of one percent decline in [27:32] drug press first time in 28 years i was so proud i went home told our great first lady who's now a [27:37] movie star i got the biggest can you believe that that movie was hot and it is hot she became a movie [27:46] star it was a good movie but i went home and i said you know it's amazing we we do so well we work so [27:56] hard this issue is the single biggest issue we we okay i had a news conference i'm embarrassed to say [28:07] a long time ago my third term my first term third year because i went up to a level that nobody's [28:16] i did things that nobody's ever done 28 years i brought it down one quarter of one percent [28:21] now i brought it down 80 percent 90 percent 75 percent depending the way on you know that it's driving [28:29] the fake news crazy because i say 400 percent 500 600 depending on the way you want to talk about it [28:36] if you want to talk about pricing but using a conservative number what we've done is we we paid [28:43] the highest price for drugs anywhere in the world and now we pay the lowest price for drugs anywhere in [28:50] the world we are tied for the lowest price whoever has the lowest price that's what we pay and i did [28:58] that through tariffs we had a little disappointing decision to put it mildly from supreme court terrible [29:06] decision for the people but the good news is i have lots of other ways of doing the same thing i just [29:10] have to work a little harder they want me to work harder but we're doing the same thing with a lot of [29:15] work but uh i use tariffs to get this because i went to other countries the drug companies were not easy [29:23] but i got them i said we're not we were paying for a pill 130 that in london and germany and different [29:31] places you'd pay ten dollars so we were paying 13 times more they're paying 10 we're paying 130 [29:39] and the drug companies i called them in we had a rough time but it wasn't that bad and they agreed [29:45] because they knew that i couldn't get the countries you had to get the countries to approve it and i [29:50] called up and you've heard me say this a couple of times not often but i called the countries up i called [29:56] up france i said emmanuel you have to cut your your good friends from america a reasonable deal what's [30:05] happening is you are paying a tiny fraction for drugs no no donald i cannot do anything about that [30:10] i said you can you can he said no no i will not do it i will not do it because he'd have to raise his [30:16] pill from 10 to 20 and maybe even 30. ours would come down from 13 130 down to 20. think of that from [30:26] 130 that's what you're going to get from 130 to 20. but he has to double his price from 10 [30:34] and they were the boss i said no no you will no donald donald i cannot do that and i heard this from [30:40] all the other countries too very elegant people and they were saying no no no we cannot do this we will [30:45] not do this i said yes you will 100 no no we will not because you know they have to double up their prices [30:52] and i said well here's the story if you don't do it i'm going to put [30:56] in the case of emmanuel i said a 100 tariff on all wines and champagnes coming into the united [31:02] states no no donald you cannot do that i said i've already got the legislation it's right in front of [31:08] my desk i'm going to sign it emmanuel he said donald i will agree to this so he agreed everybody agreed [31:18] i got every country to agree and now you've done something that no other president could have done [31:23] no i don't want to brag but you know they've said this about a lot of things no other president [31:30] could do some of this i'm doing no other president the things i'm doing nobody else was going to do [31:39] it i say they say it all the time sir could you do this you're the only one can do it but we got it [31:45] done and we got the countries to all go along because i said if you don't do it i'm going to raise [31:50] your tariffs to 200 to 150 percent and that's 10 times more than i'm asking for and every single [31:58] one it would if it took me five minutes that was like a long time i was doing badly with that one [32:05] so now we have most favored nation pricing into permanent law and you should codify it but i don't [32:11] care that much about codifying it because what politician is going to agree to increase drug prices by [32:18] 500 okay so but it's still good to have it codified don't you agree you know they're saying sir we have [32:24] to codify it i said that's okay but i'm not other things you should codify that i can tell you this [32:30] one you should codify because you want to take credit for it you want to take credit for it so if you can [32:36] please codify it get out there and codify you're getting an 80 percent 85 55 70 reduction in drug prices [32:47] codify it but if you don't no president's going to raise it in my opinion although they are crazy [32:53] you know these people are crazy they could find a way you better get it codified and as we work to [32:59] bring down interest rates so that more americans afford a house i'm also asking you to ban the wall [33:06] street firms large world street firms institutional investors from buying up thousands and thousands of [33:14] single family homes hundreds of thousands of homes because homes really are for people not for hedge [33:22] funds we want to get the market out so they can do it and uh we're stopping it we want people to be [33:29] able to buy a house it's the american dream buying a house is a part of the american dream and we must [33:37] also stand up for the safety of our citizens one of my guests at the state of the union was [33:43] ania zuritska the mother of beautiful 23 year old ukrainian girl who was stabbed to death on a train [33:51] in north carolina by a deranged criminal arrested more than a dozen times and i had the mother as you [33:58] know at the state of the union and she was devastated beautiful woman devastated uncontrollably devastated [34:08] and uh we couldn't get one democrat to even clap the republicans clapped and went wild and they loved [34:17] her not one democrat in that whole room even thought about clapping they sat there frozen faced [34:26] disgusting house republicans should get every member of congress on record and pass a tough new crime [34:32] bill that imposes harsh penalties for dangerous repeat offenders which just nut was cracks down on rogue [34:39] judges and prosecutors and ends no cash bail once and for no cash bail is a big part i mean you have [34:47] a man murder somebody and by that afternoon he's out on bail no cash bail it's a huge a huge problem we [34:56] also need to end deadly sanctuary cities and you have bills before you now and you're working on [35:01] things but hopefully you can do that mike because it's terrible they're sanctuary for criminals that's [35:07] all they are sanctuary for criminals they fight ice all the time that was the problem up in minnesota [35:12] they had a lot of criminals in there they wouldn't give it to us and to stop illegal aliens who cannot [35:17] even speak english from driving 18-wheel tractor trailers they have no idea what they're reading [35:23] i wouldn't be able to do it in their countries just arrows it has speed limits they have no idea [35:29] what they're reading and in many cases they're on drugs on top of that we need to ban any state from [35:35] granting commercial driver's licenses to illegal aliens have to do it and i want to thank house [35:45] republicans for passing another common sense measure i i would think it's the easiest thing i just told mike [35:51] you know you were at 19 million dollars i have to say this because i've never contributed i was a huge [35:58] contributor for years and years once i became president i never contributed any money because [36:03] the greatest thing about being president is i no longer have to contribute nobody ever asked me for [36:07] money they asked me for my endorsement i've endorsed just about everybody in the room [36:12] but keep winning right 124 and 0 this tuesday 124 wins no losses is that good and there were some rebels [36:24] we endorsed a few rebels right a few that mike was saying it's going to be a tough one but we're 124 [36:30] or no but as president nobody ever asked me for money and as president you know like as president you [36:38] sort of don't make campaign contributions it doesn't even but i heard you were at 19 million [36:43] dollars today i said has that ever been done no sir it's a record but 20 would sound better right mike yes [36:49] he said i'm going to give you one million dollars it's the first time i've done i never did it before [36:53] i never did it before i never did it before now i'll be hit up by every political group every republican [37:12] running sir could i have to give me a little cash i'll have emmerich come up to me say how about a [37:17] little cash for my campaign i will no longer have the excuse that as president anyway no but we had [37:23] to hit the 20 right we had to hit the 20 that was a hell of a thing you beat it by a lot you beat the [37:28] record the previous record by a lot but i want to thank house republicans for passing another common [37:34] sense measure to me the easiest of all the save america act to protect our sacred american look at this [37:43] look it's the easiest thing we have i can't uh it's the easiest thing we have now the problem is [38:02] you call it the save act and nobody knew what the hell the save act have you been seen i've been working [38:07] overtime for the last month it's called the capital the the save america act and i saw schumer yesterday [38:16] we will stop save america he's getting killed they can't do it and then the things within the save [38:24] america are so good but just the title so we had that with maga greatest name of all time make america [38:30] great again maga it just worked you know i had something keep america great it was good but it didn't [38:39] have that maga you know there was nothing you could see i had kag kag and kag i said you know [38:49] no longer that's not good but maga is great and we'll always respect maga we love maga we're never [38:55] going to let you down with magnet maga but this one's even better if you think about it this says [39:01] america we're going to save america the save america how can they fight us the save america act [39:10] and i've watched them i watch schumer who's horrible what a horrible politician he is now a [39:15] palestinian officially he is he is registered as a palestinian he's a proud he's taken the biggest [39:23] turn of any human being i've ever seen he's gone from totally pro israel to totally pro palestinian [39:32] he wants to protect the iranian people that are quite nasty but it's very simple all voters [39:39] must show the act voter id ready this is not complicated voter identification now if you [39:47] know i have a whole list but i don't want to put i have like hundreds of things on the list if you if [39:50] you go shopping if you do this if you buy a car if you license a car if you point to everything you [39:56] need to have identification so all voters have to show identification id all voters must show proof of [40:04] citizenship in order to vote so you have id and you have citizenship so far good no mail-in ballots [40:11] except for illness disability military or travel mail-in ballots are a disaster jimmy carter the best [40:20] thing he ever did he headed a commission after he was president it was the single best thing and he did [40:26] a thing on mail-in ballots he said mail-in ballots should not be allowed because they are inherently [40:32] dishonest and we have seen it time and time again and we just keep going with it and i put that down [40:39] as a top three look no mail and now you have the exceptions for the military and i would even say [40:45] foreign-based military but for the military for disability for illness and if you're traveling [40:51] you know you have an excuse and i was lenient on that but those three things then i added two more [40:58] these are best of you know best of these are called best of trump we should also add on to this bill and [41:06] so what i've asked mike to do is to draw a new one with these few things added and and let's go for [41:12] the gold let's not just get one like voter id but you know it can be given to you by your daughter [41:20] you know your daughter she has to be of age like above six years old she's allowed to say [41:25] you had to see some of this stuff is so bad they're doing everything possible because they know if [41:32] we get this they'll probably won't win an election for 50 years okay and maybe longer and they're going [41:40] to fight like hell but boy do they get killed because even the democrats you saw the numbers today [41:46] democrats voted 86 percent that this stuff should be passed the democrats with republicans you're at 98 [41:54] percent but democrats are at 86 except for the people that run the democrat party because they [42:01] want to try and win elections illegally it's the only the only reason you vote against voter ideas [42:06] is because you want to cheat there's no other reason they come up with reasons they say it's racist [42:12] that's their number one racist then you have to explain it and they they're just sitting there [42:16] mumbling they can't explain it and it's actually very insulting when they use the term racist very [42:23] insulting to the people that they're trying to so-called defend but they're not defending [42:28] then i wanted to add two more to it because they're i say 95 percent maybe 100 percent [42:35] no men in women's sports very simple add that in and and i wanted to add in one of the i'm not even [42:44] adding in no open borders because you know there's some people that like open borders these people are [42:50] crazy but that's okay because i want five things that are like close to 100 percent no transgender [42:57] mutilization surgery for our children you can't have transgender for our children so those five things [43:07] five things voter id citizenship mail-in ballots no mail-in ballots right we don't want men playing in [43:18] women's sports that's got to be about a close to 100 we don't want men playing in women's sports and no [43:26] transgender mutilation of our children now that should be the easiest thing to get past that you've ever had [43:36] each one it's best of best of trump those are best of trump i have some that are very popular but [43:43] i wouldn't put them in that category this is the number one priority it should be for the house [43:48] and i'd like to ask tom steve mike all of you if you would i'd like to have you go back [43:56] and lisa hello darling she was she was screaming her her affirmation of what i said she went the kid [44:06] went wild she was so happy that somebody finally said let's vote on this lisa you're going to get it [44:14] done okay i'm going to count on you forget the men up here i'm going to count but it's actually a matter [44:19] in a serious way of national survival we can't have these elections going on like this anymore [44:26] you know you use paper ballots if right now they have watermark it's so safe it's so good you put it [44:32] it gets under a light it says you know a code it's very very hard to cheat another thing and i don't even [44:41] bring this up it costs seven percent the cost of those crazy machines you know i love the machines [44:47] where they get the machines they spend all this money and they announce during the election that the [44:52] tabulation will go along for another three weeks right with mail-in voting you know there's not [45:00] a country in the world that does mail-in ballots anymore they tried it france tried it it failed [45:07] they go to paper ballots they're all doing paper ballots right now most of them are doing paper [45:12] ballots except us and nobody is doing what we're doing and there's no elections so corrupt as the [45:20] elections in the united states of america and we can solve them with this and the reason i put those [45:27] other two that have not much to do with it is because they are equally popular and i think it might [45:33] help us and for those people that like fiza i said maybe you put them together because a lot of people [45:39] feel very strongly about fiza some people don't but the people that want it they really want it and [45:44] generally for whatever reason they're opposed to what we're saying about you know about the ballots [45:51] and about citizenship and all of those things and so put them together and you might get a vote [45:56] but we have to get it done and then we have to get the senate to do it but if you could send a bill [46:01] up to the senate a real we're going for the gold we don't want what was said the save act it was all [46:08] right nobody knew what the hell it was including me i kept saying what's this save america act don't [46:15] ever say save act again it's a loser the save act nobody has any idea what we're what are we trying to [46:23] save it's the save america act if you could send it up in full form full form meaning just straight we [46:35] will i think the senate has to approve it i really do i think and they're going to have to go the [46:40] filibuster and maybe it's going to be the talking filibuster like the old days to great jimmy stewart [46:47] right remember the great movie jimmy stewart but they have to get it done because if we don't get this [46:53] done i'm for if it takes you six months i'm for not approving anything i'm for not approving anything [46:59] i don't think we should approve anything until this is approved and they can't win politically look [47:06] you have them in a corner and they're listening to every word i'm saying it doesn't matter because [47:09] they can't win it politically because when they say we don't want voter identification we don't want [47:15] proof of citizenship all these things are just losers for them and they can't they won't be able to [47:22] withstand it just like at the state of the union they started clapping at the end i said that and [47:28] the reason because politically you have to stand for these great people that were being and the word [47:35] came out from people watching it on television you guys are getting killed and this is an even bigger [47:43] example so if you could if i could ask the people in this room to go for the gold we're going for [47:51] the gold we're not going for the bronze we're not going to sign a watered down version like has been [47:56] sent up there let's go for the gold and let's just not accept anything else i'll tell you what i'm [48:03] i'm willing to just sort of say i'm not going to sign anything until this is approved i really am [48:08] but that's how bad it is and we're going to have to push the senate because you have four or five senators [48:14] that are i don't know four or five republican senators you'll have to explain them to me but we're not going [48:22] to get into that but we're going to push them to get it done because i don't think you can politically [48:27] exist if you're not going to do voter id and these things i don't think the people in this country will [48:31] stand for it so i'm making my biggest plea tonight it'll make you and and i'm not doing it for this [48:37] reason at all it'll guarantee the midterms it'll guarantee the midterms if you don't get it big trouble [48:46] my opinion if you get this your midterms and they know it for two reasons number one they won't be [48:52] able to cheat and number two the people are demanding it every time i go out save america [49:00] sir save america act we want to save america act sir that's all they talk about they don't talk about [49:06] housing they don't talk about anything that's what they talk about and if you send it up that you're [49:12] going to win the midterms at levels that you can't even believe and you're going to win every election [49:16] for a long time until somebody really screws things up and hopefully that won't happen but i've [49:22] never been more confident that if we keep these promises and deliver in this popular agenda the [49:28] american people will stand with us in overwhelming numbers just as they did in 2024 i heard mike [49:35] say it's actually 78 million votes but it was actually 86 you know they cheated like hell [49:40] unless but it was too big to rig remember we did i won three times first time was great second [49:47] time they cheated like hell it was coveted and uh their cheating was at an inspirational level [49:54] we can't let that ever happen again and then they cheated again in the last election but [49:59] i i went up i the term i used most was too big to rig you got to go out don't believe because we had [50:06] polls having us way up i said don't believe the polls go out and vote make it too big to rig and that's [50:12] what happened except a couple of races they cheated or they got away with it couple of senate races my [50:17] opinion but we have to make it too big to rig and that's what we did but we shouldn't have to win [50:24] an election that way you could have a hard time winning elections that way so you got to get that [50:28] passed and if we fight fight fight we will win win win and we will make our country safer and stronger [50:36] and richer and greater than it ever has been before and i want to say very importantly because they would [50:42] like you not to say this because this is a terrible thing in their opinion to say god bless you and god [50:48] bless america thank you very much everybody thank you very much
