President Trump delivers remarks in Suffern, NY

[0:00] Thank you very much. [0:01] They said the weather was going to hold us back. [0:07] No weather's holding us back. [0:08] I want to thank Jackson. [0:13] This is going to be a future Hall of Famer in my life. [0:17] Thank you. [0:18] Thank you. [0:20] A lot of talent. [0:22] And a very special hello to a place that I really do love. [0:26] It's called New York. [0:27] We've got to straighten this place out. [0:31] And I'm thrilled to be back in this incredible state with the proud, hardworking patrons of... [0:37] Did you ever hear of Rockland County? [0:39] So I was born and raised in New York State, and my heart has always been here. [0:45] I love this place, and we've got to straighten it out. [0:48] We've got to get it back. [0:50] We've got to get it back. [0:52] We're not going to let this happen. [0:55] We're sending a lot of money your way. [0:57] We're going to get it back, but we need talent. [0:59] That's why we have some of the people that you see right here. [1:02] We have a lot of talent, a lot of political talent. [1:04] From the beginning, this was a symbol of American excellence and American grit and really the [1:11] American dream. [1:12] And New Yorkers are people who built Wall Street into the world's financial capital, [1:17] who turned Broadway into the heart of American culture and entertainment, who dug the Erie Canal. [1:25] Do you know what the Erie Canal is? [1:26] Big stuff. [1:27] And launched a thousand innovations and built, really, the middle class, the middle class of our country. [1:33] You really built the country. [1:34] Unfortunately, in recent years, the state's been held back by bad policies, bad politicians, [1:41] and foolish, radical left idiocy. [1:45] It's crazy what's going on. [1:49] But under the Trump administration, we're doing everything we can to bring New York back in bigger, [1:55] better, stronger than ever before. [1:57] And I'll introduce him in a second, but you have a guy named Bruce Blakeman. [2:05] Let me just say he's a friend of mine for a long time. [2:07] He won in landslides in Nassau County. [2:11] If you know Nassau County, it's all Democrat. [2:15] He's a Republican, and he won in landslides. [2:18] And he just had the biggest election in the history of Nassau County as a Republican. [2:23] And he's very conservative, by the way. [2:25] I don't want to scare you. [2:27] He's right here. [2:28] Bruce, I'm going to introduce you in a second. [2:30] You better get ready, Bruce. [2:32] He's going to win. [2:34] He's going to win. [2:34] And, you know, when he ran years ago, he ran in Nassau. [2:40] They said, you've got to be kidding. [2:41] It doesn't happen. [2:42] No Republican wins in Nassau. [2:44] And he ran and he won. [2:46] And you better watch yourself. [2:49] You better watch yourself, Taffy. [2:51] You've got a race. [2:54] You've got a big race. [2:55] So we're going to start turning New York around. [3:00] I'm going to work with Bruce. [3:01] I'm going to work with the whole group in New York. [3:04] We're going to work with Mike. [3:06] Mike Lawler's fantastic. [3:08] He's fantastic. [3:12] He is a fantastic... [3:13] I call him Mr. Salt. [3:15] He didn't stop. [3:16] He wouldn't stop. [3:17] He was driving us crazy. [3:19] We have to get Salt. [3:20] We have to get Salt back. [3:22] And he got it back. [3:23] And he's a terrific guy. [3:24] You're lucky to have him. [3:25] I'll tell you. [3:26] He loves you. [3:26] He loves his... [3:27] He loves this place. [3:29] Mike. [3:30] Great. [3:30] Great, Mike. [3:33] It's... [3:34] Terrible things are happening. [3:37] However, we have to take the good with the bad. [3:40] Companies are leaving. [3:41] Rich people are leaving. [3:43] People that pay a lot of money. [3:45] All these rich companies, big, fat, beautiful companies. [3:49] They have jobs and they have money and they're taking... [3:52] They're leaving and nobody's stopping them from leaving. [3:56] New York can never... [3:57] If we don't stop this... [3:59] And I'm for you. [4:01] And I'm helping you in Washington. [4:02] Much more than I'm supposed to be helping you. [4:04] Believe me. [4:05] New York can never be the same if it's losing its tax base. [4:09] And the people that pay 85% of the taxes are leaving. [4:17] And we're taking in illegal immigrants. [4:19] Oh, they're wonderful people. [4:21] But they're not paying any tax. [4:22] They're taking your money. [4:23] They're taking your money. [4:28] They're taking your money. [4:29] The people that pay 85% to 90% of your taxes are leaving. [4:34] And you know, when they go, they never come back. [4:38] They never come back. [4:39] Nobody calls them. [4:40] Nobody does anything. [4:42] Nobody talks to them. [4:43] Nobody says, please don't leave. [4:45] We'll give you a tax, babe. [4:47] We'll do anything. [4:48] Don't leave. [4:50] But they're leaving. [4:50] They're going to Florida. [4:51] They're going to Tennessee. [4:53] They're going to Texas. [4:54] They're going to South Carolina and North Carolina. [4:58] They're going all over the place. [4:59] But they're leaving and we can't let it happen. [5:01] It's a great place. [5:03] We can't... [5:03] Bruce will stop it. [5:05] Mike will stop it. [5:06] They're all going to stop it. [5:08] They'll bring them back. [5:09] On top of that, the streets are dirty. [5:14] The crime is out of control. [5:16] We have a family here that's so incredible. [5:19] Really two families. [5:20] We have somebody else. [5:21] We're giving them the Presidential Medal of Freedom. [5:25] Something we've never done for this reason. [5:27] But the mother is here of a great young man. [5:31] We're going to give him a very special honor. [5:35] The illegal aliens are all over the place. [5:37] The people are getting shot left and right. [5:39] The elections are rigged. [5:40] They don't have voter ID. [5:43] They don't have proof of citizenship. [5:45] Think of it. [5:46] We want to get the Save America Act passed now. [5:51] Look at the Save America Act. [6:13] It's voter ID. [6:15] Who's against voter ID? [6:17] You ever see the Democrat National Convention? [6:19] I go with the Democrat. [6:20] Democrat. [6:21] They're Democrat. [6:23] But you ever see it? [6:25] They have cards on them. [6:27] For the Democrat National Convention. [6:29] Cards like bigger than your chest. [6:31] name, address, and everything you want to know about a person. [6:36] They might even have a Social Security number. [6:40] That's to get into their convention. [6:42] But for voting, you're allowed to go in. [6:44] Right? [6:45] It's horrible. [6:46] So it's voter ID. [6:48] It's proof, a little thing called proof of citizenship. [6:51] And it's mail-in voting is a disaster. [6:54] If you have military, if you're going to be away, if you're not feeling well, if you're [7:00] in any way disabled, absolutely we have it. [7:03] We'll be very generous. [7:04] But generally, you've got to go and vote. [7:08] Otherwise, it's a rigged citizen. [7:13] And that, in a nutshell, is the Save America Act. [7:18] Not very complicated. [7:19] Think of it. [7:19] Voter ID. [7:20] Think of it. [7:21] Voter ID, proof of citizenship. [7:24] And mail-in ballots are gone, except if you need it. [7:28] Now, I added two best ofs. [7:31] No men playing in women's sports. [7:33] That's nothing. [7:34] No men. [7:41] Mike, I'm looking at Jackson. [7:44] I'd like to know, is there any woman in the audience that thinks they can tackle that guy? [7:48] Because I'd like to meet you. [7:50] I'd like to shake your hand. [7:52] I don't know. [7:54] Jackson, you think you could play against women okay? [7:56] Do you think you'd have any problem? [7:57] I don't think so. [7:58] But don't get involved, Jackson. [8:00] Don't get involved. [8:01] Don't get involved, Jackson. [8:03] Don't answer that question. [8:04] No, I'm looking at the legs. [8:06] These beautiful guys got legs like tree trucks. [8:08] This is not a good thing for women. [8:11] This would not be good. [8:13] No, it's no good. [8:16] And we don't want open borders where prisoners pour in from other countries all over the world. [8:21] They pour in. [8:22] We don't want open borders. [8:24] We don't want sanctuary cities where you have sanctuary for criminals. [8:29] We don't want it. [8:30] We don't want transgender mutilization of your children, if that's okay. [8:34] We don't want it. [8:39] But, you know, I looked at a story, or read a story yesterday, where the pharmacies, they're going out of business. [8:48] They have glass all over the place. [8:51] You want toothpaste. [8:53] You have to open up, you have to get a clerk to open up the thing. [8:57] And they open, and they hand them a toothpaste. [8:59] And in the meantime, other people are waiting to steal it. [9:02] They got for a guy. [9:03] They were saying a guy right here, Mr. Lutnik, said. [9:06] Mr. Lutnik, he's a rich guy. [9:08] But he was in a store. [9:09] And he noticed when he was in a drugstore, the people were with duffel bags. [9:14] They're putting crap in a duffel bag and walking. [9:17] And the clerk says, you're not supposed to be doing that. [9:19] And the kid said, the hell with you, walks out. [9:23] And if the clerk does anything at all, they arrest the clerk. [9:28] How screwed up is our country? [9:30] How the hell do you make your money if you've got to open up glass, expensive glass, to give somebody a toothbrush? [9:39] Or to give somebody some toothpaste? [9:41] That does not sound like a good business bottle. [9:45] So you have empty stores. [9:46] The whole thing, we've got to change it. [9:49] Now, the way you stop that, you know how you stop that? [9:53] You come down hard on those people. [9:56] Hard. [9:56] In one day, you solve that problem all over the country. [10:04] You just come down so hard that they never forget it, and they'll never do it again. [10:09] They'll never do it again. [10:10] It's horrible. [10:11] What's happening is horrible. [10:15] And it's all in the blue cities, you know. [10:18] It's all blue. [10:19] The 25 worst cities are blue. [10:21] Blue means Democrat. [10:24] That's a new name I came up with. [10:25] You've never heard. [10:27] I was thinking about this character we have in the house. [10:31] His name is Hakeem Jeffries. [10:37] And he's a low IQ person, very low IQ. [10:41] And I watched what he was saying and what the horrible things he was saying. [10:44] And I said, he's a dumb guy. [10:46] I said, wait a minute, he's a Democrat. [10:49] That's how I got the name. [10:50] You take the E out. [10:53] You don't use the B. [10:54] A lot of people don't know dumb has a B in it, actually. [10:57] You don't need it. [10:58] You discard the B. [10:59] But you take the E out and you replace it with a U. [11:03] They're dumb. [11:04] They are Democrats. [11:06] You know why? [11:07] Because their policies are dumb. [11:10] Their policies are very dumb. [11:13] All of that policies. [11:14] Did you see they did an autopsy on why they lost the election? [11:17] And they said, you lost the election because of Trump, primarily. [11:22] But other than Trump, you lost the election because you had crappy candidates and you had [11:26] bad policy. [11:28] And they didn't know how to speak properly. [11:30] And they weren't smart people and various other reasons. [11:33] They spent $10 million for the autopsy. [11:37] It was called an autopsy. [11:39] And they had typos. [11:40] Jackson, they had typos in every other sentence. [11:43] They had misspelled words. [11:45] They had commas in the wrong location. [11:47] They gave them $10 million for the autopsy. [11:49] I could have given them the autopsy without any charge at all. [11:55] I said, you had one candidate named Sleepy Joe Biden. [12:00] What's a better name? [12:01] Sleepy Joe Biden or Crooked Joe Biden? [12:04] Ready? [12:05] Who likes Sleepy Joe Biden? [12:07] Who likes Crooked Joe Biden? [12:17] They're both pretty good. [12:19] Who likes Crooked Hillary? [12:24] Anyway. [12:27] But you know, we have another problem because we have the great law enforcement. [12:31] I met a lot of your law enforcement back there. [12:32] They're incredible. [12:33] But law enforcement, I love them. [12:40] I got 99% of law enforcement vote. [12:42] Can you believe it? [12:44] And we're trying to figure out, we're trying to figure out who were the 1%. [12:48] We want to figure out who the hell were the 1%. [12:51] Who would vote for Kamala? [12:53] Who would vote for Sleepy Joe? [12:55] But even the police are leaving. [12:57] They're going to Florida, Tennessee, Texas. [12:59] They're going all over the place. [13:02] Where they put them, really, where they give them respect. [13:05] The respect they have, our respect. [13:06] They have everybody in this room's respect. [13:08] But it's this radical turnaround. [13:12] And we better do it fast because we're not going to have a New York left. [13:15] We've got to have New York left. [13:17] And you really can. [13:18] Guys like Mike Long. [13:20] Guys like Bruce Blakeman. [13:22] You put them in, they'll turn it around. [13:27] Bruce will go down to Florida and he'll talk to all those companies that are leaving. [13:32] You'll get them to come back. [13:33] He's going to get them back. [13:34] It's not easy. [13:35] It's a lot easier to stop them from leaving. [13:38] Don't you think, Bruce? [13:39] So, but it's a campaign that I promised that I would cut taxes. [13:44] I had a big, beautiful campaign. [13:45] We won in a landslide. [13:47] We won every swing state. [13:49] We won by millions of votes. [13:51] We won the Electoral College in our fortune. [13:53] But we had another thing that we won, 86% of the counties in America. [13:59] Think of it. [14:00] That's why the map is all red except for two blue stripes. [14:03] And those were rigged, by the way. [14:05] They were rigged. [14:06] They were rigged. [14:07] We had rigged elections. [14:08] But I cut your taxes and cut the taxes on workers, families, small businesses who are the soul of the state. [14:16] And I made special promises that I would save your thousands of dollars a year by restoring, and we did that, your state and local tax deductions. [14:26] And what did we say? [14:28] Your SALT deduction. [14:30] We brought it back. [14:32] Mr. SALT. [14:34] Mr. SALT. [14:36] Where's your hat, Mike? [14:37] He's got a hat calling himself Mr. SALT. [14:41] There it is. [14:42] Beautiful. [14:43] I think I'll take one of them. [14:45] But he did. [14:46] He didn't stop. [14:47] This guy was a pain in the ass. [14:49] It was terrible. [14:50] He didn't stop. [14:52] But he did. [14:52] You're lucky to have him in this community, then I can tell you. [14:56] And you had some good help from Republicans. [14:59] Right? [14:59] Good help from Republicans. [15:01] But with the help of your great congressman, it's what happened. [15:05] We got your taxes cut, not only from the standpoint of SALT, but your taxes were cut. [15:11] Your take-home pay is short. [15:13] And all of the other things that we did, when you look at what we've done, and my motto is [15:19] promises made, promises kept. [15:21] And here in Rockland County, the typical owner, you know, your typical homeowner loses over [15:27] $15,000 each year alone because of your state taxes. [15:32] They're going to cut your state taxes in half, in more than half. [15:36] They will do things that you won't believe. [15:39] And you know the bottom line is? [15:41] The state itself will make more money than it made before. [15:45] I did it. [15:46] I cut tremendous amounts of taxes in my first term. [15:50] We had the greatest, most successful economy in history. [15:53] And by the way, we're blowing it away in this term. [15:57] So, today, today, today, we just, an amazing thing happened. [16:04] They said it couldn't happen for four years. [16:07] An amazing thing. [16:08] The Dow Jones hit 50,702. [16:13] And the S&P is way over 7,000. [16:19] So, these were two things that said, they said, he won't be able to do, when I first [16:24] got elected, they said, he won't be able to do that. [16:28] There's no way he's going to be able to do that in his first term, which is my first term [16:33] of numerous terms. [16:35] By the way, you know we're a three-term president. [16:38] We just don't want the results. [16:39] We don't want, we won three times, but we only want the results of the first and the third. [16:46] We have a hat, the hat says four more years, it drives the radical left lunatics crazy. [17:05] But we did all of the different things, and we've saved you from $10,000 to $40,000 a year, [17:11] the people in Rockland. [17:13] On average, over one million New Yorkers claimed the deduction this year. [17:17] You're able to write off nearly $22,000 on average, putting thousands of dollars back [17:23] in your pockets. [17:23] And these are all Republican tax cuts. [17:26] The Democrats voted against every one of these tax cuts, every one. [17:32] They voted, as an example, in favor of open borders. [17:36] They voted against the border. [17:37] They voted against the wall. [17:39] They voted against, they voted against the sanity of when we talk about men playing in women's [17:46] sports. [17:46] I'll tell you how ridiculous it is. [17:48] That's why I love having Jackson, because it's so easy. [17:50] I just say, how would you like to play against him? [17:52] But we have even better Jackson, we have a weightlifter. [17:57] He was a failed male weightlifter, and then he decided to, he decided to transition to the [18:03] other side. [18:04] And they had a major, major contest, an Olympic tryout, and they had a young woman who was [18:11] really good. [18:12] She was one of the greatest ever. [18:14] And she could lift 204 pounds over her head. [18:18] And the record stood for 17 years, Jackson, 17 years. [18:22] And she was going to break the record. [18:25] It was a big record, but she was going to break it. [18:27] And they took an eighth of an ounce, and they put it on one side. [18:31] And they took an eighth of an ounce, and they put it on the other side. [18:34] And her parents were right where you are, you beautiful parents, right? [18:37] Are you parents? [18:38] Yes. [18:39] Even if you weren't, I'll say you are. [18:41] Good job you did. [18:42] Good job, mom. [18:43] And they had this beautiful young weightlifter, female, real female. [18:51] This was a real female. [18:53] So she had an eighth of an ounce, an eighth of an ounce. [18:56] She had like 208 pounds, and she was going to do it. [18:59] And her parents were so proud. [19:01] Her father knew she couldn't do it, but the mother thought she would. [19:04] That's a typical mother. [19:05] The father was sort of not so sure. [19:08] He loved his daughter, but he wasn't sure. [19:10] And she bent over, and she lifted that sucker, and she pulled it up, and she was getting close. [19:14] And she couldn't barely, and the mother was screaming, come on, darling, you can do it. [19:19] Seventeen years it stood. [19:21] Come on, darling, you can do it. [19:23] And she got it up to hear Jackson. [19:26] She was almost, come on, darling, the mother. [19:31] And the father was almost bored, because he knows she's not going to do it. [19:35] And the mother's screaming, come on, darling, I love you so much. [19:39] Mom, I love you. [19:42] And she couldn't do it. [19:45] Boom. [19:45] It dropped. [19:46] And then in sepsis, young transitioned. [19:51] You know, I've gotten very good with the words. [19:53] It took me a long time. [19:54] I used to get criticized. [19:55] He was a transitioned person. [19:58] And he stepped up. [20:00] Now, he was a failed, lowest of the low for the male weightlifters. [20:04] And he stood over that way five times. [20:12] He broke the record by over 100 pounds. [20:18] Isn't this ridiculous? [20:23] Do you want to hear the swimming story or not? [20:25] You know, my wife, the great first lady, number one, you believe, like success for people in the family. [20:43] Now, you can only have, remember, there's one star in a family. [20:46] It doesn't work with them. [20:47] Now, she did a movie, number one movie. [20:49] You saw that? [20:50] Then it went streaming. [20:51] The new thing, streaming, with number one streaming. [20:53] But she says, darling, please, you speak so beautifully. [20:57] Would you do me a favor? [20:58] Don't do the swimming story. [21:00] Don't do the weightlifting story. [21:01] It's so damn unprecedented. [21:05] And also, darling, when you're leaving and they have that song, the gay national anthem, if you remember. [21:14] That's why I did so well with the gay vote, I think, because of that song. [21:17] I did great with the gay vote, better than any republicans ever done by far. [21:22] But my wife, the first lady, a very elegant woman, that's why people love the women, went to see that movie 15 times. [21:28] Okay, ready? [21:29] She said, darling, don't dance, okay? [21:32] It's not presidential. [21:34] Don't do the weightlifting thing, it doesn't look good. [21:37] Don't do the swimming thing. [21:39] So I'll do the swimming thing, Jeff. [21:41] All right, I'll do this. [21:44] Now, a young Olympian, very beautiful Olympian swimmer. [21:48] And, you know, it's sort of like the pyramid, all the great people, they swim against each other from the time they're five years old. [21:55] You know, it just works that way. [21:56] They're better, whether it's golfers or players, baseball, football, football players. [22:01] You were great when you were four years old, you could throw a ball better than anybody else. [22:05] But the truth is, it always works that way. [22:08] This young woman looking for the Olympics, and she knows all the girls on the right and all the girls on the left, [22:14] and she stands, and she's so proud. [22:16] She wants to qualify, and she's really a champion swimmer, and she looks to the left. [22:20] You've heard the story. [22:21] And she sees six girls, and she knows every one of them. [22:26] She looks over there, and she says, hi, hi, how you doing? [22:29] She hates them because, you know, they're competitors. [22:31] But she says, then she looks to the right, and she sees six people, and she knows five of them. [22:36] But there's a person just on her right who's gigantic. [22:41] It's a gigantic person. [22:44] And she's looking up at him. [22:46] At her, excuse me. [22:49] That could be the end of my political career. [22:53] That could be, you cannot do that. [22:55] You cannot, you cannot say looking up at him. [22:58] Because, so she's looking up at her, oh my, she's so, she's so big. [23:05] I've never seen anybody. [23:07] And he has a wingspan, sort of the size of Shaquille O'Neal. [23:15] Go home to mom. [23:18] Go home. [23:41] You know what he doesn't say is his mom's watching the television right now, and she's loving it. [23:49] Anyway, so you have this person, and you know what happened. [23:54] The story is very, very famous, actually, that she was very severely injured. [23:58] You know what injured her? [23:59] Windburned. [24:00] Because he went by her so fast that she got tremendous windburn in the pool. [24:06] Then he finished up the race, and he rested while the other girls came in. [24:12] And it was a very sad occasion. [24:15] But to think that we actually, 15 years ago, 20 years ago, [24:20] could you imagine saying, we will not allow men to play in women's boards? [24:26] Could you imagine saying, and transition, [24:29] can you imagine saying, we will not allow the mutualization of your children? [24:34] If you said that, they'd say, what's wrong with that person? [24:37] Why are they talking that way? [24:38] Today you have to say it. [24:39] Because they do allow, in certain places, still, we've cut a lot of it out, most of it, [24:45] they allow the mutualization of your children, and we don't allow that stuff, [24:49] and we're going to get it the hell out of here. [24:51] I tell people, please don't do it, it's dangerous. [25:06] To do it in this crowd is not a good thing. [25:10] You don't want to do it in a drunk garage. [25:11] I had very little. [25:12] Do you remember originally, I used to have a lot of that, you know, [25:15] the first couple of months I'd have people screaming, [25:18] and they learned it's just not a good thing to do. [25:20] It's not good, it's sort of dangerous. [25:24] And of course, I like things that aren't dangerous. [25:28] I don't like to see people get whacked. [25:30] I don't like it. [25:31] So don't do it. [25:32] But we used to have it all the time. [25:34] My first month or two, oh, boy, guys would start screaming, [25:37] we hate you, son. [25:38] And then all of a sudden it got less, and now it never happens. [25:41] That's the first time it's happened in a long time. [25:43] That's the first time it's happened in a long time. [25:50] If the Democrats gain power, they'll take these deductions and tax cuts away, [25:54] they'll raise your taxes, and they'll, I'll tell you what, [25:59] we want to, all my life, I went through life watching politics, [26:02] I love politics, always watch, I never thought I'd be a politician, [26:05] can you believe I'm a politician? [26:07] I hate, I hate the sound of, but remember, [26:10] although I had a good night the other night, right? [26:12] We knocked out a bad senator from Louisiana. [26:16] We knocked out Massey, a horrible, one of the worst Republican congressmen. [26:26] We knocked out somebody in Georgia, Rathensperger. [26:29] We knocked him out. [26:30] We knocked out everybody. [26:31] We were 38-0. [26:33] Think of that, 38-0. [26:35] Who's 38-0? [26:36] We haven't lost one in years. [26:40] You want to know the truth? [26:41] We have, let me tell you, we have, [26:43] make America greater MAGA, [26:45] we have a movement, the likes of which this country has ever seen. [26:48] And, you know, it's a movement based on common sense. [26:53] It's not that it's conservative, it's conservative, maybe, [26:56] but it's a movement based on common sense. [26:59] We want strong borders, we want good education, [27:02] we want low taxes, we want a strong military. [27:05] How good is our military, right? [27:08] Now, we're doing very well, by the way. [27:15] Well, first of all, Venezuela was up there, right? [27:20] Now, Iran, their Navy's gone, their Air Force is gone, [27:25] everything's gone, their leaders are gone. [27:32] And if you read the fake news, you'd think they're doing just fine. [27:35] They're not doing just fine. [27:36] They want to settle so badly. [27:39] We have the greatest military. [27:40] I just got back from China, President Xi, good man, good man. [27:44] And I'll get killed for saying that. [27:45] They'll say, oh, he called President Xi, good man. [27:49] Well, we had an amazing time. [27:51] But even he had to say, your military is unbelievable. [27:54] This is the head of China. [27:55] We have built, I built the greatest military in my first four years. [27:59] And I didn't know I was going to be using it this much, but we use it. [28:03] And there's nobody like our equipment. [28:06] There's nobody like the stuff we produce. [28:08] But most importantly, there's nobody like our military men and women. [28:14] There's nobody. [28:14] But all my life, I've watched, all my life, I've watched politicians. [28:23] And until this last eight or nine years, they have Trump derangement syndrome. [28:27] They're all screwed up. [28:28] Their wires are all mixed up. [28:30] The Democrats, they always used to say that we will lower your, everybody, Republican, Democrat, [28:38] we will lower your taxes. [28:40] We're going to lower, lower, lower your taxes. [28:42] Now they don't do that. [28:43] They say we will raise your taxes. [28:46] The Democrats, they want to raise your taxes. [28:48] Never forget, not a single Democrat in Congress voted to raise the SALT deduction. [28:57] Mike Lawler and all of his friends sitting up here fought them. [29:02] And they voted against it. [29:08] And by voting against the great, big, beautiful bill, one of the greatest pieces of legislation, [29:12] probably the biggest ever passed, because we put everything in four years. [29:16] That was my idea. [29:17] I said, let's add everything, because these people are crazy. [29:21] We might not get another chance at it. [29:23] We added everything into that. [29:25] That's four years' worth of legislation. [29:27] That's why we're calling it the great, big, beautiful bill. [29:30] No tax on tips. [29:31] No tax on overtime. [29:33] No tax on Social Security for the seniors. [29:38] The Democrats voted for open borders. [29:40] They voted for open borders. [29:42] And if they get in, you're going to have open borders again. [29:45] You're going to have millions of people coming in. [29:47] They voted for men in women's courts. [29:54] They voted against the largest ever investment in school choice. [29:59] Everybody wants school choice. [30:01] And they voted against making interest payments on your auto loans tax deductible. [30:06] That's what you have. [30:08] If it's paid in America. [30:10] So, oh, we have another little disturbance back there. [30:13] Hello. [30:15] Hello, everybody. [30:17] That's okay. [30:19] It's already cleared up. [30:20] What are you doing back there to these people? [30:24] Boy, does that get cleared up fast. [30:25] The guy raises his hand, starts screaming something, and within about two seconds, it's over. [30:31] What happened to him? [30:33] Don't hurt him. [30:34] Don't hurt him. [30:39] Don't hurt him. [30:40] I do that for legal reasons. [30:42] Just wackens. [30:44] That's a great thing to say. [30:45] Do not hurt him under any circumstances. [30:48] And now I can say I'm innocent. [30:52] They voted against the Trump accounts, which provide automatic contributions of $1,000 for every newborn child. [30:59] So they end up being quite wealthy. [31:03] And our record tax cuts are projected to raise incomes for New Yorkers by over $8,000, Mike, on average. [31:11] We're going to boost household take-home pay for you, the people in the room, over $12,000. [31:16] And protect more than 405,000 New York jobs. [31:21] And we've got to protect the jobs. [31:23] We can't let that. [31:24] Just say it again and again and again. [31:26] You can't let these companies go. [31:28] It's easy to say, oh, we don't like the companies. [31:30] They're the ones that supply you with the money and the jobs and everything else. [31:34] You've got to cherish those companies. [31:35] Whether you like them or not, you've got to. [31:37] Last month, the IRS issued the largest average tax refunds to New Yorkers in New York history. [31:44] Think of it. [31:44] You got back the biggest refund that you've ever had. [31:49] And that's all over the country, by the way. [31:52] But I was with the king of Saudi Arabia two years ago, and he's investing over $2 trillion here. [31:59] We have $18 trillion coming in. [32:01] But he said, he said, and you might have heard it just a short time ago, he said, Mr. President, it's amazing. [32:14] Two years ago, you were a dead country. [32:17] Dead. [32:18] We never thought anything was going to happen that could be good for your country. [32:22] You were a dead country with a leader that was a, not a smart person. [32:27] You were a dead country, and today you're the hottest country anywhere in the world. [32:33] It's true. [32:34] We're the hottest. [32:35] Respected by everyone. [32:36] We're respected by everybody. [32:39] The stock market has just said 68 times during my short, a little bit more than a year, 68 days, we hit all-time record highs. [32:51] Since the election, adding $9 trillion in value to your savings and retirement accounts, 401ks. [32:58] Your 401ks, does anybody have a 401k? [33:02] Well, you people are going to vote for me then. [33:06] There's no way, will anybody with a 401k vote against Trump? [33:13] It's always risky to ask that question sometimes. [33:16] It's yesterday. [33:18] It can be a very dangerous way. [33:20] But since I took office, the typical 401k is up more than $30,000. [33:25] And I've created 300,000 jobs in the last two months, basing all extradition. [33:35] Remember this. [33:36] Right now, more people are working in the United States than at any time ever before, by far. [33:42] And in 16 months, we've lifted nearly 5 million Americans off of food stamps. [33:56] And thanks to my strong tariff policy. [33:59] Now, I get into a lot of trouble with tariffs because you remember when I first came out? [34:04] I love tariffs. [34:05] And I said, I love tariffs. [34:06] It's my favorite word in the whole dictionary. [34:08] I love the word tariff. [34:10] And the fake news, look at all of them back there. [34:13] It's a lot of fake news. [34:14] A lot of fake news. [34:17] They're all over the place. [34:19] They're all over the country. [34:20] I got more fake news. [34:22] You know, they hate me, but more do they cover me. [34:26] But I said, my favorite word in the dictionary is tariff. [34:32] And they got after me. [34:33] They said, he's a horrible human being. [34:35] What about family? [34:36] What about God? [34:37] What about religion? [34:38] What about love? [34:39] So now I can say it's my fifth favorite word that I get. [34:42] And I'm okay. [34:43] But because of tariffs, we brought numbers into this country. [34:47] In other words, if you make your product outside of the United States, to get it in here, you [34:52] have to pay a big tariff. [34:54] So what do they do? [34:56] They build their factory in the United States. [34:58] And that's the day of the day. [35:01] And even New York with your bad policies, we have people coming here. [35:05] I'm trying to get them to come to New York. [35:07] We've also cut our gaping trade deficit by, okay. [35:11] If you cut a trade deficit by 1%, a half of a percent, you're a genius. [35:18] I've cut it by 59%. [35:21] It's because of tariffs. [35:26] Because of money we're being made. [35:27] Is that right, Mr. Lutnick? [35:30] Secretary of Commerce is here. [35:31] Looks good. [35:32] Looks handsome. [35:33] Reasonably. [35:33] And he doesn't look like Jackson. [35:35] I'd rather look like Jackson. [35:36] I'll take Jackson any day. [35:38] Under our leadership, factory construction is up. [35:42] New residential construction is way up. [35:45] And consumer spending is way up. [35:48] American companies are ordering core capital goods to expand their operations at the highest [35:54] rate in the history of our country. [35:57] And last year, General Motors announced a new manufacturing investment of a billion dollars [36:02] in upstate New York to produce V8 engines, which they never would have done here. [36:07] They were all made in Germany and other countries. [36:10] Now they're making them here because if they don't, they have to pay a big penalty. [36:14] And they're stamping them at my instruction, made in the USA. [36:19] Made in the USA. [36:24] Joe Boni is building a $1.2 billion dairy plant in Rome, New York. [36:29] The largest investment in the history of the company, big company, and Micron. [36:33] Boy, Micron's great. [36:35] They're investing hundreds of millions. [36:37] In fact, it'll be probably, could be very close by the time they finish out, over $100 [36:43] billion in Clay, New York. [36:46] Anybody come from Clay? [36:48] You will be there when you go up and look for a job. [36:52] My administration and our allies in Congress are also fighting every single day to lower [36:58] the cost of living. [36:59] So, I got into office. [37:01] I won the election in a landslide. [37:04] And I go, I have a new scarf. [37:06] Thank God. [37:11] I mean, not to brag. [37:13] But if I didn't win the election, we were dead. [37:15] The welfare was tripling and the business was leaving. [37:20] And the $18 trillion would have been $18 trillion to the negative instead of the positive. [37:25] We would have been a dead country. [37:27] We would have been finished. [37:29] It's true. [37:30] We ended Joe Biden's insane electric vehicle mandate. [37:33] That's where they wanted everybody to buy an electric car. [37:38] And as I told Elon, I love electric cars. [37:41] But Elon, it's not for everybody. [37:44] You know, we would build the charging booths, right? [37:47] It would cost the country $4 trillion. [37:49] No country could afford that. [37:52] You ever get an electric car and you shouldn't get nervous because, you know, your thing is [37:57] down a little bit. [37:57] Friends of mine tell me it starts down a little bit, getting close. [38:01] And you're looking, what about a charging station? [38:03] You know, this is an hour before it runs out. [38:05] Where's the charging? [38:06] And then you see it. [38:07] It's a sign. [38:09] And it says, charging station, an arrow pointing to the right, 92 miles. [38:15] And you limp in, if you're making it all. [38:18] Now, we love electric cars. [38:20] I have to say that because of Elon. [38:21] But I love electric cars. [38:23] They're lovely, lovely vehicles. [38:25] But I said, I don't want, not everybody who wants to have an electric car. [38:29] And I ended that whole nonsense. [38:31] By 2030, you're going to all have electric cars? [38:33] I don't think so. [38:35] How about California? [38:36] They have electric cars. [38:37] They can't, they don't have enough electricity to turn on your air conditioners. [38:40] They have brownouts and now everybody's going to have an electric car. [38:45] That's one of the worst governors in the country, by the way, that guy. [38:48] But he took himself, did you hear he announced he's taken himself out of the race? [38:54] He called himself a dumb person. [38:57] He got very low board scores. [39:01] Everything he's done is tough and he can't read his speech. [39:03] He can't read his speech. [39:05] So, I don't read too many speeches either. [39:07] I'd be better off if I did. [39:09] But he can't read his speech. [39:11] But he called himself a dumb person. [39:13] And when you do that, I say it. [39:16] And a friend of mine, very good in politics, say, don't worry, people forget about it. [39:20] I don't know. [39:21] I don't think he can, I thought it was the worst. [39:23] He did this during an interview. [39:24] I thought it was the worst interview by a professional politician in the history of our country. [39:31] Because Gavin, I think, is, when he says he's stupid, he said he's stupid. [39:36] But remember? [39:37] But he said he's smarter than the people in the room. [39:39] And then he got sued for being a racist. [39:42] Okay? [39:43] And I guess he probably is a racist. [39:45] But he said he was a stupid person. [39:47] You'll never hear me call myself a racist. [39:49] I'm the smartest guy you're ever going to be. [39:52] And don't you want to have a smart person? [40:02] In fact, I took the cognitive test. [40:04] I'm the only one. [40:07] You know, they called me originally. [40:09] They said, he's brilliant. [40:11] He wants to take over the entire country. [40:14] Then they said, no, no. [40:16] He wants the world. [40:17] He doesn't want the country. [40:18] That's why he's in Iran. [40:19] That's why he's in... [40:20] Hey, by the way, how do we do it in Venezuela? [40:22] Not bad. [40:22] You know, we've taken out so much oil in Venezuela. [40:28] We paid for the cost of the war about 25 times over. [40:31] When did you hear that last? [40:34] You know, it's a one-way street. [40:36] But no, no, the doctor said, doctor, let me ask you a question. [40:40] They called me genius and that didn't work. [40:42] Then they said, he's totally brilliant. [40:44] He's a vicious dictator who wants to take over. [40:46] And that didn't work. [40:47] And then they called me this. [40:48] And then they said, they hit me with a bad one. [40:50] He's a dumb person. [40:52] D-U-M. [40:54] Not the B. [40:55] He's a dumb person. [40:57] It's enough. [40:58] Most people don't know it has to be. [41:00] He's a dumb person. [41:01] I said, doctor, I don't mind being called a brilliant, total tyrant dictator, but I don't [41:08] want to be called dumb. [41:10] What do I do, doctor? [41:12] Is there some kind of a test I can take? [41:14] He said, actually, sir, there is. [41:16] It's a cognitive test. [41:17] I said, how many presidents have taken it? [41:19] None. [41:20] You know this story. [41:21] No people have taken it. [41:23] I said, well, is it good or bad? [41:26] Is it tough? [41:27] It's a tough test. [41:28] It starts off easy. [41:29] It gets very, very tough. [41:30] I said, well, you know what I'm going to do? [41:32] I'm going to take that test, I think, doctor, because I do good on tests. [41:35] I'm going to take that test. [41:37] And let's see how we do. [41:38] He said, here's the problem, sir, if you do badly on the test, it's going to be reported [41:42] because it's a Walter Reed Medical Hospital. [41:44] It's a military hospital. [41:46] It's sort of public. [41:47] So you have five doctors sitting there and they're all, if you do badly on it, sir, and [41:52] you could do badly because, you know, the questions are very easy in the beginning. [41:57] They're pretty easy. [41:58] They're pretty hard. [41:59] By the time you get to the end, there are not a lot of people in the room getting it. [42:02] Believe me. [42:03] I said, well, it will be public, won't it? [42:06] It'll be embarrassment. [42:07] But let's do it. [42:08] This was in my first term. [42:09] I took it and I aced it. [42:11] And they had very, they had tough questions. [42:17] So the first question was, you have a bear, a snake, an elephant, and a horse. [42:26] Name the horse. [42:28] That's the horse. [42:30] The second question's a little bit tough. [42:31] And then it goes, so the New York Times does a story to show the test that I just aced. [42:36] And they only used the first question. [42:38] They didn't go into the other questions. [42:40] They didn't go in. [42:41] But toward the end, like they had a question, like, pick a number, sir. [42:46] Any number. [42:46] Okay. [42:48] 203. [42:49] Multiply times nine. [42:52] Divide by two. [42:54] Add on 1,324. [42:58] Subtract 1,292. [43:02] Sir, multiply it out one more time by 19. [43:08] What is the answer, sir? [43:11] And I got it right. [43:12] The one doctor said, I've been doing this test for 20 years. [43:20] I've never seen anybody ace it. [43:22] So then what happened, that was my first term. [43:24] And that quieted people down. [43:26] It was good. [43:27] And then what happened, I did it twice in my second time. [43:29] So I've taken it and I've aced it all three times, I'll tell you. [43:32] Because it is a positive thing. [43:35] Nice to be smart. [43:36] But remember, I said, and I made the statement, all presidents and vice presidential candidates [43:44] should be forced to take a cognitive test and test on the telegrams. [43:48] And I said it loud. [43:50] Obama couldn't do well on it. [43:52] Biden wouldn't even get the first question. [43:53] I don't think he'd get the first question. [43:55] Which is the bear? [43:57] Which is the horse? [44:01] No, what did he get? [44:02] You know, I have a friend, he's very good politically, but he has a test. [44:06] He owns, like, stores. [44:09] Little stores. [44:09] He's not super rich. [44:12] In fact, he's not even rich. [44:14] But he's got, he makes a living, as the expression is. [44:16] But I knew him a long time. [44:17] I like to keep my old friends. [44:19] I like to do really much better than them. [44:21] I don't like friends that become very successful. [44:24] I like people that are just okay. [44:27] Even if they're terrible, I like that too. [44:29] I hate, like, when I have lunch with somebody that's really, really successful. [44:36] I hate it. [44:37] Because he or she is bragging about how great they are, and I hate that when they do. [44:42] Because they stop me from talking about the fact that I became president. [44:46] But I have a friend, and he said, you know, I have a simple test for a politician. [44:56] I own stores. [44:58] I'm really good at it. [44:59] It's not a complex business. [45:01] And I say, how would a president do running my store while I'm away on vacation? [45:06] He said, I take one store, not three or four. [45:09] And I say, my busiest one, on Queens Boulevard. [45:13] Queens. [45:13] He said, I take a store, and I say, how would he be? [45:19] And I said, so what's the answer? [45:20] He said, you would drive it into one of the largest retail empires in the world. [45:27] Biden wouldn't be able to run the store for one evening. [45:30] One evening would be a dessert. [45:31] He said, I give people tests. [45:33] I put people in my store. [45:35] I say, how do you think they do? [45:37] And I said, he said, Biden wouldn't be able to run a store. [45:40] He said, we can never let that happen again to our country. [45:44] We can never let it happen again. [45:45] But what he's done to our country is unacceptable. [45:51] And a lot of bad things. [45:52] We had inflation, but we've got that down. [45:54] By the way, the oil prices are going to tumble as soon as I finish up with Iran. [45:58] I was in Iowa. [46:03] I was in Iowa. [46:04] We had it down to $1.85 a gallon in Iowa, but we had it down around the $2 point. [46:10] And then I said, well, Ludwig, we're going to have to take a trip to, and we got Scott Besson, [46:15] we got all of them. [46:15] I said, we just hit 50,000 on the Dow, and I said, that's a record, highest ever. [46:22] I said, sorry to do this to you, but we're going to have to journey down to the Middle East. [46:27] They said, why? [46:27] I said, because Iran is going to have a nuclear weapon if we don't stop them. [46:31] And I said, we're going to have to do it, and we have stopped them. [46:34] They're not going to ever have a nuclear weapon. [46:39] They're never going to have a nuclear weapon. [46:42] And we'll have that all the way soon. [46:44] It'll be all the way soon. [46:45] And you're going to see numbers like you've never seen, both on the upside and also in terms of cost. [46:50] You're going to see costs go down. [46:52] But, you know, the Democrats are the ones that cost all the costs. [46:56] And they were the ones, they were the ones that cost. [46:59] When I took over, they cost, I mean, the prices. [47:04] I told you before, the inflation was the highest ever. [47:07] The costs were high. [47:09] And think of it. [47:10] They constantly come out. [47:12] The costs, the costs. [47:13] They would.
