[6:55] and working with a great guy remember david mccormick he used to go to every every rally [7:06] hat he knew what was happening and he's here again as usual i can't get rid of this guy where is he [7:14] he got a little lucky though you know in butler place called butler pennsylvania i love butler [7:19] pennsylvania but it's amazing and we had a tremendous crowd like 55 60 000 people then [7:26] i called david i said david come on up he was working like hell to get like it was a tough [7:31] place and very few people could have done what he did but i said right at the beginning of the [7:37] speech i said david come on up come on up i want to this was before the thing happened and uh then [7:44] i look up i said you know what david just stay there i'll get you later you're so lucky david [7:50] you're so lucky you don't know i could have had a little differently shaped ear if it weren't for [7:57] you you know just you got very lucky that day people don't talk about that but i remember i [8:03] and i said just stay there because he was walking a little bit slowly i didn't want to take the time [8:09] oh boy that was a good day for you what a job he did he's really a great guy and his wife [8:14] dina is fantastic thank you stand up baby he's a lucky man working with senator david mccormick [8:27] we've secured commitments for nearly 100 billion dollars of investments in pennsylvania we were up [8:33] here a few months ago some of the greatest energy companies in the world made that we would [8:40] be doing it on a beautiful day a little warmer than it is outside today david but uh over a [8:47] hundred billion dollars and we've saved a great american company you know we saved this little [8:53] group of people and me saved a little company called u.s steel and it's hot as a pistol now [9:04] and we have the keys to the company it's always going to be here it's never moving they said what [9:08] happens if it moves to japan they said you can't move a steel mill to japan you can move a headquaters [9:15] the steel mill stays here that's all that matters and i will tell you the the company is spending [9:20] billions and billions of dollars and there was no second by comparison other companies were [9:25] interested but and they really are they call me all the time tell me they're really excited about [9:30] it and you know they're building a lot of additional plants it's turning out to be beyond [9:36] what anyone thought possible but we had to save u.s steel u.s steel was one of the greatest [9:41] companies which really for a long period of time years ago the greatest steel company in the world [9:45] the greatest company anywhere in the world u.s deal with you see it with the big factories that were [9:51] i mean two years ago now it's starting to fill up the tariffs have filled it up because people [9:56] are coming here other steel companies are coming to pennsylvania now because they don't want to [10:00] spend a hundred percent fifty percent twenty five percent of tariffs are all coming in it's amazing [10:08] you know they the word remember when i said tariff my favorite word is tariff true but then [10:16] i got a lot of heat from the fake news look at all of them back there i took a lot of heat i got [10:26] up early on i said my favorite is turning out you know tariffs are bringing us hundreds of billions [10:31] of dollars i just helped our farmers out because they're starting to do really well but in order to [10:39] try and negotiate some countries played a little cute and we just gave them right out of a tariff [10:46] money of course there's nothing right out of the billion hundreds of billions that we've taken in [10:52] we gave the farmers a little help 12 billion dollars and they are so happy and they all they [10:58] want is a level playing field and now it's happening and the tariffs are making them rich [11:04] it's going to be you're going to see you're going to see what happens over the next two years [11:08] it's like a miracle is taking place but we've taken in hundreds of billions of dollars really [11:14] trillions scott we have the great scott bassett scott stand up and if you add to that all of the [11:26] that are pouring their money to building right now building plants in pennsylvania and many other [11:30] states auto plants ai plants plants of every type which we would have never had if we didn't put the [11:38] tariffs on did you see where europe now is saying i think we got to start doing what trump is doing [11:43] we've got to stop putting on tariffs because we're getting our asses kicked and it's true [11:47] but scott if you really think about it it's trillions of dollars not billions of dollars right [11:53] so it's amazing it's uh the smart people understand it [11:56] other people are starting to learn but uh the smart people really understand it one year ago [12:01] under sleepy joe biden have you heard of him you know okay look the king of saudi arabia told me [12:17] this he said sir one year ago i was in saudi arabia somebody complained that i was making [12:25] a foreign trip i went to saudi arabia qatar and uae i brought back four trillion dollars they said [12:35] he should focus on home what the hell do you think i'm doing and 250 boeing jets i brought it back so [12:43] much everything then they say he should you know the stupid people they say he should be living [12:48] our country yeah let's sit around and twiddle our thumbs it's uh no it's sort of crazy right [12:55] but one year ago the king of saudi arabia said it he said sir one year ago you were a dead country [13:01] dead they were focusing on china they were looking for you know who's next on line frankly and [13:07] good man and the the emir of qatar said it the uae said it the big company the big smart country [13:16] said it we were a dead country one year ago we were dead as a doornail we were going down the [13:22] tubes and now with the hottest country anywhere in the world there's nobody close and it's because [13:43] of the election on november 5th because that's when it started you see what's happening with [13:47] recruitment in the military the enrollment is the highest we've ever had [13:52] and you know right before november 5th we couldn't get anybody in the military we couldn't get [13:57] police we couldn't get firemen we couldn't get anybody and after november 5th that's when it [14:02] started right now we have the highest enrollment we've ever had the greatest recruitment days [14:08] we've ever had in the military it's amazing so it's november 5th and it's also again it's a thing [14:16] called tariffs and i told you i was about to say that you know because i love the weave the weave [14:24] being being being you always have to get back to the right location but otherwise they'll criticize [14:31] you for straying from the speech if i if by the way if i read for it's on the teleprompter you'd [14:38] all be falling asleep right now but it's true one year ago and during periods of time i'd say [14:46] my favorite word is the word tariff i love it more than any other word in the dictionary [14:51] and the fake news said that's terrible what about god what about [14:57] family what about religion what about your sons your daughters what about how terrible that that's [15:04] just so i moved it back to fifth i have it the fifth and now i'm in no trouble with the fake news [15:10] you know they said what about what about religion they always find they always find you have to weave [15:18] a little bit with the punches you have to go you know the boxers you got to go with the punches [15:22] but it's been amazing what's happened it's been amazing it's a transformation [15:27] of our country i have the greatest [15:29] man in the world i see him sitting right there chris wright i was going to put a man doug bergum [15:40] he's great he's interior and i said doug i want you to go to energy you're really fantastic at [15:45] energy came from north dakota big uh big fracking place state and really a great job he was a great [15:53] governor i would say right really great and a great person is doing a fantastic job i said i want you [15:58] to head up energy sir i'd be good but i'll tell you there's one man out there in the whole world [16:05] who would be better me better than me who is it man named chris wright who the hell is chris wright [16:12] give me a break i never heard of the guy well you never heard he's the biggest there is he's [16:16] the smartest there is the greatest oil man in the world chris wright i said i got to see this guy and [16:22] after about two minutes i understood exactly what doug was saying so i said okay doug you'll go to [16:28] interior you work with because interestingly interior owns all the land that has the oil [16:34] and he has all the expertise [16:37] that drills the oil and i said you know we'll do a friendly merger here this is pretty good [16:41] and that's what we did and we're right now drilling more oil than we've ever done ever [16:47] before prices are way down we just had four states it was just reported that four states had one [16:53] dollar and 99 cents a gallon we're saw moving so i want to uh just i want to introduce chris wright [17:06] stand up chris who would think you look at him he's a nice looking guy and all that who would [17:17] think he's a nice looking guy i mean he's the most talented oil guy he can put his nose on the ground [17:22] and tell you whether or not there's oil other people have to spend billions of dollars on [17:26] machinery and equipment and it doesn't work so i want to thank you you're doing a great job [17:31] and is it true we are right now energy overall not only the oil and gas we are right now involved in [17:39] more energy and have more energy in the works by far than we've ever had before is that right yeah [17:46] not even close [17:52] no higher priority than making america affordable again that's what we're going to do and again [17:58] they cause the high prices and we're bringing them down it's a simple message [18:03] if i had one message tonight you know this is being covered like all over the world this is [18:07] crazy because i haven't made a speech in a little while you know when you win when you win you say [18:12] i can now rest so uh susie trump do you know susie trump sometimes referred to as susie [18:18] wilde susie trump she's the great chief of staff at sea they don't use the word chief [18:24] of staff anymore because of uh the indians got extremely upset but now the indians actually [18:30] want their name used which is true they never didn't want it used but the chief of staff [18:36] and she's fantastic she said uh we have to start campaigning sir i said i won what do i have to [18:44] already they said we have to win the midterms and you're the guy that's going to take us over [18:49] the midterm where's susie susie come on susie look at susie shoes is the greatest and who's the best [19:02] who do we see there we even brought our superstar today caroline stand up isn't she great is [19:18] caroline great you know when she goes on television fox like i mean they dominate they dominate when [19:29] she gets up there with that beautiful face and those lips that don't stop up up like [19:33] like a little machine gun she's got no fear you know why she has no fear because we have [19:38] the right policy we don't have men in women's sports we don't have to sell men in women's [19:44] sports we don't have to sell transgender to everybody we don't have to sell open borders [19:53] where the whole world is allowed to come into our country from prisons and everywhere so she's got [20:00] a little bit easier job i wouldn't want to be the other side's press secretary right thanks carolyn [20:06] great job we appreciate it but that's our message they gave you high prices they gave you the highest [20:14] inflation in history and we're giving you we're bringing those prices down rapidly lower prices [20:21] lower prices bigger paychecks we're getting uh inflation we're crushing it and you're getting [20:29] much higher wages i mean the only thing that you it's really going up big it's called the stock [20:34] market and your 401ks it's going on but i i say it you know and i said it the other day and a lot [20:44] of people misinterpreted they said oh he doesn't realize prices are high prices are coming down [20:48] very substantially but they have a new word you know they always have a hoax the new word is [20:55] affordability so they look at the camera and they say this election is all about affordability [21:05] now they never talk about it they never talk thank you very much they say i'm not allowed to [21:10] run i don't know what the hell that's all about but that's okay he said four more years you see [21:16] the new hat we have four more years 20 28 we've also said we have three years and two months to [21:39] go and you know what that is in trump time [21:43] we have a long time we have a long time but under biden real wages plummeted by three thousand [21:55] dollars a year under trump the typical factory worker has already seen their wages increase by [22:02] more than thirteen hundred dollars and that's in just a few months and for construction workers it's [22:09] one thousand eight hundred dollars up versus three thousand five hundred dollars down and i think [22:15] their number is wrong it's much lower than that for miners do we love miners i love miners [22:21] i don't know how they do it going ten thousand feet under the ground and they wouldn't trade jobs [22:27] with me if i gave them a beautiful magnificent penthouse in the middle of manhattan where i used [22:34] to live if i gave them the most beautiful penthouse they wouldn't take it they'd rather [22:39] go ten thousand feet underground and dig that's what they want for miners their wages went up [22:47] to three hundred dollars and we're bringing back cold but my administration cannot talk about [22:54] anything else except when they say the word call they have to proceed the word by two words clean [23:02] beautiful so we only call cold clean beautiful coal is that right fellas because coal needs a [23:09] little public relations help it's a very powerful it's a very powerful fuel it's used by china you [23:17] know china makes all our [23:19] you know china makes all our [23:19] windmills but they don't have any wind farms it's a little interesting isn't it wind is the worst [23:23] it's a big it's a big that's a scam they ruin your valleys they've ruined your peaks they and the the [23:31] most expensive energy the only ones that get rich are the developers who make a fortune you have to [23:38] change your windows and most of them are made in china but china has very few wind farms you know [23:43] why because they're smart you know what they do have a lot of coal they love coal so that's okay [23:49] but we have cleaned beautiful coal and we brought it back into vogue we have nuclear we have oil and [23:56] gas we have sort of everything we don't want mint we don't approve windmills we don't approve it i'm [24:02] sorry we don't like things that kill all our birds and that every time you put one up only the guy [24:09] that owns it makes a lot of money those guys well i had a joke and they are ugly you're right sir [24:15] but democrats talking about affordability is like bonnie and clyde preaching about public [24:21] safety and they are really the truly the enemy of the working class when they do it because we want [24:29] to have we're going to have a great energy policy you know our oil prices are coming down very [24:33] substantial energy prices and honestly with that everything comes down because there's nothing [24:40] nearly in the category of oil you wouldn't even know what second is there are seconds and thirds [24:45] but it's so far down the list we don't even talk about them you get energy prices down which we're [24:50] doing with and again the greatest [24:53] amount of drilling the greatest amount of fuel being produced right now in our country than ever [24:58] before by far it's not even a contest and when that happens those prices come down that's why [25:04] you're seeing oil per barrel coming down nicely very nicely we don't want to go so rapidly because [25:10] we want the people that produce it to keep producing it but they're doing good but it's [25:15] amazing but when energy comes down your other prices come down to all of your prices and that's [25:20] exactly we inherited the highest prices ever [25:24] and we're bringing them down we inherited the worst inflation in the history of our country [25:29] think of that and we're bringing them down rapidly their entire agenda is about robbing working people [25:34] to fund their far-left cronies and give lavish benefits to foreign migrants and illegal aliens [25:40] you can't do it look we all have a heart we don't like what's happening but you know when they allow [25:45] them to come in we have a border that by the way they don't talk about the border why don't you [25:50] talk about the border anymore the border the border the border the border the border the border the [25:55] border is the border is for months it's closed actually they're people because they're radical [26:04] their people their people radical left they rate the border and everything you [26:11] know how many people came into the border over the last seven months you know what it is zero [26:18] zero except for the ones that came in legally right legally when biden and congressional [26:31] democrats had power they blew up our economy sent prices just 2017 we're going on the same topic again [26:34] Prices soaring like the poor guy. He didn't know what the hell was happening. OK, I'm sorry. [26:40] It wasn't him. It was the lunatics that circled that circled. [26:46] Yeah, it was the auto pan. You're right. I can't believe I didn't say that. [26:51] I can't. I hate when you beat me to the punch line. I would not have. [26:56] Well, I'll tell you, you know, I'll give the fake news a little breaking news. [27:03] So I believe and I may be correct. We're checking this. You know, we have a bad head of the Fed. [27:07] We're going to be making a change. Fortunately, this guy's out. [27:12] But we have four members appointed by Sleepy Joe Biden. Which is better, Sleepy Joe or Crooked Joe? [27:24] Historically, when I've done polls, you know, from people, you know, I do my own polls. [27:29] I go to a big arena. We have 20,000 people. I say, would you like Sleepy Joe or Crooked Joe? [27:35] And I learned I saved millions of dollars. I don't have to do any polling. [27:38] OK, typically Crooked Joe wins. I'm surprised because to me, [27:44] he's a. [27:45] Sleepy son of a bitch, you know, who destroyed our country, if we didn't come along and it's not me, it's all of us. [27:53] If we didn't come along, this country was destroyed. I'll tell you, it would have been destroyed. [27:57] But now Democrats in Congress want to take us straight back to the Bidenomics. [28:03] You know, they don't change. And I don't really talk about it because, for instance, [28:08] I watched a congressman the other day on a television show. [28:12] They were interviewing a Democrat. He was fighting. [28:16] Like hell for men to play in women's sports. [28:19] OK, and I was going to put something out. I was going to make a he's a well-known congressman. [28:27] And I said, you know, let's save it about two weeks before the election. Right, David? [28:31] We don't want to do it now. What the hell good does it do now? [28:35] Let's save it for about two weeks because we don't want them to change. Just let them keep going. [28:40] I think transgender for all is a great, great thing for the Democrats to be talking about transgender for every member in your family. [28:50] If they're not feeling well that night, let's just change their sex. [28:55] Now, let's not talk about it. Let them go and let them fight, fight, fight to get these things. [29:02] I think open borders are great. You know, where prisons are emptied into our country, right? [29:06] Where we have people from all over the world being dumped into our country. [29:10] The people that aren't wanted in their countries, by the way, I think that's a great like Somalia. [29:15] Welcome. Do we have any individuals from Somalia in the group? Please raise your hand. [29:24] It's for Minnesota. You know, that's called the great big Minnesota scam with one of the dumbest governors ever in history. [29:31] I love this Elon Omar, whatever the hell her name is, with a little little turban. [29:45] I love her. She comes in. There's nothing but bitch. She's always come play. [29:52] She comes from a country where I mean, it's considered about the worst country in the world, right? [29:58] They have no military. They have no nothing. They have no parliament. [30:02] They don't know what the hell the word parliament means. [30:04] They have nothing. They have no police. They police themselves. [30:08] They kill each other all the time. I love it. [30:10] She comes to our country and she's always complaining about the Constitution allows me to do this. [30:18] The concept we ought to get her to hell out. She married her brother in order to get in. [30:23] Right. She married her brother. Can you imagine if Donald Trump married his sister? [30:32] Beautiful. She's a beautiful person. If I married my sister to get my citizenship. [30:39] Do you think I'd last for about two hours or would it be something less than that? [30:43] She married her brother to get in. Therefore, she's here illegally. [30:48] She should get the hell out. Throw it out. She does nothing but complain. [30:52] So now and we have our savior in this room. [31:11] His name is Secretary of the Treasury Scott Besant. [31:18] Because that very handsome man, that man, by the way, if you're picking. [31:28] Secretary of the Treasury, is he like the perfect guy for a movie he's made for the most stand up? [31:33] Scott, look at him. No, he's central casting. [31:38] He's central cast. But you don't under that beautiful exterior is a killer. [31:44] And here's what happened. He is in charge of the investigation of Somalia and the billions of dollars they have robbed from Minnesota. [31:55] Right. I hope you do your job. I hope you're not one of these Republicans where something comes up. [32:03] I don't do what they should do because they're nicer people. [32:06] You know, they're much nicer people than the Democrats. [32:08] But Scott's actually not a nice person at all. [32:12] So, Scott, you're in charge of that investigation. [32:14] OK, I'm not interfering at all. [32:17] I'm just saying, please do a good job. [32:20] Honest and fair, right? [32:22] Honest. If he's honest and fair, you know what he's going to. [32:32] It's great. I'd love to have that job. [32:34] They may switch jobs with you. [32:35] I'd love to have that job there to get them the hell out of here. [32:39] They hate our country. [32:40] And she hates. [32:41] Our country and her friends hate our country and AOC hates our country. [32:45] They all do. [32:46] And we have a new candidate in the great state of Texas where I won Texas by more votes than anybody. [32:53] And you have to understand, I'm being judged by these bad people back there. [32:58] The fake news. [33:00] So so anything I say that's slightly off, I get like headlines. [33:08] Donald Trump exaggerated. [33:10] Donald Trump lied. [33:12] They give me Pinocchio's Washington Post and Pinocchio. [33:15] Every day they give me a Pinocchio. [33:18] But think of this. [33:20] If I make even the slightest, the slightest mistake, what they do is they go after me. [33:26] Everything I say is correct. [33:27] We have now a new candidate. [33:30] I won Texas by the largest vote in the history of Texas three times. [33:35] OK, I love just like I love Pennsylvania, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, just like I love. [33:47] Honestly, every one of our states. [33:48] I love all of our states. [33:49] And we've done so well. [33:51] I love all of our states. [33:52] What? [33:54] By the way, by the way, by the way, is this a different country now that we had a year and a half ago? [34:02] What a difference. [34:05] Crime, you know, crime is way down. [34:07] Despite the fact that we have many, many, you know, bad people entered our country, many of them are being taken out. [34:14] Ultimately, they're all being taken out. [34:15] Washington, D.C., we had a tragic incident, as you know, with the two incredible people. [34:23] What a terrible thing. [34:25] That was just two weeks ago. [34:26] Right. [34:28] Just a terrible National Guard. [34:30] Terrible thing. [34:31] Sarah and Andrew. [34:33] Sarah passed away. [34:35] She's looking at us from heaven, from above. [34:40] And she was killed almost instantly. [34:42] They kept her alive. [34:43] So her parents came from West Virginia, another great state. [34:46] Parents are incredible. [34:48] They couldn't believe it. [34:48] She was 20 years old. [34:51] Perfect. [34:51] She was just getting a little promotion. [34:54] They were so proud of her. [34:55] She was on her way up. [34:56] And she was shot in the head, the brain, shot in the brain, shot in the head. [35:03] They were able to keep her alive long enough for her parents to come in from West Virginia and say goodbye to her. [35:09] And Andrew is the second one who's also from West Virginia National Guard. [35:16] Incredible people. [35:18] And so they were both from West Virginia. [35:21] And his mother's name, Monica. [35:24] And Monica's the most positive person I've ever seen. [35:28] The night that he was so badly hit and the doctors gave him almost no chance, I called their hospital room and spoke to her. [35:38] And she said, sir, he'll be fine. [35:39] Oh, no, I'm telling you, he's going to. [35:41] I'm praying. [35:42] The whole country is praying. [35:43] Sir, I'm telling you, don't worry about it. [35:46] He's going to be fine. [35:47] This is the mother talking to me. [35:50] And the father's, like, devastated. [35:52] He's an incredible guy, too, both. [35:55] And I went. [35:57] And invited them to the Oval Office and they came in. [36:00] She said, sir, he's fine. [36:03] It was amazing, actually. [36:06] And today, Monica, she said, we're all praying and I'm praying. [36:13] And then she called to say, sir, he moved his finger today. [36:16] This is like three days later. [36:17] He moved his finger. [36:19] And today I got a call that he got up from bed. [36:23] Do you believe that? [36:24] He got up. [36:26] He got up. [36:32] Now, he didn't speak. [36:33] He's not ready for that yet. [36:35] I mean. [36:36] You got hit in the head, but he got up and boy, they're so happy. [36:41] It's amazing. [36:41] And the care that they've given him to hospital and the generals that have been there, the [36:46] military that's been there. [36:47] It's amazing. [36:49] General Seward and others that she said that the level of love that your military has given [36:56] to my boy. [36:56] And by the way, Sarah's parents said the same thing, the love and the affection and the [37:02] care that they're given. [37:03] They can't even believe what's happened. [37:05] But. [37:06] Andrew stood up today and people even can't believe it. [37:10] So the mother was amazing. [37:12] And let's hope it continues. [37:14] Look, it's it doesn't get much worse than what he did. [37:17] Let's hope it continues. [37:20] But that's an act of terrorism. [37:22] This is a guy came from Washington, state of Washington, came across the country and [37:27] he wanted to kill people with the uniform, a whack job. [37:32] Isn't it crazy? [37:33] Think of it. [37:34] He was also very badly injured. [37:37] And they're fighting. [37:38] To save his life so that we can give him the death penalty. [37:43] How crazy is that? [37:44] Right? [37:45] They're fighting to save his life so that we can give him the death penalty. [37:50] That's the way it really should work, right? [37:52] The doctors have to do their job and then the lawyers have to do their job. [37:57] But it's an amazing country. [38:00] Actually, Andrew's father said that he said they're fighting for him. [38:06] I hope they save him, sir. [38:09] Because I hope he has to understand what he did, how bad it is. [38:14] And he's going to I think he will be saved. [38:18] Actually, it looks like they will save him. [38:20] He wasn't as badly hurt as Sarah or Andrew. [38:24] But isn't that an amazing thing? [38:26] They're working so hard to save his life and we're going to put him up for the death penalty. [38:31] Amazing, huh? [38:33] Only in America. [38:34] It's only in America, you know, in one way, there's something beautiful about it in another way. [38:40] It's it's a little crazy, right? [38:44] In my first term, we built the greatest economy in the history of the world. [38:47] You know that we had the greatest economy in history, even with the COVID. [38:51] COVID came and it really hurt the world. [38:54] It was a gift from China. [38:57] But China got hurt very badly, too. [38:59] We're getting along with China. [39:00] They're buying a lot of our soybeans. [39:01] Keep buying those soybeans there. [39:03] You know, you heard all about magnets and rare earth. [39:06] They were great. [39:06] I met with President Xi. [39:08] Scott was with me and we had a whole group. [39:11] Marco was there. [39:11] Chris was that we're all there. [39:14] And we made incredible deals with China. [39:17] We're getting along. [39:18] It's getting along is a good thing. [39:19] You know, getting along is a good thing, not a bad thing. [39:22] It's a smart thing. [39:23] And they're buying literally trillions of dollars worth of our products and all of that. [39:29] And we had a very good meeting. [39:30] Remember, the whole world was going to shut down over rare earth. [39:33] That was two months ago. [39:35] And that worked out very well. [39:37] It all works out well. [39:38] If you have a smart president, it works out well. [39:40] If you have a dummy. [39:41] But we had a great economy. [39:46] We had the greatest economy in our country's history. [39:50] But we had what's called the greatest economy. [39:53] This is the first term probably ever of any country. [39:57] Now, in addition to that, we rebuilt our military. [40:01] We got the biggest tax cuts ever. [40:03] We got the biggest regulation cuts ever. [40:05] We had the best job numbers. [40:06] We had a great first term. [40:08] Or frankly, to be honest with you, I wouldn't be standing here because if I had a bad first term, you know, you. [40:14] You might say, I like him. [40:15] He's really good. [40:16] But we had a lousy first term. [40:19] You're not going to vote. [40:20] You voted for me because we had a great despite all of the Russia, Russia, Russia bullshit. [40:26] Despite all of the impeachments, you know, think of it. [40:30] The impeachments, all of the crap we had to go through with these crooked Democrats. [40:35] They're crooked as you could be. [40:37] They're bad people. [40:38] They're sick people. [40:40] But despite all of that, we had an amazing first term. [40:42] Our second term is blowing it away. [40:45] It's blowing it away. [40:48] So we're doing it again, but bigger, better and stronger than ever before. [40:54] There's more work to do. [40:55] But today, 22 states were setting 22 total. [41:01] Is that right, Chris? [41:01] That just came out that statistic. [41:04] We're down lower than we've been in seven years. [41:07] Gasoline prices and oil prices, not just the three states that I talk about with one ninety nine a gallon. [41:13] How would you like to have one ninety nine? [41:14] You know, that's that's the equivalent. [41:20] Of a very major tax cut. [41:22] You know, when you get the energy prices down, it's really the equivalent, maybe even in many cases better than a big tax cut, which we gave you. [41:30] We gave you the biggest tax cut ever in the first term. [41:32] We then gave you with the great big, beautiful deal, which is phenomenal. [41:38] We gave you something that's even better than we did. [41:41] We gave you an extension of the biggest tax cuts and the biggest tax cuts ever, even bigger than the first term. [41:49] And that's one of the reasons that your 401ks are through the roof. [41:53] It's one of the reasons that the stock market is at the highest point. [41:58] So rent prices are down. [42:00] Dairy prices are coming down very strongly. [42:03] The cost of Thanksgiving turkeys was down by thirty three percent compared to the Biden era, Biden era. [42:11] You know what you did during the Biden era for Thanksgiving is that, oh, my God, this is terrible. [42:17] Was a rotten Thanksgiving and Wal-Mart. [42:20] I thank them. You know, they. [42:21] They came out with a big like sort of a numbers thing, a chart, and they had a twenty five percent less. [42:28] So that's pretty good. A Thanksgiving meal with all of the trimmings is twenty five percent less under Trump than it was a year ago under Biden. [42:38] That's that's a good start. We're bringing it down and we're coming down more. [42:42] We're coming down a lot more. Takes a little time to come down. [42:45] They they were ruined. They're going to destroy our country because of a Christmas ham. [42:50] What? Don't forget eggs. [42:53] I'm getting to eggs. [42:56] But you're right. [42:57] Remember when eggs were I had my first news conference, two days went by and I had a news conference. [43:03] Unlike Biden, two years ago, he still didn't have. [43:06] Remember, he'd walk off the stage. [43:08] He's finished with the. [43:09] Sir, you're finished with your speech. [43:11] Now what? You're finished. [43:12] What? And then he'd walk into a wall. [43:16] What he did, what day? [43:21] And it wasn't him. [43:23] It was some really smart, radical left lunatics. [43:27] What they did to our country. [43:28] We we can never forget. [43:29] We can never forget. [43:30] we can never forget but you remember the first eggs we remember the first three days i just got [43:36] there sure what these people two of them are there right there look at all those cameras you got you [43:43] got a lot of television going two of them were there and i'm talking about yes i look forward to [43:49] getting involved and doing great things what about eggs eggs in down as they go eggs they said the [43:59] price of eggs is quadrupled they said oh i didn't know that tell me about it it's gone up like four [44:07] or five times remember eggs right at the beginning he's right when he says eggs it went up like four [44:12] times it was like crazy and they said sir don't buy they came into the oval office sir you know [44:18] we have an easter egg hunt it's like a thing for 150 years at the white house beautiful [44:22] he says sir we're gonna buy plastic eggs this year plastic eggs we don't have you know enough [44:28] eggs to go around for [44:29] i said you're gonna buy regular eggs and by the time by the time easter comes we're gonna have [44:35] so many eggs you're not gonna know what to you're not buying plastic and we didn't and brooke [44:42] rollins our secretary of agriculture did an incredible job and eggs dropped like a rock and [44:49] we ended up buying a lot of eggs for a lot of but the price of eggs is down now 80 percent since [44:56] march think of that and we have two price charts do you remember the last time i pointed to a chart [45:06] my all-time i don't care what these shots say my all-time favorite chart was the chart i had [45:12] in butler i said let's look at the chart i don't care how good that chart looks it's [45:21] by comparison to the one in but it's nothing i like i like the butler chart remember that was [45:32] on how great employment was and all this but i like it for other reasons [45:38] look at that chart it's good but now as i talk about the butler shot i don't even want to look [45:42] at it does it mean anything but look biden price increases and trump price increases [45:48] look at biden up 37 24 22 21 30.7 30.7 again 10.4 49 trump the price is down 5.1 4.2 [46:05] 0.5 down four percent two ports two point nine [46:10] look at that our prices are coming down their prices it's a hoax they're just remember they [46:18] said the inflation reduction act remember that billions and billions hundreds of billions of [46:24] dollars the inflation and after they got it approved because we had a few republicans [46:29] that went along with that whole hoax and remember we're going to pass the inflation and i said [46:36] there's nothing to do with inflation reduction there there's nothing to do with that has nothing [46:42] it had nothing to do with inflation either way other than raising inflation perhaps because it [46:48] was such a stupid and then they admitted they fought it like oh no this is inflation after [46:53] they got the thing passed then they said we agree it has nothing to do with inflation [46:59] screw you we don't care that's what it is we're dealing with bad people and the word [47:06] affordability is the exact same thing and i can't say affordability hoax because i agree the prices [47:12] too high so i can't call it a hoax because they'll misconstrue that but they use the word [47:16] affordability and that's their only word they say affordability and everyone says oh that must mean [47:25] trump has high prices no our prices are coming down tremendously from the highest prices in the [47:32] history of our country and look at that chart let's see the next one you have another one i [47:36] think mortgage rates even with a lousy fed chair we have a lousy fed chair oh [47:42] and by the way it looks uh you're gonna have to check this please i just heard it could be that [47:49] all four commissioners in the fed signed by biden including uh too late you know you know who too [47:57] late is too late pal jerome too late he's too late with his interest rates for a reason he's [48:01] a bad guy he's not a smart guy but he's a bad guy too late is he going to lower rates a little bit [48:06] finally did you see where jamie dimon respected guy said you got to get the rates down you schmuck [48:12] know but but i hear that the auto pen may have signed those commissions if they signed those [48:22] commissions now maybe i'm wrong but we're going to check have you checked that are you hearing it [48:28] who signed it did he signed it or did the auto pen sign it i'm hearing the auto you know you [48:38] can't use the auto pen unless it's very strongly authorized unless you show you know what the hell [48:43] you're doing which is impossible of empty shell so uh i don't know i think it's something we have to [48:51] they put people there that are not authorized to be there i know i signed chris wright i signed [48:57] everything but i signed chris wright if i gave you an auto pen they could throw you the hell out of [49:02] here chris the difference is they would do it you know we try and be too nice no would you check [49:07] that scott okay because i'm hearing that uh the auto pen could have signed maybe all four but [49:13] maybe a couple of them we'll take two so look at that biden i love that laugh who's the woman with [49:22] that great hearty laugh that's a woman that likes trump [49:28] that's how beautiful anybody can laugh with that happiness she likes trump he likes trump too with [49:36] the hat that's right thank you thank you man thank you so biden new yearly mortgage cost increases [49:45] and trump new year look we went down with our rates they went up with their rates much that's a [49:53] lot so with us you saved two thousand nine hundred almost three thousand dollars and with them you [50:01] go up it costs you fifteen [50:03] you don't hear that because the fake news doesn't tell you that and these are charts [50:07] these are government charts these are not made up by donald j trump these are government charts [50:13] uh do you have a third chart because i like these charts very much not as much as butler but i like [50:17] them you have any other charts because so far they're playing quite well oh look at that real [50:25] wages look look at that losses and trump real wages gains for the typical worker wow i mean [50:35] that's incredible right so look at it and this is a very good example of whether it was a fair type of [50:38] look at the amount of loss, 18.5, 106. What the hell is that all about? Is that even possible? [50:50] Biden food. Oh, oh, I see. You move that chart very quickly. I said, what's going on with that [50:58] chart? They did. That was Houdini did that because I was saying, boy, I really like the [51:05] numbers having to do with real wages. But, you know, they played very well. But this plays very [51:09] well, too. So, yeah, Biden food price increases. Trump, look at that. Look at that. So ours are [51:14] decreases, all decreases, and they're moving down good. But look at AIDS, one hundred and six [51:20] percent. And we got him down 15 percent. Look at those numbers. But you don't hear that from [51:26] the fake news. You don't hear that. What do you think of that, David? I think we're going to have [51:31] to do something. You know, we should impeach him, but he's gone. I guess we can't. By the way, [51:39] if it were up to them, numbers like that, they would have impeached. Those numbers are terrible. [51:43] And those are government numbers. So thank you very much, everybody. It's good. We have a [51:47] couple more. [51:47] We're going to show you two that are just we're also working to bring down the cost of health [51:53] care. Obamacare is a scam under Obamacare. Trillions of dollars were given directly to [51:59] health insurance companies. Their stocks are up one thousand seven hundred percent in a very short [52:06] period of time. Would you say that's good? Obamacare's primary purpose was to pay off [52:11] insurance companies. You know, the insurance companies back the Democrats very heavily. [52:16] I want to give billions of dollars. [52:18] Directly to the people. I want to take all of the billions and billions and actually trillions. [52:22] But over a period of time. And I want to give all of that money we give to the big, fat, rich [52:30] insurance companies. I don't want to give them nothing. I want to give nothing to the insurance [52:35] companies. I don't want to give all because they're sucking our country dry with this scam [52:40] by the Democrats. That was Obama. And I've always said it, Obamacare. But now you see the numbers [52:46] because your premiums are going up on Obamacare and everything. [52:49] It's forcing everything on. But we want the money go to directly to the people. We want you to go out [52:55] and buy your own health insurance and you'll get much better health insurance at a much lower. [53:00] Everybody knows this is the best way to go. But the Democrats, they're bought and owned by the [53:06] insurance companies. So let's see how many of them have the guts to vote for this. You know, [53:10] we're putting in bills where all of that money, hundreds of billions of dollars goes to the people [53:17] to go out and buy your own. [53:19] Healthcare and everybody's different. Some are young people. Some are older people. It's a much [53:26] different, uh, really set of criteria in four years under Biden. Democrats secured less than [53:33] $1 trillion in new investments in our country. Think of that, though. And we've done in 10 [53:39] months, we've set the all time country record by many times. I'm going to get the exact numbers [53:44] many times. 18. What are we? Are we over 18, right around 18 trillion? We could have done that. We [53:49] could have done that. We could have done that. We could have done that. We could have done that. We [53:49] could have done that. We could have done that. We could have done that. We could have done that. [53:49] hit $20 trillion in the first year with 10 months, $18 trillion versus less than $1 trillion. [53:57] And I'll tell you what, it was going to go down. It wasn't going to be like even anything. It [54:02] would have been negative because companies were pouring out of our country. The stock market is [54:08] set 51. This is in less than 10 months. The stock market is set 51 all-time record highs. [54:18] There's never been anything like that. [54:25] Think of that. It's at 51 all-time record highs in less than 10 months. That was as of about three [54:34] weeks ago. Before I entered office, 100% of all new net migrant. These are government numbers, [54:41] by the way. These are not Trump numbers. These are government numbers because they say, well, [54:46] did Trump come up with these numbers? No, I didn't come up. I'm just migrant workers and [54:51] illegal aliens. [54:52] 100%. But since I took office, 100% of all net job creation has gone to American citizens. [55:04] How about that? Now, how about that? Even I will give myself a hand. Now, think of it. 100% went [55:16] to American citizens before 100% went to people that came into the country illegally. Again, [55:20] many of them from prisons, many of them gang members, drug members, trend de Aragua, [55:27] more Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country. That's why [55:34] when they ask about the economy, you know, you have fake polls. How's Trump doing? You hear these [55:38] numbers. How's Trump doing on the economy? I was interviewed by a very hostile group today. I said, [55:45] why am I doing these people? They're hostile. But they were relatively fair because they can't [55:49] they can't beat you. I don't mind. I can be interviewed by anybody. Were you concerned if [55:54] you're doing badly? You don't want to be interviewed by bad people. [55:58] But they can't do anything to you because the numbers speak. It was Politico. I did an interview [56:02] today. It was a good interview because they have no ammunition. The one person said to me, [56:08] it's unbelievable. Our economy is unbelievable. There's never been anything. But the Democrats [56:14] go out. Prices are too high. Yeah, they're too high because they caused them to be too high. [56:20] But now they're coming down. One of the most important ways we're defeating inflation is by [56:26] unleashing American energy, including oil. [56:29] Gas and clean, beautiful call right here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Did you know I went [56:41] to school in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania? Right. The great Wharton School of Finance. I [56:48] love the world. Came a little liberal, but these are minor details. But the Wharton School, one of [56:54] the greatest schools in the world. I went here and I loved it. I love the school and I loved [56:59] I love Philadelphia. Philadelphia's got a little rougher, got a little rougher, but we're going to [57:04] take it. And you have a great football coach and you have a great running back. Saquon. You know, [57:16] I got to know Saquon a little bit and my hand will never be the same. I patted him on the back. I said, [57:22] Saquon, let's go. You're my partner today. Let's go win being off because it was like I hit a piece [57:27] of steel. So what the hell is with you, Saquon? That's pretty. He's good. But he's a better [57:34] football player than he is a golfer. Trust me. He's so strong. He's those muscles. [57:41] He's just but his football is great. His golf will be very good. Very good. But we won. We won our [57:49] match. And you have you do have a great coach. I was with your coach. I got a little streak going [57:54] here, but it'll that'll change. But he's a great coach. Well, you won the whole deal, right? I got [58:00] to know him last year when he came to the White House. And I said, this guy's a real he's a real [58:04] leader. The players loved him. And you had some players that are just, you know, really just [58:08] fantastic guys. But you have a good football team. It's really good to watch. And I said, [58:12] you know, I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. [58:12] But for four long years, Biden and the Democrats tried to endlessly kill Pennsylvania energy [58:21] jobs. They worked so hard to kill the jobs. They wanted wind, wind all over the place. You know, [58:27] let's go buy those windmills for millions of dollars each from China. Every time it goes [58:32] around, you lose fifteen dollars. Did you know that that's on average? You're supposed to make [58:37] money with energy. You're not supposed to lose money with energy. And everybody that's doing [58:43] wind is in in virtual bankruptcy right now. If you look at UK, I told the primary, he's a nice man, [58:50] Stormer, prime minister. I said, you know, you have a great energy source in the North Sea. [58:57] Use it or you're not going to be in office very long. Their energy prices, they're putting wind [59:02] all over Scotland, all over beautiful, the most beautiful fields in the world, Scotland, [59:07] all over beautiful. We have some Scottish people here. Where the hell did you come from? [59:13] We have Scottish people, but they're putting wind all over Scotland. The people in that thrilled [59:21] with it. And it's costing them a fortune. They have the most expensive energy. And I said, you [59:25] I'm going to do you a favor. You're going to you could be there for a long time. Open up the North [59:30] Sea oil, one of the greatest. And, you know, they like to say, well, it's very well depleted. No, [59:36] it's good for another 500 years. And they haven't even found most of it yet. [59:41] And if you look at Norway, they have a section of the, [59:43] North Sea, which in theory isn't as vibrant. And it's a very rich country. You know, they [59:49] have a tremendous, tremendous worth because of the North Sea. But UK has to if they don't [59:55] go back to oil, I think a lot of bad things are happening to Europe. You know that their [1:00:00] immigration policies are so bad, is so bad, destroying our beautiful Europe. I love Europe. [1:00:07] They're destroying Europe and they better do something. I'll give them just some free [1:00:10] advice. I'm more I'm focused here, but I give them free advice. They better be careful [1:00:14] because immigration and energy are going to destroy Europe. On day one, I ended the war [1:00:21] on Pennsylvania energy. I terminated it. I just terminated something that was insane. [1:00:27] And we all love Elon. Elon was up here campaigning, right? But I said, Elon, I think electric [1:00:34] cars are great, but not everybody wants an electric car. [1:00:39] And I ended the insane. [1:00:40] Electric vehicle mandate where you were supposed everybody was supposed to have everybody was [1:00:49] supposed to have an electric car by the year like 2030 or some ridiculous year like that. [1:00:55] It's not going to be that way. I don't think it'll be something like hybrid, something [1:00:59] like gasoline powered. I mean, the nice thing about gasoline is we have 2000 years worth [1:01:05] of gas. We have more gasoline. We have more oil and gas than any country anywhere in the [1:01:10] world. Is that right? And they want us to go to batteries. [1:01:13] Let's go to batteries. We don't have battery content. So let's go to batteries. According [1:01:19] to these morons that were in our country. Let's not use oil and gas, which we have more [1:01:24] than any country in the world. Let's go to batteries. Well, we have to go to the Congo [1:01:29] and get it from China. But I actually stopped the war with Congo and Rwanda. And they said [1:01:35] to me, please, please, we would love you to come and take our minerals, which will do. [1:01:43] But I stopped the Green News scam. It's a total scam. And you know what? I'm going to [1:01:45] do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. [1:01:46] I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. [1:01:47] I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. [1:01:48] And I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. [1:01:49] But you know, we had they used to call it global warming. Then they called it 15 other [1:01:53] things and none of them worked. So they came up with climate change. Remember climate change? [1:01:58] Because you can't go wrong with climate change. If it goes up, remember global warming? And [1:02:03] then the temperature started going down like a rock. Remember, remember we had global warming [1:02:10] and they sent that big beautiful ship with all scientists on it and it went into deepest [1:02:18] Alaska. [1:02:18] went up through the ice and the global warming it was getting so warm except unfortunately they [1:02:25] had a bad few weeks it got so cold that the ice just crushed the ship we had to take those poor [1:02:31] bastards out by helicopter which like the scientists they said one guy was petrified of [1:02:39] helicopter he said i have a choice to go down in the ice with the ship or go in a helicopter he [1:02:44] chose the helicopter but uh we have a very simple policy right chris drill baby drill [1:02:53] and natural gas production is booming coal mining is up by 2.4 million tons a month [1:03:04] and we're also reviving pennsylvania manufacturing and with our historic tariff steel production is [1:03:11] roaring back we're building steel mills all over the country and u.s steel is coming back at a level [1:03:17] never thought possible [1:03:19] you [1:03:19] and i was up and i was up here and uh with the workers and with selena do you know selena does [1:03:33] everybody know and with some other people we were up with some great people and uh we spent the [1:03:39] whole day and they were determining whether or not they want to make which one of the deals i [1:03:44] went to the workers i said which one do you like we picked the right one i as i said before billions [1:03:49] billions of dollars they're spending and uh the steel workers are doing phenomenally better i [1:03:54] think you're going to do better than you've done [1:03:55] you've ever done before you were losing all of your sales we didn't have tariffs you would have no [1:03:59] steel we wouldn't have one steel mill anywhere in the united states and that would be really bad for [1:04:05] scott national security we need the one thing you need you need still you know you can give up [1:04:10] certain products uh you can give up pencils that's under the china policy you know every [1:04:18] child can get 37 pencils they only need one or two you know they don't need that many [1:04:23] but uh you always need you always need steel you don't need 37 [1:04:28] $37 for your daughter. Two or three is nice, but you don't need $37. So we're doing things right. [1:04:35] We're running this country, right? We're also putting thousands of dollars in the pockets of [1:04:40] hardworking Pennsylvanians with the largest tax cuts in American history. That's no tax on tips, [1:04:46] no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security for our great seniors, our seniors, no tax. [1:04:53] All of that kicks in on January 1st. You know, it hasn't kicked in yet. [1:05:02] I mean, we're doing great and it hasn't kicked in yet. And it's amazing. And it's one of the [1:05:07] reasons they said, sir, would you mind going on the trail? And I actually like it. You know, [1:05:13] I have fun. I have fun. I haven't read practically anything off the stupid teleprompter. [1:05:18] And then my speechwriters get they're getting awards for some of the finest speeches. [1:05:24] And I haven't even read them. And the award for the finest writer in the history of speechmaking. [1:05:34] Ross, where are you, Ross? Are you here? [1:05:36] Ross, where the hell is Ross? Ross, are you here? Look, first time I've ever introduced him. [1:05:41] Ross, get over here. I got it. He's a young, handsome man. He's the greatest. Thank you, [1:05:51] Ross. Very low key guy. Thank you. Look at Ross. He's so shy. I can't believe it. [1:05:59] We're joined today by Donna Zajac, a mom and a waitress of over 45 years who lives in [1:06:06] Stroudsburg. Does everybody know where Stroudsburg is? I know where it is. Because of [1:06:17] no tax on tips, Donna estimates. [1:06:20] She will keep hundreds of additional dollars every single month. And she'll put all of that [1:06:26] money toward her daughter's dream of becoming a veterinarian. That's a good, right? Are you here, [1:06:38] Donna? Where's Donna? Oh, come on up, Donna. Come on. You say a few words. Look how beautiful she [1:06:47] is. She stood up. She wasn't supposed to come up. When I looked at her, I said, come on up, Donna. [1:06:54] Look how beautiful she is. You're not allowed to say that anymore. You know, in politics, [1:06:58] if you say somebody is beautiful, that's the end of your policy. [1:07:00] I say, I don't care. I don't care. Come on up, Donna. [1:07:24] Thank you. Thank you, Trump. Thank you to President Trump for having me. [1:07:33] This is like my sister dream, but I love you, too. [1:07:38] My sister and I love you, too. But yes, with that money, that would help me with my daughter's [1:07:44] tuition. She has to make it a lot easier. Big difference. For sure. Yeah. [1:07:49] We love you. Thank you. Thank you. [1:07:52] A star is born. That's all I say. A star is born. Is your sister here? Is your sister here, [1:08:08] Donna? Are you? Oh, hello. How are you? Good family. Well, thank you. Thanks, Donna. That's [1:08:15] beautiful. Also with us is Marine Corps veteran Sean Downey, who now serves as a firefighter and [1:08:25] a local first responder. Sean worked over 400 hours. [1:08:34] Of overtime. That's a lot. And thanks to no tax on overtime, he'll take home thousands of dollars [1:08:41] extra, which he plans to use to buy your first home. And thank you. Where's Sean? Good, Sean. [1:08:49] Good. So you're going to use that money. Well, right. That was not an easy one to get approved. [1:08:54] You know, it all went through Congress. I had to really push hard. I was not nice. I was not nice [1:09:01] to get you that money. But you're going to use that money to get a house, right? A first house. [1:09:05] Good. Well, you have a you have a great. [1:09:07] Thank you very much. And here as well as Megan Hemhauser from Cresco, Pennsylvania. [1:09:21] Megan's husband works 10 to 15 hours of overtime a week, operating heavy equipment [1:09:26] while she bartends and waits tables at night and homeschools her two children during the day, [1:09:32] getting more and more prevalent homeschooling, getting more and more. It's happening. [1:09:37] That's OK. But thanks to no tax on tips and no tax on overtime, more than [1:09:45] a quarter of their income will be tax free. Megan, do you want to come up? Come on, Megan. [1:09:51] Come on up. [1:10:06] Thank you. Thank you so much. As President Trump said, I'm a mom, a wife. I homeschool my two [1:10:14] brilliant children. And the no tax on tips is incredible. No tax on overtime is incredible [1:10:21] for my husband. And it all comes back to our family. It saves us. And it's for the future [1:10:27] of our children. And it's been such a blessing to be home. [1:10:30] With them and to have them here with me tonight. And thank you for everything, President. [1:10:36] You know what's great? So she had these notes, right? Not notes. It's a speech. [1:10:48] She never even looked at it. She was great. It's much better when you don't have to read it. [1:10:53] Ladies and gentlemen, thank you. So I just thought, great job. That's a great job. [1:11:01] That's great. Never looked at the notes. She never looked at those notes. That's pretty cool. [1:11:15] I have a lot of professionals sitting right here. [1:11:16] They'll get up and read a speech. But Megan didn't have to do that. Another key part of our [1:11:23] tax cuts is known as Trump accounts. Under this new program, the federal government will be [1:11:29] creating an investment savings account for every single newborn American child with $1,000 to be [1:11:37] invested and grow over the course of their life. Right at the beginning of birth, friends, family, [1:11:42] employers and loved ones will be able to add thousands of dollars a year. And it's like a [1:11:49] trust fund for every American child. It's going to be something and it's really exciting. And I want [1:11:53] to thank Michael Dell and his beautiful Dell computer. Go out and buy a Dell computer. He got [1:12:04] his son put up $6,250,000,000 and he started with nothing. Think of that. And he just put that up [1:12:13] $6,250,000,000. Michael Dell, thank you wherever you may be. Michael is probably in Texas watching [1:12:18] us right now. And his beautiful wife. They are. [1:12:23] They're a great couple. His wife is incredible. Every single Democrat in Congress voted against [1:12:29] these unbelievable benefits for American families. Every every day. Why would you vote against money [1:12:36] is being put up? Big money is being put up. And, you know, these kids, when they get to be 18, 20, [1:12:41] 21, 30, 35 years old, they could have 100, 200,000 dollars and they're going to be rich. I mean, [1:12:48] they're going to feel rich and they're going to be watching it grow and they may be helping it [1:12:51] grow. Who knows? You never know. But it's it's going to be a great couple. [1:12:54] It's going to teach him. It's going to be a great thing. This is Michael and some other people's [1:12:59] ideas. They wanted to do this and they spoke with their wallet, too. They put up a tremendous amount [1:13:05] of money. So I just want to thank Michael Dell, his wife and family and everybody else that was [1:13:12] with us the other day. It was a big day and it's a big it's a big event. But we're joined today by [1:13:18] some of your representatives who voted to put more money in your pockets. And these are great people. [1:13:25] And I introduced David. I'm going to ask him to stand up again because David McCormick is a really [1:13:31] great man in the truest sense. He won a race. You know, he really did well the first time, too. But [1:13:38] some bad things happened. Right. And very few people are willing to do that again. And to be [1:13:44] honest, if he would have lost, I know his wife, she's a beautiful woman, extremely into the social [1:13:52] scene, but respected by everybody. She would have left him. [1:13:56] If he lost. And I told him Dina would have left him. She's very she's that way. Hey, we can't help it. [1:14:03] That's the way she is. So I said, David, you're taking a big risk if you run again, because if you lose [1:14:08] twice, your wife is leaving you. And he wasn't worried. Stand up, David McCormick. He was so [1:14:19] great. He followed me every single time I spoke. He was there and he got up and he'd speak. And I'll [1:14:25] tell you, we had big crowds, David, and the audience listened to you. In fact, they liked him more than [1:14:31] I did. I was thinking about let's keep him off the stage. But they really loved you. And you've been [1:14:37] a great senator and you have a great wife. Thank you very much. And a congressman who's been a [1:14:47] warrior and a couple of guys that have just been unbelievable. But Rob Bresnahan, would you stand [1:14:55] up? What a job you're doing. Young, handsome, central casting. Great job. Thank you very much, [1:15:07] Rob. Great job. [1:15:09] And another one. These are warriors. These two guys. But the whole the three of them. And then [1:15:14] you have the senator. But the three of them, Ryan McKenzie. Ryan, thank you. And it's hard for me to [1:15:25] explain how hard they work. But they were working so hard getting that big, beautiful bill. I call [1:15:31] it the great, big, beautiful bill passed. You know, that was supposed to be in 17 bills. And I [1:15:37] actually said it because I'm not that experienced. I haven't been doing it that long. Believe it or [1:15:43] not. But I had a big meeting with a congressman. And he was telling us all how to do something. And [1:15:48] I said, I disagree with that. He said, Sir, I've had 22 races and I've won 20 of them. I know what [1:15:56] I'm doing. And I said, Sir, I've had three races and I've won all three of them. And mine was for [1:16:05] president. And he said, all right, you got me on that. He's actually a good man. He got a little [1:16:09] carried away one day. But that's because these guys wanted to do it my way, too. [1:16:16] So we had 17 bills prepared. Dan Muser, right? Stand up, Dan. What a great guy. Stand up, [1:16:22] Mrs. Muser. Dan is a Dan is a really he's a very powerful congressman, but he's a great person, [1:16:33] great man. All three of these guys, they're warriors. And you're senators like I mean, [1:16:38] very few people that I've ever met that would take that risk. It was a risk. You know, [1:16:42] it takes guts to run for public office, right? It takes guts. A lot of guys talk, including me. I [1:16:48] talked about this for a long time before I did. [1:16:50] It takes courage to run for any public office because, you know, you can be very embarrassed. [1:16:56] You could ruin your life. Look at me. I got impeached. I got indicted. I mean, [1:17:00] I was never going to be impeached, indicted. I get indicted like 87 times with these stupid. [1:17:06] See, they should have indicted me once. They would have had a better chance [1:17:09] with all of the I'd used to get up. It was very important. I'd get up and say, [1:17:13] here we go again, ladies and gentlemen, I got indicted again. And nobody believed the whole [1:17:21] thing. And it turned out to be a hoax. I mean, just it was a total hoax. They're very, very bad, [1:17:26] very, very bad people. But Dan Muser has been a great congressman. He loves he was thinking about [1:17:32] running for governor. I think you would have one of your end. But, you know, in a selfish way, [1:17:37] I like you in Washington even better. So I want to thank you very much. Great. Great job. Thank [1:17:43] you. That's even more important. Thank you. Thank you very much. And thanks as well to Secretary of [1:17:52] the Treasury Scott. [1:17:53] Best and Secretary of Energy Chris Wright. You guys have been great. Thank you. I introduced [1:17:59] them, but I want to introduce because they have been so good. A major factor that fueled inflation [1:18:05] under Biden was the invasion of 25 million people. Think of this. Twenty five million people came [1:18:12] into our country totally unchecked and unvetted, mostly across our southern border. Ten months ago, [1:18:19] we inherited the worst border in the history of the world. And now we have the strongest border. [1:18:23] In the history of our country, we've never had a border. And people don't talk about it. You notice [1:18:33] they don't talk about it. When I ran, when I was running, it was the biggest thing. And before I [1:18:38] was right, that's all they talked about the border, the border, the border. And now I fixed it. Nobody [1:18:42] wants to talk about it. Even my people, they say, sir, don't put it in your speech. Why? Because [1:18:48] nobody cares about the border. You fix it. No, but you know how bad that is because they forget what [1:18:55] you did. We had a border that was so bad. [1:18:59] Everybody, criminals, everybody pouring into our country. Anybody, you know, the the Congo. I just [1:19:06] settled that war. The Congo, their entire prison population was set into our country. Venezuela, [1:19:14] their entire prison population was dumped into our country. And now we have the tightest border [1:19:21] we've ever had. We have one of the strongest borders anywhere in the world. I would say [1:19:29] there's one country that has probably a stronger border. You know what that is? [1:19:32] North Korea. North Korea, I think, has a stronger border. But other than North Korea, North Korea has [1:19:39] seven walls of wire, and each of them has a million volts of electricity going through it. [1:19:47] So if you get over one, you're dead for the next one. If you get over one, you're in very bad shape. [1:19:52] If you get over two, you've set a record. So I don't know. Scott, I think we give North Korea the [1:19:58] safest border, don't you agree? You know, but ours is pretty safe. And I want to thank Pete. [1:20:04] Hexeth and the military for helping us. And again, for seven months in a row, we've had [1:20:17] zero illegal aliens that have been admitted to the United States. Do you remember when [1:20:25] Biden said, I need legislation to do that? And I said, No, all you need is a new president. [1:20:31] I didn't get I didn't get legislation. Scott, did I get legislation? I said, close the frickin [1:20:38] border right now. And they did it. Because our border patrol is incredible. ICE is incredible [1:20:46] for ICE. They take a lot of abuse, but they're the toughest people. And again, Washington DC now [1:20:52] is we had the tragedy, which was a terrorism tragedy. But we have Washington DC, the safest [1:20:59] it's been in 52 years. Think of that. And a year ago, you couldn't walk down a street in Washington, [1:21:07] our nation's capital. And now restaurants are booming. Restaurants are opening. The restaurants [1:21:12] were closing. Now the restaurants are open. You can't get into a restaurant in Washington, DC. [1:21:18] Biden and the radical left Democrats turned Pennsylvania into a dumping ground for hundreds [1:21:22] of thousands of migrants from the most dysfunctional places on earth, like Somalia, and gave them [1:21:30] billions and billions of your taxpayer dollars. But we didn't really give it. It was stolen. [1:21:36] And those people should go to jail. Yeah. And if they don't go to jail, Scott Besant [1:21:49] is toast. He's toast. I'll tell you, that could be the easiest case. [1:21:57] I think it's too easy for you. Just give it to your assistants. They can do that case. These [1:22:01] people are crooks. They don't work. Ninety one percent unemployment. OK, it's a scam and it's [1:22:09] headed up by the crooked congresswoman. Whatever happened to her brother, by the way, is he still [1:22:15] around? Yeah, he went low. He went low. He's not happy. Would you look into him, too, Scott? Would [1:22:27] you find out the brother, please? She said, how dare you say that about me? It's discrimination. [1:22:35] Let me tell you, black people love Trump. I got the biggest vote. I got the biggest vote with black [1:22:43] people. They know a scam better than anybody. They know what it is to be scammed. Thank you, man. [1:22:49] Thank you. I appreciate it. We did great. Thank you. I like this guy. Thank you. We got a [1:22:59] tremendous black vote. We got a tremendous Hispanic vote. We got it. We got a tremendous [1:23:04] because we speak the truth. They get it. Everybody gets it. Everybody. Pretty much everybody gets [1:23:09] it. And they know where the real deal. Our country's become so strong in such as ten months. [1:23:15] Think of it. It's not even a year. It's like if we keep going like this, I don't know if we can do [1:23:19] that. But if we keep going like this, there'll be nothing ever in history like it already. [1:23:24] They are saying better than Lincoln, better than Washington, better than anybody. The best ten [1:23:30] months ever in the history of the presidency. And for the first time in 50 years, we now have [1:23:43] more jobs, better wages and higher income for American citizens, not for illegal aliens. [1:23:51] And you know what? We all have a heart. We want to take care of people. But these people [1:23:55] are getting killed on the walk up. They're dying. They're dying. They have to go through [1:23:59] jungles. We don't realize this. They are going through areas that are not that it's not possible [1:24:05] to get through some of the areas. They're going through jungles down in the Central [1:24:09] America, South America, some of these areas with snakes. [1:24:13] With crocodiles and alligators, they're getting just eat and they're getting beat up by some [1:24:19] of the bad people. Women are being raped. Remember when I started, I said we're going [1:24:23] to stop the raping women in those caravans, a name conceived by me because it's a caravan? [1:24:31] Thousands of people, ten, fifteen, 20,000 people coming up. The women in those caravans [1:24:36] are being raped in unprecedented numbers by other people in the caravans. By them not [1:24:43] coming. [1:24:43] even trying to come now because they know they can't get through. [1:24:47] We're doing a tremendous service because they're not being killed and they're not being raped [1:24:52] and they're not just staying back in their country where they've been and they've been [1:25:00] taken care of. [1:25:01] I've also announced a permanent pause on third world migration, including from hell holes [1:25:06] like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia and many other countries say shit. [1:25:20] All you did remember, I said that to the Senate as they came in. [1:25:29] The Democrats, they wanted to be bipartisan. [1:25:32] So they came in and they said, this is totally off the record. [1:25:36] Nothing mentioned here. [1:25:37] We want to be honest because our country was going to hell and we had a meeting and I say, [1:25:44] why is it we only take people from shit hole countries, right? [1:25:50] Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, just a few, let's have a few from [1:25:57] from Denmark. [1:25:58] Do you mind sending us a few people? [1:26:00] Send us some nice people. [1:26:01] Do you mind? [1:26:03] But we always take people from Somalia, places that are a disaster, right? [1:26:09] Filthy, dirty, disgusting, ridden with crime. [1:26:12] The only thing they're good at is going after ships, but they don't go after our ships. [1:26:17] You know why? [1:26:18] Because that same missile that knocks the crap out of them, that with the drug deal [1:26:25] is from, from Venezuela and others, that same missile, think of it from hundreds of miles [1:26:36] away. [1:26:37] They look, we have the greatest military. [1:26:38] We have the greatest equipment. [1:26:39] We make the greatest equipment in the world. [1:26:41] I bought more equipment. [1:26:43] I had what we rebuilt the military in the first time. [1:26:46] Then stupid Joe gave a lot of it to Afghanistan, but it was still, it was a lot, but relatively [1:26:51] little, but we're still adding to it a lot. [1:26:55] But I'll tell you what, that same, see, I'm looking at this big tough guy with the red [1:26:59] hat on. [1:27:00] I like that guy. [1:27:01] But stand up. [1:27:02] Let me just see what you look like. [1:27:03] I don't, nobody's going to mess with him. [1:27:06] Okay. [1:27:07] Be central. [1:27:08] Yes. [1:27:09] Thank you very much. [1:27:10] Very good. [1:27:11] He's enjoying it. [1:27:12] I like people that enjoy things because you got to smile about this whole thing, but that [1:27:16] same missile system that hits the center of everyone. [1:27:21] Remember every boat that gets it, we don't want to do that, but every boat that gets [1:27:25] it, we save 25,000 American lives. [1:27:30] And when you view it that way, you don't mind, but we have that same system aimed at Somalia. [1:27:40] And if they go and want to raid our ships and not our ships worldwide shipping, they're [1:27:44] going to get hit. [1:27:45] You know, they used to go and take the ships. [1:27:49] When one or two of them get hit, they say, we'll pass. [1:27:52] So we've cut down drugs, 94% coming in from sea, 94, right, 94% user, 94% user. [1:28:06] That's pretty good. [1:28:07] We're trying to figure out who the hell are the other 6% they're, they're finding it very [1:28:11] hard to get people to navigate those waters. [1:28:14] The problem is nobody wants to go fishing anymore. [1:28:16] Either. [1:28:17] They don't want to get in boats. [1:28:19] They don't want anything to do with boats. [1:28:21] I think we've destroyed the boat market. [1:28:23] Other than that, it's been very effective. [1:28:25] We've cut it down 96% to think of that. [1:28:29] And now we're going to do land because the land is much easier and it's even more prevalent. [1:28:36] If you don't share our values, contribute to our economy and assimilate into our society [1:28:41] that we don't want you in our country. [1:28:43] We don't want you. [1:28:50] I mean, Ilan Omar and the people from Somalia, they hate our country. [1:28:54] Oh my God. [1:28:55] They think we're stupid people, which actually, when they allow that to happen, they are. [1:29:00] That's headed by a governor waltz. [1:29:02] One of the dumber people around nobody's given, but think of it. [1:29:08] He's given not like peanuts billions. [1:29:12] These are people that don't work in their own country, their own countries of failure. [1:29:16] They have no money. [1:29:17] And yet they come into our country and steal tens of billions of dollars. [1:29:23] How stupid are we to allow that to happen? [1:29:26] They can't earn 10 cents in their country. [1:29:28] They come over here and rob. [1:29:31] Are we that easy? [1:29:33] Are we that easy to allow a thing like that to happen? [1:29:37] That's up to you. [1:29:39] And look at what's going on in North Carolina. [1:29:42] We have a big Senate race. [1:29:44] We have a fantastic man, Michael Watley, running as a Republican head of the Republican Party, [1:29:50] won elections, won the presidential election for us. [1:29:53] He's running against a governor who is a radical left lunatic. [1:29:57] And Michael should win. [1:29:58] I don't know. [1:29:59] It's hard. [1:30:00] He's running against a governor. [1:30:01] But the governor didn't do a good job. [1:30:02] But what's happening in North Carolina, two of the most vicious murders that anyone's [1:30:06] ever seen in Charlotte, and it's all run by the Democrats. [1:30:11] What's going on there? [1:30:12] The young lady from Ukraine, you saw that one where a guy from behind just cut her throat [1:30:18] on tape. [1:30:19] Can't even watch it. [1:30:21] What's going on in North Carolina? [1:30:22] You need a Republican running that and you need you've got to have a Republican Senate [1:30:28] tour elected if you don't. [1:30:30] And Michael Watley is running. [1:30:31] He's going to be great. [1:30:31] So we have people from North Carolina here. [1:30:33] Otherwise, I wouldn't be wasting so many words to Senate race. [1:30:38] But you agree with me, I think, Mr. Senator, together, we've achieved more in less than [1:30:43] one year than most other administrations have achieved in eight years. [1:30:47] And we're restoring law and order to our cities, backing the men and women of law enforcement. [1:30:52] I love law enforcement and standing with the heroes of ICE and Border Patrol. [1:30:59] We've ended political correctness in our military. [1:31:02] We've. [1:31:03] Named the Department of Defense into the Department of War. [1:31:11] I said to Pete, you know, Pete's a tough cookie. [1:31:13] And I said to Pete, I used to do interviews with him and all he wanted to talk about was [1:31:17] the military. [1:31:18] So this guy is great, smart guy, great education, great everything. [1:31:23] The press gave him a hard time, real hard time. [1:31:25] But he's really proven to be very, very good, very, very strong, young, strong, smart. [1:31:31] We have Raisin Cane, the great general who knocked out ISIS for us in four weeks. [1:31:37] Raisin Cane, they said it was going to take, right? [1:31:39] They said, is it going to take five years, sir or it'll take five years? [1:31:44] He said, Sir, I can do it in four weeks. [1:31:46] Did it in three weeks. [1:31:47] Knocked out ISIS. [1:31:48] He did a hell of a job by knocking out the Iran nuclear capability. [1:31:58] We knocked out the Iran nuclear capability. [1:32:01] Now compare that to Jimmy Carter, the Democrats. [1:32:06] Well, he was a nice man, but he was. [1:32:11] But we don't really want a nice. [1:32:13] you want to have somebody that's capable you know they're talking about greg gutfeld he's a very [1:32:18] good guy greg gutfeld very good but greg gutfeld had he didn't like me early very early in his [1:32:27] he didn't like me i don't know he just didn't like me and it was all right but you know forget it's [1:32:33] okay i'll live with it then all of a sudden he started saying you know i don't like this guy [1:32:37] but everything he says he gets it done and you know then he born a couple of months later and [1:32:42] he started going like i'm starting to like that guy but every damn thing he says he gets it done [1:32:48] and it's all really good common sense tough stuff i've never seen anything like it everything he [1:32:52] says he gets done and then he started to really like me and then we did an interview it was [1:32:57] supposed to be a 10 minute interview it lasted for two hours there was a good chemistry and he [1:33:02] did five shows all five shows that week and he got the highest ratings that anyone's ever gotten in [1:33:06] that time slot and he became legendary i'm happy for him but there was something but he said during [1:33:13] the [1:33:13] the [1:33:13] the process he said so would i rather have a guy as president who was really a nice guy who i liked [1:33:20] or a guy who i can't stand that gets everything done and turns our country into a great country [1:33:26] again and uh he was smart it was very it was a very interesting process but he's a great guy he's [1:33:32] doing really well totally dominates the late night totally dominates i guess there's morons [1:33:37] that they have at the other kimmel what what what bad what bad people in 10 months i ended [1:33:44] eight wars including kosovo serbia pakistan and india they were going at it israel and iran [1:33:51] egypt and ethiopia you didn't know about that armenia and azerbaijan and i hate to say this [1:33:58] one named cambodia thailand that it started up today tomorrow i have to make a phone call and [1:34:02] i think they'll get it who else could say i'm going to make a phone call and stop a war of two [1:34:10] very powerful countries thailand and cambodia they're going at it again but i'll do it [1:34:18] so we're making peace through strength that's what we're doing we've cut federal funding for [1:34:23] any school that pushes critical race theory or transgender insanity no more money we banned the [1:34:31] chemical surgical mutilation of children think of this can you imagine if you were up here 15 years [1:34:39] ago we have banned the chemical mutilation of children they'd say this guy's crazy we actually [1:34:45] had to ban it but think can you imagine that or i have stopped men from playing in women's sports [1:34:52] say this guy's crazy women men don't play in women's sports stop men well that's another [1:34:57] thing we stopped men from playing in women's sports and we're restoring the name of a great [1:35:02] president william mckinley to mount mckinley in beautiful alaska and i renamed the gulf of mexico [1:35:10] into the gulf of america so in conclusion from the shipyards of philadelphia to the steel mills of [1:35:28] pittsburgh these are great places maybe some of you don't even realize it [1:35:32] you know you get used to it a little bit too much sometimes but these are great places [1:35:37]

bringing it surging back here hot our country's hot and [1:35:58] you're hot together we're repairing four years of disaster by the radical left democrats in congress [1:36:06] by the european representatives that are acerca of this he is not just a bad president he is [1:36:11] a bad president the worst president in the history of our country he is i mean it's not a question [1:36:16]
