TRUMP FULL SPEECH and RALLY in NORTH CAROLINA — UNITED STATES TODAY

[0:10] And gentlemen, please welcome the 45th and 47th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump. [1:00] Thank you very much. This was just a little quick stop that we made yesterday. Let's go to North Carolina. We want to go to North Carolina. And what a crowd. Thank you very much. [3:35] We appreciate it. We'll never. There'll never be anything like this. You know, you say, let's go to North Carolina. We'll get this great crowd outside. You have people. It's crazy. We're having a great time. And you know, these ladies right here, they've been to, I think, over 200 rallies, but I'm not going to say. And this time I made it easy because they come from North Carolina. They didn't have to travel today. They traveled about a half an hour. Right. Isn't that nice? Instead of traveling all over the country. They're unbelievable. [4:06] And you look better than you've ever looked. And I'm not allowed to say that. You know, if you say that, if you say a woman looks beautiful, which you do, it's the end of your political career. [4:16] But I don't care. You look beautiful. [4:19] Well, I'm thrilled to be back in this incredible state with so many proud, hardworking American patriots, which is what you are. [4:26] Let me begin by wishing each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas. Remember, they didn't want to say Merry Christmas when I first started 2016. [4:40] We don't want to say Merry Christmas. They said, I said, no, we're going to bring back Christmas. And they don't say that anymore. [4:46] They don't want to say it, but they don't talk about it anymore because they got shellacked. [4:51] We're here tonight to celebrate 11 incredible months. It's been the most successful first year of any president in the history of our country. [5:00] It has been, isn't that a big statement, but it's a statement that you read all over the place. [5:10] I mean, who could have done better? I don't think anybody could have done better than us, not me, than us. [5:16] We're all wearing this together. [5:18] Since my inauguration, we've created more than 53,000 North Carolina jobs, including 8,000 North Carolina construction jobs. [5:29] More than 150,000 North Carolina residents have been lifted off of food stamps. They're very happy about that. [5:39] And after a horrible hurricane, which produced more water damage than any hurricane in history, the Democrats let you down. [5:48] They really did. Remember, they wouldn't do anything. Remember? [5:51] They wouldn't go to your community. They wouldn't do anything. You had to wait till January 20th when I took office that we really knocked the hell out of it. [5:59] Remember? [6:00] As soon as I took office, I got in on January 20th and I first thing I did was made North Carolina phone calls and we did a hell of a job. [6:11] Did a hell of a job. [6:12] You'd still be sitting in the mud if I didn't get elected. You would be. People were sitting in the mud. [6:19] But I helped rebuild your state and I didn't get any help from the Democrats. [6:23] Not your governor, not your man that's running, by the way, for Senate against Michael Watley, who's phenomenal. [6:29] Michael Watley is incredible. [6:33] Your previous governor was a disaster. He's also a radical left person, by the way. [6:37] He's radical left. You don't want him. He doesn't represent you. [6:40] You just, and look at the crime. Look at what's going on with all the crime here. The slitting throats and stuff. [6:47] I didn't, I never saw that with you. Now, all of a sudden, that's what we see. [6:51] You got to get Michael Watley. It's going to be so important. He was so great. [6:55] Don't forget, I took Michael and I put him as the head of the party because he did so great. [7:02] We won the state all three times and it was like a rock. [7:06] He didn't allow cheating in the second time. [7:09] I watched all these states. Boom, boom. We're leading. People went to sleep. It was over. [7:16] Then they dropped ballots. They cheated like hell. [7:20] The only good thing is this is a far better term than it would have been had I done it the more traditional way. [7:27] It really is. It's a more powerful term. It's a more powerful term. [7:32] And the biggest news of all is yesterday, it was announced that inflation is far lower than anybody expected. [7:39] I told you. Beating every one of the 61 forecasts from the so-called geniuses, the experts. [7:48] We're the geniuses, not them. [7:51] We now have the lowest core inflation since March of 2021 and we're just getting started. [7:57] It's unbelievable. [7:58] And that's despite taking in billions and billions and billions, hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs. [8:08] Remember they said, oh, the tariffs will cost inflation. [8:10] Just came out with the best inflation report we've had in years and lots of cash, too. [8:16] In fact, 1776, right? [8:24] $1,776 goes to our military. [8:30] You know, it was $1,775. [8:35] And that was the number. [8:36] You know, that was just a lump. [8:38] I said, you know, if we had $1, we got $1,776. [8:43] Somebody said, that's genius. [8:45] I said, well, I'm smart. [8:49] I said, for $1 and I'll get these ladies who are loaded with money to pay for it from North Carolina. [8:56] Their husbands can write a check in two seconds, take care of it. [8:59] No, think of it. [9:00] For $1 more, they said, I can't believe we didn't think of that. [9:04] Only hours ago, I left a meeting at the White House where we cut the cost of prescription drugs by 300, 400, 500, and even 600%. [9:14] And I'm doing what no politician of either party has ever done before, standing up to the special interests and demanding lower prices for the American people. [9:24] This is what we're doing. [9:25] You know, it's called favored nations. [9:28] And nations all over the world were screwing us. [9:31] We would have prices that were 10 times higher than the prices they were charging in London and in Paris and all over. [9:42] All over the world, we had the highest prices for drugs because we had politicians that wouldn't. [9:47] I did it at the beginning, at the first, but then we had a thing called, you know what happened, COVID? [9:53] And it was sort of hard to go after France and Italy, say, listen, on top of all your COVID all over the place with everyone dying, we want you to pay a lot of money for drugs. [10:02] You can't do it. [10:03] But we did it, and nobody's ever even thought of doing it before. [10:07] I've negotiated and really did it directly with 17 of the world's largest drug companies as well as foreign nations that were taking advantage of your country for decades, many decades. [10:20] For years, Americans have been paying the highest drug prices anywhere in the world by far, 10 times more sometimes, 15 in the U.S. [10:29] So you're not going to have to raise it that much, but you have to raise it. [10:33] And they always said for 50 years, they say, let the United States pay. [10:38] And for 50 years, the United States got screwed because we're paying so much more. [10:43] A drug that was selling for $10 in London sells for $130. [10:49] That's 13 times more in New York. [10:51] 13 times more. [10:52] So $10 in London, $130 in New York. [10:57] And now that drug will go up for the other country from $10 to only $20 or maybe $30. [11:07] And it will come down from the United States of America to $20 from $130. [11:14] Think of that. [11:17] Think of that. [11:20] That's the biggest price reduction. [11:23] What you talk about, you talk about cutting prices, cutting costs and cutting prices. [11:28] You talk about affordability. [11:31] You know, the Democrats, they're the ones that got us into the mess. [11:34] They're the ones that caused the high prices. [11:37] And then they come out and they look and they look at those fake news people. [11:41] This election is about affordability. [11:46] They go, let's talk about it. [11:47] No, I'd rather not talk about it because they can't. [11:50] They're the ones that caused the highest inflation in the history of our country, [11:54] which led to the highest prices in the history of our country. [11:58] I inherited the mess. [11:59] I got the prices down and they're going down silver. [12:02] They look at gasoline. [12:03] A lot of areas now in our country, $1.99 a gallon. [12:09] It costs these ladies from North, these beautiful friends of mine from North Carolina, [12:17] it costs them like one third to get here than it would have cost under Sleepy Joe Biden. [12:23] All right. [12:26] If you drive, this time you can drive. [12:28] It's the first time you didn't have to take an airplane. [12:30] But we had nine blockbuster agreements. [12:33] We had nine of them with the big drug companies just today. [12:37] The rest are coming over the next couple of weeks. [12:39] But the first dramatic drug discounts will be available to all Americans starting in January [12:44] at a thing called TrumpRx.gov. [12:48] TrumpRx.gov. [12:49] But this is the biggest thing ever to happen on drug prices, pharmaceutical prices. [12:57] And it will also tremendously, it's going to reduce the cost of health care [13:01] because health care is probably 50% about drugs, right? [13:05] Your drugs are coming down at levels that nobody ever thought was possible. [13:10] This achievement alone should win us the midterms. [13:15] You know, if we did nothing else, I said today, I said, you know, [13:18] you're talking about, like, this massive reduction in drug prices that affects everybody. [13:25] Older people, younger people, middle-aged people, sick people, well people. [13:30] It's not just like patients, it's everybody. [13:32] It can never happen. [13:35] Nobody would ever have done this. [13:36] It was very hard to do. [13:37] I had countries laughing at me. [13:39] I said, listen, you're going to have to double and triple your drug prices. [13:43] They said, France, as an example, UK, European Union. [13:50] They said, you must be kidding. [13:54] They've had low prices for years. [13:56] The drug companies would go, could you pay more? [13:58] No, no, charge the United... [13:59] They wanted the drug companies, in all fairness, [14:02] to charge the United States of America. [14:05] And they made up all sorts of crap. [14:07] Well, research and development. [14:09] I said, well, what about research and development? [14:11] Why aren't they paying also for research? [14:12] Well, it just never worked that way. [14:14] They used to use, remember, research and development. [14:16] That's why we pay more. [14:18] They say, 12 times more? [14:19] Why? [14:20] For research and development? [14:21] It was all a con job. [14:23] But I'd say to the head of France, as an example, [14:27] I'm sorry, but you're going to have to double or triple your prices for drugs. [14:32] No, no, no, we will not do that. [14:34] Oh, yes, you will. [14:35] I said, yes, you will. [14:37] No, no, no, we will not do that. [14:40] Of course, we will not. [14:41] I can't do that. [14:42] I said, yes, you will. [14:43] No, I won't. [14:45] Yes, you will. [14:47] And he said, why do you have such certainty? [14:52] I said, because if you don't do it, I'm going to charge you a 25% tariff on everything you sell into America. [14:57] And I said, because that was really the sticking point. [15:08] They just would do it. [15:09] They told the drug companies for years, we're not doing it. [15:12] We're keeping that pill at $10. [15:15] We're not going to raise it. [15:16] And the drug companies said, well, you know, it's unfair. [15:19] I mean, they're paying, they're paying 10 times more, sometimes 15 times more. [15:26] That's okay. [15:27] Let them pay more. [15:28] We're not paying more than that. [15:30] The prices were stuck for years. [15:31] And no president did anything about it. [15:35] Sleepy Joe Biden didn't know he was alive. [15:38] The last thing he cared about, the last thing he cared about was this. [15:44] He didn't care about anything. [15:46] Just wanted to make it through. [15:48] But they cheated. [15:51] Look, he was surrounded by radical left. [15:53] Hey, did you see on Mar-a-Lago, did you see how corrupt that was now? [15:58] It's all come out. [15:59] Wow. [15:59] It's all come out. [16:01] Some life. [16:03] It's all come out. [16:03] They were totally corrupt, radical left lunatics. [16:06] Not stupid people, by the way. [16:08] He was. [16:08] But the people that really ran the country and that really ran the auto pen, they were not stupid. [16:13] But think about what we've done. [16:16] And under the Trump administration, America will not be ripped off any longer. [16:21] So can you imagine these countries? [16:27] And when I told you the example before, from $10 to $20, you know, that doesn't sound like much. [16:34] But it's a doubling of the price. [16:36] You know, that's a doubling of the price. [16:38] And if it went to $30 or $35 or $40, you know, that's still a doubling, tripling or quadrupling of the price. [16:45] But I said, at 25% tariff, it's much more money than what you're talking about. [16:52] So they would say to me, every, all countries, you know, obviously they said no at the beginning. [16:57] And they would have told a normal president no. [17:00] And that would have been the end of the conversation. [17:01] So they said no to me. [17:03] And I said, no, no, you'll do it, 100%. [17:05] And they said, what's wrong with this 100%? [17:10] I said, 100% that you're going to do it. [17:14] The one asked me, why are you so certain? [17:16] Why would you say that I would? [17:17] It was bad health care at much too high a cost. [17:20] And you see now that the steep increase in premiums, it's being demanded by the Democrats. [17:26] It was never any good, Obamacare. [17:28] It was done for the benefit of insurance companies, which totally control the Democrats. [17:34] That's why you could have a strike on January 30th. [17:37] You could have another shutdown because the Democrats are totally in the hands of, [17:43] they're totally controlled by the insurance companies, big, wealthy companies. [17:47] Again, I want the money to go directly to the people so you can buy your own health care. [17:52] And you'll get much better health care at a much lower price. [17:55] And the only losers will be the insurance companies that have gotten rich. [18:07] How about these companies? [18:08] Some of them have gone up 1,400% their stock prices. [18:13] One, I think, went up 1,700%. [18:15] How many people have ever bought a stock that went up 1,700%? [18:21] And think of it. [18:23] They've taken in billions and billions of dollars. [18:27] And the Democrat Party is also just, you know, it's, look, I don't know. [18:33] I don't know what they're going to do because I don't know how anybody beats us [18:35] when we say that we want the money to go to the people so you can buy your own health care. [18:40] How could it ever be better than that? [18:41] I wanted to do that at the beginning in 2016. [18:45] But the politicians told me, sir, you know, I was a little bit inexperienced. [18:50] I never did that. [18:51] I've never done this before. [18:52] Now I'm quite experienced. [18:53] I've seen things that nobody would have thought possible. [18:56] But I said then, I said, why do we have this crazy Obamacare or, as we call it, the unaffordable, [19:05] isn't that a great name, the Affordable Care Act? [19:07] They call it the, I call it the unaffordable. [19:09] But it was always no good. [19:10] But now it's really gone. [19:12] With time, it gets worse. [19:13] Now it's going to be hit big. [19:15] Remember, I didn't do this. [19:16] This is Obamacare. [19:18] This is Obamacare. [19:19] This isn't Trump. [19:19] But you don't need it because let the money not go to the insurance companies. [19:24] The problem is the Democrats will shut down the government because they are totally beholden. [19:30] I don't love that word, but they're beholden, I-N, to, they're beholden to the insurance companies. [19:38] So I don't know what they can do about it. [19:40] But, you know, they'll probably close down the government. [19:42] It's so simple. [19:44] The money should go to the people. [19:46] The people should then take all of this money and buy the best health care there is. [19:51] And there'll be a lot of money left over. [19:56] But they'll not be happy. [20:10] But that's okay with me because you, the hardworking citizens, [20:14] and finally you're going to have great health care at the right price. [20:17] So you're going to have it. [20:18] Although today I did suggest one thing because when I was watching these big drug companies get up and talk about things, [20:24] they were giving free medicine. [20:27] I mean, they couldn't have been nicer. [20:28] They couldn't have been better. [20:29] And they were, you know, giving us a hard time a while ago, but it worked out good. [20:33] I said, you know what I'm going to do? [20:34] I'm going to call these insurance companies because I work all the time. [20:38] So, oh, well, he had a bad day. [20:41] Yeah, he had a bad day. [20:42] Harassed the hell out of him. [20:43] It turned out to be a fake story. [20:44] Never, there was no stoppage of his car and there was no harassment. [20:49] That man suffered. [20:51] He, what he did, what he went through because he knew the election was rigged. [20:55] And he did it. [20:55] He didn't, I mean, he just did it as a citizen. [20:58] Mike Lindell, I'll tell you what, every time I introduced him, he got the biggest hand. [21:02] I hope he does great. [21:03] He deserves to do great. [21:05] That man suffered. [21:07] These people went after him. [21:08] They went after his company. [21:10] They did that with me, too. [21:11] But at least I knew what I was getting into. [21:14] He was just a guy that said, geez, this election. [21:17] You're reading into a piece of glass. [21:19] I got no audience. [21:20] I got just people, very hostile people, waiting around. [21:24] And I'm reading into a piece of glass for 22 minutes. [21:27] And I talk about the chart. [21:30] The networks didn't put up the charts. [21:32] Only Fox put up the charts. [21:34] Fox put them up, in all fairness. [21:36] When we get angry at Fox, we have to remember that they put up the charts. [21:41] So you can start putting them up now if you want. [21:43] But we put up these beautiful charts. [21:45] But this is okay. [21:49] There'll never be a great chart for me. [21:51] It's only the one. [21:52] Compared to Butler, all charts stink. [21:57] But look at that chart. [21:58] Look at the kind of Biden price increases and Trump price increases. [22:02] Look at that. [22:02] They're all Biden. [22:04] We're bringing the prices down. [22:05] Look, who happens to be Hispanic and happens to be phenomenal. [22:08] She's going to do a great job. [22:09] But they fired Chris Christie. [22:12] I guess you know why he wanted to eat all the time. [22:15] No, they fired him. [22:18] He was bad news. [22:21] But I'd say ABC is the worst of the networks. [22:25] I would then say NBC is horrible. [22:30] I mean, just horrible. [22:31] They had this guy on, this fake guy, the fake senator. [22:35] I call him the fake senator from a place called Georgia, right? [22:39] And he was talking about all the, you know, things. [22:43] He says he's a church leader. [22:45] You know, it's funny. [22:46] If you go in as a church leader, they talk about church and state, right? [22:49] He's allowed to talk about it. [22:50] He said, I'm going back to my church and I'm going to pray this morning. [22:54] I'm going to talk about all these issues. [22:55] If a Republican said that, they start screaming church and state. [22:59] I'm neurotic, too. [23:01] I think I'm probably very neurotic, too. [23:03] I always say controlled neuroses is good. [23:06] Being neurotic, no good. [23:07] But if it's controlled, that's okay. [23:09] It gives you some energy. [23:11] But what the hell happened to Marjorie Trader Green? [23:16] It's unbelievable. [23:17] But she dropped out because I wasn't going to endorse her. [23:22] And the person I would have endorsed was going to kill her in the polls. [23:25] So she dropped out. [23:27] And then they talk about how brave she is. [23:29] No brave would be to stay. [23:32] And, you know, it's one of those things. [23:35] But she dropped out. [23:36] I can't believe it that people can change so much. [23:39] But you can't go from being a strong conservative to a stone-cold liberal unless you were lying. [23:46] You know, you can't do that. [23:47] I mean, you can stop liking somebody. [23:49] Or you can say, I don't know. [23:51] She's fake. [23:52] Look, front row Joe. [23:53] What are you doing in the second row? [23:55] What happened? [23:56] Well, you're in the front row. [23:57] That's good. [23:59] That's front row Joe. [24:00] I don't know who's been there. [24:01] The front row Joe's or you? [24:02] That's pretty close. [24:04] Very different. [24:05] Hey, very different types. [24:07] Would you stand up, please, in the front row? [24:09] Just stand up. [24:10] Look at these women. [24:11] Look. [24:13] How incredible they are. [24:17] Right? [24:18] Even front row Joe's will admit they're very great. [24:21] Right? [24:21] Look how beautiful they are. [24:24] They, uh, people like you built our country. [24:28] You built our country. [24:30] And, uh, that's why we love you. [24:31] You built our country. [24:33] The people in this room built our country. [24:36] Yeah. [24:37] Under sleepy Joe Biden, car prices, gasoline prices, hotel rates, airfare, and more went up 30% to 75%. [24:45] Now they're all coming down. [24:48] We're all coming down. [24:49] Take a look at that. [24:50] Isn't that beautiful to look? [24:52] The same is true with groceries. [24:53] The price of Thanksgiving turkey was down by 60%. [24:55] Turkey was down by 33% compared to Sleepy Joe's high-priced era. [25:02] Don't forget, when you have the highest inflation in history and or 48 years, do we think more 48 years? [25:14] Do we think 40... [25:15] I mean, look, in terms of speech, I think 48 years is the equivalent of history. [25:21] Do we agree? [25:22] Can we say? [25:23] Because they had a piece on me today in one of these fake newspapers, which are all dying. [25:29] But it was too big, so... [25:30] It came back, what an evening. [25:32] That was... [25:33] What was better, 2016 or 2024? [25:37] Tell me. [25:38] I don't know. [25:41] 2016 was pretty monumental. [25:44] What was better? [25:46] I don't know. [25:47] Beating Hillary was fun. [25:56] Well, Hillary has a much higher IQ than Kamala. [25:58] I would say, I think Hillary has probably 50 or 60 points higher. [26:06] Now, Hillary was smart. [26:07] She was nasty. [26:09] I wouldn't want to go home to her. [26:15] She was nasty. [26:17] Remember? [26:18] Remember? [26:19] She was a nasty person. [26:21] I was going to use a B word. [26:23] I said, no. [26:23] My wife would not be happy. [26:26] My wife always says, please, please don't use foul language. [26:30] You know who else does? [26:32] Franklin Graham. [26:34] He says, President... [26:37] He says, I love your speaking ability, President. [26:39] You're a great speaker. [26:40] Although nobody says it. [26:41] You know, I get these big crowds, but did you ever see the press do a story that I'm a great speaker? [26:47] They say, oh, he looked tired. [26:49] Oh, he's this. [26:50] Oh, he's that. [26:52] Yeah, I mean, it's crazy. [26:54] I get crowds, the biggest crowds in history of anything, not only... [26:57] Of anything. [26:59] They never say, he gave a great speech tonight in front of 45,000 people. [27:04] Look at the crowds that we get, or the biggest crowds ever before the election. [27:09] We're getting 80. [27:10] We had 117,000 people show up in New Jersey. [27:14] It was a great speech. [27:15] You know what they said? [27:17] He looked tired. [27:19] You can't be tired in front of 117,000 people. [27:23] It's not possible. [27:24] You've got a lot of adrenaline. [27:26] The adrenaline is pumping, right? [27:28] But that's why they're fake news. [27:29] That's why nobody listens to him anymore. [27:32] But remember, I said, what's wrong with this guy? [27:35] Then I got another call. [27:37] Oh, you're okay. [27:40] They said that I had passed away. [27:42] Do you remember? [27:44] First day in 28 days, these people are sick. [27:47] That's why I've taken more physicals, because I think you have an obligation to, you know, report. [27:52] And I hate when they put out false reports. [27:55] So they put out a report that Donald Trump, so I took a lot of physicals. [27:59] And I did something no other president's ever done. [28:01] And I took cognitive tests. [28:03] Because I know that, and by the way, not easy. [28:07] You get to those last questions, those last 10, 15 questions. [28:12] Those, nobody on that stand could answer probably any of them. [28:16] And I got them. [28:18] I aced them. [28:20] And no other president's taken a cognitive test. [28:22] Could you imagine Sleepy Joe taking a cognitive test? [28:26] I don't think it got the first, you know, the first question is like, what is this? [28:30] And they show a lion, a giraffe, a fish, and a hippopotamus, right? [28:36] And they say, which is the giraffe? [28:41] So that's the only, well, here's the good news. [28:44] The good news, if you do well, that's great. [28:46] Actually, if you do well, they won't report it. [28:48] If you do badly, it's going to be the biggest story in history. [28:50] They said, you know, it's possible that if you do badly, the word will leak out. [28:54] And you look very bad. [28:56] I said, this was on my first test. [28:58] After that, I knew that I can do very well. [29:01] Smart person. [29:03] So what happens, what happens is first test, I said, how hard is it? [29:07] He said, well, after the 10th or 12th question, it gets, you know, very hard. [29:12] And I said, well, what do you think? [29:14] They said, look, if you're going to do well, but if you're not going to do well, [29:16] it's probable that the word will get out. [29:20] I said, well, let's do it anyway. [29:21] And I did it. [29:22] And it was actually good. [29:23] For a year, they called me a very intelligent person. [29:25] But then they forget. [29:27] Then I did it again. [29:28] I did, aced it again. [29:29] They report it. [29:30] And these are doctors that I don't even know. [29:32] And they report it. [29:34] And then I did it a third time a few months ago. [29:36] And they reported, but it's very small reporting. [29:40] But can you imagine if I did badly, right? [29:43] Could you imagine that? [29:44] Front row jail, would I be in trouble? [29:46] They'd say, there's something wrong. [29:48] But I like to do it. [29:49] But I gave a perfect, I had a perfect health. [29:55] And they reported his health is perfect. [29:58] And they interpret. [29:59] Think of that. [30:01] One, think of that. [30:03] One hundred percent of the jobs created are in the private sector. [30:09] Now, if I want to make some good numbers, I'll add 300,000 jobs. [30:16] I can do it with one phone call. [30:18] Hire each agency. [30:20] Hire 25,000 people today. [30:22] They hire a country. [30:23] In four years, the last administration secured less than $1 trillion in new investments in our country. [30:30] Think of that, four years less than one. [30:33] Four years, four years, the whole term, less than $1 trillion. [30:38] Gasoline is now substantially lower than $2.50 a gallon. [30:44] And many, many places now are under $2 a gallon. [30:48] Forget. [30:48] 25, 30%, and 50% tariffs to save North Carolina's cherished furniture industry, which has been decimated by China. [31:02] You know, I used to come here a lot for one reason. [31:06] I'd build hotels, and I'd build different buildings, and I'd come here to your furniture area. [31:12] I used to love it. [31:13] Those people were so talented. [31:15] I'd buy so much furniture. [31:18] And that was before politics. [31:19] I did great. [31:20] I was very good at real estate, I would tell you. [31:23] But I used to come to North Carolina to buy furniture for lobbies or furniture for hotels, [31:28] and I was here a lot. [31:30] I mean, you've been decimated, but it's coming back now because I put tariffs on, big tariffs, actually. [31:37] But I remember I'd say to a guy, I like that chair. [31:40] You don't realize what I did. [31:42] I would look at a chair. [31:43] The arm of a chair was very important to me. [31:45] I said, I like that chair, but this arm has to be a different shape. [31:48] And you've got to chisel that side. [31:50] I'm a very aesthetic person, believe me. [31:53] Except with women, I don't care what a woman looks like. [31:56] I used to say beautiful, and now I don't care. [31:58] Since politics, I never mention looks anymore. [32:01] The most beautiful woman can walk right across. [32:04] I don't even look at her anymore because in politics, that's the sign of death. [32:08] We don't look, but I do look at the arm of a chair, and I'd say to your artists, they were artists, they were artisans, you know? [32:21] I'd say, no, no, can you give a different curve? [32:24] Can you do a little more carving at the end? [32:27] They were right in front of me, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. [32:29] They were like geniuses. [32:31] You lost the business. [32:33] It went to China and other places, but mostly to China. [32:37] Because they never put tariffs on, just like they didn't put them on chips, just like they didn't put them on cars. [32:43] You lost 58% of your car industry. [32:45] By the way, it's all coming back. [32:48] Some of it's coming back here. [32:49] It's all coming back. [32:50] Because to bring a car into our country is costing 25% to 50% tariffs now, and they can't do it. [32:59] They can't compete. [33:01] Tariff is, and I won't say it, because I mean, I was talking about Fox. [33:06] I don't know. [33:06] He's talking about corruption. [33:08] No, it's okay, because he's on our side, but he's just a little ahead of me. [33:13] He's talking about corruption. [33:14] I'm talking about Fox, how good the anchors are, right? [33:17] But they are really great. [33:19] They are very good. [33:20] But the pollster's no good, you know? [33:22] He's no good. [33:22] The pollster's terrible. [33:24] But we still get good numbers, but the numbers are actually much better than that. [33:28] But we're joined tonight by Heather Whitley, a bartender and server in Nashville, North Carolina, [33:35] who will save over $5,000 from no tips. [33:40] Think of that. [33:41] From no tax on tips. [33:44] Heather, where are you, Heather? [33:45] Are you here, Heather? [33:48] Where are you? [33:50] Where are you? [33:51] Do you want to come up? [33:54] Do you want to come up? [33:55] Come on up. [33:56] She's going to save over $5,000, no tax on tips, toward a down payment on her first home. [34:03] So, Heather, congratulations. [34:05] Look how amazing she is, right? [34:07] Come on up. [34:08] I don't know how you're going to get up that stair. [34:09] Are you okay? [34:10] Look at her. [34:11] She has no problem. [34:13] Somebody else would not be able to make it. [34:14] Thank you, Heather. [34:16] Want to say something? [34:17] Go ahead. [34:21] Well, it's been a tremendous help. [34:23] It's now allowed me to invest in my first home. [34:27] And that is the American dream for all of us. [34:32] Much to say, sir. [34:33] That is so good. [34:33] Thank you so much. [34:34] You said it perfectly. [34:35] Thank you, Heather. [34:36] Heather, you don't realize you said that so perfectly, because that's what it is. [34:51] You're going to get a home, and you're going to be happy as can be. [34:54] And you are a great person. [34:56] Thank you very much. [34:56] You couldn't have been better. [34:57] Thank you, darling. [35:01] Also with us is Austin Harding, a police officer, highly respected, a loving father from Monroe. [35:09] Austin and his wife are raising a son with autism. [35:17] A beautiful son, beautiful, beautiful person, and are passionate supporters of Maha, and they love Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. [35:26] So do I. [35:27] And with no thank you, Austin. [35:33] And with no tax on overtime, Austin will have thousands of dollars, many thousands of dollars more to help care for his wonderful son. [35:42] Last but not least, we have Carolyn and Charles Thurston, who run a successful small business providing care to senior citizens. [35:50] That's great. [35:50] But not only did we make their small business tax deduction permanent, helping them to expand, but under no tax on overtime, their employees will have much higher take-home pay, and that makes their job a lot easier. [36:05] So, Carolyn and Charles, please stand wherever you may be. [36:09] Oh, that's great. [36:10] Thank you. [36:12] So it's going good? [36:14] Going good? [36:16] Good-looking couple. [36:18] Thank you very much. [36:19] Another key part of our tax cuts is known as Trump accounts. [36:23] You hear about that? [36:24] You put money in, and they are knocking them dead. [36:27] It's great. [36:28] It's Michael Dell, Dell computer. [36:31] He put up $6,250,000,000. [36:33] How do you like that? [36:34] He started with no money, and now he puts $6,000,000,000 plus into the first accounts. [36:41] I mean, think of it. [36:42] $6,000,000. [36:44] It's, to be exact, $6,250,000,000. [36:47] And even the second part is a lot. [36:50] And we've had a lot of great Wall Street titans and a lot of great real estate titans. [36:54] They're all putting money in Trump accounts. [36:55] It's for kids. [36:57] They get a certain age, and they're going to have money. [36:59] It's going to double and triple. [37:01] Hopefully, it'll do well. [37:02] Under this new program, the federal government will be creating an investment savings account [37:10] for every single newborn American child with $1,000 to be invested and grow over the course [37:16] of their life. [37:17] So they'll reach 21 years, and, you know, it could be very good. [37:21] They will consider themselves rich. [37:23] I mean, it's a lot of money, actually. [37:26] Friends, family, employers, and loved ones will be able to add thousands more each year, [37:31] like a trust fund for every American child. [37:34] It's something that people have wanted to do. [37:35] But honestly, I give Mr. and Mrs. Michael Dell. [37:41] Dell can go out and buy a computer from Dell. [37:44] Because I'll tell you what, they really, they love the country. [37:48] Great people. [37:49] Every single Democrat in Congress voted against these incredible benefits. [37:52] Every single Democrat said no, including a guy named Don Davis right here from this district. [37:59] He voted against it. [38:01] That's why you've got to vote against him. [38:05] Don Davis voted against no tax on overtime. [38:08] He voted against no tax on tips, and he voted for the largest tax increase in American history. [38:15] He wanted the largest tax, and he's your congressman. [38:18] So, I don't know if you know him. [38:21] And honestly, I'm good at politics. [38:23] I never even heard of this guy, so. [38:25] He hasn't made a big impact. [38:26] But he voted yes on every single Biden disaster, including massive inflation, open borders, sanctuary cities, and the Green News scam. [38:36] Don Davis betrayed North Carolina. [38:39] Don Davis did nothing about the flood. [38:43] He did nothing about the hurricane. [38:44] I did it all with your congressman and with a couple of Republicans from your state that put their lives on the line to make sure this got done. [38:55] And we had to wait until January 20th. [38:58] They wouldn't do a damn thing. [38:59] People were, the waters didn't recede. [39:03] They were living in areas that didn't have water, and now they were surrounded by water. [39:06] And by the way, Elon Musk with his incredible, you would call it, contraption of communication, incredible. [39:17] I said, Elon, we need 500 of those. [39:22] You couldn't get them because it's been very successful. [39:24] He said, you'll have them tomorrow. [39:26] You've got to give him credit for that, you know. [39:28] I have my little disagreements right there. [39:30] I don't believe in the mandate where everybody has to have an electric vehicle within an hour. [39:40] You know, I don't, but you've got to give him credit. [39:43] He really saved a lot of lives. [39:46] Here tonight are some of the warriors who, unlike Don Davis, who's a disaster vote against him, stood up for North Carolina, including congressmen Tim Moore and Brad Knott. [39:57] Where are you guys? [40:00] Hey, fellas, come up real fast. [40:02] Come on up. [40:03] Come on up. [40:08] I'll tell you, these guys were, look at them, two handsome gentlemen, extremely different types. [40:17] That's great. [40:17] Say hello. [40:19] Say a couple of words. [40:20] I appreciate it. [40:27] Well, everybody, let's tell you this. [40:30] The fight is long. [40:31] It's hard. [40:33] I'm new to this, and I have been amazed at how hard the president is fighting for you. [40:40] So let me just, let me say this simply, and with my whole heart, stay with us. [40:51] We hear you, and we're going to keep fighting for you. [40:54] Thank you so much. [40:54] I guess I'll have to lower the mic, Mr. President. [41:02] Let me just say, echo what Brad said. [41:05] I cannot think of a better president in the history of the United States. [41:10] Someone who loves- [41:10] Great job. [41:23] That's a great- [41:24] Another one who's been incredible. [41:26] Got a lot of energy. [41:28] Director of Federal Housing Finance Agency. [41:31] He's done a phenomenal job. [41:33] Mr. Bill Pulte. [41:34] Bill, thank you very much. [41:37] Thank you, Bill. [41:38] Also, State Senator Phil Berger. [41:44] Phil, thank you. [41:46] Great. [41:48] I mean, look, we did phenomenal. [41:50] It turned out, you know, we won three times. [41:52] Deal. [41:53] And by the way, you have not heard the last. [41:55] Unbelievable warrior. [41:56] And I said, if I do this again, I'm going to get that guy in North Carolina who wouldn't [42:02] let that phony, you know, they tried here, too. [42:05] They couldn't get away with it. [42:06] They tried. [42:07] He's going to be an ally to our great president. [42:11] Not out of here. [42:12] We're focused very strongly on that. [42:15] For the first time, two great people. [42:20] The woman's face, it happened so fast as her murderer walked down. [42:24] The train car dripping with blood all over. [42:27] Passengers are looking at him. [42:28] We just made a record investment in our military and gave every service member a warrior dividend [42:40] of $1,776. [42:44] $1,776. [42:46] And I'm also pleased to announce that just two hours ago, we hit the ISIS thugs in Syria [42:53] who were trying to regroup after records, where people that never lifted a weight, she [43:00] got hit. [43:00] She walked to her corner. [43:01] She said, I've never been hit like that. [43:03] I quit. [43:04] Then they said, no, no, go out. [43:06] You can do it. [43:07] And then he gave her another left jab that was it. [43:09] And she said, nope, I can't do it. [43:11] It's so demeaning to women. [43:14] And they don't stop. [43:15] I saw the other day on one of the shows, I think, Meet the Fake Press. [43:21] I'm pretty sure it was that stupid show. [43:23] And they had a congressman that you all know, a Democrat, saying, no, no, we have to allow [43:30] men to play in women's sports. [43:33] Where do these people come from? [43:34] Or how about open borders? [43:36] They're fighting for open borders. [43:38] If I didn't get elected, our country would be ruined. [43:40] We would have not had a country. [43:42] I'm telling you, I'm not bragging about myself. [43:45] I'm saying we would not have had a country. [43:47] And now we have the greatest country in the world. [43:51] I'm telling you, hottest. [43:53] We're the hottest. [43:55] We're soaring the name of a great president, William McKinley, to Mount McKinley in beautiful [44:00] Alaska. [44:02] They took the name off and they named it something else. [44:10] And I renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of... [44:15] You have draw and then you have draw. [44:21] They looked at both. [44:24] And she's a very meticulous person, you know, like these people. [44:27] Just like she'd fit into your group very well. [44:30] She'd be very happy with her. [44:32] But everything is perfect. [44:35] Her undergarments, sometimes referred to as panties, are folded. [44:43] Perfect. [44:43] Wrapped. [44:44] They're like so perfect. [44:45] I said, that's beautiful. [44:46] You know, it's the part of the world she came from. [44:48] Everything was perfect. [44:49] No problem. [44:51] So in conclusion tonight, after just 11 months, our border is secure. [44:56] Our spirit is restored. [44:58] Inflation has stopped. [44:59] Wages are up. [45:00] Prices are down. [45:01] Our nation is strong. [45:03] And America is back. [45:05] Happy with her. [45:14] But everything is perfect. [45:17] Her undergarments, sometimes referred to as panties, are folded. [45:25] Perfect. [45:26] Wrapped. [45:26] They're like so perfect. [45:28] I said, that's beautiful. [45:29] You know, it's the part of the world she came from. [45:31] Everything was perfect. [45:32] No problem. [45:32] So in conclusion tonight, after just 11 months, our border is secure. [45:38] Our spirit is restored. [45:40] Inflation has stopped. [45:42] Wages are up. [45:42] Prices are down. [45:43] Our nation is strong. [45:45] And America is back. [45:47] And every single day of this administration, we will keep on working for the hardworking [45:57] citizens of America. [46:00] We will fight, fight, fight. [46:01] We will win, win, win. [46:02] And with your help, we will make America powerful again. [46:08] We will make America wealthy again. [46:11] We will make America healthy again. [46:14] We will make America healthy again.
