"Thank you very much. I said do I need a coat? Do I need an overcoat? They said well it's very marginal sir, very marginal. So I said you know I'd rather not wear one. I gotta show I'm all men, we're all men, we're all men, we're women, we're whatever the hell we are. But I know one thing, there's..."

[0:01] Thank you very much. I said do I need a coat? Do I need an overcoat? They said well it's very marginal sir, very marginal. So I said you know I'd rather not wear one. I gotta show I'm all men, we're all men, we're all men, we're women, we're whatever the hell we are. [0:19] But I know one thing, there's only two of us, right? There's not seven of us, there's not six of us. Hello North Carolina, this is great. I hope that you saw the plane fly right over your head. Did anybody notice it? Some people aren't quite with it and they might not have noticed it but we tried to take it as close as we could so hopefully you enjoyed it. [0:49] But I'm thrilled to be back in this beautiful state which I won all three times receiving more votes than any candidate in North Carolina history. Every time, boom, boom, boom and 14 days from now North Carolina is going to defeat pro-crime radical left disaster Governor Roy Cooper and he's a man who's let out murderers and it's like, I don't believe it. [1:20] Michael Dukakis years ago let out one murderer, Willie Horton and he went out to kill three women, rape and kill three women. He was leading by 14 points for president and immediately after that happened he was out of the race. He lost by a landslide because he did it. [1:41] Roy Cooper let out hundreds of some of the worst criminals but 83 or 85 and they killed within a short period of time, 25 people. That's much worse than what took place in Massachusetts. [1:59] Roy Cooper. And I can't believe it. I said, you know what I actually said, I told Michael Watley, he's fantastic. You know, what a lot of people don't know is that we got screwed in 2020. We did great. But you know who, you know who didn't allow it to happen was Michael Watley. We were winning everything. You went to bed, 10 o'clock the race was over. Then all of a sudden Georgia happened and some other things happened. [2:31] other things happened. Pennsylvania happened. You know what didn't happen? North Carolina didn't happen because he had 619 lawyers at every station watching, watching, watching. [2:48] And I got screwed and we all got screwed. But you know what? It made what we're doing now even bigger and more important. And that's good. [2:59] But, but, but, but we can't forget. And I want to just tell you that I said, I'm going to do this again. I said it pretty early, earlier than people would think because I had the ultimate poll. You know what the ultimate poll was? 2020. [3:13] Tim Scott will tell you that. Ted Budd will tell you that. It was 2020. I knew how well we did. Everyone knows. And now it's been proven. But it was the ultimate poll. So I said, I'm going to do it again. But I also said, and if I do it again, I'm going to get this guy, Michael Watley from North Carolina to be the head of the Republican Party, the chairman of the RNC. [3:35] That guy right there, that nice guy, but he's actually a killer. But I don't want to say that it may affect his election. He's a tough cookie. And he was with a person named Laura Trump. Have you ever heard of her? She's an extremely fit young woman. Have you ever seen her exercise? I said, give me a breath. She's so fit. It's ridiculous. I've never seen it. But she's also fit up here. And the two of them were unbelievable. Michael and Laura were unbeatable and we won everything. [4:13] We came back. We won all seven swing states. We won the popular vote by millions. We won counties. 87% of the counties. Think of it. That's why the map is almost entirely red when you look at it. But we won everything. It was an unbelievable election. But I said, Michael, thank you very much. And, you know, I said, Michael, I'd love you to run for the Senate. I'm the one that got him into this. I hope. I hope it works. I hope it works. [4:45] And I did because he's really good. No, I said, I got, if I do this again, I want to get him to be the head of the RNC, the Republican National Committee. [4:54] And he did that with Laura. And they were unbelievable. They were unbelievable. The team we had was so, because we had to make it too big to rig. 2024, too big to rig. [5:04] And he's the one that did it. He is so competent. He is so good. He loves this state. He won't be letting, Michael, do I have your word? [5:15] You will not be allowing 86 or 85 murderers out of jail because we have a new cold virus coming up. [5:25] Or, you know, he let him out because of COVID. This guy, Cooper, let him out, killers, into the families, into the communities. [5:33] And they killed 25 people almost immediately. They were murderers. And he let him out. [5:38] How the hell do you let the, you can't put this guy in the Senate. I have your word. You will not allow killers back into society. [5:49] No, he's a fantastic man. Look, I have to say it. I don't need this. I could have been home doing it. I had to come here. [6:01] They don't know if it's cold or not cold. Look at him. So these are paid protesters. You know that. [6:41] Every, every once in a while, somebody starts shouting one word, two words, and they get whisked right out. [6:48] They go home to their mom, dad, and they get smacked around. They said, I voted for that man. Don't you ever do that again. [6:55] You know the crazy thing? They get paid $250. That's what they get. Here's another one over here. Here's another one over here. [7:04] Losers. Losers. Losers. [7:09] No, they get home and they get smacked in the face by the mother and the father probably, maybe a little harder by the father. [7:31] And they say, we voted for that man. We love that man. You did that. How disgraceful. And the kids are all ashamed. [7:39] But you know the bad part? They actually develop a record. You know, they get brought to a precinct. [7:44] And for the rest of their lives, for 250, they get paid by the radical left lunatics that you watch taking place in France. [7:52] I would say this is a slightly lesser event. So far, we had two little people, very little people. [7:59] Although the last guy was pretty fat, I have to be honest with you. [8:03] But, but, and by the way, do you believe what's going on in France? [8:08] That's never going to go on over here. I promise you that's never going on in here. [8:12] We will stop. We will get Ted Budden. We will say, Ted, let's go. I'll get, I'll get Tim and Ted. I got some group over here. [8:22] But this election, I'm asking you to pretend that I'm on the ballot because when I'm on the ballot, you know, we got the highest vote three times. [8:31] This one, this one, and this, and the highest of all. Too big to rig. And the highest of all. [8:40] And when I'm on the ballot, we do unbelievably, we pick up almost 50, 49%, almost 50%, more people vote. [8:48] And what I'm doing is please pretend I'm on the ballot because in a way I am on the ballot because they want to do away with all of the tremendous things we've done. [8:57] The tax cuts, the border. How about the border? We have the safest border in the history of our country. [9:03] Remember how bad it was? [9:04] So early voting in North Carolina is already underway and will continue through October 31st or Election Day. [9:13] And, you know, November 3rd is the big day. And I look so forward to that evening of election. [9:18] I just think we're going to do great. I just feel it. We have crowds like this in Texas. [9:24] We have overflow crowds with thousands and thousands of people can't get into these arenas. [9:28] And other people show up. They have 50 people, 60 people, 52. The one guy had 52 people. [9:35] And I have 15,000 people. And I'm disappointed. Oh, I thought it would be more. [9:41] You know, we have 25,000, 35,000, 15. [9:47] We were in Montana the other night. We set a record. They've never had a crowd like that. [9:52] They've never seen. In Texas, the same thing. [9:54] You saw the convention booked out, totally booked out. Nobody did that before a mini convention. [10:00] It's been amazing. So we went to Ohio. He's leading. He was losing by a lot. [10:07] A lot of people didn't know he was a great football stud. We have a guy running, but he's a little bit like Michael in that way. [10:13] He was he's a modest person. And he was a football star. And I explained it. It's a long story. [10:20] But I explained it. And John Gruden, the coach, great coach, he came up. [10:26] He said, you know, I'm here for my friend. Who's your friend? Teammate. [10:30] Now, we have an amazing thing. [10:34] Because after I finished with that audience and explained, John said, you know, he is a John is a John used that he is a one of the most incredible football players. [10:46] He's all American. He has 17 is a safety 17 interceptions, a record. He was a vicious tackler. [10:54] He said he'd take your head off. Now, in Ohio, this is very good. Good for North Carolina, too, by the way. [11:01] But it turned out he's a great football star. And he was about 10 points down. [11:07] And I explained it to the people in a huge audience that we had a very, you know, very similar kind of a thing. [11:13] And by the time I finished, they did a poll. He's leading by two. He picked up like 12 or 14 points. [11:19] Did you know that? Did you know that? They said I said, well, when you say he's good, what does that mean? [11:28] Well, he's an all American. He was the best player in the team. And we won the championship. [11:32] And John was a very good quarterback. And he was a great coach and is still a great commentator and coach, John Gruden. [11:41] And he said, yeah, he's a friend of mine. But he was violent on a football team. [11:47] Now, I watched I know him very well. And he always seemed so calm to me. [11:52] And he's a modest guy. And nobody knew this. Some of the people in Ohio knew it because he was they played for Dayton and he was a big star. [12:00] But they changed their view. And it was terrible. You know, the way they asked him to come up and I said, John, come on up and say a few words, if you would just come up. [12:10] So he walks up. And I always thought he was very quiet. He's a lieutenant governor was a really good lieutenant governor. [12:16] But I thought he was very quiet, maybe too quiet for politics. And I said, please come up, John. [12:21] This is after John Gruden told me about him. So he's over here. I'm over here. [12:27] And I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. [12:34] Nothing wrong with it, of course. Nothing. I always proceeded by saying nothing wrong. [12:40] But it's never been my thing, to be honest with you. But I looked at his ass and then I looked at his legs. [12:50] And I said, his ass is like, it's like a pile of muscle. Then I looked at his legs and I said, man, his feet are big. [13:01] Then I looked at his shoulders and I tapped him on the shoulder and it actually hurt my hand. [13:08] It was like a piece of steel. And he said, this guy's a monster. [13:11] And John Gruden told me that. He was a violent tackler or this, that. [13:17] But he never talked about it. He was an all-American football player. [13:20] And by the time I finished with that story, he went from being 10 points down to being 2 points today. [13:27] A poll came out. He's 2 points up. He's fantastic. [13:34] And I think, and he's also become very much more dynamic. [13:39] He's, today he was screaming, we will win. [13:42] I said, where the hell did this guy come from? It's like he plays football. [13:45] So, Tim, you saw what happened. The polls have him up in Ohio. [13:51] He's up in Texas. He's up. He's up in, you know, what happened? [13:57] I went to Montana. We had a record crowd. They're doing phenomenally up. [14:02] They're up all, I went, I flew to Alaska. It's a long flight. [14:07] And we have a man named Dan Sullivan, the Democrats, they put somebody else named Dan Sullivan. [14:13] So I have two Dan Sullivans on the ticket. [14:15] We, of course, go to the court. And, of course, the court essentially rules against us. [14:20] So we have a Dan Sullivan and a Dan Sullivan and a Democrat. [14:28] Now, do you think that's fair? And the guy never was political. [14:32] He was never, he never voted before. [14:34] But he said, no, I wanted to run. He never voted before. [14:37] He never went to a meeting, never went. [14:38] He just doesn't happen to be a political person, but he has the right name. [14:42] So they put him in. And he said, you know, it's ours is Daniel S. [14:47] He was, I think, Daniel J. That was the only difference. [14:50] So he said, no, no, I'm not a political person. [14:53] I really don't know. It's just a coincidence that we have the same name. [14:56] Oh, okay. So we go to court. We finish the court. [14:59] And he goes down and tries to change his middle initial to Daniel S., the same as our guy. [15:05] But he's not political at all. He didn't do this. [15:07] But he wasn't political. It was the Democrats that did it. [15:10] And he ended up getting two and a half points. That's a lot. [15:13] That's a lot in the early stage. Now they're going into the final stage. [15:17] And he's allowed to be on the ballot. [15:19] And we said he shouldn't be allowed to be on the ballot. [15:22] And it's disgusting. And yet Dan Sullivan, the real Dan, I call him the real Dan Sullivan, [15:27] is up very nicely now. I mean, it's pretty amazing. It's pretty amazing. [15:32] And we have others that are leading also. So I don't know, things are happening to me. [15:39] Look at the crowds. I mean, we're having crowds that nobody's ever seen. [15:43] And for a midterm election, nobody's ever seen anything like it. [15:46] For some reason, for some reason, a sitting president, Republican or Democrat, a sitting president, [15:57] I don't know why I'm going to have Tim Scott maybe try and explain it to me later. [16:02] Or maybe we'll just talk about another subject because it doesn't matter. [16:07] But for some reason, a sitting president, a great one or a horrible one? [16:12] We haven't had too many great ones. Thank you. Thank you. [16:21] No, I was actually waiting for that. [16:25] He was like, I was waiting. I was hoping somebody was, because I was going to say it myself if nobody said it. [16:31] No, but for some reason, so out of 25 races every two years, they've won two. [16:39] I don't understand it. Is it some kind of a block? [16:44] I don't understand how it's possible. [16:46] A good president tends not to win. I don't, there's no reason for it. [16:51] You know, people have said deep down psychologically. [16:54] So we're going to try and change it. [16:56] Now, I'm doing something different. I'm working like a dog. [16:59] And I love being with you because in the other ones, you know, the other ones, when I ran, it was great because we got 50%, almost 50% more votes. [17:14] And we won everything. We won all the, we won the Senate. We won everything. [17:17] But when I wasn't running, I didn't really campaign. I let other people campaign. I figured that's it. [17:24] What did I know? I hadn't been doing this that long, right? [17:26] But this time, so I've done like about 10 rallies in about eight days. [17:33] And now I'm scheduled to do, I think I'm even scheduled to come back here in another week. [17:40] I come back here for my man. [17:45] But so we have like 15 days and I'm doing about 18 rallies. [17:51] That's work. That's work. [17:54] But it's not work in front of North Carolina. [17:56] You know, a friend of mine said, how do you do that? [17:58] How do you speak in front of so many? Look at all the, oh, wow. [18:02] That's a lot of fake news. Look at that. [18:04] You just have to blot them out, right, Ted? [18:08] No, you have to, that is a lot of, that's a lot of fake news up there. [18:12] But a friend of mine, fake news, fake news, fake polls are all fake. [18:23] But I've been fighting pollsters, although I've had some great polls. [18:27] I have some great polls. [18:29] But before I go any further, I have to do one thing. [18:32] We have a group of ladies that have been following me for years. [18:39] And they come from, they're finally in their, they're finally in their own state. [18:44] They've been following me for years. [18:47] They're stalkers. They're stalking me. [18:50] They're beautiful women. [18:51] They come from North Carolina. [18:53] They follow me to California. [18:55] They follow me to Texas. [18:56] They were, I believe this is like number 311. [19:00] Can you believe it? Number 311. [19:03] And they are, they're beautiful women, but you're not allowed to say that politically anymore. [19:08] You know, if you say a woman is beautiful, that's the end of your political career. [19:11] So please, if you would forgive me, would you forgive me for saying you're beautiful? [19:15] So, please, I apologize. [19:21] No, this is how screwed up things. [19:22] If you say a woman is a beautiful woman, please apologize immediately, Caruso. [19:27] But these women have been with me for, like, from the beginning. [19:33] And they love me and I love them. [19:36] They're just incredible people. [19:37] And they come from, look at them. [19:41] And they're all, it's so nice to be finally, finally I'm in their state. [19:46] And, you know, I see them in Ohio. [19:49] I see them, and they're finally, but they, we love them. [19:53] They're very special people. [19:54] And they, they basically love our country and they want to see our country do well. [19:58] You can tell by the way they're coiffed, you know, the coiff. [20:02] You can see by the way they're dressed and their whole demeanor. [20:05] I mean, these are very, very, very, very, very substantial people. [20:09] They have, I don't know what the hell their husbands are all about, [20:13] because are your husbands with you tonight, I hope? [20:16] You know, last time their husbands were with them, I couldn't believe it. [20:19] Their husbands, their husbands are very proud of them. [20:23] And they love their husbands, but they follow us because they love our country. [20:28] And I'm so happy to have them now in North Carolina, where they come from. [20:32] Thank you. [20:36] It's so much nicer than when they have to travel distances. [20:39] But, and I also have my Front Row Joes. [20:42] My Front Row Joes are so incredible. [20:44] And a man who's very special, Mr. Wall, please stand up. [20:48] He's, okay, now he looks a little cool. [20:57] One day I'm going to get it. [20:58] One day I'm going to wear the wall suit. [21:01] But he's come to about, I think, 612 or something. [21:06] A lot. [21:07] And yet he's a brilliant guy. [21:08] He makes a lot of, I said, where the hell does that guy come from? [21:11] He's a very successful guy, makes a lot of money. [21:15] I watched you doing an interview the other day. [21:18] They had you online, and you are very well spoken. [21:21] You could be doing this if you want, but I appreciate it. [21:23] You've been such a loyal person, and I appreciate it. [21:26] Great. [21:26] And, you know, by wearing that, he's really representing something that I did. [21:32] I built 2,000 miles of wall, and we have the greatest border we've ever had. [21:38] So, so thank you. [21:42] It's really, you remind me of the wall every time, and I'm very proud of the wall. [21:46] We had a, I used the military because we couldn't get the money from Congress. [21:51] And I said, no, that's all right. [21:53] I just gave them a trillion dollars. [21:55] I'm going to take it out of the military. [21:56] I'll buy a couple of less arms. [22:00] 2,000 miles of wall built, and we have the safest border in the history of our country by far. [22:06] And I'll tell you something. [22:12] Ted Budd, Tim Scott, the group of people, our Congress people that are in the front row. [22:20] Paul, thank you very much. [22:21] Paul is the head of Border Patrol. [22:23] How good, how good was Trump on the border? [22:26] Was Trump good? [22:27] Huh? [22:28] Slightly better than Kamala. [22:30] Remember when Kamala, she was made the border czar by sleepy Joe Biden. [22:35] And, and they asked the head of the border, he's right there. [22:40] They asked, they asked Paul, they said, Paul, how many times did she call during the four-year period? [22:46] He said, none. [22:48] How many trips did she make to the border? [22:50] None. [22:51] How many people came in through the border during the Biden administration? [22:56] 25 million at least, right? [23:00] Boy, that must have driven you crazy. [23:02] Can you imagine? [23:03] 25 million people come in. [23:04] He's standing there once or two. [23:06] It's a terrible thing. [23:07] And you know how many people came through during the last 17 months of the Trump administration? [23:14] Zero, right? [23:17] Zero. [23:20] Zero. [23:24] Thank you, Paul. [23:26] What a great guy. [23:27] But Roy Cooper is a disgrace to this state. [23:30] He betrayed his highest and most sacred duty as your governor to keep North Carolina safe. [23:38] And I'll tell you what, I read more stuff about North Carolina in the last few years from him to current. [23:47] It's not the same. [23:49] It was, we had a great safe, I mean, you read about all the killings. [23:54] Cooper, listen, I mean, these are just numbers. [23:56] He released, this guy should not be allowed to be a senator. [24:01] He shouldn't be allowed to be. [24:04] So Cooper, Cooper released, I didn't even know, I got the rest of the numbers tonight. [24:10] I knew about the killings, 25 killings immediately. [24:14] Cooper released over 3,500 convicted high-line criminals, including 86 convicted murderers, [24:23] 232 convicted rapists and child predators at levels that nobody's sure what the number is, [24:32] but it's in the hundreds, and 934 violent and dangerous felons, all because he didn't [24:41] want them to catch COVID while in jail. [24:45] And these are not the, these are not the guys that catch COVID, to be honest with you. [24:51] They're probably sort of healthy, young, they were young killers. [24:54] In other words, Cooper conducted a massive jailbreak and put your lives at risk. [25:00] He's just a liberal schmuck. [25:03] He really is. [25:05] You can't have him, you can't have him go to Washington if you want a, he's a super liberal [25:11] sociopath. [25:12] Who, who would do this? [25:14] He's a super liberal fool. [25:17] I think a fool, because a senator who cares more about shielding murderers from a cough [25:25] or a virus or something that will not, I mean, for the most part, these killers were young. [25:32] And instead of protecting innocent citizens from bloodthirsty killers, then Roy Cooper is [25:38] the Democrat. [25:39] And I use that new term. [25:41] It's a new term. [25:42] It took me years to figure it out. [25:43] I don't know what took me so long. [25:45] I've had so many, Pocahontas was good, and fake news was, I had many, many good, and this [25:51] one, it came to me about two months ago. [25:53] I said, their policy is so bad. [25:55] It's so stupid. [25:56] It's so dumb. [25:58] You take the E out, you replace it with a U. And most people don't know that dumb has [26:04] a B. [26:05] So we throw that out, too. [26:07] And they're Democrats. [26:09] They're Democrats. [26:10] But if you want a man who defends the law-abiding people of North Carolina, you have to vote [26:15] for Michael Watley. [26:16] He's so solid, you've got to vote for him. [26:22] So think of it, all these people he released, because he didn't want them to catch a virus. [26:27] Think of that. [26:28] Oops, is that another one? [26:29] No, I think that person's on ICERN. [26:32] It's a person. [26:34] No, that person's on ICERN. [26:35] You know, these people are crazy. [26:56] They're crazy. [26:57] These people, look at that guy, he's a nut job. [27:00] Boy, these people, honestly, these people are crazy. [27:08] There's something wrong with them. [27:11] You know, that's what you witness over the last three, four days. [27:14] You watch nut jobs like him in France ruining their country. [27:18] We're not going to put up with it, by the way. [27:20] I hope you don't, if a possible threat, which could happen, I hope you won't get angry [27:27] if I treat them very, very rough, because that's what's going to happen. [27:31] They're not going to destroy it. [27:32] They're not going to destroy our country. [27:36] They're not going to destroy our country. [27:40] So Roy Cooper also released the dangerous monster, DeCarlos Brown Jr. [27:45] Jr. [27:46] What do we need Jr. for? [27:48] Like he's some kind of a, that's his name, DeCarlos Brown Jr., violent and deranged animal [27:56] with 14 prior very, very serious and dangerous arrests. [28:02] Last year, DeCarlos Brown was on a train when he saw a beautiful 23-year-old, very frightened [28:10] girl. [28:10] Because when you watch that tape, you've all seen it a hundred times, unfortunately. [28:14] It's hard to watch. [28:15] Oh, and if you watch it to the end, which nobody should see, you wouldn't believe it. [28:20] But you could see how frightened she was just to be there. [28:24] Irina Zaretska sitting in front of him. [28:27] She sat in front of him and she probably knew she was in trouble, but she sat down unprovoked [28:35] to Carlos Brown, big, strong guy, stood up and violently slashed her neck, almost cut [28:44] her head right off, slashed it violently and viciously. [28:48] For those of the people that are able to handle that kind of stuff, you know exactly what I'm [28:54] talking about, very rarely do you see it run beyond the actual almost hit. [29:01] If you did, you wouldn't see anything like it. [29:03] You probably, in many cases, you wouldn't be the same. [29:07] Her head was barely attached and she looked up in that final just second of her life and [29:12] she said to herself, oh God, what happened to me? [29:16] Oh God. [29:18] And she knew she was dead. [29:20] She knew it. [29:21] She literally probably lived seconds, just a second. [29:24] She knew it happened. [29:25] The slash was inches deep. [29:30] She was in trouble. [29:31] She walked onto the train because she didn't want to, I don't know what it was. [29:37] I mean, you could see how scared she was. [29:39] And the only reason that the brutal monster was roaming free to kill Irina and probably [29:46] other people, because now they're saying probably other people too, is because Roy Cooper released [29:52] him from jail, released him. [29:54] And it's a betrayal that can never, ever be forgotten. [29:59] And to this day, nobody knows why and he doesn't talk about it. [30:05] And so, you know, there was a governor of Massachusetts years ago, not that long ago, but years ago. [30:15] And he was running and he released a man named Willie Horton. [30:22] And Willie Horton got out and killed, raped and killed women in very rapid succession. [30:29] And this man's name was Michael Dukakis. [30:32] And he was the governor of Massachusetts. [30:36] And he was leading by 15 points to be the president of the United States. [30:41] And he released earlier, six months earlier, Willie Horton. [30:49] And Willie Horton was brought immediately back and I believe executed. [30:53] But nobody knew about it. [30:56] Nobody knew that he released him, you know, that then it was a murder, three murders. [31:00] They brought him back. [31:02] They put him in jail. [31:03] And it came out during the campaign. [31:06] Michael Dukakis was an easy winner. [31:09] He was going to win very easily. [31:10] And then they showed the crime. [31:13] They showed what happened. [31:14] They showed what he did. [31:15] And he lost literally in a landslide. [31:19] He dropped 25 points. [31:21] You have a guy that's done worse. [31:23] He released 3,500 people, but he released 85 or 83 murderers, people that were some in solitary confinement. [31:39] And out of the 85, 25 people were let out and almost immediately killed. [31:48] They almost killed. [31:50] Almost to me, I think of it, they killed 25 people. [31:54] And the media won't talk about it. [31:57] They won't talk about it. [31:59] If this were a Republican, the media would be all over it and the guy wouldn't have a chance. [32:05] This is far worse than Willie Horton and Michael Dukakis. [32:09] This is a violation. [32:10] And any man that would release thousands of people from prison, and these are some of the most violent places. [32:20] These are real rough ones. [32:21] He released them into our society, and he's going to become your senator, and it's crazy. [32:28] You have a man right here, and I mention John Husted because he's a humble guy. [32:36] That's why he didn't tell people that only the real football aficionados knew that he was a great player. [32:44] He didn't talk about it. [32:45] You know who's another one that doesn't talk about how great he is? [32:48] It's Tim Scott. [32:50] He was strong. [32:52] Tim Scott's great. [32:57] You know, when Tim Scott, he ran for president, he did well, but frankly, I tell him all the time. [33:03] I said, I used him every once in a while at the beginning, and then I said, Tim, do it all the time. [33:10] He was obviously a good candidate, but he couldn't talk about himself the way he could talk about me. [33:18] It was amazing. [33:19] I told Tim this. [33:20] I tell him, you know, I think it's a beautiful thing. [33:24] He said, it's hard for me to brag about myself, but I can brag about other people if I respect him and like him. [33:30] He was brutal. [33:31] When he went on, he would beat anybody in the debates. [33:35] He would, when the first time he did, because he was fine. [33:38] He was doing fine as a candidate, and they said, sir, we have a surrogate going on television for you today who Tim Scott. [33:46] I said, well, he's a nice guy, and he went on. [33:49] He brutalized me. [33:50] He was brutal. [33:51] You are not that nice a guy, Tim. [33:53] And I saw him once. [33:55] Then I started saying, what about using Tim Scott today? [34:00] I mean, he was unbelievable because he's a humble guy. [34:05] He can't talk about himself the way he can talk about selling. [34:07] And he said that. [34:09] He said, it's hard for me to brag about myself. [34:11] He doesn't feel comfortable. [34:13] He'd bring up his mother all the time. [34:15] I love that. [34:16] I wish I could have brought up my mother. [34:18] I had a great mother. [34:19] But he did. [34:20] But he was so talented, so great, and I just appreciate it. [34:25] You really helped me a lot. [34:26] I appreciate it, Tim. [34:27] But he's a humble guy. [34:29] And Michael Watley is similar. [34:34] He's a humble guy. [34:35] And I just don't know if he's got ... He is one of the most competent people I've ever dealt with. [34:42] I mean, I told you, I said, if I do it again, I'm going to choose Michael Watley to head the whole Republican Party. [34:49] And that's what he did, along with Laura. [34:53] And Laura will tell you the same thing. [34:55] She said, I mean, you know, she's now like the television star. [34:59] She wants to come out. [35:00] Fox won't let her come out. [35:02] It's crazy. [35:03] But, you know, I understand that. [35:04] She wants to be here so badly with you, you have no idea. [35:08] If you're on television, it's a little hard to be campaigning for somebody, I guess. [35:12] And I understand that very well. [35:13] She wants to help you so much. [35:15] She loves you. [35:16] She said he's one of the most competent people. [35:18] And he's strong, and he's going to fight for you. [35:21] And I just came here to tell you that. [35:23] I mean, I came to tell you that, and I came to tell you that Roy Cooper, Roy Cooper is a fool. [35:31] Roy Cooper is a liberal, you know. [35:34] I'm going to bring an old word back because they don't use it now. [35:37] They say progressive. [35:38] Progressive is a beautiful word. [35:41] Progressive is a beautiful word. [35:43] Progressive. [35:43] But he's a liberal fool who let all these thousands and thousands of people out, [35:49] and they went on a crime spree. [35:50] And by the way, those are just the 25 people that he killed. [35:53] But they also went on a crime spree. [35:56] 4,000 people were let, and they went on a crime spree that lasted for years in North Carolina. [36:02] So I just want to tell you that in this election, the citizens of North Carolina need to summon [36:08] every natural protective instinct you have. [36:11] And you have to defeat this guy because his vote will be a disaster. [36:16] We have the greatest, this is the golden age of America. [36:20] And with a couple of votes, with a couple of votes, you know, you're talking about close. [36:29] And with a couple of votes, we can lose all the tax credits, all the tax abatements and tax cuts, [36:35] all of the job regulations. [36:38] You know, we have more people working today in the United States at any time in the history of our country. [36:44] And the income levels are bad. [36:46] And by the way, as soon as the war ends, you know, we beat the hell out of Iran. [36:50] And as soon as the war ends, and it'll end one way or the other very quickly, oil is going to drop like a rock. [36:57] But they're trying to, you know, what they want to do, it's a dream to keep it going a little bit past the election. [37:03] Well, it'll end really very fast. [37:06] And when it ends, the oil is going to get down to where I had it. [37:09] I had it down to $1.85 a gallon. [37:12] And I'll have it down to that number. [37:14] If not, if that was in Iowa, I was making a speech in Iowa. [37:18] And unlike Joe Biden and others, I look at the top of the pumps and I say, let me see. [37:23] And I passed two stations. [37:24] One was $1.95 a gallon. [37:27] The other was $1.85 in Iowa. [37:29] On the way back, on the way there, I always look, I'm like, I'm looking at gas pumps about that. [37:35] But we should be looking at it. [37:36] That's what we should be doing. [37:38] And I have to say, this is a very small price to pay for keeping a nuclear weapon away from the world's number one state sponsor of terror. [37:50] It's killed many, many people. [37:52] You know, they killed 75,000 protesters. [37:56] They killed 75,000 protesters. [37:59] That's why they don't have protests. [38:01] Who's going to protest? [38:01] They have guns. [38:02] They shoot them down. [38:03] They use snipers and they use machine guns. [38:05] And it's terrible. [38:08] Very, very nasty. [38:10] But we've wiped out their Navy. [38:12] We've wiped out their Air Force. [38:34] They're so sad, you know. [38:37] But don't hurt them. [38:39] You know, I always say, don't hurt them. [38:40] Because at one of the rallies, early on, when I was learning to trade, you know, I hadn't done it too long. [38:46] I actually haven't done this too long to be where we are. [38:48] Think of it. [38:49] So we won four years, then we won another four years, and now we won another four years, you know. [38:54] But I haven't done it. [38:57] But I stayed a long time ago. [39:00] Of course, I would never do that today. [39:02] I said, if you want, beat the hell out of them. [39:04] That was not a good thing because that's what happened. [39:06] So I don't say that anymore. [39:08] Today I say, please don't hurt them. [39:09] This way the press can't get me. [39:11] They say, oh, that was very nice. [39:14] I say, please, it's very important that you not hurt the young gentleman. [39:19] See, there's a lot of love in my heart. [39:21] That's why we're doing so well. [39:23] Don't hurt that guy. [39:24] Don't hurt him. [39:25] Don't hurt him. [39:26] Don't hurt him. [39:28] One of the other criminals Cooper set loose in North Carolina was Jimmy Spate, a serial burglar, convicted child rapist, murderer. [39:42] Just one month after being released, he gunned down a man here in Greenville, and he left his mangled dead body on the street. [39:52] Cooper also released Calvin Locklear, who was a known monster in jail, even. [40:00] Even the prisoners were afraid of him. [40:02] He was in jail for brutalizing a woman, really badly, badly brutalizing her. [40:06] Less than one month after Cooper released him, he shot a 17-year-old girl through the head, broke into her house, and killed her father, who was screaming that, [40:17] you killed my daughter, you killed my daughter, and then he shot the father through the face. [40:22] This is a man that Cooper let out. [40:25] More than 2,000 convicts Cooper released have been rearrested for committing other heinous crimes. [40:32] Some of them murder, 99 brutal, vicious, violent, never-to-be-forgotten rapes, 617 violent and bloody assaults, and at least 25 murders. [40:48] So he let out people that murdered 25, at least. [40:52] Those are just the murders we know about. [40:55] In fact, I have a video of this, please. [40:59] Now to a disturbing crime on a commuter train in North Carolina. [41:02] The brutal murder of a Ukrainian refugee has raised questions about why the suspect was not behind bars. [41:09] Why was he out on the street? [41:10] Why was this person free? [41:11] Why was he free to roam the streets? [41:16] Today I signed executive order to establish the North Carolina Task Force for Racial Equity and Criminal Justice. [41:23] Thousands of inmates will be released early. [41:25] 3,500 inmates. [41:26] 3,500 inmates. [41:28] Governor Cooper's administration saying that they'll fast-track the early release of 3,500 prisoners. [41:33] It involves a free trial release, fees and fines. [41:37] He's got 14 arrests. [41:39] The judge released him without bail in January. [41:41] But the question is, which prisoners? [41:44] Prisoners who have committed violent crimes are a part of that conversation. [41:48] The task force is just the beginning, and I'm committed to making sure we see real progress. [41:52] And that's just the least of it. [42:01] No, it's crazy. [42:03] You're going to send him to Washington to represent you? [42:06] So Roy Cooper. [42:07] And, again, the press, look at him. [42:10] All those press, they're not going to put this on because if anybody is like Dukakis, one guy, and he dropped 24 points in a matter of a day, two days. [42:22] He's leading by 15 points, and he was losing by, like, 10 in one day. [42:30] And Cooper is much worse than Dukakis, much worse. [42:33] He's not even close. [42:35] And he's got this image. [42:37] And, by the way, you know, I was here when you had the hurricane. [42:42] We call it a watercane. [42:43] It was the most – there's never been a hurricane that anybody's seen that threw out more water than that. [42:51] And your governor was terrible. [42:53] He was terrible. [42:54] He did a horrible job. [42:56] He did a horrible, horrible job. [42:59] And I came here – Mike, you remember, I wasn't president. [43:03] I came here, and I said, look, I can only – I can only help you after January 20th. [43:08] He was doing nothing. [43:10] Your state was dying. [43:12] Your state was dying. [43:13] That hurricane – and you know who was great? [43:15] Elon, because he had Starlink. [43:18] He had Starlink, and you literally had so much water coming. [43:28] It was a record-setting amount of water for a hurricane. [44:00] No, that's okay. [44:01] Don't worry. [44:03] It's not worth it. [44:04] They pay him $250. [44:06] Can you believe it? [44:07] It's not worth it. [44:08] That poor, poor person. [44:10] What a life that person's going to have. [44:12] What a – just a – it's so stupid to be doing it. [44:16] But think of it. [44:17] So this was a water hurricane. [44:20] You would think Florida. [44:21] You would think Texas. [44:23] You would think – more water hit your land than at any point – did you know that, Tim? [44:27] Did – more – well, Ted, you heard that. [44:30] This was a hurricane that had more water. [44:34] And places that never had much water literally were shut off from land. [44:39] It was like an ocean was in front of them. [44:41] You couldn't get to them. [44:42] And I remember our great congressman. [44:46] We had great congressmen. [44:47] They were the ones that were dealing with me. [44:48] They said, is there any way you could get to Elon Musk? [44:52] They actually said, do you know him? [44:53] I said, yeah, I don't. [44:55] He's a character, I'll tell you. [44:56] He's great, though. [44:57] I said, 80 percent super genius. [45:01] 20 percent – I have to think about that. [45:03] But he's actually a great guy. [45:05] He's an incredible guy, actually. [45:07] Got an award. [45:09] The same award my uncle got. [45:11] Many years my uncle got a great – my uncle was at MIT. [45:14] For 51 years, he was a great professor. [45:17] I think they say he was the greatest professor in the history of MIT. [45:20] And my uncle got the great science award from Ronald Reagan many years ago. [45:26] And to think – I now gave it to Elon and some other incredible people. [45:31] Incredible people. [45:33] And Jensen got one, you know. [45:36] And Sergey got one. [45:37] We had some just great, great people. [45:41] And they asked Elon what it be, and Elon didn't know too much about it. [45:46] I called him. [45:47] I said, Elon, you got people in trouble. [45:48] They have no communication, and they're like on islands, and nobody can get to them. [45:54] It's a disaster. [45:55] I've never seen anything like it. [45:56] I was here. [45:58] And he said, what do you need? [45:59] And I just said, give me the max. [46:03] They gave me a number, and Michael gave me – remember, you gave me that very high number. [46:07] I said, that's a lot of equipment for somebody that – and it was very hard to get. [46:12] It's very successful, very hard to get. [46:14] And within five hours, we had so much equipment. [46:19] He saved – Elon saved a lot of lives. [46:21] You all did. [46:22] You saved a lot of lives. [46:23] Your governor didn't do a damn thing. [46:28] Your governor didn't – your governor didn't do a thing. [46:31] Your governor didn't do a thing. [46:32] Because all the power lines were down. [46:34] Everyone was down. [46:34] Nobody knew what was – it was a disaster. [46:36] I've never seen anything like it. [46:38] I've been to some bad ones. [46:39] This was one of the worst. [46:41] Roy Cooper did nothing. [46:42] And the only way it got fixed is when I became president on January 20th. [46:49] That's when it started to take shape, and we did a great job. [46:52] And we're still fixing some of it. [46:54] The damage is so severe. [46:57] But it took place on – January 20th is when it started. [47:01] Roy Cooper did nothing, and now he wants to run. [47:03] Less than two years ago, the radical-left Democrats handed us the Dark Age of America, [47:10] but we quickly turned it into the Golden Age. [47:12] This is the Golden Age of America. [47:14] And our nation is doing better now than ever before. [47:20] But the fake news media refuses to talk about our record-setting numbers. [47:25] So if you don't mind, I will do it myself. [47:27] If I don't do it, who's going to do it? [47:29] It was just announced, just came out, that under Republican leadership, [47:36] incomes for hard-working Americans have soared to the highest level ever recorded. [47:44] Ever recorded. [47:47] Think of that, Ted. [47:49] These are pretty good stats. [47:51] Think of that. [47:52] Highest level ever recorded. [47:55] Look at this one. [47:56] More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country. [48:02] Look at those two. [48:03] And number three, the poverty rate has just reached its lowest level. [48:12] That means the best it's ever been in American history. [48:16] So think of it. [48:22] Think of it. [48:23] You have more Americans working by massive numbers than ever before. [48:28] And this is nothing compared to when all those factories that are opening. [48:32] We have $22.2 trillion building factories all over the country, [48:37] more than we've ever done, car plants, everyone's moving in. [48:40] We went 49 years without one car plant being built. [48:43] They were closing. [48:44] And now we're building more car plants than at any time in history. [48:47] But just think of it. [48:48] But think of those two. [48:50] We have more people working than at any time in history. [48:54] The income level for people is the highest it's ever been by far. [48:58] And the poverty, the people, sadly, in poverty, still are at the best level they've ever been. [49:06] So with that, I don't think I have to stand no longer. [49:08] I'm going to just say, I'm going to say goodbye. [49:11] Please vote for Michael Watley. [49:14] Thank you very much. [49:18] I'm all. [49:18] I'm all. [49:21] You know, Secret Service hates when I do that. [49:25] No, Secret. [49:26] No. [49:29] I did that once, like two days ago. [49:41] And the whole thing, the Secret Service is running. [49:43] They weren't prepared. [49:45] They thought it was going to go on for another half hour. [49:48] No, but think of that. [49:49] So you have the best employment numbers ever. [49:54] You have the best border numbers ever, which is nobody comes into our country. [49:58] You have the best income numbers ever. [50:02] You have the best poverty numbers ever. [50:05] You have every number is the best. [50:06] African-American poverty, Hispanic-American poverty, Native American poverty, Asian-American poverty rates [50:15] are all their lowest levels, meaning the best levels ever recorded. [50:21] Think of that. [50:23] And here in North Carolina, I hope the Lumbee tribe, which was very good to me, actually, [50:31] but I was, honestly, I was better to them because signing the Lumbee Fairness Act into law, [50:41] we did something that I said for a number of years, we were going to get it done. [50:46] And we took care of the Lumbee, I love the name Lumbee, and the Indians, and they were, [50:53] I think they very much appreciate it. [50:56] I hope they do. [50:57] But less than, less than two years ago, and this is said, and this was said by almost every leader [51:04] all over the world, I know almost all of them, less than two years ago, our country was dead. [51:12] King of Saudi Arabia said it to me, others said it to me. [51:15] They said, Mr. President, we thought your country was dead, and now you have the hottest country anywhere [51:21] in the world, they say that, too. [51:23] We have the hottest country. [51:28] And I will say it happened a lot quicker. [51:30] I was very confident we could do this, but I didn't know I'd do it. [51:33] This is substantially less than two years. [51:36] You know, two years will be January 20th. [51:39] This is substantially less than two years. [51:41] So in four long years of crooked Joe Biden and the Biden administration, [51:47] I would say, I would say the worst president in the history of our country. [51:56] Not that I want to say it. [52:00] I can say this. [52:01] Jimmy Carter, I went to his funeral, he died a happy man, [52:05] because compared to Joe Biden, he was a brilliant, brilliant president. [52:13] Compared to Joe, Sleepy Joe, he was one of the greatest presidents ever. [52:18] Jimmy died a happy man. [52:20] But think of it, Joe Biden, they got much less in four years [52:26] than $1 trillion of new investment into the United States. [52:30] Much less, about half. [52:32] So less than a trillion. [52:34] And we have $22.2 trillion in, it's actually recorded up to 15 months. [52:41] So in 15 months, we have 22. [52:44] So we have $22 trillion in 15 months. [52:48] They had a half a trillion in four years. [52:54] You got to think about that. [52:56] And what that is, is all, it's tariffs, [52:58] because they don't want to pay the tariffs. [53:00] So they're great. [53:01] I tell you, it's my favorite word of all time, [53:03] but I now make it my fifth because I got killed by the press. [53:06] I said, the word tariff, it's made us wealthy. [53:09] Just so you know, we're a very wealthy country again now. [53:11] We're respected by, because of tariffs, but, and properly used. [53:14] But I say it, and I say it, I said my favorite word of all time, [53:20] and the press was killing me. [53:22] They said, what about God? [53:24] What about wife, family, son, daughter, relationship? [53:31] So I made tariff my fifth favorite word, and now I'm, now I'm okay. [53:37] Now I get away with that. [53:38] It's my fifth favorite word of all time. [53:41] But here in North Carolina, Jet Zero recently announced, just now, [53:46] the largest jobs announcement, actually, in North Carolina history. [53:51] $4.7 billion, creating more than 15,000 jobs. [53:56] It's just happened. [54:00] And from the medical industry, remember, during COVID, [54:04] everything was made in China. [54:06] Everything was all made in China. [54:09] It was made in Ireland. [54:10] It was made in the UK. [54:11] We didn't make medicine. [54:13] I watched that. [54:13] I didn't like that. [54:14] But Johnson & Johnson, Biogen, Merck, Genentech, AbbVie, [54:20] and others are pouring more than $10 billion into North Carolina, [54:25] building brand-new plants and making our pharmaceuticals, [54:30] making pretty much everything we need. [54:34] And tonight, I have breaking news for you. [54:37] Would you like some breaking news? [54:38] Yeah. [54:40] So I've just been informed by Howard Lutnick, [54:43] our great Secretary of Commerce. [54:45] Where's Howard? [54:47] We're looking at him. [54:48] Do you want to announce it, Howard? [54:52] Do you want to announce it? [54:53] Do you want to come up here, Howard? [54:57] Howard was a great businessman. [54:59] He built an unbelievable Wall Street firm twice. [55:04] You know, his firm was in the World Trade Center when it got knocked down. [55:08] Everybody was skilled at his firm. [55:10] Canter Fitzgerald, his brother was there. [55:13] Howard was probably maybe the only time ever that you weren't in there. [55:19] You know, he gets to work at 5 in the morning. [55:20] These Wall Street guys, they do that. [55:23] And for his whole life, he would be in the office from 5 to 6 o'clock early in the morning, [55:29] and he would build up this great company called Cantor Fitzgerald. [55:33] And his wife is incredible and great children. [55:38] And the children are young. [55:39] And the wife was angry at him for not ever taking the child to school. [55:44] Can you believe this? [55:46] Young child. [55:47] That was at that time very young. [55:49] Now they're grown children, beautiful children. [55:51] But Howard was being hit pretty hard by a very strong but beautiful woman. [55:58] She's strong and beautiful. [56:00] That's a deadly combination, actually. [56:02] And why aren't you, you never, for years, you don't take, please take our boy to school. [56:09] And Howard finally decided to take the boy to school, and it was on the morning that the [56:16] Trade Center was hit. [56:17] Can you imagine? [56:18] So he brought the, his son to school, dropped him off, spent a little time, got in the car, [56:26] rode down the West Side Highway, and he saw the plane hit the first tower and then ultimately [56:32] the second tower. [56:34] And it's the first time outside of being in another country for business where he is [56:39] sometimes, but rarely, it's the first time that he was never in that building at 8, 15 [56:46] in the morning. [56:47] He was there for hours, always, every single morning, every single day. [56:52] His brother was in the building and many, many, how many people, Howard? [56:56] Six hundred and fifty-eight. [56:59] He had the top three floors of the World Trade Center, and they were all killed. [57:04] His brother was killed, and everybody was killed. [57:07] And Howard went on a mission after that, to rebuild the firm, bigger and better, and [57:14] to give a lot of the proceeds of the new firm to the families of the people that died. [57:19] And, and, and he did. [57:44] You know, this was years ago. [57:46] And, you know, you think about the World Trade Center, it was a long time ago now. [57:50] But over the years, he worked very hard, early in the morning, late at night. [57:54] And he built Cantor Fitzgerald into a much bigger, more powerful, better firm than it was. [58:00] And, uh, something that, so he really built a great firm twice. [58:04] And it's something that you just don't see, especially on Wall Street. [58:07] So he's fantastic. [58:08] But he's been our Secretary of Commerce, and he's, uh, he gave a lot of, he took a big pay cut. [58:16] That's okay. [58:17] But he, he really has done a great job. [58:19] And a lot of companies come to him, and they want to move back in because of the tariffs [58:23] and because of us. [58:25] But they want to move in. [58:26] There's never, our country has never done anything close to what it's doing now. [58:30] So Howard just told me about this a little while ago, and I have it all down. [58:34] But I think what I'll do is I'll say, Howard, why don't you give us the honor of announcing [58:39] what you're going to announce. [58:40] So the president had as one of his fundamental objectives was to bring semiconductor manufacturing [58:56] home to America, right? [58:59] It's all made in Taiwan, right? [59:04] And that's just too far away for America. [59:06] So he's bringing it home. [59:08] So we're announcing Sibelco is going to build silicon manufacturing. [59:15] It's quartz manufacturing. [59:17] It is the, basically the foundation of semiconductors, and they're going to build it right here in [59:23] North Carolina, hundreds of millions of dollars. [59:26] Big plant. [59:36] A very big, a very big deal. [59:38] That's great. [59:47] And you know, we have, uh, so we went from being the chip company. [59:52] We had Intel. [59:53] We have all these. [59:54] But then through stupid people representing our country, we lost 100% of the chip business. [1:00:01] Almost all of it went to Taiwan. [1:00:03] Had we charged tariffs or the chips coming in, it would have stayed with us. [1:00:07] But we lost all of it. [1:00:09] And now we have the biggest chip company in the world coming to actually mostly Arizona. [1:00:13] It's going to also expand into Texas. [1:00:15] But it's, it's our country, so we don't care. [1:00:17] It's in our country. [1:00:19] We want it in our country. [1:00:20] The biggest chip company in the world that has almost 100% of the chips is building a [1:00:27] $400 billion massive operation in, in Arizona and is going to most likely pretty soon, I [1:00:38] think, I hope I don't get too ahead of it. [1:00:40] But they're going to build a massive also factory and a chip plant massive. [1:00:46] These things are miles long. [1:00:48] You've never seen, you know, in the old days, if you built a big shopping center, it was good. [1:00:51] These things are three miles long by four miles wide. [1:00:55] It's crazy. [1:00:55] But they're going to spend hundreds of billions of dollars building another one, maybe in Texas [1:01:00] or someplace else. [1:01:02] We're going to have close to 50% of the chip business in a very short hour. [1:01:06] We had nothing. [1:01:07] We had no chip business. [1:01:08] Now we're going to have 50% and then you have so many other companies. [1:01:13] It's amazing. [1:01:14] But what Howard just said is a great, that's a great company and they're going to come right [1:01:18] to North Carolina and you have many other companies. [1:01:21] You, you are doing unbelievable business. [1:01:24] I want to just say there's never been a time like this. [1:01:27] And that's why I'm here. [1:01:28] I want to tell you that because you don't hear it. [1:01:31] It was a, I told this story sort two days ago, a anchor, a business anchor, very small, [1:01:38] very smart, very good, pretty fair person, was interviewing somebody, a pundit, a man [1:01:44] who really knows business. [1:01:45] And they were talking and the pundit said to the business anchor, do you have any? [1:01:52] Because they were talking about the stock market, how high can it go? [1:01:55] You know, I don't know if you know, 88 days during this short period of time, it hit an [1:01:59] all-time high, it's at an all-time high now, 88 days. [1:02:06] So think of that, but, but it's at an all-time high. [1:02:10] And if you multiply out times three, because all of, you know, the three primary markets [1:02:13] are every time. [1:02:16] And by the way, 401ks, your 401ks are through the roof. [1:02:20] Please, when you go to vote, you're going to vote for him because look at your 401k and [1:02:26] you'll see that it's up 60%, and that means you have to vote for Michael Watley because, [1:02:33] you know, under Biden, under Biden, the 401ks did very badly. [1:02:38] So it means you have to vote for him. [1:02:41] But your 401ks are through, just like the stock market, through the roof. [1:02:46] And most of you, how many people have a 401k? [1:02:48] So every one of you, it's, right, hitting all-time highs. [1:02:54] People have never seen anything like it, but we have, the company's coming in at levels [1:02:59] never seen before, and I'm pleased to announce something else, and this is a very big one also. [1:03:05] This is a very, very big one. [1:03:07] The Department of War will be investing $1.5 billion to produce cutting-edge semiconductor [1:03:15] chips right here in North Carolina also. [1:03:19] It's breaking news. [1:03:25] You hear that, Ted? [1:03:25] Not bad. [1:03:26] And actually, Ted pushed us hard on that one, right? [1:03:30] Our country is doing so well under Republican leadership that only I can make this promise [1:03:36] to you. [1:03:37] You've heard it. [1:03:38] If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate, I am going to give all adult [1:03:44] citizens in the United States of America $5,000. [1:03:49] And only Republicans can do that. [1:03:59] The Democrats can't, because we're taking in massive amounts of money. [1:04:09] Well, it's only if we win. [1:04:12] We've got to win. [1:04:14] We've got to win. [1:04:15] But we're taking in only we can do that, the Republicans. [1:04:18] Democrats can't, because we're taking in massive amounts of money through tariffs and record-setting [1:04:24] economic success, and the Democratic policies, the Democrat policies are so bad that they [1:04:31] won't allow this to happen. [1:04:32] It won't be able to happen. [1:04:34] And, frankly, if the Democrats win, you will have a 1929-style economic depression, without [1:04:43] question. [1:04:44] That's what's going to happen. [1:04:45] They're going to do all the things that they shouldn't be doing. [1:04:48] If the Republicans win, you will each have $5,000 in your pocket, an economic success for our [1:04:55] country like we have never, ever seen before. [1:04:59] And remember, just recently, I gave all members of our great military $1,776, and everyone said [1:05:12] that couldn't be done. [1:05:13] It wouldn't be done. [1:05:14] It couldn't be done. [1:05:15] And I did it, and it was actually $17.75. [1:05:20] You know, they came in $17. [1:05:22] How much can we give them, because they deserve it? [1:05:24] You know, we did very well with a lot of things like Venezuela, et cetera, et cetera. [1:05:29] And, oh, I didn't see that. [1:05:30] Oh, we love you. [1:05:34] Thank you. [1:05:35] Thank you. [1:05:35] Oh, wow. [1:05:42] These are great people. [1:05:43] You know, some of these people are waiting three days. [1:05:45] The whole thing is crazy. [1:05:47] They're waiting three days, and then something happens. [1:05:51] Wow. [1:05:51] So, okay, everyone is, yeah, it looks like, well, I hate to see it. [1:06:01] I hate to see it. [1:06:02] Hopefully, that great, incredible patriot, I can tell you a patriot, 100%. [1:06:08] People here are patriots. [1:06:09] They're no non-patriots. [1:06:14] Thank you. [1:06:14] Good luck. [1:06:15] Thank you, doctor. [1:06:16] Thank you, doctor. [1:06:17] Boy, the doctors are amazing, what they do, and these first responders there on the thing. [1:06:23] Look at one. [1:06:24] I mean, the way they, I didn't even, it was done so rapidly, persons, it's difficult, but [1:06:32] the first responders, or even the way they take these wackos out of here in about two seconds. [1:06:37] You know, I judge a lot of states by the speed with which they get rid of the wackos. [1:06:41] And you're right up there, I must say. [1:06:45] No, some want to be, no, no, some are politically correct. [1:06:49] They want to, they don't want to do anything. [1:06:51] You people just rip them right the hell out of there. [1:06:54] I like that. [1:06:56] I like that. [1:06:57] Well, South Carolina is pretty good, too, Tim. [1:06:59] I must be honest with you. [1:07:01] He's Tim, South Carolina. [1:07:02] They're pretty good, too, I will say. [1:07:05] The Trump dividend is approximately $1 trillion, and we have a record-setting $22.2 trillion [1:07:12] coming in just being invested on our country. [1:07:15] So you understand that the only caveat is, very important, you must invest the $5,000, [1:07:22] and your wife gets $5,000, too, so you're married, you get $10,000. [1:07:25] You must invest your $5,000, $10,000, or whatever it might be, in the United States of America. [1:07:30] You cannot go to Japan. [1:07:32] You cannot go to China. [1:07:35] Darling, let's go to China and invest. [1:07:37] Let's go to China and buy some things in China. [1:07:40] You can't do that. [1:07:41] I will allow you to go to France if you'd like. [1:07:45] You can have some fun. [1:07:50] See, that's what the radical left will do to your country. [1:07:53] They'll destroy your country. [1:07:54] They're burning down buildings. [1:07:56] Wow, what a shame. [1:07:58] But, no, that'll happen 100%, just like the $1,776. [1:08:03] But, no, the general stood there. [1:08:05] It was $1,775. [1:08:07] Sir, we could do $1,775. [1:08:10] I said, that's a strange number. [1:08:12] Why does that number remind me of something? [1:08:15] But being a super genius, I said, ha-ha. [1:08:18] If I invest merely $1 more, I'm at $1,776. [1:08:24] You remember that, Tim? [1:08:25] I'm at $1,776. [1:08:27] I said, general, can we scrounge up $1 more? [1:08:31] Yes, sir. [1:08:32] We can do it very easily, sir. [1:08:33] I said, let's make it $1,776, and nobody's ever going to forget it. [1:08:38] And we did it, and we got the money. [1:08:40] They got the money a year ago. [1:08:42] And the soldiers, every time they see me, they think, but the $5,000 is going to be very easy. [1:08:46] You're going to invest it back here. [1:08:48] You're going to spend it back here. [1:08:49] It's called recycled. [1:08:51] And it's just fine. [1:08:52] It's going to be great. [1:08:53] It's going to be my honor. [1:08:54] We'll get it done 100%. [1:08:55] So the choice in this election is very simple. [1:09:02] You can vote for the radical-left Democrat communists to loot your wealth, raise your taxes by $5 trillion, annihilate your borders, decimate North Carolina industries. [1:09:14] I mean, look at me. [1:09:15] I'm up here for just a little while, and I'm announcing two companies and the military are going to be spending. [1:09:20] They're going to mutilate your children, the mutilization of your transgender mutilization. [1:09:30] Can you imagine that? [1:09:32] Give 25 million illegal aliens amnesty. [1:09:37] They're going to have, they're still fighting for men playing in women's sports, right? [1:09:41] Or, or, you can defeat the Democrat communists and vote for more money in your pockets, bigger paychecks for your families, lower taxes, less crime, a booming North Carolina economy, no amnesty for illegal aliens. [1:09:59] But to do that, you must vote Republican. [1:10:02] You must vote for the Watley man right over there. [1:10:11] Michael Watley is amazing. [1:10:13] Just think of what we've accomplished in less than two years. [1:10:17] We inherited the worst border in American history. [1:10:19] We turned it into the strongest and most secure border in the history of our country. [1:10:24] And as I said, in the past 17 months, zero illegal aliens have been admitted to the United States of America. [1:10:34] Thank you. [1:10:35] Zero. [1:10:36] I almost wish it were like, I said today, I almost wish it were like 119 or 57 or even 912. [1:10:47] It's hard to believe zero. [1:10:49] 25 million people came in, and now we say zero. [1:10:53] It doesn't sound, you know, who can think it's even possible, but that's what it is. [1:10:56] It's zero. [1:10:57] Done by people who lean left. [1:10:59] So these are people that would love to put some score on the board, but they're honest about it. [1:11:04] Zero people have been allowed because we don't play games. [1:11:08] We're joined tonight by the president of the National Border Patrol Council, Paul Perez. [1:11:15] And I watched you speak before, Paul, and you were great. [1:11:18] I watched you coming in on Air Force One, and I was watching my friend, Paul Perez. [1:11:23] He's an incredible leader. [1:11:24] He's a hero, actually. [1:11:26] And I want to thank you and the Border Patrol and ICE and all of these guys that do such a great job. [1:11:32] Thank you. [1:11:34] My friend, in less than two years, my administration achieved the largest drop in violent crime ever recorded. [1:11:45] I want to think of that, and that's despite the fact we've gotten a lot of them out, the worst of the worst, we call them. [1:11:51] We got a lot of them out, but we still had 25 million people come in from jails from all over the world, murderers. [1:11:58] We had murderers here, drug dealers, drug lords. [1:12:01] We had everything. [1:12:02] They emptied mental institutions into our country. [1:12:05] They emptied jails from all over the world, from the Congo to all over South America. [1:12:13] Jails were emptied into our country, and yet we have the best crime stats ever. [1:12:17] We got a lot of them out, but we have the best crime. [1:12:19] Who would think that's possible? [1:12:21] The murder rate is at the lowest level in 125 years since the year 1900. [1:12:26] And these aren't Trump numbers. [1:12:31] These are numbers that come out through the government registry. [1:12:35] Thanks to a Republican Congress, I signed the great, big, beautiful bill delivering the largest tax cuts in American history. [1:12:44] We gave you no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. [1:12:51] And under my most favored nation agreement on drug prices, we went from paying the highest drug prices anywhere in the world just a few months ago and forever. [1:13:03] We always paid, by far, the highest drug prices anywhere in the world to the lowest drug prices anywhere in the world with price differences of 300%, 400%, 500%, 600%, and even 700%. [1:13:23] It's the biggest drug cut, I guess, for any country ever. [1:13:28] And I did that by getting the drug companies, but they didn't worry about it because they knew I couldn't get the countries to do it because they had to approve. [1:13:36] They had to double their price in order for us to do that. [1:13:39] And they all agreed. [1:13:41] They agreed because they had no choice. [1:13:44] We abolished all these different countries to get them to double and sometimes triple their prices so that we go down, way down, and they go up a little bit. [1:14:03] But a little bit is a doubling, sometimes a tripling. [1:14:06] That's a lot. [1:14:08] We abolished all discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion policies throughout the federal government and throughout our country. [1:14:18] We got critical race theory and transgender insanity out of your schools and out of the military. [1:14:26] We made English the official language of the United States of America. [1:14:30] Thank you. [1:14:33] And just as I promised, we are ensuring that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. [1:14:39] They're never going to have one. [1:14:40] We're also fighting for our great veterans and taking care of those veterans who brought claims related to water contamination at Camp Lejeune. [1:14:51] It's been a big subject, actually. [1:14:54] So tonight, I'm pleased to announce that my administration has delivered $1 billion in cash settlements to these veterans and their families, most of whom are based here. [1:15:07] In addition to $3.3 billion we've provided for the VA in less than two years. [1:15:13] And if we win the House and the Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible [1:15:22] and get it off the books and get it finished. [1:15:24] This has gone on for years. [1:15:26] And we will go, all of these will go directly to the veterans and their families. [1:15:35] And we won't, we don't want to give any to the trial lawyers. [1:15:39] We've given a lot of money to, no trial lawyers, if you don't mind. [1:15:42] We want it to go to the families, not to the lawyers. [1:15:45] If you don't mind, let it go to the families. [1:15:47] Ted, do you agree with that? [1:15:49] Ted Bud says yes, that means it's good with me. [1:15:52] So if we don't win, there's no money. [1:15:55] If we do win, you're getting it. [1:15:57] It's going to be finally over with that nightmare that's been going on for so many years. [1:16:01] We will never abandon the heroes who served America. [1:16:05] And that's what that's all about. [1:16:06] And we achieved more in two years than any other presidency in the history of our country. [1:16:11] There's never been a first two years like we've had, what we've done, including that Venezuela. [1:16:19] How about Venezuela? [1:16:22] How was that? [1:16:22] Was that good? [1:16:23] But now the radical left Democrats want to burn it all down. [1:16:32] Every single Democrat in Congress voted against our tax cuts. [1:16:36] They voted against no tax on tips. [1:16:39] They voted against 100%. [1:16:41] I think it's 100%, fellas, right? [1:16:43] Not one vote. [1:16:45] Not from Pennsylvania, no, right? [1:16:47] Well, they voted against no tax on overtime. [1:16:50] They voted against no tax on Social Security. [1:16:54] They voted against all these things. [1:16:56] They voted against no voter ID. [1:16:58] Everybody? [1:16:59] 100%. [1:17:00] In other words, you go to a polling place. [1:17:03] Yes, here's my identification. [1:17:05] The Democrats voted against it. [1:17:07] You know why? [1:17:07] They want to cheat. [1:17:08] That's why. [1:17:09] It's very simple. [1:17:11] Somebody said, why do they do that? [1:17:13] I said, very simple. [1:17:14] They want to cheat. [1:17:15] They voted against proof of citizenship. [1:17:18] Sir, may I please see your citizenship? [1:17:19] Absolutely not. [1:17:20] Oh, please, go ahead and do whatever. [1:17:22] These people are crazy. [1:17:24] They're crazy. [1:17:25] They voted against securing our border. [1:17:29] They voted against the wall. [1:17:31] They voted against everything. [1:17:33] But they voted in favor of the worst inflation in the history of our country, the highest energy [1:17:39] costs in American history. [1:17:41] You know, we just extinguished a nuclear bomb from the worst country in the world. [1:17:47] And our gas prices, it's a small thing to pay. [1:17:51] Our gas prices are lower than under Obama, and they're lower than sleepy Joe Biden. [1:17:57] And we did what they should have done and other presidents, frankly, should have done a long time ago. [1:18:03] Iran has killed many, many Americans, many, many people throughout the world for a long time. [1:18:11] They were the bully of the Middle East. [1:18:12] They were one of the bullies of the world. [1:18:14] They're not a bully anymore. [1:18:15] In favor of transgender mutilization, they were in favor of that, and they are now, and they're still fighting for it. [1:18:22] I saw a congressman on television two days ago fighting for the transgender mutilization. [1:18:29] It's the craziest thing I've ever heard. [1:18:31] I say often, you know, I say these things. [1:18:34] We will stop men from playing in women's sports. [1:18:37] And I say, no, but I said, and I say, can you imagine 10 or 15 years ago if you said, we will stop men? [1:18:46] People would say, that guy's crazy. [1:18:48] What are you talking about, men playing in women's sports? [1:18:50] But no, they want men to play in women's sports. [1:18:53] No, we got it out of the Olympics, the upcoming Olympics, by the way. [1:18:55] We said, we're not going to. [1:18:58] You know, I was the one that got the Olympics. [1:19:00] I got it in my first term. [1:19:01] Then I was very upset that I wouldn't be president when the Olympics came because it came after my second term, which we expected to win in a landslide, which we did actually do. [1:19:12] But what happened is we got delayed by some very bad practices. [1:19:17] And now I had the World Cup, but I had the Olympics, and I had 250. [1:19:23] And, no, I got the World Cup, and that was a great... [1:19:27] By the way, think of that. [1:19:29] The World Cup went through with not even a little problem. [1:19:33] What a job they did. [1:19:35] But the World Cup was a great success, and the Olympics is going to be incredible. [1:19:41] And I said, I got all three, and people said, okay, you got the World Cup, and you got the Olympics. [1:19:46] But you didn't get 250. [1:19:47] 250 is 250. [1:19:49] We had the 250th year. [1:19:50] Happened to fall. [1:19:51] I tried to take credit for it, and I didn't get away. [1:19:56] Actually, Tim Scott said, sir, you cannot do that. [1:19:58] That's 250 years, you had nothing to do. [1:20:00] I said, you're right. [1:20:02] I conceded, right? [1:20:03] But we did have all three. [1:20:05] I got two of the three. [1:20:07] But on election night, North Carolina is going to prove that America does not belong to those who hate it. [1:20:13] America belongs to those who love it. [1:20:16] Thank you. [1:20:25] Thank you. [1:20:26] You're going to have a good night. [1:20:28] I look forward to that night. [1:20:29] I look forward to November 3rd, because I think you're going to see some amazing results. [1:20:35] You know? [1:20:36] They never poll us right. [1:20:38] They never poll us right. [1:20:40] We have more spirits. [1:20:41] Somebody said, oh, who has more spirits? [1:20:43] The Democrats, they want to put jihadists. [1:20:45] That guy from Michigan, he's a jihadist. [1:20:49] He's a jihadist. [1:20:50] He's a Muslim Brotherhood guy. [1:20:52] His mother, his sister. [1:20:54] She was on the list. [1:20:58] She was on the list. [1:20:59] But they took her off. [1:21:00] You know why? [1:21:01] Maybe they took her off. [1:21:02] Maybe they didn't. [1:21:02] But all you have to do is hire a lawyer, and they'll take you off a list, because people don't want to be bothered, unfortunately. [1:21:09] Roy Cooper has betrayed the people of this state for 38 years. [1:21:13] He voted to raise your taxes on health care. [1:21:16] He destroyed your health care. [1:21:17] He voted to raise taxes on groceries, cars, pensions, and even voted to raise taxes on survivor benefits for families of fallen service members. [1:21:29] I'll tell you what else. [1:21:30] You know, under the great, big, beautiful bill, he didn't want it to happen, because he was totally against. [1:21:37] We have a thing where if you die and you leave your estate, you leave your farm or you leave your small business to your children. [1:21:44] In the old days, meaning a couple of years ago, the children had to go out and borrow money to pay the estate tax. [1:21:52] And many times it didn't work out well. [1:21:54] They'd lose their farm. [1:21:55] They'd lose their business. [1:21:57] And they'd do bad things, including, in many cases, commit suicide. [1:22:01] It's a very well-known fact. [1:22:02] They wanted to have their farm that their parents had. [1:22:06] You had a tremendous estate tax to pay. [1:22:08] I eliminated the estate tax or the death tax. [1:22:12] So now, if you love your children, if you don't love your children, don't even listen, because it's a waste of time. [1:22:23] Does everybody love their children? [1:22:25] I think so. [1:22:28] In North Carolina, I think so. [1:22:30] I think there might be one or two of you. [1:22:32] Would anybody have the courage to raise your hand? [1:22:35] Does anybody not love your children? [1:22:36] Don't do it. [1:22:37] Because, you know, they had that one time, and a guy raised his hand. [1:22:40] He was sort of kidding, and they wrote his name in the newspaper, and his children, I don't think they've ever recovered from it. [1:22:47] He was just kidding. [1:22:48] He was just kidding. [1:22:50] But, no, you can now leave your farm. [1:22:53] You can leave your business to your kids, and they don't have to pay. [1:22:56] They don't have to go to a bank, your friendly banker, who ends up not being so friendly. [1:23:00] And they're going to get to your farm, and they're going to live on their farm, and they're going to live peacefully and happily. [1:23:06] And they're going to say, thank you, Mom, and thank you, Dad, and we love you, and we always will. [1:23:11] And it's a great thing. [1:23:12] We're very proud. [1:23:13] And Roy Cooper doesn't want it. [1:23:15] I don't understand. [1:23:16] He doesn't want that. [1:23:17] The Democrats, every single Democrat voted against the estate tax thing. [1:23:24] Every single one, they voted that you have to pay when you die. [1:23:28] You have to pay a massive estate tax, which is a tremendous burden on the kids. [1:23:32] They either sell and leave, or they take it, and they put a mortgage on it. [1:23:36] Because, in many cases, farms are valuable, but they're not necessarily big cash thrower offers. [1:23:43] But the land is valuable, and so they put a big mortgage on the property, and they lose it, and they do bad things, bad things, terrible. [1:23:52] Roy Cooper, the Democrats are totally against it, and they will end all of the things. [1:23:57] There's no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security. [1:24:01] They'll end it, right? [1:24:02] No tax on overtime, and they're going to end what we just talked about with respect to the estate or the death tax. [1:24:08] So I don't know. [1:24:10] I don't know how the hell you can vote for somebody like that. [1:24:12] And Cooper believes in that 100%, and nobody can explain it. [1:24:15] He vetoed the bill protecting women's sports and signed a law putting men in girls' locker. [1:24:23] You know that this guy, actually, he's worse than almost any. [1:24:26] People think of him as a moderate. [1:24:28] He's not. [1:24:28] He's a radical left lunatic. [1:24:30] He signed a bill putting men in girls' bathrooms, and he just got an F rating from the NRA. [1:24:39] F, meaning he wants to take your guns away. [1:24:42] That's what it is, an F rating. [1:24:44] It's hard to get an F rating. [1:24:48] No, but Cooper, think of it. [1:24:49] Does anybody have a gun in this particular area? [1:24:52] Yes. [1:24:54] Yeah. [1:24:55] Okay. [1:24:55] Don't worry. [1:24:56] The rest of them don't have to raise their hand. [1:24:58] Not everybody raises their hand. [1:25:00] They say, no, I don't have a gun. [1:25:01] I don't happen to have. [1:25:02] And, you know, you go and you see about 75 guns in the house. [1:25:05] You don't have to raise your hand. [1:25:07] But a lot of hands went up. [1:25:08] Cooper wants to take it away, and he voted F. F means terminate your Second Amendment. [1:25:15] That's what it means. [1:25:16] Very few people get an F. [1:25:18] Michael Watley, Michael Watley was just rated an A, got an A from the NRA. [1:25:25] So he will work hard with all of your people, and he's going to work with Ted and everybody [1:25:34] else, and he's going to protect your... [1:25:36] Well, wait a minute. [1:25:37] Let me ask Ted. [1:25:38] Ted, are you for protecting our great Second Amendment? [1:25:43] No. [1:25:44] I had a feeling. [1:25:45] Oh, yes. [1:25:46] He wanted to make sure he got that one right. [1:25:48] That would be career-threatening if Ted... [1:25:50] But if Ted said, no, let's terminate it. [1:25:53] What about Tim? [1:25:54] We're right near his state. [1:25:56] Tim, are you okay? [1:25:57] You're okay with the Second Amendment? [1:26:00] Tim and I have fought, and Ted, we've fought for a long time together. [1:26:05] Ted's been there now a little while, too. [1:26:08] That was a good choice. [1:26:10] I loved him from the beginning, but we fought very hard. [1:26:13] You think it's easy to fight for the Second Amendment? [1:26:16] It's not easy. [1:26:17] It's a tough one. [1:26:18] It's under siege, right, fellas? [1:26:19] It's under siege, but nothing's going to happen as long as we're there, and Michael's going [1:26:24] to help us a lot, a lot. [1:26:27] Roy Cooper won't, and he refuses to answer questions about whether he has a lot of [1:26:34] the health and stamina to serve a full term because he refuses to do what people are asking [1:26:41] him to do. [1:26:42] Democrat lawyers send a cease and desist letter to journalists asking the question, which [1:26:48] means Roy Cooper. [1:26:49] I mean, is he up for the job? [1:26:50] You know, I've taken so many physicals, and I get the best marks. [1:26:56] I mean, look, there'll be a time. [1:26:58] I'll let you know when the time is. [1:27:00] I'll know. [1:27:01] Someday I won't be able to get out of a chair or something. [1:27:04] This is not good. [1:27:05] But I'll tell you what, when you can do many of these a day, it's a test, but I have much [1:27:12] bigger tests than that. [1:27:13] No, I've taken numerous physicals. [1:27:15] I'm the only one that ever took a cognitive test. [1:27:18] You know, they have a very tough test. [1:27:19] It's a cognitive test. [1:27:21] I took three of them. [1:27:22] Where's the doctor? [1:27:22] Is he around? [1:27:23] Where's my doctor? [1:27:24] Where's the admiral? [1:27:24] The doctor? [1:27:25] Where is he? [1:27:26] Because he, I travel, you know, when you're president, and they'll say, oh, he's got a doctor. [1:27:33] No, when you travel, you have doctors, if you're president. [1:27:36] And I took three cognitive tests, and I aced him. [1:27:39] One of the doctors at the hospital, Walter Reed, said, I've never seen anybody ace a cognitive test. [1:27:46] I've never seen it. [1:27:47] Rarely. [1:27:47] You've got to be extremely smart. [1:27:49] But I aced him three times. [1:27:51] So now they have a new line. [1:27:52] So I aced him twice, and then I took it. [1:27:54] So I took it three times. [1:27:55] Nobody else ever. [1:27:56] And they came up with a concept. [1:27:58] It's a new concept. [1:27:59] Why is he taking so many? [1:28:01] There must be something wrong with him. [1:28:03] That's their new concept now. [1:28:05] In other words, I aced him. [1:28:07] I asked the doctor, though, should I initially, when I first assisted him my first term, [1:28:11] he said, well, some of it's pretty hard. [1:28:14] You know, the first question's easy. [1:28:16] You have a lion, a snake, a bear, and a giraffe. [1:28:21] And they say, which is the giraffe? [1:28:23] So that's always the question that they show. [1:28:26] Well, they start off an easy question, right? [1:28:29] So that's always the, they said, hey, let us show you. [1:28:32] Well, the first question. [1:28:34] When they get into those last questions, see the fake news, there's not a person there that [1:28:39] can answer. [1:28:40] Boy, that's a lot of them. [1:28:41] Is that as many as I think? [1:28:43] Or is that going, what the hell? [1:28:46] That's a big group. [1:28:47] But, no, we want to, we want to all stay in great health. [1:28:52] And there's something going on with Cooper. [1:28:55] And, you know, I hope there's not. [1:28:56] I hope there's not. [1:28:57] But he refuses to do what you're supposed to be doing. [1:29:00] You know, when you pick people, I believe that anybody running for president or vice president [1:29:05] should be, it should be a mandatory cognitive test. [1:29:09] But it's really the same thing. [1:29:10] If they run for a little bit lesser, if they run for the senator, if they're going to be [1:29:14] a senator of a state, great state like this. [1:29:18] But, you know, I think it's important for them to have a very strong physical. [1:29:21] And I think it's very important for them to have cognitive tests. [1:29:25] I think politicians should have to take aptitude tests or positive, you know, let's find out. [1:29:31] Hey, how do you think Joe Biden would have done on a aptitude test? [1:29:34] I don't think. [1:29:36] Well, he sort of had one during the debate. [1:29:38] We gave him an aptitude test. [1:29:42] I don't think, I don't think Kamala would do particularly well. [1:29:46] Gavin Newsom said he can't do well. [1:29:48] He said he's a stupid person. [1:29:50] Remember, he actually did. [1:29:51] He did the worst interview for a professional politician that I've ever seen. [1:29:56] Did you see it? [1:29:57] The worst interview I've ever seen. [1:29:59] He said all sorts of things, that he's not smart. [1:30:02] But he did say he's smarter than the people in the room, and that did get him in a lot of trouble. [1:30:07] Now, Gavin gave him, I don't know, I thought he actually was going to announce after that [1:30:11] that he wasn't going to run. [1:30:12] Michael Watley is a warrior, and he's a warrior for North Carolina. [1:30:16] He's a natural warrior for North Carolina. [1:30:20] Michael is a warrior, right? [1:30:22] That's why I'm here, just to tell you. [1:30:24] I don't need this. [1:30:25] I could be watching something on television. [1:30:27] What's on tonight? [1:30:28] Anything good? [1:30:29] No. [1:30:29] I'd rather be here, to be totally honest. [1:30:31] There's nothing good. [1:30:33] But he'll fight for low taxes, strong borders, and keeping violent criminals locked up behind bars. [1:30:39] And I'd like to do this. [1:30:40] Look, he's in, I'm here for two things. [1:30:42] I want to tell you how bad Cooper is, and I want to tell you how great Michael Watley is. [1:30:47] And I can just say that we ran one of the finest, finest campaigns in history in our last, I said, [1:30:56] we have to make it because they cheat like hell, the Democrats, because they have to. [1:31:00] With their policy, it's so bad, there's no way they could get elected if they didn't cheat. [1:31:05] They have to cheat. [1:31:05] We ran the finest campaign. [1:31:08] A lot of people said it's one of the best campaigns ever run. [1:31:11] And it's nice that he has a good candidate, in all fairness. [1:31:14] But Michael Watley did a fantastic job. [1:31:17] And I'm here to tell you that I appreciate that. [1:31:20] And he's from North Carolina. [1:31:22] And as I said, I demanded, come on up, Michael. [1:31:26] I wanted him to be the guy. [1:31:28] And I was right. [1:31:29] I called it right. [1:31:30] And I think he'll be an even, I think he's going to be an even better senator. [1:31:36] So respected. [1:31:37] Come on up. [1:31:46] Well, North Carolina certainly has a big choice in front of us. [1:31:50] This election is really a fork in the road. [1:31:54] And we have an opportunity as a state to go down the road of common sense, [1:31:59] to go down the road of American strength, [1:32:02] to go down the road of a North Carolina that is going to be strong. [1:32:06] Or we have the chance to go down the road with Roy Cooper. [1:32:12] You know, Roy Cooper raised your taxes when he was in the legislature. [1:32:16] He vetoed six different tax cuts when he was governor. [1:32:21] He said that he would have voted against the one big, beautiful bill, [1:32:24] the Working Family Tax Cut Act. [1:32:27] That bill, signed by this great president here, [1:32:31] saved the average North Carolina family $5,700 on April 15th. [1:32:36] And Roy Cooper wants that $5,700 to give it to bureaucrats in Washington. [1:32:44] He wants you to pay taxes on tips. [1:32:46] He wants you to pay taxes on Social Security. [1:32:49] He wants you to pay taxes on overtime. [1:32:52] He's never seen a tax he didn't want to raise. [1:32:54] I've never seen a tax I didn't want to cut. [1:32:57] I will work every single day to make sure that you make more money [1:33:05] and you keep more of your money. [1:33:07] Roy Cooper vetoed legislation, the Parents' Bill of Rights. [1:33:14] How do you veto the Parents' Bill of Rights? [1:33:16] How do you tell all the parents in North Carolina [1:33:18] that I don't want you to know what's going on in your kid's school [1:33:22] and I don't want you to have a say there? [1:33:24] He vetoed legislation to prohibit transgender mutilation surgeries on kids. [1:33:31] He vetoed legislation to keep boys out of girls' sports. [1:33:36] I will fight every single day to protect your kids. [1:33:41] Roy Cooper is the most pro-criminal, pro-crime governor [1:33:49] that we've ever had in North Carolina. [1:33:51] He vetoed legislation to get violent criminal, illegal aliens [1:33:56] the hell out of North Carolina. [1:33:58] I'm going to back Paul and our Border Patrol Council [1:34:01] and we're going to support a strong border and safe communities. [1:34:05] He set up a revolving door that put criminals back on the streets [1:34:11] again and again and again. [1:34:13] And he released over 4,200 criminals. [1:34:17] The worst of the worst. [1:34:19] Pedophiles, rapists, and murderers. [1:34:21] Men like DeCarlos Brown Jr., who murdered Irena Zarotska in cold blood. [1:34:27] DeCarlos Brown Jr. should have never been on that light rail car. [1:34:30] He should have never been on the streets of North Carolina. [1:34:33] Irena Zarotska should be alive today and her blood is on his hands. [1:34:38] I will back the blue. [1:34:43] I will make sure that they have what they need to keep our communities safe. [1:34:52] In this election, you've got to ask a basic question. [1:34:56] Who is Roy Cooper going to stand with? [1:34:58] Who is he going to fight for? [1:34:59] Roy Cooper will fight for criminals. [1:35:01] He will fight for illegal aliens. [1:35:03] He will fight for men who want to play in girls' sports and go in women's locker rooms. [1:35:12] I will fight every single day for our farmers. [1:35:15] I will fight for our men and women in law enforcement. [1:35:18] I will fight for our men and women in uniform. [1:35:21] I will fight for our families. [1:35:23] And I will fight for you. [1:35:26] Thank you, Mr. President. [1:35:45] Wow. [1:35:47] Hey, he's becoming very good at this. [1:35:49] It's a very... [1:35:51] That's really... [1:35:52] That's... [1:35:52] You know what that is? [1:35:53] That's passion. [1:35:53] And he's a great man, and he'll be somebody that you'd be very proud of, and I can tell you. [1:36:01] So North Carolina also needs to vote for Congressman Tim Moore, a special person. [1:36:07] Where's Tim? [1:36:08] Tim. [1:36:09] A special warrior helps me all the time. [1:36:14] Thank you, Tim. [1:36:15] What a great job you do. [1:36:16] And your next congresswoman from North Carolina's 11th District, Jennifer Balcombe. [1:36:24] Where are you, Jennifer? [1:36:25] Hi, Ben. [1:36:26] Nice to see you. [1:36:28] I watched your speech before. [1:36:30] That was very good. [1:36:31] That was very impressive. [1:36:32] Thank you very much. [1:36:33] I watched from Air Force One as you were speaking in your nice red outfit. [1:36:39] You did a great job. [1:36:41] And you know what, Jennifer? [1:36:41] Why don't you come up and also, congresswoman from the 1st District, Lori Buckout. [1:36:47] Come up, the two of you. [1:36:48] We have to get them in. [1:36:49] We have to vote for them. [1:36:51] These are two special people. [1:36:52] Come on up. [1:36:53] Thank you, Mr. President, so much. [1:37:11] I'm so glad you're here. [1:37:13] I mean, I'm a farm girl, so I appreciate the estate tax. [1:37:17] I'm the 8th generation young lady who still has a farm to give to the 9th generation, so [1:37:22] I thank you for that, Mr. President. [1:37:24] I'm a mom of two boys, so I know how important our kids are. [1:37:30] I was actually the one that helped veto override Roy Cooper on many of his bills, whether that [1:37:36] be transitioning our children, women in sports. [1:37:41] I wrote that bill for North Carolina, Mr. President. [1:37:43] And I thank you so much for supporting it in the White House and signing that. [1:37:48] Thank you. [1:37:51] And you know, something else, Mr. President, you did make a promise, and you came here [1:37:55] right after you took office, too. [1:37:57] I was there that day. [1:37:59] Thank you so much. [1:38:00] That meant so much. [1:38:01] I'm from the mountains. [1:38:01] I saw what happened. [1:38:03] And it meant so much for you and your team. [1:38:05] Susie Wiles was there. [1:38:06] Your wife was there, Ms. Beautiful Melendez. [1:38:10] Thank you so much for coming and seeing us, because it meant a lot to our people in Western [1:38:14] North Carolina. [1:38:15] So I can't wait to serve in the next Washington Congress with you. [1:38:19] Thank you so much for coming. [1:38:21] Mr. President, just one more time, thank you so much for coming to North Carolina, right [1:38:31] on the edge of the first congressional district. [1:38:33] Thank you, sir. [1:38:40] Now, I want to say that it was a very interesting footage tonight showing what's going on in France [1:38:45] right now, right? [1:38:46] So I think that if we don't continue to vote Republican, if we don't continue to keep the [1:38:52] House, if we don't continue to keep people like Michael Watley and all these folks down [1:38:57] here in office, I think that's in danger of coming to America. [1:39:01] Now, President Trump will stand fast, as he has, for America First every single time. [1:39:07] And I'm going to tell you something, I have fought against those people, and this is no [1:39:12] joke. [1:39:13] And I will be the stone wall right with President Trump to make sure that does not happen here. [1:39:18] I will fight for you every single day. [1:39:21] I'm incredibly grateful for President Trump coming here today. [1:39:31] I'm incredibly grateful for all these great Republicans we have here right now. [1:39:34] But all of this energy the president has bought here to North Carolina is for naught unless [1:39:42] you all get out and vote early. [1:39:45] I will speak for my district and for Jennifer's because she's my new battle buddy. [1:39:55] And I'm going to tell you, I can speak for our district. [1:39:57] We are Republican majority districts. [1:40:01] That's math. [1:40:03] Girl power. [1:40:04] And that is just, and that's simple math. [1:40:09] There are more of us. [1:40:10] All you got to do is get out the vote. [1:40:12] God bless you. [1:40:13] Mr. President, thank you so much. [1:40:15] God bless you, sir. [1:40:16] So it's very important that you vote for them and get them in office. [1:40:38] That would be a big, big help because it's tough. [1:40:42] You know, we have a great gentleman, our Speaker of the House, and he's out there working very [1:40:47] hard, Mike Johnson, and he said if you could give them a special call out tonight because [1:40:52] they're going to have close races. [1:40:54] But there's a guy named, is his name Don Davis? [1:40:56] I hear he's like a disaster. [1:40:58] No, you're running against Don Davis. [1:41:02] I hear he's a total disaster. [1:41:04] So you got to vote for those two incredible people. [1:41:07] And everybody says hello. [1:41:10] So I want to get you up here. [1:41:11] Get out and vote for them. [1:41:13] They're very special people. [1:41:14] And two other special people. [1:41:16] And we've sort of had fun with them all night long. [1:41:18] But that's Senator Ted Budd and Senator Tim Scott. [1:41:22] They're here. [1:41:22] And it's such an honor to be with you. [1:41:24] Thank you. [1:41:25] Thank you both. [1:41:28] Great guys. [1:41:29] North Carolina GOP Chair Jason Simmons. [1:41:32] Thank you, Jason. [1:41:33] Thank you. [1:41:34] Great job. [1:41:36] Work hard, Jason. [1:41:37] He's going to be working hard. [1:41:40] Chairwoman of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly of North Carolina, Sandy Moyer. [1:41:47] Thank you, Sandy. [1:41:48] And we have a legend here, a man that, should I call him up? [1:41:59] The great Richard Petty, the king? [1:42:02] Come on up, Richard. [1:42:03] Come on. [1:42:04] He just turned to a certain age. [1:42:08] I'll tell you, he's unbelievable. [1:42:11] I said, did you win 44 races? [1:42:13] No, I won 201 or something. [1:42:16] How do you win 200 races? [1:42:20] But this is a real legend. [1:42:23] Come on up. [1:42:23] All right. [1:42:34] Thanks for coming, man. [1:42:35] Appreciate that. [1:42:37] I'm going to look at all this stuff a little bit from the racing standpoint. [1:42:41] He's a big racing fan. [1:42:43] I appreciate that. [1:42:45] But we're in a big race here, guys. [1:42:47] I'm going to look at it. [1:42:49] All right? [1:42:50] I'm going to lose him as the driver. [1:42:52] This is the best driver we've ever had. [1:42:54] All right. [1:42:59] So what we've got to do is you all have got to pick out the best pit crew for him. [1:43:07] So we've got to have the best pit crew. [1:43:09] And that's what all this is about. [1:43:12] Let's get out and get the very best pit crew we can for the best driver in the world. [1:43:18] So if we do that, if we can do that, then he's a winner. [1:43:27] Pit crew's a winner. [1:43:28] We're all winners all over the world. [1:43:30] Thank you, guys. [1:43:31] That was great. [1:43:48] That was pretty cool. [1:43:49] I have to say I never thought of it quite that way. [1:43:53] The best driver, the best pit crew. [1:43:55] But that is a true legend and a great guy respected by everybody. [1:44:00] Thank you, my friend. [1:44:02] Everyone here today is part of the greatest movement in the history of our country. [1:44:07] And as you can see, the spirit and everything. [1:44:11] I mean, look, this is I do. [1:44:13] I'm doing these every night. [1:44:14] And no matter where I go, it's the same thing as massive crowds. [1:44:17] It's crowds. [1:44:18] We have big screens outside and thousands and thousands of people. [1:44:23] There's something going on that's very special. [1:44:25] It feels like 2016 when everyone said, oh, geez, just having a good time. [1:44:29] You know, they thought I was going to have a good time. [1:44:31] And then I'd leave, you know, after all the success. [1:44:34] And I was just doing it for fun. [1:44:36] That wasn't fun, fighting Hillary. [1:44:39] I don't want to mention the Republicans I fought because now most of them are friends of mine. [1:44:44] But it's not fun. [1:44:46] I'm doing it because, you know, I had a feeling and a statement that I made up. [1:44:51] And it turned out to be a very important statement. [1:44:54] Make America great again. [1:44:56] And that's what we're doing. [1:45:00] And we're doing it at a level that nobody thought was even possible. [1:45:05] We brought this country so far back. [1:45:07] If we didn't win this last election, I don't think we'd even have a country right now. [1:45:10] Our country is going to hell. [1:45:12] But just to show you the kind of feeling that people have, CNN did a big chart, a big survey, [1:45:21] sort of a poll, and they put it into a video. [1:45:24] And can you imagine I'm playing CNN? [1:45:26] But maybe that makes it even better. [1:45:28] Take a look at this. [1:45:29] Okay. [1:45:31] MAGA GOP on Trump. [1:45:32] In the 2024 election versus Kamala Harris, he got 99% of the MAGA GOP vote. [1:45:38] Perhaps surprisingly, I might have thought it would be 100%, but it was 99%. [1:45:42] Compare that to his approval rating now at the MAGA GOP. [1:45:45] It's 98%. [1:45:47] That is, there's been no real decline in MAGA support. [1:45:50] These folks say that they're going to vote for congressional Republicans come the midterm election. [1:45:55] Again, that's the 99% that Trump got against Kamala Harris. [1:45:59] Look now. [1:45:59] In terms of the congressional vote, 98% of them say they're going to be voting for House Republican candidates. [1:46:05] So that support is actually really holding up strong. [1:46:07] It's really, really strong when it comes to MAGA GOP and the Republicans holding on to that vote. [1:46:13] This one. [1:46:14] Okay. [1:46:14] The President Republicans most admire. [1:46:17] It's Donald Trump. [1:46:18] This is a historic comparison. [1:46:20] A majority of Republicans say, 53% say, he's the Republican president they most admire. [1:46:25] Ronald Reagan, who traditionally has won that much, Donald Trump nearly triples up on this. [1:46:30] Reagan at just 18%. [1:46:31] And then Abraham Lincoln, who by most historic accounts is the greatest president of all time, [1:46:37] but Republicans say that the president that they most admire by, what is this, this is six, seven times as many, [1:46:44] Donald John Trump at 53%, easily crushing Abe Lincoln at 8%, [1:46:48] and the Elon poll showed that he was the greatest president as well, Donald Trump. [1:46:51] I feel like this slide might end up on a printout on his desk. [1:46:56] Well, thank you. [1:46:57] Thank you. [1:46:58] Thank you very much. [1:46:59] And, well, we're going to close this out pretty soon, and I just want to tell you this has been an honor. [1:47:05] I believe I'm going to come here one more time. [1:47:07] I just have to make sure. [1:47:08] Should I? [1:47:09] I think so. [1:47:09] Because we have two weeks. [1:47:13] But, in conclusion, if you elect a Republican House and Republican Senate on November 3rd, [1:47:22] you're going to get $5,000. [1:47:24] And if we lose, you get nothing. [1:47:26] You're going to get nothing. [1:47:27] If we lose, you get nothing. [1:47:29] Make it a lot easier. [1:47:31] Make it a lot easier for them. [1:47:33] We will make all Trump tax cuts permanent because the Democrats will end them if we don't, including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. [1:47:45] We will win the war on corruption and fraud, as led by our great vice president. [1:47:51] He's doing a great job, J.D. Vance. [1:47:53] We will pass the no invasion of our country act, prohibiting any future president from ever opening our borders to illegal immigrants again. [1:48:05] We will pass a truly great healthcare plan that will stop all payments to big insurance companies, which, frankly, own the Democrats. [1:48:16] They can tell you that they own the Democrats, and we will give money directly to the people so that you can buy your own much better healthcare and have a lot of money left over, and that's being worked on right now. [1:48:29] And we will end no cash bail, and we will pass the death penalty for large-scale drug dealers, human traffickers, and anyone who kills a police officer or a man who protects, a man or woman. [1:48:46] They protect us. We're going to protect them, and that's what we're doing, and we'll pass that 100%. [1:48:51] And we will also pass the Save America Act to defend our sacred American electorate. [1:48:57] And remember, part of that is voter I.D. and proof of citizenship. [1:49:07] You have to do it. You want to vote. You want to have voter I.D. You want to have proof of citizenship. [1:49:11] And we will enshrine in permanent law no men in women's sports and no transgender mutilization of your children. [1:49:21] So, ladies and gentlemen of North Carolina, the golden age of America is upon us, but you must get out and vote, and you have to vote Republican. [1:49:31] We're going to get all these things. We have done a job like nobody thought was even possible, and to do it this quickly. [1:49:37] I'm so honored to be involved, and I'm so honored to be your president. [1:49:42] It's amazing, unbelievable, the progress that we've made, and now we're reaching new levels of greatness, [1:49:49] levels that we never thought, frankly, were going to happen, certainly not this quickly. [1:49:54] The whole world is talking about the United States of America, and they're doing it with great admiration. [1:50:00] There's no more laughing at us. They were laughing at us for four years. [1:50:04] They thought we were led by fools. They thought we were finished and were hotter than ever before. [1:50:11] So, it's my honor to be your president during this very, very exciting time, [1:50:17] because together we will make America powerful again. [1:50:24] We will make America wealthy again. [1:50:29] We will make America healthy again. [1:50:34] We will make America strong again. [1:50:39] We will make America proud again. [1:50:43] We will make America safe again. [1:50:47] And most importantly, we will make America great again. [1:50:54] Thank you, North Carolina. God bless you. [1:50:57] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Michael. [1:50:59] Thank you. [1:51:00] Thank you. [1:51:01] Thank you. [1:51:01] Thank you. [1:51:01] Thank you. [1:51:01] Thank you. [1:51:01] Thank you. [1:51:01] Thank you. [1:51:01] Thank you. [1:51:01] Thank you.

[1:51:12] Thank you. [1:51:13] Thank you. [1:51:13] Thank you. [1:51:14] Thank you. [1:51:15] Thank you. [1:51:16] Thank you. [1:51:17] Thank you.
