LIVE: Trump touts economic agenda at North Carolina rally

[0:00] more focused, healthier, and better prepared to serve. No tax on overtime [0:07] does not reward laziness. It rewards availability, reliability, and a [0:14] commitment to the mission. Firefighters are not asking for special treatment. [0:27] We're asking for fair treatment that reflects the reality of our work. No tax [0:32] on overtime recognizes that when firefighters stay late, work holidays, and [0:39] miss family milestones, they are doing it for their communities, and they should [0:46] not be taxed extra for answering that call. I want to thank, again, President [1:00] Trump for allowing me to be on this grand stage tonight, and I also want to [1:05] thank President Trump for signing the Fallen Heroes Act and updating the [1:10] National Defense Authorization Act. By doing this, you have honored our fallen [1:17] heroes. God bless you all. [1:51] Ladies and gentlemen, please [1:52] welcome to the stage Marla DeLane. [1:56] Thank you, Mr. President and Rocky Mount. My name is Marla, and I'm a conservative Christian. So a little bit about myself, I'm a wife of 25 years to a [2:35] wonderful husband and a mother to four amazing children. Blessed is an [2:39] understatement. I've had the privilege of working as a [2:43] hairstylist for almost 27 years, and when someone is in my chair, we talk politics, [2:49] we talk real life, we share stories, and we share struggles, [2:53] and I really enjoy being a part of my clients' lives. Working hard for something [2:58] we love is called passion. I have a passion for making Rocky Mount prettier, [3:03] a passion for making the people prettier, and fortunately, I get paid to do that. [3:10] Our city is full of hairstylists such as myself, [3:14] restaurant workers, and blue-collar workers, that will greatly benefit from [3:18] the no-tax-on-tips-in-overtime policy being passed. Every dollar counts and [3:24] every dollar helps. For a family size like my husband's and mine, this affords [3:29] the opportunity for us not to struggle paying bills and allows us to enjoy [3:33] entertainment that we've not been able to afford in the last four years. My city [3:39] is home, a place that is very special to me, and as a lifelong resident I want to [3:44] see it thrive again as it once was. Thanks to President Trump, the American [3:49] Dream is alive once again in Rocky Mount and North Carolina. No tax on tips and [3:55] overtime will make Rocky Mount great again. Thank you Rocky Mount and thank [4:04] you President Trump. Ladies and gentlemen please welcome to the stage local [4:39] entrepreneurs Lori and Martin Aragona. Merry Christmas Rocky Mount. For 50 [5:24] something years I've managed to avoid public speaking and now here I am [5:30] speaking in front of thousands of people before President Trump takes the stage. [5:35] But what an honor to be here. [5:37] Martin, my husband and I grew up in Onslaught County, home of Camp Lejeune. [5:45] We've been small business owners and builders since 1997. Nothing affects a [5:56] construction company more than interest rates and inflation. President Trump had [6:02] interest rates at 3% during his first term. They went up to 9% under [6:10] President Biden. [6:14] But President Trump is working hard to bring them back down again. We all know that [6:25] he will. In Onslaught County we have a lot of young first-time homebuyers, many of whom [6:32] are young military families. The Biden interest rates completely priced them [6:38] out of the market, taking away the American dream of owning a home. But let [6:45] me mention the good news we received yesterday. The inflation rate is much [6:51] less than expected. Does anybody know what it came in at? 2.7% under Biden. The inflation [7:08] rate reached 9.1%. That's more than three times the 2.7 rate. What a difference ten [7:20] months makes. And what a difference a new president makes. Here's how inflation affects [7:34] the cost of a home. Under President Trump's first term, a piece of OSB plywood was $8.50. [7:40] That's a lot of money. [7:41] That's a lot of money. [7:42] That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. [7:43] That's a lot of money. [7:44] That's a lot of money. [7:45] That's a lot of money. [7:46] That's a lot of money. [7:47] That's a lot of money. [7:49] $9.50 aboard. Do you know how much it rose to under President Biden? $60 [7:50] aboard. That increase costs, on average, $15,000 more for a home just on the plywood alone. [8:03] This affects affordability and puts the American dream further out of reach. [8:10] In closing, we would also like to thank President Trump for his tariff policies. As builders, [8:18] we want to build American homes. [8:20] we want to use american-made products and we want to buy american lumber thank you so much [8:27] for this opportunity to speak to you we look forward to a great and prosperous 2026 with [8:35] lower inflation and lower interest rates god bless america and god bless president trump [8:46] ladies and gentlemen please welcome to the stage president of the north carolina state senate [9:28] state senator phil berger wow hello i'm phil berger i'm the republican senate leader right [10:05] here in north carolina isn't it great to have president trump back do better than that isn't [10:14] it great to have you know president trump is working overtime to deliver for the hard-working [10:23] americans who suffered under biden inflation and the other failed far-left policies you know 11 [10:31] months ago president trump returned to the oval office [10:34] and immediately started cleaning up the messes that joe biden had created first he closed the [10:46] southern border cleaning up a mess and when mayors and governors and some sheriffs you know which ones [10:58] refuse to hold criminal illegal aliens accountable for the chaos and crime they commit president [11:04] trump showed true leadership by cleaning up streets in many of america's cities you know and [11:19] since the time of my administration president trump has spoke up to his [11:50] government and it's true to the state of carolina i think that president trump is taking the right [11:52] steps to make sure he can make sure that people are safe and that we can get our kids and families [11:53] back where they belong and that one and all are safe and they will be safe and we will be [11:55] safe and we will be good news and good news for every single one of our subcontractors we'll see [11:56] in the next couple of months and every single one since the election and and i know that's the state [11:56] of the state and i know that's the state of the state and i know that's the state of the state [11:57] the two sexes, male and female, in North Carolina state law, defining them based on biology, [12:15] not ideology. Now, get this, just to understand how far off the Democrats are. North Carolina [12:27] Democrats in the state Senate were so afraid of reality, so afraid of biology, so afraid [12:35] of common sense, and so afraid of defining the two sexes, that they actually offered [12:42] to pay a fine rather than take a vote. Bigger boo than that. And you know who's not afraid [12:52] to define the two sexes? Donald Trump. North Carolina Republicans also passed major energy [13:05] reform that followed President Trump's drill, baby, drill energy goals, and drill, baby, [13:15] drill, and prevent. [13:17] They provided an avenue to kickstart nuclear energy production in the United States. Just [13:29] like President Trump, Republicans in North Carolina, Republicans in the North Carolina [13:34] legislature are fighting for you and fighting for your families. Again, I'm Phil Berger. [13:41] Thank you for being here. Thank you. Thank you for supporting a return of American greatness. [13:48] God bless you. God bless North Carolina. God bless America. And God bless President Trump. [13:53] And gentlemen, welcome to the stage, former chairman of the RNC, Michael Watley. [14:30] To say Merry Christmas? I think it is. I think it is. You know, it is so good to have President [15:24] Trump back here in North Carolina, the only battleground state that he carried in 2016 [15:33] and 2020 and 2024. [15:37] I was talking with the president not too long ago. I was talking with the president not too long ago. [15:48] I said, you know, 10 years ago, almost to the day, I got a call from Trump Tower asking me to run [15:58] North Carolina for his campaign. And I remember the reaction that I got from everybody in my [16:05] family and everybody in my workplace and my employees and my staff and everybody else when [16:11] they said, you're going to do what? You know, you remember at the time, Donald Trump was 15th out of [16:19] 15 in the Republican primary. [16:22] He had 1% in the polls. And you know why I said yes? Because that man came down the escalator and [16:30] said he was going to make America great. It wasn't just a platform. It wasn't just a platitude or a [16:41] campaign speech. It was a plan. He's going to rebuild our economy. He's going to restore our [16:48] borders. He's going to make sure that America is respected again. And when we shocked the world [16:54] and beat Hillary Clinton in 2016, that's exactly what we're going to do. [16:57] That's exactly what he did. And I never imagined that that call would lead me to getting another call [17:08] to be the chair of the North Carolina Republican Party in the 2020 election cycle. And another call [17:15] where he asked me to be the RNC chair and help run his campaign last year. And what a campaign [17:21] he ran last year. And right now, what we are all living through and we're all witness to [17:31] is the most transformational national. [17:35] The presidential term in our lifetime. Because Donald Trump has gone right back to the basics. [17:43] He's rebuilding our economy right now. He has restored our borders. Six months in a row, not one [17:53] single illegal alien has been caught and released into the United States. And America is absolutely [18:05] respected again around the world. Now, I was not expecting you to get a call a few weeks ago, [18:15] but I did. When the president called, he said, you know, Michael, Tom Tillis is not going to be running [18:20] for reelect. So here's the deal. You're going to run and you're going to win and you're going to [18:27] do great. So congratulations. And I called my wife and I told her about that call. She said, [18:38] you need to stop taking this guy's calls. But I am so excited to be running for Senate [18:45] here in North Carolina because you need a conservative champion and Donald Trump needs [18:51] an ally in the Senate. I have friends in this room and I got some folks I haven't met. [19:04] So let me tell you about me. I grew up in Blowing Rock, North Carolina, a tiny little town on the [19:11] Blue Ridge Parkway, 534 people. I'm a son of the middle class. My dad was an accountant. My mom was [19:18] the town librarian. I went to church. I played sports and I worked. I had a paper route. I mowed [19:27] lawns. I got my first full time job when I was 14. I paid my way through college. I paid my way [19:33] through graduate school. I paid my way through law school. [19:37] North Carolina gave me, North Carolina and America gave me an opportunity to live the [19:45] American dream, to be a son of the middle class, to be able to have a career, to be able to marry [19:51] the woman that I love and raise a family with three amazing kids. And it also gave me the [20:02] opportunity to work with the greatest president of our lifetime, Donald J. Trump. Now I'm running [20:14] for Senate because I want to fight. I want to fight every single day for you. [20:18] I want to fight for every family and for every community in this state. We need economic policies [20:25] that are going to create jobs, raise wages, lower prices. We need to keep our kids and our [20:33] communities safe. And we need to make sure that our men and women in uniform have what they need [20:39] to protect our interests at home, overseas, and the interests of our allies. Now we have an [20:51] opponent in this race, former Governor Roy Cooper. [21:01] Roy Cooper has been the governor of this great state. He's been elected for 38 years. [21:09] This is a man who, over the course of his career, has fought harder for criminals than [21:15] he did victims. People remember back in 2020, the violent riots with Antifa and BLM burning [21:23] down our cities, and Roy Cooper out there marching with the protesters. Y'all remember [21:30] that picture? [21:31] Yeah. [21:32] Yeah. You're going to see it a lot over the next couple of years. [21:33] You're going to see it a lot over the next year, let me tell you that. But people don't [21:36] necessarily remember that he went at that time and signed an executive order to reimagine [21:41] law enforcement in North Carolina. We don't need to reimagine law enforcement. We need [21:46] to back the blue, and we need to enforce the law. Roy Cooper created Cassius Bale in North [22:00] Carolina. He created pretrial release. He created a revolving door that put criminals [22:06] on the street again and again and again. Everybody remembers Irena Zurodska, beautiful young woman. [22:12] Beautiful young lady, escapes Ukraine and moves to Charlotte. She's working in a pizzeria, [22:18] gets off at 11.30, gets on the wrong light rail car, sits in the wrong seat. And DeCarlos [22:25] Brown Jr. slit her throat. If you haven't seen that video, do not go watch it. It's [22:31] horrific. DeCarlos Brown should have never been on that light rail car. He should have [22:37] never been on the streets. He had been arrested and released 14 different times and was out [22:42] without bail. [22:44] We do not need Roy Cooper soft on crimes. [22:47] policies in North Carolina. Roy Cooper, who vetoed legislation that would tell [22:56] sheriffs that they have to honor ice detainers and move violent criminal [22:59] illegal aliens out of North Carolina. Roy Cooper, who vetoed legislation to keep [23:07] boys out of girls sports and men out of women's locker rooms and woke out of our [23:11] schools. Roy Cooper, who will fight harder for criminals. He will fight harder for [23:19] illegal aliens and men who want to play in women's sports than he will for the [23:24] people of North Carolina. We can do better. Now I got to tell you when we [23:36] talk about Donald Trump and we talk about the economy, let's take a look at [23:41] what he ran on. He ran on a policy that is going to help our farmers, going to [23:49] help our manufacturers, going to help our small businesses. He's going to create [23:53] jobs, he's going to raise wages, he's going to have tax policies and trade [23:57] policies and regulatory policies and [23:59] that are going to help our farmers, like our tobacco farmers here in Rocky [24:04] Mountain and Eastern North Carolina. And we're seeing that positive impact [24:13] already. 700,000 jobs have been created in the private sector since Donald Trump [24:18] was first put into office, sworn in on the 20th. Wages are up. Real wages are up [24:27] 4.5% over year over year and we are seeing inflation already coming down. [24:34] 9% in 2022 and 2023. 30% [24:38] while Joe Biden was president. It cost twice as much to buy a house in 2024 [24:43] as it did in 2020 for the same exact house. Donald Trump is fighting every day [24:48] for you. That's why he's here tonight and we need to make sure that we are going [24:53] to welcome him here with open arms. Are we going to be able to do that? So we [25:06] have an opportunity in America. We have an opportunity in America because of you. [25:12] Because you stood up and delivered for Donald Trump in 2016. Because you stood [25:18] stood up and supported him and delivered North Carolina for him in 2020. [25:24] You delivered for him in that historic win last year in 2024. [25:30] And now we need you one more time. [25:33] Because if the Democrats win the House, if the Democrats win the Senate, we are going [25:38] to go right back to investigations and hoaxes and impeachments. [25:45] You see, the Senate race is ultimately about a vote. [25:50] It's about a vote in the Senate. [25:53] It's about a vote that Roy Cooper would cast every single time with Chuck Schumer, with [25:58] Jasmine Crockett, with AOC, with Bernie Sanders, with a woke mob that he is a card-carrying [26:09] member of. [26:11] I'm going to cast a vote for the America First agenda. [26:14] I'm going to cast a vote for you. [26:16] I'm going to cast a vote for North Carolina. [26:18] I'm running for Senate because I believe that you need a conservative champion and Donald [26:27] Trump needs an ally in Washington. [26:29] And I cannot do that. [26:30] I cannot do it without you. [26:32] And I need your support. [26:42] So let me start where we finished. [26:45] It is absolutely fantastic to have the President of the United States, not just the 45th, the [26:52] 47th President of the United States right back here in Rocky Mountain. [27:01] And I really hope that all of you and all of North Carolina have a very Merry Christmas. [27:08] Thank you, North Carolina. [27:09] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage the United States Secretary of Defense, [28:49] the Department of Labor, Lurie Chavez de Riemer. [28:50] What a great speech. [28:51] You've heard so many great speeches tonight. [28:52] And I couldn't be more honored to be here right before the President here in Rocky Mount. [29:15] And thank you, Michael. [29:20] You did an outstanding job leading our party to victory last November. [29:21] And I'm confident you will make North Carolina proud as the next senator. [29:22] You know, as we close out the first year of 5-1-2, we're going to have a lot of fun. [29:23] We're going to have a lot of fun. [29:24] We're going to have a lot of fun. [29:25] We're going to have a lot of fun. [29:26] We're going to have a lot of fun. [29:27] We're going to have a lot of fun. [29:28] We're going to have a lot of fun. [29:29] We're going to have a lot of fun. [29:34] We're going to have a lot of fun. [29:35] John, you did an outstanding job leading our party to victory last November. [29:40] And I'm confident you will make North Carolina proud as the next senator. [29:45] You know, as we close out the first year of fighting to put American workers first, it's [29:57] fitting that we're here in the heart of America's advanced manufacturing revival. [30:03] President Trump has been laser-focused on building the golden age of the American industry. [30:09] For too long, Washington politicians let critical sectors of our economy, the building blocks of our great nation, get ripped apart by cheap foreign labor. [30:23] But not anymore. Not under the president of the American worker. [30:30] As your secretary of labor, I'm working with President Trump to make sure American jobs go to American workers first. [30:39] And we've made significant progress in 2025. [30:50] In a complete reversal from Biden, when job growth was padded by foreign and federal government workers, [30:57] all net growth under President Trump has been in the private sector, and they've gone to American-born workers. [31:05] Us, this country, can rest assured knowing we have a strong America-first leader in the White House who has their backs. [31:19] That's why I'm confident. [31:21] When I say thanks to President Trump and the common-sense policies of this administration, the golden age of America is on the horizon. [31:31] Workers lost nearly $3,000 in purchasing power as inflation rose faster than wages. [31:46] But under Trump, inflation just hit its lowest, 2.7% since the spring of 2021. [31:53] And real wages have increased by over 1,000%. [31:58] That's a $4,000 delta the president had to make up for the nonsense of the Biden administration. [32:09] And as a mom of twin girls and a new grandmother, I know just how important those dollars are to the working families of this country. [32:22] Trump's deregulatory efforts are saving $2,100 for a family of four. [32:26] And under my direction, at the Labor Department, [32:30] we have rescinded the discriminatory DEI requirements that will lower compliance costs of up to $1 billion a year. [32:47] That is what we are saving American employers in this country. [32:50] And let's not forget, the largest tax cut in American history. [32:55] With no tax on tips, overtime, or social security. [32:59] I served in Congress, and I can tell you this. [33:02] That was the biggest piece of legislation that my colleagues would ever vote on, probably. [33:05] And that's what we're saving for the American people. [33:07] in history and it's for the American people thanks to work the working family [33:17] tax cut a family and four in North Carolina will see about seven to ten [33:22] thousand dollars back in their pockets and more in their take-home pay you get [33:27] to keep the money that you've earned and that you deserve not give it to the [33:31] federal government from Jason and Marla about how much this will mean to them [33:40] and thank you for sharing your stories and I also want to give a shout out to [33:44] Jason who spoke on behalf of the International Firefighters Association [33:47] the men and women and our law enforcement and all of our detail are [33:51] here give them a round of applause and for our veterans [33:55] finally reversing Biden's cost of living disaster that have hurt so many working [34:07] families we are going to create more mortgage-paying jobs president Trump is [34:13] focused on a making America dominant in the manufacturing space again to help [34:18] our communities thrive [34:20] you know I have worked under this president for the last year as the labor [34:25] secretary with all the secretaries he is a master negotiator I can tell you that [34:31] you see him in the Oval Office he's the most transparent president we've ever [34:35] had and every cabinet meeting is on TV for the American people to see we're [34:44] putting American interests first on the striking the new trade deals to restore [34:48] the u.s. as the world's manufacturing superpower more than 18 trillion dollars [34:54] in investments will bring [34:55] hundreds of thousands of new jobs to this country made in America is back [35:01] US exports and our trade deficits shrank by more than 35 percent over this last [35:08] year this administration is finally leveling the playing field for the [35:13] American workers manufacturers creating an economy that works for you not [35:18] against you it is time for the federal government to be your ally not your [35:23] adversary [35:31] the Labor Department will keep President Trump's promise to put American workers [35:35] first. We are investing in skilled training and educational pathways to [35:40] help American workers get a foot in the door without needing a costly four-year [35:44] degree. You know that the future of this country won't be forged in the halls [35:49] of these woke universities. It will be built by the hands of our skilled [35:53] workers. That's why President Trump set a goal for me through an executive order [36:02] 1 million active apprentices across this country and since January we have [36:08] registered more than 300,000 new apprentices and over 2,300 new [36:13] apprenticeship programs. I'm also working closely with Secretary McMahon to [36:20] dismantle the federal bureaucracy that has failed our students at every single [36:25] turn. Do you know that nearly 70% of 4th and 8th graders aren't proficient in [36:31] reading? The current top-down structure is no longer working and we're returning [36:36] to that. [36:36] We're bringing the power back to where it belongs. We're gonna empower parents and [36:40] we're gonna empower the states to educate their kids so that they can go [36:43] out and get the job that they want. By creating a streamlined federal education [36:52] and workforce system we are bridging the gap between post-secondary education and [36:57] the labor market to address the shortages and fill those mortgage-paying [37:02] jobs. You know as I wrap up here I want to first wish you all a Merry Christmas [37:07] and a Happy New Year with your families. [37:10] It's truly an honor to fight for you and defend your shot at the American dream. [37:21] No matter your background or industry President Trump's Department of Labor [37:25] has your back. I thank and think about you all on this issue. He is without a [37:33] doubt the greatest president in my lifetime and I know that he's the [37:38] greatest president in your lifetime. The American worker has no greater friend or [37:49] ally than President Donald J. Trump. [37:51] Thank you. [37:51] And as we head into 2026 I promise you this, we're gonna keep up the momentum. [37:57] We're gonna make your lives affordable again. We will double down on the efforts [38:02] to put American workers first and build the golden age of economic prosperity. [38:07] Thank you all for welcoming me to your homes and I wish you again Merry [38:12] Christmas, Happy New Year. It's an honor to serve in this administration. [54:02] Let's go to North Carolina. We want to appreciate it. We'll never [54:10] there'll never be anything like this you know you say let's go to North Carolina [54:14] we'll get this great crowd. Outside you have people. It's crazy. [54:18] We're having a great time and you know these ladies right here? [54:22] I think over 200 rallies but I'm not going to say it. And this time I made it easy [54:30] because they come from North Carolina they didn't have to travel. Today they [54:34] traveled about a half an hour right? Isn't that nice? Instead of traveling all over [54:37] the country. They're unbelievable. And you look better than you've ever looked [54:42] and I'm not allowed to say that. [54:44] say that if you say a woman looks beautiful which you do it's the end of your political career but [54:50] i don't care you look beautiful well i'm thrilled to be back in this incredible state with so many [54:57] proud hard-working american patriots which is what you are let me begin by wishing each and [55:03] every one of you a very merry christmas remember they didn't want to say merry christmas when i [55:12] first started 2016 we don't want to say merry christmas they said i said no we're going to [55:17] bring back christmas and they don't say that anymore they don't want to say

the history of our country [55:34] it has been isn't that a big statement but it's a statement that you read all over the place i [55:44] mean who could have done better i don't think anybody could have done better than us not me [55:48] than us the world we're in this together since my inauguration we've created more [55:54] than 53 000 north carolina jobs including 8 000 north carolina construction jobs more than 150 [56:05] 000 north carolina residents have been lifted off of food stamps they're very happy about that [56:12] and after your horrible hurricane which produced more water damage than any hurricane in history [56:18] the democrats let you down they really did remember they wouldn't do anything [56:23] remember they wouldn't go to your community they wouldn't do anything [56:27] you had to wait till january 20th when i took office that we really knocked the hell out of [56:32] it remember as soon as i took office i got in on january 20th and i first thing i did was made [56:41] north carolina phone calls and we did a hell of a job did a hell of a job you'd still be sitting in [56:47] the mud if i didn't get elected you would be people were sitting in the mud but i helped [56:53] rebuild your state and i didn't get any help from the democrats not your governor not your man [56:58] that's running by the way for [57:00] senate against michael whatley who's phenomenal michael whatley is incredible [57:04] the previous governor was a disaster he's also a radical left person by the way he's radical left [57:11] you don't want him he doesn't represent you you just and look at the crime look at what's going [57:16] on with all the crime here the slitting throats and stuff i didn't i never saw that with you [57:22] now all of a sudden that's what we see you got to get michael whatley it's going to be [57:26] so important he was so great don't forget i took michael and i put him as the head of the government [57:32] head of the party because he did so great we won the state all three times [57:37] and it was like a rock he didn't allow cheating in the second time I watched [57:44] all these states boom boom were leading people went to sleep it was over then [57:50] they dropped balance all that they cheated like hell the only good thing is [57:54] this is a far better term than it would have been had I done it the more [57:59] traditional way it really is some more powerful care it's a more powerful term [58:05] and the biggest news of all is yesterday it was announced that [58:09] inflation is far lower than anybody expected I told you beating every the 61 [58:18] forecast from the so called geniuses the experts with the genius is not now we [58:24] now have the lowest core inflation since March of 2021 and we're just getting [58:29] started it's unbelievable and that's despite taking in billions and billions [58:38] and billions hundreds of billions of [58:40] dollars in tariffs remember they said all the tariffs will cost inflation just came out with [58:44] the best inflation report we've had in years and lots of cash too in fact 1776 right 1776 [59:02] goes to our military you know it's 1775 and that was the number you know that was just a [59:10] lump i said you know if we had one dollar we got 1776 somebody said that's genius i said [59:19] well i'm smart i said for one dollar and i'll get these ladies who are loaded with money to pay for [59:26] it from north carolina their husbands can write a check in two seconds take care of it no think [59:33] of it for one dollar more they said i can't believe we didn't think of that only hours ago [59:38] i left a meeting at the white house where we cut the cost of prescription drugs by 300 [59:43] 400 500 and even 600 and i'm doing what no politician of either party has ever done before [59:53] standing up to the special interests and demanding lower prices for the american people this is what [59:57] we're doing you know it's called favored nations and nations all over the world were screwing us [1:00:05] we would have prices that were 10 times higher than the prices they were charging in london and [1:00:12] in paris and all over [1:00:15] all [1:00:16] over the world we had the highest prices for drugs because we had politicians that wouldn't [1:00:20] i did it at the beginning at the first but then we had a thing called [1:00:24] you know what happened covet and it was sort of hard to go after france and italy say listen on [1:00:31] top of all your covert all over the place with everyone dying we want you to pay a lot of money [1:00:35] for drugs you can't do it but we did it and we nobody's ever even thought of doing it before [1:00:40] i've negotiated and really did it directly with 17 of the world's largest drug companies [1:00:46] drug companies as well as foreign nations that were taking advantage of [1:00:50] your country for decades many decades for years americans have been paying the highest drug prices [1:00:56] anywhere in the world by far 10 times more sometimes 15 times more while other countries [1:01:03] pay drastically less for the exact same drug made in the exact same plant in the exact same country [1:01:11] but under my most favorite nation you know what that means it's a legal term drug pricing [1:01:18] executive order i just i just signed a couple of months ago and is now being implemented we have [1:01:26] declared that the united states will now pay the same price as the lowest price of any country [1:01:33] anywhere and we should honestly this is the biggest thing to happen in medicine i think [1:01:46] since the founding of our country you know i don't mind [1:01:53] they actually have a great location you know we've had people that look so good [1:01:58] behind me that some of them went to hollywood and actually did very well you know see they may have [1:02:06] a better location but nobody's going to hollywood they can only see the back of your head look at [1:02:10] all the television look at all those cameras it's crazy but we uh we did something nobody's ever done [1:02:18] before nobody's tried nobody thought they could do it don't forget the bigger the drug companies [1:02:24] turned out to really do the right thing they really did but and they were there at the white house [1:02:30] the biggest companies in the world were there the rest of them are coming next week [1:02:34] but the big problem was foreign countries they would have to take their drug and [1:02:38] raise it from 10 to 20 to 30 maybe to 100 maybe 10 times more but it really doesn't work that way [1:02:47] because the world is a bigger place than the u.s and so you're not gonna have to raise it that much [1:02:53] but you have to raise it and they always said for 50 years they say let the united states pay and for [1:03:01] the United States got screwed because we're paying so much more drug that was [1:03:05] selling for ten dollars in London sells for one hundred and thirty dollars it's [1:03:11] thirteen times more New York thirteen times or so ten dollars in London hundred [1:03:17] and thirty dollars in New York and now that drug will go up for the other [1:03:22] country from ten dollars to only twenty dollars or maybe thirty dollars and it [1:03:29] will come down from the United States of America to twenty dollars from one [1:03:34] hundred and thirty dollars think of that that's the biggest price reduction when [1:03:45] you talk about you talk about cutting prices cutting costs and cutting prices [1:03:49] you talk about affordability you know the Democrats they're the ones that got [1:03:54] us into the mess they're the ones that caused the high prices and then they [1:03:59] come out and they look and they look at those fake news people back there you [1:04:03] know [1:04:04] elections about affordability they go let's talk about it no I'd rather not [1:04:10] talk about it because they can't they're the ones that cause they cause the [1:04:13] highest inflation in the history of our country which led to the highest prices [1:04:17] in the history of our country I inherited the mess I got the prices down [1:04:22] and they're going down silver they look at gasoline a lot of areas now in our [1:04:26] country $1.99 a gallon it cost these ladies from North these beautiful [1:04:37] friends of mine from North Carolina it cost them [1:04:40] like [1:04:41] I don't think it cost any one third to get here that it would have cost on the [1:04:45] sleepy Joe Biden right if you drive you this time you can drive first time you [1:04:51] didn't have to take an airplane but we had nine block boss to bus to are [1:04:55] greeners we had nine of them with the big drug companies just today the rest [1:04:59] of coming over the next couple of weeks but the first dramatic drug discounts [1:05:04] will be available to all Americans starting in January at a thing called [1:05:09] Trump Rx dot gov Trump Rx dot gov [1:05:15] ever to happen on drug prices, pharmaceutical prices. It will also tremendously, it's going [1:05:21] to reduce the cost of healthcare because healthcare is probably 50% about drugs, right? Your drugs [1:05:27] are coming down at levels that nobody ever thought was possible. This achievement alone [1:05:33] should win us the midterms. You know, if we did nothing else, I said today, I said, you [1:05:39] know, you're talking about like this massive reduction in drug prices that affects everybody, [1:05:46] older people, younger people, middle-aged people, sick people, well people. It's not just like [1:05:52] patients, it's everybody. It can never happen. Nobody would ever have done this. It was very [1:05:58] hard to do. I had countries laughing at me. I said, listen, you're going to have to double and [1:06:03] triple your drug prices. They said, France, as an example, UK, European Union, [1:06:11] they said, you must be kidding. They've had low prices for years. The drug companies would go, [1:06:18] could you pay more? No, no. They wanted the drug companies, in all fairness, to charge [1:06:24] the United States of America. And they made up all sorts of crap. Well, research and development. [1:06:30] I said, well, what about research and development? Why aren't they paying also for research? Well, [1:06:34] it just never worked that way. They used to use, remember, research and development, [1:06:37] that's why we pay more. I say, 12 times more? Why? For research and development. [1:06:42] It was all a con job. But I'd say the head of France, as an example, I'm sorry, [1:06:49] but you're going to have to double or triple your prices for drugs. No, no, no, we will not do that. [1:06:56] Oh, yes, you will. I said, yes, you will. No, no, no, we will not do that. Of course, [1:07:02] we will not. I can't do that. I said, yes, you will. No, I won't. Yes, you will. And he said, [1:07:11] why do you have such certainty? I said, because if you don't do it, I'm going to charge you a 25 [1:07:16] percent tariff on everything you sell into America. And I said, because that was really [1:07:28] the sticking point. They just would do it. They told the drug companies for years, we're not doing [1:07:33] it. We're keeping that pill at $10. We're not going to raise it. And the drug companies said, [1:07:39] well, you know, it's unfair. I mean, they're paying, they're paying 10 times more, sometimes [1:07:45] 15 times more. That's OK. Let them pay more. We're not paying more than that. The prices were [1:07:51] stuck for years and no president did anything. [1:07:55] Sleepy Joe Biden didn't know he was alive. The last thing he cared about, the last thing he cared [1:08:03] about was this. He didn't care about anything. Just wanted to make it through. But but they [1:08:11] cheated. Look, he was surrounded by radical left. Hey, did you see on Mar-a-Lago? Did you see how [1:08:17] corrupt that was now? It's all come out. It's all come out. Some life. It's all come out. They were [1:08:25] totally corrupt, radical left lunatics, not stupid people, by the way. He was, [1:08:29] but the people that really ran the country and that really ran the auto pen, they were not stupid. [1:08:35] But think about what we've done under the Trump administration. America will not be ripped off [1:08:42] any longer. So can you imagine these countries? And when I told you the example before from $10 [1:08:53] to 20, you know, that doesn't sound like much, but it's a doubling of the price. You know, [1:08:57] that's a doubling of the price. And if it went to 30 or 35 or 40, you know, that's still a [1:09:03] doubling, tripling. [1:09:04] Quadrupling of the price. But I said at 25% tariff, it's much more money than what you're [1:09:12] talking about. So they would say to me, every all countries, you know, obviously they said no at the [1:09:17] beginning and they would have told a normal president no. And that would have been the end [1:09:22] of the conversation. So they said no to me. And I said, no, no, you'll do it. 100%. And they said, [1:09:28] what's wrong with this? 100%. I said, 100% that you're going to do it. The one asked me, why are [1:09:36] you saying that? Why would you say that I would quadruple the price of drugs in France or someplace? [1:09:42] I said, because if you don't, we're going to charge you a 25% tariff. That tariff is worth five times [1:09:49] more money than you're talking about. And there was dead silence on the phone. And then when the [1:09:57] gentleman, Emmanuel, he's a wonderful guy. When he spoke, he said, you have a deal. He's a nice guy. [1:10:14] But you can't blame him. You know, there's been four, [1:10:17] 40, 50 years. You can't blame him. But it was the same conversation with everybody. No, no, no, [1:10:23] we can't do that. No, no, I don't. I cannot double the price of my drugs. I said, no, no, [1:10:28] maybe triple or quadruple. But it's still much lower than we were playing. You know, [1:10:33] we were paying a number that was crazy, 13, 14 times more. As president, I'm also taking in [1:10:39] the gigantic health insurance companies that have gotten rich on billions of dollars of government [1:10:43] subsidies. And I want the money to go directly to the people. I want the money to go directly to the [1:10:48] people so that they can buy their own health insurance, which will give far better benefits at [1:10:55] much lower costs. By the way, what I told you about buying the drugs at this massive dollar [1:11:01] discount, it's like from where it is, that's going to have a huge impact on the cost of of health [1:11:09] care. The current Unaffordable Care Act, commonly known as Barack Hussein Obamacare, was created to [1:11:19] make insurance companies rich. [1:11:21] It was bad health care at much too high a cost. And you see now that the steep increase in [1:11:32] premiums that's being demanded by the Democrats, it was never any good Obamacare. It was done for [1:11:38] the benefit of insurance companies which totally control the Democrats. That's why you could have [1:11:44] a strike on January 30th. You could have another shutdown because the Democrats are totally in the [1:11:51] hands of they're totally controlled by the insurance companies, big wealthy companies. [1:11:56] Again, I want the money to go directly to the people. So you can buy your own health care and you'll get much better health care at a much lower price. [1:12:12] And the only insurance companies that have gotten rich. How about these companies? Some of them have gone up 1400% their stock prices. [1:12:23] One, I think went up 1700%. How many people have ever bought a stock that went up 1700%? And think of it. They've taken in billions and billions of dollars. [1:12:35] hours. And the Democrat Party is also just, you know, it's look, I don't know. I don't know what [1:12:42] they're going to do, because I don't know how anybody beats us when we say that we want the [1:12:46] money to go to the people so you can buy your own health care. How can it ever be better than that? [1:12:50] I wanted to do that at the beginning in 2016. But the politicians told me, sir, don't worry. [1:12:57] You know, I was a little bit inexperienced. I never did. I've never done this before. Now I'm [1:13:01] quite experienced. I've seen things that nobody would have thought possible. But I said then I [1:13:07] said, why do we have this crazy Obamacare or as we call it, the unaffordable? Isn't that a great [1:13:15] name? The Affordable Care Act. I call it the Unaffordable Care Act. I should get credit. [1:13:21] That's a good one. What's better, that or fake news? That or Pocahontas? That? I can't use the [1:13:29] names that I used of the Republicans to gain access to the election. But we had some good [1:13:35] names. [1:13:36] But I think the Unaffordable Care Act is pretty good. The UCA, right? You know, they keep talking [1:13:43] about the ACA. Think of that. Instead of the ACA, we call it the UCA. The UCA, they say, what is [1:13:51] that? The Unaffordable Care Act? It is unaffordable. But it was always no good. But now it's really [1:13:56] gone. With time, it gets worse. Now it's going to be hit big. Remember, I didn't do this. This is [1:14:01] Obamacare. This is Obamacare. This isn't Trump. But you don't need it because let the money not [1:14:08] go to the individual. [1:14:08] The problem is the Democrats will shut down the government because they are totally beholden. [1:14:15] I don't love that word, but they're beholden. They're beholden to the insurance companies. [1:14:23] So I don't know what they can do about it. But, you know, they'll probably close down [1:14:26] the government. It's so simple. The money should go to the people. The people should [1:14:32] then take all of this money and buy the best health care there is. And there'll be a lot [1:14:39] of money left over. [1:14:40] But they're not going to do it. They're not going to do it. They're not going to do it. [1:14:54] You cannot be happy. But that's OK with me, because you, the hardworking citizens. And [1:14:59] finally, you're going to have great health care at the right price. So you're going to [1:15:02] have it. Although today I did suggest one thing, because when I was watching these big [1:15:07] drug companies get up and talk about things, they were giving free medicine. I mean, they [1:15:12] couldn't have been nicer. They couldn't have been better. And then we, you know, give it [1:15:15] as a hard time a while ago, but it worked out good. [1:15:18] I said, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to call these insurance companies fat [1:15:23] cats. They are fat cats. [1:15:25] I'm gonna call the insurance companies and I'm gonna set up a meeting with them all of them and maybe I'll have the same [1:15:32] Luck that we had with the health companies with the pharmaceuticals and the drug companies that we had [1:15:39] So rather than just saying we're not gonna deal [1:15:41] Maybe they'll give us a deal like cut the price by 50% and maybe then it's just to make sense [1:15:46] So I'm gonna meet with them [1:15:51] And I'll either be in Florida. I'm going to Florida. I'll either meet in Florida because I work all the time [1:15:58] So I'll leave the meet in Florida or I'll meet in Washington the first week after right after we all come back to going to [1:16:06] Our wonderful jobs and I'll sit down with it's like 12 13 people, you know, it's basically these big monster companies [1:16:15] 13 14 if I want to be generous get 14 people in a room and let's see what happens [1:16:20] Maybe they'll surprise us, but maybe we'll ask them for a 50% cut and maybe they'll give it [1:16:25] You know, you never know you saw what happened with the drug companies [1:16:29] They want to give they giving free drugs to I mean they did they've been unbelievable [1:16:34] But they do love our country and I probably think the insurance company guys love our country [1:16:39] They just felt they were dealing with stupid people. So you can't really blame them over the past 11 months [1:16:45] We have brought more positive change to Washington than any administration in the history of our country [1:16:51] That's true. And there's never been anything like it when I took office last January [1:17:00] I inherited a mess and very simply I am fixing [1:17:04] It Joe Biden gave us the worst inflation in the history of our country [1:17:09] A lot of people say, you know, the fake news says it's not the worst in history. It's the worst in 48 years [1:17:16] Oh, okay. No, they do. They say 48 years is okay. But when I say history they go crazy [1:17:23] That's when I let them win. I say I'm sorry apologize. I like that at 47 [1:17:29] Nice actually beautiful nice thread gold thread. I watch that myself. I went gold thread not mustard colored, you know [1:17:42] No, they give you a lot of times. They sell you mustard color. It cost them a lot less [1:17:47] We don't accept those hats when you have a mustard colored thread don't accept it [1:17:51] But it caused the prices to be higher than ever before making it really life unaffordable for millions and millions of Americans [1:18:00] our border was open and our country was being invaded by an army of [1:18:06] 25 million people many came from prisons and jails mental institutions and insane asylums [1:18:13] You know [1:18:13] The difference between a prison and a jail a prisons more severe [1:18:17] You know the difference between a mental institution and an insane asylum and a sane asylum is more severe [1:18:25] They came from both they were drug dealers gang members and over [1:18:31] 13,000 murderers more than 50% of whom killed more than one person think of that [1:18:36] They killed more than one a lot of them said, oh I didn't mean but you know when you kill more than one [1:18:42] Get him to hell out of our country [1:18:47] How about that incident with that horrible monster that killed the young beautiful girl from Ukraine? [1:18:57] animal and to think we'll have we'll have been trials for years and you'll get some nice liberal lawyer and they'll [1:19:04] Will say oh he had a bad day. Yeah, he had a bad day slither through we had men playing in women's sports [1:19:13] Transgender for everybody crime at record levels the worst trade deals ever made and our country was laughed at from all over the world [1:19:20] But they're not laughing anymore [1:19:23] One year ago our country was dead now [1:19:27] We are the hottest country anywhere in the world because we finally have a president who puts America first [1:19:34] the last administration and their allies in Congress looted our Treasury for trillions of dollars driving up prices on everything at [1:20:09] unprecedented levels [1:20:11] How about the new thing in Minnesota with the Somalians they sold now it came out the great US attorney up there [1:20:19] They came out think of this nine [1:20:23] Billion dollars and they think that's just the beginning [1:20:27] They stole think of it in their country. They live on nothing. They have nothing they come here. They still nine billion dollars [1:20:36] Are we stupid? I mean, how do we allow that to happen? [1:20:39] Ilhan Omar should be sent out of our country. She should be she should not be allowed to be [1:20:48] She married her either to stay or [1:20:55] To get him into the country and yesterday she I guess made up a story [1:21:01] She said the police attacked her son [1:21:04] They they stopped the car they and the police said we never attacked him. We never stopped. It was a made-up story [1:21:13] She's a con person. She's full of con. She says zero. She said get you to get her the hell out of our country [1:21:20] That's what you're gonna do. She made up a story that the police stopped her son's car and they harassed the hell out of her [1:21:30] Turned out to be a fake story never there was no stoppage of his car and there was no harassment [1:21:35] But think of that in Minnesota this beautiful place once beautiful. I don't call it beauty [1:21:42] I got the governor who's a stupid person and a corrupt he's corrupt and stupid, but he allowed this to go on [1:21:51] He allowed this to go on everybody knew what's going on [1:21:54] But what nobody knew is over nine billion dollars and the people of Minnesota are not happy and you know, who's running for governor? [1:22:03] Mike Lindell do we like Mike? [1:22:06] That man suffered that man suffered [1:22:12] He what he did what he went through because he knew the election was rigged and he did it [1:22:17] He didn't I mean he just did it as a citizen Mike Lindell [1:22:21] I'll tell you what every time I introduced him he got the biggest hand. I hope he does great [1:22:25] He deserves to do great that man suffered these people went after him. They went after his company [1:22:31] They did that with me too. But at least I knew what I was getting into [1:22:36] He was just a guy that said he's this election was so crooked [1:22:39] It was so rigged he fought like hell that guy deserves to be governor of Minnesota. I'll tell you [1:22:45] Great guy, but I'm bringing the prices down and I'm bringing him down fast [1:22:54] you know that as I saw the other day and as I showed to people the other day, I made a [1:23:03] Speech it was very well received. You know [1:23:06] We had one problem I put up these gorgeous charts and it says chart [1:23:11] you know sort of talking about the chart you're reading into a piece of glass I [1:23:17] get no audience I got just people very hostile people waiting around and I'm [1:23:22] reading into a piece of glass for 22 minutes and I talk about the chart the [1:23:28] networks didn't put up the charts only Fox put up the charts Fox put them up in [1:23:33] all fairness when we get angry at Fox you have to remember they put up the [1:23:38] chart so you could start putting them up now if you want but we put up these [1:23:42] beautiful charts that were very but I very much like the chart from Butler PA [1:23:54] I like that much better that's my all-time favorite shot you know that's a [1:24:01] great shot they're all great charts but I'm never like a chart like that John I [1:24:06] put up in Butler just take a look at the chart right here that was a good shot I [1:24:11] love that shot so much I sleep with that shot but this is okay they'll never be a [1:24:21] great shot for me it's only the one [1:24:23] you [1:24:24] had the butler that's all charts stink but look at that chart look at the kind [1:24:30] of Biden price increases in Trump price increases look at that they're all Biden [1:24:35] we're bringing the prices down look at that shot NBC and CBS and ABC fake news [1:24:41] the fake news that camera just went off sorry about that every time I mentioned [1:24:47] that their camera you know you see the red light back there being you see go [1:24:50] off ABC fakers I think ABC is the worst believe it or not [1:24:57] George [1:24:57] who was going to do a great job of [1:24:59] running a very powerful newspaper [1:25:04] and a great piece of news there George [1:25:07] lapped plus he paid me about 16 million [1:25:09] yep George lapidopoulos [1:25:11] I heard Chris Christie lost his job they [1:25:13] fired Chris Christie and they have a [1:25:15] great young woman taking his place who [1:25:18] happens to be Hispanic and happens to be [1:25:21] phenomenal she's going to do a great [1:25:22] job but they fired Chris Christie yes [1:25:27] you know why he went to eat all the time [1:25:30] now they fired him he was bad news but [1:25:34] NBC is horrible. I mean, just horrible. They had this guy on, this fake guy, the fake senator. I [1:25:43] call him the fake senator from a place called Georgia, right? And he was talking about all the, [1:25:49] you know, things. He says he's a church leader. You know, it's funny, if you go on as a church [1:25:55] leader, they talk about church and state, right? He's allowed to talk about it. He said, I'm going [1:25:59] back to my church and I'm going to pray this morning. I'm going to talk about all these [1:26:03] issues. If a Republican said that, they start screaming church and state. They don't scream. [1:26:08] But NBC is really bad. And CBS, I mean, I love the new owners of CBS. Something happens to them, [1:26:16] though. 60 Minutes has treated me worse under the new ownership than, they just keep treating me. [1:26:22] They just keep hitting me. It's crazy. And then you have Marjorie Trader Brown, I call her, [1:26:29] because green turns to brown under stress. So I call it Trader Brown, which I don't like [1:26:37] doing. [1:26:37] Because two words is too much. Two out of three. We're changing to Marjorie Taylor Green. I'm [1:26:43] going Marjorie Trader Brown. So I have to trade. And a lot of people don't understand two words [1:26:48] is too much to change. I actually like Marjorie Taylor Brown better. But everyone says Marjorie [1:26:55] Trader Green is good, but they're all good. But what the hell happened to her? She must have been [1:27:02] a stone cold liberal. She's on CNN now all the time. Can you believe? And it was only because I [1:27:08] couldn't call her. [1:27:08] You know, I have 218, 19, it changes. But we have 200 and some odd congressmen and women. I have 53 [1:27:19] senators. I have 212 countries. I've got a family. I said, talk to my family, too. You can't call a [1:27:27] president every single day. And then when the president doesn't call you back, she goes around [1:27:32] saying, he doesn't call me back. I said, Marjorie, I can't call you back. I got two. I think Marjorie, [1:27:39] I just can't call you back. [1:27:41] I'm sorry. And I wouldn't call her back. And she goes on to a rant. He won't call me back anymore. [1:27:48] Sorry about that. You know, you can only go so far. Yeah, once a month, once every week or two [1:27:54] weeks. But you can't, you know, highly neurotic. Her not being, but I'm neurotic, too. I think I'm [1:28:01] probably very neurotic, too. I always say controlled neuroses is good. Being neurotic, [1:28:07] no good. But if it's controlled, that's okay. It gives you some energy. But what the hell happened [1:28:13] to Marjorie Trader Greene? It's unbelievable. But she dropped out because I wasn't going to [1:28:21] endorse her. And the person I would have endorsed was going to kill her in the polls. So she dropped [1:28:26] out. And then they talk about how brave she is. No brave would be to stay. And, you know, it's one [1:28:33] of those things. But she dropped out. I can't believe it that that people can change so much. [1:28:39] But you can't go from being a strong conservative to a stone cold liberal unless you were lying. [1:28:44] You know, you can't do that. I mean, you can stop liking somebody or you can say, I don't know. [1:28:50] She's fake. Look, front row Joe. What are you doing in the second row? What happened? Well, [1:28:56] you're in the front row. That's good. It's front row Joe. I don't know who's been there. The front [1:29:01] row Joe's are you. It's pretty close. Very different. Hey, very different types. Would [1:29:07] you stand up, please, in the front row? Just stand up. Look at these women. Look how incredible [1:29:14] they are. Right? Even front row Joe's will admit they're very great. [1:29:21] Right? Look how beautiful they are. They people like you built our country. You built [1:29:28] our country. And that's why we love you. You built our country. The people in this room [1:29:34] built our country. And under sleepy Joe Biden, car prices, gasoline prices, hotel rates, [1:29:42] airfare and more went up 30 to 75 percent. Now they're all coming down. We're all coming [1:29:49] down. Take a look at that. Isn't that beautiful to look? The same is true with groceries. [1:29:53] The price of a Thanksgiving turkey was down by 33 percent compared to sleepy Joe's high [1:30:01] priced era. Don't forget, when you have the highest inflation in history and or 48 years, [1:30:09] do we think 40? And look, in terms of a speech, I think 48 years is the equivalent of history. [1:30:16] Do we agree? Can we say because they had a piece on me today and one of these fake newspapers, [1:30:22] which are all dying, they're all gone bankrupt. Thank God. [1:30:25] They're the worst that I misrepresented by saying history. It's actually 48 years. And [1:30:33] I said, you know, that's not a bad misrepresentation. I don't think the price of eggs is down 82 [1:30:42] percent since March. Do you remember the people? Do you remember fake news? Do you remember [1:30:52] when I just got elected? It was a big thing. We won every swing state. We wanted a popular [1:30:58] vote. We won by like 312 to 200. [1:31:02] And something and like low 200. And we won everything. We won districts. The word district. [1:31:10] We won districts by two thousand seven hundred and fifty to five hundred and twenty five. [1:31:19] That's a slaughter. And that's the thing. When you see everything's red except for two [1:31:22] little lines on the left and the right, meaning New York and California. That's the one that [1:31:27] really is incredible. Two thousand seven hundred and fifty to five hundred and twenty five. [1:31:34] We won everything in a slaughter. We won everything. And what a great thing it was when you can [1:31:39] have an election that good. And they tried to rig it. Remember, we had the thing too [1:31:44] big to rig. Remember this? That was a big thing. They tried like hell. They gave up [1:31:49] at about nine or two. It was too big. It was just a landslide. They couldn't do it. They [1:31:55] cheated a lot. But we made it too big to rig. And I appreciate you getting. I said the polls [1:32:00] had us up pretty way up. And a lot of times when that happens, you'll say, let's go. Let's [1:32:05] go out, watch a movie and we'll come back and watch the president win. No, I said, don't [1:32:09] watch a movie. Go out and vote. But it was too big. So it came back. What an evening [1:32:15] that was. What was better, 2016 or 2024? Tell me. I don't know. 2016 was pretty monumental. [1:32:26] What was better? I don't know. Beating Hillary was fun. Well, Hillary has a much higher IQ [1:32:40] than Kamala. I would say I think Hillary has probably 50 or 60 points higher. [1:32:47] Now Hillary was smart. She was nasty. I wouldn't want to go home to her. She was nasty. Remember? [1:33:01] Remember she was a nasty person. I was going to use the B word. I said, no, my wife would [1:33:07] not be happy. My wife always says, please, please don't use foul language. You know who [1:33:13] else does? Franklin Graham. He says, president, he says, I love your speaking ability, president. [1:33:21] You're a great speaker. Although nobody says it. Yeah. You know, I get these big crowds, [1:33:25] but he did. You ever see the press to a story that I'm [1:33:27] a great speaker. They say, oh, he looked tired. Oh, he's this. Oh, he's that. Yeah. [1:33:35] I mean, it's crazy. I get crowds, the biggest crowds in history of anything, not only of [1:33:40] anything. They never say he gave a great speech tonight in front of 45,000 people. Look at [1:33:47] the sort of the crowds that we get are the biggest crowds ever before the election. We're [1:33:52] getting 80. We had 117,000 people show up in New Jersey. It was a great speech. You [1:33:58] know what they said? [1:33:59] He looked tired. You can't be tired in front of 117,000 people. It's not possible. Got [1:34:07] a lot of adrenaline. The adrenaline is pumping, right? But that's why they're fake news. That's [1:34:12] why nobody listens to him anymore. But remember that we slashed the yearly cost of new mortgages [1:34:18] by $3,000. Look at the mortgage. We slashed them. Look at that. Look at that. Look at, [1:34:29] look at how much you made with me and lost with that sleepy guy. But everything now is [1:34:34] falling. And the only things that are going up are your salaries, the stock market and [1:34:41] your 401ks. They're going up on our first one in 2020, 2024. And it was at my first [1:34:52] conference. I'm two days in, you know, we're recovering from all the hoopla two days in. [1:34:57] In fact, I took a day off. They said, something's wrong with the president. I said, I just got [1:35:03] here. There's nothing wrong with me. Something's wrong. You took a tail. What's wrong with [1:35:09] the president, right? [1:35:10] Do you remember when I had 28 news conferences in a row over 28 days? Sometimes I gave two [1:35:17] or three in one day. And then I took my beautiful guy, my beautiful granddaughter is a very [1:35:22] good golfer. I took her to play golf one morning and I was in the office very quickly. Something's [1:35:27] wrong with the president. Do you remember the rumor was that I had passed away? Do you [1:35:32] remember? I went 28 days in a row. I took the kid to play golf and we play very fast. [1:35:41] She's good. [1:35:42] She's a very good golfer. And we play very fast. We play in two hours. We didn't. I mean, [1:35:48] I said, baby, I got to get out of here. I'm sorry, honey. Enjoy your day. Go hit balls [1:35:52] or something. I got to get out of here. I got to go to work. And I got a call friend [1:35:57] of mine. Oh, oh, you're okay. And I said, yeah, what's wrong? I said, I'll be back in [1:36:04] the oval office in 30 minutes. Oh, I said, what's wrong with this guy? Then I got another [1:36:10] call. Oh, you're okay. [1:36:11] I said, I'll be back in the oval office in 30 minutes. Oh, I said, what's wrong with [1:36:12] this guy? Then I got another call. Oh, you're okay. I said, I'll be back in the oval office [1:36:13] in 30 minutes. Remember that? They send that I had passed away. Do you remember if first [1:36:18] day in 28 days, these people are sick. That's why I've taken more physicals cause I think [1:36:25] you have an obligation to, you know, report, and I hate when they put out false reports. [1:36:29] So they put out a report that Donald Trump, so I took a lot of physicals. And I did something [1:36:35] no other president's ever done. I took cognitive tests because I know that. And by the way, [1:36:40] not easy. You get to those last questions, those last [1:36:45] 10, 15 questions. [1:36:46] Those, nobody in that stand could answer probably anything. [1:36:52] And I got him, I aced him. [1:36:55] And no other president has taken a cognitive test. [1:36:57] Could you imagine Sleepy Joe taking a cognitive test? [1:37:00] I don't think he'd get the first, you know, the first question is like, what is this? [1:37:05] And they show a lion, a giraffe, a fish, and a hippopotamus, right? [1:37:12] And they say, which is the giraffe? [1:37:16] So that's the only question. [1:37:18] But what happens is it then gets harder. [1:37:20] I don't think Joe would have gotten the first question right. [1:37:25] He would say hippo. [1:37:27] He was, I want the hippo. [1:37:30] But anyway, but I've taken now three cognitive tests. [1:37:34] I've got, I've aced every single one of them. [1:37:37] And, you know, this is a big stuff. [1:37:44] This is Walter Reed, you know, I've got a whole team of doctors all over the place. [1:37:48] If you get them wrong, I said, what do you think? [1:37:50] Should I do it? [1:37:51] He said, well, here's the good news. [1:37:52] The good news, if you do well, that's great. [1:37:55] Actually, if you do well, they won't report it. [1:37:56] If you do badly, it's going to be the biggest story in history. [1:37:59] They said, you know, it's possible that if you do well, [1:38:01] if you do badly, the word will leak out and you'll look very bad. [1:38:05] I said, this was on my first test. [1:38:07] After that, I knew that I can do very well. [1:38:10] Smart person. [1:38:11] So what happens, what happens is first test, I said, how hard is it? [1:38:16] He said, well, after the 10th or 12th question, it gets, you know, very hard. [1:38:21] And I said, well, what do you think? [1:38:22] They said, look, if you're going to do well, but if you're not going to do well, [1:38:25] it's probable that the word will get out. [1:38:28] I said, well, let's do it anyway. [1:38:30] And I did it. [1:38:31] And it was actually. [1:38:32] For a year, they called me a very intelligent person. [1:38:34] But then they forget. [1:38:35] Then I did it again. [1:38:36] I did it again. [1:38:38] They reported. [1:38:39] And these are doctors that I don't even know. [1:38:41] And they reported. [1:38:43] And then I did it a third time a few months ago. [1:38:45] And they reported. [1:38:47] But it's very small reporting. [1:38:49] But can you imagine if I did badly? [1:38:51] Right. [1:38:52] Could you imagine that? [1:38:53] Front row jail. [1:38:53] Would I be in trouble? [1:38:55] They'd say, there's something wrong. [1:38:57] But I like to do it. [1:38:58] But I gave a perfect. [1:39:01] I got it. [1:39:01] I did it. [1:39:02] Perfect. [1:39:02] Health. [1:39:03] And they reported his health is perfect. [1:39:06] And they interpret that. [1:39:08] And the fake news interprets when the doctor says he's got perfect health. [1:39:17] They go, what does he mean by perfect? [1:39:20] There's something wrong with the. [1:39:22] These people are sick. [1:39:24] Now, there will be a time when perhaps it won't be 100 percent true with all of us. [1:39:31] Right. [1:39:32] And when that time comes, I will let you know about it. [1:39:34] In fact, you'll probably find out about it just by watching. [1:39:38] But. [1:39:38] That time is not now because I feel the same that I felt for 50 years. [1:39:43] I really don't. [1:39:53] You know, I think we have an obligation to, you know, be at least report your health. [1:39:58] But I will tell you, to me, because of what happened for four years, I really think having [1:40:04] a cognitive test for presidents to take a cognitive test is very important. [1:40:10] I think it's very important. [1:40:11] I'm hearing that they say it's, you know, not with with Biden. [1:40:15] They said it was not constitutional. [1:40:17] And that was the least of his problems. [1:40:21] But I think it's very important that a president or people running for president [1:40:26] and vice president take a cognitive test. [1:40:28] I mean, I think it's a very important thing. [1:40:30] I don't know. [1:40:31] They say you shouldn't do that. [1:40:33] It's unjust. It's not constitutional. [1:40:35] They say all these things. [1:40:36] But I do I really believe that under Trump wages are rising much faster than inflation [1:40:42] for the first time in many years. [1:40:43] Think of that wages are rising faster than inflation. [1:40:48] That's what it's all about. [1:40:49] And we're delivering lower prices and bigger paychecks. [1:40:55] And the wage chart that you see up there is incredible there that, you know, [1:40:59] NBC didn't put up and the networks didn't put up. [1:41:02] There are more people working today than at any time in American history. [1:41:07] And very importantly, while tens of thousands of new jobs under Biden were [1:41:16] government jobs, there were government jobs. [1:41:18] I could do that right now. [1:41:20] You saw it today. [1:41:21] We had four point five percent inflation. [1:41:23] That's because I'm letting go of tremendous numbers of government workers. [1:41:28] We're replacing them. [1:41:31] In fact, we've reduced the federal workforce by two hundred and seventy thousand jobs. [1:41:37] That's not to be mean. [1:41:38] That's to get them off. [1:41:39] And they are getting jobs in the private sector and we're helping them to get jobs. [1:41:45] But if you have all government jobs, we're going to be, you know, [1:41:49] a country that we don't want to mention names because we don't want to insult. [1:41:52] But we're going to be a country that cannot be great. [1:41:56] One hundred percent just came out. [1:41:58] One hundred percent of all jobs created since I took office have been in the [1:42:02] private sector, the only way to make our country great. [1:42:10] One think of that one hundred percent of the jobs created are in the private sector. [1:42:18] Now, if I want to make some good numbers, I'll add three hundred thousand jobs. [1:42:25] I can do it with one phone call. [1:42:27] Hire each agency, hire twenty five thousand people today. [1:42:31] They hire them immediately. [1:42:32] They they pour in and the four and a half percent would be down to two and a half [1:42:37] percent in a matter of moments, I could get it down to zero. [1:42:41] Hire a couple of million workers, please. [1:42:43] Oh, the country's booming. We're down to zero. [1:42:45] But [1:42:47] that's the destruction of a country. [1:42:48] That's what Biden used to do. [1:42:50] They used to hire ten people for one job that have ten people like would look at a job and would say [1:42:57] one person can do the job, but let's give it a break. [1:42:59] Let's do two instead of and then have like nine people for one job. [1:43:04] And that's really tantamount to a failed country. [1:43:07] In four years, the last administration secured less than one trillion dollars [1:43:12] in new investments in our country. Think of that. [1:43:14] Four years, less than one, four years, four years, the whole term, less than one [1:43:21] trillion in ten months, I have secured a record breaking eighteen trillion dollars [1:43:27] more. They gave us doom and gloom and I'm building the Trump economic boom. [1:43:37] It's a boom. It's a boom. [1:43:38] You know, these factories, auto plants, A.I. [1:43:41] plants, we've never had anything like it. [1:43:44] I ended the radical left's war on American energy, terminated the Green News scam [1:43:49] and signed an order to drill, baby, drill. [1:43:53] We're drilling. You see where gasoline is coming from? [1:43:58] Gasoline is now substantially lower than two dollars and fifty cents [1:44:03] a gallon and many, many places now are under two dollars a gallon for gasoline. [1:44:13] And within the next 12 months, we will have opened one thousand six hundred new [1:44:18] electrical generating plants, one that's a record all time because, you know, [1:44:25] we need tremendous amounts of electricity for A.I. and for all these plants. [1:44:30] Electricity prices will fall very dramatically when these plants are open [1:44:35] to protect North Carolina workers. [1:44:37] I chose twenty five percent tariffs on foreign automobiles, 50 percent tariffs on [1:44:41] foreign steel that I approve 20 or 30 percent and 50 percent tariffs to save [1:44:47] North Carolina's cherished furniture industry, which has been decimated by China. [1:44:57] I used to come here a lot for one reason, [1:45:01] build hotels and I build different buildings. [1:45:04] And I'd come here to your furniture area. [1:45:07] I used to love it. Those people were so talented. [1:45:11] furniture and that was before politics i did great i did i was very good at real estate i would tell [1:45:17] you but i used to come to north carolina to buy furniture for lobbies or furniture for hotels and [1:45:23] i was here a lot i mean you've been decimated but it's coming back now because i put tariffs on big [1:45:29] big tariffs actually but i remember i'd say to a guy i like that chair you don't realize what i did [1:45:36] i would look at a chair the arm of a chair was very important to me i said i like that chair [1:45:41] but this arm has to be a different shape and you got to chisel that's i'm a very aesthetic person [1:45:46] believe me except with women i don't care what a woman looks like i used to say beautiful now i [1:45:53] don't care since politics i never mention looks anymore the most beautiful woman can walk right [1:45:58] across i don't even look at her anymore because in politics that's the sign of death we don't look [1:46:05] but but i do look at the arm of a chair and i say i'd say to your artists they were artists [1:46:14] they were artisans you know i'd say no no can you give a different curve can you do a little more [1:46:20] carving at the end about they would right in front of me bing bing bing bing bing bing like [1:46:24] they were like geniuses you lost the business it went to china and other places but mostly to china [1:46:30] because they never put tariffs on just like they didn't put them on chips just like they didn't put [1:46:37] them on cars you lost 58 of your car industry by the way it's all coming back some of it's coming [1:46:43] back it's all coming back [1:46:44] because to bring a car into our country is costing 25 to 50 tariffs now and they can't do it they [1:46:54] can't compete tariff is and i won't say it because it gets me in trouble my favorite word i know i [1:47:02] want my fifth favorite word you remember when i said the word tariff is my favorite word in the [1:47:09] dictionary remember that and then the fake news got me what about religion what about god what [1:47:15] about your family what about your wife what about your children [1:47:22] so now tariff is my fifth favorite word and now i'm okay it's my fifth five now i'm okay but [1:47:36] starting in the new year the people of north carolina will also see the dramatic results of [1:47:41] the largest tax

Michael Dell Dell computer put up six billion two hundred [1:52:15] and fifty million how do you like that he started with no money and now he puts [1:52:19] six billion plus into the first accounts I mean think of the six billion it's to [1:52:27] be exact six billion two hundred and fifty million even the second part is a [1:52:31] lot and we've had a lot of great Wall Street Titans a lot of great real estate [1:52:36] Titans they're all putting money in Trump accounts it's for kids they get a [1:52:40] certain agent they're gonna have money it's gonna double and triple hopefully [1:52:44] it'll do well under this new program the federal government will be creating an [1:52:51] investment savings account for every single newborn American child with [1:52:55] $1,000 to be invested and grow over the course of their life so they'll reach 21 [1:53:01] years and you know it could be very good they will consider themselves rich I [1:53:06] mean it's a lot of money actually friends family employers and loved ones [1:53:10] will be able to add thousands more [1:53:13] each year like a trust fund for every American child it's something that [1:53:17] people have wanted to do but honest I give mr. and mrs. Michael Dell Dell can [1:53:24] be go out and buy a computer from Dell because I'll tell you what they really [1:53:28] they love the country great people every single Democrat in Congress voted [1:53:33] against these incredible benefits every single Democrat said no including a guy [1:53:39] named Don Davis right here from this district he voted against it that's why [1:53:45] we got to vote against him Don Davis voted against no tax on overtime he [1:53:51] voted against no tax on tips and he voted for the largest tax increase in [1:53:57] American history he wanted the largest and he's your congressman so I don't [1:54:02] know you know and honestly I'm good at politics I never even heard of this guy [1:54:07] so he hasn't made a big impact but he voted yes on every single Biden disaster [1:54:13] including massive inflation open borders sanctuary cities and the green new scam [1:54:18] don davis betrayed North Carolina don davis did nothing about the flood he [1:54:25] did nothing about the hurricane I did it all with your congressman and with a [1:54:32] couple of Republicans from your state that put their lives on the line to make [1:54:36] sure this got done and we had to wait till January 20th they wouldn't do a [1:54:41] damn thing people was with the waters didn't receive they were living in areas [1:54:46] that didn't have water and now they were [1:54:48] surrounded by water and by the way Elon Musk with his incredible you would call [1:54:56] it contraption of communication incredible I said Elon we need 500 of [1:55:04] those you couldn't get them because it's been very successful he said you'll have [1:55:08] them tomorrow gotta give him credit for that you know I have my little [1:55:11] disagreements right now I don't believe in the mandate where everybody has to [1:55:19] have an electric vehicle within an hour you know I don't [1:55:23] know but you got to give him credit he really saved a lot of lives here tonight [1:55:29]

boy oh boy well they look they're going [1:58:24] to win good but you got to beat that other guy thanks also I want to thank somebody very special [1:58:30] he's the Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez de Rima where's Lori thank you what a job what a job you've [1:58:40] done our friend did me a big favor when he recommended you I was recommended by a great guy [1:58:48] a big fan of Lori and he said I

energy director of Federal Housing Finance agency he's done a phenomenal job Mr Bill [1:59:09] Pulte Bill thank you very much thank you Bill also State Senator Phil burger Phil thank you great and [1:59:25] people here I would like to introduce them all we'll be here but one one we have to we have to [1:59:30] introduce fellas is Michael whatley and he was the head of the Republican Party before that he [1:59:42] was the head of your party right here the Republican Party and we won we won six in a [1:59:48] row three primers and landslides and then we went on to win the election all three times so we won [1:59:54] six in a row I've never had a loss with him and when I won uh the I mean look we [2:00:00] were phenomenal it turned out you know we won three times in a row just so you understand I [2:00:04] don't mean here I mean all over we won three in a row they might have done us a favor but we won [2:00:10] three in a row but when we got screwed in the second election it didn't happen over here he [2:00:17] had 601 lawyers he hired they had lawyers at every single ballot box and other people were cheating [2:00:24] in other states that we won by a lot and they were cheating you could see it go here we are [2:00:31] you remember they have ballots all of a sudden we just found 75 000 ballots a total rigged deal [2:00:38] and by the way you have not heard the last of that I can tell you but in this state that didn't happen [2:00:46] because you had a guy named Michael whatley and he he had every box secured he had I think two or [2:00:54] three lawyers at every station but he had over 600 lawyers I think 600 and I said how many lawyers [2:01:00] did you have six hundred and one I said that's like genius he was ahead of it [2:01:03] and you'd watch you know people went to bed that night everyone said the election's over Trump won [2:01:09] and then all of a sudden they woke up in the morning and three o'clock in the morning they [2:01:14] found hundreds of thousands of votes in some of these states it was a rigged election but not [2:01:19] here because of him and I said I don't know if I'm doing this again but if I'm doing this again [2:01:25] I want Michael Michael whatley I said the guy from North Carolina I want him to head the Republican [2:01:31] National Committee the RNC [2:01:34] and he did it he did it beautifully come on up Michael come up he did it so well and we had the [2:01:43] big election when he worked with Laura now how good is Laura Laura Trump who was born here loves this [2:01:53] state so much she could have done very well by the way I think Ted Budd is doing a very good job too [2:01:58] I have to tell you and I will say this Tom Tillis fought with me for the Lumbee tribe the Lumbee I [2:02:10] love the Lumbee [2:02:12] he's he's really been he's really been very good you know we had to do the dispute but these are [2:02:18] you know it's fine he was he's been really good Tom has been very very good and I appreciate it [2:02:23] very much and he's been very strong on the Lumbee tribe and I think they're going to get out and [2:02:27] they're going to vote the Lumbees you have some here you have some of the leaders here if you [2:02:32] could you want to stand up if you're there it's really great thank you very much we appreciate [2:02:37] it let them know we appreciate it we got to get every one of those sixty thousand votes [2:02:43] we got to get them for this guy but the Lumbees have been great I've been with them from the [2:02:47] beginning we got them we got them across the finish line but I want to ask Michael to say [2:02:53] a few words he's just been an unbelievable Warrior and I said if I do this again I'm [2:03:00] going to get that guy in North Carolina who wouldn't let that phony you know they tried [2:03:06] here too they couldn't get away with it they tried he stopped it he's a tough strong guy he's also a [2:03:14] great he's just a great person and I want to tell you him and Laura Trump were there's never been a [2:03:20] better team in fact I said if you before he did this I said if you had your choice for anybody [2:03:26] to be your coach here who would you pick he said I'd take Laura Trump again right you did say that [2:03:32] but I'd like to have Michael say he's in a fight against a radical left governor who did a shitty [2:03:38] job for you and I really want you either way but either governor [2:03:46] either governor because you have another governor that's a Democrat you know every virtually I [2:03:51] think every every state run by a Democrat is a failure think of it and now your state with all [2:03:58] these killings I never heard of killings but all of a sudden and they came in through Biden [2:04:03] with his open border craziness and these are vicious people but I want this man to say just [2:04:10] a few words because it's so important that he wins you don't want to have a radical left Senator that [2:04:16] basically wants to have open borders transgender for everybody men playing in women's sports Michael [2:04:24] are you in favor of men in women's sports are you in favor of transgender for everybody are [2:04:30] you in favor of open borders thank you thank you you know in 2015 Donald Trump came down that golden [2:04:42] escalator said he was going to make America great again and he was going to do it by rebuilding our [2:04:51] restoring our borders and making America respected around the world again and I said I'm with that guy [2:04:59] and we won in 2016 and we won in 2020 and thank the Lord that we won in 2024 and Donald Trump right [2:05:10] now is serving as the most transformational president in our lifetime and President Trump [2:05:20] my pledge to you is this when I win this seat when I am the next senator [2:05:26] for North Carolina I am going to be a fighter every day for this great state I am going to [2:05:32] be a conservative champion for North Carolina and I am going to be an ally to our great president not [2:05:39] just the 45th president but the 47th president as well Donald J Trump what a what a great guy he is [2:06:00] so get out and work for him I I hope you can get your group of about 70 women to go out and do it [2:06:06] we can get all the front rows and [2:06:08] we gotta win he's just he's a good man and he represents your values that I can tell you but [2:06:14] I also want to express my condolences to the people of this state and to the loved ones of [2:06:20] NASCAR legend Greg Biffle who perished yesterday in a tragic plane crash with his family in [2:06:27] Statesville uh I met him twice he was just a great young man and uh what a tragedy that is [2:06:35] with his whole family so I just want to pay our condolences our love [2:06:39] please please I'll tell you North Carolina will never forget them he was uh and his family were [2:06:49] incredible people together we've achieved more in less than one year than most other administrations [2:06:55] achieved in eight years which is true most of them didn't achieve much within a matter of weeks we [2:07:01] ended the invasion of our southern border for the past seven months zero illegal aliens have been [2:07:06] allowed into our country think of that zero and that's made up by Democrats defeat which everyone [2:07:14] Biden and the radical left Democrats in Congress turned North Carolina into a dumping ground for [2:07:20] tens of thousands of third world migrants driving up your rent on your housing costs [2:07:25] according to a government report over 60 percent of growth in the rental market came from foreign [2:07:31] migrants paid for by the federal government by the way paid for by the federal government you [2:07:37] the taxpayer mass migration fueled mass inflation but now we are fixing it and we have record [2:07:45] in deportations and we're really focused on the bad people we're really focused on the bad people [2:07:50] we have farmers who have who are great people they know what they're doing but we're focused on the [2:07:57] bad ones we're getting the really we're getting the murderers the drug dealers we're getting the [2:08:00] ones from prisons we're getting them the hell out of here we're focused very strongly for the first [2:08:06] time in 50 years we're seeing reverse migration as migrants go back home we say go back home please [2:08:12] and we want the bad ones to go back home because [2:08:16] of the ones that caused the problem and think of Washington DC so I mean outside of the terrorism [2:08:22] attack from three weeks ago and by the way that young beautiful man is doing well you know they [2:08:28] we thought we lost both of them and we lost one who's looking down on us right now but uh looks [2:08:38] like he just stood up can you believe it he stood up today for the first time two great people Sarah [2:08:48] is looking down on us and from heaven she was incredible [2:08:52] and so well but he's doing uh they were both about the same we thought we lost both of them [2:08:58] hit the same area if you can believe it he was hit hard but he's and his mother Monica I spoke [2:09:05] to her the night of sir he'll be okay every doctor was saying he doesn't have much of a [2:09:11] chance and she said sure I'm telling you I know my boy he's going to be fine I can't believe it [2:09:16] and uh literally actually yesterday he stood up and he's talking a little bit I mean the whole [2:09:24] thing is incredible the mother I've never seen anybody I never saw anything like it and she was [2:09:30] so positive she said I'm praying and everybody's praying the whole country is praying and there's [2:09:35] no way he's going to have any problem he's going to be just fine it was it's not even that he was [2:09:39] going to make it it was like he's going to be fine incredible person in the year before my election [2:09:46] all net job creation was going to foreign migrants all of it 100 since I took office 100 of all net [2:09:56] American-born citizens the migrant invasion also brought massive crime what's happening with the [2:10:02] killings in North Carolina is indescribable I mean for the first time you're in national news all the [2:10:08] time with the killings that's because you're run by Democrats two weeks ago an illegal alien from [2:10:14] Honduras who entered under Biden walked onto a train in Charlotte with a large knife and brutally [2:10:21] stabbed a passenger multiple times in the chest the same Savage criminal alien had previously [2:10:27] been [2:10:27] arrested two months earlier but he was released by authorities to pillage and kill which he did [2:10:35] also recently in this state you saw this one nobody could watch it another monstrous criminal [2:10:43] with 14 prior arrests plunged a knife into the throat of an innocent young beautiful girl Ukraine [2:10:51] she was from Ukraine who was sitting on a train you could see all she was scared to [2:10:57] be there you could see that right everybody knows what I'm talking about she was [2:11:01] she walked onto the train she was afraid to be there what happened to North Carolina you didn't [2:11:07] have that condition and then she was attacked from behind violently by the Savage no one can [2:11:14] ever forget that look of shock and terror on the young woman's face that happened so fast as her [2:11:19] murderer walked down the train car dripping with blood all over passengers are looking at them [2:11:25] they're saying what is that there's blood pouring out of from every part of them from the knife for [2:11:31] years radical left politicians have been releasing [2:11:33] bloodthirsty violent offenders and criminal aliens back onto your streets under our leadership [2:11:38] we're finally getting illegal aliens and vicious felons off the streets and throwing them out of [2:11:44] our country or in some cases putting them in the toughest jails in the world because frankly we [2:11:51] don't want to let them into their country because we don't want to take a chance that these animals [2:11:55] will come back we're restoring law and order in America we just made a record investment in our [2:12:10] military and gave every service member a warrior dividend of 1776 1776 and I'm also pleased to [2:12:20] announce it just two hours ago we hit the Isis thugs in Syria who were trying to regroup after [2:12:27] their decimation by the Trump administration five years ago we hit them all I ordered a massive [2:12:34] strike on the terrorists that killed our three great Patriots last week two soldiers one interpreter [2:12:41] all great people [2:12:43] and it was very successful it was precision we hit every site flawlessly and we are restoring [2:12:50] peace through strength we're all over the world I settled eight Wars in 10 months destroyed the [2:12:56] Iran nuclear threat ended the war in Gaza and got the release of hostages both living and dead and [2:13:04] created peace in the Middle East we have peace in the Middle East first time in three years peace [2:13:08] in the mirror I cut federal funding for any school that pushes critical race Theory or [2:13:14] trends [2:13:15] of gender Insanity and we completely banned the chemical and surgical mutilation of children can [2:13:33] you believe I'm standing here 2025 talking about a band the surgical mutilation of children could [2:13:41] you imagine 15 years ago saying that people would say this guy's crazy what the hell is he talking [2:13:45] the surgical mutilation of children I banned it and it's a wonderful thing I did but can [2:13:52] you imagine having to even say it or can you imagine having to say that we are keeping them in the first place [2:13:59] men out of women's sports frankly that's less important if you want another truth [2:14:03] but it's very important the surgical mutilation I had a band and I did I [2:14:07] banned it but we're also keeping men out of women's sports have you seen some of [2:14:12] these records have you seen the long-distance race one of these races go [2:14:16] all day that champion women they had some very good men but not the champions [2:14:21] and one man won the race by five hours and 14 minutes and 12 seconds five [2:14:29] hours 14 minutes think of that when the race by five hours what do you do your [2:14:35] parents go back home go to sleep for a few hours come back and meet your [2:14:38] daughter and she's supposed to be thrilled kind of crap is that or the [2:14:42] weightlifting records where people that never lifted a weight before are going [2:14:48] into the women who are fighting national championships almost Olympic [2:14:53] championships and they're lifting a hundred and twelve pounds more and [2:14:56] they've never done it before or the boxers that are getting decimated you [2:15:03] saw the [2:15:03] Olympics where they had two people that they converted to from men to women they [2:15:13] did a conversion and the one young woman from Italy a championship boxer she got [2:15:18] hit by a left jab or left jab for those that don't do them it's just like a [2:15:22] defensive punch she got hit she walked to her corner she said I've never been [2:15:26] hit like that I quit then they said no no go out you can do it and then he gave [2:15:31] her another left yet that was it and she said nope I can't do it it's so it's so [2:15:36] mean to a young woman and they don't stop I saw the other day and one of the [2:15:41] shows I think meet the fake for us I'm pretty sure it was a stupid show and and [2:15:47] they had a congressman that you all know a Democrat saying no no we have to allow [2:15:54] men to play in women's sports where do these people come from or how about open [2:15:59] borders they're fighting for open borders if I didn't get elected our [2:16:03] country would be ruined we would have we would have not cut you I'm telling up [2:16:07] I'm not bragging about myself I'm saying [2:16:09] We would not have had a country and now we have the greatest country in the world [2:16:15] I'm telling you the hottest with our hottest [2:16:17] We're storing the name of a great president William McKinley to Mount McKinley in beautiful, Alaska [2:16:27] They took the name off and they named it something else and I renamed the Gulf of Mexico [2:16:37] to the Gulf of America [2:16:40] Well, you know, I checked for all my whole life [2:16:48] I don't know. I guess I didn't do it in my first term because I was the hunted I had bigger problems [2:16:54] I had these animals trying to attack me at Mar-a-Lago. They went into my wife's [2:17:03] Closet and I'll say this number one is very bad, but it sounds a little strange. They looked at her drawers [2:17:13] You have draw and then you have draw they looked at both and she's a very meticulous person [2:17:24] You know like these people it's just like she'd fit into your group very well [2:17:28] She'd be very happy with her but everything is perfect her [2:17:34] Undergarments, so he's nice sometimes referred to as panties are folded perfect wrapped [2:17:42] They're like so perfect. I said that's beautiful. You're not support of the world. She came from everything was perfect. No problem [2:17:49] Fall fall fall. I think she seems to make sure [2:17:53] We came home. I wasn't there when the raid took place a raid [2:18:01] Of a popular president a former president [2:18:04] She opened the drawers and that it was not that way. They were a mess [2:18:10] It was all over the place and she said oh what happened that's so terrible, but it's terrible that went into my young boys room [2:18:18] These thugs are disgusting and we cannot let them get away with this. We we have all the evidence [2:18:27] We have to do something about it we have to do something about it [2:18:33] It's illegal and it's disgusting, you know, I brought a lawsuit and I'm winning the lawsuit. There's only one problem [2:18:44] I'm the one that has to settle it. In other words. I am suing and I'm the one that's supposed to settle [2:18:49] So maybe I'll give myself 1 billion dollars and give it all to charity. Does that make sense? [2:18:55] I'll give it to charity. Do you have any nice charities? I have to settle the lawsuit. There's never been a case like this [2:19:02] Trump sued I sued a long time ago and it's doing fine. It's a suit and now you know, we found all this stuff [2:19:08] Did you see where the FBI didn't want to do it? [2:19:10] But the Justice Department forced them to do it the FBI guys didn't want to do it [2:19:15] but they [2:19:17] The thugs in the doj wanted to do it. So I sued them and it's [2:19:22] They do say that, you know, it's never been a case like this [2:19:26] Donald Trump [2:19:27] Sues the United States of America Donald Trump becomes president and now Donald Trump has to settle the suit [2:19:35] I give myself [2:19:38] 1 billion dollars [2:19:39] dollars. Actually, maybe I shouldn't give it to charity. Maybe I should keep it. No, a lot of [2:19:46] people say do it. No, I don't want to do it. But whatever happens, it's all going to good charities. [2:19:52] Is that okay? It's all going to good charities. But isn't that a strange position to be in? [2:19:58] I've got to make, I've got to make a deal. I negotiate with myself. From the skyscrapers [2:20:07] of Charlotte, to the rolling hills of Asheville, from the sand dunes of Kitty Hawk, to the streets [2:20:15] of Chapel Hill, and from the factories of Hickory, to the small towns and family farms across your [2:20:22] beautiful countryside in North Carolina, we are bringing prosperity, opportunity, and pride [2:20:30] surging back to your incredible home. Together, we're pairing all these people together. You're [2:20:40] coming together. Do you know what's coming? [2:20:41] We're coming together like nobody's ever seen, but we're fixing four years of disaster and [2:20:48] decline. The whole world was laughing at us for four years. They were laughing, taking advantage [2:20:54] of us, friend and foe. And the friend was worse than the foe in many cases. On trade, they were [2:21:00] worse. And we're beginning the greatest years in the history of our country. It's called the golden [2:21:07] age of America. That's what's happening. We're right now, we were a dead country. Now we're [2:21:12] talking about the golden age of America. [2:21:14] Think of it in ten months. Think of that. [2:21:19] So in conclusion, tonight, after just 11 months, our border is secure. Our spirit is restored. [2:21:25] Inflation is stopped. Wages are up. Prices are down. Our nation is strong. And America [2:21:32] is back. And every single day of this administration, we will keep on working for the hardworking [2:21:43] citizens of America. We will fight, fight, fight. We will win, win, win. And with your [2:21:49] help, we will make America a better place. [2:21:51] We will make America powerful again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America [2:21:58] healthy again. We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We [2:22:08] will make America safe again. And we will make America great again.
