It is about 100 days to the midterm elections, as informed industry pros and millions of Americans know. Both major parties are trying to position themselves for that event which will either result in majority votes to continue – or perhaps derail – the agenda driven by the Biden-Harris Administration’s Democratic Party plans. With millions of Democrats, not to mention Independents and Republicans (a.k.a. Grand Old Party or GOP) believing that the U.S. is heading ‘in the wrong direction,’ Democrats have their work cut out for them. They are touting a reduction in gas prices, which are still nearly double what they were when Joe Biden took the oath of office. But Biden-Harris and Democrats routinely have the advantage of the de facto support from much of the mainstream media, big tech, many in big business, banking, and several deep pocket billionaires that are often involved in the Civic Alliance and World Economic Forum (WEF). They also have the levers of power in the House, Senate, at the Department of Justice, etc. They can continue to hold hearings or even announce ‘criminal’ probes of deposed President Donald J. Trump aimed at smearing not only him, but his party and supporters. That begs the question. What will the message of the Republicans be heading into the final stretch into the critical midterms? The America First Policy Institute Summit, featuring several GOP figures past and present, plus the 45th President Trump sought to answer that question both simply and in detail.

The simple message from AFPI is putting “America First,” vs. putting a globalist agenda ahead of the interests of the U.S.A. and its citizens. Along side the “America First” message is the simple notion of putting the interests of the ‘American People First’ or “Americans First.”

 

 

That “Americans First” first includes people of all ethnic, racial, religious, age, gender, or other backgrounds. Instead of a divisive and sometimes awkward list of pronouns and identities, “Americans First” means much the same as what the founding founders thought of when they declared that government was the servant of the people who were independent, and that the people had rights provided to them from God rather than ‘rights’ provided by government, which could be limited or removed by fiat or whim.

For the last 18 months, the fruits of Democratic Party policies of defunding the police, a debacle of a withdrawal from Afghanistan, the problems associated with an effectively open border, and the top economic issue for most – runaway inflation – and its impact on food, fuel, housing, and more have been on full display.

The victory of Mexican-born Representative Myrna Flores (TX-R) in this summer special election a ‘deep blue’ district that has been in Democratic hands for about 150 years has sent shudders and shock waves through Democratic ranks. Hispanics in swing and other states like Florida, Texas and beyond are increasingly embracing the GOP “America First” agenda over the Democratic plans that have yielded domestic and foreign affairs woes. America under Trump, however controversial he and others made him out to be, was “better for blacks” – and by implication, other minorities – as former Obama-Biden official and CNN commentator Van Jones recently said.

CNN’s Van Jones says the economy has gotten “worse” for Black Americans since Biden took office.

The power of years of information dominance and years of political habits are about to be tested. ‘Don’t believe your lying eyes’ might be the unstated subtext of Biden-Harris Democrats whose representatives and senators routinely avoid appearing on the campaign trail with their own party leader.

In this troubling political and economic environment, manufactured housing appears to be rising. Historically, pre-21st century manufactured housing often improved when conventional housing sales lagged due to economic conditions.

But both major national trade organizations in manufactured housing indicate that the industry is facing a sizable, perhaps devastating, hit in 2023. That hit would be on the ‘entry level’ houses of the manufactured home industry which could be ‘devastated’ by the looming Biden-DOE manufactured housing energy rules, according to a longtime leader among independent manufactured home producers.

While the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) and the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) appear to broadly agree on a range of issues, when their respective practices and statements are carefully unpacked, the two could hardly have greater differences. While admitting the threat, MHI apparently postures, palters, and preens about their superior access to public officials. True enough, but in pointing that access out, what has MHI actually accomplished with that access?

For its part, MHARR successfully fought off this DOE Energy Rule previously. It is MHI, says former MHI Vice President and MHARR founding President and CEO Danny Ghorbani, that has repeatedly worked behind the scenes to advance rather than stall or stop the DOE energy rules.

 

Manufactured Housing Institute Leaders-Lawyers Asked About Explosive Allegations by Nonprofit Veteran on High Profile MH Industry Threat; Exclusive Q&A Claims Downturn Less Than 1 Year Away if MHI Fails

 

It is MHI, says a new White Paper. That White Paper claims that MHI seeks to grab credit for what on the surface may look like positive federal initiatives but when examined, those federal plans yield little or no actual new manufactured home sales.

That backdrop reveals an eerie parallel between what has been occurring in manufactured housing in recent years with what has been occurring nationally in the Biden-Harris era. Big talk and bold claims have effectively harmed the voters who make up the Democratic base. Similarly, big talk and bold posturing by MHI has left manufactured housing as a mere shadow – about 30 percent – of what it was in 1998 at the industry’s most-recent highwater mark.

People want to understand problems, but they also want solutions. It is with that understanding that the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) summit below. Part of the pre-Trump talks transcripts will be provided, but the bulk of the transcript – per CSPAN – will be focused on the remarks by deposed President Trump.

For as long as the arguably Orwellian censors at YouTube allow the video to remain on their website, the following is the President Trump parts of the AFPI Summit.

 

 

But if (or once) YouTube/Google censors remove that video above, the following video per CSPAN – while covering the speakers before plus deposed President Trump from the July 26, 2022 event is provided below. The time-marks shown below in the transcript are from the CSPAN video.

 

Newt Gingrich

00:43:17 THOUGH WE STAND FOR GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND FOR THE PEOPLE — AND I THINK THAT HAS TO BE THE HEART OF WHAT WE ARE DOING. THIS IS A COUNTRY IN TROUBLE. THIS IS A COUNTRY WHERE THINGS ARE NOT WORKING. THEY DESPERATELY WANT A POLITICAL PARTY THAT REACHES BEYOND PARTISANSHIP TO SOLVE PROBLEMS. AND I THINK IN KEVIN MCCARTHY AND IN A TEAM THAT HE IS WORKING WITH IN THE HOUSE, AND I PROUD OF THE ENTIRE HOUSE TEAM, BECAUSE IT IS A TEAM EFFORT. IT’S NOT LIKE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, WHICH IS ONE PERSON, SURROUNDED BY EXPERTS. IN THE HOUSE, YOU NEED TO RECRUIT LOTS AND LOTS OF GREAT FOLKS. THEY NEED TO RUN THEIR OWN RACES. AND THEN THEY NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND LISTEN TO EACH OTHER. I THINK THAT KEVIN IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT AND I THINK THAT AS A RESULT, THE HOUSE IS GOING TO PLAY AN ENORMOUS ROLE IN RENEWING AMERICA AND IN RESTORING THE AMERICAN GOOD WORK. I WANT TO YIELD, IF I MIGHT, TO MY GOOD FRIEND FROM CALIFORNIA.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA-R)
00:44:15
WOULD AN AMAZING CROWD. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE WATCHING ON TV. AND THERE IS A REASON WHY. BECAUSE WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CHANGE FROM THE AMERICAN FIRST AGENDA TO AMERICA LAST. IN A SHORT TIME PERIOD, THE PAIN THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS CAUSED. THE QUESTION BROOK ASKED ABOUT IS WHAT LESSONS CAN WE LEARN FROM 94. DO NOT ASSUME WE ARE GIVEN A MAJORITY. YOU NEED TO EARN A MAJORITY. AND THE ONE THING I WILL TELL YOU, WE ARE FOUR SEATS AWAY. WE CAN LEARN A LOT FROM NEWT GINGRICH. I LISTEN TO HIM QUITE OFTEN. WHEN YOU PUT TOGETHER THE CONTRACT WITH AMERICA, YOU WANT THE COUNTRY TO HAVE A CONTRAST IN ELECTIONS. WHEN WE WATCH WHAT BIDEN HAS DONE, THE PAIN OF INFLATION WE HAVE NOT FELT IN 40 YEARS. BUT YOU NEED TO EXPLAIN WHAT IT HAS DONE TO PEOPLE. THIS HAS GONE UP 550%. IF YOU ARE AN AMERICAN MAKING ABOUT $50,000 A YEAR, YOU NOW HAVE TO HAVE A 6100 MORE DOLLARS JUST TO BREAK EVEN TO WHERE YOU WERE BEFORE BIDEN CAME IN. IF YOU WERE PAID ON A SALARY, WITH INFLATION RIGHT NOW, YOU HAVE NOW JUST LOST MORE THAN ONE MONTHS SALARY, BASED UPON WHAT IS GOING ON. AMERICA CANNOT AFFORD THAT. THE CRIME WITHIN OUR STREETS, THE BORDER, NOW WE HAVE FENTANYL, THE NUMBER ONE KILLER OF AMERICANS BETWEEN 18 AND 45 — WE ARE GOING TO ROLL OUT THE COMMITMENT TO AMERICA. AND WE ARE GOING TO LET AMERICA MAKE A DECISION, WHICH DIRECTION THEY WANT. AMERICA LAST OR AMERICA FIRST. AND I PROMISE YOU WE KNOW THE DIRECTION THEY ARE GOING TO PICK. AND THEN, IT’S GOING TO BE OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CARRY THAT THROUGH, TO NOT JUST PASS IT IN THE HOUSE, BUT PASS IT IN THE SENATE AND GET IT TO THE PRESIDENTS DESK. AND I BELIEVE IN THIS NEXT ELECTION, THIS IS A 50 YEAR ELECTION. NEVER BEFORE ARE WE GOING TO FEEL THIS TYPE OF OPPORTUNITY IN A YEAR OF REDISTRICTING. WE CAN LOCK IN A CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY FOR A DECADE. BUT REMEMBER THIS, ONLY FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST 100 YEARS HAS THE HOUSE EVER FLIPPED FROM DEMOCRAT TO REPUBLICAN. AND WHEN THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER LAST TIME, YOU KNOW WHAT THEIR NUMBER ONE BILL WAS, TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES. TO CHANGE THE ELECTION LAW TO PROTECT THEM. YOU KNOW WE ARE GOING TO DO? OUR NUMBER ONE BILL IS GOING TO BE ABOUT PROTECTING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. MAKING US ENERGY INDEPENDENT, LOWERING THE GAS PRICE, MAKING OUR STREETS SAFE, SECURING THE BORDER, AND HOLDING WASHINGTON ACCOUNTABLE. THAT WILL BE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR. [APPLAUSE]

00:47:08
A BIT MORE OF THE AUDIENCE IS WATCHING FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY, THE IMPORTANCE OF STRATEGIC PLANNING AND UNDERSTANDING A VISION FOR THE COUNTRY. I KNOW OFTEN ON OUR SIDE, THE CONSERVATIVES GET SORT OF BLASTED FOR SAYING — WELL, I WAS AGAINST. THINGS WINNER BEFORE THINGS. WHICH IS WRONG, I THINK THAT AFTER THAT YOU HAVE UNDERTAKING WITH SO MANY OF YOUR COLLEAGUES HERE TODAY OFF TO A STAGE RIGHT I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR TALK MORE ABOUT THAT.

47:47
00:47:47
FOR THE LAST YEAR AND, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR MEMBERS HAVE BEEN PART OF A TASK FORCE. FINDING SOLUTIONS. WE’RE GONNA MEET TOMORROW WILL BACK IN AUGUST, TALKING AND LISTENING TO OUR CONSTITUENTS. WE WILL FINALIZE AND ROLL IT OUT IN SEPTEMBER. THE FIRST THING WE GOING TO DO, WILL MAKE NOT JUST AMERICAN ENERGY INDEPENDENT AND WILL BE DOMINANT. WE ARE LOWER THIS GAS PRICE AND HELPED EASE INFLATION. THEY HAVE ADDED NINE TRILLION MORE DOLLARS THEY’VE BEEN SPENDING SINCE THEY’VE TAKEN OVER. IT WILL CURVE THE SPENDING IN THIS COUNTRY. SECONDLY, THEIR WHOLE POLICY THAT HAS GONE ON ABOUT DEFUNDING THE POLICE. WE WON’T DEFUND THE, WE ARE GONNA INCREASE THEM. AND YOU KNOW WET, WE WILL WITHHOLD MONEY FUNDING PROSECUTED THAT DOESN’T UPHOLD THE LAW AND PICKS AND CHOOSES WHO THEY GO TO PROSECUTE. . WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE A SECRETARY THAT SAYS THE BORDER SECURE AS WHEN IT’S NOT. I SEE KARA BORDER, AND THE DRUG TRADE AND STOP THE TERRORIST FROM COMING ACROSS THAT BORDER AS WELL. WE ARE ROLLING OUT A PARENT’S BILL OF RIGHTS. SHOULDN’T PARENTS HAVE A SAY IN A KIDS EDUCATION? WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A PLAN FOR THE LOSS LEARNING IN THE PANDEMIC. WE WON’T LEAVE THESE KIDS BEHIND. WE WILL GIVE HIM AN OPPORTUNITY. THE FREEDOM TO PICK THE SCHOOL THEY WANT TO GO TO, BUT MAKE SURE THEY DON’T FALL BEHIND AND THEY MOVE AHEAD. AT THE SAME TIME AND I WILL TELL YOU THIS, I SEE SOME OF THE CABINET MEMBERS THAT DID IN AMAZING JOB. WE ARE GONNA HOLD THESE NEW CABINETS ACCOUNTABLE. WE ARE GOING RIGHT IN THE MEN, BRING THEM IN. AND YOU KNOW WHAT, WE ARE GONNA RAIN BACK ALL OF THIS GREEN NEW DEAL WHEN WE ARE NOT BUILDING OUR ENERGY RIGHT HERE. WE WANT AMERICA TO LEAD THE NATION, MAKE SURE OUR NATURAL GAS AND NOT RUSSIA’S GOING INTO EUROPE. IT’S 41%. WE CARE ABOUT AMERICAN JOBS. MISTER SPEAKER, A QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU. THERE’S SOME TODAY THAT SAY THAT WE SHOULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE CAREFUL ABOUT PUTTING OUR VISION THERE. AND SO YOU ARE PUTTING AND TURNING PEOPLE AWAY FROM OUR SIDE. IN FACT WITH THE LEFT HAS DONE IS BASICALLY SAID THEY ARE DEFEATING THEMSELVES. AS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL ARCHITECTS, AT LEAST IN OUR LIFETIME. HOW DO YOU ANSWER THAT?

00:50:39
WELL, I HAVE TO DO THIS CAREFUL. I THINK PEOPLE THAT SAY THAT I’M NUTS. LET ME EXPLAIN, I FIRST WORKED WITH RONALD REAGAN IN 1974. RAEGAN’S ENTIRE CAREER PUT OUT A VISION. THE FIRST CONTRACT WAS 1980 ON THE CAPITOL STEPS WITH RONALD REAGAN. WELL WE DID 1994 AS WE STOOD ON REAGAN’S SHOULDERS. AND TO SOME EXTENT, I GUARANTEE YOU THAT THE HOUSE REPUBLICANS AND SENATE REPUBLICANS ARE GONNA STAND ON REAGAN’S SHOULDERS, AND SHOULDERS BECAUSE OVER THE YEARS WE’VE DONE A LOT OF STUFF. WE HAVE A PROJECT CALLED THE AMERICAN MAJORITY PROJECT, WOULD YOU CONCEAL THE DATA. THAT THE AMERICAN MAJORITY PROJECT DOT COM. THE MOST INTERESTING SINGLE QUESTION, DO YOU THINK WE NEED TO RESTORE THE AMERICA THAT WORKS? 80% OF THE COUNTRY, IT’S A MAJORITY OF DEMOCRATS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, SPANISH — YOU KNOW, ASIAN AMERICANS. YOU NAME IT, THEY ALL UNDERSTAND IT’S NOT WORKING. I THINK THE KEY TO THIS, I HAVE — I’VE BEEN AROUND SO LONG, I THINK I CAN SAY THIS BLUNTLY. I HAVE NO PATIENCE WITH POLITICIANS WHO THINK THEIR JOB IS TO WIN AN ELECTION SO THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO. LINCOLN DIDN’T SAY, IT’S OF THE LOBBYIST, BY THE POLITICIAN, FOR THE BUREAUCRAT. I THINK WE AS A REPUBLICAN AFTER THE, ARE WE PREPARED TO REALLY LIVE UP TO LINCOLN’S STANDARDS? I THINK WE ARE. I THINK KEVIN IS DOING AN AMAZING JOB. I WANT TO COMMEND EVERY HOUSE REPUBLICAN THAT IS HERE TODAY. YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT FOR AMERICA. AND I WANT TO URGE ALL OF YOU TO TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS IN THE SENATE. TO SUGGEST TO THEM THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO HAVE SENATORS ALSO PUBLICLY COMMITTED ADVANCE. BAGEL ACTIONS SHOULD LEAD TO HONEST IMPLEMENTATION OF BIG COMMITMENTS. THAT’S IT MAKES HISTORY. WE’RE NOT JUST RUNNING FOR FUN, RUNNING TO SAVE THE GREATEST NATION ON THE PLANET. YOU CAN DO THAT WITH THE HELP OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THE ISSUES WE PICTURE SO POPULAR THAT ON THE AVERAGE VOTE FOR THE CONTRACT WITH AMERICA WANTS TO BE ONE, 63 DEMOCRATS VOTED WITH THIS ON AVERAGE. THAT IS PRETTY DARN BIPARTISAN. I BELIEVE NEXT YEAR, ONCE THE PELOSI DICTATORSHIP IS GONE AND ONCE WE AOC IS DOWN TO THE RELEVANCE SHE DESERVES. THEY WANT TO CHAT AND TALKING WRITE SOME BILLS TOGETHER.

00:53:40
THEY WILL HAVE A REAL WAKING, NO LONGER CAN YOU NOT SHOW UP TO WORK AND GET PAID. WE’RE GONNA TAKE AWAY THE PROXY VOTING. WE ON THE VERY FIRST DAY, I SEE A FORMER TRADE UP HERE. ONE THING WE’RE GOING TO DO IS FINISH THE JOB. MILITARY MAKES A STRONG WITH DEPENDENCY MAKES THIS WEEK. WE WILL NO LONGER BE DEPENDENT ON CHINA. I WILL TELL YOU THIS, VAN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE SPEAKER WE WILL HAVE A COMMITTEE ON CHINA. THEY WON’T CONTROL OUR MEDICINE, AMERICA WILL DETERMINE THEIR OWN DESTINY. WE ARE ONLY DEPENDENT ON OURSELVES. THE WORLD IS GOING TO BE SAFER.

 

Brooke Rollins-AFPI

00:54:25
AMEN, THAT IS INCREDIBLY WELL SAID. ALL RIGHT TO WRAP THIS UP AND MOVE TO THE STAR OF THE SHOW, NOW THAT SHE BOTH AREN’T BRIGHT STARS. I KNOW, I KNOW. ONE QUICK PIECE OF ADVICE FROM THE FORMER SPEAKER TO PERHAPS A FUTURE SPEAKER, WHAT WOULD IT BE? SPEAKER GINGRICH?

Gingrich

00:54:46
I THINK KEVIN IS DOING A OF A JOB, I THINK YES TO KEEP DOING.

Rollins

00:54:51
THERE YOU GO. HAVE A HUGE ROUND OF APPLAUSE. [APPLAUSE] WE ONCE AGAIN FIND OURSELVES IN THE FIGHT FOR AMERICAS LIFE. THE SEQUEL HAS ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN.

 

MHProNews Note: at about 55:30, an AFPI presentation video begins, the first part of which the CSPAN video missed but is at times visible from the monitors shown on the screen. But most of the AFPI presentation video is visible prior to the 45th President of the United States (POTUS) taking the stage.

 

00:55:38
WE ARE TAKING THE FIRST STEP. ONLY THIS TIME, FOUNDED BY THE GREATEST PRESIDENT OF THE MODERN ERA.

45th U.S. President, Donald J. Trump

00:57:42
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WOW. [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU.
01:00:12
USA! YOU AS A!
01:00:17
WELL, I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY AND IT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE SO MANY FRIENDS AND VERY VERY FAMILIAR FACES. IT IS A GREAT HONOR TO BE WITH YOU. I WANT TO BEGIN BY THANKING THE AMERICA FIRST POLICY INSTITUTE. MY MOM I HAVE YOU COME A LONG WAY. FOR HOSTING ME FOR TODAY’S REMARKS AND IN PARTICULAR, TO RECOGNIZE AMERICA FIRST POLICY INSTITUTE PRESIDENT BROOKE ROLLINS. [APPLAUSE] FANTASTIC WOMAN. ANOTHER FANTASTIC WOMAN’S LINDA MCMAHON, CHAIRWOMAN AND MY FRIEND LARRY — WHEN I WANT TO LEARN ABOUT THE MARKETS, I CALL LARRY. THANK YOU, LARRY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE ARE HONORED TO BE JOINED AS WELL BY HOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADER AND A FRIEND OF MINE AND A GREAT MAN, KEVIN MCCARTHY. KEVIN, THANK YOU. I SEE YOUR FRIEND STEVE. — TWO GREAT PEOPLE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALSO TO THE MANY MEMBERS. I WOULD INTRODUCE YOU, BUT IT WOULD BE ALL DAY BECAUSE YOU HAVE SO MANY. MANY MEMBERS OF HOUSE AND SENATE, FORMER MEMBERS OF MY CABINET AND ADMINISTRATION, STATE, LOCAL LEADERS AND COUNTLESS OTHER DISTINGUISHED GUESTS. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE. A REAL PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU. JUST TWO YEARS AGO, WITH THE HELP OF MANY PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM, WE HAD A BOOMING ECONOMIC RECOVERY LIKE NOBODY HAS SEEN BEFORE, THE STRONGEST AND MOST SECURE BORDER IN U.S. HISTORY, ENERGY INDEPENDENCE AND EVEN ENERGY DOMINANCE, HISTORICALLY LOW GAS PRICES, AS YOU KNOW. NO INFLATION, A FULLY REBUILT MILITARY AND A COUNTRY THAT WAS HIGHLY RESPECTED ALL OVER THE WORLD BY OTHER LEADERS AND OTHER COUNTRIES, HIGHLY RESPECTED. SIMPLY, WE HAD MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. WE MADE IT GREAT AGAIN AND WE DID IT BY PUTTING WORKERS FIRST, FAMILIES FIRST, AND ABOVE ALL, BY PUTTING AMERICA FIRST. [APPLAUSE] BUT NOW OUR COUNTRY HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO ITS KNEES, LITERALLY, BROUGHT TO ITS KNEES. WHO COULD’VE THOUGHT THIS COULD HAPPEN? INFLATION IS THE HIGHEST IN 49 YEARS, 9.1%. A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK IT IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT. GAS PRICES HAVE REACHED THE HIGHEST IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY. WE HAVE BECOME A BAGGER NATION, GROVELING TO OTHER COUNTRIES FOR ENERGY. MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL — OUR STAMPEDING ACROSS OUR OPEN BORDERS, POURING INTO OUR COUNTRY. IT’S AN INVASION. DEMOCRAT RUN CITIES ARE SETTING ALL-TIME MURDER RECORDS. OUR COUNTRY IS BEING DEALT ONE HISTORIC, HUMILIATION AFTER ANOTHER ON THE WORLD STAGE. AND AT HOME, OUR MOST BASIC RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES ARE TOTALLY UNDER SIEGE. THE AMERICAN DREAM IS BEING TORN TO SHREDS AND WE WILL NOT HAVE A COUNTRY LEFT IF THIS ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND ATTACK ON CIVILIZATION ITSELF IS NOT QUICKLY REVERSED. NEWT GINGRICH, WHO IS IN OUR AUDIENCE, TOLD ME THIS MORNING THAT OUR COUNTRY HAS NOT BEEN THIS WEEK IN TERMS OF PRESTIGE AND RELATIVE ECONOMIC AND RESPECT SINCE THE CIVIL WAR. AND YET, THERE IS TIME FOR US TO BRING AMERICA BACK FROM THE BRINK. IT IS AT THE BRINK. WE NEED TO BRING IT BACK FROM THE BRINK. WE GATHER TODAY ON THE VERGE OF A HISTORIC MIDTERM ELECTION. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE POISED TO REJECT THE FAILED REIGN OF JOE BIDEN, NANCY PELOSI, AND THE RADICAL LEFT IN A MOMENTOUS LANDSLIDE. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY. THIS NOVEMBER, THE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO VOTE TO STOP THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR COUNTRY. AND THEY’RE GOING TO VOTE TO RESCUE AMERICA’S FUTURE. I AM HERE BEFORE YOU TO BEGIN TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE MUST DO TO ACHIEVE THAT FUTURE. WHEN WE WIN A TRIUMPHANT VICTORY IN 2022 AND WIN A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT TAKES BACK THE WHITE HOUSE IN 2024, WHICH I STRONGLY BELIEVE WILL HAPPEN — [APPLAUSE] THERE IS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT TO BE DONE, FROM REVIVING OUR ECONOMY TO LIBERATING OUR ENERGY, TO RESTORING OUR STANDING IN THE WORLD. BUT FOR THIS AFTERNOON, I WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT SOME OF THE CORE ELEMENTS OF OUR AGENDA AND IN PARTICULAR, PUBLIC SAFETY, WHICH WE HAVE VERY LITTLE OF. THERE IS NO HIGHER PRIORITY THAN CLEANING UP OUR STREETS, CONTROLLING OUR BORDERS, STOPPING THE DRUGS FROM POURING IN AND QUICKLY RESTORING LAW AND ORDER IN AMERICA. [APPLAUSE] UNDER THE DEMOCRAT RULE, IN DEMOCRAT RUNS CITY’S, DEMOCRAT RUN STATES AND A DEMOCRAT RUN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THE CRIMINALS HAVE BEEN GIVEN FREE REIN, MORE THAN EVER BEFORE. THERE IS NEVER BEEN A TIME LIKE THIS. OUR STREETS ARE RIDDLED WITH NEEDLES AND SOAKED WITH THE BLOOD OF INNOCENT VICTIMS. MANY OF OUR ONCE GREAT CITIES FROM NEW YORK TO CHICAGO TO L.A., WHERE THE MIDDLE CLASS USED TO FLOCK TO LIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM, ARE NOW WAR ZONES. LITERAL WAR ZONES. EVERY DAY, THERE ARE STABBINGS, RAPES, MURDERS, AND VIOLENT ASSAULT OF EVERY KIND IMAGINABLE. BLOODY TURF WARS RAGE WITHOUT MERCY. PARENTS ARE WORRIED SICK THAT THEIR KIDS WILL GET SHOT. ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL OR ON THE WAY BACK HOME. SADISTS WHO PREY ON CHILDREN ARE RELEASED ON BAIL. BUT THERE IS NO BAIL AND THERE IS NO BOND — DRUGGED OUT LUNATIC’S ATTACKED INNOCENT VICTIMS AT RANDOM, ROVING MOBS OF THIEVES WALK INTO THE STORES AND WALK OUT WITH WHATEVER MERCHANDISE THEY CAN CARRY. LEFT ALONE — NOBODY TELLS THEM, DON’T DO THIS. PUT IT BACK NOW. HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS ARE TAKING OVER EVERY PUBLIC PARK AND EVERY PATCH OF GREEN SPACE AND PREVIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL URBAN CENTERS. AND THE DANGEROUSLY DERANGED ROAM OUR STREETS WITH IMPUNITY. WE ARE LIVING IN SUCH A DIFFERENT COUNTRY. THE ONE PRIMARY REASON THERE IS NO LONGER RESPECT FOR THE LAW AND THERE CERTAINLY IS NO ORDER — OUR COUNTRY IS NOW A CESSPOOL OF CRIME. WE HAVE BLOOD, DEATH, AND SUFFERING ON A SCALE ONCE ON THINK-ABLE BECAUSE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY’S EFFORT TO DESTROY AND DISMANTLE LAW ENFORCEMENT ALL THROUGHOUT AMERICA. IT NEEDS TO STOP AND IT NEEDS TO STOP NOW. [APPLAUSE] AND PHILADELPHIA LAST MONTH, A 73 YEAR OLD MAN WAS WALKING ALONG THE STREET, WHEN HE WAS APPROACHED BY A BAND OF 17 NATURE’S WHO ATTACKED HIM FOR SPORT AND BEAT HIM TO DEATH WITH A TRAFFIC CONE. BEAT HIM LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE BEATEN BEFORE, LAUGHING AS THEY BLUDGEONED THE LIFE FROM THEIR HELPLESS VICTIMS, CACKLING AS THEY LEFT HIS BODY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, DAD. IN NEW YORK, A 35 YEAR OLD WOMAN WAS STALKED BACK TO HER BUILDING BY A HOMELESS CAREER CRIMINAL, HE SLIPPED INTO HER APARTMENT AS SHE OPENED THE DOOR, STAB HER REPEATEDLY AS SHE SCREAMED FOR HELP, AND LEFT HER BLEEDING TO DEATH IN HER OWN BATHTUB. PREVIOUSLY, THAT MAN HAD BEEN ARRESTED AND RELEASED MORE THAN HALF A DOZEN TIMES. HERE IN WASHINGTON, D.C., JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, A HARDWORKING LANDSCAPER MADE THE HORRIBLE MISTAKE, HOW THE MISS FORTUNE, TO BLOW A FEW PLATES OF GRASS INTO A SITTING CAR. AND HE WAS BLUDGEONED, ABSOLUTELY BLUDGEONED AND SHOT, COLD BLOODED, POINT BLANK RANGE, LEAVING BEHIND A GRIEVING WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN. IT WAS A GOOD MAN. EVERYBODY LOVES HIM. THERE ARE SO MANY STORIES, I COULD FILL A HOLE SPEECH WITH THEM. I COULD GO ON FOR MONTHS AND YEARS. A PREGNANT WOMAN MURDERED OUTSIDE HER HOME AS SHE UNLOADED THE GIFT FROM HER BABY SHOWER, A YOUNG GIRL, STRUCK IN THE HEAD WITH A BULLET, WHILE DRIVING HER FAMILY — A 61-YEAR-OLD WOMAN BURGLARIZED, RAPED, MURDERED, AND SET ON FIRE IN HER HOME, 70 YEAR OLD WOMAN AND A 34 — VICIOUSLY STABBED TO DEATH BY A MAN WHO HAD BEEN ARRESTED FOR FELONY ARSON JUST EIGHT DAYS PRIOR AND WAS IMMEDIATELY RELEASED. LOTS OF, TODAY A MAN WAS STRUCK BY A CAR WHILE CROSSING THE STREET IN NEW YORK. AND THE DRIVER PULLED OVER AND ROBBED HIM AS HE LAY UNCONSCIOUS, STRUGGLING FOR HIS LIFE. — LAST NIGHT, HE WAS SO BADLY HURT, HE WAS UNCONSCIOUS AND HE WAS ROBBED BY THE PERSON THAT HIT HIM. ALL ON TAPE. SOME OF THESE CHILLING STORIES ARE DIFFICULT TO HEAR. BUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR THEM AND YOU HAVE TO HEAR THEM. ESPECIALLY THE POLITICIANS IN THE AUDIENCE THAT ARE GOING TO GIVE US THE POWER TO BRING OUR COUNTRY BACK AND TO MAKE OUR COUNTRY SAFE. MURDER IN OUR COUNTRY IS UP 51%. WE MUST NEVER ALLOW OURSELVES — [INAUDIBLE] COURAGE TO SAY WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID AND TO DO IT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO KEEP AMERICA SAFE. WE HAVE NEVER HAD A TIME LIKE THIS. WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING CLOSE TO WHAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. WE OWE IT TO THE VICTIMS, WE OWE IT TO THE FAMILIES, AND WE OWE IT TO OUR COUNTRY TO DO THE RIGHT THING. IN THE MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN MOVEMENT, WE BELIEVE THAT EVERY CITIZEN OF EVERY BACKGROUND SHOULD BE ABLE TO WALK ANYWHERE IN THIS NATION AT ANY HOUR OF THE DAY, WITHOUT EVEN A THOUGHT OF BEING VICTIMIZED BY VIOLENT CRIME. IF WE DON’T HAVE SAFETY, WE DON’T HAVE FREEDOM, WE DON’T HAVE A COUNTRY. AMERICA FIRST MUST MEAN, SAFETY FIRST. WE NEED TO HAVE SAFETY. STARTING WITH OUR NEW MAJORITIES IN CONGRESS NEXT YEAR, AND CONTINUING ON TO THE NEXT REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT, WE NEED AN ALL OUT EFFORT TO DEFEAT VIOLENT CRIME IN AMERICA AND STRONGLY DEFEAT IT AND BE TOUGH AND BE NASTY AND BE MEAN IF WE HAVE TO. HERE IS WHAT WE MUST DO. [APPLAUSE] — TO RESTORE PUBLIC SAFETY — FIRST, WE NEED TO GIVE OUR POLICE BACK THEIR AUTHORITY, RESOURCES, POWER, AND PRESTIGE. [APPLAUSE] WE NEED TO LEAVE OUR POLICE ALONE. EVERY TIME THEY DO SOMETHING, THEY’RE AFRAID THEY’RE GOING TO BE DESTROYED, THEIR PENSION IS GOING TO BE TAKEN AWAY, THEY’LL BE FIRED, PUT IN JAIL. LET THEM DO THEIR JOB, GIVE THEM BACK THE RESPECT THAT THEY DESERVE. [APPLAUSE] OUR GREAT POLICE KNOW WHAT TO DO. WE NEED TO ALLOW THEM TO DO IT. WE NEED TO RETURN, TO STOP AND FRISK POLICIES IN CITIES AND NOT SHY AWAY FROM IT. [APPLAUSE] I WATCHED AS OTHER POLITICIANS RECENTLY APOLOGIZED FOR STOP AND FRISK, WHERE CITIES WERE SAFE. AND THEY APOLOGIZED. AND THOSE CITIES ARE NO LONGER SAFE. STOP AND FRISK, IT WORKS. DO IT JUDICIOUSLY, BUT IT WORKS AND IT HAS WORKED BRILLIANTLY. TAKE THE GUNS AWAY FROM THE CRIMINALS WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE GUNS. LET THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO HAVE GUNS, THAT NEED TO HAVE GUNS, LET THEM HAVE THEM, BUT TAKE THEM AWAY FROM THE CRIMINALS. [APPLAUSE] IF YOU ARE CONVICTED FELON AND YOU HAVE A GUN, YOU ARE OFF THE STREETS AND YOU KNOW WHERE YOU GO. THE MERE CONCEPT OF DEFUNDING THE POLICE SHOULD NEVER AGAIN BE STATED OR EVEN HEARD. IT IS SO RIDICULOUS AND SO DANGEROUS. LIKE, WAS THE IDEA OF STRIPPING THEM OF THEIR LIABILITY SHIELDS. THINK OF THEM. THEY’RE IN TROUBLE. GO OUT AND FIRE — HIGHER YOUR OWN LAWYER. WE CANNOT STRIP THEM OF THEIR LIABILITY SHIELD IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM. WE NEED TO STAY WITH OUR POLICE OFFICERS. THEY ARE NEVER GOING TO HAVE — OUR POLICE OFFICERS ARE HEROES, PERFORMING A GREAT PUBLIC SERVICE AT GREAT PERSONAL RISK. UNBELIEVABLY DANGEROUS JOB. BY THE WAY, MORE DANGEROUS TODAY BY FAR, BY FAR, THAT IT HAS EVER BEEN. MISTAKES ARE MADE, BUT WE CANNOT ALLOW EVERY ISOLATED POLICING MISTAKE TO BE TURNED INTO A NATIONAL CRISIS AND ALL POWER TAKEN AWAY FROM OUR POLICE SO THAT PEOPLE ARE KILLED ALL OVER THE STREETS OF OUR COUNTRY. THE RADICAL LEFT ANTI POLICE NARRATIVE IS A TOTAL LIE. LET’S CALL IT THE BIG LIE. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THAT EXPRESSION BEFORE? [APPLAUSE] THE BIG LIE. THAT IS WHY NEXT YEAR ARE NEW MAJORITIES AND CONGRESS SHOULD VOTE TO STRENGTHEN QUALIFIED IMMUNITY AND OTHER PROTECTIONS FOR OUR GREAT — [INAUDIBLE] THEY NEED TO BECOME OUR HEROES. THEY ARE MINE. BUT SOME PEOPLE DON’T FEEL THAT WAY. [INAUDIBLE] OUR TIME — THEY DO THEIR DUTY. THEY PROTECT EVERYBODY. [INAUDIBLE] BECAUSE THEY’RE FREE TO COME IN. THEY SEE ALL THE STORIES — AND THE LACK OF SAFETY. WE MUST UPHOLD OUR DUTY TO PROTECT OUR POLICE OFFICERS BECAUSE OF THE RADICAL DEMOCRATS AND BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY HAVE DONE, DRIVING RECORD NUMBERS OF — THE NEW CONGRESS IMMEDIATELY PASSED EMERGENCY FUNDING TO CLEAR AND RETAIN — [INAUDIBLE] WE NEED TO GO IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. [APPLAUSE] I HAVE NOT SEEN IN A LONG TIME ANY BILLS WANTING TO BE PAST WHERE THEY GET THE POLICE STRENGTH. IT’S ALWAYS, LET’S TAKE MORE AWAY. LET’S TAKE MORE AWAY. LET’S TAKE IMMUNITY. LET’S TAKE EVERYTHING WE CAN. TAKE THEIR PENSIONS IF THEY SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TOO TOUGH. CAN’T DO THAT ANYMORE. OUR COUNTRY IS GOING TO — IT IS GOING TO — VERY FAST. WE NEED THE LARGEST INCREASE IN THE HIRING OF POLICE OFFICERS AND AMERICAN HISTORY. THIS IS WHAT THIS WILL BE. WE WILL GET THAT DONE. I HAVE NO DOUBT, KEVIN, WE WILL GET THAT DONE. STEVE, WE WILL GET THAT DONE. WE GET MORE POLICE ON THE STREETS THAN EVER BEFORE, WALKING EVERY BEAT AND WITH GREAT RESPECT. THERE SHOULD BE A SQUAD CAR ON EVERY CORNER IF THAT IS WHAT IT TAKES TO STOP THE KILLING. AGAIN, I DON’T WANT TO MAKE THIS PARTISAN. BUT EVERY CITY, EVERY SINGLE CITY, IS RUN BY DEMOCRATS. EVERY SINGLE CITY. THEY’RE IN TROUBLE. LIKE THE KIND OF TROUBLE WE’RE TALKING ABOUT. IT’S RUN BY DEMOCRATS IN THE CRAZY POLICIES THAT THEY PUT FORTH. AND THEY CAN’T BELIEVE THEM. AND CERTAINLY AFTER ALL OF THESE TIME WITH THE BAD RESULTS, YOU WOULD SAY, SHE, IT’S TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE. BUT I DO BELIEVE EVEN THE MAJORITY OF THE DEMOCRATS WOULD SAY THAT THEY DON’T WANT TO BE BRUTALIZED — EXACTLY WHAT I’M SAYING IS RIGHT. THIRD, WE NEED A NO HOLDS BARRED NATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO DISMANTLE GANGS AND ORGANIZED CRIME IN AMERICA. [APPLAUSE] DURING MY PRESIDENCY, WE SENT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MS 13 GANG MEMBERS BACK OUT OF OUR COUNTRY. WE EITHER WOULD IDEALLY SEND THEM OUT AND IN SOME CASES THERE WERE SO BAD AND SO DANGEROUS, WE PUT THEM IN JAIL BECAUSE WE DIDN’T TRUST THE OTHER COUNTRIES TO HOLD THEM. YOU KNOW OTHER COUNTRIES VERY HAPPILY’S AND ALL THEIR CRIMINALS THROUGH OUR OPEN BORDER INTO THE UNITED STATES, WE ARE — THEY ARE EMPTYING THEIR JAILS INTO THE UNITED STATES. WE ARE LIKE A DUMPING GROUND. WE’RE NOT GOING TO ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN. WE KNOW WHERE THESE GANGS OPERATE, WHAT STREETS THEY CONTROL. WE HAVE ANOTHER NAMES. THE POLICE OFFICERS KNOW THEIR NAMES. THE PROBLEM IS THEY’RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AND THEY WANT TO. WE NEED TO GET IN THERE IMMEDIATELY. GO AND EVERY DRUG DEN, EVERY STASH HOUSE, EVERY HIDEAWAY AND ROUND UP THE DEALERS AND KILLERS AND GANG MEMBERS AND CHARGED THEM WITH ANY AND EVERY CRIME THAT WE FIND AND THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM. DRUG CRIMES, SEX CRIMES, ALL SORTS OF CRIMES. VICIOUS HORRIBLE CRIMES LIKE WE HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE NOT ON A SCALE LIKE THIS. IT’S A WAR ZONE. TO LEAD THIS EFFORT A VIOLENT CRIME TASK FOREST COMBINED — SHOULD BE TASKED WITH DESTROYING THESE ORGANIZATIONS AND THE PENALTIES SHOULD BE VERY SEVERE. IF YOU LOOK AT COUNTRIES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, THE ONES THAT DON’T HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM ARE THOSE THAT INSTITUTE A VERY QUICK TRIAL, DEATH PENALTY SENTENCE FOR DRUG DEALERS. IT SOUNDS HORRIBLE, DOESN’T IT? BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT IS THE ONES THAT DON’T HAVE ANY PROBLEM. IT DOESN’T TAKE 15 YEARS IN COURT. IT GOES QUICKLY. AND YOU ABSOLUTELY EXECUTE A DRUG DEALER AND YOU WILL SAY 500 LIVES. THEY KILL ON AVERAGE 500 PEOPLE. IT IS TERRIBLE TO SAY, BUT YOU TAKE A LOOK AT EVERY COUNTRY IN THIS WORLD THAT DOESN’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH DRUGS. THEY HAVE A VERY STRONG DEATH PENALTY FOR THE PEOPLE THAT SELL DRUGS. IF WE’RE GOING TO STOP THE SCORE — [APPLAUSE] IT IS TIME TO GET BRUTALLY TOUGH ON THE DEALERS AND TRAFFICKERS AND NARCO TERRORIST CARTELS THAT ARE STEALING OVER 200,000 AMERICAN LIVES A YEAR. THAT’S A VERY LOW NUMBER COMPARED TO WHAT THE REAL NUMBER IS. THINK OF IT. 200,000. YOU DON’T LOSE THAT IN WARS. YOU DON’T LOSE THAT IN WARS. AND YES, THESE DRUG TRAFFICKERS SHOULD AND MUST RECEIVE THE DEATH PENALTY. AND I’LL TELL YOU, JUST FROM DEALING WITH THE HEADS OF OTHER COUNTRIES, I SAID TO PRESIDENT — OF CHINA. DO YOU HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM? NO, WHY DO WE ASK SUCH A QUESTION?

01:21:01
HE ALMOST DIDN’T KNOW WHEN I WAS TALKING ABOUT. I SAID, WHY DO YOU THINK? HE SAID, IF SOMEBODY IS SELLING DRUGS, THEY GET THE QUICK TRIAL. MEANING, IT GOES FAST. AND THEY GET THE DEATH PENALTY. BUT WHEN I ASKED HIM, I SAID, DO YOU HAVE IN ANY WAY A DRUG PROBLEM? THEY DO HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM. THEY MAKE DRUGS AND SOME INTO OUR COUNTRY. BUT I HAD IT STOPPED. THAT WAS A DRUG PROBLEM THEY HAD. WE HAD IT STOPPED. NOW IT’S BIGGER. FENTANYL, THEY MAKE MOST OF A AND THEY SEND IT THROUGH MEXICO, THROUGH THE BORDER, AND WE HAD A JUST ABOUT STOPPED. AND NOW THE BORDER, AS YOU KNOW, IT’S JUST A HORRIBLE SITUATION. BUT YOU LOOK AT SINGAPORE, OTHER COUNTRIES WHERE THEY HAVE THE DEATH PENALTY, NO DRUG PROBLEM WHATSOEVER. AND IF WE DID THAT, IN ONE HERE, EVEN IF IT WAS NOT STRONG, BECAUSE IT’S NEVER GOING TO BE QUITE LIKE CHINA, I WOULD SAY. WHAT DO YOU THINK, KEVIN? DO YOU THINK IT WILL EVER — NO MATTER HOW TOUGH WE GET, IT WILL NEVER BE QUITE A QUICK TRIAL, TWO HOURS. NOT TWO YEARS. NOT 20 YEARS. NO, WE WILL HAVE THAT. BUT JUST BY THE MERE FACT THAT YOU HAVE THAT, IMMEDIATELY, NEWT, DRUG DEALING WOULD GO DOWN AND DEATH WOULD GO DOWN BY AT LEAST 50%. IF THE RADICAL DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS AT THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVELS REFUSED TO PROTECT PUBLIC SAFETY AND INSTEAD TURNED CRIMINALS LOOSE TO PREY UPON THE INNOCENT, AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO STEP IN, NOT WAIT FOR THE GOVERNORS ANYMORE. I WAS MANDATED, WAIT FOR THE GOVERNOR’S, BUT SOMETIMES I COULDN’T DO THAT. I WAS WATCHING TOO MANY THINGS HAPPENING. MINNESOTA, MINNEAPOLIS, WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF WE DIDN’T SEND IN THE NATIONAL GUARD. THEY WOULDN’T HAVE A CITY LEFT. WE SHOULD NOT BE DOING THAT ANYMORE — IF A GOVERNOR WANTS TO HAVE VAST NUMBERS OF PEOPLE KILLED AND RIOTS AND ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE, WE CAN’T WAIT ANY LONGER — WE WILL PASS LEGISLATION WHERE YOU CAN IMMEDIATELY GO IN AND HELP THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE UNDER SIEGE. AND THEY HAVE GOVERNORS THAT DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY’RE DOING. [APPLAUSE] UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS THE RIGHT TO DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, BUT WE CAN’T DO THAT. WE CAN GET THAT. IT’S A DUTY FOR US TO USE EVERY TOOL, EVERY AUTHORITY AND CONSTITUTIONAL POWER AT OUR DISPOSAL TO DEFEND THE CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY. IF WE HAVE A WEAK, FOOLISH, AND STUPID GOVERNOR THAT IS ALLOWING THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE SAW TO TAKE PLACE, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO GO IN AND WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO CLEAN OUT THE MESS. AND IT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED OUT QUICKLY, STRONGLY. IT NEEDS TO GO FAST. JUST LAST WEEK, A MAN TRIED TO STAB A SITTING MEMBER OF CONGRESS, RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK. GOOD MAN. GOOD PERSON. [APPLAUSE] AND UNDER THE NEW YORK STATE POLICIES, THE ATTACKER WAS RELEASED WITHIN HOURS ON BAIL. AND ACCORDING TO A STUDY REPORTED LAST WEEK IN THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, A MAJORITY OF MURDERS IN BALTIMORE ARE COMMITTED BY SUSPECTS, WHO SHOULD RIGHTFULLY BE IN PRISON, BUT ARE INSTEAD ROAMING FREE UNDER DEMOCRAT RULE. ALMOST ALL DEMOCRAT RULE IS — THE NEXT CONGRESS AND THE NEXT PRESIDENT SHOULD CRACK DOWN ON THIS INSANITY. AND CRACKDOWN VERY HARD AND VERY QUICKLY. THE CIVIL LIBERTIES OF PEOPLE, THE SAFETY OF LAW-ABIDING AMERICANS CANNOT BE VIOLATED BY WEEK MARES AND COWARDLY GOVERNORS OR PEOPLE WHO JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY’RE DOING. THESE ARE SMART PEOPLE. THEY DON’T GET THERE WITHOUT BEING INTELLIGENT PEOPLE. THEY MUST NOW. THE ONLY OTHER THING YOU COULD SAY IS THAT THEY HATE OUR COUNTRY. AND I DON’T KNOW. IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE THEY HATE OUR COUNTRY. BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THEY HAD OUR COUNTRY. IT’S THE ONLY REASON THEY ALLOW THINGS LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN. BECAUSE JUST FROM A COMMON SENSE STANDPOINT, HOW CAN YOU ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN AND JUST LOOK AT THE STATISTICS, HOW BAD IT BECOMES. THERE ARE RADICAL AND RACIST PROSECUTORS DENYING CITIZENS THE FULL PROTECTION OF THE LAWS. THOSE OFFICERS NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THEY ARE SYSTEMATIC VIOLATIONS OF CIVIL RIGHTS HAVE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. [APPLAUSE] AND WHERE THERE IS A TRUE AND TOTAL BREAKDOWN OF LAW AND ORDER, WHERE CITIZENS MOST BASIC RIGHTS HAVE BEEN VIOLATED, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN AND SHOULD SEND THE NATIONAL GUARD TO RESTORE ORDER AND SECURITY PEACE WITHOUT HAVING TO WAIT FOR THE APPROVAL OF SOME GOVERNOR THAT THINKS IT IS POLITICALLY INCORRECT TO CALL THEM IN. WHEN GOVERNORS REFUSED TO PROTECT THEIR PEOPLE, WE NEED TO BRING IN WHAT IS NECESSARY ANYWAY. WE NEED TO GO BEYOND THE GOVERNOR. ANOTHER 60 PEOPLE WERE SHOT, THINK OF THIS, IT’S NOT EVEN POSSIBLE. THEY WERE SHOT IN CHICAGO OVER THE WEEKEND. AND, FOR 18 MONTHS, NOT ONE OF OUR SOLDIERS WAS KILLED. AND THEY HAVE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE SHOT IN CHICAGO OVER THE WEEKEND. THINK OF IT. MANY DIED, BY THE WAY. MANY DIED. AND HOW MANY ARE SHOT. A LOT WILL DIE. THIS IS CONSTANT IN CHICAGO. AND THIS CANNOT GO ON ANYMORE. EVERY OTHER APPROACH HAS BEEN CONSIDERED AND TRIED. THEY’VE TRIED THE WEAK APPROACH. THEY’VE BEEN TRYING FOR YEARS. AND REALLY TRYING IT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. AND IT’S NOT WORKING. IT’S TIME TO GO A DIFFERENT ERECTION. AND ONLY ONE OPTION REMAINS. THE NEXT PRESIDENT NEEDS TO SEND THE NATIONAL GUARD TO THE MOST DANGEROUS NEIGHBORHOODS IN CHICAGO UNTIL SAFETY CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY RESTORED, WHICH CAN HAPPEN VERY, VERY QUICKLY. [APPLAUSE] WE NEED TO TAKE BACK OUR STREETS AND PUBLIC SPACES FROM THE HOMELESS, THE DRUG ADDICTED, AND THE DANGEROUSLY DERANGED. WHAT IS HAPPENED TO OUR CITIES? LOOK AT SAN FRANCISCO, SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CITY. AND TODAY, PEOPLE DON’T EVEN LOOK AT THE BEAUTY, THEY JUST WANT TO TRY AND MAKE IT TO THEIR OFFICE OR THEIR HOME. LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AGO, MAYBE — A BELOVED NASCAR STAR, GREAT STAR, WAS STABBED A DEATH OUT OF NOWHERE. THIS MAN SHOWED UP OUT OF NOWHERE — AS HE FILLED UP HIS CAR — BOBBY WAS FILLING UP HIS CAR AT A GOT DE SHAN AND THIS MAN VICIOUSLY ATTACKED AND KILLED HIM. DAYS EARLIER, AND OLYMPIAN IN WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL, GREAT PLAYER, WITH ATTACKED BY A HOMELESS MAN AS SHE WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET AND BRUTALLY HIT IN THE FACE WITH A METAL CLUB, ALMOST CAUSING HER DEATH AND VERY CLOSE TO CAUSING BLINDNESS. NO CIVILIZED ASIDE HE TURNS OVER ITS PUBLIC SPACES TO BE DOMINATED BY DRUG ADDICTS AND THE HOMELESS, NO MATTER WHAT THE RACE MAY BE. IF LIBERALS THINK IT IS SOMEHOW COMPASSIONATE, LET THEM INVITE THE HOMELESS TO CAMP IN THEIR BACKYARDS. SOIL THEIR PROPERTY, ATTACK THEIR FAMILIES, AND USE DRUGS WHERE THEIR CHILDREN ARE TRYING TO PLAY. LET THEM TRY IT. LET THEM TRY A. [APPLAUSE] LETTING PEOPLE LIVE IN THE STREET OF A MAJOR CITY OR ANYWHERE, FOR THAT MATTER, WITH NEEDLES, DRUGS, SQUALOR, IS NOT GOOD FOR ANYBODY. FOR THE GOOD OF EVERYONE INVOLVED, THE HOMELESS NEED TO GO TO SHELTERS, THE LONG TERM MENTALLY ILL NEED TO GO TO INSTITUTIONS, AND THE UNHOUSED DRUG ADDICTS NEED TO GO TO REHAB. OR IF NECESSARY, AND APPROPRIATE, JAIL. THEY’VE TAKEN OVER OUR CITIES. SO MANY OF OUR CITIES. IT’S NOT A LEVEL WHERE NOBODY CAN EVEN BELIEVE. BUT WHEREVER THEY GO, SURRENDERING OUR PARKS AND SIDEWALKS TO PEOPLE THAT IN MANY CASES, ARE CRAZED, VERY SICK, IT’S JUST NOT AN OPTION. LOOK, WE HAVE A PROBLEM. HITS A BIG PROBLEM. HOW DO YOU HANDLE THESE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE GETTING WORSE ALL THE TIME? HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS. IT WOULD TAKE YEARS TO BUILD HOSPITALS AND HOUSING FACILITIES TO TAKE CARE OF THEM, OKAY? LET’S PUT THAT OUT. THEY COULD — IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO BUILD HOUSES AND HOUSING, YEARS AND YEARS. RIGHT NOW, THEY’RE PUTTING HOMELESS AND SUPER LUXURY HOTELS, THE BEST HOTELS IN THE WORLD. PAYING MORE MONEY THAN THEY ARE CHARGING FOR WEALTHY PEOPLE, WHO WOULD’VE USUALLY PAID — THEY CAN PAY MORE MONEY. THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TONIGHT. AND EVEN AT THAT, THE OWNERS OF THE HOTELS ARE UNHAPPY BECAUSE WEALTHY PEOPLE AREN’T STAYING THERE ANYMORE. THEY DON’T WANT TO STAY THERE. WITH ALL OF THAT, THEY DON’T WANT TO STAY THERE. MY FOUGHT VERY HARD AND VERY SUCCESSFULLY IN STOPPING TENTS BEING BUILT ON D.C. PUBLIC PROPERTY. VERY HARD. [APPLAUSE] EVERY TIME I DRIVE THROUGH THE STREETS OF OUR BEAUTIFUL WASHINGTON D.C., BEAUTIFUL MONUMENTS, EVERYTHING SO BEAUTIFUL. AND THEN I WOULD SEE A CLUSTER OF TENTS AND I WOULD SEE IT HAPPENING, I WOULD SEND PEOPLE OUT IMMEDIATELY, SECRET SERVICE, BY THE WAY, DID A PHENOMENAL JOB. I WASN’T PEOPLE IT IMMEDIATELY TO GET RID OF THOSE TENS BEFORE — WHEN YOU HAVE FIVE OR SIX OR EIGHT, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE HUNDREDS OF THEM, AND EVEN THOUSANDS OF THEM, VERY HARD TO DO IT. IT COMES TOO LATE. BUT COMING IN TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I LEFT WASHINGTON D.C., IT IS NOT RECOGNIZABLE WHAT HAS HAPPENED, WHAT’S HAPPENED. THEY HAVE TENSE WITH HOMELESS AND OTHERS ALL OVER. I THINK THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PUBLIC SPACES ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. I CAN LOOK AT KENYANS — CANYONS AND OCEANS, THEY DON’T LOOK BEAUTIFUL NOW. WHO IS GOING TO WANT TO COME TO WASHINGTON, D.C., AND PERHAPS EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHEN A FOREIGN LEADER COMES OVER AND THEY HAVE LEADERS HERE, IT LEAVES SUCH A BAD IMPRESSION. THEY GO HOME AND SAY, WHAT KIND OF A COUNTRY HAS THE UNITED STATES TURNED INTO? AND YOU DON’T THINK BACK GETS AROUND? YOU HAVE TO SEE WHAT I SAW TODAY COMING IN. THE STREETS WERE DIRTY. THEY WERE LITTERED WITH PAPER. MAIN HIGHWAY, MAIN ROADS COMING, IN THE MAIN ROADS THAT WE ALL TAKE HAD MORE BOTTLES AND CIGARETTES AND EVERYTHING YOU COULD IMAGINE, PAPER OF ALL KINDS FROM ALL PLACES, LYING ALONG THE ROADS. THAT’S WITHOUT THE TENSE. AND THEN YOU LOOK AT THE TENSE AND THE HOMELESS AND YOU SAY, WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THIS GREAT BASTION? PERHAPS, SOME PEOPLE WILL NOT LIKE HEARING THIS, BUT THE ONLY WAY YOU’RE GOING TO REMOVE THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND MAYBE THROUGHOUT OUR NATION, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT, AND HELP MAKE OUR CITIES CLEAN, SAFE, AND BEAUTIFUL AGAIN, IT IS TO OPEN UP A LARGE PARCELS OF INEXPENSIVE LAND IN THE OUTER REACHES OF THE CITIES, BRING MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, INCLUDING DOCTORS, PSYCHIATRIST’S, PSYCHOLOGISTS, DRUG REHAB SPECIALISTS, BUILD PERMANENT BATHROOM AND OTHER FACILITIES. MAKE THEM GOOD. BUT BUILD THEM FAST. AND CREATE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF HIGH QUALITY TENSE, WHICH CAN BE DONE IN ONE DAY, ONE DAY. YOU HAVE TO MOVE PEOPLE OUT. SOME PEOPLE SAY, THAT’S A HORRIBLE. NO, WHAT’S HORRIBLE IS WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW. BECAUSE NOW THEY’RE INTENSE, BUT MOST OF THEM AREN’T EVEN TOWNS THAT FUNCTION. BUT WE HAVE TO DO IT BECAUSE YOU CAN PUT UP A TENT IN ONE DAY. IT WOULD BE TWO YEARS, THREE YEARS, A LONG TIME IF YOU’RE GOING TO BUILD HOUSING THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE KIND OF NUMBERS — WE’RE TALKING ONE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS AND PROBABLY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. IT WILL BE THE AMBITION OF THESE PEOPLE AND ALL OF US TO GET THEIR LIFE BACK ON TRACK, LEAVE THE TENT CITY, AND BE BACK INTO THE MAINSTREAM OF SOCIETY, WHICH IS THERE THEY WANT TO BE. [APPLAUSE] NOW, THE MEDIA WILL GO OUT AND SAY, TRUMP WANTS TO BUILD TENTS. I WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THE PEOPLE. NOTHING COULD BE AS BAD AS WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THEM RIGHT NOW. AND AT THE SAME TIME, I WANT TO SAVE OUR CITIES BECAUSE YOU’LL HAVE A TIME WHEN NOBODY WILL BE HERE ANYMORE. NO ONE WILL COME HERE, NO ONE WILL COME TO NEW YORK, CHICAGO, LOS ANGELES OR ANY OF OUR CITIES. TO BUILD MILLIONS OF HOUSING OR HOLDS HOMELESS PEOPLE IN LUXURY HOTELS, COSTING A FORTUNE FOR THE GOVERNMENT, AND HAVE NO MEDICAL OR REHAB PROFESSIONALS AVAILABLE, THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE — IT’S FRUITLESS. JUST LIKE SETTING UP A BLUE RIBBON COMMITTEE, STUFFED WITH PUBLICITY SEEKING SOCIALITES. I KNOW THEM ALL. AND ELECTRONS. I KNOW THEM ALL. TO HANDLE THE COYOTES, THE CARAVANS, THE VERY TOUGH DRUG DEALERS AND HUMAN TRAFFICKERS. IT’S FRUITLESS. THEY SET A BLUE RIBBON COMMITTEE — EVERYONE SOUTH, CAN I BE ON THE BLUE RIBBON COMMITTEE? HEADED UP BY MRS. VANDERBILT.

01:35:13
TO EMPOWER LOCAL COMMUNITIES TO DEAL WITH THESE CHALLENGES, THE NEXT CONGRESS SHOULD PASS A LANDMARK PACKAGE OF PUBLIC HEALTH, PUBLIC SAFETY, AND MENTAL HEALTH CARE REFORMS. CLEANER STREETS ARE SAFER STREETS AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO HELP CAMPAIGN FOR ANY OF THOSE BILLS AND I CAN TELL YOU, SPEAKING FOR KEVIN AND STEVE AND ALL OF THE CONGRESSMEN AND WOMEN IN THE ROOM AND THE SENATORS IN THE ROOM OF WHICH WE HAVE MANY, I THINK WILL HAVE NO TROUBLE GETTING VOTES FOR CLEANING UP OUR CITIES AND CLEANING UP OUR COUNTRY. AND MAKING IT SAFER BY A LOT. WE MUST RESTORE THE AGE OLD RIGHT TO SELF-DEFENSE. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO DEFEND OURSELVES. [APPLAUSE] WE HAVE ALL HEARD THE STORY OF THE BODEGA WORKER ON THE NIGHT SHIFT TO NEW YORK, WHO IS VIOLENTLY ASSAULTED, VIOLENT. IT WAS ON CAMERA, ON TAPE, THREE DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS, BY A MAN ATTEMPTING TO STEAL A BAG OF POTATO CHIPS, WHEN HE STABBED THE MAN IN SELF-DEFENSE, AFTER BEING REALLY ROUGHED UP AND BEAT UP, PUNCHED IN THE FACE — AND THE BODEGA WORKER WAS CHARGED WITH MURDER. THANKFULLY, AFTER A LOT OF PRESSURE, THOSE CHARGES WERE DROPPED. [APPLAUSE] BUT, THE MESSAGE SENT BY JAILING THIS MAN WAS THAT IF YOU ARE ATTACKED, YOU MUST LIE DOWN AS AN ACT OF SACRIFICE AND LET YOURSELF BE PUMMELED AND BEATEN TO DEATH TO UPHOLD THE LAPS OF VISION OF REIMAGINING PUBLIC SAFETY. THE VISION IS SICK. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO AGGRESSIVELY PROTECT THE RIGHT TO SELF-DEFENSE IN EVERY JURISDICTION WHERE IT IS NOW UNDER THREAT. [APPLAUSE] IT HASTER. — IF NECESSARY, CONGRESS SHOULD PASS LEGISLATION, SPURRING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO ACT. I DON’T KNOW HOW THEY CAN SAY NO TO IT. BUT THEY WILL FIND A WAY. AND WE SHOULD ALSO HAVE CONCEALED CARRY RECIPROCITY. [APPLAUSE] NUMBER SEVEN, FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD AGGRESSIVELY AND FORCE EXISTING STATUTES TO STOP THE PERVERTED SEXUAL -IZATION OF MINOR CHILDREN. [APPLAUSE] YOU HAVE THE STATUTES. A SOCIETY THAT REFUSES TO PROTECT ITS CHILDREN IT IS A SOCIETY THAT SOON WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT ANYBODY. THIS IS A HALLMARK OF CULTURAL AND SOCIAL DECAY, AGAINST WHICH WE SHOULD FIGHT BACK VERY HARD AND VERY SOON. WE DON’T HAVE TIME TO WAIT YEARS TO DO THIS. THE SICKOS WHO ARE PUSHING SEXUAL CONTENT IN KINDERGARTEN, WHO ARE PROVIDING PUBERTY BLOCKERS TO YOUNG CHILDREN WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS. NEITHER DO I, BY THE WAY. [LAUGHS] NEITHER DO MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE. LET’S JUST, CYBER NOT GOOD. BUT NOT JUST ENGAGED IN ACTS OF DEPRAVITY, IN MANY CASES, THEY’RE BREAKING THE LAW AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD FULLY ACCOUNTABLE. [APPLAUSE] AND BY THE WAY, WE SHOULD NOT ALLOW — [APPLAUSE] SO CRAZY. IT JUST SHOWS YOU WHAT THESE POLITICAL GENIUSES — THEY HAVE ALL THESE CONCERNS. DON’T SAY THAT. IT’S VERY CONTROVERSIAL.

01:39:38
THAT’S NOT WRITTEN DOWN ANYWHERE. I JUST THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME.

01:39:44
AND THAT GETS THE BIGGEST HAND. IT’S CRAZY. IT’S CRAZY. I TELL THE STORY OF THE GREAT SWIMMER, BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, WONDERFUL WOMAN. SHE’S BEEN SWIMMING FOR MANY YEARS. SHE WANTS TO BREAK THE WORLD RECORD. SHE THOUGHT THE POOL AND YOU WANT TO BREAK IT BY AN EIGHTH OF A SECOND. THAT’S LIKE, FAST. AND SHE’S GOING TO DO. IT SHE’S GETTING READY. SHE LOOKS DOWN, SHE SEES PEOPLE SHE’S BEEN COMPETING WITH FOR YEARS. BECAUSE THEY RISE TO THE TOP AND SHE LOOKS OVER HERE AND SHE SEES PEOPLE. BUT THEN SHE LOOKS. THEY CALLED US. THEY SAY THIS. — I SAID, YOU THINK IT’S OKAY TO SAY THAT? THAT’S ACTUALLY THE EXPRESSION I USED. BILL CHANGE THAT SOON, SO I NEED TO DO A QUICKLY. YOU KNOW THE GUY. — IT’S TRUE. — WE’RE NOT DEALING WITH THINGS THAT ARE SO EASY HERE. THIS IS A DIFFICULT PLACE IN THE WORLD. YOU WOULD ALMOST, SAY IS THE WORLD GOING CRAZY? BECAUSE 99% OF THE THINGS I’M SAYING OUR COMMON SENSE. BUT SHE LOOKS OVER AND SEES OUR FRIENDS DOWN THERE. AND THEN SHE LOOKS — AND I ALWAYS SAY, AND HE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED DURING THE MEATS — AND SHE DIDN’T BREAK THE RECORD, BUT — BROKE THE RECORD THAT. YOU KNOW THE NUMBER WAS? 38 SECONDS. SHE WANTED TO BREAK UP AN EIGHTH OF A SECOND. — BROKE UP BY 38 SECONDS. OR THE WEIGHTLIFTER. HAVING IS 218 POUNDS. THAT’S A LOT. I CAN’T LIFT IT. I DON’T KNOW WHO CAN. ANY OF OUR ACTS TRUMP EVIL. THEY’RE ALL TRUMP PEOPLE. KEVIN — I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THAT, KEVIN. BUT THAT’S A LOT. 218 POUNDS. AND SHE GOT OVER THAT WEIGHT AND SHE WAS GOING TO BREAK IT. THEY PUT A HALF AN OUNCE HERE, A LITTLE TINY RING ON TOP OF THESE BIG BARBELL, STUMBLES. AND SHE WENT LIKE THIS. STOOD FOR 11 YEARS. [NOISE] AND HER MOTHER AND FATHER ARE SCREAMING, YOU GOT IT! YOU GOT, IT DARLING, I’M SO PROUD. [NOISE] SHE COULDN’T DO IT. AND THEN, — COMES ALONG. –

01:42:26
AND HE LOOKS AT THE WAY. WORLD RECORD. WORLD RECORD. HE COULD’VE PUT A COUPLE OF POUNDS — IT IS SO DISRESPECTFUL. AND THEY SAY IT’S POLITICAL INCORRECT. [APPLAUSE] SO HORRIBLE. SO UNFAIR. IT’S SO UNFAIR. AND I’LL TELL YOU WHY — I WOULD BE THE GREATEST WOMAN’S BASKETBALL COACH. BECAUSE I LIKE LEBRON JAMES. I LIKE MICHAEL JORDAN MUCH BETTER. BUT I WOULD GO UP TO LEBRON JAMES AND SAY, LEBRON, DID YOU EVER HAVE ANY DESIRE TO BE A WOMAN? BECAUSE BUT I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO DO A STAR ON MY TEAM THAT I’M BUILDING UP. I WOULD HAVE THE GREATEST TEAM IN HISTORY. WE’LL NEVER LOSE. NOBODY WILL COME WITHIN 70 POINTS OF THIS TEAM. WE HAVE TO CHANGE THAT AND WE HAVE TO MAKE IT OKAY TO TALK ABOUT IT. YOU KNOW THE YOUNG LADY I WAS TALKING ABOUT IS AFRAID TO TALK ABOUT IT. SHE HAS SHUNNED AND CANCELED WHEN SHE TALKS ABOUT IT. THIS IS CRAZY. RIGHT, KELLYANNE? I LOVE KELLYANNE. [APPLAUSE] FINALLY, TO SECURE OUR COUNTRY WE NEED TO SECURE OUR BORDERS AND THERE’S NEVER BEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. [APPLAUSE] OUR OPEN BORDERS ARE A GAPING WOUND, ALLOWING DRUGS, GANGS, CHILD TRAFFICKERS, HUMAN STRAGGLERS — AND DANGEROUS CRIMINALS TO PORN TO OUR COUNTRY. THAT’S EVERY WEEK, WHEN YOU HEAR — PAT EVERY WEEK. I REALLY BELIEVE THE NUMBER. YOU’VE HEARD THREE, MILLION 4 MILLION. THEY HAD A PALM LAND SECURITY THE OTHER DAY SAID THAT OUR BORDER IS SECURE. I SAID, THE DEMOCRATS ARE ALL ABOUT DISINFORMATION. SOME PEOPLE SAY MISINFORMATION. I LIKE THIS INFORMATION SLIGHTLY BETTER, BUT THEY MEAN THE SAME THING. THEY WILL SAY SOMETHING, AND YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE IT. LIKE RUSSIA. OH, TRUMP IS AN AGENT OF RUSSIA. IF THEY KEPT SAYING, IT I MIGHT EVEN START BELIEVING AT ONE DAY. WHAT THEY DO IS THEY SAY THE STANDOFF. IT’S HAPPENING NOW AT THE JANUARY 6TH COMMITTEE. THEY SAY STUFF AND THEY THINK YOU ARE GOING TO BELIEVE IT. IT’S SERIOUS. IT’S HORRIBLE. BUT HE SET OUR BORDERS TO CARE. AND ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, THE WONDERS OF TIVO, I TURNED IT BACK TO HEAR IT AGAIN BECAUSE I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT. AND HE DID SAY THAT. HE THOUGHT OUR BORDERS ARE SECURE. I BELIEVE WE WILL TAKE IN 15 MILLION PEOPLE, NOT 4 MILLION PEOPLE. AND WE HAVE NO IDEA WHO IS COMING IN, BUT I DO KNOW, THEY’RE EMPTYING THEIR GELS. THEY ARE GET — LAST, WEEK WE HAD 141. MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW, THERE ARE MANY MORE COUNTRIES THAN THAT. LAST WEEK, WE HAD 141 COUNTRIES REPRESENTED BY PEOPLE WHO CAME INTO OUR COUNTRY ILLEGALLY. WE DON’T KNOW WHO THEY, ARE WHERE THEY’RE FROM, WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THEM. THEY SAY THAT I HAVE A LOT OF THINGS RIGHT, THEY SAY TRUMP CALLED IT ALL RIGHT, EVERYTHING IF THAT IS TURNED OUT TO BE TRUE. MANY OF THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING IN WILL CAUSE TROUBLE FOR OUR COUNTRY THE LIKES OF WHICH — — AND PROBLEMS LIKE PERHAPS YOU HAVE NEVER EVEN SEEN BEFORE AT THAT LEVEL. WHEN WE REGAIN THE MORAL G — WE NEED TO USE THE PURSE STRINGS TO PROHIBIT EVEN ONE DIME FROM BEING SPENT TO IMPLEMENT BIDEN’S OPEN BORDERS AGENDA. WE NEED TO HAVE IT — THE ILLEGAL — BUT HE IS NOW REFUSING TO DEPORT — NOW, YOU KNOW HE WON’T DO THIS. WE DO NEED A WAY TO A CERTAIN EXTENT. THE GUYS CAN DO A FANTASTIC JOB. AND THEY CAN STOP THINGS FROM HAPPENING. BUT IT’S GOING TO BE VERY HARD FOR THEM TO CHANGE. THEY WILL NOT DO IT. I THINK IT WOULD BE EASIER. I THINK WE’D BE DOING THEM A FAVOR POLITICALLY. WE’RE ACTUALLY HELPING THEM POLITICALLY. BUT THEY’RE NOT GOING TO DO IT. SO, WE DO HAVE TO DO A GREAT JOB IN 2024 AND I THINK WE WILL DO. IT’S INTERESTING. WHEN I CAMPAIGNED IN 16, THE BORDER WAS A BIG DEAL AND I TALKED ABOUT A CONSTANTLY. AND I WON. I DID 2020, I COULDN’T TALK ABOUT THE BORDER. YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE I DID SUCH A GOOD JOB, THERE IS NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT.
01:47:14

I SAID, I CAN’T TALK ABOUT IT. I COMPLAINED. I SAID, I DID TO GET A JOB. I DID TO GET A JOB. THAT’S LIKE OBSOLESCENCE. YOU KNOW, WINDSHIELD WIPER — I HAVE BEEN DRIVING TOO MANY CARS LATELY. I USED, TO KNOW. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO — IT LASTS FOR ONE YEAR AND THEN IT DOESN’T WORK ANYMORE. YOU CAN SEE. YOU NEED ANOTHER ONE. THEY COULD MAKE THE WIPER GOOD FOR 100 YEARS. BUT THEY WANT PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE, THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING, THE EXACT SAME THING IS HAPPENING. WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO CLOSE UP THOSE BORDERS AND WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO STAND MANY OF THE PEOPLE BACK. MANY OF THOSE PEOPLE NEED TO BE SENT BACK. SO I DON’T KNOW HOW KEVIN IS GOING TO HANDLE THAT. I DON’T KNOW HOW THE SENATE IS GOING TO HANDLE THAT, STEVE YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HELP, AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HELP. BUT YOU STILL NEED SOMEBODY IN THE WHITE HOUSE. YOU NEED HELP. I THINK THAT HELP WILL BE FORTHCOMING AND I THINK THAT IT WILL BE A LOT SOONER THAN PEOPLE THINK. REPUBLICANS SHOULD BE LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR THIS TODAY, AND WE NEED TO STAND, AND FIGHT, AND DEMAND THAT REAL BORDER SECURITY, REAL BORDER SECURITY, STRONG BORDER SECURITY BE INCLUDED IN THE SPENDING BILL THE SEPTEMBER. NOW, I WENT TO MEXICO AND I SAID YOU HAVE TO GIVE US 28,000 SOLDIERS TO PROTECT OUR BORDER. AND THE PRESIDENT, WHO I REALLY LIKE IS A SOCIALIST, BUT THAT IS OKAY I LIKE HIM A LOT, HE LIKES, ME I LIKE HIM, CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS? I GOT ALONG WITH HIM GREAT. BUT HE LEFT, I SUGGESTED, I SAID NO YOU HAD TO DO. AND HE SENT THE REPRESENTATIVE TO DO, IT AND EVERYBODY IN THE STATE DEPARTMENT LAUGHED AT ME, THEY ALL SAID THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO THIS. I SAID HERE IS WHAT YOU DO, GIVE ME A LIST OF YOUR TEN TOP THINGS. I SAID THIS TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE. ICE, BORDER PATROL, EVERYBODY, AND THE STATE DEPARTMENT. GIVE ME A LIST OF THE TOP TEN THINGS YOU NEED FROM MEXICO, AND I WILL GET THEM ALL. THEY SAID NO WAY, NO, SIR. AND THERE WAS A WOMAN IN THE STATE DEPARTMENT WHO IS REALLY A GOOD WOMAN. SHE WAS THERE 25 YEARS. SHE DEALT WITH MEXICO PRETTY MUCH EXCLUSIVELY. SHE IS LIKE’S, OR THEY WILL NEVER DO THIS, WE HAVE BEEN ASKING THIS FOR MANY YEARS, DECADES. I SAY HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO BET? AND SHE SAID YOU CAN DO IT, I ASKED FOR ALL OF THE THINGS THAT REMAIN IN MEXICO. LITTLE THINGS LIKE REMAIN-IN-MEXICO. PEOPLE THINK IT IS EASY, IT WAS NOT EASY TO GET. BUT WE HAD ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS WE NEEDED. I ASKED FOR 28,000 SOLDIERS, AND THEN WE HAD EIGHT OTHER THINGS THAT WERE EQUALLY AS OBNOXIOUS TO ASK FOR. AND I SAID WHAT DO YOU THINK? SHE SAID YOU’RE WASTING YOUR TIME. I SAID THAT IS OKAY. SO THE HEAD MAN CAME IN, THE TOP REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COUNTRY CAME, AND I ASKED FOR THESE TEN THINGS. AND HE WAS LAUGHING. OF COURSE WE WOULDN’T DO THAT. WE’RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT. WE ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU SOLDIERS TO PROTECT YOUR BORDER?
01.50:14
01:50:14
I SAID YEAH YOU HAVE TO DO THAT. WE WON 28,000 SOLDIERS. THAT IS THE EXACT NUMBER WE NEED. WE WILL NOT DO THAT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. I SAID ALL RIGHT, BUT I AM GOING TO SEND THIS PIECE OF PAPER, AND ON MONDAY MORNING, THIS WAS A THURSDAY EVENING, ON MONDAY MORNING THERE WILL BE TARIFFS IMPOSED OF 25% ON EVERY SINGLE ITEM SOLD FROM MEXICO INTO OUR COUNTRY. IT GOES INTO EFFECT ON MONDAY MORNING AT 8:00 AND THAT MEANS, AS YOU KNOW, OVER THE YEARS NOT WITH ME, BUT OVER THE YEARS THEY HAVE STOLE 32% OF OUR AUTOMOBILE BUSINESS. THINK OF IT. THEY MANUFACTURED 32. THEY TOOK 32% OUT OF OUR COUNTRY, I’VE SAID ALL OF THOSE CARS, EVERYTHING THAT YOU SELL INTO THIS COUNTRY, 25%. HE SAID I WOULD LIKE TO COME BACK IN FIVE MINUTES. HE CAME BACK IN FIVE MINUTES. HE SAID PRESIDENT, WE WOULD BE HONORED TO GIVE YOU ALL TEN OF THOSE THINGS. AND WE GOT ALL TEN. WE GOT ALL TEN. WE GOT EVERYTHING. WE GOT 28,000 SOLDIERS FREE OF CHARGE. NO COST. AND THEY DID A FANTASTIC JOB. IT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS DOING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WALL. IT IS ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE HAVE THE BEST NUMBERS IN RECORDED HISTORY. BUT MEXICO WAS GREAT. BUT YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO ASK PEOPLE FOR THINGS. AND THE WOMAN AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAID I HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. I CANNOT BELIEVE IT. AND SHE WAS A GOOD WOMAN, BUT JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS. AND THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT MUST IMMEDIATELY IMPLEMENT EVERY ASPECT OF THE TRUMP AGENDA THAT ACHIEVED THE MOST SECURE BORDER IN HISTORY, INCLUDING REMAIN-IN-MEXICO, SAFE THIRD AGREEMENT, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS? ASYLUM RESTRICTIONS AND RAPID DEPORTATION. I GOT ALL OF THESE THINGS. AND THEY GAVE THEM UP. THEY GAVE THEM UP. THEY GAVE THEM ALL UP. THINK OF IT, REMAIN-IN-MEXICO, YOU CANNOT COME INTO THE COUNTRY. YOU HAVE TO REMAIN IN MEXICO UNTIL WE CHECK YOU OUT. IF YOU ARE NOT A MURDERER, A CRIMINAL, IF THERE IS SOME REASON WHY YOU CAN LEGALLY, THEN WE TAKE YOU WIN. OTHER THAN, THAT YOUR REMAIN-IN-MEXICO, BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM. THE COUNTRY YOU CAME FROM. AND THAT IS IT. AND IT WAS HARD TO, GET BUT I GOT IT PRETTY QUICKLY. IN ABOUT TEN MINUTES. AND THEY COULDN’T BELIEVE IT. THAT IS IT, WE HAD A GREAT BORDER. AND WE HAVE PEOPLE REMAINING IN THE UNITED STATES. COME BACK FOR YOUR TRIAL IN FOUR YEARS, NOBODY EVER COMES BACK. ONLY THE REALLY STUPID PEOPLE COME BACK. I THINK IT IS ABOUT 1% THAT COME BACK. IT IS THE CRAZIEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN. WE SHOULD PASS A LAW AND ACTING THESE REFORMS PERMANENTLY, THEY HAVE TO BE PERMANENT, UNDER OUR ADMINISTRATION. WE BUILT HUNDREDS OF MILES OF BORDER. HUNDREDS. IN FACT, WE COMPLETELY FINISHED OUR ORIGINAL WALL PLAN, COMPLETELY DONE, WE WERE SO PROUD OF IT. DESPITE TWO AND A HALF YEARS OF DEMOCRAT INSPIRED LAWSUITS, I WON THEM ALL. AND SOME PEOPLE CAME TO ME AND SAID WE NEED MORE WALL. SO WHAT DO YOU NEED? YOU NEED IT IN OTHER AREAS. IT WASN’T ORIGINALLY PLANNED. SO LET’S, GO AND WE WILL SEE IF WE CAN GET IT DONE. THEN WE HAD THE CATASTROPHE OF THE ELECTION. WE HAD ALMOST FINISHED, IT WAS A CATASTROPHE THAT ELECTION. A DISGRACE TO OUR COUNTRY. BUT THREE WEEKS WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, ALL OF THE ADDITIONAL WALL. AS YOU, KNOW THEY DIDN’T WANT TO BUILD THE WALL. THEY DIDN’T WANT TO BUILD THE WALL. THAT IS WHEN I STARTED TO THINK THAT MAYBE THEY REALLY DO WANT THESE BORDERS OPEN SO EVERYBODY CAN INVADE OUR COUNTRY. THE BORDER WAS THE BEST AND SAFEST IN U.S. RECORDED HISTORY. AND THEY HAVE TURNED IT INTO THE WORST IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY. BUT PROBABLY THE WORST IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. THAT INCLUDES THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES, BECAUSE NO THRILLED WORLD COUNTRY WOULD HAVE MILLIONS, AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. I DON’T CARE HOW DESOLATE, HOW POOR, THEY WOULDN’T HAVE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE POURING INTO THEIR COUNTRY. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BORDER LIKE THIS IN HISTORY. WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO THIS COUNTRY, THEY ARE POISONING THIS COUNTRY, THEY ARE POISONING OUR COUNTRY. AND REMEMBER WHAT I SAID, WE ARE GOING TO PAY BIG PRICE OVER THE YEARS TO COME TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE JOE BIDEN HAS DONE. IT IS ALSO GOING TO BE NECESSARY TO FUND THE LARGEST EVER INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF NEW ICE OFFICERS. YOU KNOW HOW TOUGH THEY ARE? THESE ARE TOUGH PATRIOTS. I KNOW SOME OF THE PEOPLE IN THESE ROADS HERE. AND I CAN TELL YOU NONE OF YOU WANT THAT, NOT EVEN THE GOVERNOR. NONE OF YOU WANT THAT JOB. THEY WALK INTO A NEST OF MS-13. MS-13 DOESN’T LIKE GUNS AS MUCH AS KNIVES. THEY LIKE TO HURT PEOPLE AND TAKE A LONG TIME TO DO IT. AND THE GUN IS TOO QUICK. AND THEY WILL TAKE — THEY TOOK 2:16-YEAR-OLD GIRLS WALKING HOME FROM SCHOOL AND THEY CUT THEIR SKIN OFF. AND THEY ARE, THEY BOTH DIED. THEY DID IT WITH KNIVES. AND THE ICE OFFICERS WOULD RUN INTO A NEST OF MS 13. THE MEANEST OF ALL GETTING MEMBERS. THE HELLS ANGELS ARE THE NICEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD BY COMPARISON. THEY ARE REALLY NICE, THEY ARE HIGH SOCIETY. AND THE CUT, AND THEY CUT. AND THESE PEOPLE WILL GO INTO A NEST, AND THEY WILL RUN IN, AND THEIR FIST START GOING. THEY ALWAYS WIN. THEY ARE TOUGH, THEY LOVE OUR COUNTRY, THEY TOTALLY ARE DISRESPECTED BY FOOLISH DEMOCRATS THAT HAVE NO IDEA. WE HAVE TAKEN THOUSANDS OF THEM, THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF THESE GANG MEMBERS. WE HAVE TAKEN THEM AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO THEIR COUNTRIES. WE WERE HAVING A HARD TIME BECAUSE WHEN I FIRST CAME, AND I THINK AN IMPORTANT STORY, THEY SAID SIR YOU CAN’T TAKE THEM OUT BECAUSE THE OTHER COUNTRIES, HUNDREDS, GUATEMALA, EL SALVADOR, AND MANY OTHERS. THEY WON’T ALLOW US TO LAND OUR PLANES IN THEIR AIRPORTS. I SAID WHAT DO YOU MEAN? THE THREE COUNTRIES IN PARTICULAR, AND MEXICO. BUT THREE COUNTRIES WOULD NOT ALLOW THEM. I SAID WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY WOULD? AND THEY SAID THEY WON’T ALLOW US. SO WE WILL FLY WITH A PLANE FULL OF ESSENTIALLY PRISONERS, GANG MEMBERS, AND THEY WOULD HAVE PLANES ON THE RUNWAY. THEY WOULDN’T EXCEPT BUSTED THROUGH THE BORDER. THEY WOULDN’T DO ANYTHING. I SAID IN OTHER WORDS, THEY SOME THEM HERE BECAUSE THE COUNTRY SONS THEM HERE, THESE ARE VERY STREETWISE PEOPLE THESE LEADERS. WHETHER THEY ARE PRESIDENTS, PRIME MINISTERS, OR DICTATORS, MANY OF THEM ARE DICTATORS. SOME OF THEM ARE ALL THREE ACTUALLY, THE ONES THAT REALLY HAVE IT. SO WHAT HAPPENS IS, THEY SAY THAT THEY WOULDN’T TAKE THEM BACK. THAT’S NOT A GOOD SITUATION. UNDER PRESIDENT OBAMA, THEY WERE STYMIED, THEY WOULDN’T DO ANYTHING. THE COUNTRY WOULDN’T TAKE THEM BACK. I SAID, HOW MUCH MONEY DO WE PAY THOSE THREE COUNTRIES? SIR, WE PAY THEM 700 AND $50 MILLION. IT’S A LOT OF MONEY. I SAID, FOR WHAT? ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, SIR. IN OTHER WORDS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO THE HEAD OF THE COUNTRY. FOR HOME — WE HAVE $750 MILLION, INFORM THEM THAT WERE STOPPING PAYMENTS IMMEDIATELY. AND WE STOP PAYMENT UP THE THREE COUNTRIES OF $750 MILLION — AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED AS I GOT A PHONE CALL THE NEXT MORNING FROM ALL THREE ALMOST AT THE SAME TIME. SEPARATE CALLS. SERVE, THEY HAD STOPPED PAYMENT FROM THE MONEY THAT YOU ARE UNITED STATES VERY GRACIOUSLY CENSUS EVERY MONTH. I SAID, THAT’S RIGHT. YOU’LL NEVER SEE THAT MONEY AGAIN BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT LETTING US BRING MS-13. AND THESE PEOPLE THAT HE SENT OVER HERE ILLEGALLY BECAUSE YOU SUMMED THEM, YOU SENT THEM, AND I DON’T BLAME YOU. YOU DON’T WANT THEM. BUT YOU ARE NOT LETTING US BRING THEM BACK. THEY SAID, SIR, WE WOULD BE HONORED TO HAVE THEM BACK. PLEASE SEND THEM IMMEDIATELY. I’LL NEVER FORGET IT. ALL THESE GUYS ARE SITTING AROUND. THEY’VE BEEN DOING THIS STUFF FOR A LONG TIME. RIGHT, KELLYANNE? YOU ARE IN THE ROOM. WHEN THEY SAID WE WOULD BE HONORED TO HAVE THEM BACK. THERE WOULD BE NOTHING MORE THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BACK THEN MS 13 GANG MEMBERS. BUT PLEASE, WHEN WILL THE MONEY START? WE HAD GREAT SUCCESS. WE SENT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF THESE PEOPLE BACK. SINCE BIDEN HAS EFFECTIVELY SUSPENDED ALL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT INCLUDING HORRIBLE, VICIOUS CRIMINALS, HE SUSPENDED EVERYTHING. THESE VICIOUS CRIMINALS. THERE IS NO POLICE SAYING OF VISAS AND OVERSTAY’S WHATSOEVER. PART OF THE REASON WE NEED TO USE THIS DRAMATIC INCREASE IN I.C.E. OFFICERS IS TO ENSURE THE PROMPT REMOVAL OF ANYONE WHO OVERSTAYED THEIR VISA. AND IN PARTICULAR, IT’S VERY HARD, WHEN YOU HAVE 15 MILLION PEOPLE POUR INTO A COUNTRY, MANY OF THESE ARE VERY GOOD PEOPLE. IT’S VERY HARD TO SAY WE’RE GOING TO REMOVE 15 MILLION PEOPLE. THERE IS A THING CALLED HUMANITY. THERE’S THINGS WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT. BUT WE CAN GET RID OF ALL OF THE BAD ONES AND THE POLICE KNOW ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WHO THE BAD ONES ARE. AND THAT WE CAN DO AND THAT WE CAN DO FAST AND EASY. AT THE SAME TIME, WE SHOULD IMPLEMENT A BOND SYSTEM AND A FINANCIAL PENALTY SO THAT ANYBODY THAT COMES TO OUR COUNTRY ON A TEMPORARY VIEWS AND FAILS TO DEPART,, SUFFER SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL CONSEQUENCES AND WE TAKE THE MONEY AWAY FROM THE COUNTRY. WE CHARGED THE COUNTRY $25,000 EACH FOR EACH PERSON THAT COMES IN A LEGALLY. [APPLAUSE] AND I HAD GOT GOING AND THEN WE ALL OF A SUDDEN GOT HIT WITH THE VIRUS. I WAS ALL SAID TO DO THAT, I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO IT AND THEN THEY SAID THERE’S THIS TERRIBLE THING HAPPENING IN CHINA. A LOT OF DEAD PEOPLE LYING IN THE STREETS. THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON. I CLOSED IT UP LONG BEFORE NANCY PELOSI CALLED FOR. IT INCLUDING FAUCI. I USED TO LISTEN TO FAUCI AND WHATEVER HE SAID, I DID THE OPPOSITE. I CAME OUT VERY GOOD. BUT WE CLOSED IT UP AND THEN WE HAD TO CLOSE IT UP TO EUROPE OR WE WOULD’VE HAD A MUCH WORSE SITUATION. IT’S PRETTY AMAZING SOME OF THE THINGS WE’VE DONE OUR PRETTY AMAZING. THE NATIONAL GUARD CAN BE USED TO REMOVE ILLEGAL — WE REALLY DO. WE NEED TO GET ICE BACK. THESE PEOPLE ARE INCREDIBLE ON THE BORDER PATROL. THE WHOLE GROUP. THEY’RE PHENOMENAL PEOPLE. AND THEY LOVE THE COUNTRY. THEY CAN HAVE AN EASY JOB. THEY DON’T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING. THEY WANT TO DO THEIR JOB. SOMETIMES, I WONDER, I SEE THINGS WHERE THEY JUST WANT TO BE ALLOWED TO DO THEIR JOB. THEY DON’T WANT TO BE TOLD TO STAND AWAY AND LEAVE US ALONE AND LET EVERYBODY — THEY FEEL HORRIBLE. THEY SEE THE COUNTRY IS BEING DESTROYED. THESE ARE GREAT PEOPLE. AND OUR POLICE, OF COURSE, ALL OF OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT. FURTHERMORE, WE SHOULD SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED JAIL TIME FOR REPEAT IMMIGRATION VIOLATORS TO MAKE CLEAR THAT IF YOU FLOUT OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS, YOU’RE LOOKING A VERY HARD TIME AND SUBSTANTIAL TIME. THIS USED TO BE CALLED — YOU REMEMBER THAT? NAMED AFTER KATE — WHO WAS AN INCREDIBLE, BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN, WHO WAS GUNNED DOWN IN SAN FRANCISCO WHILE STANDING WITH HER FATHER ON A PURE. DO YOU REMEMBER THAT? HOW CAN YOU FORGET IT? AND THE PRIME OF HER LIFE — WITH FIVE PRIOR DEPORTATIONS — HE JUST KEPT COMING BACK IN. AND HE SHOT HER, STANDING WITH HER FATHER. SOMETHING HAPPENED. DADDY — THAT WAS HER LAST WORDS. WHAT’S A HORRIBLE STORY THAT WAS. — I DIDN’T, BUT I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE WORKING VERY HARD AND I BELIEVE THAT THE RADICAL LEFT DEMOCRATS JUST WOULDN’T HEAR ABOUT IT. THEY WOULDN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE. BUT WE NEED TO GET A LAW THAT IS EVEN TOUGHER THAN KATES LAW. AND I THINK EVERYBODY WILL GO FOR IT NOW. THE ONE GOOD THING ABOUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED. THEY’VE PERFORMED SO BADLY THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO GET THE JOB DONE AND AN EVEN STRONGER AND FASTER MANNER THAN HUB A KNOT, HAD WE NOT WITNESSED THIS CARNAGE THAT’S GOING ON IN OUR COUNTRY RIGHT NOW. THAT’S A GOOD THING. [APPLAUSE] AND WE’VE ALSO SEEN TOO MANY INSTANCES OF ILLEGAL ALIENS WHO CROSSED OUR BORDERS WITH A HISTORY OF SEX CRIMES AND SEXUAL OFFENSES. NUMBERS THAT NOBODY’S EVER SEEN BEFORE. DON’T FORGET. WHEN WE — THESE PEOPLE WEREN’T COMING. WE HAVE THE LOWEST NUMBERS IN 42 YEARS ON SEX TRAFFICKERS. THE HUMAN TRAFFICKERS, MOSTLY WOMEN, BY THE WAY. SECOND, CHILDREN. LAST, MEN. LAST IS MAN. BUT MOSTLY WOMEN. AND WE HAD THE BEST NUMBERS THAT WE’VE HAD IN MANY DECADES BECAUSE WE HAVE A BORDER STOPPED UP. WE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE, INCLUDING AS I TOLD YOU, 28,000 MEXICAN SOLDIERS. AND THEY WERE ALLOWED TO BE TOUGH. OUR SOLDIERS LOOK AT SOMEBODY I DON’T SAY GOOD MORNING MA’AM, HOW ARE YOU, THEY WANT TO THROW THEM OUT OF THE MILITARY. THE MEXICAN SOLDIERS ARE A LITTLE TOUGHER THAN THAT. BUT THEY’RE ULTIMATELY NOT TOUGHER. BECAUSE WE HAVE THE GREATEST MILITARY IN THE WORLD. WE GOT RID OF ISIS. GREAT PEOPLE. GREAT SOLDIERS. GREATEST IN THE WORLD. THEY NEED TO BE ALLOWED TO DO THEIR JOB. JUST THIS MONTH, WE ALL HEARD THE HORRIFYING STORY OF AN ILLEGAL — CHARGED WITH RAPING A TEN YEAR OLD CHILD. TO KEEP SUCH PREDATORS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY, WE NEED TO PASS A DRAMATIC — SO THAT ANYBODY WITH A RECORD OF SEX CRIMES WILL NOT SET FOOT ON OUR SOIL. AND IF THEY DO, THEY WILL BE OUT OF YOUR QUICKLY OR THEY WILL BE IN ONE OF OUR PRISONS, WHICH IS ALSO VERY LIKELY. THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE CRITICAL REFORMS WE SHOULD RACE TO IMPLEMENT. WE NEED TO GET IT DONE AS SOON AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. OUR COUNTRY AND THE LIES OF OUR PEOPLE ARE AT STAKE AND WE DO NOT HAVE A MOMENT TO WASTE. OUR COUNTRY IS IN A CONDITION ON CRIME THAT WE’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE, NOT EVEN SOMETHING THAT ANYBODY IN THIS AUDIENCE WOULD THINK IS POSSIBLE. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE VIOLENCE OF THE CRIME. DUMPING A YOUNG MAN AND A GARBAGE CAN AND SETTING HIM ON FIRE. I DEALT WITH THE MOTHER OF THAT YOUNG MAN. AND SO MANY OTHER THINGS. YOU COULD GO ON FOR DAYS AND DAYS. THE DAMAGE THAT HAS BEEN CAUSED. I HAVE FOCUSED ON PUBLIC SAFETY. THERE IS MUCH MORE TO THE AMERICA FIRST AGENDA, AS YOU ALL KNOW VERY WELL. LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE. I LOOK FORWARD TO LAYING OUT MANY MORE DETAILS IN THE WEEKS AND MONTHS TO COME. IT’S JUST THE BEGINNING, BUT IT IS ALSO, AND WE CAN SAY THIS TO BROOKE. IT’S ALSO A POLICY. YOU CAN SAY CONSERVATIVE, YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT. IT’S REALLY A POLICY OF COMMON SENSE AND IT’S A POLICY OF LAW AND ORDER. HELLO. [APPLAUSE] WE HAVE TO DO SO MUCH. WE NEED TO SAVE OUR ECONOMY AND STOP THE INFLATION, CRIPPLING AMERICAN FAMILIES. WE HAVE TO RESCUE OUR SCHOOLS FROM THE MARXIST TEACHERS UNIONS. WE NEED TO COMPLETELY DEMOLISH THE CORRUPT EDUCATION BUREAUCRACY AND LIBERATE OUR CHILDREN. [APPLAUSE] WE NEED TO PROTECT — THIS IS THE CRAZIEST THING TO HAVE TO SAY THIS BECAUSE WHO WOULD NEVER THINK THAT WHEN YOU WOULD NEED TO SAY THIS? WE NEED TO PROTECT PARENTS RIGHTS. CAN YOU IMAGINE? YOU ARE UP HERE. I’M A POLITICIAN. I DON’T LIKE TO CONSIDER MYSELF — I’M A POLITICIAN, I GUESS. I RAN FOR PRESIDENT. I WON. AND I WANT TO SECOND TIME. DID MUCH BETTER THE SECOND TIME. [APPLAUSE] VERY CORRUPT. I ALWAYS SAY, AROUND THE FIRST TIME AND I WON. I RAN A SECOND TIME AND I DID MUCH BETTER. WE GOT MILLIONS AND MILLIONS. AND YOU KNOW WET? THAT IS GOING TO BE A STORY FOR A LONG TIME. WE MAY JUST HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN. WE HAVE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT. WE HAVE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT OUR COUNTRY. [APPLAUSE] WE ACTUALLY DID IT TWICE, WE DIDN’T, WHEN WE HANDED OVER A STOCK MARKET THAT WAS HIGHER THAN IT WAS PRE-COVID. NOBODY CAN EVEN BELIEVE IT. WE ACTUALLY DID IT TWICE. SO IT IS A VERY SAD THING. ALL OF THE THINGS I’M TALKING ABOUT WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE. WE WOULD HAVE TO GET POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, — SO THAT AMERICA CAN ONCE AGAIN FIGHT AND WIN WARS. WE HAVE TO BE THINKING ABOUT WINNING. WE HAVE TO ABOLISH ALL COVID MANDATES AND LOCKDOWNS AND REHIRE EVERY PERSON WHO WAS FIRED FROM THE MILITARY WITH AN APOLOGY TO THEM, AND GIVE THEM THEIR PAY THAT THEY HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR. [APPLAUSE] AND IT IS A GREAT SHAME OF THE PENTAGON BRASS THAT THEY HAVE NOT SPOKEN OUT AND DEFENSE OF THEIR OWN SERVICE MEMBERS. THEY HAVE TO SPEAK OUT TO DRAIN THE SWAMP AND ROOT OUT THE DEEP STATE WE HAVE TO MAKE IT MUCH EASIER TO FIRE ROBE DEMOCRATS WHO ARE UNDERMINING DEMOCRACY. OR AT MINIMUM THEY JUST WANT TO KEEP THEIR JOBS, HOLD ON TO THEIR JOBS. CONGRESS SHOULD PASS HISTORIC REFORMS EMPOWERING THE PRESIDENT ENSURE THAT ANY BUREAUCRAT WHO IS CORRUPT INCOMPETENT, OR UNNECESSARY FOR THE JOB CAN BE TOLD YOU ARE FIRED, GET OUT. YOU ARE FIRED! THEY HAVE TO DO IT. I KEEP SAYING WASHINGTON WILL BE ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PLACE. — THREE STAGES WHICH TAKE ON AVERAGE FIVE YARDS PER STAGE. IN OTHER WORDS, TO FIRE SOMEONE WHO IS DOING A BAD JOB IF THE GOVERNMENT WINDS, WE’LL TAKE 15 YEARS UNDER OUR CURRENT SYSTEM. THINK OF THAT. 15 YEARS, ALMOST ALL POLITICIANS WILL BE LONG GONE BEFORE THAT PROCESS EVEN ENDS. IN ADDITION, WE NEED A GREAT NATIONAL EFFORT TO BRING BACK OUR SUPPLY CHAINS, BRING BACK OUR FACTORIES, WHICH WE DID A LOT OF, BY THE WAY. WE MADE GREAT TRADE DEALS. GOT RID OF NAFTA, THE WORST TRADE DEAL EVER MADE. USMCA IS ABOUT, IF YOU KNOW CANADA AND MEXICO WANT TO RENEGOTIATE THE DEAL. I SAID TO BIDEN DON’T DO IT, AND DON’T GIVE UP THE TARIFFS ON CHINA. WE WANT TO BRING BACK OUR JOBS, AND SECURE MANUFACTURING INDEPENDENCE. WE NEED TO RAPIDLY MAXIMIZE DOMESTIC OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION TO RESTORE ENERGY INDEPENDENCE AND BRING THE PRICE OF GASOLINE BACK DOWN. TO A NUMBER THAT NOBODY EVEN BELIEVES ANYMORE. WE HAD IT DOWN TO $1.87. CAN YOU IMAGINE? TO BUILD ON MY HISTORICALLY SUCCESSFUL TRADE POLICIES THAT BROUGHT BACK MILLIONS OF JOBS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, WE NEED TO STRENGTHEN OUR TRADE LAWS, GIVE THE PRESIDENT MORE TOOLS TO COMBAT UNFAIR TRADE. MAKE SECTION 301 MORE REASONABLE, AND DO NOT TAKE THE TARIFF POWER AWAY FROM THE PRESIDENT. IF YOU DO, IT IS THE GREATEST GIFT TO CHINA AND OTHER COUNTRIES THAT YOU COULD EVER DO. FOR THE SENATORS, DON’T ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN. IT IS BEFORE YOU. IF YOU DO THAT, YOU ARE NOT A GREAT AMERICAN. AND I WILL SAY IT VERY STRONGLY. WE NEED TO ESTABLISH A COMMISSION TO HOLD CHINA ACCOUNTABLE FOR UNLEASHING THE VIRUS UPON THE WORLD AND THE DAMAGE THEY HAVE CAUSED. AND WE NEED TO RESTORE MY INITIATIVES TO TARGET AND ELIMINATE CHINESE ESPIONAGE WHICH JOE BIDEN OUTRAGEOUSLY ABOLISHED. YOU KNOW THAT, THEY WERE PROHIBITED FROM COMING IN, ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT IS CRAZY WHAT IS GOING ON. WE SHOULD ONCE AGAIN REQUIRE ABLE BODIES SINGLE ADULTS TO GO TO, WORK OR TRAIN FOR A JOB IN ORDER TO RECEIVE WELFARE, AND OTHER BENEFITS. YOU HAVE GOT TO WORK. AND WE SHOULD REQUIRE PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP TO RECEIVE THE CHILD — WE HAVE GOT TO DO THIS — TO GET THE CHILD TAX CREDIT TO STOP SUBSIDIZING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. WE ARE BRINGING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS INTO OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE WE ARE PAYING THEM. IN CALIFORNIA, THE GOVERNOR WANTS TO PAY FOR THEIR EDUCATION, THEIR MEDICAL, THEY WANT TO GIVE THEM MORE THAN OUR VETS. THEY WANT TO GIVE THEM BETTER BENEFITS THAT OUR VETS. AND CITIZENS. WE NEED A BOLD RANGE OF ELECTION INTEGRITY REFORMS FROM BEGINNING, UNSECURE AND REMEMBER THIS, THE UNSECURED JOB BOXES ARE A DISASTER. IT DISASTER. YOU KNOW, IF YOU GET $5,600 PLUS $1, THEY PUT YOU IN JAIL. YOU CANNOT GIVE ANYMORE THAN THAT. THEY PUT YOU IN JAIL. ZUCKERBERG PAID 400 AND $17 MILLION. SO WHAT IS HAPPENING? JUST AN AMAZING THING. AND WE WANT TO ENSURE UNIVERSAL VOTER I.D.. BUT OUR GOAL, OUR GOAL SHOULD BE SAME-DAY VOTING WITH ONLY PAPER BALLOTS. IT SHOULD BE JUST LIKE FRANCE. SAME DAY VOTING. WE HAVE PLENTY OF CAPACITY. SAME DAY VOTING. WITH ONLY PAPER BALLOTS. THAT IS IT. THE MILITARY, IF IT IS BASED FAR AWAY ONLY CAN VOTE. AND PEOPLE THAT ARE LEGITIMATELY ILL CAN VOTE BY MAIL IN. BUT THAT IS A VERY SMALL CATEGORY. SAME DEVOTING, FRANCE HAS HAD AN ELECTION, 55 MILLION PEOPLE. THEY VOTED AT 11:00 IT WAS OVER. THERE WAS NO DISPUTE, NO NOTHING. IT WAS ALL PAPER. EVERYTHING WAS PAPER. SAME DAY, THEY VOTED IN ONE DAY, IT STARTED EARLY IN THE MORNING IT WHEN THROUGHOUT THE DAY. WE HAVE PLENTY OF CAPACITY. 55 MILLION, IT IS BIGGER THAN THE STATES, 55 MILLION. SAME DEVOTING ALL PAPER. YOU’RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY MORE PROBLEMS. WE NEED TO BREAK THE CHOKEHOLD OF SILICON VALLEY AND RESTORE FREE SPEECH IN AMERICA. THESE ARE THE CHOICES THAT AMERICA MUST CONFRONT ON THE ROAD AHEAD. RIGHT NOW, THESE NEXT FEW YEARS, OUR COUNTRY WILL DECIDE WHETHER WE ARE GOING TO ALLOW A CORRUPT AND RADICAL RULING CLASS TO SNUFF OUT THE TORTURE OF LIBERTY, OR WHETHER WE WILL RESIST THE FORCES OF DECAY AND RAISE THE TORCH HIGHER AND PROUDER THAN EVER TO ENLIGHTEN AND INSPIRE THE ENTIRE WORLD. WE CAN DO THAT. TOGETHER WE ARE STANDING UP AGAINST, THANK YOU, I THINK? TOGETHER WE ARE STANDING UP AGAINST SOME OF THE MOST MANAGING MENACING FORCES AND VICIOUS OPPONENTS HAVE EVER SEEN OR CAN FRONTED. A FRIEND OF MINE TOLD ME THAT I WAS THE MOST PERSECUTED PERSON IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY. THEN I STARTED THINKING ABOUT IT. AND I SAID YOU KNOW WHAT? HE MAY VERY WELL BE RIGHT. HE MAY BE RIGHT. THINK ABOUT IT, WE HAD A RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA SCAM THAT WAS COVERED RELIGIOUSLY BY A LOT OF MEDIA. IT WAS COVERED RELIGIOUSLY, EVEN THOUGH THE MEDIA KNEW IT WAS FAKE. THEY KNEW IT WAS FAKE. THAT TURNED OUT TO BE A CONDUCTED FAIRYTALE MADE UP BY CROOKED HILLARY CLINTON, THE DEMOCRATS, IT’S LEASE BALL WRITER NAMED CHRISTOPHER STEELE, AND A COORDINATED EFFORT WITH, OF ALL PLACES, RUSSIA! THEY DEALT WITH RUSSIA ON THE RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA HOAX. THEN I HAVE THE IMPEACHMENT HOAX NUMBER ONE, IMPEACHMENT HOAX NUMBER TWO, AND THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION RESULTING AFTER TWO YEARS IN A VERDICT OF THERE WAS NO COLLUSION. WHO HAS BEEN THROUGH ANYTHING LIKE THIS, SERIOUSLY? CERTAINLY NO POLITICIAN, AND DEFINITELY NO PRESIDENT. ALL OF THIS WHILE I WAS DOING SO MUCH AS PRESIDENT, INCLUDING CREATING THE MOST SECURE BORDER IN AMERICAN HISTORY. RECORDING THE LARGEST TAX AND REGULATORY TAX IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY. BIGGEST TAX CUT EVER, BIGGER THAN THE REAGAN CUTS, BIGGER THAN ANYONE. AND REGULATORY, JUST OF EQUAL IMPORTANCE. $1.87 A GALLON GASOLINE, WE ARE AT FIVE, SIX, SEVEN. YOU ARE GOING WAY UP. NO INFLATION, LOW INTEREST RATES, RECORD GROWTH AND REAL WAGES, REBUILDING OUR ENTIRE MILITARY. WE REBUILD THE MILITARY, 85 BILLION OF IT TO THE TALIBAN. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? THE HISTORIC ABRAHAM MAKE — BRINGING PEACE TO THE MIDDLE EAST, IT WAS INCREDIBLE. AND MUCH, MUCH, MUCH MORE. NOW WE HAVE THE JANUARY 6TH SELECT COMMITTEE OF POLITICAL HACKS AND THUGS. AND IT IS THE THICK OF THIS, THESE ARE HACKS AND THUGS, THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR FOUR YEARS. SAME PEOPLE. AND IT IS THE VERY PEOPLE WHO PERPETRATED THE LIES THAT I WAS AN AGENT OF RUSSIA, LIKE ADAM SHIFT, AND OTHERS, WHO WERE STANDING BEFORE THE SAME MICROPHONE, SAME THING THEY GET OUT AND THEY SAY OUR COUNTRY’S SUFFERING SO BADLY BECAUSE — AND HE KNOWS THE WHOLE THING IS A HOAX. I SAID THIS THE OTHER DAY, HE KNEW RUSSIA, RUSSIA WAS A HOAX. HIM, HILLARY CLINTON, THE DNC, THE DEMOCRATS. AND HE STOOD POMPOUS LEE BEFORE MICROPHONES, HIS HEAD AS YOU KNOW I FEEL THE SHAPED LIKE A WATERMELON. HE IS A QUITE AN ATTRACTIVE MAN. THEY WILL GET ME IN TROUBLE FOR THAT. THEY WILL SAY IS AN ATTRACTIVE, HILL SAY IT’S HONORABLE THING TO SAY. BUT HE SAYS SLIGHTLY WORSE ABOUT ME. HE KNOWS IT IS A HOAX. HE GOES, NOT A STUPID PERSON, AND EVIL PERSON, A SICK PERSON IN MY OPINION. BUT HE GOES BEFORE THESE SAME MICROPHONES AND HE SAID, PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S SON, DON JUNIOR, WE’LL GO TO PRISON FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE WITH RUSSIA. WHAT KIND OF A MAN WOULD SAY THAT MY SON, BUT YOURSELF IN MY SON’S POSITION, THAT HE IS GOING TO PRISON ON SOMETHING HE DOESN’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT AND THAT ADAM SCHIFF KNOWS IT IS A HOAX AND A FAIRYTALE AND WAS MADE UP. AND THE NEW YORK TIMES, THEY ADMIT NOW THAT IT WAS A TOTALLY MADE A POKES. YOU THINK MY SON SHOULD GO TO PRISON. AND HE KNOWS IT WAS A HOAX. WE’LL KIND OF A HUMAN BEING CAN DO THAT? ONLY A SICK, EVIL, VERY BAD HUMAN BEING. AND NOW I HAVE THE SAME PEOPLE THERE, THE SAME PEOPLE, OTHER THAN — WHO IS THE WORSE. AND KINZINGER — THESE PEOPLE ARE JUST — BUT THE SAME BASIC PEOPLE ARE NOW GOING ON — AND IT’S SO UNFAIR WHEN YOU SEE WOULD HAPPENED TO BLM. WHEN YOU SEE WOULD HAPPEN TO ANTIFA, WHEN YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL OF THE KILLING, ALL OF THE KILLINGS THAT TOOK PLACE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, AND THEN YOU SEE WHAT THEY’RE DOING TO PEOPLE THAT IN SOME CASES DIDN’T EVEN ENTER THE BUILDING. AND YOU SEE CASES THEY’RE BEING TORTURED AND HANDLED SO HORRIBLY. WHEN YOU SEE KAMALA HARRIS GETTING PEOPLE OUT ON BAIL THAT BURNED DOWN BUILDINGS AND KILLED PEOPLE. AND GETTING THEM OUT ON BAIL. AND YOU CAN’T EVEN GET THESE PEOPLE OUT ON BAIL. BUT IT’S SAD THING. AND SOMETHING WILL HAVE TO HAPPEN. BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL NOT TAKE IT MUCH LONGER. THERE’S TWO SETS OF JUSTICE AND WE DON’T HAVE TO GO INTO, IT BUT NOBODY HAS EVER SEEN WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY. THEY’RE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING WITH JANUARY 6TH AS THEY DID WITH ALL THESE PREVIOUS ASSAULT ON OUR COUNTRY. SO, WHERE DOES IT STOP? WHERE DOES IT END? IT PROBABLY DOESN’T STOP. BECAUSE DESPITE GREAT OUTSIDE DANGERS, OUR BIGGEST THREAT, IN THIS COUNTRY, REMAINS THE SICK, SINISTER, AND EVIL PEOPLE FROM WITHIN. THESE ARE EVIL, CRAZY — SHE IMPEACHMENT TWICE, ONLY BECAUSE SHE HAD ENOUGH VOTES. AND THE DEMOCRATS TO STICK TOGETHER, EVEN — THEY’RE AFRAID NOT TO. SHE IMPEACHED ME TWICE. BUT THE REPUBLICANS STUCK TOGETHER ALSO. I’M HONORED THAT THEY DID. THINK OF HOW SICK THAT IS. I GOT IMPEACHED OVER A PHONE CALL. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WIN. THIS IS JUST A CRAZY TIME. NEVER FORGET EVERYTHING THIS CORRUPT ESTABLISHMENT IS DOING TO ME IS ALL ABOUT DESERVING THE POWER — THEY WANT TO DAMAGE YOU IN ANY FORM, BUT THEY REALLY WANT TO DAMAGE ME SO I CAN NO LONGER GO BACK TO WORK FOR YOU. AND I DON’T THINK THAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN. [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU.

02:20:40
FOR MORE YEARS!

02:20:49
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT’S VERY NICE. NOW, IT’S A VERY SAD THING. WHO ELSE COULD’VE TAKEN THIS? THINK OF IT. NIXON WENT THROUGH NOT EVEN WANT IMPEACHMENT. AND I THINK HE ALWAYS REGRETTED THAT HE DIDN’T FIGHT. BUT PEOPLE — IT’S BEEN A VERY INTERESTING PERIOD OF TIME. AND TO ME — A VERY SUCCESSFUL MAN CAME UP TO ME AND SAID, COULD I ASK YOU A QUESTION? YEAH, WHAT? HOW DO YOU TAKE IT? HOW DO YOU GET UP IN THE MORNING? I SAY, DO I HAVE A CHOICE? DO I HAVE A CHOICE? AND WE TAKE IT. BUT I THINK THE PEOPLE RESPECTED. I REALLY DO. I SEE THAT NOW MORE THAN EVER. [APPLAUSE] AND THE PROBLEM WE HAVE IT’S THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA IS CORRUPT AND COMPLACENT. IF THEY WEREN’T, WE WOULD HAVE A MUCH QUICKER HEEL. BECAUSE IN ITS OWN WAY, THERE THE POLICE. THOUGH THE POLICE OF HONESTY. WHEN PEOPLE DON’T TRUST THEM, THEIR APPROVAL RATING IS NOW LOWER THAN CONGRESS, WHICH IS SAYING SOMETHING. SORRY CONGRESSPEOPLE. IT HAS BEEN THAT WAY FOR A LONG TIME. WHEN I FIRST, FRIEND IT WAS VERY HIGH AND I’M VERY HONORED TO SAY THAT I HAVE REVEALED SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE JUST DIDN’T KNOW. IT’S NEVER BEEN LIKE IT IS NOW. IT’S NEVER BEEN LIKE IT IS NOW. IF I RENOUNCE MY BELIEFS, IF I AGREED TO STAY SILENT, IF I STAYED AT HOME AND JUST TOOK IT EASY, THE PERSECUTION OF DONALD TRUMP WOULD STOP IMMEDIATELY FULL STOP. BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT I WILL DO, I CAN’T DO THAT. A MUCH SIMPLER LIFE. I HAVE TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY. I CAN’T DO THAT BECAUSE I LOVE OUR COUNTRY AND I CAN’T DO THAT BECAUSE I LOVE THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY. I CAN’T DO THAT. I WOULDN’T DO IT. AND PEOPLE DON’T WANT ME TO DO IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. [APPLAUSE] AND I AM NOT DOING THIS FOR ME BECAUSE I HAD A VERY LUXURIOUS LIFE. I DO VERY SIMPLE LIFE. I’D EVERYTHING. PEOPLE SAY, YOU’RE SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS? BUT THERE IS AN EXPRESSION. THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE IS THE DAY BEFORE YOU RUN FOR PRESIDENT. DID YOU EVER HEAR THAT EXPRESSION? AND I LAUGHED. I SAID, THAT MAY BE TRUE. BUT I’M DOING IT FOR AMERICA AND IT’S MY HONOR TO DO IT, IT’S MY GREAT HONOR TO DO IT. BECAUSE IF I DON’T, OUR NATION IS DOOMED TO BECOME ANOTHER VENEZUELA OR SOVIET UNION. THAT’S WHERE WE’RE HEADED. WE WILL BECOME A VERY LARGE SCALE VERSION OF CUBA. ALL IS LOST AND THERE IS NO HOPE — NO MATTER HOW BIG OR POWERFUL THE CORRUPT RADICALS WE ARE FIGHTING AGAINST MAYBE, NO MATTER HOW MENACING THEY APPEAR, WE MUST NEVER FORGET, THIS NATION DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM, THIS NATION BELONGS TO YOU, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. [APPLAUSE] WE ARE AT THE LEGACY OF GENERATIONS OF AMERICAN PATRIOTS, WHO GAVE THEIR SWEATS, BLOOD, AND TEARS, AND EVEN THEIR VERY LIVES TO BUILD THIS COUNTRY INTO A FREE AND VIRTUOUS REPUBLIC, UNLIKE ANYTHING THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN. OUR AMERICAN ANCESTORS STOOD THEIR GROUND ON BUNKER HILL. THEY STARVED AND SUFFERED AT VALLEY FORGE. AND THEY SEIZED VICTORY AT YORKTOWN. SO MANY GREAT, CREDIBLE, DANGEROUS, BRILLIANT EVENTS. THEY VENTURED OUT AND CONQUERED AN UNTAMED WILDERNESS. THEY SETTLED THE GREAT PLAINS, CROSS THE ROCKIES, AND KEPT PUSHING WESTWARD. THEY RAISED FAMILIES BUT BUILT A BUSTLING CITY. THEY FOUNDED THRIVING INDUSTRIES. THEY WRECK SKEWED — RESCUED FREEDOM FROM THE EVILS OF FASCISM AND THEY PLANTED OUR FLAG ON THE FACE OF THE MOON. THINK OF WHAT WE’VE DONE. THESE COURAGEOUS MEN AND WOMEN GAVE EVERYTHING THEY HAVE TO MAKE AMERICA INTO THE GREATEST NATION IN ALL OF HISTORY. THE GREATEST NATION IN ALL OF HISTORY. BUT NOW WE ARE A NATION IN DECLINE. WE ARE A FAILING NATION. WE’RE A NATION THAT HAS THE HIGHEST INFLATION IN 49 YEARS. HAVE A STOCK MARKET JUST FINISHED ITS FIRST HALF — SINCE 1872. LIKEWISE, WE ARE A NATION THAT HAS THE HIGHEST ENERGY COST IN ITS HISTORY. WE ARE NO LONGER ENERGY INDEPENDENT OR ENERGY DOMINANT, AS WE WERE JUST TWO SHORT YEARS AGO. THINK OF IT. WE ARE A NATION THAT IS BEGGING VENEZUELA AND MANY OTHERS FOR OIL. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP US, JOE BIDEN SAYS. YET, WE HAVE MORE LIQUID GOLD UNDER OUR FEET THAN ANY OTHER NATION IN THE WORLD. WE ARE A NATION THAT IS CONSUMED BY THE RADICAL LEFT GREEN NEW DEAL. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE GREEN NEW DEAL WILL LEAD TO THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR COUNTRY. WE’RE A NATION THAT SURRENDERED AND AFGHANISTAN, LEAVING BEHIND AT SOLDIERS. AMERICAN CITIZENS AND 85 BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF THE FINEST MILITARY EQUIPMENT IN THE WORLD. AND WE ARE A NATION THAT ALLOWED RUSSIA TO DEVASTATE A COUNTRY, UKRAINE, KILLING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE. AND IT WOULD NEVER, NEVER, EVER OF HAPPENED IF I WAS YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. IT WOULD’VE NEVER HAPPENED. [APPLAUSE] IT DIDN’T FOR FOUR YEARS. FOR FOUR YEARS IT DIDN’T. AND CHINA, WITH TAIWAN, IS NEXT. WE ARE A NATION THAT HAS WEAPONIZED ITS LAW ENFORCEMENT LIKE NEVER BEFORE AGAINST THE OPPOSING POLITICAL PARTY. NOTHING HAS EVER HAPPENED LIKE WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW. WE ARE NATION THAT NO LONGER HAS A FREE AND FAIR PRESS. FAKE NEWS IS ALL YOU GET. AND THEY’RE THE TRUE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE. WE ARE A NATION WHERE FREE SPEECH IT IS NO LONGER ALLOWED, WHERE CRIME IS RAMPANT LIKE NEVER BEFORE, WHERE THE ECONOMY HAS BEEN COLLAPSING, WHERE MORE PEOPLE DIED OF COVID IN 2021 THEN DIED IN 2020. WE’RE A NATION THAT IS ALLOWING IRAN TO BUILD A MASSIVE NUCLEAR WEAPON, WHICH THEY’RE INCREDIBLY BEING ALLOWED TO DO RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK. WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP. THEY WERE DYING TO MAKE A DEAL. THEY WOULD’VE MADE A DEAL WITH US RIGHT AFTER THE ELECTION. AND IT WOULD’VE BEEN A GOOD DEAL. AND CHINA IT IS BEING ALLOWED TO USE THE TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IT HAS TAKEN FROM US TO BUILD A MILITARY THE LIKES OF WHICH POSSIBLY THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN. AND THIS ALSO WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED WITH US, THE LEVEL OF SPEED WITH WHICH THEY ARE GOING, IT’S A VERY DANGEROUS THING AND JUST TWO YEARS AGO, WE HAD IRAN, CHINA, RUSSIA, AND NORTH KOREA IN CHECK. THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO A THING AGAINST US. AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. ESPECIALLY THOSE LEADERS. AND PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE ARE A NATION THAT IS NO LONGER RESPECTED OR LISTEN TO AROUND THE WORLD. WE’RE A NATION THAT, IN MANY WAYS, HAS BECOME A JOKE. WE’RE A NATION THAT IS HOSTILE TO LIBERTY AND FREEDOM AND FAITH. WE ARE A NATION WHOSE A CON OF ME IS FLOUNDERING, WHO STORES ARE NOT STOCKED, WHOSE DELIVERIES ARE NOT COMING. AND WHOSE AND WHOSE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IS RANKED OUT THE BOTTOM OF EVERY LIST. BUT WE ARE NOT GOING TO LET THIS CONTINUE. TWO YEARS AGO WE HAD THE GREATEST, THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT, TWO YEARS AGO. IT WAS GREATNESS LIKE NO ONE HAD EVER SEEN. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYTHING, WE WERE OUT LAPPING CHINA LEVELS ARE THEY NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE, CHINA ALWAYS SAW THEY WERE GOING TO BE THE WORLD’S BIGGEST ECONOMY BY 2018, 2019 AT THE LATEST. AND THEY WEREN’T EVEN CLOSE BECAUSE WE WERE OUTDISTANCING SOMETHING THAT THEY NEVER THOUGHT COULD HAPPEN. BUT SOON WE WILL HAVE GREATNESS AGAIN, WITH ALL OF MY HEART, AND ALL OF MY SOUL LIFE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL REJECT A FATE OF DECLINE, THE MORE LIKE JASON, AND ULTIMATELY A FIFTH OF DEFEAT. AND I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL COME TOGETHER AND CHOOSE INSTEAD A FUTURE OF RENEWAL, REVIVAL, RECOVERY, RESURGENCE, AND IN THE END A NATION THAT IS MORE EXCEPTIONAL THAN IT EVER WAS BEFORE. I BELIEVE WE CAN DO THAT. [APPLAUSE] AMERICA’S STORY IS FAR FROM OVER. IN FACT, WE ARE JUST GETTING READY FOR AN INCREDIBLE COMEBACK. A COMEBACK THAT WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO MAKE. WE DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. WE WILL NOT HAVE A COUNTRY IF WE DON’T MAKE IT. THROUGH STRENGTH, WE WILL RESTORE OUR SAFETY. THROUGH HARDWORKING, WE WILL REBUILD OUR PROSPERITY. THROUGH COURAGE, WE WILL RECLAIM OUR LIBERTY. THROUGH LOVE, WE WILL REPAIR OUR UNITY. THROUGH HIS SUCCESS, WE WILL REDISCOVER OUR PRIDE. AND THROUGH UNYIELDING DETERMINATION TOGETHER, WE WILL MAKE AMERICA STRONGER, SAFER, FREER, GREATER, AND MORE GLORIOUS NEVER BEFORE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. IT HAS BEEN A GREAT HONOR. THANK YOU. (music) (music) (music) ##
