Donald Trump We're gonna have a great year. Hopefully, it's gonna be 1 of the greatest years ever. You know why? Because in November, it's going to be big. It's gonna be bigger than anything ever happened to this country, I think it really is of that magnitude, and I appreciate such a big turnout.

Donald Trump I use that word because our country's really in trouble. It's in trouble like it's never been before, in my opinion. We have A man who's grossly incompetent dealing about dealing with nuclear war. He's dealing against Russia. He's dealing against president Xi of China.
Donald Trump If you would deal with these people, you'd say it's not a fair fight. By delivering the massive victory, it's gonna be I think it's gonna be really a tremendous victory Dree owned I well, because I'm seeing polls that are phenomenal, but the the main thing I gotta ask you look, we gotta get out and vote because, you know, bad things happen when you sit back. And he said, we love him. We love the job. We love the job he did for the farmers, for the whole state, but, Let's sit home and watch it.
Donald Trump Maybe it'll be a little bit cold that night or a little bit rainy. So important that we get out and vote and really show it show the strength because The only way we can get hurt is if you sit home and wanna watch the great results on television, then you say, is it too late? We gotta get out there fast. But, that's not gonna happen. But if you would, get out and vote.
Donald Trump Even though, you know, the polls have us way, way up, strange things happen. So, if you don't mind look. She's shaking her head. You're right. You're right.
Donald Trump Oh, we've seen some very strange things happen, But I'm not worried about that. You know, the 1 thing I'm we're here. I'm worried about it a lot of other places. I'm not worried about it here. What I'm worried about here is we have to just get out and, Show the support because it's gonna make a big difference in November.
Donald Trump We're voting now, but it's gonna make a big difference in November. By delivering a massive victory in Iowa, you'll send a thundering message to Crooked Joe Biden. He's a crooked man. He's an incompetent crooked man. You're gonna send it to the fake news media right back there.
Donald Trump Well, that's a lot of press for this corner, this beautiful This beautiful election, you know, they said you didn't really have to come here. I said, like hell, I don't have to come here. I have to come here. If I didn't come here, I'd be in big trouble. I'd be in big trouble.

Donald Trump You better get there. I said, I'll get there. But all the evil and all the sinister people tried to destroy our nation, and that's what happens. They are destroying our nation. I don't know how much more our nation can take.
Donald Trump When you look at the border, when you look at Afghanistan, the way we got out, we're gonna get out. We're gonna get out with strength and dignity. And the way we got out was something, I think, the most horrible day, the most embarrassing day or moment in the history of our country. Owned that led to a lot of other bad things, including Russia going into Ukraine. A lot of other bad things that led to with your vote for our campaign on Monday, January 15th, you'll Declare that we are going to take back our country.
Donald Trump We're going to defeat Crooked Joe Biden, and we're going to make America great again. Right? And it all starts right here, you know, because of me. We'll tell you. I'll take full credit.

You know, you have a great tradition in Iowa, great tradition for farming and plenty of other things, but you have a great Political tradition owned they wanted to move you to the back of the pack.

We're not doing maybe somebody else someday, hopefully, long down because I I have signed I'll have signed those rights into your corner for a long period of time.

Donald Trump Come here, Brad. Get up here, Brad. Wanna say something? Come on. That was easy to endorse you, and he is the best president of my lifetime.
Donald Trump The 47th president of the United States, Donald j Trump. I said, who's that guy named Brad In Iowa, because this was 3 months before I even knew I was running. Brad, I tell you, I never Center to say that. I had no idea I was running, Brad. But he said if that guy in New York wants to run, he's got my endorsement.
Donald Trump He's gonna do it. He can turn it around. He's the only 1 I know that can turn it around. And, he was actually the and I I endorse him, he said. I said, that's my first endorsement.
Donald Trump So when I finally got to meet him, which was around 20 15 in 2015, so it's a long time already. But, a lot of great things have happened owned then we had a lot of bad things happen the last 3 years, a lot of bad bad things owned. But I was very honored by Brad owned, there's a special feeling you have for some people, you know, when that happens. And I have that Special feeling from him. He's a great person and he, loves the state very much.
Donald Trump Does a great job. Today, I'm also proud to announce that our campaign has been endorsed by pastors and faith leaders in every single 1 of the 99 counties. That's almost, I think, a first. Thank you very much. God is with us.
Donald Trump I think so. Right? Thank you very much. These are great people. That's a great honor.
Donald Trump I think it's a first to all 99 counties. The stakes for this election could not be higher under Crooked Joe Biden. Our borders, if you noticed and I'm sure nobody's noticed. Our borders have been erased. They've been obliterated.
Donald Trump We have people coming in, millions and millions of people coming in. They're coming in from prisons. They're coming in from mental institutions. They're terrorists. Million of people are coming in that shouldn't be here.
Donald Trump If you look at the world's not just the 3 or 4 nations that We think about, you know, whether it's Mexico or, if you anyone any 1 of the nations. You could also by the way, you know, we also have a northern border that's not doing too well. But if you look Honduras, El Salvador, any 1 of these nations, it's not them. It's everybody all over the world. They caught, prisoners the other day from the Congo.
Donald Trump When I say caught, they catch them and they release them. We used to catch him and release him into Mexico. Do you remember? We released him into it was called catch and release into Mexico, Owned they gave that up. You think that was easy to get from Mexico?
Donald Trump No. But they did it. They did it. They did it very gladly. We didn't have to pay.
Donald Trump Now they want 1,000,000,000 of dollars to Help us with this problem. And with me, they never even asked for 1,000,000,000 of dollars. I said, you're gonna pay 1,000,000,000 of dollars if you don't help us with this problem. But all over the Donald, we're talking about not just the, countries near us or the countries only in South America. They they do.
Donald Trump They come from the Congo. They come from Africa. They come Asia, like, many people from China. They owned to be about the age of this gentleman right here, you know, around 20 for perfect perfect age. In his early twenties, just perfect for the military.
Donald Trump Isn't it? 27,000 people from China, all males, It's all between owned. Perfect for the military. I wonder what that's all about. So it's a Pretty scary thing.
Donald Trump We have him coming in from Russia. The same thing. They all seem to be between 19 and 24 or 25. I won I wonder why that that is. We're gonna we're gonna be paying a price, but we'll take care of it.
Donald Trump We get in, we're gonna be taking care of it. We're gonna have no choice but to take care of it. We're not gonna have a But our middle class is being crushed by Biden's crippling inflation. The inflation has been, the worst that we've ever had. They say 72 years, sir.
Donald Trump Be accurate. I say, I think it's the worst we've ever had. There's never been anything like this. We've Food prices have tripled owned, every single thing you do, the energy prices, look at what's happened to energy. Violent criminals are running wild owned democrat run while law enforcement has been weaponized against Christians and conservatives and people of faith, it's weaponized against Christians.
Donald Trump It's really weaponized. I don't know how many Catholics are in the room. Maybe not that many year. Are they? Well, what are we doing with the Catholics?
Donald Trump I mean, they are going they're Executing Catholics owned then the Catholics, it's 5050 between Catholics and us, Trump. 5050. And I say, you know, it's amazing. I got a call from, the cardinal, New York. A very good man.
Donald Trump And he he said, sir This was during the pandemic. He said, sir, we need 1,000,000,000 of dollars to help us with our education. Our schools were losing A fortune. And I got him the money. It was very important to get it because they do a tremendous service owned they have great schools, but they were Hurting badly during that, and I was able to get him the money.
Donald Trump And, then I look at the vote. It's like 5050. And I say, why? But now, They are persecuting Catholics in particular. I don't know what's going on with the Catholics.
Donald Trump You guys are Catholic. What's going on with Catholics? Why are they doing this with Catholics? Something's happening. But they're doing it with Christians, and they're doing it with parents, and they're doing it with a lot of people.
Donald Trump And, you campaign you explain that 1. Let's go and get the parents at the school board meetings. Right? It's ridiculous. But we have wars in Europe.
Donald Trump We have war in the Middle East, and China is threatening Taiwan. Iran is inches away from a nuclear bomb. They're gonna have a nuclear bomb, they say, in 34 days. Owned we when we were in charge, Iran was broke. Iran had no money for Hamas.
Donald Trump They had no money for Hezbollah. They were broke. Now they're very rich. They have $250,000,000,000, they say, not including the 6,000,000,000 they got for a hostage trade. We got 5 and they got 5.
Donald Trump I said, alright. That's good. That's better than they usually do. Usually, you know, we give up well, we gave up the King of terror. You know, we the last with the basketball player, Brittney Center.
Donald Trump We we gave up we gave up The greatest, purchaser of military arms and equipment and very deadly equipment in the history of the world, they say. He was called the phantom of death. So they got him owned we got Britney. Owned and that was a tough trade. That was a tough trade.
Donald Trump But, you know, at least she's standing now for the national anthem, I think, but she didn't stand too much. She was she always wanted to tie her sneakers during the national anthem. I didn't like that. I didn't like it. That was the time when she heard the national anthem, that meant it was time for her tie upper sneakers.
Donald Trump I don't like that. But our military has gone woke owned we're teetering on the edge of World War 3. We've never been closer than we are right now to World War 3. There's only 1 candidate in this race who's going to be up to the task of Saving America from every single Biden disaster starting on day 1. Number 1, I know the, the players on the other side, and they always respected your country I don't wanna say they respected me, but boy did they respect this country when I was in charge.
Donald Trump They respected us like they've never Like they've never respected us. Right? You wouldn't have had Ukraine. You wouldn't have had Israel being attacked. Russia wouldn't be attacking Ukraine, but you wouldn't have had the attack on Israel.
Donald Trump You wouldn't have had inflation. You wouldn't have had any of this stuff. You wouldn't have China, longing to go into Taiwan. You know, they're just waiting for the right moment. They wouldn't even talk about it.
Donald Trump They weren't even talking about it, though. Owned they won't be. I promise you that. But with your vote in these caucuses, we're going to finish the job owned we're gonna get it Donald we're gonna actually be stronger than ever before. It's hard to believe because you see the damage that's been done.
Donald Trump No president has Ever ever. You and I, you know, I often say you can take the 10 worst presidents in the history of our country, you can add them up, Put them together owned they haven't done the damage that Joe Biden's done to this country. What he's done to this country is unthinkable. Biden's record is an unbroken streak of weakness, incompetence, corruption, and failure. Other than that, he's doing quite well.
Donald Trump Isn't he, Donald you? That's a hell of a list. That's a hell of a list. Right? That's why Crooked Joe is staging his pathetic fear mongering campaign event in Pennsylvania Today, I did you see him?
Donald Trump He was stuttering through the whole thing. He's going, bah. I've got a he's a threat to democracy. I'm a They've weaponized government. He's saying I'm a threat to democracy.
Donald Trump He's a threat to, democracy. Well, okay. Couldn't read the word. He's a threat to democracy. You know how bad the press is?
Donald Trump You know what they do? They take me saying that like that Owned they say, Trump couldn't say the word democracy. Look. No. That's what they do.
Donald Trump They're so bad. You know, I don't know if you saw it. I was on Sean Hannity. A good guy. Really good guy.
Donald Trump Right? And we did a town hall owned he says, tell us, You're not gonna be a dictator. Right? I said, Sean, I'm gonna be a dictator for 1 day, for drilling and for closing the border. And after that, I'm not gonna be a dictator.
Donald Trump So so remember the way I said, I'm gonna be a dictator for 1 day for those 2 things. And then after that, I'm not gonna be so I said I'm gonna be a dictator for 1 day For drilling. Right? For drilling. And then so what do they do?
Donald Trump What do they do? We say drilling owned the border, then I go, Owned then after that, I'm not gonna be a dictator, sir. 1 day. So they have me on the news all over the place. I'm gonna be a dictator.
Donald Trump Cut. They did you see that? Yeah. This is the fake news media. They have the first part, I'm going to be a dictator.
Donald Trump Cut. And they had to cut it fast because I kept it going fast because I know exactly what they did. They had me the other day, I was imitating, Biden because he can't walk off Stay, Greg. You know, I could no. You can never find the exit, so they had me turning around and looking for I mean, these sages have a lot of stairs on them.
Donald Trump Some of them have 4 or 5 stairs owned he did. He had, like, so many stairs. He couldn't find it. And they showed me that I couldn't find a way off the stage. In other words, they said he couldn't find a way off the stage.
Donald Trump And it's just terrible. They're so bad. They you guys are so dishonest. You're so pathetic. That's why they're all going out of business, I'll tell you.
Donald Trump They are just so pathetic. Owned, you know, it's so important having a an honest media is so important, but they just aren't. And it's a lot of times what they don't say. It's not only what they say, it's what they don't say. But So I I have to be very careful with sarcasm because I'm a little sarcastic sometimes owned you say something.
Donald Trump And everybody there is laughing, having a good time, but they put it on as though you mean it, you know. It's, So you can't have any fun during these rather terrible times if you think about it. Because Biden I mean, if you if you Take a look at what he's doing on the border, or inflation or our military, that horrible day in Afghanistan. You look at what he's done with energy all throughout the Donald, we're an embarrassment as a country. We become an embarrassment as a country.
Donald Trump The only reason Biden is at Valley Forge abusing George Washington's legacy I mean, he's abusing Washington's Legacy. And he never sets up for Washington. You know, they've taken the name George Washington off many schools and many different can you believe it? The name George Washington is coming down from many schools, many in California, and, he would've stopped that. But it's a legacy to it's really a slander and a horrible statement he's making to 75,000,000 Americans.
Donald Trump That's what they say. It's much more than that. You saw the numbers that came out yesterday on the election. Everybody saw those numbers. They were released.
Donald Trump The fake news doesn't wanna talk about them, But it's a disgrace what happened in 2020. It's a disgrace owned everybody knows it. I think they have 81% of the people understand that. But he knows he can't show his face at the southwest border or in East Palestine, Ohio, where I love those people. They were great people.
Donald Trump I went there Family when they had that really bad election. And he, went to the auto workers' factories. Theresa's given away our auto business to China, mostly to China. You could sit down if you want. Go ahead.
Donald Trump Go ahead. See, I'm I'm not kidding you with those people that's sitting. You can't stand up in the front. Right? But thank you very much.
Donald Trump But, you know, people are waiting for 3, 4 days in these days. That's cold out there. That's a long wait. Right? It's pretty cold out there.
Donald Trump I said, where's my coat? I had to walk 15 feet from the car to the I said, do you have a coat? And these people are waiting for 3 days. So that's good. That means you're hearty you're hearty people.
Donald Trump You're strong people. Thank you. Thank you very much. But you If you if you take a look, Crooked Joe cannot talk about a single issue that matters to hardworking Americans because he's failed you and he's betrayed US on every single issue and on policy, he's the worst ever. And people have known that for a long time.
Donald Trump Secretary of states have said He doesn't know what he's doing. Obama said it. A lot of people said it, but he doesn't know what he's doing. You look at what's happening in the Middle East. You look at what's going on with Ukraine.
Donald Trump He he doesn't know what he's doing. Biden and the radical left Democrats lied to us because they know that Americans can't stand the truth about them because they know how badly they're doing. They are doing so badly. You know, they start off with a base, because people said a friend of mine called up. We're leading by 11 in a number of places.
Donald Trump Now 11's a lot, but a friend of mine called up. How come you're only leading by 11? This guy can't put 2 sentences Together, I said, well, they start off with a base like about 39. He's at 38, so that's he said, it's interesting. It's hard to be a 38 as Democrat.
Donald Trump But Republicans have to do it the old fashioned way. We have to earn every 1 of them. But they have a base. I won't exactly tell you what that base is, but we all know what that base is. They have people that are gonna vote Democrat almost no matter what.
Donald Trump But I'll tell you, the union part of that base is coming to us. The union part Can also tell you another, the Hispanic part is coming to us at levels that nobody's ever seen before. We're leading with Hispanics. That's never happened before. An African American is coming to us at a level that I don't think any Republican has seen because they understand that, this man is not capable.
Donald Trump He's not a capable person. I I mean, if you had a store and you wanted to take a week off, you wouldn't put him in charge of the store. No. You wouldn't. Yeah.
Donald Trump You would you trust him to run your store? I don't think anybody would. That's a little quest it's a little, you know, thing. If you have a store, Would you trust the president of the United States to run your story? He couldn't do it.
Donald Trump This election is our last Chance to save America. Very important. The battle begins in Iowa on January 15th, and Joe Biden's Banana Republic ends on November 5th 2024. Owned I believe Because the stock market's doing okay for the last 6 months, but I believe the reason is because we're leading in all the polls. I think if we weren't, The stock market would be going down at a level that you haven't seen.
Donald Trump And I think if we don't win, I think you're gonna end up in a stock market like you had in 1929, not a recession, a depression. Owned I believe that? I have to say it. I really believe you're gonna end up in a depression. You take a look at what these people are doing, how they're wasting all this money on green the green news scam.
Donald Trump It's called the green new scam. It's horrible. Horrible. Horrible. With your help, we're going to bring our country back from disaster.
Donald Trump Our country's a disaster, laughed at all over the world. Since 2016, you and I have been In this battle side by side, I mean, we won we won twice and we're gonna win a 3rd time. We're gonna win by more now, they say. We're owned by more in terms of November. We're gonna win by more than we did even the 1st 2 times.
Donald Trump And we won nicely. We won very nice look, I did get you 28 $1,000,000,000 in all fairness. Right? Who the hell else would get you $28,000,000,000 from China? The farmers of America.
Donald Trump I say the farmers of America are not voting against Trump. They're all smiling. They're like they're they owned us big. Remember I said, here's what you do. We're gonna a little while with China, but we're gonna end up winning the negotiation owned we're gonna make a great trade deal.
Donald Trump You know, I don't even talk about that trade deal. I talk about USMCA. I talked about all the many trade deals I made and re and redid because you had such crazy deals. I used to say, who makes these deals? They're so bad.
Donald Trump But I don't talk about China, but China was probably the biggest of them all. $50,000,000,000 million have to buy. They used to buy 10, 12, 50,000,000,000 they had to buy. Now I don't know if they're watching it because I don't think Biden's gonna enforce anything because China pays him a lot of money, You know, it gives him a lot of money. So he's a Manchurian candidate in the 2 you know what a Manchurian candidate is?
Donald Trump This young Center, he doesn't know. Don't you don't wanna find out. He's a Manchurian candidate. We took on the entire corrupt system in Washington like no 1 has ever done before. And together, we stood up to the failed establishment, meant the corrupt media, the deep state, the globalist, the warmongers, the Wall Street special interests, and open border fanatics.
Donald Trump I mean, a lot of these Wall Street guys, they know me, they like me, and I see that they're endorsing, like, Nikki Haley, birdbrain. They're in they're endorsing Nikki Haley, Who does not have what it takes, by the way. I'm just telling you. I've spent a lot of time with her. She does not have I hope you enjoy her, you know, with her little quips.
Donald Trump Like, how did the civil war start? What was the well, it had to do with government. It had no. With slavery. You know, I never questioned her in that.
Donald Trump I never wanted to Pile on. But, you'll find out about Nikki owned you're gonna find out that, Ron, you gotta have a little personality, you know? We took him We took him from practically 0. He begged me for the endorsement. I gave him the endorsement.
Donald Trump He was like a rocket ship. 1 day, he was leading And he won, and then I helped him win the general. And then 4 years later, they said, will you run against the president? And he says, I have no comment. I said, that means he's running.
Donald Trump Oh, man. This guy's running. I got him elected. He's gonna run against me. So I started hitting him very hard owned a lot of my geniuses backstage get paid a lot of money.
Donald Trump Sir, don't go after him. He's a Republican. I said, I don't care if he's a Republican or not. I said, he said he has no comment. I got him election.
Donald Trump But you need a personality still owned there's not a lot of personality there. So, you know, you need a personality to charm Foreign leaders, you think President Xi is easy to deal with owned Putin? And do you think, Kim Jong un, North Korea, you're gonna get into a nuclear war. If Hillary won that election, you would be in a nuclear war. Who knows where you'd be right now?
Donald Trump Because nuclear is a level that nobody Once you even think about and, you know, again, now we have the problem with Iran owned they're gonna have it. You know, when I busted up that whole Iran situation, They were supposed to make a deal, but they didn't do anything. They didn't do anything. And now they're gonna have a nuclear weapon owned they allowed them to sell. I told China, if you buy oil from Iran, you can't do business in the United States.
Donald Trump They said, well, we're not gonna buy any more oil. Thank you very much. Owned I said that to many countries owned they were doing literally no business. They were broke. And then, Biden came along, took off all those sanctions in 1 day owned All of a sudden you have, you know, the greatest sponsor of terror anywhere in the Donald, probably in history, and they're giving money to everybody that Economic power.
Donald Trump And by the way, I wanna make a good deal for them too. I think everybody would be but they cannot have a nuclear weapon. That was the only thing. The 1 thing I said you cannot have had that election not been rigged, we would have had a deal with Iran in the 1st week. In the 1st week after the election, not even in January, after the election, we would have had a deal with Iran.
Donald Trump But they didn't do anything. Thing. I terminated the deal, which was not easy to do, and then you were supposed to make a deal. They didn't do that. These people are incompetent, Owned they're very dangerous for our country.
Donald Trump We achieved more than any administration in the history of our country. We fought long and Hard to rescue the Republican Party from the likes of Mitt Romney, Karl Rove, this Paul Ryan guy who's the worst. And there's no chance remember Paul Ryan? Wheelchair off the cliff. Remember this guy?
Donald Trump He is bad news owned he works at Fox now. He's on the board of Fox. You think that's good? No wonder no wonder Fox has changed. There's no chance we're going to let them claw their way back into power and establishment Like Ron DeSanctis and Nikki Haley.
Donald Trump You know, the other day they had him on our program, Ron DeSanctis. His name is DeSantis. But they had him on a program. Ladies and gentlemen, we're proud to have the governor of Florida, mister Ron DeSanctis. They said, no.
Donald Trump No. No. It's DeSanctis. That's good branding, right, when they can't even say his name? Governor yeah.
Donald Trump Ron DeSanctimonious, actually. It's The abbreviated version is run de sanctus. Right? But he's, got a bad seed there because Any any guy that would do that, when you get somebody elected, you say, let the president have this time. He'll do a great job.
Donald Trump And everybody said we did a great job. Let the president do a great job. And he's young and he'll take over, but he's a bad seed. He won't You won't be getting my endorsements. I can tell you that.
Donald Trump I can't thank you very much, darling. I like you too. Who said that? Who was it thank you. Look at that.
Donald Trump You look thank you. That is a nice voice. Right? I heard that voice. I said, just stand up, please, if you want.
Donald Trump Thank you very much. Very beautiful. Our country's dying and there's no time to waste for your vote or another establishment career politician. We have to straighten out our country. We have to strain.
Donald Trump We got we got badly hurt when the, the gift from China poured onto our shores, COVID. You know, the, day before that happened, I had John McLaughlin, the great pollster. He was in my office with some other pollsters owned they said, sir, I'll be honest with you. You can't lose. This is the greatest poll numbers I've ever seen.
Donald Trump You know, we're a couple of years, 2 and a half years in. And, they said you can't lose if George Washington came back from the dead owned Lincoln came back and they teamed up as president And owned vice president, sir, you beat him by a lot. I said, that sounds good. The next day I go into the Donald office, they say, sir, there's a problem in China. There are a lot of people dying in Wuhan.
Donald Trump Remember I said it was the Wuhan lab? I never changed. It was the Wuhan lab. But other people said, oh, it's a cave from 2,000 miles away with bats. Then they blamed France.
Donald Trump They blamed Italy. They blamed everybody. It ultimately came back to Wuhan, which is what I said. I never changed. But they said, there's a problem over there.
Donald Trump A lot of bodies lying around this, particular facility. I knew what the facility was owned I said, that's not good, But who would have ever thought? And we did a phenomenal job. We never got credit for that. Look, owned we got credit for a great economy.
Donald Trump We got a lot of credit too. But We really did a great job owned that. Nobody knew what the hell it was, but, they said you would there was nobody that could ever have come even close to us. Look at how the farmers were doing. And by that time, we had a deal with China.
Donald Trump We had everything cooked owned we made USMCA. Everybody said, You'll never be able to change NAFTA. Remember NAFTA? That horrible, horrible deal, 1 of the worst trade deals ever made. But a vote for Donald Trump and these caucuses is a vote to secure our border.
Donald Trump It's a vote to stop the invasion of millions of people from parts unknown. We don't even know where the hell they come from. They come from parts unknown. It's a vote to rescue our economy owned it's a vote to reclaim our democracy from crooked Joe Biden and the entire criminal class in our nation's capital. They're criminals.
Donald Trump What they're doing with voters and what they're doing with the weaponization of the system owned elections, what they're doing is incredible. I mean, I've gotten indicted more than Al Capone. Do you know Al Capone Scarface, you know? Yeah. Scar from here to here, and he didn't get it.
Donald Trump I always say playing tiddlywinks. Right? He was rather a rough guy. Owned if he had dinner with you, if he didn't like the way you smiled, they'd shoot you the next day. You'd get killed, probably the next night.
Donald Trump But you'd get you'd be gone. He had indicted Less than me. I got indicted because they said we had a rigged election, and it turned out I was right. It was rigged much worse owned anybody thought. But unlike every other candidate in this race with me, you know, In your heart that I will always put America first.
Donald Trump We put America first. And with God's help, our job will get Donald it'll get done like it did before. More. We did more. I mean, we rebuilt our military.
Donald Trump We got the biggest tax cuts in history. We got the biggest regulation cuts in history. Right to try. Hopefully, nobody in this room needs it. But, you know, we have space age.
Donald Trump We have the greatest doctors and laboratories in the world owned, people couldn't use it if, they were sick. They go to Asia. They go to Europe. They go all over the world if they had money. If they didn't have money, they go home and they die.
Donald Trump I got right to try so that we could take something that wouldn't be approved for 5 or 6 years by the TA, I moved that up too, by the way. That used to be 12 years. We cut it down in half. And what it was going further. But right to try gave you the right to Sign a very quick document and get whatever it is out there.
Donald Trump You know, they used to say, we can't do that, sir. There's great liability. Supposing I said they're terminal. They're terminal. Only terminal.
Donald Trump You have to be very, very sick. People that are very sick that, you wouldn't believe the results. The results are thousands and thousands of people are living right now. You know, the, laboratories didn't want it because a lot of people would die owned they didn't want that in the record. Doctors didn't want it.
Donald Trump Our country didn't want it because we owned want the liability. And they Center something saying you have no liability whatsoever. There's nobody has any liability but we gotta do it. They're terminally ill. These are terminally ill people Owned we are saving thousands of lives.
Donald Trump And it sort of worked out the opposite for some of these great laboratories because instead of having liability, they're showing it really works Excuse you're bringing people that were going to be dead very soon owned you're bringing them back to life. And, you know, some of the stuff that they've done is incredible. I'm very honored by that. They've been trying to get that for 54 years owned they didn't get it, but I got it. And and we had to get it through congress too.
Donald Trump Thank you. And that had to go through congress. You know, much of it you hear about all these executive orders, but a lot of this stuff to get it done and get it done right has to go through congress. And We got that through congress. It was a great victory.
Donald Trump And, victories cannot come soon enough for our country. As we speak, The last remnants of our open and broken border are crumbling into rubble as millions and millions of people storm into the United States in the largest illegal Mass migration in the history of the world. There's never been a country in the world, 3rd world country, Banana Republic. There's never been a anything like what you're watching on election, and they pretend like, like, they've got it under control. Last month, they set a record.
Donald Trump Owned of thousands of people, Bigger than practically any city in your great state. I think bigger just about than any city. Campaign just last month Owned numbers like nobody and they pretend like it's, it's under control. It's not under control. It's totally out of control.
Donald Trump And part of the reason they want him to come in is, in my opinion because look, they're not stupid. Anybody that can cheat on an election like that is not stupid. Okay? Because they're professionals at cheating. But anybody that can cheat like that, they're not stupid people.
Donald Trump So there's 2 things owned then a third. Number 1, they're stupid. Number 2 right? Number 2, they hate our country. Owned number 3, they want those people to vote.
Donald Trump And that's a bad 1. That's the 1 that scares us most. And I'm telling you, they're signing people. That's what they're doing. And I believe now that that's why they're letting allowing these people to come in.
Donald Trump People that don't speak our language, they're signing them up to vote. Owned I believe that's why you're having millions of people pour into our country, and it could very well affect the next election. And I believe that's why they're doing it because, they know what they're doing. You know, if they could do as well in running the country, In making deals with other countries so we don't get ripped off every time every deal we have is a horrible deal. I mean, Europe is laughing at us.
Donald Trump Look at Ukraine. We're in for 200,000,000,000. Europe is in for 20,000,000,000. Why? And Europe is a very similar size when you add up the countries, very similar the economy.
Donald Trump So they're in for 20 and we're in for 200. When I was, doing NAFTA, I went. I said, you know, the NAFTA deal is so unfair, But NATO you take a look at NATO, every deal is horrible. I've I haven't seen any deals that are like good Donald. So we renegotiated with South Korea with Japan, with Abe, who was so great.
Donald Trump But, you know, what happened to Abe? Oh, he's a terrible he was a great great gentleman, great man. But we renegotiated the Japanese deal for the farmers and for manufacturers, and it worked out to be really good. We started off with a horrible base because they were so it was so one-sided. You know, they sell millions of cars that we I said, Shinzo, let me ask you a question.
Donald Trump How many cars are we selling in the middle of Tokyo? How many Chevrolets are we selling in the middle of Tokyo? I don't believe any. That's right. We have none.
Donald Trump You know, it's a very one-sided deal and, we changed it around a lot, especially for the farmers, family. Especially for the farmers. But we changed we changed all of these things around and we were we were rocking and rolling. If you look back, 10 years. If you look back 5 years, you'd see that there was a statistic that was scary.
Donald Trump China was going to overtake us in 2018 or 2019. And we were hitting it so good, and we picked up so much. We left them in the dust. We left him in the dust. They never even came close.
Donald Trump And I always say, if we have a smart President, that will never happen. But now we're giving it all back to China, what we're doing. And, you know, he wants to end the tariffs. These tariffs are bringing in 1,000,000,000 of dollars that I put on China. No president's ever given no president's ever gotten 10¢, not 10¢, and he wants to give it back.
Donald Trump So far, he hasn't been able to because it's so much money that he hasn't been able to pull it off. But he would like to give it back, the Tariffs owned if they do that if they do give that back, China will literally take over this country economically. It's a it'll be a horrible thing. But, know, putting those tariffs on was not the easiest thing to do, but they paid us 100 of 1,000,000,000 of dollars. And as I say, I always say proudly owned my people say, please don't YouTube Iowa for granted.
Donald Trump Don't take sir, please don't take you can't because I always say, how the Hell do I lose Iowa? I got the farmers of this country $28,000,000,000. How the hell do I and they're always saying right? But they're always saying, sir, please don't I say I'll I said, I'll take my chances. Nobody else look, Ron DeSantimonias was against the farmers Owned he was against ethanol.
Donald Trump Nikki is against farmers. She wanted to decimate Social Security. So did he, by the way. He want to move the age up to 70. She want to go higher than that.
Donald Trump I mean and these people 1 thing about a politician because I dealt on the other side of politics a lot too. 1 thing about a they always go back to what they originally had. That's their that's their inclination. They always go back to what they where they originally were. But I was for all of your things and I was for your ethanol.
Donald Trump And ethanol, let me tell you, it's always a battle with ethanol. It's not easy. But I saved ethanol owned, they will get rid of it immediately. They're gonna get rid of it immediately. I can tell you that.
Donald Trump Despite even though all of a sudden they become ethanol people, you know. This This industry is good to give Ron a little party, like, 12 people are gonna show up because of his owned on ethanol. Tell him to go back a year and a half and take a look at his it's a his real stance. A record 300,000 illegal aliens were detected crossing the border in December alone. That's the largest number in history.
Donald Trump That's the biggest number In history owned under the Trump administration, we had the most secure border in the United States in US history 3 years ago. So you went from the most secure border with, by the way, the least number of drugs pouring into our country in 22 years. Okay? Owned that's not acceptable. Look, the way if you wanna stop the drug epidemic into our country, which is killing, in my opinion, owned, 300,000 people.
Donald Trump They would say owned. It's not a100. It's much more than that. You know what to do. Right?
Donald Trump Do you know what to do? Vote for Trump. He says Vote for Trump. Well, that's another way of saying yeah. You could say that's very good.
Donald Trump I like that. No. The death penalty for drug dealers. If you do the death penalty, you stop it. You know, A drug dealer, on average, will kill 500 people during his or her lifetime.
Donald Trump Right? 500 p when you think of it, that's really bad news. But on average, we'll kill 500 people during his or her lifetime. And when I went to China and I saw president Xi, I said, do you have a problem with drugs? No.
Donald Trump No. We do not. Oh, why? Quick Donald. Quick trial.
Donald Trump I knew what quick trial meant. Right? Quick trial. Unlike our trials that last, you know, 400 years, except if I'm being tried. If I'm being tried, they go quickly.
Donald Trump They set records. If I'm being tried for bullshit, they go fast. Mine. I'm setting records. They've never seen in Washington DC.
Donald Trump They've never seen speed like the Other guys, they'd be in court for 7 years. Mine gets done, like, 2 months. It's nobody's ever said what a what a 2 tiered system of justice we have in this country. It's horrible. It's horrible.
Donald Trump But, if you wanna solve the drug problem, that's what you do. I said, you have no. We don't have any. They used to have a fantastic problem. They used to have Tremendous problem with drugs.
Donald Trump Ruined the country, actually. Japan took over China. Smaller nation took over China because they had the opium fields. They had They're drugs. Tremendous drugs and, owned of drugs.
Donald Trump And, now they don't have drugs owned it's, they do it because, if they they say, if you get caught Selling drugs, you get the death penalty owned you go quickly. It's a quick trial. And everyone said, well, let's get the hell out of here. The drug dealer said, Darling, I think we're gonna head to the United States. Let's sell them in the United States.
Donald Trump So that's the way, but I'm not sure this country is ready for it. They should be ready for it because, they're destroying our country. They're ruining families. Many people in this room, I'm sure, have been greatly affected by drug addicted kids who would have never that would have never happened if you If you didn't have these drugs pouring in, usually, mostly over the southern border. But we had it down to a record low for about 25 years just, In what we were doing, we built 561 miles of border wall.
Donald Trump You know, I always get a kick out of this because they say, oh, you only built 59 miles. No. No. If there's a piece of 2 by 4 laying on the ground that's 40 years old and rotted, but it used to be, like, to stop a bicycle from coming whatever. If there's a little piece of steel laying there and it's hasn't been painted in a 100 years, it used to be there many many years ago, laying just on the ground flat, nothing else, They consider that a renovation when you build a big monster wall.
Donald Trump So they say, no. No. He only built 58 miles. No. No.
Donald Trump We build 561 miles of wall. And that's why we had the safest border. That and in all fairness, Mexico Giving us 28,000 soldiers worth 1,000,000,000 of dollars, by the way. 28,000 soldiers. I went to the President.
Donald Trump I said, you have to give us 28,000 soldiers for the border. No. No. No. We won't do that.
Donald Trump The head of the state department, who was very much involved with Mexico, said, you'll never get it, sir. We've been trying to get that for years. You'll never get it. I said, no. We'll get it.
Donald Trump A owned. Center we'll also get campaign in Mexico owned we'll also get Catch and release. You know what catch and release? Well, they catch them and they release them in our country. Well, we got catch and release.
Donald Trump We release them in Mexico. We catch them and we release them in May. Owned we got 9 other things that were just as bad. We got 9 other things. You know, your medical component.
Donald Trump If you're very sick, you don't come into our country. I'm sorry. You can't come in. We don't want people catching various diseases that were, very prevalent and are prevalent right now. So we did a great job, but they said that won't happen.
Donald Trump And The chief representative, a very handsome guy, good looking guy, came in to see me representing the president of Mexico, who happens to be a great guy. He's a socialist, but you can't help. Can't have everything. Right? But he's a great guy, actually.
Donald Trump He's a friend of mine. But I said, you have to do this. But he came over and I said, here's what we're gonna need. I told the, Person representing you know, dealing with Mexico from the state department has said, here's what you have to do. Give me your top 10 things.
Donald Trump Owned I went to border patrol, Brandon Judd. I went to Tom Homan. Great. These are great people, by the way. I said, give me your top 10 things that you need, sir.
Donald Trump They'll never do it. Tokyo, a Center, the person in the state department, a woman who is really very good but she never won a battle with Mexico because they wouldn't do anything. Right? Because they, you know, They don't, listen to our people. So I said, no.
Donald Trump They'll do everything. Give me the top 10. So I took the top 10 things from everybody. Add them up. We took the top 10 things, all tough to get.
Donald Trump Like, remain in Mexico is tough. Right? You know, you don't remain here, you remain you gotta take a look at Tijuana Until Biden came in, he just let everybody flow right into the country. So it's so crazy. It's so crazy.
Donald Trump But I said, no. We'll get him. So he comes in. I said, listen. We need 28,000 soldiers just free of charge.
Donald Trump No. No. No. No. No.
Donald Trump No. No. We're not doing that. He looked at me like I was crazy. I said, no.
Donald Trump You're gonna do that. 100%. He goes, I said we're gonna need, remain in Mexico. In other words, everybody has to remain in Mexico. They can't come into the United States.
Donald Trump You gotta remain in your country. And then if we want them, we'll take them. And if we don't want them, they'll go back to their other no. No. No.
Donald Trump No. We won't do that. Then I said catch and release. We're gonna catch owned. We're gonna release him in your country.
Donald Trump No. No. No. I said, no. You'll do it.
Donald Trump No. You will. No. You sir, you don't understand me. I will not do that.
Donald Trump I will not. I said, no. No. Okay. You ready?
Donald Trump A 100% you're gonna do it. He didn't know what was going on. He didn't understand it. He said I won't do it. I said you're gonna do it.
Donald Trump And here's the story. If you don't do it, I have legislation in front of me that I had the right to sign. I'm gonna tax all of the cars that you stole from our country when you manufacture them. You know, they stole 32% of the manufacturing ability of the United States over the years. Not through me, Before me, every car coming across and every product coming across from Mexico into the United States is going to have a tariff of 25% on it.
Donald Trump And that's more money than all of this stuff that we're talking about put together. And he said, He's on like this. Can't campaign, you know. It's like a little choke little choke going on. But he said, may I have a few minutes to make a phone call?
Donald Trump I said, let me guess. You're calling the president. Right? Give him my regards, but Try and be back within 5 minutes. He comes back within 5 minutes.
Donald Trump He said, sir, it would be a great honor to supply you with 28,000 soldiers. It would be a great honor to have all these people, including the criminals, Remain in Mexico. We we would love to have that. That's just what we want. That's just what we did.
Donald Trump Gave me every single thing. And that person in the state department, a really nice woman but she wasn't Much of a negotiator, frankly. She said, I've never seen anything like it. I've been here for 25 years. I've never seen anything like it.
Donald Trump I got every single thing. Then when Biden came in, he gave away almost all of it. Right? Gave away all of it. It's, it's crazy.
Donald Trump And Rhonda's sanctimonious and Nikki Haley and All the rest of the pack will never do what it takes to secure the border. They'll never do what it takes to make our country great again. They're never gonna do it. I know them. I know them all very well.
Donald Trump They don't have what it takes. Nikki Haley has been in the pocket of the open borders establishment owned her entire career, and, she's a globalist, you know. She likes the globe. I like America first. The people in this room like America first.
Donald Trump And Nikki Haley's campaign is being funded by Biden donors. Did you know that? Biden owned. Because They're trying to get her, like, in particular here, we're doing so well. I think they've sort of given up.
Donald Trump Do you notice they're sort of like out of here? But, In New Hampshire, they have a lot of Biden donors and contributors, putting money into our campaign. That tells you, that should be enough to stop her right there. Well, she stopped. Hey, listen.
Donald Trump They had a poll last week. It was a classic. Just to show you how fake the media is. So the headline was, Haley surges. I said, uh-oh.
Donald Trump This is bad. I better read this little thing. So I went up 7 points to 74. Okay? I went up 7.
Donald Trump She went up 2 points owned Ronda Samtimonious went down 1. So instead of being down 2 Point. She was even with Ron DeSanctimonious now. So the headline and she was at 10. And he was at 10.
Donald Trump Either 10 or 11. I was at 72 or 74, and the headline was Haley surges. That's because it's fake. The media is fake. So anyway, we like these little quips.
Donald Trump You think they're on the teleprompter? You think Biden could tell you stories like that? He'd get lost. Can't find his way off the stage. Now think of it.
Donald Trump Do you think he ever goes off teleprompter? He's no good when he's reading the teleprompter. He read it today. He got all confused. He didn't know where the hell he was.
Donald Trump He's reading about he's saying that I'm a threat to democracy owned he had a hard time with it. She opposed my border wall, Nikki. She condemned my strong borders policy. And in 2016, she stabbed the Republican Party in the back siding with Barack Hussein Obama against a thing called the Trump travel ban, we didn't wanna have people from countries that hate us coming into our country. We don't want our shopping centers blown up, if it's okay with you.
Donald Trump We don't want our people, killed and decimated and Bombed and shot and everything else. So and it passed. It went through the supreme court. It just passed. And, you know, we had no, Terrorism problems in this country owned the whole world didn't have.
Donald Trump You know, I gotta tell you because he's a great man. He's actually a great leader. He's a very tough man. He's the toughest man in Europe. Of the top probably the toughest leader, maybe anywhere, Viktor Orban from Hungary.
Donald Trump Anybody hear of him? He's tough. But he's a very good man. But they asked him a election. What would you do if you were president Biden?
Donald Trump What would you do? What would you do? Because the whole world is blowing up. Israel, Ukraine, and Russia. The whole Middle East is just it's a counter It wasn't that way 3 years ago.
Donald Trump 3 years ago, everything was good. Iran was not gonna do anything. Nobody was. We're gonna get we're getting along with everybody. They knew.
Donald Trump North Korea is now acting up again, as you know, Kim Jong Un. But he liked me. The press hates when I say that I liked him. He like they hate it. They say it's terrible.
Donald Trump And that's not bad thing, you know. He's got a lot of nuclear weapons. It's nice if he likes you a little bit. He wouldn't return Obama's phone calls. He didn't wanna even meet with him.
Donald Trump But I they said, what would you do? And they really said I mean, Orban was incredible. He said, what I'd do is I'd resign from office immediately owned I'd say, Bring Trump in here to run because when he ran this world, we didn't have problems with Russia, with Ukraine, with Israel, with Iran, with China. We didn't have problems with anybody. They feared him.
Donald Trump Now he said they feared him. You know? He said they feared him. I don't wanna say that. That's him saying it because I don't wanna say they feared me, but they respected me owned they respected our country owned they feared our country.
Donald Trump But, he said they feared him owned they weren't gonna mess up, but still, we didn't have problems with anything. And we didn't have problems at the border. We had the most secure border we've ever everything was nice. And this guy coulda gone, you know, likes going to the beach. Somebody on his campaign said you look great in a bathing suit.
Donald Trump When, you know what is he? 82 or 81? Look, there aren't I look. I'm not that far behind, but I'm a 100% up here. I feel I'm better than I was 25 years ago.
Donald Trump I think I'd know it. I think I'd know it. I really maybe you'd maybe you know it, but you don't wanna know it. You know, that could be also I get but I think I'd know it, you know, when you say it's great to be in Idaho. Is that where we are?
Donald Trump The worst is when he said it's great to be in Florida, and he was here. There were no no palm trees here. Did they have palm trees here? Not too many. Right?
Donald Trump No. But I think it but but he said that. He said When Trump was president, the whole world was safe. There was nobody gonna play games. They feared him.
Donald Trump He said they feared him, But let's say they respected me, but they feared our country owned there were no problems. And we didn't have any, We had no problems with, Islamic people that wanna come in and blow the hell out of our cities. We had nothing. Now I didn't wanna say that when I was President, but, you know, we had gotten through 3 and a half years. And, I really wanted to say it, but I Didn't like the idea of saying it because in the next day, something happens.
Donald Trump I said, boy, do we look it happened to them. They would say, well, we're doing fairly well. They weren't doing great, but they were doing fair then Israel was attacked Following day. Right? You saw that.
Donald Trump They said, well, we're doing pretty well there too and we've been very nice. Well, they were so nice that, it's the worst Problem that Israel has had certainly, probably, possibly ever. We're gonna find out pretty soon because it's moving along rapidly. Owned the biggest problem is we have no leadership owned our side. We have no idea what we're doing.
Donald Trump We have no idea what to ask for. We have no leadership on our side. But Viktor Orban, most respected man, probably the toughest man in Europe, maybe beyond Europe. He made that statement. I was very honored by that statement because I'm only about Making our country great, saving our country, and I wanna help the world if possible.
Donald Trump If possible, we'll help the world. A lot of it you can do with a phone call. I mean, I can tell people on a phone. I can say you can't do that. You can do that.
Donald Trump I told it to, a very nice good friend of mine, The head of, you know, France, a nice they make nice champagne and wine. And they were gonna tax our campaign. Our Campaign were gonna be taxed very substantially in France. They were putting a big tax on American companies. And I had my people call up owned, say we're not gonna allow that to happen owned they didn't care.
Donald Trump Like, people spent 2 months at capable people, but they couldn't do it. And I said, let me do it. And I spoke to, Macron. Do you know Macron? He's a nice man.
Donald Trump He's actually a nice man, but he's for France, you know. I'm for the USA owned he's from France. And I said, Emmanuel, How are you? Oh, Donald, I am fine. Thank you so much.
Donald Trump It's such an honor to talk to you. Thank you very much. You might not like me so much after this call. I understand, Emmanuel, that you're going to be taxing American companies doing business in France. Oh, yes.
Donald Trump Yes. Yes. It's, that has passed. I'm so sorry to tell you but that has passed. I said, well, I don't think it's passed.
Donald Trump I really don't think it's passed. Or if it has, you can unpass it. Because if you don't take that tax of American you know, I wanna protect American companies. That means you and a lot of people. Why should they tax American companies?
Donald Trump I said if you don't take that tax off, I'm gonna tax at a 100%. I'm gonna tax every bottle of champagne and every bottle of wine that comes into the United States of France. And I know that's a soft spot for them. Right? That's like a soft spot.
Donald Trump And he goes, no. No. No. You cannot do that. That is not fair.
Donald Trump I said, that's okay. You got 5 minutes to tell me yes. And after that, I'm sorry. Calls me back in 5 minutes. We have agreed to do that.
Donald Trump We are taking off all of the I did that in about 4 minutes. Give you add it totally up. My guys, we're working on it for 2 and a half months and getting nowhere. But you can do a lot of things if you're president if you know If you know how to do it if you know how to do it and and I still remain friendly. I mean, you you don't have to Burn the bridges.
Donald Trump I mean, he respects it. They respect that more than some dope that doesn't know what's happening. You know? They respect you more. They like they almost like you more.
Donald Trump Know, they they came out all these guys, they like me. Boris called. He wants to come. They all wanna come see me. They like me.
Donald Trump Owned yet there's nobody been tougher like Russia. They all say, oh, Russia, Russia, Russia. I ended the Russian pipeline. It was called Nord Stream 2. That was the biggest thing they've ever done, and I ended it.
Donald Trump And Biden, his 1st day in office, approved it and let it be built, and I had it stopped. And Putin would say, you know, they say we're friendly and that you're nice to me. I'd hate like hell to See if you were not nice to me. Because think of it. I ended that.
Donald Trump I had tariffs owned I had all sorts of, things on Russian Russian citizens, But I got along with Putin. That's not a bad thing. But there's nobody he would tell you the historians will someday tell you there's nobody that's been tougher On Russia. And Russia would have never, as we said, would have never ever in a 1000000 years gone into Ukraine. That only started when I left.
Donald Trump Once I was out, all of a sudden they start forming. And I thought he was doing it for negotiation purposes, but and they could've had a deal, by the way. They could've had that could've been a deal. That that's a deal that Would have been easy to make. And instead of a deal that's now all those millions, I think.
Donald Trump I think the numbers are gonna be much greater than you're hearing. You know, when you see that They knocked down 9 buildings in a city in Ukraine owned 2 people were hurt. No. No. No.
Donald Trump Many People were killed. Many people were killed. I think when you see the real numbers, you're gonna see numbers that are shocking how bad they are. And that's something that would have been easy to done. Even without a deal, he wouldn't Because part of the reason he did it is Biden let energy prices, barrels of oil, go up so high that they made a fortune.
Donald Trump So They did it for that because he was making a it went over $100 a barrel. And at that, he could prosecute a war and make a fort he's the only guy that ever had a war and made an absolute fortune, and it shouldn't have happened. And this guy is always talking, you know, the Green New Deal and all this stuff. But in the meantime, he's allowed A lot of these countries that, let's say, they're not particularly friendly to us to make a fortune because the oil price went up so high. It's a shame.
Donald Trump The guy is grossly incompetent. What's happened is horrible because I had it at $40 a barrel. At $40 a barrel, he didn't have the money to Go in and fight Ukraine. At owned a barrel, the guy's making a fortune. So with Biden, you he keeps the oil price up, Owned it's very high now, but now he's gonna do something artificial to get it down for the election watch.
Donald Trump But as soon as the election's over, it's it's gonna be over for you. You know, he tapped into the strategic reserves that I had so much to do with bringing it up. And then, took it Almost down to the lowest point. It was down to the lowest point, they say, in history because he Center to keep gas prices low during that it wasn't meant for that, But he wanted to keep gas prices low so that the election would go owned you wouldn't have had to pay, you know, $9 A million. You pay 2 owned a half, $3 a gallon.
Donald Trump It's called artificial pricing. And he did that and, soon as it was over, it went Way up. Now it's still high, but it's coming down because, they're making all sorts of moves on other countries. We're getting oil now from Venezuela. We're getting oil now from Iran.
Donald Trump The people, I wouldn't let them buy from Iran. They're now sending us all. Can you believe it? The whole thing is crazy. Nikki Haley would sell you out, and Rhonda Santimonious would sell you out So quickly owned, they're gonna all grant amnesty to Biden's illegal aliens when Biden comes in.
Donald Trump And Sadly, the establishment losers and sell outs lagging far behind owned, and the Republican primary cannot be trusted on taxes, on trade or on anything else. You can't trust them in taxes. They wanna raise your taxes like crazy. They're globalist owned they always will be, and they always wanna take care of global countries. Is and somewhere along the line, they think that's good for us.
Donald Trump I think they probably believe it or they're or they're crooked, you know. Some are crooked. I really believe some are crooked. But, I think some probably believe it. They can't explain why because it doesn't make sense.
Donald Trump No. It's about America. It's about America first. We have to take care of our own country. We can help others, but we have to take care of our own country.
Donald Trump There's nothing you can do to change these people. They'll betray you just like they betrayed me. I mean, I told you the the sanctimonious. I got him elected. He went up like a rocket ship as soon as I pressed that little button.
Donald Trump Now it's truth. Truth is the best. Right? But is everybody on truth? I hope truth is the 1.
Donald Trump That's the 1. But at that time, there was no truth. It was, before. And I tweeted A little statement owned, he went up like a rocket ship. He went from getting killed.
Donald Trump He was dead. He was gonna leave the race To winning the race, just with 1 little press of a button, it's an amazing thing, isn't it? But there's never been anything like it from, you know, the standpoint of of, an endorsement, so he won. But, Nikki said she would have news conference. This is a great president.
Donald Trump I will never run against him. You've seen that. Have you seen Center clips? We have about 9 of them. There are a lot more than that, but we don't wanna bore you.
Donald Trump But no. I will never ever Even consider running against the president. He was a great president. Then a year and a half later, I've decided to run for the President. So great.
Donald Trump I don't know. There's something about a lot of these because I don't consider myself a politician. I consider myself like you. We're workers. We know how to But, you know and if she said she want to run, let her say it upfront.
Donald Trump Don't let her. Just play owned like that for years owned, you know, I never rode against the president. He's so good. And she actually said I was a great President. And I was a great president.
Donald Trump Look at all the things we did With against I love what they say. A lot of people say YouTube. You are. That's sort of cute. A lot of people don't understand what they mean by that.
Donald Trump But Iowa does not want politicians like Ron DeSanctis or Nikki Haley, who both support a 23% national sales tax, which is a disaster. You don't want politicians like Ron and Nikki, who both wanna gut Social Security and Medicare, hurt our seniors. And, you know, if you look at it, Ron voted 3 times to raise the retirement age on Social Security over 70, and Nikki would take the retirement age to Way, way higher than even the number that Ron is talking about. I don't know why they wanna do that. You know, we have so much wealth underground.
Donald Trump We have so much liquid gold, I call it underground. You don't need to do this. You don't have to destroy our senior citizens. When we drill, baby, drill, you're gonna we're gonna make so much money we'll be supplying the world. Unlike the sanctists and Nikki Haley, we'll always protect Social Security and Medicare for our seniors.
Donald Trump Just remember that when you have to vote, we're gonna although I think is there anybody in this room that's not going to vote for Trump? Just out of no. Don't raise your hand. It could be dangerous stuff. They're gonna say he incited an insurrection, these stupid bastards.
Donald Trump He incited an insurrection. No. But is there quietly raise your hand. Is there anybody here that's not gonna vote for Trump? That's very nice.
Donald Trump They're actually they're upset by even the question time. They're upset. They don't even like that question. Well, I appreciate it. But On my 1st day back in the White House, I will terminate every open borders policy of the Biden administration.
Donald Trump We'll stop the invasion on our southern border and begin the largest domestic deportation operation in American history. We have no choice. We have no choice. Not like we have a choice. I will shift massive portions of federal law enforcement and All of the people working on immigration.
Donald Trump You know, they're not even allowed to work. They sign people up owned they they brought into the inner sanctums of the country and just Leave the border open. They don't even want the border. How about where the governor of Texas who endorsed me Center, governor Abbott, which was a nice endorsement. He's become much more popular since he endorsed me, actually.
Donald Trump Buddy endorsed me owned, they're fighting because The federal government wants to cut the barbed wire. You need the barbed wire. They call it razor wire, but it's pretty tough stuff. But they have it along the Texas border so that because Texas is just being inundated. What what they're doing to Texas and Arizona is just horrible.
Donald Trump And they're in court now because, they they're cutting did you ever see them there with, splicers, they're cutting they're cutting sections. They want people to come they're cutting it. And the people are waiting to be led into the country. The whole thing is crazy owned, we're not gonna be doing that stuff. We're be we're gonna be bringing our country back.
Donald Trump You know, people say you're conservative. It's not a question of we're we're all I think everybody in this room is the same. We're people of common sense. Right? It's people of common sense.
Donald Trump Liberal, conservative. We're people of common sense. I mean, you gotta have borders owned you have to have honest elections owned everything else is sort of almost everything else is less important, but you have to have borders if you're gonna have a country. And you have to have you have to have Free and fair election, which we don't have. We have these mail in ballot things with 1,000 and hundreds of thousands owned areas are Center out, And we have no idea where the hell they're going and where they're coming from.
Donald Trump And many pay yeah. They got some of them go into the garbage. Yeah. They're especially if they're Republicans. They put him right into the garbage.
Donald Trump No. It's a shame. You'll never have a an honest election with a mail in ballot. Remember that. You never Jimmy Carter said it.
Donald Trump You know, they formed the Carter Commission. He was there with a couple of other respective Center, older Center. And they came up and the big Point of their report was never do mail in ballots because you'll never have an honest election. He said that a long time ago. And France just went to, Same day voting, all paper ballots, and voter ID.
Donald Trump And they had 36,000,000 people vote for Macron. Owned voted for Macron owned to bring him back, so he's not gonna be too upset. No. They voted for Macron. He won the election.
Donald Trump And by 10 o'clock in the evening, everybody went home owned They had a real election, you know. They have watermark paper now, which is very secure. They can't really produce it. You can you can't copy it. It's watermark because they'll try and cheat there too.
Donald Trump But, it's the best system there is. It's really the system that we started with when you get right down to it. But it's better because you have the paper technology is incredible what they can do. Will immediately restore and expand the Trump travel ban for those countries that are terror plagued owned they wanna come into our country owned hurt our people. We're not gonna let them come into our country.
Donald Trump They ended that. They want everybody to come in. Come on in, everybody. Come on in. Yes.
Donald Trump You killed 9 people, but we think you're gonna be much better now. Not 1 thing has gotten Center, if you think about it, under Crooked Joe Biden. The country's a mess. We're a laughingstock all over the world. Under the Trump administration, you were better off, your family was better off, your neighbors were better off, Your communities were better off and our country was better off.
Donald Trump The whole country was better off. America was stronger, richer, safer, and more President. Owned it's not even close. When I was behind the beautiful resolute desk at the Donald Office, and it is a beauty, I will say. It's no wonder the same corrupt forces that have been fighting us every step of the way are now breaking every rule and shattering every norm in a lawless attempt to keep us from Defeating them at the ballot box.
Donald Trump Nobody's ever seen what's happened right now. What's and it's a double edged sword. You know? It can happen the other way too. It never happened, the weaponization of justice like they're doing right now.
Donald Trump The DOJ is very corrupt. What they're doing is very corrupt. People aren't gonna take it. Joe Biden is a threat to democracy. He's weaponizing law enforcement for a high level election interference.
Donald Trump It's all about election interference. And I don't even know if it's him because I think he's grossly incompetent, but he's surrounded by people that are fascists and communists and they're vicious and they're very smart. For example, as I was landing for this visit, I was informed that the corrupt New York state attorney general, Leticia James, she's a corrupt person, Is now demand and New York is going so bad with the crime. It's like you can't even walk down to buy a loaf of bread. Letitia James, a real That 1 is now demanding that I pay $370,000,000 in penalties where I did absolutely nothing wrong.
Donald Trump My financial statements, you've been reading about it, are great. They're great. The man who did the check of the finish said 1 of the best financial statements I've ever seen. My financial statements are great, and they're very conservative. Just the exact opposite of what the highly political and Totally corrupt New York state attorney general was trying to say before she got to see my statements.
Donald Trump She ran for office on a I will get Trump. Did you ever see her? I will get Trump. I will get him. I'm gonna get him.
Donald Trump I'm gonna kill him. I'm gonna get Trump. If a Republican ever said that, that To have him put in jail for insurrection. She and the judge fraudulently valued Mar a Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, which is probably the greatest home in America by far, at $18,000,000. Million sounds like a lot, but it's not.
Donald Trump Because it was good for their narrative doing that when and it was fraudulent for them to do that, when in fact it's worth 50 to 100 times that amount. We had people come in a $1,000,000,000, a 1,000,000,000, 5, whatever, but it's a very valuable property. But they The judge said it was $18,000,000. Million people call up, I'll take 5. They never used the New York state statute.
Donald Trump They have a statute that they use. It's vicious. Vicious. They never used the statute for this before. I was not allowed a jury.
Donald Trump I had no jury. It's up to a judge who comes out of the clubhouses of New York. Think of that. How would you like to be in that position? There was no victim Because the banks made a lot of money.
Donald Trump Good great loans. The banks testified, in particular, 1 bank testified, great, great. Everything was great. There was no default. There was no damages.
Donald Trump There was no nothing. Only a very happy bank that got 100% of its money back, Owned in addition to getting its money back, made tremendous profits. This case should never have been brought. It should be in the commercial division. The rig judge would not let it go.
Donald Trump That he wouldn't allow it to leave his side. He took it owned usually it gets sent in because of its Complexity. Although it wasn't complex because it turned out to be very simple. The statement is phenomenal. They said the best statement he's ever seen Owned should have never been allowed to be presented to this judge.
Donald Trump It should have gone into the commercial division like all other cases like this, but he kept it. And he's a radical Trump hater. He hates Trump, like, with a passion. I guess, I don't know what it is. He has a passion for hating Trump.
Donald Trump Owned I should have never been gagged. They had a gag order. They wouldn't let me talk. I can't talk about certain very important things. Much more important than people understand, the judge ruled that I was guilty before he even started the case.
Donald Trump In fact, I got a call. Sir, you've been found guilty. I said, no. The case starts in 2 weeks, I know, but he found you guilty before the case starts. Other than that, it was an extremely fair case.
Donald Trump Now the corrupt AG Just announced a little while before I walked into the doors. So if you don't mind, I was a little bit angry when I walked owned you notice the anger? Maybe not. But, the corrupt AG wants 370,000,000 as a fee for what I did. And I did nothing wrong.
Donald Trump Nothing. 370,000,000, which is Much more than any loan. Much more. That was peanuts. This is weaponization at a level that nobody's ever seen.
Donald Trump So violence is out of control. People are fleeing New York. Businesses are fleeing New York. Car thefts are up a 191% Center New York, 191%. They should pay me.
Donald Trump But it's prosecutorial misconduct, and It's a DOJ witch hunt because it's in total coordination with Biden's deal. So they're charging me $370,000,000 fine for making a very small loan that the bank wanted to make because that's what they do. They loan money owned they love my statement. They like me. But I borrowed the money for that reason.
Donald Trump The bank wanted me to but, you know, they are in the business of loaning money. That's how they make money. It was a great loan for them. They got all their money. They they actually testified.
Donald Trump There was no default during the term of the loan. I actually paid the loan back early. It was a great loan. I'm very under leveraged. We have Great cash, great everything.
Donald Trump Built a great company. And these, fascists, what they're doing to our country is just Unbelievable. So I did nothing wrong. It was every in every way, it was like a perfect the bank was so happy. They testify.
Donald Trump No. Everything was good. Same thing with every other thing. They were looking at things. 370,000,000 for doing nothing wrong.
Donald Trump I took a owned. I paid the loan back, and they charged me 370,000,000, which I guess is more than 2 times the owned, something like that. But as a very intelligent person just stated on truth, New York AG Leticia James has decided to increase the amount she wants from Donald Trump in civil trial. Initially, she requested $250,000,000 million he did nothing wrong. Did nothing wrong.
Donald Trump They only wanna hurt us because they don't want us running for office. Because we're leading Biden, Crooked Joe, by a lot. And this is all this is. This is A terrible intrusion into politics and into our way of life. But now she wants $370,000,000 Million she wants it fast, and it's a disgrace.
Donald Trump I've never seen anything like it. I hope everyone can see this for what It really is. This is the gentleman writing. He goes he goes, this is nothing more than a shakedown of a leading candidate of her opposing political party. She thinks she's gonna make hay with Washington, but this is a coordination with the DOJ.
Donald Trump The DOJ is doing this case with them. In fact, they moved 1 of the top political operatives from the DOJ in Washington into the DA's office and into also the attorney general's office. How how would you like to be me? You think my life's a lot of fun? Our founding fathers would be turning in their graves if they could see this.
Donald Trump No American Americans should be okay with a political party being weaponized against their enemies. This is not democracy, he says. This is Not constitutional. This is wrong in every aspect, and the judge and the AG should be arrested and punished accordingly. Owned how much longer can we allow this to happen in our country?
Donald Trump And all of this is being done because we're beating them so badly at the polls. In the new morning console poll, we're trouncing the Republican primary field with Trump at 66, the sanctimonious at 11 and Hailey at 11. That's not bad. You know, we're beating, DeSantis in Florida. Poll just came out.
Donald Trump I'm at 88. He's at, like, 11 because the people got wise to him. He really I think he screwed up his career pretty good, I tell you, but he deserves it. We're also leading big here in Iowa, but, Again, take nothing for granted. We had the, Des Moines Register come out with a great poll recently.
Donald Trump They've never been really nice to me. They've always I've always been leading but, I'd I'd end up doing better. But they were respectful. Actually, it's a very professional pollster, The Des Moines Register, but it's amazing. I mean, the numbers have just been amazing in Iowa.
Donald Trump The numbers are amazing in New Hampshire. But, you know, polls are a little bit like a little bit like the media. They have polls that lie. Then 1 poll in New Hampshire is only leading by 6 or 7 points. You know, normally, you'd be happy, but We're leading by maybe 30 points or something, but that caused a big stir.
Donald Trump You know, everybody say, oh, Nikki's doing great, but, you know, it's crooked poll. In the general election, we're crushing Crooked Joe Biden by historic margins in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, in 2020 owned we're not going to allow them to rig the presidential election in 2024. Not gonna allow it to happen. It's a little hot. You know, this this room wasn't designed exactly for this medical.
Donald Trump I'm sitting up here, so I have 200 degrees in this dam. I'm trying to be cool, but if you don't mind, I'm gonna just do this a little bit. Every time the radical left Democrats, It's Marxists, communists, and fascists indict me. I consider it a great badge of honor. I've been and it's true.
Donald Trump It's true. I'm being indicted for you. I'm being indicted for you. Never forget, our enemies want to take away my freedom because I will never let them take away Your freedom, I'm not gonna let it happen. They wanna silence me because I will never let them silence you.
Donald Trump Owned in the end, they're not after me. They're after you owned I just happen to be standing in their way. But this is big stuff. This is far more than a campaign. This is the greatest political movement in the history of our country.
Donald Trump I look around, I see all the MAGA shirts owned Trump Trump and MAGA MAGA MAGA. Like that beautiful woman back there with her Trump sweatshirt. I like that sweatshirt a lot. But together, we ended the NAFTA disaster, the worst trade deal ever made, and replaced it with that great Greatest trade deal maybe ever made, USMCA owned all of you are beneficiaries. You get you were getting killed for decades with NAFTA.
Donald Trump Now you got know why I know it's good? Because Mexico and Canada are calling every single day. They wanna renegotiate the deal. They said, nope. The deal's no good for them.
Donald Trump That makes me feel good, you know? Because I'm negotiating for you. Because with NAFTA, they wouldn't they wouldn't let us negotiate anything. I took on communist China like no administration in history bringing 100 of 1,000,000,000 of dollars pouring into our treasury when no other president had gotten literally 10 Center from China. Not 1 president got a dime from China.
Donald Trump I then gave the farmers of our country $28,000,000,000 straight out of the tariffs I took from China, A large part of which came to a particular state known as Iowa. Have you heard of it? Have you heard of it? And just as I promised, I also stood up for Iowa ethanol. And I stood up Under a lot of great odds owned I did it I did it myself.
Donald Trump I didn't have a lot of help, I have to tell you, from some of your from some of your people. I didn't have a lot of help. I issued a historic rule declaring that e 15 would be made available all year owned, right, instead of the 8 months? And letting them use the existing pumps which saved 100 of 1,000,000 of dollars and created a lot of jobs that otherwise wouldn't have been created. I said, what's Center?
Donald Trump The older equipment or the new? And I'm not surprised to hear it. I hear it all the time. Well, the older pumps are much better. They're much stronger.
Donald Trump They made much better. I said, let's leave them. Right? Let's leave them. They're actually saying it's better.
Donald Trump Ron DeSantis spent his entire career as a raging opponent of ethanol. He will destroy ethanol. I will protect ethanol for 4 more years in the White House. And I think for Iowa, that's that's a big thing. Before I even arrive at the Donald Office, shortly after I win the presidency and we win the President, because we're gonna do it together.
Donald Trump It's it's we more than I. I will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine settled, absolutely settled, and we will restore peace through strength all over our planet. And I'm the only candidate who can make This promise and mean it. I will prevent Donald War 3. You are very close to a Donald War.
Donald Trump You know, You don't have to be into it too much to know. You just have to see what's going on. You are very close to a world war owned it would be most likely a nuclear war. And if it's a nuclear The award's obliteration. It's a a level of power that nobody's ever seen owned that nobody can even express and that family shouldn't even be talked about.
Donald Trump You know, we wouldn't talk about it in my administration owned nobody else did either outside owned other countries, but we wouldn't talk about it. Now every day they're talking about nuclear. Nuclear. Nuclear. Nuclear.
Donald Trump It's so devastating. It just don't talk about it. Don't talk about it. I will end Biden's inflation nightmare, save our nation from debt and economic despair, Owned we will right from day 1, we're gonna drill, drill, drill, drill, baby drill. Somebody said an million told me and he's a great guy, a very successful guy.
Donald Trump They say, He looks at a piece of owned. He takes a straw. Now it has to be a paper straw, so maybe it doesn't work. You know? You know, the paper Jewelers come wrapped in cellophane.
Donald Trump Do you ever see this? I mean, what's going on? You got paper straws, they're wrapped in cellophane. This country's gone wild. But This man, he's such such a great oil man, a really amazing guy.
Donald Trump He takes a straw owned he puts it into the ground owned oil comes out. The big companies go out. They spend million looking for oil. This guy looks just like this. Just a straw owned the oil comes out.
Donald Trump Now we we kid when I say that, but he's very good at finding oil. He's a fantastic guy. And, we know so much about the industry owned it's knowing through common sense, knowing through intelligence, knowing, You know, that's what's gonna fire up our factories. Wind is not. It's intermittent.
Donald Trump It's extremely expensive. It's 40 times more expensive. And, you know, we need stuff that's not expensive. China I see this guy John Kerry flying in his private jet to China To talk to them about coal. Please don't do it.
Donald Trump In the meantime, they're million 1 coal plant a week. And it's now I understand it's even 2. But talk to them about energy. Talk to them about and then he leaves. I think he leaves.
Donald Trump Oh, we had great conversations. In the meantime, they're building a plant a week. Owned, you know, remember this, the currents, both sea and air, they fly right over our country. You know that. The current the water comes down the Pacific Right out of China.
Donald Trump So when they dump their garbage in the Pacific, it comes right down along our coast on the on the West Coast past Los Angeles Owned, much of it pours onto our owned, but our waters are very dirty because they dump their garbage In the ocean owned about it's about a 4 or 5 day journey, the tides bring it by. Nobody ever talks about that. But the same thing with the air. When the coal spews out of their plant, when they when smoke snacks are roaring because they're big industry Owned that's what fires up big industry. We want clean coal.
Donald Trump We wanna take care of our miners. You know, they have clean coal. They have natural gas. It's fantastic. So much less expensive.
Donald Trump They don't want you to use it anymore. They want you to use things that don't work and that won't fire up. But when they fire up their plants Owned all of that pollution comes over the seas owned it comes right over our owned. And then they want us to have clean. I say, wait a minute.
Donald Trump We we're gonna be clean, but it's all flying. Just remember that. Does that make sense? In other words, it's all coming through the currents, through the air. It all comes.
Donald Trump You can they can name it. They can say family where it's going to be and when. And here we are, you know, working to try and compete with them. Owned they're using fossil fuel, and we're supposed to use wind. Wind.
Donald Trump And and by the way, you know who makes the windmills? China makes the windmills. Owned they say that if you're a big believer in this, that the pollution coming from the making of those massive steel structures is so great That you can never save on the environment because it's so great, if you're a believer in that. But they're made all in Germany and they're made in mostly in China. We're such fools, you know, we're such stupid fools.
Donald Trump We had a, very interesting time because in 20 16, I used to talk about the border because the border was bad, but nothing like it is today. But I think I won, maybe, on the border to a certain extent. And I did such a good job that in 2020, I couldn't talk about it. You know, they wouldn't let me talk about it. My people said, well, I don't wanna say like Biden.
Donald Trump They said, you know, what he says, they wouldn't let me. They can YouTube president. You can do whatever you want. But my people says it's not a good thing to talk about it because, sir, nobody cares about it. Because I did such a good job with the border that They said, nobody wants to hear it, sir.
Donald Trump They forgot. I did such a good job that it was no longer an issue, and that's okay. But now it's so bad. The border's a very big thing. I think the border's the economy and the border the and inflation, which is part of economy.
Donald Trump But, it's it's something we have to talk about. And if we don't straighten it out, we're not gonna have a country. We're not gonna have a country. So I think the number will be more than 15,000,000 by the end of their crazy term. And if that's the case, that's bigger than New York State, Owned many of these people should not be in our country.
Donald Trump On day 1, I will also cancel Crooked Joe Biden's insane ethanol killing Election vehicle mandate. I mean, the problem is a very simple, you know, simple statement. They don't they don't go far. I'd like to make it much more complex. It sounds like, you know, science.
Donald Trump You know, they don't go far. The batteries are too big. They're very big, very heavy. Dangerous. I just picked up a new point, in cold weather.
Donald Trump They're really bad. Dangerous owned very cold weather. So You get pretty cold weather up here. I can tell you from my little 12 foot walk outside of the car. But in cold weather and, you know, they're very expensive to make.
Donald Trump And they're all gonna be made in China because they have the materials for that. They can all be made in China, so the auto workers are gonna be screwed by this this guy. But, you know, now they want you probably heard also. They want trucks to be all electric. And if you take, like, a Peterbilt, take the big 18 wheelers, whatever they are, You can go from 1 side, the East Coast to the West Coast, on 1 big beautiful tank of diesel fuel without a stop.
Donald Trump They can go 2,000 miles, and we can go with electric. They can go I think I heard You'll go, if you're lucky, 300 miles. So that would mean they'd have to do 7 stops. You talk about a supply chain problem. Owned I met with some of the big, big trucking campaign.
Donald Trump And it took me about a minute to understand this because, you know, it, was supposed to be fast studies if you're president. We have 1 that's a very Slow study. But it wouldn't matter because they must know this. And they explained 1 man said to me, a big guy, 1 of the biggest guys in the business, he said, you know, For 50 years, I've been in the business. And every year, the trucks got better and better, faster, stronger, More beautiful.
Donald Trump Every year, they made them better. Even the quarters behind us said, tell me about what is it like in 1 of those suckers? They said, sir, it's like the most beautiful you've ever do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah. They have, like, a place where they literally live.
Donald Trump They live in those trucks. Those trucks are everything to them. But he said for 50 years, every single year, these trucks got better, more fuel efficient. Everything was better. It's a beautiful thing.
Donald Trump If they make us go to electric, we will go back. 50 years, we'll be starting all over. It'll be primitive. We'll be starting all over, and it made a a big impact on me. It's a very sad thing what's happening, and they don't wanna hear about it.
Donald Trump They want our army tanks to be all electric so that we So now think of it. Now the problem is there, they don't go far again, but the battery is so big that you'd have to pull a truck behind them. It's true. They actually have a design the army tank owned it's pulling like this because the batteries are massive. Like the trucking thing too.
Donald Trump In the truck, About half of its capacity would be devoted to a battery. Can you imagine? So can you imagine? And yet, they explained this to the people in the administration. They don't care.
Donald Trump They don't care. They really don't care. The army tank is a beauty. They want to be environmentally friendly as we go in and blast the crap out of some nation. You know, we're gonna go in.
Donald Trump We're gonna be environmentally Friendly as we blast that our way through their front lines, but we're doing it in an environmentally friendly manner. How crazy are we? They have jets now. And I ended it, but they I'm sure they picked it up. They said, sir, we have a fuel that is unbelievably good in terms of the environment.
Donald Trump These are Fighter jets. Right? That I bought about I bought I re I rebuilt our entire military. The entire military is rebuilt. They had jets who were 55 years old.
Donald Trump We had fighter jets that were 55 years old. China copied our most beautiful plane ever made, I think, is the F 22. Check it out. China has a copy of it. I looked that's an f 22.
Donald Trump But what does that have the China flag on it? But it's an f 22. They copied it. Most beautiful plane you've ever seen, but now they wanna go in a form. It's a biofuel.
Donald Trump But I said, give me the downside. Well, sir, the downside is just 15% less efficient. That's the difference between shooting down and being shut down. Right? 15% less efficient.
Donald Trump So why are you trying to protect? As you fly into an area that you want to obliterate, You wanna do it in a environmentally friendly way? These people are crazy, and we're not gonna stand for it. And all of that stuff is gonna be written out On day 1, it's all going out. You know the steps when you make your speech in front of millions of people owned you're making the beautiful speech looking down to the white?
Donald Trump That was 1 of the great scenes I've ever seen. By the way, I think j 6 had an equal amount of people. It's the biggest crowd I believe I ever spoke to. You never hear about that, you you have the hostages? The j 6 hostages, I call them.
Donald Trump Nobody's been treated ever in history so badly as those people. Nobody's ever been treated in our country. But I think that, you know, they always show whatever it was, a owned people coming down. Remember the words march peacefully and patriotically. Right?
Donald Trump March peacefully. You ever hear Maxine Waters? You ever hear her say about what to do with Republicans? Kill them. Go in there.
Donald Trump If they're having lunch, go in there. Owned If I can you imagine if I said that no. I said peacefully and patriotically. The whole thing is just very unfair, but those j 6 hostages Going to jail for 20 years owned 18 years and 12 doctors, lawyers, carpenters, electricians, Truck drivers, it's it's 1 of the saddest things. It'll go down as 1 of the saddest things in the history of our country, Owned they went there to protest a rigged election.
Donald Trump And now when the facts are in, they now they see it is a rigged election. You saw the numbers come out last week. It was a rigged election. Owned those people have to be many of them. I guess there's some.
Donald Trump By the way, there was Antifa Owned there was FBI. There were a lot of other people there too leading the charge leading the charge. You saw the same people that I did. But just as I did before, I'll appoint strong highly qualified pro constitution Supreme Court justices who will interpret the law as written. And I hope they do that.
Donald Trump We have, some big things going in there. I just saw the Supreme Court just I came, I got some beauties today. I had the 1 owned then I had the other. Supreme Court, is taking the case from Colorado. And so they'll make a decision.
Donald Trump And owned know what? I I do find and, you know, maybe say it, maybe don't, but I say it. A Democrat judge appointed by, let's say, Obama, they're Donald there they say, we're appointed. That's the end. When you are a Republican judge and you're appointed by, let's say, Trump, they go out of their way to hurt you So that they can show that they have been fair fair, honorable people.
Donald Trump It's an amazing difference. I've never seen anything like it. You appoint some of these radical left Democrats owned they've right from the beginning, you say we're dead. Owned the Republican judges wanna go out of their way to be fair and unbiased owned even to a point where they hurt you. Owned I guess, it's a different wiring system or something, but all I want is fair.
Donald Trump I fought really hard to get 3 very, very good people and they're great people, very smart people. And I just hope that they're going to be fair because, you know, the other side plays the ref, Like Bobby Knight. The great Bobby Knight. He played the ref, you know. He'd throw chairs.
Donald Trump He'd smack people. He'd do everything. And They'd say, Bobby, stop it. Stop it, Bobby. He was a great friend of mine.
Donald Trump He endorsed me in Indiana. He just passed away. He was a tough guy. Big tough guy. He was great, but he was a winner.
Donald Trump He knew how to win. He had the last undefeated team in basketball. I guess he won 3 world 3 national championships. He was Without really the great great player, you know. He had teams owned, Bobby would scream at the refs.
Donald Trump He'd scream owned his people say, Bobby, stop it. Stop it. Stop it, Bobby. You're not gonna win. He said, yeah.
Donald Trump But I'm gonna win on the next 1. So what they do is, I watch him on Deface the nation this weekend. Ladies and gentlemen, is Donald Trump on? Deface the nation. They hate it when I say that, but it's Center true.
Donald Trump And, they're saying, oh, Trump owns the Supreme Court. He owns it. He owns it. If they make a decision for him, It will be terrible. It'll ruin their reputations.
Donald Trump He owns the Supreme Court. He put on 3 judges. He owns the Supreme Court. If they rule in his favor, it will be horrible for them owned will protest at their houses owned will do all of the things that YouTube. And that puts pressure on people to do the wrong thing.
Donald Trump What they're doing is no different than Bobby Knight. They're playing the ref. I watched that. I said, man, They're really good. They're really good at it.
Donald Trump And I just hope we get fair treatment, because if we don't, our country's in big, big trouble. Does everybody understand what I'm saying? I think so. Because they'll cover that completely differently. They'll cover that in a much Different manner, but I'm just saying it's a very unfair situation that takes place.
Donald Trump So I will direct a completely overhauled DOJ to investigate every radical out of control prosecutor in America for their illegal racist enforcement of the law. Owned I'm also going to indemnify all police officers and law enforcement officials throughout the United States to protect them from being destroyed by the radical left for taking strong actions on crime. We're gonna protect our police. They're afraid to do anything. They're told not to do anything when they walk into a department store in Chicago.
Donald Trump And they walk out carrying television sets and everything else, and the police, they wanna do some, but they're told not to do it. Owned then if they do it, they get in trouble. We are going to indemnify them. They have to stop crime, and they can stop it too. They'll do a great job.
Donald Trump We're going to rebuild our cities into beacons of hope, safety, and beauty better than ever before. We're gonna rebuild our cities. Our cities are in trouble owned we'll work with Democrat Mayors and governors, if we have to, but we will. Now we will. Look, they are all run by Democrats And they are all just about in horrible shape.
Donald Trump Safety will again be restored so that children can go outside and play in the park without being beat up, molested, or shot. Is that okay? Even if you're in Iowa, you like that 1. Right? You know.
Donald Trump Because what's happened to our cities, you have to see. You wouldn't even they're not even recognizable. You know, San Francisco I own a big building in San Francisco. And San Francisco was a, magnificent city 10, 12, 15 years ago. And today, you look at what's happened to San Francisco.
Donald Trump It's so sad to See it? But all of them, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, all of them. They're all run by Democrats. We're also going to fight to give your much better health care. We wanna give you much better health care than Obamacare.
Donald Trump Now look, I'm not you know, they like to cover that. I'm gonna We're gonna give you Obamacare is a disaster. It's very expensive for you. Forget about for the country for a second. For you, it's a horror show.
Donald Trump There have been tremendous complaints over the last 2 years, especially recently. We're going to get you much better health care at a lower price for you, Owned that will be either working on Obamacare or doing something new. But we're gonna give you much better because you have lousy health care and it's too expensive. On day 1, I will sign a new executive order to cut Federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory transgender in Saturday. And other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content onto our children.
Donald Trump I will not give 1 penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or mask mandate. And who believes I have to say this? But I do, and I will keep men out of women's sports. I will fully uphold the 2nd amendment. We will protect innocent life owned we will restore free speech Owned I will secure our elections.
Donald Trump Our goal will be 1 day voting with paper ballots and voter ID. That's our goal. Owned every republican governor should do that right now. There's no reason to wait. These republican governors that don't do it, they're not on our side.
Donald Trump But until then, republicans have To win if you took all of these things that I'm saying, there has never been anything like what's happening to our country right now. Joe Biden has been a disaster. He's the worst president we've ever had. He's the most incompetent owned he's the most corrupt president. So if you wanna save America from Crooked Joe Biden, then get every patriot you know.
