0:00
great again. So together we had 12 months of unprecedented success in 2025
0:06
and now we're going to make history and break records with the epic midterm victory that we're going to pull off. It
0:12
just doesn't seem to happen for people that win the presidency. Uh it's an amazing phenomena. You know,
0:19
you win the presidency and we sure as hell are having a successful presidency. I will say that.
0:27
But even if it's a successful presidency, and it's been nothing like what we're doing. We had a very good day
0:34
two days ago, too. But even if it's successful, they don't win. I don't know
0:40
what it is. There's something psychological like you vote against. You can win by a lot. We won every swing
0:45
state. We won the popular vote by millions. We won everything. But they say that when you win the presidency,
0:51
you lose the midterm. So, you're all brilliant people. Most of you are in this business longer than me. That makes
0:58
me smarter than you because look where I am, right? No, it doesn't. But I wish
1:04
you could uh explain to me what the hell's going on with the mind of the public because we have a we have the
1:11
right policy. They don't. They have horrible policy. They do stick together. They're violent. They're vicious, you
1:17
know. They're vicious people and they stick together like glue. They don't
1:22
have a couple of the people that we have. Uh couple of people, not too many,
1:28
really very few. And that's why I want to just say that before we go any further, I want to express our
1:34
tremendous sorrow at the loss of a great member, great great member, Congressman
1:39
Doug Lamala, who passed away yesterday, as you probably have heard. And uh he
1:47
was the leader of the western caucus, a fierce champion on California water
1:52
issues. He was great on water. He wanted release the water. He'd scream at him
1:57
and a true defender of American children. He was a defender of everybody. And our hearts go out to his
2:04
wife Jill and his entire family. You know, he voted with me 100% of the time.
2:09
And by the way, he wasn't a 3:00 in the morning person. Do you know what I mean by that? where the speaker goes, "Sir,
2:15
could you call up? Could you call?" I said, "What time is it, speaker?" Sir, it's three in the morning. Could you
2:21
make a couple of calls? How many? Nine. So, I'd start calling. I'd start
2:28
calling. 3:00 in the morning. I said, like, I shouldn't use any names. I'm
2:33
just going to create problems. But, hi, Jim. And I'm not talking about Jim Jordan here. Never had a call 3 in the
2:40
morning for him. But I say, "Hi, Jim. How you doing?" I just called to say,
2:45
"Hello, you know, 3." Okay, sir. Sir, you haven't spoken to me in three years, and it's now 3:00 in the morning, so I
2:52
know what you want. You want my vote? And usually they almost always they give it, but they wanted to be called. And
3:00
with Doug, I never had to call. He was with us right from the beginning. I love those guys. I must say, I probably love
3:06
them the best. You know, the guys that I don't have to call. They know we're doing the right thing. I have a couple
3:12
that are going to be with us all the way, but they just want the call. They want love. They need love. They're more
3:18
insecure than a lot. Most of you. It's true. No, most of you are secure people.
3:25
They're all laughing. No, most of you are secure people. I had a couple say, "Look, I could have Trump call me all
3:31
the time. I just have to break his ass a little bit and he'll be calling, calling, calling." But I appreciate
3:37
those. We actually had a little party. We opened up a beautiful section of the White House in the Rose Garden and we had a party for all of those people that
3:44
I never speak to and vote vote for me and you know I spoke to Doug but I didn't speak to him about I mean never
3:51
had a problem and I was really uh I was really saddened by his passing and was
3:58
thinking about not even doing the speech in his honor but then I decided that I
4:03
have to do it in his honor. I'll do it in his honor because uh he would have wanted it that way. He would have wanted
4:10
it that way. He would have said do that speech. Are you Are you kidding me? Do the speech.
4:16
Big guy, but he was a fantastic person. Man, that that was a quick one. I don't
4:21
know. I don't know quite yet what happened, but boy, it's a tough one. He was he was just with us. He was our
4:27
friend, all of us, every one of us. And I also want to send our best wishes to Congressman Jim Baird and his wife who
4:34
are recovering from a car accident. They're going to be okay, but they had a pretty bad accident. And we're praying
4:40
that they get out of that hospital very quickly. He's going to be fine. She's going to be fine. But uh it was a bad accident.
4:47
And I want to thank the the man who has been central to so many of
4:54
our triumphs. He really has been. He's the guy that would call me to make those calls all the time. He's always working
5:00
and he's a nice person, you know. He's a very nice he's a high quality person. But I want to tell he's a very tough
5:07
cookie. I've seen both sides. Not often do I have to see the other side because he's just by nature. He's a very fine
5:15
religious. I like that. He's a religious person. I like that. I like religious
5:20
people. It usually means they're more honest. Sometimes it doesn't happen that way. I've had the I've had some real
5:26
religious ones that did numbers on me and I said I'm going to get them someday.
5:32
They got me by surprise, but it's usually good. Okay. Right.
5:37
And uh his name is Mike Johnson. Speaker Mike Johnson.
5:51
He has my complete and total endorsement. stand up speaker.
6:00
So, you know, but it is true. Uh, a lot of times they'll say, "I wish Mike was
6:05
tougher." Tough. He's tough. He's tough as anybody in the room, actually. But can't be tough when you have a majority
6:11
of three. And now, sadly, a little bit less than that. I mean, a little bit less than that, maybe. But, uh, you
6:19
can't be can't be Trump. You can't. I warned you. You know, you make 10
6:25
enemies, 20 enemies, that's the end of that, right? Everybody loves him. I would say there's one person he's given
6:31
up on. I I mean, I think it's just he just gave up on this guy. He's so bad. He never votes for us. But, uh, no
6:38
matter how good, he won't vote for us. There's a sickness there. You know, there's something wrong. You can have
6:44
the greatest bill, the greatest for the country. Forget about for Republicans. Great, great, great for the country.
6:52
I'm a no vote. We don't even bother calling him at 3 in the morning, do we?
6:58
But I uh want to thank another guy who's as tough as they come because he went
7:03
through something that none of us have gone through. I went through a little shot, but I get that throbbing feeling
7:10
every once in a while, but what he went through was incredible. And that Steve Scaliz, he got hit hard. Where's Steve?
7:17
Steve
7:23
He's a tough cookie. He was dead. I went to the hospital. His
7:29
wife was crying so much. He was a mess. Oh yeah. Yeah. She loves you. That's the
7:34
only thing I learned about Steve that he has a wife who loves him. Because I've gone to hospitals where guys are in bad
7:39
shape and the wife couldn't care less. She's waiting. She's looking for the next guy. Who's the next guy down the
7:45
pike? Who the hell is the next guy? He's dying. And I said, "That's so bad." Oh, yeah. Yeah. I had one where the dog died
7:52
and the husband died at the same time. I said, "It's so sad." Yes. I love this
7:58
dog so much. She couldn't give it. And the guy left her a fortune. Can you imagine?
8:04
He shouldn't have left her anything, but she was much more concerned. Still, oh, the dog was devastated. The husband, he
8:10
was he was like an afterthought. Your wife loves you, Steve. She's a great wife. Another one who has a great wife.
8:19
Jackie is Tom Emmer. Right. Tom, look at you. You have a great wife. But you haven't been tested like these guys. You
8:27
have We don't want to We don't want to test her, right? She's incredible. She's a strong,
8:34
beautiful, great person. She's a great person. She actually liked me at the beginning when we were having little
8:41
fights. We weren't even having fights. We just didn't know each other. We didn't know each other. And I heard he
8:46
said something negative about he was sort of right about the subject but you're not supposed to say ever even
8:52
though you're right but Jackie was sign I'm telling you he's a great guy he's
8:57
good he's going to be a great president blah blah blah she was fighting for me and now I love this guy he's great
9:03
Jackie is right about she was right about both of us I think right but Tom has uh been incredible he's incredible
9:10
at what he does he's a great team player your conference chair Lisa Lisa Mlan is
9:17
so strong and powerful and beautiful. Thank you, Lisa.
9:23
Thank you. Thank you. And I think they're broadcast, you know,
9:30
we said we don't care if the press comes or not. So when I say that, that means that they're they're broadcasting all
9:35
this. And I'm I'm letting my feelings out because it's true. I feel that way about so many people in the room. I
9:40
could say it about many of the people in the room. Some I don't know as well, but many of the people in the room, they're
9:46
incredible people. You're incredible what you're doing. We also have another one, Richard
9:52
Hudson, chairman, NRCC. Richard's always in there,
10:00
always with a smile, no matter what's happening. Richard,
10:06
he always has a smile. He's always a just a positive guy. Smart and positive.
10:12
Thank you, Richard. really appreciate it. You do a great job. Republican Policy Committee Chairman Kevin Hearn.
10:20
Kevin, where are you? Kevin,
10:25
thank you. Kevin, thank you. Did a great job. Every one of
10:31
you, you got to be proud of yourselves and basically the entire House Republican Conference. It's been uh
10:39
really amazing what you've done. and we're going to give you some ammunition today. I said, uh, I'd love to make a
10:45
speech to Speaker asked me, would you make a speech? I said, sure. You think Biden would do that? Would you make a
10:51
speech? What? First of all, people wouldn't ask him to make a speech because it never worked out well, right?
10:57
Could never find the exits. You finished. Look, stare here, stare
11:03
there, stair here. You could jump off the front if you had to. No matter what he did, he got himself
11:10
into trouble. So basically, they didn't ask him to, but if he did, it wouldn't be good. But it's good with me because,
11:17
you know, we have so much ammunition. We have ammunition. The problem is the
11:22
fake news. That's why I like being on. I'd much rather do live television than do uh non-live because like uh when they
11:30
say as an example in my speech peacefully and patriotically
11:36
to the capital peacefully and patriotically do you know that the unselect committee
11:42
didn't report it that I said those words. Do you know that the news never reported the words
11:49
walk or march peacefully and patriotically to the capital? Do you know they never reported it? It's a
11:55
scandal. The UN select committee never reported that. They never reported that
12:01
Nancy Pelosi was offered 10,000 soldiers. National Guard soldiers,
12:08
whatever you want. No, I don't want them. And the mayor, the mayors were in writing. She was more honorable about
12:13
it. But Nancy got caught when her daughter did a documentary. She's a documentary. Yes.
12:20
And uh she has her mother saying, "It's my fault. I should have taken the soldiers
12:26
or something." I saw that in the docu. I said, "Whoa, this was a major story."
12:33
Has she spoken to her daughter since then? You know, but we but they just,
12:38
you know, they are vicious people even uh on the attack
12:44
and it was an amazing military feat that took place yesterday. Think of it.
12:50
our amazing military. The people are saying, "Well, thank
12:56
you."
13:05
You know, people are saying it's it goes down with one of the most incred
13:13
boots on the ground. We had a lot of boots on the ground, but it was amazing. and think of it, nobody was killed. And
13:19
on the other side, a lot of people were killed. Unfortunately, I say that soldiers, Cubans, mostly Cubans, but
13:25
many, many killed. And they were, they knew we were coming and they were protected. And our guys weren't. You
13:32
know, our guys are jumping out of helicopters and, you know, protected. And they were, but it was so brilliant.
13:38
The electricity for almost the entire country was boom, turned off. That's
13:44
when they knew there was a problem. There was no electricity. Caracus said there's no electric. It's not a The only
13:51
people with lights were the people that had candles. It was just off. So, we
13:56
sort of got him a little by surprise. But it was a brilliant. It was brilliant. Tactically, it was an
14:02
incredible thing. But I watched where Schumer, he's such a bad guy. I mean,
14:08
I've known the guy for a long time and he's such a bad guy.
14:13
You know, at some point they should say, you know, you did a great job. Thank you. Congratulations. Wouldn't it be
14:18
good? I would say that if they did a good job, their philosophies are so different, but if they did a good job,
14:24
I'd be happy for the country. They've been after this guy for years and years and years. And uh you know, he's a
14:31
violent guy. He gets up there and he tries to imitate my dance a little bit,
14:38
but he's a violent guy and he's killed millions of people. He's tortured, they
14:43
have a torture chamber in the middle of Caracus that they're closing up. But
14:49
he's tortured people and and now what they do, the radical left, they actually have people and it's hard to get them.
14:56
They're all paid people. Most of these people are paid. You know they're paid when they have brand new beautiful printed signs by like the highest
15:02
quality printer in and you have a woman free Maduro and the sign is before we
15:10
even did the attack. Free Maduro. Why do you want him freed?
15:16
I don't know. But he should be free. Oh, she reads the sign. What does that say?
15:22
It says free. Well, that's what I believe. And you know, you see the sign. It's like, Lisa, we should all have
15:27
quality signage like that. The one thing I want, I want their sign maker. The guy is great. He does beautiful signage. You
15:34
know, the old days was better when they used to write out their own sign, wasn't it? They'd make a sign in the basement.
15:40
They'd have an old broken board holding up a sign and it's made with a magic marker, sloppy as hell, and it meant
15:46
something. But today, when you have that yellow and black, they should use different colors a little bit, but the
15:51
yellow is a beautiful shade of yellow. No, I want to find out who that is. I
15:58
want him to work for the Republican campaign. He's much better than our guy, whoever the guy is.
16:05
But the United States proved once again that we have the most powerful, most lethal, most sophisticated, and most
16:13
fearsome. It's a fearsome military on planet Earth. And it's not even close. And I've been saying it for a long time.
16:20
Nobody can take us. Nobody. We don't want to have it. We don't have a discussion, but you read all and you see
16:26
everything else. Nobody could have done that. Nobody has our weapons. Nobody has the quality of our weapons. The problem
16:31
is we don't produce them fast enough. We're going to start producing them much faster. We're going to be very tough on the companies. We have the best weapons
16:38
in the world, but it takes too long to get them, including allies. When allies want to buy them, they have to wait four
16:43
years for a plane, five years for a helicopter. We're not letting that happen anymore. We're telling our
16:48
defense contractors, you're going to start building faster. You know, guy makes
16:54
I have a big problem with it. I'm the king. I I have sold more Boeings than any human being on earth. They gave me
16:59
award salesman of the year. I said, "What about salesman of the in the history of Boeing? I've sold more Boeing
17:05
planes than any man in history by by far probably over a thousand over a thousand
17:11
planes." I said, "That's the good news." But why should they wait three four years to get a plane? They should build them get them immediately. The F-35s, it
17:17
takes too long to get them. the Apache helicopter. I mean, I had India coming to me. Sir,
17:24
I've been waiting five years. We're changing it. We're changing it. India ordered 68 Apaches
17:30
and Prime Minister Modi came to see me. Sir, may I see you, please? Yes. I have
17:36
a very good relationship with him. He's not that happy with me because, you know, they're paying a lot of tariffs
17:41
now because they're not doing the oil. But they are. They've now reduced it very substantially, as you know, from Russia. We're getting rich because of
17:48
tariffs, by the way. I hope everyone understands that. They hate to report. We're going to have over $650
17:55
billion dollars poured into our country or coming in shortly because of tariffs.
18:00
You know, they're they're finding all of these pockets of money a couple of weeks ago. Sir, we're uh off by 39 billion
18:10
dollars. Oh, is that good or bad? Meaning, do we have it or are we short
18:15
of it? Sir, it's uh 39 billion that we can't account for.
18:20
That means we have an extra 39. Yes, sir. I said, well, what are you saying? We
18:27
just don't know where it came from. I said, check the tariff shelf.
18:33
Sir, that tariff doesn't start until September. Said, no, no, it started
18:38
about a month and a half ago. Check it. Comes back 25 minutes later. Sir, you
18:44
were right. that came from tariffs. This never happened to us before where we
18:49
find plus 39 billion not million plus 39 billion.
18:55
They were missing we've taken in $650 billion or shortcoming and and that's
19:01
because I'm being nice if I want to be and we have national security because of
19:06
tariffs and frankly we have a big Supreme Court case. I hope they do what's good for our country. I hope they do the right thing. We're the president
19:13
has to be able to wheel and deal with tariffs. And now if you have the right president, it's good.
19:19
You have the wrong president, you know, if you have the wrong president, nothing's good. Tariffs are the least of
19:24
your problems. We found that out for four years. We had the worst president. Did the worst job. They had the worst
19:30
policy. Yeah. We have to even run against these people. Now, I won't say cancel the election. They should cancel
19:36
the election because the fake news will say he wants the elections canled. He's a dictator. They always call me a
19:42
dictator. Who? Nobody's worse than Obama and the people that surrounded Biden.
19:47
Not Biden. I don't think it was Biden. He didn't know what the hell was going on. Okay. The election was rigged. He
19:52
had no in he had no idea what happened. He still doesn't. The autopen. And by
19:58
the way, you would make a big deal out of the autopen. The autopen was your president
20:04
because most of the things were signed by autopen. And you're not allowed to do that. I I
20:10
signed very little. Now I just sign everything because it's just so crazy. But you know, like I had the other day,
20:16
uh, we elevated a general to four stars. I think you should sign that. You know, that's a big deal. A general did a great
20:23
job. Was elevated to four stars. And I had the gentleman and I signed it in front of him, held it up. You know, you
20:30
got to sign it. You can't give it to an auto pen. And you can always tell an auto pen. One thing, it has two little tiny dots. You know that? Two little
20:37
dots. You know what that's from? two pins, they go bing bing. They're wonderful
20:44
things, but you got to sign it. And the law is you have to sign it. If
20:49
somebody's, you know, telling the autopen person, he has to be authorized by the president of the United States.
20:55
Well, he wasn't. The guy barely knew the president. How many times did you just speak to the president, right? He said
21:01
two. And they just spoke about the weather. It was like this. But he was never authorized to sign. And I think
21:08
it's what is it 95% of the things were signed by autopen. You can tell because the autopen is a nice clean signature
21:15
and his signature is a mess. The only thing he signed was which is nice was
21:20
Hunter's pardon. That would No, that's the only thing that we could find that he signed. Most of it he didn't sign. So
21:27
somebody's sending papers to sign and uh he wasn't the president. He first
21:33
of all the election was rigged. You ought to have voter ID. You ought to insist on it. You ought to insist on it.
21:40
Can you imagine? In California, they not only don't have
21:46
voter ID, but if an official at the voting booths, which they don't have, by the way, because it's all male, if an
21:51
official, a voting official, even asks somebody for voter ID, sir, I'd like to
21:59
see your identification. Uh, do you come from our country? They put him in jail for tampering with the
22:07
election. Okay, we got to straighten this out before it gets too crazy.
22:13
California is more corrupt than any place. California is more corrupt than Minnesota. And I want Minnesota. Well,
22:21
Tom's going, I think so. Well, it's can't be proportionately
22:26
probably nothing's more corrupt. Yeah, right. You got He says you got to win. I'll tell you what, I did great
22:33
there three times. I was surprised three times. That's those elections are corrupt. They got you one time, too. But
22:40
I heard a long time ago, but they got you. But uh they got to straighten those out. But we have to have voter ID. And
22:47
you know, when you confront a Democrat about voter ID, like in a debate or
22:53
something, I said it a couple of times with Biden. It's just one. They're very embarrassed when they say we want voter
23:02
ID, voter identification. There's the only reason somebody doesn't
23:07
want that is because they want to cheat. Our elections are crooked as hell. And you can win not only win elections over
23:14
that and not only win future elections, but you'll win every debate because the public is really angry about it. And you
23:21
ought to you ought to pass the safe act or whatever you're going to call is are we going to save act or the save America
23:28
act? I think we're going to change the name a little bit. You're going to put that up for a vote. I think everybody in this room certainly should do it. And
23:35
it's a bad vote for them because they're voting against things like voter ID and other things that are almost equal to
23:41
voter ID. But when somebody says no, we don't want voter ID, that means they're crooked and the public understands it.
23:47
You win elections with that. But I think it would be really important Save America Act if you would put that up for
23:54
a vote. It's got my total endorsement and all it is is common sense things about the election and they'll fight it
24:01
like crazy because they cheat. That's the only way they can win. When you have policy so bad, when you have policy with
24:07
uh men and women's sports, men and women's sports and they fight like hell
24:13
for it. They still are. I saw the other day a person that you know very well, congressman was fighting like hell
24:20
and you know I was uh out the other day with somebody and I was with an ex- football player. The guy was massive.
24:26
His leg was like this and a young woman who plays flag football and she's very
24:32
good supposedly as an athlete. She's smaller than this guy's leg.
24:37
Okay. And if they were playing football together, he wouldn't even have to run.
24:42
He could just keep walking. They couldn't take him down, you know. He can't even believe it. But there's so
24:48
many. They had a race, a long-distance race. They had champion men, women, you know, one of those marathon deals. The
24:56
man finished 5 hours and 14 minutes and 36 seconds sooner.
25:02
He beat beat the champion woman by five hours. It's so demeaning to women. It's
25:09
so ridiculous, right? It's so ridiculous. The weightlifting. Take a look at the weightlifting records.
25:15
One record stood for 18 years and it was broken by 112 pounds. They couldn't get
25:23
1/8 of an ounce. You know, they put speaker, they put an eighth of an ounce on
25:28
she's going to break the record for her mom who's sitting in the front with her father. I'm going to break it. And she's
25:35
out there. We're adding 1/8 of an ounce to each side. This record has stood, ladies and gentlemen, for 18 years.
25:43
But she's going to do it. She's looking to get into the Olympics, right? And she
25:48
gets up and they put a little tiny thing like this little thing. And my wife, by
25:55
the way, my wife hates when I do this. She said, you know, she's a very classy
26:01
person, right? She said, "It's so unpresidential." I said, "But I did become president."
26:09
She Somebody, she hates when I dance. I said, "Everybody wants me to dance,
26:15
darling. It's not presidential." She actually said, "Could you imagine
26:21
FDR dancing?" She said that to me. And I said, "There's a long history that
26:29
perhaps she doesn't know because he was an elegant fellow even as
26:36
a Democrat, right? He was the attack by Japan, you know, he was quite elegant,
26:41
but he wouldn't be doing this." But but nor would too many others, but she says,
26:48
"Darling, please. The weightlifting is terrible." And I have to say this, the dancing they
26:54
really like. She said, "They don't like it. They're just being nice to you." I said, "That's not right. The place goes
26:59
crazy. They're screaming, "Dance, please." But the weightlifting, but no, the girl gets up
27:08
and you see, I want to be more, but I have somebody watching.
27:13
I want to be more ausive. I want to really
27:18
But she gets it and
27:26
dropped the thing, walks off the stage crying, her mother's crying, her father's guy gets up. He said, "Have you
27:32
lifted before little and he walks up being he could have gone
27:40
ding ding ding I think it was 112 pounds, right? It's
27:46
crazy." or the beautiful boxer. They have boxing now. And that they have a young
27:54
gentleman who transitioned was a very good boxer, but he wanted to be a woman, which is, you know,
28:01
to each his own because I want to be very liberal when
28:07
it comes to these subjects. I'm trying to get that vote. It's not an easy vote to get.
28:12
It's very tough for me to get it. But he transitioned and he's
28:18
He transitioned and the girl was a champion boxer from Italy. Remember she got up first round.
28:24
He hit a boom with a left. A left for those everybody here knows about but a
28:30
left Lisa knows better than anybody. But a left is defense. He goes
28:38
she's like oh my. She walked to the corner. Remember, she didn't go down,
28:43
but she did everything else. But she said, "I've never been hit like that before. I don't want to go out again.
28:50
You can do it. You can do it." Bing. She walked off. She said, "That's it's" He
28:55
happened to win the gold medal. That young woman, you won the gold medal.
29:00
There were two transition people. They both won gold medals. The whole thing is
29:06
ridiculous. You have policy on your side. They don't have policy. And you say, right, you have policy.
29:16
And I saw this guy fighting like hell. The swimming records is ridiculous when you look at the swimming any records.
29:22
It's crazy. And it's so demeaning to women. Women are the, you know, and for a long time they refused to talk about
29:29
it. They were embarrassed to talk about it. Now they do talk about it. They talk about it openly. But they have the worst
29:35
policy on everything. Open borders. We want open borders. you know, they still want an open border. We did the greatest
29:41
job ever on borders. And you know, I think they forgot it. My guy said to me today, I have a great guy, Ross. He's
29:47
the greatest speech swagger. He said, "Sir, let's not mention the border. Nobody cares about the border anymore."
29:53
Can you believe it? This was the biggest Hello. This was the biggest thing there
29:59
was. Says to me, "Nobody cares about the border because it has a shelf life. I
30:04
fixed the border. I fixed it in my first term. But now I really had to fix it. It was
30:09
much worse, you know, when I came into office. Millions and millions of people were pouring into our country and I
30:17
fixed it. And my guy who's incredible says, "People don't want to hear it, sir. You've done that." The problem is
30:22
people forget that I did it. They totally forget. They were talking about the other day, "We don't like Donald
30:27
Trump on this. We don't like Donald Trump and that." And somebody just out of the blue said, "Well, he did an
30:33
unbelievable job. Who cares about that?" They're saying like, you know, that's been done. What do we do about that,
30:39
Mike? Everything you do. It's almost like, what have you done lately is is
30:45
the way you have to run your life. In other words, I could have the most unbelievable four years.
30:53
And I guess they're not I I'm not allowed to run. I'm not sure. Is there little something out there that I'm not
30:59
allowed to run? But let's assume I was allowed to run. I could have there's going to be a
31:05
constitutional movement. No, I could have the most unbelievable four years.
31:12
Everything was great. But in the last week, I made a little slip up in something and you lose the election.
31:19
It's like, so we have we can't let them forget that we did such a great job on
31:24
the border. By the way, Venezuela, everyone, they're marching in the streets. They love it. Except in New
31:29
York. I mean, where they find these people? These people, and they're not like,
31:35
"These people are a mess." I know it's not nice to say that. These people are a mess. Where do they find these people?
31:43
They are the worst looking people I've ever seen. They really They got hats that are all frayed and all that looks
31:50
like they're all paid. They're all they don't even know what they're talking when the people the reporters don't
31:56
interview them because they know that it's you know the reporters the press is so anti it's hard to believe the press
32:02
could be so anti because it's all common sense you know it's not we're a conservative we're conser whatever
32:07
doesn't matter it's we're all common sense people it's not even conservative it's common sense but the press has no
32:15
credibility whatsoever think of it I got 97% bad stories on one network, 93% on the
32:24
other, and I won in a landslide. You know what that means? The press has no credibility.
32:29
That's all it means. And we got to keep it that way. So, I don't talk too much about the swimming, the weightlifting,
32:36
the boxing. I don't talk about it. You know why? I want to start bringing it up about a week before the election because
32:43
I don't want them to correct themselves. I don't want them to say, you know, we've decided that we don't want to have
32:50
men playing in women's sports. That'd be a devastating blow for us because
32:55
that's, you know, they say it's an 8020. No, no, it's about a 982 issue.
33:02
We've decided that we will not have open borders where the entire world
33:08
from the Congo, prisons from the Congo, these are extraordinarily tough people. These are people that make our
33:14
motorcycle gangs look like fine young men. Okay? Our motorcycle gangs are are
33:22
wonderful people by comparison. No, they come in from prisons in the Congo. They come in from prisons from all over the
33:28
world, but in particular Venezuela. Trend Ara. Trend Aaragua comes in. And Trend
33:34
Aaragua, they say it's the worst gang in the world. It makes our gangs look like little sweethearts. It makes our gangs,
33:41
you want to take them out to dinner. They're so nice. They cut off the fingers of people. One guy makes a phone
33:46
call in Colorado. The governor stinks in Colorado. He's no control. So trend day or they don't want to do anything about
33:52
it. So ICE has to go in and take him out because the governor doesn't want to do anything. But they make a phone call.
33:58
They've taken over my building. The landlord's calling. They took over his building. So the governor doesn't want
34:05
to do anything. But he calls the police. The guy they come in. Did you call the
34:10
police? This is Trend Rug. We're talking to the man that owns the building. Did you call
34:16
the police here? Boom. They cut off his fingers. If you call him again, the next
34:21
time your hand comes off. Can you believe? The guy's walking around. His fingers were cut off. And these are the
34:27
animals that we're throwing the hell out of here. Washington DC is now the safest
34:32
city in the country.
34:37
And you people know that better than anybody because you you were I mean think of it. You're in Congress. You're
34:44
respected people. You're afraid to walk outside Washington DC. Now we had a terror attack four weeks ago and one
34:51
person's looking down from heaven and the other one is actually recuperating and going to make it I think. Uh but
34:57
really badly hurt. Really badly hurt. Most positive mother I've ever No, my son's going to be fine, sir. My the
35:04
mother was telling me that the night of the attack, I went just like I went to you. I I just I spoke to this incredible
35:10
woman, sir. Everyone's praying for my son. He's going to be fine. The doctors thought she was, you know, just hoping
35:17
against help. There was no chance. And two weeks ago, he got up and started walking around and it's amazing
35:24
actually. So maybe uh some really looks like he could be okay. He's going to
35:30
have pretty bad after effects. But that was a different that was a terrorist
35:35
attack on people that are doing a great job and it could have been anywhere. But
35:41
we haven't had a murder. You know, we would have uh on average two murders a week in Washington. I don't even like
35:47
talking about it. Two two murders a week in Washington. You see, we have we haven't had one in seven months. People
35:55
can walk out now. you could walk down with your wife down to the restaurants which are booming by the way. I mean if
36:02
you go back to before I got in and we did a pretty good job four years ago but it was never this you know in my first
36:09
term. So when we were during the first term we were pretty good but you know it
36:14
wasn't like that big of an issue. It became a big issue because people were being mugged all over the place. We had
36:20
a couple of people working in the White House that were killed. We had one guy waiting for his wife in a car. They said, "Get out of your car." He said,
36:28
"Well, I'm waiting for my wife." They blew his head off. The wife is walking up to the car. Animals. And then they
36:35
get angry when I say they're animals. Nancy, they're not animals. They're
36:40
human beings. No, they're not. This is another thing. That's a n that's a 982 issue also. No, they're animals. And
36:47
we've taken them out. We've took out over 2,000 people, brought them back to their countries from where they came or
36:54
they're in prison now in Washington because it's not just like we had you have to take the bad ones out. 2% 3% of
37:01
the population causes 90% of the crime. Think of it. 2% of the population in
37:08
Washington DC causes 90% of the crime. So when you get rid of the 2%, we took
37:14
out over 2,000 people, got them out of the country. uh or in prison. Some were
37:20
so bad that we didn't want to send them back to their countries because they'll come back in even though it's hard now, but you know, they're pretty smart.
37:26
They're sick, but they're smart. But you're now living in one of the safest cities in the country. It's a great
37:32
thing. You can walk to the restaurants. Restaurants are booming. New restaurants are open. They were all closing. You wouldn't have had a restaurant.
37:39
And I don't know about you, but to me, those soldiers standing there look so good. I don't I'm not going to feel safe
37:46
walking down the street without them. I don't think you would either. Even though, you know, we took out all so many criminals. I just feel better. To
37:54
me, they they're beautiful. I look at these soldiers and uh you feel safe. You
38:00
feel safe. I don't think if we took them out, even if the crime wasn't much, it would definitely be more. We did a great
38:06
job in Chicago. They don't want to talk about it. We, you know, against all this this slob of a governor, this stupid
38:12
slob who the family threw him out of the business. It was a dope and uh the
38:18
Pritsker family, but they threw him out of the business. And the mayor, he's a low IQ person, extremely low IQ. We
38:26
should give everybody like these competency tests, right? The cognitive,
38:32
they call it cognitive. You know, I'm the only president that went for cognitive. I think every president and
38:38
vice president should be forced to take cognitive exams, mental tests, like
38:44
uh are they intelligent? Wouldn't it be nice? Do you think Waltz could pass a
38:49
cognitive test as an example? Do you think Kamla could? I don't think
38:55
Gavin could. He's got a good line of crap, but other than that, he couldn't pass.
39:00
I mean, here's a guy didn't want to have water coming down the from the Pacific Northwest. Why? You know, they have a
39:05
little tiny fish. Just big. It's a little tiny fish. Not doing well. You know why? No water.
39:12
They're sending water. It's too much. It's killing the fish. So, they cut it off. And then they have 25,000 houses
39:18
burned down. They don't know why. No, I think uh I believe in it. I'm the only
39:23
one that took a cognitive test. I do med. It's the worst. If I don't do a
39:29
medical exam because I've had times where I went longer because I'm busy. If I don't do a medical exam, they say,
39:35
"Trump's not doing an exam. There must be something wrong with them." If I do the exam,
39:42
they say, "Why did he do this? Why did he do this part
39:47
of an exam? That's he did too much. There's something wrong with him." Do
39:54
you remember I there was a period, Mike, where I had 32 days in a row I did one
39:59
press conference, two, three, sometimes four. I do them behind the desk. I don't even just do it do press conferences but
40:07
I do many press conference. I went 32 days and then one day just one day this
40:14
is 32 days in a row. Must be some kind of a crazy record. Then one day do you
40:19
remember I didn't do one because I took Kai, my very brilliant golfer, beautiful
40:26
young lady who swings the club so beautifully. She's a great scratch golfer
40:32
and uh loves playing. Grandpa, would you take me to play golf? It's like rand,
40:38
you know, I play golf and like record. I play speed golf. It's better than my You know the
40:45
expression miss it quick? No, I play speed golf, but I'm a good
40:51
golfer. Everybody knows anybody that I've beaten in this group. But I play I
40:57
love to play golf, but I don't get to play much. But I took off two hours
41:02
and the press couldn't find me. But they knew I was there because they, you know, they follow me and I was getting Are you
41:10
okay? Guys are calling me up. Some of the guys in this room, sir, are you okay? Yeah. What's the problem?
41:19
There's a report, sir, that you're no longer with us. Remember that? No. The report was that I
41:28
was no I want to I don't want to use the dword. That's such a horrible word.
41:33
Dead. I don't like there's a report, sir, that you're
41:39
no longer with us. I said, "Well, I just hit a 280 yard drive.
41:44
This isn't bad." And uh you know, it's one of the And it
41:49
it took me a couple of weeks to get that one straight. Yeah, the new one is they did a report in the fake news New York
41:55
Times where I work this day from early in the morning till late in the evening,
42:02
but we don't give out a full schedule. It's like you go, who the hell wants to give out a schedule to these people? But
42:08
it's all work. And this in particular, this day was brutal. I never got to
42:13
leave the seat. I couldn't you couldn't do anything. It was just one after another after another. And this went on
42:20
from early in the morning till late in the evening. And my people gave out a report. He had
42:27
lunch. They show report lunch with somebody and uh they did a story. Donald
42:34
Trump is slowing down. He only had lunch and then he went back up and they said
42:42
that's malfecence whoever did right. No, it's terrible. I was actually more angry
42:48
with my people than I was with the New York Times. But but they wrote a story
42:53
and it takes you a period of time to recover from these hits and it's almost no matter what you do, but you have to
43:00
keep a positive eye. But we have a fake press. We did a thing that's so
43:06
incredible on medicine that nobody has ever done it. Reducing favorite nations,
43:12
most favorite nations. We reduce the cost of medicine at levels that have
43:18
never even been dreamt of before. We should win the elections on just that
43:23
thing. If we did nothing else and went home, go home. We did Favorite Nations
43:29
where we're bringing down the price of a pill. As an example, in London, the pill
43:34
sells for $10. In New York, it sells for $130.
43:40
That's 13 times as much. Most favorite is I want to pay what the
43:46
lowest nation in the world is paying. Everybody knew about it, but nobody had the guts or the stamina to do it or the
43:54
respect from other nations. But I do. And then you also had to get the drug companies. The drug companies were not
44:01
easy, but they were much easier compared to the other nations. So the other nations used to tell the drug companies,
44:07
"We're not going to pay more. you keep it kept it for years the same price everything we we just kept going up up
44:12
up and finally I had the drug companies and I said listen fellas you can't do this can't do it anymore I'm not going
44:19
to let it we're going to do it and it's you're not going to do it and I did things to them that were brutal but I
44:25
really found out it was the nations that were so tough so when France was told that the bill will go from $10 to $30
44:33
that's a big increase right but it's not really and that ours would come down from 12 or $13 down to $30. So theirs
44:43
would go from 10 to 20 or 30 and ours would go from $13 down to meaning $130
44:51
down to 20 or 30. So it's a huge drop for us. Now
44:57
depending depending on the way you calculate it, it could be thousands of
45:02
percent down. It could also be 90% and 80%. You know there's two ways of calcul
45:07
I don't know if you know they said Donald Trump exaggerate now there are two ways of calculating it but calculate
45:13
it at 80 90%. But the other way is more accurate like
45:18
900% because that's what it really is but there are two ways but use the be
45:24
generous 90%. The there hasn't been a reduction in 28
45:29
years except for the one year where I got it down one quarter of 1% and I had a news conference. I was so proud of
45:34
myself. The the drug prices, prescription drugs are going to be down by thousands of
45:43
points. Thousands. On that one item, you should win this
45:49
election. The New York Times barely wrote about it. The other papers barely wrote about
45:56
it. Nobody even knows that the drug prices now people will say how to you
46:02
don't mind if I don't read this crazy teleprompter do you because you know do you mind because I have I have it's
46:10
called standard but but these things are so important because you guys got to get elected because if you don't get elected
46:17
we have a country that's going to go to hell so we can't play games ladies and
46:22
gentlemen the sun will rise tomorrow and when it rises we will We don't need this We need to
46:29
talk about favorite nations. And your numbers are coming down at levels that
46:35
nobody's ever seen. We inherited high prices. We inherited a mess. We
46:42
inherited the greatest inflation in history. And you know what was knocking
46:47
it down? The bad economy that we inherited. We inherited bad. We now have
46:52
the hottest economy in the history of our country. We have 18 trillion dollars
46:59
being invested in the United States. You have every one of you have car plants, AI plants, uh plants of all different
47:07
types there because of tariffs. I hope we get the good ruling from the Supreme Court. I only hope we do because it's
47:14
given us tremendous national security. So, let me just finish up because you know I weave. I love to weave. If you
47:21
ever weave and don't come back to the point, then that's a problem. Then you say, "But when you weave and you go here
47:28
and boom, boom, boom, always coming back." Then you're in good shape. But
47:34
what's happening is by doing what I did, we're getting
47:44
[Music] drugs is going to go up triple.
47:51
It's going from $10 a pill. Just as an example, I call it the fat drug. You could say the fat drug.
47:58
Empic is $80 in London and it's $1,300
48:04
in New York. The fat drug friend of mine called me up. He said,
48:10
"What the hell is going on?" A very rich guy, but he I said, "The fat drug doesn't work on you. Why are you even
48:15
taking it? The drug has failed miserably, but he's a very loud, boisterous. He's not a bad
48:22
guy, not a great guy, smart as hell, but he's a very rich guy. this this drug. He
48:28
could have paid millions for it. It wouldn't have mattered. But he said, "In
48:34
London, I'm paying 80 bucks. In New York, I'm paying like many times more
48:42
than that. What the hell is that's because of what's happened?" Because the nations held us back. So the drug
48:49
companies, I had made a deal with them. You're going to do it? They said whatever the nations agreed to. The nations were a bigger problem than the
48:55
drug companies. I said, "You tell me they will." They'll never agree, sir. They said, "100% they
49:02
will. 100%." They said, "Sir, the smartest guy, Eli, Lily, Merc, Fizer,
49:09
all genius. They're all making numbers you wouldn't believe. The defense contractors are making more. That's why
49:16
I'm going to say, you're going to you're making $45 million a year and you can't produce a freaking helicopter for seven
49:23
years. We're going to talk to them about that. But I said to the France, I call
49:28
up as an example. France, just as an example, I like him. He's a nice guy. Emmanuel, you know, Emmanuel Macron.
49:35
Mron. I love the French accent. Emmanuel. They said, "Listen, you're going to have
49:42
to raise your prices a little bit because we're paying
49:47
14 times more than you." That's a lot, right? We're paying numbers. In other
49:53
words, we're making up for all of this deficit. No, no, no, no, no, Donald. I I will not
50:00
be able to. Mr. President, please excuse me. Most of people call me Mr. President, except for people that don't
50:05
respect me. They call me that, which probably a lot of them do. But they said, "No, no, no, no. Putin calls me
50:13
Mr. President. She calls me Mr. President." Emanuel
50:19
goes, "No, no, no. We will not do that." said, "Yes, you will, Emanuel, 100%." Because I was told they wouldn't do it.
50:26
And this is, you can take Emanuel and add up Hans. You can add up Ludvig. You
50:32
can add every name in the book. It's all the same. The answer is no. We're not
50:37
going to double our drug prices. Not for you or anybody else. I said, "Yes, you
50:43
are 100%. We are not going to do it." No, no, no. You don't understand.
50:49
100% you're going to do it and you're going to like it. They go, I don't understand.
50:57
I've told you five times. Why do you keep saying you're going to do it? Because I'm always right about Trump is right about everything. Right. They said
51:04
that Trump is right about I have been right about everything. Got to keep it going. Is there wood up here? Hold.
51:12
I always like to just in case. Trump was right about everything. And I said, "Uh,
51:18
so you're going to do it, Emanuel?" "No, I'm not." He said, "Okay, here's the story, Emanuel.
51:23
If on Monday you haven't agreed to every single thing that we want and putting a
51:28
25% tariff on everything coming out of France, including your wines, your champagnes,
51:35
and everything else." No, no, no, no. You cannot do that. I said, "I can do that, and I will do that even for
51:42
national security. I'll do that, but this is for medical security. and
51:49
100%. Now, let me explain. The tariff I'm imposing on you is 42 times more
51:56
expensive than what I'm asking for you in return. So, you can either have a 25%
52:01
tariff added on to you like I did with China on fentinel. I put a 20% penalty
52:08
tax on China and it's drying up because the tax is far more than they make with
52:13
fentinol. but with the other nations. I said, "Uh, you're going to do it." And you know
52:19
what he said? You can't do that to me. I said, "Yes, I can. Don't worry about it.
52:24
It's not going to be that bad. You just have to explain it to your people, your 39 million people, that, by the way,
52:30
don't vote by mail. They vote on paper ballots. They tried voting by mail." And
52:36
there was fraud all over the country. We're the only country that votes by mail essentially. You know that, right?
52:42
You know, speaker, that's another thing. We're the only country that's stupid enough to vote by mail. Even Jimmy
52:48
Carter's commission said, "Don't do it." But just to finish so that you won't say, "You wanderers."
52:56
Emmanuel said to me, Donard, uh, you have a deal. I would
53:02
love to increase my prescription drug prices by 200% or whatever. I would love
53:11
to do be such an honor. Whatever you want, Donald. Please don't tell the population. Please, Donald, I beg you.
53:19
Every country said the same thing. No, no, no. We will not do this. Some were strong. Some were very nice. Some were
53:26
rude. But they all said one thing. No, we won't. And within, I'd say on average
53:33
3.2 two minutes. They were all saying, "We would be honored to quadruple our drug prices.
53:42
So, we would be honored to quadruple our prices if that's what you like. We want to make you happy." Okay. Therefore, I
53:48
will not charge you a tariff and you're going to increase your drug prices by three times what they were paying two days ago. Right. And we have now
53:56
favorite nation. You think Biden could do that? I don't think so. Think Biden
54:01
ever thought of it? Now, everybody's wanted favored nations, but everybody knew it was impossible to get the
54:07
countries to agree to it because they wouldn't have done and they've been doing this for 40 years or whatever it
54:12
is. We were subsidizing the entire world. That's just one of the many things we're giving. But you should take
54:20
that thing that's going to save. Now, that also when you add that to health care, your drug prices are much lower
54:26
than what you projected. So, we're going to reduce health care by a lot. One other thing on healthcare. It's never
54:33
been our issue. It should be our issue. We had a very nasty vote from a couple of people. I guess Collins, I guess Lisa
54:42
Macowski, and I guess a man named John McCain. Remember, thumbs down. You
54:48
remember? He said, "I'm all for 10 years he campaigned. I don't want to be nasty, but for 10 years, he campaigned on
54:54
Obamacare. We're going to destroy Obamacare. We're not going to do it. and then we're going to terminate it and
55:00
then it's surprising. We could have had
55:06
health care, good health because Obamacare is bad and the people understand it's bad and the premiums are
55:12
horrible. But one thing I've learned I've learned a lot about health care. I found health care so sort of like
55:20
not of tremendous interest but it was very important and I made it of tremendous interest. So, I made a
55:27
statement a couple of months ago because I saw the numbers. I said, "Boy," because, you know, I like to see what's
55:33
going on. That's one of the reasons we, by the way, we set an all-time record again today. We have the highest stock
55:38
market in the history of our country by far every single month. That's another thing you should camp, you know, they
55:44
like to demean that. They, you know, the Democrats, well, that doesn't mean anything. That's just No, no. That means
55:50
jobs and it means 401ks because a lot of people have 401ks and they have hello
55:56
best lawyer in the room. Uh the best have 401ks and they have 401ks like I
56:04
had a a young policeman. I told this story twice but it was the same thing. This was a recent case. I had a case
56:12
years ago because I had a great economy. You know we had the greatest economy in history during my first term. My first
56:17
term was a tremendous success. But again, nobody wants to talk about that.
56:22
We rebuilt our military. We did things that nobody could have done. We did a great job. This term is blowing it away.
56:29
It's blowing every term. There's never been a president that had a year like this, especially a starting year. And we
56:35
should win based on that, too. All things. But the 401k, so there's a
56:40
policeman and he comes up and he was guarding me along with lots of other
56:45
people. Sir, I want to thank you. What? My wife thinks I am the worst investor
56:50
in the world. And for the last year,
56:56
I have I have She thinks now I'm Warren Buffett. She said, "You're smarter than
57:02
Warren Buffett. You're a better investor than Mr. Warren Buffett, sir." I said, "How's your 401k?" "It's doubled.
57:10
It's going up. It's going up." Well, I said, "Just relax." But 401ks are
57:16
through the roof. Those are us. Those are the people. We have the highest
57:21
stock market in history. 47 days out of
57:26
11 months. We have just a piece of the last month left for the first year. 47
57:33
days out of 11 months. We hit a new record. Well, we hit one last night. We hit We hit another one today. I
57:40
understand. But we hit one last night. New record. brand new record. All
57:45
exchanges, not just, you know, DAO, DAO is up, but all of them. We have another
57:50
record 40, that's the 47th time in 11 months that we've hit an all-time high.
57:57
And the future because we have more money coming into our country than any country has ever had by far. The record
58:05
was about $3 trillion many years ago by China.
58:10
We've got $18 trillion dollars pouring into our country. You know why? Because of tariffs. Because if they build a
58:18
factory, they don't have to pay any tariff. But if they make it in another
58:24
country and they send it in, they have a very big tariff to pay. So they can't pay that tariff. So what they do is they
58:30
come in and they're building. By the way, this is what China did to us for many years. It's just reversing it.
58:36
Other than we have we have a great product. We have a great We were losing our product though. Tell you what, if I
58:43
had lost this election, if you had Kamla, it's the same thing, Joe and Kamla. I I call them equals. If you had
58:49
Kamla come in, I believe that our country would have been Venezuela on
58:56
steroids. I used to say that during the campaign. If if I don't win,
59:02
we're going to have Venezuela. So, we have 18 trillion coming in. I think we could hit 20 trillion by the time the
59:08
year is up. Right? Less than one year.$18 trillion. The record is $3 trillion. $3 trillion. A lot of money.
59:16
18 trillion is not even thinkable. That's all investment. That's building factories. That's building plants. You
59:22
know how many car factories we have? Half of you guys are having car factories where you are. Uh Louisiana is
59:30
doing great. Georgia right next to you is doing great. Hello. nice guy. All
59:37
nice people actually in this room. I can't see. Is there anybody I'm supposed to dislike in this room? I think that I
59:44
think that couple of people maybe didn't show up. There's only one that I really dislike. I mean, I really the same
59:51
person that Mike gave up on because there's something wrong with him. He's a sick person. But there's only one
59:57
really. The others I just have to you just have to understand them. you know, they have some problems, too. But you
1:00:04
just have to sort of go with them and understand them, feel sorry for them,
1:00:09
advise their family. Are they okay? Because what we're doing is right. But
1:00:15
$18 trillion, car plants being built. I was in Japan. Somebody admonished me, he
1:00:22
shouldn't be traveling. I don't like to travel. I don't like to travel. But when I travel, I make a lot
1:00:29
of money for the country. Not for me. For me, I don't make I don't care. It's I have a much higher purpose. I have
1:00:36
plenty of money. I don't need money. I don't want money. I want to make money for the country. And like I did with
1:00:42
Intel, Intel came in. They had a problem. They said, "I can solve the problem, but I think you should give the
1:00:49
United States 10% of your company." He goes, "Whoa." I said, "Yeah, I think
1:00:55
I think I can help you with the problem, but you got to give the United States, not me." Sometimes I'll say, "Give me,
1:01:01
but when I say me, I'm talking about I'd love to accept it, but I don't think that law enforcement would like that."
1:01:07
Right? I'm very cognizant of law enforcement, perhaps more than anybody in history.
1:01:13
Actually, a friend of mine who's really smart said, "You know, you've got to be the most honest guy in history because
1:01:21
you have been examined. your books, your records. I have a big business. Every record. I had these Democrats hired the
1:01:29
biggest accounting firms, the biggest law firms, the biggest I went through years of abuse.
1:01:38
And here I am. They didn't find anything wrong. Remember, we want his tax returns
1:01:43
for years. We want his Finally, the Supreme Court.
1:01:49
Shockingly, I'm the only one. This couldn't happen to anybody else. You
1:01:54
have to give your tax returns, right? I gave my tax returns. They're from here
1:02:00
to here. It's a big business. It's a great business. And it's I built a great business. Like
1:02:06
much bigger and better than anyone even understands. But I gave my tax returns. They go from here to the ceiling
1:02:12
practically. They got them. Headline Trump to give tax returns. Supreme Court ruled I had
1:02:19
to give my tax return. Can you believe it? Everyone said you're not supposed to not supposed to do that. And by
1:02:24
fighting, they think you're trying to hide something. You know, naturally, I gave my tax returns. That's the last we
1:02:32
ever heard. They hired the biggest accounting firm in the world, most
1:02:37
powerful lawyers in the world. They spent millions and millions of dollars going over those returns. There hasn't
1:02:44
been one story that I did anything wrong. So this friend of mine who's highly sophisticated, rich guy, smart
1:02:50
guy said, "There's nobody that I know that could have gone through an examination
1:02:57
like that and not ended up in prison." Nobody ever had to suffer like I did.
1:03:04
Nobody ever did that to anybody else. You know, there was an expression Andrew
1:03:10
Jackson was the most abused president in the history of the United States. You know who second was? this before me. You
1:03:17
know who second was? Abraham Lincoln, but he had a civil war, so we have to
1:03:23
give him a pass. But Andrew Jackson was treated horribly. He was a great general and a good president. So bad that his
1:03:30
wife died. I mean, his wife died. They were horrible. But I just saw a report came out the
1:03:36
other day. I blow them away. I blow He never got impeached twice. get impeached
1:03:43
twice or nothing. What a perfect phone call. Remember, perfect phone call.
1:03:49
Tim Scott, who's a great guy, great, wonderful guy. South Carolina,
1:03:55
straight guy, right? He is a good guy, good person. He's an honest person. He
1:04:00
read a transcript. Thank goodness I had a transcript.
1:04:05
Essentially, the the call was taped because they tape calls. I didn't even know. So, was that call taped? Yes, sir.
1:04:13
I said, "Oh, well, bring it down. I don't even know." And we read the
1:04:18
transcript. It was perfect. It was so good. I told Ukraine not to cheat. And
1:04:24
if you see any cheating, report it to the attorney general of the United States. That was that was my call. They
1:04:30
said he was trying to intimidate. That's intimidate. All I said is don't cheat. And we have a signed agreement that
1:04:36
Ukraine can't cheat. you know that we it's the only like the only country I've actually assigned
1:04:42
they violated the agreement many times I would tell you'll find out I was right about that too but I nobody's gotten but
1:04:51
this guy said to me for you to have escaped but the one thing and I'll just
1:04:56
end it because Jim Jordan back there world champion wrestler
1:05:02
128 and one ever happened to the one guy, the Russian, he he lost to How dare
1:05:10
you lose to a Russian. Do you know the more impressive record
1:05:16
for Jim? Because I'm a big sports person. I love sports. Jim went to high school. As in high school, he was
1:05:24
considered like the top wrestler, but he was undefeated in high school. Now, what
1:05:30
that means is that as a freshman, he was beating seniors. Is that true? Were you actually undefe seriously were you
1:05:36
undefeated in high school? That means as a freshman he had to beat seniors to
1:05:42
you. Nobody could because there's such a difference between a freshman and a senior. To me that's more impressive
1:05:48
than anything. But I'm also impressed with his fight. Now we have to close the
1:05:54
deal. Jim, we got to close the deal. Close that deal. But I
1:06:00
but the right so you know I respect I saw Jim and first time I met Jim I
1:06:05
looked at him I said tough looking guy but I noticed the ears they were a little rough.
1:06:11
They were a little bit of a rough some people would say a little cauliflower on that ear. They said Jim have you
1:06:19
wrestled before? Yes I did. Where was it? Ohio State something like he was an
1:06:26
all-American at Ohio State. I said, "Yeah, I could sort of tell. I look at the ears and I can sort of tell." But
1:06:34
have you had plastic surgery on your ears, Jim? No. Because they look better now than they did the first time. They've healed over the years. They've
1:06:41
healed. Actually, now you're wrestling with probably much tougher people, the radical left lunatics, right? But
1:06:47
anyway, so I just want to leave it by this. I want to say that you are great people. We have all of the policy. We
1:06:54
have wonderful I just stay together. You gota We got a few people that make life very difficult. They don't have that. I
1:07:01
used to say they don't have a Mitt Romney in their midst. I mean Mitt Romney was very difficult. You know,
1:07:07
he'd always he was almost like for them. It was a very on the Senate side. But we
1:07:13
have couple of people that are really bad. I mean, they're bad, but maybe they'll straighten out. Maybe somebody
1:07:18
in the room can sit them down and straighten them out because what we're doing is the right thing for the
1:07:24
country. We're not Republican or Democrat or we're doing the right thing for the country. Every if you look at
1:07:29
what we're we're trying to solve the health care problem, we're trying to get better health care at a lower price. I
1:07:37
mean, that's a good thing, right? And the one thing I learned in just in concluding and I said it like a month
1:07:45
and a half ago and it was the number one thing in the country even the fake news
1:07:50
covered it. They tried to put a negative spin on it of course. I said I read a story about insurance companies making a
1:07:57
fortune a fortune. Their stocks were up 1700%.
1:08:03
Who invested recently in a stock that's up 17? And that's because the money that
1:08:08
they're getting from Obamacare is massive and the government generally
1:08:13
that means they're making a fortune. And as soon as that because I'm like I have a natural I don't want to say it again
1:08:20
but I have a natural business instinct. I do. I've always done things. I've done some things that people said you're
1:08:25
crazy and I made a lot of money with. I've done a lot of things that were good. I have an instinct. Right.
1:08:31
Somebody said, "He's got the best political instincts of any politician in
1:08:36
150 years." I said, "No, I don't. I really don't believe I do. I think I have good instincts. I have common
1:08:42
sense." But they said that it was a very complimentary statement, but I don't believe that's necessarily right, but I
1:08:48
do have good policy. I have good common sense. And maybe they wheeled that into
1:08:53
instincts. But and I did become president, so can't be that bad. And I
1:08:59
never did it before. Don't forget I ran for president. I had a politician telling me very strongly. They said,
1:09:06
"Sir, I've run for office 20 times and I've won 17
1:09:12
and I know what I'm talking about." This was at the very beginning of my first time. I said, "Well, I've only run once
1:09:19
and I won, but I won for president." He said, "You got me on that one." He's actually sitting in this room right now,
1:09:26
that son of a gun. He knows who I'm talking about. He was giving me a hard time, but he's turned out to be a decent person. Not the best in the room, but a
1:09:33
decent person. Not my He's not my favorite in the room, but he's decent.
1:09:38
But we have We have one thing that's really strong. Uh-oh. It's a fake news.
1:09:43
Pullet surprise. Right, Dad? Pullet surprise. He got He got one for the bullet. He had the bullet, but he got
1:09:51
How many Pullet surprise? Three Pullet surprises. And all talented guys. These are great guys. I don't like
1:09:57
the people back there as These are the ones that take the pictures. Make me look thin for a
1:10:04
change, Doug. You're making me look a little bit heavy. I'm not happy about it.
1:10:09
But one thing I did see and find out in the last two months, when you tell the
1:10:15
people that we want the money to be paid to the people so the people can buy
1:10:23
their own health insurance and health care, it is
1:10:30
it's like and I just said it and I said it because I read a story on the front page of a certain paper that I don't
1:10:36
even mention because it's so stupid paper so bad. It's gotten so so far off the Wall Street Journal. I don't mention
1:10:41
it. I refuse to tell you which I refuse to tell you that it's the Wall Street Journal. They've lost their way. This is
1:10:48
not the Wall Street Journal of old, but I read a story on the Wall Street Journal and it said that uh that uh the
1:10:57
insurance companies are making so much money. They weren't demeaning them or anything. And I guess as an investor,
1:11:02
you're happy. When I read that, I said, "Wait a minute. they're making that kind of money and they're making it because
1:11:08
of stupid politicians. I hate to say that we allow them to make it
1:11:14
if you guys can get in a room because you know we don't have that as one of our issues. It's the only thing they
1:11:20
have. They're lousy at it. They came up with Obamacare. We tried to fight it. We almost had it one but we didn't get
1:11:26
three votes. We should have gotten them. But here's you. You want to turn this thing. You
1:11:33
work on favorite nations. You work on borders. You work on all of the things that we talked about. But now you take
1:11:40
the health care issue away from them and they want to fight it. You know why? They're all owned by the insurance
1:11:46
companies and they cannot fight it successfully. There's nothing they can
1:11:52
do. That's like almost the voter ID thing when they try and fight. I watched
1:11:58
a guy trying to explain why we shouldn't have voter ID the other day and the guy was a fool. He looked like an idiot.
1:12:05
This is the same kind of an issue. Let the money go in the healthc care
1:12:11
account or however you do it. Let the money go directly to the people. Now you have to be a
1:12:18
little flexible on hide. You know that you got to be a little flexible. You got to work something. You got to use
1:12:26
ingenuity. You got to work. We're all big fans of everything, but
1:12:31
you got to be flex. You have to have flexibility. I came out with a statement. Let the
1:12:38
money go not to the big fat cats and the insurance companies that made 1700% over
1:12:44
the last short period of time. Let the money go directly to the people where
1:12:49
they can buy their own healthcare. And [Applause]
1:12:56
and I don't think I'm not sure that I've ever said anything that was more impactful. You know, I say a lot of things and have a lot of good ideas and
1:13:05
this was an idea that I mean the whole world went crazy. The whole country went cra the world went crazy with envy.
1:13:13
If you can somehow do that, Mr. Speaker, Tom, all of you, Steve, if you can do
1:13:18
that, you're going to have this is going to be your issue.
1:13:24
And the other thing is fertilization. They're trying to hit us on fertilization.
1:13:29
They were dead on fertilization. When I got a call from a very wonderful
1:13:34
young senator from Alabama saying they had just lost a case, and the case, I've
1:13:43
never been met with such scorn. friends of hers were just going crazy.
1:13:49
And I said, "Explain the issue to me." And it was on IVF, the fertilization.
1:13:54
A judge ruled against and said, "All fertilization places have to be closed down like
1:14:00
immediately. It would have been a disaster." And fortunately, I picked it up and we
1:14:05
became we own the issue. But now I understand they're trying to make a case on fertilization. You can't let them do
1:14:12
that. Very important issue. All of these issues are very important issues. Uh but
1:14:17
you can own health care. Let figure it out. Let the money go directly to the
1:14:25
people. It goes in a health care account. It does. There are numerous things you can do, but you have to let
1:14:32
no money for the insurance companies. You know, I'm going to meet with the insurance companies. I said, "I'm going to meet with them." Because I met with
1:14:38
the prescription drug companies and that's when I found out what was going
1:14:43
on with the fact that we were paying 10 and 13 and 14 times more money than Europe and other places. I learned that
1:14:50
at the meeting now. I'm going to meet with them in a few days. I'm meeting with them all. 14 companies. I'm meeting
1:14:56
with them all. I'm also meeting with oil companies. Let's go. You know, you know what that's about. We got a lot of oil
1:15:03
to drill which is going to bring down oil prices even further. But if you can
1:15:09
come up with health care, remember this where the money goes to the people you
1:15:15
have just own. They can't fight it. They're owned by the insurance companies. You guys don't get money from
1:15:21
the insurance companies. They do. They get a massive amount of money. It's their biggest donor.
1:15:28
They're going to try and fight you, but they can't win the fight. If you explain it, the money goes directly to the
1:15:35
people. That's going to be your issue. The other thing is energy. Your energy prices have come so far down since that
1:15:42
president. And nobody wants to I saw in television energy prices are down 3%.
1:15:49
No, they're not down 3%. They were $3.50 and $4. It's now n$1.99 a gallon in many
1:15:56
stations. many stations and it's going down further and that's like a massive
1:16:02
tax cut. And that's the other thing, tax cuts. No tax on tips. No tax on social
1:16:10
security. No tax on overtime. Now, think of this. No tax on tips. No tax for
1:16:17
seniors on social security. No tax on overtime. You're allowed to deduct if you buy a
1:16:23
car and you take out a loan on the car. For the first time ever, middle inome
1:16:29
people, all people can deduct, but they never got a deduction before like this. They never It's only for rich people.
1:16:35
They got them. They have so many deductions. You're allowed to deduct the interest
1:16:42
against your taxes. Nobody thought it was possible. It's going to be phenomenal for the car companies, but
1:16:48
it's even more phenomenal for the people. It's like getting a, you know, it's like paying half for the car.
1:16:56
All of these things you have so much ammunition. All you have to do is sell it. Taxes. But the one thing they know
1:17:04
about the taxes, the great big I call it the great big beautiful bill. I think it's even better. But the great big
1:17:10
beautiful bill is just that there are so many goodies in the bill. You have to get the word out because the people in
1:17:16
the back of the room won't do it. That's why I love live television because they can't Well, sometimes they'll turn the
1:17:22
camera off, but they're embarrassed when they do that. You know, if we're going too strong and doing too well, if the
1:17:28
lights go off, you know you're doing well. If the lights are on, you got yourself a problem. Okay, I see that
1:17:35
little red light. That light goes on. If that light, that's bad, isn't it? If
1:17:41
that light goes off, you know that you're doing a good job because you're fighting the Democrats and you're
1:17:47
fighting the fake news. And it's amazing that they can be so stupid and they
1:17:54
don't have credibility anymore and you can beat them. I mean, and you it's the old thing that, you know, never fight
1:17:59
the news, but you have no choice because it's almost like they become radicalized. But you are fighting the
1:18:05
news, but you can beat them. That's why I'm standing here. I mean, I had Camala.
1:18:11
I was beating Joe by 30 points and then they changed him. That's like a fighter in the ring. He's losing and they so
1:18:17
let's put somebody else in to take his place. Very unfair. They changed in the middle of the election. They said he's
1:18:23
going to lose, so let's give somebody else. And fortunately, she was just as bad as him.
1:18:29
Probably slightly. I don't know. Would you say as bad or worse? Close. Pretty close. But it took six weeks. It was a
1:18:36
honeymoon period. six weeks. Took six weeks to find out that she didn't have what it takes. But you got to win the
1:18:43
midterms because if we don't win the midterms, it's just going to be
1:18:49
I mean, they'll find a reason to impeach me. Uh I'll get impeached. We don't
1:18:55
impeach them. You know why? Because they're meaner than we are. We should have impeached Joe Biden for a hundred
1:19:01
different things. They are mean and smart,
1:19:07
but fortunately for you, they have horrible policy. They can be smart as can be, but when
1:19:15
they want open borders, when they want, as I said, men and women sports, when they want transgender for everyone,
1:19:22
bring your kids in, we're going to change the sex of your child, just send them our way. In some cases, like in
1:19:28
Minnesota, they don't even tell the parents. Is that right? And nobody believes it when I say I think we have six states. Nobody am I correct? Okay.
1:19:36
Tom Emmer said yes. So, but it's true. Where the kid comes back, they keep the
1:19:42
kid. They operate on the kid. They don't tell the parents. It's not believable.
1:19:49
We have great solid common sense policy. They have horrendous policy. What they
1:19:56
do is they stick together. They never have a no vote. They impeached me. I
1:20:02
never knew I was going to be impeached. I get a phone call. You just got impeached. I said, "What does that
1:20:08
mean?" It took them 10 minutes. They impeached the president of the who did a
1:20:14
damn good job. I rebuilt our military, Space Force. I got everything. I did a lot. They impeached me for nothing.
1:20:22
Twice for nothing. Fortunately, you were on our side and we were unanimous. And
1:20:29
the second time, the few people in this little group like Rice and this, they're all gone. Every one of them is gone
1:20:36
except one that we're going to sort of let ride with, some guy that has a state that you might
1:20:41
as well just let them ride. But think of it, everyone's gone. Everyone's gone. Makes me feel so good.
1:20:48
I don't want to feel vicious, but I'm so happy that everyone and they're seriously gone, too. They lost in
1:20:54
landslides. This guy named Rice, he lost by 48 points, right? Remember him?
1:21:03
Oh, no. There. There he is. What a job you did, Mr. Fry. Congressman Fry. I
1:21:10
looked around for somebody. It's true. This was a good choice. We've made some bad choices, too, because you have to do
1:21:15
it. I said, "Who the hell can run against this guy Rice?" It was a Trump plus 40 district. They had riots around
1:21:22
his house that night. You know, he voted I vote to impeach and that night they had riots. So they
1:21:29
said, "Who the hell? Just give me somebody a warm body."
1:21:37
And then and then No, no, it has to be a living breathing person.
1:21:44
And then if I could get a genius, it would be good. And we got a guy who is so good. He's been I think Are you happy
1:21:51
with him? I think so. Stand up, brother. He's great.
1:21:57
I said, "Where does he come from?" He's like a senator, state senator or something. I said, "All right." I spoke
1:22:03
to him one time. I said, "You're accepted." But little did I realize how good he was. You did a great job. You've
1:22:08
done a great job and the people love him. So, he has done a great job. I just want to say this. I'm um I haven't read
1:22:14
one word on this thing. Who the hell else could do this? And I think I gave
1:22:20
you something. It's just a road mapap and it's a roadark map to victory. You
1:22:25
have so many good nuggets. You have to use them. If you can sell them, we're going to win because we've won two races
1:22:32
in like 50 years. It's for whatever reason. I don't know why,
1:22:37
but just don't fight it. It doesn't make sense. There've been two and they were unusual circumstances. So whether it's a
1:22:44
Republican or Democrat, whoever wins the presidency, the other party wins the midterm. And it doesn't make sense
1:22:51
because we've had the most successful year probably in the history. They say,
1:22:56
and now you add what happened essentially yesterday. We've had the most successful first year of any
1:23:03
president in history. And it should be a positive and make it a positive. So with that, I
1:23:11
leave you. I do. And I started by saying I love you all and I'll end by saying I love you. You're amazing people. What
1:23:17
you do for this country is incredible. And thank you all very much. Thank you. Thank you.

There's no need to feel down. I said young man, pick yourself off the ground.
1:23:56
I said young man, you're in a new town. There's no need to be unhappy. Young

man, there's a place you can go. I said, "Young man, when you're short on your
