I got a teleprompter that’s gone. This one’s almost gone, but we’ve been there before. Supposing that happened to Biden. You know what happens? He’d go like this: Bye. He’d leave. I’ll stay here with you for an hour. We’ll have some fun, but I want to thank Tom, and he’s been an amazing guy, actually. We’ve gotten to know each other mostly over the last year, and his wife is even more amazing. She’s so great. She’s been with me, and she convinced him to be with me, and now he’s more with me than her, and it’s a very complex relationship. And now they’re two great people, and thank you very much. Thank you, Tom. Great job. Very respected in Washington. But I want to just start off by saying hello, Minnesota. This is a great state. We’re going to win this state. 1952. Can you imagine? I thought we won it in 2016. I know we won it in 2020. We’ve got to be careful. We’ve got to watch those votes. We don’t need the votes. We’ve got to watch the votes. That’s the big danger. Stop the steal. There’s a lot of different names we have for it, but all of them are pretty accurate. I’m thrilled to be back in the Twin Cities with the hardworking patriots from the heartland of America. This is really the heartland. And I’m here tonight to declare that we’re officially expanding the, this is an official expansion, Tom, of the electoral map. We’re going to put this because this is so in play. Did you see? Two polls came out. One had me one point behind. One had me two points up, and another one’s coming out tomorrow. And the word is that I’m two points up. I don’t know if that’s good or bad. How are you two points up to Biden? He can’t talk. He can’t walk. Can’t find his way off a stage. Can’t put two sentences together, although he has agreed to debate. So I don’t know. Maybe they know something. He’s going to be so. You act up for those debates, you watch. I want to thank Minnesota GOP Chair David Hand for the incredible job that you do, David. Thank you. A really good man. David, are we going to win? What do you think? You’re an important guy. He may be the most important guy in the room, Tom. I’m sorry. You know? If he — whatever it takes, you know, whatever it takes. But thank you. And thank you to you, your beautiful wife. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. And we’re really counting on you to do the job, as we’ll give you the ammunition. And I think you will do it based on everything we’re seeing. A very good friend of mine, one of the great governors of the country, Doug Bergham, as you know, from North Dakota. Thank you, Doug. The best hockey player in the history of Congress. There’s no question about it. Pete Starburn, my friend. A Congresswoman who’s a patriot and a real fighter, and she’s always been with me right from the beginning. Michelle Fischbach. Thank you, Michelle. Thank you very much. And the greatest purchaser of advertising in the history of the country. There’s never been, I don’t know, his pillows are excellent. But I’m more impressed with the purchasing. If he could buy my edge, you’d never, for what I spend, you would never have any empty spot without a Trump ad. This guy’s the greatest buyer of edge in history, Mike Lindell. And his beautiful, just married, beautiful new wife. Thank you very much for being with us. That’s great. It’s a beautiful couple. I’ve said that a lot before, but this time I know it’s perfect. I’ve said so many times, what a beautiful couple. Two weeks later, how you doing? Well, we broke up. That one’s never breaking up. But Mike, it is true, though. He had a commercial. You know, you call up like the networks, you call up Fox. They do a 30 second commercial. A minute is very hard to buy. This guy’s commercials at last 10 minutes. They never stop. And now he sells pillows and he sells sneakers. He sells anything. And we love him. He’s a special guy. He’s gone to how many rallies have you come to this over 100? Yeah. No, it’s amazing. He’s our friend. And he does it out of love. And we love him. With the help of everyone here tonight, we’re going to take back the White House and we are going to make America great again. do it. Two days ago, it was announced that inflation in April continued to rage at a brutal 3 .4 annual rate. Nobody can believe it because they’re just not stopping it. That’s that’s above the probably 30 points that you’ve picked up over the last couple of years. This is a level that people have not seen before. Consumer prices just hit an all time high. And since crooked Joe Biden and he is crooked. He’s the worst president in the history of the country. How we can be one point down or two points up in Minnesota to this guy. I don’t know. There’s only one way it can happen. They cheat. That’s the only way. That’s the only way. Some people like it. Some people don’t. But that’s the way it is already. I tell you. And I never use the word folks. You know why. That’s all he uses. You ever watch folks folks folks. It’s a nervous habit. It’s an I did a play by play of his State of the Union address. Man was he jacked. But he used he used the word folks like 40 times folks. I never use I used to use it. He uses dice, you know, one or two times in a speech. But groceries are up 22% eggs are up 50% electricity is up 4050 60% gasoline is up 56% car insurance. You can’t even get it. It’s up 52% if it’s available. And then if you need it, they don’t give it to you. They fight you like hell. And meanwhile, real wages are down by almost 5%. This is what we have. This is by dynamics. You know, he thought it was such a good term that to explain no, it’s a disaster. No, inflation has eaten, you know, it’s a country buster. And we have inflation like we haven’t seen in I guess 78 years, but I think it’s probably longer than that. That’s why this November, the people of Minnesota are going to tell Crooked Joe Biden, right? The apprentice you’re fired. Get out of here. Get out. You did a lousy job. Worst president in history. You did a terrible job, Crooked Joe. His inflation catastrophe is in effect a colossal tax on American families. We will call it the Biden inflation tax. This is a tax that you don’t know about time. We it’s just I just came up with it like it’s the biggest tax in history. It’s called an inflation tax. It’s about 50%. This is like going to Congress and raising your hand for a 50% tax. That’s what it is. When I left office and we had virtually no inflation. We had nothing. We had only success yet in the past three years, it’s an amazing thing. Yet in the past three years, the taxes cost us an average. If you think the average Minnesota family is a staggering twenty eight thousand dollars. Think of that. Who could think of that? Twenty eight thousand dollars in tax and the Biden price hikes are continuing to drain one thousand one hundred and sixty five dollars from the typical Minnesota family budget. single month. I mean, think of these numbers. These numbers are staggering. And, you know, if somebody got a little bit of a wage increase, it doesn’t matter because the prices have gone up so much. It’s a sad thing. Now they want to go to an EV. Everybody has to have an electric car. Is that wonderful? They don’t go far. By the way, that ends on the first day. First day, first day. And if you want to buy it, you can buy one. You know, I’m not knocking it. If you want to go, you know, three, four miles and then back home, plug it in, get ready for the purchase of a newspaper. The next day, you know, you want to go down buy a newspaper like in the old days every once in a while. But now we’re going to end it right away immediately. And I think people, if they want to buy an electric car, I think it’s great, but they have to be able to buy gasoline powered. They have to be able to buy hybrids. The hybrids are good. You know, the hybrids are good, but the electric, they don’t go far. They’re very expensive and they’re all going to be made in China. And now they want to make electric trucks, and the trucks are a disaster because the battery is so big, it takes up half of your payload. To go to California, you need six stops, and you have no chargers. Other than that, it’s very good. If you go with like an 18 -wheeler, if you go, you can go from New York to California without a stop. And you know, it’s something I never even heard before. One of the truckers told me they’re begging for help because they’re going to be put out of business. They’re all going to be put out of business. He said, you know, with a big truck, you buy a gorgeous, I won’t even use the names, but you know the names of these companies, and you have this massive tank with diesel fuel. And as it goes along, it gets better and better because you’re burning fuel and it gets lighter and lighter with a battery. It just stays the same weight. You just got to lift that battery. But they’re too big. The batteries are too big. They don’t work. It’s not something that’s even feasible. But these people don’t want to hear about it. They don’t want to talk about it. In three minutes, a sane person, if they were in government, could be talked out of going all -electric trucks because the batteries are so big and so heavy, they take up half of your payload. And in three minutes, but they don’t want to hear about it, you say you have to stop six times instead of no times. They say we don’t care. I mean, who could say that? These are radical lunatics that we’re dealing with, they’re lunatics. And now they want to go all -electric army tanks, OK? So that when we go in and blast the crap out of an enemy that we have and that we hate, and sometimes we should be there. Many times we shouldn’t be there, to be honest with you. But we blast the hell out of an enemy. We do it in an environmentally friendly way. What are we doing? And now it turns out, you know, we make the best tanks in the world, and now it turns out that in terms of army tanks, you have to put a truck on the back of the army tank because the battery is so big, it’s going to have the tow truck, and it still doesn’t go far, and it still costs twice as much, and it’s not effective. But it does keep a clean environment, which is very important, because I know up in a place called Minnesota, they like clean air. And you know what? You had the cleanest air in history for four years using natural gas — Trump — natural gas and clean coal. Unbelievably. That’s true. That’s true. That’s true. The whole thing. And you know, all this stuff has to be made in China, because that’s what they have. We have a thing called gasoline. We have more liquid gold under our feet than any nation in the world, including Russia and including Saudi Arabia. I did ANWR in Alaska, the biggest find in the world. It’s probably the size — probably the size of Saudi Arabia. And in his first week in office, they ended it. Ronald Reagan tried to get it. He couldn’t get it. Everybody tried to get it. I got it approved. They were getting ready and this guy ended it in the first day in office. So sad. I mean, so sad. And ultimately, that’s what caused inflation. Your energy prices went up so much and very simple, whether you make donuts or whether you make tires or whether you make anything, you have to turn on the furnaces and you have to get the trucks moving and all of the other things. And the energy is what caused this massive inflation that we’ve suffered through. And then everything caught on. I mean, you ever see bacon where it went up four times, four times over a course of three years. So I don’t eat bacon anymore. It’s too expensive. But unbelievably, Crooked Joe Biden went on television last week and he proclaimed in an interview with Americans can actually that he’s saying that Americans can actually afford his brutal inflation tax. He said they could afford it. He declared that families, quote, have the money to spend. They have the money to spend. They don’t have the money to spend. They’ve run out of money. I mean, they’re on literally people don’t have if they get sick, if they’re away for two or three days of income. I don’t know. What do they do? You know, you’re spoiled. You’re a lot of rich, very rich people. You know, you said all sorts of records tonight. Have you heard that? You set attendance record and you set a money raising record. But can you imagine if if you miss a couple of days of work, can you imagine you can’t pay your bills? I mean, we have the highest percentage of that that we’ve ever had. And Biden blamed his economic disaster on companies shrinking the size of their sticker bars. OK, can you believe that? But, you know, it’s a funny thing. I don’t know if you can see it out there. Does anybody have good eyes out there because this is OK? I just got this study. Somebody handed it to me. So we’re not as a joke. I said, anybody have any tic tacs? And the guy said, yeah, I have one. Look at the size of that sucker. Could you? Can you see that, Pete? This is called Biden tic -tacs. Can you see it, Tom? This costs more money than the one that was like 10 times bigger. This is inflation. That’s a perfect — the guy actually handed me, do you have any tic -tacs? Yeah, here, take mine, sir. I can say, what the hell is that? I’m never going to lose this. This is going to be a part of our — Terrible. But Americans are not struggling. You know, this is the worst platform. Who put this stage up here? This is the worst — the frickin’ place is falling down. I notice it keeps tilting further left. Like too many other things. A crappy contractor this was. No, it’s true. You know, I’m known as being a pretty tough negotiator, and sometimes I get a bad rep. A contractor does a bad job. I met a lot of great contractors there, but he does a bad job. I don’t pay him. And then they say, Trump doesn’t pay his, but I pay my bills. I pay the bills so fast that they’re good. But this happens to be, look, the teleprompter is useless. It fell down. I don’t know why it fell down. It’s not like, I don’t mind. I’ve lost teleprompters to wind. There’s no wind in here. So why the hell did it fall down? Did you see it? It fell down. I’m standing here listening to the great Lee Greenwood and the teleprompter falls off the stage. Now I put my hand on this thing and the thing tilts over. This is not, I think it was Emmer. Maybe Emmer doesn’t like me. No, this sucker is really tenuous, I’m telling you. This, at some point, I’ll be, I won’t leave and we’ll finish up, but this sucker is gonna be sitting down there on the floor. I’ve never had this before. I’ve never had a podium that’s falling down. I’ve had teleprompters. You know, I was in Ohio. In fact, our great Senator from, yeah, from North Dakota, you were there for somebody that’s gonna win, I think, Bernie Marino. And we had 45 mile an hour winds. We had 25, 28 ,000 people. By the way, in New Jersey last weekend, we had 107 ,000 people. That’s a poll, right? That’s a poll. But we were in there to help Bernie Marino get elected. Running for the Senate, he’s doing well. And we had 45 mile an hour winds. And we had two teleprompters that were going like this. And then one broke and fell. I was waiting for that to happen. And I’m supposed to be speaking for an hour and a half and I’m saying, we’re all by ourselves up here. We got no teleprompter at this stage, but at least we had winds. Here we don’t have anything that’s falling apart. This is what happens in America when you don’t do things right. We don’t like that, do we? We don’t like that. out like that. But Americans are not struggling to make ends meet because they’re buying too many snicker bars. We don’t talk about that. They’re struggling because we have the worst, most incompetent, most corrupt president in the history of our country without without question. One of the most vicious effects of the Biden inflation tax is how Crooked Joe has made it impossible for millions of Americans, especially young Americans to buy a home, a car, or even make their rent. You know, young Americans are getting out of high school and getting out of college and it’s a disaster for them. They’ve never had anything like it. They’ve never had anything like it. High inflation means that high prices, high interest rates, high mortgage rates and death for the American dream. It really is. It’s death. You know, we talk about death and a lot of farmers here. For farmers that I took great care of, we got them $28 billion from China. Can you imagine? Do you think Biden thinks about getting you money from China? He thinks about giving them money, but we have $28 billion we got you, but we also got rid of the estate tax on your farms and small businesses. Because a lot of people, you know, they love their family. They love their family, and they want to. Now, if you don’t love your family, then you shouldn’t leave it to them. And is there anybody in the room that doesn’t love their family? Because I actually have three or four people, usually, when we do, they raise their hand. In which case, this tax doesn’t help you much. But we gave you, we got rid of the death tax or the inheritance tax on small farms and businesses. And that’s a big thing. But remember this, it’s all going back. If Biden gets elected, how the hell do you elect this guy? Who would elect this guy? He’s destroyed our country. He’s destroyed our country. You know, I have great respect for the office of the president, for the presidency, and I would never speak about him that badly. But then they did something that is unthinkable. They took a president that got 75 million votes, more votes than any president in the history of our country, sitting president, no sitting president, even come close to that. And they indicted him for nothing. And you see what’s happening, all falling apart. It was a nothing and then they indicted him again. Then we had Fannie, Fannie Wade, you know, I call her Fannie Wade, took the surname of her great lawyer boyfriend. We hired him because of his expertise. He never did it before. They paid him almost a million dollars. They traveled all over the world. Didn’t they take nine trips to him? I don’t think you, what was the last time you took nine trips? He didn’t take nine trips in his entire tenure as a politician in this state. I guarantee, and your wife wouldn’t let you, she wants you to work hard. But they took nine trips in like eight months. In other words, they were taking trips and then they said, oh, well, he’s paying. He’s being paid. So think of this. So he’s getting almost a million dollars and he’s taking her for these lovely cruises, Norwegian cruise lines. Oh, that’s beautiful. These people are just beautiful. And they’re going on Norwegian and they’re going all over different trips to Alaska, to Europe, all over the place. She wants to indict me for, for like mobster stuff, okay, mobster stuff when I didn’t do anything wrong. You know, today, if you say, I don’t believe the election results are correct, they want to indict you because they don’t like talking about it because you’re coming too close to home. But we talk about it and we’re proud to talk about it. And if you’re chilled, you’re going to have very dishonest elections. And the biggest risk we have here is exactly that, because we have plenty of votes here. We’re going to win. But the biggest fear and the biggest, because so many people say, will it happen again? Will it? And we have great people. But these people were born to cheat. You know, they’re born to cheat. They have no shame. But think of it, Fani. It’s F -A -N -I, but they pronounce it Fani. How do you, if you had the name, if you had the name F -A -N -I, it’s called Fani, right? How do you get Fani? I think when she became the DA, she gave it a little Frenchie stuff, you know? Fani. Fani Wade. It’s Fani Willis. We call her Fani Wade because her boyfriend, she’s so in love with him. And here’s the beauty though. Think about her. You guys have all seen this whole deal. So she said, no, no, we took trips. Yes, we took trips. And then she realized that, well, she paid for the trip because she paid him, you know, all this, almost a million, probably more than that. And they used that money to pay. So then she said, no, no, I didn’t pay for, I paid cash. That’s right, I paid cash. Now she’s got a real problem. Because now they’re saying, where’d she get the cash? But they don’t go after the Democrats. They only go after the Republicans. Think of it. She said she paid cash. She didn’t pay cash as she would have. But if she paid cash, it’s a bigger problem, right? Now she has a real problem. Where’d she get the cash? But they leave her alone. She’s now running for office. And they leave her alone. These are corrupt people. These are bad people. Very bad people. We have deranged Jack Smith in New York. He’s a deranged individual, Washington. And he has destroyed a lot of lives over the years. And always seems to get overturned because he goes too far. He’s a deranged individual. And now you find out that in Florida, he tampered with the evidence. You saw that, right? He tampered with the evidence. He got his hand caught in the cookie jar. You know the expression? But this is what we have. And they’re using, they’ve weaponized, they’ve weaponized Biden. They’ve weaponized, they call it lawfare. And I call it warfare because we have to fight these people strong. If you’re a congressman, a great one. Like Michelle or Pete. When you get a subpoena one day, you’re out of business. You’re out. You might as well just, just a subpoena. Pete gets a subpoena. He doesn’t want to hear about it. Michelle gets a subpoena. That’s what they do. They’ve used this as a weapon. This is cheating on election, no different than they did four years ago. This is cheating on elections. Today I saw in Washington, D .C., there’s a lockbox. Looks nice, except there’s a problem. The door is open on the bottom, the big door. It’s totally open. They’re taking pictures of it. This is a whole big scam. They have lockboxes all over the place. It’s a whole big scam, hundreds of millions of dollars going in, and that’s what we have to be careful of, because we have all the votes we need. We have all the votes. You don’t have that problem in North Dakota like we have, but I’ll tell you what. We have all the votes we need, and I’m counting on the chairman and Tom and everybody to make sure that Just just give us an honest count. We’re going to turn this date for the first time since 1952. But it’s true. I never talked this way because, you know, I used to treat Biden with a little respect. Not a lot, but a little more than he deserves. And and, you know, talk about he didn’t do a good job. But now I say he’s the worst president. He’s incompetent. He’s a not a smart person. He has no idea. Can’t he can’t find the stairs to a stage. See all the stairs we have. We’ve got more stairs here. They’re all over the place. How the hell do you not find him? You can walk in any direction. And yet he you ever watch him. He goes like this. And then he and so far he’s doing good because there’s a stair over there. But then he walks into a wall and stuff. Thank God for the secret service. They usually run up, take them. This is what we’re running against. How the hell do they get 50 percent of the vote? They start off with a big advantage. Remember that they start off with a big advantage. They start off with, you know, certain votes that they get almost automatically. But we’re going to be getting a lot of those votes this time. I think we’re actually going to be getting a lot of those union votes that they typically get. I think we’re going to get a lot of the union votes. United auto workers are fed up with United auto workers in terms of their leadership. But I think we’re getting that. I think we’re getting a lot of teamsters voting for us. We’re doing polls. We’re like an 82 percent and tough to get the top guys. But I think we’re going to get some top guys very soon. So I think we’re really eating into them. African -Americans, Hispanic -Americans. We’re getting numbers like nobody’s ever seen before. So we have to put it away. We have to be careful. Guard the vote. I call it guard the vote. Mr. Chairman, we have to guard we have to guard the vote and we have to make sure that vote is counted and they don’t add ballots and all of the other things that they do. They’ll do anything. They have no shame. On day one, we will throw out Bidenomics and we will reinstate Meganomics. We’re going to have Meganomics. We’re going to make it the most exceptional. We will be again the most successful country in the world. We’ll stop the Biden stupid spending spree. We’ll end his inflation death spiral. This is a death spiral. We’ll terminate his green new scam. You know what the green new scam is, right? And we’re going to drill baby drill like we’ve never drilled before. And we’re going to bring down energy prices and you have very high energy prices here. And you know what I did for you up north? Nobody’s ever done what I did for you. And they ended it immediately, right? Didn’t they end it immediately? It’s like they came in and they just ended it for no reason. They don’t even know why they ended it. It was perfect what we did. And I get so many thanks. I remember when I did it, I was here. and miners and people were coming up to me and they had tears in their thank you sir for giving us our livelihood back and then they ended it like in the first couple of days of the administration it’s along with many other things like the Keystone pipeline and lots of other things that should have never been ended but just as I did before I will rescue Minnesota from and I’m going to rescue Minnesota from all of the ravages you’ve been and we’re going to rescue the Iron Range again we’re going to rescue the Iron Range before I took office the Obama Biden administration had wiped out the Iron Range every job it was gone seven plants were idled in 2000 workers were laid off immediately and then it got worse and worse but after and I came up here and I met some people and they just told me it took me about a figure a minute and a half to figure it out and I opened it up like nobody’s ever opened it up and it was doing great and then these people came in they closed it I don’t know they closed it nobody knows why they said the environment it’s not the environment but after I imposed powerful tariffs on foreign steel the Iron Range came roaring back to life I put big tariffs because China was dumping massive amounts of steel in our country and killing all of our steel companies the people that like me the most actually are the steel guys they like me they say thank you you saved our businesses but now they’re sort of siphoning it off and it’s not a pretty picture I tell you these people what they’re doing to this country are between the border where millions of people are coming in I mean think of it millions and millions of people are coming into our country from mental institutions and from jails prisons they’re coming in they’re pouring in we have terrorists coming in we’re gonna do a massive deportation but we have no choice it’s not like not like we have a choice and we start with the criminals hundreds of thousands of criminals are coming into our country hundreds of thousands iron ore shipments out of the support of Duluth’s sword by nearly 50% under the Trump administration. I rescinded the federal withdrawal of, in superior, you know, superior national forests. Did anybody ever hear of superior national forests? Good. Well, I opened it up. What’s wrong with that? You know, they close it. They say, we don’t want to, I don’t know these people. I think they just want to make your lives miserable and destroy our country. It’s so crazy. I mean, you know, seriously, like, why would they want an open border? Why do they want high interest rates? Why do they want to quadruple your taxes, which is what is going to happen? All those things we talked about, I mean, it’s going to happen. Why do they want to have men playing in women’s sports? They want men. You got to look at the weightlifting records. A record that stood for 18 years, 18 years, it stood, it was solid. They just couldn’t break it. Those beautiful, powerful, extremely strong women. There weren’t too many men could lift like — but these are men, so — but extremely strong women. And they were looking, and they put a quarter of an ounce — think of that — a quarter of an ounce there, a quarter of an ounce there on the barbell. And they get up, and they lift that sucker. They’re going to do it. Mom’s in the first row, right where you are, beautiful woman. And she’s so proud of her daughter. My daughter’s going to lift that — Mom, I’m ready. I’ve been working 10 years for this. I’m ready. Olympic tryouts, right? And she gets it up. Huh. Mom, I don’t know, Mom. This is getting — this is a heavy sucker. Huh. Oh, Mom. I can’t do it. Wow. Boom. Can’t do it. She couldn’t do it. Just that little extra they couldn’t do. This guy who transitioned — he transitioned. Thank you very much. He comes in. Have you lifted before? No, not much. He goes, how much is a 2 .8, you know? I should be able to do that. He walks up to the — They put 30 more pounds on. Well, I mean, what did he break it by? Like hundreds of pounds, Tom. And then you allow this to happen in Congress? The worst is the swimming. How about the swimming? Right? How about the swimming records? These are records that women won’t be breaking, maybe in about 400 years, if everything goes well. But with the kind of idiots we have running this country, not a lot of people will be left, because the power of weaponry today is very scary. We could very well end up in the next five months in a World War III because we have incompetent people. He’s an incompetent person. Joe Biden is incompetent. And let me just tell you. I would have never said — He’s grossly incompetent. Everything he’s done. Look at Afghanistan, the way they — I was leaving Afghanistan. We’re going to leave with dignity and strength and our equipment, and we’re going to stay in Bagram. And we were taking the soldiers out last, right? Last. You don’t take them out first. We took them out first, and then they were free to have — they had a free -for -all. But we were going to keep Bagram, the big air base. You know who has Bagram right now? It’s only one hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons. You know who has it now? China has it now. The guy is just a horrible thing. So when he did that, I said, now the gloves are off, I can say anything I want. Think of it. Alphonse Capone, the great — has anyone ever heard of Alphonse Garface? Has anyone? This was not a nice person. Even Doug would have a hard time living with him. You would say, did you get the hell out of here? This guy’s dangerous. No, if he didn’t like you for dinner, he would kill you. You would never be found — let’s put it this way. Do you have any wetlands around or swamps? Because he liked wetlands, you know? He just dumped them in the wetlands. But, Alphonse Capone. was indicted less than me. I was indicted over a short period of time, four times. My whole life, I never even heard of the word. And now, all of a sudden, I’m like a professional. And my father, who was a straight guy, he was a straight arrow, no games. He was all business. He was just a good man, but he was all business. He’s looking down right now with my beautiful mother, and they’re saying, my son got indicted four times. That’s more than Alphonse Capone. What the hell is going on? That country is going haywire. No, but this is, they’ve used this. This is, they’ve weaponized the DOJ. And these are local prosecutors, but they’ve weaponized local prosecutors. They’ve taken people from the DOJ, and they’ve put them into local offices. They’ve weaponized the whole thing. And if you’re a normal but a very good politician, and you get a subpoena, you get some form of a grand jury notice, you’re sort of out of business. You know what you say, like hundreds have said before, I will go home now to my family. I will work on my relationship with my family, and I will fight for my name. And by the way, that’s the last you’ve ever heard of that person, he’s gone, because they’ve weaponized, and that’s what their form of cheating is now. And if you’re a congressman or a senator or anything, at least I have a voice so I can get up and say, here’s what the indictment is, and I can explain it. And a poll came out today, 88% say that these indictments are bullshit. So that’s a very positive thing. And more importantly, my poll numbers are much higher than they would have been without it. You know, they’ve gone too far. In fact, I heard they were coming down with another one, they called in for, what, don’t do it! We’re gonna indict this guy into the White House, don’t do it, you ever hear that? No, my poll, I don’t think my poll numbers, Tom, what do you think, I don’t think my poll numbers would be as high, and it’s not a pleasant thing. You know, I have a judge in New York who’s totally conflicted, totally conflicted. This man is the most conflicted judge. that you could ever have in history. And I hate to say a man’s crooked, but he’s so conflicted it becomes crooked. And this is what we have, this is what we have, and it’s a very sad thing. But when you explain it, I have a big platform, like these things and lots of them, and I can get on television whenever I want, I can explain a lot of work, but my poll numbers are much higher, I think. Wouldn’t you say? They’re much higher than they would have ever been, Doug. Much higher. So we get something out of it. We get something out of it, but you have to do a lot of work, and it’s a very unfair situation, but they weaponize it. That’s their current form of cheating. And this never happened in the United States before. This happened with this horrible president who’s just a, he’s destroying our country, he’s destroying our country, he’s a horrible human being, too. And then they go, you know, it’s all disinformation. His biggest disinformation, he’s a non -athlete. Okay, I’m a very good golfer. I’m a very good golfer. I really am one twenty nine thirty Twenty -nine club championships. It’s a lot twenty nine club championships and he can’t play and He said the other day. It’s all disinformation I’ll play Trump at any time. I’ll give him three aside. He’s gonna give me three aside Did you ever see him swing is like this? The guy I don’t believe he can hit a ball 50 yards I’ve seen I know I know sports very well and I know golf very well and I know good golfers I can look at a guy take a practice swing before the round starts I can tell you whether or not he or she could play This guy has no and he said they asked him what his handicap is I’m a six point two six point two, you know, six point two is a very good player He’s a six point two. It’s got to be that extra little point two, you know, like I’ve never even heard of it I played only about 40 freaking years. I’ve never heard of a six point two. I’ve heard of a six I’ve heard of a seven, but I’ve never heard of a six point two, but he wants to make it like accurate You know, like in other words like it exists He’s all about Disinformation pilots come in. He said I used to fly a plane Truckers come in. I used to drive a truck People come in from Minnesota. I used to live in Minnesota Right He is so full of shit this guy Terrible Terrible Terrible No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Thank you, everyone. True. True. It’s… Now, the fake news back there, they’ll say, Oh, he used foul language. Every once in a while, you have a good… Every once in a while, you have to use, you know, there’s just no other word to describe it, right? Say, he didn’t use nice words. He didn’t use nice words. It doesn’t work quite the same, does it, huh? But now it’s sad what’s happening. It’s sad what’s happening, because it’s not based on anything. And he was never a smart person. He was always — you know, I knew Ted Kennedy very well and, for some reason, very different persuasion politically. But he lived in Palm Beach largely. You know, they had the Kennedy compound, and I was there for a long time. And I did him a big favor one time. And he liked me. I liked him. I got along with him, but, you know, very different in a lot of ways. But I said, who’s the smartest person in the Senate? He said, the smartest person gave me a name. I won’t tell you because he’s still around and I can’t stand the guy. Okay. I said, who’s the dumbest person in the US Senate? He said, probably Joe. I said, who the hell is Joe, Joe Biden? He said, he doesn’t understand the basic concepts of taxation of foreign. He doesn’t anytime it gets a little bit complex. He just doesn’t understand. And he’s our president now. And that was when he was in primetime. He’s not primetime anymore. But less than four years ago, we had the most secure border in US history. We ended catch and release, built 571 miles aboard a wall and got Mexico to send 28 ,000 soldiers to our border free of charge. I said to the president, we need your soldiers. Why? I said, because you’ve got caravans. I came up with that name. I’m good with names. You know, I come up with a lot of good names, a lot of them I can’t use again because they were against my Republican opponent and now I get along with them, you know? But we’ve come up with a lot of good names. Pocahontas was a good name, I think. That actually drove her out of the presidential run, right? Pocahontas, so many good names, but it’s a caravan. It’s like a caravan. I came up with that. It’s thousands of people walking through Mexico. So I said to the president, you got to give us 28 ,000 soldiers. I want them now and they got to stop people from pouring over our border, you know, over the border while we’re building the wall. We’re building the wall. We did far more than I said we were going to do. And I had another 200 miles of wall already built, ready to be put up, could have been done in three weeks. And that’s when I realized I didn’t want to put it up. And the reason they didn’t because they did want open borders. I couldn’t even believe it. It doesn’t make sense. An open border doesn’t make sense. You can let people in, but you got to know something about the people. They’re coming in from all over the world, not just South America. So I said to him, you got to give us 28 ,000 soldiers. He left. at me. Oh, that’s so funny. Why would we do that? I said, because you’re letting people come through your country and they’re pouring into our country. You have to do it. And I really like him too. I’m low. I really like him. He’s a good guy socialist, but that’s okay. You know, what the hell? You get along with people. Well, I got along with a lot of them, but I was the toughest president during Russia. I stopped the pipeline. You know, they always say he was very nice to Russia. No, I was the worst to Russia, but I got along with Putin. We got along. It’s nice to get along with somebody that has a nuclear capability, right? It is. I got along with him, but he said, I’d hate like hell to see if you weren’t nice, because if you’re the nicest, I ended the biggest job they’ve ever done, the pipeline. When Biden came in, he approved it. And then they say he was soft on Russia. I was the worst on Russia. By the way, Russia would have never attacked Ukraine if I were president. Never. Not even a possibility. And Israel wouldn’t have happened. October 7th would have never happened. They would have — because Iran was broke under me. I said to China, I said to everybody, every nation, you’d want to buy from Iran, you want to buy oil? You’ll never do business in the United States again. And they didn’t want to take a chance, and they didn’t. And Iran was broke. They had no money for terror. But we did a hell of a job, and people are realizing it. I think that’s why we’re up in just about every poll. Nationally, swing states, and now even your state. That was a big story, you know, because it came out two days ago, and it showed we were one point down. Another one came out, we were one point up. But when it came out that, in Minnesota, we’re tied or up a little bit or maybe down just a little bit, everyone was so impressed. And I’m saying, like, why wouldn’t we be up a lot? I have a friend. He’s a very smart guy, but not political. And I had a poll come out last week. I’m up eight over Biden, nationally. But no, but his attitude was, could I ask you a question? How could you only be up eight points on this guy? That was a, you know, a question I get a lot. It’s almost embarrassing, to be honest with you. Crooked Joe came in and turned our country into a dumping ground for other nations. They dump everything right into our country. In Venezuela, violent crime was 67 percent two months ago. It’s now 72 percent. It’s down. Violent crime in Venezuela is down 72 percent because they’re taking their gangs and inmates and criminals and drug dealers and mental patients and people from all sorts of institutions that are trouble. And they deposit them in the wonderful USA. They’re dumping everybody into the USA. Pretty soon we’re going to say, let’s go for a vacation to Venezuela because it’s safer than the United States. And I’m serious. It is so terrible what they’re doing. They’re dumping from all over the world, the Congo. They come from the Congo, from prisons. In the Congo, in Africa. But they’re coming from Africa. They’re coming from Asia. They’re coming from all over the world. They’re coming from the Middle East, and they’re coming from really bad places, and they’re putting them in our beautiful country. They’re destroying our country. This idiot, this stupid, stupid man is destroying our country. He doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing. He doesn’t know what he’s doing. Just days ago, an illegal alien was arrested in the sanctuary state of California. Isn’t that wonderful sanctuary? Sounds so nice, isn’t it? Sanctuary in charge with sadistically raping two women last week in the back of a windowless van that police said was disgustingly outfitted as a, quote, a rape dungeon on wheels. That’s what it was. They went around raping women all over the place. Nobody did anything about it. Detectives believe this monster had many more victims whom he drove late at night into remote mountain areas, and in many cases would kill them. When I return to the White House, we will stop the plunder, rape, slaughter, and destruction of our American suburbs, cities, and towns. We’re going to stop it fast. We will shut down immediately all deadly sanctuary cities. We’re going to close them down. And, you know, the people in sanctuary states, they don’t want them. They really don’t want them. It’s not so bad. If you would have said that five years ago, seven years ago. But the people, they don’t want them. They don’t want that. They don’t want sanctuary cities. It’s the politicians that do somehow it’s good politically. I don’t actually think it is. But we’re going to shut them down. I’ll shift massive portions of federal law enforcement to immigration enforcement. I came in and saved a couple of your cities. Remember that. You remember that, right? Remember that I came in with a big force that we saved. And Minneapolis, we really saved. Remember that idiot from CNN? Oops, I shouldn’t say that I’m doing a debate for them. They’ll be slightly tougher. No, I have fake tappers. They said, I just wanted to bait this guy. But, you know, and I’m going to I’m going to demand a drug test, too, by the way. I am. No, I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite. I said, is that Joe up there? A beautiful row. And by the end of the evening, he’s like, well, it was exhausted, right? Now, we’re going to demand a drug test. But fake tapper and these people, they’re going to be fine. They’re going to be fair. I think they’re going to be fair. And if they’re not, you know, you have to deal with it, right? You have to deal with it. But I just wanted to accept. And, you know, the only one who wanted to do it on basically CNN and another agree to two of them, I guess. And they just agreed or something to a vice president debate. I said, how can I have a vice president debate? I haven’t even picked. I haven’t even picked the gentleman or woman yet. I haven’t picked. A lot of people think it’s that guy right there. I don’t know who the hell knows. These would be very good. We have a lot of them would be good, Doug, right? We have a lot of good people. But as you may know, in addition to the millions of people pouring across our border, Joe Biden is now reportedly planning to bring in massive numbers of Gazans from the Middle East and resettle them in American communities. I can’t believe you don’t with Tlaib and AOC plus three and all of these things. You don’t like that. And I’m surprised in Minnesota. I thought you were a very liberal place. I thought you were very liberal. I’m so surprised. So disappointed. You’ve had enough, right? They’re saying in Minnesota, I’ve done my share. Let’s end this stuff. Let’s end it. And now it’s it’s pretty amazing, actually. How about where they were flying? And did you see it got caught two months ago, everyone’s, you know, the pouring through. that we found out that they’re flying them over the border, freely flying thousands and thousands of people over the borders into little towns and great states that they didn’t do anything to deserve this, and they’re being swamped now. I just don’t understand the thinking, you know? We’re really, you know, some people say, you’re conservative, or I say, yeah, I’m conservative, I guess, but I’m really more of a common -sense person. I think we’re the party of common sense. I’d almost rather. And that means you need borders, you need a strong military, you need good education, try and get low interest rates, low taxes, but basically, it’s sort of mostly common sense. Like, we just went over men and women’s sports. We don’t want to have men in women’s sports. It’s actually very dangerous, you know? Women are being very badly hurt. Now they want to do boxing. They want to have women in boxing. You can’t do these things, okay? You can’t do these things. And professional boxers know it very well because they play around. They say, you can’t have women in boxing, but they actually want to have women in boxing. The whole thing is crazy. And I think, you know, we’re really the party of common sense. I’m making a speech in a week to the, let’s see, what would I call it? A couple of parties that generally don’t vote for us, but they would be with us. They vote for that party. And I’m making a speech that’s a little bit of a secret right now, but I’m making a speech to a certain group of people that get 3 or 4 percent. You know who I’m talking about, right? The libertarians, they’re great people, and they are based largely on common sense. And I say, you know, they get 3 or 4 percent. The libertarians get 3 or 4 percent every year, no matter who runs. And every one of those votes is a Republican vote. Wouldn’t you say, I mean, I think every one of those votes, Mr. Chairman, is a Republican vote. And I’m going to say, why aren’t we doing this together? Why are we doing this? You know, you’re going to get your 3 percent. You’re going to feel wonderful, but you’re not going to get anything. There’s no value in that. But you add that 3 percent to us, and we can’t lose. We’ll win by record number. members. And that’s basically my speech. It’s very simple. That’s basically my speech. But they’ll be coming from one of the biggest terrorist havens on the planet, the place where the October 7th attack was planned. I mean, they’re coming in from places like that and they’re coming into our country. And they launched the attack right from the areas where they’re coming into our country. It’s not we can’t let this happen. We have to stop it. We’re not going to have a country. We’re poisoning our country. These people will be impossible to vet. The vast majority support Hamas and even neighboring countries like Egypt and Jordan don’t want them. You know, Jordan doesn’t want them. Egypt doesn’t want them. They don’t want them. But Crooked Joe Biden says, we’ll take them here. It’s nothing but trouble. You know, you’ve heard the snake quite a bit, right? Everybody heard the snake. I should have brought it. I should have done the snake. But but basically you take snakes and you’re going to get bit. And we’re taking people that are people that other people don’t want, and I guess for a reason. You know, neighbors don’t want to take them, any of them. And it’s a sad thing. It’s a very sad thing. But we have to be very, very vigilant. Look, we have a country that’s very fragile. We have a country that could very quickly end up in World War III because we have stupid people running our country. We were guaranteed no wars. All of these things wouldn’t have happened. Think of it. That Ukraine wouldn’t have happened, inflation wouldn’t have happened, Israel attack wouldn’t have happened. None of it would have happened. President Xi wouldn’t be flying planes all over the place, over Taiwan. He wasn’t going to do that. He would have never done that with me as president. And everybody admits it, even the Democrats admit it. But it’s no wonder Joe Biden and his thugs are so desperate to stop us, and they know that we are the only ones who can stop them. You know, this MAGA movement, Make America Great Again, Joe. You know the way he says, we’re going to stop the MAGA movement. He doesn’t have any idea what MAGA means. No, he has no idea what MAGA means. We will stop the MAGA movement. Pause. Oh, pause. Remember that one? This is what we’re dealing with. And you know, in the debate, you notice we’ll have debates. I think, you know, we’re going to have this debate, sort of. If he makes it through the debate, and I think he will, they’ll say it was the finest debate performance in history. There was no way that Trump could have competed with the intellect. This is the greatest ever. I watched after that horrible State of the Union speech on CNN and MS DNC, where they go. That’s MS Democratic National Committee. For those of you that aren’t very, MS DNC, it is MS DNC. Terrible people. Terrible, terrible sick people. But I watched where they were saying how great this was. This was the greatest performance since FDR. You know, FDR had the golden, the golden tone. And he would sit up and he’d give State of the Union speech. FDR, beautiful voice, beautiful, very highly educated guy and beautiful tone. We will fight and nobody will beat us. We will fight and fight and fight. And you know, he’d do it so beautifully. And then Joe Biden, uh, do you ever notice he’s always like, how the hell did this ever happen to our country? He’s always coughing, but it’s not like a cough. He puts his hand up. Then he walks out. He starts shaking people’s hands. I don’t want to say. Do you ever notice how many people don’t want to shake his head? The people don’t want to shake his hand. It’s disgusting. The radical left Democrats rigged the presidential election in 2020, and we are not going to allow them to rig the presidential election in 2024. Thank you. Mr. Chairman, you have a lot of spirit in this room, you know. You’re sitting on a wild pony. Chairman, you’re sitting on a wild pony. You got to pull that pony. You got to get it going. Everybody has to get out and vote. That’s the big thing. They told me to say that, sir, could you please say, because we have a lot of people. You know, some people, they love us, but they don’t tend to vote. I don’t know for whatever reason. But they love us more than they’ve ever loved anybody. But they don’t vote. We got to get them out to vote. We do that. Then they can cheat a little bit at least, you know, because because they will cheat a little bit. You know, you can’t stop them. I saw a news announcer the other night on television. They were talking about a certain state. And they said, well, you have to win it by at least five or six points more because they cheat. And they’re talking about this on, like, a program. I say, isn’t that terrible when they’re allowed to say that, where they’re allowed to say that you have to win by six points because they cheat? So we can’t do that. But we’re going to get everybody out to vote. There’s more spirit now than there was in 2016 or 2020. And we got a lot of votes. But by a lot. Because they’ve had four years of watching. You know, when I did 2016, the border was a big issue. I almost got elected on the border and the border was bad. But it was nothing compared to this. It was like a peanut. It was like 5% compared to this. I fixed the border and the border in 2020 was not an issue. Just wasn’t an issue. I used to kill people. tell my people backstage, these genius people, I say, I want to talk about the border. Sure, they don’t want to hear about the border. You fixed it. I said, isn’t that lousy? You do a good job. You can’t talk about it anymore. But we still got millions of votes more, but I couldn’t talk because we fixed it. But this border is many times worse. This isn’t just a little bit. This is many, many times worse than it was. It was peanuts compared to what it is now. This is the worst border in the history of the world. There’s never been a country in history that had a border like this that’s leaking. And we have at least 15 or 16 million people. That’s bigger than almost every state. We have at least 15 or 16 million people. It could be much higher than that, have poured into our country, and we have no idea who they are. And bad things are going to happen, and we have to get them out of here fast because bad, bad things are going to happen. Every time the radical left Democrats, Marxists, communists, and fascists indict me, I considered a great badge of honor. I really do, actually. You’re lucky to have me instead of some stiff that would crawl into a corner. They’d crawl into a corner. Mommy, mommy, I don’t like this job. Mommy take me home, they’d say. I had so much fun. Darling, I have a little bad news for you. Go home to our great first lady who says hello, by the way. They love our first lady. I had my very tall son get today graduated from high school. All six foot nine, six foot nine. He was easy to spot. You look over there and you have this one kid like six foot nine. But he got good marks. He’s a good boy. It was a big day. Actually, you know, for a while the judge said you can’t go to your son’s graduation. But but the it was it was a lot of people not happy about that. But it was a beautiful it was a beautiful thing to watch. But if you think about what we’re doing and what I’m doing, I’m being indicted for you and never forget our enemies want to take away my freedom because I will never let them take away your freedom. Thank you. Thank you. They want to silence me because I will never let them silence you. And in the end, they’re not really after me. They’re after you. And I’m just standing in their way. And I always will. I’ll be standing right in their way. They’re not doing anything to you. From the very first day that we take back the White House from Crooked Joe Biden, I believe we’re going to see some of the greatest years ahead ever with so much potential in our country that’s untapped. They’ve just turned off everything. They’ve turned on a lot of things, and they’re all bad. Everything they did was just bad. In my first four years, we ended the disaster known as NAFTA, the worst trade deal ever made in the history of our country, and replaced it. Everyone said you’ll never be able to end it. We got it ended by Congress, right, Pete? And replaced it with the brand -new USMCA, the best trade deal ever made. It’s a fantastic, giant win for Minnesota farmers and dairy producers and manufacturers and everyone else, and I know it’s good because Mexico and Canada are dying to change it. They’re trying to get to change. And this guy will probably give them a change. Don’t do it, Joe. Don’t do it. I took on Communist China like no administration in history, bringing hundreds of billions of dollars pouring into our treasury, when no other President had gotten even 10 cents from China. And I think I made people aware that China is a threat, certainly an economic threat. And we took in hundreds of billions of dollars from China. I then gave $28 billion, as I said, to the farmer. And in my next term, I will pass the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act. You know what that is? If China or any other country makes us pay a single dime, if they make us pay, let’s say, 100 or 200 percent tariff, which they do, we will make them pay a reciprocal tariff of 100 or 200 percent right back. In other words, you screw us and we screw you. And you know, a lot of politicians and a lot of senators, one of them is not that much into the economic world. And I said, I want your support. We were all set to do that until COVID came in. Then we had to focus on the COVID stuff, which was a terrible gift from China. And we did a great job on it with the therapeutics and everything else. But when we left the stock market, it was higher than it was pre -COVID. I mean, it was sort of an amazing thing. We did a good job on it. We never got credit. I got credit for the military. I got credit for knocking out ISIS, Soleimani, al -Baghdadi. I got a lot of credit, Space Force. But we never got credit for the job we did for the job we did, you know, with this unknown dust that happened to fly in from China, the pandemic, the, as they call it, COVID, as I call it, the China virus. We want to be accurate. A gift from China. But unlike Joe Biden, who will destroy Medicare and Social Security with his border invasion, you know, when you let millions of people come into our country, you’re destroying Medicare. You’re destroying your hospitals. You’re destroying Social Security. I’ll always protect Medicare and Social Security for our great seniors. They deserve it. They deserve it. They have to be protected. We’ll never change it. And I didn’t change it. We’ve also gotten abortion out of the federal government and back to the states, which is a very big thing. thing we have to talk about, because a lot of Republican politicians really don’t know how to talk about it. If you remember what when you look at Roe v. Wade, the big thing was getting it out of the federal government. Every legal scholar, every legal analyst, everybody wanted it back. Democrats wanted it. Everybody wanted it back. And we got it back. We took it back and we put it into the hands of the states. And now it’s up to the people. The people are voting all over the country. They just voted in Ohio. And frankly, it was a more liberal vote than a lot of people thought. But what it is, is it’s the vote of the people. They just voted in Kansas. It was a far more. I won both those states by a lot, but it was a far more liberal vote. And in some cases you have a little bit of the opposite. But we took it out of the federal government where it never belonged. And this used to be only a question of will it be in the federal government? Is it in the federal government? Nobody wanted it in the federal. They wanted it back in the states, and now the states are deciding. And I think we’ve made an issue that was a very nasty issue, a very complex issue, very bad issue, frankly. I think we’ve made it much simpler, and I think we’ve made it much more fair. If the radical Democrat extremists get their way, they will have a federal law for abortion in the seventh, eighth, ninth month, and even executing a baby after birth. If you remember the governor, the former governor, Democrat of Virginia, he said, we’ll talk to the mother, we’ll talk to the father. If the baby’s born, we’ll put the baby aside. And then essentially he said, we’ll execute the baby after birth. We’ll make a decision on what to do with the baby. We don’t want that. They’re the radical ones. We’re not the radical ones. They’re the radical ones, and you have to remember. And you also have to remember that every voter has to go with your heart. You have to go with your heart and your beliefs and do what’s right. But you have to think about one thing. We have to get elected. You have to get elected. And if you can’t get elected, then not only the abortion issue, but you have many, many other issues that are very powerful, very big issues, like issues that run our country. We have to get elected. So I want to thank the six Supreme Court justices, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett, for the wisdom and the courage that they showed on this long -term, very contentious issue. And getting it back to the states puts the question where it belongs with a vote of the people. It puts it really where it will be, the vote of the people. And it’s really been sort of amazing because it’s really calmed down a lot. I think you see that, Tom. It’s calmed down a lot. It’s now a vote of the people, and our country can finally come together. This issue has been going along for 51 years, and it’s been very, very nasty. It’s been a rough issue. maybe 10 years ago. All they talked about was they wanted to get it back to the states. We brought it back to the states, and now the states are deciding, and people are coming together. So, it’s very interesting to watch, actually, but I want to thank the justices. Before I even arrive at the Oval Office shortly after we win the presidency, we win. It’s all of us. We’re going to win it together. I will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine settled. I’ll get it. I know both of them very well. And we will build a great iron dome over our country, a dome like has never been seen before, a state -of -the -art missile defense shield that will be entirely built in America and create job, job, jobs, and much of it will be built, actually, in a place called Minnesota. A lot of it’s going to be built right here. One of the nations that are being put Don’t you think, you know, I watch Israel and I watch those rockets go up, 300 rockets go up, and virtually every one of them is knocked down? Well, we’re a big target. And the level of power, the level of power of these weapons, especially the nuclear weapons, the power is so incredible. We deserve to have a dome like other countries have domes, like Israel has a dome. Think of Israel without the dome, without the iron dome or whatever you want to call it. But that’s what it is. And it was largely manufactured and it was largely conceived by us. We can do something that was so incredible. It really will be a safety net. And I think we deserve to have it. And again, it’s made in the USA. It really works. I mean, they shut down every, I think every missile, maybe one got through, but they shut down close to 300 missiles. Now think of what would happen if they didn’t have it, 300 missiles. You might not even have an Israel right now. We need that same kind of protection for ourselves. We have to have it and we’ll do it and we’ll do it at the highest level. It’ll be an amazing thing. We’re going to give our police back their protection and we’re going to give them back their respect. As president, when the writers came to burn down Minneapolis, I insisted on sending in the National Guard to save the city. I saved your city. Remember though, Velchi, Velchi, remember Velchi. This is a peaceful protest. This is largely peaceful. The entire city was burning down behind you. Remember the scene? The fire looked like it went for miles. He’s saying, this is a peaceful protest. And then somebody threw something, hit him on the leg and he went down, right? He went down. He’s down. He’s down. It’s a peaceful. It was real peaceful. You lost half your damn city. If you didn’t have me as president, you wouldn’t have. Minneapolis today. And you wouldn’t have had a couple of other cities that we saved or little beautiful areas that we saved. We saved them for you. But what I’ll never forget the scene of this guy screaming that this is peaceful. It’s peaceful. And people are throwing everything at him, including bullets. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Where are they coming from? Under my leadership, we will stand up to the radical Marxist DAs who have set loose thousands of dangerous, horrible, dangerous criminals onto our streets. We’re going to rebuild our cities into beacons of hope, safety and beauty better than they’ve ever been before. We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D .C., and clean up, renovate and rebuild our capital so that it’s no longer a nightmare of murder and crime, but rather it will become the most beautiful capital anywhere in the world, and it will be safe for people of Minnesota to go. and see those wonderful monuments to monumental people. It will be safe. It’s a cesspool of crime and graffiti right now. You have to see our capital, what happened to our capital. They’re going to clean it up, make it more beautiful than it ever was. Be the most beautiful capital in the world. On day one, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school, pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and any other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content onto the lives of our children. And I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate. And as you’ve already heard tonight, I will keep men immediately out of women’s sports. Is that okay? I will fully uphold our great but very under siege second amendment. We’re going to withhold the powers and the beauty of our second amendment. We need our second amendment, probably more than we’ve ever needed it before. It’s under siege. Tomorrow I go to Texas, I go to Dallas, and I’m speaking before the NRA. And there’s a rumor that they’re going to give me their full endorsement, so that’s a nice endorsement again. That’s a rumor. I don’t know anything. I don’t know. I don’t know. Don’t say it. It’s only a rumor. Maybe they’re going to give it to Doug. Who the hell knows? We will protect innocent life, and we will restore free speech. And I will secure our election so importantly. You have to have borders, and you have to have free, fair elections. Our goal will be to protect innocent lives. be one day voting with paper ballots, proof of citizenship, and voter ID. We will have voter ID. But until then, Republicans must win. We have to win to put us in that position where we can make these changes. They’re not drastic changes. You know, I’ve negotiated over the last number of years with the Democrats about voting, and they never want to give up on something called voter ID. Can you believe it? Just a little take, like, this is me, this is I want to vote, pictures sort of look similar. It doesn’t even have to be perfect. We’ll take any. They don’t want to give it up. You know why? Because they want to cheat. They want to cheat. There’s only one reason. We won’t give you voter ID with the meeting start off. All right. We’re all set to start, sir. But we will not give up on voter ID. Why? Because you’re cheaters. That’s why that use the meeting. It starts there and it ends there when they don’t want to give up voter ID. We want a landslide. in your state and we want a landslide in our nation. We have a chance to have it. That is too big to rig. Okay, too big to rig. Remember, I used to say five. I used to say five. This was six months ago. Now I say 10. And I think I could make it probably 20. The view took the 10 worst presidents in the history of the United States and added them up. They would not have done near the destruction to our country as Crooked Joe Biden and the Biden administration have done. It’s true. You take the 10 worst presidents in the history of our country, the 10 worst, they will not have done the damage that this guy has done to our country just on the border alone. What he’s done, Afghanistan, the most embarrassing day in the history of our country that is not even possible to think a thing like that could happen. He took the soldiers out first. No, you stupid guy. You take the soldiers out last. And I was all set to do it. We were leaving with dignity and strength. 21 years was enough, but we were keeping Bagram because it’s one hour away. As I said, China’s where they make their nuclear weapons. But we were going to leave with dignity and strength. Instead, we left $85 billion worth of equipment behind. We lost America. We left Americans right now. They’re behind right now. There’s hundreds of Americans that didn’t get out and we lost 13 unbelievable soldiers and 38 horrifically wounded that nobody ever talks about horrifically wounded. No legs, no arms, the face, everything. And that’s what happened to us because we’re stupid. We were run by stupid people. You know, I dealt with the head of the Taliban, which is really the ones that do the killing and the ones that run Afghanistan. I dealt with his name was Abdul. And I said, Abdul, don’t kill our people anymore. Don’t do it. And I can’t really explain it. This is too tough. But I said, we will. you so hard, harder than we’ve ever hit anybody, Abdul. Don’t do it. But why, but why do you send me a picture of my home? He said to me. He said, Abdul, you have to ask one of your wives on that. I’m not giving it to you. But I said, I will, we will hit you so hard. And you know what? For 18 months, we didn’t have one soldier killed in Afghanistan, not even a soldier shot out. And then we had a rigged election. Biden took over with a rigged election, really big, badly rigged. Biden took over and look at what’s happened to our country. But just there, when they saw this guy, they went wild. And don’t kid yourself when Putin saw that horrible withdrawal, that stupid, incompetent withdrawal, Millie and all these guys that didn’t know what the hell they were doing, when he saw that, he said, wow, these guys are incompetent. Now I can finally go in and do my number on Ukraine, which was always the apple of his eye. But he would have never done that if it was me, but we would have never given him. the power to do it. The other thing that did was energy. The energy went up to close to $100 a barrel. So, all of a sudden, he’s making a fortune by going into a war. And we allowed that to happen because we had people running that are grossly incompetent. And don’t kid yourself. The biggest risk we have is the next five months. We have five months of danger to our country. We could end up in World War III because of this lunatic. We could end up in World War III, and I mean it. And one thing you’ll never have with me, you’ll never have a war. You know, Victor Orbon. He’s the head of, you know that, Hungary. Very tough guy. Considered to be very tough. He’s the Prime Minister of Hungary. They said, what’s going on with the world? The world is coming between Israel and Ukraine and China flying planes all over Taiwan. You can see they’re just itching to take that one. What’s going on? He said, only one thing, Trump isn’t here. If Trump was here, none of this would be happening. He said they were afraid of Trump. I don’t want to use that language because I don’t want people to think old or afraid of Trump. Trump, Trump. But they respected me. But he said, no, no, Trump. They were afraid of Trump. They didn’t know what the hell to do with Trump. They wouldn’t have, they would have never done it. And it is true. There’s no way Putin would have gone and there’s no way she would be doing what he’s doing right now. And October 7th, that would have never happened. And you know what else? A little something to add on. You wouldn’t have had inflation. We had no inflation because our energy prices were low. The energy caused the inflation when it went up so much. So if you want to save America, register, get an absentee or a mail -in ballot, vote early and vote on election day, you have to. Whether you vote early or not, you know, people are disputing, well, I want to vote on Tuesday. A lot of Republicans want. But whether you do it early, you vote on Tuesday. You’ve got to make sure you go and vote. You’ve got to get out and vote. You’ve got to get people that love us. They love everything we say. But they’re just not used to voting. They’re just not used to it. They have to do it. You know, it’s an amazing thing. People that have guns, people that legitimately have guns, they love guns and they use guns for the right purpose. They’re not. These are not criminals, but they tend to vote very little and yet they have to vote for us. There’s nobody else to vote for because the Democrats want to take their guns away and they will take their guns away. So you got to get all your friends that love us, respect us, but they just typically don’t vote members of the NRA. That’s why I’m going to be talking to the NRA tomorrow. So you got to get out and vote. This year election season in Minnesota begins on September 20th and goes all the way to November 5th. Isn’t that ridiculous? By the way, you know what that does? It gives them the right to cheat because all those days, all those weeks and weeks and weeks and those ballots are sitting on the floor with water pouring all over them and they shovel them. They show you ever see the way it’s like we’re like a third world country. This is going to be the most important election in the history of our country. I believe that’s so much. I used to say it with 2016. And I believed it. And then we straightened it out. We had a great economy. We rebuilt our military. We did so much. We created Space Force. We did so much. And I didn’t have to say it in 2020. I didn’t consider that the most important election. This is the most important election by far that we’ve ever had. Much more important than 2016. And in conclusion, today we’re taking on some of the most menacing forces and vicious opponents or people that our people have ever seen. We’ve never seen anything like what’s happening. But no matter how hateful and corrupt the communists and criminals we’re fighting against, maybe you must never forget this is not a nation that belongs to them. This is a nation that totally belongs to you. It belongs to you. This is your home. This is your heritage. And our American liberty is your God given right from Rochester to Duluth from Marshall to Minneapolis and from St. Cloud to St. Paul. This state has pioneered. I mean, you have been pioneered by men and women who brave the wilderness and the frontier to build a life for themselves and their families. And they love your state and they love our country. They were farmers and miners and manufacturers and shipbuilders, soldiers and lumberjacks. And they helped build this country into the single greatest nation in the history of the world. But now we are a nation in decline. We are a failing nation. We are a nation that has lost its confidence and willpower and strength. Think of that. We are a nation that has lost its confidence. But we are not going to allow this horror to continue. Less than four years ago, we were a great nation. We were respected all over the world. Everybody respected us and we will soon be a great nation again. is hardworking patriots like you who built this country, and it’s hardworking patriots like you who are going to save our country. We will fight for America like no one has ever fought before. We don’t have a choice. Twenty -twenty -four is our final battle. With you at my side, we will demolish the deep state. We will expel the warmongers from our government. We will drive out the globalists. We will cast out the communists, Marxists, and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will route the fake news media. We will drain the swamp, and we will liberate our country from these tyrants and villains once and for all. Thank you. Thank you very much. Like those patriots before us, we will not bend, we will not break, we will not yield, and we will never give in, we will never give up, and we will never, ever, ever back down. With your support, we will go on to victory, the likes of which no one has ever seen before. We will evict the worst president in the history of our country from the White House on November 5, 2024. The great silent majority is rising like never before, and under our leadership, the forgotten man and woman will be forgotten no longer. Like four years ago, you were not forgotten, but you are forgotten now. We are one movement, one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God. And together, we will make America powerful again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. We will make America free again. And we will make America great again. Thank you, everybody. Thank you. Thank you, Minnesota. God bless you, everybody. God bless you. God bless you, man.
