Donald Trump (3:14)

But Democrats also have to have a plan. They have to be credible, what they can do to actually bring prices down. Because people do remember the Biden years. So it's a very clear opportunity. And Donald Trump, I think, has an uphill fight in telling people to ignore the, the, the evidence of their own wallets.

Grant (3:36)

You see the sleight of, of, of words that play that they use. President Trump never said ignore the plight of your own wallets. He never said he doesn't feel the pain of the American worker who's paying too much for a lot of things in this country. What President Trump has said is he's bringing the prices down to a point where Joe Biden had raised them so much. This is going to take a little bit. People need to have patience. But again, the economy is moving in the right direction. This is a CNN analyst. Cut eight, if you will, for me, guys. Roll it. This is one of the burdens of.

Donald Trump (4:13)

Incumbency where you own the economy. So, yes, it's easy for Democrats to talk about affordability a year after their.

Grant (4:21)

Party left the White House, but the.

Donald Trump (4:23)

Reality is it is President Trump's watch. As much as he wants to talk about Joe Biden and he talks about him endlessly at every public event, this is the Trump economy.

Grant (4:34)

Yeah. And it's working. And we have to have patience. Now, the power of infiltrating the mind of the American viewer is very, very real. I hope I have that power over you. Certainly the Democrats have that power over their blind liberal zombies that are, that are watching every day. But I want you to look at this clip because this is Pennsylvania. Now, remember, that's a battleground state. I think Pennsylvania is a great example of how America feels. You've got working class areas. You got some wealthy neighborhoods around the big cities. Pennsylvania is America. These are Pennsylvanians sharing their thoughts on the economy. Cut 10.

Donald Trump (5:15)

President Trump has addressed a lot of my concerns. Brought the price of gas down. No two ways about it. When it comes to the economy, how would you grade his job performance? Fantastic. Confident that the tariff policies are working? Yes.

Grant (5:30)

How's the Trump economy treating you?

Donald Trump (5:32)

It's, it's doing fine. It's been rough under Biden. Things don't happen overnight. I mean, it takes time. It took time to bring it down. It's going to take time to bring it back up again.

Grant (5:43)

Now, those sound bites were on local news. The mainstream media doesn't want you to hear that. The mainstream media doesn't want you to hear that story that there are plenty of people out there that are being patient with President Trump that see things working and not to mention our communities are becoming safer and our border is secure. Those are very important people to hear from. Here's another Pennsylvania neighbor. Listen to her talk about the tariffs.

Grant (6:12)

Cut.

Donald Trump (6:13)

11 I know I hear a lot of people complain about the tariffs. I think it's the smartest thing that we could possibly do.

Donald Trump (6:23)

Get the world more on an even playing field. It's, everybody's taking advantage of us forever because we are a thriving nation and I believe we're going to continue to thrive.

Donald Trump (6:38)

All right.

Grant (6:38)

Thriving nation for sure. It's, it's important that we remain that way. And we've got now our RAV DC Congressional correspondent, Benny Ray Harmony. She's been covering this issues for, for a long time. She knows full well she's got to work right alongside these, these devious liberal reporters that, that operate in Rome, Capitol Hill. Benny Ray Harmony, thank you for coming on the program tonight.

Donald Trump (7:03)

Welcome, of course.

Benny Ray Harmony (7:05)

Thanks for having me, Grant.

Grant (7:07)

Absolutely. What do you expect President Trump to talk about today, Benny?

Benny Ray Harmony (7:12)

Well, Grant, you know, the economy and affordability has been one of his biggest topics since he ran for office. The first and the.

Donald Trump (7:21)

A clip from.

Benny Ray Harmony (7:21)

Susie Wiles from the White House. And she said, she said, we are putting a President Trump on the campaign trail again. It is time. President Trump needs to explain his plans and affordability. And I really liked those clips that you were showing earlier because those are hardworking Americans. And here's the thing, Grant, like, you know, many Americans are business owners. And guess what? President Trump is a businessman. He knows how to operate a business and he is operating the United States like that business. And I'm so sick and tired of people saying, oh, he's lying, he's saying the wrong things. He's not actually doing it. It takes time in any business plans and things, actions take a minute for them to actually go into effect. And so while I'm roaming the Hill every single day, I mean, I just saw the ABC reporter today that Trump went off on in the White House in the Cabinet meeting yesterday. And no matter what, they continue to lie. But the American people need to know that they are lies. They need to look at the fact, at the evidence. Gas is what I saw. You know, Caroline Levitt was posting yesterday about it. It's below, it's under three in almost every single state. When was the last time under Biden we had that Grant? I mean, it was so expensive under Biden, I couldn't even get gas, barely. And so it just is a continuous lie. That they're pushing and. But President Trump, he's dealt with lies for the entire time that he's been in the public eye. And I think him being on this tour and speaking, speaking about the economy, I think it's just going to further show the American people that we can trust him and that he knows what he's doing.

Grant (8:59)

Yeah. Here's my prediction. When you see President Trump next year, you're going to see him a lot on the road. It is an election year. He likes to get out with the people, and nobody can push his message better than he can. Somebody who's pretty darn good at it, though, is James Blair. He's the White House Deputy chief of staff. He was on Fox and he makes a good point here because voters do have short memories. They'll forget about Joe Biden pretty darn quickly. Americans like action and they like it very quickly. This administration is aware of that. Listen to James Blair. Cut 12.

Donald Trump (9:32)

Well, the president understands how people feel. That's why he ran for office to begin with. The message is very simple. We are trying to fix what Biden and the Democrats currently in Congress broke. They raised inflation to its highest level level ever in this country. Right. Which stole from the American people. Wages were down, prices were up.

Grant (9:51)

Pressure on both sides.

Donald Trump (9:53)

And the President is trying to make them whole. He's trying to give them back what was lost and give them more.

Grant (10:00)

All right, so there you have it. They're on the case. Benny, do you see them working as hard as ever before? Do you see it where the mainstream media doesn't.

Grant (10:11)

Grant?

Benny Ray Harmony (10:11)

I've never seen an administration work as hard as this one does. I was here in D.C. in 2021 when Biden was in presidency. And when I tell you it was silent. There was no movement. And I know that the American people want things fast. We do. But, you know, things. It's harder. It's not as easy to make things happen that fast, but the President and this administration is working hard. They are in the office every single day putting those things into place.

Donald Trump (10:40)

They.

Grant (10:41)

They most certainly are. Benny, great job as always. It's good to see you. And folks, we're getting ready for the President to take the stage.

Donald Trump (13:05)

God.

Donald Trump (13:33)

Well, this is a nice crowd. You got a lot of people.

Donald Trump (13:37)

You've got a lot of people standing outside tonight. It's freezing. They got here Yesterday, like at 2 o' clock in the morning or something. I'm worried about them. Would anybody like to give up your place?

Donald Trump (13:50)

Let some people come in from the cold? You go out to the cold? I don't think so. I just want to say hello, Pennsylvania. And I'm thrilled to be back.

Donald Trump (14:01)

Incredible commonweal with so many proud, hardworking American patriots. That's what you are. So am I. I'm a proud hard worker. I'm a proud patriot. But you're a proud patriot. Thank you very much, everybody. It's a great reception. You know, we're on to. We're on to expose what happened recently when we took over. You know, it's 10 months and already we have the largest investment ever made in the history of not our country, of any country anywhere in the world. Think of that.

Donald Trump (14:37)

But let me begin by wishing each and every one of you a very merry Christmas. Happy New Year. All of that stuff.

Donald Trump (14:46)

Remember when I started in 2015, I made my first speech and I said, we're going to bring back Christmas. Remember? They wanted to. The radical left wanted to get word of the. They wanted to get rid of the word Christmas. I said, I don't think that's going to work out. And we did it. And now everybody's saying, merry Christmas again.

Donald Trump (15:08)

But just over one year ago today, with your help, we saved America. That's what happened. We saved.

Donald Trump (15:18)

In the most important election victory possibly in the history of our country. Our country was going down. We were a country that was being scoffed at, laughed at all over the world. We won all seven. Thank you, Charlie.

Donald Trump (15:36)

She said. And you saved us. Who are you? Stand up, please. Who said that?

Donald Trump (15:49)

I love her.

Donald Trump (15:58)

Only in Pennsylvania can this happen. I know this state. By the way, last election, did we kick ass.

Donald Trump (16:10)

We won. That means we won three times in a row, as you know.

Donald Trump (16:16)

But we won all seven swing states. We won the electoral college 312 to 226. We won. And by the way, the real vote was much more than this, but we wanted to make it too big to rig.

Donald Trump (16:31)

We won the popular vote for the first time of any Republican in many decades. And we won 86% of all counties in America. 2,700 to 525. That's good. We did it. Not me. We did it. And now, after just 10 months in office, I'm pleased to report that America is winning again. Pennsylvania is prospering again. And I will not rest until this commonwealth is wealthier and stronger than ever before.

Donald Trump (17:10)

Remember when Biden got up and called you a state? That was not good. He said, it's great to be back in this state. Where are we? Where are we? What state? What state is it? It's Pennsylvania. Oh. Oh, okay. Now we're respected again as a country. We're respected.

Donald Trump (17:32)

Since my inauguration, We've created nearly 60,000 new Pennsylvania jobs, including 4,000 Pennsylvania manufacturing jobs that the Democrats gave up on. You're doing better than you've ever done. More than 40,000 Pennsylvanians have been lifted off of food stamps. 40,000.

Donald Trump (17:55)

And working with a great guy. Remember David McCormick? He used to go to every.

Donald Trump (18:05)

Every rally I had. He knew what was happening. And he's here again, as usual. I can't get rid of this guy. Where is he?

Donald Trump (18:14)

He got a little lucky, though, you know, in Butler Place, called Butler, Pennsylvania. I love Butler, Pennsylvania, but it's amazing. And we had a tremendous crowd, like 55, 60,000 people. Then I called David. I said, david, come on up. He was working like hell to get like. It was a tough race and very few people could have done what he did. But I said right at the beginning of the speech, I said, david, come on up. Come on up. I want to. This was before the thing happened. And then I looked up and said, you know what, David, just stay there. I'll get you later. You're so lucky, David. You're so lucky. You don't know. I could have had a little differently shaped ear if it weren't for you. You know, you got very lucky that day. People don't talk about that, but I remember I called him up and I said, just stay there because he was walking a little bit slowly. I didn't want to take the time. Oh, boy, that was a good day for you. What a job he did. He's really a great guy and his wife Dina is fantastic. Thank you. Stand up, baby.

Donald Trump (19:22)

He's a lucky man. Working with Senator David McCormick, we've secured commitments for nearly $100 billion of investments in Pennsylvania. We were up here a few months ago. Some of the greatest energy companies in the world made that. We were doing it on a beautiful day. A little warmer than it is outside today, David, but over $100 billion. And we've saved a great American company. You know, we saved this little group of people and me saved a little company called US Steel. And it's hot as a pistol now.

Donald Trump (20:04)

And we have the keys to the company. It's always going to be here. It's never moving. They said, what happens if it moves to Japan? I said, you can't move a steel mill to Japan. You can move a headquarters, but the steel mill stays here. That's all that matters. And I will tell you that the company is spending billions and billions of dollars in. There was no second by comparison. Other companies were interested, but. And they really are, they call me all the time, tell me they're really excited about it and you know, they're building a lot of additional plants. It's turning out to be beyond what anyone thought possible. But we had to save US Steel. US Steel was one of the greatest companies which really, for a long period of time, years ago, the greatest.

Donald Trump (21:43)

Company anywhere in the world USD. You see it with the big factories that were, I mean, two years ago. Now it's starting to fill up. The tariffs have filled it up because people are coming here. Other steel companies are coming to Pennsylvania now because they don't want to spend 100%, 50%, 25% of tariffs are all coming in. It's amazing. You know they the word, remember when I said tariff, my favorite word is tariff. True. But then I got a lot of heat from the fake news. Look at all of them back there.

Donald Trump (22:21)

I took a lot of heat. I got up early on, I said my favorite is turning out. You know, tariffs are bringing us hundreds of billions of dollars. I just helped our farmers out because they're starting to do really well. But in order to try and negotiate, some countries played a little cute and we just gave them right out of a tariff. Money cost us nothing. Right out of the billion, hundreds of billions that we've taken in. We gave the farmers a little help, $12 billion. And they are so happy and they all they want is a level playing field. And now it's happening and the tariffs are making them rich. It's going to be, you're going to see, you're going to see what happens over the next two years. It's like a miracle is taking place. But we've taken in hundreds of billions of dollars, really trillions. Scott, we have the great Scott Basson. Scott, stand up.

Donald Trump (23:19)

And if you add to that all of the companies that are pouring their money to building right now, building plants in Pennsylvania and many other states, auto plants, AI plants, plants of every type, which we would have never had if we didn't put the tariffs on. Did you see where Europe now is saying, I think we got to start doing what Trump is doing, We've got to start putting on tariffs because we're getting our asses kicked. And it's true. But Scott, if you really Think about it. It's trillions of dollars, not billions of dollars, right? So it's amazing. It's. The smart people understand it. Other people are starting to learn, but the smart people really understand it. One year ago, under sleepy Joe Biden, have you heard of him?

Donald Trump (24:10)

You know, okay, look, the king of Saudi Arabia told me this. He said, sir, one year ago, I was in Saudi Arabia. Somebody complained that I was making a foreign trip. I went to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE. I brought back $4 trillion. They said he shouldn't be traveling. He should focus on home. What the hell do you think I'm doing?

Donald Trump (24:38)

And 250 Boeing jets. I brought back so much everything. Then they say he should, you know, the stupid people, they say he should be leaving our country. Yeah, let's sit around and twiddle our thumbs. It's. No, it's sort of crazy, right? But one year ago, the king of Saudi Arabia said it. He said, sir, one year ago, you were a dead country. Dead. They were focusing on China. They were looking for, you know, who's next online, frankly. And, and he's a good man. And the Emir of Qatar said it. UAE said it. The big company, the big smart country said it. We were a dead country. One year ago, we were dead as a doornail. We were going down the tubes. And now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. There's nobody close.

Benny Ray Harmony (25:31)

USA.

Donald Trump (25:32)

USA. USA. USA. USA. U.S.A. and it's because of the election on November 5th, because that's when it started. You saw what's happening with recruitment in the military. The enrollment is the highest we've ever had. And, you know, right before November 5th, we couldn't get anybody in the military. We couldn't get police, we couldn't get firemen. We couldn't get anybody. And after November 5th, that's when it started. Right now we have the highest enrollment we've ever had, the greatest recruitment days we've ever had in the military. It's amazing. So it's November 5th, and it's also, again, it's a thing called tariffs. And I told you I was about to say that, you know, because I love the weave. The weave. You know what the weave is? You're here. Bing, bing, bing, bing. You always have to get back to the right location, but otherwise they'll criticize you for straying from the speech. By the way, if I read what's on the teleprompter, you'd all be falling asleep right now. But it's true. One year ago, and during periods of time I'd say my favorite word is the word tariff. I love it more than any other word in the dictionary. And the fake news said, that's terrible. What about God? What about family? What about religion? What about your sons, your daughters? What about how terrible that. That's just. So I moved it back to fifth. I have it to fifth. And now I'm in no trouble with the fake news. You know, they say, what about, what about religion? They always find. They always find. So you have to weave a little bit with the punches. You have to go, you know, the boxers, you got to go with the punches. But it's been amazing what's happened and it's been amazing. It's a transformation of our country. I have the greatest oil man anywhere in the world. I see him sitting right there, Chris Wright.

Donald Trump (27:36)

I was going to put a man, Doug Burgum, he's great, he's Interior. And I said, doug, I want you to go to energy. You're really fantastic. Energy came from North Dakota. Big, big fracking place. Really a great job. He was a great governor, I would say, right? Really great and a great person. He's doing a fantastic job. I said, I want you to head up energy, sir. I'd be good. But I'll tell you, there's one man out there in the whole world, there's one man out there who would be better. Me. Better than me. Who is it? Man named Chris Wright. Who the hell is Chris Wright? Give me a break. I never heard of the guy. Well, you never heard. He's the biggest there is. He's the smartest there is. The greatest oil man in the world, Chris Wright. I said, I got to see this guy. And after about two minutes, I understood exactly what Doug was saying. So I said, okay, Doug, you'll go to Interior, you work with. Because interestingly, Interior owns all the land that has the oil and he has all the expertise that drills the oil. And I said, you know, we'll do a friendly merger here. This is pretty good. And that's what we did. And we're right now drilling more oil than we've ever done ever before. Prices are way down. We just had four states. It was just reported that four states had $1.99 a gallon.

Donald Trump (28:56)

Where's sawmill?

Donald Trump (29:00)

So I want to just, I want to introduce Chris Wright. Stand up, Chris.

Donald Trump (29:10)

Who would think, you look at him, he's a nice looking guy and all that. Who would think that's he's rated. I mean, he's the most talented Oil guy, he can put his nose on the ground and tell you whether or not there's oil. Other people have to spend billions of dollars on machinery and equipment, and it doesn't work. So I want to thank you. You're doing a great job. And is it true we are right now, energy overall, not only the oil and gas, we are right now involved in more energy and have more energy in the works by far than we've ever had before. Is that right? Yeah, not even close.

Donald Trump (29:50)

And I have no higher priority than making America affordable again. That's what we're going to do. And again, they caused the high prices and we're bringing them down. It's a simple message. If I had one message tonight, you know, this is being covered, like, all over the world. This is crazy because I haven't made a speech in a little while. You know, when you win, when you win, you say, I can now rest. So, Susie Trump, do you know Susie Trump sometimes referred to as Susie Wild Susie Trump, she's the great chief of staff at the. They don't use the word chief of staff anymore because of the Indians got extremely upset. But now the Indians actually want their name used, which is true. They never didn't want it used. But the chief of staff and she's fantastic, she said, we have to start campaigning, sir. I said, I won. What do I have to do already? They said, we have to win the midterms, and you're the guy that's going to take us over the midterm.

Donald Trump (30:51)

Where's Susie?

Donald Trump (30:55)

Susie. Come on, Susie. Look at Susie. Susie's the greatest. And who do we see there? We even brought our superstar today. Caroline. Stand up, Carol.

Donald Trump (31:16)

Isn't she great? Is Caroline great?

Donald Trump (31:21)

You know, when she goes on television, Fox, like, I mean, they dominate. They dominate. When she gets up there with that beautiful face and those lips that don't stop up, up, up, like. Like a little machine gun. She's got no fear. You know why she has no fear? Because we have the right policy. We don't have men in women's sports. We don't have to sell men in women's sports. We don't have to sell transgender to everybody.

Donald Trump (31:50)

We don't have to sell open borders where the whole world is allowed to come into our country from prisons and everywhere else.

Donald Trump (31:58)

So she's got a little bit easier job. I wouldn't want to be the other side's press secretary. Right? Thanks, Carolyn. Great job. We appreciate it.

Donald Trump (32:08)

But that's our message. They gave you high prices. They gave you the highest inflation in history. And we're giving you. We're bringing those prices down rapidly. Lower prices, bigger paychecks. You're getting lower prices, bigger paychecks. We're getting inflation. We're crushing it. And you're getting much higher wages. I mean, the only thing that you. It's really going up big. It's called the stock market, and your 401ks is going up.

Donald Trump (32:39)

But I say, you know, and I said it the other day, and a lot of people misinterpreted. They say, oh, he doesn't realize prices are high. Prices are coming down very substantially. But they have a new word. You know, they always have a hoax. The new word is affordability.

Donald Trump (32:55)

So they look at the camera and they say, this election is all about affordability. Now. They never talk about it. They never talk. Thank you very much. They say I'm not allowed to run. I don't know what the hell that's all about, but that's okay. He said four more years. You've seen the new hat. We have four more years. 20. 20 hat. We've all sorts of.

Donald Trump (33:30)

Well.

Donald Trump (33:32)

You know what? We have three years and two months to go. And you know what that is? In Trump time, Three years and two months is called eternity. We have a lot. We have a long time. We have a long time. But under Biden, real wages plummeted by $3,000 a year. Under Trump, the typical factory worker has already seen their wages increase by more than $1,300, and that's in just a few months. And for construction workers, it's $1,800 up versus $3,500 down. And I think their number is wrong. It's much lower than that for miners. Do we love miners? I love minors. I don't know how they do it going 10,000ft under the ground. And they wouldn't trade jobs with me if I gave them a beautiful, magnificent penthouse in the middle of Manhattan where I used to live. If I gave them the most beautiful penthouse, they wouldn't take it. They'd rather go 10,000ft underground and dig. That's what they want for miners. Their wages went up $3,300, and we're bringing back coal. But my administration cannot talk about anything else except when they say the word coal, they have to precede the word by two words. Clean, beautiful. So we only call cold, clean, beautiful coal. Is that right, fellas? Because coal needs a little public relations help. It's a very powerful. It's a very powerful fuel. It's used by China. You know, China makes all our windmills, but they don't have any wind farms. It's a little interesting, isn't it? Wind is the worst. It's a big. It's a big. That's a scam. They ruin your valleys, they ruin your peaks, they. And the most expensive energy. The only ones that get rich are the developers who make a fortune. You have to change your windmills. And most of them are made in China. But China has very few wind farms. You know why? Because they're smart. You know what? They do have a lot of coal. They love coal, so that's okay. But we have cleaned beautiful coal and we brought it back into vogue. We have nuclear, we have oil and gas. We have sort of everything we don't want. We don't approve windmills. We don't approve it. I'm sorry. We don't like things that kill all our birds. And that every time you put one up, only the guy that owns it makes a lot of money. Those guys, what a joke. And they are ugly. You're right, sir. But Democrats talking about affordability is like Bonnie and Clyde preaching about public safety.

Donald Trump (36:21)

And they are really the truly the enemy of the working class when they do it. Because we want to have, we can have a great energy policy. You know, our oil prices are coming down, very substantial energy prices. And honestly with that, everything comes down because there's nothing nearly in the category of oil. You wouldn't even know what second is. There are seconds and thirds, but it's so far down the list we don't even talk about them. You get energy prices down, which we're doing with again, the greatest amount of drilling, the greatest amount of fuel being produced right now in our country than ever before by far. It's not even a contest. And when that happens, those prices come down. That's why you're seeing oil per barrel coming down nicely. Very nicely. We don't want to go so rapidly because we want the people that produce it to keep producing it. But they're doing good. But it's amazing. But when energy comes down, your other prices come down too. All of your prices. And that's exactly. We inherited the highest prices ever and we're bringing them down. We inherited the worst inflation in the history of our country. Think of that. And we're bringing them down rapidly. Their entire agenda is about robbing working people to fund their far left cronies and give lavish benefits to foreign migrants and illegal aliens. You can't do it. Look, we all Have a heart. We don't like what's happening, but, you know, when they allow them to come in, we have a border that, by the way, they don't talk about the border. Why don't you talk about the border anymore? The border. The border. The border is. For months. It's closed. Actually, their people, because they're radical left.

Donald Trump (38:02)

Their people. Their people, radical left. They rate the border and everything. You know how many people came into the border over the last seven months? You know what it is? Zero.

Donald Trump (38:16)

Zero.

Donald Trump (38:22)

Except for the ones that came in legally. Right? Legally. When Biden and congressional Democrats had power, they blew up our economy, sent prices soaring. Like the poor guy, he didn't know what the hell was happening. Okay, I'm sorry. It wasn't him. It was the lunatics that circled that circle. Yeah, it was the auto pan. You're right.

Donald Trump (38:47)

I can't believe I didn't say that. I. Kate would. I hate when you beat me to the punchline. I would not have said.

Donald Trump (38:56)

Well, I'll tell you, you know, I'll give the fake news a little breaking news. So I believe, and I may be correct. We're checking this. You know, we have a bad head of the Fed. Bad. We're going to be making a change. Fortunately, this guy's out.

Donald Trump (39:10)

But we have four members appointed by Sleepy Joe Biden. Which is better, Sleepy Joe or Crooked Joe?

Donald Trump (39:21)

He's. Historically, when I've done polls, you know, from people, you know, I do my own polls. I go to a big arena. We have 20,000 people. I say, which you like, Sleepy Joe or Crooked Joe? And I learned I save millions of dollars. I don't have to do any polling. Okay? Typically, Crooked Joe wins. I'm surprised because to me, he's a sleepy son of a bitch, you know, who destroyed our country. If we didn't come along, and it's not me, it's all of us, if we didn't come along, this country was destroyed. I'll tell you, it would have been destroyed. But now Democrats in Congress want to take us straight back to the Biden nomics. You know, they don't change. And I don't really talk about it because, for instance, I watched a congressman the other day on a television show. They were interviewing a Democrat. He was fighting like hell for men to play in women's sports. Okay?

Donald Trump (40:22)

And I was going to put something out. I was going to make a he said, known congressman. And I said, you know, let's save it about two weeks before the election, right, David, we don't want to do it now. What the hell good does it do now? Let's save it for about two weeks because we don't want them to change. Just let them keep going. I think transgender for all is a great, great thing for the Democrats to be talking about. Transgender for every member in your family. If they're not feeling well that night, let's just change their sex.

Donald Trump (40:54)

Now. Let's not talk about it. Let them go and let them fight, fight, fight to get these things. I think open borders are great. You know where prisons are emptied into our country, right? Where we have people from all over the world being dumped into our country. The people that aren't wanted in their countries, by the way. I think that's a great. Like Somalia. Welcome.

Donald Trump (41:16)

Do we have any individuals from Somalia in the group? Please raise your hand. That's for Minnesota. You know, that's called the great big Minnesota scam with one of the dumbest governors ever in history.

Donald Trump (41:35)

I love this Elon Omar, whatever the hell her name is, with a little ching, the little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing, but she's always complaining.

Donald Trump (41:50)

She comes from a country where, I mean, it's considered about the worst country in the world, right? They have no military. They have no nothing. They have no parliament. They don't know what the hell the word parliament means. They have nothing. They have no police. They police themselves. They kill each other all the time. I love it. She comes to our country and she's always complaining about the constitution allows me to do this. The concert. We ought to get her to hell out. She married her brother in order to get in, right? She married her brother.

Donald Trump (42:27)

Can you imagine if Donald Trump married his sister? Beautiful. She's a beautiful person. If I married my sister to get my citizenship, do you think I'd last for about two hours?

Donald Trump (44:08)

It. Would it be something less than that? She married her brother to get in, therefore she's here illegally. She should get the hell out, throw the hell out. She does nothing but complain.

Donald Trump (44:29)

Send her back. Send her back. So now, and we have our savior in this room. His name is Secretary of the Treasury.

Donald Trump (44:43)

Scott Bessant. He's right there.

Donald Trump (44:47)

Because that very handsome man, that man, by the way, if you're picking the Secretary of the treasury, is he like the perfect guy for a movie? He's made for the movie. Stand up, Scott. Look at him.

Donald Trump (45:03)

No, he's central casting, he's central cast. But you don't. Under that beautiful exterior is a killer. And here's what happened. He is in charge of the investigation of Somalia and the billions of dollars they have robbed from Minnesota. Right. I hope you do your job.

Donald Trump (45:26)

I hope you're not one of these Republicans where something comes up and they don't do what they should do because they're nicer people, you know, they're much nicer people than the Democrats, But Scott's actually not a nice person at all.

Donald Trump (45:39)

So, Scott, you're in charge of that investigation. Okay? I'm not interfering at all. I'm just saying please do a good job. Honest and fair, right? Honest and fair.

Donald Trump (45:55)

Oh, if. If he's honest and fair, you know what he's going to find? It's great. I'd love to have that job. I may switch jobs with you. I'd love to have that job. They ought to get him the hell out of here. They hate our country. And she hates our country. And her friends hate our country. And AOC hates our country. They all do. And we have a new candidate in the great state of Texas, where I won Texas by more votes than anybody. And you have to understand, I'm being judged by these bad people back there, the fake news. So.

Donald Trump (46:29)

So anything I say that's slightly Off I get, like headlines, Donald Trump exaggerated. Donald Trump lied. They give me Pinocchios. Washington Post. A Pinocchio. They lie every day. They give me a Pinocchio. But think of this. If I make even the slightest, the slightest mistake, what they do is they go after me. Everything I say is correct. We have now a new candidate. I won Texas by the largest vote in the history of Texas three times. Okay? I love Texas.

Donald Trump (47:06)

Just like I love Pennsylvania, the Commonwealth, a Pennsylvania.

Donald Trump (47:13)

Just like I love, honestly, every one of our states. I love all of our states that we've done so well. I love all of our states. What, by the way, by the way, by the way, is this a different country now than we had a year and a half ago? Right. Why did it differ?

Donald Trump (47:32)

Crime, you know, crime is way down. Despite the fact that we have many, many, you know, bad people entered our country, many of them are being taken out. Ultimately, they're all being taken out. Washington, D.C. we had a tragic incident, as you know, with the two incredible people. What a terrible thing. That was just two weeks ago, right? Just a terrible National Guard. Terrible thing. Sarah and Andrew. Sarah passed away. She's looking at us from heaven, from above. And she was killed almost instantly. They kept her alive. Their parents came from West Virginia, another great state. Her parents are incredible. They couldn't believe it. She was 20 years old, perfect. She was just getting a little promotion. They were so proud of her. She was on her way up and she was shut in the head, the brain shutting the brain shut in the head. They were able to keep her alive long enough for her parents to come in from West Virginia and say goodbye to her. And Andrew is the second one who's also from West Virginia. National Guard, incredible people. And so they were both from West Virginia, and his mother's name, Monica. And Monica's the most positive person I've ever seen. The night that he was so badly hit and the doctors gave him almost no chance, I called their hospital room and spoke to her and she said, sir, he'll be fine. Oh, no, I'm telling you, he's going to. I'm praying. The whole country is praying, sir. I'm telling you, don't worry about it. He's going to be fine. This is the mother talking to me. And the father's like, devastated. He's incredible guy, too, both. And I went and invited them to the Oval Office, and they came in, she said, sir, he's fine. It was amazing, actually. And today, Monica.

Donald Trump (49:37)

She said, we're all praying and I'm praying. And then she called to say, sir, he moved his finger today. This is like three days later he moved his finger. And today I got a call that he got up from bed. Do you believe that? He got up. He got up.

Donald Trump (49:59)

Now he didn't speak. He's not ready for that yet. I mean, you got hit in the head, but he got up and, boy, they're so happy. It's amazing. And the care that they've given him at the hospital and the generals that have been there, the military that's been there, it's amazing. General Seward and others, that she said, the level of love that your military has given to my boy. And by the way, Sarah's parents said the same thing. The love and the affection and the care that they're given. They can't even believe what's happened. But Andrew stood up today, and people even can't believe it. So the mother was amazing. And let's hope it continues. Look, it's. It doesn't get much worse than what he did. Let's hope it continues.

Donald Trump (50:46)

But that's an act of terrorism. This is a guy came from Washington, State of Washington, came across the country, and he wanted to kill people with the uniform, a whack job. Isn't it crazy? Think of it. He was also very badly injured, and they're fighting to save his life so that we can give him the death penalty. How crazy is that? Right? They're fighting to save his life so that we can give him the death penalty. That's the way it really should work, right? The doctors have to do their job, and then the lawyers have to do their job. But it's an amazing country. Actually. Andrew's father said that. He said they're fighting for him. I hope they save him, sir, because I hope he has to understand what he did, how bad it is. And he's going to. I think he will be saved. Actually, it looks like they will save him. He wasn't as badly hurt as Sarah or Andrew, but isn't that an amazing thing? They're working so hard to save his life, and we're going to put him up for the death penalty. Amazing, huh? Only in America. That's. Only in America. You know, in one way there's something beautiful about it, and another way, it's a little crazy, right? In my first term, we built the greatest economy in the history of the world. You know that we had the greatest economy in history, even with the COVID Covid came and it really hurt the world. It was a gift From China. But China got hurt very badly, too. We're getting along with China. They're buying a lot of our soybeans. Keep buying those soybeans. They're, you know, you heard all about magnets and rare earth. They were great. I met with President Xi. Scott was with me, and we had a whole group. Marco was there, and Chris was there. We were all there, and we made incredible deals with China. We're getting along. It's. Getting along is a good thing. You know, getting along is a good thing, not a bad thing. It's a smart thing. And they're buying literally trillions of dollars worth of our products and all of that. And we had a very good meeting. Remember, the whole world was going to shut down over rare earth. That was two months ago. And that worked out very well. It all works out well. If you have a smart president, it works out well. If you have a dummy, it doesn't work out well.

Donald Trump (53:12)

But we had a great economy. We had the greatest economy in our country's history, but we had what's called the greatest economy. This is the first term probably ever of any country. Now, in addition to that, we rebuilt our military. We got the biggest tax cuts ever. We got the biggest regulation cuts ever. We had the best job numbers. We had a great first term. Or frankly, to be honest with you, I wouldn't be standing here. Because if I had a bad first term, you know, you might say, I like him. He's really good. But we had a lousy first term. You're not going to vote. You voted for me because we had a great. Despite all of the Russia, Russia, Russia bullshit, despite all of the impeachments. You know, think of it. The impeachments, all of the crap we had to go through with these crooked Democrats. They're crooked as you could be. They're bad people. They're sick people. But despite all of that, we had an amazing first term. Our second term is blowing it away. It's blowing it away.

Donald Trump (54:15)

So we're doing it again, but bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. There's more work to do. But today, 22 states, we're setting 22 total. Is that right, Chris? That just came out, that statistic. We're down lower than we've been in seven years. Gasoline prices and oil prices. Not just the three states that I talk about. With 199 a gallon, how would you like to have 199? You know, that's.

Donald Trump (54:45)

That's the equivalent of a very major tax cut. You know, when you get the energy prices down. It's really the equivalent, maybe even in many cases better than a big tax cut which we gave you. We gave you the biggest tax cut ever in the first term. We then gave you with the great big beautiful deal, which is phenomenal. We gave you something that's even better than we did. We gave you an extension of the biggest tax cuts and the biggest tax cuts ever, even bigger than the first term. And that's one of the reasons that your 401ks are through the roof. It's one of the reasons that the stock market is at the highest point. So rent prices are down, dairy prices are coming down very strongly. The cost of Thanksgiving turkeys was down by 33% compared to the Biden era. Biden era. You know what you did during the Biden era for Thanksgiving, you said, oh, my God, this is terrible. Was a rotten Thanksgiving. And Walmart, I thank them, you know, they came out with a big, like sort of a numbers thing, a chart, and they had a 25% less. So that's pretty good. A Thanksgiving meal with all of the trimmings is 25% less under Trump than it was a year ago under Biden. That's. That's a good start. We're bringing it down and we're coming down more. We're coming down a lot more. Takes a little time to come down. They. They were ruining. They're going to destroy our country. The cost of a Christmas ham. What? Don't forget who. Eggs.

Donald Trump (56:22)

I'm getting the eggs. But you're right, remember with eggs where I had my, like, first news conference. Two days went by and I had a news conference. Right. Unlike Biden. Two years go by, he still didn't have. Remember, he'd walk off the stage, he's finished with his. Sir, you're finished with your speech. Now what? You finish what? And then he'd walk into a wall.

Donald Trump (56:47)

What he did what they. And it wasn't him. It was some really smart radical left lunatics. What they did to our country, we, we can never forget. We can never forget. But you remember the first eggs. We remember the first three days. I just got there. Share with these people. Two of them are there, right there.

Donald Trump (57:08)

Look at all those cameras you got. You got a lot of television going. Two of them were there. And I'm talking about. Yes, I look forward to getting involved and doing great things. What about eggs? Eggs are down as they go. Eggs. They said the price of eggs is quadrupled. I said, oh, I didn't know that. Tell me about it. It's gone up like four or five times. Remember eggs Right at the beginning. He's right. When he says eggs. It went up like four times. It was like crazy. And they said, sir, don't buy. They came into the Oval Office, sir, you know, we have an Easter egg hunt. It's like a thing for 150 years at the White House. Beautiful. They said, sir, we're going to buy plastic eggs this year. Plastic eggs. We don't have, you know, enough eggs to go around for that. I said, you're going to buy regular eggs. And by the time, by the time Easter comes, we're going to have so many eggs, you're not going to know what to do. You're not buying plastic. And we didn't. And Brooke Rollins, our Secretary of Agriculture did an incredible job and eggs dropped like a rock. And we ended up buying a lot of eggs for a lot of. But the price of eggs is down now 80% since March. Think of that.

Donald Trump (58:26)

And we have two price charts. Do you remember the last time I pointed to a chart? My all time. I don't care what these charts say. My all time favorite chart was the chart I had in Butler. I said, let's look at the chart.

Donald Trump (58:46)

I don't care how good that chart looks. It's shit by comparison to the one in. But.

Donald Trump (58:53)

It'S nothing. I like, I like the Butler chart. Remember that was on how great employment was and all this. But I like it for other reasons.

Donald Trump (59:05)

Look at that chart. It's good. But now I talk about the Butler chart. I don't even want to look at it. Does it mean. But look, Biden price increases and Trump price increases. Look at Biden. Up 37, 24%. 22, 21. 30.7, 30.7 again, 10.4%, 49% Trump. The price is down 5.1, 4.2, 0.5. Down 4%, 2 points, 2.9. Look at that. Our prices are coming down their prices. It's a hoax. They just remember they said the Inflation Reduction act. Remember that? Billions and billions, hundreds of billions of dollars, the inflation. And after they got it approved because we had a few Republicans that went along with that whole hoax. And remember we're going to pass the inflation. And I said there's nothing to do with inflation reduction. There. There's nothing to do with that. Has nothing. It didn't even. It had nothing to do with inflation either way other than raising inflation, perhaps because it was such a stupid. And then they admitted they fought it. Like, oh, no, this is inflation. After they got the thing passed, then they said, we agree it has nothing to do with inflation. Screw you, we don't care. That's what it is. We're dealing with bad people. And the word affordability is the exact same thing. And I can't say affordability hoax because I agree the prices were too high. So I can't go to hoax because they'll misconstrue that. But they use the word affordability and that's their only word. They say affordability and everyone says, oh, that must mean Trump has high prices. No, our prices are coming down tremendously from the highest prices in the history of our country. And look at that chart. Let's see the next one. You have another one, I think mortgage rates. Even with a lousy Fed chair. We have a lousy Fed chair. And by the way, it looks. You're going to have to check this, please. I just heard it could be that all four commissioners in the Fed signed by Biden, including too late. You know, you know who too late is? Too late, pal? Jerome. Too late. He's too late with his interest rates for a reason. He's a bad guy. He's not a smart guy, but he's a bad guy. Too late. Is he going to lower rates a little bit? Finally, did you see where Jamie Dimon, respected guy, said you got to get the rates down, you schmuck? You know, but, but I hear that's the auto pen may have signed those commissions, if they signed those commissions. Now, maybe I'm wrong, but we're going to check. Have you checked that? Are you hearing it? Who signed it? Did he sign it or did the auto pen sign it?

Donald Trump (62:00)

I'm hearing the auto.

Donald Trump (62:04)

You know, you can't use the autopen unless it's very strongly authorized. Unless you show, you know what the hell you're doing, which is impossible of him to show.

Donald Trump (62:14)

So I don't know. I think it's something we have to look into. You put people there that are not authorized to be there. I know. I signed Chris Wright. I signed everything, but I signed Chris Wright. If I gave you an auto pen, they could throw you the hell out of here, Chris. The difference is they would do it. You know, we try and be too nice. No. Would you check that, Scott? Okay, Because I'm hearing that the auto pen could have signed maybe all four, but maybe a couple of them. We'll take two, so. Look at that. Biden.

Donald Trump (62:46)

I love that laugh. Who's the woman with that great hearty? Laugh. That's a woman that likes Trump.

Donald Trump (62:54)

That's not beautiful.

Donald Trump (62:58)

Anybody can laugh with that happiness. She likes Trump. He likes Trump too. With a hat. Yes, that's right. Thank you. Thank you, man. Thank you. So Biden new yearly mortgage cost increases and Trump new yearly. Look, we went down with our rates. They went up with their rates much. That's a lot. So with us, you saved 2,900.
