00:00:15.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:17.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:21.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:24.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:25.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:26.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:28.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:12.000 Okay, I'm the only one standing in the way of hearing from the 45th and 47th President of the United States.
00:01:17.000 So I'm not going to talk long.
00:01:19.000 I just want to say I am so thankful that all of you have worked so hard to get Donald Trump back in the White House.
00:01:27.000 In this state, this is the best-performing swing state with a five-and-a-half-point victory.
00:01:32.000 We have all 50 states represented here in this grassroots movement of the greatest American comeback in the history of our country.
00:01:42.000 I truly believe that President Trump, throughout these last couple of years, overcoming all these odds is one of the greatest stories ever told.
00:01:51.000 And let's just say thank you, God, for giving us Donald Trump and giving our country back.
00:01:56.000 Ladies and gentlemen, you're about to witness history.
00:01:59.000 the 45th and 47th president of the United States.
00:02:03.000 Well, hello, Arizona.
00:02:13.000 It's great to be here.
00:02:14.000 Nice to win the election.
00:02:16.000 Very nice to win.
00:02:17.000 And I want to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas.
00:02:21.000 They don't say that too much anymore.
00:02:23.000 We say it.
00:02:27.000 And when I had all that smoke backstage, I said, hey, are there any steps in front of me I don't want to go down?
00:02:34.000 I'd go down, that would not be good.
00:02:36.000 We don't want to do that nice and slow.
00:02:39.000 But I just want to thank you.
00:02:42.000 What a beautiful production this is.
00:02:43.000 What a great job the whole group does.
00:02:47.000 It's been amazing.
00:02:48.000 Turning Point's been amazing.
00:02:50.000 It's really been tremendous numbers of American patriots.
00:02:54.000 It's really been great.
00:02:56.000 You saw what happened last month.
00:02:58.000 We had Turning Points, Grassroots Army.
00:03:01.000 It's an army.
00:03:01.000 They turned out to vote, and they voted in record numbers, and everybody else voted in record numbers, too, I have to tell you.
00:03:09.000 And we did something that was really epic.
00:03:11.000 We won a battle that a lot of people thought was very hard to win, you know, too big to rig.
00:03:17.000 Remember what I said, too big to rig.
00:03:20.000 We're making too big to rig.
00:03:21.000 We're going to win.
00:03:23.000 And it really was one of the great political victories in the history of our country, and that's good.
00:03:30.000 They said one of the very big radical left newspapers said the most consequential election in the last 129 years.
00:03:39.000 And I said, couldn't they have made it a little bit longer than that?
00:03:44.000 129 years, but that's pretty good.
00:03:46.000 But we won.
00:03:47.000 Oh, it's so nice.
00:03:48.000 We won the popular vote by a lot, by millions and millions.
00:03:55.000 And I used to hear the first one, we won and we did great.
00:03:59.000 And they always would say, well, he didn't this sort of, well, he didn't win the popular vote.
00:04:04.000 He won the electoral culture.
00:04:05.000 You know, they'd say that low.
00:04:07.000 But we actually did very well then.
00:04:10.000 But we did really well the second time.
00:04:12.000 And this time, we said to hell with it.
00:04:14.000 We've got to just blow them away.
00:04:16.000 And that's what we did.
00:04:16.000 We blew them away.
00:04:20.000 So we won all seven swing states.
00:04:22.000 Remember they were saying, well...
00:04:24.000 You know, we did very well in early voting, so we didn't have to win too much because we were way ahead.
00:04:29.000 But they said, well, he only has to win two.
00:04:32.000 But we won all seven.
00:04:34.000 Can you believe it, huh?
00:04:35.000 We won all seven.
00:04:37.000 And we carried the great state of Arizona, something not easy for a Republican to do, but it was easy for us to do.
00:04:45.000 And we had more than a six-point landslide.
00:04:47.000 That's called the landslide here.
00:04:49.000 And not only did we reclaim the White House, we also took back the US Senate and we won the largest popular vote majority for House Republicans in a presidential year since 1928. That's a pretty good thing.
00:05:04.000 And I want to express my tremendous gratitude to Charlie Kirk.
00:05:08.000 He's really an amazing guy.
00:05:12.000 Amazing guy.
00:05:15.000 And his whole staff for their relentless efforts to achieve this very historic victory.
00:05:21.000 It's such a great honor.
00:05:22.000 It's not my victory.
00:05:23.000 It's your victory.
00:05:24.000 It's a great honor.
00:05:26.000 Man, we worked hard on this.
00:05:30.000 We knew bad things happened in 2020. And if I didn't know that we won in 2020, I wouldn't have done this because it would have been like the ultimate poll, right?
00:05:40.000 But we won by a lot.
00:05:41.000 And this time we said, look, now we've got to really win by, and we won by so much, they just, you know, they threw all their placards.
00:05:48.000 They wanted to protest.
00:05:49.000 They were all set.
00:05:50.000 And at about 9 o'clock, they said, man, this guy's killing us.
00:05:56.000 They threw the placards.
00:05:57.000 They went home, and we had no riots.
00:05:59.000 We had no anything.
00:06:00.000 It was a beautiful thing to watch.
00:06:03.000 They just said, we lost.
00:06:06.000 And we want to try bringing everybody together.
00:06:09.000 We're going to try.
00:06:10.000 We're going to really give it a shot.
00:06:11.000 The thing that brings people together is victory.
00:06:14.000 It's winning.
00:06:15.000 And we had that for much of my first year.
00:06:18.000 We had the greatest economy in history in our first term.
00:06:22.000 We can now call it a first term.
00:06:24.000 We had the greatest economy in the history of our country.
00:06:27.000 Maybe in the history of any country, frankly.
00:06:29.000 And we had...
00:06:31.000 We did things that nobody could have done, and we're going to do them even better now.
00:06:35.000 We're going to be drilling.
00:06:36.000 As we say, drill, baby, drill.
00:06:38.000 We're going to drill, baby, drill.
00:06:40.000 But we're going to be doing a lot more than drilling.
00:06:43.000 But I also want to give a very special thanks to everyone at Turning Point Action who outworked and outsmarted.
00:06:49.000 Always outsmart.
00:06:50.000 You've got to be smart, too, and outorganize the radical left opposition.
00:06:57.000 We had very strong...
00:06:59.000 Opposition, not in terms of numbers, but I will tell you, something's happened because they are...
00:07:06.000 That was a big defeat for them.
00:07:09.000 Nobody expected the numbers.
00:07:11.000 You know what happened?
00:07:11.000 The pollsters went around, and whenever anyone said, it's none of your business, they say, who are you voting for?
00:07:18.000 Or who did you vote for?
00:07:20.000 They said, it's none of your business.
00:07:22.000 And sometimes they said much tougher language than that, but I'm not going to get into that because I'll get in big trouble.
00:07:28.000 On the home front.
00:07:31.000 And with Franklin Graham.
00:07:33.000 Please, sir.
00:07:35.000 He says, please, sir, please don't use foul language.
00:07:38.000 You speak so beautifully.
00:07:39.000 You can do just as well.
00:07:41.000 Actually, it doesn't work quite as well, but that's okay.
00:07:44.000 It's just emphasis.
00:07:46.000 But when they said, essentially, it's none of your business, that was a Trump vote.
00:07:52.000 And they had the highest numbers of people that said that because they don't trust the press, etc.
00:07:58.000 And we had the highest numbers.
00:08:00.000 And that's why the polls showed us winning, but not winning in a landslide like we did.
00:08:06.000 And we sort of knew that was going to happen.
00:08:09.000 We could tell by the rally says, look at this, here we won.
00:08:13.000 There's no reason except celebration, but that's not a bad reason, is it?
00:08:17.000 And look at the crowd.
00:08:18.000 They have 7,000 or 8,000 people standing outside.
00:08:21.000 They can't get in.
00:08:22.000 Would anybody like to give up their seat, please?
00:08:27.000 You know, doing this for years, I don't think I've ever had anyone say, yes, yes, I'll give it up.
00:08:32.000 Just one person, nobody.
00:08:34.000 The Democrats and the media said the turning point could never run a ground game.
00:08:39.000 They weren't experienced.
00:08:41.000 They didn't know Charlie, right?
00:08:46.000 But when the ballots came in, the other side really didn't know what the hell hit them.
00:08:52.000 They got hit hard.
00:08:53.000 The victory was such an outstanding one, such a big one.
00:08:58.000 And the other side now, and we don't want this.
00:09:01.000 We want people to be happy and healthy.
00:09:03.000 But they did.
00:09:04.000 They lost their confidence.
00:09:05.000 If you watch television now, they're all befuddled.
00:09:09.000 They don't know what the hell happened.
00:09:12.000 They're befuddled.
00:09:14.000 To use quite a nice word that my mother used to use years ago, talking about somebody that's a mess.
00:09:21.000 But they did.
00:09:22.000 They've lost their confidence, and hopefully they'll lose it for a long time and then come over to our side, because we want to have them.
00:09:30.000 We want to have them.
00:09:35.000 And we're going to have some inauguration on the 20th.
00:09:38.000 We're going to have something.
00:09:39.000 It's going to be great.
00:09:41.000 It's going to be great.
00:09:43.000 But something happened also in the election.
00:09:46.000 All 50 states shifted toward the Republican Party, every single one of them.
00:09:51.000 And together we won the largest share of African American voters of any Republican in modern history.
00:09:59.000 Actually, in history.
00:10:01.000 We won more Hispanic American votes than any Republican ever.
00:10:06.000 And we won the vote.
00:10:09.000 We won the Latino men. 0.99
00:10:12.000 Who's a Latino man? 0.95
00:10:13.000 Do we have any Latino men?
00:10:15.000 You're not a Latino man. 1.00
00:10:18.000 Very beautiful woman, but a man you are not.
00:10:22.000 Of course, nowadays, who the hell knows?
00:10:28.000 But we won the Hispanic, I call Hispanic.
00:10:34.000 I always said, do you like Latino? 0.98
00:10:37.000 Or Hispanic? 0.86
00:10:38.000 Let's go.
00:10:38.000 Let's do a free poll.
00:10:39.000 Who likes to be called Latino?
00:10:42.000 Okay.
00:10:43.000 That's what's always happening.
00:10:44.000 Listen to this.
00:10:45.000 Who likes to be called Hispanic?
00:10:50.000 Not as good as usual.
00:10:52.000 But we won half of all voters aged 18 to 29. There's never been anything like that.
00:10:59.000 We won by 36 young people.
00:11:05.000 And we got the highest share of youth vote of any Republican ever before in history.
00:11:14.000 And we had great people.
00:11:16.000 You know, my son Barron said, Dad, you got to see this one, that one, this one.
00:11:21.000 He likes Joe Rogan a lot, too.
00:11:23.000 He said, you got to see Joe Rogan.
00:11:25.000 Dad, you got to do an interview with these people.
00:11:28.000 And he has a sort of a feel for young people.
00:11:32.000 I guess that's a nice thing to have when you're young.
00:11:34.000 But he has a feel for it.
00:11:36.000 And it was amazing.
00:11:38.000 So we got the highest vote ever for a Republican candidate.
00:11:42.000 We won by 36 points with young people.
00:11:45.000 That never happens.
00:11:46.000 A Republican loses by 36 or 40. So I'm going to have to start thinking about TikTok.
00:11:52.000 I think we're going to have to start thinking.
00:11:59.000 Because, you know, we did go on TikTok.
00:12:02.000 And we had a great response.
00:12:04.000 We had billions of views, billions and billions of views.
00:12:08.000 They brought me a chart, and it was a record, and it was so beautiful to see.
00:12:14.000 And as I looked at it, I said, maybe we got to keep this sucker around a little while, you know?
00:12:21.000 Who wants to?
00:12:22.000 Oh, look, I see Sheriff Joe.
00:12:24.000 Sheriff Joe, could we use you on the border?
00:12:27.000 Stand up.
00:12:28.000 Sheriff Joe, look at that.
00:12:33.000 He had no problems with the border.
00:12:36.000 You could straighten your border out in two minutes.
00:12:38.000 We'll put Sheriff Joe over there.
00:12:42.000 And you're looking good, Joe.
00:12:45.000 You're looking good.
00:12:46.000 And we miss your wife, right?
00:12:47.000 Your great wife.
00:12:48.000 She's up there proud as hell of you.
00:12:50.000 But he had no border problems.
00:12:52.000 You didn't have any border problems.
00:12:53.000 And we'll do that very shortly for you.
00:12:56.000 We're going to have a governor that doesn't know what the hell she's doing. 1.00
00:12:59.000 You have people.
00:13:01.000 You have people that don't know what they're doing, and we're going to change it because your border is a disaster.
00:13:07.000 Your border is a disaster, what's going on.
00:13:10.000 And you just have a few days to wait.
00:13:12.000 We're going to be fully operational, I would say, by about 2 o'clock on the 20th.
00:13:21.000 20th of January.
00:13:24.000 With your help, we gain 23 points.
00:13:27.000 With voters under the age of even 25, think of that.
00:13:31.000 We gained 23 points, and in the election of 2024, our movement not only won a mandate, but we built new American majorities all over the place, and we'll define our country's future.
00:13:44.000 I believe it's going to define our country's future for generations to come.
00:13:48.000 That's going to happen.
00:13:50.000 You know, there's some people called up that are great people, actually.
00:13:56.000 Great business leaders called.
00:13:58.000 A lot of them.
00:13:59.000 And some of them weren't exactly on my site, but they're on my site now.
00:14:04.000 But they said there's a light over not only the country right now, but over the entire world.
00:14:09.000 And it is happening.
00:14:11.000 And we want to get some of these...
00:14:13.000 We want to get some of these wars that would have never happened, like Russia, Ukraine would have never happened.
00:14:21.000 Israel would have never been attacked, would have never happened.
00:14:25.000 We wouldn't have inflation.
00:14:27.000 We wouldn't have had that Afghanistan horror show, that horrible, horrible, the way we left, leaving billions of dollars of equipment behind, and 13 soldiers.
00:14:38.000 And, you know, nobody ever mentions, and I mention because I love them, and they're all watching right now, 48 soldiers that were horrifically injured.
00:14:47.000 Nobody ever...
00:14:48.000 They lived, and they don't talk about them, but these are...
00:14:52.000 Incredible warriors that were hurt so badly with the legs and the arms and the face and hurt so badly.
00:14:59.000 48. 48 of them.
00:15:02.000 And we love you.
00:15:04.000 You're listening and we love you.
00:15:06.000 We're not forgetting you.
00:15:11.000 And for all of us standing before you today, I can proudly proclaim that the golden age of America is upon us.
00:15:20.000 It is going to be a golden age.
00:15:23.000 It's going to be a golden age.
00:15:28.000 There's a spirit that we have now that we didn't have just a short while ago.
00:15:33.000 Sadly, we didn't have.
00:15:34.000 Who the hell can have a spirit?
00:15:37.000 Watching women get beat up in a boxing ring? 1.00
00:15:40.000 I don't think that's spirit, right?
00:15:41.000 We're going to end that one quick.
00:15:43.000 We're going to end it very quickly.
00:15:46.000 We're going to end that one very quickly.
00:15:48.000 Since the election, the stock market has broken one record after another.
00:15:52.000 The biggest...
00:15:57.000 That's a good sign.
00:15:58.000 In a single month, small business optimism soared 41 points, which is a record.
00:16:06.000 That's a record.
00:16:07.000 Bitcoin has surged to an all-time record high of $108,000.
00:16:13.000 Congratulations.
00:16:14.000 Congratulations.
00:16:16.000 And just last week, in an overwhelming statement of confidence in our leadership, The CEO of SoftBank, a very highly respected man in Asia.
00:16:27.000 Masa Yoshisan, you probably saw it, announced that he will be investing.
00:16:32.000 And only because I won the election, he made that clear, only because he has confidence in the United States between $100 billion and $200 billion.
00:16:41.000 And he's going to be investing.
00:16:43.000 It's equal to about 100,000 jobs at least.
00:16:47.000 And all over the world, people are investing now.
00:16:49.000 They're starting the investments, and it's going to be a beautiful thing with the jobs.
00:16:54.000 But they're calling it the Trump effect because even before taking office, we're already bringing in the jobs and opportunity and safety and common sense back to the USA. We're bringing common sense back.
00:17:06.000 Maybe that's the most important thing.
00:17:09.000 I think common sense is the most important thing, but not only are we seeing it at home, but...
00:17:14.000 We're seeing it abroad as well.
00:17:17.000 The European Union is suddenly talking about buying vast quantities of natural American, beautiful natural gas.
00:17:26.000 It is beautiful, and it's very inexpensive.
00:17:29.000 It's a lot less expensive than windmills all over the place.
00:17:35.000 A lot less expensive.
00:17:37.000 But I've informed Mexico and Canada that they will have to step up and stop the illegal aliens and Illegal drugs from pouring into our country. 1.00
00:17:47.000 Have to stop.
00:17:51.000 And that goes for the European Union, and it goes for many other places.
00:17:56.000 European Union's treated us very, very badly.
00:17:59.000 We have hundreds of billions of dollars with deficits.
00:18:03.000 They don't take our cars.
00:18:04.000 They don't take our agricultural product.
00:18:07.000 But we take theirs.
00:18:10.000 They've got to be careful.
00:18:12.000 They can't treat us that way.
00:18:13.000 They're not going to be treating us that way for long.
00:18:15.000 That I can tell you.
00:18:17.000 Because we're not going to let them turn the United States into a dumping ground.
00:18:21.000 We're not going to let it happen.
00:18:23.000 We pay Canada in subsidies and deficits over $150 billion a year.
00:18:30.000 And you say, why are we doing that?
00:18:31.000 Why are we paying Canada $150 billion?
00:18:34.000 Essentially, we're paying Canada.
00:18:37.000 And we love Canada.
00:18:39.000 I have so many friends.
00:18:40.000 I love Canada.
00:18:41.000 I love it.
00:18:42.000 But why are we spending $150 billion on Canada?
00:18:47.000 Yet Canada allows people and drugs to flood in through our northern border.
00:18:52.000 You know, we have a northern border that's not doing so well either.
00:18:56.000 Likewise, people are coming in from Mexico in numbers that have never, ever been seen before.
00:19:03.000 We had 21 million people come in over the past four years.
00:19:07.000 Think of that, 21 million people.
00:19:10.000 And you see, a lot of these people should not be here.
00:19:13.000 They come from mental institutions and prisons from all over the world, not just South America.
00:19:19.000 Hundreds of thousands more are racing to get across before January 20th.
00:19:24.000 You get to see it.
00:19:25.000 And I was very strong with them.
00:19:27.000 Actually, I spoke to the new president, who is a lovely, wonderful woman.
00:19:34.000 And President Scheinbaum, wonderful woman, actually, but I said, you can't do this to our country.
00:19:40.000 We're not going to take it anymore.
00:19:41.000 You can't do it.
00:19:43.000 But I've informed Mexico that it just cannot continue.
00:19:48.000 We're not going to let it continue.
00:19:51.000 The United States has lost 300,000 people a year.
00:19:56.000 Think of that.
00:19:57.000 I don't know.
00:19:57.000 I mean, how many people?
00:19:59.000 Everybody you meet said, I lost my daughter, I lost my son to drugs, to fentanyl.
00:20:05.000 Mostly to fentanyl, but to drugs.
00:20:08.000 Families are being destroyed, and we're going to stop it.
00:20:10.000 We're not going to let that happen.
00:20:12.000 And we're also going to be doing something that's, I think, going to help a lot.
00:20:17.000 We're going to do very big advertising campaigns, just like a campaign for running for president.
00:20:23.000 We'll spend a lot of money, but it'll be a very small amount of money, relatively.
00:20:26.000 We're going to advertise how bad drugs are for you, how bad they are.
00:20:31.000 They ruin your look, they ruin your face, they ruin your skin, and they ruin your teeth.
00:20:37.000 If you want to have horrible teeth, take a lot of fentanyl.
00:20:41.000 If you want to have skin that looks so terrible, take fentanyl.
00:20:44.000 We're going to show what these drugs are doing to you.
00:20:48.000 Nobody's done that before, and we're going to do it.
00:20:51.000 And that is, it's going to be like running a political campaign, just like running for president, just like we just did.
00:20:56.000 We had some pretty good ads, right?
00:20:58.000 Well, we explained what these people have done, how they're destroying our country.
00:21:05.000 I mean, who would leave, who would let millions of people pour in from prisons and jails and mental institutions and, I always say, insane asylums? 0.88
00:21:17.000 You know, the press gave me a hard time because sometimes I'd use the word, a name, Hannibal Lecter.
00:21:23.000 They said, why does he mention Hannibal Lecter?
00:21:26.000 That has nothing to do with it.
00:21:27.000 Why would he?
00:21:28.000 I mean, are they stupid?
00:21:30.000 The fact is that we don't want Hannibal Lecter.
00:21:34.000 You know what that is?
00:21:34.000 Silence of the Lambs.
00:21:36.000 We don't want Hannibal Lecter, Dr. Hannibal Lecter in our country, do we?
00:21:41.000 And you know what happened when they went to the voting booth or?
00:21:45.000 Unfortunately, they signed their mail-in ballot, but we got by it.
00:21:49.000 We got to change all of that stuff.
00:21:51.000 We got to have great, fair, confident Alexis. 1.00
00:21:55.000 But when they went into the booth or they signed their ballot, they said, hmm, Hannibal Lecter, that's our bad guy.
00:22:02.000 We don't want him here.
00:22:03.000 They knew that.
00:22:04.000 They didn't like that.
00:22:05.000 They didn't like that I used him because it's a good, it's a very good example.
00:22:09.000 It's like incredible, incredible what they do.
00:22:13.000 We need.
00:22:14.000 Borders, we need fair elections, and we need a free and fair press.
00:22:19.000 And we're going to try getting all of them.
00:22:23.000 As another example of the things we're doing and looking at, it's such a terrible thing is happening.
00:22:31.000 The Panama Canal is considered a vital national asset for the United States of America due to its critical role.
00:22:41.000 American economy, the whole world economy, and also national security.
00:22:46.000 The Panama Canal.
00:22:47.000 Has anyone ever heard of the Panama Canal?
00:22:50.000 Huh?
00:22:51.000 Because we're being ripped off at the Panama Canal like we're being ripped off everywhere else.
00:22:56.000 A secure...
00:22:57.000 He just said, take it back.
00:22:59.000 That's a good idea.
00:23:01.000 Where do you come from, sir?
00:23:03.000 He doesn't come from Panama.
00:23:05.000 Huh?
00:23:06.000 Yeah, good.
00:23:07.000 A secure Panama Canal is crucial for U.S. commerce and rapid deployment of the Navy from the Atlantic all the way to the Pacific.
00:23:17.000 It's an incredible thing.
00:23:19.000 And drastically cuts shipping times down to U.S. ports by days and even weeks.
00:23:26.000 The United States is the number one user of the Panama Canal with over 72% of...
00:23:32.000 All transits heading to or from U.S. ports.
00:23:36.000 Think of that.
00:23:36.000 So we built it.
00:23:37.000 We're the ones that use it.
00:23:39.000 They gave it away.
00:23:42.000 Considered really one of the great wonders of the world.
00:23:47.000 The Panama Canal opened for business 110 years ago and was built at huge cost to the United States.
00:23:55.000 And it really is big when you consider the lives and the treasure, the equivalent of $1.2 trillion today.
00:24:05.000 You don't hear those numbers.
00:24:07.000 38,000 American men, almost all men, they went there to be construction workers and dig. 1.00
00:24:15.000 They were diggers.
00:24:16.000 And they were brave.
00:24:19.000 38,000 men died from infected mosquitoes in the jungles of Panama during the construction period.
00:24:28.000 Think of that.
00:24:28.000 We lost 38,000 men.
00:24:31.000 Teddy Roosevelt was president of the United States at the time of its building and understood the strength of naval power and trade.
00:24:40.000 When President Jimmy Carter foolishly gave it away, gave it away for $1, $1.
00:24:48.000 During his term in office, it was solely for Panama to manage and not for China or any other country to manage.
00:24:56.000 You see what's going on there?
00:24:57.000 China.
00:24:58.000 It was likewise not given for Panama to charge the United States, its Navy, and its corporations doing business within our country exorbitant prices and rates and its corporations doing business within our country exorbitant prices and rates of passage, which They charge us like it's a disgrace. 0.71
00:25:23.000 Our Navy and commerce have been treated in a very unfair and injudicious way.
00:25:30.000 The fees being charged by Panama are ridiculous.
00:25:34.000 Highly unfair, especially knowing the extraordinary generosity that has been bestowed to Panama, I say very foolishly, by the United States.
00:25:45.000 This complete ripoff of our country will immediately stop.
00:25:50.000 It's going to stop.
00:25:53.000 The United States has a big and vested interest in the secure.
00:25:59.000 Efficient and reliable operation of the Panama Canal.
00:26:04.000 And that was always understood when they gave it to Panama.
00:26:10.000 Can you believe that?
00:26:11.000 We would never have done it if we thought what's happening now can happen.
00:26:18.000 And we would never and we will never ever let it fall into the wrong hands.
00:26:26.000 But it's falling into the wrong hands.
00:26:29.000 It was not given for the benefit of others by a token of cooperation, but it was given to Panama and to the people of Panama, but it has provisions.
00:26:42.000 You've got to treat us fairly, and they haven't treated us fairly.
00:26:45.000 If the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving...
00:26:52.000 Are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to the United States of America in full, quickly and without question.
00:27:03.000 I'm not going to stand for it.
00:27:05.000 So to the officials of Panama, please be guided accordingly.
00:27:10.000 William McKinley, the 25th president of the United States, was because of the vast sums of money that he brought into our country.
00:27:20.000 The person, really, who got us the money that President Theodore Roosevelt used to build the Panama Canal and a lot of other things.
00:27:30.000 McKinley was a very good, maybe a great president.
00:27:34.000 They took his name off Mount McKinley, right?
00:27:38.000 That's what they do to people.
00:27:40.000 Now, he was a great president, very good president at a minimum.
00:27:44.000 He was a very good businessman.
00:27:45.000 He was a businessman, then a governor.
00:27:48.000 Very successful businessman.
00:27:50.000 And then he ran for president.
00:27:51.000 And he won.
00:27:53.000 And he was able to use business principles.
00:27:56.000 And he was a strong believer in tariffs.
00:27:59.000 And we were actually probably wealthiest of any time, relatively speaking, at any point in the history of our country.
00:28:08.000 In the 1890s, we were so wealthy.
00:28:11.000 We had commissions set up.
00:28:12.000 What to do with all the money that we were taking in?
00:28:16.000 We had no income tax.
00:28:17.000 We only had tariffs.
00:28:19.000 I consider that to be the most beautiful word in the dictionary.
00:28:25.000 But President McKinley was the president that was responsible for creating a vast sum of money in the United States that Teddy Roosevelt then spent.
00:28:40.000 So let's say they were both excellent presidents.
00:28:43.000 But McKinley did that.
00:28:45.000 That's one of the reasons that we're going to bring back the name of Mount McKinley, because I think he deserves it.
00:28:55.000 I think he deserves it.
00:28:58.000 There are lots of things we can name, but I think he deserves it.
00:29:01.000 That was not very gracious to somebody that did a good job.
00:29:05.000 And as you know, he was assassinated.
00:29:07.000 He was assassinated.
00:29:09.000 We have accomplished so much in just 47 days since the election.
00:29:14.000 But that's only the beginning of what we will achieve together as the 47th President of the United States of America.
00:29:25.000 Over the past few weeks, I've nominated an all-star cabinet of some of the most fearless, determined, and brilliant individuals ever to step forward for public office.
00:29:35.000 And we're getting great reviews, I have to say, and they're all doing well.
00:29:39.000 But we're getting fantastic reviews on the people that...
00:29:43.000 We chose.
00:29:43.000 It's we chose.
00:29:45.000 Because I wouldn't choose them if...
00:29:47.000 If I didn't think you liked them, I'm not putting...
00:29:50.000 I don't have that kind of courage.
00:29:52.000 You like every one of them and everybody.
00:29:55.000 I mean, people are amazed at the quality.
00:29:57.000 Our Secretary Scott of the Treasury is central casting.
00:30:02.000 The whole group.
00:30:04.000 But to get woke us out of our military and restore...
00:30:07.000 The unquestioned strength and fighting spirit of the American Armed Forces, I've appointed Pete Hegseth to be our next Secretary of Defense.
00:30:18.000 He's going to be great.
00:30:20.000 You know, I've interviewed with him a lot on Fox, and all he ever wanted to talk about was the military, including when we were on.
00:30:29.000 He'd talk about...
00:30:30.000 The military.
00:30:31.000 He talked about how unfairly our soldiers were treated.
00:30:33.000 Can I give a pardon to this one or that one who's treated so unfairly?
00:30:38.000 They teach him to be fighting machines, and then when they fight, they want to put him in jail for 35 years.
00:30:43.000 And he was very strong on that.
00:30:45.000 That's all he wanted to talk about, really, and it just seemed so natural to me.
00:30:49.000 Plus, he had a great education, went to Princeton and Harvard, was a tremendous student, and he's a very vibrant, strong guy.
00:30:57.000 I think he's going to be great.
00:30:58.000 He's doing well to make our intelligence community respected even more.
00:31:06.000 I don't even think the word even is right, because we had some bad years with these people.
00:31:12.000 But we're going to do something.
00:31:15.000 We're going to stop looking at all of these horrible foreign wars that we've gotten ourselves through stupidity. 0.67
00:31:22.000 We're in wars at countries that nobody ever even heard of before.
00:31:26.000 And we're going to be smart.
00:31:28.000 We're going to be guided by strength.
00:31:31.000 And we're going to have peace through strength, like we had.
00:31:33.000 I had no wars other than I wiped out ISIS. We wiped out ISIS in a small fraction.
00:31:41.000 They said it was going to take five years.
00:31:44.000 It took four weeks.
00:31:47.000 We have a great military.
00:31:49.000 Not the ones you see on television.
00:31:51.000 The real generals.
00:31:53.000 But I've nominated Tulsi Gabbard as our Director of National Intelligence.
00:32:00.000 And to be our next Secretary of Health and Human Services, I decided, look, something's going on here.
00:32:08.000 When you look at, like, autism from 25 years ago, and you look at it now, something's going on, and I nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Think of it.
00:32:31.000 Think of this.
00:32:32.000 25 years ago, autism.
00:32:35.000 One in 10,000 children.
00:32:39.000 Today, it's one in 36 children.
00:32:44.000 Is something wrong?
00:32:45.000 I think so.
00:32:47.000 And Robert and I and all, we're going to figure it out.
00:32:51.000 But did you ever hear numbers like that?
00:32:53.000 Something's wrong.
00:32:54.000 Something's wrong.
00:32:56.000 Likewise, there's been a 25% increase in childhood cancer and a staggering increase in chronic diseases.
00:33:03.000 So together, we're going to make America healthy again.
00:33:07.000 We're going to make America healthy again.
00:33:09.000 Something's happening.
00:33:10.000 Something bad is happening.
00:33:15.000 And to end the weaponization of law enforcement and restore fair, equal, and impartial justice.
00:33:22.000 We will have an outstanding new Attorney General in Pam Bondi.
00:33:26.000 She's fantastic.
00:33:28.000 She is fantastic.
00:33:31.000 Known her a long time.
00:33:32.000 And I'm very pleased to report that Christopher Wray is on his way out.
00:33:37.000 He's resigned.
00:33:40.000 And he will soon be replaced by our next FBI director, somebody who I think is going to be one of the greatest, maybe the greatest director of them all, Kash Patel.
00:34:03.000 I campaigned on an agenda of delivering profound change to Washington.
00:34:08.000 And last month, the American people voted for change like they've never voted before and in overwhelming numbers.
00:34:17.000 Numbers that nobody saw coming.
00:34:19.000 I saw coming.
00:34:20.000 I think we all saw coming.
00:34:21.000 When you went to the rallies, you saw that.
00:34:24.000 We'd have, like we had in New Jersey, 107,000 people.
00:34:29.000 And they'd go out the next day and they'd have 30 people.
00:34:33.000 Maybe 40 if they were lucky.
00:34:35.000 And then I heard how it was going to be a close race.
00:34:38.000 I said, why is that?
00:34:40.000 Why is that?
00:34:40.000 I don't quite get that.
00:34:42.000 But now the Republican Senate majority is working very hard to confirm my nominees, and we appreciate it.
00:34:49.000 And with the help of this dream team cabinet, and we have so many others I won't bother mentioning, but you know every one of them, we're going to embark on the most exciting and successful period of reform and renewal in all of American history.
00:35:04.000 We're going to do something that's going to be really, really special.
00:35:07.000 You're going to be so happy.
00:35:09.000 And as you know, I made a series of...
00:35:12.000 Big day-one promises in my campaign.
00:35:15.000 You know them just as well as I do.
00:35:17.000 And 29 days from now, I intend to keep those promises to the American people.
00:35:26.000 And just as we did four years ago, my administration will live by the motto, promises made, promises kept.
00:35:36.000 We did keep our promises.
00:35:42.000 And there's a new hat.
00:35:44.000 There's a brand new hat that's out.
00:35:45.000 I saw it yesterday, the first time, and it's selling like hotcakes.
00:35:50.000 It says, Trump was right about everything.
00:35:54.000 And I don't want to brag, but we were right about just about everything.
00:35:58.000 Including foreign policy, these crazy wars that we're in.
00:36:04.000 One of the things I want to do, and quickly, and President...
00:36:08.000 Putin said that he wants to meet with me as soon as possible.
00:36:13.000 So we have to wait for this.
00:36:14.000 But we have to end that war.
00:36:16.000 That war is a horrible, horrible...
00:36:18.000 The soldiers, the number of soldiers being killed.
00:36:22.000 It's a flat plane.
00:36:23.000 And the bullets are going.
00:36:25.000 And there's powerful bullets, powerful guns.
00:36:28.000 And the only thing that's going to stop them is the human body.
00:36:32.000 They go dead flat land.
00:36:35.000 Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
00:36:38.000 Millions of soldiers have died now.
00:36:40.000 Millions.
00:36:42.000 We're seeing numbers that are just crazy.
00:36:44.000 We've got to stop it.
00:36:45.000 It's ridiculous.
00:36:46.000 Would have never happened if I was president.
00:36:48.000 That war would have never happened.
00:36:51.000 And October 7th, Israel would have never happened either. 0.91
00:37:00.000 Thank you.
00:37:02.000 So much...
00:37:03.000 Our country would be so different and the world would be so different.
00:37:07.000 But it's not.
00:37:08.000 So we have to make it great.
00:37:11.000 We're going to make it great.
00:37:12.000 We're going to do it as quickly as we can.
00:37:14.000 On my first day back in the Oval Office, I will sign a historic slate of executive orders to close our border to illegal aliens and stop the invasion of our country. 1.00
00:37:30.000 And on that same day, We will begin the largest deportation operation in American history.
00:37:36.000 Larger even than that of President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
00:37:42.000 And as part of Operation Aurora, you know all about Aurora, how horrible that's been.
00:37:49.000 Every single foreign gang and illegal alien member, all of this criminal network operating on American soil will be dismantled, deported, and destroyed. 1.00
00:38:01.000 Gonna get them out.
00:38:04.000 Think of it.
00:38:05.000 They sent their gang members to us.
00:38:08.000 Bus load after bus load, we had an open border.
00:38:13.000 Their gang members, their drug dealers, their drug addicts.
00:38:18.000 People that were sick.
00:38:20.000 People that were healthy and strong.
00:38:23.000 What the hell was that?
00:38:27.000 You get the little yips up here every once in a while.
00:38:31.000 I wonder why.
00:38:34.000 That was a strange sound.
00:38:36.000 I've heard some very strange sounds.
00:38:40.000 Every foreign gang member will be expelled, and I will immediately designate the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
00:38:48.000 We're going to do it immediately.
00:38:52.000 And we'll unleash the full power of federal law enforcement, ICE, Border Patrol.
00:38:57.000 How good is, by the way, how good is Tom Holman, right?
00:39:07.000 He's phenomenal.
00:39:08.000 I've known him a long time.
00:39:09.000 I'll bet you Sheriff Joe likes Tom Holman, right?
00:39:12.000 Sheriff Joe, yes?
00:39:14.000 Yep.
00:39:14.000 He goes, yep.
00:39:15.000 The DEA, the FBI, the intelligence community, and financial sanctions to remove the migrant gangs and criminals that are killing and raping and maiming our citizens. 1.00
00:39:27.000 We're going to get them out.
00:39:28.000 We're going to get them out.
00:39:29.000 We're going to get them out fast.
00:39:30.000 We have no choice.
00:39:31.000 We have no choice, by the way.
00:39:33.000 I don't want to do that, but we have no choice.
00:39:37.000 Last thing I want to do could have been so much easier.
00:39:42.000 The election wasn't rigged.
00:39:43.000 It would have been a much different thing, but this will show something.
00:39:47.000 This is going to show how we do it and how good we are.
00:39:51.000 You know, we showed how...
00:39:53.000 The opposite philosophy runs a country, and it wasn't good.
00:39:57.000 They had an approval rating today of 14 percent.
00:40:00.000 Nobody's ever heard.
00:40:02.000 Nobody's ever had an approval rating of 14. That's the lowest approval rating, and we're going to have a very high.
00:40:09.000 In fact, we already have a very high approval rating.
00:40:11.000 We're way up, way, way, way up, higher than almost anybody, higher than anybody as of this morning.
00:40:17.000 We will end the occupation, and January 20th will truly be...
00:40:22.000 Liberation Day in America.
00:40:25.000 Is that okay?
00:40:25.000 Liberation Day.
00:40:29.000 And this great liberation will be in honor of all of the victims of migrant crime and all of the angel moms and angel dads who have lost their really incredible kids that, you know, they're going around for years and years.
00:40:45.000 And I talk to them all the time.
00:40:47.000 I know so many of them.
00:40:49.000 And many of them are here.
00:40:52.000 And we can just say, we love you, we're with you.
00:40:56.000 They had so little help from the politicians on the other side.
00:41:02.000 We're joined today by Patty Morin, the mother of Rachel Morin, who you know all about, a beautiful mother of five who was murdered by an illegal alien monster who entered our country under the open border policies of the Biden administration.
00:41:20.000 Your borders are always not too good.
00:41:22.000 Your borders are...
00:41:23.000 That was not Tom Holman, I can tell you.
00:41:26.000 But, Patty, those days are over, and they will soon be over.
00:41:30.000 I hope we're just not going to have...
00:41:33.000 How can you say never again?
00:41:34.000 But we're going to have as few as possible.
00:41:37.000 It's going to be rough, and it's going to be rough for the ones that do that kind of damage to you and to our country.
00:41:44.000 Where is Patty? 0.96
00:41:45.000 Is she here someplace?
00:41:46.000 I just want to thank her.
00:41:49.000 Hi, Patty.
00:41:50.000 Thank you very much.
00:41:51.000 Thank you very much for being here.
00:41:53.000 Appreciate it.
00:41:56.000 Thank you very much.
00:41:58.000 Do you want to come up for a second, Patty?
00:42:00.000 Huh?
00:42:01.000 Do you want to come up?
00:42:04.000 I had lunch with Patty, and she suffered.
00:42:10.000 She suffered greatly.
00:42:13.000 I said, let me help you with your eyes, because I want to help her with her eyes.
00:42:19.000 An eye situation that can be fixed with some medical help.
00:42:22.000 Many of them can't be fixed.
00:42:24.000 I said, Patty, get your eyes taken care of. 1.00
00:42:26.000 I'll take care of it.
00:42:27.000 Just get it done.
00:42:28.000 I hope you got it done.
00:42:29.000 Did you have them done yet?
00:42:30.000 Did you have it done yet, Patty?
00:42:35.000 That's great.
00:42:36.000 Oh, you look good, Patty.
00:42:40.000 Be careful.
00:42:41.000 Did you have your eyes done yet, Patty?
00:42:50.000 You get them done, okay?
00:42:52.000 January.
00:42:53.000 Oh, good.
00:42:54.000 Good.
00:42:55.000 She's going to get them done in January.
00:42:57.000 Good.
00:42:58.000 Thank you.
00:42:59.000 Thank you.
00:43:05.000 The first time I met President Trump in person, he invited us to lunch, my attorney and I. And to be honest, I didn't do anything.
00:43:15.000 I just sat there.
00:43:16.000 I didn't really speak because I wanted to watch the man and listen to what he had to say and what his conversation was like because I knew he wasn't a politician, but I knew that he had been president before, and I wanted to see if he was a real, authentic man who actually cared for the American people.
00:43:42.000 So I watched him.
00:43:44.000 I watched how he interacted.
00:43:45.000 I also watched how much his staff really respected him and how much his staff loved working for him.
00:43:53.000 But the thing that changed the way that I looked at him as a person was I realized that he was a dad, that he was a grandfather, and when you spoke to him, you could see in his eyes that he genuinely cared.
00:44:12.000 About his fellow human being.
00:44:14.000 But the thing...
00:44:16.000 The thing I appreciate the most is that he heard the cries of a mother.
00:44:29.000 And he cared.
00:44:31.000 And he...
00:44:32.000 And he made a promise.
00:44:40.000 That he was going to protect us and that he was going to help us.
00:44:45.000 And that's all you can ask from your president, but also just from a fellow human being.
00:44:53.000 And so I personally, I am so honored to know this man and to think of you as a friend.
00:45:00.000 Thank you.
00:45:30.000 Thank you very much.
00:45:44.000 She's been through hell.
00:45:47.000 Who wouldn't be?
00:45:48.000 I mean, so many people, so many...
00:45:50.000 I call them angel moms, and they go through hell.
00:45:58.000 And many of them say it doesn't get any better, but we have to hope it does get better.
00:46:03.000 Also with us is a very special guy, the president of the National Border Patrol Council, Paul Perez.
00:46:11.000 He's incredible.
00:46:12.000 He's -- -- he's doing a fantastic job, and he wants to do the job right.
00:46:20.000 Hey, Paul, come on up here, Paul, quick.
00:46:22.000 Quickly.
00:46:24.000 Paul, in one month, the patriots of Border Patrol will once again have a president who will back you and will have you, and we're going to work together, as we have done in the past.
00:46:37.000 You know, we had...
00:46:39.000 The safest border in the history of our country.
00:46:43.000 And you remember the famous sign that I pulled down?
00:46:46.000 That sign was about how good the border was.
00:46:48.000 I haven't used that sign much lately.
00:46:51.000 Well, we won, so I guess I don't have to use it.
00:46:53.000 But we really do have to use it because the fact is that we have to have strong, safe borders and we have to have men like this and women who are doing an unbelievable job.
00:47:07.000 I've gotten to know a lot of them.
00:47:08.000 I'll tell you what, they're tougher than I am.
00:47:11.000 I don't want to mess with them, right?
00:47:13.000 But this man has done as the head, and also replacing a very good guy.
00:47:20.000 We know that, right?
00:47:22.000 And he's going to have a good life, I hope, because he was a very special guy, and you're a very special guy.
00:47:27.000 Say a few words, please, Paul.
00:47:32.000 I mean, we're back.
00:47:37.000 America is back.
00:47:39.000 The strength and security that Donald Trump brings to the White House is what we've needed.
00:47:45.000 He's done it before.
00:47:46.000 He's gonna do it again.
00:47:48.000 We're gonna make all of these communities safe.
00:47:51.000 And like Tom Holman said, if you're not gonna help, get the hell out of the way.
00:47:59.000 Donald Trump is by far the best president in the history of this country.
00:48:05.000 And he's going to show everybody exactly why.
00:48:08.000 Thank you.
00:48:13.000 Thank you very much, Paul, and everybody, and Brendan Judd, all of the people.
00:48:22.000 They do such an incredible job.
00:48:24.000 We're also pleased to be joined by a man who just also, we really did well in Texas.
00:48:30.000 And I heard Ted's speech.
00:48:32.000 And he can come up and speak more if he wants, or he can just, you know, Ted's going to be going to a big event in a little while.
00:48:39.000 Where's Ted Cruz?
00:48:40.000 Is he here?
00:48:40.000 He's here someplace.
00:48:42.000 Ted?
00:48:43.000 Ted?
00:48:45.000 Oh.
00:48:46.000 Oh.
00:48:48.000 Oh, he's in trouble.
00:48:54.000 He's in trouble.
00:48:57.000 No, he was here.
00:49:01.000 Oh, good.
00:49:02.000 He's not in trouble.
00:49:10.000 Thank you.
00:49:15.000 Keep Texas, Texas.
00:49:16.000 Amen.
00:49:20.000 And I've got to say, this election has given President Donald J. Trump, a Republican Senate and a Republican House, a clear mandate to deliver on our promises. a clear mandate to deliver on our promises.
00:49:39.000 One month from today, President Trump will secure the border.
00:49:48.000 We are going to bring back jobs.
00:49:50.000 We are going to lower prices.
00:49:51.000 We are going to protect American families.
00:49:54.000 We are going to put criminals in jail.
00:49:56.000 We are going to keep our kids safe.
00:50:02.000 We are going to end foreign wars with victory. 0.55
00:50:08.000 And I'll tell you, Mr. President, the results of this election.
00:50:12.000 Seven battleground states.
00:50:13.000 You won all seven.
00:50:16.000 The people elected a Republican Senate and a Republican House to have your back, and we are going to deliver results.
00:50:26.000 And if I can speak parochially for a minute, one of the most consequential things that happened in this race in Texas, you won profoundly in Texas, and both you and you won profoundly in Texas, and both you and I won a majority of Hispanic votes in the great state of Texas.
00:50:49.000 Thank you.
00:50:54.000 That is unprecedented.
00:50:56.000 That is generational change, and it demonstrates that we are going to protect our nation, we are going to bring our country back, and we are going to make America great again.
00:51:09.000 PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: He's a great -- he's actually a great guy with He was really out there working.
00:51:25.000 Oh, I'm so glad he was here.
00:51:27.000 That was an amazing moment.
00:51:36.000 But we want to thank him.
00:51:37.000 He had a great race and did a fantastic job against, like, $250 million spent against him.
00:51:44.000 But Texas was very special, and it will remain very special.
00:51:50.000 Really excellent people.
00:51:52.000 Great people.
00:51:54.000 And the governor's doing a fantastic job in Texas.
00:51:58.000 Your senator.
00:52:00.000 Dan Patrick.
00:52:02.000 Everybody's doing attorney general.
00:52:05.000 Also, I want to bring up, if I could, or just say hello to him on the outskirts, because you've got a lot of people in this room.
00:52:11.000 You've got a lot more people outside than you have in the room.
00:52:14.000 The RNC chairman, Michael Watley, who is so fantastic.
00:52:18.000 In what he did with Lara, the two of them were so great.
00:52:23.000 Where's Michael?
00:52:24.000 Come on up, Michael.
00:52:26.000 Come here.
00:52:27.000 This guy did some job.
00:52:29.000 It takes three things to win in a battleground state.
00:52:43.000 Number one, you got to get out the vote.
00:52:47.000 Number two, you've got to protect the ballot.
00:52:51.000 And number three, you have to have a great candidate who runs a great race.
00:53:00.000 The people in this room helped us get out the vote.
00:53:05.000 They helped us protect the ballot.
00:53:08.000 We would not have been able to win all those battleground states without you.
00:53:14.000 But when it comes to having a great candidate who runs a great race, there is simply nobody better ever than the 45th and now 47th president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.
00:53:33.000 Thank you.
00:53:36.000 Thank you very much.
00:53:46.000 He really has.
00:53:47.000 He really has.
00:53:48.000 And Laura has done an incredible job.
00:53:50.000 What a pleasure.
00:53:52.000 They were fighting.
00:53:53.000 They had so many lawyers.
00:53:54.000 They were fighting the enemy like you wouldn't believe.
00:53:58.000 I mentioned Tom Holman, but special.
00:54:00.000 He's going to do so well.
00:54:02.000 A friend of mine who I haven't seen in a little while, Matt Gaetz, is here.
00:54:06.000 Where's Matt?
00:54:06.000 He's around here someplace.
00:54:08.000 Matt Gaetz.
00:54:10.000 He's got a big career set up.
00:54:13.000 And I just want to say hello to Matt and Arizona GOP chair, Gina Swoboda.
00:54:20.000 Wow, she's... 1.00
00:54:21.000 She is very...
00:54:24.000 Gina? 0.68
00:54:24.000 Where's Gina? 0.68
00:54:26.000 Because we're going to be backing Gina to run again.
00:54:29.000 There she is, Gina.
00:54:33.000 Gina, are you going to run again?
00:54:35.000 Yes?
00:54:36.000 Because if you do, you have my endorsement.
00:54:40.000 So that should be good.
00:54:42.000 Thank you.
00:54:43.000 Thank you, darling.
00:54:45.000 Great job you've done.
00:54:47.000 A great professional golfer, a friend of mine.
00:54:50.000 He's really a good golfer.
00:54:51.000 Tom Pernice is here someplace.
00:54:53.000 Tom, wherever you may be.
00:54:56.000 Hello, Tom.
00:54:57.000 Don't play him in golf.
00:54:58.000 Play him in other things, but not golf.
00:55:02.000 Trish Dugan is here, who is just a fantastic. 1.00
00:55:06.000 Where is Trish? 0.99
00:55:07.000 She's one of my great friends.
00:55:09.000 Thank you very much.
00:55:10.000 Has she helped?
00:55:12.000 Trish has helped us so at a level that very few people can even dream of.
00:55:17.000 So I want to thank you very much.
00:55:19.000 Trish Duggan, please.
00:55:21.000 Thanks.
00:55:21.000 Where's Trish?
00:55:22.000 Thank you, Trish.

00:55:25.000 Is that Carrie Lake? 0.95
00:55:26.000 Yes.
00:55:27.000 Hi, Carrie.
00:55:27.000 Stand up, Carrie.
00:55:29.000 Hi.
00:55:34.000 Hi.
00:55:36.000 Good job.
00:55:36.000 Worked hard.
00:55:39.000 That was...
00:55:40.000 She's a good woman.
00:55:42.000 And she's going to be doing something very big.
00:55:45.000 Maybe bigger.
00:55:47.000 It's a big one that you have.
00:55:48.000 So good luck with it.
00:55:49.000 You're going to do well.
00:55:51.000 Going to turn that around like nobody ever saw before.
00:55:53.000 So thank you very much for accepting it.
00:55:56.000 Sergio Gore, a friend of mine who's doing a fabulous job leading the presidential personnel.
00:56:02.000 He's really working hard.
00:56:04.000 Where's Sergio?
00:56:05.000 He's around here someplace.
00:56:06.000 Sergio!
00:56:07.000 Where is he?
00:56:08.000 Hi, Sergio.
00:56:10.000 Good job you're doing.
00:56:11.000 We have some big announcements over the next few days, too.
00:56:14.000 Big ones.
00:56:14.000 A great actor who's been with us for a long time when it wasn't fashionable, Rob Schneider.
00:56:20.000 Rob.
00:56:26.000 He was here with a few of his friends when it wasn't quite as fashionable.
00:56:30.000 Right, Rob?
00:56:31.000 But you were here.
00:56:33.000 Thank you very much.
00:56:33.000 Great job you're doing, too.
00:56:37.000 Karen Ropeson.
00:56:38.000 Where is Karen? 0.97
00:56:39.000 Karen is here, and she's, I hear, running for governor.
00:56:45.000 She's going to be running for governor. 1.00
00:56:47.000 Where's Karen? 1.00
00:56:48.000 Hi, Karen.
00:56:50.000 Hello, Karen.
00:56:51.000 Are you running for governor?
00:56:52.000 I think so, Karen, because if you do, you're going to have my support, okay?
00:56:58.000 You're going to have my support.
00:57:02.000 A man that is very non-controversial.
00:57:06.000 Very unique.
00:57:07.000 He really is a unique person, but he doesn't like controversy.
00:57:11.000 His name is Steve Bannon.
00:57:12.000 Has anyone ever heard of Steve?
00:57:14.000 Where's Steve?
00:57:18.000 Hello.
00:57:18.000 Hi, Steve.
00:57:19.000 A big, powerful voice he's got.
00:57:29.000 His show is phenomenal.
00:57:30.000 War Room.
00:57:32.000 Man, thank you, Steve.
00:57:33.000 There's nobody like Steve.
00:57:36.000 Thank you very much, Steve.
00:57:38.000 And a Phoenix police officer who was shot eight times in the line of duty, Tyler Moldovan, who I just saw backstage.
00:57:48.000 Where's Tyler?
00:57:49.000 Oh, he's got to be right there.
00:57:51.000 There he is.
00:57:53.000 Hi, Tyler.
00:57:55.000 Thank you, Tyler.
00:57:58.000 Hi, Tyler.
00:58:01.000 Wow.
00:58:04.000 Thank you, Tyler.
00:58:05.000 Eight times, Can you believe that?
00:58:16.000 Think of that.
00:58:17.000 Eight times and he's looking great.
00:58:19.000 Thank you very much.
00:58:20.000 And to your family, beautiful wife.
00:58:23.000 With the stroke of my pen on day one, we're going to stop the transgender lunacy. 1.00
00:58:33.000 And I will sign executive orders to end child sexual mutilation, get transgender out of the military and out of our elementary schools and middle schools and high school. 1.00
00:59:00.000 And we will keep men out of women's sports. . 0.99
00:59:09.000 And that will likewise be done on day one.
00:59:12.000 Should I do day one, day two, or day three?
00:59:15.000 How about day one, right?
00:59:18.000 Under the Trump administration, it will be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female. 0.86
00:59:29.000 Doesn't sound too complicated, does it?
00:59:37.000 To rescue our economy, I will sign day-one orders to end all Biden restrictions on energy production, terminate his insane electric vehicle mandate, cancel his natural gas export ban, reopen ANWR in Alaska, the biggest site potentially anywhere in the world.
01:00:00.000 And declare a national energy emergency.
01:00:03.000 And do we have great people in energy, head of energy, Chris Wright.
01:00:10.000 And Doug Bugham is the interior.
01:00:13.000 And I merged both of them.
01:00:16.000 You know, the energy had no energy.
01:00:18.000 It just had the right to do energy.
01:00:20.000 And interior had all the energy, but it didn't have the right to drill.
01:00:23.000 So I merged them.
01:00:25.000 And they're great friends.
01:00:26.000 They're both very talented people.
01:00:29.000 We're going to have so much oil and gas and other things, you won't know what to do with it.
01:00:33.000 You'll say, please, President Trump, stop.
01:00:35.000 We have too much.
01:00:37.000 The prices are going too low, sir.
01:00:41.000 Remember, we were $1.84 a gallon gasoline.
01:00:45.000 Wouldn't that be nice?
01:00:50.000 I will direct every cabinet secretary to cut.
01:00:54.000 Ten old regulations for every new regulation, which I did last time.
01:01:00.000 We'll be getting rid of a lot of...
01:01:02.000 Last time, last term, for me, we did something special.
01:01:09.000 We cut more regulations by four times than any other president in history, and we're going to top that record.
01:01:15.000 Some of those ridiculous regulations were...
01:01:18.000 Immediately put back on, and they were just hurting our country.
01:01:22.000 That's why we had the best job numbers ever, because of what we did with regulation.
01:01:27.000 You know, we cut taxes more than any president in history, and we cut regulations more than any president in history.
01:01:32.000 And when I asked the people that run the big companies, which is more important, cutting the taxes or cutting the regulations?
01:01:40.000 Every single one of them so far has said the regulations were more important for jobs and everything else.
01:01:46.000 Who would think that?
01:01:47.000 But I will order federal workers to get back to the office in person or be terminated from the job immediately.
01:01:56.000 And we will create the new Department of Government Efficiency, headed by Elon Musk.
01:02:03.000 And no, he's not taking the presidency.
01:02:15.000 I like having smart people.
01:02:17.000 You know, they're on a new kick.
01:02:19.000 Russia, Russia, Russia.
01:02:21.000 Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine.
01:02:22.000 All the different hoaxes.
01:02:24.000 The new one is, President Trump has ceded the presidency to Elon Musk.
01:02:30.000 No.
01:02:31.000 No.
01:02:33.000 That's not happening.
01:02:37.000 But Elon's done an amazing job.
01:02:40.000 Isn't it nice to have smart people that we can rely on?
01:02:43.000 Don't we want that?
01:02:44.000 He's done a great job.
01:02:48.000 And I'll tell you, he landed that rocket a few months ago.
01:02:53.000 It landed.
01:02:54.000 It's coming down so fast, 17,000 miles an hour, he says.
01:02:58.000 And coming down, it looks like it's getting ready.
01:03:00.000 And then all of a sudden, the jets go on.
01:03:03.000 It slows it down.
01:03:04.000 Then it's almost stopped it.
01:03:06.000 And it guides it over left, right, up, high, down.
01:03:09.000 I said, what the hell's going on?
01:03:11.000 Because nobody ever saw this before.
01:03:13.000 And then it has the big gantry, very expensive.
01:03:17.000 It looks like it's going to be smashed as smithereens.
01:03:20.000 And then those jet engines roared from the bottom.
01:03:22.000 It's coming in this way, a little hot.
01:03:25.000 And the engines pushed it straight, it landed.
01:03:31.000 And it was like you're hugging a beautiful baby.
01:03:34.000 Baby!
01:03:36.000 No, not that.
01:03:38.000 Baby.
01:03:39.000 But it was the most incredible thing.
01:03:42.000 And then...
01:03:43.000 He got into his car and or plane or whatever, however he went, and he went to Pennsylvania and he stayed up there for a month and helped us to win that state, which we won by a lot.
01:03:57.000 So he was really good.
01:04:01.000 And he supplied Starlink for North Carolina when they had no form of communication.
01:04:08.000 They said, sir, do you know Elon Musk here?
01:04:11.000 Well, we can't get Starlink.
01:04:13.000 It's very hard to get.
01:04:14.000 And I called Elon.
01:04:15.000 We have to get some up there.
01:04:17.000 You got to get some up there.
01:04:18.000 And he got over 2,000 units.
01:04:21.000 That's a lot.
01:04:22.000 And they flooded it with Starlink.
01:04:24.000 And it was so good.
01:04:25.000 It saved a lot of lives.
01:04:26.000 So we want to thank him.
01:04:27.000 But no, he's not going to be president.
01:04:30.000 That I can tell you.
01:04:34.000 And I'm safe.
01:04:35.000 You know why?
01:04:36.000 He can't be.
01:04:37.000 He wasn't born in this country.
01:04:41.000 But the fake news knows that.
01:04:44.000 Now, he's a great guy, and we want to have him.
01:04:46.000 Everybody, so many people are in this audience that have helped to an extent that you wouldn't believe.
01:04:52.000 But we're going to bring transparency and accountability back to our government, and we'll be very soon, you're going to see it drain the swamp.
01:05:00.000 We're going to be draining that swamp at levels never seen before.
01:05:05.000 And I hope everybody goes home and reads the...
01:05:09.000 Congressional report on the criminal activities of the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, J6 Committee.
01:05:15.000 What they did is so illegal.
01:05:19.000 And Congress has done a fantastic job on that.
01:05:23.000 They just put out a report.
01:05:25.000 They call it an interim report.
01:05:26.000 It's brutal.
01:05:27.000 On them, not on me, on them.
01:05:30.000 And it's terrible, what they've done.
01:05:34.000 What they've done to this country is just absolutely terrible.
01:05:37.000 But we'll end the left's campaign of racial discrimination and restore equality to our land and all over our land.
01:05:48.000 And you see that happening so much with the vote and the kind of vote we got.
01:05:53.000 Nobody ever expected anything like that.
01:05:56.000 And I'll end all of the Marxist diversity, equity and inclusion policies across the entire federal government immediately.
01:06:04.000 And at the same time, we will ban these unlawful policies.
01:06:09.000 We're going to ban them from the private sector as well.
01:06:12.000 In America, we believe in the merit system.
01:06:16.000 The merit system.
01:06:18.000 And now, because of the major decision handed down recently by the Supreme Court, our country has again gone back to the merit system.
01:06:29.000 That's what made our country great.
01:06:31.000 And I want to just thank the Supreme Court because that took a great deal of courage for them to do that.
01:06:37.000 And some people were surprised by it.
01:06:39.000 But that's what made us great.
01:06:41.000 Merit made us great.
01:06:43.000 I will direct our military to begin construction of the great Iron Dome Missile Defense Shield, which will be made all in the USA, much of it right here in Arizona. 0.94
01:06:58.000 You know, Ronald Reagan wanted to do it many, many years ago, but they didn't really have the technology.
01:07:04.000 It's lucky that he didn't because they didn't, but they have it now.
01:07:07.000 He can knock a needle out of the sky.
01:07:10.000 And as Commander-in-Chief, I will restore the proud and historic names of our great military bases like Fort Bragg.
01:07:17.000 we're going to get them back.
01:07:19.000 And woke has to stop.
01:07:28.000 Because along with everything else, it's destroying our country.
01:07:32.000 We're going to stop woke.
01:07:34.000 Woke.
01:07:35.000 Woke is bullshit.
01:07:50.000 As an example, in addition to the military bases, I understand they want to now rename 14 ships.
01:07:58.000 We want to rename them.
01:08:00.000 Some of these ships have had a great and glorious past.
01:08:03.000 They want to take the name off and put another name down.
01:08:06.000 I can imagine whose name they're going to put up.
01:08:08.000 Not going to happen with me.
01:08:09.000 It's not happening with me, I can promise you.
01:08:13.000 The actions I have described today are just a small preview of the common sense revolution, because that's what I call it, a common sense revolution.
01:08:23.000 That's coming soon to America, to a theater near you, right?
01:08:29.000 But it's coming to you through your president, Donald J. Trump.
01:08:34.000 The people have given us their trust, and in return, we're going to give them the best day one, the biggest first week, and the most extraordinary first 100 days of any president in American history.
01:08:51.000 And in conclusion, on January 20th, the United States will turn the page forever on four long, horrible years of failure, incompetence, national decline, and we will inaugurate a new era of peace, prosperity, and national greatness.
01:09:12.000 It's going to be national greatness will be something very, very special.
01:09:18.000 And you could use a little of that because you haven't seen any of it in four years.
01:09:22.000 What's happened to our country is so sad.
01:09:24.000 We're going to cut your taxes, end inflation, slash your prices, raise your wages, and bring thousands of factories roaring back to America and right back here to Arizona. 0.99
01:09:37.000 Because when I agreed to do this, and I had to do it for Charlie because he's special.
01:09:47.000 But I said, Charlie, I'll do it.
01:09:50.000 But this has to be also a real tribute to Arizona because they gave us such a big win.
01:09:55.000 And I said, I'll get in my plane at 4.45 in the morning and I'll fly here.
01:10:01.000 But we have to really acknowledge and take care of the people of Arizona because you were fantastic.
01:10:08.000 And I just want to thank you for that big win.
01:10:10.000 Not an easy win.
01:10:14.000 And we're going to build American.
01:10:16.000 We're going to buy American.
01:10:18.000 And we will hire American. 0.72
01:10:20.000 I will end the war in Ukraine.
01:10:23.000 I will stop the chaos in the Middle East. 1.00
01:10:26.000 And I will prevent, I promise, World War III. And we're very close to World War III. We will crush violent crime.
01:10:38.000 We're going to stop violent crime.
01:10:39.000 We're going to have to be tough.
01:10:40.000 Please get ready.
01:10:42.000 You're going to have to be tough.
01:10:42.000 We can't let this happen.
01:10:44.000 Our cities are crumbling.
01:10:46.000 And give our police the support, protection, resources, and respect they so dearly deserve.
01:10:57.000 And I rebuilt our entire military at a level that it had never been.
01:11:01.000 Unfortunately, we gave a big chunk of it to Afghanistan.
01:11:04.000 You believe that one?
01:11:06.000 What a terrible thing.
01:11:07.000 But we will...
01:11:08.000 Again, rebuild those sections of our military that have been so badly hurt.
01:11:13.000 Plus, we give so much of it away.
01:11:16.000 You know, when I came in the last time, we had no ammunition.
01:11:20.000 Can you believe it?
01:11:21.000 I was greeted with a general, sir, we're very low, almost no ammunition.
01:11:26.000 I said, keep it quiet.
01:11:28.000 Let's not let the enemy know that.
01:11:30.000 That doesn't sound too good.
01:11:31.000 Steve Banner would say, that's not a good thing.
01:11:33.000 No ammunition is not good.
01:11:35.000 Right, Steve?
01:11:38.000 And I built so much ammunition so fast.
01:11:41.000 Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
01:11:43.000 We give a lot of our ammunition away, as you know.
01:11:47.000 And we have to take care of ourselves.
01:11:49.000 We have to protect ourselves.
01:11:51.000 And we have to make our country great.
01:11:54.000 We just can't keep doing what we're doing.
01:11:57.000 Especially when these wars never had to start.
01:12:00.000 They never had to start.
01:12:02.000 We will rebuild our once great cities, including our capital in Washington, D.C., making them safe, clean, and beautiful again.
01:12:10.000 And we'll do it quickly.
01:12:11.000 We'll teach our children to love our country, to honor our history, and to always respect our great American flag.
01:12:23.000 We will get critical race theory and transgender insanity. 1.00
01:12:29.000 The hell out of our schools, and we're going to get it out of our schools very fast.
01:12:39.000 I will defend religious liberty, I will restore free speech, and I will defend the right to keep and bear arms.
01:12:52.000 And after years of building up foreign nations, defending foreign borders, and protecting foreign lands, We are finally going to build up our country, defend our borders, and protect our citizens.
01:13:07.000 We're going to protect our citizens.
01:13:11.000 And we will stop illegal immigration once and for all. 0.94
01:13:17.000 It's going to stop.
01:13:18.000 You're not going to have an invasion of our country any longer.
01:13:22.000 That will stop in just a few very short weeks.
01:13:27.000 We will not be occupied.
01:13:29.000 We will not be overrun.
01:13:32.000 We will not be conquered.
01:13:33.000 We will be a free and proud nation again, a nation led by competent people, a nation that we can be proud of.
01:13:43.000 We're going to be so proud of our nation.
01:13:45.000 We already are.
01:13:46.000 It's already happened.
01:13:47.000 Remember what I said.
01:13:48.000 There's new light all over the world, not just here.
01:13:52.000 All over the world.
01:13:54.000 Everyone will prosper.
01:13:55.000 Every family will thrive, and every day will be filled with opportunity and hope, and will be filled with a thing called the American Dream.
01:14:05.000 We're going to have the American Dream back.
01:14:11.000 For the past nine years, you and I fought side by side against the most sinister and corrupt forces on Earth.
01:14:20.000 And in our magnificent victory on November 5th, you showed them once and for all, That this nation does not belong to them. 0.83
01:14:28.000 This nation belongs to you.
01:14:31.000 That's what happened.
01:14:36.000 It was hard-working patriots like you who built this country.
01:14:40.000 And in 2024, it was hard-working patriots like you who turned out and voted and saved our country.
01:14:50.000 That's what happened.
01:14:54.000 After all we have been through together, we now stand on the verge of the four greatest years in American history.
01:15:02.000 We're going to make these the four greatest years in the history of our country.
01:15:07.000 With your help, we will restore America's promise.
01:15:11.000 We will rebuild the nation that we love, and we will do it very, very fast.
01:15:18.000 That's what we want.
01:15:20.000 We are one people.
01:15:21.000 One family and one glorious nation under God.
01:15:26.000 We will never give in.
01:15:27.000 We will never give up.
01:15:29.000 We will never back down.
01:15:31.000 And we will never, ever, ever, ever surrender.
01:15:39.000 Together, we will fight, fight, fight.
01:15:42.000 And we will win, win, win.
01:15:44.000 We're going to win a lot.
01:15:48.000 And together, we will We will make America powerful
01:16:20.000 again.
01:16:20.000 America safe again.
01:16:24.000 And we will make America great again.
01:16:29.000 Thank you very much.
01:16:31.000 And thank you, Arizona.
01:16:32.000 Happy New Year.
01:16:33.000 Merry Christmas.
01:16:35.000 Thank you very much.
01:16:36.000 Thank you.
