00:02:32.120
Lower prices, bigger paychecks. President Trump touting the administration's legislative and economic wins while warning Democrats are gearing up to undo them if they win the midterms.
00:02:43.600
One of the greatest victories we have achieved for hardworking Americans, with the help of our great Republican majorities in Congress, is no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, and as I told you before, no tax on overtime, which affects you.
00:03:11.080
The president also addressing Operation Epic Fury against Iran, including a new international effort to offset rising oil prices.
00:03:35.420
But I'm pleased to report that earlier today, the International Energy Agency agreed to coordinate the release of a record 400 million barrels of oil from various national petroleum reserves around the world, which will substantially reduce the oil prices.
00:03:51.880
As we end this threat to America and this threat to the world, we don't want to leave early, do we?
00:04:04.500
And that's because, you know, there'll be some day when you don't have me as president.
00:04:10.640
Perhaps you'll have a weak, pathetic person like we've had in the past.
00:04:17.180
Like Barack Hussein Obama, who signed one of the worst deals ever with Iran.
00:04:23.000
The stop in northern Kentucky, notable for another reason.

He voted against tax cuts for overtime workers.
00:04:54.740
And he voted against tax cuts for earners, tip earners.
00:05:02.360
He voted against our historic funding for border security.
00:05:07.120
And he voted against eligibility verification for welfare recipients.
00:05:32.140
And most importantly, he is disloyal to the United States of America.
00:05:37.040
The president inviting several guests to speak, including YouTube star and boxer Jake Paul.
00:05:45.440
You know, we never back down from a fight, even if they're much bigger than you, much, much bigger than you.
00:05:51.500
And I feel all the local Kentuckians feel the same way.
00:06:15.500

The Secret Service says criminal charges are pending.

Our sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition, says Washington politicians are always getting in your wallet,
00:07:58.540
They say your credit card and the security it offers are under attack,
00:08:01.780
and that Senators Dick Durbin and Roger Marshall want to change the nation's payment system
00:08:06.520
to benefit corporate megastores like Walmart and Target at the expense of everyday Americans.
00:08:12.840
Credit cards can keep your payments secure and provide rewards that families use
00:08:16.500
to help make everyday purchases more affordable.
00:08:19.080
The Electronic Payments Coalition says the Durbin-Marshall mandates
00:08:22.980
would let corporate megastores cut corners on credit card processing,
00:08:26.340
routing transactions over cheaper, untested networks with weaker security and fewer protections.

my realtor was like, oh, this is a perfect house for young kids.
00:11:51.400
And I'm like, I know I built it for my children.
00:11:53.660
And we moved into a military installation for our kids' security, my husband's security,
00:12:00.940
and to ensure that my husband felt safe and my kids felt safe pushing a stroller.
00:12:04.560
