| Welcome, patriots, ladies and gentlemen, and lovers of unity inside of our movement. | ||
| Lovers of America First, tonight is going to be an absolute banner evening in New Hampshire, when Vivek Ranswamy and Donald Trump will be on the stage for the first time ever. | ||
| Remember, they didn't even debate each other. | ||
| Donald Trump hasn't done any of the debates. | ||
| He didn't need to, quite clearly, after the result last night. | ||
| And we are live once again. | ||
| We traveled all morning. | ||
| Flights were nuts, so we weren't able to do a live show today. | ||
| So we thought, why not take you live to New Hampshire to listen to Vivek and Donald Trump together on stage talking about their vision for the MAGA movement? | ||
| And what a beautiful way to present that than to bring together the two sort of standard bearers for the MAGA movement. | ||
| Now, what's been interesting is that Donald Trump obviously laying forth the America First agenda. | ||
| Kind of co-opted from Ronald Reagan in a way. | ||
| Ronald Reagan's initial campaign slogan, Make America Great Again. | ||
| Literally Ronald Reagan's campaign slogan. | ||
| Donald Trump grabbing that manifest, moving it forward. | ||
| Vivek doing it for a very different generation. | ||
| Vivek is 38 years old. | ||
| Vivek just spent $30 million investing in his own campaign in Iowa and got 8% of the vote, effectively as a nobody, as a no one, as someone that nobody heard of. | ||
| And he took the... | ||
| Tenets of Donald Trump's MAGA movement, the modern MAGA movement, and he brought them to a new generation. | ||
| Vivek Ranswamy dropped out last night, said he doesn't see a path forward for himself, and that now is the time for Make America Great Again in the White House and fully endorse Donald Trump, saying on Truth Social that he is going to be, I'm sorry, correction, saying on Twitter.com that he is going to make sure that he does everything in his power. | ||
| To ensure that Donald Trump has victory in November. | ||
| What a wonderful thing to see. | ||
| What a great thing to see. | ||
| He's getting obviously plaudits from the Trump family. | ||
| Thank you, Vivek Ron Swann, for doing the right thing and endorsing Donald Trump. | ||
| You should be proud of the race you ran. | ||
| We look forward to having you on Team MAGA. | ||
| Let's win, says Donald Trump Jr. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Let's go ahead and read. | ||
| Here's Vivek retweeting us. | ||
| Let's go ahead and read actually what Vivek said last night as he was leaving the race. | ||
| This entire campaign is about speaking truth. | ||
| We did not achieve our goal this time. | ||
| We need America First, Patriot in the White House. | ||
| The people who spoke loud and clear said they want Donald Trump. | ||
| Tonight I am suspending my campaign and endorsing Donald Trump. | ||
| I'll do everything I can to make sure that he is the next president of the United States. | ||
| I'm enormously proud of this team, this movement, and our country. | ||
| Vivek ran a clean race, an interesting race, a fascinating race, and a race that has inspired a lot of people in a very different generation and brought the ideas, sometimes imperfectly and sometimes perfectly, to that generation. | ||
| And it was very interesting traveling around with Vivek in Iowa to see the youth on the campaign. | ||
| There were so many young people at his rallies and at his events. | ||
| Well, ladies and gentlemen, they will be together on stage, they meaning Donald Trump and Vivek, for the first time in moments here after, of course, Donald Trump's avalanche of a victory last night in Iowa. | ||
| And those aren't my words. | ||
| Those are the words of some of the people that don't like Donald Trump that much on Fox News. | ||
| So, on Fox, Fox and Friends show, some of the people that are... | ||
| I'm pretty viscerally, and had been pretty viscerally anti-Trump, had to admit this last night. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump did not have, I was thinking about it this morning, he didn't have a landslide. | |
| It was so-called, he had an avalanche. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And so the question is... | |
| So Donald Trump had an avalanche. | ||
| Donald Trump posted this Vivek Ranswamy tweet, or Vivek Ranswamy tweet on his truth, said, thank you, Vivek, a great honor. | ||
| So Vivek Ranswamy has sort of emerged from Trump's criticism. | ||
| Trump criticized Ranswamy up until the last 11th hours of the Iowa caucus and said a vote for Vivek is a vote for the other side. | ||
| And then Trump turning on a dime, as does happen, and now embracing Vivek at a MAG rally that we will be bringing to you live soon. | ||
| We have obviously the previews up. | ||
| And as soon as the two take the stage, then we will cut to the MAGA rally. | ||
| Vivek Ronswami tweeting just a moment ago, just arrived in New Hampshire, joining a Trump rally in a couple hours. | ||
| I will not hold back. | ||
| Time to end the GOP primary and secure victory in November. | ||
| America first, always, with an America flag emoji. | ||
| So this is a sign of things to come for Vivek. | ||
| Time to end the GOP primary and secure victory in November. | ||
| Do you agree with that? | ||
| Do you feel that? | ||
| I certainly do. | ||
| Like, what exactly is the point of what Ron DeSantis is doing right now? | ||
| What exactly is the point of what Nikki Haley is doing right now? | ||
| It really makes absolutely no sense, unless, of course, you are running in order to, well, as a plant, actually. | ||
| What they accused Vivek of doing. | ||
| What Vivek is doing is what you'd do if you weren't a plant. | ||
| You'd say, oh, I see no path. | ||
| You know, we ran a clean race. | ||
| We ran a good race. | ||
| We did what we came to do. | ||
| And now it's time to endorse the winner. | ||
| Because Donald Trump's clearly the winner of the Republican primary. | ||
| If you're a Nikki Haley and you're literally a plant from Democrats, well then what will you do? | ||
| You'll continue the run. | ||
| You'll continue because you're funded exclusively by Democrats. | ||
| And your supporters are Democrats. | ||
| And the reason why you're running is because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are so broken that Democrats can't support them because they know they'll lose. | ||
| And so Democrats would just... | ||
| As well, put a Democrat into the Republican ticket, which is what they're doing with Nikki Haley. | ||
| Nearly half of Nikki Haley's Iowa backers say they'd vote for Biden over Trump. | ||
| Hot damn. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| The numbers don't ever lie on these things. | ||
| Overall, of GOP caucus goers, there's 11% that has been disenfranchised or disillusioned with Donald Trump. | ||
| That seems kind of remarkably high, but I suppose trust the source here. | ||
| Consider the source here. | ||
| NBC News, Des Moines Register, Mediacom poll, right? | ||
| So the polling's probably off. | ||
| But check this out. | ||
| Among Haley supporters, almost 50% said they would rather vote for Joe Biden over Donald Trump. | ||
| So if you are a plant, this is what you do. | ||
| This is what you do. | ||
| So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| The Haley supporters are Democrats, and that is actually, in fact, what we found out last night. | ||
| There's an interesting news clip from last night that's going around from CBS about how they ran out of voter registration ballots for switching votes from Democrat to Republican. | ||
| So to switch party affiliations from Democrat to Republican. | ||
| Wild stuff. | ||
| We'll get that clip-loaded and we'll play it for you. | ||
| Right now, the call throughout the Republican Party by anyone who has... | ||
| who is not totally disconnected from reality and not utterly living in delusion is that everyone should simply drop out and coalesce around Donald Trump so we can stop wasting money and precious resources running in a failed race. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Iowa... | |
| There was 200-plus million dollars spent in Iowa. | ||
| 200-plus million of Republican donor money that was spent on a race that Donald Trump won in a landslide. | ||
| And what should happen is that money should be preserved and then directed at attacking Joe Biden and the Democrat establishment. | ||
| That is what some of the smarter people in our party are saying. | ||
| That is what Elise Stefanik is saying. | ||
| Well, the results of the Iowa caucus is prompting this from the Wall Street Journal editorial board, quoting, Mr. DeSantis faces no clear path to the nomination. | ||
| He should leave this race and give Ms. Haley a chance to take on Mr. Trump one-on-one. | ||
| House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik taking that one step further, saying she calls on every other candidate, all of whom have no chance to win, to drop out so we can unify and immediately rally behind President Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, do you agree? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| We can totally agree on that. | ||
| There is no path forward for Ron DeSantis. | ||
| There is no path forward for Nikki Haley. | ||
| Unless, of course, you're talking the Democrat plant. | ||
| And Tucker Carlson has a great video out on this today about how Nikki Haley is actually a plant for leftist Democrats. | ||
| Nikki Haley is someone who has... | ||
| Let's get these Nikki Haley clips loaded up, please. | ||
| Nikki Haley is somebody who has said that her entire... | ||
| Political life has been inspired by Hillary Clinton. | ||
| She is someone who has said that it is rude and cruel to call criminal illegal aliens criminal illegal aliens. | ||
| Said you shouldn't say that. | ||
| They just want a better life. | ||
| Nikki Haley is somebody who is funded by Reid Hoffman, almost exclusively, a Democrat who is currently funding lawsuits against Donald Trump right now. | ||
| So if you're wondering what a plant looks like, that's what a plant looks like. | ||
| Again, ladies and gentlemen, we are monitoring the rally right now with Donald Trump. | ||
| Let's pop that preview up here. | ||
| Here, maybe I could pop it up right here. | ||
| We're monitoring the rally. | ||
| We have, obviously, shot on. | ||
| Donald Trump expected soon. | ||
| And when Donald Trump and Vivek begin speaking, I'm sure that they'll speak together on stage. | ||
| We'll jump on over. | ||
| Last night, however, we were covering live Vivek's comments about dropping out of the race and throwing his votes in with Donald Trump and fully endorsing Donald Trump. | ||
| Donald Trump, of course, posting that on his Truth Social and congratulating Vivek on a race well done, along with all of the Trump boys, Eric and Donald, who are politically active. | ||
| But the shot last night wasn't crisp or clean. | ||
| It was from his... | ||
| X account, Vivek's X account. | ||
| So we actually have the footage of Vivek dropping out and endorsing Donald Trump. | ||
| And you can hear sort of the emotion in his voice because he's visited all 99 counties at 400 events in Iowa. | ||
| They spent a year in Iowa to go from zero to 8%, which is extremely respectable. | ||
| You can go back through. | ||
| A good example of this is when Donald Trump ran in Iowa in 2016, he got 24%, which is just a standard deviation away from what Vivek got. | ||
| So these things build, right? | ||
| These movements build. | ||
| It was remarkable going back and looking through the Iowa caucus history. | ||
| Ted Cruz got 28%. | ||
| Donald Trump got 24% in 2016. | ||
| Obviously, past his prologue. | ||
| But here is what Vivek was saying last night as he dropped out of the race and then endorsed Donald Trump. | ||
| As of this moment, We are going to suspend this presidential campaign. | ||
| And this is going to have to be... | ||
| There is no path for me to be the next president absent things that we don't want to see happen in this country. | ||
| And I think that I am very worried for our country. | ||
| I think we are skating on thin ice as a nation. | ||
| We have done everything in our part. | ||
| To make and done, every one of us in this room has done our part to save this country. | ||
| And I am so proud of every one of you who have lifted us up, but we're a campaign founded on the truth. | ||
| And so that's why we've made that decision today. | ||
| And I'm also making the decision that this has to be an America First candidate in that White House. | ||
| As I've said since the beginning, there are two America first candidates in this race. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But let's keep in mind, these people that are wanting to come here, they want to come for a better life, too. | |
| They have kids together. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, we had a mistake happen where we actually clicked to play the Nikki Haley clip endorsing Hillary Clinton and talking about how mean it would be to say something mean about how you shouldn't say the term illegal alien. | ||
| Our apologies. | ||
| We actually were trying to add a clip about. | ||
| What is currently ongoing inside of New Hampshire and something that I wished to obviously play for you to preview what the coming attractions are in New Hampshire. | ||
| But ladies and gentlemen, I digress. | ||
| We just played the wrong clip. | ||
| Vivek Ranswamy with an earnest and honest take last night. | ||
| Now he's being hailed as an asset for Donald Trump. | ||
| And I think he will be. | ||
| Vivek Ranswami is a very gifted communicator, a very brilliant person, very smart, and listens. | ||
| And those are qualities that you don't get, three qualities you certainly do not get in your typical politician. | ||
| Greg Gutfeld fully endorsing this, saying... | ||
| This is a man that Donald Trump could certainly use as a weapon on the campaign trail. | ||
| When in fact, you know, you should actually be focusing on the big picture. | ||
| Like, how are you going to do this after four years of Hitleritis, where, you know, they basically demean half the population. | ||
| This is why Vivek is important, because he could be a tremendous asset for Trump, because Trump may not have the patience to articulate why people with TDS should listen. | ||
| Right? | ||
| You know, Vivek is like a... | ||
| He has Ben Shapiro's brain, Victor Davis Hanson's wisdom, and my looks. | ||
| And you saw how Vivek handles reporters and protesters. | ||
| Him with Trump could be like Starsky and Hutch. | ||
| Or Crockett or Tubbs or Laverne and Shirley. | ||
| Sid and Nancy, I'm running out. | ||
| But if you turn Vivek loose on TDS, he would be the best spokesman for the message to people that are still uncomfortable with Trump. | ||
| You know, the beliefs are the same. | ||
| Make America great. | ||
| That meritocracy is necessary. | ||
| America first. | ||
| Focus on citizens and not foreign wars. | ||
| The border, law and order. | ||
| I think that's the message. | ||
| So, Greg Gutfeld there effectively saying, not only would Vivek be excellent in advocating for Donald Trump and the America First movement whilst on the trail, but that Vivek himself would be able to argue against some of the more lunatic members and psychotically unhinged members of the corporate press, as we saw last night. | ||
| In full meltdown mode, the corporate media was just seething, crying, salty. | ||
| Libs, just on camera, unable to contain themselves. | ||
| Watch this. | ||
| Can we put Joy Reid back up there? | ||
| You know, I was looking at Joy Reid, and I'm thinking, you know, my brother-in-law, when we used to go to 49er games, he was a big 49er fan. | ||
| He used to paint his face, you know, gold and silver. | ||
| And you can tell that Joy Reid is totally in Trump's camp because he's wearing his hair. | ||
| And I think that's a sign she knew he was going to win. | ||
| She wanted to be on the winning side. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| That's Trump's hero. | ||
| And Clay Travis's blazer. | ||
| Yes, exactly. | ||
| Look, you know, what's always interesting is how little self-examination these people do. | ||
| They're like etch-a-sketch, right? | ||
| They write all these things in their little brain and create this hysteria, predict things that will never happen. | ||
| Then they shake their head and it's all gone. | ||
| And then they start over again. | ||
| That wasn't actually the full meltdown. | ||
| That wasn't the full Joy Reid meltdown clip. | ||
| We'll play you that. | ||
| Joy Reid, of course, like, saying Nikki Haley can never win because there's too many white Christians. | ||
| Too many white Christians and they're racist against her. | ||
| Yeah, got it. | ||
| Got it. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, we are pleased to bring you shots from outside of the event in New Hampshire where people lined up in the snow down the street around the corner. | ||
| And up the hills in order to get into this event, which of course you can see here, live shots on your screen is packed to the gills. | ||
| President Trump expected to speak soon. | ||
| So yeah, this event has 2016 energy. | ||
| This is the live shot for you right now on screen. | ||
| Here's what it looked like earlier. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, Neil. | |
| Well, former President Trump is set to have his first rally here in New Hampshire at the Atkinson Country Club. | ||
| His first rally in the Granite State in about a month. | ||
| And he's hoping to ride that momentum from his historic win in Iowa. | ||
| Take a look at this. | ||
| These are just some of the folks who've been waiting in line here in the cold and snow to get into this rally. | ||
| Vivek Ramaswamy will be here after he dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump last night. | ||
| This will mark the first time that they are sharing a stage together. | ||
| It seems to be seen if they will actually start on time, given the fact that the former president left the defamation court case in New York City, that courtroom, about an hour ago. | ||
| So we shall see. | ||
| We spoke to Trump supporters who have been braving the weather here some since 5 a.m., and this is what they had to say about former President Trump and the state of this race. | ||
| I think everybody should drop out and unite under one candidate. | ||
| That way we can get this country back on the right track. | ||
| We should all support one candidate so we can defeat the deep state and the liberal democrats. | ||
| I think that the people who are staying in have a reason to stay in and they appeal to different groups. | ||
| So it'll make it a more interesting race. | ||
| Yeah, well... | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I don't think they appeal to the groups that you want them to appeal to. | ||
| This is the latest news from Nikki Haley. | ||
| Nikki Haley says that she will not debate unless Donald Trump is on stage. | ||
| So, again, if you were a Democrat plant, which is what they accused Vivek of being, if you were a Democrat plant, isn't this what you would say? | ||
| Isn't this what you're supposed to say? | ||
| So, unless she can take a... | ||
| Unless you can rip the bark off Donald Trump in person, somebody who really popularized Nikki Haley with a plum position at the United Nations after she had a very milk toast. | ||
| In fact, you could just say, like, quite a failure of a record as governor of South Carolina. | ||
| There's very little to be happy about with what she did in South Carolina. | ||
| Nikki Haley is now demanding that Donald Trump face her face-to-face. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| But you're not really polling that well, and there's a really good chance that Donald Trump not only beat you in New Hampshire, but beat you in every single state, including your home state, which is next, South Carolina. | ||
| Nikki Haley said she wouldn't attend without Trump. | ||
| She said she saw no point. | ||
| Well, you just came in third in Iowa, lady. | ||
| Like, what are you talking about? | ||
| ABC News. | ||
| It's canceling their planned Republican primary debates in New Hampshire on Thursday, citing a lack of candidate participation. | ||
| Our intention was to host the debate coming out of the Iowa caucuses. | ||
| We knew there would be a contingent on the candidates and the outcomes of the race. | ||
| So Ron DeSantis is promising to attend a... | ||
| Ron DeSantis is planning to attend the debate himself. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| He's planning to attend the debate with two empty podiums on stage. | ||
| That's what Ron said. | ||
| But I think they're just going to cancel the debates altogether. | ||
| Nikki Haley says she won't do it unless she gets a chance to go after Trump in person. | ||
| We've had five great debates this campaign, former South Carolina governor said. | ||
| Unfortunately, Donald Trump has ducked them all! | ||
| He was nowhere. | ||
| He has nowhere left to hide. | ||
| The next debate I will do either with Donald Trump or with Joe Biden. | ||
| I look forward to it. | ||
| She says. | ||
| Nikki Haley says this. | ||
| Well, you know, what's interesting about Nikki Haley is that if she were to do a debate with Joe Biden, it would effectively be Joe Biden debating Joe Biden. | ||
| That's according to the actual coverage of her campaign where CBS News found that they ran out of party registration certificates because there were so many Democrats voting for Nikki Haley last night. | ||
| So Nikki Haley came in third, a distant third. | ||
| With all Democrat support, with a huge preponderance of Democrats voting for her, you know who also did this? | ||
| Liz Cheney. | ||
| Liz Cheney asked for Democrats to switch party to vote for her and then lost by 60 points in Wyoming. | ||
| Here's the proof, by the way, from that reporter at the caucus talking on CBS like, hey, you're not going to believe this, but this entire caucus was Democrats voting for Nikki Haley, switching their parties to vote for Nikki Haley. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Major, it's been a very interesting night. | |
| They just finished voting. | ||
| This was a room in favor of Nikki Haley, overwhelmingly so. | ||
| Ron DeSantis second, Donald Trump a distant third. | ||
| The most interesting development of the evening, and Anthony Salvato will find this to be very interesting indeed. | ||
| They had 50 forms for people who wanted to register tonight or switch their party registration. | ||
| They ran out of those forms. | ||
| Members of the caucus team here had to run out to multiple people's homes to get printer paper and get their printers fired up. | ||
| They printed another 25 or so sheets of paper. | ||
| They estimate about 75 people were new registrations or switched their registration from Democrat to Republican in order to play in this caucus tonight. | ||
| And I think that's a big reason why Nikki Haley was lifted up. | ||
| You're getting a little noise here as they clean up. | ||
| It was so impressive in this particular outing. | ||
| 20% of the vote here, thereabouts, give or take, were new registrations or crossovers, and that is above the typical rate. | ||
| You see estimates about 10% in a typical open caucus. | ||
| So if she can outperform in counties like this one, at caucus sites like this one, then that bodes well for her ability to have a strong second, which of course is what her campaign really wants to drive the narrative into New Hampshire. | ||
| Wait, did I just hear that correctly from that dude? | ||
| I have absolutely no doubt. | ||
| Questioning that reporting. | ||
| So that dude was there in Johnson County, Iowa, which is the most liberal county in Iowa. | ||
| This is a county that houses a very large university, a university that I attended called the University of Iowa. | ||
| And there are Marxist liberal professors stacked one on top of another in this county. | ||
| And all those Marxist professors went to the caucus in order to switch their party affiliation and vote for Nikki Haley. | ||
| And you're telling me that she's not a plan. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, our team has put together a rendering of what Vivekran Swami may look like when he takes the stage tonight. | ||
| This is an important artist's rendering of a brand new look for Vivekran Swami. | ||
| Very special. | ||
| Really something that I think might grow on me, actually. | ||
| You never know. | ||
| We don't know. | ||
| But here's what we do know. | ||
| We do know that... | ||
| Well, we have our live shot up. | ||
| And as soon as the two take the stage, then we will be cutting here to the Vivek speech with Donald Trump. | ||
| What is the drumbeat that is coming out of the sane commentators on TV, on social media, across the internet? | ||
| The sane ones... | ||
| The ones who are not either being paid by a campaign or are in it in order to disrupt Donald Trump and to run a Democrat plant, who is Nikki Haley, is everyone needs to drop out now. | ||
| Save the party a bunch of money. | ||
| Hand Donald Trump the first, I think, ever uncontested primary because he's effectively already won. | ||
| If you look at the polling and... | ||
| The lineup. | ||
| I mean, what are you going to do? | ||
| Are you going to drag this thing out for the next 50 states? | ||
| No. | ||
| What a stupid waste of money. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, the sane people are saying, everyone drop out. | ||
| Let's just simply unite around Donald Trump, President Trump. | ||
| Let's get this thing done. | ||
| Let's go after the actual enemy here, Joe Biden. | ||
| You and Elise Stefanik pretty much made the same call, Clay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look. | |
| Trump won by 30 points, and he won by 30 in a state where Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley both poured a lot of resources in. | ||
| And to me, this is an open-and-shut case. | ||
| Donald Trump is going to be the 2024 nominee for the Republican Party. | ||
| And I don't think that changes if DeSantis drops out and Nikki Haley gets to go head-to-head against Trump, or if Nikki Haley were to drop out and go head-to-head herself. | ||
| Trump is going to be the choice, given that. | ||
| I think it's time to unite and start going after Joe Biden, who, in my opinion, and in the opinion of huge majorities of Americans, doesn't have the mental and physical fitness to be president and also has been the worst president so far that any of us have seen in our lives. | ||
| I think he's an accidental president. | ||
| The only reason he got elected was because of COVID. | ||
| I think if the election were today, as you saw with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll that came out that showed Trump up eight in Georgia. | ||
| I think Trump would win comfortably in this race. | ||
| I'm ready for it. | ||
| I'm eager for it. | ||
| I'm ready for Joe Biden to get his ass kicked. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| A very, a very rare, a very rare ass kicking there by Fox News, but not wrong. | ||
| And earlier on Fox, Greg Gutfeld saying that Vivek Ronswami will be a vicious weapon. | ||
| For Donald Trump. | ||
| Now, why would Donald Trump need a weapon? | ||
| Donald Trump himself is a weapon. | ||
| Well, you can't be everywhere at once, obviously. | ||
| But there are, and having spent a considerable amount of time with Vivek on the trail, there are some of the better debate tactics and raconteur tactics making the enemy not your fellow Republicans necessarily, but the... | ||
| People who all of us see as the enemy, the corporate media, the activist wing of the Democrat Party masquerading as reporters. | ||
| Vivek sort of zeroed in on that and created these savage moments where suddenly he went from 2% to 4% to 7% to finishing with 8% in Iowa, which again is fourth. | ||
| But for somebody who has had no political career and has never run for elected office, Pretty respectable, to be quite honest. | ||
| It's moments like this that make Greg Gutfeld call Vivek a weapon for Donald Trump. | ||
| Swami, let me turn to you. | ||
| Please make your case. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why should you be the nominee and not the former president? | |
| Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry. | ||
| I'm getting word that Donald Trump is taking the stage right now. | ||
| Donald Trump is taking the stage right now. | ||
| Let's go to this shot as Donald Trump takes the stage in New Hampshire. | ||
| This is live, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| We are live. | ||
| And we are going to have Donald Trump playing God Bless the USA there as the song plays. | ||
| The Great Lee Greenwood, a friend of the show and somebody who's been on the show before. | ||
| But Donald Trump lets the full song play and we always get a bit of a... | ||
| A strike for playing the full song. | ||
| So, ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump not speaking at the moment, saying thank you, all smiles, and dancing along with the God Bless the USA. | ||
| I would love to play it more than anyone on the channel, but as soon as we play it, then the bots on social media come and claim the song, and then we can't share this video as well. | ||
| So we're going to just preemptively allow the song to just hum it yourself. | ||
| I'm proud to be an American, or at least I know I'm free. | ||
| God bless the men and women who died for me. | ||
| So this is Donald Trump, welcomed to the stage and on the stage, waiting for Vivek. | ||
| I'm very interested to see what's going to happen here. | ||
| Again, Vivek Ranswamy tweeting just about an hour ago, just arrived in New Hampshire, joining Trump at the rally. | ||
| I won't hold back. | ||
| Vivek tweets, I will not hold back. | ||
| Time to end this GOP primary and secure victory in November. | ||
| America first. | ||
| America always. | ||
| I love the USA, says Donald Trump. | ||
| All right, here we go, baby. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| If you think that it was easy to get here tonight, you are wrong. | ||
| In fact, they said, the pilot said, sir, you know, I think you might have to do it maybe another time. | ||
| I said, I'm not going to tell the people of New Hampshire I'm not going to be there tonight. | ||
| This was a little bit rocky tonight, I will tell you, but I'm glad we made it. | ||
| That would have been a pretty big story, right, if we didn't make it. | ||
| I mean, didn't, didn't make it. | ||
| I'm thrilled to be back with the people of the great... | ||
| State of New Hampshire with thousands of proud, hard-working American patriots, which is what you are. | ||
| As you know, last night we had a record-setting evening in Iowa. | ||
| What a great place that is, too. | ||
| The largest margin of victory in GOP history. | ||
| Is that good? | ||
| And the previous record, as you know, was 12 points, and we beat it by more than 30 points, so that was really something. | ||
| That's a long year. | ||
| That's a lot of years. | ||
| So we were honored by it. | ||
| They're really great people also. | ||
| The whole country is great, frankly. | ||
| And they want to see change. | ||
| Because right now, our country's not doing too well. | ||
| We're laughed at all over the world. | ||
| This is not going to happen for long. | ||
| But I do worry about 10 more months with these people because they can do a lot of damage. | ||
| What they're doing to our country is very sad. | ||
| We were... | ||
| The first candidate ever to get more than 52% of the vote. | ||
| We now have our eyes on a very special place. | ||
| You know what that place is? | ||
| New Hampshire. | ||
| And I know that New Hampshire will never let us down, just like in 2016. | ||
| You remember that? | ||
| We came in here and we won in a landslide in 2016. | ||
| It's time for the Republican Party, however, to unify, come together and move forward as one team. | ||
| We have to beat crooked Joe Biden. | ||
| We have to beat him. | ||
| Our country is at stake and we need to focus on... | ||
| All of our resources, we have to put them into energy and effort and defeating Biden and all of these radical left lunatics, what they're doing to our country. | ||
| We can't let it happen. | ||
| We cannot let it continue. | ||
| We're going down and we cannot let it continue. | ||
| Last night, I was honored to receive the endorsement of a man who has become a true leader and earned the admiration of so many patriots. | ||
| I've been a friend of his, even though we were competing against each other. | ||
| But I was a friend of his, and we got along, and he was saying he's a great president. | ||
| I kept saying, why is he running? | ||
| He keeps calling him a great president. | ||
| But he's a fantastic guy, a very smart guy. | ||
| He's got some tremendous ideas, and he's young, and he's got some young ideas, too, and that's a good thing. | ||
| So he has a big, beautiful, bright future ahead. | ||

|
So thank you. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Let's do this, guys. | ||
| It's good to see you. | ||
| It's going to be back to New Hampshire. | ||
| We miss you guys. | ||
| We're going to make this happen, and you guys know this well. | ||
| You know this man. | ||
| You know why we're here. | ||
| Patriots across the state. | ||
| We are in the middle of a war in this country. | ||
| That's what this is. | ||
| It's not a war between black and white. | ||
| It's not between Democrat and Republican, even in a deeper sense. | ||
| It's between the permanent state and the everyday citizen. | ||
| Between those of us who love the United States of America and a fringe minority who hates this country and what we stand for. | ||
| And right now, we need a commander-in-chief who will lead us to victory in this war. | ||
| That's what we need in this country. | ||
| You got to know you're in a war to win one. | ||
| You can't win one if you're asleep at the switch, have your head stuck in the sand like most Republicans. | ||
| And I think that's going to require somebody who isn't bought and paid for, a businessman, not a politician. | ||
| Anybody heard of that? | ||
| And that's why I was in this race, but... | ||
| I'll tell you, the people of Iowa spoke loud and clear last night, and I'm a big believer that we the people create a government that is accountable to us, not the other way around. | ||
| That we the people choose who leads this country. | ||
| And so we heard we the people last night, and that is why last evening I met my friend here, we met in person, and I told him that I would endorse Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, and do everything in my power. | ||
| to lead us to victory in this war it is a 1776 moment right now that's where we live right now You want to know, what does it mean to be a Republican today? | ||
| It means we believe in the ideals of 1776. | ||
| Ideals like freedom and merit and the pursuit of excellence. | ||
| That you get ahead in this country, not on the color of your skin, but on the content of your character and your contributions. | ||
| End affirmative action. | ||
| End it, DEI. | ||
| We are done with the nonsense. | ||
| Send it back home. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It means you believe in the rule of law. | |
| And I say this as the kid of legal immigrants to this country. | ||
| That means your first act of entering this country cannot break the law, and that is why we need to use our military to secure our own southern border in this country. | ||
| That's what it means to stand for the rule of law in the United States of America. | ||
| It means the people we elect to run the government needs to be the ones who actually run the government, not the shadow government in the deep state that runs the show today. | ||
| This man is going to get in there this time around and actually shut down that deep state. | ||
| Not messing around this time anymore. | ||
| That's how we win this war in this country. | ||
| And the way we're actually going to do this in the long run and win this this time around is with elections we need to secure in this country for the long run. | ||
| You want to know what needs to happen in this country? | ||
| Single day voting on election day as a national holiday with paper ballots, government issued ID to match the voter file, and English as the sole language that appears on a ballot. | ||
| And I'm confident this man... | ||
| We'll be the one to get us there. | ||
| And this is how we get our country back. | ||
| Now, black or white is deeper than that. | ||
| These are the ideals of the American Revolution. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| We do have some enemies that we need to defeat on the other side, but we have challenges to address in our own party right here at home. | ||
| So you know what? | ||
| If you want somebody who's going to foist onto you to use your social media account, you want to use a driver's license to do it, to have the right to use the Internet, This man's not your man. | ||
| There's another candidate in this race who'll do that for you. | ||
| It's Nikki Haley. | ||
| You want to cut Social Security? | ||
| You want to cut Medicare? | ||
| You want to cut veterans' benefits so we can fork over more money to Ukraine so some kleptocrat can buy a bigger house? | ||
| Vote for Nikki Haley, not this man right here. | ||
| But if you want to actually... | ||
| That's what it means. | ||
| We've been celebrating our... | ||
| Diversity. | ||
| And our differences. | ||
| For so long that we forgot all of the ways that we are the same as Americans. | ||
| Bound by that common set of ideals that set this country into motion. | ||
| We believe those ideals still exist. | ||
| This man is going to be your next president to revive them. | ||
| E pluribus unum. | ||
|
unidentified
|
From many one. | |
| And you know how we're doing it? | ||
| We're doing it by speaking the truth at every step of the way. | ||
| There are two genders in this country. | ||
| Period. | ||
| That is the truth. | ||
| Fossil fuels are a requirement for human prosperity. | ||
| Drill, frack, burn coal, embrace nuclear energy. | ||
| Reverse racism is racism. | ||
| An open border is not a border. | ||
| Parents determine the education of their children. | ||
| The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind. | ||
| Capitalism lifts us up from poverty. | ||
| There are three branches of government in the United States, not four. | ||
| And the U.S. Constitution is the strongest and greatest guarantor of freedom in human history. | ||
| That is the truth. | ||
| We fight for the truth. | ||
| We stand up for the truth. | ||
| That is what won us the American Revolution. | ||
| That is what reunited us after the Civil War. | ||
| That is what won us two World Wars and the Cold War. | ||
| That is what still gives hope to the free world. | ||
| And if we can revive that dream over group identity and victimhood and grievance, then nobody in the world, Not a corporation, not a virus, not China is going to defeat us. | ||
| That is what American exceptionalism is all about. | ||
| That is what we are going to revive to, yes, make America great again. | ||
| Vote for this man right here in the New Hampshire primary. | ||
| God bless you and your families, and may God bless our United States of America. | ||
| Thank you, New Hampshire. | ||
| It's good to see you guys. | ||
| We're coming back and winning this in a landslide. | ||
| We will not stop until we get this job done. | ||
| Thank you all. | ||
| God bless you and your families. | ||
|
unidentified
|
God bless you. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Wow, how was that? | ||
| Pretty good, right? | ||
| That was pretty good, and he's a fantastic guy. | ||
| He's got something that's very special because he started off with a Zippo, and he ended up very strong. | ||
| He did a great job. | ||
| I was actually surprised when he called because he was doing well, and it's an honor to have his endorsement. | ||
| He's going to be working with us, and he'll be working with us for a long time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| And now for sort of the opposite, in my opinion. | ||
| As you know, Nikki Haley in particular is counting on the Democrats and liberals to infiltrate your Republican primary. | ||
| You know that. | ||
| That's what's happening. | ||
| You have a group of people coming in that are not Republicans, and it's artificially boosting her numbers here, although we're still leading her by a lot. | ||
| You know, as you know, I watched her speech last night. | ||
| I thought it was inappropriate. | ||
| But because it's bad for unity, it's bad for the party, what she said, but you'd almost think she won. | ||
| She came in third, and she lost to not a particularly great candidate, obviously, as you've seen. | ||
| She lost to somebody that beat her by about two and a half points, Ronda Sanctimonious. | ||
| So I'll tell you, we have these two people. | ||
| We really got to get back on to Biden and beating the Democrats and not wasting a lot of time with these two. | ||
| They're supported for... | ||
| They're supported by some people that you don't want to have support. | ||
| And the reason they're doing it, and I will tell you, so we had a very interesting thing. | ||
| We were making the speech last night. | ||
| It was called the Victory Speech. | ||
| Yeah, please sit down. | ||
| And everybody can see back there. | ||
| It's a big crowd. | ||
| It's a nice crowd of people. | ||
| We're driving in the snow. | ||
| You can't see three front. | ||
| I mean, how you all got here, I said, will people show up? | ||
| But they always show up, right? | ||
| Because they love their country. | ||
| But we were talking about her show and how corrupt the press is. | ||
| And last night, it was amazing. | ||
| NBC and CNN refused to air my victory speech. | ||
| Think of it. | ||
| Because they are crooked, they're dishonest, and frankly, they should have their licenses or whatever they have taken away. | ||
| They put on Nikki Haley. | ||
| She came in third. | ||
| A distant third. | ||
| Like, I mean, a distant third. | ||
| And they put on Rhonda Sanctimonious, who came in a boring second. | ||
| Now, we don't talk about him too much, because over here he's polling at 4%, so we'll save him where he seems to go up. | ||
| But we haven't found that place yet. | ||
| He's gone down a lot. | ||
| She's not doing particularly well, but she had one phony poll. | ||
| She walks around with a poll saying she's up in Biden by 17. That poll is about three months old, and it's a fake poll. | ||
| And from every other poll, she's just about down in every election. | ||
| We're up every single poll for the last two months against crooked Joe Biden. | ||
| But people behind Nikki Haley are pro-amnesty. | ||
| They're pro-China. | ||
| They're pro-open borders. | ||
| These are the people that are backing her. | ||
| They're pro-war. | ||
| We don't want war. | ||
| We got out of all the wars. | ||
| We beat the hell out of ISIS. | ||
| They're pro-Biden, frankly. | ||
| And if she wins, Biden wins. | ||
| If Biden wins, New Hampshire cannot win. | ||
| You're going to lose, and bad things happen. | ||
| We are the greatest country in our history. | ||
| Three years ago, we had the best borders. | ||
| We had the best economy. | ||
| We had no inflation. | ||
| We rebuilt our military. | ||
| We gave you the biggest tax cuts in history, the biggest regulation cuts in history. | ||
| Nobody's done what we've done, and especially, frankly, for this state. | ||
| If you want... | ||
| A nominee who is endorsed by all the rhinos, globalists, and demented never-Trumpers. | ||
| They're a dying breed, I will say. | ||
| Like a guy like rhino Paul Ryan. | ||
| He was so bad for us. | ||
| Liberal Larry Hogan. | ||
| That's another beauty. | ||
| Open borders rhino Charles Koch. | ||
| Charles Koch. | ||
| He spends a lot of his inherited money on elections, but not so much. | ||
| But he has been giving Nikki a lot. | ||
| He wants open borders. | ||
| He's pro-China. | ||
| He's not pro-U.S. | ||
| And crooked Joe Biden's biggest donors, then Nikki Haley is your candidate. | ||
| If you want that, we need strong borders. | ||
| We need free and fair elections. | ||
| And if you don't have those two things, and I'd love to add in, we need an honest media, because we don't have an honest media. | ||
| The Democrats are supporting her because she's... | ||
| Easy to beat. | ||
| You know, the Democrats are funding most of her campaign, and they're doing it because they want to run against—they don't want any more of Trump. | ||
| How did they do in 2016? | ||
| And then we did even better in 2020. | ||
| A lot better. | ||
| A lot better. | ||
| Millions and millions of more votes. | ||
| They don't want us. | ||
| They want her. | ||
| They're really—I mean, she's probably their first choice, and Ronda Sanctimonious is their second choice. | ||
| And I'm their last choice. | ||
| You know, but they're a party of disinformation. | ||
| They see we're leading. | ||
| You know, Rasmussen just came out. | ||
| Did you see that? | ||
| Rasmussen, highly respected. | ||
| They just announced that the nomination for the Republican Party is over. | ||
| They just said it's over. | ||
| That Trump won. | ||
| Now, I don't know how they can do that quite. | ||
| But I guess they looked last night, and they looked at all of the different states. | ||
| We're beating her by, you know, many, many, many points in South Carolina. | ||
| She's... | ||
| The governor of South Carolina, and she's losing by 50 points. | ||
| That's not a good sign. | ||
| And very shortly, we go out to Nevada. | ||
| We're beating her by about 90 points. | ||
| So we're beating everybody. | ||
| And we're beating, maybe more importantly, although we have to get there, but more importantly, we're beating Crooked Joe Biden in every poll. | ||
| We're beating him by 11 points in Michigan. | ||
| We're beating him in... | ||
| We're beating him all over. | ||
| I mean, we're beating him in Pennsylvania. | ||
| We're beating him in South Carolina. | ||
| Every poll that they take. | ||
| And by the way, we're beating him very big in a place called New Hampshire. | ||
| Have you ever heard of it? | ||
| Have you heard of it? | ||
| If you want to defend your honor and if you want to defeat the radical-left Democrats and save America, you must vote for your favorite president of all time, Donald J. Trump. | ||
| The only way to stop the Biden lunatics and radical leftists is trying to cancel out your votes. | ||
| They want to cancel out your votes. | ||
| That's what they're doing with Haley. | ||
| They love Haley because they're going to load it up with everything. | ||
| They're not going to win anyway. | ||
| They're not going to win anyway. | ||
| They're not even close, but they're going to load it up with Democrats and independents, and that's not what the Republican Party is about. | ||
| We love Democrats that want to vote for us, and we love independents especially that want to vote for us, but it's not what the party is about. | ||
| But you have to go in big numbers on January 23rd. | ||
| That's Tuesday. | ||
| Next week, January 23rd. | ||
| I spent so much time talking about this because we had these tremendous polls, just like we do here in Iowa, and I'd say, Please, it's very important. | ||
| We have to keep our eye on the ball in November, and we're sending a signal. | ||
| So even if you don't believe the polls, or even if you think we're one point down, we're not. | ||
| We're like 30 points up. | ||
| But don't believe me. | ||
| You have to get out, and you have to vote. | ||
| I joked the other night. | ||
| I got a little heat for it. | ||
| I said, listen, darling, you're not feeling well, but I don't care. | ||
| You have to get up. | ||
| We have to vote. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We have to vote. | |
| But I'm not feeling well. | ||
| It doesn't make any difference. | ||
| You have to vote. | ||
| And I went a step further. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I said, even if it means the ultimate, you've got to vote. | |
| Because we've got to save our country. | ||
| All the information you need is available at nh.DonaldJTrump.com. | ||
| Everything's available. | ||
| So we do have to create the margins. | ||
| We're going to be in great shape in terms of winning, but the margins, and I think that's why we got, I guess, 52%. | ||
| They said it would be almost impossible to get over 40, and we got 52% last night, which is great. | ||
| Largest, biggest margin in history. | ||
| By a lot, the biggest margin in history. | ||
| With your help, one week from now, we're going to win the New Hampshire primary, and then we're going to defeat crooked Joe Biden. | ||
| He's a crooked guy. | ||
| He's the worst president in the history of our country. | ||
| He's the most corrupt president in the history of our country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| And frankly, he's the most incompetent president. | ||
| You're going to end up in World War III with this guy. | ||
| But we're going to take back our country and we are going to what? | ||
| Make America great again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Make America great again. | |
| One of the most important questions is, and I'm having to answer it all the time, it's the candidate. | ||
| What candidate can rescue the American economy and save the American dream? | ||
| You know, you don't hear. | ||
| When was the last time you heard the phrase American dream? | ||
| You know, you used to hear it all the time. | ||
| Well, you hear it with me and you heard it four years ago, three years ago, but you haven't heard that term in a long time because there is no American dream. | ||
| It's survival now and it's embarrassment. | ||
| And you take a look at what they did with Afghanistan. | ||
| The most embarrassing moment in the history of our country. | ||
| 13 soldiers dead. | ||
| We left hundreds of people there that should have been brought out. | ||
| They're hostages. | ||
| And we left $85 billion worth of the best military equipment in the world. | ||
| And they're now one of the largest sellers of military equipment. | ||
| They don't need 700,000. | ||
| Think of it. | ||
| 700,000 rifles and guns. | ||
| 700,000. | ||
| They sell them. | ||
| They make a fortune. | ||
| We left them there. | ||
| 70,000 vehicles, many of them armor-plated, costing millions of dollars, millions and millions of dollars. | ||
| We left all of this there. | ||
| We are like a country run by fools. | ||
| We're run by fools. | ||
| And we're going to take it back, and we're going to take it back quickly and methodically. | ||
| We're going to win that election. | ||
| We're going to go back into the White House, and we're going to drill baby drill, and we're going to strengthen up our border like we used to have. | ||
| Remember, we had the safest border in history three years ago, and now we have the worst border probably in the history of the world. | ||
| There's never been a border for any country, third world, banana republic. | ||
| There's never been a border like this. | ||
| There's never been where millions, and we'll fix it, and we'll fix it very fast. | ||
| You know, all Biden had to do, you know, when he goes to the beach, because he's got consultants. | ||
| We all have consultants, right? | ||
| And they say, you look great in a bathing suit, Joe. | ||
| I've never seen a guy go to the beach so much, right? | ||
| And he has a hard time walking in the sand, because sand is heavy. | ||
| And he has an even harder time lifting one of those aluminum chairs that are meant for a child to lift, right? | ||
| He can't lift it. | ||
| And, you know, if he would have just gone to the beach and left our border alone... | ||
| We had the most secure border. | ||
| All he had to do is leave it alone. | ||
| We had the best people. | ||
| The Border Patrol are incredible. | ||
| ICE are incredible. | ||
| All of the law enforcement is incredible. | ||
| We love our law enforcement. | ||
| By the way, we are going to get immunity for our law enforcement so they can't get sued. | ||
| You know, in many places, I don't think here, but in many places, law enforcement gets sued and they say, go out, get your own lawyer. | ||
| We're not going to represent you. | ||
| Can you believe it? | ||
| What they do to our law enforcement. | ||
| Well, we're going to give them immunity. | ||
| We're going to grant them immunity. | ||
| We're going to take care of their property. | ||
| Under the Trump administration, we had the greatest economy in the history of the world with record low unemployment rates for African Americans, Hispanic Americans. | ||
| By the way, have you seen our poll numbers with African Americans and with Hispanic Americans? | ||
| Last night was quite a surprise. | ||
| That's why they couldn't put us on. | ||
| NBC couldn't do it because the margins were so crazy. | ||
| But I'm not that surprised because I see it. | ||
| I feel it. | ||
| We did great in 2016. | ||
| We won. | ||
| We did much better in 2020. | ||
| But there is much more enthusiasm now than there was even in 2020 or 2016. | ||
| Like, not even. | ||
| But we did better with everything, and we're doing better with women, with Asian Americans, with kids with MIT diplomas. | ||
| Of course, that gets hurt a little bit now. | ||
| You know, MIT's been a little injured with the three people, Harvard, Penn, went to Penn, Penn, and you take a look, and MIT, they got badly injured. | ||
| You know, my uncle was a professor at MIT for 40 years, Dr. John Trump. | ||
| He's the longest-serving professor in the history of the school. | ||
| And he's up in heaven now looking down on us and saying, that's a beautiful place that he's speaking at with very beautiful people. | ||
| But, you know, he would be very embarrassed if he saw what was going on with MIT and all of the places. | ||
| But whether you had a diploma from MIT or any of the great schools or whether you didn't have a high school diploma, we had the best numbers in every single category that we've ever had. | ||
| And we're going to bring it back there and we're going to bring it back fast. | ||
| It's going to happen very quickly. | ||
| The lowest poverty rates, record high incomes, all of these things that we had. | ||
| We increased the typical American family's take-home pay by an astounding record-setting, $6,000 a year, and they lowered it by $5,000 a year. | ||
| Think of that. | ||
| They lowered it, so you add those two. | ||
| That's a lot. | ||
| That's a lot. | ||
| I passed the largest tax cuts and regulation reforms in history. | ||
| We did the largest regulation cuts in history. | ||
| We did the biggest tax cuts by far in history. | ||
| And, you know, they're coming due fairly soon, and the Democrats don't want to do it. | ||
| That would give you the largest tax hike in the history of our country. | ||
| Congratulations. | ||
| Nobody cares about that, do you? | ||
| Do you mind paying 50% more tax? | ||
| Because get used to it. | ||
| If they win, and I don't think they will, I don't see how they can. | ||
| How can you win when you have open borders, when you have high interest rates? | ||
| When you have, you can't get a house anymore. | ||
| You can't buy a house. | ||
| Your education stinks. | ||
| Everything's woke. | ||
| That's all they talk about. | ||
| They go after their political opponents with the DOJ or the FBI. | ||
| That's me. | ||
| They go after me. | ||
| I got so many court cases. | ||
| I've been indicted more than Alphonse Capone. | ||
| You know who Alphonse? | ||
| Greatest gangster of all time. | ||
| He was the number one of all time. | ||
| Scarface. | ||
| Did anybody ever hear? | ||
| He was a lovely man. | ||
| If he had dinner. | ||
| If he took you out to dinner, had dinner with you, and he didn't like the tone of your voice, you were killed. | ||
| You were guaranteed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I got indicted more than he did, sir. | |
| But they're bullshit indictments, I'll tell you. | ||
| They're Biden. | ||
| You know what I call them? | ||
| I call them... | ||
| They're Biden indictments. | ||
| No, they've weaponized the DOJ. | ||
| They go after their political opponent. | ||
| Now, in this particular case, it didn't work out so well. | ||
| So our polls are at record numbers. | ||
| Like last night, we won in the history. | ||
| Of Iowa. | ||
| Nobody's ever come close to getting the kind of numbers I got. | ||
| If I didn't get indicted all these times, and if they didn't unfairly go after, I would have won. | ||
| But it would have been much closer, I tell you. | ||
| I don't know if I would have made the trade. | ||
| I might have just, like the position we're in right now, and we're doing very well on that score. | ||
| Did you see Fannie? | ||
| Fannie from Atlanta. | ||
| She paid her boyfriend, a lawyer, who had no experience as a lawyer and no experience doing what? | ||
| Almost a million dollars. | ||
| And then they decided to go on beautiful Norwegian cruise lines, trips all over the place. | ||
| He was a very generous person with our money. | ||
| And he was the guy coming after me. | ||
| Can you believe it? | ||
| And they're all, every one of these people. | ||
| These are corrupt people. | ||
| These are corrupt. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| Forget about me. | ||
| They indicted 18 fine people. | ||
| 18 people like you. | ||
| In some cases, elderly. | ||
| They signed a slate, just like Thomas Jefferson did slates. | ||
| They go slates, just like they did to me in 2016. | ||
| They wanted a slate for Alabama that I won by 45 points. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| They said, maybe he didn't win Alabama, but I won by 45 points. | ||
| They could have picked something that was a little bit closer. | ||
| But they go after people, and they want to destroy people, and they're evil. | ||
| And we're putting an end to it, and we're putting an end to it fast, because you can't have that happen. | ||
| You can't have that happen in this country. | ||
| And most importantly, under Joe Biden, our country is dying. | ||
| I mean, our country is in serious trouble. | ||
| And I stand before you today as the only candidate who is up to the task of saving America from every single Biden disaster, and they're only disasters. | ||
| What has he done good? | ||
| Everything. | ||
| I mean, think of it. | ||
| You had no inflation. | ||
| You had nothing. | ||
| Israel would have never been attacked. | ||
| Ukraine would have never been attacked. | ||
| I know Putin very well. | ||
| There was no way he was going to do it. | ||
| You know, one of the reasons he did it is he, Biden, drove oil prices up so high, makes his money with oil. | ||
| He was making a fortune. | ||
| He had plenty of money to prosecute it. | ||
| But even without that, because ours was much lower, we had $1.87. | ||
| Does that sound good? | ||
| $1.87. | ||
| But they would have never done it. | ||
| Israel would have never happened. | ||
| You see what's going on with Taiwan. | ||
| China wants to go in there. | ||
| He would have never done it. | ||
| President Xi of China, strong man. | ||
| He would have never, ever done it. | ||
| Just watch as soon as it becomes clear on election night that we've defeated crooked Joe Biden. | ||
| You will see your 401k soar and you already see it. | ||
| Every time we have a good poll or every time we have a night like we did last night. | ||
| Was that exciting, by the way? | ||
| That was so beautiful. | ||
| That was so beautiful. | ||
| By the way, you think you have cold weather out tonight? | ||
| That was 40 degrees below zero. | ||
| If you had like, I said, don't worry about it, we're in a car. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, really? | |
| If you had to walk like 15 feet from the car to the door, it was a very, very troubling experience. | ||
| Your net worth will skyrocket as soon as we come in or as soon as it's known that we come in. | ||
| You know, last time when we won the election, everything went up. | ||
| And they got the credit for it. | ||
| They said, no, you have to go from the election. | ||
| Don't go from January 20th. | ||
| But everything went up except the gasoline. | ||
| The gasoline went down. | ||
| The gasoline, we brought energy down to a level that you haven't seen in many years. | ||
| And, you know, in New England... | ||
| Overall, but New Hampshire in particular, you have the highest energy prices anywhere in the United States. | ||
| I hope you know that, right? | ||
| We're going to bring your energy prices down in half. | ||
| We're going to bring them down in half. | ||
| And it would be nice if your governor would help, because that's something he could do. | ||
| You know, that's something. | ||
| It would be nice if he would help. | ||
| You know, he ran for, you do know he ran for president. | ||
| He just didn't have the courage to say, I'm running for president. | ||
| He ran, he was all over the place for months, running, running, running. | ||
| And then after he got his highest number, about 2%, he decided to announce that he's not running. | ||
| But he didn't announce that he's running. | ||
| He ran without announcement. | ||
| And honestly, that's not the way to do it. | ||
| That's not the way. | ||
| But you have the highest energy prices in this area. | ||
| In the entire country, we're going to cut your energy by at least half, and it'll be done in the first year. | ||
| You watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
First year. | |
| The next Trump economic boom will begin on November 5th, 2024. | ||
| That will be an economic boom. | ||
| And, you know, the only thing that they have now is a stock market that's going up, and it's only going up because people think we're going to win the election. | ||
| I don't know if you saw yesterday. | ||
| I felt very badly for them. | ||
| China. | ||
| Had a crash yesterday in their stock market. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because I won Iowa. | ||
| So when people... | ||
| It's true. | ||
| It crashed. | ||
| So when people say, oh, I took in hundreds of billions of dollars from China. | ||
| And literally, as soon as those numbers started coming in yesterday... | ||
| They had a crash, one of the worst numbers that they've had in years. | ||
| But what that's telling you, and I'm not knocking them because I get along great with President Xi and I love China. | ||
| I love everybody, but they can't take advantage of us. | ||
| But, you know, it tells you better than anybody with the words and all the words and talk. | ||
| That tells you what it's about. | ||
| If I get in, they know it's not going to be so good for them. | ||
| And we want it to be good for us because for years they've taken advantage of us. | ||
| They've taken big advantage. | ||
| But during my four years, it was a whole different thing. | ||
| I took in hundreds of billions of dollars. | ||
| I actually took in 28. We have some farmers here, but I just left the place. | ||
| We got a lot of farmers. | ||
| And that's one of the reasons I won. | ||
| In fact, my people said, sir, don't be so confident about Iowa, please. | ||
| It doesn't sound good. | ||
| I said, I got them $28 billion for the farmers from China. | ||
| Of course I'm going to be confident. | ||
| I went into rooms. | ||
| I said, there's no way you're voting against. | ||
| I got you 28. I said, do you think Biden, when he's sleeping, he's turning and twisting and sweating in bed, thinking about how to get his farmers taken care of? | ||
| He just goes out like a light. | ||
| Me, I twist and turn thinking about how we're going to make our country rich as hell again. | ||
| It's actually true. | ||
| Too bad, but it is true. | ||
| Starting on day one of my new administration, I will quickly end Joe Biden's inflation catastrophe by stopping his wasteful spending, terminating his Green News scam. | ||
| You know, it's a Green News scam. | ||
| It's not a Green News scam. | ||
| It's called the Green News scam. | ||
| And tapping the liquid gold. | ||
| So we have more wealth under our feet than any other country, but we don't use it. | ||
| We're now getting oil. | ||
| It's not even oil. | ||
| It's tar. | ||
| Well, Drill Baby Drill is right. | ||
| It's tar from Venezuela. | ||
| We get tar from Venezuela. | ||
| You know where we refine it? | ||
| In Houston, Texas. | ||
| And so if you're a believer in everything spewing, I believe that. | ||
| We all believe that. | ||
| But if you're a believer... | ||
| We are refining. | ||
| It's the only refinery that can do the Venezuelan tar because it's a lot of tar. | ||
| We have light, sweet, crude. | ||
| We have the best oil. | ||
| We have the most oil. | ||
| And we don't use it. | ||
| And by the way, you could use a little because, you know, when we turn on the tap, you are actually going to go down at numbers that you've never seen before. | ||
| And you started seeing that. | ||
| Three years ago, you were at a low number. | ||
| Now you're at a number that's very, very embarrassing for this country to have. | ||
| But you are the worst of all. | ||
| You're the highest energy in the whole country. | ||
| So you can't vote for the Democrats and you can't vote for the sanctimonious, but he's only at 4% or 5%. | ||
| What the hell happened to him, by the way? | ||
| Man, did he go down. | ||
| Ron DeSanctimonious, did he go down like a rock? | ||
| I don't even want to talk about him because I don't want to waste it. | ||
| I do want to talk about Nikki because this perception that she's gone up. | ||
| But I worked with her for a long time and she was okay. | ||
| Not great. | ||
| She was not great. | ||
| She's not tough enough to deal with these people. | ||
| I will tell you that. | ||
| She's not tough enough. | ||
| Well, Joe Biden is pushing the largest tax hike in American history. | ||
| You know, he wants to quadruple your taxes. | ||
| I will make the Trump tax cuts permanent, and we will deliver more tax cuts, tax credits, regulation cuts for New Hampshire workers and family than any other. | ||
| We were going to, just before COVID came in, we were going to drill like we've never done. | ||
| And we were doing that. | ||
| And we were in fourth place. | ||
| Then we were in third, second, first. | ||
| And if you look at a chart, you'll see Saudi Arabia. | ||
| You'll see Russia a little bit below that. | ||
| You'll see a couple of others sneak in. | ||
| I mean, they're pretty good. | ||
| But all of a sudden, you look at this chart where we're like this, like, and then I get in and it goes, we were doing much more than they were doing. | ||
| But when I left, which was ridiculous that we had to leave, but we had to leave. | ||
| We have to follow the laws of our land. | ||
| But what are ridiculous. | ||
| Isn't it amazing? | ||
| They don't investigate the people that cheated in the election. | ||
| They investigate the people that understand they cheated and go after them. | ||
| But they don't investigate the people that cheated like hell. | ||
| We have to have fair and free elections. | ||
| We have to... | ||
| Nikki Haley supported a brutal 23% national sales tax, which is a disaster, by the way, why she did it. | ||
| And that's why some people... | ||
| Call her the Nicky New tax. | ||
| I don't think that's particularly good, but she did support. | ||
| She wants a 23% national sales tax, and Ron DeSantis wants that also. | ||
| He wants it to be 23%. | ||
| I think that makes them unelectable. | ||
| I think if you have a 23% tax like that, I think it makes them... | ||
| And there's other reasons they're unelectable, but I can tell you the greatest people in the world that misinformation and disinformation are the radical left crazy Democrats. | ||
| If they think they're going to have an easy time with somebody, they'll say, oh, we don't want to run against them. | ||
| They're so good. | ||
| If they think they're going to get their ass kicked by somebody. | ||
| They say, that's the one. | ||
| We want to run against Trump. | ||
| We want to run against... | ||
| How did they do the last two times? | ||
| It was not good for them. | ||
| So we're going to take this country. | ||
| We're going to turn it around. | ||
| We're going to make it better than ever before, greater than ever before. | ||
| The radical Democrats are looking to literally destroy our country. | ||
| And sometimes you wonder, think of it, open borders, people coming in from prisons, from jails. | ||
| There's a slight difference. | ||
| Do you know what the difference between a prison and a jail is? | ||
| Not enough to talk about. | ||
| Let's put it this way. | ||
| Not enough to talk about. | ||
| But they're coming in from prisons and jails. | ||
| They're coming in from mental institutions and insane asylum. | ||
| Insane asylum, that's a step beyond. | ||
| That's Silence of the Lambs. | ||
| That's Hannibal Lecter. | ||
| Did you ever hear of Hannibal Lecter? | ||
| They're being dropped into our country. | ||
| Hannibal Lecter is coming in, lots of them. | ||
| They're closing up insane asylums all over the world, not just in South America. | ||
| They're closing them up all over the world, in Africa, in Asia, in Europe, in the Middle East. | ||
| We're bombing Yemen. | ||
| We have a guy who's in charge of our war. | ||
| I read about it today. | ||
| He's using a laptop from his hospital bed. | ||
| They couldn't find him, Secretary of Defense. | ||
| And he's running the war with a laptop like a child would do, you know, like a child plays with a laptop. | ||
| These are the same people that ran Afghanistan into the ground. | ||
| You know, I was taking everybody out of Afghanistan, but we're doing it with strength, and we're doing it with dignity. | ||
| We were coming out, and they were afraid of us, and they weren't doing anything. | ||
| I spoke to Abdul, you know Abdul, the leader of the Taliban, and we had a rough conversation, and after that conversation, not... | ||
| One American soldier was killed for 18 months, and then you had that disaster by Biden where they took the military out first. | ||
| No, you take the military out last. | ||
| You get your people out first. | ||
| You get your equipment out, and then you come out. | ||
| But they took the military out first. | ||
| We have those same people telling us about wars in the Middle East. | ||
| You don't need wars because, you know, we built the strongest military in the world. | ||
| We defeated, as you know, ISIS 100% of the caliphate. | ||
| Soleimani gone. | ||
| Al-Baghdadi gone, all of the big terrorists gone. | ||
| We created a safe nation. | ||
| We didn't have one terrorist attack in four years. | ||
| I never said that during my four years because I say, I don't want to have it, and then the next day we have an attack. | ||
| But we didn't have one terrorist attack. | ||
| Iran was broke. | ||
| I told China, I told all of the countries, anybody that does business with Iran buying oil, because they are really the purveyor of cash, but the purveyor of terror. | ||
| They would give billions and billions of dollars out to Hamas, to Hezbollah, billions and billions. | ||
| They say, anybody that does business with Iran, you're not doing business with the United States. | ||
| Plus, we're going to put a tariff of 100% on all your goods that you send in. | ||
| And everybody, including China, said, well, I guess we're not doing business with them. | ||
| And they were broke. | ||
| A congressman, a well-known Democrat congressman, two weeks ago was on... | ||
| I believe it was deface the nation. | ||
| Did anybody ever hear of deface? | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump on deface the nation. | ||
| It is deface today because they're dishonest. | ||
| So they deface the nation, right? | ||
| And or meet the fake press. | ||
| But they were on deface the nation. | ||
| And he said, you know, whether we like it or not, Iran was broke. | ||
| They were broke. | ||
| He used that term under the Trump administration. | ||
| They couldn't do anything. | ||
| They had no money. | ||
| They had to survive. | ||
| And we would have made it possible for them. | ||
| All I wanted them to do is not have a nuclear weapon. | ||
| Now they're 38 days away from having a nuclear weapon, and these guys don't know what to do because they're incompetent. | ||
| Our leaders are incompetent. | ||
| They're incompetent fools. | ||
| They're 38 days away, they say, from having a nuclear weapon. | ||
| Once they have a nuclear weapon, negotiation is going to be a whole different thing. | ||
| I was able to do a great job with Kim Jong-un. | ||
| You might have heard of him. | ||
| I used to call him Little Rocket Man, but he became somebody that we actually got along with very well. | ||
| He'd love to see me back. | ||
| We had a very good relationship. | ||
| When the press hears I have a relationship with Kim Jong-un or any of them, they say, that's terrible. | ||
| No, it's not terrible. | ||
| It's called smart. | ||
| You have a relationship. | ||
| You would have had a nuclear war if Hillary Clinton got in. | ||
| You know? | ||
| You would have had a nuclear war if Hillary Clinton got in. | ||
| But we're going to turn it around. | ||
| We're going to turn it around fast. | ||
| You don't have to get into these wars. | ||
| Look at what's happened in Ukraine. | ||
| Place has been decimated. | ||
| Many more people are killed than you read about. | ||
| You know, they'll knock down an apartment. | ||
| You see the size of those buildings? | ||
| They're long. | ||
| They're like three blocks long. | ||
| They'll knock it down. | ||
| They'll say two people were injured slightly. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| Many people were killed. | ||
| The real numbers will come out. | ||
| And you're going to see many more people are killed in Ukraine than anybody thought even possible. | ||
| Many of the numbers are massive. | ||
| And the cities are just being flattened. | ||
| They're being leveled. | ||
| Buildings, you know, it's their culture. | ||
| The magnificent golden towers going up that are a thousand years old and all this stuff is just being leveled. | ||
| It's so sad to see. | ||
| This never would have happened if I were the president. | ||
| And everybody knows it. | ||
| And it didn't happen, you know? | ||
| People say, well, how do we know? | ||
| Well, it didn't happen. | ||
| For four years, it didn't happen. | ||
| And Putin and I got along very well. | ||
| It would have never, ever happened. | ||
| I talked about it. | ||
| That was the apple of his eye. | ||
| There's no question about it. | ||
| I said, don't do it, Vladimir. | ||
| Don't do it. | ||
| We had some good talks, I will tell you. | ||
| But he wouldn't have done it. | ||
| And likewise, they would have never done the attack on Israel because they didn't have the money to do it. | ||
| And they knew that there would have been a very big attack back. | ||
| And it would have never happened what they did. | ||
| October 7th, what they did was unthinkable, so horrible, but it would have never happened. | ||
| All of these things would have never happened. | ||
| Inflation would have never happened because oil caused inflation. | ||
| Energy caused inflation. | ||
| Energy is so big, if you make donuts, you need it for the stoves, for the trucks, you need it to distribute. | ||
| Every business is not a business that doesn't need energy, and most of the energy is oil. | ||
| And what they did with the oil was so bad. | ||
| It's just so bad. | ||
| And that caused the inflation. | ||
| Now you look at the price as an example of bacon. | ||
| Up five times? | ||
| What does five times mean? | ||
| I looked at it the other day. | ||
| But our food prices are up 45% and 50%. | ||
| Our energy is up 50%. | ||
| Everything is up to a level that even if you are doing well, you're losing. | ||
| You're way, way behind the eight ball. | ||
| Well, we're going to all bring it back for you. | ||
| It's not going to be complicated. | ||
| It's going to go very fast. | ||
| So I'm the only candidate who can withstand the vicious media smear machine. | ||
| It's a vicious group of people back there. | ||
| And the dirty tricks that the Democrats have in store. | ||
| Because remember, if I wasn't running, they'll do the same thing to whoever it is that is running. | ||
| You watch. | ||
| They'll wilt like little babies. | ||
| They're going to wilt like a beautiful rose. | ||
| You watch. | ||
| There's nobody else could take this crap, I want to tell you. | ||
| There's nobody else to talk to. | ||
|

|
Thank you. | |
| Just think of the field day Crooked Joe Biden and his media protectors would have. | ||
| And they are protectors. | ||
| They protect him. | ||
| I mean, you see things that are so bad. | ||
| I mean, he can't walk off a stage. | ||
| He's looking for the stairs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Where am I? | |
| Where am I? | ||
| This guy's negotiating nuclear with Putin. | ||
| Where am I? | ||
| Secret Service, by the way, is great. | ||
| They run up on the stage to grab him because they're afraid he's going to fall off the front of the stage. | ||
| No, the stairs are all over. | ||
| We've got three of them here. | ||
| One there, one there, one there. | ||
| And he doesn't know that. | ||
| And his speeches are not exactly good. | ||
| They're very short, you know, because you run out of octane, you know. | ||
| You run out. | ||
| You ever notice he starts off, oh, mega, mega, mega. | ||
|
unidentified
|
By the end of the speech, he's like, oh. | |
| They say, get him off the stage. | ||
| He needs another. | ||
| Whatever happened to that? | ||
| Whatever happened to the cocaine? | ||
| Whatever happened to whatever the hell it was that they had in the White House a couple of months? | ||
| That was a strange event. | ||
| No, we're laughed at all over the world. | ||
| We're laughed at. | ||
| You know, look, I know the leaders of the world. | ||
| I know very well. | ||
| Got along with most of them. | ||
| The tougher they were, the better I got along. | ||
| I don't know what that is. | ||
| That's maybe something a little sad. | ||
| But I got along with the toughest ones. | ||
| Maybe that's the best thing. | ||
| But the ones that were weak and ineffective, I didn't actually get along with them as well. | ||
| But they understood. | ||
| But, you know, when you look at what we have here, can you imagine what they think when this guy walks into their office and you can't put two sentences together? | ||
| And these guys are at the top of their game. | ||
| They're all at the top of their game. | ||
| And we have a guy that 30 years ago really wasn't very good. | ||
| But now he's really bad. | ||
| Now he's really bad. | ||
| Just ask Ted Kennedy. | ||
| Good old Ted Kennedy told me a long time ago, I was friends with him in Palm Beach, I said, Ted, let me ask you a question. | ||
| Who's the smartest guy in the Senate? | ||
| And he gave me an answer. | ||
| I won't tell you who it was because I can't stand the guy, okay? | ||
| I said, who's the dumbest? | ||
| Yeah, I got along with him because I did him a big favor in Palm Beach. | ||
| He had a house, the Kennedy compound, a very rich family in Palm Beach. | ||
| And I did him something that was a very nice favor, very, very nice. | ||
| And for some reason, he never forgot it. | ||
| He liked it. | ||
| I liked him. | ||
| He was slightly left of me, like by about 200 degrees. | ||
| But he was a great guy, an entertaining guy. | ||
| I said, so who's the dumbest? | ||
| Who's the dumbest guy in the Senate? | ||
| And he goes like, probably Joe. | ||
| I said, who's Joe? | ||
| He said, Joe Biden. | ||
| He doesn't understand anything that's complex, like taxes. | ||
| Although he does understand, if you think about it, he does understand something about finance because a lot of money pours into his account. | ||
| But he said, probably Joe. | ||
| And I always remember that. | ||
| That was a long time ago, 20, 25 years ago. | ||
| Long prior to his death, actually. | ||
| But he said, probably Joe. | ||
| Who's Joe? | ||
| Joe Biden. | ||
| So this is what we have. | ||
| And now he's our president. | ||
| And now he's our president at a reduced level. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| At a reduced level. | ||
| You know, we're dealing with the most complex and most powerful weapons in the world. | ||
| And we have a man that has no idea what he's doing. | ||
| And you'll end up in World War III. | ||
| I'm the only one that can promise you. | ||
| That we will not end up in World War III. | ||
| There's not going to be world wars, not with me. | ||
| There's not going to be world wars. | ||
| And we do that through strength, not through weakness. | ||
| So what I want to do is I want to just tell you, it's very simple, we have to take back our country. | ||
| We have a country that's in such bad shape. | ||
| We have to take it back. | ||
| Nikki Haley is a disaster. | ||
| She worked for me for a long time. | ||
| I mean, I know it very well. | ||
| I actually put her there for a different reason. | ||
| I shouldn't say this, but you had a lieutenant governor named Henry McMaster who was fantastic. | ||
| I figured if I took her out of South Carolina governorship, put her someplace, any place, I put her someplace, then Henry McMaster, who was my friend and who's turned out to be a great governor in... | ||
| South Carolina, Henry McMaster would become the governor. | ||
| So I moved her to the United Nations. | ||
| And honestly, she was not a good negotiator. | ||
| She was not a good negotiator. | ||
| Now she likes to talk about, when I negotiated with China, I negotiated with China. | ||
| I did all of it. | ||
| We got in hundreds of billions of dollars, and I did it. | ||
| And you know, she has a hit on... | ||
| Social Security. | ||
| You know, she wants to raise the age very substantially. | ||
| You don't need that. | ||
| We don't want to do that. | ||
| And we have that liquid gold. | ||
| We don't have to do that to our seniors. | ||
| You earned it. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| Who said that? | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| You earned it. | ||
| You did earn it. | ||
| And you don't need that. | ||
| And the same thing with Medicare. | ||
| They want to obliterate it. | ||
| We're not going to do that. | ||
| So I say this. | ||
| Get out and vote. | ||
| And make sure we win by big margins. | ||
| The bigger the margin, the bigger the mandate that we have, the stronger we're going to be. | ||
| And I mean strong, not just for the next state, because the next state is Nevada. | ||
| And we're leading by 90 points! | ||
| So, I mean, unless you had a catastrophic event, I think that's in good shape. | ||
| And then we go to South Carolina, we're leading by a lot. | ||
| And then we're leading by everything. | ||
| Everywhere you go. | ||
| But I'm talking about November. | ||
| We have to win. | ||
| This sends the word to the other side. | ||
| They're very destructive. | ||
| Remember this, and I say it all the time. | ||
| If you took the 10 worst presidents in the history of our country, they will not have done the damage that crooked Joe Biden and this corrupt administration have done to the United States of America. | ||
| So we want to send a strong signal. | ||
| So even though we're leading by a lot, you have to go out and vote. | ||
| You just have to do it. | ||
| If it's cold, if it's hot, I don't care what the hell it is. | ||
| You have to go out and vote, okay? | ||
| And just don't sit back. | ||
| You know, the one thing, and they really did it in every speech. | ||
| I started up by saying, look. | ||
| We're leading by a lot, but you must go out and vote. | ||
| Don't sit home and say, well, you know what? | ||
| I love the president, but he's going to win by so much because we have to show big margins. | ||
| We have to show margins like never before, which is what happened last night. | ||
| We have to show margins like never before because we have to take back our country. | ||
| And if we don't take back our country, we're not going to have a country. | ||
| I love your state. | ||
| There's never been a better president for your state. | ||
| Your businesses were thriving. | ||
| And frankly, anything they have right now, and it's not very good, is running on the fumes of what I did, what my administration did, but what I did. | ||
| So we're going to get your gas prices down. | ||
| We're going to get your taxes down and extended. | ||
| If they let the Trump's tax cuts, the biggest in history, if they let that float and go back, your taxes are going to quadruple. | ||
| It's going to quadruple. | ||
| We can't let it happen. | ||
| So we have to win in November. | ||
| But let's just start with your vote next week, Tuesday. | ||
| You have to go out. | ||
| You have to vote. | ||
| And you have to give us those margins. | ||
| And I want to thank you, though, because I said at the beginning, remember, that in 2016 I came here. | ||
| And you gave me a vote of confidence like nobody could have ever given anybody. | ||
| We won by massive numbers, and it was an amazing thing. | ||
| It was a great vote of confidence. | ||
|

|
And don't forget, I never did this stuff before, right? | |
| Now I did it. | ||
| I know everybody. | ||
| I know the weak ones, the stupid ones, the brilliant ones. | ||
| I know them all. | ||
| I know the best ones. | ||
| I went there. | ||
| I said, how's this guy? | ||
| I had to rely on rhinos to give me advice. | ||
| I don't like that kind of advice. | ||
| And we had great people. | ||
| Look, we rebuilt our military. | ||
| Think of all the things we did. | ||
| Even Right to Try, you know, medical. | ||
| So for years and years, they wanted to get Right to Try, what's called Right to Try, meaning to try a medicine or a cure for a disease. | ||
| The problem was... | ||
| Nobody wanted it. | ||
| The country didn't want it because of liability. | ||
| Doctors didn't want it. | ||
| The insurance companies didn't want it. | ||
| And the pharmaceutical companies. | ||
| But we have the best labs in the world. | ||
| And people are dying, and we thought that maybe we'll do something. | ||
| And, you know, they'd come to me and say, we can't do it, because if we do it, and if they get injured because of the medicine or whatever it is that they're going to be doing or taking, we'll have a liability. | ||
| I said, these people are terminally ill. | ||
| They're not going to get injured. | ||
| They're dying. | ||
| They're going to be dead in a fairly short period of time. | ||
| They will sign something. | ||
| And I got everybody in a room. | ||
| I did it. | ||
| I got everybody in a room. | ||
| And I got the insurance companies. | ||
| We got everybody with the insurance companies in the labs. | ||
| I said, we're not going to count it on your numbers. | ||
| I was a separate set. | ||
| They didn't want to take people that were terminally ill because they didn't want accounting. | ||
| You know, it doesn't make their product look good. | ||
| I said, but look at it a different way. | ||
| Think if it works. | ||
| Then you've got to save all these people. | ||
| And that's what happened. | ||
| We have saved thousands and thousands of lives with Right to Try. | ||
| And that had to get passed by Congress. | ||
| We had to get through. | ||
| We had to get that through Congress. | ||
| So I just want to say we love you. | ||
| I'll be back here for a lot because we want to win this. | ||
| We want to win this state. | ||
| We want to win this state. | ||
| And now I'm going to go out and brave that cold weather and I'm going to get back to that airplane and then I'm going to go back to New York tonight and then I'm going to go to one of these phony cases tonight where we have tomorrow morning early, nice and early. | ||
| You know what I do? | ||
| Here's my schedule for the next four or five days. | ||
| I come here. | ||
| I meet with great groups in New Hampshire. | ||
| I then get on a plane late at night when it's snowing and freezing out. | ||
| Wonderful. | ||
| And the pilots say, sir, it's going to be tough. | ||
| And I get there early in the morning. | ||
| I go to a Biden witch hunt. | ||
| And then I come here in the afternoon and I stop and we make speeches and we get your votes and all that stuff. | ||
| But nobody's ever had to do this before. | ||
| These people are disgraceful. | ||
| They're a disgrace to our country. | ||
| I want to just leave this. | ||
| We are going to win on Tuesday at a level that maybe could even be bigger than what we just did last night in Iowa. | ||
| And the greatest expression of all time, I think the greatest slogan, whatever you want to call it, it's called Make America Great Again. | ||
| It's called MAGA. | ||
| It's the greatest of all time. | ||
| We are going to put America first, and we are going to make America great again. | ||
| Thank you very much, everybody. | ||

Thank you. | |
| All right, ladies and gentlemen, we are witnessing a little bit of Trump dancing. | ||
| These are the good moves. | ||
| Trump dancing history. | ||
| We got Vivek Ranswamy, who came on stage and came correct, along with a massive embrace of Donald Trump. | ||
| We have highlights for you. | ||
| It's going to be absolutely fire to see what the rest of the race looks like. | ||
| Obviously, what you saw on stage was a pretty brutal, vivek, truth bomb wreckage. | ||
| Now, you'll be shocked to know that Fox News cut away right during... | ||
| Right during the truth bombs. | ||
| Here's that clip. | ||
| We believe those ideals still exist. | ||
| This man is going to be your next president to revive them. | ||
| E pluribus unum. | ||
|
unidentified
|
From many one. | |
| And you know how we're doing it? | ||
| We're doing it by speaking the truth at every step of the way. | ||
| There are two genders in this country. | ||
| Period. | ||
| That is the truth. | ||
| Fossil fuels are a requirement for human prosperity. | ||
| Drill, frack, burn coal, embrace nuclear energy. | ||
| Reverse racism is racism. | ||
| An open border is not a border. | ||
| Parents determine the education of their children. | ||
| The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind. | ||
| Capitalism lifts us up from poverty. | ||
| There are three branches of government in the United States, not four. | ||
| And the U.S. Constitution is the strongest and greatest guarantor of freedom in human history. | ||
| That is the truth. | ||
| We fight for the truth. | ||

| Oh, great. | ||
| Well, thank you, Ari Fleischer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, really? | |
| No, you work for George W. Bush. | ||
| Really appreciate your commentary here. | ||
| Totally worth cutting away from Vivek live, talking about very important issues like the nuclear family and education and constitution and that God is real. | ||
| Can't have that. | ||
| Vivek also dropping truth bombs about Donald Trump as commander-in-chief, leading to a pat on the back. | ||
| Between those of us who love the United States of America and a fringe minority who hates this country and what we stand for. | ||
| And right now we need... | ||
| A commander-in-chief who will lead us to victory in this war. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's what we need in this country. | |
| Ladies and gentlemen, Vivek Ranswamy going in hard against the person who will certainly potentially be in contention for the VP slot, right? | ||
| A lot of people are saying that it might be Nikki Haley. | ||
| Nobody wants to see it. | ||
| But Vivek Roswami doing his best job interview here to ensure that his competition don't get it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know what? | |
| We do have some enemies that we need to defeat on the other side, but we have challenges to address in our own party right here at home. | ||
| So you know what? | ||
| If you want somebody who's going to foist onto you to use your social media account, you want to use a driver's license to do it, to have the right to use the internet, this man's not your man. | ||
| There's another candidate in this race who'll do that for you. | ||
| It's Nikki Haley. | ||
| You want to cut Social Security? | ||
| You want to cut Medicare? | ||
| You want to cut veterans' benefits so we can fork over more money to Ukraine so some kleptocrat can buy a bigger house? | ||
| Vote for Nikki Haley, not this man right here. | ||
| But if you want to actually put an agenda that puts Americans first, to say that the moral obligation of your leaders is to the citizens of this country, not another one. | ||
| There is not a better choice left in this race than this man right here. | ||
| And that is why I am asking you to do the right thing as New Hampshire and to vote for Donald J. Trump as your next president, because we're not working with a lot of. | ||

A very, very strong... | |
| Strong speech by Vivek. | ||
| My entire timeline is clips of Vivek. | ||
| They're going viral. | ||
| And look at Donald Trump. | ||
| Look at that man. | ||
| Look at that man. | ||
| These guys are happy. | ||
| They like each other. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| They legitimately like each other. | ||
| Donald Trump was really happy to see somebody fire up the crowd correctly. | ||
| Also, whenever you meet Vivek, you'll be shocked at how tall he is. | ||
| He's actually like... | ||
| Over six feet tall. | ||
| I mean, you stand next to Donald Trump. | ||
| Donald Trump's a very tall man. | ||
| So, who wants to see it? | ||
| I put up on X. And, um, I don't know. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Fierce. | ||
| I prefer this. | ||
| Vivek versus Kamala debates would sell out the Super Bowl. | ||
| Bring it on. | ||
| We deserve it. | ||
| They're amazing together. | ||
| Trump's on fire and strong. | ||
| Vivek is electric and charismatic. | ||
| I, of course, want to see it. | ||
| Ben Carson would be better. | ||
| Me? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| VP? | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| Trump? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Vivek? | ||
| No. | ||
| Trump? | ||
| Vivek? | ||
| I like Ben Carson. | ||
| Vivek brings the enthusiasm. | ||
| Okay. | ||

|
There we go. | |
| That will be a day to celebrate. | ||
| So this is what everyone says. | ||
| Let me know what you think in the comment section. | ||
| Speaking of comments, let's just jump right over here to a super chat from Gas Man. | ||
| Thank you, Gas Man! | ||
| That's what will help me get gas money for our channel so we can drive to the studio and do the show. | ||
| I mean, we've been on the road all day. | ||
| And so, here we are live again. | ||
| And this is the energy we're going to bring into 2024. | ||
| I mean, man, we haven't had any sleep the last couple of days. | ||
| Benny, I appreciate the kind words. | ||
| Said last time, I sent you Super Chat, actually at E2. | ||
| And they keep me at E2 and E2 pay, even though E3 auto advancement. | ||
| This is talking about military grade and rank. | ||
| Honorable, but no benefits, because they kicked out two months before my one-year mark. | ||
| Well, ladies and gentlemen, I don't profess to be an expert on military rank, Nico DeStefano, but I do know this, that if you are advancing in the military, and if it is something that you see as a profession that you wish to... | ||
| Attain. | ||
| You should stick with it. | ||
| A lot of people are like, drop out of the military! | ||
| Joe Biden's president! | ||
| I don't think that's the attitude. | ||
| I probably wouldn't join the military right now if I were you, but if you're still in the military and you're advancing, well, military careers can be long and storied, and we need smart people, and we need people to be able to pass on their knowledge and their patriotism and their love of country to others. | ||
| And so I'm an advocate. | ||
| I'm an advocate for staying in the military. | ||
| I hope they're not screwing you over. | ||
| I hope this has nothing to do, you know, obviously with experimental injections and so forth. | ||
| You have a right to bodily autonomy. | ||
| And I hope that you advance and advance quickly. | ||
| And yeah, I mean, you know, you're Daffy Duck, according to your avatar. | ||
| And I've seen Daffy Duck handle a firearm in many documentary cartoons. | ||
| And so he's really good at it. | ||
| I assume you're very good at it. | ||
| Nico. | ||
| God bless you, man. | ||
| God bless you. | ||
| Winning reality says we need to get Dems to vote with us for Ron Paul in the primaries. | ||
| We used to get Dems to vote with us for Ron Paul in the primaries. | ||
| Neocon rhinos, Dem plants, because they are all establishment. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| The real paradigm is the establishment versus anti-establishment. | ||
| I cover a lot of your stuff on my shows. | ||
| I hope to have you on one day. | ||
| I would love that. | ||
| Winning reality. | ||
| Let's make that happen. | ||
| Rock on, my brother. | ||
| And you're right. | ||
| Establishment versus anti-establishment, which is what you just saw on stage tonight with Vivek and Donald Trump. | ||
| There's no more anti-establishment campaign that is ever run in America. | ||
| And they're going to win. | ||
| Laurinetta, I just say thank you. | ||
| It was a super sticker. | ||
| Well, God bless you. | ||
| Trump Carlson, 2024. | ||
| This audience seems to really like the Trump Tucker. | ||
| I've been watching the comments. | ||
| This audience seems to really like Trump Tucker. | ||
| But Kimberly Morey says Trump vivek like cake 2024! | ||
| So Kimberly, first off, I love your use of the American flag emoji. | ||
| There are hundreds of American flag emojis right there in this comment. | ||
| And then vivek, you are saying vivek correctly, as did Donald Trump. | ||
| Although Donald Trump said Ron Schwame in its clip, introducing him. | ||
| But... | ||
| I believe that Vivek will most likely get a cabinet position, right? | ||
| Could you see Vivek on, I mean, obviously very, very good at business and commerce. | ||
| I could see Vivek in charge of like the Department of Education. | ||
| Oh man, that would fry some circuits. | ||
| Be awesome. | ||
| Will he be vice president? | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| Donald Trump said during the debate or the town hall last week that he's already chosen as vice president and that's already done. | ||
| So what does that mean? | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| Missouri and USA for Trump says Leland Merrick. | ||
| I agree with you, Leland. | ||
| I also, I wouldn't consider myself a smoker, but I do have a couple Meerschaum pipes. | ||
| So I don't know if you are a pipe smoker, given your avatar, but I love my Meerschaum pipe. | ||
| They're from Germany, and they're awesome. | ||
| So I love these Meerschaum pipes. | ||
| You put pipe tobacco in it, smoke it, it's awesome. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| So if you're a pipe smoker yourself, good for you. | ||
| Love the Brigade and love Trump, says LC. | ||
| Thank you, LC. | ||
| We love you back. | ||
| And that looks like a beautiful flower. | ||
| Do you garden? | ||
| Do you garden? | ||
| Did you grow that flower? | ||
| Because it's lovely. | ||
| Congratulations if you did. | ||
| Leland said, be ultra-maga, be proud. | ||
| USA, God bless Donald Trump. | ||
| Very exciting, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| And a good Bible verse here from Dylan Ginger. | ||
| No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper. | ||
| Every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. | ||
| This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord. | ||
| We will win. | ||
| This is a verse from Isaiah. | ||
| Thank you for that excellent verse, Dylan. | ||
| Something good, of course, to remember. | ||
| That God will have his justice and his vengeance. | ||
| And Donald Trump said during the town hall last week, Hey, I'm not going to make it about vengeance anymore. | ||
| Kind of walk that back. | ||
| No, it's not really going to be about vengeance and retribution. | ||
| We don't have time for that. | ||
| Well, quite frankly, that's up to God. | ||
| And what vengeance and retribution would it be to have Donald Trump back in the White House? | ||
| With Vivekran Swamy as vice president? | ||

| 2024? | ||
| I don't know if that's even constitutional. | ||
| I need to brush up on my second article of the Constitution. | ||
| Find out for the sake of the Vice President. | ||
| I would assume, since the Vice President is the next in line, that the Vice President would have the same restrictions on him or her that the President has. | ||
| But what do I know? | ||
|
unidentified

I need to brush up on my second article. | |
| What would it be? | ||
| I mean, it'd have to be, right? | ||
| Over the age of 35? | ||
| 14 years in the United States, natural-born American citizen is what the restrictions are on the United States president. | ||
| Leland back at it again. | ||
| I think Vivek would make a great VP, but agree that I don't know if Trump can share the spotlight with somebody that charismatic. | ||
| I hope he can. | ||
| It would be an exciting and hell of a ticket. | ||
| Here's why I would want that, Leland. | ||
| The debate between Vivek and Kamala Harris. | ||
| Mind-blowing. | ||
| Mind-blowing. | ||
| Cassandra for Fine Arts and Peaceful Haven Studios. | ||
| Cassandra, Fine Arts, Peaceful Haven Studios. | ||
| That sounds wonderful. | ||
| Trump and MTG for the win. | ||
| We were with MTG yesterday. | ||
| We went to a caucus with her yesterday. | ||
| She's a great ball of fire, as you know from the show. | ||
| But I agree. | ||
| Benny, you rock, says Ronald. | ||
| Ronald, you rock, baby. | ||
| Not since Ronald Reagan's presidency. | ||
| Has a Republican won the Iowa caucus by such a wide margin? | ||
| Donald Trump won the Iowa caucus by the widest margin in history. | ||
| So not since Ronald Reagan's presidency. | ||
| Ronald, is that your namesake? | ||
| Were you named after Ronald Reagan? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Let's do one more here because there's a question that I asked to Nico DiStefano. | ||
| It definitely was about the COVID mandate. | ||
| Stood up. | ||
| It was morally correct, but got punished for it. | ||
| I'm not eligible for any VA benefits with an honorable discharge. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| You had, okay, an honorable discharge. | ||
| Oh, got it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| So you're not stuck at E2 through, you know, and still serving. | ||
| Well, maybe you can be one of those, maybe you can be one of those dudes who, I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know, Nico. | ||
| So I don't want to assume anything, but I hear there are huge bonuses to sign back up. | ||
| But if you did do that. | ||
| Then you should demand, obviously, your commission back and the acceleration of your status inside of the military and rank. | ||
| And you should also sign on to a lawsuit that sues for back pay. | ||
| There are a number of those working their way through the system right now. | ||
| God bless you, and God bless you for standing up for bodily autonomy. | ||
| Your body is a temple, the Lord says, and you should treat it as such. | ||
| And nobody should ever be able to force you to take medicine you don't want to take. | ||
| That makes you a slave. | ||
| Makes you a slave. | ||
| Somebody has control over your body and you don't. | ||
| Somebody else has control over your body. | ||
| That means you are the slave and they are the master. | ||
| That's how it works. | ||
| God bless you, Nico. | ||
| And fill me in next time we're live. | ||

I don't know how any of these candidates do it, to be quite honest with you. | |
| But we got energized by meeting so many people from the brigade. | ||
| We got energized by meeting so many people from the audience. | ||
| And it's just wonderful. | ||
| I mean, as you can probably see from my eyes, haven't gotten much sleep. | ||
| So I drove all night to Chicago because that's the only flight we were able to get back here. | ||
| So we drove to Chicago last night, slept on an airport floor, and then flew back here in the morning after major delays. | ||
| And we're finally able to get back in the studio. | ||
| In time for this live. | ||
| And so, we say thank you, Ashley. | ||
| We say thank you to everyone in the Betty Brigade. | ||
| And we just want to say, God bless you. | ||
| We are excited for this moment. | ||
| We are excited for this time. | ||
| This is a time for us to unify. | ||
| And a time for us to sort of claim the mantle. | ||
| And to organize. | ||
| And to get ready for the fight of our lives. | ||
| The fight to take back this country from true Marxism. | ||
| Statism. | ||
| Absolute statism. | ||
| Fascistic statism. | ||
| And to allow for us to become the vessels for God's justice. | ||
| Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord. | ||
| Okay, but what else does he ask of us? | ||
| That we act. | ||
| We are not slothful. | ||
| That we take action. | ||
| That we stand for something. | ||
| And that we create moral boundaries. | ||
| Right? | ||
| You can't do that here. | ||
| And I expect there to be a lot of that. | ||
