This is a pretty amazing cult.
benny johnson
That's awesome!
Make the country great again!
This is something that Donald Trump should walk out on stage to.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are here for President Trump's rally.
The first rally back to the state of Pennsylvania since being shot in the head.
And we have news on that.
But first, ladies and gentlemen, let's pop on over.
Tonight we're going to carry the rally live.
We're going to start doing more of this.
Maybe you can see it in the eyes.
Maybe it's because I'm a parent of a bunch of little kids.
But, you know what?
We're just going to Leroy Jenkins this thing through the election.
Just being honest with you.
We want to just...
We want a Leroy Jenkins Kool-Aid man this thing like through the next 98 days, 98 days to the election, 97 days, 97 days to the election.
And we're going to cover, you're going to be seeing some more lives from us.
You're going to be seeing more coverage from us, including tonight where we're going to show you something that Donald Trump just did, a live event that Donald Trump just did in Chicago.
Donald Trump is set to speak on stage in Butler at 6 p.m.
Now, the president did just land, so we have a feeling he's going to be a few minutes behind, but have no fear, we have some entertainment for you.
Oh, baby, we have some entertainment for you.
Here is the live shot from inside of the arena, which we hear is effectively at capacity.
This was what it looked like earlier today, a sea of MAGA waiting outside in Pennsylvania, ladies and gentlemen, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
This is just up the road from Butler, Pennsylvania, where President Trump was shot.
And people are getting rowdy, ladies and gentlemen.
This is the inside of the arena right now.
A reporter saying that it's hours before Trump speaking and it's already 80% full.
So we're going to see if we are going to have another packed night.
This has been Donald Trump events.
It looks like the same event, but it's not.
These are Donald Trump events in Michigan, Minnesota, and North Carolina over the last few days.
President Trump departing.
Chicago, next stop, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Ready to rock.
Trump Force One again just landed.
Ladies and gentlemen, we had an amazing moment.
Just happened in American politics.
And this is a very, very special one.
Donald Trump...
Did a town hall style event with the National Association of Black Journalists.
There's an organization, been around for a little bit, and they were having their annual meeting in Chicago.
And Donald Trump, as you can imagine, is not like super well liked by this organization.
Presumably has a little bit, there's a little bit of aggression, paid for aggression on stage.
And we saw it in real time.
And it is singularly the...
Possibly the greatest interview that Donald Trump has ever done.
This has because you'd be in jail energy all over it.
Donald Trump, the closer, I think doing a remarkable job.
He's made quite a few headlines from this interview.
We're going to play it for you, but I want to take a step back in time just for a moment because for the first time ever in a 24-hour time span, we'll be able to see the difference between a Kamala Harris rally And a President Trump rally.
Kamala Harris held her first rally yesterday in Atlanta, Georgia.
This is, of course, a place that has proven, proven voter fraud.
Kamala Harris, as soon as she travels south of the Mason-Dixon line, she immediately turns into Foghorn Leghorn.
kamala harris
God helped us win in 2020, and we're gonna do it again in 2024.
unidentified
Yes, we will.
kamala harris
Yes, we will.
benny johnson
Spoken like somebody.
Smoking like somebody raised in Quebec, like Kamala Harris was.
Mother's a doctor, father's a professor, father's a professor, raised in Quebec, born in California.
This is that famous Quebec accent.
kamala harris
Donald Trump, on the other hand, has been talking a big game about securing our border, but he does not walk the walk.
Or as my friend Quavo would say, he does not walk it like he talks it.
unidentified
Thank you.
benny johnson
I clapped!
I clapped!
unidentified
I'm clapping!
benny johnson
The seal's at SeaWorld!
It's lunchtime!
Why would you clap for that?
I don't know, man.
unidentified
I don't know.
benny johnson
It was super awkward.
Kamala Harris spoke for only 30 minutes.
Donald Trump was only allowed 30 minutes to speak at the National Association of Black Journalists.
Let me tell you what, man.
These quotes are going savage mode.
This clip alone has 3 million views on our page, 45,000 likes, 8,000 reposts.
Whoa.
This is just flying.
All these clips just absolute nuking.
Donald Trump was at his A game.
And we were watching this and we said, you know, we were wondering if we would cover it live.
There are some things that got in the way.
And so why not replay it?
It's not that long of an interview.
Why not replay it as we wait for the president?
Because it was absolutely, mind-bogglingly astonishing.
And Donald Trump was cooking from the second he walked on the stage.
They did delay Donald Trump on stage by 30 minutes because they couldn't get their tech right.
And then they finally got Donald Trump on stage, and they're very sad that they did.
In fact, they cut his time on stage by 30 minutes.
Kamala Harris, too much of a coward, by the way, to speak to the National Association of Black Journalists.
Kamala Harris, far too busy twerking for votes.
Benny, how could you say that?
That's so offensive.
No, it's literally what they did.
This was the Kamala Harris rally last night.
unidentified
Hey, hey, yeah.
Body crazy, curvy, play me.
Body crazy, curvy, play me.
Look at how I body that, ended up in KB bass.
Yeah, you look good but they still wanna know.
I'm a real creep tip, yeah.
Rule number one, don't repeat that.
Rule number two, if they all came with you, make some noise, is that now?
Whoa, whoa.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah.
Enough.
benny johnson
Enough.
Yeah.
Am I out of touch?
Am I not hip?
I'm sorry that that just hurt.
It hurts my ears.
Hurts the eardrums.
Hurts the eyeballs.
I don't understand what that is.
I admittedly don't listen to rap music.
And if you do, then, you know, that's on, like, food, right?
It's like, you might like this, not that.
It's up to your own taste.
But what the hell was that?
You're like, twerking for votes?
Is that what this campaign is going to be?
Can't end soon enough.
97 days.
Can't end soon enough.
So Kamala Harris has to twerk for votes.
The only reason that anybody showed up for Kamala Harris was because there was a rapper, Megan Thee Clydesdale, who showed up to whatever that was.
It didn't sound like rap to me, but it was something.
And maybe I'm just out of touch.
We listen to a lot of country music in my house.
Luke Combs.
Zach Bryan.
Morgan Wallen.
Johnny Cash.
Okay, call me whatever you want to call me.
But that's what we have in our family.
Not that.
But apparently that's what you do if you want Democrat votes.
I doubt you will see any of that tonight from the President Trump rally.
Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, President Trump saying it about as good as anybody can, talking about what you won't see at his rallies.
President Trump, just a second here.
Here we go.
President Trump commenting on Meghan the Stallion.
Just a big fan of equestrian life there.
Crazy Kamala Harris voted the worst vice president in history, needed a concert to bring people to Atlanta.
They started leaving five minutes into her speech, which is provable.
There's video of this from Savannah Hernandez.
I didn't need concerts or entertainers.
I just have to make America great again.
Fact check true.
There, ladies and gentlemen.
So let's go ahead and check some facts here.
When it comes to the President Trump interview that he just did with the National Association of Black Journalists, an ABC News reporter getting the first cha right next to President Trump.
Watch, by the way, for an Easter egg in this interview as President Trump steals her water bottle.
It's such an alpha move.
And you know what?
She's going to need that water bottle because President Trump goes full flames.
Here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
This is President Trump's interview just done a few, like just an hour ago, President Trump did this interview as we await President Trump in Pennsylvania.
Let's go.
unidentified
Using the hashtag NABJ fact check.
Again, the hashtag is NABJ fact check.
We have a lot to get to and we do not want to waste any time.
So let's bring out the former president of the United States the Republican nominee for president former president Donald Trump
Mr. President, we so appreciate you giving us an hour of your time.
I want to start by addressing the elephant in the room, sir.
A lot of people did not think it was appropriate for you to be here today.
You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals, from Nikki Haley to former President Barack Obama, saying that they were not born in the United States, which is not true.
You have told four Congresswomen women of color who were American citizens to go back to where they came from.
You have used words like "animal" and "rabbit" to describe black district attorneys.
You've attacked black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the questions that they ask are "stupid" and "racist." You've had dinner with a white supremacist at your Mar-a-Lago resort.
So my question, sir, now that you are asking black supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust you after you have used language like that?
donald j trump
Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner, a first question.
You don't even say, hello, how are you?
Are you with ABC?
Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible network.
And I think it's disgraceful that I came here in good spirit.
I love the black population of this country.
I've done so much for the black population of this country, including employment, including opportunity zones with Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, which is one of the greatest programs ever for black workers and black entrepreneurs.
I've done so much.
And, you know, when I say this...
Historically, black colleges and universities were out of money.
They were stone-cold broke.
And I saved them, and I gave them long-term financing, and nobody else was doing it.
I think it's a very rude introduction.
I don't know exactly why you would do something like that.
And let me go a step further.
I was invited here, and I was told my opponent, whether it was Biden or Kamala.
I was told my opponent was going to be here.
It turned out my opponent isn't here.
You invited me under false pretense.
And then you said you can't do it with Zoom.
Well, you know, where's Zoom?
She's going to do it with Zoom and she's not coming.
And then you were half an hour late.
Just so we understand, I have too much respect for you to be late.
They couldn't get their equipment working or something was wrong.
I think it's a very nasty question.
I have answered the question.
I have been the best president.
For the black population since Abraham Lincoln.
That's my answer.
unidentified
Better than President Johnson who signed the Voting Rights Act.
donald j trump
For you to start off a question and answer period, especially when you're 35 minutes late because you couldn't get your equipment to work.
In such a hostile manner, I think it's a disgrace.
unidentified
Let me just ask a follow-up, sir, and then we'll move on to other questions here.
Some of your own supporters, including Republicans on Capitol Hill, have labeled Vice President Kamala Harris, who was the first Black and Asian-American woman to serve as Vice President and be on a major party ticket as a DEI hire.
Is that acceptable language to you?
And will you tell those Republicans and those supporters to stop it?
donald j trump
How do you define DEI?
Go ahead.
How do you define it?
unidentified
Diversity, equity, and inclusion.
donald j trump
Okay, yeah.
Go ahead.
Is that what your definition?
unidentified
That is literally the words.
Give me a definition, then.
donald j trump
Would you give me a definition of that?
Give me a definition.
unidentified
Sir, I'm asking you a question, a very direct question.
donald j trump
Define it for me, if you would.
No, no, you have to define it.
unidentified
I just defined it, sir.
Do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris is only on the ticket because she is a black woman?
donald j trump
Well, I can say no.
I think it's maybe a little bit different.
So I've known her a long time indirectly, not directly very much.
She was always of Indian heritage and she was only promoting Indian heritage.
I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black.
So I don't know, is she Indian or is she black?
unidentified
She is always identified as a black when she went to a historically black college.
donald j trump
I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't because she was Indian all the way and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she went...
She became a black person.
Just to be clear, sir, do you believe that she is— I think somebody should look into that, too, when you ask, continue in a very hostile, nasty tone.
unidentified
It's a direct question, sir.
Do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris is a DEI hire, as some Republicans should say?
I really don't know.
donald j trump
I mean, I really don't know.
Could be.
Could be.
There are some, and there are plenty.
I know this lady right over there, Harris, is a fantastic person who just interviewed me at length.
And we had a great interview, I think, and I heard you got very good ratings on that interview.
harris faulkner
Well, you told me it was the longest one of your life, so we had a good discussion.
Look, I want to talk about why you're here today.
I mean, it is not lost on us how divided we are as a country.
And as you were coming today, we really got to see that we were divided along the lines of race, along the lines of gender.
And there is this question of, in this moment where we are, Why come here?
What is your message today?
donald j trump
My message is to stop people from invading our country that are taking, frankly, a lot of problems with it.
But one of the big problems, and a lot of the journalists in this room I know and I have great respect for, a lot of the journalists in this room are black.
I will tell you that coming from the border are millions and millions of people.
That happened to be taking black jobs.
You had the best.
unidentified
What exactly is a black job, sir?
donald j trump
A black job is anybody that has a job.
That's what it is.
Anybody that has a job.
unidentified
All right.
donald j trump
And they're taking the employment away from black people.
They're coming in and they're coming in.
They're invading.
It's an invasion of millions of people, probably 15, 16, 17 million people.
I have a feeling it's much more than that.
And everybody's been seeing what's happened.
The first group of people, the black population, is affected most by that.
And Kamala is allowing it to happen.
She's the border czar.
She's the worst border czar in the history of the world.
There's never been a border czar like this.
She's never even essentially been.
She said she was there once, but not the right part of the border.
So she was a border czar.
She's done a horrible job.
These people are coming into our country and they're taking...
Black jobs and Hispanic jobs, and frankly, they're taking union jobs.
Unions are being very badly affected by all of the millions of people that are pouring into our country.
And one thing, as we discussed, many of these people are coming in from mental institutions, from prisons, from jails, they're gang members in other countries.
Other countries are setting loose their prisoners, they're opening up their prisons and their mental institutions, and they're taking their bad people.
Drug dealers, gang members, and they're bringing them into the United States.
And by the way, their crime rate is going down, and our crime rate is going to be a disaster.
harris faulkner
Mr. President, I want to get into how you address some of the issues with black communities.
And I say that plural because we live in communities of color that are different.
We're not all the same.
We don't vote the same.
We don't think the same.
It's not monolithic.
So as you come here today, I want to talk about something that births.
And this is the weight.
of the inflation on this country right now.
The nonprofit Money Management International recently released data from its mid-year analysis that we have found a 52% rise in people who are seeking counseling for being in credit debt.
They're paying for food that is sky high on their credit cards, and now they can't pay that off.
The credit counseling nonprofit, MMI, as I said, is saying now that they've seen surges that they haven't seen since we were in a pandemic of people in financial trouble.
Much of that falls on the shoulders of single moms, single black moms, when you look statistically.
How do you turn it around?
What's your plan for the black community when it comes to money?
donald j trump
So, first of all, it's very hard to hear you for whatever reason because of the fact that they have bad equipment, because I guess, you know, this woman was unable to get the right equipment.
But it's very hard for me to hear you, but I can hear every other word.
It's very difficult, actually.
So I don't know if they can fix it or do something with it.
I'll do the best I can with it.
The inflation is absolutely destroying our middle class, our working class, virtually every class.
Inflation is a disaster in our country.
Inflation is a country buster.
It breaks every country.
We had, in my opinion, the worst inflation we've had.
They say it's 58 years, but I think it's much more than that.
It's been devastating.
And if you just take a look at a lot of things they don't include, like interest rates.
Interest rates went from 2.4% to 10% and you can't get the money.
People can't buy houses.
They no longer have the American dream.
Young people, young black people, they don't have the American dream anymore.
They can't buy a house.
They can't borrow the money because of the cost of the money.
They can't buy it because of the cost of housing, because of the cost of building, because of inflation.
Inflation is a disaster and it's destroying our country.
And it's destroying the black community probably as much...
harris faulkner
So what do you do?
What's your plan?
donald j trump
You know what we have to do?
We have to bring down the cost of energy, and that's going to bring down the cost of inflation.
This was all started with a bad energy policy by Joe Biden.
By the way, just if I might, I was running against a man named Biden.
You probably saw that.
And he was losing very badly in the polls, and then he had a rather bad debate.
I would say it was a bad debate.
I would say it was one of the worst.
Worst debates in history.
And his poll numbers crashed.
And instead of saying, you know, let's keep going and maybe something happens the other way, they said, oh, we're going to replace him.
Let's just replace him.
That's like you're in a fight.
A prizefighter's in a fight.
He's not doing what you say.
Let's bring in another fighter.
So our whole campaign was steered toward him.
And now we have to steer it to him.
But ultimately, it's the same because they have bad policy.
They have policies of open borders.
Unbelievable open borders, horrible energy policies.
They want to get rid of, as you say, gasoline in cars.
They want to get rid of oil.
They want to get rid of efficient heating.
Environmentally, what they're doing is killing our country.
They're absolutely destroying our country.
But the inflation is the thing that's hurting the black worker.
The black population and every other population within our country.
Inflation is the worst it's been, I think, in over a hundred years.
And they'll fact check it.
They'll say it's only 58. Whatever it may be, they don't add all the numbers.
They don't add the really bad numbers.
And you can check that, too.
But inflation, Harris, is absolutely destroying this country and the people in our country.
Yes, ma 'am.
unidentified
Mr. President, can I ask you another question that is also impacting black Americans?
donald j trump
And that's very clear now.
unidentified
I'm sorry?
donald j trump
It's very clear.
I hear you.
unidentified
Okay.
So, Sonia Massey, someone from Illinois, an unarmed black woman was shot the other day in her home by a deputy sheriff.
The deputy has since been charged with murder.
You've said police would get immunity from prosecution if you went.
Why should someone like that officer have immunity, in your opinion?
donald j trump
Immunity?
I don't know the exact case, but I saw something, and it didn't look good to me.
It didn't look good to me.
Are you talking with the water, right?
unidentified
Yeah, well, I mean, police unions are not backing this person either.
donald j trump
They're going to be charging the officer.
I guess they're charging the officer.
unidentified
So why should he receive immunity?
donald j trump
Well, he might not.
I mean, it depends.
It depends on what happens.
I'm talking about people that are...
Much different cases than that.
We need people to protect ourselves.
And, by the way, in Chicago, as an example, a few weeks ago, July 4th weekend, they had 117 shootings and 17 deaths.
Nobody wants that.
Nobody wants that.
We need to have our police officers have the respect and dignity back.
In this particular case, I saw something that didn't look good to me.
I didn't like it.
I didn't like it at all.
unidentified
So, can you get a little more specific back to the immunity question?
Who would make those distinctions?
donald j trump
Well, right now, for the most part, for the most part, people are protected by their unions, by their police unions, or by their police departments.
But I'm saying, if I felt, or if a group of people would feel that somebody was being unfairly prosecuted because the person did a good job maybe with crime...
Or made a mistake, an innocent mistake.
There's a big difference between being a bad person and making an innocent mistake.
But if somebody made an innocent mistake, I would want to help that person.
unidentified
What would those exceptions be?
What would determine an innocent mistake?
donald j trump
You go after somebody and it's a very close call and it's very dangerous.
And you know, they have...
The policeman's life and woman is a very difficult thing because...
Sometimes you have less than a second to make a life and death decision, and sometimes very bad decisions are made.
They're not made from an evil standpoint, but they're made from the standpoint of they made a mistake.
unidentified
So I want to follow up really quickly.
You know, I find it interesting because you do talk about reining in prosecutors, especially when it comes to prosecutors that are prosecuting you.
Why doesn't that skepticism apply to law enforcement?
donald j trump
Well, I've been prosecuted because I'm a political opponent of two people that have weaponized our justice system.
I've been prosecuted.
I just won the big case in Florida.
Everyone said that was the biggest case.
That was the most difficult case.
And I just won it.
Now, Biden has a similar case, except much worse.
I was protected under the Presidential Records Act.
Biden wasn't, because he wasn't president at the time.
And he had 50 years' worth of documents.
They ruled that he was incompetent, and therefore he shouldn't stand trial.
And I said, isn't that something?
He's incompetent, and he can't stand trial, and yet he can be president.
Isn't that nice?
But they released him on the basis that he was incompetent.
They said he had no memory, and he was a nice old guy, but he had no memory, and therefore we're not going to prosecute him.
I won the case and got very little publicity.
I didn't notice ABC doing any publicity on it, George.
unidentified
I'd love to move on to different topics right now.
donald j trump
I didn't notice you do any publicity on it at all.
I won the case, the biggest case.
This is an attack on a political opponent.
I have another one where I have a hostile judge.
unidentified
We have you for a limited time, sir.
I'd love to move on to different topics if we can.
donald j trump
You're the one that held me up for 35 minutes, just so you understand.
unidentified
If we can move on now to the state of the race, sir, I want to get back to the campaign.
Senator J.D. Vance is your running mate.
He's had a lot of controversy lately, and I want to read you a few things that he has said in the past.
He said the Democrats running the country are a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices they've made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.
He's not talking here about how great it is to be a parent.
He's attacking what he says are the choices people are making to not have children.
Did you know that he had these views about people who do not have children before you picked him to be your running mate?
And do you agree with him?
donald j trump
No, I know this.
He is very family-oriented.
And he thinks family is a great thing.
That doesn't mean he thinks that if you don't have a family, it's not.
I know people with families.
I know people with great families.
I know people with very troubled families.
And I also know people with no families that didn't meet the right person.
Things happen.
You go through life, you don't meet the right person.
unidentified
But he's not just talking about families here.
He also says that people that don't have children should get less votes than those that do.
donald j trump
I'm just speaking for myself.
unidentified
Is that your campaign position?
donald j trump
I think I'm speaking for him, too.
He strongly believes in family.
But I know people with great families.
I know people with not great families that don't have a family.
And the people without the family are far better.
They're superior in many cases, okay?
He's not saying they're not.
What he's saying is that he thinks the family experience is a very important thing.
It's a very good thing.
But that doesn't mean that if you grow up and you grow older and you don't meet somebody that would be wonderful to meet and would have been good, that that's a bad thing.
He's not saying that.
My interpretation, you'll have to ask him, actually, but my interpretation is he's strongly family-oriented, but that doesn't mean if you don't have a family, there's something wrong with it.
unidentified
Just one last point and then we'll move on.
Just one of the bedrock principles of American life is one person, one vote.
Senator J.D. Vance has suggested that someone who has children should have more votes than a person who does not have children.
I just want to be clear here.
Is that the position of your campaign?
donald j trump
Well, no, but it's not something I've ever heard before.
I can tell you this.
Right now you have illegal aliens coming into our country, many from prisons and many from mental institutions, and they want to give them votes.
I don't think they should have votes.
They came into our country illegally and they're taking the vote away from all of the people in this room.
That have been here a long time, that have worked hard, that in many cases, and you'll see this happening, if I'm not elected, you're going to see it happening.
If I am, you're not going to have any problem.
But you're going to see it happening a long time.
You're going to see the people in this room and people outside of this room are going to be losing their jobs to people that have come into this country illegally.
harris faulkner
Mr. President, can we stay with just kind of the state of the race right now?
Because I felt like that vice president question, candidate question, was right in there with that.
So let's talk about J.D. Vance for a little bit.
He's had some stumbles out of the gate.
I don't know if you're hearing what we hear as reporters, but it's been a tough couple of weeks for him.
Why did you choose J.D. Vance?
donald j trump
Why didn't I?
harris faulkner
Why did you choose him?
And I'm having a hard time hearing, too.
I know everybody out there can, but it's hard to hear.
donald j trump
I'll tell you why.
I chose him because he's a very strong believer in work and the working man and woman, and especially the working man and woman who have been treated very unfairly, because you have many of them, many of them in this room.
But you have many of those people.
They were treated very unfairly.
They worked very hard, and they were treated unfairly.
He wrote the book that became a bestseller.
The movie became a smash hit.
He's a very smart guy.
Without the benefit of having a family that has contacts, like a father that was well-connected, he got into Yale Law School.
He graduated in two years from Ohio State, summa cum laude.
I mean, you take a look at, you know, his career has been an amazing career.
He started off at a level with a difficult family situation, very difficult, with the mother and the father and everything else.
He ends up going to Yale Law School and was one of the top students, became the head of the Law Journal.
I mean, that's an amazing thing.
He's a four-year.
He was in the military with great distinction for four years.
Got out, went into business, became successful in business.
Very successful in business, actually.
Did public offerings and other things.
And I, you know, I have to believe in that.
I mean, he's somebody that was born in a rough situation.
Most of the people know that situation because it was very well documented in his book.
And I have a lot of respect for somebody that can get into Yale and become one of the best students in Yale, that meets a young woman at Yale who was also outstanding and they get married, they have a beautiful family.
But he had a, you know, he's made himself.
An amazing life.
He then goes to Ohio, lives in Ohio, and he had my endorsement.
That helped.
But he wins the Senate.
He becomes a United States Senator.
So he's a United States Senator.
And so, Harris, like I respect you for your success, I respect people for their success.
harris faulkner
The reason I ask the question is because the last time you and I sat and talked was the day that you were shot.
We'd been together for much of that day.
You left to go to Butler, Pennsylvania, and we didn't know what was next.
And two days after that...
donald j trump
I cannot understand.
Your microphone is so lovely.
harris faulkner
I know.
It is really hard for me to understand you, too.
donald j trump
I can understand you perfectly.
harris faulkner
Because she's closer.
donald j trump
I can understand you.
unidentified
I'm happy to hear that, sir.
Really happy to hear that.
donald j trump
But I can't understand, Harris.
unidentified
I have a few more questions.
donald j trump
Because of the distance, and the mics are really in lousy shape, but I cannot understand what you're saying.
harris faulkner
So, what I wanted to say was, the last time we spoke, you said some words that were prophetic, because I asked you who you wanted to choose for vice president.
unidentified
Yeah.
harris faulkner
And you said, normally, it really wouldn't matter what they would, you know, you choose somebody that you think has a future, that sort of thing.
But you said these words three and a half hours before an attempted assassination on your life.
You told me that bad things happen, Harris.
And that's why this decision is important this time.
Bad things happen.
You said it twice.
When you look at J.D. Vance, is he ready on day one?
donald j trump
Does he what?
harris faulkner
Ready on day one.
If he has to be.
donald j trump
I've always had great respect for him.
And for the other candidates too.
But I will say this, and I think this is well documented.
Historically, the vice president in terms of the election does not have any impact.
I mean, virtually no impact.
You have two or three days where there's a lot of commotion as to who, like you're having it on the Democrat side, who it's going to be.
And then that dies down, and it's all about the presidential pick.
Virtually never has it mattered.
Maybe Lyndon Johnson mattered for different reasons of what we're talking about.
unidentified
Not for vote reasons, but for political reasons, other political reasons.
donald j trump
But historically, the choice of a vice president makes no difference.
You're voting for the president, and...
You can have a vice president who's outstanding in every way.
And I think J.D. is.
I think that all of them would have been.
But you're not voting that way.
You're voting for the president.
You're voting for me.
If you like me, I'm going to win.
If you don't like me, I'm not going to win.
unidentified
I'm going to get my J.D. Vance question in.
donald j trump
J.D. Vance?
unidentified
I'm going to get my J.D. Vance question in.
To your point and to Rachel's point, he, you know, has a lot of opinions about childless women like myself or divorce.
People like yourself.
Do you think...
Well, I mean, my point is here...
donald j trump
But at least it was said in a friendly manner.
unidentified
My point is...
Do you think the Republican Party is getting a little bit too judgy about people's lives when you think about abortion or when you think about what J.D. Vance is saying?
donald j trump
I don't think...
Look, I think that the...
The Democrat Party is really the one that has the problem.
I think they're radical on abortion because they are allowing abortion in the ninth month.
They're allowing the death of a baby after the baby is born, based on the governor of Virginia.
Based on the governor of Virginia, they're allowing the death of the baby after it's born.
They're allowing abortions in the eighth and ninth month of pregnancy.
And I think the Republican Party is actually much lesser.
I think I've made them much less radical, perhaps.
But the Republican Party, what we're doing is bringing it back to the states where everybody wanted it.
Democrats.
Republicans, liberals, conservatives, everybody wanted abortion brought back.
They didn't want Roe v.
Wade in the federal government.
They wanted it.
Everybody wanted it back.
unidentified
But the majority of Americans opposed Roe v.
Wade being overturned.
donald j trump
They don't know about this.
Right now, they're voting.
It brought it back to the states.
Now, I happen to believe in the three exceptions.
Ronald Reagan believed with rape, incest, life of the mother.
I do.
I think most people do.
I think most Republicans do also.
But if you take a look, right now they're doing, it's an amazing thing, out of the federal government, it's in states, and people are voting.
And I will say, Ohio is, let's call it a more liberal version, has been approved.
Kansas, the same thing.
A little bit surprising to a lot of people.
But the people are now voting.
And it's taking this issue that's been going on for 52 years and has torn our country apart, and it's giving it to the people to vote on.
And they're voting.
And many states have already voted.
Others are in the process of voting.
And it's bringing it back to the people and a vote of the people.
And it's not at all radical.
And again, you have to follow your heart.
I happen to believe in the three exceptions.
Most people believe in the three exceptions.
Most Republicans believe in the exceptions.
But they don't want to see an abortion in the ninth month or the eighth month.
Almost everybody agrees to that.
And they certainly don't want to see, in the case of the governor of Virginia, the former governor, I might add, who said, we set the baby aside and then we decide what to do.
Meaning, what do we do?
We execute the baby.
That's a radical, horrible position.
And some people...
Some people want that.
I don't want it.
Most people don't.
unidentified
Thank you.
Can I just pivot really quickly to another question about what upheld, Harris.
You're an active man.
We see you golfing all the time.
But if you win, you'll still be president at 82, which is older than Biden is right now.
donald j trump
But not mentally.
Look, mentally.
unidentified
Here's a question.
benny johnson
He's shot.
donald j trump
He's shot.
But most people, most people, I know many people in their 80s and their 90s that are in great shape, some of our greatest leaders.
You look at throughout the world, world history, the greatest leaders, some of the greatest leaders in the world were in their 80s.
unidentified
But here's the question.
Would you consider stepping down if you felt that your health was declining?
donald j trump
Oh, absolutely.
unidentified
And who would make it?
donald j trump
I think I'd know.
unidentified
How would you make that decision?
donald j trump
I think I'd know.
Look.
If I came onto a stage like this and I got treated so rudely as this woman treated me, and I'm fine with it because it does it.
She was very rude, sir.
Very rude.
That wasn't a question.
She didn't ask me a question.
She gave a statement.
That wasn't a question.
unidentified
I repeated your statement, sir, actually.
You said you would.
Oh, absolutely.
donald j trump
If I thought that I was failing in some way, I want people to be shocked.
I'll go a step further.
I want...
Anybody running for president to take an aptitude test, to take a cognitive test, I think it's a great idea.
And I took two of them and I aced them.
I took two of them, but let me ask.
I would like to have people running for president, and I don't mean because they're 75 or 85. I think anybody running, I'd like to do it.
People say it's not constitutional.
I would like to have something passed where you can do it.
I think we should know.
I mean, I've watched what's happened in the last couple of years under this gentleman, and our country is a mess.
We have inflation, we have the millions of people falling in, we have Afghanistan, which was the...
The worst, most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, what he has done to our country and her too, what they've done to our country, she has been a horrible vice president.
She's considered the worst vice president in the history of our country.
unidentified
Don't mean to interrupt you, but would you consider taking the cognitive test?
harris faulkner
I would love to do it.
unidentified
And make it public.
donald j trump
Well, I've already taken two of them, but I'll do it again.
harris faulkner
Mr. President, how do you intend to...
donald j trump
I suggested, Harris, that let's take one.
I said, Joe and I will go and take a cognitive test.
Now, I'd do it with her, too.
I would do it with her also.
You know what?
She failed her law exam.
She didn't pass her law exam, so maybe she wouldn't pass the cognitive test.
harris faulkner
Mr. President?
unidentified
Are you saying she wouldn't pass?
Just to be clear.
donald j trump
I'm just giving you the facts.
unidentified
To be clear, you don't think you're...
harris faulkner
How do you intend and what?
donald j trump
She didn't pass her bar exam.
And she didn't think she would pass it.
And she didn't think she was going to have her pass it.
And I don't know what happened.
Maybe she passed it.
unidentified
She did pass it.
donald j trump
There's a man over here.
unidentified
I think he must work for her.
Mr. President, I would love to ask you about January 6th.
You called yourself the candidate of law and order.
When Time Magazine asked you if you would consider pardoning all the rioters, you said, yes, absolutely.
You called them patriots.
140 police officers were assaulted that day.
Their injuries included broken bones.
At least one officer lost an eye.
One had two cracked ribs, two smashed spinal discs, another had a stroke.
Were the people who assaulted those 140 officers, including those I just mentioned, patriots, who deserve pardons?
donald j trump
Well, let me bring it back to modern day, like about five days ago.
We had an attack on the Capitol, a horrible attack on the Capitol.
You saw the people that were protesting and spraying these incredible monuments, bells, lions, all these magnificent limestone and granite.
With red paint, red spray paint, that will never actually come off, especially in the limestone.
I'm a builder, I know about this stuff.
You'll see it in a hundred years from now.
They viciously attacked our government.
They fought with police.
They fought with them much more openly than I saw on January 6th.
What's going to happen to those people?
What's going to happen to the people in Portland that destroyed that city?
unidentified
My question is on those rioters who assaulted officers.
donald j trump
Would you pardon those people?
Oh, absolutely, I would.
If they're innocent, I would pardon them.
unidentified
They've been convicted.
donald j trump
And by the way, the Supreme Court just under...
Well, they were convicted by a very, very tough system.
How come the people that tried to burn down Minneapolis, how come the people that...
Took over a large percentage of Seattle.
How come nothing happened to them?
How come the people...
unidentified
So we're talking about people that were seen beating officers with flag pulls, dragging them down the stairs.
They're on video.
Have you seen that video, sir?
You would pardon those rioters?
donald j trump
They shot a young lady in the face who was...
Protesting.
They shot her in the face.
You know, nobody died that day.
You do know that.
But people died in Seattle.
Nobody died, but people died in Minneapolis.
You know people died in Minneapolis.
And nothing happens.
And nobody ever talks and nothing happens to those people.
But you went after the J6 people with a vengeance.
And I'll tell you what.
What about the cops that were...
And I'm all for the police, as you know.
But what about the police that are ushering everybody into the Capitol?
Go in, go in, go in.
What about that?
Look, nothing is perfect in life.
But you have people from Minneapolis, you have people just from five days ago in Washington, D.C. They were having fistfights and fighting with the police.
They were spraying and destroyed.
They were desecrating our monuments in Washington, D.C. D.C. five days ago, and nothing happened to them.
And you can't have two systems of justice.
That's why they went after me as a political opponent, because they felt they couldn't win without doing that.
And we're going to win our cases, and we're going to be vindicated.
But I have to spend a lot of time on that and money.
That's what they want.
After the election, they won't care.
Although in my case, I think they probably will, because the hatred is pretty deep.
But I'll tell you, they went after me as a political opponent.
That's never happened in our country before, and it's such a terrible, terrible precedent.
harris faulkner
What do you do on day one if you win?
What's your first thing?
donald j trump
What do I do?
I close the border.
I do two things, because I can do a lot of things simultaneously.
I close the border.
We don't want people coming.
We want people to come in, Harris, but they have to be vetted.
They have to be checked.
They have to come in legally.
I want people to come into our country, but they have to be vetted.
They have to be checked.
So when you say, what do I do?
That, and I drill, baby, drill.
I bring energy way down.
I bring interest rates down.
I bring inflation way down.
So people can buy bacon again.
So people can buy a ham sandwich again.
So that people can go to a restaurant and afford it.
Because right now, people can't buy food.
Your grocery bills are up 40, 50, 60 percent.
Right?
She's agreeing to me.
Oh, she's agreeing.
Thank you.
I like you very much.
unidentified
Mr. President, I think we are...
donald j trump
But it's true.
Your grocery bills are up.
And then they're mandating that you buy an all-electric car.
You know, Elon Musk endorsed me.
And he's a friend of mine.
He's a good guy.
He's a smart guy.
But I'm against everybody having an electric car.
Okay?
I'm very much against that.
You have to be able to, if you want a hybrid or if you want a gasoline-propelled car.
But, you know, we have more liquid gold, gasoline, oil.
Under our feet than any other country, more than Saudi Arabia, more than Russia, more than any other country.
I want to use it.
I want to use what we have.
I want to bring down prices, bring down costs, and I also have to stop the invasion.
And remember, they're taking your jobs.
These people coming in are taking your jobs.
harris faulkner
Project 2025.
unidentified
I think we have to leave it there by the Trump team.
All right.
So leave it.
That is the last word.
Thank you so much, Mr. Trump, for coming today and joining us.
donald j trump
Well, thank you very much.
unidentified
Thank you.
donald j trump
Thank you, everybody, very much.
Great honor.
unidentified
Thank you, Mr. Cohen.
Hello, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
I got a little known fact for you that most people don't know, but I lived in this city for three years.
It's good to be back, folks.
It's good to be back.
I've had the privilege, as you all know, of representing the greatest president in the history of the United States.
And now I am so honored to join the campaign to represent the 47th president of the United States.
Thank you.
As many of you know, I have been fighting right next to the president in the greatest fight.
For the American Constitution, for the American policies, and to keep politics out of our courtrooms.
Now we are dealing with a Democrat Party that literally can't figure out who the hell they're going to put up against my guy, President Trump.
So who do they pick?
Kamala.
Yeah, boo.
But I'm so excited because when I spoke at the RNC, I didn't know I know she was the one we were going after, but now I do.
And I'm going to speak to you, Ms. Harris.
I am a strong woman, a mom, a lawyer, and an American.
And unlike you, Kamala, I know who my roots are.
I know where I come from.
And I don't play around with the Constitution.
Thank you.
And I've got some news for you.
They have tried to take down President Trump.
And like I've been saying for three years, you can keep trying, but you will not succeed.
We will take down the corrupt DAs, the corrupt AGs, and I don't care how much money you've got behind you.
The truth comes out and President Trump has been and is innocent of any crime other than loving this country.
Now let me tell you what, Kamala.
You are committing a crime.
Because the only co-conspirator I know of the Biden The Harris administration is you.
And you have lied to us about President Biden for the last three and a half years.
just like in our courts and just like Jack Smith, Letitia Dames and DA Bragg the truth always comes out.
So let me just tell you America her policies are the same ones We've been living for three and a half years, so don't get it twisted.
They don't work.
She is worse, worse than a socialist.
She is worse than Bernie Sanders.
And guess what, Kamala?
you're gonna lose just like he did.
Ladies and gentlemen, She was proud to say that she raised money when the radical liberals pulled out and took out their own man, Sleepy Joe, that can't spell Bob backwards.
But guess what?
This is a room full of patriots.
And if everybody pulls out $1 and donates to DonaldJTrump.com We were gonna give them a run for their money because our policies are right.
We are on the right side of America, and we love this country and our children.
I am so honored to be back in Pennsylvania.
Thank you everybody.
God bless America.
God bless President Trump.
Thank you.
benny johnson
Okay, so, all right, here we go.
So we have...
Alina Haber speaking at the event.
We have the event here.
This is footage from Donald Trump's campaign manager of the event here in Pennsylvania as we await President Trump.
We have President Trump ready to come out live.
He is on the ground.
He is in the arena.
And so we await this moment.
We played you the incredible Donald Trump.
unidentified
Interview with the National Association of Black Journalists.
benny johnson
What I found remarkable about that clip, as we sort of remain here in a holding pattern Donald Trump was set to speak at 6 p.m. and now it is 6.27 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, so we expect the president at any minute.
What was remarkable about that Donald Trump commentary...
With the ABC News reporter was that he was able to flip the entire room against her.
Now, Donald Trump is in Chicago with the National Association of Black Journalists, so presumably he's not the most popular guy.
But if you watched through that interview, which I'm so glad we got a chance to play live, you note that he was able to turn the room.
Speaking of turning the room, ladies and gentlemen, here's another view of what awaits President Trump in Pennsylvania.
Not too far down the road from where President Trump took a bullet.
Breaking news on that also today.
Why not go there too?
Donald Trump was able to flip the entire room.
What alpha energy?
What MAGA lion energy?
Talk about walking into the arena, talking about walking into the proverbial lion's den, and winning.
And Donald Trump did win.
You can tell because they're so angry about everything that he said.
They're so angry.
Ladies and gentlemen, again, we are awaiting President Trump in Pennsylvania.
This is a shot of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania from Donald Trump's rally.
This was a shot earlier today.
Of course, people lining up out the door and around the block.
I can't wait to get back to a MAGA rally.
We've gone to a couple as a show, but I can't wait to get back.
They're just such beautiful events.
And there are events where you really feel like you're part of something and that you're winning.
And this was the RNC for us.
And this is every time we're at a MAGA rally.
I want to get back out to a MAGA rally.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen.
So, President Trump today, since we're talking about Pennsylvania, and since we're talking about Butler, Pennsylvania, where President Trump took a bullet for the movement, for the nation, for what he believes in, for free speech, of course, this is something that is heroic.
Powerful for President Trump to do.
But why did it happen?
Something that shouldn't have happened, obviously.
Not the best result.
A bullet flying through the President's ear and blowing off a part of his head.
So what does...
Because the ear is connected to the head, right?
Could have very easily been a shot straight through the neck or the skull or the chest.
Could have easily killed the President.
So the line that we have...
The line has always been, we can't see the guy.
And yet, lo and behold...
Here, ladies and gentlemen, and boys, if we could load this clip up so that it's a play, so that we have a nice play beside here for everyone to see, because then it's a little small on screen.
This is the breaking news from today.
Again, if you're just joining us, we are in a holding pattern at 6.30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
This is the time zone that President Trump is speaking in.
Is that correct, ALX?
Is that correct?
Forgive me.
I know that this is right along the time zone.
Okay, I know that Pennsylvania, Ohio, Ohio, there's like two different time zones.
So I know it's a little trivia.
Is Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in Eastern Standard Time?
Ladies and gentlemen, this is brand new video from today.
Let's pop it up on screen.
Where you are able to see the assassin, the psychotic shooter.
We say psychotic because that's what the snipers who are on site described to us as.
Acting erratic, looking like Antifa, like acting crazy.
You can see it here, ladies and gentlemen, as he traverses the rooftop.
Or, somebody else, I mean, explain to us, if this is him, explain to us that this is him.
Is this him traversing the rooftop?
Or is there a second shooter?
Or did he have somebody else?
Was it an inside job?
So here he is, once again, ladies and gentlemen, wandering the rooftop in full view of a dude just with a cell phone camera.
Like an old Android camera.
It's not a particularly nice camera, even.
But there you can see him, wandering the roof line, and the Secret Service did nothing.
Given the preponderance of evidence, it is now, like, obvious and clear.
To anybody that the demonstrable evidence points to failures that add up to malevolence, alright?
Remember, gross incompetence is indistinguishable from malevolence.
If you have enough dumb people doing enough dumb things, then that just means you want people to get hurt, you want a system to be destroyed, you want companies to be destroyed, you want bad things to happen.
And so, ladies and gentlemen, They lied.
Secret Service lied.
Why would they lie about this?
People who lie typically don't do it for the fun of it.
That's what Joe Biden you're talking about.
Joe Biden makes up all these stories about his uncle being eaten by cannibals or whatever.
You don't even understand why he would do such a thing.
But most people lie because they've been caught or because they're trying to cover up something.
Again, speaking of covering things, ladies and gentlemen, we are live for President Trump's speech back in Pennsylvania.
First time since the assassination attempt on his life.
Why would you do this?
Secret Service lies that we have now caught.
There are five.
One.
Secret Service says it was a sloped roof.
It's not a sloped roof.
I stood on it myself.
I have pushed, like, somebody in a wheelchair could have gotten up on that roof and rolled up the roof under their own power.
I know this.
Okay?
Two.
The Secret Service said that the sniper, they couldn't see the guy because he was prone, he was laying prone, and he was in very much a position where you wouldn't have been able to see him as he took the shots on President Trump.
That is a lie.
You can see his entire body and his entire torso right freaking there.
That is a demonstrable, empirical lie.
The Secret Service said that Donald Trump hasn't asked for more resources.
God help President Trump today.
Inside of the Harrisburg rally.
Even though it's an indoor building, according to our reports, there hasn't been any more security added to President Trump.
And things haven't gotten better.
And also, ladies and gentlemen, Secret Service has lied about not knowing where the counter-sniper teams were.
We know this because we've stood inside the buildings, we've done the reporting, and the counter-sniper teams were given the order to stand down.
The sniper team that would have had a direct shot on Crooks, they weren't there.
They abandoned Post.
Who gave the order to abandon Post?
Crooks, this was at 6.08 p.m.
Donald Trump was shot at 6.11.
So this was three minutes before Donald Trump was shot.
Three whole minutes, Crooks, inside of what we can just call the assassin's nest or the sniper nest, Crooks had three minutes of just wandering around.
Clomping around.
Not a particularly athletic guy.
Crooks is just wandering around on the rooftop.
Nope.
There is no explanation for that.
The gross negligence has absolutely tipped over into malevolence here.
So this is the breaking news that happened after we were done with our morning show this morning.
And yeah, I mean, It deserves an enormous amount of looking into.
It deserves an enormous amount of criminal investigations with criminal consequences.
I mean, you know, a man is dead.
Others are critically injured.
And the Secret Service has now lied to us five times.
Do you feel safe?
Yeah.
Do you feel safe?
Ladies and gentlemen, we have President Trump, a rival, a rival in Pennsylvania.
Ladies and gentlemen, we also have something pretty cool.
This is Donald Trump arriving.
Oh, I just saw it.
Where are the photos of the guys at the airport with their sign?
Get that for me.
Get that for me, boys.
The guys at the airport had a giant Trump sign.
I think they were either the ground crew...
They were either the ground crew or military dudes.
Yeah, where are they?
Right here?
Okay, there we go.
This is the campaign heading into the rally.
Gotten luck here.
Is this the one we're looking for?
This is the Kamala Harris sign.
Kamala Harris becomes the first Indian American U.S. Senator.
This is, of course, what all the headlines are about and what we expect to hear Donald Trump talking about at the rally.
There we go.
Okay, am I getting the wrong one?
There we go.
And here we go.
This was the grounds crew waiting for Trump at the airport.
So, ladies and gentlemen, again, we await...
But we await President Trump and the chat.
We'll hop in the chat and we'll have a rowdy time tonight.
Hey, Alexis, President Trump's in the building.
Yes?
Because, you know, these kind of things are important to keep straight.
I mean, if he was driving towards the building, then we definitely have President Trump in the building.
They move him pretty quickly and pretty swiftly around.
So here we have, again, a holding pattern for President Trump.
He made a lot of news, a lot of news in Chicago when he talked about Kamala Harris and Kamala Harris's heritage and how the media has, it's funny how they talk to journalists, how the media themselves has described Kamala Harris's heritage.
Kamala Harris for many, many years.
I talked about being the first, and you can see it here in the headlines, but I can also show you headlines from the Associated Press.
I can show you headlines from local papers talking about being the first Indian American U.S. Senator.
This was the line that was used, and that was given, and that was celebrated and promoted.
And what Donald Trump is saying is that there has been a tone change and a focus change.
Even the New York Times said this in a headline like a week ago.
What I would be very, very interested in seeing is Vivek Ranswamy's commentary on this.
Vivek Ranswamy was on Fox News moments ago and had his own comments about this and called it insulting to Indian Americans in America that Kamala Harris has decided to shrug off that part of her heritage.
This is Vivek Ranswamy's interview on Fox again as we await President Trump's arrival in Butler.
I'm sorry.
In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Up the road from Butler, Pennsylvania.
Same side of the state, though.
Same side of the state.
President Trump is in the building, ladies and gentlemen.
We expect him at any time.
Know that, of course, we will flip the president right on when he takes the stage.
Here we go.
martha maccallum
With stars like Jeff Bridges and top Democrats like Pete Buttigieg, cabinet member, and they've regained their access now.
They were pushed off of X, briefly suspended after raking in more than $4 million for the VP's campaign and a Zoom call on Monday night in which some members presented an alternative to MAGA supporting men.
Watch.
unidentified
The reason that we are doing this is because We've just, you know, the left that has been ceding white men to the MAGA right for way, way too long.
We know that the silent majority of white men aren't actually MAGA supporters.
Masculinity as a trope has been co-opted by the MAGA right into something that feeds into and exacerbates the loneliness epidemic.
martha maccallum
Fascinating.
Okay, former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy joins me now, and I want to get his thoughts on this and also some of what we heard at the NABJ in just a moment.
But, you know, your reaction to this white dudes for Harris and how they're trying to be a counter for what they say was this, you know, sort of masculine approach from the RNC and the way they discuss MAGA dudes.
vivek ramaswamy
Well, the reality is this is a party, Martha, that is with identity politics.
I think it's disgusting and anti-American.
But the idea of segregating different groups based on your race or your ethnicity or your gender, I just think is un-American at its core.
It is consistent with the basis for selecting Kamala Harris.
Remember, many of the prominent Democrats at the time she was selected as the vice president for Joe Biden specifically referenced her own race and gender, which I think made no sense at the time.
But I will give them points for consistency.
Say one thing, this is a party obsessed with identity politics, and they're certainly running their campaign accordingly, even though I think it's going to backfire in the end.
martha maccallum
Yeah, you know what?
I think you make a great point, because I looked back at articles from 2020, and President Biden said, you know, then candidate, he said that he was looking at like 10 women for vice president, and he said four of those women are black women.
And that was given, you know, sort of a lot of attention as a good thing.
And I couldn't help but think, you know, if you're in that subset and you're a woman, you're thinking, OK, so now he's already only considering me because I'm a woman instead of letting me run against everybody in the entire pool.
And if you're a black woman, he's making that group even smaller that you're competing against.
And I think that a lot of people agree with you on that, that that diminishes being chosen in that employment contest.
vivek ramaswamy
I think it does, absolutely.
And I think it's denigrating, frankly, to women and to black Americans across this country to suggest that you need a special type of quota system.
I remember watching those Democratic primaries.
These are exact quotes from other prominent Democrats, senators and others, who famously said, it's time for a woman of color on that ticket.
I don't think the race or gender of a person should matter one way or another.
And I do think, Marcia, this is also a moment for us to go to actually standing for our own values as a party.
I do believe that we need a bit of a reset in this campaign.
If we're being honest and being clear-eyed, I think the reality is Kamala's new de facto nomination, coronation, whatever you want to call it, after the Republican convention was a bit of a shock that caught a lot of Republicans by blindside.
And the reality is we now have to take a big step back and say, we're going to offer our own vision of what we stand for.
I think the attacks on Kamala alone are not going to be enough.
We're already seeing that over the last week.
I think we have to stand for our own alternative vision that we believe in merit.
The reason that we're critical of identity politics isn't because we're against the Democrats.
It's because we stand for meritocracy, and that's part of who we are as Americans.
And so as much as I'm critical of the Democrats, I also think now is a moment for a wake-up call on our own side.
We need to use this as a chance to reset and level set and focus on our own vision for the future of this country.
And the more we do that, the more successful we're going to be.
Frankly, the less we do it, the more risk I do see heading into November.
martha maccallum
All right, let me ask you a little bit about this rather heated National Association of Black Journalists interview with former President Trump and current GOP candidate, because he's going to get a lot of attention for saying this, and I want to hear what you think about it.
He basically—and I know you didn't get a chance to watch the whole thing, so I—okay, let's play the sound, and then we'll get your reaction.
donald j trump
She was always of Indian heritage and she was only promoting Indian heritage.
I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black.
So I don't know.
Is she Indian or is she black?
martha maccallum
She is always identified as a black.
I respect either one.
donald j trump
I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't.
martha maccallum
All right.
Vivek, I want to give you a chance to react to that.
No doubt it's going to get.
vivek ramaswamy
Yeah, so look, on a very personal level, my parents were immigrants to this country, legal immigrants from southern India, very same part of India that her mother also immigrated from.
I think it's a hard fact, Martha, it's just a fact, whether you like it or not, that many Indian Americans in the United States are indeed somewhat offended by the way Kamala has suddenly cast aside the Indian American side of her identity.
She leaned into it when she ran for office in California, big Asian American and Indian American population.
So she wore that when it was convenient.
She's wearing a different identity now when it's politically convenient on a national stage.
Personally, I don't think we should be relying on these ethnic identities at all.
We're actually American.
And the problem is when you're Kamala Harris and you actually do lean into your identity politics, then you open the door to that type of criticism.
But if you ask me, that shouldn't be how this election is decided one way or another.
It should be decided on our own identity as Americans and what our vision is for the future of the country.
And the number one thing missing in Kamala Harris' candidacy is that she lacks that vision for the country.
That's what we've got to focus on.
martha maccallum
Okay.
Very interesting to hear from you and to hear your call for a reset in your party.
donald j trump
Such a horrible manner, the first question.
You don't even say, hello, how are you?
unidentified
Do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris is only on the ticket because she is a black woman?
donald j trump
She was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden she made a turn, and she went, she became a black person.
unidentified
Just to be clear, sir, do you believe that she is a black woman?
donald j trump
I think somebody should look into that, too, when you ask, continue in a very hostile, nasty tone.
unidentified
Sir, if you don't mind, I'd love to, we have you for a limited time, sir.
I'd love to move on to different topics if we can.
donald j trump
Excuse me, you're the one that held me up for 35 minutes, just so you understand.
martha maccallum
Okay, former President Trump taking questions at the National Association of Black Journalists just a short time ago.
Harris Faulkner was on the stage.
She was co-moderating that Q&A in Chicago.
She, of course, is the anchor of the Faulkner Focus and the co-anchor of Outnumbered.
Harris, welcome.
It was a heated environment from the get-go up there.
Give us your take on what happened from the very beginning and what we couldn't see behind the scenes.
harris faulkner
Well, let me start there, because I think that's really important.
What the nation has seen is this incredible buildup with journalists here reportedly upset because Donald Trump was coming.
Some of them.
And some of them we really hadn't heard from.
So what I loved about what you couldn't see today was how much of that audience was enjoying the moment of hearing from a candidate that they might not always agree with.
And that is the whole point.
That is the growth of journalism, to be able to listen and question those things that you may not know about because you don't often talk to that person or those people.
That was the goal here.
So for all of that pushback, young journalists that I'm talking to after the event are saying, We're glad he's here.
And look, you're always going to have a situation like we had today.
It was very hard to hear on that dais because of the way the microphones were.
They had a lot of technical issues going into this to make this happen.
So the delay that there was out to the public that the former president was talking about had a lot to do with that.
Now, it did get a little chippy because when a politician is interviewed, sometimes, Martha, they don't always answer the question that you ask.
So the re-asks in this environment were very...
And so we got into some good topics, you know, that are important, not just to black communities.
And I say that plural because we're not all the same.
We don't think the same.
We vote different, that whole thing.
And I love that representation in the room, too.
Had a lot of young people in the audience today who want to be in the position that we three journalists were in, and that is interviewing the newsmakers.
And we got that.
Now, from Donald Trump, we got a lot of talk about the border.
And look.
If she becomes the Democratic presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, that is an issue that they will continue to hit her heart on, Republicans in general, and particularly this former president.
I know she's trying to turn the tables and make it about the legislation that has not passed.
Blaming Republicans for that.
But what about the porous border?
And that's where he went.
What's interesting is we now know she's going to do this particular venue, the National Association of Black Journalists.
Going into today, that was not the case.
It'll be remote.
The president has said he will debate her if she becomes the nominee.
So you have these two people now, center stage.
It's interesting to get one of them on that dais.
martha maccallum
Indeed, it is.
I want to play a little bit, Harris, a little montage of some of what happened up there and get your reaction and what the reaction of the crowd was, because it's a great point.
At times it sounded like they were kind of cheering him on, and then at other times it sounded like they were surprised by what he was saying.
So let's play this and get your thoughts on it.
donald j trump
I want people to come into our company, but they have to be vetted, they have to be checked.
So when you say, what do I do?
That, and I drill, baby, drill.
I bring energy way down.
I bring interest rates down.
I bring inflation way down.
So people can buy bacon again.
So people can buy a ham sandwich again.
So that people can go to a restaurant and afford it.
I understand.
I have too much respect for you to be late.
They couldn't get their equipment working or something was wrong.
unidentified
I think it's a very nasty question.
martha maccallum
I have answered the question.
donald j trump
I have been the best president.
martha maccallum
All right, there's a bunch there, Harris, because we butted two sound bites together.
But let's start with the second one first, the Abraham Lincoln comment.
And we also played earlier his questions about whether or not Kamala Harris is Indian or black.
Your thoughts on all of that?
harris faulkner
All right, let's start with the order that you gave me.
You know, just in terms of the former president answering questions, Martha, you and I have both interviewed him.
It's an interesting journey that you go on, but you've got to keep pressing.
And there was a little bit of contention on the dais about whether or not he could hear, and when he could hear, would he answer the question.
I do feel like when it comes to...
The issues that he was talking about, what the question was that I had asked him was, with black communities feeling the pressure of high pricing now, what policy do you have that's going to go toward them particularly?
You're here.
You've come here.
What's your message for black people who are young and in the audience and feeling this economy?
So you heard a little bit of that in his first answer in that.
And then with regard to what you were saying before, in terms of the audience shouting back and having some reaction to him, it was chippy at times, but for the most part they were laughing and they were getting kind of what they didn't have before this.
And that was a conduit to a man that they see a lot on TV but don't know a lot about his policies.
Kamala Harris?
And President Trump, we're going to be an interesting debate if and when that should happen.
martha maccallum
So, you know, talk to me a little bit about his responses on J.D. Vance, because he was defending his vice presidential pick out there today.
And one of the questioners talked about, she said, I'm a single mom.
I don't have children, I think she said.
And he was pushing back.
She was pushing back on the question of J.D. Vance and whether or not the president is happy with that pick.
Your thoughts on how that played out, Harris?
harris faulkner
Yeah, and I also followed up with that with we're hearing it.
No doubt you are, Mr. President.
There's a lot of chatter around the early struggles and stumbles of J.D. Vance right out the gate.
Why did you pick him?
And to answer you on both those counts, whether it be, you know, about the women's statements, some of them that J.D. Vance has had, or just some of the other stumbles that he's got out, you know, had out of the gate.
Diet Mountain Dew, racist.
I know it was a joke.
People are still kind of like, well, what was the joke?
So he said he chose him because he thinks that, you know, where he is as a young man who had come from basically...
Tough times and made his way through Ivy League school, the U.S. Marines, so on and so forth.
He defended him, but we each hit him in different ways on why J.D. Vance.
And finally, I hit him, Martha, with asking him, well, look, two weeks ago, right before the assassination attempt on his life, a few hours before that, we were sitting down at Mar-a-Lago, and I said, why would you choose him when the last thing you said to me before that event, quite prophetically, I might add, Is that something bad could happen, so it matters who you choose.
I said, "Is J.D. Vance ready on day one?" He did not answer that question.
He answered it around it, but he did not answer my question.
martha maccallum
Well, I know he was having a little bit of trouble hearing you at some points up there, and that was a bit of a challenge as well.
Yeah.
Harris, thank you very much.
Yeah, fascinating conversation and great to have you on right after to discuss your experience up there and what it was like.
And we look forward to seeing Kamala Harris, the vice president's Zoom conversation with the same group.
So we'll be watching.
Harris, thank you very much.
harris faulkner
All right.
Thanks.
unidentified
Hey, guys.
alex alx lorusso
We're still waiting on President Trump to come out in his rally in Pennsylvania.
But if we want to throw up that stream, we can, just so we can give a visual of the crowd.
Benny had to take a personal call, so me and Robbie are taking over.
So yeah, that's the visual right there.
The camera's just panned where Trump's going to come out and enter.
This will be the first time he's back in Pennsylvania since the assassination attempt.
And since then, we've had Joe Biden drop out of the race.
So what our team did in Washington, D.C. is...
Asked voters what they think of Kamala Harris taking over for Joe Biden.
So we're going to, while we're waiting for President Trump, we're going to play a little bit of that for you guys.
You won't believe it.

I f***ing love Kamala Harris.
I was reading this article and it was about her past in California and stuff as an attorney general.
Stop right there It touched my heart.
Damn.
It touched my heart a lot.
Personally, I don't agree with a lot of things she does.
I don't agree with a lot of things Biden does.
So for me, it's a no.

Nah.
Nah for me.
I'm a Democrat now.

unidentified
For right now, if we don't want to be absolutely f***ed, we got to vote Kamala.

I'm not going to lie, I did not know anything about Kamala Harris until now.
donald j trump
We have people that are stupid.
unidentified
I love Kamala.
I think that she will do great things.
I feel like she's a strong, young...
We need that right now in the world.
benny johnson

kamala harris
You do what you gotta do.
benny johnson
She's been in office for four years as Joe Biden's vice president.
What is your favorite accomplishment in the last four years?
unidentified
Probably the amount of emphasis that they put on the black community.
I feel like we need a lot of that right now.
And we don't really get that shine a lot.
kamala harris
Well, I think culture is...
It is a reflection of our moment and our time, right?
unidentified
I don't know yet, but I gotta see how she's work.
Do it first.
Did you do okay?
What's your favorite accomplishment?
Actually, I go to Spelman College, which is an HBCU in Atlanta.
She actually came to our college and was able to talk to young girls like me just about what it is to be In the White House and also looking like us, being a black woman, so, yeah.
I don't even know what matters.
I don't even know what she did, for real, for real.
I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit clueless until like a week ago.
kamala harris
This population, 18 through 24, they are stupid.
benny johnson
What's your favorite accomplishment, Kamala Harris?
unidentified
By the president's side, I ain't an assistant now.

Wrong.
kamala harris
We've been to the border.
unidentified
You haven't been to the border.
kamala harris
And I haven't been to Europe.

unidentified
Kamala Harris might be a placeholder or considered a placeholder in this economy and stuff like that, but, I mean, she's a great candidate compared to Trump.
donald j trump
She's so bad.
She's so pathetic.
She's just so f***ing bad.
unidentified
Kamala Harris?
benny johnson
Yeah.
unidentified
Hey, it's about time a black woman get in the office.
I just hope they give her extra protection.
My favorite accomplishment, Kamala Harris.
I ain't really seeing nothing she's done.
So, I mean, I hope she accomplishes some big things since she get in office.
But I really ain't really hearing nothing about what she's done.
I'm just giving her the benefit of the doubt.
kamala harris
Can I get a witness?
benny johnson
Kamala Harris or Trump?
unidentified
Cool.
donald j trump
Oh, look at my African-American over here.

She's down with Biden.
I think he has old L-timers.
Was it L-timers?
Yeah, so that's pretty much it about that.
benny johnson
She covered up Biden?
Yeah.
joe biden
I did not oppose busing in America.
What I opposed is busing ordered by the Department of Education.
That's what I opposed.
unidentified
Making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the...
With the COVID, excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with, look.
I'm not going to engage in that hypothetical because Joe Biden is very much alive.
Why the **** you lying?
Why you always lying?
benny johnson
Kamala Harris, sir, what do you think?
unidentified
Yeah, I'm hearing a lot of Trump today.
Black men typically are with Donald Trump.
Black women are typically with Kamala Harris.
benny johnson
Why is that?
unidentified
Because Kamala Harris is part of the Biden administration.
They think they can go to a church, kiss a black baby.
alex alx lorusso
Alright guys, Donald Trump is now coming out, so we will now go straight to the Trump rally.
unidentified
Enjoy.
Wow, wow.
Wow.
donald j trump
Well, thank you very much, everybody.
It's a great crowd.
A lot of people, over 20,000 people couldn't get in, and we didn't need anybody to get the people here.
We didn't need a star.
We didn't need a star.
unidentified
So...
donald j trump
We didn't need some entertainer to fill it up.
And then she goes on last night.
In about six minutes, everyone was leaving.
They were pouring out.
We don't need that.
We've got our star.
You know who the star is?
All of you people are the star.
You're the star.
And I mean that.
Hello, Harrisburg.
Be back in this beautiful Commonwealth with thousands of proud, hardworking American patriots.
Thank you very much.
As you know, this is my first return to Pennsylvania since our rally in Butler.
We're going back to Butler, too, by the way.
unidentified
Thank you.
Thank you.
donald j trump
People said to me, are you serious?
I said, I'm serious.
We're going back.
It's a great place.
18 days ago where we had a very terrible day.
We had a rough day, I will tell you, by all accounts.
I should not be with you today.
I shouldn't be with you.
But I am.
I want to thank all of the people of Pennsylvania for their extraordinary love and support.
It is incredible.
We're going to win this thing so big.
We're going to win it big, including everyone at...
Butler Memorial Hospital, they were fantastic.
unidentified
Wow.
Wow.
They saw some pretty bad things.
donald j trump
Thank you.
unidentified
Thank you very much.
donald j trump
No, they did an amazing job.
And we have, by the way, we have the doctor.
One of the great doctors was there.
He worked on Cory, actually.
Cory had a hard time.
unidentified
Cory is special.
donald j trump
Thank you, doctor.
Appreciate it very much.
Great doctors.
Great doctors.
The job they did on David Dutch and James Copenhaver was just incredible.
And as you know, they brought them.
Back from very, very seriously wounded.
unidentified
They were going to be maybe not with us.
donald j trump
It was a group of us.
unidentified
But they are doing really well now.
donald j trump
They're making it.
They're going to be fine.
Not going to be perfect, maybe.
But who is?
Who is?
As we get older, who is perfect?
But the doctors were so great.
They had two great doctors also.
Most of all, we lift the...
Memory, our memory to the brave firefighter who was so cruelly taken from us, Cory Comparator.
unidentified
Cory Comparator.
A very brave guy, loved by his family and his friends.
donald j trump
He was really loved.
In his last act on this earth, Cory threw himself over his wife and daughters and died, shielding them from the bullets of a very disturbed guy.
Corey is a hero to all of us, to all of us.
unidentified
Thank you.
donald j trump
I want to thank a friend of mine, too.
I'm not going to mention his name because he's pretty well known.
And he came up to me.
He said...
Would it be okay if I presented Corey's wife and family with a check?
And I said, yeah, it would be okay with me.
It's certainly okay.
And he handed me a check for $1 million.
unidentified
$1 million.
Think of that.
donald j trump
Thank you, Dan.
So he was very generous.
In addition, we have a GoFundMe that's really been great.
I think we're at $6 million mark for the...
The three of them plus some other people.
unidentified
So...
But you know what?
Corey's wife said, I'd rather have my husband.
donald j trump
Isn't that good?
I know a lot of wives that would not say that.
I'm sorry.
They would not say that.
But no, it's a great family.
He was a great man.
He was a brave man.
He saw what was happening and he jumped on top and he got hit.
But we will carry Corey's spirit of love and devotion and patriotism with us for all time, and we will never forget Corey or his beautiful family.
And maybe let's have a brief moment of silence in memory of Corey, great Pennsylvanian.
unidentified
Thank you.
donald j trump
Thank you very much.
Thank you, everybody.
unidentified
Beautiful.
Beautiful.
donald j trump
That is the most quiet I have ever heard in an arena.
I have never heard.
You could hear a pin drop.
No, it's amazing.
It's a beautiful thing.
In the wake of this heinous attack, we gather tonight more determined than ever.
Our resolve is unbroken.
And our will is undeterred.
Nothing will stop us on our mission to make America great again.
Nothing's going to stop us.
Our country is doing badly.
Front Row Joe's over here.
Front Row Joe's, look at them.
they've been to 212 events You know, I'm...
I'm pretty sure we have their vote.
I'm not sure.
You can never be sure of anything.
You're voting for Trump.
Okay.
Front row Joes.
They love us and we love them.
Thank you very much.
Thanks, everybody.
But as we're fighting to bring back the American dream for you and your family, the radical left Democrat Party bosses have installed a puppet candidate to fight only for themselves.
Kamala Harris got zero votes.
unidentified
*Pews* Thank you.
donald j trump
She's totally scripted, owned and controlled by the donors and the power brokers who created her campaign and who rip off our government and make billions and billions of dollars.
They want to call them up and they want to deal with her.
And I didn't deal like that.
I never dealt like that.
I didn't need the money.
I said, no, I don't want to do that.
I told a lot of guys that I like and some guys that I don't like, but very rich people, I just can't do that.
I can't do it.
They want to do the telephone systems.
They want to do lots of little things like that.
We'd like to take over the telephone system of the United States.
I'm sorry.
I can't do that.
But unlike her, I cannot be bought and I cannot be controlled.
I have no interest in that.
My only loyalty is to you, the people.
And you know that.
unidentified
I could have had such a nice, easy life.
donald j trump
I could be at a nice place right now, relaxing, watching the waves break in, but I'd rather be right here in Harrisburg with you.
People that built our country.
You're the people that built our country.
I mean, some people don't like saying that, but you are indeed the people that built the country.
No matter where we go, we have the most incredible people after.
Lying to the country for years about Joe Biden's mental and physical condition.
Kamala is now being given a personality makeover.
Don't forget, four weeks ago, she was like considered the worst.
Not smart.
Terrible.
The worst vice president in history.
He's the worst president we've ever had.
But they were considered terrible.
And all of a sudden, she's the new Margaret Thatcher.
That happened, right?
The great Margaret Thatcher.
No, I don't think so.
But you're going to learn little things like defund the police.
That doesn't work, does it?
You're going to learn.
Because everything about Kamala Harris rollout, it's phony and it's fake.
Did you see when President Obama and Michelle called?
Did you see?
unidentified
Hello?
Hello?
donald j trump
Yes.
Yes.
Who is this?
Oh, this is...
Michelle and Barack.
Oh, oh.
So surprised to hear.
They got four cameras in front.
unidentified
Oh!
donald j trump
I'm so surprised.
It's on speakerphone.
Listen, we just want to congratulate you on destroying Joe Biden.
I mean, on winning the...
Hey, is Joe Biden gonna...
Was that the phoniest phone call you've ever seen?
How do you think, Dan?
What do you think?
Dan Muser, great congressman.
What do you think?
Was that a phony phone call?
You wouldn't do it.
You wouldn't get away.
In your district, you wouldn't get away with it, would you?
But she's a defund the police radical trying to pass herself off as a tough on crime prosecutor.
She wasn't tough on crime.
She's only tough on guys like me because they want to go after their political opponents.
And we won the big case in Florida.
Did you see?
We won it.
And he...
And he had a similar case, but it was much worse, and he didn't have the Presidential Records Act.
He had a similar case, and you know, the special counsel, which is basically special prosecutor, adjudged him to be essentially mentally incompetent, with poor memory, but a nice old guy.
He's not old.
You know, 81 is not old.
I have friends that are 95 that are still.
Bernie Marcus, founder of Home Depot, 95 years old.
Still sharp.
Still sharp.
I spoke to him the other day.
I said, I think you're smarter now than you were 30 years ago.
I don't know what's going on.
I said, what's going on?
81 is not all.
But he's different.
He's a bad 81. He's a bad 81. And he's ruining.
He's destroying our country, I'll tell you.
And she's worse than he is.
She is actually worse than he is because she's a real radical left.
He's a fully radical left.
He didn't believe this stuff.
He didn't believe in open borders, and she does.
She wants to open your borders.
She wants to have all-electric cars.
She loves the all-electric car mandate.
She destroyed San Francisco.
But she's the architect of the border invasion, trying to pretend she's strong on border security.
She's now...
Pretending that she was never called the border czar.
She was called the border czar the first day.
She's the border czar.
And she never went.
She actually went, you know, they say, they fact-checked me.
Anything I say is like a little...
She actually went to a beautiful part of the border.
I would love to take my first lady wife there to have dinner.
It's beautiful.
Very safe.
Now, she didn't go to the real border, did she, Front Row Joe?
She went to a nice little place, was there for a short period of time and left.
So she's never really been to the border, and she's the borders that are in our countries being invaded with people from prisons and people from mental institutions and terrorists.
She's a failed vice president leading a failed administration while trying to convince you that she represents hope and change.
Well, she does represent change.
She wants to turn us into a communist country.
That's her change.
She was voted the most unpopular vice president in history.
That's hard for a vice president to be that unpopular, right?
Just like Biden will go down as the single worst president in the history of our nation.
The happiest man is Jimmy Carter.
He's an old guy right now.
He's an old guy, but he's happy because his administration is considered brilliant.
Brilliant by comparison to this disaster that we have right now.
In her speech in Atlanta last night, Kamala Harris even tried to outbrand a new Southern accent.
Did you hear a new accent?
If I ever did that, all of those people back there, look at them, look at all those cameras.
Oh, when I go through hell, I'd have a week of hell if I ever tried to do that.
The contrast could not be more stark.
On the one hand, you have a radical left puppet candidate who is fake, fake, fake.
And on the other hand, you have a president who will fight, fight, fight for America.
unidentified
Thanks.
Thank you.
donald j trump
This is a hell of a big arena.
How many seats?
This looks like Madison Square Garden.
unidentified
This is a big, beautiful place.
Wow.
donald j trump
I didn't care.
I didn't care.
Although they'd prefer that we be in an arena.
I don't know why.
But we're not giving up the outdoor rallies.
You know, all those people that we had to turn away today at an outdoor rally, you can have...
We had 107,000 people show up in New Jersey.
107,000.
But you know, in the South Bronx, we had 25,000 people.
It was like a love fest.
South Bronx, tough place, but it was a lot of love.
No matter how much Kamala Harris tries to change her image, she cannot change this fact.
She is the most extreme liberal candidate in the history of our country by far.
She's an extreme radical left lunatic.
And, you know, I've been saying for the last six months, I've been saying about politicians, because I really know politicians.
I've dealt with them on both sides.
And, you know, then I said, let's do this.
Thank you.
But when a politician comes out early on with an idea like she wants to defund the police and all these other things, she wants to do really bad things, that's where they're at.
They're going to be there eventually, right?
Mike Kelly, stand up, Mike, will you please?
This guy, he used to stand up.
He's my friend.
He endorsed me on day one, right?
Day one.
Day one.
unidentified
He endorsed me before I was running.
donald j trump
He said, that guy's got to run.
I endorsed him.
I didn't even run.
How many endorsements do I have?
Well, you got Kelly of Pennsylvania.
I wasn't running.
Anyway, thank you, Mike.
I appreciate it.
He would stand out at those outdoor rallies when it was 10 degrees below zero and it was 97 degrees out without a shirt on.
It's not that pretty a sight.
Not that pretty.
But he would have, he had no fear.
He's a tough guy and they love him.
They love you in this state.
Kamala Harris co-sponsored Bernie Sanders.
$32 trillion socialist takeover of the entire U.S. healthcare system.
Think of this.
U.S. healthcare, it would mean that we're going to have to raise your taxes, bankrupt our country.
And she supported outlawing all of the private health insurance.
A lot of people in this room have great...
Some people want private health.
Some of it's incredible.
You go to these companies, they're doing an incredible job.
They want to be able to...
She wants that banned and she wants that outlawed.
You can't buy that anymore.
You're paying for it.
But it's great stuff.
I mean, some of the companies have unbelievable, the golden plans and all that.
And she wants it to be ended.
She pledged to give free taxpayer-funded health care to all illegal aliens.
unidentified
Think of that.
donald j trump
Oh, and she'll do that.
Which will totally destroy our social security system.
She sponsored a bill to give illegal aliens taxpayer-funded lawyers so they could sue us.
And she called for abolishing ICE.
These are unbelievable patriots, by the way.
They're almost as tough as our congressman sitting in the front.
They're almost as tough as the man that's going to be your next governor, by the way.
He's tough, too.
He's tough.
He's a great military hero.
And he'll come up.
I'm allowed to have him up for a little while, right?
Just a couple of minutes, right?
He's great.
He's great.
And I hear you doing very well.
But you get ready.
You get ready.
You got to knock him dead.
She compared ICE agents to members of the KKK.
She likened Border Patrol agents to practitioners of human slavery.
We have a lot of those great people here tonight, like Brandon Judd, the head of the union.
Paul, we have so many different people.
And they didn't like that analogy too much.
She voted in favor of deadly sanctuary cities numerous times.
She supports open borders.
That's all you'd have to hear.
I think two words.
You know, they say, sure, go down a list.
We have a list of 25 things.
All you have to say is two things.
Open borders, defund the police.
The rest is all.
But, you know, although she is going to kill Social Security, because by putting all of these illegal aliens into Social Security, it's dead.
It's dead.
She opposes even saying the words illegal alien and radical Islamic terrorists.
She backs mass amnesty.
Mass amnesty.
And citizenship for all illegals.
She supports mandatory gun confiscation.
Would anybody mind?
Mr. Congressman, would they mind having their guns ripped out of their arms as they enter their house or their apartment?
I don't think so.
She said that 70 to 80 percent tax rate is...
Quote, a very bold idea, something that we have to discuss very seriously.
She likes it.
And you know, all my life I've watched politicians and they've always said, we will reduce your taxes.
We will reduce your taxes.
We will cut your taxes.
They want to give you a tax increase of five times what you're paying now.
How the hell do you get elected?
This country is so screwed up.
Everything's backwards.
We want open border.
We want taxing.
How do you like to be a politician?
We want open borders.
We want tax increases.
We want all electric cars so that you can go 15 minutes before you charge it up.
And for all the congressmen that are here, in the Midwest, they built eight charging stations.
Now, you know what that is?
That's like a gas pump with electricity coming out of it.
Just a charging terminal.
It cost $9 billion.
Did you hear that, Mike?
Did you hear that?
Scott, oh, he's another tough.
We got tough congressmen here.
These are tough cookies, these Pennsylvania guys.
unidentified
Wow.
donald j trump
Look at that.
We're going to introduce them in a second.
Scott.
So they spent $9 billion on eight charging stations, two of which never worked.
I don't think any of them worked.
She wants government intervention to slash consumption of red meat.
They don't want red meat.
That means they don't want your cows.
Get rid of your cows.
Would anybody like to keep red meat?
Raise your hand.
You know, think of it.
Borders and electric mandate and all the things.
Red meat.
How the hell do you get elected, right?
You know how they got elected?
unidentified
By cheating.
donald j trump
They get elected by cheating.
Because nobody, they want to raise your taxes by five times.
Oh, please vote for me.
I'm going to raise your taxes five times higher.
But the red meat is to fight climate change.
Okay, climate change.
She supports ending cash bail to immediately release criminals upon arrest.
They kill somebody.
No bail.
Don't worry about it.
No cash.
You know, you just killed three people.
No.
Let's let them out in Harrisburg.
It's a wonderful place.
And in 2020, she personally urged her followers to donate money to bail out the violent rioters, get them right out of jail, including murderers.
You know what that was all about, right?
In Minnesota, which I think we have a good chance of winning.
Hasn't been won since 1972 by a Republican.
And we're leading.
Tom Emmer's going to bring that one home, they tell me.
He's going to bring it home.
This November, the American people are going to reject Kamala Harris' dangerous liberal extremism in a massive landslide.
Too big to rig, right?
Too big to rig.
Too big.
Too big to rig.
We're not going to let her turn the United States into a communist San Francisco colony.
We're not going to let it happen.
That's what they want to do.
They want to destroy our country.
She's the worst.
She was a bad DA long before you had your DA, long before you had some of these DAs that you have, as you know, in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, but in Los Angeles, all over the place, all over the place, you have bad DAs, you have radical left, horrible DAs that are funded by Soros and others, and they're weak.
They're just weak on crime.
They don't mind if somebody murders somebody.
They don't want them to go to jail.
You can kill somebody now.
Our country is sick.
The mindset of our country is sick.
And we're not going to let her do to Pennsylvania what she did to California.
She destroyed San Francisco.
One of the best cities in the world, and it's in tatters.
So she's a liberal from California.
She ruined the state.
She ruined one of the greatest cities in the world.
You know, 15 years ago, a great friend of mine, Bob Tisch.
Great guy who's an owner of the New York Giants and a very smart guy, wonderful guy, too.
Maybe even longer, a little longer than 50. He said San Francisco is the best city in our country.
And today it's a disaster.
It's a disaster.
He passed away quite a while ago and he would look down and say, what the hell happened to that city?
But he thought San Francisco was one of the greats.
He thought Chicago was one of the greats.
You know, Chicago...
On July 4th weekend, had 117 shootings and 17 people died.
Think of it.
This is not even believable.
When you hear about Afghanistan and the horrible job that this president did with Afghanistan, a low point.
unidentified
But they don't have anything like that.
donald j trump
In one of the most astoundingly phony moments in her speech last night, Kamala Harris bragged, quote, I will proudly put my record against Donald Trump's any day of the week.
unidentified
I will put it against Donald Trump.
donald j trump
This has got one of the worst records anywhere.
Well, Kamala, let's go.
Challenge accepted.
Are you ready?
unidentified
Let's compare our record point by point.
Mike.
donald j trump
I can't believe I'm doing it.
You know, the weird thing.
unidentified
I mean, two weeks ago I was talking about Biden.
donald j trump
I didn't even know her name.
Nobody did.
Kamala.
Hello.
Beautiful.
I didn't even know her name.
Kamala.
I heard she was a rotten border czar.
That's about all I knew about her.
Her only job was the border and she never went there.
But two weeks ago, three weeks ago, it was all about Biden.
Then I kept hearing they were going to steal it from him.
And I said, you know, it's hard to do because I understand when you have the delegates, he had all the delegates.
He had 100% of the delegates.
He had 14 million votes.
I said, you can't really do it.
But then they threatened him very strongly.
They said, you're incompetent and we're going to get you out.
He just won, you know.
No, they happened to be right.
He wasn't competent, but these are minor details.
No, he just won.
He had all the votes.
And he could have said no, but he was afraid.
And he's an angry man right now.
Here's the big question I have.
Will he be invited to the Democrat National Convention?
Will he be invited, Mr. Congressman?
I don't know.
Now we will because I'm mentioning it.
If I didn't mention it, he would not be invited.
But now they have to invite him.
But you know what's crazy, the craziest thing?
So you don't mind if I go off teleprompter all the time.
It's such a shame.
I have these great speechwriters.
They really are.
Ross and Vince.
They're great.
They're the best speechwriters.
And I hardly speak about this.
I could read the most gorgeous speech.
But you may be bored to tears.
No, they're beautiful.
The words are beautiful.
Everything's great.
The sun will rise.
The moon will set.
The oceans will glisten.
I say, that's beautiful, but I'm not sure that Harrisburg wants to hear that stuff.
What do you think, Congress?
What do you think?
Doctor, I don't think so.
No, they are great, but I tend to go off about 75% of the time.
But, you know, the hard part is that three, four weeks ago, I was talking about Biden.
He's incompetent.
He's a horrible president.
He's the worst president in the history of the country.
Now I say she's the worst vice president, which is true.
She's considered the worst.
She's the most unpopular vice president in the history of the country.
She did a transformation.
You know, the press is very corrupt.
You know that?
They gave her a transformation like Houdini.
That was a Houdini-like...
That was a magic trick.
But don't worry, she's going to fall because it's not about him or her.
It's about the policies.
They're the same and they're horrible, right?
But they gave herself...
You know, it's sort of like...
I don't know if anybody watch...
UFC is an example.
Do you watch it, right?
Dana White.
The great Dana White.
Did you see him?
He introduced me the other day at our convention.
We had the greatest convention in the history of politics, in my opinion.
Thank you, Milwaukee and Wisconsin.
The arena was beautiful.
It was unbelievable.
But Dana White introduced me, and he heads up UFC.
He's done an incredible job.
But it's almost like you're having a fight between two guys.
And one guy is getting beat up bad.
Then he goes to a debate, right?
The debate didn't work out too well.
How did the debate work out for him?
I don't think so good, Scott.
The debate didn't work out exactly good.
Then he tried to recover from the debate by going out every day and it got worse and worse.
It was a basic disaster.
But it's like having two fighters and the one guy is getting beat up really badly.
And they say, all right, stop the fight.
Come on out.
I'll put a new one in.
That's what we have here.
Kamala is the new fighter.
Who cares?
Under my leadership, we achieved the most secure border in U.S. history.
You know that, because you didn't have people sleeping on your lawn all night.
We ended catch and release.
We stopped asylum, fraud, call.
We got Remain in Mexico.
Remember that one?
You think that was easy to get?
I call up the president of Mexico, a friend of mine.
He's a socialist, but still he was a friend of mine.
He gave us many, many thousands of troops to guard our border while we were building the wall.
I built hundreds of miles of wall, and then they didn't want to finish it up, which could have taken place very quickly.
But think of it.
But, you know, we got remain.
Think of it.
Remain in Mexico.
That means you can't come into our country.
You have to remain in Mexico until you get approved, of which very few people got approved.
You think that was easy?
That wasn't easy.
Negotiated historic safe third agreements, which are complex.
I won't waste your time, but they were great.
With Central American nations built 571 miles.
Think of that, a border wall.
We're going to add another 200, far more than I said I was going to build.
And it was working.
It was working.
It was good.
We had the best.
Illegal immigration non-flow, I call it.
They were having a hard time.
Also, drugs were way down.
Human trafficking was way down.
It's human trafficking in women, mostly.
You know, it sounds ancient, human trafficking.
It sounds like something from a thousand years ago, but it's as big a business, in a sense, as the drug business.
And the reason is because of the Internet.
The Internet made human trafficking a very, very big and horrible business.
They traffic in women.
They put them in the trunk of a car.
They put them in the backseat and they close it up and you can't even breathe.
And they bring them across the border.
We had knocked it down cold and now it's at a level five times greater than it ever was before.
Nobody's there to check.
Nobody's to look at the car.
Nobody knows who's there, who's in it.
But you can see it on a certain chart that I have.
You know, this chart saved my life!
unidentified
Where is that?
donald j trump
I love that chart.
I'm going to sleep with that chart for the rest of my life.
That chart.
That chart.
You know, the amazing thing, you know, the people that operate the computers and all the brilliant.
She's great.
She's great.
She should come out.
Just tell her to come out here for a second.
unidentified
Quick, quick, quick, quick.
donald j trump
You got to get her out.
She's never done this before.
She saved my life in a sense.
I said, you saved my life.
Here she is.
unidentified
Wow.
Hi.
Thank you.
donald j trump
No, she's a computer genius.
unidentified
She saved my life!
donald j trump
No.
So, you know, the story is, but that chart, I only use it probably less than 20% of the time.
So, in other words, we do the rallies and stuff.
Sometimes I'll pull it down, sometimes I won't, because I do things a little bit at random while I'm up here.
Hello.
Look at a big fella back there.
But I do things a little bit at random.
But two things about the chart.
It's always on my left, which means I'm gone.
It's always on my left.
If it was on my left, I have Mr. Governor, Mr. Future Governor.
I have no chance because it would have been perfect, perfect hit.
And it's only used a little bit.
unidentified
And I always use it at the end of a speech.
donald j trump
I never used it early.
In fact, you were saying today, we were really sort of flabbergasted because you called for it at the very beginning of your speech.
And that chart...
I'm so proud of it.
unidentified
Now I like it much more than I liked it before.
donald j trump
But see the arrow on the bottom?
That's the lowest level of illegal immigration in the history of our country recorded.
And that was the last week of my presidency, Mike.
So that was the last week.
And look what happened to our country after that.
And those are now a little bit old.
Because if you look on the right...
It's a little bit old.
Those numbers are much higher.
They right now would go off the ceiling.
And that's what happened to our country in a short period of time, three and a half years.
But look at that number and look at that arrow.
So anyway, much more importantly right now, I say, I'm talking about illegal immigration.
I said, you know what?
Pull up the chart.
Pull it up.
And they weren't ready because, but they're so good.
And I said, wow, that was so quick.
There's nobody over here except for this lunatic.
And because the crowd was massive, as far as the eye could see, as far as...
I mean, that's why I love those outdoor sites, because you don't have to send 20,000 people back home.
And I hate to do that.
They come out and they want to get in and then you get the seats.
Would anybody like to give up your seat?
I thought you were nicer people than that in Pennsylvania.
Anyway, so...
So I say, chart.
And I go like this in the chart.
So a couple of things.
She told me today.
She said, you know, the amazing thing is you always call for the chart at the end of the speech, not the beginning.
So that was one factor.
That's crazy.
It's always on your left, not your right.
It happened to be on the right this time.
I don't think I've ever seen it on the right.
And various other things.
If I'm here, it's over.
If I'm here, it's no good.
I had to be exactly, because he was exactly where that very beautiful woman in the white is, right?
Stand up.
That's exactly.
And my son said, that's not a long distance, 100.
I don't know so much about shooting, other than I'm very good for the Second Amendment, I can tell you.
But I don't know so much about shooting.
But I know about sports.
I know about golf.
He said, that's like sinking a two-foot putt, Dad.
That would be the equivalent.
Is that right?
He actually said it might be less than that.
Because some people can't sink a two-foot putt.
Like Biden.
I would say Biden.
Biden can't sink.
But that's like sinking.
Did anybody see the Bryson DeChambeau thing?
unidentified
That was cool.
donald j trump
We had a good time.
He's a great guy.
Great young athlete.
So all these things.
And, you know, then you figure, what are the odds that that happened, right?
Where you just...
That was a very important thing.
It was done by Border Patrol.
Now let's examine the record of Border Czar Harris.
She inherited the strongest border in U.S. history and immediately turned it into the worst border nightmare in the history of the world.
There's no country in the world that's ever had a border like this.
I think the real number is 20 million people, maybe more.
Nobody knows.
You know, you have a thing called gotaways.
We have millions of gotaways, meaning people that weren't caught.
They got away.
Upon taking office, Harris and Biden stopped wall construction, halted all deportations, protected sanctuary cities, ended Remain in Mexico and our asylum cooperation agreements, which are very important, and allowed a gigantic invasion of our country, bringing in millions and millions of illegal aliens at levels never seen before.
Now, actually, other than that, I thought she's doing a very good job, right?
She's done a wonderful job.
She's the worst ever.
And she's going to be your president?
She will destroy our country.
This November, the American people are going to compare these records and they're going to tell, Bordazar Harris, you have done a horrible job.
You're a disgrace to our country.
unidentified
You're fired!
donald j trump
Get out of here!
unidentified
You're fired!
Get out!
Get the hell out of here.
donald j trump
But Kamala is protected by the fake news.
unidentified
No!
donald j trump
They're trying to delete everything she said.
Hey, did you ever see the Unselect Committee?
The Unselect Committee on January 6th.
Did you see where they went and deleted and destroyed all evidence?
It was deleted and destroyed.
So I think, Dan, you and all of my friends here, they should be indicted for that.
They destroyed evidence.
You know why?
Because the evidence showed that we were innocent.
The evidence showed that Nancy Pelosi should have had protection at the Capitol that I offered her and they turned it down.
The evidence showed that all these stories were fake, including me wanting to grab a big, strong Secret Service agent around the neck.
Think of this.
Think of this.
I'm in a car.
I say, fellas, I'd love to go down to the Capitol.
Sir, we don't think it's good because, you know, you're very exposed.
It's all that.
Okay.
I said, you don't think we can?
No.
So I said, where do you want to go?
They'll go back to the White House.
That's the expert.
This one person had me getting extremely upset.
I don't get upset.
When somebody smart says, sir, you're probably better.
And nothing was happening.
Just people were walking down, remember, patriotically, right?
Right?
Right.
So, they had me coming from the back of the car.
Now, these guys are very strong.
They're young and strong.
Not as strong as me, but they're strong.
And I grabbed the one guy driving, and he's got arms like this.
I grabbed him, and I was rebuffed.
And then I went over to the right, and I think he's like a world champion karate guy, right?
Like a very tough cookie.
Bobby.
His name is Bobby.
That's all I know, but I know him well.
He's a good guy.
And I grabbed him around the neck.
unidentified
And I began to twist and turn.
donald j trump
And he was in tremendous pain because of the power of Trump.
Tremendous pain.
And then I went back to the White House and I started throwing hamburgers at the wall.
This is the story of this person.
So they went to the Secret Service.
They found out it was all bullshit.
unidentified
It was all made up.
donald j trump
It was just made up.
Which most people, I mean, honestly, most people would think that.
You know, think of me grabbing these two strong, tough guys.
That's what they do.
The one guy said, you know, if I ever, if somebody ever put their arms around me, he's trained automatically to go with his fingers.
You know, just what he's trained.
Me, I like other things better, personally.
I'd like to run the country better.
That's what I'd like to do, you know.
They're good with the finger.
They're good with their fingers into the eye.
The fingers into the eye.
And you have a tendency to immediately let go and get a towel and start crying because it hurts.
They say, oh, that hurts.
No, it was all made up stuff, you know.
It was all made up stuff.
But wouldn't you think it is?
I mean, who would believe?
unidentified
Trump was so angry, he grabbed the one guy who was rebuffed.
donald j trump
Then he grabbed the other one around the neck.
These people are sick.
Who would believe it?
But probably some people do, even if it's five people.
But no, but some people would believe it.
You know, they hear it.
They deleted everything because the stories turned out to be false.
They deleted everything.
Nancy Pelosi turned down 10,000 troops or National Guard.
If we had 500, you wouldn't have had a problem.
And what you never see is the crowd.
It was the largest crowd I've ever spoken before.
And a small portion walked peacefully and patriotically down to the Capitol.
You remember the term?
Peacefully and patriotically.
He's horrible.
It's insurrection.
You know, if you have an insurrection, you don't say peacefully and patriotically.
Right, Mike?
You say, let's go.
No, these are really bad people.
These are crooked people.
And then her daughter, you saw that about a month ago, her daughter taped her, saying that it was her fault.
The day, the daughter is a cinematographer.
I'm sure Nancy's thrilled.
They just released a tape where Nancy is saying, this is my fault.
This is doing the thing.
Because she didn't accept my offer.
She said, this is my fault.
I could have stopped this.
Now she's trying to say, well, she didn't really mean that.
No, these are bad people.
They're trying to delete everything that she said over the last, think of it, this is on Kamala, it's no different.
Over the last 10 years, that's controversial or bad.
It's like defund the police, the fact that she was given authority over the border, that, you know, they're trying to say that under no circumstances was she even in charge of the border.
And the fake news.
Is trying to delete everything.
Are you seeing what's going on?
They're trying to delete everything.
But you know, it's a wonderful, the internet is wonderful in certain ways.
We have every single copy of every article.
But they're trying to delete it.
Under crazy Kamala's policies, you know, when I got hit, everybody thought I was going to be a nice guy.
And they thought I'd change.
Remember, just before the Republican convention.
And nobody thought I'd be there.
You know, it's not great to be there when your ear is slightly throbbing.
Let's go to the convention, darling, to the first lady.
Let's go.
But I got there.
The next day I left, right?
And it was the greatest convention.
And it was like a convention like no other.
It was a convention that we were all so proud of.
But they all said, Trump is going to be a nice man now.
He came close to death.
And I really agreed with that for about eight hours or so.
And then I realized they were trying to put me in prison for doing absolutely nothing wrong.
They went to judges who are crooked judges.
They went to judges who are fake.
They had prosecutors who are Democrat radical lefts.
And always in areas where it's like 3% Republican or less.
And I said, you know, these are bad people.
So I was nice for about, what would you say, Dan?
Three, four, five hours.
And then I said, these are bad people.
We have to win this battle.
And you know what?
They're going to become nicer when we win.
But we're going to have to win, I believe, to make them reasonable because they are crazy.
unidentified
They are crazy.
donald j trump
Under Kamala's policies, criminals, rapists, and vicious gang members.
I'm pouring in from South America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, from prisons, from jails, from mental institutions, and insane asylum.
You know, insane asylum is a step above, right?
This is...
Oh, they go crazy when they want to try and say, he's cognitively impaired.
You know, I stand up here for two hours and I speak without a mistake, but when I say Hannibal Lecter, they say, why does he keep mentioning it?
Because Hannibal Lecter was a serious psycho, right?
He was silence of the lands.
Dr. Hannibal Lecter, he'd like to have you for dinner.
See the man with the wall.
Stand up.
Look at this guy.
He's here so much.
He's great.
He's great.
He's a Trump voter.
I don't think we have to worry about him, do we?
He's a Trump voter all the way.
But Hannibal Lecter would like to have you for dinner.
But these people are now in our country.
And they always, you know, actually it's quite clever, I think.
But, you know, what do you do?
But they're always saying, like, he mentions Hannibal Lecter.
It doesn't make sense.
So it makes a lot of sense.
They're coming into our country.
And they're coming in from insane asylums which are closing all over the world.
It's not just South America.
Because we have the worst people representing our country.
They laugh at the stupidity of these people.
All over the world.
They're coming from the Congo and Africa.
22 prisoners right out of prisons from the Congo and Africa.
Not just South America.
Meanwhile, our crime rate is going up.
How about where they say, our crime rate's going down.
We just had 117 people shot.
You could take just Chicago and the whole nation's crime rate.
Look, these are bad people.
They're phony people.
They're liars.
They cheat on elections.
They do a lot of bad things.
And we have to win this election because crime statistics are a disaster.
They're made up by people that work in the White House.
And obviously the crime is getting worse because we have probably 20 million people in our country right now.
And every single day you read about one of these horrible monsters from parts unknown who raped a young girl, killed her, cut him up, uses knives, not guns, because it's a slower death.
These are monsters and we have them in our country and we're going to deport them at a level like nobody's ever seen.
We're going to get them the hell out of our country.
unidentified
They're going back to the country from which they came.
donald j trump
Because we have become a dumping ground for the world and we're not going to take it anymore.
We're going to get rid of these liberal lunatics like Kamala.
Just yesterday, it was reported that more than 1,000 members of the savage Venezuelan gang, Trendy Arguai, are plotting to conduct ambush attacks on police and law enforcement in the United States.
All the while, Harris and Biden sit in the White House and try and figure out who's dumber.
unidentified
They sit in the White House.
donald j trump
Think of it.
Massive, massive numbers of Venezuelan gang members.
Now, Venezuela is very small.
They sent them into our country.
And then you read that crime is down 72% in Venezuela, which it is.
On Sunday, in a separate incident, a Venezuelan illegal alien criminal let in the border by Bordazar Harris, shot a female police officer in Texas.
You read about it.
Multiple times with a rifle.
Thankfully, the officer is perhaps going to survive.
They don't know yet, but probably.
But most victims are not so lucky.
In Texas last month, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungary was tied up sexually assaulted and strangled to death by two illegal aliens who Biden and Harris released into the United States.
If Bordazar Harris stays in charge...
Every single week we'll bring never-ending screams of illegal alien rapists, bloodthirsty killers and child predators to go after our sons and our daughters and our wives and our husbands.
They're letting horrible people into our country.
They're poisoning.
They're poisoning our country.
By contrast, if I am elected on day one, we will begin the largest deportation operation in American history.
And we will immediately deport all of the criminals that Boris R. Harris has allowed to enter our country.
They'll be deported.
But no comparison of our immigration records would be complete without considering the terrorists that...
This crazy border czar of ours is letting into America.
By the way, can anybody imagine her as, in all fairness, we want to be politically correct and all that.
Great.
Who cares?
Can anybody imagine her dealing with President Xi of China, who's a fierce individual, fierce person?
You know, she was sent to deal with Putin to keep him from invading Ukraine, which, by the way, He would have never done if I were president.
Israel wouldn't have been attacked.
He would not have attacked Ukraine.
The recent hits on Israel wouldn't have taken place.
We wouldn't have had inflation.
You wouldn't have had that horrible disaster in Afghanistan.
None of these things would have happened.
We'd be respected again.
Now we're laughed at.
All over the world, they're laughing at us.
When I was president, terror watch list encounters at the border reached one year, and I don't believe it.
It was done by Border Patrol and ICE.
They have one year where it was zero.
They said, and I don't even believe that myself, but you know what?
I'll take it.
Because the charts are usually the other way.
Zero.
And then after, and it was part of that that we just looked at, but we had zero terrorists reported coming in in 2019.
I believe the year was 2019.
Zero!
So let's say it was 10 or 20. Now it's thousands of people coming in.
I never believed the zero, but I'll tell you, we'll take it.
But assuming it was 10, 15, 20, thousands and thousands of terrorists are pouring into our country.
Under Kamala Harris, thousands of terrorists have been let right in, right in.
And according to news reports, the Biden-Harris administration has absolutely no idea who they are.
Or where the hell they come from.
Just come on into our country.
But you're going to be finding this out.
You're going to have a migrant crime statistic that's going to rival anything that we've ever had.
And the only thing good about these people, they're very tough people.
They come out of those jails and those prisons and those mental institutions.
The only thing that is really good about them is they make our criminals look like very nice people.
It's true.
Our criminals that we used to fear.
We don't fear anymore, doctor.
They're like nice people compared to the people that are coming into our country.
No candidate who would knowingly keep the border open as terrorists pour across it can ever be trusted to be commander-in-chief.
You can't do it.
You can't let it happen.
If she becomes your president, and I think worse than Biden, I think worse than Biden, and he's gone.
He's shot.
But if she becomes your president, our country is finished, I'll tell you.
In Pennsylvania, your beautiful commonwealth, it's always good when you remember it's a commonwealth.
He would call it a state often.
Remember when Biden used...
I used to love this guy because you were on pins and needles watching him speak.
You know, when's he going to blow it?
And it would always happen.
Remember, he'd finished his speech and he couldn't find the stare.
And then these handsome men would run up and grab him and help him.
And every time I imitate it, the First Lady tells me, why, why do you keep doing that?
Because they keep saying, you can't find the stairs off the...
You know, you've only got about nine stairways off the podium.
But unlike Kamala Harris, I will keep radical Islamic terrorists the hell out of our country.
We're going to keep them out.
We're going to be safe.
We're going to have a safe...
Fact is, four years ago, we were respected like never before.
I would say like never before, we were respected by China, by Iran.
Look at Iran.
Iran is going wild now, aren't they?
You know, Iran was broke when I was president.
They didn't have money to give to Hamas.
They didn't have money to give to Hezbollah.
You see what's going on now with Hezbollah now?
You're going to end up in a world war.
going to end up in a third world war pretty soon with this with this guy between Ukraine and Russia and the stupidity with where I will get that negotiated and ended before I ever take office.
I'll do it after the election as president elect.
unidentified
Thank you.
donald j trump
In addition to her atrocious record on border security, Kamala Harris would also obliterate Pennsylvania's economy.
You know about that.
She's against fracking.
She's against oil drilling.
She wants everybody to have one electric car and share it with the neighbors.
Harris has stated repeatedly that she supports, quote, banning fracking.
I ban fracking.
I will ban it on my first day.
Now she's denying it.
Remember, a politician always goes back to what their original thought was, right?
And she co-sponsored the $100 trillion Green News scam designed to abolish...
The oil, coal, and natural gas industries entirely.
We have more liquid gold under our feet than Saudi Arabia, than Russia by far.
And under me, we took it from fourth place and third place.
We took it to first place by a lot.
We were energy independent, soon to be energy dominant.
We were going to make so much money.
We were going to pay off debt and reduce your taxes still further.
Now, you can't do anything with these lunatics.
Under a Harris presidency, 423,000 Pennsylvania jobs are linked to fracking.
They'll all be demolished.
She's against fracking.
She's not going to allow you to frack.
She's not going to allow you to frack.
And the only reason they're allowing it now, you know, they cut it way back.
That's what caused the inflation.
And then he opened it up again back to the Trump days.
He opened it up to the same because it's similar because he wanted to try and get reelected.
They didn't know his party was going to overthrow him.
It was a coup.
This was a coup of a president.
He will be famous.
He will be more famous for the coup than the bad job he's done, okay?
But this was a coup of the president of the United States.
This was like a South American.
You know, you read about South America.
Every week they have a coup.
And they also do the attacks on political opponents, by the way.
Your economy would take a $41 billion hit.
This is Pennsylvania.
Gutting billions of dollars from your state and local budgets, slashing funding for your schools and police forces, and plunging Pennsylvania into severe economic depression.
Enjoy it.
Look, if they get in, your state is screwed.
You guys are screwed.
Good luck, everybody.
Have fun in Congress, Mike.
But I will never let that happen.
But you don't need to take my word for it alone.
Kamala's anti-American energy crusade.
Let's just listen to her.
Now, she's totally against...
Oh, no, I love fracking.
Let's just see what her video says.
She had it taped just a little while ago.
Let's go.
unidentified
Will you commit to implementing a federal ban on fracking your first day in office, adding the United States to the list of countries who have banned this devastating practice?
kamala harris
There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking.
unidentified
Okay.
Bye.
donald j trump
If I said that, nobody would believe it.
So, and that's where she is.
She's a radical left person who destroyed San Francisco, and she'll destroy the country just like she did California and San Francisco.
She was the leader of that pact that destroyed San Francisco.
It's not only Gavin Newsom.
Gavin Newsom.
He's another beauty.
Oh, we're doing great in this state.
Everyone's leaving.
We're doing great.
The state's doing wonderfully.
They do have wonderful weather, and it's a beautiful place, but it's overridden with crime.
He's doing such a terrible job.
He's a con man.
You know, I watched him in the great Sean Hannity show, and he was saying, like, no, the state's never done better.
It's all fake.
It's all lies.
The state is a disaster.
They're moving to Texas, Florida, Tennessee.
They're moving to a lot of North Carolina, South Carolina.
When we win this November, we will end the Biden-Harris war on American energy, and we will end their terrible war on fracking.
Fracking is incredible.
The money you make in Pennsylvania, you could quadruple your taxes.
If you lost that industry, you could quadruple your taxes.
The policy of the Trump administration will be to drill, baby, drill.
I will also terminate the Biden-Harris electric vehicle mandate on day one and save the U.S. auto industry from destruction.
We are going to rebuild our auto industry.
And the United Auto Workers are mostly going to vote for me.
But, you know, they have a head of the United Auto Workers who's a fool.
He's giving our auto industry to China by allowing this electric mandate to even be thought of.
And again, I'm all for electric cars.
Certain little section that wants to have electric.
I can understand that, but it's a small section.
They want to have gasoline-powered cars.
They want to have hybrids.
And they're going to have that.
They don't want to stop every 15 minutes.
They refuse to stop.
You know, I have a friend of mine got an electric car, and he was used to driving from Kentucky, great state, to Washington.
And he'd drive, and, you know, he'd drive it, and that would be it.
Now he's driving it.
He had to stop six times.
He said, what the hell is going on?
He thought it was good for the environment.
It's not good for, you know, he's an idealistic kind of guy.
I think I'm going to do something good for the environment.
He got rid of that thing so fast, your head would spin.
And it's great.
If you want to go to the candy store and back, then you plug it in in your garage.
It's no wonder the Democrat Party and their thugs are so desperate to stop us.
They know that we are the only ones who can stop them.
The only ones.
You know, this is a movement, Make America Great Again.
This is a movement the likes of which no country but our country has never seen before.
MAGA.
MAGA!
No country has ever seen anything like that.
Remember when Biden would get up?
We will stop MAGA.
He had no idea.
I said, Joe, do you know what it means?
No, not really.
No, it means make America great again.
We don't want to stop it.
All of their persecution is only happening because I am running for president and leading big in the polls.
Oh, if I wasn't, I wouldn't have any of these lawsuits.
Oh, they wouldn't be suing me.
Because I'm breaking their ass also.
They wouldn't be suing me.
And they're doing this because I'm running and I'm leading and I'm leading by a lot.
We're leading by a lot in this state, by the way, in this Commonwealth.
We're leading by a lot in our Commonwealth.
The radical left Democrats rigged the presidential election in 2020 and we're not going to allow them to rig the presidential election of 2024.
We're not going to allow it to happen.
And every time the radical left Democrats, Marxists, communists, and fascists indict me, I consider it a great badge of honor.
Thank you very much.
Because I'm being indicted for you.
Did you like my mugshot?
Did you like the mugshot?
unidentified
Lovely.
donald j trump
My father's looking down, my mother and father.
They're looking down because they're definitely in heaven.
They made heaven.
They're great.
They're looking down.
They said, I can't believe my son took a mugshot.
This is unbelievable.
But it's the number one selling mugshot in history.
It beat Elvis and it beat Frank Sinatra.
Did you know that?
Frank Sinatra had a big one.
Did you know he got arrested for something?
And I think Elvis had a fight at a gas station or something.
But Elvis was one.
Frank Sinatra was two.
And I'm proud to admit and I'm proud to tell you that you have made mine bigger than both of them by a lot.
It's the biggest-selling mugshot ever.
And I still haven't figured out whether or not I'm happy about it.
I'm not sure.
In one way, I'm thrilled.
In another way, I'm not sure I like it.
Never forget our enemies want to take away my freedom because I will never let them take away your freedom, which is true.
They want to silence me because I will never let them silence you.
And in the end, they are not after me.
They're after you.
I just happen to be.
Standing in their way.
And I will continue to stand in their way.
I will always be here.
I'll be here.
I don't know.
I'm getting tired of protecting you.
But I love it.
We're going to protect you.
We're going to go.
And soon you won't need protection because soon you're going to have a great country again.
unidentified
It's true.
You won't need protection.
donald j trump
The country will protect you.
But think of it.
I say this to you.
I got indicted more than Al Capone, the great Al Capone.
Can you imagine?
Al Capone, Scarface, the meanest man you've ever met.
I have him beat.
But we're pleased to be joined today by some fantastic Pennsylvania patriots, friends of mine, incredible people, starting with the next U.S. senator.
From the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, David McCormick.
He's incredible.
Come up.
David, come up here.
unidentified
Come.
donald j trump
He's a military hero.
And honestly, you know, your senator, I don't think I ever met him in four years.
Nobody knows who he is.
It's the weirdest thing.
It's almost like...
How do they keep getting elected?
You got to elect this guy.
He's a war hero.
He's a national hero.
He's a brilliant man.
He went out.
He made a fortune and all that stuff.
That's a good thing, not a bad thing.
It means he's smart, right?
Do we agree?
It means he's smart.
You guys didn't make that much, but you're very smart anyway.
But David has been a friend of mine.
He's an incredible man and respected all over the place.
And, you know, you have one chance to get a guy like this in.
A lot of people, after watching my experience, they're not doing this anymore, are they?
So I'd like to introduce Dave McCormick, a great guy.
Hopefully he's going to be your next senator.
You're going to win, and you're going to win big, David.
unidentified
Thank you.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you so much, all of you.
And listen, in Pennsylvania, we know, Mr. President, this is the most important election of our lifetime.
We know it.
And we also know that this is ground zero, which is going to put you back in the White House.
And a majority in the Senate.
Right here, sir.
Right here in Pennsylvania.
And I want to welcome you back to Pennsylvania after Butler.
We're so glad you're here, sir.
Thank you.
Thank you for being here.
And I want to say what you all know, which is this is an incredibly important choice because we can continue to have the failed, horrible policies of Biden, Harris, and Casey.
And I say Casey because he votes 98% of the time that destroys our economy, open borders, the fentanyl crisis, crime, the war on fossil fuels.
But it only gets worse.
It only gets worse under Harris, Casey.
It only gets worse.
And that is why we need strong leadership, common sense leadership.
And when I go on the campaign trail, Mr. President, the thing I hear that people want most is strength.
And I tell them, listen, I'm a combat veteran.
I'm an army wrestler.
And when I was standing there in Butler and saw those bullets flying, and I've seen people get shot at before, and you came up and put that fist in the air and said, fight, fight, fight.
Thank you.
I said to everybody, that's strength.
That's what we need for America.
That's why we're going to win on November 5th.
God bless this Commonwealth.
Wow.
donald j trump
That's great.
You know, David, it is true.
David was in Butler, and he was sitting exactly there.
And you know, Corey was sitting right behind him.
Can you imagine?
Corey was killed.
He was sitting right behind David.
And David didn't flinch.
He didn't move.
I mean, some people moved.
Actually, I think it was really known that when bullets are fired in a stadium, everyone really gets moving fast.
They call it a stampede.
Nobody moved.
You looked at the people behind me, right?
Everyone's seen those people.
Those people have become legendary.
That was just a small group.
The main tens of thousands of people around here.
You couldn't even see the end.
Nobody ran.
Nobody moved.
They knew I was in trouble.
They said he's in trouble.
If you went to a soccer stadium where you'll have a bullet go off, one bullet, the whole place runs for the exits.
Nobody ran.
And how about the man behind me with the black outfit and the green floppy hat?
He's like this.
David, did you see him?
unidentified
He's looking, right?
Where?
Get up here!
Is that him?
Wow!
donald j trump
That's great, huh?
Well, you can be in a foxhole with me anytime, man.
unidentified
Thank you.
donald j trump
That's great.
That was a hell of a day, huh?
But there were a number of them back there that were just brave.
Everybody.
There was nobody that fled.
I think nobody fled, right?
They were brave people and they were looking and they were pointing.
They saw it.
They were pointing.
It was incredible.
And one of these crowd control people that came in afterwards said, they've never seen it where bullets are fired.
And I'll tell you something.
David was standing and sitting right.
Literally, the bullets were going over your head.
They were going over my head, too, the second group.
But you weren't a flincher either, were you?
You weren't.
And Corey, right alongside of you, right behind him.
You've got to vote for this man.
He's a hero, and he's a great gentleman.
He'll be a great senator.
And it's time for a change.
Time for a change.
I mean that.
Vote for Dave McCormick as they vote to seal our borders, stop migrant crime, defeat inflation, bring down prices, and defend Pennsylvania energy.
You have to defend your energy.
They will not allow fracking.
If they got in, her first move will be to end fracking all throughout the United States.
Dave is running against truly a not a good member.
I don't like to be disrespectful.
He's been there a long time, but Bob Casey is a stiff.
He's a stiff.
unidentified
Nobody knows who the hell he is.
donald j trump
I don't think I've ever gone to a meeting where he's been in the meeting, Mike.
Mike has been in the meeting.
Dan has been in the meeting.
Scott is at too many meetings, right?
No, I don't think I've ever been.
I don't think I've ever been to a meeting where Casey's even been there.
And I've been to a lot of meetings with a lot of senators.
But, you know, he just sort of goes along year after year.
His father was there.
He's there.
We want to have a great warrior.
Dave, good luck.
Good luck.
unidentified
Thank you, Dave.
donald j trump
We're pleased to be joined today by some really fantastic people, some, I would say, truly great.
Warriors, if you could.
Maybe Congress people, just stand up, right?
Just stand up.
Scott Perry.
Mike Kelly.
G.T. Thompson.
G.T. Hyde.
Dan Muser.
Lloyd Smucker.
These are unbelievable warriors.
These are great fighters.
And if you can add David, it's going to be an unbeatable combination.
Pennsylvania Treasurer, thank you very much, fellas.
You've done a great job.
You've done a great job.
Pennsylvania Treasurer, Stacey Garrity.
Lancaster County Commissioner, Josh Parsons.
Great job, Josh.
Jim Worthington, he's a fantastic man.
Thank you.
Thank you, Jim.
Nice to see you.
And two people that are amazing, very talented.
Very talented, very incredible people.
One is a spokesman for the lawyer, by the way, but a great spokesman, truly committed to make America great, and me, but truly committed to make America great, which is more important than me, more important.
I mean, it's just something special.
She has been an incredible person going around and letting people know how important our country is, how we love our country, Alina Haba.
Alina, stand up, Alina.
I didn't know she was going to be here today.
unidentified
I didn't know she was going to be here.
donald j trump
And another person, one of the most talented writers, a person who truly has the pulse of this area, Pennsylvania, and the Rust Belt in general.
The Rust Belt is her territory.
Nobody covers it better.
Selena Zito.
Selena, where are you, Selena?
Where are you?
Thank you.
She's a great writer.
We're also joined by Tiffany Hall, a single mother of four from Columbia, Pennsylvania, who wants to tell us firsthand what the Biden-Harris inflation nightmare has done to her family.
It's destroyed her family.
Tiffany, please come up.
Please.
Thank you.
Thank you, Jeffrey.
unidentified
Thank you.
Thank you.
donald j trump
This is happening all over America because of inflation, by the way.
unidentified
Thank you very much.
So, gas prices are just astronomical.
Being able to afford anything for my children anymore, like sports, is just kind of out of the question now.
When President Trump was in, I could do these things with them.
Since then, I have not been able to.
I can't put them into sports.
I can't go on extravagant vacations anymore.
We can go to free parks around here.
I miss it.
I miss when we didn't have to pull out of our pockets for things.
I'm hoping we can get back to a point where I'm financially stable.
And others, I know I can't be the only one.
all going to the gas pump and be like man here goes last of what I have I would like to be able to go into a grocery store again and not have to put something back or say, nope, we can't do a nice cake from the bakery.
We have to try and do one from home.
So I really hope and pray that we can make America great again and get you back in office.
Thank you.
donald j trump
Wow, thank you, Tiffany.
So cute.
You know, she said, oh, I can't believe it.
I left my notes down on her seat.
I said, just go and wing it.
And she did better.
You did better than if you had your notes, Tiffany.
I have to be honest.
That's great.
You did better.
Thank you.
Appreciate it.
Things like that happen.
I said, well, give it a shot.
She did better.
Starting on day one of the Trump administration, we will end inflation and we will make America great again.
We will deliver regulation cuts, energy price cuts, interest rate cuts, and we will drive prices down, and we'll drive them down very fast.
We will pass massive tax cuts for workers, and that includes no tax on tips.
To protect Pennsylvania jobs, I will revoke China's most favored nation trade status.
I will pass the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act.
If China or any other country makes us pay a 100 or 200 percent tariff for tax, we will make them pay a reciprocal tariff or tax of 100 or 200 percent.
Right back.
You hurt us and we hurt you.
It's an eye for an eye.
Before I even arrive at the Oval Office, shortly after we win the presidency, and it's we win the presidency, I mean that, I will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine settled, and I am the only one that can say it.
I know all the players, and they respect us, they respect me, and they used to respect our country, but no longer.
I will prevent World War III.
That's where we're heading.
We're heading to World War III, and you see it.
I will restore peace through strength.
Over and over again, our enemies have watched Biden and Harris signal a lack of will, total weakness to do what's necessary to protect American people and stand up for our allies.
A week ago, the prime minister of our closest Middle Eastern ally, Israel, came to address Congress.
You saw that.
The United States will never abandon an ally, a very important one.
Kamala chose to politicize the moment, to grandstand, make it a show of refusing to attend.
You know where she was?
She went to a sorority party.
Can you believe it?
Even though it was her duty as president of the Senate to be there, it was her duty to be there.
Her Democrat allies fell in line.
Chuck Schumer refused to shake the Israeli prime minister's hand.
Chuck Schumer has become a Palestinian.
Yes, can you believe it?
It's become a proud member of Hamas.
Nancy Pelosi likewise denounced the speech in shameful terms.
You know, 15 years ago, Israel had the strongest, most powerful lobby in this country.
Now it's almost the opposite with AOC plus three and all the people, the enemies of our country in a true sense.
But they are.
And the enemies, when they saw these people abandon Israel, they took note.
And I don't think it's accidental that just four days after Harris and Biden repudiated our Israeli allies, Iran's top terrorist group, Hezbollah, fired an Iranian missile to kill 12 innocent children at a soccer field in northern Israel.
unidentified
It happened right after he left.
donald j trump
With great embarrassment, he left.
The terrorists did it because We are no longer respected.
We are a failing nation.
I mean, it's horrible.
You don't want to say it.
I wish I didn't have to say it.
I wish I could say they're doing a phenomenal job.
I wouldn't run.
I wouldn't run.
I wouldn't have to run.
I would be very happy to have somebody.
Do a phenomenal job.
I wouldn't have to run.
And I'd be very happy with that.
I'd be proud of our country.
But right now, our country is a joke.
It's being laughed at all over the world.
The truth is, Harris and Biden's weakness is inviting every rogue enemy worldwide to absolutely get away with murder.
In my next term, we will build a great iron dome, missile defense shield over our country, a dome like has never been seen before.
And it will be entirely made.
In the USA and right here in Pennsylvania, big sections of it.
And I will cut, remember this, I will cut all of the bad talk about Social Security.
They're going to destroy your Social Security, but I will not cut one cent from Social Security or Medicare.
And I kept my promise for four years that I will keep it again.
And seniors should not pay taxes on Social Security.
And they won't.
They won't.
There are the people.
It's up to you.
No tax on Social Security.
By contrast, Kamala cast a tie-breaking vote to cut Medicare.
You saw this.
By $237 billion and a heartless betrayal of American seniors, we're going to...
We build our cities into beacons of hope, safety, and beauty better than they have ever been before.
We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C., clean it up, renovate it, fix it, rebuild it.
We will again have the most beautiful capital anywhere in the world, and there will be no crime, no crime allowed, very strong.
Right now you go there, you get mugged, you get shot.
On day one, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content onto the lives of our children.
And I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate.
And I will keep men out of women's sports.
How simple is that?
I will fully uphold our Second Amendment, as I did for four years.
We just got the backing of the NRA, complete and total endorsement from the NRA.
We will protect innocent life, and we will restore free speech to our country again.
And very importantly, I will secure our elections.
Our goal will be one day voting with paper ballots, proof of citizenship, voter ID.
We're going to do it.
We're going to do it.
A lot of other countries are doing it.
The mail-in voting isn't working.
It's corrupt.
But until then, Republicans must win.
We want to have a landslide because the best way to protect against the rigging, and these people know it, is too big to rig.
There's a level at which they can't cheat.
So if you want to save America, get your friends, get your family, get everyone you know and vote.
Vote early.
Vote absentee.
Vote on Election Day.
I don't care when you vote, but whatever you do, you have to vote and make sure your ballot counts.
Because these people cheat.
They cheat like dogs.

And in conclusion, from Easton to Hershey, from Jamestown to Allentown and from Pittsburgh to right here in beautiful Harrisburg.
Love Harrisburg.
We got a lot of votes in Harrisburg.
We stand on the shoulders of American legends who poured out their blood, sweat, and tears for our rights and for our freedom.
Pennsylvania is where our founding fathers declared America independence.
Think of that.
Think of the history that this great, great place is beautiful.
Pennsylvania, think of the history that you have.
It's where the Army weathered its brutal winter at Valley Forge, where General George Washington would never take his name off any buildings they'd like to.
When they want to take Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson off, it ain't gonna happen.
But it will happen under her.
George Washington led his men on a daring mission across the Delaware and where the Union was saved by the immortal heroes at...
Gettysburg.
Gettysburg.
unidentified
Wow.
donald j trump
Gettysburg.
And this is the state where generations of tough, strong Pennsylvania miners and steelworkers forge the greatest nation in the history of the world.
But now we are a nation in serious decline.
We are a failing nation.
We are a nation that has lost its confidence, lost its willpower.
We are a nation that has lost quite simply its way, but we are not going to allow this horror to continue less than four years ago.
We were a great nation, and we will soon be a great nation again.
With our leadership, every disaster Joe Biden and Kamala Harris created.
We're going to win, win, win.
Every problem can be solved and every wrong can be rectified.
By this time next year, America's borders will be strong, sealed and secure.
Inflation will be a full thing of the past.
It will be in full retreat.
Our economy will be roaring back.
Optimism will be surging.
The American dream will be thriving again for citizens of every race, religion, color and creed.
Law and justice will reign all throughout our land.
The flame of liberty will be burning bright.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the worst administration in the history of our country, will be a fading memory of the past.
And our great silent majority, including the once forgotten men and women of our country, will be the one shaping America's magnificent future when I am the 47th President of the United States.
Because we are all Americans, and together we will show November 5th to be the most important day in the history of our country.
We are one movement, one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God.
And together we will make America powerful again.
Make America wealthy again.
Make America strong again.
unidentified
Make America proud again.
Make America safe again.
Make America free again.
And we will make America great again.
donald j trump
Thank you, Pennsylvania.
God bless you.
God bless you.
unidentified
We're good to go.
