| Trump campaign is seizing on Harris' 18th day without a single sit-down interview or news conference since becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee. | ||
| Now, J.D. Vance crossed paths with her, at least her plane, at an airport in Wisconsin. | ||
| The vice presidential nominee is strolling up to Air Force Two and lambasting Harris for not taking questions. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just wanted to check out my future plane, but I also wanted to go say hello to the vice president and ask her why Kamala Harris refuses. | |
| Why does she refuse to answer questions from the media? | ||
| And I also thought that the press gaggle following her might get a little lonely. | ||
| I at least have enough respect for you all and for the American people you report to to come and talk to you and to answer some questions. | ||
| And so I thought her reporters might actually benefit from that as well. | ||
| So I had a little bit of fun. | ||
| I don't think the vice president waved at me as she drove away. | ||
| But I'm glad to have done it. | ||
| And I'm glad to be here in Wisconsin actually trying to persuade people to vote for us as opposed to just giving another scripted speech. | ||
| All right, Kellyanne Conway is here, but first, we check in with Griff Jenkins. | ||
| Hello, Griff. | ||

|
Good morning, Shannon and Bill. | |
| And it really is, as you said, a tale of two campaigns. | ||
| One that is quite open to the press with Vance speaking to reporters literally, it seems like, at every turn. | ||
| And now this Mar-a-Lago press conference this afternoon with former President Trump. | ||
| And the other in a total media blackout with real pressure, Shannon, building on Harris to publicly engage the press. | ||
| It is 18 days now. | ||
| She's avoided interviews or press conferences. | ||
| Mostly from J.D. Vance, but also from Democrat political commentators who say this can't continue. | ||
| I'm not mad that she's not doing 15 interviews a day, but it can't last. | ||
| It's very important, and we can't make favorites. | ||
| Anybody running for the top office needs to be as available as possible. | ||
| Now, Harrison Walls continue barnstorming today with stops in Michigan and Arizona. | ||
| We'll see if they speak to reporters. | ||
| Meanwhile, we haven't seen President Biden here at the White House all week, short of a brief glimpse Monday, although he did find time to tape an interview yesterday with CBS Sunday morning. | ||
| We've learned that we will see the president here at some point this afternoon when he welcomes the world champ Texas Rangers to the White House. | ||
| But it will be all eyes on Mar-a-Lago when the former President Trump... | ||
| He's talking this morning about things like the economy, inflation, and the border. | ||
| I see you. | ||
| I see you. | ||
| Are you not entertained? | ||
| USA! | ||
| Ha ha ha ha. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's a good one. | ||
| I watch the memes live. | ||
| We have a rule in the arena. | ||
| We have a rule on this program that I watch the memes live. | ||
| I don't get to see them. | ||
| The team hides them. | ||
| Like Fort Knox. | ||
| They're state secrets. | ||
| And they're hidden away from me. | ||
| I ask to see them. | ||
| I'm told no by executive producer ALX. | ||
| I'm told no. | ||
| You're not allowed. | ||
| So I bow my head. | ||
| And so I watch them live so that I can react live. | ||
| And what a perfect in the arena meme there. | ||
| Are you not entertained? | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, we will hear President Trump in the arena live on this program. | ||
| This is our special in-depth program that we do with Tenet Media. | ||
| And we are excited today, Thursday, August 8th, 2024, to carry through the live Trump press conference for you. | ||
| The reason why this is so important is because Kamala Harris has been the illegally installed, Democrat-selected nominee for 20 days. | ||
| And yet she hasn't spoken one time to the media. | ||
| Not once! | ||
| Ooh, baby. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| This means that the Trump mogging shall continue. | ||
| You saw J.D. Vance go up to her plane yesterday. | ||
| And Donald Trump will be in front of the cameras today doing what Kamala Harris refuses to do. | ||
| J.D. Vance stepped up and gave a press conference for her yesterday, which was sizzle mode. | ||
| Today, we are also going to be speaking with American hero, Congressman Brian Mast, who will talk about Tim Walz and his very peculiar habit of lying about his military record. | ||
| Why would you have to do that? | ||
| I mean, that's ultimately our question. | ||
| Why lie? | ||
| That don't make no sense. | ||
| He didn't serve his country. | ||
| He enlisted in the National Guard for 20 years. | ||
| Why do you have to lie about it? | ||
| We're going to go through all those demonstrable lies in the lead-up to President Trump's live press conference, which will be live on this channel. | ||
| And as soon as President Trump steps to the mic, boom, there we go. | ||
| Okay, my name is Benny Johnson, and you are in the arena. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
you you you Thank you. | |
| Okay, so let's cover just very quickly here what's happening to Tim Walz online as we prepare for President Trump to go live from Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, here is what we know. | ||
| We know three demonstrable lies and then one despicable act, okay? | ||
| And we're going to go through them and we're going to go through what's happening to Tim Walz, which is the vice presidential selection for Kamala Harris illegally installed without a single vote. | ||
| For the first time in American history, one of the candidates, for the first time since electricity, one of the candidates for our president was installed without a vote of the American people. | ||
| It is amazing. | ||
| She has chosen somebody named Tim Walz. | ||
| Here is a photo of Tim Walz with a handmade sign saying, Enduring Freedom Veterans for John Kerry! | ||
| Which I think is particularly interesting because John Kerry disgraced his uniform. | ||
| Betrayed his brothers-in-arms, lied about what they did in Vietnam in order to curry credit for the current trends, and summarily lost in humiliation in 2004. | ||
| What's wrong with this photo? | ||
| What's wrong with this photo is that Brian Mast did serve, actually. | ||
| Tim Walz did not serve in a theater of war. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Tim Walls did not serve in Iraq or Afghanistan. | ||
| He claimed to have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. | ||
| He used cutesy language like I'm an enduring freedom veteran. | ||
| Well, that would imply that you served in Afghanistan. | ||
| Never deployed there. | ||
| That would imply that you served in Iraq. | ||
| And he said this many times. | ||
| Never deployed there. | ||
| So those are two of the lies, all right, that you can see demonstrably. | ||
| They try to run away from this, but it's like all over the place. | ||
| In fact, it's in some of the puff pieces that... | ||
| He has written about himself. | ||
| Tim Walls has, this is how it works, you cozy up with a reporter, this happens to be a reporter for Bloomberg, and you sneak them all the things that you want to be written about you, okay? | ||
| This was what he wanted to be written about him. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Tim Walls, 24-year veteran at National College, recently returned from serving in Iraq as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. | ||
| Well, Iraq was not Operation Enduring Freedom, moron. | ||
| But also, ladies and gentlemen, That self-edit changes Iraq to Italy. | ||
| We look forward to asking, actually, the congressman if he knows the difference between Iraq and Italy. | ||
| Do you have veterans in your family? | ||
| Why don't you ask them? | ||
| You know the difference between Iraq and Italy? | ||
| Especially if they served in Iraq. | ||
| Especially if they served in the global war on terror. | ||
| You know the difference between Iraq and Italy? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| Tough one. | ||
| They're self-editing the history of Tim Walz live. | ||
| But actually, the most damning words have been from Tim Walz himself. | ||
| Where Tim Walls announces for Congress claiming to be a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom. | ||
| Tim Walls, on multiple occasions, lies, just boldface, lies about serving in war. | ||
| I carried weapons of war, he said, in war, as he gives a gun banning speech. | ||
| No, you didn't. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| And this is not for somebody like me. | ||
| I am not a veteran. | ||
| To try and denigrate the dude's service. | ||
| Why did you have to lie? | ||
| Why did you have to lie about your rank? | ||
| Command Sergeant Major. | ||
| No, you weren't. | ||
| He said it time and time again. | ||
| I'm a Command Sergeant Major. | ||
| No, you weren't. | ||
| These are empirical facts, right? | ||
| It's a Master Sergeant. | ||
| Okay, what's wrong with that? | ||
| There's nothing wrong with it. | ||
| There's no shame in that. | ||
| But why do you have to puff yourself up? | ||
| Why do you have to lie? | ||
| They called stolen valor. | ||
| And this very much irritates communities of men and women who did deploy to these war zones. | ||
| You know, that's actually the point when you get paid for decades to sit there and do drill on the weekend in the National Guard and you collect that taxpayer salary. | ||
| The point is that when there is a war in your country called that you are at the ready to deploy. | ||
| So here are the three lies. | ||
| Did not serve in Afghanistan, did not serve in Iraq, and lies on the record about his rank in the military. | ||
| It's a big no-no, okay, in these communities. | ||
| I've been texting with these communities all morning. | ||
| I have a number of veterans in my family, and I have a number of active duty in my family who can't speak for themselves, so it's actually incumbent upon me to speak for them. | ||
| And in a moment, we'll bring on the congressman who can talk on behalf of that community as good as anyone. | ||
| Here's the one despicable act. | ||
| Three lies and one despicable act. | ||
| The despicable act is he abandoned his battalion when they were called up. | ||
| Now, as a civilian, let me tell you, I asked, what's the equivalent of this, right? | ||
| So he abandons his battalion. | ||
| As soon as they get their ticket to go to Iraq, he said, I'm out! | ||
| I said, what's the equivalent of this? | ||
| I texted my buddy. | ||
| I texted my buddy, who's been, who's deployed actually to both theaters, Iraq and Afghanistan. | ||
| So what would be the civilian equivalent of this? | ||
| He goes, put your kids in your car. | ||
| Got three kids. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He said, put your kids in your car, plus your wife. | |
| Drive down to the orphanage. | ||
| Throw your kids on the step of the orphanage and say, see ya! | ||
| Then divorce your wife. | ||
| And walk away. | ||
| From all of it. | ||
| He says, that's what it feels like as a military man. | ||
| To have the person who was in charge, right? | ||
| Time and grade. | ||
| Tim Walls was in charge. | ||
| To have your commander, as soon as you get the ticket to go to a battlefield to war, and we've looked, the battalion got, man, they had a rough go. | ||
| There were members who died, there were young men who didn't come back. | ||
| You told those young men, screw you. | ||
| I'm not there for you. | ||
| That's what I was told, alright? | ||
| I got the text messages. | ||
| Happened to tweet them. | ||
| That's what I was told by men who've deployed this morning. | ||
| I'm a part of a lot of group chats with dudes who are veterans and who really serve their country honorably. | ||
| Some of them are quite angry at what's been going on. | ||
| Not being Tim Walls. | ||
| Social media flooded with pictures of vets. | ||
| Of veterans serving their country after Tim Walls ducked to combat in Iraq. | ||
| And he did. | ||
| Here's a photo of me not being Tim Walls. | ||
| It's just an amazing selection of vets. | ||
| I hope you follow some of these guys. | ||
| Hope you go in. | ||
| Every time you see one of these in your timeline, follow. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Kurt Schlichter here, a great writer and a fantastic dude. | ||
| Clearly taking a photo here in Detroit. | ||
| Potentially Baltimore. | ||
| Maybe Minneapolis, actually, after 2020. | ||
| Not sure. | ||
| Not sure where. | ||
| Buzz Patterson. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| This is beautiful. | ||
| Me. | ||
| Here I am in Afghanistan, not being Tim Walz. | ||
| It is actually a remarkable trend because you're able to see how many wonderful veterans there are who are active online. | ||
| A lot of these vets, a lot of these guys that I know, they're pretty quiet about their service. | ||
| They're humble about it. | ||
| Me not being Tim Walz. | ||
| They clearly don't use it to lie to the American public in order to curry favor and gain favor. | ||
| This is Sean Ryan. | ||
| Sean Ryan's super based. | ||
| Love that guy. | ||
| He's a great YouTube channel. | ||
| Me not being Tim Walz. | ||
| One of our favorites here. | ||
| Sean Parnell. | ||
| He's a cool dude. | ||
| I say this to say it's not often that veterans get on a trend, you know? | ||
| That, like, you get a massive trend of, like, veterans talking about their service. | ||
| I think it's beautiful. | ||
| Should be more of it. | ||
| Sean Ryan. | ||
| Sean Ryan has a big YouTube channel. | ||
| He's a cool dude. | ||
| Some of us answered the call and some of us, Tim Walls, cowered in the rear. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Me, somewhere off the coast of where Tim Walls wasn't. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| Yikes. | ||
| Get a load. | ||
| I would love to visit one of these carriers one of these days. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| Me and some of my Air Force buddies proudly served all over the world sending a message to Tim Walls. | ||
| Dude, you have pissed off veteran communities. | ||
| With this, you have really irritated a lot of people. | ||
| Here's Representative, Republican member of Congress, Mike Waltz, who, uh, saying, I'm not Tim Walls. | ||
| It's a badass photo. | ||
| Gotta be in Afghanistan, right? | ||
| That's gotta be Afghanistan. | ||
| Um, here's something that I won't do, of course. | ||
| I will do my best to carry forward the message of the veterans who are texting me and melting my phone down to the core. | ||
| Saying, you gotta talk about this, okay? | ||
| The one thing I won't do is presuppose what this is like. | ||
| Because I don't know, right? | ||
| And I think it's incumbent in actually requirement of a show like this to bring people who have been in the arena on. | ||
| I mean, that's the point of what we do here, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| I bring on now a distinguished veteran, somebody who served his country. | ||
| Very honorably, a colleague actually here, Representative Mike Walls, the great congressman from Florida, Brian Mast. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Uh-oh. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately, we're having a webcam difficulty. | ||
| What we do in these situations, the congressman is with us. | ||
| He's remote right now. | ||
| So what we're going to do is we're just going to sort it out. | ||
| Of course, we're live. | ||
| You know, we're always live. | ||
| We don't do pre-records on these things. | ||
| And we're going to let our producers check in with the congressman. | ||
| I actually saw the shot look clear just a second ago. | ||
| There must have been a small technical difficulty. | ||
| I look forward to having Brian Mass speak to us because, well, very few know what he knows. | ||
| And very few have sacrificed as much as he's sacrificed for this nation. | ||
| So as our incredible team gets together, as soon as he's in the arena, let's pop him back. | ||
| Let's pop the Congressman back on. | ||
| There we are, Congressman. | ||
| How are you doing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good. | |
| How are you doing? | ||
| Can you hear us okay? | ||
| Checking in? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Loud and clear. | ||
| We appreciate it. | ||
| It looks like you're coming directly from the gym. | ||
| He is probably one of the most jacked members of Congress. | ||
| Could bench press everyone except Jerry Nadler, I think. | ||
| I could bench press Mike Waltz. | ||
| Let him know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| Like the ultimate warrior or Hogan, right? | ||
| Hogan at the RNC talking about, you know, pressing that big nasty giant over his head. | ||
| That's what I do to Mike Waltz. | ||
| Let him know. | ||
| Man, that was a moment. | ||
| That Hulk Hogan speech, I'll remember for the rest of my life. | ||
| So let's talk about something you'll remember for the rest of your life, your service to this country. | ||
| And, you know, we try our best to just spit the facts here to bring on experts who know what it's like to serve in combat. | ||
| Few have sacrificed as much as you have, Congressman, and you have a large platform to really talk about what it means to serve your country. | ||
| This current embroilment of the vice presidential candidate. | ||
| The floor is yours. | ||
| Tons. | ||
| You remember the movie, We Were Soldiers? | ||
| I'll be analogous here. | ||
| We Were Soldiers. | ||
| Mel Gibson, he plays Hal Moore. | ||
| And there was this Sergeant Major, Sergeant Major Plumlee. | ||
| And he was a real hard ass, right? | ||
| The guy would walk up to me and be like, hell of a day, Sergeant Major. | ||
| He'd be like, what are you, a weatherman? | ||
| How do you know what kind of day it is, right? | ||
| That's your Sergeant Major. | ||
| He's the hard ass. | ||
| He's the one that trains you. | ||
| He's part of the training schedule, making sure that all of the rank and file, the privates and the corporals and the sergeants below, they're all up to par. | ||
| They're ready to go. | ||
| They're ready for combat. | ||
| They can shoot straight. | ||
| They're in line. | ||
| They can move into formation. | ||
| They know their tactics. | ||
| They know their drills. | ||
| And he's alongside of them as that leader that's supposed to be on the ground. | ||
| Not necessarily the strategy person, not the mission planner necessarily, but the one is, hey, I'm going to be where the metal meets the meat with you guys. | ||
| That's your sergeant major. | ||
| And in advance of this, Tim Waltz said, See you guys later. | ||
| And as somebody that is asking to be second in line to commander-in-chief of the United States of America, this is a guy. | ||
| That couldn't answer the call to service when it was laid directly in front of me. | ||
| He said, call to service? | ||
| No, I'm going the other way. | ||
| You need me troops? | ||
| You need me my soldiers? | ||
| Some of you that won't come back from this war? | ||
| No, I'm going the other way. | ||
| I'm choosing Congress over combat because I don't want to go into combat with you guys right here. | ||
| I don't want to go into combat at all. | ||
| Whatever it is, that was the choice that he made and he's asking to be second in line to Commander-in-Chief. | ||
| No way, no how, has no business doing it whatsoever. | ||
| Do you believe this is disqualifying? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| I think it's disqualifying. | ||
| This individual, you talked about the three lies that he put forward, and the one very despicable act, deserting his troops. | ||
| Awaltz, as some people have called him. | ||
| I like the Tampon Tim one because he was putting tampons in boys' locker rooms, but he's keeping this on the military side. | ||
| He's Awaltz. | ||
| You can't... | ||
| Be that, he's already lost the confidence, the full faith and confidence of the U.S. service member, Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, Space Force. | ||
| Now take your pick. | ||
| He's lost the confidence of them. | ||
| God forbid he would ever have to assume that role and hopefully he never gets that opportunity. | ||
| Pray to God. | ||
| Are you seeing in your veteran community a reaction similar to the ones that I'm a part of? | ||
| I mean, I'm here in South Tampa. | ||
| We're here next to McDill. | ||
| I mean, we operate like right next to McDill. | ||
| My entire neighborhood, right, is veterans or people who are currently serving. | ||
| And holy smokes, man, did I get an earful this morning on my front lawn, actually, about saying to me, and I won't say names here, but this guy's pretty, this guy's up there, right, at McDill? | ||
| And he's like, this is the equivalent to abandoning your family. | ||
| This is the equivalent, like, not following your brothers in arms when you've gotten the call, especially if you've been there. | ||
| Being there for 25 years, nearly 25 years, actually makes it far worse because it's like, you've been ready for this? | ||
| And that's what I was told this morning. | ||
| Do you agree with that? | ||
| It's like abandoning your family? | ||
| It's not just an abandonment, right? | ||
| If you're abandonment, maybe, you know, you gave the analogy of dropping them off at an orphanage. | ||
| You're dropping them off into a war zone filled with military-age male terrorists strapped with AK-47s, firing rounds at 3,000 feet per second, launching RPGs, lobbing grenades at them, you name it. | ||
| You're dropping them off into that. | ||
| And abandoning them. | ||
| You're not just saying, hey, I'm going to drop you off next to the grocery store. | ||
| Go in there, get a bite to eat, get some water. | ||
| You're going to be okay. | ||
| Go fend for yourself. | ||
| Entirely different scenario. | ||
| This was supposed to be your leader. | ||
| He said, I don't even know if he gave a salute on the way out, but he said, adios, I'm not going to join you for this. | ||
| And then people talk about the terminology that he used. | ||
| We're precise individuals. | ||
| We're members of the military. | ||
| You know that there's a difference between being in special forces or special operations. | ||
| There's a difference between being Did you get in the water and throw a line in the water? | ||
| No, I just brought my boat. | ||
| Well, then you didn't go fishing, did you? | ||
| Did you go hiking? | ||
| Well, I drove up to the trail. | ||
| Did you get out of the car and walk? | ||
| No, I just drove to the trail and didn't get out of my car. | ||
| Well, then you didn't go hiking, did you? | ||
| These are precise things that veterans know the difference. | ||
| That's one of the reasons that they're pissed off about the language. | ||
| You know if you deployed, you know if you didn't. | ||
| You know if you deployed, then you have a unit patch on your shoulder for the unit. | ||
| That you deployed with. | ||
| I'll be curious to see if photos come out of his uniform in the future about whether he has a deployment patch on it or he doesn't have a deployment patch on it. | ||
| Another clear example, if he did, of what would be considered stolen valor. | ||
| And he's not naive to this, and he did it for one reason and one reason alone. | ||
| Political advancement. | ||
| Being an opportunist. | ||
| Trying to take what... | ||
| Could have just been left at honorable military service, serving in the National Guard for 20 years, could have been just honorable military service, and changing it to something it wasn't for one very specific reason. | ||
| Andy, you just lost me again. | ||
| We can hear you, though. | ||
| You can hear me. | ||
| One very specific reason, and that very specific reason is... | ||
| He wanted to be elected to Congress. | ||
| He wanted to have an edge over somebody that he was running against so that he could get elected to Congress. | ||
| That was the reason he thought he could advance himself in that way by saying different things, thought he could do it as governor, advance himself in that way by telling these lies on the back of military service, and now it's coming back to haunt him, and that's why veterans are pissed off. | ||
| With AI technology, Congressman, we're just going to be able to remake you during that small section that your camera was offline. | ||
| And we got the clean clip. | ||
| It'll be great. | ||
| It'll be great. | ||
| Can you make me bigger? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe hair? | |
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| I'd say it's something that I was so fascinated to talk with you about because you are a wounded veteran and I want to give you an opportunity perhaps just to like step back and perhaps give a little bit of your pedigree because you'd be better at it than me. | ||
| About what you sacrificed for this country and why you can speak with such authority about somebody who decided a tour, a literal Olive Garden tour of Italy was the same as going to a war zone. | ||
| It's quite different. | ||
| You know, I served with 75th Ranger Regiment. | ||
| These individuals, the best of the best door kickers out there on a nightly basis. | ||
| The particular night that I was injured, we only work under the cover of darkness. | ||
| Everything's with night vision optics. | ||
| We don't turn on the lights for anything. | ||
| And as the bomb tech, I was the only bomb tech on the mission that I was injured on. | ||
| I was leading and clearing the way. | ||
| Get down to this river bank that's surrounded by marijuana fields over there. | ||
| And the river's there. | ||
| They're disgusting. | ||
| They're filled with... | ||
| Poop, right? | ||
| Urine, poop. | ||
| If you get into them, you're going to come out with an infection because they don't have good sewage systems there. | ||
| And so I get to this riverbank. | ||
| I'm like, guys, these two snipers I was working with, there's got to be a bomb, an ambush, an IED, a booby trap of something going on here. | ||
| Let me check things out. | ||
| Went to that riverbank, looked for things, batteries, wired, disturbed earth, tripwires, didn't find anything. | ||
| Went to the other side of that riverbank, tried to do the same thing, didn't find anything. | ||
| Took one or two or three steps after I told these snipers I was going to move ahead a little bit further, and boom! | ||
| Device went off beneath my feet. | ||
| I remember it vividly. | ||
| It tumbled me through the air, probably some five or ten feet. | ||
| And when I landed, man, I remember not even knowing if I had teeth in my mouth because of the concussion of that explosion. | ||
| I just felt numb. | ||
| I knew there was a good reason that I couldn't stand up, but I had taken myself back. | ||
| I didn't know exactly why I couldn't stand up at the time, and I was in pain. | ||
| And I can remember just gasping for breath from, again, the concussion. | ||
| The wind was knocked out of me like when I'd fallen out of a tree when I was little. | ||
| And I still had my radio device in my ear. | ||
| And I could hear my men, they're talking about me, those other service members. | ||
| And this is an important point about Waltz. | ||
| We rely on each other. | ||
| Everybody has a job to do from the sergeant major on down. | ||
| The sniper has a job. | ||
| The bomb tech has a job. | ||
| The medics have a job. | ||
| The interrogators have a job. | ||
| Everybody has a job to do. | ||
| He left his job and left his men high and dry. | ||
| So the medics, they're talking in the radio device. | ||
| EOD is hit. | ||
| EOD is down. | ||
| That's me. | ||
| They make their way in. | ||
| They put tourniquets on me. | ||
| Man, probably the most painful thing I can remember. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| Tim Walz decided that going to Congress was far more important than going to combat, as you said. | ||
| We had this remarkable... | ||
| This is so awesome. | ||
| This kicks so much ass. | ||
| This is really amazing. | ||
| Also, you're going on a good clip. | ||
| I can't run that. | ||
| You're going on a decent clip, man. | ||
| Everybody's got jokes these days, right? | ||
| And so people say, oh, you're running for office. | ||
| Is it okay to say that you're running for office? | ||
| Or is that insensitive to say, nah, you could say I'm running. | ||
| Is it okay to say that you stand for something because you might have difficulty standing? | ||
| No, it's okay to say that I stand for something. | ||
| It's okay. | ||
| But everybody gets overly sensitive in this world. | ||
| Totally badass. | ||
| I want to let all of our viewers live right now that we do have... | ||
| A live feed of the president. | ||
| He is going to have a press conference here in a moment. | ||
| And when the president is live, we're going to pop on over to that, Congressman. | ||
| You can see it right here. | ||
| There is a clip that I have to play for you, given what you just described, which is excruciating pain and concussion, trauma beyond, I think, most anyone's human capacity to live through. | ||
| Tim Walz, given the fact that he did a tour of Italy instead of a tour in combat, Decided to go on a bit of a screed when it came to weapons of war. | ||
| Saying that we need to ban guns here in the country because he carried weapons of war in war. | ||
| I want to get your response to this clip. | ||
| I'll take my kick in the butt for the NRA. | ||
| I spent 25 years in the Army and I hunt. | ||
| And I gave the money back. | ||
| And I'll tell you what I have been doing. | ||
| I've been voting for common sense legislation that protects the Second Amendment. | ||
| But we can do background checks. | ||
| We can do CDC research. | ||
| We can make sure we don't have reciprocal carry among states. | ||
| And we can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place where those weapons were at. | ||
| So, given the fact that you were a victim of a weapon of war, you were injured by a weapon of war, is he right? | ||
| Is a civilian-made AR-15 a weapon of war? | ||
| No, no. | ||
| I mean, it might be the same caliber round that somebody's shooting in combat, but this is not the same thing. | ||
| And this individual did not carry one in war. | ||
| That's the primary point here. | ||
| He didn't carry one in war. | ||
| He's sitting there again trying to say, I'm going to tell you a story. | ||
| Here's an analogy about my life and how I can relate to you and the NRA and home and all these things. | ||
| And I did this. | ||
| No. | ||
| You didn't do that. | ||
| You can't speak about that from a first-person perspective because you don't have the first-person history of serving on a deployment in combat in Iraq or anywhere else. | ||
| As you said, he's got the tour of Italy and he's got time and training. | ||
| Forgive me because I've asked this esoterically in multiple videos that we've done. | ||
| We've seen that the Walls campaign is now furiously going through and contacting reporters, some from 15 years ago. | ||
| That have been reporting. | ||
| I know how this works. | ||
| I've done 15 years of journalism. | ||
| I know how this works. | ||
| Reporting that he came back from Iraq. | ||
| And you've been able to see the scrubbing in real time. | ||
| We'll pop up one of the articles, for instance, from Bloomberg yesterday. | ||
| And so I guess my question to you is, do veterans know the difference between Iraq and Italy? | ||
| Or is this an honest mistake? | ||
| This was not an honest mistake. | ||
| Again, we are precise with our language. | ||
| We know exactly the difference and try to make sure with great certainty that most of us, that we are not misrepresenting our service because that is an insult to somebody else that did do that service. | ||
| If I went out there and said, man, you know what? | ||
| I was a Navy SEAL. | ||
| I was a Delta operator. | ||
| I was a Green Beret. | ||
| I would be absolutely insulting those individuals that... | ||
| I actually did those things. | ||
| I was none of those things. | ||
| I was a bomb technician in special operations, and I was proud to be able to do that. | ||
| I was not the things that I just mentioned. | ||
| I would be disgracing myself, their service, if I went out there and made that lie, and I would know immediately the difference as soon as I was saying it. | ||
| I would know that I was misrepresenting. | ||
| I was stealing valor. | ||
| I was stealing something that I didn't earn or do in life, and if I was doing it right now as a member of Congress, I would be doing it again for one reason. | ||
| Personal advancement. | ||
| And that's not what service is all about. | ||
| Service is about not worrying about personal gain, not worrying about personal sacrifice, doing it. | ||
| And this goes to one of the biggest deals that he walked out of combat, walked away from combat with these individuals. | ||
| We serve our country because we believe in the tenets of America, the 50 stars, the 13 red and white stripes, all that it stands for. | ||
| But what we do in combat when we are risking our lives and getting blown up and getting shot at, you are doing it for your brothers and your sisters to your immediate You are doing it for those to immediately beside you that you stand shoulder to shoulder with. | ||
| Your life depends on them. | ||
| Their life depends on you. | ||
| He said, no, I'm not putting my life next to you. | ||
| I'm not going to stand shoulder to shoulder with you. | ||
| Yours isn't going to depend on mine and mine isn't going to depend on you. | ||
| It's got to be demoralizing. | ||
| I'm not a veteran, but it's got to be unbelievably demoralizing. | ||
| I'm a head of a household. | ||
| I do run a company. | ||
| And it would be demoralizing if I just abandoned everyone, right? | ||
| I mean, I just, the best correlation I can, I can get. | ||
| And I just, it's heart-wrenching to think about throwing my kids into, throwing my kids into a war zone, as you said. | ||
| Give me a quick perspective here, because again, you know, you know these bombs, you know the IEDs as, as, as intimately and as professionally as you could possibly know a bomb, like the bomb that blew up at Abbey Gate in Kabul. | ||
| And that took the lives of 13 service members. | ||
| Now, that happened under Kamala Harris's watch. | ||
| It happened under Joe Biden's watch. | ||
| But Kamala Harris, we went back and pulled all the articles. | ||
| She claimed credit for the Afghanistan withdrawal. | ||
| And so she's now been illegally installed as the candidate for the DNC. | ||
| And so this seems to be quite the ticket here. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Some final thoughts on Kamala Harris, the architect of the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Tim Walz, stolen valor, running together. | ||
| What does this mean for the American military community? | ||
| For the military, they're in a bad situation with this kind of leadership. | ||
| Number one, these individuals, they hate military culture, right? | ||
| Because military is a gun culture, number one. | ||
| They don't like gun cultures. | ||
| It's a culture where it's still best man, best woman for the job, or at least it was right up until where we are right now. | ||
| That's the way that it was supposed to be until DEI. | ||
| Best man, best woman for the job. | ||
| They're trying to erode that in every way that they can. | ||
| They're getting rid of that last bastion of that true competitive environment where you either rise to the top or you do not. | ||
| And if you don't, then you get left behind a little bit or you don't ascend in rank or things like that. | ||
| They're trying to get rid of all that with the DEI of the military, with the wokeness of the military, worrying more about whether you use the right pronouns in the military than whether you're ready for combat. | ||
| They'd rather see somebody not get insulted than somebody die in combat. | ||
| And that can't be the state of it. | ||
| And people don't get to see that nearly as much. | ||
| It's difficult for military families to go out there and get jobs in many cases because they're going from duty station to duty station to duty station. | ||
| So is it that easy for the spouse to just go and pick up a new job and have longevity there and pick up the slack in the family budget? | ||
| It's not that easy. | ||
| The kids are trying new schools. | ||
| There are so many tough things going on for members of the military right now where this administration does not have their back. | ||
| And then you go home and you get to a VA, a VA where right now, as we speak, President Trump, he tried to make it so that every veteran could be seen outside of the VA if they wanted to. | ||
| They call it community care. | ||
| As we speak, the Biden-Harris administration, they are trying to get everybody from... | ||
| To give you a specific example in Florida, individuals in Tampa, your backyard, they're being told, hey, if you're getting mental health counseling for anything you experienced in war, you're being seen in the community. | ||
| No, you have to come back in the VA. | ||
| It doesn't matter if you have to wait three months. | ||
| You can't go see the person you built a relationship with, the person that's been helping you out, the person that got you out of crisis. | ||
| You can't go see them anymore. | ||
| You've got to come into the VA. | ||
| If you can't get an appointment in three, four, five, six months, then they're going to ship you off to Miami or somewhere else. | ||
| Can't work this way. | ||
| I know you've got to go to President Trump. | ||
| Here's President Trump, a man who you've endorsed, a man who's endorsed you. | ||
| Godspeed, Congressman. | ||
| Gangs outside of our country. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| In the form of other countries that are frankly... | ||
| Very powerful. | ||
| They're very powerful countries, and we don't know what we're doing. | ||
| We have leadership that has no clue how to handle them or how to handle any other situation. | ||
| We have a lot of bad things coming up. | ||
| You could end up in a depression of the 1929 variety, which would be a devastating thing. | ||
| It took many years, took decades to recover from it. | ||
| And we're very close to that. | ||
| We're very close to a world war. | ||
| In my opinion, we're very close to a world war. | ||
| We have people that don't know how to handle it. | ||
| They're not respected. | ||
| All over the world, they're left at. | ||
| And we can't have that. | ||
| Most dangerous period of time I've ever seen for our country. | ||
| With that being said, we have somebody that hasn't received one vote for president, and she's running. | ||
| And that's fine with me. | ||
| But we were given Joe Biden, and now we're given somebody else. | ||
| And I think, frankly, I'd rather be running against somebody else. | ||
| But that was their choice. | ||
| They decided to do that because Kamala's record is horrible. | ||
| She's a radical left person at a level that nobody's seen. | ||
| She picked a radical left man that is, he's got things done that he's... | ||
| He has positions that it's not even possible to believe that they exist. | ||
| He's going for things that nobody's ever even heard of. | ||
| Heavy into the transgender world, heavy into lots of different worlds, having to do with safety. | ||
| He doesn't want to have borders. | ||
| He doesn't want to have walls. | ||
| He doesn't want to have any form of safety for our country. | ||
| He doesn't mind people coming in from prisons, and neither does she, I guess, because she's not... | ||
| She couldn't care less. | ||
| She's the border czar. | ||
| By the way, she was the border czar 100%. | ||
| And all of a sudden, for the last few weeks, she's not the border czar anymore, like nobody ever said it. | ||
| And I just hope that the media becomes more diligent, more honest, frankly, because if they're not going to be honest, it's going to be much tougher to bring our country back. | ||
| We have a very, very sick country right now. | ||
| You saw the other day with the stock market crashing. | ||
| That was just the beginning. | ||
| That was just the beginning. | ||
| It's going to get worse. | ||
| It's going to get a lot worse, in my opinion. | ||
| And fortunately, we've had some very good polls over the last fairly short period of time. | ||
| Rasmussen came out today, was substantially leading, and others came out today that were leading, and in some cases substantially. | ||
| I guess MSNBC came out, or CNBC came out also with a poll that was leading. | ||
| And leading fairly big in swing states. | ||
| In some polls, I'm leading very big in swing states because they want safety. | ||
| People want safety. | ||
| They want security. | ||
| They want respect all around the world for our country. | ||
| They don't want this horrible culture that is developing, a culture of no common sense. | ||
| It's really a culture of no common sense, and it's not what anyone wants. | ||
| We want to have a safe country. | ||
| We want to have a strong military. | ||
| We want low interest rates, and we want to be able to have the American dream. | ||
| We want to be able to have our youth be able to buy homes, housing, get good jobs. | ||
| And we're really just at the opposite right now. | ||
| It's so sad to see. | ||
| But as a border czar, she's been the worst border czar in history, in the world history. | ||
| I think the number is 20 million, but whether it's 15 or 20, it's numbers that nobody's ever heard before. | ||
| 20 million people came over. | ||
| The border in the last, during the Biden-Harris administration, 20 million people. | ||
| And it could be very much higher than that. | ||
| Nobody really knows what the number is. | ||
| Nobody knows. | ||
| Nobody has a clue. | ||
| And the gotaways, they call them the gotaways. | ||
| The gotaways are at numbers. | ||
| Somebody was quizzing me on it the other day. | ||
| No, no, I don't think so, sir. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| They have no idea what those numbers are, but they're much higher. | ||
| Then you would think, just like far more people were killed in the Ukraine-Russia war than you ever report, just like the October 7th would have never happened, Russia would have never hit Ukraine had the election result been called differently. | ||
| It was a very bad call, but Russia would not have attacked Ukraine. | ||
| October 7th in Israel would have never happened. | ||
| You wouldn't have inflation. | ||
| A lot of great things would have happened. | ||
| But now you have millions and millions of dead people. | ||
| And you have people dying financially because they can't buy bacon. | ||
| They can't buy food. | ||
| They can't buy groceries. | ||
| They can't do anything. | ||
| And they're living horribly in our country right now. | ||
| With all of that being said, I think it's very important to have debates. | ||
| And we've agreed with Fox on a date of September 4th. | ||
| We've agreed with NBC, fairly full agreement subject to them, on September 10th. | ||
| And we've agreed with ABC on September 25th. | ||
| So we have those three dates and those networks. | ||
| They're very anxiously awaiting that date and those dates. | ||
| So we have September 4th, September 10th, and September... | ||
| 25th, we have spoken to the heads of the network, and it's all been confirmed, other than some fairly minor details. | ||
| Audience, some location, which city would we put it into, but all things that will be settled very easily. | ||
| I think it'll be very easy. | ||
| The other side has to agree to the terms. | ||
| They may or may not agree. | ||
| I don't know if they're going to agree. | ||
| She hasn't done an interview. | ||
| She can't do an interview. | ||
| She's barely competent. | ||
| And she can't do an interview. | ||
| But I look forward to the debates because I think we have to set the record straight. | ||
| Why is it that millions of people are allowed to come into our country from prisons, from jails, from mental institutions, insane asylums, even insane asylums? | ||
| That's a mental institution on steroids. | ||
| That's what it is when you see the people that are coming into our... | ||
| Institutions that are being emptied out, not in South America, all over the world, including South America, all over the world. | ||
| Prisons are being emptied out into our country because we have a president that's the worst president in the history of our country. | ||
| We have a vice president who is the least admired, least respected, and the worst vice president in the history of our country, the most unpopular vice president. | ||
| And because of... | ||
| Political reasons or because of being politically correct, even though she never received a vote. | ||
| Don't forget, she was the first one defeated, as I remember it, because I watched it very closely, but she was the first one. | ||
| She never made it to Iowa, the first state. | ||
| She never made it to Iowa. | ||
| She was the first one that was defeated. | ||
| She was the nastiest to him. | ||
| She was nasty with the calling him a racist and the school bus and all of the different things. | ||
| She was very nasty to Biden. | ||
| And shockingly, he appointed her, asked her to serve as vice president. | ||
| Well, I don't know if he's happy about that decision right now. | ||
| This was taken away. | ||
| The presidency was taken away from Joe Biden. | ||
| And I'm no Biden fan, but I'll tell you what, from a constitutional standpoint, from any standpoint you look at, they took the presidency away. | ||
| And people were saying he lost after the debate. | ||
| He couldn't win. | ||
| Well, I don't know that that's true necessarily. | ||
| But whether he could win or he couldn't win, he had the right to run. | ||
| And they took it away. | ||
| They said they're going to use the 25th Amendment. | ||
| They're going to hit you hard. | ||
| Either we can do it the nice. | ||
| I know exactly because I know a lot of people on the other side, believe it or not. | ||
| And they said, we'll do it the nice way, but we'll do it the hard way. | ||
| And he said, all right. | ||
| So, I mean, they've really taken, what they've done is pretty incredible. | ||
| And now I'm running against somebody else. | ||
| And we're leading. | ||
| We're leading. | ||
| So I'm not complaining. | ||
| I'm saying it's for a country with a constitution that we cherish. | ||
| We cherish this constitution. | ||
| To have done it this way is pretty severe, pretty horrible. | ||
| You would have thought they would have gone out to a vote. | ||
| They would have had a primary system. | ||
| They would have done something. | ||
| But to just take it away from them like he was a child. | ||
| And he's a very angry man right now. | ||
| I can tell you that. | ||
| He's not happy with Obama, and he's not happy with Nancy Pelosi, crazy Nancy. | ||
| She is crazy, too. | ||
| She's not happy with any of the people that told him that you've got to leave. | ||
| He's very unhappy, very angry, and I think he also blames her. | ||
| He's trying to put up a good face, but it's a very bad thing in terms of a country when you do that. | ||
| I'm not a fan of his, as you probably have noticed. | ||
| He had a rough debate. | ||
| But that doesn't mean that you just take it away like that. | ||
| Or you go out to a vote, you do something. | ||
| You had 14 million votes. | ||
| She had no votes. | ||
| She got no votes. | ||
| And I think she's crashing. | ||
| I think when people find out, and I think people are starting to find out what a bad job she did, what a bad job she did on the border. | ||
| She's trying to say she had nothing to do with the border. | ||
| She had everything. | ||
| She was appointed to head the border. | ||
| And then they said, Bordazar, oh, she loved that name. | ||
| She loved that name. | ||
| But she never went there. | ||
| She went to a location once along the border, but that was a location that you would love to go and have dinner with your husband or whoever. | ||
| That was a location that was not part of the problem. | ||
| That was not really going to the border. | ||
| So essentially, she never went to the border. | ||
| And if you listen to Tom Holman, if you listen to the great border people, Brandon Judd from Border Patrol, if you listen to Paul, I mean, so many different people. | ||
| I speak to them all the time. | ||
| And I did when I was president. | ||
| We had the best border in the history of our country. | ||
| Now we have the worst border in the history of the world. | ||
| Millions of people coming in. | ||
| And our country cannot sustain it. | ||
| Our country is going down because of this, because of incompetent people. | ||
| So I just look forward to these debates. | ||
| I think it's very important that we have them. | ||
| I hope she agrees to them. | ||
| September 4th, September 10th, September 25th. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| I think they'll be very revealing. | ||
| I think they'll be very revealing. | ||
| Do you have any questions, please? | ||
| Massive. | ||
| Trump says he's going to do three debates with Kamala. | ||
| That's huge. | ||
| I haven't recalibrated strategy at all. | ||
| It's the same policies. | ||
| Open borders, weak on crime. | ||
| I think she's worse than Biden because he got forced into the position. | ||
| She was there long before. | ||
| She destroyed San Francisco. | ||
| She destroyed California as the AG. | ||
| But as the DA, she destroyed San Francisco. | ||
| A friend of mine, Bob Tisch, you all know the Tisch family. | ||
| He was in many cities with companies. | ||
| He said the greatest city in the country is San Francisco. | ||
| That was about 20 years ago. | ||
| And he passed away a while ago. | ||
| And he would be looking down and said, what happened? | ||
| He thought it was the best city in the country. | ||
| He had divisions there, Lowe's. | ||
| And he would be looking down in horror now when he sees she destroyed no cash bail, weak on crime, terrible. | ||
| And yet they weaponized the system against me. | ||
| They have me. | ||
| I got so many lawyers. | ||
| Now they want to delay cases. | ||
| I won the big case in Florida. | ||
| I won the big case. | ||
| Nobody even wrote about it. | ||
| The big case, the judge was a brilliant judge. | ||
| And all they do is they play the ref with the judges. | ||
| This judge was a fair but brilliant judge. | ||
| And as you probably heard, the big documents case, I won it. | ||
| Now, Biden lost it because he didn't have presidential immunity. | ||
| He didn't have the Presidential Records Act. | ||
| He lost it. | ||
| But the special, I call it prosecutor, special counsel, special prosecutor to me, he, appointed by him, appointed by Garland. | ||
| He said the man's incompetent. | ||
| He can't stand trial, but he can run for president. | ||
| But we no longer have to worry about that because we have somebody that, in my opinion, is more incompetent. | ||
| She couldn't pass her bar exam and lots of other things, and she should not be in a position. | ||
| Because if she becomes president, our country is going to be a giant fail. | ||
| It's going to fail. | ||
| It's going to be a failure the likes of which this world has never seen. | ||
| Yeah, please. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How about you? | |
| You have to speak louder. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Well, it changes around a little bit. | ||
| I'm getting other voters. | ||
| Perhaps, you know, I was doing very well with black voters, and I still am. | ||
| I seem to be doing very well with black males. | ||
| This is according to polls, as you know. | ||
| It's possible that I won't do as well with black women, but I do seem to be doing very well with other segments, extremely well with Hispanic, Jewish voters way up. | ||
| White males way up. | ||
| White males have gone through the roof. | ||
| White males way up. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| All we're doing is giving you the stats that you have. | ||
| It could be that I'll be affected somewhat with black females, where we're doing pretty well. | ||
| And I think ultimately they'll like me better because I'm going to give them security, safety and jobs. | ||
| I'm going to give them a good economy. | ||
| We have a very bad economy right now. | ||
| We could literally be on the throes of a depression, not recession, a depression. | ||
| And they can't have that. | ||
| They can't have that. | ||
| So I think I'm going to do well with everybody, especially when the facts are out. | ||
| Yeah, please, in the back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I don't know. | |
| I know Josh Shapiro. | ||
| He's a terrible guy, and he's not very popular with anybody. | ||
| I think... | ||
| That this election maybe is better than Josh Shapiro would have been. | ||
| But I think other than Josh Shapiro, I think she had some good choices. | ||
| But Josh Shapiro is not one of them. | ||
| He's caused a lot of damage with a lot of people. | ||
| And I don't think he would have been better. | ||
| I think he would have been maybe the equivalent, maybe not as good. | ||
| But they had some people that they were looking at that were good, far superior to her. | ||
| They actually had a story. | ||
| Where they had everybody including, they had like 10 people that she was looking at and her. | ||
| And they said she was the worst of all. | ||
| In other words, she was the worst out of the 10 people and her. | ||
| I don't know how that's going to work out. | ||
| We'd like to do three debates. | ||
| We think we should do three debates. | ||
| We think Fox and ABC. | ||
| We also have CBS who's going to do the vice presidential debate. | ||
| So CBS will do vice presidential. | ||
| And I have to tell you, J.D. Vance has really stepped up. | ||
| He's doing a fantastic job. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| Say it. | ||
| Oh, give me a break. | ||
| Listen, I had 107,000 people in New Jersey. | ||
| You didn't report it. | ||
| I'm so glad you had. | ||
| What did she have yesterday? | ||
| 2,000 people? | ||
| If I ever had 2,000 people, you'd say my campaign is finished. | ||
| It's so dishonest, the press. | ||
| And here's a great example. | ||
| I had, in Michigan recently, 25,000 people and 25,000 people were just, we just couldn't get them in. | ||
| We had in Harrisburg, 20, 25,000 people and 20,000 people couldn't get in. | ||
| We had so many, nobody ever mentions that. | ||
| When she gets 1,500 people, and I saw it yesterday on ABC, where they said, oh, the crowd was so big. | ||
| I have 10 times, 20 times, 30 times the crowd size, and they never say the crowd was big. | ||
| That's why I'm always saying, turn around the cameras. | ||
| I'm so glad you asked that. | ||
| I think it's so terrible when you say, well, she has 1,500 people, 1,000 people, and they talk about, oh, the enthusiasm. | ||
| Let me tell you, we have the enthusiasm. | ||
| The Republican Party. | ||
| And me as a candidate, but the Republican Party has the enthusiasm because people want to see crime stopped. | ||
| They want to see a country that's respected. | ||
| Think of it. | ||
| If I were president, you wouldn't have Russia and Ukraine, where it never happened. | ||
| Zero chance. | ||
| You wouldn't have had October 7th of Israel. | ||
| You wouldn't have the horrible withdrawal. | ||
| And I don't mean to withdraw, because the withdrawal was fine. | ||
| I was ready to withdraw from Afghanistan, and we were going to do it with dignity and strength. | ||
| And we were keeping our equipment. | ||
| We weren't leaving $85 billion worth of equipment behind. | ||
| We wouldn't have had 13 great soldiers. | ||
| I know the families of those soldiers. | ||
| Well, we wouldn't have had these soldiers killed, and we wouldn't have had 45 soldiers obliterated. | ||
| No legs, no arms, the face. | ||
| None of that would have happened. | ||
| And you wouldn't have had inflation. | ||
| You wouldn't have had any inflation because inflation was caused by their bad energy problems. | ||
| Now they've gone back to the Trump thing because they need the votes. | ||
| I don't know if you know, they're drilling now because they had to go back because gasoline was going up to $7, $8, $9 a barrel. | ||
| So they said, we better do what Trump, but the day after the election, if they won, you're going to have fuel prices go through the roof. | ||
| Everybody's going to be forced to buy an electric car, which they're not going to do because they don't want that. | ||
| It's got a great market. | ||
| It's got a market. | ||
| It's really a sub-market. | ||
| People want gasoline-propelled cars. | ||
| They want hybrids. | ||
| They want to have everything. | ||
| And they want electric. | ||
| But they want everybody to have an electric car. | ||
| We don't have enough electricity. | ||
| We couldn't make enough electricity for that. | ||
| And you know what else? | ||
| The weight of a car, the weight of a truck. | ||
| They want all trucks to be electric. | ||
| Little things that a lot of people don't talk about. | ||
| The weight of a truck is two and a half times, two and a half times heavier. | ||
| You would have to rebuild every bridge in this country if you were going to do this ridiculous policy. | ||
| But on crowd size, in history, for any country, nobody's had crowds like I have. | ||
| And you know that. | ||
| And when she gets a thousand people and everybody starts jumping, you know that if I had a thousand people, people would say, that's the end of his campaign. | ||
| I have hundreds of thousands of people. | ||
| In South Carolina, I had 88,000 people. | ||
| In Alabama, I had 68,000 people. | ||
| Nobody says about crowd size with me. | ||
| But she has 1,000 people or 1,500 people, and they say, oh, the enthusiasm's back. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| The enthusiasm is with me and the Republican Party because they want to stop crime. | ||
| They want to stop people from pouring into our country from places unknown and from countries. | ||
| Unknown from countries that nobody ever heard of. | ||
| That's where the enthusiasm. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| Great answer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I know it's hard to hear. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I don't know if I can or not. | ||
| I got him elected. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's the feed. | |
| It's not us. | ||
| I got him elected. | ||
| He was doing terribly. | ||
| I got him elected. | ||
| With that being said, I hope we can repair it. | ||
| But if we don't, the people are still the people, and they're going to vote. | ||
| We're leading in Georgia by a lot. | ||
| We're leading in Pennsylvania by a lot. | ||
| But I don't know. | ||
| Now, in Pennsylvania, I have great relationships. | ||
| In Georgia, I do, too, but unfortunately not with the governor. | ||
| I've never understood it. | ||
| When you get somebody elected, they're supposed to like you. | ||
| He's not exactly for some reason, and you'll have to ask him about that. | ||
| Yeah, I'd love to see it get repaired. | ||
| I think that... | ||
| If we don't win Georgia, Georgia is a big win, is a big state. | ||
| So I won Alabama by a record. | ||
| Nobody's ever gotten that many votes. | ||
| I won South Carolina by a record. | ||
| You don't win Alabama and South Carolina by records and lose Georgia. | ||
| It doesn't happen. | ||
| And the people of Georgia understand that. | ||
| There was tremendous anxiety and problems in Georgia. | ||
| A lot of people say, what happened? | ||
| And we have to, all we want is honest elections. | ||
| If we have honest elections in Georgia, if we have honest elections in Pennsylvania, we're going to win them by a lot. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| Great answer. | ||
| Great answer. | ||
| I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, there's no mic on the reporters. | ||
| I'm so sorry. | ||
| It's not us. | ||
| It's every single feed. | ||
| Well, he actually said it two ways. | ||
| First, he said it incorrectly, then he corrected himself. | ||
| Do you agree with that, right? | ||
| You know, if you watch him. | ||
| He said it two ways. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I mean, he said it two ways because he doesn't really know what he said. | ||
| Why didn't he bring it up at the debate? | ||
| You know, he had a chance for 90 minutes to bring it up at the debate. | ||
| He could have talked about that at the debate. | ||
| And he didn't do it. | ||
| Everyone said, oh, he said this and he said that. | ||
| He's just, you know, they give him something to read off. | ||
| He read it very badly because he actually said it the opposite. | ||
| Then he had to go back and correct himself. | ||
| He said the opposite. | ||
| He should have brought this up at the debate. | ||
| If he had a problem, of course there'll be a peaceful transfer. | ||
| And there was last time. | ||
| And there'll be a peaceful transfer. | ||
| I just hope we're going to have honest elections. | ||
| That's all. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay? | |
| What a stupid question this is. | ||
| Because I'm leading by a lot and because I'm letting their convention go through and I am campaigning a lot. | ||
| I'm doing tremendous amounts of taping here. | ||
| We have commercials that are at a level I don't think that anybody's ever done before. | ||
| Plus, in certain cases, I see many of you in the room where I'm speaking to you on phones, I'm speaking to radio, I'm speaking to television. | ||
| Television's coming over here. | ||
| Excuse me, what are we doing right now? | ||
| She's not doing any news conference. | ||
| You know why she's not doing it? | ||
| Because she can't do a news conference. | ||
| She doesn't know how to do a news conference. | ||
| Redirect! | ||
| Yes! | ||
| And I'm sorry, we need smart people. | ||
| To leave this country, because our country's never been in this danger before, both economically and from an outside perspective. | ||
| Russia doesn't respect us anymore. | ||
| China doesn't respect us anymore. | ||
| North Korea, Kim Jong-un liked me a lot. | ||
| He doesn't like this group. | ||
| We are in great danger. | ||
| We're in great danger of being in World War III. | ||
| That could happen. | ||
| No, after their convention, yeah. | ||
| And I'm going out. | ||
| Actually, I'm going out to certain places to help certain senators get elected. | ||
| Not even for me. | ||
| I'm trying to help when I go out to Wyoming or when I go out to Montana or I'm going to different places to help people. | ||
| And I don't have to go there because I'm leading those states, as you know, by 35, 40, 50 points. | ||
| I'm leading by record numbers. | ||
| I'm going because I want to help senators and congressmen get elected. | ||
| Congressmen and women get elected. | ||
| Yes, please. | ||
| Yeah, go ahead. | ||
| I love this energy, Trump. | ||
| I love. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, the Elon Musk. | ||
| So, yeah, sure. | ||
| So, Elon called me. | ||
| As you know, he endorsed me full-throated. | ||
| Great endorsement. | ||
| I respect Elon a lot. | ||
| He respects me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
| And not easy for him to endorse, to be honest with you. | ||
| You know, it takes courage to endorse people. | ||
| Many people have courage and many people don't. | ||
| He does have courage. | ||
| And Elon endorsed me and he asked me whether or not I'd do a show on Monday and I think it's going to be Monday night. | ||
| And I believe he's the host of the show. | ||
| So it'll be very interesting. | ||
| A lot of people are talking about it. | ||
| I look forward to it. | ||
| That'll be done on Monday night. | ||
| Live on X. Live on X. We'll be live as well. | ||
| Well, you have a lot of misinformation spread about China, and you have a lot of misinformation spread about a lot of different places. | ||
| I think I'm going to get along great with China. | ||
| President Xi of China and I were very good friends. | ||
| We met right here, right in that, except we had a beautiful sofa there, as opposed to what we have right now. | ||
| Right now we have you. | ||
| But President Xi and I had a very good relationship until COVID. | ||
| And I held him responsible for COVID. | ||
| It broke up our relationship. | ||
| But I think we're going to have a great relationship. | ||
| And I think it's going to be mutually beneficial. | ||
| But we cannot have it where China is taking advantage of the United States. | ||
| And that's what they were doing, as you very well know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, please. | |
| What's your question? | ||
| No, I think the people that, if you look at January 6th, which a lot of people aren't talking about very much, I think those people were treated very harshly when you compare them to other things that took place in this country where a lot of people were killed. | ||
| Nobody was killed on January 6th. | ||
| But I think that the people of January 6th were treated very unfairly. | ||
| And they were there to complain, not through me, they were there to complain about an election. | ||
| And, you know, it's very interesting. | ||
| The biggest crowd I've ever spoken to... | ||
| And I said peacefully and patriotically, which nobody wants to say, but I said peacefully and patriotically. | ||
| The biggest crowd I've ever spoken to, and you've seen, Maggie, I was at the mall. | ||
| I was at the Washington Monument. | ||
| I was at the whole thing. | ||
| I had crowds. | ||
| I don't know who's ever had a bigger crowd than I have, but I had it many times. | ||
| The biggest crowd I've ever spoken before was that day. | ||
| And I'll tell you. | ||
| It's very hard to find a picture of that crowd. | ||
| You see the picture of a small number of people relatively going to the Capitol. | ||
| But you never see the picture of the crowd. | ||
| The biggest crowd I've ever spoken. | ||
| I've spoken to the biggest crowds. | ||
| Nobody's spoken to crowds bigger than me. | ||
| If you look at Martin Luther King, when he did his speech, his great speech, and you look at ours, same real estate, same everything, same number of people. | ||
| If not, we had more. | ||
| And they said he had a million people, but I had 25,000 people. | ||
| But when you look at the exact same picture, and everything's the same, because it was the fountains, the whole thing, all the way back from Lincoln to Washington, and you look at it, and you look at the picture of his crowd, my crowd, we actually had more people. | ||
| They said I had 25,000, and he had a million people. | ||
| And I'm okay with it, because I liked Dr. Martin Luther King. | ||
| Yeah, please. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Yeah, sure. | ||
| We have a constitution. | ||
| It's a very important document, and we live by it. | ||
| She has no votes. | ||
| And I'm very happy to run against her. | ||
| I'm not complaining from that standpoint. | ||
| And I hate to be defending him, but he did not want to leave. | ||
| He wanted to see if he could win. | ||
| They said, you're not going to win after the debate. | ||
| They said, you're not going to win. | ||
| You can't win. | ||
| You're out. | ||
| And at first they said it nicely, and he wasn't leaving. | ||
| And then you know it better than anybody. | ||
| Wait a minute, so when you think about it, they said at first they were going to go out to another vote, they were going to go through a primary system, a quick primary system, which it would have to be, and then it all disappeared, and they just picked a person that was the first out. | ||
| She was the first loser, okay? | ||
| So we call her the first loser. | ||
| She was the first loser when, during the primary system, during the Democrat primary system, she was the first one to quit, and she quit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True. | |
| He had no votes, no support, and she was a bad debater, by the way, very bad debater. | ||
| And that's not the thing I'm looking forward to, but she was a bad debater. | ||
| She did obviously a bad job. | ||
| She never made it to Iowa. | ||
| Then for some reason, and I know he regrets it, you do too, he picked her and... | ||
| She turned on him, too. | ||
| She was working with the people that wanted him out. | ||
| But the fact that you can get no votes, lose in the primary system, in other words, you had 14 or 15 people, she was the first one out, and that you can then be picked to run for president, seems to me actually unconstitutional. | ||
| Perhaps it's not. | ||
| Please. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Such a strong point. | ||
| illegally installed commie Kamala. | ||
| So I've run against Hillary, and I've run against various other people. | ||
| I would say that in terms of intelligence, Hillary was far superior. | ||
| I would say that. | ||
| Hillary was smart. | ||
| She was her own worst enemy in many ways, but she was smart. | ||
| Very smart. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay? | |
| If you ask me to compare them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Please. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Would you repeat that question, please? | ||
| You have to speak up. | ||
| It's a hard room because it's very big. | ||
| So this is worth $18 million. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| How many people do you have? | ||
| So I think the abortion issue is written very much tempered down. | ||
| And I've answered, I think, very well in the debate. | ||
| And it seems to be much less of an issue, especially for those where they have the exceptions, as you know. | ||
| And I think it's when I look for 52 years, they wanted to bring abortion back to the states. | ||
| They wanted to get rid of Roe v. | ||
| Wade. | ||
| And that's Democrats, Republicans and independents and everybody. | ||
| Liberals, conservatives, everybody wanted it back in the States. | ||
| And I did that. | ||
| Now the states are voting. | ||
| And frankly, some of the votes are much more, if you could say, liberal than you would think. | ||
| Ohio turned out to be, they had a big vote and it turned out to be a much more liberal standing than people would have thought. | ||
| Kansas, the same thing. | ||
| And then you have Texas and you have other places where it may be different. | ||
| But the issue has been brought back to the states now. | ||
| And like Ronald Reagan, I believe in the exceptions for... | ||
| Rape, incest, and life of the mother. | ||
| I believe strongly. | ||
| I think that's a very important thing. | ||
| I think when you don't... | ||
| You have to follow your heart. | ||
| But when you don't believe in the exceptions, I think it's much tougher. | ||
| It's a much tougher issue. | ||
| But about 82% of Republicans do believe in exceptions. | ||
| I think the... | ||
| And a lot of them are changing their mind and coming even further. | ||
| I think that abortion has become much less of an issue. | ||
| I think it's actually going to be a very small issue. | ||
| What I've done is I've done what every Democrat and every Republican wanted to have done, and we brought that issue back to the states. | ||
| And now the states are voting on it. | ||
| And frankly, some of the votes are a lot different than people would have thought. | ||
| But it's the vote of the people that's taking care of it. | ||
| And, you know, when you think about the radical, the Democrats are really the radical ones in this because they're allowed to... | ||
| Do abortion on the 8th and 9th month and even after birth. | ||
| If you look at your new governor from Minnesota, he's talking about, he's like the governor previous, the former governor. | ||
| I don't want to get him mixed up because Glenn is doing a good job and he's leading our whole campaign in Virginia, Glenn Youngkin. | ||
| But previous to Glenn, the governor, he said the baby will be born. | ||
| We will put the baby aside and we will decide with the mother what we're going to do. | ||
| In other words, whether or not we're going to kill the baby. | ||
| The Minnesota gentleman, this guy agrees with that. | ||
| He is the most liberal. | ||
| Look, between her and him, there's never been anything like this. | ||
| There's never been a combination. | ||
| So I'll use the word progressive. | ||
| You know, they want to go progressive. | ||
| They don't like the word liberal. | ||
| I like liberal better. | ||
| I think it's more appropriate. | ||
| Because nobody knows what progressive means. | ||
| But they now like to use the word progressive. | ||
| But there's certainly never been anybody so liberal like these two, or even close. | ||
| I think the abortion issue has been taken down many notches. | ||
| I don't think it's a big factor anymore, really. | ||
| And when people hear what I said in the debate, and I think I said it very well during the debate, we brought it back to the States. | ||
| Everybody wanted it in the States. | ||
| And very importantly, and you think about this, assuming you have exceptions, if you don't have exceptions, it's a more difficult thing. | ||
| At the same time, there are people that strongly feel that way, and you have to follow your heart, and you should follow your heart. | ||
| But that issue is very much subdued. | ||
| Yeah, thank you. | ||
| Trump is locked in. | ||
| He is locked in, baby. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| About who? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| No, I didn't. | ||
| Look, if you take away guns, she wants to take away everyone's gun. | ||
| If you take away guns, you can't do it. | ||
| Because people need the guns for protection. | ||
| Now, entertainment they wanted, hunting, you know, different things. | ||
| But they need weapons for protection in this country. | ||
| People live out in the woods and they're not going to have a gun. | ||
| If you look at some countries, I don't want to get them in trouble, but some countries have actually gone. | ||
| The opposite way. | ||
| They had very strong gun laws, and now they have gone the opposite way, where they allowed people to have guns, where in one case they encouraged people to go out and get guns, and crime is down 29%. | ||
| And remember this: What is the toughest gun law in the United States? | ||
| Chicago. | ||
| On July 4th, 117 people were shot and 17 died. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| The toughest gun laws in the United States are in the city of Chicago. | ||
| Sharp. | ||
| They had 117 people shot. | ||
| Afghanistan does not have that. | ||
| Afghanistan, by the way, was the lowest point in the history of our country, in my opinion. | ||
| That was the worst embarrassment to the history of this country, and I think Putin would not have gone into Ukraine. | ||
| If that didn't happen, when he saw the incompetence of Milley and all these guys that are incompetent, when he saw that happen, when they took out the soldiers first, they took out the soldiers first. | ||
| You know, if you go back and check your records, for 18 months, I had a talk with Abdul. | ||
| Abdul was the leader of the Taliban, still is. | ||
| But I had a strong talk with him. | ||
| For 18 months, not one American soldier was shot at or killed. | ||
| But not even shot at. | ||
| 18 months, and then we had the disaster of the lift, where people were falling off airplanes from three times the height of the World Trade Center. | ||
| I mean, it's terrible. | ||
| But now our country has to be respected again. | ||
| Please. | ||
| Go ahead, please. | ||
| I'd be against that. | ||
| That Kamala is in favor of not giving Israel weapons? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's what I hear. | ||
| Look, she's been very, very bad to Israel, and she's been very bad to Jewish people. | ||
| And I say it. | ||
| If anybody I know is Jewish, and they would vote for Kamala... | ||
| Over me? | ||
| They should have their head examined. | ||
| If you think about it, I gave them Golan Heights. | ||
| I gave them the capital of Israel, Jerusalem. | ||
| I even built the embassy. | ||
| Locked in. | ||
| I gave them no Iran deal. | ||
| The problem is they didn't do anything with it. | ||
| Iran was broke. | ||
| We could have made a deal so easily. | ||
| I would have had a deal done within one week after the election with Iran. | ||
| Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. | ||
| It's very simple. | ||
| We would have gotten along with Iran. | ||
| I was looking forward to it. | ||
| I was fine with Iran. | ||
| You know, we hit them a couple of times pretty hard. | ||
| But we would have been fine with Iran. | ||
| But I got them. | ||
| I terminated that deal. | ||
| I got them the Abraham Accords. | ||
| Everyone said that's impossible. | ||
| I got them the Abraham Accords. | ||
| She's been very, very bad to Israel, and she's been very bad and disrespectful to Jewish people. | ||
| And any Jewish person that votes for Kamala and her friend, her new friend, who I don't know if she knew him before, but I don't think he's too good. | ||
| But anybody that votes for them, if you're Jewish or if you love Israel, You have to have your head examined. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| What an answer. | ||
| Locked in Trump. | ||
| Dates, times, numbers. | ||
| Not the shooter. | ||
| I think they've done a very good job. | ||
| And I think they did a very good job with respect to this other lunatic that they have in custody. | ||
| Please. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Well, I know Willie Brown very well. | ||
| In fact, I went down in a helicopter with him. | ||
| We thought maybe this is the end. | ||
| We were in a helicopter going to a certain location together. | ||
| And there was an emergency landing. | ||
| This was not a pleasant landing. | ||
| And Willie was a little concerned. | ||
| So I know him pretty well. | ||
| I mean, I haven't seen him in years. | ||
| But he told me terrible things about her. | ||
| But this is what you're telling me anyway, I guess. | ||
| But he had a big part in what happened with Kamala. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Maybe he's changed his tune, but he he was not a fan of hers very much at that point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Yeah, I do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go ahead. | |
| On what? | ||
| Well, I'm going to... | ||
| I'm going to actually have a press conference on that at some point in the near future, so I don't want to tell you now. | ||
| But Florida does have a vote coming up on that. | ||
| And I think probably the vote will go in a little more liberal way than people thought. | ||
| But I'll be announcing that at the appropriate time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Please. | |
| Yeah, we gave tremendous and tremendous for childcare and all of that. | ||
| No, our tax cuts, which are the biggest in history, our tax cuts are coming due, as you know, very soon. | ||
| And if the Democrats don't renew them or make it impossible to renew, because it's pretty close in terms of vote, if they don't renew them, it's the equivalent of having a four times tax increase from what you have right now, and it'll destroy the economy. | ||
| I think they're under tremendous pressure to do it. | ||
| I've never seen, you know, all my life I grow up and I watch politics and I used to be on the other side of politics, then I run for office. | ||
| But in all the years of studying politics, I've never seen people get elected by saying, we're going to give you a tax increase. | ||
| These guys get up. | ||
| Think of it. | ||
| We're going to give you no security. | ||
| We're going to give you a weak military. | ||
| We're going to give you no walls, no borders, no anything. | ||
| All these things they're doing. | ||
| I mean, transgender. | ||
| Transgender became such a big thing. | ||
| But they do all of these things. | ||
| But they always say, we're going to give you a tax increase. | ||
| I never heard anybody campaign on a tax increase. | ||
| A politician has always said, I will cut taxes. | ||
| I'll give you one example. | ||
| Social Security. | ||
| They're going to destroy Social Security. | ||
| I am going to leave Social Security. | ||
| I'm not raising the years. | ||
| I'm not raising the age. | ||
| I will be saving Social Security, and I'm going to work it out that there's no tax on Social Security for seniors. | ||
| I'm also doing no tax on tips. | ||
| No tax on tips. | ||
| So waiters, waitresses, caddies, people that drive cars, people that get tips who have been harassed by this government, we're going to have no tax on tips. | ||
| That's a big thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, absolutely. | ||
| Because other people have done far bigger things than Steve Bannon. | ||
| Sure, it's politically motivated. | ||
| I think it's a horrible thing they did. | ||
| Look, they've weaponized government against me. | ||
| Look at the Florida case. | ||
| It was a totally weaponized case. | ||
| All of these cases. | ||
| By the way, the New York cases are totally controlled out of the Department of Justice. | ||
| They sent their top person to the... | ||
| Various places. | ||
| They went to the AG's office, got that one going. | ||
| Then he went to the DA's office, got that one going, ran through it. | ||
| No, no, this is all politics, and it's a disgrace. | ||
| Never happened in this country. | ||
| It's very common that it happens, but not in our country. | ||
| It happens in banana republics and third world countries, and that's what we're becoming. | ||
| We have no borders. | ||
| We have bad voting regulations. | ||
| Anytime you have mail-in ballots, you're going to have problems. | ||
| France learned that lesson. | ||
| France had all mail-in voting, and they went back to paper ballots, voter identification, voter ID. | ||
| They went back to a normal system, one-day voting. | ||
| They don't want to be around voting for 64 days. | ||
| Look, the election, I keep talking about November 5th, but the election really starts on September 6th. | ||
| That's when it starts, because it's early voting. | ||
| We should have one-day voting. | ||
| We should have paper ballots, we should have voter ID, and we should have proof of citizenship. | ||
| Please. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Locked in. | ||
| No, the gentleman in back. | ||
| For who? | ||
| You're going to have to talk louder, sir. | ||

Thank you. | |
| Elon. | ||
| He's a very different kind of a guy. | ||
| He's a very big believer in the country, but he's very worried about the country. | ||
| He's very worried about the country. | ||
| And I don't know if it's good for him politically to have supported me, although I think we have a vast majority of this country does support me. | ||
| But Elon, more than almost anybody I know, I mean, he loves this country. | ||
| He loves the concept of the country. | ||
| But like me, he says this country is in big trouble. | ||
| It's in big, it's in tremendous danger. | ||
| Okay, please. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| or the fire and the community. | ||
| I like this guy. | ||
| I like him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| The polls have suggested. | ||
| There are some polls that say we're going to win in a landslide. | ||
| People are voting with their stomachs, meaning they're going to the grocery store. | ||
| They're paying 50, 60, 70 percent more for food than they did just a couple of years ago. | ||
| Look at what's happened to... | ||
| Energy. | ||
| Look at what's happened, not only to their cars, where gasoline's gone from $1.87, $1.87. | ||
| And we had moments when it was below that. | ||
| But it's gone from $1.87 to $5, $6, and $7. | ||
| And they take the Strategic National Reserves and they take it out, even though it's peanuts compared, it doesn't last long. | ||
| But they're virtually empty now. | ||
| We've never had it this low. | ||
| And he's using that to keep the gasoline prices as low as possible. | ||
| He's sucked all of the oil out, essentially the gasoline, to keep the price down a little bit. | ||
| And it's had very little impact. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| We have no strategic national reserves now. | ||
| He's emptied it. | ||
| It's almost empty. | ||
| It's never been this low. | ||
| And I had it at a good level. | ||
| And I would have had it more if the Democrats would have approved the deal. | ||
| You know, I had a deal to buy it at $22 a barrel. | ||
| And now it's going to be close to 100 pretty soon, in my opinion. | ||
| And the Democrats didn't want to do that, but we bought a lot anyway. | ||
| And we had it pretty good. | ||
| And what they've done to the National Reserves, the Strategic National Reserves, as you know very well, because you cover it, but what they've done is incredible. | ||
| They've just, for the sake of getting some votes, for the sake of having gasoline, you know, that's meant for wars. | ||
| It's meant for, like, tragedy. | ||
| It's not meant to keep a gasoline price down so that somebody can vote for Biden, or in this case, Kamala, who, by the way, is worse than Biden. | ||
| And she's actually not as smart. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| She's actually not as smart. | ||
| That's hard to believe, isn't it? | ||
| Yeah, please. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Sure, you could do things that would supplement, absolutely. | ||
| And those things are pretty open and humane. | ||
| But you have to be able to have a vote. | ||
| And all I want to do is give everybody a vote. | ||
| And the votes are taking place right now as we speak. | ||
| There are many things on a humane basis that you can do outside of that, but you also have to give a vote and the people are going to have to decide. | ||
| Okay, yes, please. | ||
| On what? | ||
| No, I think she's actually not as smart as he is. | ||
| I don't think he's very smart either, by the way. | ||
| I'm not a big fan of his brain, but I think that she's actually not as smart as he is. | ||
| Not a big fan of his brain. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, she's a woman. | |
| She represents certain groups of people, but I will say this. | ||
| When people find out about her, I think she'll be much less. | ||
| And I see it right now. | ||
| I see her going way down to the polls now. | ||
| Now that people are finding out that she destroyed San Francisco, she destroyed the state of California along with Governor Gavin Newsom. | ||
| He's been a terrible governor. | ||
| Terrible. | ||
| But they did it together. | ||
| And she was early. | ||
| I mean, she was the first of the prosecutors, really. | ||
| Now you see Philadelphia, you see Los Angeles, you see New York, you see various people that are very bad. | ||
| But she was the first of the bad prosecutors. | ||
| She was early. | ||
| Who? | ||
| Would you repeat that, please? | ||
| No, you. | ||
| Would you repeat what she said? | ||
| You have to speak up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This room is very louder. | |
| Do you hear her? | ||
| A daily press briefing? | ||
| Why would I do that? | ||
| I would give you all the press briefings you want. | ||
| Look what I'm doing here. | ||
| But why would I do a daily press? | ||
| You'd get tired of me very fast. | ||
| No, but I will give you total access and you'll have a lot of press briefings and you'll have from me. | ||
| Now, are you talking about from me or from a press secretary? | ||
| Well, yeah, probably they'll do something. | ||
| If it's not daily, it's going to be a lot. | ||
| You'll have more than you want. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, please. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't think it's appropriate for me to talk about it. | ||
| I think it's a tragic story. | ||
| You want to know the truth. | ||
| And I felt that with Hillary Clinton, too. | ||
| You know, with Hillary Clinton, I could have done things to her that would have made your head spin. | ||
| I thought it was a very bad thing. | ||
| Take the wife of a president of the United States and put her in jail. | ||
| And then I see the way they treat me. | ||
| That's the way it goes. | ||
| But I was very protective of her. | ||
| Nobody would understand that. | ||
| But I was. | ||
| I think my people understand it. | ||
| They used to say, lock her up, lock her up. | ||
| And I'd say, just relax, please. | ||
| We won the election. | ||
| I think it would have been horrible for our country. | ||
| And we had her between the hammering of all of the files. | ||
| Don't forget, she got a subpoena from the United States Congress. | ||
| And then, after getting the subpoena, she destroyed everything that she was supposed to get. | ||
| I thought it was so bad to take her. | ||
| And put her in jail, the wife of a president of the United States. | ||
| And then when it's my turn, nobody thinks that way. | ||
| I thought it was a very terrible thing. | ||
| And she did a lot of very bad things. | ||
| I'll tell you what, she was pretty evil. | ||
| But in terms of the country and in terms of unifying the country, bringing it back, to have taken her and to have put her in jail. | ||
| And I think you know the things as well as I do. | ||
| There were some pretty bad acts that she did. | ||
| I think it would have been very bad for our country. | ||
| And a lot of my people, a lot of the MAGA, as they call them, but the base. | ||
| And I think the base is 75% of the country, far beyond the Republican Party, because we're a party of common sense. | ||
| And I'm a person of common sense. | ||
| I want to have low taxes. | ||
| I want to have strong borders. | ||
| I want to have a strong military so that China and Russia, look, they've allowed China and Russia to do the impossible combined. | ||
| They're natural enemies. | ||
| They always have been, because China needs more land and Russia has it. | ||
| They've always been natural enemies. | ||
| And because of Obama, it started with him, and then Biden, because he didn't know what the hell he was doing, they've now become one force. | ||
| And now they're adding Iran to it, and they're adding North Korea to it. | ||
| Pretty powerful force. | ||
| This is something that is unthinkable that they allowed to happen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Oh, it's going to end. | ||
| The honeymoon period is going to end. | ||
| Look, she's got a little period. | ||
| She's got a convention coming up. | ||
| It's about policy. | ||
| It's not about her. | ||
| I think she's incompetent because I've watched her. | ||
| She destroyed California. | ||
| She destroyed San Francisco. | ||
| Everything she's touched has turned to bad things. | ||
| I want to use, I'm not going to use foul language, but everything she's touched has turned bad. | ||
| She's incompetent. | ||
| The reason she's not doing what I do, and she's not doing what she should be doing, she won't even do interviews with friendly people. | ||
| Because she can't do better than Biden. | ||
| Now, he had a reason for not doing well. | ||
| And he was never, 25 years ago, the sharpest or brightest bulb in the ceiling. | ||
| That I can tell you. | ||
| Okay, he wasn't. | ||
| But he could do interviews at least. | ||
| Not lately he couldn't, perhaps. | ||
| But she's... | ||
| She should be doing interviews. | ||
| She doesn't want to do interviews. | ||
| And the reason she doesn't is, number one, her policies are so bad. | ||
| Just to answer your question, I think that it's not going to change because it's really ultimately not about her as much as about her policies. | ||
| She wants open borders. | ||
| She wants to defund the police. | ||
| She wants to defund the police. | ||
| She wants to take away your guns. | ||
| Anybody that thinks they're not going to come after your guns. | ||
| You know, when I was president, I totally protected. | ||
| The guns. | ||
| And I think it's very important. | ||
| And I know I take some heat sometimes for it. | ||
| But you have to have safety. | ||
| You have to have... | ||
| When the bad guy walks in with a gun, you've got to have some way of protecting yourself. | ||
| And boy, that would be... | ||
| You would see crime go up at levels that you've never seen. | ||
| When people say on the side of the house, this house has guns. | ||
| We will use the guns. | ||
| They say, let's pass. | ||
| We'll go someplace else. | ||
| You have to have them. | ||
| True! | ||
| And for four years, and you know, as you know, the NRA endorsed me very powerfully every time I ran, every time. | ||
| My sons are members, and I guess indirectly I'm a member too, but they gave me the strongest of endorsements, and that's against very strong competition, people that, you know, felt the same way. | ||
| No, you have to have that right. | ||
| Our Second Amendment is a very important right, and it has to be protected. | ||
| Okay, how about you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go ahead. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| So there are some of the most brilliant people on Wall Street that are saying that if President Trump doesn't win, you're going to have a depression. | ||
| I happen to agree. | ||
| I think that's true. | ||
| Because I know how bad these people are. | ||
| You know, they like to say that they did this and that. | ||
| You saw the seven trillion that they said it was me for seven trillion. | ||
| It wasn't me. | ||
| It was them. | ||
| They said that I had inflation. | ||
| They took over 9% inflation. | ||
| No, no, I had 1% inflation. | ||
| I had actually no inflation, because if you look at the categories, we had just about no inflation. | ||
| But I had a very minor, I actually had a positive inflation. | ||
| It was a perfect number, because you don't want zero. | ||
| I mean, I'm not going to give you a whole course on economics, but you don't want zero. | ||
| 1%, 1.4% is great. | ||
| You want a little bit, because you don't want to have deflation. | ||
| In many ways, even worse. | ||
| I had a perfect number, right around the 1% number. | ||
| It was perfect. | ||
| And to show you, it stayed there for two years. | ||
| And then he did all of the different borrowings that he did. | ||
| And then he did so many things wrong. | ||
| Every time he would do it, I'd say, big mistake. | ||
| And don't forget, they sell hats and they sell stories. | ||
| Trump was right about everything. | ||
| I have been right about a lot. | ||
| Yes, Maggie. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, Maggie. | |
| Well, we had a commission like other people do, and it's always complicated and it's always controversial. | ||
| And we had commissions that, and I think of respected people, you know, many of the people on the commission, and they would recommend to me certain pardons for certain people. | ||
| Some people were treated very harshly. | ||
| A fantastic woman, as you know, she served 24 years for being on a phone call having to do with drugs. | ||
| You know who I'm talking about. | ||
| She was great. | ||
| And she had another 24 years to go. | ||
| And it was largely about marijuana, which in many cases is now legalized, okay? | ||
| But we had many very highly regarded people on a commission, and they'd recommend, and they'd put a reason why. | ||
| Some people served time, but they served a lot of time for something that today people wouldn't even serve time by. | ||
| Well, for the most part, I think they did. | ||
| I mean, they did. | ||
| They go through. | ||
| They went through. | ||
| I had a commission. | ||
| It was a very important commission to me and highly respected people. | ||
| And frankly, they came up with some decisions that I wouldn't necessarily agree with, but I did it. | ||
| But I let a lot of people out that had no representation. | ||
| I went to people in jails, in prison that we respected. | ||
| I said, how many of these people should be let out? | ||
| We let out large groups of low-income people. | ||
| That was serving like 40 years for something that today you wouldn't even be put in jail for. | ||
| We had very few people let out because I said I really don't want to let people out where they had a lot of violence, where they had killing, etc., etc. | ||
| And for the most part, we didn't do that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, please. | |
| On defense? | ||
| Federal Reserve? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Well, look, the Federal Reserve is a very interesting thing, and it's sort of gotten it wrong a lot. | ||
| And he's tending to be a little bit late on things. | ||
| He gets a little bit too early and a little bit too late. | ||
| And, you know, that's very largely a gut feeling. | ||
| I believe it's really a gut feeling. | ||
| And I used to have it out with him. | ||
| I had it out with him a couple of times very strongly. | ||
| I fought him very hard. | ||
| And, you know, we get along fine. | ||
| We get along fine. | ||
| But I feel that I feel the president should have at least say in there. | ||
| Yeah, I feel that strongly. | ||
| I think that in my case, I made a lot of money. | ||
| I was very successful. | ||
| And I think I have a better instinct than, in many cases, people that would be on the Federal Reserve or the chairman. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Well, as we legalize it, I start to agree a lot more because, you know, it's being legalized all over the country. | ||
| Florida has something coming up. | ||
| I'll be making a statement about that fairly soon. | ||
| But as we legalize it throughout the country, whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, it's awfully hard to have people all over the jails that are in jail right now for something that's legal. | ||
| So I think, obviously, there's a lot of sentiment to doing that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, please. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, you'll have to ask her that question because she's the one that said it. | ||
| I didn't say it. | ||
| So you'll have to ask her. | ||
| And I very much appreciate that question. | ||
| But you'll have to ask her. | ||
| But I've known her for a long time. | ||
| I actually contributed to her campaign a long time ago because I was a developer. | ||
| I contributed to lots of campaigns of Democrats, Republicans, and some were liberal and some were conservative. | ||
| But you'll have to ask her about that. | ||
| But to me, it doesn't matter. | ||
| But to her, from her standpoint, I think it's very disrespectful to both, really. | ||
| Whether it's Indian or black, I think it's very disrespectful to both. | ||
| To me, it doesn't matter. | ||
| Please, redress, redress. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What is that happening in the community? | |
| Do you deserve a little comfort or a car? | ||
| Yeah, pretty much recovered. | ||
| I'm a fast healer. | ||
| It's a hell of a shot, but I'm a fast healer. | ||
| Yeah, pretty much recovered. | ||
| No, it didn't hit that. | ||
| I got very lucky. | ||
| It just hit the lobe, as they call it. | ||
| Yeah, a little bit. | ||
| Not much. | ||
| On top. | ||
| A little bit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| Well, we're starting that, yeah. | ||
| We are going to start the largest mass deportation in the history of our country because we have no choice. | ||
| It's not sustainable. | ||
| And we are going to start with violent criminals, and we're going to start then with criminals. | ||
| And our local police is going to work with us because they know everything about the people. | ||
| They know their names. | ||
| They know everything about them. | ||
| They know their middle name. | ||
| They know their numbers. | ||
| And as you know, the other side is trying. | ||
| You know, look, for years I wondered, why are they allowing these people to come in at levels like this? | ||
| It was incredible. | ||
| And I said two reasons. | ||
| They're either really stupid, and I don't believe they're stupid, because anybody that can cheat in elections like they cheat is not stupid. | ||
| Or, in the alternative, they have bad motives or they hate our country. | ||
| And I used to think they hate our country. | ||
| But lately I've seen where they're trying to sign these people up to vote. | ||
| And they have to stop. | ||
| They cannot let illegal immigrants vote in this upcoming election. | ||
| One more question. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| One more. | ||
| Make it a good one, please. | ||
| Right. | ||
| We have so many ways of making money in this country. | ||
| We're not going to affect our Social Security. | ||
| We're not changing it. | ||
| And I proved that over four years. | ||
| And we're going to do it. | ||
| It's very unfair to people. | ||
| They spend their life and they're great citizens and they pay in. | ||
| We're not going to charge tax to Social Security, the seniors. | ||
| We're not going to do it. | ||
| We're not going to charge and also tax. | ||
| I say the two things. | ||
| We're going to have no tax on seniors. | ||
| Social Security. | ||
| And we're going to have no tax on tips. | ||
| Very simple. | ||
| And we are a country that has so many different ways to make money. | ||
| We have under our feet more liquid gold, I call it oil and gas, than any country in the world. | ||
| Much more than Saudi Arabia. | ||
| Much more than Russia. | ||
| We have so many different ways we can make money. | ||
| We're not going to hurt our seniors with Social Security. | ||
| And we're not going to charge them tax. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| We should not have sanctuary cities. | ||
| Sanctuary cities is a way of protecting criminals, and we should not have sanctuary cities. | ||
| And if you go to California, and I know it well, I have property out there, great property. | ||
| If you go to California and you ask the people of California, do they like the idea of sanctuary cities? | ||
| They don't like it. | ||
| They're tired of it. | ||
| They're tired of crime. | ||
| They're tired of what's happened to our country. | ||
| Our country's become a crime-ridden mess, and we're going to stop it. | ||
| On November 5th. | ||
| Thank you very much, everybody. | ||
|

|
Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Boom! | ||
| Baby! | ||
| Whoa! | ||
| Locked in. | ||
| Bro was live for an hour and 15 minutes taking questions and he mugged the press. | ||
| I got these young, they got these young, uh, Gen Z who work for me and they're like, you gotta use mugged. | ||
| Mogged is what the kids say. | ||
| This is a mogging Donald Trump just effortlessly is locked in effortlessly. | ||
| There's like very, very, um, man, prize fighter. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Shadow boxing, shadow boxing, easy, easy money. | ||
| Donald Trump is taking the worst questions they could possibly throw at him and just absorbing them, flipping them back around, having some incredible laugh lines. | ||
| My favorite line of the day. | ||
| And then some news. | ||
| I'm a fast healer. | ||
| I'm a fast healer. | ||
| I don't have a great Trump impression. | ||
| I'm a fast healer. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| He showed everybody his ear after being shot. | ||
| President Trump making news saying he's agreed to three. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Boom! | |
| Count them. | ||
| Debates with Kamala Harris. | ||
| Oh, it's great. | ||
| It's what the kids call a mogging. | ||
| He's agreed to these debates, and now he challenges Kamala to come to the microphone and say she agrees, but she can't do that because she's not real. | ||
| She's fake. | ||
| We call her Kami Kamala. | ||
| She's fake with her fake-ass liar, Vice President Tim Awals. | ||
| These people are fake. | ||
| Trump goes, where's Kamala? | ||
| Trump goes, where is Kamala? | ||
| Yesterday, J.D. Vance, we have that clip. | ||
| Oh, we gotta play it. | ||
| Yesterday, J.D. Vance walked up to the press corps and the microphones, and you heard Donald Trump immediately, like, talk about how much he appreciates J.D. Vance doing this. | ||
| J.D. Vance walks up to the microphones outside of Kamala's plane. | ||
| You saw all those mics in front of Trump, and this is what happens when you announce a press conference. | ||
| Those same microphones were out front of Kamala's plane in Wisconsin on a tarmac. | ||
| J.D. Vance lands his plane at the same time and walks right up to them and is like, yo! | ||
| Kamala Harris ain't gonna talk to you, so how about I talk to you? | ||
| Right in front of my new plane with Air Force Two, behind him. | ||
| Oh, it was sweet! | ||
| It was spicy, and it was so delicious. | ||
| Really quickly here, okay? | ||
| Donald Trump compliments J.D. Vance, says J.D. has been hitting it, and I love it. | ||
| They're, like, letting the guy go unleashed. | ||
| Don't F around with J.D. Vance. | ||
| Guy actually signed up for the Marines, served his country, has, like, a 170 IQ. | ||
| He's a smart dude, all right? | ||
| I want to see more J.D. Vance out there. | ||
| He says he's gonna do three debates with Kamala Harris. | ||
| He says that he knows Willie Brown, and Willie Brown didn't like Kamala. | ||
| He says the presidency was stolen from Joe Biden, and that Joe Biden is furious about this. | ||
| He says that, of course, the gas prices, the entire economy, the forever war machine will be fixed when he's back in office. | ||
| And then he says he's a fast healer. | ||
| Will Kamala Harris ever heal from what happened yesterday with J.D. Vance? | ||
| This is the thing that has finally caught Trump's eye. | ||
| They kicked around J.D. Vance. | ||
| And I gotta tell you, J.D. Vance didn't take lightly to it. | ||
| Here's J.D. Vance, a mogging of Kamala Harris, just like Trump doing a mogging of the corporate media, which is an extension of Kamala Harris' campaign. | ||
| Today, J.D. matching the energy. | ||
| I love this new energy from the campaign. | ||
| Locked in! | ||

|
Let's go. | |
| I figured I'd come by and wanted to give a good look at the plane. | ||
| Hopefully it's going to be my plane in a few months, but I also thought you guys might get lonely because the vice president doesn't answer questions from reporters and hasn't for 17 days. | ||
| Have they given you guys an explanation for why she won't take questions from reporters? | ||
| No? | ||
| Nobody? | ||
| Okay, great. | ||
| Well, I hope that you've changed your mind because it'd be good for the American people, and I think it'd be good for you all if you actually ran a real campaign instead of one from the basement with the teleprompter. | ||
| So, have a good one, guys. | ||
| See ya. | ||
| What would you like to hear from her? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'd love her to answer your questions. | |
| I'd love her to just answer what she wants to do and also explain why every single position she has has changed. | ||
| She pretends to be a prosecutor, yet she pretends to be a tough-on-crime prosecutor, and yet here she is, wanting to keep on the police. | ||
| She's the Borders Yard, and yet she's opened up the American Southern border. | ||
| This is a person who has to answer a question from the media, and it's disgraceful that she loves you guys. | ||
| It's also insulting to the American people, but anyway, we're going to go do our event. | ||
| I appreciate you guys being here. | ||
| I wish she paid you some more attention. | ||
| See ya. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, the debates are going to be on fire. | ||
| Oh, we cannot wait. | ||
| Will cackling... | ||
| Communist Kamala and Tim AWOLS agree to debates. | ||
| The ball is in their court. | ||
| This is what the little catfight was this weekend. | ||
| So this weekend, Donald Trump comes up and says, I'm not going to do this debate. | ||
| I agreed to this debate with Joe Biden. | ||
| You changed out the candidate. | ||
| You're not allowed to do that. | ||
| If I decide to go on a date with my wife and I show up and it's Gorlock the Destroyer. | ||
| Or Dylan Mulvaney? | ||
| I'm not going to go on that date. | ||
| You switched out the person. | ||
| I'm not going to do... | ||
| You changed the human. | ||
| So I'm not going to do that, says Trump. | ||
| I will instead do a debate with a live audience. | ||
| Can we get... | ||
| Real quickly, boys. | ||
| Can we get Donald Trump with a live audience? | ||
| Last time Donald Trump was on Fox with a live audience in a real debate was when he said, only Rosie O'Donnell. | ||
| And we'll show you what Donald Trump does with a live audience. | ||
| Maybe a couple of Hillary's best hits in there. | ||
| Donald Trump says, I want a live audience on Fox News on September 4th. | ||
| And he throws down the gauntlet. | ||
| Now, this will be, of course, less than a month from now. | ||
| Kamala Harris screams and cries and whines and says, you're a coward. | ||
| They tell the guy who just literally ate a bullet and got up. | ||
| Blood splatter all over his face. | ||
| They say that he's a coward. | ||
| Literally face down his attacker. | ||
| Like face down death itself. | ||
| Oh, you're too scared of me. | ||
| I'm brat. | ||
| Boom, clap. | ||
| I'm brat. | ||
| Yeah, I don't think Donald Trump is scared of her. | ||
| Donald Trump's saying that Hillary Clinton was way smarter than Kamala Harris. | ||
| This is what Donald Trump said. | ||
| Give me a live audience and put it on Fox News. | ||
| I'm the guy. | ||
| Who's gone through three Republican primaries, won every single one of them. | ||
| They're bruising, bloody Republican primaries. | ||
| I won them all. | ||
| I've gotten hundreds of millions of people in America to have voted for me for president in two presidential runs. | ||
| So hundreds of millions of Americans have voted for me. | ||
| Tens of millions of Republican primary voters have voted for me. | ||
| I am the rightful candidate. | ||
| I make the rules. | ||
| Kamala Harris, you are the fake candidate. | ||
| Nobody voted for you. | ||
| You are illegally installed. | ||
| As Kami Kamala. | ||
| And so Trump should make the rules here. | ||
| This is what happened last time Donald Trump was in front of a live audience on Fox News. | ||
| In fact, this was Donald Trump's first debate question ever. | ||
| Megyn Kelly, this, this is why, this is why Trump wants these terms in the debate. | ||
| You've called women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals. | ||

|
Your Twitter account? | |
| Thank you. | ||
| For the record, it was well beyond Rosie O'Donnell. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm sure it was. | |
| Oh. | ||
| You know, a boy can dream. | ||
| Please, please put Kamala Harris in that situation. | ||
| Please, I'm begging you. | ||
| A live event with Fox News inside of a stadium. | ||
| Put it where the Philadelphia Eagles play. | ||
| Put it there. | ||
| I don't know the name of that stadium. | ||
| Put it there. | ||
| Fill up the stadium. | ||
| Kamala versus Trump. | ||
| Kamala likes to brag about her big crowds that she has when unions bus in all of her people and pay them in cigarettes and chicken sandwiches. | ||
| So, okay, do it. | ||
| Do it inside of a stadium. | ||
| Let people respond. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Last time that Donald Trump was debating, a far left-wing warmonger, bloodthirsty warmonger. | ||
| Inside of a live audience, not a stadium audience, but a small live audience. | ||
| I think there were like 100 people here. | ||
| This happened. | ||
| It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country. | ||
| Because you'd be in jail. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Secretary Clinton. | |
| Boom. | ||
| Shaka-laka, as they say. | ||
| Donald Trump giving the line of the century there, arguably the most important debate line ever given in any debate. | ||
| Donald Trump saying in his press conference, hey, I didn't think it'd be good for the country. | ||
| We've reported that here many times. | ||
| We've had members of Trump's team who worked with him in the White House that advised him coming on this program being like, yo, like Trump didn't think it'd be wise to like viciously go after Hillary. | ||
| Boy, was he wrong, as he just said. | ||
| But that's the way it goes. | ||
| says Donald Trump during his press conference. | ||
| Now, many might have forgotten Donald Trump's best moment in that debate, though, when Donald Trump looked Hillary in the face and said, you are talking about all of these things you wish to change, yet you have been in power. | ||
| You've been first lady, a senator, a secretary of state. | ||
| Working hand in glove, and the Democrats are currently in power, and you're talking about all these things that you need to do. | ||
| Why the hell didn't you do them in an entire lifetime of being on the taxpayer teat? | ||
| Watch. | ||
| And she could have done this years ago, by the way. | ||
| She's a United States. | ||
| She was a United States senator. | ||
| She complains that Donald Trump took advantage of the tax cut. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well... | |
| Why didn't she change it? | ||
| Why didn't you change it when you were a senator? | ||
| The reason you didn't is that all your friends take the same advantage that I do. | ||
| And I do. | ||
| You have provisions in the tax code that, frankly, we could change. | ||
| But you wouldn't change it because all of these people give you the money so you can take negative ads on Donald Trump. | ||
| This is what Donald Trump's going to do to Kamala. | ||
| Kamala Harris is just as much of a parasite, just as much of a barnacle on the boat of the American taxpayer. | ||
| And this federal government, she doesn't hold real jobs. | ||
| She's never held a real job. | ||
| Both Connell Harris and Tim Walz, they've never held jobs in the public sector. | ||
| They've never had to worry about paying a payroll. | ||
| You just turn on the money printing machines. | ||
| They both have worked for the federal government. | ||
| They've never, ever had to stand on their own two feet and do what you and I do every single day. | ||
| How the hell am I going to pay for my grocery bill? | ||
| How am I going to feed my kids? | ||
| Like, how am I going to make payroll? | ||
| How do I build a company? | ||
| How do I start something from scratch? | ||
| How do I succeed? | ||
| How do I cut it in the real world? | ||
| They've never had that concern. | ||
| Their only concern has always been, how can the obesity and glut and slovenliness and waste of the federal government pour into my pocket? | ||
| That's it. | ||
| This is despicable. | ||
| And it's something that Donald Trump, self-made billionaire, can look her in the eye and be like, nope. | ||
| You sit there. | ||
| How dare you? | ||
| You sit there. | ||
| How dare you? | ||
| You sit there and talk about all these things you want to change. | ||
| You're currently the president! | ||
| Because the president is legitimately AWOL. | ||
| Nobody has seen Biden in weeks. | ||
| What the hell is going on? | ||
| So you have Joe Biden, you know, trapped in the bunker at the White House like Natus Fratu in like some coffin. | ||
| And you lock down in the dungeon in the basement. | ||
| Kamala Harris, you're in charge then. | ||
| Because you're next in line. | ||
| Isn't that interesting? | ||
| So why haven't you done any of these things that you talk about? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Me, me, me. | |
| We're going to do this. | ||
| We're going to lower prices. | ||
| You're in charge now! | ||
| Why don't you do it? | ||
| You've been in charge for the last four years. | ||
| And also you've been a federal government parasite your entire life. | ||
| Or a taxpayer parasite. | ||
| Going back to California and being state office in California. | ||
| Attorney general. | ||
| District attorney. | ||
| So where the hell were ya? | ||
| Right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| Just giving some free advice to the Trump team. | ||
| Easy money, as we say. | ||
| Easy money. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, some easy money for Donald Trump. | ||
| Speaking of Kamala's time in California, just real fast, I just... | ||
| We try as hard as we can not to talk during these streams when the principals are on camera, right? | ||
| We don't want to interrupt Trump. | ||
| We don't want to talk over Trump. | ||
| We know you're watching to hear what Donald Trump is saying. | ||
| But this one had me sending. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mr. President, there's been some discussion around President Harris'relationship with Willie Brown, former mayor of San Francisco, and how that might have intersected her career trajectory. | |
| So I'm just wondering if you followed that discussion at all, and that involved. | ||
| Well, I know Willie Brown very well. | ||
| In fact, I went down in a helicopter with him. | ||
| We thought maybe this is the end. | ||
| We were in a helicopter going to a certain location together and there was an emergency landing. | ||
| This was not a pleasant landing. | ||
| And Willie was he was a little concerned. | ||
| So I know him pretty well. | ||
| I mean, I haven't seen him in years. | ||
| But he told me terrible things about her. | ||
| But this is what you're telling me anyway, I guess. | ||
| But he had a big part in what happened with Kamala. | ||
| But he, I don't know, maybe he's changed his tune, but he was not a fan of hers very much at that point. | ||
| All right, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| This is what President Trump had to say about... | ||
| Kamala's old boyfriend, Willie Brown. | ||
| There's even photos of them kissing. | ||
| Willie Brown, spoken with the Los Angeles Times, being like, yeah, I appointed Kamala. | ||
| Yeah, she was my side chick. | ||
| This is how it worked. | ||
| Go read the article. | ||
| Don't come for me. | ||
| Go talk to Willie Brown. | ||
| Willie Brown's done a bunch of interviews about this. | ||
| I gave her a Mercedes. | ||
| I gave her a BMW. | ||
| I put her on these committees. | ||
| I was married at the time. | ||
| But yeah, she was my girlfriend. | ||
| So, what do you want? | ||
| Like, I'm a little, I'm sorry. | ||
| So we're, we are supposed to ignore those interviews where you can go and read them at the New York, at the New York Times, LA Times, I know for sure. | ||
| New York Times, I don't know. | ||
| But LA Times, I know for sure there's a long interview with Willie Brown where he talks about Kamala Harris and talks about this relationship. | ||
| We're supposed to ignore that, but you're able to make up the most salacious lies about President Trump and his sexual activity? | ||
| Or J.D. Vance? | ||
| You're able to, you're just manufacturing conspiracy theories about these two men? | ||
| And we're all supposed to believe that? | ||
| No! | ||
| You don't get to have it either way. | ||
| Both ways. | ||
| You don't get the, have your cake and eat it too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-uh. | |
| No, no. | ||
| No cake for you. | ||
| No soup for you. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, we love this clip of President Trump saying that he's a fast healer, showing everybody the scar on his ear. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, pretty much recovered, yeah. | ||
| I'm a fast healer. | ||
| It's a hell of a shot, but I'm a fast healer. | ||
| Yeah, pretty much recovered. | ||
| I wish people had asked about the Secret Service and the reforms of the Secret Service. | ||
| At least you got a question about it. | ||
| I mean, the guy was shot in the head like 20 days ago. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| A fast healer. | ||
| I guess that's sort of the end-ringing note here. | ||
| Kamala Harris has an illegitimate campaign. | ||
| She illegitimately stole the presidency from Joe Biden and stole all of his money. | ||
| Joe Biden's apparently fuming about this. | ||
| Joe Biden's apparently very angry about this. | ||
| And there's some rumblings that Joe Biden may try and steal it back. | ||
| We'll see how that goes. | ||
| But this is a moment. | ||
| Where there's going to be a sugar high for Kamala Harris. | ||
| But the fundamentals are still true in this race. | ||
| Kamala Harris is going to then absorb all the fundamentals that were collapsing Joe Biden. | ||
| And people weren't voting for Joe Biden, not because of his, you know, not because it was old or senile. | ||
| Everybody's known about his senility and known about his age forever. | ||
| That was an issue in 2016. | ||
| It was an issue in 2008. | ||
| You can go find a funny Robin Williams stand-up comedy about Robin Williams making fun of Joe Biden's senility 15 years ago. | ||
| This is not why suddenly Joe Biden was very unpopular and losing to Trump. | ||
| It's not that. | ||
| Everyone's known about that. | ||
| The reason Joe Biden was losing to Trump was because of the fundamentals. | ||
| Because of what Joe Biden has delivered as a candidate and as a president. | ||
| Resident of the White House. | ||
| And that's everything sucking all of a sudden. | ||
| Everything from wars to open borders to our currency, steep and total decline to our economy, $35 trillion. | ||
| Houses are unaffordable. | ||
| Groceries are unaffordable. | ||
| Gas is unaffordable. | ||
| Everything's unaffordable. | ||
| It's the economy, stupid. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Duh. | |
| And those fundamentals are passed to Kamala. | ||
| You're not able to put the toothpaste back in the tube. | ||
| It's out. | ||
| And so now you're starting to see Trump pulling away again in the polls. | ||
| And there was this sugar high, right, of Kamala Harris. | ||
| You can always sell something to idiots. | ||
| There are a lot of smooth-brained, very low-IQ people, very emotionally stunted people on the left who are living out their little childhood fantasies through whatever annoying propaganda they get hooked on. | ||
| They're not real people, okay? | ||
| But anyway, Kamala is their high fructose corn syrup of the moment. | ||
| And so you see this artificial, completely fabricated bump in the poles. | ||
| And now it's all collapsing back to earth because the fundamentals remain the same. | ||
|

|
Thank you. | |
| Through all of this, President Trump has released some brand new ads, which we really, really like, and have shown sort of a tone shift in the campaign from doom and gloom of Biden to, like, Trump-level optimism for the future we may have if we get Donald Trump back in office. | ||
| This is the model. | ||
| This is what we want to see. | ||
| Donald Trump agreed to three debates. | ||
| Donald Trump calling Kamala Harris on the carpet. | ||
| Donald Trump saying, where's Kamala? | ||
| I'm doing the press conferences here. | ||
| Donald Trump releasing ads like, run, boy, run. | ||
| This is the vibe of the campaign. | ||
| Here, check this out. | ||
| This is a brand new one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is a brand new one. | |
| With your support, we will go on to victory, the likes of which no one has ever seen before. | ||
| We will evict crooked Joe Biden from the White House, and we will take back our country on November 5th, 2024. | ||

Thank you. | |

| Donald Trump releasing an ad yesterday narrated by none other than Ronald Reagan. | ||
| We've been calling for this for a while. | ||
| Here it is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Please welcome President Ronald Reagan, who has a few questions for you. | |
| All of you will go to the polls who stand there in the polling place and make a decision. | ||
| I think when you make that decision, it might be well if you would ask yourself, are you better off than you were four years ago? | ||
| Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was four years ago? | ||
| Is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was four years ago? | ||
| Is America as respected throughout the world as it was? | ||
| Do you feel that our security is as safe, that we're as strong as we were four years ago? | ||
| If you don't think that this course that we've been on for the last four years is what you would like to see us follow for the next four, then I could suggest another choice. | ||
| President Trump. | ||
| He'll make America great. | ||
|

|
Again. | |
| Come on, man. | ||
| That is so awesome. | ||
| That is the vibe. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| I love the photo. | ||
| I love the photo of Trump himself there at the end with Ronald Reagan. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Dude, that's it. | ||
| And check this out. | ||
| This is hot off the presses, the photo of President Trump. | ||
| Got it loaded right here. | ||
| Photo of President Trump at that press conference. | ||
| Ooh, boy. | ||
| Something we couldn't see. | ||
| You can see all of the reporters there in the room. | ||
| You got reporters right here. | ||
| Got reporters right there. | ||
| Kamala could never. | ||
| Kamala. | ||
| Where is Kamala? | ||
| Where's Kamala? | ||
| I don't even know. | ||
| Where is Kamala? | ||
| Look at all these slobs. | ||
| These guys look like maybe supporters or friends of Trump. | ||
| And they're standing there, and they're asking him questions. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| The man in the arena, ladies and gentlemen. | ||

| We'll be here for you. | ||
| We are fighting back for you, and we are bringing you into the arena. | ||
| Brian Mass, an incredible member of Congress, who was on this program before Trump popped on, talking about being in the arena. | ||
| A veteran. | ||
| And if you think about your vote, think about what those people who were willing to sacrifice their lives for you were willing to do in theaters of war and what they have to say about the cowards on the other side. | ||
| Remember, like, it's only ever worth asking the question, do you have beliefs that you're willing to die for? | ||
| President Trump's proved that. | ||
| President Trump's taken more bullets than Tim Walz. | ||
| President Trump's been shot at more than Tim Walz in his 25 years. | ||
| In the National Guard, Tim Walz deployed to a war zone. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| See ya. | ||
| I'm out. | ||
| The moment that they actually, he gets called to the field of battle. | ||
| Tim Walz, see you later. | ||
| Nope, baby. | ||
| No. | ||
| Vote for people who are willing to die for what they believe in. | ||
| The times are dire and the hour is late. | ||
| So ensure that your country is protected. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, that's how we fight. | ||
| We have one special little gift for you, which is our favorite ad of all time that has been produced for President Trump. | ||
| And this is the ad narrated by Tucker Carlson. | ||
| Kind of explains everything. | ||
| It's level. | ||
| It's legend tier here. | ||
| And this is how we'll close out. | ||
| It's your boy, Benny. | ||
| See ya. | ||
| Millions of Americans sincerely love Donald Trump. | ||
| They love him in spite of everything they've heard. | ||
| They love him often in spite of himself. | ||
| They love Donald Trump. | ||
| Because no one else loves them. | ||
| The country they built, the country their ancestors fought for over hundreds of years, has left them to die in their unfashionable little towns, mocked and despised by the sneering halfwits with finance degrees, but no actual skills, who seem to run everything all of a sudden. | ||
| Whatever Donald Trump's fault, he is better than the rest of the people in charge. | ||
| At least he doesn't hate them for their weakness. | ||
| Donald Trump, in other words, is and has always been a living indictment of the people who run this country. | ||
| That was true four years ago, when Trump came out of nowhere to win the presidency, and it's every bit as true right now. | ||
| Trump rose because they failed. | ||
| It's as simple as that. | ||
| If the people in charge had done a halfway decent job with the country they inherited, if they cared about anything other than themselves, even for just a moment, Donald Trump would still be hosting Celebrity Apprentice, but they didn't. | ||
| Instead, they were incompetent and narcissistic and cruel and relentlessly dishonest. | ||
| They wrecked what they didn't build. | ||
| They lied about it. | ||
| They hurt anyone who told the truth about what they were doing. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| We watched. | ||
| America is still a great country, the best in the world, but our ruling class is disgusting. | ||
| A vote for Trump is a vote against them. |
