Episode 5208: President Trump Live In Hebron Kentucky
President Trump rallies in Hebron, Kentucky, citing 70,000 construction jobs and the end of EV mandates while praising coal as clean energy. He claims to have saved 74 power plants, announced a $1.5 billion uranium facility in Paducah, and detailed Operation Epic Fury's destruction of Iran's air force. Highlighting reduced inflation and drug prices via TrumpRX, he attacks Rep. Massie as a "nutjob," endorses Ed Galloway, and concludes that America is finally respected again after four years of Democratic mismanagement. [Automatically generated summary]
I love the way a real Kentuckian pronounces it, but if I do, I don't get it.
But I love Kentucky.
More Americans are working today than any time in history, and that number is going to be, when you see the numbers, by the end of the year, we did an excursion.
Do you know what an excursion is?
We had to take a little trip to get rid of some evil, very evil people.
It should have been done for 47 years.
They've been killing our people.
47 years.
47 years, and I can only say this.
They were all prepared.
They're very strong.
You know, they're going to try and take over the whole Middle East.
They were going to knock out Israel.
They don't know what the hell hit them, right?
They don't know what happened.
They got hit by the American military.
They don't know.
They say, what the hell is happening?
They didn't expect anything like this.
To bring down energy costs for American workers and families and businesses like this one.
We ended the Green News scam.
You know the scam?
Greatest scam in American history.
Well, maybe the election results of the second election were.
I would say the electr, what was the greater scam, the Green News scam or the 2020 rigged election?
I would say the 2020.
I think the election.
I think the election, but what difference?
But the main thing is, we said, get out and vote.
We're going to do it again.
And we're going to make it too big to rig.
And that's what we did.
We got the highest vote in history.
We didn't need that big.
We made it too big to rig.
We terminated the insane electric vehicle mandate where you were mandated.
And I like electric cars.
I think they're great.
I like Elon.
I said, Elan, look, not everybody wants an electric car.
And I like him.
And it's a great product, everything, but they have to have, we ended the mandate.
We ended the mandate.
Now you can have gasoline, you can have hybrid, you can have whatever the hell you want.
You can have electric.
They wanted you to buy an electric car by 2030.
The only one problem.
You can't charge it.
You ever see a charger?
Problem.
You ever see a charger?
Probably you can't charge it.
You ever see a charger?
You drive it down.
And they say electric charging plant 150 miles.
That's a bad feeling.
They kept saying clean, beautiful coal.
Clean, beautiful coal.
Clean, beautiful.
And after about like 40 times, I said, wait a minute, just say coal.
It's too much.
It's too much.
But it's clean, beautiful coal, and it's back, and it's roaring back.
You know, it's interesting.
China uses a lot of coal.
China is very smart.
They use coal.
What they don't use much of, if at all, are windmills.
So they make all the windmills and they sell that garbage to us.
Round and round it goes, keeps losing money.
Every time it goes around, it loses $25.
That's a lot, you know.
And kills a lot of birds.
Kills them all.
You know, if you shoot a beautiful bald eagle, they put you in jail for five years.
Windmills kill them by the thousands.
Okay, figure that one out.
Last year, I took action to save 74 coal power plants from crushing restrictions and regulations.
They were putting them out of business.
They would have forced them to shut down, including four plants we saved right here in Kentucky.
And some of the people that work at those plants are here with us now.
It's very powerful.
And it is now with modern equipment, clean, beautiful, but it's a very powerful fuel.
It's very powerful.
And if it wasn't China and some of these other big behemoths would not be using it.
They use it because it's powerful, very, very powerful.
The wind, you know, you're watching television and you want to watch.
And your beautiful wife, our first lady, says, I'm sorry, darling, you can't watch tonight.
The wind has gone down and we have to watch myself on television.
I want to watch myself debate.
She says, I'm sorry, darling, we have absolutely no energy.
There's no wind tonight.
What a scam.
That's a pretty big scam.
That's one of the top.
I say that's the top five.
It's about five that are real beauties.
I also announced a lease agreement for $1.5 billion of private sector uranium enrichment facility in Paducah.
Paducah.
And as we take decisive action to stop the threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran with Operation Epic Fury.
Is that a great name?
Well, it's only good if you win.
You know, you can only do it.
And we've won.
Let me say, we've won.
You know, you never like to say too early you won.
We won.
We won the best.
In the first hour, it was over.
But they gave me a list of names of generals.
Sir, you can pick the name you'd like, sir.
I said, the name of what?
The name of the attack on Iran, sir.
And they gave me like 20 names, and I'm like falling asleep.
I didn't like any of them.
Then I see Epic Fury.
I said, I like that name.
I like that name.
And my administration, as you know better than anybody, is also working to keep the oil flowing.
It's flowing all over.
We knocked out, you know, they wanted to drop some mines.
Very friendly people, mines, so boats blow up.
And we knocked out, as of, you know, every hour I have to change because they knock them out so fast, I've never seen anything.
By the time I'm finished speaking, they'll be gone.
These people work very fast.
But I'm pleased to report that earlier today, the International Energy Agency agreed to coordinate the release of a record 400 million barrels of oil from various national petroleum reserves around the world, which will substantially reduce the oil prices as we end this threat to America and this threat to the world.
We don't want to leave early, do we?
We got to finish the job, right?
Over the past 11 days, our military has virtually destroyed Iran.
Tough country.
Their Air Force is gone, totally gone.
That took the better part of about three hours.
They no longer have radar.
They don't have anti-aircraft equipment.
They don't have anything.
Their missiles are down 90%.
Their drones are down 85%.
We're blowing up the factories where they're made left and right.
And frankly, nobody has ever seen anything like it.
Nobody's ever seen anything like what you're witnessing now.
And that can include the original killing of Salome and Al-Baghdadi, two of the worst killers in the world that I did, as well as Operation Midnight Hammer, where we totally obliterated Iran's nuclear potential.
We obliterated it.
They don't have nuclear potential.
And then during, after Midnight Hammer, and then we left.
We figured that'll be the end of them for a while.
But they started again.
That's why we got to finish it, right?
We don't want to go back every two years.
Because, you know, there'll be someday when you don't have me as president.
You'll have perhaps, perhaps, perhaps you'll have a weak, pathetic person like we've had in the past, mostly all.
Like Barack Hussein Obama, who signed one of the worst deals ever with Iran, where they were going to give up everything.
Remember when he filled up a 757 with billions of dollars of cash and sent it to Iran?
Anyway, he admitted he has mental problems, that he's not a smart person, that he has a mental lack of ability.
He's unable to read a speech, he can't read.
And all of the other things he said, he said he has a lot of mental problems.
And I was attacked by a reporter that said, well, what's wrong with that?
I said, nothing's wrong with it, but I don't want the President of the United States to have a cognitive deficiency.
Right?
And when he admitted this, I said, I think he just lost the Democrat nomination.
What do I know?
But you know what?
I'm for everybody.
But you know, when it comes to president, you got to be sharp.
You got to be sharp as hell.
One of the greatest victories we have achieved for hardworking Americans with the help of our great Republican majorities in Congress is no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, and as I told you before, no tax on overtime, which affects you.
800,000 Kentucky seniors.
And every Democrat voted against it.
So remember, and they'll terminate it.
If they take power, they'll terminate it.
800,000 Kentucky.
So you have, think of that, you have no tax on Social Security.
800,000 seniors, and they will end it.
We've got to win the midterms.
We also made interest on auto loans tax-deductible, first time that's ever happened, but I did put a little proviso.
The car has to be made in America for you to get it.
Our tax cuts are projected to raise incomes in the Commonwealth by $5,400, boost household take-home pay for you by nearly $10,000, and protect more than 84,000 Kentucky jobs at a minimum.
And some of the jobs we're creating or protecting are right here at Verse Logistics.
I wish I could have gone before him, Mr. President.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to share our experiences, how your economic policies and the one big, beautiful bill have positively impacted our employees, company, and family.
As mentioned in your earlier comments, the no-tax on overtime will greatly benefit our employees, producing an average of $1,400 additional take-home pay per year per person.
With this amazing benefit, the savings they will realize can be used to take a family vacation, provide further education for their children, pay bills, or make a down payment on a house or car.
Our family and companies have a mission of giving back to our communities.
The savings from the lower tax rates and permanently full expensing of equipment will allow us to invest back in our local communities of supporting nonprofit organizations and providing educational scholarship money for students attending local high schools and colleges.
Many of our verse family owners and members who are with us today understand how vital the extension of the estate tax credit exemption is for the continuity and succession planning of our great family business.
Our sweat and equity are tied to this building, many others, and our business.
Without this extension, it is possible our thriving business would one day need to be sold to pay family estate taxes.
President Trump, this is all possible because of your vision to make America great again.
On behalf of our family, company, and employees, we want to take this opportunity to welcome you to Northern Kentucky and the Cincinnati region.
You are in the heart of Kentucky, home of bluegrass, faster horses, and the best damn bourbon in the world.
You are in Trump country right now.
Wrapping this up, if we can just take a pause, and I'm going to say a quick little prayer for President Trump, if I could.
May God bless and keep you healthy and safe.
And may God bless our beloved United States of America and everything it stands for.
My name is Sammy Biddle, and I am a general manager and bartender at a local distillery in New York City in Newport, Kentucky, called Pensive Distilling.
And like most servers and bartenders, a big portion of my annual salary comes from working double shifts and tips.
A big dream of mine has always been to save up enough money to buy a nice piece of land and eventually build a home on that land.
And this year, due to our president's no taxes on tips and overtime policy, I got more year-end taxes back than I ever have, which has helped me get that much closer to my American dream.
So millions and millions of Kentucky families have more money in their pockets thanks to what we did with respect to tax cuts.
And I just described what every single Democrat in Congress voted against it.
Every single one, not one voted for it.
They won tax increases along with just one Republican voted against.
You know what the name is?
He is the worst person.
His name is, what the hell happened?
How did he ever end up in Kentucky?
His name is Thomas Massey.
How did he ever end up here, Paul?
Anyway, no, Massey voted against tax cuts for seniors.
He voted against tax cuts for overtime workers.
And he voted against tax cuts for earners, tip burners.
No, he wanted to increase the taxes.
He voted with the Democrats.
He voted against our historic funding for border security.
He voted against border security, where we took the worst border in the history of our country, made it the best border in the history of our country in two and a half months.
He voted against it.
And he voted against eligibility verification for welfare recipients.
Nobody has to be eligible.
Just pick up whatever you want.
The people in this room don't like that.
Thomas Massey also voted with the radical left Democrats in Congress to keep the federal government shut down during the open border crusade while our military went without pay.
He voted for a military not to get that pay.
And now Massey, he's the worst.
And I don't say that, I never hit a guy like this.
The guy's the votes.
He just, we call him Rand Paul Jr.
He votes against everything.
But at least I like Rand a little bit.
Ted love a guy that votes.
I got him elected twice.
If I didn't endorse him, he was not going to get elected.
Do you remember that?
I came and I did a little rally, and Rand votes against us all the time too.
But at least he's okay.
I wouldn't say the greatest.
And now Thomas Massey is attacking a great Navy SEAL hero.
This is a real hero, Ed Galrine, who's running against him in the primary.
You know why?
Because he's not doing right for our president.
He didn't want to run for office.
He's a hero.
He's a farmer, hero.
He's a tremendous war hero.
But he's a farmer right here.
He's like central casting.
I said, this is the guy I'm looking for.
I want to just give me somebody with a warm body to beat Massey.
And I got somebody with a warm body, but a big, beautiful brain and a great patriot.
He's unbelievable.
And he did it because he said he's disrespecting our country.
He votes against everything.
And Ed became an independent a few years ago because he was so angry at the way the Republican Party was operating.
And I don't disagree with him.
Other people did too.
But then Ed came back, and he came back strong because I got involved.
And he came back stronger than he ever was.
And now he's all the way, he's in this party, and he's in it.
And he said, I came back because of the strength and wisdom that Donald Trump displayed.
And I appreciate that.
That's a nice.
I think I'm going to use him in an ad.
I think I'll use that statement.
I'm going to use that statement in an ad.
Strength and wisdom.
I put wisdom in quotes because I didn't say it.
He did.
But many people have joined and rejoined our party, but Massey did not because he only votes no.
He just votes no.
Doesn't matter.
I could give him the best things in the history of a Republican voter, and he'd vote no.
There's something wrong with him.
It'll be interesting to see what he does with the Save America Act, which is very simply, I think he has to vote for it, but he's a nutjob, so you never know.
All voters must show voter ID.
98%.
That's 98%.
All voters must show a little thing called proof of citizenship in order to vote.
ed would you come up for a minute please mr president welcome to kentucky and thanks for coming to the heartland because you are loved and admired here for your courageous leadership of our great nation at such a critical time in history Thank you, Mr. President.
I want to thank you for your endorsement because once you did that, my support skyrocketed.
So I look forward to serving the people as their representative of Kentucky District 4 because as you folks know, you deserve an authentic, true Republican conservative that stands shoulder to shoulder with our president and the Republican Party and against the Democrats who are trying to destroy our nation.
U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. So, Mr. President, I will stand with you and the party to put America first and Kentucky always.
You know, I've done this before, not quite as violently and miserably as this one, but I just can't stand this guy.
But I've had some candidates that weren't great.
They'd get up, they wouldn't talk well.
And I'm trying to beat like an incumbent bad congressman, senator, somebody.
I do it all the time.
In somebody's bed, I try and get them out of office.
I should just leave it alone.
My life would be a lot easier.
But I have usually candidates that don't have what it takes.
This guy is unbelievable.
He is central casting.
Just elect him.
You're going to have no problems with him.
Thank you.
Ed, thank you.
Unbelievable.
That's great.
He's a good man.
With us today are some of the amazing warriors who, unlike Massey, stood up for the working people of this Commonwealth, this great group of people, the people that built the nation, Including a wonderful man who's been with me all the way congressman Andy Barr all the way
He's a good guy and a warrior.
Also with us is a senator who came from really behind.
He really didn't have a good chance of winning.
Was a longtime senator, Democrat that was terrible.
He's running again.
He's terrible.
He was a terrible radical left lunatic.
But Bernie Marino did some job on him, and he won the race, and it was amazing.
Bernie, congratulations.
And thanks as well to CMS Administrator.
You just saw him working, Dr. Mehmed Oz.
He was just working.
Thank you, Dr. Oz.
Director of the Center for Medicare, who's an incredible guy, helped us so much with the reduction in drug prices that you got, the biggest reduction in history.
I watched that whole thing unfold, Nick, and I said, that guy is getting scammed.
And you know what?
He scammed them because what he did was pretty amazing.
Him and his group of friends, he had good loyal friends, Nick, and that's great.
I loved it.
I loved watching what he did.
And another one who's this guy is a piece of work.
He's a very tough cookie.
But instead of fighting like a guy his own size, he goes, he fights a guy who's like 70 pounds bigger, who won, he's like a two-time Olympian champion.
He's this massive guy.
And my friend is a guy named Jake Paul.
And I said, and I'm watching.
I didn't realize there was a slight size variance, like about seven inches and about 70 pounds.
This guy fought like, I tell you what, he is courageous.
He's an incredible guy.
He's got a brand new, beautiful fiancé.
And you're not allowed to use the word beautiful when describing women anymore.
It's the end of your political career, but I'll say it anyway.
What the hell?
She's beautiful.
She just won the Olympic gold medal.
Where is she?
Where's Utah?
Gold medalist.
Boy, I tell you, she's strong.
That means she's strong.
You better be careful.
She's a beautiful person, and she's a big, strong athlete.
I watched her win that gold, and they have an expression.
If that were a fight, they'd stop it, right?
She's great.
But Jake Paul is a great guy.
And, you know, part of the deal is he said, do you mind if I do an interview with you?
I said, Jake, I'm the President of the United States.
I don't do interviews.
Look at Joe Biden.
He went two and a half years without doing an interview because he was shot.
And you have my complete and total endorsement, okay?
No, that's what we want.
He's an incredible guy.
A lot of courage and smarts.
So in four long years, Joe Biden and the Radical Democrats in Congress gave us the worst inflation in the history of our country, driving up prices all across the board.
They left us a mess.
In 12 months, my administration's driven down core inflation down to the lowest level in more than five years.
And in the last three months, inflation was less than 1.7%.
Under our policies, prices for chicken, eggs, cheese, butter, potatoes, and fresh fruit are lower today by a lot than when I took office.
Hotel rates, automobile prices, and rent payments are way down as well.
As a result of my direction to purchase $200 billion in mortgage bonds, a risky boot, perhaps, but not for me.
Mortgage rates are now the lowest in more than five years, and the annual cost of a typical new mortgage is down almost $5,000.
And to help our great citizens afford their American dream, I recently signed an executive order to ban large Wall Street investment firms from buying up single-family homes.
Under my most favored nation agreements for drug prices, we're also slashing drug prices at record levels with price differences of 400, 500, 600, and even 700%.
Can you believe it?
And I got that with the drug companies, and then I had to convince foreign nations that it's not fair.
And I used the word tariff, the beautiful word.
I always said one of my most favorite, most beautiful words.
I used to say it to my favorite word, most beautiful word, and the fake news killed me.
I said, it's my favorite word in the dictionary, the word tariff.
And they killed me.
These guys had a worst.
For decades, Americans have paid the highest drug costs in the world, but now, thanks to our policies, Americans are going to be paying the lowest drug prices paid anywhere in the world.
And these incredible price reductions are available right now at, and I did not name this.
This was done by Dr. Oz and Bobby.
Where's Oz?
He's back with the patient.
See, he stays with the patient.
Where's Oz?
Oz, is it true that I did not name this after myself?
So it's available right now, these really low prices, trumprx.gov.
TrumpRX, and people are using it in record numbers.
He named it, I didn't name it.
I'm not sure I want my name on drug.
Well, drug reduction is probably good, right?
If prices ever go up, I'm going to say, get my name off there.
But they're not going to go up.
They're only going to go down.
Other presidents tried to do it, but all they did was talk.
It was all talk, no action.
I got it done.
I got it done for you.
Got it done for Kentucky.
But it's doing record-type business, right?
Biggest price reduction.
I think it's one of the biggest things to happen in medicine because the prices are just a tiny fraction of what they were.
So Trump RX is a major step toward a larger goal of reducing the cost of health care for hardworking Americans since the passage of the Unaffordable Care Act.
You know what that is?
I love the name.
The Unaffordable Care Act.
Do the Democrats hate me?
I wonder who hates me more, stupid Tom Massey or the Democrats?
I think it's close.
Well, they have Trump derangement syndrome.
If we won that war, which we have basically done, if we won that war in one day, he should have done it faster.
It's unacceptable.
And by the way, if I didn't go in, you know, now they like to complain.
It's hard for them to complain.
That military is so incredible.
But they like to complain.
So let's assume I didn't go in.
I was like every other president.
Oh, no, let them kill people.
Let them get an atomic weapon.
Let them get a nuclear weapon that can destroy the world.
So let's assume I didn't go in.
They'd say, he should be going in.
These are the worst people.
Since the passage of the Unaffordable Care Act, sometimes referred to as Obamacare, named after Barack Hussein Obama.
Have you heard of him?
Big insurance companies have gotten rich with our government giving them hundreds of billions of dollars as their stock prices soared up to 1,700%.
Under my plan, I want to stop all payments to big insurance companies and instead give the money directly to the people so that they can buy their own health care, which will be better health care at a lower cost, Dr. Raj.
