Badlands Media Special Coverage: 9/9/26 - Trump Headlines First Ever Midterm Convention in Texas
About this episode
Trump kicks off the first ever midterm convention in American history from Texas, and true to form, turns a 90 minute speech into a genuine tour through everything: record breaking foreign investment, a proposed $5,000 "Trump dividend" for every adult if Republicans win, renamed lakes and states, and a truly memorable rant about a certain NBA trade. There's the expected roll call of endorsements, Ken Paxton, Michael Whatley, and some pointed, colorful jabs at their opponents, plus a serious, sobering stretch honoring Charlie Kirk on the anniversary of his death and remembering victims of violent crime. Between the applause lines on drug pricing, tariffs, and Iran's dwindling nuclear ambitions, there's classic Trump riffing on everything from Babe Ruth trades to correspondents dinner reporters. It's part rally, part roast, part policy rundown, with a closing call to action that sounds less like campaign season and more like a battle cry.

The badlands, the badlands, the badlands, the badlands. That's a hell of a name. Well, thank you very much, everybody. And Lee, thank you. He's been with me right from the beginning. You know, a lot of singers have wanted to introduce me. Once you win, they want to all introduce you. And I said, no way, nobody's introduced. Only Lee, Lee's the only one going to introduce. Thank you. Great honor. And friends, distinguished guests, vice president vents, and the proud citizens of the United States of America. Welcome to the first ever midterm convention of any party. Thank you. It's a little imagination to think of it, but we thought of it.
I'm sure it'll become a staple in the years to come, but this is the first ever for any party. Too much ago, we came together to celebrate one of the most glorious days in history, the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence. And in 1776, our founders lit the immortal flame of American liberty in Philadelphia. What a time that was tonight. We gather in the great state of Texas. And by the way, I have to brag, it's a state. I won all three times in massive landslides. It got the highest vote. Got the highest vote in the history of Texas politics. Can you believe that?
But we all hold the flame high and carry it boldly forward. We love this state, and we love this country. That's all we can say. But what an honor it is to be in Texas. What a place. What a place. Love it. With your support, we will make our nation stronger, safer, richer, freer, and greater than it has ever been before. It's what's happening. You know, that's what's happening. I wish the fake news would report it. There they are. Boy, that's a lot of fake news. That's a lot of fake news. You have to remember, when we originally announced this eight weeks ago, they said, who's going to go to a midterm convention? That's never going to this place. This pack. That's a big pack. That's a big pack. That's a big pack. That's a big pack. And not only is this pack is a big arena. Not only is this pack, but you have an equal number of people standing outside.
If anybody would like to give up their seat or whatever, if they're standing or have a seat, would anybody like to raise your hand to give up your seat? I thought so. Now we have an amazing response. They love our party. They love what we're doing. In 55 days, Americans will be going to the polls in one of the most important elections in our country's history. Your vote will decide whether our country stumbles at the starting gate of the next 250 years or surges forward and never, ever looks back. We hand America's future to the radical left Democrats. And our nation will spend the next decade just getting back on its feet. It will be a tragedy. Vote Republican. And we will leave the world in our dust for generations to come. There'll be nothing like it.
We're right at that gate. We're right at that gate. We're right at that gate. The choice in this election is very, very simple. Democrats are asking you to vote for their fail far left agenda. It's never work that destroyed your finances and delivered. You four years of disaster, bedlam, and death under sleepy Joe Biden. And I'm asking you to let us finish the job we began with the greatest two years in the history of the presidency. This has been the most successful two years financially and every other way in the history of the presidency. And together we will turn a two-year comeback into a 250-year
lead. We're never, nobody's ever had a start. It's not even two years, but we have more money being spent from outside countries and companies over $20 trillion. That's five, six, seven times higher than any country. You have not just here any country ever. 20 over 20. Remember I've been saying 19.2, but now it's over 20 for less than two years, substantially less than two years. When the two-year number comes out, that number could be $25 trillion being invested here, the record, by the way. Thank you, but over 20 trillion, the record, by the way, is another foreign land. You probably know the land I'm talking about. In fact, the head of that land will be coming to the White House in two weeks, three trillion.
So three trillion versus 20 trillion, but the 20 trillion after two years is going to close to 23, 24, 25. Nobody's ever seen anything like it ever, and it probably will never happen again. And I want you to remember me in four or five years when this country is rocketing. Remember, I'm the one that got it started. I'm going to. I'm going to. You know, they are right. Oh, look who we have. Front row jobs. Look at them. Wow. That's great. And we have the great ladies from North Carolina. So they've been to 217 rallies. They're beautiful. They have wonderful husbands. But I never see the husbands. I think you're driving the husband's crazy.
Now they've been fans right from the beginning of our policy. I guess they like me, but of our policy. And front row jobs. It's number 412, I think. What do they do for a living? They make a lot of money, I think. But you guys are fantastic. Thank you very much. And we have a special guest, Mr. Wall. I want to get a suit like that. Someday I'm going to go out and get a suit like that. Where do you get it? The walk up here. Because we built over. I think of this. We built over 1,400 miles of wall right on your Texas border. 1,400. And because of that, we have the great. The greatest numbers ever on immigration. We stopped it cold. It was a disaster. It was destroying our country. But we'll get on to that. When I'm in the ticket, Republicans always do very well. We won the presidency three times. And we won't.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. By the way, now you notice numerous people on the other side are actually admitting it. How about that? But this was a cool way of doing it. But we won it big. And we also won everything else. Because whatever it is, I was on the ticket. People came and they did tremendously with the senators and with the congressman. But for some reason, when a president wins, even if he's really a good president or a great president, there aren't too many of them. They don't win the midterms. And nobody quite knows why. It's too out of, think of it. Too out of 25 races, we're going to change that. There's no reason for it. There's no reason for it. It's something deep down and psychological. You're going to have to explain it. But I've asked people, what is the reason for it? If you have a president that's doing a great job, I don't think anybody's ever had two years
like we have all over the world they're admitting it. Other countries are failing and failing badly. But I say, why is it that no matter how well you're doing, we seem not a president, Democrat or Republican, almost never wins the midterms. We've got to change that because we have something going that's so good we can't let that string be broken. So I'm asking you to pretend that I'm on the ballot. I'm on the ballot. I'm on the ballot. Just one more time. Because if we lose, you're going to lose your butter, you're going to lose your tax cuts, you're going to lose your safety and security, you're going to lose your wealth. Our country is going through hell. You will be going through hell just like you did just two years ago. We went through hell. We were a laughing stock all over the world. We were laughing. They don't laugh at us anymore, do they?
They don't laugh. But that's what would happen. The pundits, the fake news, media and the radical left communists will say anything they can to try and stop us. But in this election, all that matters is that we are united, we are together, and what we say counts. That's all that matters. And on November 3rd, the Great American majority is going to stand up and continue to make America great again. And we will make our voices heard, perhaps like never before. That's the beautiful challenge that the midterms are not supposed to be won by the sitting president. And we're going to change that. And we'll make it an even more important time in our country and presidency. It'll be something very special. We have to do it. And we have a very short period of time.
And we really have 35 races. They all count. But we have 35 races that are, I guess you'd call, the swings, like we had seven swing states. We won all seven, right? Now, so I said not that I'm looking for the work. And I said the other day, I've got so much of a schedule. I said, I thought I won. What do I have to do? I'm campaigning. But I am. We're campaigning to make it incredible, to really make it great and to keep it great. So I am going to visit, and you have so many of those great senators that I said, you know, the ones I won here, we have some that are leading by 30 points, and they've been there for 25 years. I said, don't come, please. Don't come. The ones we need are the ones that you've heard. The ones that are very close, they might be winning by a little, or losing by a little, or tied. We can win every one of those races. But I'm going to go to every one of those states for congressmen
and for senators. I'm going to do that. And we're going to have rallies. And we're going to have rallies. Just like this, we're going to have big arenas loaded up with people. So the senators, they're great people. So many, just great people. Their policies are, you know, their common sense. I heard so many of the wonderful politicians that spoke. I watched a lot of them, and they talked about common sense. It's really about common sense more than anything else. It's not about the stupid policies that let us down the drain. We were going down the drain. If we hadn't won the last election, I'm not sure that our country right now would even exist. It was going so bad.
So I'm going to go to every one of them, about 35, in a couple of cases, I'll go twice. And I'll do, I'll do teletown halls. And I'll be coming back to Texas because we have to elect Ken Paxi. We have to. We have to elect him. And if I have to, I'll come back twice or three times. I'll be, you'll say, get this guy out of here. Get him out. You're going to be saying, get him the hell out of here. He's here too much. Now I'll come once or twice or through outcome, whatever we have to elect Ken Paxi. Together, we're going to continue to have, we have the strongest borders now. In the history of our country, we've never had anything. We have to have strong borders. We have to continue low taxes.
I gave you the biggest tax decrease in the history of our country. And no crime. We want no crime. We don't want crime. We'll have American energy independence, something you know a lot about in Texas. And even we will have energy dominance. We will stand with our heroes in the military, our veterans. We love our veterans. And we take care of our veterans. 94% and our great police and law enforcement. We love our police and law enforcement. And above all will, and I think it's so important because there is a crazy little sick cloud over our country. I really believe it's not going anywhere, but we have to make sure because we will defeat communism in America and vote for American freedom. We will just vote very simply for American freedom.
And a big part of that American freedom is going to be electing Ken. We have to elect him. He's really something special. The fact is, and some, and I have to say this about Ken, it's so insulting. And I hope he doesn't get insulted. They said, sure, you can't say that. He said, I have to. They didn't even put it on the teleprompter, but I don't use the teleprompter that much. They said, sir, you can't say it. You just please. It's not good. But I said it once before and you went through the roof. I got to say it again. So they just said how wonderful he is and how we have to. But I said it a little differently because the fact is that some may not like the way he dresses. I don't. Although tonight he looked very spiffy in his blue suit. I must say. But they may not like the way he talks.
I can see that, you know, not everybody. A lot of people don't like the way I talk either, but we do get crowds. There's no question. And then they say, you can't say this, sir, that's so insulting. Please, sir, these are my analysts that get a lot of money for it. Tell them you'll add in nonsense. Here, please don't say it. So I talked about dress. I talked about talk. And I even said this, but you know, some people don't like the way I look either. You may not like the way he looks. But here's the news. In the history of Texas, he is the single greatest attorney general you've ever had. And maybe the top attorney general in the whole United States. So I am very sorry, Kent. I hated it. And I'll go back and say, sir, you shouldn't have said that. You've given them a sandwich. Let me tell you. It's true.
He may not dress right. He may not talk exactly perfectly. And he may not be the best looking guy I've ever seen. But you know what he is? He's the greatest attorney general in America. And he deserves to be your next senator. I'm sorry, Kent. What a hell is he there? I'm so sorry. He'll never speak to me again, but that's okay. We have to. But he's a great guy. And I know for a fact because he fought with us so much. He took us. We have the wall because of him. We have so many victories because of Kent. We didn't have the wall. We'd be overrun instead of having zero. You know, we had zero for the last zero people for the last 16 months. Can you believe it? We had 25 million coming under Biden's zero. But you know what? Without the wall that he was instrumental, along with Greg Abbott, by the way, and by the way.
And by the way, both senators, both senators, see? I'm being very nice. Ted Cruz worked very hard on the wall. And so did John Corden. So did John Corden. They both did. Both senators. We had a lot of support, but without the wall, you know, we built this massive, beautiful, great wall. Beautiful because it works. We could never have the numbers that we have, which is right now. Think of it. And these are made up by Democrats. These people that do these statistics, zero illegal aliens have entered our country from the southern border in the last 15 months. Zero. So the Democrats. So the Democrats, as I call them, that was the other thing they said, sir, don't use.
This is a very important speech. I said, is it of the importance of state of the union? They said, maybe not, although I like this arena very much. But they said, please, please, that you know, state of the union you have to go to state. That's much easier to do than what I do. Believe me, that's easy to do. Ladies and gentlemen, it's an honor to be your president. Thank you. And you do that for about an hour and then everybody's falling asleep. This is a much, this is a much harder routine. Let me tell you, but we're also out here to have a little bit of fun. So and I just came up, I can't believe it's been, I've been doing this for like 10 years. It just came up, which isn't longer to be a president, to be honest with you. A lot of guys over there, they're a hell of a lot longer than that president and my friends. I let them know that all the time, by the way.
But I just came up with it a couple of months ago and I said, you know, you take out the E and you replace it with the U. And nobody knows that dumb has a B at the end of it. Most people think it's, DUM and that's fine. So we take out the E, we replace it with the U and their Democrats because their policy is so bad. It's so bad. And I usually don't like talking about how bad, like for instance, men playing in women's sports, okay? And I don't like to do it much before the election. I like to wait about a week before the election. I'm doing it much too early because I'm petrified that they'll change and they'll say, you know what? It should not be playing in women's sports. And that will really hurt us. That's one of our great sound bites of all time. And I thought after we won in a landslide in the last election, they would change it.
But I saw two senators in a congressman that less week and a half on television fighting like hell for men to play in women's sports. And I hope they continue to do that. They say it's an 80-20 issue. I say it's a 99-1 and I have no idea who the one is. I have no idea. You saw the two great fighters. I was so honored to have them, world champions. And I watched them for a little while. And I was going to ask, Bonickel hasn't been defeated in years. Justin Gagey, who is unbelievable. You saw that fight at the White House. It was the most violent fight. I've said, Justin, Boe, come here a minute. Do you have any fear of fighting a particular woman? They didn't even know what the hell I was talking about. They say, what's wrong with this guy? Ask him, he's such a stupid question. Anyway, we love the women. It's actually very demeaning what they're doing to women if you want to know the problem.
All right, then. So the Democrats gave us the worst and most dangerous border in American history with 25 million illegal aliens pouring in. Can you imagine? 25 million illegal aliens pouring in totally unchecked, unvetted, including gang members, human traffickers, child predators, 1,000, think of this with thousands, 11,800 and 88 murders. And you've heard me say this because that's the exact number. 11,888 murders. Many of whom, over 50 percent, killed more than one person. They allowed them to come in to the country. I guess they think they're going to reform. They're going to be wonderful people. They'll be the head of a bank someday. But today we have the strongest and most secure border in our country's history.
And you saw the numbers. They came out just last week. We have the lowest level of illegal immigration ever recorded in our country. And as I said in the past, exactly 16 months, these are government stats. This is not Donald Trump. This is government. Although I think I have more credibility than government. But in the past 16 months, a historic record of zero done by Democrats, mostly, a couple of Republicans, I guess, but done by Democrats. Zero illegal aliens have been admitted into the United States through your border on Texas in Texas. And therefore, a zero have been admitted into Texas where they used to be running around, running rampant, killing people, destroying many houses and farms and ruining property
values and creating havoc all over the state of Texas. You know that? I watched so often where they're interviewing people on the border and long beyond the border, hundreds of miles away from the border. And their farm, their houses, was overrun. And I saw a program last week where they were interviewing a man who was on a show, one of the shows. I was not going to say because it's a terrible show. On a terrible network, but they're also terrible. You know, they all fake. A lot of fake news. I couldn't believe it. In fact, they're probably going to fire the producer of that segment. They went to them and they said, how was it before? They said it was horrible. I was living in hell. But since President Trump got elected, we haven't had one single incident. Nobody's charging our house. Nobody's holding us up. Nobody's threatening to beat us up. He said it's like, it's a very good segment, actually. He said it's like we're living in a different country between now and two years ago.
And we know that. But we've designated the cartels, as you know, as far in terrorist organization, something which no other president had to encourage to do. And we're using our military force to totally decimate them. You probably noticed that the flow of fentanyl coming across our borders down 67 percent. And fentanyl and other drugs coming in through the oceans and the seas. And most importantly, the Gulf of America. Thank you. By the way, you know, I just put out, because you know Lake Ontario, we're going to call that now Lake America.
Although, maybe it's going to work out. Canada very much wants to make a deal. That's scientific. But it's going to be called Lake America. The other one we came up with today, well, we could go into oceans like the Pacific Ocean or the Atlantic. We can't have both. I don't think you can do both. But we did come up with one the other day, which we think is appropriate. You have a neighboring state, New Mexico. We think it should be called New America, New America. New America. I'll tell you the people of the idea. I don't know about the radical left. I'm sure it doesn't like it, but the people love it. New America. Your neighbor is called New America. But the Democrats very simply put handcuffs on our police, and we put handcuffs on criminals. There's a big difference. And handcuffs are a big difference.
And last year, I think you saw this. We achieved the largest drop in violent crime ever recorded this year by country with the murder rate falling to the lowest level in 125 years, the year 1900. And that's despite the fact that we've removed tremendous numbers of people, and we focus on the bad ones, and we've got some really bad stuff, the worst killers you'll ever imagine. But that's despite the fact that some of these people, so many have come in. Again, we've gotten a lot of them out. I can say most, but soon it will be most of them out. We're working like hell to get them the hell out of here. But that's despite the lowest murder. Rate since the year 1900, that's big stuff. That's long before my father was born. I had a great father who was born after that number. He never liked talking about age.
So he's looking down at me and say, what do you have to mention that for, son? Our predecessors killed and buried the American dream with trillions of dollars in waste and green energy scams, the greatest scams in American history, green energy. They didn't even know most of them had no idea what it was. They just said, let's go green. And every country that's gone green is down the tubes. You do know that. But it caused prices to skyrocket. They used the word affordability. Right? It's fake. They are so fake because it was them that caused the affordability to use their word crisis. And I'm bringing the prices way down, way, way down. They caused the price. But we're fixing it. We're fixing it. Now, my first time, if you remember, I was, I won the election and then January 20th, you take office and I had my first news conference like on January 21st.
And those people right there recognized many of them, the fake news, and they said it's screaming. They started screaming at me. It's the word they use affordability. They said, what about affordability? And I said, what about affordability? They tell me. They said, eggs are up four times since your administration. I said, well, I didn't really know that. And I just got here like today. It's my second day. By the way, through Brooke, who you just saw speak, we got, we got eggs down lower than during my administration. And food prices and almost every other item are rapidly going down. And by the way, oil would be going down as soon as we win the war with the rent, which is taking place right now. We'll win it. We're winning it. We control the hormones straight. I think we should call the hormones straight.
We should call it the Trumps straight. I should get something out of there. The Trump straight. It's going to be called, ladies and gentlemen, I'll have an announcement. We'll call it the Trump straight. And I'm sure the Iranian leadership will be thrilled with that. Obviously. I'd like to tell you what was there, I did, was not there, I did. Don't think they're too happy about it. I don't think they're too happy about anything. Their country is falling apart. They've been the bully of the Middle East for 51 years and they're not the bully anymore. Two years ago, our country was dead. Now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world, hottest in the world. The stock markets, all of them, have set 80 all-time records since the election. So you're talking about a little more than a year and a half, 80 days during that period
of time, the stock market has set an all-time record. And maybe very importantly, for some of the people, though they bear some relationship, the typical Americans 401K has gone up by almost $50,000. And unemployment claims have reached the lowest level ever recorded. I mean, we're doing well. I only wish the fake news would give us credit for what's happening. There's never been anything like it. I told you about the investment. The investment in our country is record, but everything. Right now, in the United States of America, we have more people working than we have ever had before by a lot. By a lot. The last Democrat Congress took thousands of dollars out of your pocket, our Republican
Congress. And by the way, we have, I think we'll go down as the greatest speaker of the House. In the history of our country, Mike Johnson. Now, he's amazing. Think of it. He's got a majority of three. And three of them aren't the best people I will tell you. We just get approving approval. We get more stuff, including the great, big, beautiful, build the greatest, build maybe ever passed. Thank you. Great job. He's a fine person too. And John Thun is here for the Senate. Where's John? Where's John? John is, John is working hard.
He's got great opposition. He's got great opposition from the Democrat, Schumer and these guys are terrible. That great opposition. He's working very hard. He's going to have great success. You watch. You're going to have, we are going to have great, great success with our Republican senators. And by the way, we have great, we have great Republican senators. David, thank you for being here. Eric, thank you for being here. I'm looking at our people over there. Thank you all for being here. We appreciate it. But our Republican Congress puts thousands of dollars into the pockets of working families with the largest tax cuts in the history of our country. So we had the largest in history. We gave you no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on social security for our great seniors. And that's done.
That's done. And we also made interest payments. Think of this. People go out, they buy a car, they borrow money, many people borrow money. And we got tax deductibility of your interest payment all against your income tax. And people are loving it and they're using it. And it's great for our car industry, which is, by the way, setting new records. We're building car plants all over the United States. For 48 years, we've built none. Now we're building them all over. Honda's coming in, building one of the biggest in the world. Toyota is building one of the biggest. General Motors is going wild. Ford has got, they're all doing great. It's like the golden age of America. It's a golden age of the automobile business. But that interest is tax deductible. But what's the caveat? Only if the car is made in America. With the help of our great energy workers here in Texas, our country is producing more oil
and gas today than ever before. Now listen to this. More than Russia and Saudi Arabia combined. How about that? And you remember during the campaign, I love that campaign, it was some. But I love the second one too. I love that one too. But they cheat. We can't let that happen. They cheat. That's why we want to pass the Save America Act to stop the children. And we will. We will. We will.
We will. We have tremendous opposition. Because what they're talking about, they're talking about we want voter ID, voter identification, ideally, ideally, we want it with a photo. So that when I see Kim Scott, who made a great speech tonight by the way, I watch it. Senator Tim Scott. South Carolina. So when he speaks, I won't get him mixed up with let's see who's over there with Scott Besant. Okay. I want a photo ID. So Tim and Scott don't get mixed up. Now the only reason the Democrats are fighting us on voter ID and you know what the second is? Proof of citizenship. So the only reason they're fighting us is because they want to cheat.
There's no other reason. But you have to admit they're really good at this stuff. They come up with more excuses. They say it's important not to have a voter ID because it's extraordinarily difficult for some people. It's they have more bullshit than any human beings on the planet. So they're fighting us. 100% think of it of the Democrats voted against voter ID and 100% of the Democrats, 100% and you know the Democrat voters actually like it. It pulls at 87% for the whole voting public. 100% of the Democrats voted against all these tax cuts, everything else, but they voted against voter ID and they voted against proof of citizenship.
Like sir excuse me sir. Are you a citizen of the United States? It's not a your business. I'm willing. Can you believe this? 100% and most Republicans, most not quite all. You'll have to check them out, but not quite all. But most Republicans, almost all Republicans voted for it, but we have a huge block. It's the Democrats. They don't want to have voter ID. They don't want to have proof of citizenship. I think it's a disgrace. But getting back to oil. Okay. We you are doing and as I said you, the biggest with now the biggest in the world, we would know where near that. We're the biggest in the world and that's without Venezuela, which we've just added to our little stockpile. It's the biggest oil deal and probably it's the biggest deal in the history of our country.
65 billion barrels or hours and you know what they say it is, lifetime, 500 years and you know, in Venezuela, you know how you find the oil, you know the way exon and chevron, they go around looking, they hire these geniuses, they pay millions of dollars, they spend millions and millions for equipment. They go all over the world looking, they can't find it. In Venezuela, what you do is the following. You look on the ground and you see ground that's soaking wet with oil and you say, let's build our rig right there. There's really nothing like it and we have a great relationship. But by the way, I'd like to thank Pete Hickseth and I'd like to thank General Kane. Where is General Kane? I'd like to thank, they hear some place, is that big room, this place is packed.
Do you think the fake news, you know what they're going to do? The fake news will go around and see that man up there, he's leaving for the bathroom, he'll be back in two minutes, up in a, they'll take a picture of his seat while he's gone. And they'll say, Trump did not fill up the arena, the arena was not filled. Look at the seat. So please, if you don't mind, don't anybody go to the bathroom. Now we had it recently. So, Garline Graham, Lindsey, we loved Lindsey, we looked, Lindsey was a great guy, good guy. And he's looking down at his smiling, but he was a good guy and he has a great sister. But she never did politics before. We had a rally in South Carolina and it was great. It was this really, thank you, right? It was this really big, it was this really beautiful big arena, but it was, you know, more of like a convention area.
And not that big from the standpoint of like this, this is a big Dallas Mavericks team, which is going to be hopefully good. I don't understand, I must tell you, I don't understand the trade. That trade is, that, what do I know about basketball? I would say that was not going to, it's not going to go down as the greatest trade in the history of sports. It might go down as the worst trade in the history of sports. No, actually, okay, you know the worst trade in the history of sports, right? The great Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth, 19 year old pitcher for 36 year old, third baseman and 100,000, I was at that time that was like 10 million I guess, because Boston needed money. So Babe will always be the worst trade. But is it Luca? That's not good, that wasn't good. Maybe we could redo that trade. I redo deals all the time. We got to redo. We got to redo that deal.
I don't get that deal. You know, some deals you understand, I understand deals, but that one I didn't quite get. Somebody from Dallas, I'm sure, can explain it to me. But with Venezuela, Texas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, our great senator, David, thank you. And all of our other incredible states, we're more powerful now than OPEC and prices right after this very important election on November 3rd will be plummeting. The world will be over very shortly after the election. They're hanging out for dear life, hoping that we lose so they can deal with dumb, weak Democrats, and they can have their nuclear bomb. But we're not going to let that happen. So they're going to be quitting or dropping out or who knows what the hell, whatever it is, right after election day, because they want to deal desperately what to do with Democrats.
Like Obama, Barack Hussein, Obama, have you heard of him? Barack Hussein, Obama made a deal, JC, POA, one of the worst deals in the, it was a road to a nuclear weapon for Iran, or sleepy Joe, sleepy Joe gave them everything. They thought they could buy their way into a deal. And instead they used all the money they got to create nuclear weapons and they got very close. And if we didn't hit them, two things. If I didn't cancel the JC, POA, and if we didn't hit them with a beautiful, the wing, our beautiful B2 bombers, they would have a nuclear weapon right now and I would be addressing them as Supreme Leader, Mr. Supreme Leader, sir, how are you? And now I don't have to do that. If they had a nuclear weapon, I'd be calling the Supreme Leader. And I'd be saying, Mr. Supreme Leader, how are you, sir? Is there anything we could do for you? As opposed to bombing the crap out of them.
We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. It's very simple. We cannot let them have a nuclear weapon. You know, I decided to do this. We had the best reports that our country has ever had. And I went to Scott Besent, I went to Howard, I went to all of our guys. I said, you know, I'm sorry to do this to you. We just announced record of stock market, hit records, by the way of stock markets, much higher today than it was when I first did the attack just so you know. But our stock market hit records. We were doing great. And oil was low. I was in Iowa. The oil was at $1.85 a gallon for cars. There was another $1.95, but I saw that last one, $1.85. We were doing great. I called the ball into the office. I said, fellas, I hate to do this to you. We have the best records we've ever had. But we have a country that's two, maybe three weeks away from having a nuclear weapon. And it's the state sponsor of terror all over the world, considered just about the most
evil country we cannot let them have a nuclear weapon. And a couple of them, including Scott, who's a great financial guy, sir, is there any time we could do it later? Maybe, sir. You think you could hold off in this a little bit, sir? I said no, because if we don't hit them now, they're going to have a nuclear weapon within one month, you know, the places we bombed would have been turned into nuclear weapons. I call it nuclear dust right now, but the nuclear dust can get very violent. And we hit them really hard. We did an amazing job. Those B2 bombers came in from Missouri. From Missouri. The home of Eric Schmidt came in from the great state of Missouri. They flew for 37 hours back and forth. They refueled four times up in the air. And they bombed the hell out of them and they knocked them out.
And we may have to do it. There's another place called Pickaxe Mountain, another nice place. We may have to give them a shot there too, because somebody said there was a little movement at the site. We don't need much. We see every, you know, because of Space Force, which was my baby, I have to say, first to our... We can see everything. We can see the tag on their coat, Mohammed Al-Fayat. It's my habit. It's never my habit. It's never Mohammed Jones. Mohammed. My habit, Al-Azure, and it says right on this tag, we can read it from Space. Can you believe this? Thousands of miles away and we're reading somebody's. We know exactly what's going on, but we noticed there's a little activity at Pickaxe. I would advise Iran not to get cute because we will have to hit them very hard. We have no choice. Right?
We have no choice. Does anybody here think that Iran should have a nuclear weapon? Who feels Iran should not have a nuclear weapon? You know, it happens to me all the time. Guys, come up. You know, I wish you didn't do the war in Iran. Gas leans up. And I say, well, let me ask you just smart people. Let me ask you not too many of them, by the way. Let me ask you one question. Can Iran have a nuclear weapon? Absolutely not. Well, then I'm right that I went. Okay. Because, you know, for 51 years, they always say 47, but, you know, I've been saying that for four years. For 51 years, people have been trying to... And other presidents have been trying to talk them out of it, but they don't understand talk these people. They don't understand. They only understand one thing, and that's...they're getting plenty of it. Between our veneers well and oil deal, all of our new mineral deals, trillions and trillions
of dollars that we're taking in with my most favorite word, but now I moved it to fifth place, you know. Right? Because the press for the few people that haven't heard this story, tariff. I said tariff is my favorite word in the whole dictionary. My favorite. I love the word. And I said that at one of the big rallies I had a while ago. Tariff is my favorite word. It's going to make America rich. It's making us much richer than we ever thought, but we're taking in trillions of dollars. Okay. But I said tariff is my favorite word. And the fake news went crazy. They said, what about love? What about wife? What about God? Religion? Family. So I moved tariff down to fifth. And now I'm okay. Now I'm okay. They've been leaving me alone. Oh, they hit me hard. They hit me hard. They said tariff. What about religion?
So I moved it to fifth and now they've been pretty good. I'm surprised they didn't move me deeper. But trillions of dollars in tariff revenue have come in. Great investments from foreign countries and our enormous new equity stakes and major companies. I did something I'm getting killed for. Intel. Intel is a good, really good company. But what happened is stupid presidents allowed the chip business to leave our country and go to Taiwan. And stupid. All they had to do is put tariffs on. They wouldn't have left. In other words, Taiwan, you're going to sell chips to America. You've got to pay 100 percent. You've got to pay 200 percent, 50 percent anything. And you wouldn't have had. But they didn't do that until I came along. What happened is Intel became old and tired and gotten trouble. And they came to see me. The head of Intel was a nice man, actually. And he said, sir, I need your help. And he said why, whatever it was.
And I said, well, you came to the right place. I'm the only one that can help you. I was there with Scott and Howard Lutnikar, Commerce Secretary, he's doing a good job and a couple of others. I said, I'm the only one that can help you. I said, here's a deal. Give the United States of America 10 percent of Intel. Now the thing was worth like $120 billion. It lost its way, but it still worth a lot of money. I said, give the United States of America 10 percent of Intel. And I'll get this problem solved for you. He stood up immediately and he said, you have a deal. And I said, I should have asked for more. It was true. I said to my guys, what the hell's wrong with me? But anyway, I should consent. But that was worth $12 billion. So in one meeting, I picked up $12 billion. But what's happened, well, that's not even the good part. Because what happened to Intel is amazing.
It became the number one stock on the exchange, various exchanges, by the way. And I don't know. I see Scott up there. He made a great speech, by the way. I see Scott. Scott, how many times has it doubled and tripled and quadrupled? What's it now, Scott? How much is it worth? He said five times. Now it's worth like, I think we made a $60 billion profit, something like that. If I'm wrong, they'll say, if I'm wrong, they'll say horrible. Let me lower the number, just because if I'm wrong, they'll say he exaggerated the number. But it went up like four or five times. We made $50 or $60 billion in just a number of months. And it's one of the hottest stocks on the stock exchanges, because it's numerous exchanges at more than one. And it's been amazing. Do I get credit for it? No. Do I get credit for building a ballroom with my money, where I have the only one.
I build a ballroom. No money, no tax. I don't want tax money. I don't want anything. That's me and a bunch of patriots. They put up lots of money to build this, which is desperately needed. And it's going to be beautiful. And everyone's going to say, oh, thank God. No, it's going to be beautiful. Zero tax dollars for the ballroom. Zero tax dollars. And what happens? I get criticized. Is this the most incredible thing? Anybody else would do that. They say, what a nice gesture. So I'm giving you a ballroom free of charge. That's all I can tell you. And it will be the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world. It'll be the best. And it's, by the way, drone proof, bullet proof, everything proof. It's got less. This thick, six inches thick. It's going to be great. It's going to be a little safer than the place that we happened to have that little White House correspondence. Did you remember that? That was not the safest feeling. This is going to be great. But we give it to you tax-free.
And I hope you enjoy it. You know, the other thing is that I'm only going to get to use it a few months. It's going to be built. We're on time. We're under budget, actually, in ahead of schedule. And I'll only get to use it. People forget. You know, they say he's building a ballroom for himself. No, I'll be there for a few months. I'd love to have it for a long time. But they've wanted a ballroom at the White House Presidents for 150 years. You know, we have the President of China coming in two weeks, who's, you know, I get along great with him. We have a very good, that's better. And you know, it's a good thing, not a bad thing. Some people say, it's terrible. That's a very good thing. But we have like 101 people. We could have 2,000 people. I could have this whole stadium, would like to go there. So we're building something that's going to be the most beautiful anywhere in the world. When I was in China, they have a building. It's called the Great Hall of China. It's a serious hall. This is a very large hall. But we're going to top it. You know, we're going to top it. And it's going to be at the White House. And all these presidents to come, hopefully mostly Republicans, but Democrats also are going to be very thankful that they have it.
And it's going to be an honor to do it. And I just want to say that the radical if Democrats will not have and could not have. And this is very important because I'm getting to maybe, maybe, what will be the best part of the speech. So why I, because I love the weave. You know what the weave is? You talk about something, then you bring in a ballroom, or you bring in an airplane, or you bring an Air Force one. But you notice I always get right back to the same topic. Now, when I don't come back, she's great. She says, I love my wife. She's doing a good job. So when someday there'll be a time when I do the weave is weave. Someday there'll be a time when I don't get back to the original subject. And then you can say he's had it. OK. You can say then he's had. But what we're doing is because we've done so well, and because our country is making so much money,
that only I can make this promise to you. And here is my promise. If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them, because of our economic, tremendous economic success, like in history, we've never had anything like what's happening. But because of our tremendous strength and success economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000. Very much like a successful company will do a cash distribution to a shareholders, or like last year when I gave our great members of the military,
$1,776, remember? I gave it to our military, $1,776. And you believe the number was $1,775. And I said, you know, if we had $1,1776, I said, did anybody think of that? No. But we gave our great military $1,776, and they are thrilled every time I see them, they thank me. But this is what we're doing, and it was greatly appreciated, just like I did with the Trump accounts for children, where young people, children, and many of them born in poverty or families with very little money or future, will be potentially rich when they turn 18 or 21. Think of it, their family won't have much money, but the government is putting $1,000 into an account for beautiful babies born.
But in many cases, they're born into poverty, they're born poor, they're born not rich, but they get $1,000, and we do matching funds and all sorts of things. And Michael and Susan Dell, he put up, think of this. He put up $6,250,000, so far he's a large, anybody in the room like the challenge set number and put up a little, so go out and buy his computer, see, it's a very good guy. Now they'll say, oh, he's making a poll, I'm not making, I gave a $6,250,000,000, and he did that not because he had to, because he really wanted to do it. And children are going to turn 18 or 19 or 20 or 21, they're going to have an account. And if the market is good, like if the market's like today, they become quite rich at a very young age instead of having no money whatsoever. It's an amazing thing and very popular.
We have other people, by the way, we have other rich people, they took the entire state, somebody put up the entire state of Indiana, putting up money for every child born the entire state bread. Thank you very much. The only condition on the payment of this dividend that we're going to be making, so it's $5,000 to every adult, the only caveat I have is that the dividend that we're making must be spent in the United States of America. We don't want you. We don't want you going to Canada to spend the money. We don't want you going to China, to Germany, you got to spend the money in the United States of America. In other words, if the Republicans win, if you win, we might not win. The reason the Democrats can't do that is because they don't do tariffs, they don't take in money.
All they know is poverty and how to ruin our country, but we're making a fortune. So if the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000, it will be called the Trump dividend. We'll call it the Trump dividend. Congratulations. Now what we have to do is win under my leadership. We also made our historic, most favored nation agreements on drug prices. Nobody thought it was possible. For decades, Americans paid the highest prices for prescription drugs anywhere in the world. We paid the highest drug prices in the world. And now, because of what I did with Bobby Kennedy who's over there, with Dr. Oz, who's over there. Stand up.
Thank you. Bobby, Dr. Oz, we have a great trip. So we went from the highest prices by far in the world. And now we pay the lowest prices in the entire world for prescription drugs. And nobody wants to write a story about it. I'm trying to get the press. I think it's one of the biggest things that happened medically, health care-wise. In history, I cannot get a story out of it. I'm trying. I'm saying, would you please tell the people how great I am, please? But I'm giving you the largest prescription drug price cuts in history, with differences of 400, 500, and even 600 percent. Think of that. And that alone should win the midterms, honestly. If we did nothing else, that should, because everybody said, other presidents tried and they failed. They weren't able to do it. But I would call countries, the big problem I got the drug companies to do, but they knew that I couldn't get it from countries.
Never got. I would call France. I would call other countries. In the case of France, I would speak to President Macron, beautiful accent, wonderful guy, say, Emmanuel, please, please do us a favor. You have to double or triple the drug prices in France, if you don't mind, because you're paying $10 for a pillar. We're paying $130 for the site pill. So the concept is they'll go up somewhat and we'll come way down, because the world is bigger than us, so it's disproportionate down. So he said, no, no, no, I will not do that. No, no, why would I do a thing? Said, you have no choice. You're going to do it. He said, no, no, I will not do that. Don't you don't understand. I will not do that, Mr. President. I said, yes, you will. I will tell you you will do it, because if you don't do it, I am putting a 150 percent tariff on all wines and everything else coming into the United States. And he said, don't old you really can't do that.
I said, yes, I can't have the papers in front of me. I'm going to sign them right now. I said, don't I would love to do that. So he agreed. And I had the same conversation with about 25 other countries, you had to get their approval. Got everybody's approval. It was whether it's wine, champagne, cars, it was always something. Everybody's got a weak spot. Remember that in life. Everybody has a weak spot. I will tell you what my weak spot is, our review is this. But on the world stage, America is respected again, like we have never been respected before. That I can tell you. And here at home we ended the Wilk Madness Democrats, and we afflicted upon America. We abolished all of the diversity, equity, and inclusion mandates across the federal government. We made English the official language of the United States.
We banned transgender ideology and critical race theory from our public schools. And ended the transgender mutilization of our children. There will be no more mutilization, which is what it was of our children. And so importantly, we will not have men playing in women's sports. And every single Democrat in Congress voted against our tax cuts. They voted against no tax on tips. This is every single one. It's incredible that Congress, the Senate, the House, that they were able to get this past, they voted against no tax on tips. They voted against no tax on overtime. They voted against 100 percent, no tax on social security for our great seniors. They want to raise your taxes on social security. They want to get rid of no tax on tips.
They want to get rid of no tax on social security for the seniors. They want to get rid of, think of it, the overtime now is going wild. Companies love it, the people love it. They don't have to pay tax when they work overtime. They're working the longest hours. It's great. It's like a great incentive. They want to get rid of no tax on overtime. Every Democrat voted against funding for the border security bill. They voted against funding on everything the wall. They voted against voter ID. They voted against proof of citizenship. They voted against funding for our military and for our vets. They voted in favor. They voted in favor of transgender, everything, taxpayer, fund a child, mutilation. And they voted in favor of men playing in women's sports. Congressional Democrats voted against the American people every single time. And now they want univote yes on handing them the majority so they can take us back.
They want to take back every single thing that Republicans threw a lot of really hard work and a lot of very brilliant thinking gave you. All of those taxes are going to go through the roof if you put in the Democrats on November 3rd. We will tell the radical left Democrats that we will never believe you again. We are never going back to where we were just two years ago when our country was an embarrassment. Our country was an embarrassment. We had a president that couldn't walk off the stage. You know, there's so many stairs, one here, one there. We'd finish this speech.
The speech is only lasted about a minute, Tony. Where am I? Remember the time he walked into the wall in the back? You thought it was a stair? Couldn't sign his name in a document. It opened everything horrible. In this election the Democrats have nominated the most extreme and dangerous group of candidates for the House and Senate. Ever to seek office. These people are radical left communist many of them, not all of them, but many of them. In state after state, the Democrat establishment has been overthrown and replaced by crazed lunatics and radicals. They call themselves Democrat socialists, but actually they're communist, they're not socialists. They're long beyond socialists. Remember during the last state of the union, I said, our country will never be a socialist country. I was right. It's going to be a communist country if they would. You know what they did? They dropped socialism. They went right for the big one.
They went right for the big one. They didn't want socialism anymore. They're crazy. Remember I said that during the state of the union, I shouldn't have said it was very rude. But we're handing out the Medal of Honor to a man that landed a helicopter with his leg virtually blown off. In Venezuela, flawlessly landed a big Chinook. That's the double blader, big carrying many, many soldiers. Most people would have been out. He took that helicopter, landed it perfectly. We then were able to get Maduro if we didn't land it. We would have had a big problem. Now we presented him and others, but we presented him with the Congressional Medal of Honor board that he deserved. And they sat there, remember like this. They wouldn't clap. They would. Now I have to tell you though, at the end of that state of the union, they were clapping for everything. You know why people are calling them and saying, you guys are being slaughtered tonight.
They wouldn't clap. Remember the 100-year-old soldier that I gave a special, a special reward to a very special, the most special. They refused to clap. He was 104 years old. They refused to clap. So some wise Democrat called them up and said, you people are crazy. You better start clapping. He's making you, and you know, honestly, they were clapping for everything. You know what? I could say anything. They were clapping. They were going wild. So they went from one extreme to the other. You know why? Because they had Democrats. That's why. But America has beaten Communism before, and we will beat it again. We've beaten it before. The new Democrat Communists have even published a manifesto. Do you believe it? They have been in the manifesto in our country. They vow to abolish the police. It makes a lot of sense. Abolish prisons. Abolish the United States Supreme Court.
Abolish the United States senators. We have some very unhappy senators sitting right over here. They want to abolish ICE. They want to abolish Border Patrol and poll you a great tonight, wherever you are. They had a Border Patrol. He was great. And they want a grand full amnesty and voting rights to all illegal aliens, regardless of whether they were criminals, murders, or any other type. Everybody gets. If you were a murderer, you get to vote. They want to ban oil and gas, which I would think in Texas will give Ken a very big victory. No, think of it. They want to ban oil and gas. We're in Texas. I mean, this guy, Telefrico, he would, this guy is corrupt. They wanted to fund the United States military and lower my very high standard on health care for our great vans.
You know, they want to take away health care for our veterans. They want to steal your money for reparations. They want to basically punish you for crimes that you never committed that happened hundreds of years ago. And our country doesn't have that kind of money. They have the money for $5,000, but they don't have that kind of money. And give it to the people that hate our country, the people that hate our country are asking for it, but it's going nowhere. Well, by the way, as long as you have Republicans, it's not even the, you know, our party is really, we can say conservative, but our party is really based on a thing called common sense. It's all common sense. It's all common. But these are people that do not care if your country is invaded by illegal immigrants. If your home is burglarized, if your parks and city streets are turned to filth and squalor and death, if your loved ones are pushed in front of a subway train in New York City or stabbed in the middle of a field in any state you want to pick.
They don't care because they hate our country and they are Democrats and they're very, very wrong. On election night, we're going to prove that America does not belong to those who hate it. America belongs to those who love it. One of America's, I mean, we have so many great people here tonight. It's so sad because I'd like to mention every one of them. We have so many great senators, so many great congresspeople, but you can't time. One of the Democrats top congressional candidates is a self-describbed Marxist who says he hates family households, oh that's nice.
And wants to destroy the American way of life. These are words he used. Another quotes Karl Marx saying she wants to seize the means of production and puts the works of communist butches like Lenin, Stalin, into every library. But the books of Lenin, Lenin, as they say, Lenin, Lenin, Stalin, and every library for all our young children to read and study. These are our Democrat party's nominees to wheel control over the United States Congress. If they win the greatest legislative body and history will for the first time ever be controlled by a communist caucus, they'll have a caucus of 20 people, 18 people, 10 people, that's enough to control Congress. Mike Johnson will tell you that we've got enough problems, right? We have enough. We have enough. How would you feel about having 22 communists in your little group?
All right, Mike says no, please. We have, it's enough problems getting people to vote who aren't good people. We have a couple of them, but mostly the Gonzo. We take care of our bad people. We take really good care of our good people though. But we're not going to let the communism happen, not here, not in America, not in our 250th year. There's an example. In Florida, the Democrat nominee for Senate, Angie Nixon, no relation to Richard Nixon. The first thing I did, I want to check, is she related at all to Richard Nixon? Is a card-carrying member of the Democrat Socialists of America. In Michigan, the Democrat nominee is Abdul El-Sat. Who breaks about the fact that he wants to practice Supreme Court with 23e far left lunatics, justices.
His sister, who's absolutely, you've got to listen to this one. His sister celebrated the terrorist slaughter of babies on October 7th. She thought it was a great thing. His sister thought it was a great day. His mother worked for an organization that gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to people that follow Osama bin Laden. And he campaigns with a Marxist agitator who says that America deserved 9.11. We deserve to have 3,000 people killed. Two massive structures brought to the ground. We deserved it, right? Yet the Democrats want to make this extremist a U.S. senator. And running against somebody really good, he's fortunately we have a man named Michael Rogers, who's great. So in November 3rd, get out and vote for Michael.
Now in North Carolina, you have a little more difficult case, because people don't quite get it, but they're going to find out. Democrats nominated Roy Cooper, who worked with anti-police radicals to release thousands and thousands of dangerous criminals and murderers all over the one safe streets and countryside of beautiful North Carolina. My daughter and Laura loves North Carolina. She comes from there. And last year on a train in Charlotte, you all saw it. One monster, an absolute monster. With 14 prior arrests, nothing but trouble. Violent person. Sit up behind a beautiful 23 year old woman. Irene Zeritska and slashed a knife from behind across her neck and killed her almost instantly. Other than a look she gave up, what happened? That was a last thought. It was a last look.
He was an animal of island killer and everyone knew it. They all knew it. They all knew he was destined to kill. He loomed over her as a life-drained from her absolutely petrified. You all see it. And you don't want to see any more than the putting of the knife. If you wanted to look at something as horrific as anything you'll ever see, let that tape run. Most networks that I gave him credit for this, they wouldn't let that happen. It was violent. Unfortunately, because of my position, I was forced to look. I did not like looking at it. I wish I never saw it. She died on a metro train terrified and alone. I got to meet her mother at the state of the union. She was there. She was quite a while afterwards and the mother, she said, I haven't stopped crying since it took place. Never. She'll never be the same. Roy Cooper was the governor and released this animal into North Carolina society and others that were almost as bad.
This happened up in Massachusetts a long time ago when they released a violent criminal and that man killed numerous women very quickly, raped and killed them right after being released. And as you know, that governor from Massachusetts was running for president and he was leading. And as soon as that happened, he took a ten-point drop and then another ten-point and then he got beat in a slaughter. That should happen to Roy Cooper because Roy Cooper, what he's done is worse. Roy Cooper released people like that can't imagine as bad but very bad murderers all over the streets and fields of North Carolina. Did you ever see North Carolina how much crime they seem to have? No, they never had crime. And now they want to make him a senator. He wants to be a senator.
Roy Cooper was governor when North Carolina was hit by the worst water filled record-setting hurricane. This was a hurricane of massive water, maybe the most we've ever had hit this country water. That left the state ravaged and he did nothing to help. He was a disaster during that very traumatic time and it only got fixed on January 20th when I came into office and the number one advocate. And the number one advocate and the man that called me more than anybody else. So we had great support from our congressmen, Republicans, was Michael Watley, the head of the Republican Party. He did such a good job as the head of North Carolina Republican Party that I said I really want North Carolina three times in a row by a lot. I said I really want that guy to head up the Republican Party nationally. Name is Michael Watley.
And he'll be an unbelievable, he's going to be unbelievable. There'll be nobody like him. I mean, he's just a winner. Roy Cooper will make North Carolina a killing field and he's a radical left politician posing as a moderate. In fact, he's one of the worst in the entire group, but nobody really understands it yet, but they will. And I just want to pay my condolences to the mother of Irene who is living in hell right now or daughter would be alive today if North Carolina had a different governor because that animal would have been in prison or worse. He wouldn't have been let go to be on the streets and be in a train sitting right behind that beautiful young lady. And he's going to be a great candidate for Michael Watley in North Carolina, which has become a crime-ridden state, including your new Democrat governor, Zoon allows you to job.
So Michael Watley will straighten things out just like he did when he ran the Republican Party in 2024 when we won a landslide election. Here in Texas, Democrats have dominated James, Tala Frico for the side. And he is a weird looking dude. I mean, I don't like talking about looks, but there's something missing there. Remember Mad magazine, he looked to me just like Alfredi Newman, right? Alfredi Newman. Texas is not heavy into the world of Alfredi. He's Alfredi Newman. And he's a bad one. He's bad. Tala Frico authored a plan to annihilate Texas oil and gas. That's good. I'm working my ass off to get you oil and gas and I got a guy that wants to end it. Would Texas be willing to end oil and gas drilling?
And watch Texas file for the equivalent of chapter 11. You know what it's called? Chapter 17. If a state goes bankrupt, because that's what would happen. This guy would be a disaster. And he stated that he wants to totally dismantle capitalism dismantle. Capitalism. He described himself as a person who hates Christianity, says that God is transgender. He called the American flag a complicated symbol of hate, claimed that the ten commandments are a form of fascism. And when he was asked what he loved most in the world, he said, I love transgender children, which he'll. He was also somebody that hated eating meat. But he ran a campaign to beat meat. He called it beat meat. I don't know what the hell he meant by that. These people are going to tell me what the hell is he wants to beat meat.
But it was bad for his image. So he started eating meat. And he recently, it's getting worse. I'm getting myself in trouble. Getting worse. But he was recently seen having a barbecue and eating a lot of meat. But that's what happened. He ate it. And then he was seen running backstage to a room and throwing up all over the place. He doesn't like meat. He also loved wearing masks. And he was seen wearing a mask just a short number of months ago. Any guy in Texas that's wearing a mask a few months ago, this is not going to be your senator. It's not going to work out. Not going to work out. So getting back freedom loving pages of Texas are going to defeat.
California and Elect Kent Paxton to protect the load source. You know what's amazing. I'm looking at this massive. It's filled all the way up. It's all the way. There's a lot of people outside and watch this. Nobody has left. It's a great tribute to Trump. Nobody has to think of this. Nobody has left. And then I'll read in the New York Times tomorrow that Trump lost his audience shortly. No, I read. Okay. I'll read. I'll read tomorrow and some of the media, the New York Times, the failing. It's a failing newspaper, by the way. It's failing badly. You know why? Because there's no credibility. But they'll have a reporter say Trump lost his audience.
He didn't enjoy it up there. I do. I'm having a lot of fun. You know why? Because everybody loves me and I love everybody. So they'll say that they started leaving. I've been speaking for an hour and 20 minutes. Nobody's left. There's no. But they'll say the arena started emptying out. Or they'll say the arena, which was only 25% full. Really? I really about those people. Now this place is packed and that's it. But I had the case. I was going to say before. So Lindsey Graham assisted Darleen's fantastic. And she's running. And she was behind in the polls against a very good politician. Ralph Norman, very good politician. And she was a little behind. And I was pushing for her victory. And I went to South Carolina and I gave a speech in a big room and it was packed. It was packed. And because of that speech, she won the election quite nicely. She won it quite nicely.
And the people it was standing room only. The people were packed outside. And then on watching the Sunday shows last week, a creep from the New York Times said, I was at that room. And there was very little enthusiasm. President Trump didn't really want to be there. You could see it. And the room was half empty. The back of the room had nobody. Let me tell you the back of the room made this one look empty. The place was packed thousands of people outside. And here's the bottom line. Because of that speech, she won. But I had to listen to a guy lie from the New York Times. His name is Sean McCreech, something like that. And he lied. And he said. So just remember we looked around the places back. Nobody left. Let's keep it that way because I'm almost finished. A vote for any Democrat this year, anywhere in the country is a vote to let a small and dangerous group of extremists hold our Congress and our country hostage.
If they win every bill becomes a ransom negotiation, it'll be very tough. If we want to fund the military, then we'll have to pay the Marxists to want to destroy it. If we want a homeland security funding, then we'll have to pay the radicals who think we deserved. Like I said, 9-11. I don't think so. With your vote in this election, you can tell these far left lunatics and fanatics that America is not for sale to them or to anybody else. Thank you. We do not negotiate with Communists, with Socialists or with radical left lunatics. We don't negotiate. The maniacs attacking our civilization think they're on this march. They're talking about this is a great march to work.
The hardest country in the whole world. What the hell do you want us to do? They're talking about we will march. We will everything they touch. You know one thing I noticed about even if I just talk socialism, if I talk about radical left, for that even going to communism. Everything, I said this once a month ago. I go a little off script if you don't mind. Isn't it nice to have a president that doesn't have to use a script? Isn't that nice? But one thing I noticed about the radical left, like the cities, the blue cities. I don't want to go specific. I'm not going to mention New York, Chicago, all of us. I don't want to be specific. But the one thing I notice is dirt and filth. Everything's dirty and filthy and disgusting. And then the crime comes and then the killing comes and then everything else. And then we have to bail them out or they don't get bailed out and the thing goes to hell completely. But it's filthy, disgusting, dirty. You know what? I'm a guy I hate to shake hands. I used to hate it. I had to get used to it as a politician.
And I think I was right. But now, you know, if you're a politician, don't shake somebody's hand. How's that forgetting a vote? A guy comes up, sir, man, please shake your hand. No, I don't want to shake your hand. Oh, let's go out and vote for him tomorrow. You have to get you. You have to get you. But, you know, I like cleanliness. I'm a very clean person. And I notice that these radical left places, they turn dirty, filthy, disgusting, and then the crime follows. So we can't let that happen to our country. We just can't let it happen. So he's actually one year ago tomorrow, a far leftist extremist assassinated my great friend and conservative voice, Charlie Kirk. Because Charlie Kirk spoke the truth. What shocked millions of American was not only the fact that Charlie was murdered as bad as it was, but also how many people made an excuse for it or cheered for it. They were cheering some people, sick people. For a brief moment, the mask came off the radical left and you saw what they were early, all about.
And now those same people are trying to get power over you in this election. And they are all voting Democrat. Okay, they're all voting every one of them and you can't let it happen. We will not let them win. And Charlie's honor. I just want to say we love you, Charlie. And Erica is here. Some place. Erica, where's Erica? Thank you very much. And thank you, Erica. And I think Erica is going to be here tomorrow too. She's put up with something boy, oh boy, what she's had to go through and most beautiful family and just terrible.
Tough life, tough life. Can't let it happen. From the very beginning of this journey, I've not stopped fighting and I never will stop fighting to protect you, your family. I had a great life before I did this. This is a little different. I had a very nice life. I didn't need to be here tonight. I could have been in a nice place somewhere in the world. But I want to be here because I love you people. I really do. I wouldn't trade. I wouldn't trade. But the radical left comment is of tried to persecute me. My loved ones and my supporters. They attempted to put me in jail and even tried to kill me because I was doing a good job. But through it all, I have never quit. I've never backed down. I never will. And every single promise I made to you as a candidate, I've delivered on. I've delivered on everything. We've delivered on many more things that I even talked about. Somebody said he's actually delivered the only politician they say this about.
But that I've delivered many more things that I even talked about. And all I'm asking to this election is that you stand with me together. We will defeat communism in America. Once and for all, we're going to defeat it. And we have to defeat it badly. And with your vote, because of your great work and our tremendous economic success, as I said, we're going to give you that Trump dividend to $5,000 if we win it. We're going to win. And we'll make all Trump tax cuts permanent so that the Democrats can end them. We have them. We're not going to let them end them. And we'll pass the Great Healthcare Plan. We call it the Great Healthcare Plan to stop all government payments to the big insurance companies, which by the way, the insurance companies own the Democrats. They own them and give the money directly to the people for you to go out and buy your own health care.
You'll get much better health care and have money left over for yourselves. And we're going to end very quickly, surprise medical billing and that surprise medical billing is a tremendous, horrible situation in our country. And requiring insurers and hospitals to post all prices clearly in plain English so you can see what you're getting into. And we will make our most favored nation agreements on prescription drug prices permanent, which reduces your prescription drug prices by up to 90% think of it. You know, when I was in my first term for 28 years, there's never been a president that reduced drug prices, but I did one eighth of 1%. And I was so proud I call for a news conference and I break to the press. So prices from January till the end of December went down one eighth of 1% and now I'm reducing a 90% more.
And we'll cut out of control credit cards, swipe fees saving the average family at least $1,200 per year. And we'll not allow Americans to pay seven to eight times more for those fees than they do in any other country. We pay seven, eight and nine times more than they do another. It's almost like the prescription drugs, same kind of a thing. Well, we'll straighten it out very quickly. We will make it legally impossible for any future president to destroy our country by having the right to open the border again. Again, we will pass a no invasion of our country act. And we will win the war on fraud headed up by the way by JD Vance who's doing a great job. You know, I watched him last week and he was standing there with like 20 guys behind him, all central casting all look like they just got out of the greatest low schools.
And I said, it looks like Elliott Ness. It's Elliott Ness in the old days. But you know, JD's found billions and billions of dollars of fraud and he's just starting and he's really enjoying it. Because he's stealing from the American country. Thank you. Great job. And we will end no cash bail and institute the death penalty for large scale drug dealers, human traffickers and murderers of our law enforcement era. And one way or the other, before or after, if it has to be after I hope it's before November 3rd election, we will pass the Save America Act. We will make mandatory photo voter ID and proof of citizenship a staple at every single election in every single state.
And we will enshrine in permanent law, no men in women's sports and no transgender mutilization of your children. And again, when I'm running, we get tremendous numbers of votes and people coming out and they vote and then they vote for the senators and the congressmen and women at all. But when I'm not running, it's a little different. So please, I ask you this as maybe more important even than the Trump dividend. Please pretend that I'm running and get out and vote on November 3rd or sooner. Because in actuality, I really am running. We don't really know it, but we are. I mean, we're running together. We have to we have to have Congress. We have to have the majorities that we don't have the majority so much can be lost. It could destroy the so destructive these people.
They have no heart. They're so destructive and we have to make sure they don't have a chance to destroy our country. This is one of the most important elections of your lives, only superseded by our victories in 2016, 2020 and 2024. Three great victories. And I will see you tomorrow night where I will be. Where I will be closing out the first ever midterm convention. This is incredible. And by the way, tomorrow night, I'm going to be at tomorrow night. I'm going to close it out. I'm going to say, but I'm not doing a big deal like this. Because I don't have to say the same stuff twice. I gave you a lot of material. I don't have to do it twice. But I'm going to be here to say good night to you. I'm going to be just sort of getting up here and saying, good luck.
And we love you all. That's what I'm going to be saying tomorrow. So in 55 days, we will do what 250 years of American history absolutely demands. We will defend our nation's founding. We will protect our constitution, including our great Second Amendment, which is always under siege. We will uphold the honor of our great heroes. We have great heroes. We will redeem the sacrifice of our ancestors. We will vanquish America's enemies. We will raise high the torch of liberty that was handed to us and march forward into a future of hope, pride, opportunity and freedom. On November 3rd, vote Republican for House and Senate. And with God's help, we will lead this nation to heights of glory and achievement, never seen before, even by our country at its best.
Because together we will make America powerful again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America healthy again. We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again. Thank you very much, Texas. We love you all. God bless you. God bless you all. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
I understand that this is an emotional path. Thank you.
Thank you.
