Question 1

leveller <- read.csv("C:/Users/benji/Downloads/leveller_matrix.csv") %>%
  dplyr::select(-X)

prop.table(table(leveller$y_target))

        0         1 
0.3761905 0.6238095 

Notice a little under 2/3 of our population are levellers and 1/3 are not so our sample isn’t super balanced.

Question 1.1

  set.seed(125)
  
  # for safety let's randomize order of rows

  ids_train <- createDataPartition(1:nrow(df_samp), p =trainProp, list = FALSE, times = 1) 
  train_x <- df_samp[ids_train, -which(names(df_samp) == "y_target")] %>%

The model with 90% of the data used as the training set is best at out of sample prediction with an accuracy of 85%, which is decent and better than the modal predictor of roughly 62%. You can see the accuracy climbs as we increase the size of the training set. ### Question 1.2 First I refit the best model outside of the function I wrote above.

set.seed(125)
  
# for safety let's randomize order of rows
df_samp <- leveller %>% sample_n(nrow(leveller))
rownames(df_samp) <- NULL
  
# Build train and test set
ids_train <- createDataPartition(1:nrow(df_samp), p =0.9, list = 
                                   FALSE, times = 1) 
train_x <- df_samp[ids_train, -which(names(df_samp) == "y_target")] %>% 
  data.frame() # train set data
train_y <- df_samp$y_target[ids_train] %>% 
  as.factor()  # train set labels
test_x <- df_samp[-ids_train, -which(names(df_samp) == "y_target")]  %>% 
  data.frame() # test set data
test_y <- df_samp$y_target[-ids_train] %>% 
  as.data.frame() # test set labels

  # Build SVM model
best_svm_mod_linear <- svm(x = train_x, y = train_y, scale = FALSE,
                      kernel = "linear", cross = 5, decision.values = TRUE)

pred.svm <- predict(best_svm_mod_linear, newdata = test_x, 
                            decision.values = TRUE)
test_dv <- attr(pred.svm, "decision.values")

predictoin.svm <- ROCR::prediction(test_dv, test_y)
perf.svm <- performance(predictoin.svm, measure = "tpr", x.measure = "fpr")

plot(perf.svm, main = "ROC Curve for SVM")

perf_auc <- performance(predictoin.svm, measure = "auc")
perf_auc@y.values

[[1]]
[1] 0.9216301

The ROC curve is displayed using the RoCr package above. The next outputted value is the AUC, which takes a value of 0.9216301. This is a good AUC, meaning this is a high performing model. It performs much better than random.

Question 1.3

weight.matrix <- t(best_svm_mod_linear$coefs) %*% best_svm_mod_linear$SV
col.vec <- as.data.frame(t(weight.matrix))
col.vec$V1 <- as.numeric(col.vec$V1)
col.vec %>%
  arrange(desc(V1)) %>%
  head()

                 V1
men       0.4136260
tryall    0.3137778
contrary  0.3067008
lawfull   0.3026006
england   0.3017891
distroyed 0.2968577

col.vec %>%
  arrange(V1) %>%
  head()

                 V1
without  -0.3851378
deny     -0.3589598
state    -0.3265319
shall    -0.3092514
chosen   -0.2917824
adjudged -0.2762672

The first output (the one with positive values of hte V1 column, which represents the weights) shows the words most predictive of being a leveller. The second output, which has negative V1 terms, predicts the words most predictive of not being a leveller. The idea that the levellers were very interested in rights around trials is somewhat supported. The words “tryall” and “lawfull” are both highly predictive of being a leveller. Both these words relate to trials (most likely, assuming “tryall” is an old spelling of trial). Some of the words predictive of not being a leveller also could be related to trial rights, depending on how they’re used in the corpus. These words include “deny” and “state.” For instance, you could imagine people who aren’t levellers writing “the state shall not deny right to a fair trial.” While I think the evidence is somewhat suggestive that levellers cared about trial rights, I don’t think this evidence is conclusive or that the levellers are necessarily the only people in the corpus writing about trials or rights at this time. ### Question 1.4

test_y.df <- as.data.frame(test_y) %>%
  mutate(hinge = if_else(. == 1, 1, -1))
test_y.df <- cbind(test_y.df, test_dv)
colnames(test_y.df) <- c("true", "hinge_value", "dv")
test_y.df <- test_y.df %>%
  mutate(hinge_loss = if_else(1-hinge_value*dv>0, 1-hinge_value*dv, 0))

test_y.df %>%
  arrange(desc(hinge_loss)) %>%
  head()

    true hinge_value         dv hinge_loss
263    1           1 -0.9081500   1.908150

266    0          -1  0.1560635   1.156063

train_y.df <- as.data.frame(train_y) %>%
  mutate(hinge = if_else(. == 1, 1, -1))
train_y.df <- cbind(train_y.df, best_svm_mod_linear$decision.values)
colnames(train_y.df) <- c("true", "hinge_value", "dv")
train_y.df <- train_y.df %>%
  mutate(hinge_loss = if_else(1-hinge_value*dv>0, 1-hinge_value*dv, 0))

train_y.df %>%
  arrange(desc(hinge_loss)) %>%
  head()

    true hinge_value         dv   hinge_loss
221    1           1 -1.0001102 2.0001101661
252    0          -1 -0.9995088 0.0004912424
282    1           1  0.9995261 0.0004739094
382    0          -1 -0.9995396 0.0004604299
120    0          -1 -0.9995507 0.0004493144
394    0          -1 -0.9995531 0.0004468860

From the first output you can see row 263 of the original data frame has the largest hinge loss of the values in the test set.

The second output includes the hinge loss values for the training set. You can see row 221 of the original data set has a hinge loss above 2, which is the largest in either the training or test set.

The loss values in both the training and test set are reported in the tables above. ### Question 1.5 I already have a train test split using the optimal seed from the above so I don’t rerun the seed command here as that’s the only random thing going on here. I just use the train and test splits and calculate the accuracy for the different types of models:

svm_mod_linear <- svm(x = train_x, y = train_y, scale = FALSE,
                      kernel = "linear", cross = 5, decision.values = TRUE)
svm_mod_radial <- svm(x = train_x, y = train_y, scale = FALSE,
                      kernel = "radial", cross = 5, decision.values = TRUE)
svm_mod_polynomial <- svm(x = train_x, y = train_y, scale = FALSE,
                      kernel = "polynomial", cross = 5, 
                      decision.values = TRUE)
svm_mod_sigmoid <- svm(x = train_x, y = train_y, scale = FALSE,
                      kernel = "sigmoid", cross = 5, decision.values = TRUE)

get_acc <- function(model){
  # Perform out of Sample Test
  predictions <- as.data.frame(predict(model, test_x))

  results <- cbind(test_y, predictions)
  
  colnames(results) <- c("actual", "pred")
  
  results <- results %>%
    mutate(correct = if_else(actual == pred, 1, 0))
 
  return (sum(results$correct)/nrow(results))
}
lin.acc <- get_acc(svm_mod_linear)
rad.acc <- get_acc(svm_mod_radial)
pol.acc <- get_acc(svm_mod_polynomial)
sig.acc <- get_acc(svm_mod_sigmoid)

lin.acc

[1] 0.85

rad.acc

[1] 0.725

pol.acc

[1] 0.725

sig.acc

[1] 0.725

The accuracy of the linear kernel is highest at 85% (which we saw above). The non-linear kernels all have accuracy of 72.5%. Because it has a higher out of sample accuracy, I assume the linear kernel does better. This might mean that the non-liner kernels are overfitting or that the data is so all over the place it can’t determine anything.

Question 2

We already loaded the data in the previous problem ### Question 2.1

targets <- as.factor(leveller[,"y_target"])
set.seed(12)
rf_level <- randomForest(x = leveller[, -which(names(leveller) 
                                               == "y_target")], 
                         y = targets, importance = TRUE)
varImpPlot(rf_level, n.var = 10, main = "Variable Importance")

The above are the top 10 most important features (depending on which of the two measures you use you get slightly different answers).

Question 2.2 - CHECK THIS ONE ONE MORE TIME

rf_level$confusion

   0   1 class.error
0 63  95  0.60126582
1 10 252  0.03816794

acc <- (63+252)/(63+95+10+252)
prec <- 252/(252+95)
recall <- 252/(252+10)
acc

[1] 0.75

prec

[1] 0.7262248

recall

[1] 0.9618321

As can be seen above, the accuracy is 75%, the precision is 72.6% and the recall is 96%. This tells us the non-leveller texts vary more then the leveller texts because its over predicting leveller texts. There’s enough diversity in the non-leveller texts that some of them get lumped in with leveller texts.

INTEPRET AND CALCUALTE SOME OTHER STUFF ### Question 2.3

partialPlot(rf_level, leveller[, -which(names(leveller) == "y_target")], 
            x.var = tryall, which.class = 1)

The probability of being a leveller document goes up by about 20% (from roughly 55% to roughly 75%) as tryall goes from 0 to 1.

Question 2.4

plot(rf_level) 
legend("topright", 
       legend = colnames(rf_level$err.rate), 
       col = 1:ncol(rf_level$err.rate), 
       cex = 0.8, 
       fill = 1:ncol(rf_level$err.rate))

Note: I used online resources to help me create the legend, but generated the plot myself.

As you can see, the forest stabalizes somwhat at around 20 trees (this is a guesstimation), but still varies a bit. It stabalizes pretty much for good at around 120 trees.

Question 3

world <- read.csv("C:/Users/benji/Downloads/ensemble_world_data.csv")
train_world <- world %>%
  filter(split == "train") %>%
  dplyr::select(-split)
test_world <- world %>%
  filter(split == "test") %>%
  dplyr::select(-split)

Question 3.1

train_world_x <- scale(train_world[,c("gini","lifeex","gdp","literacy","fertility","corrupt", "pop_urban","spendhealth", "spendmil","sexratio")])
train_means <- colMeans(train_world[,2:11])
train_sd <- apply(train_world[,2:11], 2, sd)
train_world_y <- as.factor(train_world[,"democ_status"])

test_world_x <- scale(test_world[,c("gini","lifeex","gdp","literacy","fertility","corrupt", "pop_urban","spendhealth", "spendmil","sexratio")], center = train_means, scale = train_sd)
test_world_y <- test_world[,c("country","democ_status")]

train_world %>%
  group_by(democ_status) %>%
  summarize(count = n())

# A tibble: 2 × 2
  democ_status count
         <int> <int>
1            0   200
2            1   200

test_world %>%
  group_by(democ_status) %>%
  summarize(count = n())

# A tibble: 2 × 2
  democ_status count
         <int> <int>
1            0    47
2            1    31

First notice the two tables I outputted. The first table gives the counts of each class in the training set. They are equal, thus we can pick either for the modal guess baseline. We then can use the occurances of these classes in the test set (as shown in the second output table) to get our modal guess baseline. If we pick democratic as the modal guess baseline then our model guess baseline is \(\frac{31}{31+47}=0.3974\). If we pick non democracies as our baseline then our modal guess baseline accuracy is \(\frac{47}{31+47}=0.6026\). I’ll take the higher baseline as the comparision in what follows below.

Second, notice that we use the train means and standard deviations to normalize the test set because we don’t observe these summary statistics for the test set in deployment. We only have the summary statistics of the training set and for the model to work well we already must assume we have a representative sample for our training set so this isn’t really adding any extra assumptions on top of what we already need for our model to work well.

set.seed(574)
# first build SVm
svm_world <- svm(x = train_world_x, y = train_world_y, kernel = "linear", 
                        cross = 5)
predictions_svm_world <- predict(svm_world, test_world_x)

results <- cbind(test_world_y, predictions_svm_world)

# Now build Naive Bayes
nb_world <- naiveBayes(x = train_world_x, y = train_world_y)
predictions_nb_world <- predict(nb_world, test_world_x)
results <- cbind(results, predictions_nb_world)

# Now build random forest
rf_world <- randomForest(x = train_world_x, y = train_world_y)
predictions_rf_world <- predict(rf_world, test_world_x)
results <- cbind(results, predictions_rf_world)

# get accuracies
accuracies <- results %>%
  mutate(svm_agree = if_else(democ_status == predictions_svm_world, 1, 0),
         nb_agree = if_else(democ_status == predictions_nb_world, 1, 0),
         rf_agree = if_else(democ_status == predictions_rf_world, 1, 0))
rows <- nrow(accuracies)
svm_acc <- sum(accuracies$svm_agree)/rows
nb_acc <- sum(accuracies$nb_agree)/rows
rf_acc <- sum(accuracies$rf_agree)/rows

print(paste("First recall the model guess baseline is:", 47/78))

[1] "First recall the model guess baseline is: 0.602564102564103"

print(paste("The svm out of sample accuracy is:", svm_acc))

[1] "The svm out of sample accuracy is: 0.692307692307692"

print(paste("The nb out of sample accuracy is:", nb_acc))

[1] "The nb out of sample accuracy is: 0.692307692307692"

print(paste("The rf out of sample accuracy is:", rf_acc))

[1] "The rf out of sample accuracy is: 0.692307692307692"

Interestingly, all 3 models have reported accuracy of 69.23%. This is an improvement over our modal guess baseline.

Question 3.2

I leverage the fact that democ_status is a binary 0 or 1 variable in how I construct my ensemble. I’m just summing 3 binary variables to take a vote so if the vote is 2 or 3 a majority says its in category 1 and if the sum of these three columns is 0 or 1 a majority put it in the non-democracy class.

ensemble <- results
ensemble$predictions_svm_world <- as.numeric(predictions_svm_world) - 1
ensemble$predictions_nb_world <- as.numeric(predictions_nb_world) -1 
ensemble$predictions_rf_world <- as.numeric(predictions_rf_world) - 1
ensemble <- ensemble %>%
  mutate(ensemble_predict = if_else(predictions_svm_world + predictions_nb_world + 
                                      predictions_rf_world >= 2, 1, 0)) %>%
  mutate(ensemble_agree = if_else(democ_status == ensemble_predict, 1, 0))

ensemble_acc = sum(ensemble$ensemble_agree)/rows
print(paste("The ensemble out of sample accuracy is:", ensemble_acc))

[1] "The ensemble out of sample accuracy is: 0.782051282051282"

For some reason when I convert the 0/1 factors into numeric variables they map to 1 and 2 instead of 0 and 1 so I have to subtract 1 from the outcome.

The ensemble has an accuracy of just over 78% which is much better than the indiviudal classifiers.

Question 3.3

Before analyzing the retults notice that I set the positive class for all the outputs to be a “1” so its positive if the country is predicted to be a democracy.

First, notice that mechanically the ensemble model has fewer false positive and false negative, and thus more true positive and true negatives, then any of the other three models. I say mechanically, becuase this result is unsuprising given the dramatically inreased accuracy of the ensemble compared to the other models.

Next, observe that somewhat suprisingly the svm and naive bayes models actually have the same exact confusion matrices. I checked in the data and they made differnt predictions, but aggregated up to the confusion matrix the errors appear at the same rates.

Lastly, the random forest model has a slightly higher rate of false negative and a lower rate of false positive than the other two basic models.

Question 4

world2 <- read.csv("C:/Users/benji/Downloads/world_data2.csv")

Question 4.1

set.seed(65)
k2clusters <- kmeans(world2[,2:15], centers = 2)

clusterResults <- world2 %>%
  dplyr::select(country)

clusterResults <- cbind(clusterResults, k2clusters$cluster)

There are only 4 countries in category 1: The US, China, Russia, and Iran. All 4 countries have oil (in fact they’re the top 4 countries in the “oil” variable). They’re also all regional powers. To be honest, I’d characterize category 1 as a group of regional powers, but it excludes countires like Germany, which are also arguably the regional power in Europe. I don’t have a super great characterization of these countries outside their oil reserves as indicated by the oil variable in the dataset.

Question 4.2

set.seed(65)
k3clusters <- kmeans(world2[,2:15], centers = 3)

clusterResults <- cbind(clusterResults, k3clusters$cluster)

Category 1 now only contains the US and Russia. The second category contains countries with some regional or economic advantages in the geopolitical realm (ie Canada, China, Venezuala, Iran, Mexico) but these countries clearly do not have as much geopolitical power as Russia and the United States.

The third category seems to have more developing economies and/or countries that don’t project as much military or economic power. There are some exceptions to this characterization (ie Germany, and some other European democracies) but I think labelling these categories as “World Powers”, “Regional Powers”, “Others” is a decent characterization. Obviously the labels for the clusters that result from a clustering algorthim are subjective and this is my understanding of them without a ton of domain knowledge.

Question 4.3

cluster2 <- kmeans(world2[,2:15], centers = 2)
variation_explained <- data.frame(k = c(2), propTSS = 
                                    c(cluster2[["betweenss"]]/cluster2[["totss"]]))
for(k in 3:100){
  clusters <- kmeans(world2[,2:15], centers = k)
  prop <- clusters[["betweenss"]]/clusters[["totss"]]
  variation_explained <- rbind(variation_explained, c(k, prop))
}

Warning: did not converge in 10 iterations
Warning: did not converge in 10 iterations

variation_explained %>%
  ggplot(aes(x = k, y  = propTSS)) +
  geom_point()

If I wanted the best fitting model I’D choose the model with 100 clusters becuase the proprtion of between cluster sum of squares to total sum of squares keeps on getting closer to 1 as we increase the number of clusters which means the model is “fitting” better. The increases after k=6 or k=7, or so, are pretty minimal so I’d probably use one of these two values for k if I’m trading off between complexity and fit.

To figure this out using the plotbasically look for the lowest value where the fit starts to improve only marginally. We can see that from k=0 to k=5 the fit is increasing almost a lot so we want to keep increasing the number of clusters. After k=5 or so the fit starts to level off in the graph so we can start to think about stopping at this number of clusters.

Question 4.4

set.seed(10)
loopResults <- world2 %>%
  dplyr::select(country)
for(i in 1:10){
  clusters <- kmeans(world2[,2:15], centers = 5)
  loopResults <- cbind(loopResults, clusters$cluster)
}

13  Brazil                1                4                2                3

   clusters$cluster clusters$cluster
13                1                2

loopResults[68,]

   country clusters$cluster clusters$cluster clusters$cluster clusters$cluster
68  Mexico                1                4                2                3

68                3                5                3                1
   clusters$cluster clusters$cluster
68                1                2

loopResults[103,]

    country clusters$cluster clusters$cluster clusters$cluster clusters$cluster
103  Turkey                4                1                4                1
    clusters$cluster clusters$cluster clusters$cluster clusters$cluster
103                2                2                5                3
    clusters$cluster clusters$cluster
103                4                1

You can see from all three of the outputs above that the actual cluster label switches around a lot. This is because the label itself is meaningless. What matters is the way the row relates to the other rows in its cluster.

This relates to the problem of “label switching” because we’ve shown that the labels the model puts on a given class are completely arbitrary and can change dramatically between various iterations of the same algorithm. This makes it appear to the naive viewer like the results are significantly different from iteration to iteration when really the labels are all that’s actually changing and how the rows relate to other (as in what rows are in the same classes) doesn’t change from iteration to iteration. This latter outcome is what we’re actually interested in.

Its a little hard to see in the dendogram plotted above, but its clearer in the direct output, that Russia and the United States are alone in their cluster in the last iteration of the hierarchical clustering. ### Question 4.6

world2_pca <- prcomp(world2[,2:15], scale = TRUE)

The first outputted table is the top 10 countries on the first component and the second is the bottom 10 countries. Using this, as well as examining some of the other values on the first component, I believe PC1 can be interpreted as how “developed” a country is. The higher ranking countries tend to have higher functioning economies and better quality of life outcomes then the lower ranked countries.

Question 4.8

I expect the R^2 to be 0 because PCA is designed to make the comonpents orthogonal to each other, which should thus minimzie the amount of variance in 1 component another can explain.

summary(lm(PC2 ~ PC1, data = world2_pca))

Call:
lm(formula = PC2 ~ PC1, data = world2_pca)

Residuals:
    Min      1Q  Median      3Q     Max 
-6.1170 -0.4851  0.1254  0.8320  2.4286 

Coefficients:
              Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept) -1.897e-16  1.335e-01       0        1
PC1          1.058e-16  5.676e-02       0        1

Residual standard error: 1.407 on 109 degrees of freedom
Multiple R-squared:  3.667e-32, Adjusted R-squared:  -0.009174 
F-statistic: 3.997e-30 on 1 and 109 DF,  p-value: 1

As can be seen from the output above, the multiple-R^2 and adjusted R^2 are both incredibly close to 0 as expected.

Question 4.9

screePCA <- prcomp(world2[,2:15], scale = TRUE)
fviz_eig(screePCA, addlabels = TRUE)

I couldn’t get the package to work so I just plotted the scree plot directly. The skree plot suggests roughly 2 principal components because that’s wher the elbow is. Once we’ve hit the 2nd component we’re not gaining that much in terms of variance explained by fitting more components.

We don’t get to 90% variance explaned until the the 8th component is fitted, however. so there is a case to fit more components.

Question 4.10

I saved the distance matrix in a previous part of the question.

sammon_plot <- sammon(dist_mat)

Initial stress        : 0.00000
stress after   9 iters: 0.00000

plot(sammon_plot$points)
text(sammon_plot$points, labels = world2[,"country"], cex = 0.7, pos = 4)   

Renames <- as.data.frame( world2[,"country"]) 
colnames(Renames) <- c("country")
Renames <- Renames %>%
  mutate(country = if_else(country %in% c("China", "Russia", "United States"), country, ""))
plot(sammon_plot$points)
text(sammon_plot$points, labels = Renames$country, cex = 0.7, pos = 4)

The above two plots are exactly the same. I just took all the names other then those for the US, Russia, and China out in the second one so that its easier to see which dot represents each of these countries. Relative to the graph in 4.6, the US seems to be more in the middle (euclidean distance wise) of Russia and China. In 4.6, the US was clearly closer to China and they were all in relatively the same dimension along the y-dimension. Here, the US and China are close on the y-dimension but the US and Russia are close on the x-dimension.

This happens because PCA and Sammon scaling use different projection methods. This scaling method is explicitly two-dimensional and minimizes the sum of the squared distances, while PCA creates its dimensions in a way to minimize the straight-line difference. This means they use different optimization problems and thus produce differnet outputs. Neither option is necessarily “better” or “correct.” Unsupervised learning methods have different strengths and weaknesses and which one you should use is based on your application. # Question 5

The outputted table shows the first first 4 rows of the data frame that results from the requested transformations. Notice in the output that \n are included in the data so I want to remove those in the next question.

Question 5.2

First I replace the \\n with nothing becuase they’ll cause problems. Then I remove non-ASCII characters and single letters.

process.text <- function(text) {
  out <- gsub("\\n", "", text) 
  return(out)
}

unRestrict$text <- process.text(unRestrict$text)

## Remove non ASCII characters
unRestrict$text <- stringi::stri_trans_general(unRestrict$text, "latin-ascii")

## solitary letters
unRestrict$text <- gsub(" [A-z] ", " ", unRestrict$text)

un_corp <- corpus(unRestrict)
un_dfm <- tokens(un_corp, remove_punct = T, remove_numbers = T, include_docvars = TRUE) %>% 
  dfm(tolower = T) %>% 
  dfm_remove(c(stopwords("english"), "http","https","rt", "t.co"))

The number of features is the first output above and the number of documents is the second output above. ### Question 5.3 I don’t think I should remove rare terms from my topic model. Rare words probably contain more meaning that helps identify the topics then relatively common words. For example, using the phrase “March Madness” might be relatively uncommon in the corpus but this gives us a fairly high degree of confidence when it appears that basketball is being mentioned in some capacity (this is obviously a slightly contrived and unlikely example, espeically given that the topic model I will build will work on unigrams, not bigrams). Also, dropping and words (including the stop words we dropped earlier) represents some loss of information. I don’t think the adding computational cost of including the rare words is worth the loss of information.

Question 5.4

un_tm <- LDA(un_dfm, k = 10, method = "Gibbs", control = 
               list(seed = 1234, iter = 1500, verbose = 0))

un_tm@loglikelihood

[1] -35702026

The log likelihood of the topic model is -35702026.

The above shows the top 2 topics for each of the texts. Note that text 1 is the 1992 UN session all the way to 2011 as text20.

docsByTopic <- data.frame(topic = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10), count = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 20, 0, 0, 0,0 ,0 ))

docsByTopic %>%
  arrange(desc(count))

   topic count
1      5    20

8      8     0
9      9     0
10    10     0

The table as requested is outputted above. I used the topic output from the previous code chunk to find the most likely topic for each document. It was topic 5 for every document.

Question 5.6

use function posterior and just feed the LDA model and it will give point estimates.

posterior.probs <- posterior(un_tm)
colMeans(posterior.probs$topics)

          1           2           3           4           5           6 
0.100756349 0.008563021 0.009037347 0.008143162 0.801034605 0.015816487 
          7           8           9          10 
0.007179764 0.012117415 0.025088202 0.012263647 

Above are the posterior means averaged over all 20 documents. As can be seen the 5 most common topics are, in order, topic 5, 1, 9, 6, 10. As can be seen, however, topic 5 is the most common by a lot followed by topic 1. The rest are fairly uncommon.

Below I find the words in each of the topics

words.prob <- as.data.frame(t(posterior.probs$terms))
colnames(words.prob) <- c("topic.1", "topic.2", "topic.3",   
                          "topic.4","topic.5", "topic.6","topic.7",

the outputs are, in order, the top 10 most probable words for topics 5, 1, 9, 6, 10.

I give them the following names: topic 5 - Functions of the UN. This category has words with broad meaning pertaining to common words used in the UN, such as united, international, world. Basically, these are the functional words that come up when discussing IR. Topic 1 - Community. This category has words that emphasize the “togetherness” of the global community. These words also seem to be decently functional for the UN, but have a slightly more positive valence then the previous category. Topic 9 - Humanitarian. This category has words like “climate” and “food” that recognize social challenges that the international community is trying to solve. Here I use the word humanitarian because its non security issues. Topic 6 - Terrorism. This is the most common word in the category, making it a decent label. This topic generally reflects security concerns and seems to relate to 9/11 because the word “September” and “flight” is commonly used. The prevalence of AIDs and HIV in this topic is a little odd for my label, but in general it seems to focus on terrorism and 9/11. Topic 10 - Security. The use of the word “war” and “iraqi” makes me feel this topic is much more directly about international security issues that arose after 9/11 and how the keep the globe secure following this. I could also label this category Iraqi war.

Question 5.7

Recall from earlier in this question that documents 1-10 are pre 9/11 and the rest are post 9/11. I need this to average the topics pre and post 9/11, which I do below:

pre911 <- colMeans(posterior.probs$topics[1:10,])
post911 <- colMeans(posterior.probs$topics[11:20,])

table <- rbind(pre911, post911)
table

                 1            2           3            4         5          6
pre911  0.14037803 0.0168595154 0.016885195 0.0156801852 0.7586312 0.01328588
post911 0.06113467 0.0002665275 0.001189499 0.0006061379 0.8434381 0.01834710
                  7            8            9          10
pre911  0.012074206 0.0241228810 0.0009795477 0.001103402
post911 0.002285321 0.0001119483 0.0491968569 0.023423893

The output above is a table with the prevalence in the pre and post 9/11 periods. The column number represents the topic number and the first row is before 9/11 and the second is post 9/11 topic prevalence. As you can see, topic 1 decreases signifigantly after 9/11, topic 5 increases, 9 and 10 also increase by orders of magnitude, while 6 stays roughly the same.

To me, this implies that I slightly mischaracterized topics 6 and 9. I woudln’t expect huminatirian dicussions to go up by as much as they did in the post 9/11 period nor would I expect talk of terrorism to remain relatively constant. Their were humanitarian issues that arose in the wake of September 11 and the US invasion of Iraq which could explain the increase in topic 9, but this doesn’t really explain the results of topic 6.

Question 5.8

un_tm5 <- LDA(un_dfm, k = 5, method = "Gibbs", control = 
               list(seed = 1234, iter = 1500, verbose = 0))
un_tm50 <- LDA(un_dfm, k = 50, method = "Gibbs", control = 
               list(seed = 1234, iter = 1500, verbose = 0))

Above I fit the two new topic models. Below I discuss the perplexity for each of the 3 models.

posterior.probs10 <- posterior(un_tm)
posterior.probs5 <- posterior(un_tm5)
posterior.probs50 <- posterior(un_tm50)


text2vec::perplexity(un_dfm, posterior.probs10$terms, 
                     posterior.probs10$topics)

[1] 5720.583

text2vec::perplexity(un_dfm, posterior.probs5$terms, 
                     posterior.probs5$topics)

[1] 5833.264

text2vec::perplexity(un_dfm, posterior.probs50$terms, 
                     posterior.probs50$topics)

[1] 5775.674

The perplexity scores for the 3 topics models are outputted above. The top one is when k=10, followed by k=5 and k=50. A lower perplexity score means the model performs better so the k=10 model performs best followed by k=50 and k=5.

Question 6

Question 6.1

I am going to do very similar pre-processing to what I did in the previous question. removing stop words saves computational power at the expense of only a very small amount of information (stop words don’t help differentiate between topics). Removing punctuation only eliminates a small amount of structure and stm doesn’t really pick up on the grammatical structure anyways. Lower casing helps ensure the same word is recognized in every instance. I also don’t want any symbols in my data, which is why I remove non-ASCII characters. I also remove other symbols while creating the tokenizer. The decision to more aggressively pre-process by removing symbols and splitting hyphens is justified for two reasons. One, stm is more computational expensive then a regular topic model so reducing the number of words in the corpus can help solve this problem. Second, the variation in natioanlity of the speakers in this corpus might lead to some weird phrases and such. I want to reduce to only the most regonizable words possible so I more agressively preprocess.

I noticed in the previous question, however, that the main topics I found mostly consisted of really common words making it hard to distinguish between some of the actual topics because words like “united” and “nations” were used so frequently. As such, I will remove some of the most common words in my corpus.

un_dfm_stm <- tokens(un_corp, remove_punct = T, split_hyphens = T, remove_symbols = T, 
                 remove_numbers = T, include_docvars = TRUE) %>% 
  dfm(tolower = T) %>% 
  dfm_remove(c(stopwords("english"), "http","https","rt", "t.co")) 

# below I remove top 200 features
top200 <- names(topfeatures(un_dfm_stm, n = 200))
un_dfm_stm <- dfm_remove(un_dfm_stm, pattern = top200)
nfeat(un_dfm_stm)

[1] 246107

ndoc(un_dfm_stm)

[1] 20

The number of features and number of documents is outputted above.

Note my post_911 variable is already binary. Its a 0 for pre-9/11 and a 1 for post-9/11.

Question 6.2

Unlike in precept, we can use the dfm direclty to make our stm so I do that below:

un_stm <- stm(documents = un_dfm_stm, K = 0, init.type = "Spectral", prevalence = ~post_911, seed = 1234, verbose = TRUE, )

The top topics are 89, 104, 91, 11, and 83. From the above you can see the top words in the top 5 topics. I’d label topic 89 as negotiations because of the prominence of the word “treaty,” and “delegation” both of which are common when countries are negotiating. I’d label topic 104 as “Reacting to Changes” because reports are generally made to track significant changes like globalization. I’d label topic 91 as “9/11” because terrorist, September, and fight all relate to the September 11 attacks. Topic 11 as describe as “Civil Conflict” because both Timor and Kosovo has intense internal division, including a war in Kosovo and a referendum in Timor, that the UN had to deal with during this period. Lastly, I’d label topic 83 as “Lebanon.” While I don’t like using one of the words in the topic as the topic label, the other words lead me to believe this topic reflects the UN trying to deal with a problem specific to Lebanon.

Question 6.4

prep <- estimateEffect(1:110 ~ post_911, 
                       un_stm, 
                       nsims = 25, # draw 25 from theta distribution for uncertainty estimation
                       meta = unRestrict)

par(mar = c(5, 10, 5, 2))
plot(prep, 
     covariate = "post_911", 
     model = un_stm,
     method = "pointestimate", 
     cov.value1 = 0, 
     cov.value2 = 1,
     topics = 11)

#plot(un_stm, type = "perspectives", topics = 83, covarlevels = post_911, xlim = 1)

Above you can see a plot of the prevalence of topic 11 before 9/11 (as indicated by a 0 for the co variate variable) and after (as indicated by a 1 for the co variate level) that topic 11 is slightly more likely before 9/11 though their isn’t a statistically signifigant difference between the prevelances. This makes some sense because the UN was most involved in these countries in the 90s, which is before 9/11, but the UNs involvment in Timor, especially, continued into the 21st century, which probably explains why we don’t see a ton of difference in the pre and post 9/11 periods.

Question 7

us2020 <- read.csv("C:/Users/benji/Downloads/us_2020_election_speeches.csv/us_2020_election_speeches.csv")

Question 7.1

Notice the dataframe only contains speeches given in 2020. That’s what the data set is made to contain, so I just mutate a column with 2020 to indicate the year.

process.text <- function(text) {
  out <- gsub("\\n", "", text) 
  return(out)
}

us2020$text <- process.text(us2020$text)

## Remove non ASCII characters
us2020$text <- stringi::stri_trans_general(us2020$text, "latin-ascii")

## solitary letters
us2020$text <- gsub(" [A-z] ", " ", us2020$text)

speech_corpus <- us2020 %>%
  mutate(year = 2020) %>%
  corpus()

speech_dfm <- tokens(speech_corpus, remove_punct = T, remove_numbers = T, 
                 include_docvars = TRUE) %>% 
  dfm(tolower = T) %>% 
  dfm_remove(c(stopwords("english"), "http","https","rt", "t.co")) %>%
  dfm_trim(min_termfreq = 6, min_docfreq = 3)

In terms of preprocessing, I do a series of pretty standard preprocessing techniques (ie lowercasing, removing single characters, removing non-ASCII symbols). I also remove stopwords because these words are frequent but uninformative. Lastly, I remove words that appear in fewer then 3 speeches and fewer then 6 times in the corpus. I do this because words need to appear in the corpus enough for wordfish to be able to discriminate if they make the text more liberal or conservative. Incredibly rare words won’t be able to correctly discriminate.

Question 7.2

For the anchoring texts, I used the transcripts of town halls by Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Each of these occurred on October 15, 2020, so hopefully they are somewhat comparable in terms of themes to help ensure I’m anchoring in a logical way.

wf_2020 <- textmodel_wordfish(speech_dfm, dir = c(4, 5))

Question 7.3

wf_results <- cbind(us2020, wf_2020$theta)

mostConservative <- wf_results %>%
  arrange(desc(wf_2020$theta)) 
mostLiberal <- wf_results %>%
  arrange((wf_2020$theta))







                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Speaker 1: (00:06)USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA.Donald Trump: (00:08)Well, we won Pennsylvania last time and we're going to win it by lot more this time can see. Because four years ago we had lot of enthusiasm, but we have more now. Even the fake news will admit that. They [crosstalk 00:00:23]. There's more than we've ever had.Donald Trump: (00:27)Hello Pennsylvania. Thank you very much for being here in the rain. As we stand together in the rain, it's supposed to bring luck and we'll take it. Ah, my man. just came from the Rose Garden of the White House. Thank you very much, and love you too. do. Thank you. Or wouldn't have done this. wouldn't have done it.Donald Trump: (01:12)But we're doing well. Our country's going to be stronger than ever before very soon. You watch. It's happening. It's all happening beautifully. It's happening. We had to close it down. We saved millions of lives. We opened it up and we're doing record kind of numbers, and we're going to have the best year and we're going to have great third quarter, so thank you very much.Donald Trump: (01:39)I've just come from the Rose Garden of the White House, where proudly nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the United States Supreme Court. Judge Barrett is brilliant legal mind, an extraordinary scholar. You know that. Number one in her class. You know the professor, one of the most respected people, he said the greatest student he's ever had. That's pretty good. That's little better than Biden, wouldn't you say? She should be running for president instead of ...Donald Trump: (02:15)Now it's little bit better, academically, slightly better. Most important of all, she will defend your God-given rights and freedoms. She will. Judge Barrett would become the third Supreme Court justice along with over 300 ... think of this. This is our third domination. We have Justice Gorsuch, Justice Kavanaugh, and now we have Amy, along with over 300 federal judges by the end of this term. We've confirmed to uphold our laws and constitution as written, and that's record.Donald Trump: (02:54)Joe Biden has refused to provide his list because the names will be handpicked by socialists like Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, AOC plus three and Ilhan Omar. That's great one. She's great one. Always complaining. She's always complaining. Came here, things worked out for her. How did she come here? Does anybody know how she came here? AOC plus three. That's beauty. That's group of real ... They love our country so much.Donald Trump: (03:32)They've given power. The far left will pack the Supreme Court with radicals who will terminate the second amendment. That's what they want to do, strike the words under God from your Pledge of Allegiance, tear down crosses from public spaces and force taxpayers to fund extreme late-term abortion. That's what they're looking to do.Donald Trump: (03:56)These left-wing justices will cripple police departments, protect sanctuary cities and declare the death penalty unconstitutional for even the most depraved mass murders. It's unconstitutional. We will save your second amendment and together we will save our country, and that's what we're doing.Speaker 1: (04:18)USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA.Donald Trump: (04:37)That's lot of people. We have tens of thousands of people. If sleepy Joe came here, really mean this, you know the little circles he fills and he can't get them full? You have like five of them, those circles, those big beautiful ... Whoever does it does nice job. They're very round. But he's got five of them and then he stands very far back and walks in. mean, don't get the whole deal there. don't get it.Donald Trump: (05:14)We have tens of thousands. Somebody said 17, 18,000. Last night we had 35,000 people. You saw that in Virginia. We're making play for Virginia because we have governor in Virginia, you know that, he wants to totally end ... All he does is talk about terminating the second amendment. That's all he talks about. That's all he talks about. In 38 days, we will win the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We will win four more years in the White House. Right? Thank you.Speaker 1: (05:41)Four more years. Four more years. Four more years. Four more years. Four more years. Four more years.Donald Trump: (05:41)Thank you.Speaker 1: (05:41)Four more years.Donald Trump: (06:03)Thank you very much. Great honor. It's great honor. We've achieved lot together. It's together is what happened. Wait'll you see the numbers on November 3rd. Get out and vote. Go early vote. Do whatever you have to do. Make sure they don't cheat you too badly with those ballots.Donald Trump: (06:18)Did you see today? There was big mishap with the ballots. Another one. This is every day they have that, Mike. Every day, big mishap with the ballots. One of them, New York has said, "Well, we're going to change the system little bit." It's little late for doing that, isn't it? New York wants to change their system. They're going to work on something. Governor Cuomo, he's going to work on something now. Well, the ballots are flowing. It's little late.Donald Trump: (06:45)Then in certain location, you know the location, they mailed thousand ballots out. Unfortunately they doubled it up and everybody in this Democrat area got two ballots instead of one. Then two days ago they found eight ballots in wastepaper basket. Unfortunately, they all had the name Trump written on them. We were going to vote for Trump. They were military ballots, the military.Donald Trump: (07:12)Then they have stream in very good state and they found lots of ballots dumped in this stream. Look, look, this is not right. What they're doing is not right. It's all run by these ballots, the ones we're talking about, whether it's Pennsylvania, because we're going to win in Pennsylvania. You got to watch, but you have governor who's in charge of ballots.Donald Trump: (07:35)North Carolina, Michigan, Nevada, all of these places, they're all run by Democrats. They're the ones that count the ballots. Does anybody have even doubt? It's just common sense. It's common sense. We're going to be very careful. We're going to watch. You know we're waiting for rulings from great federal judge in your state, federal judge, about the constitutionality of the whole thing. They're going to try and steal the election. Look at this crap. The only way they can win Pennsylvania, frankly, is to cheat on the ballots. That's the way look at it. That's the way look at it.Donald Trump: (08:13)They just had big thing today. They said there was mistake made on lot of the ballots. They're going to try and redo the system. Take look at Iowa during the primary. Remember the first primary? They couldn't do anything. It was all mess. It was all mess. Good job. Good job. Look at this guy. Good job. Good job. Hey, good job.Speaker 1: (09:04)USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA.Donald Trump: (09:06)That guy, he's going home to his parents now. He's going to be in big trouble. But wait minute, wait, wait. He just opened his mouth and we had that gentleman in the beautiful blue ... Will you stand up? Stand up. Man. Are you in law enforcement because you were on him. This guy hadn't gotten the first word out. That's the kind of guy want working for me right there. Man, great. That was just instinct. That's called natural instinct. Some people have it and some people don't. Unfortunately, most people don't. That's the problem.Donald Trump: (09:50)Under my administration, we proudly achieved energy independence. We are now the number one producer of oil and natural gas in the world. Sleepy Joe Biden has vowed to ban fracking. That's not good for Pennsylvania. You notice now he's trying to pull back?Donald Trump: (10:12)He went to place called Texas, no oil, no God and no guns in Texas. That doesn't work. But you know what? Doesn't work here either. You're big fracker. It's big business here, 900,000 jobs, but he wants to eradicate all of the things that you're doing, all of the things that are bringing in so much money for your state. It's disgrace. Now he's trying to say, "Well, didn't really mean that."Donald Trump: (10:39)That was like Hillary. Remember? She made horrible statement about clean coal and then she went, crooked Hillary, and then she went three weeks later ... agree.Donald Trump: (10:55)All right. used to say, "Now, now, now, we won, we won. Now, don't do it." But didn't say [inaudible 00:11:11], but try and stop it. But now I, she's crazy. Bill is stone cold afraid of her. No, but how about remember the emails? You think we forgot? We didn't forget the emails. You remember the emails when Congress said, "We want 33,000 emails," and they deleted the emails? They deleted everything, the text messages, everything, they deleted. If Mike Kelly did that he'd be out of job so fast. He'd be gone, right? He'd be gone. None of us, we wouldn't last long. mean the corruption.Donald Trump: (11:55)Hey, did you see though, over the last 48 hours, the FBI tapes, the FBI text messages? Trump was right. The one guy says, "Trump was right. He was right. You shouldn't be doing this. Trump was right." He was the honest one. But they brought him along. We need insurance. We have to get insurance for this. This is wrong, what we're doing. Trump was right.Donald Trump: (12:18)It turned out that it was whole big dis-information deal. You know who the guilty party is? The Democrats and Hillary, they were the ones that dealt with Russia. It wasn't us, which we've been saying for long time. No, these text messages just came out. Did you see that? They just came out.Donald Trump: (12:41)We went through two and half years of lot of work and they ruined lot of people. Look at General Flynn. Look at what happened. Those messages about General Flynn last night just came out. They knew he was innocent. They said, "We want Flynn in order to get Trump. We want Flynn." They were after Trump. It came out loud and clear. They were after Trump.Donald Trump: (13:03)I'll tell you what, we got to get back to Congress and go after these people. These people are sick. They're sick. It was whole big con job with shifty Schiff and the whole group. Shifty Schiff, he gets up and says totally different thing than what said, totally different. They say, "Sir, you can't go after him because he's shielded because he made this speech." He totally lied. He made it in Congress and he can say anything.Donald Trump: (13:32)See, it shouldn't be the opposite. When you're in Congress, you should be more honest. What sleazebag he is, right? He [crosstalk 00:13:40]. What sleazebag he is. What jerk. What jerk. We got to deal with people like that. I'll tell ya. I'll tell ya. How do you come together with people like that, they're totally dishonest, because want the country to come together. We were coming together until we got hit with plague from China. We were coming together. was getting calls from stone, cold, radical left, hard line Democrats, let's start talking. I'm telling you, because we had the best unemployment numbers we ever had, the best economy, best stock market, although the stock market right now is just about there.Donald Trump: (14:24)Success will bring us together. Then we got hit with the plague from China and now we have to do it all over again. It's make America great again again. That's what we got to do. But we saved millions of lives by doing what we did.Donald Trump: (14:40)When they ask about fracking, sleepy Joe Biden said that he would make sure it's eliminated. This was just little while ago. Then he gets the nomination, he goes, "Well, didn't think fracking's that bad." It's amazing, isn't it? That's what you call really dishonest, dumb politician. dumb guy. He's dumb guy. Always known as the dumb guy.Donald Trump: (15:05)But we look forward to seeing him in the debate. He's got lot more experience. He's got 47 years. I've got three and half years, so we'll see. He's got 47 years of experience. always sort of smile when he said, like [inaudible 00:15:18], "We should have done this. We should have done that. We should have," all these things. said, "Why didn't you do them?" He's been there for ... It's not like he left 20 years ago, 47 years and he left three and half years ago. Why the hell didn't you do them? Now he went, it's all these great ideas. That's real beauty.Donald Trump: (15:36)Days ago, Biden reiterated his pledge to require net zero carbon emissions, which he doesn't have any idea what that means, shutting down all fracking and sending you jobs overseas, like they've been doing. I'm bringing your jobs back. They're all coming back. I'll keep your jobs in Pennsylvania where they belong. That's where they belong, what they've done to you and other States.Donald Trump: (16:04)Joe Biden's agenda would also be nightmare for Pennsylvania seniors. Do we have any seniors here? Don't raise your hand. Do we have any seniors? Look how few people raised their hands? can see some seniors. We're proud of it. Right?Donald Trump: (16:22)For years, Biden tried to cut Social Security and Medicare. You know that. He wants to go ... You know what's going to happen. They're going to go with socialized medicine if they ever got in.Donald Trump: (16:32)Remember Obama, what he said? By the way, Obama knew all about the scam. He knew all about this coup. He knew all about spying on my campaign. He knew everything. Somebody said, "Well, we can't go." They have him [inaudible 00:16:49], they have him [inaudible 00:16:49].Donald Trump: (17:01)Remember said they were spying on my campaign long time ago? The internet blew up. How dare he say that? It turned out to be true. Then it was the coup because got in. Now they said, "All right, he got in. We couldn't stop him. Now we're going to try taking it away." Can you believe it? This is the USA. No, seriously, can you believe it? We caught them. All these text messages, and from what hear, they have some real beauties coming out over the next couple of days, so [crosstalk 00:17:27]. When somebody said, "Oh, you can't do that. He was president." Well I'm president too and they would not stop. promise. These people are sick. They're bad people.Donald Trump: (17:42)Remember when Biden said, "When argued that we should freeze federal spending, meant Social Security." He meant this. He said, "When argued," and he wanted to freeze all this federal spending, he's not going to take care of your Medicare. He's not going to take care of your Social Security. If he gets in, he's going to have nothing to say because the radical left will control it and he's going to do socialized medicine, as sure as you're sitting or standing there. don't, can't even tell the hell difference. You're sitting.Donald Trump: (18:17)Isn't it nice we got seats for people? Who would do that? Look at all the police back there. Are they the greatest? Great guys. They're great people. We got so many endorsements, don't even talk about them anymore. We have so many police endorsements. New York City's finest, never did it before. They endorsed me. They endorsed us for president. They could solve that problem in New York. All they'd have to do is let them do ...Donald Trump: (19:03)They could solve that problem in New York. All they'd have to do is let them do their job and don't take billion dollars away and fire some of the best people on the force, which is what they did. We got Chicago. Think of that. Chicago police endorse me. How about that? This is not easy to do. You're dealing with radical left people. We got endorsed by all the sheriffs in Florida, all law enforcement in Florida. We got endorsed by Texas, Oklahoma. We got endorsed by... Does anybody know of any police area or group that has not endorsed us? We're looking for them. We're looking.Donald Trump: (19:37)Now Biden is pledging to give federal healthcare to illegal aliens, which is decimating. Medicare. Just saying this, that we all have heart. We want to help people. But the problem is when you say that, people that never even thought of coming to the United States say, "Let's go." "Where are we going?" We get free education. We get free Medicare free healthcare. And then jokingly said, one time, "Everybody gets beautiful brand new Rolls Royce." And CNN said, "He lied. He said that all illegal immigrants got $750,000 car." It's true. They said he lied. didn't. was only kidding. They said lied over the Rolls Royce. You remember when said, "Russia, if you're listening, find her emails." Or whatever the hell said. "Find her emails." And then we all laughed together. 25,000 people in the stadium on television. Look at all the cameras on television. Look at those people. Look at all those red lights that are going on. They're standing in the rain just like am, but they don't like it. But do you remember? But the problem is they cut it off exactly before we all started to laugh together. Right? And for two years they've been saying, "He dealt with Russia. He asked Russia to please get her emails." Or whatever the hell we were asking for "Russia, if you're listening, please get..." The whole place cracks up along with me. In fact, they cut off my last word. You know, they got to cut it short because they don't want to see any sign.Donald Trump: (21:18)This is how dishonest. They are really, I'll tell you, they're so bad for the country. But I'll take it back for right now. Because right now it's live all over the place. We'll let it go. You know what? Let's say it at the end instead. Because so often I'll say, "You know, they're CNN, they're totally corrupt. They're fake." And you see the light go off there, the red light. said, "I got to stop saying that." Do you think it's wet enough out here? They all said, "Sir, would you need hat?" said, "What the hell hat is going to match this beautiful tie that I've just..." got red one. don't know, red and whatever the hell color this is. Red is not going to go well with this color. Nah, it's fine. like seeing the rain with my friends from Pennsylvania. don't care. We're in the rain together. We're in the rain together.Donald Trump: (22:33)Thank you. Thank you very much. We're in the rain together. That's all right. We'll stay out here all night if we have to, right? But I'll tell you, so many interesting things are going on. When look at their plans... Did you see their plans? The manifesto? That's the Bernie Sanders and AOC manifesto. Normally when you negotiate with communists, because don't think it's... Haven't they gone over the... don't think it's... This is no longer socialism. We're dealing with worst than socialism. This is communism. But when you deal with socialist communists, you're supposed to bring them little bit to the right, right? You're Democrat, you bring... They started with plan and they went further left. This plan is the most horrible. We call it the manifesto. Bernie Sanders. Crazy Bernie. But you know the one thing they agree with us? On trade. Because we are being ripped off by so many countries. I've stopped lot of it.Donald Trump: (23:33)I mean, had to devote lot of time to fake impeachment. Now you see how fake the impeachment was. What about Biden's son getting three and half million dollars from the wife of the mayor of Moscow? And then they say, "Donald Trump is dealing with Russia. Donald Trump." never even made call. "Donald Trump is dealing." This guy got three and half million dollars from the wife of the mayor of Moscow. What the hell was that for?Donald Trump: (24:07)Probably his great experience in energy, but he didn't have that. And then it revealed yesterday that he got lot more money from China than we thought and he got lot more money, right? It's just all stuff. It's like perfect. It's like unbelievable. But he got lot more money from China and the 100, the 83 or 63,000 month that he was getting, now it looks like it was 183,000 month. And he got an upfront payment of $3 million from Ukraine. This is because of his great knowledge of energy, but he had none. They said, "Do you know anything about energy?" "No, don't happen to know anything." Oh. And then the father called for the prosecutor, "Get him out or you're not getting your billion dollars from the United States." Whoa. They got him out and here's your billion. That's not quid pro quo. Right?Donald Trump: (25:01)But perfect phone call is quid pro quo where nothing was... It's disgrace. Well, hopefully we're getting to the bottom of all that stuff because we got plenty. Biden's plan for mass amnesty would bankrupt your social security system. You remember me when got elected, they all said, "Oh, he's going to hurt..." They love to say that's going to hurt because they give dis-information. They say lie like the soldiers and the graves and they put it in. Can you imagine? No animal that know would say that. Nobody. They make up lie and then they go with it. Social security. They said four years ago. Now they said again. By the way, your social security, we never touched it. Not even touched it. They said he will destroy your social security. No. They will destroy it because they'll destroy your country and your social security will be worthless. That's what's going to happen.Donald Trump: (25:52)In just three and half years, we've secured America's borders, rebuilt the awesome power of the US military, obliterated 100% of the ISIS [inaudible 00:07:07]. Fixed our disastrous trade deals and brought jobs back home to America and back home to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Under 16 years of presidents, Obama and Bush, household income rose only $2,945. These are right out of the book. So 16 years, less than 3,000. In three years with us, it rose 6,483. So much less than half [inaudible 00:07:42]. And if you include energy savings, how do you like paying those $2 for gasoline and even less [inaudible 00:26:51]? And your electric bill is way down.Donald Trump: (26:54)We're number one in the world. How do you like that? If you include that, it's $10,000. That's over three years, three and half years. We lifted 6.6 million people out of poverty, which is wreck. We built the greatest economy in the history of the world. Now we are very, very rapidly... You see the numbers. It's happening all over again. We've added historic 10.6 million jobs in the last four months. There's never been record like that. We've added more jobs than any time, four months, not even close. To fight the China virus, we launched the largest national mobilization since World War II.Donald Trump: (27:31)They said, "How did you do it?" say we get an plus, but get D in public relations because we were so busy working. When you give it to the fake news, they report it incorrectly. So figured what's the use of even dealing with it? We did job, including ventilators that nobody had. We took over. The cupboards were bare when we took over. We pioneered life saving therapies, reducing the fatality rate 85% since April. Whoever heard of that? And Europe, which is having big surge right now, they used to use Europe, "Oh, look how Europe is doing." We're doing well. We don't want them to have surge. Europe has had almost 50% greater excess mortality rate than the United States. You don't want to hear that. They don't want to tell you that. Early and aggressive action saved millions of lives through operation warp speed. We will develop and distribute vaccine in record time.Donald Trump: (28:34)We're going to have it very, very soon. They're very upset with the vaccine. They're very upset with the vaccine because it's happening too soon. They don't want it now. Even though it's saving lives, it's going to save tremendous lives, they don't want to hear it. They don't want to hear about the therapies. They just want to get through the election. heard one state... Did you hear this? We're going to open up our schools on November 6th. Oh. told you that, right? Don't worry about it, Pennsylvania. Your state's going to be open like on November 4th. This was some idiot. And now they're excoriating this person that said it. They're excoriating the person that said it. We're to open up out of schools in November 6 to latest November 9th. Oh, that's nice. Got to open your schools. You've got to open up your state. Open it up.Donald Trump: (29:23)The ones that are doing well are the ones that opened it up. We will crush the virus. Our opponents will crush America. And that's what it's about. They will. They will deliver crippling shutdown and steep. You will have... If sleepy Joe Biden becomes president, first of all, you're going to have massive tax increase. You're going to see interest rates go through the ceiling. You will have depression, the likes of which this country has never seen before. And I'm including 1929. That was pretty bad one. All right. That's what's going to happen. hope don't get chance to be tested because don't want to be tested. don't want to have him and say, "See, was right." Because with us, you're going to have incredible prosperity. We're cutting taxes and we're growing fast.Donald Trump: (30:09)I'm delivering safe vaccine in record time. That's the other thing with the vaccine because of me and the FAA, they're approving things in fraction of the time. You wouldn't have had vaccine if you had to go through that obsolete process. You wouldn't have had vaccine for two and half more years. On November 3rd, Pennsylvania will decide whether we end the pandemic, defeat the virus and return to record prosperity. Or whether we allow to sleepy Joe Biden to kill the recovery, delay the vaccine, impose $4 trillion tax hike, destroy your suburbs. Everyone is talking about me and the suburbs. knocked out the regulation that allows low-income housing in the suburbs. Then hear oh, the people in the suburbs don't like me. You better like me because you're going to have... Your suburbs aren't going to be so great. They say that women in the suburbs... made the mistake. said, "Housewives living in the suburbs." They said, "Oh, that's politically incorrect." Okay. got killed for that. used the word housewife. Is that an unacceptable term? don't know.Donald Trump: (31:19)They're all saying no. said the housewives in the suburbs. And they said, "Oh, what horrible thing to say." But women, let's be politically correct, women and men in the suburbs, they're changing the zoning so they can build. That's what it is. They're changing the zoning. It was rule, regulation that was disaster. called my people. said, "I want to terminate it." They said, "Sir, we can't do that. Let's just amend it. We'll make it much..." "No, no. You don't understand. don't want to amend it. want to terminate it." "Yes, sir." And we terminated it. We terminated it. But if you believe the fake suburb polls, don't think people in the suburbs know that did that. don't think they know that did it. They say, "We want sleepy Joe Biden." Why? Why do you want him? First of all, you're not getting him. You're getting this maniac who was falling like rock in the polls. He picked somebody that he should have never picked. She was so bad to him. She said such bad things about him. I'm not going to pick somebody that says bad. Then on top of it, 15, 14, 13, 10, eight, seven. Then she went up back to eight. She had big week. And then she went back down. She got out at one or two. She quit before Iowa, right? Then they had the Iowa primary. Because they used these crazy ballots, nobody ever found out who won. And now they want to use it on scale that's thousand times bigger. 80 million ballots. 80 million ballots.Donald Trump: (32:58)They couldn't count small number, but now they're counting. Then they had the race in New York, Carolyn Maloney, terrible, terrible Congresswoman. And they took it away from the guy that was beating her or would have beat her. But they're missing massive. It sounded like they're missing 1%, which would be unacceptable. 1%, you can win by 1%, right? You can win by 1/10 of 1%. But they're losing... Like there was one area think 41% of the ballots were missing. 41. These people are crazy. This is going to be disaster. And all I'm asking is people go out to vote. Go out to vote and stop with this nonsense because we're going to be counting ballots for the next two years.Donald Trump: (33:40)I don't want to end up in the Supreme Court, and don't want to go back to Congress either. Even though we have an advantage if we go back to Congress. Does everyone understand that? think it's 26 to 22 or something because it's counted one vote per state. So we actually have an advantage. Oh, they're going to be thrilled to hear that. I'm sure they're trying to figure out how can we break that one? Biden wants to confiscate your guns and indoctrinate your children with poisonous anti-American lies in schools, right? To combat the toxic left wing propaganda in our schools, announced last week that we are launching new pro-American lesson plan for students called the 1776 Commission. We'll teach our children the truth about America, that we are the most exceptional nation on the face of the earth. We are only getting better. We're getting better. This is healing for us. This is the most important election we've ever had. I'm telling you. used to say like even couple of months ago, well, how do you... Like 2016, that was pretty exciting. Right? Was that exciting? Was that the coolest night? Trump is winning Florida. He's winning North Carolina. He's winning Pennsylvania. He's winning Michigan. He's winning Wisconsin. He's winning everything. What the hell is going on? And people crying. They're crying. The anchors, the non-biased anchors are crying. watched an interview with person on MSBNC. don't watch it much, but watched because sleepy Joe was on. She's like, "Did you see that interview yesterday?" And she's very tough. Very tough. She's very nasty. She's feeding him, can't answer it. So what she's doing is... "No, no, isn't it true? Isn't it true that Trump is horrible human being?" Well, yeah. As we discussed before, it's true. This was the worst, most obvious... And this was killer. This person is very tough. It is so rigged. The whole thing is rigged. We got to beat the system, and we're beating the system. Sometimes I'll look and I'll have somebody in the office that's corrupt media person. And I'll be sitting there complaining how unfair it is. Then I'll be sitting in the Oval Office, but I'll be saying how unfair it is. Then I'll look around the Oval Office. say, "Wait minute. It's unfair, but oh, we're in the Oval Office and you're not." stopped complaining, Mike. They said, "Oh, this is the Oval Office. Isn't it?"Donald Trump: (36:41)Joe Biden has surrendered his party to the flag burners, rioters, the anti-police radicals, the anarchists. His running mate urged supporters to donate to fund that bailed out riders out of jail, including an attempted cop killer. Let's get him out of jail. 13 members of Biden's staff donated to the same fund. They donated lot of money too. We want to get these people out. We want to be called in. You saw what we did in Minneapolis. She called us like week and half too late. We went in. How long did that take? About half hour. It was over. We brought in the National Guard. We told Seattle we're coming in and they left that night. We're all set to go in. was so disappointed. was disappointed.Donald Trump: (37:35)We were going to make big statement, but we couldn't because they said, "Okay." They left. Shouldn't have told them. Next time, don't tell them. If you look at Portland, what mess, right? That's an anarchist. That's sort of like different... Chicago's mess. New York, what they've let happen to New York. And we have these great police in Chicago and New York. They can do the job. Just let them do the job. It's terrible. But you look at-Donald Trump: (38:03)The job, it's terrible. But, you look at Portland. Portland is anarchist, and you had the guy two weeks ago, remember he shot and killed the young man in the middle of the street, just shot him like ... Oh, don't want to even say like what because his parents are so devastated. young man and they shot him and killed him, this one guy, this one animal. Two and half ... That's right, over his hat. Not our hat, it was another hat, it was Christian hat. It was Christian hat, he was Christian. He was Christian, and they shot him, killed him instantly. This guy that shot him, everybody knew who he was, right? said, after two days, "Where is he? Did you arrest him?" No, we didn't. After two and half days, "Did you arrest him?" Then put out on social media, "Why didn't you arrest him?"Donald Trump: (38:52)You know what, the U.S. Marshal saw it. They went in, and he pulled gun on them, and 15 minutes it was all over. None of our guys were hurt, and he was dead. This guy was stone cold killer, and yet they say he was protestor. He's not protestor, an anarchist and killer, and the U.S. Marshals, thank you. That was an incredible job they did, brave. But the U.S. Marshals ... We can solve that problem so easy, we'd put them in there so easy, but they don't want, the governor doesn't want them. The governor wants to leave it that way. Can you imagine what messed up ... But many, ...Donald Trump: (39:33)This is for years that's been going on in Portland. said, "What do the streets look like?" They said, "You wouldn't believe it. People put up 2 4 Sill fronts. They don't want to buy new because they know somebody's going to knock them down within two weeks. It's terrible thing. The Democrat party's war on cops is putting our police officers at risk. As president, will always stand with the heroes of law enforcement. You see how much the people love you? They really do. You know, you don't hear that. You don't hear that, but the people love and respect the job you do. You know, you don't hear it because these maniacs right back there, they don't know what they're writing. They do love you and respect you so much. So, thank you very much, thank you.Donald Trump: (40:36)That's why law enforcement organization around the country, all organizations, that's why they're endorsing me and strongly opposing my opponent, and the radical left. My opponent, again, is controlled like puppet by these people, by these crazy people. I'm proud to have received the first-ever unanimous endorsement from the largest police union in the world, the Fraternal Order of Police. The largest in the world, and we're joined tonight by their president. fantastic guy, friend of mine, Pat Yoes, and several hundred of their brave officers. Pat, come on up. Come on up here, Pat.Pat Yoes: (41:35)Mr. President, thank you. You know, across this Nation there are some 800,000 police officers who put on uniform every day, men and women who go into communities and place their own safety at risk to protect our communities across America. It seems like overnight people have turned their back on America's law enforcement. We went from public servants to public enemies overnight because many politicians turned their back on us. You, Sir, have never turned your back on America's law enforcement. So Sir, am here to tell you that on behalf of America's largest law enforcement organization, rank and file police organization, we give you our unanimous and enthusiastic endorsement, and we will not turn our back on you. Together we are going to make America safe again. Thank you.Donald Trump: (42:30)Thank you. Wow. Wow. Thank you very much, thank you.Crowd: (42:39)We love Trump. We love Trump.Donald Trump: (42:39)Thank you.Crowd: (42:39)We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump.Donald Trump: (42:39)Thank you very much.Crowd: (42:39)We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump.Donald Trump: (43:07)Thank you very much. November 3rd, get out there and vote, and keep your eyes open if you see any shenanigans, which you probably will, okay? If you see people like dumping things, flushing things. If you see people dropping them in wastepaper basket, seven or eight, right, wastepaper. Keep your eyes open. This is smart group of people right here.Donald Trump: (43:28)Also with us are group of warriors from Washington that are fantastic, that love you. We'll start Dan Meuser. Dan, thank you very much. Where's Dan? That's not very good location, Dan. It's not like you. Thank you, Dan. Congressman Scott Perry. Scott. Thank you, Scott. Great job. These are warriors, I'm telling you. They fight as hard as you can fight, every one of them. Lloyd Smucker. Lloyd. Thank you. Thank you, Lloyd. Thank you. Thank you, Lloyd. Great job. Congressman Fred Keller. Thank you, Fred. Great job. The great John Joyce. Thanks, John. real good friend of mine, and somebody that I'll tell you he's as tough as they come, and he loves Pennsylvania, Mike Kelly. Thank you, Mike.Donald Trump: (44:43)Do you like having these guys by your side? Also, man, sort of legend would say around here. He told me long time ago, four years ago he told me, "You're going to win." said, "How do you know?" He said, "I know, know. can tell." He said, "I see people with Trump stuff on that never cared about politician in their life. Now they've got the hat, and the sash, and the belt, and the shoes." He said, "I've never seen ..." He called it long time ago. Former Congressman. We've got to get him back in, guess. Well, he left because he had lot of good things to do, but he's fantastic. Oh, we got to get him back, Lou Barletta. Great guy. We have congressional candidate who hear is leading, Jim Bognet. Where's Jim? Jim, hear you're leading, Jim. We'll get involved. You have my total endorsement, okay. You know that. Total endorsement for Jim? My Pennsylvania Campaign Chair, Bernie Comfort. Bernie, thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Bernie. Great job. What great job, huh? Wow. Have you done job? Thank you. How are we doing by the way, Bernie?Bernie Comfort: (46:02)How are we doing, Candidate?Donald Trump: (46:09)You have done it. Thank you very much. Also, state GOP Chairman, friend of mine for long time, Lawrence Tabas. Lawrence, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That's great group of people. Thank you all. We're going to have big victory. Lawrence, you agree with Bernie, right? think we're going to have big, big victory, bigger than even four years ago. That was good. Remember they wouldn't announce it. We were like point up, which some people say is lot. think we'll do lot better this time, because at that time said was going to do things but, you know, lot of people say things. Now I've accomplished more than ever said would in the campaign, so it's different.Donald Trump: (46:56)I think we're going to have the kind of numbers that people are going to be very surprised at. We've spent the last four years reversing the damage Joe Biden inflicted over his 47 years in politics, along with his other friends. He championed every globalist betrayal of Pennsylvania for almost half century. He supported NAFTA. got rid of that one. South Korea, renegotiated that one. TPP, got out of that one. China's entry into the World Trade Organization which he said was wonderful thing. No it wasn't, it was terrible thing. That's when China took off like rocket ship, but you know what, China was going to overtake us. For 10 years they said, "2019, 2019, they're going to overtake ..." Guess what, we way outdid them in '18 and '19, and we picked up.Donald Trump: (47:53)If you have somebody smart, you got to have somebody smart, but if you have somebody smart in this position, your President, they'll never overtake you. They'll never ever ... They have more people but they'll never overtake you if you have somebody smart. Biden's NAFTA and China deals wiped out one-third of your state's manufacturing jobs. You know that better than anybody. Biden shouldn't be asking for your vote, he should be begging for your forgiveness. That's little hokey, little hokey, but [inaudible 00:48:24].Donald Trump: (48:27)In true sense this election is choice between Pennsylvania and China, or whatever state we're talking about and China, but we're doing well. You know, it's interesting, we signed great deal. The farmers have done more business in the last two or three weeks. Biggest corn orders ever. The biggest soybean, biggest cattle, biggest beef orders. But, you know, it doesn't mean as much to me. The ink wasn't even dry and the plague came over. Am right? It wasn't even dry, it just doesn't mean what it would have meant. We made great deal but it doesn't mean the same anymore, because they could have stopped it from coming here. If Biden wins, China wins, and where's Hunter wins. Where's Hunter? Where's Hunter?Donald Trump: (49:09)He's guy walks into China walks out with billion and half dollars to manage, and the most sophisticated guys in Wall street, know I'm this smart, they can't do that, and it took him 10 minutes, walked out with billion and half dollars to manage. You make millions of dollars year on that. When we win, Pennsylvania wins, and America wins, and that's what's happening. For decades our politicians spent trillions of dollars rebuilding foreign nations, fighting foreign wars in areas and countries that you'd never even heard of, and defending foreign borders. Now we're finally protecting our nation, rebuilding our cities, and we are bringing our jobs, our factories, and our troops back home to the USA where they belong.Crowd: (49:57)USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA.Donald Trump: (50:18)Now our opponents are pledging to rejoin the job-killing Paris Climate Accord, disaster for our country. It was meant to hurt us, it was meant really to take advantage of us. We would have spent trillions of dollars. You would have ended up closing lot of your plants and factories. said, "I'm going to do this, I'm going to get out of this crazy deal," and did. said, "Oh, they're going to kill me." You know what, the people got it. They understood it. It was ripping off our country, because we have things that they don't have, like unbelievable wealth under our ground. They don't want us to use it. Oh, that's nice, that's wonderful thing. Thank you very much. withdrew from that catastrophe because was elected to fight for Pennsylvania, not for Paris. We're putting America first. It's been long time, right? From day one put America first. To defend our workers imposed tariffs on foreign aluminum and foreign steel. saved our auto industry by withdrawing from the horrible Trans-Pacific Partnership. It would have killed ...Donald Trump: (51:25)What I've done for Michigan, in particular, also Pennsylvania, but what I've done for them with autos, forget it. They're building 17, or expanding 17, different plants. They hadn't built one in 42 years and we're building lot of them. We have countries, you want to do business with us, go in and build auto plants. ended the NAFTA nightmare and signed the brand new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement into law, which is great. You're not going to be losing companies to Mexico and Canada, very disadvantageous for them to do that. took the toughest ever action to stand up to China's rampant theft of Pennsylvania's jobs. proudly signed the historic Executive Order making it official government policy to buy American and hire American.Donald Trump: (52:19)Now, watched Biden two weeks ago. What's going on? This lid, do you know what lid is? He keeps putting, Bernie, keeps putting lid. He's got lid. It's 8:00 o'clock in the morning. Now lid means you're out for the day. That means the fake news media can go home. You know, he's got one ... Isn't that the easiest job I've ever seen, they never have to work. The media, please go home. There won't be any activity from sleepy Joe Biden today. He's low-energy individual. Now, you need president with lot of energy. You deal with President Xi of China, President Putin of Russia, Kim Jong-un. Remember we're going to be in war with North Korea, right? What happened? What happened to the war? lot happened? We didn't do anything, say anything. We didn't do anything but millions of people could have been killed in that nuclear war, it probably would have been nuclear. But look at it. You know, getting along with these foreign nations is not bad thing. They say, "Oh, he gets along." Yeah.Donald Trump: (53:28)I asked Obama, was sitting ... He told me the biggest problem we had was North Korea, and he was telling me why. He was telling me lots of horror stories. said, "Uh, excuse me, have you ever tried calling him?" got nominated for two Nobel Peace Prizes. Can you believe it? One is for Israel and Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates, right? By the way, many countries are coming and they're all calling now. "We want to come in." They're going to all come in. No more blood in the sand. No, we just did it smart. We reversed it. The art of the deal. It's the art of common sense, let me tell you. We reversed it, and many countries are going to come in.Donald Trump: (54:24)I told this story the other night. Then got one for Kosovo and Serbia. They've been killing each other for many years, just killing each other. They don't get along, they don't. They're sort of like the Palestinians and Israel. So, have two, have Kosovo and ... You know, we're dealing with both of them. said to them, "Why are you fighting and killing each other?" They have lot of differences, including religious difference, guess. said, "What are you doing?" We trade with both, so we have certain power. So said, "Listen, let's get deal. Let's make economic peace, and ultimately peace." They came to my office, the Oval Office, to sign. They were hugging. They were so, mean it was beautiful thing to see. We saved lot of lives.Donald Trump: (55:04)I told this last night, said to my, ... said to my great First Lady, our great First Lady. "Melania," said, "Melania, First Lady." said, "First Lady, Oh, I've got to watch television tonight. I'm going to come home early," because let me tell you 6:30 is very early. stay in there late. "I'm going to come home early. I'm going to show you what great job. just got nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, and we're going to sit there and I'm going to just soak it in, Darling. Let's turn on NBC fake news, Lester Holt. Number two rated show, he's number two, heading south. find NBC to be worse than the other [inaudible 00:55:58]. They spend all that money on their PR and screw it up in one evening like this.Donald Trump: (56:02)When Obama got it nobody knew what he got it for, including him. Remember, they said, "What did you get it for?" "I don't know." That's how different ... We have to work harder. He got Nobel Prize and he didn't have any idea why he got it, and then he started dropping bombs two weeks later on some place that didn't work out. It couldn't work out because he had John Kerry negotiating, who was the worst incompetent. Now, it's so sad that Iran, that horrible deal. That was fast plane. That must've been one of the new ones we just bought. We have all new equipment, that was scary. If I'm the enemy don't want to hear that sound.Donald Trump: (56:50)I said to our First Lady, First Lady, turn on the television, turn it on, Darling. It's going to be big evening. I'd toast you but don't drink, Darling. just don't drink. Not so-Donald Trump: (57:03)I'd toast you, but don't drink tonic. Just don't drink. Not so bad. So we turned it on and they did story on the weather. It was raining heavily in certain area, and they did story on something else, something else, and something else. Then they went into another story, then another, and then they had commercial that lasted for about nine minutes. Even though they're not supposed to make money, they're using our free airwaves for fake news. Okay. They're using free airwaves. Think about that. We're thinking about that. We're thinking about that. Why are they using free airwaves to give fake news? So it came toward the end, said, "Darling, I'm little embarrassed." But the following day, got nominated for another one. called her up. said, "Maybe they forgot. So let's go home and turn on the television."Donald Trump: (57:47)It was the same thing. They had another story that this time they're cleaning up the rain. Another one, another one, another one, got to the commercial, never ended, kept back little tiny piece. And said, " They didn't cover two Nobel prizes." got two in one week. Did you ever hear that one? For different things, totally unrelated. And my only complaint is should have gotten about seven or eight, because if you knew some of the other things, some of the other things I've done them much better. should have gotten seven.Donald Trump: (58:17)But the fake news never even put it on. And somebody had show where they said the amount of time devoted to Donald Trump's Nobel Peace Prize, two of them, zero on the network, zero, than the amount of time devoted to something else that was negative for somebody in the Republican party. Like infinite. It is so disgraceful. They're so bad, but we just have to keep on winning. There's nothing like winning. Just keep on winning. Keep on winning.Donald Trump: (58:52)See now, they'll tell that story differently. They won't tell it as we do it in fun, because understand them. You have to laugh. If you can't laugh, you'd be out of here fast, right? Like Beto when he said, "I was born to run for president." That was on magazine. He was on fake magazine, Vanity Fair, which is dying. That sucker's dying. Boy, those magazines are going down fast. But he was on fake magazine, Vanity Fair, think. And he started saying about he had good week, good week. And he started saying, "I was born to do this. was born to run for president." said, "He's not going to last very long." And about two weeks later, it was over. He was put in charge of taking your guns away, though. Bye-bye, you know that, right? Beto, Beto, how do you get the name Beto? He made it little Spanish because his last name is Beto O'Rourke. Where does the Beto come from? Another phony deal going on there.Donald Trump: (59:49)To protect American workers during the pandemic, suspended the entry of foreign workers who threatened U.S. jobs, and we will always care for our citizens first. Biden's pledge to terminate these protections and give away your jobs, under my administration, we've achieved the most secure border in U.S. history. And we are just finishing beautiful wall. That wall 340 miles, 340. They don't talk about the wall.Crowd: (01:00:26)Build that wall, build that wall.Donald Trump: (01:00:28)Build that wall, build that wall.Crowd: (01:00:28)Build that wall, build that wall, build that wall.Donald Trump: (01:00:34)They don't talk about the wall. got sued by Nancy Pelosi, crazy Nancy. got sued, and made one big mistake in the wall. always say, "We have to build the wall, build the wall, build the wall," right? should have just said very simply, "We will not build the wall." The money would have come pouring. They would have insisted that we build it. And remember, walls work. Remember when they said walls don't work? Walls don't work. They want to give us drones so we can watch the people pour across the border. Drones, put drone half mile up in the air. You can watch everybody come into the United States. No, remember that, though? They said...Donald Trump: (01:01:17)Well, but two things work, and say it all the time. When you come up, when you're brilliant scientist, you develop new chip, you develop new laptop or computer, in about three weeks, it's obsolete. It's worthless, right? wall will never be obsolete. And what else won't be obsolete. wheel. There's two things that will never be obsolete, wall and wheel. Everything else is trouble. Now we're up to 330 miles. We're averaging 10 miles week. It's everything to Border Patrol because got them in. said, "Fellows, could you give me little less expensive version, please?" But we have great wall going, and it'll be finished very soon. But the press doesn't talk about the wall anymore. They don't want to talk. It's not good subject for them.Donald Trump: (01:02:04)Since 2017, ICE has successfully arrested half million illegal aliens with criminal records, including over 145,000 assaults, over 40,000 sex offenses and 5,000 killings. want to thank ICE. Boy, they get beat up. They get beat up by the media. They're incredible. You would have... Think of the hundreds of thousands of people they take out of here. Real bad ones, too. Murderers, killers, drug dealers. By contrast, Joe Biden supports open borders, zero deportations. That's in the manifesto. And sanctuary cities that release violent criminal aliens. That's what they are. They protect the criminal, not our people.Donald Trump: (01:02:52)If you want to end sanctuary cities, you have only one choice, and that's vote Republican. You know how bad it is. All of these places that you're reading about, all of them, they're all Democrat-run cities and states. All of them. They're all Democrat-run because they have no law and order. All they have to do is call us and say, we'll be in, but they have no law and order. They have nothing. They're all Democrat-run. They're disaster.Donald Trump: (01:03:19)We invested $2.5 trillion in the U.S. military and launched the first new branch of the U.S. Armed Forces in nearly 75 years, the Space Force. And that's going to be very important. did more in 47 months than sleepy Joe Biden did in 47 years. That's true. It's true. We killed the founder and leader of ISIS, al-Baghdadi. We took out the world's number one terrorist and the mass murderer of American troops and others, Soleimani. withdrew from the last administration's disastrous Iran nuclear deal. They paid $150 billion for nothing. They got nothing. don't mind the 150. What mind, they gave 1.8 billion in cash. What is one point... That would fill up this whole area. Right? 1.8, plane loads of cash. That's when realized that president is very powerful. When you can do that, send that money to foreign country and no friend, it's crazy.Donald Trump: (01:04:29)I kept my promise, recognized the true capital of Israel, and opened the American embassy in Jerusalem. You know who likes that the most? Evangelicals like it the most. You know that? Evangelicals love it. We were just with Franklin Graham and lot of great people. They had very successful event at the Mall today. don't know if you heard about it. It was great. Franklin Graham, all of the top evangelical and other leaders. They were great. They were at the White House ceremony today for the Justice. also recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. And instead of the endless wars, we are forging peace all over the Middle East and it's costing nothing, costing nothing. Not killing people, no blood in the sand. They're tired of fighting, by the way, just in case. Even these people that like to fight, they're tired. Nineteen years in Afghanistan, they're tired. They all want to sort of relax, as tough as they may be.Donald Trump: (01:05:38)Joe Biden opposed the mission to take out Osama bin Laden. He opposed killing Soleimani. He voted for the Iraq War. He backed the disastrous Iran nuclear deal, total horror show. And he cheered the rise of China as very positive development for the United States. Okay? Not so positive. Now Biden is pushing the most far left platform in the history of our country. The Biden plan would destroy Social Security and destroy protections for pre-existing conditions. You know that.Donald Trump: (01:06:11)They want to go socialized medicine. Socialized medicine, go to hospital and take care of yourself. Get rid of 180 million private plans that people love. He would terminate our travel bans on jihadist regions. We won the travel ban, remember? And increase refugee admission 700%, opening the flood gates to radical Islamic terrorism. He wants to ban school choice and ban charter schools. Terrible. In second term, will provide school choice to every parent in America.Donald Trump: (01:06:48)A vote for Republicans is vote for safe communities, great jobs, and limitless future for all Americans. And in conclusion, over the next four years, we will make America into the manufacturing superpower of the world. And we will end our reliance on China once and forever. About time. We will make our medical supplies right here in the United States. We will hire more police, increase penalties for assaults on law enforcement, and we will ban deadly sanctuary cities. We will uphold religious liberty, free speech, and the right to keep and bear arms, the Second Amendment. Right? Second Amendment.Donald Trump: (01:07:41)We will strike down terrorists who threaten our citizens, and we will keep America out of these endless, ridiculous, stupid, foreign wars in countries that you've never even heard of. We will maintain America's unrivaled military might, and we will ensure peace through strength. You know, we rebuilt our military. You saw it, $2.5 trillion. We have weapons, mean, just to talk about them, the likes of which no country has ever seen before, the power, the strength, the incredible talent and engineering. We have weapons the likes of which no country has ever seen before. We are so far advanced over every other country, and hope to God we never have to use them.Donald Trump: (01:08:33)And when got here, we were depleted, tired military with great people, but we were exhausted. We had old jet fighters. Now we have brand new F-35s that are stealth. asked one of the pilots, "How good are these planes compared to the enemy?" He said, "Well, one difference is you can't see our planes." said, "Let me ask you. know too much about flying. That helps, doesn't it?" He said, "It really helps, sir." The guy looked like Tom Cruise, but better. Tom Cruise, but stronger.Donald Trump: (01:09:05)We will end surprise medical billing, require price transparency, and further reduce health insurance premiums and the cost of prescription drugs. We will strongly protect Medicare and Social Security. And we will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions.Donald Trump: (01:09:27)America will land the first woman on the moon, and the United States will be the first nation to land an astronaut on Mars very soon. And NASA has become the preeminent space center again in the world. It was tired. It was over.Donald Trump: (01:09:47)We will stop the radical indoctrination of our students and restore patriotic education to our schools. We will teach our children to love our country, honor our history, and always respect our great American flag. And we will live by the timeless words of our National Motto, "In God we trust." For years, you had president who apologized for America. Now you have president who is standing up for America and standing up for the people of Pennsylvania.Donald Trump: (01:10:35)So get your friends, get your family, get your neighbors, get your coworkers, and get out and vote. Most important election we've ever had. The most important we've ever had. Early voting has already begun, so don't wait. Go out and vote. From Erie to Easton, from Pittsburgh to Harrisburg, and from Allentown to right here in Middletown, we stand on the shoulders of Pennsylvania patriots who gave their blood, sweat, and tears for this beloved nation. This is an incredible place. Our whole history, so much history in Pennsylvania. This is the state where our founding fathers declared American independence. It's where the army weathered it's brutal winter at Valley Forge. Where General George Washington led his men on daring mission across the Delaware, and where our union was saved by the heroes of Gettysburg.Donald Trump: (01:11:41)This is the place where generations of tough, strong Pennsylvania workers minded the call, worked the railroads, and forged the steel that made America into the greatest and most powerful nation in the history of the world. And you haven't seen anything yet. Proud citizens like you helped build this country, and together we are taking back our country. We are returning power to you, the American people. With your help, your devotion, we're going to keep on working. We're going to keep on fighting, and we're going to keep on winning, winning, winning. We are one movement, one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God. And together with the incredible people of Pennsylvania, we will make America wealthy 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.Donald Trump: (01:13:01)Thank you very much. Thank you, Pennsylvania. Go out and vote.
2 Donald Trump: (10:01)There's lot of people. That's great. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. That's big group of people. This is on fast notice, too. Thank you.Crowd: (12:36)USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA.Donald Trump: (12:47)Well, just want to say hello, Minnesota. We love you, Minnesota. You're great. [crosstalk 00:12:53]. We've got to win Minnesota, because they did nothing for Minnesota except close up that beautiful [inaudible 00:13:03] territory. They closed it up with pen. Do you remember that one day? You didn't have your jobs. Then came along, and opened it up. So that's [crosstalk 00:13:11].Donald Trump: (13:12)But I'm thrilled to be here with the beautiful, great, hardworking people of this incredible state. You're really hardworking American patriots. That's what you are, and lot of people haven't been treated right until came along. We've done lot of work and lot of good work, and you had your best year ever last year. The state had the best year you've ever had. 46 days from now, we're going to win Minnesota, and we're going to win four more years in the White House.Donald Trump: (13:48)One of the most vital issues in this election is the subject of refugees. You know it. You know it perhaps better than almost anybody. Lots of luck. You're having good time with the refugees. That's good. We want to have Omar. He said Omar. That's beauty. How the hell did she win the election? How did she win? It's unbelievable. Every family in Minnesota needs to know about sleepy Joe Biden's extreme plan to flood your state with an influx of refugees from Somalia, from other places all over the planet. Well, that's what's happened, and you like Omar lot, don't you? Biden has promised 700% increase in the manifesto with Bernie, right? 700% increase in the importation of refugees from the most dangerous places in the world, including Yemen, Syria, and Somalia. Congratulations, Minnesota. 700% increase. Good luck, Minnesota. Enjoy yourselves, because if I'm not here, if don't win, don't know where I'm going to be. But maybe I'll come over to see Mike. I'll come and see Mike.Donald Trump: (15:15)Your state will be overrun and destroyed, and Biden and the radical Left win. That's what's going to happen. I've been watching it for years. They haven't treated you right. They have not treated Minnesota right.Crowd: (15:28)Four more years. Four more years. Four more years. Four more years. Four more years. Four more years. Four more years. Four more years.Donald Trump: (15:39)Thank you. I'll tell you, these hangers are great. Remember this. It's friendly protest. Please remember this is not rally. You're not allowed to have political rallies of any kind. You're not allowed to go to church. You're not allowed to do anything. The only thing you're allowed to do is run wild through the streets, burn down storefronts, blow up stores, and kill people, because that's considered protest, and that, they allow you to have. You don't have to wear masks at protests. So said, "We can't have rally. The most we can have is ten people. But why don't we just call it protest?", because this is protest. It's protest against stupidity. Speaking about stupidity, sleepy Joe will turn Minnesota into refugee camp. Think of it. 700% increase. So you're not happy now? Look at that guy over there. He's not too thrilled when he hears this. 700% increase is what they have in the manifesto. Now, maybe they don't honor it, but would say they'll go substantially higher than that number. Biden will overwhelm your children's schools, overcrowd their classrooms, and inundate your hospitals. That's what'll happen. Biden has even pledged to terminate our travel ban to jihadist regions, jihadist regions. They've already been doing that to you, haven't they? Opening the flood gates to radical Islamic terrorists.Donald Trump: (17:18)My administration's keeping terrorists, extremists, and criminals the hell out of our country. We don't want them. We don't want them. We've got enough of them. We've got enough of them. Just today, we deported, as you know very well, dozens of Somali nationals charged or convicted with very grave crimes, including rape, assault, robbery, terrorism, and murder, of course. These hardened criminals are back in their country, where they do all the complaining they want, and your children are much safer as result. Thank you, President Trump. Thank you. If it were up to Biden, and it's not. It's the people that's around him. They are seriously radical Left Democrats, and they're very dangerous. The offenders are very dangerous, and they'd be running all over your state. Only by voting for me are you going to say ... But hate to say this, and get it with your iron ore. did it with some other things, and I'll do it for you again. I'll do it for you again. But if you vote for me, I'm the difference, and I'm the wall. You know the wall that we're building on the southern border? I'm your wall between the American Dream and chaos. Joe Biden is wholly owned and controlled by the left wing mob. He has no clue where he is. This is not sharp guy.Donald Trump: (18:57)Years ago, said to certain senator who was very friendly with, Democrat, "Who's the dumbest senator? Who's the smartest senator?" He gave me name for the smartest. said, "Who's the dumbest?" "Oh, Joe Biden. You didn't know that?" That was 25 years ago. That was in prime time. This is no longer prime time for sleepy Joe.Donald Trump: (19:17)They do disinformation. They make things up, and they make commercials. They make things up. I've never seen anything like it. Everything, they make up. First of all, I'm the one protecting your Social Security. They say, "Trump" ... Remember four years ago, they used to say, "Oh, Trump will get rid of Social" ... have protected your Social Security. They're going to destroy your Social Security.Donald Trump: (19:36)Another thing, Big 10 football. Did do good job? Your team better do well. They're on the spot. They better do well. Are they going to do well this year? think so, right? When brought it back. But saw an ad. Do you know why did it, actually? It sort of energized me. Sleepy Joe did an ad that was against football, that was against Big 10 football. Give me break. When saw the ad, said, "What's the problem with Big 10 football?" They said, "They're not going to open." "Why?" They say some stupid reason. said, "These are strong young people. They're going to do great. Let's get going." called the commissioner, Kevin. Good guy, and we sort of started something. We got it rolling. We had big opposition from few of the Democrat states and governors, but we rolled over the opposition, and you have Big 10 football. Congratulations. Congratulations. When the far Left riders rampage across Minneapolis and they rampage across your state, how about your police department? Let's just run for your lives, and it's not their fault. They were told to do that. You have good police department. You have good police, but they're not allowed to do their job. They're not allowed to do their job. Remember that? They were told to leave the precinct. Leave it, and then they knocked the hell out of that precinct, didn't they? Had great mayor. Great mayor. Really, he's real [inaudible 00:21:10]. Remember? Did you ever hear of man, Fiorello La Guardia? Did you ever? don't think that happened with him. New York, don't think it happened with Rudy Giuliani, did it? What great job Rudy did. You realize Rudy's just now really being appreciated. People forgot how good he was as man. He was great mayor.Donald Trump: (21:29)Joe Biden called the peaceful protestors. He said these are peaceful protestors, as opposed to sending in the National Guard. They didn't want the National Guard. Joe Biden said you shouldn't send the National Guard, and this went on day after day after day. pushed, and got it approved. The National Guard went in. It ended within what would you say, half hour? It was about half an hour. You wouldn't have Minneapolis. You better remember this when you go and vote and your voting [crosstalk 00:21:59]. You'd be saying, "Do you remember when we had city called Minneapolis? If you remember, it used to be over there. It's all ashes now. That place was coming down. You didn't have anything, but wasn't that beautiful sight?" Look. All of sudden, you saw one guy in black uniform, then another, then another on the street. Remember that street loaded up with CNN reporters? Remember Ali Velshi, shaved head, nice hair, shaved head? Some people say should do that. Shave the head. Just give it up. [crosstalk 00:22:41]. We polled it. I'd go down about 22 points.Donald Trump: (22:48)They want to poll everything nowadays. don't believe in polls. They poll everything. But Ali Velshi, don't know anything about the guy, but know he was standing there. This is really quite good scene. It's friendly protest. Everyone's acting ... and behind him, the entire city was burning. It's one of the great pictures of all time. The entire city was burning down. That was your city, and it's shame it took so long, but the governor finally did it at least. If you take look at Portland, the governor can't quite do it. She can't get there. speak to her all the time. "Come on, Governor. can straighten out Portland. Give me less than an hour. Just let us have it for" ... because the state has to ask for it. They have to request. It's shame. It's such shame.Donald Trump: (23:38)But in your case, we went, and all of sudden, it was really ... That was going to be bad night, too, right? Remember that, about seven o'clock? Then you see this guy walked out with about $250,000 outfit on. That's because it had more computers and this and that. Got the tear gas deal. He's got the whole deal, pepper spray, got everything, the finest outfit you can buy. Believe me. We just paid for them, and they were very expensive. So we see one, the helmet. How about the helmet with the goggles? You can see at night. You can see at day. You can see whenever the hell you want. So there's one. said, "Oh, that's only one guy." Then you see another three, then four. Then you see another ten. They were just getting out of the buses, coming from very friendly territory.Donald Trump: (24:22)Then you have line, and they were very tight together. There was no social distancing at all, which we're going to have to speak to them about that. No, they were touching. They were touching, right? So you had the first one. Then you had second one. Then you had third one. Then you had another one. Then they said, "March." remember this guy, [inaudible 00:24:42]. He got hit on the knee with canister of tear gas, and he went down. He was down. "My knee, my knee." Nobody cared. These guys didn't care. They moved them aside, and they just walked right to ... It was the most beautiful thing.Donald Trump: (25:00)No, because after we take all that crap for weeks and weeks, they would take this crap, and then you finally see men get up there and go right to ... Wasn't it really beautiful sight? For law and order, law and order. Portland would be easier, because it's more confined. We'd just [inaudible 00:25:19], and that would be it. But so they had four or five lines. Then they had lines of different ... Everybody did the same thing. Did they ever even move one step back? don't think so, right? It was just slow walk right forward. Then they just started walking faster, faster, faster, put lot of guys in jail, Tom, right? Put lot of guys ... Great Congressman, by the way. Put lot of guys in jail. Great. Not good. Great. They put lot of guys in jail that night, Tom, and that was the end of it. don't think he had any problem after that. If you had any flare-ups, we'll send them in again.Donald Trump: (25:52)But that's all you do. These are Democrat-run disasters. Look at Chicago. Look at Portland. Look at you with Minneapolis. These are disasters. By the way, are they still trying to get rid of your police force in Minneapolis? That's what heard. See, they never learn. They never learn. They don't ... You've got lot of people here. That's lot of people.Donald Trump: (26:24)I actually like these. We have the arenas. We've always filled them up. It's been great, and the arenas are good, but usually you have to travel 45 minutes. This thing, you have hangar. The plane becomes your backstop, right? It's like your curtain. It's curtain. You get free curtain. We're outside, which actually makes people happy. It even makes the people that sometimes not everybody here likes happy, because outside is better. It's better, and we're rounding the turn on COVID, by the way. Our vaccines are coming. lot of things are happening. We're rounding the turn. We've done great job. We've done phenomenal job. We don't get credit for that, but we'll discuss that in minute.Donald Trump: (27:03)But when you look at it, when you look at it, our country is amazing. It's an amazing country. We love this country, and we're not going to let radical Left socialist/communists take over our country. Okay? They use the word socialist, and socialists aren't great. But communists are hell of lot worse, and that's where we'd be headed. We're standing in the way of them, this group of people. But you have lot of groups of people just like this, every place we go. Last night, you know where we were. You saw that it was all over the place, right? That's big state. That's great state. Then see the fake polls. just saw poll here, Minnesota. I'm down nine. don't think so. mean, just don't think so. don't think so, right? don't think so. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. This is the craziest thing I've seen.Crowd: (28:12)We want Trump. We want Trump. We want Trump. We want Trump. We want Trump.Donald Trump: (28:13)President Trump is down nine in Minnesota.Crowd: (28:14)We want Trump. We want Trump. We want Trump.Donald Trump: (28:18)Now just saw another plane. See the plane? The good thing about these beautiful Air Force Ones, right? That's the smaller version of Air Force One. think you had little bit short runway. So they take the smaller to save about $12. No, they took the smaller one. But the great thing about those beautiful planes, they have more televisions than any plane in history. We have televisions in the closet, on the ceilings, on the floors. I've never seen them on the ... We have them all over the place, and I'm just coming out. They said, "There he is." They said, "It's smattering of people." They called it smattering. They always do that.Donald Trump: (28:56)Yet Biden with the circles, right? The little circles. He's got like four people in circle. You know why he does the circles? Because he can't draw crowd. So they put circle, like he's supposed to ... He's trying to be legitimate. He's going to go by the science. He always says science. He doesn't know what the word science is. So to have these four or five circles, they put people, that way he doesn't have to be embarrassed when he goes to high school gymnasium and he has 40, 50 people.Donald Trump: (29:22)They had one not so long ago, and you saw this. He couldn't draw crowd. It was big thing. It was his opening or something. Couldn't draw crowd. So they made it round table. So he went in. They only had like 32 people. They said, "This is very embarrassing," one of his people, and that's what they do. They're good. Some of the people surrounding him, they'll say anything and do anything. They said, "Let's not make it speech. There's nobody here. Let's make it round table." So these people are sitting at table. They had no idea, and most of them didn't know anything about politics. They didn't even know why they were there. Now they're sitting on round table, and they're on television. But that's what it is. But they say we had smattering of people. Yes, smattering of about what? 15,000 people in about two days' notice.Donald Trump: (30:11)This doesn't include the 10,000 people, Mike, that they turned away. hate that they turned them away. You'd think with an airport, you wouldn't have to turn anybody away, but they have certain amount. Then sometimes you have Democrats running an airport, and they don't like all these people here. That's true. They don't like it. But if we're up to Biden, your state would be in ruins. Just take look at what they've done, and I'm going to hit it hard. They make phony commercials about me, and it gives me the right. How about the worst one of all, the worst I've ever seen? Standing on grave of fallen soldier, and then they had some guy, source said ... There's no source. The source doesn't exist. They make it up, and then they take it. It's called disinformation. You're not supposed to do that.Donald Trump: (30:59)I'm not even sure if he knows. He's too weak to understand, and he's still weak to control his people. But it allows me to say whatever want about this guy. The truth is, he's not fit to be your President. He's not mentally fit. If Biden's elected, extremists, like representative Ilhan Omar ... Whatever happened to her? You had great writer who has just made living off writing about her. She's done so many criminal acts. Isn't it damn disgraceful that she gets away with it? have to say to myself, say, "How the hell did she get away with that? If we do one" ... Look at General Flynn. He didn't even lie. They said he didn't lie, right? He's gone through hell. He's gone through hell. This guy wrote page after page of criminal acts. Well, let's see what happens. Who the hell knows? But between her and how about AOC? AOC-Donald Trump: (32:00)AOC is running campaign against the guy that was supposed to be speaker of the house. Right? Joe Crowley. knew him little bit. asked him once said, "Are you campaigning against this maniac?" He said, "No, she's just young girl. No problem." called him on election night. Nah, was going to, was going to say, "How did that work out, Joe? That didn't work."Donald Trump: (32:25)He was going to be Speaker Of The House. He's got certain talent. But you know she had no money, nothing. And all of sudden she had $2,000,000 and she spent the $2,000,000 all over the place. Her and her boyfriend. Whatever happened to her? Can you imagine if I'd do that? You have to look at that. She spent the $2,000,000 and big story.Donald Trump: (32:50)But that was it. That's one quick story. Oh man. Probably the guy who wrote the story, lost his job at the New York Times. Right? He's now unemployed, but there's big story. She spent $2,000,000 on bullshit. If Republican did that they'd be in jail. You know that. It's different standard and it's disgrace. And our guys better get on the ball.Donald Trump: (33:17)Look, let me tell you how about yesterday. They were talking about Russia, Russia, Russia. Again, here we go with the Russia. There's never been anybody so tough on Russia with the sanctions. Remember Obama would send pillows. sent tank busters right to Ukraine. I'm the one that exposed the pipeline with Germany. Germany pays them billions and billions of dollars. And then we're supposed to protect Germany from Russia. said, "How does that work? How does that work? You're spending billions of dollars for energy to Russia."Donald Trump: (33:47)It's all okay. I'm the one that exposed it. What I've done ... Hey, they don't want me to go. But if you look, they don't want me to win. Russia doesn't want ... Maybe North Korea does because actually have very good relationship with him. And speaking of North Korea and you know, it's okay to have really. You don't have to go to wars. We don't have to lose our great soldiers.Donald Trump: (34:10)It's good. If got along with Putin. Somebody said "He gets along well with Putin." I'm saying to myself, "But isn't that sort of good thing? Is that bad." "He gets along with Putin. That's bad thing." But you saw the head of the FBI yesterday started going Russia. Russia is looking at our election. Russia. Here we go again. Russia, Russia, Russia.Donald Trump: (34:32)I said, "What about China? What about North Korea? What about Iran? What about ... " They don't mention anybody else. The narrative seems to be Russia. Millions of phone calls made not one to Russia. Millions of phone calls received not one to Russia. Then he goes, "Russia, Russia." Then they asked him about Antifa. What do you think about Antifa? "Well, it's an ideology." said, "No, it's not. It's bunch of thugs and anarchists that are being funded by somebody and find out who the somebody is."Donald Trump: (35:13)It's unbelievable. Unbelievable when you look at this stuff. But seriously, take look at the AOC. call it AOC plus three. Her three people that she tells what to do. And $2,000,000. Dresses, rent, other things. You're not supposed to do that. Mr. Congressman, are you allowed to do that Sir? You don't do that. You don't buy dresses do you? If he does that's the end of his career right?Donald Trump: (35:44)No. But it's terrible. Right John? It's terrible. Will prosecute him. mean, why not? don't understand it. I'll tell you what. One friend of mine, very sophisticated guy, very successful guy called me up. He says, "You know. From the day you came down the escalator with our great First Lady, our future First Lady." He said "From that day the people love her. She gave great speech at the Republican National Convention at The White House. She gave great speech." But said "From the day you came down the escalator with our First Lady. From the single day you've been under investigation. You've been under investigation by sleazebags. People that now we caught, cleaned up their phones."Donald Trump: (36:32)You're not allowed to do that. Right Mr.. Congressman? My great hockey player. You're the greatest. Right? But you're not allowed to do that. You know? We want their phones. "Oh, here they are. Oh, by the way, they happen to be totally deleted." Like Hillary with the 33,000 emails she deleted.Donald Trump: (36:49)I think they should look at that. Now even if they don't find them. And do believe they're in the state department. do believe they're in the FBI. do believe they're in the FBI. But even if you forget about it, she said she had 33,000 emails. And the emails were for her yoga lessons. She's not big into yoga [inaudible 00:05:09]. If she is, she's not getting her money worth. Her yoga lessons and her daughter's wedding. Right? So it was about the wedding and the yoga lessons.Donald Trump: (37:26)So said, "Okay, let's give her five or six each." What do you think, Mike? Five or six each. Five for the wedding. Make it 30. Make it hundred. Make it thousand. thousand for the wedding. And for the yoga, let's give her 200. Okay. What about all those thousands and thousands of emails. Probably classified. So Congress ... So forget about it. Let's assume they're gone because she deleted them and then she acid washed them. And then she hit her phones with hammer.Donald Trump: (37:58)I get rid of phones. I've never hit him with hammer. Not even as President. say, "Yeah. Throw the phone away." No, no. I've never hit phone. Has anybody ever gotten rid of your phone and taken hammer and wiped the hell out of it? don't think so.Donald Trump: (38:12)So she gets subpoena from the S Congress. Not in lawsuit against some guy that hates you and you're fighting and you're fighting or something. By the way you do that, you've got problems in court, big problems. But she gets subpoena from Congress. U.S. subpoena, the most important subpoena you can get. They get the subpoena. And after she gets the subpoena, by few days everything is deleted. Her phones are busted up and cleaned and wiped. And everything's gone.Donald Trump: (38:45)And nothing happens to her. Forget about what was on. Now think of how angry it makes me when see it. Now how angry? Could you imagine if I'd do that it's whole different ball game. Know how angry it makes me when see it.Donald Trump: (39:08)And we had an attorney general that didn't have clue. That was my fault. was loyal to somebody. Endorsed me early. You know whey he endorsed me? Because went to Mobile, Alabama. We had 55,000 people show up at stadium. He said, "I'd like to endorse you." Then after we won, he said, "I'd love to be attorney general." And said, "No, don't think so." But after four or five times asking, I'm loyal person and did it. The mistakes sometimes you make is because of loyalty, but that's okay.Donald Trump: (39:34)But allowed her to get away with that is disgrace. Maybe there's something they can do. So forget about looking for the emails. And they are available. And guarantee they're in the State Department. guarantee you they're in the state department that ought to damn well find them. They're being protected in the State Department.Donald Trump: (39:55)But forget about that. Almost as good is the fact that you're not allowed to do what she did and her lawyers should pay, Kendall should pay, equal consequence. Equal consequence. Equal. But that's the way it is. But we are making lot of progress if you see what's going on. said to myself, "I'm going to stay uninvolved. don't have to. Chief Law Enforcement Officer, can you believe it? But think it's better if stay uninvolved." And have stayed uninvolved and we do have an excellent Attorney General. Bill Barr. And I'll be honest, he's smart guy. think he's getting tougher and tougher and tougher every day. think he's not going to put up with this stuff. don't think. And you know he's got lot of people that are deep staters, whatever you want to call them. They fight him at every turn. They fight him, fight him, fight him. But he's getting tougher and tougher. watched over the last three days, I'm saying, "Wow, that's sort of what we're all waiting for. Right?"Donald Trump: (40:56)But she deletes her emails. AOC gets rid of $2,000, 000. Gets rid of it. Nothing happens. Nothing happens. And then she goes around and calls us all like what the hell are we? And she controls Nancy Pelosi. Actually Nancy Pelosi would love to get rid of her think.Donald Trump: (41:14)How about Pelosi? Pelosi goes out and says, "You know. think have my hair done." So she goes out and she goes into this beauty parlor. told the story in Wisconsin last night.Donald Trump: (41:31)By the way, we had that great crowd in Wisconsin. You have feeling about places. You know the problem with Minnesota is that think since 1972, this hasn't been won by Republican. So, you're little behind the eight ball when you hear that. Right? mean, can understand. And Wisconsin rarely. But won Wisconsin. Unlike Minnesota thank you very much. Thank you very much, Tom. Thank you. Unlike Minnesota.Donald Trump: (42:02)But it's my fault. So had one speech left. It started at one in the morning. went to Michigan, we won Michigan. That was another one. Great state. We brought back so many auto companies into Michigan. We brought them back. But had one. It was already voting day. It was election day. Because by the time got there it was just scheduled. Had made that one damn stop to your state we would have won Minnesota. lost by what? half point. Half point.Donald Trump: (42:37)But get off the plane and they said, "He's in Minnesota. He's down nine." The recent poll. Down nine. believe it's suppression poll. And you know, have an instinct about things pretty much. Somebody said "Trump has the greatest political instincts of the last 100 years." One of my enemies said that. And said, "No, don't." don't believe do. think have lousy political instincts." But what am going to tell you? Let me just say they said that. And was very impressed by the statement.Donald Trump: (43:05)In fact, went to my wife said, "You know, they say have the greatest political instincts in over hundred years." And said, "But don't believe it. don't." don't want to be Beto. Remember Beto? "I was born to run for president." That was the end of his career. Beto O'Rourke who's in charge of guns.Donald Trump: (43:22)By the way, he's going to take your guns away. You know that, right? Biden. Sleepy Joe. Sleepy Joe is going to take your guns away. Remember Beto on the cover of really crummy magazine. won't mention the name. They've got lot of bad magazines out there. The good news is most of them are dying. If not all of them.Donald Trump: (43:40)But Beto O'Rourke, he did the story and he was going to defeat Ted Cruz. He was going to do all these things. Ted beat him. And helped lot too. was with Ted all the way. And think Ted's appreciated it. But even said, "I'm putting Ted Cruz as one of the people for the Supreme Court." Right?Donald Trump: (44:01)And you know why did it? You know why did it? Because wanted to make sure that had somebody on list we had about 45 unbelievable people, unbelievable. The smartest, the best. The absolute creme de la creme, right? The best minds in the country. Conservative. They believe in the constitution. Little things like that. But said, "You know. have to have somebody that we're going to make sure we get approved." And the only one could think of is Ted, because he's going to get 50 Republican votes and he's going to get 50 Democrat votes. They'll do anything to get them out of the Senate.Donald Trump: (44:42)But joke when say that to Ted. But say it all the time. Ted is the only man know could get hundred votes from the Senate. Every single Senator is going to vote for him. But he's great guy. And he's brilliant guy. And he's been great. He's been really great. kid, when say that. But one of the things we've done that's so good is the Supreme court. We have two Supreme court justices. We will have at the end of my term, approximately 300 federal judges and [inaudible 00:45:09]. Right?Donald Trump: (45:12)So anyway, but just to finish, there's no way that I'm nine points down. look at crowd. So they say instinct, right? So look at crowd and whether have good instinct or not, this is not the crowd of somebody that's going to finish second in the state to Sleepy Joe. Finish second to guy that cannot put two sentences together. Now it is an ideology. It doesn't matter. could put that broken piece of wood right there. could put that out. And it's the same thing as Joe. It's just an ideology. It's just an idea.Donald Trump: (45:48)Now, historically, we have the biggest gap in enthusiasm of any campaign that they've ever opposed. You heard that. Like 36 points. In other words, they've got no enthusiasm for him. have tremendous enthusiasm as we can tell. But he does have enthusiasm to beat Trump. His only enthusiasm is put anybody in there. Right? Put anybody in there. He does have enthusiasm to beat Trump. Nothing for him, but to beat Trump. Okay.Donald Trump: (46:20)But historically that never wins. When somebody has to rely on winning because of somebody as opposed to winning because people love you, people respect you ... And Sean Hannity did something the other night. He said to this man, "If you owned McDonald's hamburger stand in reasonably busy area, would you have Joe Biden running that stand?" The answer is no. He doesn't have the energy. He doesn't. So he can't run the country.Donald Trump: (46:48)No, seriously. thought it was good. never thought of it. You wouldn't have him running your business. You wouldn't have him running McDonald's. have to say or Wendy's. have friend he owns Wendy's. He always gets up. Ken, you haven't mentioned Wendy's? Okay. But you know you wouldn't do it because he couldn't do it. And yet he's running for the presidency. He's got no energy.Donald Trump: (47:09)I made comment that somebody had low energy. That was the end of his political career. But Joe's energy is far lower. It's far lower. No, it's far lower than Jeb. Jeb was on the low side. But Joe, he's off the scale. Right? Joe's got nothing going. Today Biden delivered remarks, barely, to union after spending 47 years giving their jobs to China and foreign countries in exchange for campaign cash. How about his statement?Donald Trump: (47:43)Hey, we talk about AOC being crooked. She's hundred percent crooked. Okay. But were talking about that. Look at Omar. She came in here. Did she marry her brother? Where's that writer? That writer should be given the Pulitzer prize. He never will be. He should be though.Donald Trump: (47:59)You know the amazing thing, all of these writers, New York Times, Washington Post, right? Russia, Russia, Russia. Trump. Russia, Russia, Russia. had 19 people. All brilliant. All radical left. All Hillary people. Actually not even never Trumper from Bush. Okay. All Hillary Clinton people mostly, almost everyone. They were all Democrats. How about this? You're being investigated by 19 Democrats that are smart people. Okay? Smart people.Donald Trump: (48:28)So my friend says, "You know, you are the most honest person in the world. And you've taken three years of total investigation." You don't think they've gone over my taxes. They went over at the biggest tax firm in the country. The most prestigious. They went over everything. They spend 48 million as it comes out now. It's about $48,000,000 investigating me before won and after won. And we caught them spying on my campaign. That's what they were really doing.Donald Trump: (48:59)And now with the phones, think there's like 22 or 24 people. You heard this one? They said, "No, no, no. We made mistake when we deleted our phone." You know what they had to do to make that mistake? Like 19 different formulas. Right? don't even know how you delete phone. didn't know you could do it. But they all made the exact same mistake. That's not good. That's not good. So let's see what happens to them. It's criminal act you know that, right? It's criminal act. It's criminal.Donald Trump: (49:28)Weissman's bad guy. Put lot of people in jail that shouldn't be in jail, Weissman. He's bad guy. He's on CNN all the time or MSNBC which call it MSDNC. Because it's the same thing. Owned by company called Concast. Did anyone ever hear ... With an N, not an M. Con like con job. Concast. They fortune on public relations. Comcast has delivered you the news, all the news. And they spend fortune. And then go up and make one speech and call them Concast And that's the end of the PR for the year.Donald Trump: (50:02)They are bad group of people. They're sick. mean, they're sick people. They're sick and evil people and they want bad things for our country and they don't report the news. You know, in the old days, when you used public airways free, you had to get license. keep saying, "If they're reporting fake news, how come they can keep getting license?" Whether it's ABC, whether it's NBC, CBS, or of course, CNN. Which is mean one of the great jokes of all time, CNN. Or MSDNC. But they're cable so guess there's different standard.Donald Trump: (50:36)But when you're using the public airwaves free. Okay? Free. Aren't you supposed to get licensed? So asked my people that. ask couple of guys and never really get an answer. just want to know simple question. Do you have to report the truth when you using free airwaves and making fortune with commercials and everything else. And never get the right answer because there are people down deep. It's crazy. But we're getting down to all of it.Donald Trump: (51:00)A lot of progress has been made. think you're starting to see it. We're trying to beat terrible group of deep state people. You know came to Washington ... Think of it, think of it. came to Washington and had 24 years of putting people in office. And then you can probably add another four to that. And another four to that. had many, many years, decades of people putting ... So came. Been to Washington guess 17 times never stayed over. Right? Never slept over. was there 17 times.Donald Trump: (51:34)I tell the story. was in Washington and my entire life, DC, 17 times. Never slept over ever not once. And all of sudden I'm riding down Pennsylvania Avenue and I'm with beautiful woman on my right named Melania. Think of this. And had about 400 motorcycles in front of me. And we're in cavalcade of about 128 cars. Most of them having about 15 sub machine guns inside. There's more firepower [inaudible 00:20:13].Donald Trump: (52:13)But we're riding down the beautiful Pennsylvania Avenue. And look outside at those police. love our police. We've got to treat our police better. had everything. had police. had military. had soldiers. had everything you could possibly have. You never saw so much how power and strength and beauty. The beauty.Donald Trump: (52:37)And they were so proud. They're all saluting, they're so proud. They're happy to have gotten rid of that crowd that was there before us. They're proud. They're great. The police. You know, every single police force think endorsed me. got the one yesterday from Chicago. That's not easy. Chicago endorsed me. New York's finest endorsed me. Florida. Ohio. mean, everybody. don't know that he's gotten one vote. Then he says he can't mention the words law and order.Donald Trump: (53:09)But I'm driving down the street. And look at my wife, say, "Do you believe it? I'm the president of the United States? [inaudible 00:53:18] Can you believe it? And then get to the most beautiful house in the world. can have Mar-a-Largo and all of them. But I'll tell you The White House is still The White House, no matter how you do it.Donald Trump: (53:35)And get to this gorgeous, beautiful place. And I'm up at the incredible suite level and there's Abraham Lincoln's suite. It's called the Lincoln bedroom. Remember Clinton used to lease it out to people for money. They never change do they. Remember when Barbara Streisand, she's another beauty, by the way. But remember Barbara Streisand used to stay in that suite? Which was the only problem had with it. But tell me ... No, but do like her voice. do. really do. Some of them don't like even their voices. But she used to stay there.Donald Trump: (54:18)And I'm standing in the Lincoln bedroom. The history of the whole thing. The bed, the desk, the Gettysburg address, the beautiful four score and seven years ago. This beautiful Gettysburg address. He wrote it there. And also on his carriage ride up to Gettysburg. He delivered the Gettysburg address and they say the only one that got worse press than did was Abraham Lincoln. Did anyone ever hear that? And said, "No way they got worse. Maybe he got bad. But no way he gets worse."Donald Trump: (54:47)Now people are starting to say, "It's probably true. think you've got the worst." Now they used to say, "No, no." Newt Gingrich, great guy. He said, "Nope, Abraham Lincoln got the worst press. They were worse to him than anybody. He was very depressed person. His wife was very depressed." It was depressed kind of thing. He's in war, he's in revolution. And he was getting beaten lot by Robert E. Lee. They want to rip his statue down all over the place. But Robert E. Lee whether you like statues or not, they don't rip statues down anymore. signed law. 10 years in jail if they rip them down.Donald Trump: (55:28)But Robert E. Lee won many, many battles in row and it was supposed to be over in one day. It was supposed to end immediately because the North was too powerful for the South. But it just shows when you have leaders, when you have great general. And Robert E. Lee, he would have won except for Gettysburg. And that was because his general was killed who's going to lead Gettysburg. Never fight uphill, me boys. Never fight uphill. He heard they were going up hill. Stop them, stop them. But we had no cell phones in that day, right? Congressmen? No cell phones.Donald Trump: (55:59)So they sent the horses to stop him. Stop him. But it was too late. They fought uphill and they got slaughtered. That's what happened. But Robert E. Lee these were incredible things. But hope you appreciate that we had period of time when they were ripping down all of the statues and monuments. And said to my people four months ago, said, "This is crazy. These people."Donald Trump: (56:24)And they don't even know. They started ripping down Abraham Lincoln. When they hit Lincoln said, "Wait minute. This is the man. And you can't do ..." Then they hit George Washington, Thomas Jefferson. They hit everybody. They even had Gandhi. All Gandhi wanted was one thing. Peace. May we have peace. Rip down the statue we don't like it. don't think they have any idea what they're doing. think they're just bunch of thugs. Okay? You want to know that? think they are bunch of thugs.Donald Trump: (56:50)They were going to March on Washington and they were going to rip down statue of Abraham Lincoln. You know the exact statute. Its up very nicely. Up now. And by the way, they can take them down legally. They go through Congress as way of doing it. But they didn't want to do it that way. And they were marching on Washington. And said, "Do we have any laws about this?" They said, "No, sir."Donald Trump: (57:10)Now in Congress, the way it is now, the most you get is about $10 fine. You rip down $5 million statue and you got $10 fine. Right? It's different world. That's when it was strong and they had laws. But we told and found this old act. And the old act said, if you rip down monument or statue, you get 10 years in prison. They call it prison, not jail, which sounds even worse. said, "Bring that sucker up immediately to the Oval Office because there are lot of people coming to Washington."Donald Trump: (57:49)They were going to March on the Jefferson Memorial. Do you believe that? The Jefferson Memorial. We grow up ... The Jefferson Memorial. They were going to March on the Jefferson Memorial. They were going to do damage to our beautiful Jefferson Memorial after Thomas Jefferson.Donald Trump: (58:06)And did predict that. friend of mine said, "You know, two years ago you said, next will be Robert E. Lee and then comes Washington. And Jefferson and Lincoln. They'd never stop. The only thing they understand is strength. Remember that." They don't understand weakness. There's nothing you can do. These really stupid heads of these corporations that give hundreds of millions of dollars. It's like blackmail money, right? But these stupid people that run, they get $40,000,000 year and they're weak. Okay, they're weak. But these people, they're anarchists and the only thing they understand is strength.Donald Trump: (58:43)So said, "Let me see this document." said, "Wow, this is very strong document." And Derek is here. One of my attorneys, he did great job. don't know where the hell Derek is. He's around here. Actually he's heard this before though. Not quite.Donald Trump: (58:58)You're getting very unique speech tonight. You know? mean unlike Joe, haven't even looked at the teleprompter. This guy will "Move it up. Move it up. can't see. Move it up." haven't looked at it. The poor teleprompter guy he's sitting there "What do we do? We're on line two of the teleprompter." He said, "What do we do?" No, unlike Joe, have not looked at the teleprompter.Donald Trump: (59:32)Oh, that poor Joe. You know what's the worst part about him looking at the teleprompter? The worst part is that means that the fake news media is giving him the questions. Right? Like Donna Brazil, who was brilliantly hired by Fox. Fox has changed little bit. Ladies and gentlemen, Donna Brazil, who was fired by CNN because she cheated and she gave crooked Hillary the questions to the debate.Donald Trump: (01:00:01)How would you like to be me? They give her questions to the debate. And still won the debate and she had all the questions. Think of it. How do you do that? Donna Brazil is, ladies and gentlemen, she's going to work for Fox. Oh, that's great. That's big difference. Big difference between four years ago and now. lot of things have changed.Donald Trump: (01:00:22)But I'll tell you what's changed is the fact that we have more enthusiasm now than we did four years ago. It's amazing right? But just to get back to the others. So signed that wonderful executive order instituting this really tough law. And it says 10 years. It doesn't say, you get 10 years, but you can take it down to three weeks. It says 10 years.Donald Trump: (01:00:48)So these guys had just gotten there. had news conference because had to let them know about it. Right? We've got many people in jail right now from before nobody even talked about taking statues down. No, but looked at the Andrew Jackson right? With the ropes. And I'll tell you, the police did great job. And Mark Meadows did great job. He said, "Charge." They charged.Donald Trump: (01:01:11)And they took these guys out and they were fairly tough. But the police were much tougher. DC police. They did great job. They were watching and they weren't able to do anything. Mark Meadows said "Charge." It was like from 200 years ago it was crazy. They charged and they'd beat the hell out of these guys. Or you wouldn't have that great statue on the horse of great general. He was great general. And he was very good president. At least good president. But he was great general. The battle of New Orleans. Right?Donald Trump: (01:01:45)And they had this incredible picture of Andrew Jackson. And they were going to rip it down. And remember the ropes wrapped around the horse and the guy standing up there just [inaudible 01:01:55]. He went to jail too. We had all the evidence we needed. Thank you for that. want to thank you fake news. We called the fake news. We said "Can we just have that please?" When they said, no, we just said, "We'll take it off TiVo. That's okay. Don't worry about it." One of the greatest inventions in history. Tivo better than television because television is useless without it.Donald Trump: (01:02:16)So, we signed it. And all of sudden these same guys who were watching it, they left. Nobody showed up the next day. They're going to have 25,000 people. They had 24 people, 5 of them were brought to prison. Okay. And the next day they said, "Well, we were going to save it for Saturday night." And Saturday night nobody showed up. And nobody has showed up in four months to take down statue. It's true.Donald Trump: (01:02:42)Because you know why? They look and they say, "I want to take down that statue. I'm going to take down that statue. That statue's coming down." And then somebody says, "You know it's 10 years in jail." They go, "That's too much. I'm getting out of here." It's true. Ten years is not acceptable, Mike. Right? Ten years is lot to rip down statue, have little fun, especially when they have no idea what they're ripping down. But we have an idea what they're ripping down. They're ripping down in many cases, greatness. They're ripping down our past. They're ripping down our history.Donald Trump: (01:03:19)And that's where these guys begin. They take away your history. You look at the Middle East, you look all over. Look what ISIS did. Look what all of them do. They go down and they rip. They go into museums and they break everything and they rip everything. They want to take away your past. They're not taking away the past of the United States of America. Not as long as I'm here.Donald Trump: (01:03:50)What do you want? Do you want me to go back on teleprompter anybody? Okay. Here's the question. My poor guy must be having fit. He's over there. He's so good at this stuff. He's on line three.Donald Trump: (01:04:02)... Good at this stuff. He's on line three. He said, "Sir, should use turn the sucker off? Would you rather go teleprompter or freelance?" Isn't it nice when you have the option because you have this and you have the option to go either? See, Joe doesn't have the option. He doesn't have the option. But if Biden wins, China wins, and it's very simple. It's very simple. By contrast, rescued the Minnesota Iron Range, did that.Donald Trump: (01:04:38)Just so you know, O-Biden. call him O-Biden, it's too long to say Obama and Biden, so just go, O-Biden, because don't care about... Everyone said, "Oh no, he's in trouble. Obama's now campaigning." Hey, he campaigned last time harder than Hillary. said, "No, want him to campaign because he brings out the base." He brings out our base. And I'm only here because of him and Joe.Donald Trump: (01:05:05)If they were good president and vice president, wouldn't be here. had very good life before. I'm doing this because they did such [inaudible 01:05:14] job. I'm only here because of him. could right now be having very beautiful life of luxury, and here am at the hangar in Minnesota with 15 or 20 or 25,000 people. And thousands of people that couldn't get in, and I'm working my ass off. could be at home having good time, wonderful time. But the one thing said is-Audience: (01:05:48)We want trump. We want Trump. We want Trump.Donald Trump: (01:05:48)But say this. say this look, could be home. So home was New York. had to bail out because it was too crazy, everything has fallen apart. But home, it's so sad what the democrats have done to our great New York. Between governor and mayor, the crime is through the roof, the corruption is incredible, it's sad thing that's happened to New York. Hopefully it'll come back by somebody. Somebody will go in there and do like Rudy.Donald Trump: (01:06:27)You know when Rudy took over, it was so bad and they were looking for somebody and they thought he was the guy because he was tough guy. But somebody has to go in and clean it up. This mayor, he let go of billion dollars worth of police. He actually believed the nonsense about defunding the police. And they're all going to do it. They're all going to do it. And New York people are going to do it. I'm being totally serious now. You've got to go out and you've got to vote for Trump. You got to break this spell from 1972. You saw Kenosha. What we did for other places, you saw the Kenosha, and that was gone. That was all gone. That place was gone. We sent in the troops, it was incredible what we did, and they did it on day three. Day three is better than two weeks later, like in Minneapolis. But they did it, and we've done great job and the people of that great state, they understand it, and just hope the people of your state of Minnesota understand it because we don't have too many more chances with this stuff. We really don't. We don't have the luxury of sitting back and saying, "Let's have four years of this maniac, vice president that he picked who treated him worse than any other person.Donald Trump: (01:07:53)That's why say the one person that he won't pick... My great instincts, right? The one person he won't pick is Kamala because she called him racist, she tried to me-too him. He was me-too'd. "I've just been me-too'd Darling, what does that mean?" But they tried to me-too him. And she was the one that brought it up.Donald Trump: (01:08:17)Remember Tara? She was the one that brought it up, and then he goes, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to pick... Wait minute, let me get her name here. How do you pronounce it? It's with comma, like comma, right? Like comma." Remember he couldn't pronounce her name? He was saying her name wrong, and she had to interrupt him. No, my name is Kamala. Like comma. remember that. Like comma. H1N1, that's right, Joe. Remember that Joe, H1N1.Donald Trump: (01:08:51)And how bad did he do in that though? How about that? How bad did he do? So come to think of it, he's out there now today. It was pathetic. By the way, did you see the Anderson Cooper thing last night? You have to watch. don't want to watch, but have an obligation. I'm competing against somebody. You don't want to compete and say, "I'm not going to watch my competition, who wouldn't?" It's boring, but got to watch.Donald Trump: (01:09:13)And he got through it. He met couple of really... The chicken thing was bad. He said chicken many, many times, and it was little strange that thought it was over and he pulled it back. He was able to pull it back. But Anderson is a... And he interviewed me, he's tough. You know, he can be tough, nothing against him. He could be very tough, but last night he was in rare form. He was, "Thank you very much for being here, Mr. Vice President, are you enjoying the run?"Donald Trump: (01:09:39)And compare that with my shot, where they asked me about doing ABC with George Stephanopoulos. think it was great. think it worked out great. You know what call it? Debate prep. call that free debate prep. But you know it's nasty, it's little nasty that people... and didn't say, "No, you got to change the rules. No, give me the questions. want to use teleprompter to answer." How about that though? Mr. Vice President, I'd like to know your feeling on nuclear warfare and how does that relate to China and Russia and where are they in the race?Donald Trump: (01:10:17)Well, you can't have this as your president. don't care. Forget about me. You can't do this. The importance and the power of this position are too great. You can't do it. I've learned lot as president. But one thing learned is that President Xi of China is sharp. You ever see him standing with the two million men walking in front, everybody's the same height, they're wearing hats, everyone's like pool table, right?Donald Trump: (01:10:46)And he's standing there by himself, and he's looking like he's not playing games. There's no games, he's sharp as you can be. And had great relationship, but now feel differently. We made great trade deal, and now feel differently. But he's sharp as you can be. Putin as sharp as you can be. Kim Jong Un, we would have been in war with North Korea 100%.Donald Trump: (01:11:10)I asked Obama, "Did you ever call him?" He said that was the toughest problem we had. And we get along. Remember about month ago, two months ago, they broke into the demilitarized zone and they said, "Oh, he's going to attack." said, "No, he's not. Don't worry about it." got to know him very well. We have good relationship. People said, "He has good relationship with Kim Jong Un, that's terrible." said, "No, that's good."Donald Trump: (01:11:37)But you remember it was going to be nuclear war, and got along with him. Then they said, "Trump made terrible deal. He's given so much to North Korea." What did give? was at like semi debate with his idiot, reporter. "He's given lot to North Korea." "What did give?" "I don't know." Sanctions, sanctions. You took away. No, didn't. Actually, increased the sanctions very substantially. What did you give? What did give? Tell me. So after about four days they couldn't ask because gave nothing except gave heart because don't want to see people killed on their side either. don't want to see people killed.Donald Trump: (01:12:23)We'd win that. We'd win them all. We have the greatest weapons right now ever conceived by man. We've rebuilt our military to level that nobody ever thought possible. And then the fake news. And said that couple of weeks ago, remember said, "We have created the most powerful weapons known to man." It's true. We have weapons that are so advanced that President Xi, Putin, everybody, we're the envy of the world.Donald Trump: (01:12:59)But they don't know quite what we have, but they know we have stuff that they never even heard of before. And some schmuck back there said, "I think he's given away classified information." Now, all I'm doing is telling the world, we have the most powerful weapons in the world. I'm not even saying what kind. You don't even want to know about it. And God help us if we ever have to use them. But we have the most powerful weapons ever conceived by man. They have the missile, the super-duper, hydro sonic, call it the super-duper, it goes five times faster than normal missile, right?Donald Trump: (01:13:32)We have one goes much faster than that. But Russia got that information from the Obama administration. Russia stole that information. You knew that. Russia got the information and they built it. But we have now one that's much faster than that. That's like slow missile. That's like considered slow missile.Donald Trump: (01:13:51)But said it was incredible. Two weeks ago said, "We have the finest, the best, the most incredible, sadly, the most deadly, and we never want to use it, but we have the greatest weapons ever in history by factor of 10, by factor of 10." And they went crazy. "He's given away classified." These people are sick. All I'm doing is saying that we rebuilt our military $2.5 trillion all built in the USA, every single ounce of it.Donald Trump: (01:14:26)We have fighter jet, F-35 that are so good, you can't see it. And went to see the program, and met some of the pilots and these guys are better looking than Tom Cruise. They're tougher. They're stronger. They're bigger. They're more powerful. They're smarter. And like Tom cruise by the way, because you can't get much better than Top Gun, right? Great movie. You can't get better. like Tom cruise. But these guys are better looking than Tom. They got that crew cut, they got the crap under their eyes, they got the whole deal. They're smart as hell.Donald Trump: (01:14:59)So said, "So captain, let me ask you, how good is the F-35?" "They're really good Sir, best plane we've ever had all great." said, "How do you compare that with what Russia has?" "Well, ours is better for specific reason, Sir. You can't see it." "What does that mean?" "Well, when we fight, they cannot see us, that we are so stealth."Donald Trump: (01:15:18)Now that doesn't mean in three years that it won't be obsolete because that's what happens. That's the problem with that business. You come up with new computer and two weeks later it's obsolete. That's why always like real estate, and grab piece of real estate. But no, it's true. wouldn't be good in that business. You get to work, work, work, and then you're starting the next one because the last one is gone. That's why always talk about walls and wheels.Donald Trump: (01:15:42)When the Democrats were saying, "Walls are old fashioned." Well, they're right about that. But they work. Remember that? All we had to go through in Congress? And that wall is going up, think of that. We're building 10 miles week, 10 miles week of the top. And our numbers on the border are the best they've ever been. The best they've ever been.Donald Trump: (01:16:07)Well, we're building 10 miles of wall week. We're up to about 330 miles, and we'll have it finished very soon, and it's having tremendous impact on drugs. It's having tremendous impact on all of the different things. Human trafficking in women. It's not even children.Donald Trump: (01:16:26)They're trafficking women, it's because of the internet. You think of that as almost an ancient kind of crime, right? But it's not. It's very modern crime and it's an unbelievably profitable crime. They're trafficking women, little bit children, but mostly women. Where they'll put three or four women in the back in the trunk of car and they'll go through the border. They can't do it anymore. And we're catching them. We have people that do nothing but look for the traffickers. To me, the traffickers are the biggest scum of the world.Donald Trump: (01:16:55)And thank heavens for ICE, and thank heavens for border patrol because these people do job that you don't want. know Mike doesn't want it. You wouldn't even be good at it, Mike, he'll do commercial about it. That's what he'll do. Does he have the longest commercials in history? say, Mike Lindell. say, Mike, the pillow man. say, Mike is the single greatest purchaser of commercials in history. want him to buy my commercials.Donald Trump: (01:17:24)I say, "You know, we spent $20 million, sell like two commercials." He spends $2 and he's got the whole day on Fox. said, let Mike buy our commercials. Will you? don't know what the hell you do, but whatever it is, you better tell me the secret. Greatest purchaser of commercials.Donald Trump: (01:17:41)But we have done some job with that. And the traffickers and drugs are way down. Now we got upset with the pandemic, but watched Biden today talking about, "If only Trump moved one week sooner. One week." So let's go, ready? So, you know he was against the ban, right? Because he didn't think we had problem. So he was against the ban. He didn't know that China was heavily infected. He doesn't even know where China is, in my opinion.Donald Trump: (01:18:13)But he was against the ban. These guys write stuff out for him, and he tries to read it. Doesn't do well with it. So he was against it, but now his new thing is, if only moved one week earlier, but was earlier than everybody. If you think about it. had nice guy, Dr. Fauci, had another nice, got lot of doctors. They were all telling me, "No, no, you don't have to do that." Tom knows that very well. "You don't have to do that, Sir. You don't have to do that. You don't have to do that at all."Donald Trump: (01:18:42)And one of those things, was very early and banned and everybody admits that had not banned highly infected Wuhan province, right? Highly infected, we would have had hundreds of thousands of more deaths. And then you had the chart. put it up yesterday, I'm doing these news conferences. We're finally getting the word across that we did great job, but I'm doing news conferences now every day.Donald Trump: (01:19:09)I call them the highly rated news conferences. And go before these crazy people, they're screaming like maniacs. It's not the way they treat Sleepy Joe. He'd melt. If they ever did number on, this guy would be there he'd be laying on the floor crying, "Get me out of here, Darling. Where is my wife? Get me out of here, please, Darling. They're so nasty to me today. What happened?" We go through it every single day.Donald Trump: (01:19:34)But you think about it, and he said, "If only Trump moved faster," but he's the one that two months later called me xenophobic, and he called me racist because was banning China, which was heavily infected. And then he said, "Don't ban Europe." Well, looked at Italy, big problem. love Italy. love the people of Italy, but they were heavily infected. France, looked at France, looked at Spain, they even had spikes recently. Did you see?Donald Trump: (01:20:06)And we're doing great. We're rounding it with or without, but we're going to have with, but you know, with his better, but with or without, we're rounding that corner, and we're rounding it fast and they don't want to give us any credit because they want to keep this up 'til November 4th. And on November 4th, the press will probably say, let's say something stupid happened. The press will say, "I got to admit he did damn good job." And the other clown will be in office. We did thing called price transparency. signed it. It's effective, also very complicated. It's on your medical. And we did price transparency. It's the biggest thing. It's bigger than healthcare. Where you see your prices. You can go now to hospitals, you can price operations, you can price everything. It's massive thing.Donald Trump: (01:20:53)The man who did it... And took lot of heat, and I'm doing favorite nations drugs, meaning whatever the lowest in the world is, we have to pay the same. That's the good news. The bad news is the drug companies, the doctors everybody's angry at me. Actually under price transparency, the good hospitals and the good doctors benefit tremendously, but the bad ones don't, and you have price transparency. And it goes into effect on January 1st. Could you imagine if this sleepy guy gets in and they say like, February, March, April something. They say unbelievable what happened to prices, it's dropping like crazy.Donald Trump: (01:21:35)And they'll say, what job he's doing this president? And I'm the one that signed it. said, could you put it into effect but statutorily? It has to mature, mature, mature. So the earliest could get is January 1st. It's like crazy. You know another one? I'll give you another one. I'll give you another one. So Air Force One, so that's the 757, but they have 747, which is the big Air Force One.Donald Trump: (01:22:03)I think that just disrespected the people of Minnesota today, they gave us the little one. No, actually it's because of the runway. In fact, when we landed, they said, "Sir, we have very short runway, could you please hold on? said, "I trust these pilots." By the way, these pilots are the best pilots. When you fly the president of the United States.Donald Trump: (01:22:21)Wait minute, he's waving from the window. When you fly the president of the United States, you are the best flyer. They take the best air force guys, they take the best Marines in the helicopters, Marine One. But when you're flying these planes, you can land that sucker, you have no problem. There's no, mishits. There's no, "Let's go around. can't quite make it, Sir." These guys are phenomenal. You've got to see what they look like. Everyone's in perfect shape. look at him, central casting, every one of them they're great. Thank you fellas. Thank you.Donald Trump: (01:22:53)But I'll tell you little story. So Air Force One is very old plane. It's beautiful, but it's an old 747, right? It's 31 years old and other people didn't want to do it, but it was time to get new one. It was time. You got to get new plane. And actually Air Force One, I'll give you little secret, it's actually two planes. They get two. It's hell of way to travel. If one's not working perfect, you use the other one. But they get two.Donald Trump: (01:23:21)So Air Force One, they negotiated price and they had it down for $5.7 billion, that was not sounds expensive, and it's ridiculous, but that was done by the Obama administration. It was done by the Obama administration. And that's okay. But no administration Obama, Bush, they didn't want to do it because it sounds luxury. But at some point you got to buy plane for the country. And these Arab countries would have their beautiful 747, 800s, 900s pour in, and they were gorgeous.Donald Trump: (01:23:51)And believe it or not, the new plane is much bigger plane. Much bigger wingspan, it's much more beautiful plane, it's modern. think of 31 years old, Air Force One is 31 years old, the main Air Force One, not this. This is great plane, but the big one 31 years old. So you're representing the country, but they didn't want to do it because it shows luxury.Donald Trump: (01:24:12)So get to the office, said, whatever happened to Air Force One, how's it doing?" "Sir, we made deal for new one under the Obama administration." "Oh, you did, good. How much?" "5.7 billion." said, "That's lot of money for [inaudible 01:24:27] for two planes, in all fairness. Now it's very technical, there's lot of stuff. won't talk about it because don't want to give away any classified information. Just trust me, some more sophisticated sucker you've ever seen in your life.Donald Trump: (01:24:41)I think you're getting into plane that cost 5.7 billion. Right? But it's the most sophisticated, two planes. So said, "How much is it? general came, and an air force general, great guy, handsome guy. They're all so good looking these people. said, "So general, what are we paying? What's the price?" " Sir, it's $5.7 million and we're ready to go, Sir, could you sign it?" It sounds like lot of money to me, General, 5.7 million for two airplanes. Can we get better price?" "No, sir. This was negotiated by the Obama administration. The Obama administration. This was negotiated, Sir, by Barack Hussein Obama."Donald Trump: (01:25:23)And said, "Oh, that's good. It sounds very high. So here's what I'm going to do. Tell Boeing we're not taking the plane. We have no interest in, it's too much." This is what did. By the way, this is one of many stories. Isn't this better than going and saying, "I saved your Iron Range?" And say, "But please remember did this too." And can do away with this stuff, but did this too. Please remember that because have all this list of incredible things I've done for Minnesota, won't even touch it because frankly I'm tired of repeating what I've done for all these different states. mean, did all this stuff and then hear I'm nine down. don't believe it by the way, suppression. So said to the general, said, "General, 5.7 billion, not million, billion. That sounds very high to me general. bought lot of planes in my life and lot of helicopters. know lot about it. How could it be five?" "Sir, that's the best price they could get. We only have one day to do it." said, "Cancel it General. Cancel the order." It was signed actually. "Yes, Sir."Donald Trump: (01:26:33)I said, "Do you have the right to cancel it?" "Yes, sir. do." We negotiated great deal. said, "Oh good. Cancel it." "Yes, sir. I'm pleased to tell you something, Sir. We have breakup fee. We made great deal, Sir." said, "You did? Oh, you have breakup fee. You mean you can't just cancel it for nothing? Then cancel it. You don't have to pay breakup fee. know about breakup fees." "No, Sir, we have breakup fee." "Okay. How much is it?" "Sir, we can break it up for $250 million."Donald Trump: (01:27:01)I said, "Wait minute. So you mean to tell me that to cancel the order costs $250 million?" In other words, we give them $250 million, we get nothing. said, "General, don't cancel the order. Just tell him I'm very unhappy." This is what these guys. They're good businessmen, by the way. These guys, right here, Mike, they might be better than you. don't even know. He may be the next governor.Donald Trump: (01:27:23)Mike Landell, maybe you should run. You should run. He is my complete and total investment. You should run. He'd be hell of governor. At least, you know one thing. Minnesota would be well promoted. Mike, run for governor, please. So he says, "It's $250 million. It's 250, Sir, I'm so proud of that." said, "You may be proud, but I'm not." So said, "General, don't give them notice because don't want to write check for 250 and getting nothing. don't think could explain that to the American public. So tell them you're really unhappy, we're not going to make the deal, but just do it verbally."Donald Trump: (01:28:04)And, "Yes, sir." And then spoke to the head of Boeing, very nice guy. They had some rough times since then. They had couple of really bad things happen. Terrible, really terrible. This was early on before the problems that they had. But he is, he's high quality guy. And said to him, "Dennis, we have to start it with a... It's got to have three on the front of it."Donald Trump: (01:28:25)What do know? just know that if they're 5.7, and if do something with three. He said, "No, can bring it down to 5.5 billion." So say, "Well, that's not bad. save $200 million in about minute and half phone call. So so far I'm not good, but it's not good enough. I'm not happy." said, "No, we got to really think about canceling it." And can't go to Airbus, which is made in Europe. It's little hard, got to go to their competitor. can't say I'm going to buy the Air Force One from European company that doesn't work too well.Donald Trump: (01:28:55)My only option was to say, "Look, just don't want to just put it aside." He calls me up few days later. "Well, we can do little bit better than that." said, "Dennis, has to have three in front of it, Dennis." Got to have three. Like three, three anything, but got to have three in front of it. So he said, "No, no, no." After one month, we signed contract for $3.9 billion. Same exact one. Actually slightly better, we got an extra generator.Donald Trump: (01:29:27)And then Boeing came to me, and love to negotiate. do. Got that from my father. My father was good negotiator and love to negotiate. So they came to me, "Sir, we can put an extra stairway." This is the big 747. And remember this is big, much bigger than the old 747. "Sir, it gets very windy up there. noticed that your hair's blown all over the place. But we can buy stairwell for the plane. And it comes under, it's like corkscrew right at the bottom of the plane." You're very high off the ground, big, big thing. "And it opens up, and if it's raining or windy, you're covered, Sir, because it's under the plane. You're totally sheltered." said, "That sounds great. So it's corkscrew stairwell."Donald Trump: (01:30:16)I said, "How much is that general?" "50." said, "50, what deal, So for $50,000 can get stairway?" "No, sir. $50 million." said, "Forget about the stairwell. Forget it." He said 50. really thought he meant $50,000. So these are just some little stories. guess must like Minnesota to go on one of these deals. But boy, did you get your money's worth tonight? Is anybody having bad time?Audience: (01:30:49)No.Donald Trump: (01:30:50)Did you get your money's worth? Because you've heard the other one. We've done this, and we've cut your taxes, and we built up the military bigger and better. And we're the number one in history in regulation cuts, which is the biggest thing. And the judges, which we've done at level like nobody's ever done, everything we've done. Nobody has done more in three and half years, no administration three and half. Those first three and half years, nobody even comes close.Donald Trump: (01:31:19)And you know, it's funny thing. say it all the time. I've been saying it for long time and the fake news, nobody even questions me about it. And you know if was wrong, they would, but they can't question me because when you see right to try, we took care of our vets. We just got 91% approval rating from the vets 91. It's never happened before.Donald Trump: (01:31:41)We got choice approved, we got accountability approved, drugs are way down. We've got little setback with this whole situation where these shutdowns cause lot of problems with drugs, lot of everything, but drugs were way down. We had our best year in the history of our country last year. And we're going to have better year coming up. That's why you have an obligation to vote for the guy that got you there.Audience: (01:32:10)Four more years. Four more years. Four more years.Donald Trump: (01:32:15)And remember this, and really appreciate this, thank you. But appreciate this because nine democrat mayors of cities in the Iron Range have endorsed me over Sleepy Joe. What do you like better? Sleepy Joe or Slow Joe? What's better? Let's do poll. We do poll. We do poll. do free falls. You know, these polls, they charge you fortune for this stuff. They interviewed three people and then they charge you million dollars.Donald Trump: (01:32:46)We interviewed 233 people, got thousands of people at least for free. What do you like better as nickname? Slow Joe or Sleepy Joe? So let's go. Wait, Slow Joe first. Okay? So just scream if you like it. So you have choice, Slow Joe, they're both very appropriate. Slow Joe or Sleepy Joe, ready? Slow Joe. think we're going to have winner here. Sleepy Joe.Donald Trump: (01:33:17)A lot of people say I'm too nice with Sleepy Joe, that I'm actually being too nice, don't know. He's sleepy guy, but Biden is going to shut down your Iron Range. Remember, it wasn't just the tariffs put on your competitors that were dumping iron ore and steel and everything else in our country like it was garbage. And it was garbage steel. It was all [inaudible 01:33:41] based steel, real crap.Donald Trump: (01:33:43)It wasn't that, but when you think of it, they wrote it out. You didn't have environmentally the right. Somebody said, "Oh, well he got bit because he was good with negotiating with these other countries." It wasn't that. opened it up. signed an order. signed an executive order because Obama took your Iron Range and Biden took your Iron Range away.Donald Trump: (01:34:06)And I'll never forget. The day did it, and Tom was there, man, don't know who he is, he's probably in this massive audience, but he came up to me and he was rough guy and he never cried in his life, including at childbirth. He didn't cry at childbirth, but he was crying. And he said, "Sir, you gave our life back to us because Obama took our heart out when he closed up the Iron Range." He said you gave our heart back.Donald Trump: (01:34:36)It's true. So just want to thank those cities. When democrat mayor, and we have now lot of... Now we have additional. So these are democrat politicians and two weeks ago they endorsed us, and it's great thing. We're finding that all over the country. Democrats for Trump. Politicians that got elected as democrats, don't think they changed their party affiliation, but they endorsed Trump. They're all in the Iron Range area.Donald Trump: (01:35:08)And Larry Cuffe is here. Larry Cuffe. Where's Larry? Where is he? Larry, how are you? Why did you do that, Larry? That's so nice. appreciate it. Boy, are you good. wish you had mic. He said, "Because you're the best candidate we could ever..." love this guy. Said you're the best candidate we could ever hope for.Donald Trump: (01:35:39)Thank you Larry, that's beautiful. appreciate it. We'll do good job. We're not going to let you down. And they're doing good job over there. So dig in, dig in, dig we must, right?Larry Cuffe : (01:35:46)It's going because of you.Donald Trump: (01:35:48)It's all going because of me. That's cool, man. Thank you. No, he signed an executive order shutting it down. Just shutting it down. And hear it's got the best iron ore anywhere in the world. That's what hear. The quality is the best.Donald Trump: (01:36:02)... or anywhere in the world. That's what hear. The quality is the best. And it's like an unlimited amount. I'm talking about little, this is massive operation with thousands of people and everything else. And for me, it was very easy. Andrea Zupancich, where is she? Where's Andrea? Thank you very much. That's really nice. I'm glad that at least you got good location, right? That's great. appreciate it very much. You're all friends guess. Chris Vreeland, where's Chris? Chris Vreeland. Chris? Where's Chris? The mayor? Thank you, Chris. Thank you, Chris. Thank you very much. Kathy Brandau. Kathy Brandau. Thank you, Kathy. hope you're having good time tonight. We're not going to let you down. You know that. We're open. That sucker is open. We're not closing it.Donald Trump: (01:36:51)Well, think of this though. If Biden gets in, it's closed. He said he's going to close it. How about this guy? No fracking. You're not going to frack. Onstage with all these crazy people and they don't want any energy. They think everything's going to run by wind, which costs you fortune, about 20 times more than what we have and doesn't work. But think of it, all of these people... And they say, "What about fracking? Fracking is the modern technology. And so they all said, "No, no, we're all against... everyone's against fracking. What about you?" Yes, I'm against it too. Now he's against it for months. He gets it, now he's in favor of it. But he's sort of grandfathering it. You know, it's very weak... Well, like to grandfather fracking. If I'm fracker, don't want to be grandfather. want to have it or not have it, right? He wants to grandfather fracking. Always go with their first statement, okay?Donald Trump: (01:37:45)So was in Texas two weeks ago, we had crowds. Mike, we had crowds that went from the airplane to the well, to the drilling well, where we went to see well. And we saved the industry because got Russia and Saudi Arabia to cut back 10 million barrels. It actually was probably 18. Ended up being, think, 18.5 million barrels. And it saved the industry. And yet you're still paying very low gasoline prices at the pump, but we saved 10 million jobs. But I'm in Texas, and let me tell you, Texas appreciated it because that industry was in deep trouble because all of sudden with the pandemic, there was no demand. There was nobody driving, there was no demand. Nobody ever saw anything like it.Donald Trump: (01:38:28)So I'm in Texas and said to the crowd, it was great crowd, and we must have had hundred thousand people on the road, on the highways and roadways waving. And they had the most beautiful Trump flags. wanted to stop, "Where did you buy that flag?" The most beautiful flags of me and our great vice president. Is Mike Pence doing good job by the way? He did such great... he worked 29 hours day. mean, this guy works day and night. He worked not the 24. He worked 24 plus least five, okay. This man is worker and he's wonderful human being. And when they try it, guy like Biden that can't carry his jockstrap. When Biden goes, "Oh, they should have closed one week earlier", and here's the guy that said made mistake when banned China that nothing's going to happen.Donald Trump: (01:39:20)It's so phony. This politics is very phony business. haven't been doing it long. told one of the senators that came in, he came into my office there, " I've been doing this for 30 years. I've won many elections, I've only lost twice in my life. I've been Senator for long time. know what I'm doing, sir". said, "Yeah, and I've done it for four years. And I've only won one election, but it's for the president of the United States." remember certain man on television that didn't like me too much. He said, "They put together the greatest field ever assembled, the Republicans, remember? 17 plus me. They put together the greatest field of talent ever assembled. hear Trump wants to come in. He's not going to do it number one. Number two, if he does, he's just doing it for fun and he'll be out by September and then he'll go about leading his life, but he's not going to do it. But we don't really need him because this is the greatest single assemblage of talent ever assembled for one party."Donald Trump: (01:40:33)The greatest talent he's ever seen. And then did it and just week after week, one out, two out, three out, four out. And then we've done changes. Oh, he said, "He can't do it because he doesn't have any experience." But actually do on the other side. contributed to politics. always found it very interesting. So in certain way, had lot of experience probably. Maybe had too much experience. That's why can tell you about AOC. Check out the $2 million please, check it out, check it out. Check out Omar, check out Omar, get to that great writer, he should get... Oh, so the New York Times won all these Pulitzer prizes, right? was going to tell you before. All these Pulitzer prizes, these people, and they all got it wrong, right?Donald Trump: (01:41:16)They got for Russia, Russia, Russia. We give the Pulitzer prize. won't use names. won't use names, but we give the Pulitzer prize to the New York Times. They got it wrong. We give the Pulitzer prize to the Washington Post and all of these real sleazebags. have to be honest with you. Very dishonest people, very dishonest. call it the Amazon Washington Post. He uses that as his lobbyist because he owns the Washington Post. He gets crap that other people wouldn't get, okay. That means it's lobby. It's lobbyist deal. But they got the prize, right? They got the Pulitzer prize. All the guys that got it right, that really got it right, they all got it wrong, totally wrong. And they should return the Pulitzer prize. And Pulitzer association, the committee should ask for those prizes back. They got it all wrong. They were hundred percent wrong. There was no collusion. They couldn't believe. Remember the day when it was announced after three years, there is no collusion. could have told them that day one, they could have saved 48 million dollars.Donald Trump: (01:42:21)They got the Pulitzer. And then you take guys so many, so many. Solomon, Sara Carter, Bongino. How about Dan Bongino? So many, so talented guys. How about that great gentlemen who wrote The Witch Hunt? Remember that? That was the first, right? You know what I'm talking about. He's fantastic. All great. These people should have won the Pulitzer prize. Now would say Sean Hannity and Lou Dobbs and Laura and Tucker. In all fairness, Tucker was very good. Tucker was great, but these are all people that got it right. Now they don't do guess the Pulitzer prize for that stuff, but they probably should. But these guys all got it right. And all they did was get lot of money because they're very successful, and that's okay guess. But they should give the Pulitzer prize to the people that got it right and they should withdraw from all of those writers, many of whom are back there right now, all of those writers, they should do that.Donald Trump: (01:43:24)So just to finish up, just to finish up, want to just say that we have some great congressmen here. I'd love you guys to come up here because just want to have you come up. Would you come up? They deserve it. Because told them, they're busy guys, that they're big warriors and all that. And told them, "I'm going to introduce you right at the beginning. Be here, and then you can get out of here." They've been waiting now for an hour and 20 minutes. Come on up. So just walk to the end, shake their hand. Everybody sign slip that you're voting for them, please. They've got no problem. But you have members of Congress here, Jim Hagedorn, Tom Emmer, Pete Stauber, great hockey player. And hopefully your next US Senator who's man who's done fantastic job, run great campaign, Jason Lewis [inaudible 01:44:25].Donald Trump: (01:44:25)And candidate for Congress, Michelle Fischbach, who's supposed to be fantastic. And Michelle has my complete and total endorsement. But Jason, you're in good shape, wow. You're in better shape than these Congressman Jase. By the way, Jason is fantastic and he's doing fantastic... Where's Michelle? Is she there? Be careful. It's not worth the broken legs. Look at her. Oh, she's warrior, can tell. Come on up. But thanks, Michelle. And they have my complete endorsement. They're great people. They love your state. They love our country.Donald Trump: (01:45:06)So just in conclusion, want to say that over the next four years, we will make America into the manufacturing superpower of the world. And we will end our reliance on China once and for all. We will make our medical supplies right here in the United States. And you probably heard me today. It used to be Puerto Rico did tremendous dollars in medical supplies. And then what happened? They made lot, they did good job, and Obama Biden destroyed it. They took away the incentive, all of the taxes. And they took away the incentive and Puerto Rico went down long way. We'll get some of that back to Puerto Rico and we'll get it back for us. Take it away from China. You heard that, yes? They took it away.Donald Trump: (01:45:58)And then people automatically vote. It's like habit. Will vote for the Democrat? The Democrat was so bad to you. And how bad were the Democrats to Israel? We did Jerusalem, right? We broke up the Iran deal, right? And then they vote for Democrat. It's out of habit, but think the habits, we're breaking those habits very quickly. But we've helped Puerto Rico and we've really helped... If you look at what we've done for Israel, it's been incredible. They say nobody's done more. And it's my honor. But we'll hire more police, increase penalties for assaults on law enforcement, and we will ban deadly sanctuary cities, which are disaster. We'll appoint tough on crime prosecutors. We will nominate judges and justices who interpret the constitution as written. We will ensure equal justice for citizens of every race, color, religion, and creed. We will defend the dignity of work and the sanctity of life.Donald Trump: (01:47:11)And that's why the Supreme court is so important. The next president will get one, two, three, or four Supreme court justices. had two. Many presidents have had none. They've had none because they're there for long time. They tend to be appointed young. They're there for long time. But the next one we'll have anywhere from one to four. Think of that. That will totally change when you talk about life, when you talk about second amendment, when you talk about things that are so important to you. You're going to be stuck for 40 years, 35 years, long time. So this is going to be the most important election, in my opinion, in the history of our country. You got to get it right. Because if you don't get it right, we will not have country anymore. You're not going to have country. Not as we know it. You won't have country anymore.Donald Trump: (01:48:06)We will uphold religious liberty, free speech, and the right to keep and bear arms. We will strike down terrorists who threaten our citizens and we will keep America out of these ridiculous, horrible, endless foreign wars. Countries you've never heard of. Coming home. We will maintain America's unrivaled military mind, and we will ensure peace through strength. This is what we have now. Peace through strength. Remember what told you about those weapons, we don't want to use ever, we don't want to use those weapons. We will end surprise medical billing, require price transparency, January 1st. He doesn't even have to do anything now. I'll be so angry if he... They'll say, "What job he's done on transparency, can you believe it?" And he won't even know what transparency is. And it's complex. And further reduce health insurance premiums and the cost of prescription drugs. We've done that already. We will strongly protect Medicare and social security, and we will always protect patients with preexisting conditions.Donald Trump: (01:49:29)America will land the first woman on the moon and the United States will be the first nation to land an astronaut on Mars. And we brought NASA back. NASA, when got in three and half years ago, grass was growing through the cracks of the runway. It was over, it was closed. It was nothing. Now it's the number one space center in the entire world by factor of five. We will stop the radical indoctrination of our students and restore patriotic education to our schools. We will. We will teach our children to love our country, honor our history, and always respect our great American flag. And we will live by the timeless words of our national motto, in God we trust. You know that the Democrat national convention and the pledge of allegiance at caucus, two of them, not one. heard the first one, said, "Oh, they must've made mistake." They left under God out of the pledge of allegiance.Donald Trump: (01:50:56)Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now they then said, "Oh, well we didn't mean that." They meant it. That's what they're going to do. They're going to take God out of it. Just like was saying before, Texas, they don't want God, they don't want oil, they don't want guns. don't think they're going to do too well in Texas. Do you agree with that? don't think they're going to do too well in Minnesota either. No, but could you imagine you're campaigning, and it doesn't play too well here, but could you imagine you're in Texas and you have guy say, "No oil, no God, no guns. Oh, think I'm going to vote for Joe Biden, everybody." And then they say, "Texas is in play, it's very close..." have friend in Texas. He said, "I think you're winning by 15 points." These people are crazy. Texas is in play. They don't want to let you have oil. Think of it. It's unbelievable. Texas is in play. That's the fake news back there.Donald Trump: (01:51:55)They said it last time too. Remember? Texas, when they say in play, that means it's too close to call. It's in play. Too close. We've heard that for long time, in play, right? Too close to call. And they said it four years ago, "Texas is in play. This could be terrible defeat, losing Texas. Big state, great state. This would be tremendous defeat." And they said it about Ohio too. think we won by like nine points. Right? They said Ohio is in play. Utah's in play. We won by lot. Remember we beat guy named McMuffin. Remember the guy? He was going to take the state of Utah. And then he was going to be able to negotiate. But that didn't work out. He came in third. Even Hillary beat him. But they said Texas is in play. And I'd go around telling my people, "Damn it, Texas is in play, how the hell? Every time go there, have 35,000 people at the stadium, how could it possibly be in play?" They said it's in play. My people would say, "I don't think so."Donald Trump: (01:52:50)And we had big Texas rancher. He was on one of the shows. He was wearing big, beautiful hat. wish could wear those hots. It wouldn't work for me too well. don't think it works for me, right? But it worked for him. And he said, "I don't know too much about lot, but know one thing. Texas is not in play. And this guy is going to win Texas by hell of lot of votes." And that's what happened that night, the night of the election. The night of the election, they called the results. I've been listening for six months, "Texas is so close, we can't even imagine it it's so close. This is big." And they only call the election immediately if you win in landslide, it's got to be tremendous. And they said, "Texas has closed its doors. Ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump has won the state of Texas." They didn't even say the polls were closed. They forgot to say the polls were closed.Donald Trump: (01:53:41)I wanted to say. said, "How come won?" called my people, "How could have won? It was so close they called it before they even said the doors closed." And heard from the governor of Texas, great guy, Greg Abbott. said, "How are we doing compared to four years ago?" We did great four years ago, big, big win. He said, "Sir, you're doing much better." But these guys keep saying it's in play. It's the same way that I'm down nine points in Minnesota. If lose Minnesota, if lose Minnesota, Jason, I'm going to blame Jason if lose. Boy, we almost had it last time. But we did the right thing. We went to Michigan, we won Michigan, first time in many, many years, that Michigan was won. It's great state.Donald Trump: (01:54:25)For years you had president who apologized for America. And now you have president who is standing up for America and standing up for Minnesota. So get your friends, get your family, get your neighbors, get your coworkers, and get out and vote. And you know it's starting today in Minnesota. That's why I'm here. It started today. Go out of here. You know what? If they're closed, what the hell time is it now? If they're closed, just stand in line like you do. People were here two days ago trying to get in here. It's crazy. So do the same thing at the voting booth, please.Speaker 1: (01:55:15)We love you! We love you Mr. President!Donald Trump: (01:55:16)From St. Paul to St. Cloud, from Rochester to Duluth, and from Minneapolis, thank God we still have Minneapolis, to right here, right here with all of you great people, this state was pioneered by men and women who braved the wilderness and the winters to build better life for themselves and for their families. They were tough and they were strong. You have good genes. You know that, right? You have good genes. lot of it's about the genes, isn't it? Don't you believe? The racehorse theory you think was so different? You have good genes in Minnesota. They didn't have lot of money. They didn't have lot of luxury, but they had grit, they had faith, and they had each other. That's what you have now. You have each other.Donald Trump: (01:56:11)They were miners and lumberjacks, fishermen and farmers, shipbuilders and shopkeepers. But they all had one thing in common. They loved their families, they loved their countries, and they loved their God. Proud citizens like you helped build this country. And together we are taking back our country. We are returning power to you, the American people. With your help, your devotion and your drive, we are going to keep on working, we're going to keep on fighting, and we are going to keep on winning, winning, winning.Speaker 1: (01:56:57)One more year. One more year. One more year.Donald Trump: (01:57:05)And don't forget, you went through years where you weren't winning, right? Years and years, they closed down. Even with Obama, he closed that iron. think he just wanted to get even with you, don't know. He wasn't good. Not good... We've knocked out about 84% of the things he did. Then you say, "I wonder if he likes me?" But you're getting used to winning and you're going to see winning like you've never seen before. You had your best year and you're going to win so much. You've heard this, right? haven't said it in long time because we've been doing lot of winning, but you're going to win so much. And you're going to send Jason to the US Senate. And you're going to keep winning and winning and winning.Donald Trump: (01:57:53)You're going to win on trade, you're going to win on the military. You're going to win on everything you touch. Minnesota is going to keep on winning and you're going to get tired of winning because Minnesota doesn't want to win all the time. Your football team is going to win in the big 10 they say, right? No, we are going to keep on winning in Minnesota. And you're going to get so tired you're going to say, "Jason, Jason, please, please Jason, go to the president. See him in the oval office. Stop him from winning. We're winning too much in Minnesota. We can't stand it. Jason, please, please Jason. Stop him from winning so much for Minnesota. We can't take it. We're not used to it because we went through years and years and years where it was tough", right?Donald Trump: (01:58:38)The mayors know that. That's why they all endorsed the president. And I'm going to look at Jason, I'm going to say, "No, Jason, I'm sorry. The people of Minnesota want to win, you're wrong, Jason. They want to win. We're going to keep on going, Jason, we're going to keep on winning. And they're going to be happy as hell, Jason." Get Jason in, he's great guy. By the way, you have Senator that he's running against. won't even mention names. She does nothing, nothing. Nobody even knows who the hell she is. She goes to meeting the other day, everyone's trying to figure out who is she? This guy... he even looks the role. Central casting, right? If you can get the look for free, that's good too. Right? But he's going to be fantastic. Tremendous guy, really successful. And he loves your state and he loves our country. So Jason, please knock them out. Knock them out.Donald Trump: (01:59:35)But you're going to win. We're one movement. We're one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God. And together with the incredible people of Minnesota, and you know what's going to be operating at strength? Because owe it to these incredible mayors that were so nice to me. That was such nice thing. And didn't politick you at all. never politicked you. said how nice. And it's happening with so many other things. We have other endorsements from police forces that never asked and all of sudden they're coming from very hostile territory. So just appreciate your being here. And I'm saying this for you and I'm saying it for all of you. Okay. Thank you. We will make America wealthy 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 Minnesota, thank you.

Trump: (03:50)Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the 45th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump.Speaker 2: (06:19)( singing)Donald J. Trump: (06:21)Wow, that's big crowd. This is big crowd.Crowd: (06:36)USA! USA! USA! USA!Donald J. Trump: (06:41)Thank you very much, everybody. Hello to Swanton and load to Toledo. I'm thrilled to be back in Ohio with thousands of hardworking, loyal, great American patriots ... days from now. Can you believe it, 43 days? We go to again win Ohio. understand from Bob Paduchik, you know Bob? That we're going to win it by more than we did. Whether we win at nine, we won by nine points. just came into that big, beautiful place. It's got more televisions in any plane in history. They've got televisions and closets and bathrooms on the floor, on the ceilings. just saw that we're tied in Ohio. don't think so ... President Trump may have slim lead in Ohio? They're not even campaigning in Ohio, come to think of it. Now, they're fake polls. They're almost as fake as the writers themselves. They're all fake.Donald J. Trump: (07:46)Remember last time they said, "No, he's going to lose Ohio." We won by nine points. So, we had seven swing states last time. President Trump is going to go home early, but it wasn't president at that time, it was just Donald Trump. He will go home early. We did. That we went home early as victors, but we had nine states. They had one of the crazy papers, New York Times. They hired that guy. They paid him millions because he never predicted wrong. He was wrong. don't know if they had contract where they could fire him, but they hired this guy. We had nine states. was down at all of them on the day of election. was going to lose all nine, and then guess what? won every one of them. Fake polls. They're fake polls.Donald J. Trump: (08:39)Then we have crowd like this. don't know. Look, the cameras, are you turning around? These guys are bad people. swear. They never turn the cameras around, ever. Turn them around. Turn them around. They never tell, look at them. It's just like bunch of stiffs. Real stiffs. Why don't you turn the cameras around for once? You look back there, you can't see it. There's got to be, feels like Madison Square Garden on the ground except we have more people. Oh boy, it's always tough. You know, we go through this all the time. We're always asking them, look at these crowds. mean, as far, you can't see it. You have this prime territory, like you should be in the real estate business. Now, as far as the eye can see back there, the cameras don't, they don't get it. You only hear it from the sound.Donald J. Trump: (09:40)I go home. say to the first lady, "Did you see that crowd we had tonight in Ohio?" She goes, "No, no. They just keep it on your face." That includes Fox. They just keep it here, right here. They don't want to show. You know what they don't know and what they don't get is that showing this kind of activity is good thing for them. It's positive for their ratings. It's really good thing, but they don't want to do it, but give up on it. You know what you do? You hear it because you can't have ... You know when sleepy Joe Biden, he's got the circles. You knowthose big circles? You know why he has the circles? He's got four of them, because they can't ... mean, think of it. He is guy who's failed every time he ran.Donald J. Trump: (10:26)We called him 1% Joe and now he's shot and he got their nomination. How the hell does that work out? How does that work out? But he's got the circles. He got like four, sometimes he has six because that's good way of saying, if you don't have any people, just put them in the circle and he's practicing the science. Now it doesn't work out, but we're going to win four more years in the White House. We're doing things that nobody's ever done before. We're doing what nobody's ever done, and thank you for being here.Donald J. Trump: (10:58)I wish we could move the press back further, if you want to know the truth. As our nation mourns the loss of Supreme Court Justice ... Thank you everybody. Thank you. So is our nation mourns the loss of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, will soon announce nominee for the United States Supreme Court. They say it's the most important thing president can do. don't know. think military, maybe. We rebuilt your military two and half trillion dollars.Crowd: (11:48)Fill that seat. Fill that seat. Fill that seat. Fill that seat. Fill that seat.Donald J. Trump: (11:58)Great. We will fill that seat. It's going to go quickly. Probably announced the person. don't want to make the men too angry. It will be woman. Is that okay? don't want to have problem with men. They'll say Trump is doing very poorly with men. You listen. How's he doing? Well, he's doing very poorly with men, with women. He's doing very poorly with the black community, Hispanic community. Then you have the election night doing very poorly with those with diploma, without diploma, college, PhDs. What's he doing well? Oh no, it's going to be very short night. Then they say Donald Trump is the projected winner by lot. They say, well, what happened is he did very well with women did very well with men, diplomas. He did well with African American community.Donald J. Trump: (12:49)By the way, we are doing really well with the African American community, with the Hispanic community. We're doing well with women. We're doing very well. We're doing well with suburbia, suburbia. ended regulation that will destroy suburbia. If Biden got in, they will destroy the suburbia. We call it suburbia of the world and we love it. know it well, Westchester County, the suburban, they sometimes, if you say suburban housewife, you're in deep trouble. So what you do is you say suburban women, they love me. You know why? They want security and they don't want projects being right next to their house. That's okay. They don't want it. By the way, that includes minorities. Because 29% to 30% of these suburban communities are minorities. That includes them.Donald J. Trump: (13:47)They don't want that. They want safe communities. They want great communities. They don't want to lose the American dream. It's very simple. got rid of the regulation from Obama- Biden that was destroying suburbia. Okay? Destroying it. think suburbia has got to wake up because if they get in, you know who's in charge? You know who's in charge of the program? Cory Booker, Cory Booker. Cory Booker. So, think the suburban women and suburban men and husbands and wives and everybody, you better get smart because you're not going to have your dream very much longer if they get in. If get in, you've got it. You've also got your second amendment if get it.Donald J. Trump: (14:40)In 2018, we expanded the Senate majority. Remember, they said, first of all, wasn't running. wasn't running. It makes difference. Wait you see what happens. We're going to take back the house. We're going to get rid of this crazy Nancy Pelosi.Donald J. Trump: (14:56)Kevin McCarthy's done great job. We're going to take back the house. People are so tired of her. People are so tired. Did you hear today? The latest. So, they impeached me for perfect phone call. Perfect. It was perfect phone call. Now they want to impeach me again if nominate somebody as I'm constitutionally obligated to do, to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States. Go ahead and want them to do that. want them to do that.Crowd: (15:26)Fill that seat. Fill that seat. Fill that seat. Fill that seat. Fill that seat. Fill that seat. Fill that seat. Fill that seat. Fill that seat.Donald J. Trump: (15:30)We will. We will.Crowd: (15:31)Fill that seat. Fill that seat. Fill that seat.Donald J. Trump: (15:32)We will.Crowd: (15:32)Fill that seat. Fill that seat. Fill that seat.Donald J. Trump: (15:40)If he puts forth highly qualified candidate, we will impeach him. Well, said, "Well, I'm the only guy in the world that could get impeached for trying to fill seat in the Supreme." So, we're going to put up our nominee who's going to be outstanding. We're looking at five incredible jurists, five incredible people, women that are extraordinary in every way. mean, honestly, it could be anyone. mean, we're going to be announcing it on Friday or Saturday. Again, they say it's the most important thing and think of it. So in single term, single term, by the end of our term, we will have nominated and had confirmed think it'll end up being over 300 federal judges and hopefully three Supreme Court justices. Think of that. Three.Donald J. Trump: (16:38)Some presidents, they never get any. They last long time, lot of presidents get none. We've had three. It's blowing their minds. It's blowing their minds, but for the people of Ohio, this is what you want. So, it looks like we're going to have three and it's going to be very exciting. It's exciting even from me. I'm going to look forward to it. Probably Saturday, we will announce the nominee and it's somebody that you're going to have great respect for, great respect. Thank you. Big stuff.Donald J. Trump: (17:07)That's big thing. They set the course of our country for many years to come, whether it's on life or the second amendment or so many other things, they set the whole course of the country. Very important position, the most important. Joe Biden has refused to list the names of his potential justices because he knows they're too extreme to withstand any form of public review. If Joe Biden and the Democrats take power, they will pack the Supreme Court with far left radicals who will unilaterally transform American society far beyond recognition. They will mutilate the largest figure the constitution and oppose socialist vision from the bench that could never pass at the ballot box.Donald J. Trump: (17:54)So, they don't want to show the judges because the only ones that he can put in are far left radicals. If he does something even towards left of center, which would be acceptable, guess, we have no choice. If he did that, he would lose the left. So, he's going to have to put in radicals. So he doesn't want to show who his judges are. I've shown list, have double list, about 45 from which will only pick, but he doesn't want to do that, because if you found out who he was going to pick, he would be unelectable. Hopefully, he's going to be unelectable anyway. We're going to find out.Donald J. Trump: (18:38)So, he wouldn't be able to survive Joe Biden. You wouldn't be able to survive. We've been calling it socialism. don't think it's socialism. think it's step beyond what they're talking about. You look at Portland, you look at Chicago, you look at New York, you look at Baltimore and Oakland. These are Democrat run cities that are horrible in crime. There's no law and order, no cash bail, no anything. You know what? The Republican cities are running great. They're running great. So, we're going to get it all changed around. We went into Minneapolis, we solved the problem like you wouldn't believe. What did it take? You saw it. What did that take? would say probably 30 minutes. Right? They should have called us in about seven days earlier.Donald J. Trump: (19:29)How about the reporter? He gets up there, behind him is burning city. never saw anything like it. He's saying, "There are really no protests here. This is very friendly." We call this friendly protester because you're not supposed to have political rallies. You're not supposed to have anything. The only thing you can have is thousands of people running down street burning stores, looting, doing what ... That's okay, because that's protesting, but we'll call this friendly protest, but your children will be robbed of their future and the damage will endure for generations to come-Donald J. Trump: (20:03)... future the damage we'll endure for generations to come. We have to win. This is the most important election in the history of our country in my opinion. And lot of that's got to do with the fact that we're going to have one extra, but we didn't think this was going to happen. But used to say just week ago, "We're going to have one, two, three, four, and maybe even five, the next President, and the Supreme Court is going to be tremendous factor." lot of people said that's the reason won so easily in the Electoral College last time. 306, 306 to 223. "He will not get to 270." Remember? "He will not get to 270. This will be short evening for Donald Trump. Oh, good riddance. Thank God we got rid of him. Oh, this is going to be great."Donald J. Trump: (20:57)And then that problem happened. "Ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump has won the state of Ohio." Remember the one, she was crying? She was crying. "Donald Trump has won Ohio." But it wasn't winning Ohio, it was by the margin. "Where the hell?" he said, "Where did this margin come from?" They opened the polls. Then they closed the polls. Normally you have to wait hours, unless it's total runaway. And they said, "Ah, the polls and the doors are closed in Ohio. Donald Trump has won." And they go, "Oh my God. But wait minute. He won by nine points. What the hell's going on over here?" Then they said, "Donald Trump has won the state of Florida. Donald Trump has won the state of Georgia. Donald Trump has won North Carolina, South Carolina." Remember that? Was that the most exciting evening, really? Remember?Speaker 3: (22:09)U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!Donald J. Trump: (22:17)And it's not Donald Trump. It's you. It's all of us. They use the name Donald Trump. It's all of us have won. And this one's going to be even better because nobody has done, and then don't even challenge it, the fake news, nobody has done in three and half years what we've done. We've rebuilt our military. Two and half trillion dollars. We've taken care of our vets. We have choice, we have accountability. We can fire people now when they're not treating our vets right. We couldn't do that before. They could treat our vets terribly. We have accountability. Nobody has done what we've done for our vets. 91% approval rating at the VA. 91%, the highest ever. So nobody's done it, and that's why think this is going to be the most important of all. used to say, "Well, don't know. How does it compare to 2016?" just gave that up. This is the most important election.Donald J. Trump: (23:16)You know why? Two reasons. Number one, that's over with, the hell with it. The hell with it. But the truth is it's got seat in, and we have lot of new things including additional, substantial, middle income tax cuts and other tax cuts, and tremendous regulation cuts. And we're finishing up with our military. We're building Space Force. The wall is going incredibly. You remember the wall? They don't talk about the wall anymore, the fake news. Once we started building it, if you think that was easy to build the wall, we had an entire party that would die for the fact, and made terrible mistake in the wall, instead of telling you, "We're going to build wall, we're going to build wall," the Democrats formed, it was very tough, but got it. I'm real estate developer. You can always get money. You learn we have lot of little pockets. We had lot of big pockets.Donald J. Trump: (24:13)But the military was great. The Army Corps of Engineers were great. So we're up to 330 miles of wall. We're doing 10 miles week, and we're going to be finished with the wall very soon. And it's exactly the wall, the little more expensive wall, they want like nice, expensive, but exactly what border patrol wanted. We're building them the exact wall that they want. We can't give them any excuses. We can't give them any excuses. But it's true, they used to talk about the wall all the time because they never thought I'd be able to get bill. Once got it going, got it built, got the financing, we won lot of lawsuits, by the way, we won lot of lawsuits. They sued us. Pelosi was suing us. Congress was suing us. The Senate was suing us. We won lot of lawsuits. Once it was obvious that we won and we started building, they never talk about the wall anymore.Donald J. Trump: (25:08)And made terrible, terrible mistake because had to work my ass off to get that thing built. You have no idea. You have no idea. You have no idea. But should have said, the mistake, should have said when talked to these big crowds, and the crowds are getting bigger, there's more enthusiasm now than we ever had four years ago, but should have said, instead of, "We will build wall," kept, "We will build wall," place would go crazy, should have said, "We will not build the wall. Under no circumstances, will we build wall," the Democrats would have given us all the money we wanted. It's true. It's true. And then they would have said, "See, he didn't keep his campaign promise." These people are sick. The Biden nominated justices will shred our Second Amendment, eliminate the right to self defense, and allow the government to confiscate your privately owned firearms. You know that. Put in other language, they will end your Second Amendment. And they will do that.Donald J. Trump: (26:18)By the way, if wasn't here, you wouldn't have Second Amendment right now. That would be gone. hate to say it. I'm the only thing standing between you and chaos, I'm telling you. And Second Amendment and all of the other things. Biden's justices will remove the words "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance. Did you see that? Did you see it? They said, "No, we'd never remove. And saw it, they're doing the Pledge of Allegiance. And said, "Oh, it must be typo." They left the words "under God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance, the Democrats. And said, "Oh, there's typo. Typo, they made mistake. What stupid mistake. Can you believe it? That guy's in big trouble. What stupid mistake." And then heard it second time. They did the same mistake. That's what they're doing. They're going to take God out of everything just like they want to knock down the statue of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson. That's never happening. It's never happening.Donald J. Trump: (27:24)A lot of these Democrats states, you see it, the churches are closed. They don't want our churches to open. You can have riot where you kill people in the streets. 25,000 people don't have to wear mask, nothing. They can march down the streets, step on each other's face, they can do whatever the hell they want, that's okay. But you can't go to church. They have ideas, they have plans, and it's never happening with me as your President. That can tell you. And you see it, they want to tear down crosses from public spaces. You see it. Since signed little law, they were ripping down lot of statues about four months ago, and said, "Do we have any laws, like old laws when they was strong, when we were smart, when we were tough?" "Sir, we have one, sir." General came in. "What's the law, General?" "Sir, there was law from quite while ago, 10 years in prison."Donald J. Trump: (28:23)They didn't use the word jail, prison. Prison's tougher word. said, "What do you mean, 10 years?" "You get 10 years in prison if you knock down statue or if you knock down monument." said, "General, let me see that sucker, please. Bring that to my office." And we revived it because you can't get that approved by Congress. They would never. Today in Congress, you'd do it, they'll give you half day in hotel someplace. So 10 years. So they were having big march on Washington in two days and signed this new law. We updated it, and it was 10 years. You get 10 years in prison. You touch, you knock down monument. And there's no games. This is the old days. This is the days when we had strong laws, when we had real laws, when we had real politicians that knew how to make laws. So here's the thing. So they weren't going to come in, they were actually looking to knock down the statue of man named Thomas Jefferson. That's not too good. They had obliterated lot of different things.Donald J. Trump: (29:29)And so had news conference. announced that I'm signing law that anybody that knocks down monument or statue gets 10 years in jail. And the police in Washington, and we had National Guard, we had Secret Service. We were all ready for them. We were ready for them. And the time came, there's was only problem, nobody showed up. You know why? 10 years was too much. 10 years was too much. It's amazing the way. Isn't it amazing the way it all works? So instead they burned down Portland. speak to the Governor. The mayor is hopeless. He's hopeless, poor guy. They chased him out of his apartment, and he still thinks they're wonderful people. They're burning down his city. But want to go in there with the National Guard so bad. It would take us 15 minutes to solve the problem. When they heard in Seattle that we were going in, we were going in the next day, the guys just walked away. They left. That was the end of it. We had nothing to do.Donald J. Trump: (30:38)But they want to ban all prayer in public schools and require taxpayers to fund extreme late term abortion. Biden's justices will erase national borders, they don't want borders, protect sanctuary cities, and compel the unlimited entry of foreign nationals. And if you look at some of these jihadist nations, no thank you. Somebody said, "That's not nice. That's not politically correct." said, "That's okay." They'll clip all the police departments, free violent criminals, shield foreign terrorists, and declare the death penalty unconstitutional, even for the most depraved mass murderers who kill women and children. That's what they want. They don't want any death penalty. Not for the Boston Bomber, not for anybody. You see the Boston Bomber, they're still trying this guy, what he did to so many lives. He killed people, ruined so many families, ruined so many lives. And by the way, they want the Boston Bomber to be able to vote. You know that.Donald J. Trump: (31:45)In three and half years under my administration, we've secured America's borders, rebuilt the awesome power of the United States military, obliterated the ISIS caliphate 100%, fixed our disastrous trade deals, and brought jobs and factories back to the great state of Ohio. love Ohio. love Ohio. don't know what it is. was told by Bob and some of the Congressmen that are here, we have some great ones, I'm going to introduce them in second, but was told that they're not even trying for Ohio. You know why? Because love you and you love me, and that's the way it is. That's the way it is.Speaker 3: (32:44)We love you! We love you! We love you! We love you!Donald J. Trump: (32:44)Thank you. love you too. It's very interesting. So somebody in the fake news media did story yesterday because there's crazy chances going on. They have too about the seat and all that. But there was another chant that's happening at all these rallies. We're having massive rallies. We're in Minnesota. We had tremendous crowd. Wisconsin, tremendous. Pennsylvania, every one of them. mean, in all fairness, it's like this, everyone. But this rant is going on like it's crazy. And it's, "We love you. We love you. We love you," and you know what? don't want to say it. I'm just saying, they have not been able to find in the history of politics in this nation, even we loved Ronald Reagan, but they have not been able to find where people broke out and said, "We love you," about, guess have to call myself politician. don't feel like politician. How nice is that? never heard it. I've been to lot of different speeches and rallies. I've never heard crowds go, "We love you."Donald J. Trump: (33:46)But you know why? We love you. love you. But you know why? Because, again, nobody has done what we've done. Ohio had the best year in its history last year. We had great year. And next year, assuming we win, which hope we're going to win, but if we win, you're going to have year next year. First of all, take look at the third quarter. It's going to be announced the numbers just before the election. They'll come out three days before the election. And I'll tell you what, I'll bet on the numbers, even though Crazy Nancy and these people don't want to give any stimulus, they don't want to give anything. They want to keep lot of states closed wherever they can. You know what they're going to do? They're going to announce they're going to be opening on November 4th. There'll be open. All these closed states, they're going to be open on November 4th.Donald J. Trump: (34:36)One of them blue and teacher's union. Did you see it? "No, we don't want to open now. We don't want to open. The pandemic. We don't want to." We're rounding the turn on the pandemic. Vaccines are coming soon. "But we don't want to open. Around November 4th we're going to open." This person that's judge of union said that. That was not good. think they'll get rid of her quickly. I'm also proud that we have successfully brought back the Big 10 and the Ohio State Buckeyes. You better have good year after all of that. You have good team, right? Good coach. Good team. Good everything. You have good team. You always have good team. But there was case, what do know? said, "How's it going? Everything good? Are you struggling?" They said, "Sir, Sleepy Joe Biden did an ad that you," me, "that you closed football." said, "What do you mean closed? didn't close." The guy did an ad. It's called disinformation. It's called the opposite of what the fact is.Donald J. Trump: (35:41)Not only didn't close it, didn't think about it too much, okay? The states should all be open. But heard about Big 10 football, and because of this ad, said, "Hey, wait minute. have an idea." It was fake ad, just like the ad on the grave sites, and that allows me to say that this man is gross incompetent. He has no idea. Because now, see, would never talk like that, but when saw that horrible thing, and nobody's done more for the military than have, when saw that horrible ad, "An anonymous source has said that Donald Trump said this," have 28 people now that have come forward saying it's total lie, they don't care, so they did an ad, once they did that, said, "Well, now the gloves are off." Let's face it, Joe Biden is incompetent. He always was even in prime time. he was incompetent in prime time. And now he's really incompetent.Donald J. Trump: (36:35)But because of the ad, said, "It's very interesting, that ad, it's very interesting. Let me call up the Commissioner." had called up the Commissioner, very good guy, and said, "Commissioner, what can we do to get Big 10 football back?" "Well, don't know." And we started little thing, the Commissioner and myself, one of my guys, he's fantastic, and within few days, it started getting talked about, and then we kept it going and we helped him with some testing because we have the greatest testing in the world. We get no credit for it. We've tested almost 100 million people. India is second with 38th and they have 1.5 billion people, slightly more than you. But will tell you, so all of sudden they have schools. Then looked like it was going to open without Michigan and without couple of states. And then all of sudden the pressure became so great, and the full league is opening now and it's going to be very exciting. And will tell you, it's not question of taking credit, but truly we were the ones that did that.Donald J. Trump: (37:35)I mean, it was. I'll tell you when do it and when don't. But it was closed, it was gone, it was announced that it was closed. And what really spurred me on was when Sleepy Joe announced that was the one that did it. said, "I didn't even know it was closed." But once found out it was, called the Commissioner. He was really good, tell you. And we called couple of the top people at the universities and they got it going. It looked like we had seven schools, eight schools. All of sudden, everybody fell into line. think they're all open now. Every one of them is participating. So want to thank the Commissioner. want to thank all of those schools. May the best team win. In other words, Ohio State. That's good team. You know who the best proponents were? The players and especially the parents of the players.Donald J. Trump: (38:26)These kids have short window to get into the NFL to create some excitement and how good they are. And you have lot of potential players, but they couldn't play football. And they said, "We're safer on the field than we are staying at home," and they meant it. And we did something and I'm happy about it. So enjoy the football, enjoy it. Under 16 years of Presidents Obama and Bush, median household income rose only $2,945. So remember that. That's 16 years, 2009, so let's say 3000. Under three years of President Trump, it rose almost $7,000. So think of that, 16 years. Three years, achieving the highest median income in the history of our country. In my first three years, we lifted 6.6 million people out of poverty, the largest poverty reduction of any President in the history of our country.Donald J. Trump: (39:25)We built the greatest economy in the history of the world and we are doing it again. We're building it again. see the signs "Make America Great Again," so say this, it's called now "Make America Great Again. Again". Because we did it and then we had to close it up. We saved millions of lives. If we didn't do that, you would have had three million people. It would have been terrible. It's terrible anyway. They shouldn't have allowed it to happen, China. To defeat the China Virus, we launched the largest mobilization since World War Two. Through pioneering therapies, we reduced the fatality rate-Donald J. Trump: (40:03)Through pioneering therapies, we reduced the fatality rate 85% since April. Think of that. That's remdesivir and all of the things, the plasma, all different things. Where do you see what's coming out? Europe is almost 30% greater excess mortality rate than the United States. That's before today's big breakout. You know they had big breakout in Europe and they keep saying in the fake news, they keep saying about, "Oh, Europe, Europe, Europe." Well, we're doing better than Europe. hate to see what happened, and it had big impact on the market today because it was bad thing. But they had big hit and they'll take care of it. They know how to do it. They'll take care of it. We're working very closely with Europe and other countries, including on the vaccine. We have three vaccines right now that are right there. They're right at the starting gate and they're going to be fantastic. So it's good.Donald J. Trump: (40:53)With Biden, if you had that regime, you'd be three years away because it would have never gotten out of the FDA. What we've done in very safe manner is amazing. Now remember this, Biden was in charge of the swine flu, right? It's called the H1N1. Remember he calls it the N1H1. said, "No, no, no, no." comes before the N. It's so easy. But he goes, "The N1H1." We say, "No." But it's the swine flu. Maybe we just call it the swine flu. He did such gross, horrible job on that. His own man who was in charge of it said they didn't have clue. They didn't know what they were doing. It was much less lethal disease and they lost many, many people. Many, many people. It was totally incompetently.Donald J. Trump: (41:40)And now got this guy standing up. Well, we're giving him advice. His own guy that ran it. Did everybody see this? They're saying they didn't have clue what they were doing. It was so bad. don't know why the hell he said it, to be honest with you. Who would say that? Maybe because he was honest. Does that make sense? Now Biden gets up and he's saying to do the same things as we've already done. He basically took our plan and he said, "This is what you should do." But we have among the lowest case fatality rates of any major country in the world and the fastest economic recovery by far of any Western nation by far.Donald J. Trump: (42:22)Our bold and early action saved millions of lives and our decisive economic response saved tens of millions of jobs, including 1.9 million jobs in the state of Ohio. You know that? He knows it. He's got one of them. He's got one of them. Through operation warp speed, we're developing these great vaccines. And that's going to be... Literally, these will be done in record time. Like nobody's ever done it before. On November 3rd, Ohio will decide whether we end the pandemic and return to record prosperity or whether we allow sleepy Joe Biden and his group of incompetence to delay the vaccine, shut down the country. He actually suggested that he would shut down the country. We now know the disease. We didn't know it. Now we know it affects elderly people with heart problems and other problems. If they have other problems, that's what it really affects. That's it.Donald J. Trump: (43:22)You know, in some States, thousands of people, nobody young below the age of 18, like nobody. They have strong immune system. Who knows? Take your hat off to the young because they have hell of an immune system, but it affects virtually nobody. It's an amazing thing. By the way, open your schools. Everybody open your schools. Sleepy Joe Biden wants to impose $4 trillion tax site, ban American energy, destroy the suburbs, give free healthcare to illegal aliens. How about that one? You know the bad part about that? We all have heart. We want to take care of people. Probably that is everybody's going to come to the United States. People that weren't even thinking about it, they're going to say, "Oh man, these idiots are giving free healthcare, free college education. They're giving free everything. They're giving Rolls Royce to every family that enters through the Southern border."Donald J. Trump: (44:21)Remember said that jokingly and CNN said, "He misrepresented. They are not getting Rolls Royce." agree. Now they're sick. They are sick. And indoctrinate your children with poisonous anti-American lies. They're doing that. We're stopping it. To combat the toxic left-wing propaganda in our schools, announced last week that we're launching pro-American lesson plan for students called 1776 Commission. We will teach our children the truth about America, that we are the most exceptional nation on the face of the earth and we are getting better and better all the time. We got to. No party can lead America that will not teach our children to love America.Donald J. Trump: (45:18)Biden's running mate, Kamilla. Who likes Kamilla? Does anybody like her? She was the most failed candidate. mean, she started off good. And every week she went down, down 15 points, 12 points, 11 points, 9 points, six points, five points, four points, two points. Didn't she leave at about two or one? She was heading down to the basement. She was so mean to him. felt sorry for him. No, did. felt sorry. So she called them everything from racist to MeTooer. He was MeToo. He was part of the MeToo generation. What she called him, what she said. So brilliantly said, "Well, he can't pick Pocahontas because she was too nasty. How nasty was she to Bloomberg? Was she unbelievable?Donald J. Trump: (46:12)Boy, he was standing there. What happened? What happened? No, actually. What happened? Mini Mike. He's another beauty. He's real beauty. Mini Mike, what happened? What the hell happened? He hit her so hard. Remember? She hits him with about 30 different things, and I'm not talking about our president. He thought she was talking about me. Can you believe it? And I'm not talking. I'm talking about you. He said, "Get me out of here. Get me out of here." And now he wants to buy his way back into the Democrat party. He wants to buy his way back into the Democrats. He hasn't taken enough abuse. If were him, I'd sort of either ride it out or stay with the good Trump economy and get even richer.Donald J. Trump: (47:04)Biden's running made even urged supporters to help the bail riders out of jail. You saw that? Including one who attempted to murder police officer and man accused of sexually assaulting an eight year old child. Now they're trying to free them on bail. They're putting up the money to get them out by this plan to appease the domestic terrorist. And that's what it is. My plan is to arrest the domestic terrorist, and that's what we're doing for many people in jail. Many people.Donald J. Trump: (47:40)Remember what told you about the monuments? This is remembrance. Isn't it beautiful? We don't see that anymore. Have you seen monument knocked down recently? No, we don't see it anymore. don't know. We want to rip down Abraham Lincoln. It got to Lincoln. First, it was not too many people heard of him. Confederate soldiers, et cetera. You say, "Hey, look, do it through process." But they started hitting Lincoln. Then they hit Gandhi. Now Gandhi was about peace. Gandhi just wanted peace. Leave me alone. Peace, peace, peace. Let's rip them down. They're sick people. The Democrat party's war on cops has already led to surge in vicious murders in Democrat control cities costing countless black lives. If Biden and the left gain power, they will dismantle police departments nationwide.Donald J. Trump: (48:31)I'll tell you, the community that's most hurt, most hurt by what they're doing and there is the black community, the Hispanic community. And we're doing great in the polls with the black community and the Hispanic community. And the Asian community. We're doing great. In fact, we did so well last night on one poll, they said it must be typo. They did. It must be an error. It wasn't. It's no error. You're going to find out on November 3rd it's no error.Donald J. Trump: (49:05)As president, always stand and will always stand with the men and women of law enforcement. They're great people. They're very brave people. Not easy, and they don't get support. We have to give them back their dignity. We have to let them do their job. That's very simple. They're great. We're joined tonight by two high school football players. They became very, very famous. They became more famous than President Trump. They were beautiful. watched them running through the crowds with those flags. Here's some place, don't know, you got lot of people here. We're going to try and figure it out. Hold up your flag. Jared Bentley and Brady Williams, who were recently suspended from their high school football team after displaying flags in support of our police and first responders on the anniversary of September 11th attacks. Where are they?Donald J. Trump: (50:19)Come up here, fellas. Come up. Come up here. Come up here. Secret Service is thrilled about this. See, these young kids can hop over the fence like it's nothing. Come up here. They're good looking kids. want to congratulate you. You become famous. They're going to go to Hollywood. They're going to become movie actors right now. Right? You feel good about it?Larry Obhof: (51:02)Yeah. [inaudible 00:11:05].Donald J.

"You better do it." Right? That's great. Thank you very much, fellas. Great job. Really great job. Country has lot of respect.Donald J. Trump: (52:13)Speaking about warriors, we're also joined tonight by some great, great congressmen who are warriors and they represent Ohio so well and they love you and they love our country. Representative Bob Latta. Thank you, Bob. Great job. They like you, Bob. That's very good. Good job, Bob. Thank you very much. Congressman Warren Davidson. You know Warren. Thank you, Warren.

How are we doing, Larry? Is it going good?Larry Obhof: (53:37)We're going to make Ohio great again.Donald J. Trump: (53:41)You're right about that. You're doing great job. Thanks, Larry. appreciate it. Ohio GOP chairman Jane Timken. She's unbelievable. Thank you, Jane. How are we doing, Jane? How's it going? How does it compare to four years ago, Jane?Jane Timken: (53:58)[inaudible 00:00:54:00].Donald J. Trump: (54:00)Up higher. All right. Good. Good. think we are. think we are. friend of mine that I'll tell you, this is the greatest optimist. When thought we had to be down, we lost lot of the top, top support. The head of the Republican party, little things like that. said, "We don't have head of the Republican party. He left because you had terrible governor in this state." Terrible. Your previous governor was terrible. He was terrible. I'll tell you, got this man. didn't know him. Within about week, said, "Man, this guy's big optimist." And he was right. He called it right to the thing. He ran my campaign. When he came back for the second time, we had him in high position. said, "Bob, think you're great. You're doing great job. want you back in Ohio. We have to do it again." Bob Paduchik. Where's Bob? Thank you. Thank you, Bob. Get over here, Bob. Thank you, Bob. He wants no glamor. He wants no glory. He just wants to win.Donald J. Trump: (55:01)He called it right down to the bone. We had rough couple of days. said, "Bob, how we doing?" "You went up two points." said, "You got to be kidding." But we did. So much evolves around Ohio and it's just state that we have relationship with. It's great state. We've done great job for you and you've done great job for us. So we appreciate it very much. Thank you.Donald J. Trump: (55:26)Together, we've spent the last four years reversing the damage done by the Democrats and Joe Biden over 47 year period. Think of it. He's always talking about, "You should have done this. You should have done that." He really just left office. It's not that long ago, right? He's been there for years and years and now he should have done. He's never going to do anything. He's never going to do anything. Guy is stone cold loser. Biden supported every globalist sellout of Ohio workers for over half century, including NAFTA, China's entry into the World Trade Organization, the disaster known as TPP and how about the Paris Climate Accord? That's another beauty. I'll tell you, that was designed to hurt our country.Donald J. Trump: (56:14)You would have lost trillions of dollars, closed your factories all over the place. In the meantime, China didn't kick in for another 10 years. The whole thing was rigged deal. tell you, said, "I'm going to get killed for this one, but we're going to terminate." And you know what? The people got it right away. Everybody understood. That was another rip off of our country. This state lost one in three manufacturing jobs after the NAFTA and China disasters. Joe Biden is shameless phony who pretends... He doesn't have clue. What the hell? We're talking like he knows. He's got guys around him that are pretty smart. They're radical left. He's going to do whatever they tell him to do. He pretends to care about blue collar workers. After spending more than five decades in Washington, he tells me, "Why didn't you do this? Why didn't you do that?" You see these fake commercials. "Why didn't you do it?" said, "I've only been here three and half years. This guy has been here for 47 years. He didn't do anything."Donald J. Trump: (57:12)History says when you're here for 47 years and you fail, it's not going to happen. But he was closing your factories, opening your borders, outsourcing your jobs and inflicting economic carnage on your towns and you know that. And came along and you had the greatest couple of years you've ever had. To save our auto industry, withdrew from the transpacific partnership with [inaudible 00:17:38]. My actions saved countless jobs across Ohio and here in Toledo, the home of the Jeep, right? The home of the Jeep. That's good. That's great brand. They've done great job with Jeep. Jeep. Everyone loves Jeep.Donald J. Trump: (57:52)Earlier this year, kept my promise to Ohio when we ended the NAFTA nightmare. proudly signed the brand new US-Mexico-Canada agreement in July. That's big difference. Like day and night. It's working out great too. It's working out great. You know how know that it's good deal for us? Because they don't like it. took the toughest ever action to stand up to China's rampant theft of Ohio jobs. We achieved American energy. We passed record tax cuts and regulations. Our energy independence is incredible. We have now energy independence. We don't have to be in these far away lands anymore. Now we'll be there to help certain allies that have been great, but we don't have to be.Donald J. Trump: (58:42)Since my election, natural gas production in Ohio has surged 63%. They want to close it up. By the way, you do know they want to close it up. They want to close up all fracking natural gas ever. They want to close it up. This would kill at least 700,000 Ohio jobs. Probably more than million. While I'm president, America will remain the number one producer of oil and natural gas and Ohio workers will continue leading the way.Donald J. Trump: (59:15)I just left the great state of Texas, and talked to lot of people like this, great crowd of people. We have tremendous support all over the country. I'll tell you what. These people are great. And here's the platform that they have. Sleepy Joe Biden. No oil, no religion, no God, and no guns. Now I'm in Texas. It's really rough thing in Ohio, but now we're talking Texas. No oil, that doesn't work well in Texas, right? No guns. That doesn't work well in Texas. No God. Look what they're doing to the churches and everything. That doesn't work. No God. No religion. That doesn't work well. You would have to be George Washington with your running mate would be Abraham Lincoln. Okay. Your VP candidate. And you'd still lose very big. And then they say-Donald J. Trump: (01:00:03)... and you'd still lose very big. And then they say, "Yeah, he's doing okay. He's two up in Texas." They said it last time too, that Texas is even, four years ago. And everybody said, "No, think Trump is killing it." We'd have stadiums with 25,000, 30,000 people, much more that couldn't get in. We'd have 40,000, 50,000 people outside and they'd say was even. We won in landslide, just like we won this state, in landslide. You know the expression they use, "Texas is in play." You know what "in play" means? It could go either way. And guys would get on there and say, "I don't think so." And then that night again, "The polls in Texas have closed. Donald Trump has won the great state of Texas." mean, the whole thing is crazy. It's crazy, it's crazy.Donald J. Trump: (01:00:48)You know what they do? It's suppression polls. They try and depress you. They try and make you unhappy so you go out to dinner with your wife, your husband, you go out to dinner, "Darling, let's have dinner. It's so sad. We love Donald, but he just can't make it. He can't make it. Let's go out, have dinner. We'll come home and watch the results." Except 2016 came and nobody did that, they all went out and voted and we kicked ass. Tell me, was that the most exciting evening in the history of television? Did you ever see the ratings, the combined ratings? think the biggest ever. But was that the most exciting? 2016, was that the most exciting evening in the history of television?Donald J. Trump: (01:01:38)We invested $2.5 trillion in the U.S. military, including more than $6 billion in contracts. I'll tell you what, you like the word pronounced Lima or Lima, because saved Lima. And tell you what, saved Lima. came here and they were going to close that plant in Lima. They were going to close the tank plant. It was done. And said, "Why are we closing tank plant?" And got couple of calls from my friends, the Congressman right here. And got calls. And Jim Jordan called me. Do you like Jim Jordan? He's great. And looked at this army tank plant in Lima. said, "Why are we closing it?" And saw the people building the tanks and the technology's incredible. And if you ever closed it, you'd never be able to open thing like that again. So overrode the generals, overrode everybody, and now we're making record number of tanks in that plant and it's absolutely thriving.Donald J. Trump: (01:02:42)But we had tremendous success. We took 100% of the ISIS caliphate and we killed the founder and leader of ISIS, Al-Baghdadi. We took out the world's number one terrorist and the mass murder of American troops and many other people. Qasem Soleimani is dead. He's dead. withdrew from last administration's disastrous Iran Nuclear Deal. They paid $150 billion, plus $1.8 billion in cash. You know they got? Nothing. They got nothing. kept my promise, recognized the true capital of Israel and opened the American embassy in Jerusalem. Every president for many, many decades said they were going to do it. They never did it. They never did it. They didn't have the guts to do it. They campaigned on it, they were all going to do it. Then they got there, there was lot of pressure put on them. lot of pressure put on me. Every leader was calling all over. "Please don't do it. Please don't do it. Mr. President, please don't do it. Don't do it. Don't move it. Just leave it the way it is. It's okay."Donald J. Trump: (01:03:51)But promised and said, "I'm going to do it." And then got calls from the biggest people in the world. Kings, got calls from presidents, from prime ministers, "Please, please don't tell it." Then got calls, "Please have him call me back me," me. said, "Look, tell everybody I'm out for three days. I'm not going to be able to call them back." had news conference, we announced it. Then called everybody back. "Hey, how you doing? How's everything going? Everything going good?" "Yeah, well, wanted to talk to you about Israel, but it's too late. You already did it." And we did it and we got it done and nobody else got it done. And it's something we had to do. also recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. And instead of endless wars, we are forging peace all over the Middle East. And you saw that.Donald J. Trump: (01:04:40)And I'm the only man that got nominated for Nobel Peace Prize and didn't get any press. They wouldn't. For two of them. Last week, I'm not bragging about it, I'm just saying, I'm the President of the United States because of Kosovo-Serbia, they've been killing each other for years, worked out deal for them. got nominated. And then Israel with Bahrain and UAE, and many more to come. mean, they all want to do it. We'll have peace in the Middle East without blood all over the sand. No blood. We're going to have peace in the Middle East. So was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. And told this story last night. Should tell it or not? Should I? Yes. She wants me to do it. So go home to our great First Lady. said, "First Lady, you're going to be so proud of me tonight. was nominated not once but twice for totally separate events by different people." Great people.Donald J. Trump: (01:05:46)"First lady, was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize." was like this. "I was nominated." It's big deal for our country, right? And she said, "Oh, that's good." said, "Let's turn on the evening news. Let's watch it. This is going to be big show tonight. Get ready." And NBC, which is one of the most crooked, one of the worst newscasts, and I'm talking about normal NBC, not MSDNC. MSDNC is the worst. So turned on NBC with Lester Holt, another beauty. And they start with hurricane and then they went to something, and something else. And I'm saying, "First Lady, this is getting little embarrassing. We're 20 minutes into half hour show. They haven't mentioned the Nobel Peace Prize." And then it went through the whole show and they never mentioned. Then got nominated for second one. They never mentioned. And when Barack Obama, Barack Hussein Obama got nominated, now when Barack Hussein Obama got nominated, he didn't know why he was nominated.Donald J. Trump: (01:06:54)It was like right at the very beginning. He didn't do anything. He did nothing and he got nominated. It was the biggest story I've ever seen. But that's okay. In the meantime, we're President and they're not. No, that's right. You would think if you nominated for the Nobel Prize, you'd get maybe half second. The First Lady, she said, "Sorry, darling. That's the way it goes, isn't it?" Joe Biden opposed the mission to take out Osama bin Laden. He opposed killing Soleimani. He voted for the Iraq War disaster. He backed the disastrous Iran Nuclear Deal. And he cheered the rise of China as very positive development for our country. "Oh, it's really great." If it were up to Sleepy Joe, bin Laden and Soleimani would be alive today, ISIS would be on rampage, Iran would control the Middle East, and China would be the dominant power anywhere in the world.Donald J. Trump: (01:07:56)And want to tell you, if you go back few months before this pandemic, we were gaining, gaining, gaining. We had an insurmountable lead on China. always heard they were going to catch us by 2019 for 10 years. We were so far beyond, we were doing much better than they were. The Biden agenda would obliterate our economy. He destroyed social security, destroyed protections for pre-existing conditions. That's what he's going to do, drain your Medicare by giving away your healthcare to illegal immigrants. He would end our travel ban to jihadist regions and increase refugee admissions by, listen to this, over 700%. And this is the manifesto with Bernie Sanders, with Crazy Bernie. He made this deal with Crazy Bernie. And by the way, lot of the Crazy Bernie voters last time, four years ago, voted for Trump because of trade, because the one thing they do understand, that our country has been off for years.Donald J. Trump: (01:08:56)Biden opposes school choice and vowed to ban charter schools. Very important to have them. In second term, will provide school choice to every parent in America. They're totally against it. vote for Republicans is vote for safe communities, great jobs, and limitless future for all Americans. And just, in conclusion, first of all, it's been great honor to be with you. This is, really, it's great state. They're great people. really mean it. No, really mean it. Get out there on November 3rd. We've got to win this one big. This is bad, bad ideology. This is probably step beyond socialism. really think in many ways, it's communism we're talking about. This is step beyond. Socialism's no good. Communism's really bad. But get out there on November 3rd and let's show him your stuff and show them the stuff of all of us.Donald J. Trump: (01:09:53)So, in concluding, over the next four years, we will make America into the manufacturing superpower of the world and we will end the reliance, this ridiculous, crazy reliance on China, and all of these far away lands once and for all. We will make our medical supplies right here in the United States. We will hire more police. And by the way, thank you, police. Thank you, law enforcement. Increased penalties for assaults on law enforcement and we will ban deadly sanctuary cities. We will defend the dignity of work and the sanctity of life. We will uphold religious liberty, free speech, and the right to keep and bear arms. We will strike down terrorists who threaten our citizens and we will keep America out of these ridiculous, stupid, endless, foreign wars.Donald J. Trump: (01:10:59)We will maintain America's unrivaled military. Our military might has never been like it is right now because of what we've done. And we had no choice, and hope to God we never have to use it, because if you would ever see the power of what we've done over the last three years, it's almost better for you not to see it. We are the envy of every power, every country in the world. We have weapons that nobody ever even thought possible. And just as said, hope to God we never have to use them. And the way we don't have to use them is to keep that kind of strength. Nobody's going to be talking to us. We're going to have peace through strength, and it's all made in the U.S.A. Made in the U.S.A. We'll end surprise medical billing, require price transparency. I've already signed it into law. Kicks in on January 1st. It's going to cut your bills down to level that you wouldn't believe. That doesn't mean the drug companies and the hospital and corporations are happy with me. But that's okay.Donald J. Trump: (01:12:10)And further reduce health insurance premiums and the cost of prescription drugs by 50%, 60% and 70%. Big pharma does not like me too much. They're taking ads about me that are so bad, but you get it, you understand it. They're not too thrilled with me, including the rebates. The rebates go back to you. The rebates before went back to very rich people. We will strongly protect Medicare and social security, and we will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions. And America will land the first woman on the moon and the United States will be the first nation to land an astronaut on Mars. That's what's happening. NASA is again the leading space station anywhere in the world. There's nothing like space center, what we've done. And there was grass growing in the runways when took over three and half years ago.Donald J. Trump: (01:13:11)We will stop the radical indoctrination of our students and restore patriotic education. We will teach our children to love our country, honor our history, and always respect our great American flag. And we will live by the timeless words of our national motto, "In God we trust." For years, you had President who apologized for America. Now you have president who is standing up for America and standing up for the great state of Ohio. So get your friends, get your family, get your neighbors, get your co-workers, get everybody, and get out and vote. Got to get out and vote. And in your state, in Ohio, early voting has already begun and don't wait. And when you see them cheating on the other side, don't say if, when, when you see them cheating with those ballots, all of those unsolicited ballots, those millions of ballots, you'll see them, anytime you do, report them to the authorities. The authorities awaiting and watching. From Akron to Columbus, from Cincinnati to Queen City, know it weller than Cleveland, and from Dayton to Toledo, we inherit the legacy of generations of Ohio patriots, like Neil Armstrong, Annie Oakley, William McKinley, and the amazing Ulysses S. Grant, that's good. Nobody's stock has gone up like Grant. Nobody in the last 10 years. We stand on the shoulders of American heroes who crossed the oceans, blazed the trails, settled the continent, tamed the wilderness, dug out the Panama Canal, laid down the railroads, raised up the skyscrapers, won two world wars, defeated fascism and communism, and made America the single greatest nation in the history of the world, and you haven't seen anything yet. Proud citizens like you helped build this country and together we are taking back our country. We are returning power to you, the American people.Donald J. Trump: (01:15:40)With your help, your devotion, and your drive, we are going to keep on working, we are going to keep on fighting, and we are going to keep on winning, winning, winning. We are one movement, one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God, and together with the incredible people of Ohio, we will make America wealthy 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, Ohio. Get out and vote. Thank you.



                      Donald Trump: (02:14)Well, thank you very much. So want to start by saying, "Hello, Nevada. How are you doing? How are you?" And I'm thrilled to be in Douglas County, but people are coming from all over the place. There's lot of people for Douglas County, isn't it? We have thousands and thousands of loyal, hardworking American patriots, that's what we have. And 52 days from now, we're going to win Nevada, and we're going to win four more years in the White House. And then after that we'll negotiate, right? 'Cause we're probably, based on the way we were treated, we're probably entitled to another four after that.Donald Trump: (03:15)And it should never happen to another President. That's just dishonest group of people. But here we are, and we're going to be here for another four years. The governor of your state-Crowd: (03:30)Boo!Donald Trump: (03:34)... tried very hard to stop us from having this event tonight. He didn't like us having... They can have riots and they can have all sorts of things and that's okay, you can burn up the house, that's okay. We call this protest because if you call it protest, you're allowed to have it. It's okay. So if anybody asks you outside, this is called friendly protest, okay? It's true. You can't have political rallies. That's because of me, because if Biden were here, he'd have about three people. Do you ever see him with his little circles? The circle? You know why he puts the circles? Because he wants to be like correct with COVID, but it's not really because they can't get anybody to fill up room. So they put these big circles. So he can't get anybody to fill. Nobody wants to go. Oh, boy, the fake news, look at all those people back there, the fakers.Crowd: (04:31)Boo!Donald Trump: (04:36)That's true. Boy, they covered. Did you see the other day, now they're finding out that to do an interview, an interview, they ask him question. That means they're giving him the questions, they never gave me questions before. So to do an interview, he demands on getting the questions, and his people write out the answer. So they ask him question. He goes, "Bring it up closer, can't see it, dammit." Great. This is something. You know, we have debate coming up in three weeks. And here's the problem. Winston Churchill. Did you ever hear of Winston Churchill? Winston Churchill was great debater. Great. And if Joe gets off the stage, walks off the stage, if he makes it, which think he probably will, in all fairness, he's been doing this for 47 years, right? think he probably will. If he gets off the stage, they're going to say it was the single greatest debate they've ever seen. Winston Churchill was nothing compared to Sleepy Joe.Donald Trump: (05:44)You know that, you know that, they're going to say, "What great performance. He was great today. He was great. This guy was great." Nah, he's not great. But your governor tried to stop us. He tried to stop us. The governor of Nevada, he tried to stop us, and we went to different venues. Kelly O'Donnell, she's fading reporter for NBC. Do you know that? She was on, she said, "Well, they have crowd tonight." Behind her, it looked like 25,000 people. That's what we have, by the way, lot more coming in. But she said, "He's got maybe thousand people, thousand." You know what got? have thousand people here. No, this is the fake news. You know what? It's not question of how many... They are just bunch of dishonest people, I've never seen anything like it.Crowd: (06:46)Boo!Donald Trump: (06:46)Being in real estate and being in New York and being in all over, I've seen lot of dishonest people. think the media, the fake news is the most dishonest group of people I've ever seen anywhere in my entire life. And that includes, by the way, leaders of foreign countries that aren't our friends, okay? That's big statement. They really are bad news. But here we are, and this is really amazing. The governor tried to stop us, he couldn't, but think of this, he's in control of millions of votes. Here's guy calling venues, telling them not to have the rally, calling different venues, "Don't have the rally. We're not going to let you have the rally."Donald Trump: (07:28)And he's calling, this governor who was political hack, he was political hack, and then he became governor. And this is the guy that we're entrusting with millions of ballots, unsolicited ballots, millions and millions. And then we're supposed to win these states, and we have guy that would do that where he won't let us have, and we call it protest and therefore we can do it. But you want to know something? It's disgrace. So who the hell is going to trust? They say, "Trust government." Well, how would you trust guy that fought that we aren't here, that we can't have all these thousands of people? Boy, you are really back far. That's... Look at that.Donald Trump: (08:14)No, but seriously. And now he's in charge of the election and the millions of ballots. So if I'm up like millions of votes, he can rig the election, he can rig the election. And I'll tell you what, whether it's in North Carolina, whether it's in Michigan, whether it's in other states where they're sending out, they're going to be sending out 80 million ballots. And it's Democrats. They're trying to rig this election, at every single place in the last year, year and half, go modern day, forget about... Tiny amounts, congressional race in New York, small number of votes. If you go to New Jersey, if you go to Virginia, if you go to Pennsylvania, if you go to California, look at some of these races, every one of these races was fraud, missing ballots. And don't mean like 1%. mean like 20%, 25%, they're trying to rig the election.Donald Trump: (09:26)They should make people, if you register, if you want solicited ballot, that's where you ask for it. You have to sign papers. You get it because you can't be there. That's one thing. When they send 80 million ballots to people, they have no idea where they're going. Actually, they probably do have good idea where they're going, and that's our problem. They send 80 million ballots out. Where are they going? Who are they sending them to? Are they sending them to certain areas and not other areas? Are they sending them to Democrat areas? These are all controlled by Democrat governors, like your politically motivated governor. So, just to finish on that, look, just to finish on that, he's guy that tried to silence us by not having this. And it ended up, our crowd turned out to be lot bigger than NBC, which is owned by Concast. C-O-N, Concast. C-O-N-C-A-S-T, Concast. It's really Comcast, but call it con because it's whole con.Donald Trump: (10:35)I'll tell you what, in the old days, think it should still be, news when they broadcast had to be reasonably accurate, right? And they had licensing. Today, they can do whatever the hell they want. It's fake news, and it's disgrace. And you know what, back there, and I'll tell you, it's hurting our country. It's hurting our country. They're the biggest problem that this country has is the fake news media, worse than the Democrats, because the Democrats are their partners. They play together. Joe Biden spent the last 47 years selling out America, offshoring your jobs, throwing open your borders, depleting our military and sacrificing your children's future in China. I've spent the last four years bringing our jobs back to America, securing our borders, rebuilding our military and standing up to China like never before. Nobody has ever stood up to China like we have stood up to China, and you haven't seen the last of it.Crowd: (11:38)USA, USA, USA, USA!Donald Trump: (11:41)Sleepy Joe Biden, who surrendered, you know where he is now, he's in his damn basement again. No, he's in his basement. He's in his basement. But can be bad to him because he put the most vicious ad on television that I've ever seen. Do you know what I'm talking about? Where I'm standing over the graves of our fallen warriors, our fallen heroes. These are great people, the greatest people there are, and I'm standing over there and they have some sleazebag reporter from third rate magazine having some source quoting me saying, won't even use the term, but saying bad things. And there's nobody that loves our military, respects it and the people more than me. And they took... And didn't even ask. We had 25 people that were witnesses that are on the record already that have said that never took place. It never took place, what they said. And yet pathetic Joe, and he's pathetic human being to allow that to happen. Here's the problem, he doesn't even know what happened, don't think. think he has no idea, but he's pathetic human being to let that happen, where they put an ad like that, where I'm standing over graves. And then they said, "He said this," with no sources, no nothing. They got nothing. And have 25 real witnesses with the names, with everything, saying it never happened. And they put an ad like that up, they're disgrace. But you know the good part? Now can be really vicious. can be really vicious.Donald Trump: (13:25)And we'll start by saying, we're going to start by saying that the Democrats are trying to rig this election because it's the only way they're going to win. The only way they're going to win is to rig it. Biden's surrendered your jobs to China. Look, his son walked away with billion and half dollars, give me break, give me a... His son's going to say, "Dad, you can't take this money away. Don't do it, Dad, please, don't..." You know how much experience he had? There's young man here, he's very young, young man, handsome young guy. He's about like 12. You know what? He's got more experience than Hunter. Hunter.Donald Trump: (14:07)Where's Hunter? Where is he? With no experience, no knowledge of energy, no job, got thrown out of the military... You know he got thrown out, by the way. used to be nice about that. Now don't. Once saw that ad, don't have to be nice anymore. Okay, really mean it. And by the way, on that ad, know some horrible people, horrible human beings, some of the worst people in the world, really do, they're horrible, none of those people, and they're the worst, the worst, real estate developers in New York, you don't get much worse. know some of the worst people in the world, not one person do know that would say that, standing on top of graves, of heroes, really, not one person. So will tell you this, so now we can play it like it is. Let's face it, Joe is shot. Let's face it, okay? He's shot. So not that he has anything to do because he won't know what's happening. He'll just be locked up in room someplace, and the radical left is going to be running our country.Donald Trump: (15:14)Four more years, four more years, four more years, four more years, four more years, four more years, four more years, four more years, four more years!Donald Trump: (15:16)Thank you. But now he wants to surrender our country to the violent left wing mob. You know that. If Biden wins, China wins. If Biden wins, the mob wins. You see what's going on with all these democratic or always say Democrat-run cities and states. It's disaster. It's disaster. And we keep saying, "Let us bring in the troops." Well, we did it in Minneapolis, we ended it. In 45 minutes, it was ended. They went through two weeks. By the way, we could do it in Portland in half an hour. It would all be over. But we have these stupid people that think... How about that poor mayor? Is that pathetic, Wheeler, is that pathetic? They forced him out of his home. He's now finding new home, it's so nice. It's pathetic. Honestly, it's pathetic.Donald Trump: (16:08)We could solve that problem in half an hour, just like we did. And by the way, the US Marshals did great job in Portland. They did great job. You know what mean. If Biden wins, the rioters win, the anarchists win, arsonists, flag burners, they all win. I'm running for reelection to bring prosperity to Nevada, to the whole country. I've been here long time. have some things in Nevada that are very good to put violent criminals behind bars and to ensure the future belongs to America, not to China. do get kick out of watching guy, "Oh, I'm going to do this." He copied my whole plan. You see, he says, "Buy America," said, "Where the hell have you been for the last half century?"Crowd: (16:58)We love Trump, we love Trump, we love Trump, we love Trump, we love Trump!Donald Trump: (17:04)Thank you.Crowd: (17:04)We love Trump, we love Trump, we love Trump, we love Trump, we love Trump, we love Trump, we love Trump!Donald Trump: (17:15)Could ask the fake news to take your cameras and show all the way back there for hundreds of yards, all the way back there. Take your cameras. Go as far as the eye can see. No, no, tell NBC News it's not thousand people. You can't see it. You can't see it down here. You won't believe how many people. That thing goes back...Crowd: (17:45)USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA!Donald Trump: (17:59)So the bottom line is when we win, America wins, that's what's happening. And nobody's done to China what did. Look, billions, tens of billions of dollars of tariffs we took in. gave $28 billion to farmers. The farmers are doing very well. They're doing very well. Thank you. Thank you, President Trump. 28 billion. 16 billion one year 12 billion. They were targeted. said, "How much is it?" Sonny Perdue, Secretary of Agriculture, great guy, said, "How much were they hurt by?" "Sir, 12 billion two years ago and 16 billion last year." said, "All right, good. We'll take it out of China." We gave them 28 billion, to the farmers. That never happened before. You think Joe Biden would even think about it? He wouldn't even think about it. He wouldn't even think about it. No, he's more worried about, does he have teleprompter to answer reporter's question.Donald Trump: (18:51)The worst part about that isn't the fact that he's doing that, because let's face it, he's unable, okay? It's not that, it's that the fake news would give him the questions. They never gave me the questions. Did you ever give me questions, back there? Did you ever give me... They don't give me questions. The fake news would give him questions, but of course now Donna Brazile works for Fox, so that's gone long way. Remember? Remember when Donna Brazile gave crooked Hillary the questions, right? To debate? And then she said, "Well, don't think did it. don't remember." knew she was in trouble when she said, "I don't remember doing that. don't remember." She didn't remember. Oh, okay. Well, as long as you don't remember.Crowd: (19:34)Lock her up, lock her up, lock her up.Donald Trump: (19:36)It's true. It's true too. It's true.Crowd: (19:38)Lock her up, lock her up, lock her up, lock her up, lock her up, lock her up.Donald Trump: (19:44)You know what, used to stand back and I'd say, "Be quiet, please. Don't say that. It's really not nice." You know it's true. She deleted 33... Think of it. They'll never find the emails because they were acid washed, deleted. But you know what? She got subpoena from the United States Congress, right? And she and her lawyer deleted 33,000 emails after she got United States subpoena. And you say, "Why isn't she guilty of major crime?" Right? And then she took her telephones and she smashed them with hammer. Right? And then she took the other ones, and she deleted them. And now the Mueller scam, these people, the worst people. have friend, very smart guy, very streetwise guy. He said, "You have to be the most honest guy in the world to go through three years of investigations, where they have the worst human beings in the world." They worked for the Democrats. They worked...Donald Trump: (20:42)I mean, Mueller didn't have clue. This guy was totally... But look at this Weissmann, how bad was Weissmann? He deleted his phone. That's illegal. He deleted everything. They all deleted. And they all said, "Oh gee, we made mistake. We're sorry." They all used the same mistake. They all made... It was, "Oh gee, we didn't mean to do that." Every one of them, all of them. think it was 31 different phones, they deleted. These are criminals we're dealing with. And they've got to... There has to be repercussion. There has to be repercussion. We're dealing with criminals. So don't care if you say it anymore because you know what? She illegally deleted, and her lawyers should go to jail with her, okay?Donald Trump: (21:25)And the fact is the Republican party doesn't play it rough and tough like those people, they don't play it the same way. They're too nice. And we have better policy. Thank goodness we have better... We believe in borders. We believe in no sanctuary cities. We believe in lowering taxes. We have better, but our people don't... We have some that are very good. Jim Jordan, good, right?Crowd: (21:51)We love you, Mr. President!Donald Trump: (21:53)Jim Jordan. Mark Meadows, good, right? No, we have some very good, but I'll tell you what, we play it so nice, and in the end it's not right because what they get away with... And Obama and Biden got caught spying on our campaign using the intelligence, put that in quotes, using intelligence to spy on our campaign, and they got caught. They got caught. And if it was me that got caught, forget about it. But they got caught and somebody said, " Well know, but he was President." Oh great, I'm President too. And hell of lot better President than he is, can tell you that. Obama came into office, they gave him the Nobel Prize, like almost immediately, right? In fact, he didn't even know why he got it. He didn't even know, he had no idea why he got it. And he was right about that because nobody else does either. They still don't know, but we've done lot of things. So we were nominated few days ago for Nobel Prize, which is big thing. Nobel Peace Prize.Donald Trump: (23:14)And then yesterday we were nominated second time for another Nobel Prize. Now, that's big thing. To me, it's big thing, even though obviously it's very political thing, but it's very big thing. The Nobel Peace Prize, right? got, it was just reported. I'm just reporting this, got zero time on the nightly news, on the network news. Zero, zero. We got zero time. Think of it, the President of your country is honored by being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, and your nightly news, ABC, which is terrible, CBS, which is terrible, and probably the worst of all owned by Concast, they spend fortune on PR, and then every time get up, call them Concast and sort of wipe out their fortune. But they are bad people. But NBC is the worst of them all, not one mentioned. These people are corrupt. Not one mentioned, not one mentioned.Donald Trump: (24:20)So your President gets Nobel and, at least nomination, and they don't mention it. Joe Biden cannot lead our country because he doesn't really believe in our country. Right now, don't think he believes in anything, he just wants to go to sleep. That's all. "Please, darling, want to go to bed. I'm exhausted. made one speech yesterday." "But darling, they gave you the answers and the questions." "I know, but that was big strain because my eyes, couldn't see the teleprompter." This guy is the worst. am... And you know, it's going to maybe come back to haunt me because we have rigged election. It's rigged election. It's the only way we're going to lose, but I'll tell you what, he is the worst candidate in the history of Presidential...Donald Trump: (25:03)He is the worst candidate in the history of presidential politics. He doesn't know he's alive. He doesn't know he's alive. And got to know President Xi of China very well, President Putin of Russia, Kim Jong-un. By the way, what happened to the war? thought we was going to war with Kim Jong-un. Where's the war? Where's the war? Oh, see. Oh, see. It never happened, did it? Never happened, did it?Donald Trump: (25:27)Well, maybe some day, could happen. No, remember? "Trump is going to be ... " You know my personality, right? "Trump is going to be war at within the first week after he wins." Where's the war.?In fact, the peace prize was because stayed out of wars, and by the way, ended certain Wars that could have happened that you don't even know about. And look what we did just yesterday in Europe, and look what we did with Israel, and you just saw that, with United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain.Donald Trump: (26:04)For 72 years, nothing happened, and we did it. We do it very fast. And plenty of other countries are going to be coming in. At Biden's convention, they decried it. You're hell of crowd. I'll tell you. You're [inaudible 00:26:15].Audience: (26:15)[crosstalk 00:01:17]-Donald Trump: (26:42)Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Now, after this is over, you'll have like at NBC, this third-rate reporter stand up. They had small crowd, insignificant crowd, in great location. You know how great it was? We landed, we had to drive for 50 minutes. That's how great. But like it anyway. I'll take it. I'll take it anyway. like it. You're my kind of people. We love each other. like it.Donald Trump: (27:22)We landed the big, beautiful Air Force One. just asked as we're coming in, "Why couldn't we have landed here?" would have rather, then could have had the plane right behind me. Instead, we have the beast. See the beast. What you don't know is the beast costs almost as much as the plane. It's hell of car. It's walking army tank, the beast. But we could have. said, "Why don't we just land here?" And we couldn't. So get off the plane. Oh, good. "How long will it be?" "About 50 minutes." That's long drive. And driving here, there were tens of thousands of people on the streets with flags.Donald Trump: (28:12)And then you read these fake reporters and they say, "President Trump is tied in Nevada, tied." don't think so. The only way we're tied is if they screw around with the ballots, which they will do in my opinion. Okay? We're not tied anywhere. asked some people that traveled with Obama. said, "Was it the same thing?" They say, "Not even tiny fraction of what you have." There's not even fraction. We have more enthusiasm. We have more spirit than any campaign that anybody's ever seen. It's true.Donald Trump: (28:53)And that includes 2016, where the enthusiasm obviously was great. How about all those states that we weren't supposed to win? "No, he won't win there. He won't win there." Then all night long, "Donald Trump won the great state of Texas. Donald Trump won the great state of ... " this and that, and one after another. Was that one of the coolest things, watching their people go crazy? They went crazy. No, they went crazy.Donald Trump: (29:24)How is he going to do in Georgia? Well, think George is going to be very close. It's going to be very close. They go, "The polls in Georgia have closed. Donald Trump wins the state of Georgia." You know why? Because we won by so much, that they can do it simultaneously by saying, "The polls closed, and he won." We had many of them. Right? And by the way, we're doing great. just had ... Florida is biggie, good one. And we are winning in Florida by lot, so that's good. lot.Donald Trump: (29:47)I'll tell you here, because you don't read about that stuff. They don't like to write that. They don't like to write it. They have all fake polls. I'll tell you what, the polls are worse than the writing. Actually, in my opinion, the polls, they're suppression polls, they're meant to make people discouraged, Even me, I'm supposed to be discouraged. And fortunately, four years ago, we weren't discouraged, because if we would have believed the polls, nobody would have voted.Donald Trump: (30:14)The concept is really make people feel so that on election, they go, "Darling, let's go out to dinner. It's so sad about the president. wish he was going to win, but let's go out to dinner. Then we'll come home. Let's not bother voting, right? Let's not bother voting." See, it's suppression, but my people might don't get suppressed. My people go out and vote.Donald Trump: (30:35)My people go out and vote. There's no suppression. Phony polls. How about the guy? The New York times hired this pollster, this great genius. He never called one wrong. don't know. Three, 46.. don't know what the hell ... It's called three 40 ... What's his deal?Speaker 1: (30:51)Silver.Donald Trump: (30:52)Yeah. It's Silver, Silver, Nate Silver. They pay him fortune. He said, think he gave us 2% chance, 3% chance, "Donald Trump has 3% chance today of winning." The damn thing was over by 10:00.Donald Trump: (31:11)We were given very tiny chance. What chance did he give us? Like 9%, something like that. You know, they gave him millions of dollars shortly before, because he never called one wrong. He called that one wrong. He called that one wrong. And this is the one ... mean, must tell you they're little more accurate. At least here they have us even in lot of places. " He's even." Well, we're not even, we're not even.Donald Trump: (31:33)This is going to be the greatest victory. This is more important election than four years ago, I'll tell you, more important. Because at no time before, has there been clearer choice between two parties or two visions, two philosophies, two agendas for the future. There's never been anything like this. On November 3rd, Nevada will decide whether we will quickly return to record prosperity, like we had.Donald Trump: (32:02)We had the greatest economy in the history ... not of our country, in the world. We were beating everybody. We were beating China. Remember, if you go back, some of you go back, if you go back 10 years, 15 years, five years, everything was ... In 2019, China will overtake the United States as the largest economy. And that didn't work out too well for them. That didn't work out. We were just doing leaps and bounds. We were doing so great, and then we got hit with the plague, the China plague. And we're not thrilled. It's disgrace. Nobody should have died. Nobody should have died. We got hit. The whole world got hit, but they stopped it from going into the rest of China. They stopped it from going into China, but they didn't stop it from coming into the US and Europe and 188 countries.Donald Trump: (32:57)So whether or not we allow Biden to impose the biggest tax increase in the history of our country, $4 trillion, or ban ... He wants to ban energy, ban American ... He wants to stop fracking. Hey, by the way, when he was running as Democrat, in the worst debate performances I've ever seen. Okay? What do you think ... He was unable to answer anything. Are you awake, sir? Sir, please wake up. And who was the worst? Who treated him the worst? Kamala. Kamala.Donald Trump: (33:29)She's another beauty. She started off as favorite. She was at 15. Then she went down to 14, to 12, to 10. She was like dropping rock in water. She was going down so fast. Then she went down to five and four and three, two, and then she said, "I got to get the hell out of here. This is getting embarrassing."Donald Trump: (33:50)And nobody treated him worse than Kamala. Right? She called him racist. She called him everything. She was horrible to him. And he says, "She was Kamala. She's just great." Oh, yeah. These people, these people. You're supposed to choose the people that did well. She got out before Iowa, as remember. Right? She didn't want to run in Iowa, and then Bernie got ... Again, this guy is the greatest loser ever because-Audience: (34:15)[crosstalk 00:34:15]-Donald Trump: (34:15)No, no. No, he's good sport, Bernie, crazy Bernie. He's so crazy, but he's good sport, because with Hillary, they really did.Donald Trump: (34:26)Do we have any young children here? know it's on lot of television. Could you turn the television off just for minute, just for about three seconds? He got screwed. Right? Okay. Now you can turn it back on. But then they really did with this last one, because if Pocahontas, Elizabeth Warren, if she would have left the race one day before the big Super Tuesday, mean, Bernie would have her philosophy, right? Liberals.Donald Trump: (34:56)By the way, you know who's more liberal than Bernie? Kamala. She's rated the number one most liberal ... This is not for Nevada. This is not for [inaudible 00:35:04]. And would say, she'll be president. If he ever wants, she'll be president within the first month or so, would say. think it's just an excuse. Using him as just an excuse to get the super libs in there, so they can destroy our suburbs, demolish our Second Amendment, erase your borders and indoctrinate your children with poisonous, anti-American lies in school. So under my leadership, we built the greatest economy in the history of the world. And now we're doing it again. We're doing it again. You've seen the numbers. And we're developing vaccine in record time. It will be ready before the end of the year and maybe much sooner than that. They're very unhappy about that. It's amazing.Donald Trump: (35:56)We have couple of really great experts, one who's ... We call him Dr. Scott. You know who I'm talking about? He's great. He said, this is the only time ... They were grilling him on television, saying, "Well, the vaccine's going too fast." You know why that's too fast? Because they don't want it to happen before the election. He said, "This is the only thing in the world. I've never seen anything like it. Everybody wants vaccine. And when we start getting it fast, because President Trump happens to be president ... " and we've done this in record time, years ahead of schedule. If this was Sleepy Joe and Obama, you wouldn't have vaccine for three years. But listen, he said, "This is the craziest thing."Donald Trump: (36:32)So you're going to have vaccine quickly. Right? And everybody's upset about it. So now they're trying to hurt the vaccine. And they're trying to say as many bad ... They know nothing about it, but they're trying to hurt it, and it's shame. But he said it better than anybody I've heard. He said, "You're trying to hurt this country by saying bad things about the vaccine, because we're going to produce it early." It's the craziest thing. Think about it. Now, having vaccine is good, but we're rounding the turn regardless. We're rounding the turn, and it's happening. mean, it's happening. You see. Florida is way down. Texas is now way down. Arizona, governor's done great job. All three governors have done great job. And Louisiana now, they had spike, but they had the spike, but the spike was able to be handled, because now we understand. And what we did, we saved millions of lives, because hated to do it, but we had to close it up, understand this disease, and then open up again.Donald Trump: (37:33)And we opened, but we would have had 2 million, two and half, or three million people. Think of it. We're at like around 180,000. One is too many. One, too many. But we would've had two and half, three, three and half million people. It would not have been acceptable, would not have been sustainable. We've done an incredible job. And these people that have done it with me, the ventilators, the vaccines, the therapeutics, these people ... mean the hospitals, the beds that we built, the ships that we sent to New York, the ships that we sent. To have an ungrateful governor in New York, Cuomo, to have an ungrateful governor. We sent him ships. We sent them ships. We sent them.Donald Trump: (38:19)We built convention center with 2,800 beds, and he didn't use the beds for senior citizens. He hardly used the beds at all. He hardly used the ships at all. He said we did phenomenal job, and now he gets political. He wants to get political with me. real wise guy, but that's okay. You got to see what they are doing between him and de Blasio. That's beauty. What they've done to my beautiful city. love that city so much. What they've done is so horrible. The highest taxes in the land, crime all over the place. They're like 300% up in crime. We need Rudy to come out of retirement. But we're defeating the China virus. When Biden was vice president, he was complete disaster on the swine flu, which was much easier thing to handle. Joe Biden's own chief of staff said that when Biden managed swine flu in 2009, they quote, "Did every possible thing wrong." This is the guy that worked for him in charge of the swine flu. And 60 million Americans got H1N1 in period of time. And it's just purely ... He said it was just ... we were lucky. He said, "It's just lucky that there weren't great mass casualties." Different kinds of disease, little bit.Donald Trump: (39:37)And what he said is amazing. He said we did nothing right. This is the man that's going to tell us all about building ventilators. You think Joe is going to be able to build thousands of ventilators month? Which now we're doing, and sending them to all these countries, all over the world, who have no hope of building ventilators, and they need them badly.Speaker 2: (39:58)Thank you [inaudible 00:14:58].Donald Trump: (40:00)So it's an amazing thing. The outbreak was so rampant that Obama-Biden, the administration, told States to stop testing immediately, and they ordered the CDC to stop counting cases because they looked like hell, okay? We didn't do that. By the way, the reason we show so many cases, because we have the best testing program in the world, by far, by far.Donald Trump: (40:26)We've tested more people than India, than many, many big countries put together. India's second. We're 44 million tests ahead of India. They have 1.5 billion people, and Prime Minister Modi calls me. He says, "What job you've done with testing." said, "Explain that to these dishonest people back [inaudible 00:15:45]."Donald Trump: (40:47)Biden's record demonstrates that if he had been in charge when the China virus arrived, hundreds of thousands of more Americans would have died. As vice president, he presided over the worst and the weakest and the slowest economic recovery since the Great Depression. You've heard that before. It was the most pathetic recovery since the Depression. No state was hit harder by Biden's failure than Nevada. And was out here and that right about that. You got hit hard. This is not the guy you want.Donald Trump: (41:20)But under my administration, before the virus, we quickly achieved the lowest unemployment rate in the history of Nevada. And we'll soon have it back there again. We'll soon have it back there again, but hope everybody here, 25,000 people, whatever the hell it is, including those people back there, they're angry at me. don't know why we gave the press this good location, because ... No, it blocks the people ... thousands of people back there, and the press is blocking them. And consider them much more important than do the press. [inaudible 00:41:53].Donald Trump: (41:59)But Biden wants to raise your taxes so high. He would eradicate your economy. He'd put on new regulations, and it wouldn't be him again. I'm going to keep saying it. It will be the people that control him. He's puppet. And then he wants to do complete shutdown. We're setting records. We just set job record for four months, 10.4 million people.Donald Trump: (42:21)Listen to this. So when we had this pandemic worldwide, look, it's terrible thing that thing like this happened. People were saying we could go to 41, 42% unemployment. You know what we are now? 8.4%. don't say that's ...Donald Trump: (42:38)If you would have said that ... And we have the strongest, highest stock market in history, so your 401ks are doing great. If he got in, we would have the greatest depression in the history of our country. mean it. think 1929 would look like good times. All right? Because he'd do everything wrong. He'd raise your taxes. He'd raised the hell out of interest rates. He'd do everything wrong. The Biden shutdown will permanently destroy the lives and dreams of tens of millions of Americans, inflict totally lasting harm on our children and lead countless deaths from suicide. Don't forget when you do these shutdowns, your state is shut down.Donald Trump: (43:19)You got governor. You shut down, except if you have riot. You're not shut down for riots. Riots, you can have, they can burn the hell out of the Strip. They can burn the hell out of Reno. They can do whatever the hell they want if it's riot. But if you want to go to church, you can't do it. If you want to be in group of people, you can't do it. But there's lot of harm done on the other side. There's lot of tremendous harm done. Remember, the cure can't be worse. Remember that.Donald Trump: (43:51)And on the other side, drugs, suicide, depression, substance abuse of different kinds, heart disease. You have tremendous problems on the other side. Open your schools, open up. We got to open up this state. And guarantee you ...Donald Trump: (44:13)And by the way, the states that are open are doing really well. They're doing much better than the ones that are closed. don't know if you've been seeing the numbers. And this is just arithmetic. The states that are open are doing great. The states that are closed, North Carolina, what he's doing to that great state, he's got it locked down, shut down. Michigan, what she's doing. And we're trying to get Big 10 football by the way, but we won't even. Michigan, what she's doing to Michigan is unbelievable.Donald Trump: (44:41)Take look at what they're doing to Pennsylvania. And here's another governor in charge of millions of ballots. So I'm going to win Pennsylvania, but what's he going to do with these ballots? Where are they going? Who are they sending? Who's sending it back? Who's signing? They don't even have to have an authorized signature in Nevada. Do you know that? They don't have to have ...Donald Trump: (45:01)You don't have to have an authorized signature on ballot? No. They're trying to rig an election, and we can't let that happen. hope you're all going to be poll-watchers, hope you are, because with you people watching the polls, it's going to be pretty hard to cheat. I'll tell you, wouldn't want to be cheater. They'll figure way. No, they are. It's very dangerous thing.Donald Trump: (45:23)It's very dangerous thing, and totally mean it. And I've been at it. And you see people. And by the way, it's not even politics. It's common sense. They said millions of ballots. People are getting ballots. People died and they're getting ballots. They're sending them to dogs. You see that? Dogs got ballot. Everybody's getting ballots. Probably everybody, but Republican are going to get the ballots. Right? And they're unsolicited. So when you say, solicited, because like solicited better as word than absentee. Absentee, nobody knows what the hell it's supposed to represent. It's not really good definition. One is solicited, where you ask ... You solicit the ballot.Donald Trump: (46:00)You want it, you sign papers. They send it to you. You send it back. It's okay. It's good. But unsolicited, where they take millions of ballots. So what happens? happen to think the postal people are great, but what happens if one of the post guys, before he gives the ballots, he takes whole handful and hands them to some Democrat political operative, right?Donald Trump: (46:21)And so, he hands him thousand ballots, and the guy doesn't even have to ... you don't have to have verification to do that. Now, here's the good news. We're in front of court. And hopefully, the court's going to rule, because this is the greatest scam in the history of presidential politics. These people are ... they've gone crazy.Donald Trump: (46:42)Biden and his party of liberal hypocrites want to lock law-abiding Americans in their homes, which is what they're doing. And they want to keep them out of church. They really do. They're fighting God, they're fighting guns, and they're fighting oil. Think of it. don't think they'll do too well in Texas. Did you see where they said? "We think the race will be quite close in Texas, but the president has an edge." Listen, I'm in favor of oil and energy. I'm in favor of religion and God. Okay? And I'm in favor of our great Second Amendment, guns.Donald Trump: (47:25)So he's against our Second Amendment. Okay, you know who he'd put in charge. Beto, Beto. Or as he says is, "Beto, Beto." So when Beto was legit and then Ted Cruz beat him, and Ted did very good job. tell you, he did great job. But Beto went totally south. He's gone crazy. So he now is big gun guy. He wants to take guns away from everybody. So who did Biden put in charge? Beto.Donald Trump: (47:54)Remember Beto was interviewed in some magazine or third-rate magazine, most of them are, but remember? And Beto said, this was at the beginning before he got beat to hell. said, "He thought this was easy, didn't he?"Donald Trump: (48:07)But remember when Beto said, "I was born for this." As soon as hear somebody's born for running for president, said, "He's out. That's the end of him." Nobody's born for this. This is tough stuff. had great life, I'll tell you. My life was so beautiful. What the hell did do this for? But you know what? You know what? We are doing things that nobody's ever done before.Donald Trump: (48:34)And say it all the time, and that's what makes me happy. We're dealing with very sick and very bad and evil people. But I'll tell you no administration in three-and-a-half years, no administration has done what we've done in the first three-and-a-half years. But they want to punish you for praying in church while they let agitators and arsonists burn your churches down.Donald Trump: (49:01)Look at Washington. They want to burn the churches down, and that's fine. But you want to go pray in church, they won't let you do that. Just last week, Biden proudly accepted the endorsement of pro-criminal, anti-police, Portland district attorney, who has policy of releasing rioters, vandals, criminals, and violent extremists without any charges. No charges. Never saw anything.Donald Trump: (49:26)By the way, all of these places were talking about are Democrat- run, Chicago, New York, Portland, Seattle. The only reason Seattle got settled, because they knew we were going in. We told them, "we're going in tomorrow morning. We're going to open it up. We're going to take it." It would have taken us 20 minutes. So they sent people that night, because they didn't want to be embarrassed. But look at what we've done. And so, every place we've touched, we solved the crime, but they have to ask us. If they don't ask us, we're not supposed to do it, but maybe we do it anyway. And it usually takes anywhere from 25 minutes to ...Donald Trump: (50:03)And it usually takes anywhere from 25 minutes to about one hour. Wasn't that beautiful sight though in Minneapolis, right? They're burning the poor city down. love that state. think we have chance of winning in that state, first time in many years for Republican. They're burning Minneapolis. You don't think of Minneapolis that way, right? You don't think of it. The city is burning down. You have this fake CNN reporter, what's his name? Velshi, the nice shaved head. Maybe should try that, should try that? No, don't think ... " Donald Trump went down substantially in the polls, like about 40%. He showed up with new haircut, it's called the shave head." Ali Velshi. And remember he said, "No, this is friendly protest. It's friendly protest. And it's really quite nice." And people are throwing bottles at him, he's being hit with tear gas. This is friendly protest. And you look over his shoulder and the entire city was burning.Donald Trump: (50:55)Do you remember the scene? The thing looked like it was 30 blocks, it was just burning. And he's talking about, this is all fake news and nobody would have known. knew it before did it, but never knew it to this extent. never knew it to this extent. It is corrupt. It's fake and they shouldn't be allowed to do it. They shouldn't be allowed. These are far left lunatics that Biden selects to staff his government. There are policies Biden's pledged to apply nationwide. You're going to have the suburbs, they have plan. It doesn't matter, it's regulation, very horrible regulation for the ... Does anybody live in the suburbs? Because if you don't vote for Trump in the suburbs, okay.Speaker 3: (51:38)[inaudible 00:51:38] Valley loves you!Donald Trump: (51:42)Women that live in the suburbs. They say, "Oh, they don't like Donald Trump." said, "I think they do." Remember last time, remember it's the same thing. No, it's the same thing. Remember, last time, four years ago, "Donald Trump will not do well with women." said, "Why am so bad? Donald Trump will not ..." And then the votes started coming in. "He's doing very well, Jim, with women, don't know what's going on." We did very well with women. We did well with everybody, we did well with everybody. But they have regulation. And Ben Carson was fantastic, the head of HUD. said, "Ben, they're going to destroy the suburbs." And they wanted Corey Booker to head that program. But the program was already doing damage. They were playing with the zoning so they could build projects in the suburb, projects in the suburbs. And said, "We're going to end it." Somebody said, "Sir, let's just amend it." said, "Nope, we got to end it. End it, want to end it. don't want to have lesser version."Donald Trump: (52:46)But if he gets in, they will open up that whole program. They're going to open it up on steroids. They're going to open it up to level that you wouldn't have believed possible. And he will drive you out of the suburbs. He will drive you out of the ... he'll drive you out of everything. They're open up their ... call it the suburban destruction program because that's what they've done. And it's been horrible program. It's been very unfair to people with the American dream. And let me just tell you something. 30% of the people that live in the suburbs are minorities. They're Hispanic, they're Black, they're Asian, it's the American dream. And they want the American dream and they don't want that to happen. That's why I'm doing so well with African American, with Asian American, with Hispanic American and with women. But don't let them ruin the suburbs because they will put that regulation back immediately, immediately. And don't let them ruin the suburbs because the suburbs are special place. The suburbs are the American dream.Donald Trump: (53:51)That's where everyone aspires to and that includes minorities and everybody. Don't let them ruin the suburbs. And with that comes tremendous crime. And was talking the other day, "Darling, somebody just moved next door. Who is it? It's representative of Antifa." She will look at her husband, say, "Darling, we're out of here. We're out of here." Antifa. Remember they were trying to blame other people. They don't like to mention the name Antifa. said, it's Antifa and was right. was right. They're bad people. And you know what, they have to pay price for the damage and for the horror that they've caused, they have to pay price. And it's so easy. It's so easy. lot of them now are wealthy. They're like these wealthy, spoiled kids that have no clue about life.Donald Trump: (54:44)They've got arms that are about this big but they were heavy jackets with lots ... and you look and you say, "Oh, that guy looks tough." And then the jacket comes off and you see these two little ... And they go home and they live in basement too, their mom and dad's basement. But Biden's plan is to appease domestic terrorists and my plan is to arrest domestic terrorists. Joe Biden is weak person. He does whatever his left wing, puppet masters demand, you know that. Look, Joe doesn't know what's going on, you know that. mean, let's be nice about it, okay. And I'm being nice when say it. He'll never be able to protect your family, your loved ones or your community. If Biden's elected his radical supporters won't just cause mayhem on the streets like you're seeing, all Democrats. We could solve it so fast. Chicago, few weekends, think of it, 72 people shot, this is shot. Somebody said, "You mean with bullets?" said, "Yeah, with bullets." 18 people died. Now we're pulling our troops out of Afghanistan, out of Iraq, you see what's happening.Donald Trump: (55:56)But let me tell you but we don't ... there's nothing like that over there. They don't have 18 people killed or 12 people in short period of time. Well, you have 70 people shot, where you have another weekend where they had, think few weekends ago, 38 people have been shot in Chicago. said, 38? It's not even believable. And now when these people say it, they make it ... they try and play it down. And you're sitting there, said, "Did just see 38 people were shot?" It's just terrible thing. And it could all be stopped. It could all be stopped so quickly. But they have to respect law and they have to have order. Law and order.Donald Trump: (56:37)But these radical lefts will be running the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security and the United States Supreme Court. And you see what's going on there. If we don't ... The next president, hopefully it's going to be us, not me, us, but the next president is going to have one, two, three or four Supreme Court justice. It's just, you know, just that time, right? Just that time, going to be minimum of one, would say, but it will be one, two, three or four. And that's going to change the whole makeup of the Supreme Court. That's going to take away your guns. That's going to destroy your second amendment. That's going to change the whole rationale thinking on so many different subjects like you wouldn't believe, including by the way, life, okay. Life, pro-life, anybody pro-life here? No, this is going to change the makeup of this country for 50 years. don't know that the country will survive 50 years, if that happens, it might not survive five years if that happens. But the next president and you saw, put out list of an additional number of very conservative, highly thought of, highly respected judges. And they are the only people that will pick. Meaning the first list, the second list, it's about 44, 45 people. They are the only people that will consider for the Supreme Court of the United States. And I'm asking Joe Biden to do the same thing, but he can't because he's got bunch of radical left maniacs that they want to put on the court. And nobody can get elected, not even with Democrats, rational Democrats, will they vote for some of these people to be on.Donald Trump: (58:24)So far he's refused to do it. I'm probably forcing him tonight to do something, but he should put out list of his judges so that you know where you stand. Biden supports cutting police funding, you know that, abolishing ... and by the way, did you see, we just got Chicago police today endorsed Trump. That's not easy to do. Chicago. New York's finest, New York's finest endorse, Florida, Ohio, Texas. We have everybody. Is there police officer in the country, if there is, they'll do commercial. This officer loves sleepy Joe Biden, he's so tough on crime. So Biden's been going down very rapidly in the polls. And now what he's doing is he's playing tough guy, that he's tough on crime. And all of sudden, he goes from demolished, demolish and defund, okay? But he goes from, let's not give the police any money. Let's not even say defund for him. His people want to defund the police. They actually have places, Seattle, they actually don't want to have police. Minneapolis, they don't want to have police. They don't want to have police. What's going to happen?Donald Trump: (59:37)You saw the commercial we put up. woman's being murdered. "I'm sorry. We cannot take your call right now. We will call you back within the next 24 hours." woman's being raped, right? "I'm sorry. We could not respond right now because we have been defunded, but we will try getting there within the next week." This is what you're going to have. mean, that was strong commercial. It had big impact, but this is what you're buying with guy like this. This guy you're going to have Portland's all over this country. And we can't allow that to happen. "Not here," he says, "Not here in Nevada." Well with your governor, it could happen here too, can tell. They want to abolish bail. So they want to abolish cash bail like they did in New York. They release people, the horrible criminals in New York, they release them, no cash bail. And he calls law enforcement, Biden called law enforcement the enemy. They're not the enemy. They're our friends. They're our great friends.Donald Trump: (01:00:39)And without them, we wouldn't be here. Here in Nevada rioters burned the city hall in Reno. Does anybody know that? Do you know that? That's not pleasant sight. How did you allow that to happen? would've thought you people would've gotten out there, like, "You're not going to burn our city hall." And during the violent demonstrations in Las Vegas 29- year-old police officer, you know about this, was deliberately shot in the head while he was doing his job, vicious criminal left, he was left person, left. He was real left, all right. And the, the young officer as you know, he's young, brilliant, young guy and he's totally paralyzed. Unlike Biden, while I'm President of the United States, will always stand with the heroes of our law enforcement. And on November 3rd, you will save America. You're talking about saving America. We cannot let this happen to our country. Because don't know if you can ever come back from what will happen, including our Supreme Court.Donald Trump: (01:01:44)We're joined tonight by our terrific Republican congressional nominee, who has my complete and total endorsement. Jim, where you Jim? Jim Marchant, Jim Marchant, where are you? lot of people out there, Jim, it's not easy. Are you doing well? just looked at very solid poll. Jim Marchant is great guy and hopefully he's going to win and you're going to carry them over and you need it, you need it. Thank you, Jim. And also to man that should have been governor. He should have been governor, what happened? don't know what happened. Nevada Attorney General, he's great guy, Adam Laxalt. And he's watching very closely. And I'll tell you, Adam, please, he's great lawyer, great talent. And he's going places but you have to watch. He just said, our next governor. believe that's true. You have my endorsement, but will tell you this, Adam, if you could, because you're doing fantastic job watching, watch all these votes coming in on the ballots, the unsolicited ballots. Will you watch it, please? Okay, all right.Donald Trump: (01:03:02)All right, James Settelmeyer. Where's James? James, look at James, whoa. Look at the size of James, want you protecting me, James. James is good. You're doing well, saw good poll for you too. think we're all doing well. think we're all doing well, it's like family. Thank you James very much. All of you guys, thank you very much. woman who did fantastic job, she headed up Michigan. We won Michigan, the first time in decades, Republicans won. She was horrendous, she kept calling me, "Sir, one more speech, please come over. Okay, I'll do one more, Ronna, Ronna McDaniel. I'll do one more, Ronna, one more." do the speech, two days later, get call. "One more, sir. We need one more." But we ended up winning Michigan, first time in decades. Ronna McDaniel, Ronna. She was great.Donald Trump: (01:03:52)And said when won, said, "Well, who are we going to put at the RNC?" That's Republican National Committee, who we're going to put? And said, " How about that woman that ran ..." She was so tough. said, "How about the woman that ran Michigan that we won, first time in so many years?" So thank you, Ronna, great job you're doing, we appreciate it. And another man is doing fantastic job, who's been friend of mine for long time, your GOP chair, Michael McDonald. Michael, great job, Michael. Thank you, Michael. Thank you, Mike. How are we doing, Michael? Are we leading, hope? Okay. hear we're doing well. Be careful of the ballots, that's the only way we're going to lose. Can't have this happen to our country.Donald Trump: (01:04:45)And also here are several really great members of terrific association and they like Trump lot, the Nevada Trucking Association. Where are they, Nevada Trucking? Nevada Trucking, thank you, thank you. Thank you, fellas, thank you very much. Great job, we appreciate it very much. Those roads are going to get very nice. They're already starting. Tonight our hearts are with all of the communities in the West battling devastating wildfires. I'm going there the day after tomorrow. I'm staying in your state tonight, but I'm going to be going to California. Spoke to the folks in Oregon, Washington, they never had anything like this, but it is about forest management. Please remember the words, very simple, forest management, please remember. It's about forest management and other things but forest management.Donald Trump: (01:05:41)My administration is closely coordinating with state and local leaders and we want to thank the more than 200,000 people that are working on it and 28,000 firefighters and first responders who courageously and bravely are fighting out there. They are fighting and it's dangerous, it's dangerous. It's rapidly spreading, hundreds of thousands of acres, it's not been anything quite like this one. We spent the last four years reversing the horrible damage Joe Biden inflicted over the past 47 years. Think of it, he's been there 47 years. And he always says, "Well, why didn't you do this? Why did ..." The guy just really in all fairness, I've been here three and half years. So it's not like they haven't been here. He was vice president for eight years and he only did one thing good. He treated Obama good. was going to say something else, but they would have scolded me.Speaker 4: (01:06:33)Kissed his ass.Donald Trump: (01:06:35)That's exactly what was going to say, but didn't. It's better than you say it. Do you want to shout it out? Go ahead, shout.Speaker 4: (01:06:42)He kissed his ass.Donald Trump: (01:06:43)That's what said, that's what was ... thank you very ... This can only happen in Nevada. And we pass record tax cuts and regulation cuts to keep the family farms and ranches in the family. Nobody even knows this. We virtually eliminated the unfair estate tax, also known as the death tax. Does anyone have small farm, medium-sized farm or business? Anybody? If you want to leave it to your children, you don't have to pay tax now because of Trump. always say it and mean it, if you like your children, it's great. If you don't like your children, it doesn't mean damn thing, don't leave it to them. ended the administrations ... and if you look at that last administration, what they were doing on American energy, what they were doing, and now we are the world's number one energy producer by far and we are energy independent.Donald Trump: (01:07:41)How about your gas prices? That's not too bad, right? You didn't think you'd ever see those prices, those under two dollar prices, did you? Thank you President Trump, appreciate it, sir. Biden has pledged to abolish the production of American oil and shale and clean coal and natural gas, and he wants to ban fracking, right? So he's in these debates with the other people and they're just eating him alive. He did his best debate against crazy Bernie and got to ask, why did he get better, all of sudden? What happened? Why, do you have any idea why? think know. Why did he get better all of sudden? But he did his last event, but he was so bad. And he raised his hand, no fracking. "There will be no fracking under my administration," he said. And you know why add the word, he said, because they will take what said and they will put it as commercial. There will be no fracking under my administration, they'll have me saying that. That's how dishonest these people are.Donald Trump: (01:08:38)So always have to add something because ... but even then sometimes they'll cut it off at the end. But he said, there'll be no fracking under my administration. Now, all of sudden he goes to Pennsylvania and his polls aren't looking very good because they do big fracking. And he goes to Texas and he goes to Oklahoma and he goes to North Dakota and he goes to all these places. It's not looking so good. All of sudden he says, "I have nothing against fracking. What are you talking about?" But always follow their first instinct because the first instinct is what is going to happen. And he has to, because he signed ... he has manifesto. call it the manifesto with Bernie and AOC plus three, all these crazy people. And it's manifesto and it reads far worse than anything Bernie Sanders ever said. thought he'd take what Bernie did and move them somewhat to the right. No, he took what Bernie said and they moved way further left. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. But follow the original statements because that's what's going to happen.Donald Trump: (01:09:38)Whether it's on religion or on guns or on fracking or on energy or anything, that's what's going to happen. California has already implemented this extreme agenda and they are experiencing massive blackouts, you know that, California. They like wind, they like wind. "Oh, darling, let's watch television. I'm sorry, darling. The wind, the wind isn't blowing tonight we can't watch television. But want to watch President Trump, he's on television. want to watch him. Darling, how many times do have to tell you? The wind is not blowing tonight." And the government came and turned off all the windmills because they're killing all our bald eagles and all our birds. It's unbelievable. You want to see bird cemetery walk under windmill sometime. They pile up. Honestly, it's terrible. Then the environmentalists will say, oh, that's so wonderful. You know what, when they talk about fumes, when they talk about going up, the carbon, going up, take look where they're made. They're made in China and they're made in Germany. They spew more crap into the air than anything. You can run those things for 15 years and they'll never make up the difference. But here's what happens, after certain number of years, they wear out. And did you ever see windmill when it's shot, like Joe, what happens? No, you know what happens to it. It starts to rust, they don't paint it. The maintenance gets bad and then they just turn it off. Take look at California where they have windmills that have been ... that are old. And nobody wants to take them down because it's not lot of profit in taking them down. So they're sitting there all rotten and rusty, it's terrible. And then hear the environmentalists love them. We got to talk to the environmentalists [inaudible 01:11:26].Donald Trump: (01:11:28)And they cannot ... you know solar, like solar, but solar is very expensive and it doesn't have the power to fire up our massive plants. We have big plants, including in this great state and you can't fire them up with this stuff. You can't fire it. We need the strength because we're competing against lot of nations and they don't go through what we do. They don't care about the air and they should, and they should, which is another problem. took you out of that crazy Paris Climate Accord, because it was totally disaster. No, it was way of hurting the United States. tell you, we would have had close 20, 25% of our factories in order to even ... it was so crazy, so expensive but took you out. was surprised people, most people, they appreciate what did. Because you think it was easy doing that? It was actually, thought it would be devastating. got one day of bad press, after that, everybody forgot about it. It wasn't that bad. But did the right thing for our country and we want to have our great plants working. We want to have our great plants fired up.Speaker 5: (01:12:29)Four more years!Donald Trump: (01:12:31)They said manufacturing jobs are dead, right? Sleepy Joe said, "I'm going to bring back manufacturing." Really? Well, Obama said, you'd need miracle to bring back manufacturing. brought back 650,000 jobs. He said you'd need miracle. And now sleepy Joe is saying that, no, no, no. I've got to bring back ... He's not going to bring back anything. made history by signing an executive order making the official policy of the United States government to buy American and to hire American. Now did this long time ago. And then see sign in front of Joe right here, right here, it said, buy American. Oh great, Joe, thanks, Joe. Where have you been for 47 years? Because for 47 years, Joe Biden did the opposite. He crushed the dreams of American workers and enriched foreign countries. That's how China happened. Hey, look what I've done. I've taken billions, tens of billions of dollars out of China. Nobody else did it before me, mean, no other president. In all fairness, in all fairness to Obama and Biden, call him, Obiden because it's easier, Obiden.Donald Trump: (01:13:41)In all fairness to Obiden, mean, they didn't do any of that. But now see buy American. Hey, he also copied on the pandemic. Did you see he copied everything was doing? Except one thing, he wouldn't have closed the country to China so hundreds of thousands of people would have died from that. But two months, two and half months later, he admitted that was right. Thank you very much, Joe, appreciate it. And yesterday he made, think he made mistake. Well, what do you think, the USMCA, what's better that or NAFTA? Well, no, the USMCA is better. Was that Jake Tapper? like Jake Tapper, was that ... don't think he was doing ... don't think he likes me too much, but that's okay. They said what's better, they said, what's better. He goes, "USMCA. Well, that's the deal that Trump made. Oh, it is? Oh."Donald Trump: (01:14:34)That's great deal we made. We took the horrible NAFTA deal. We got rid of the NAFTA. We got rid of TPP. We got rid of that terrible, terrible South Korea deal, which Hillary Clinton said, will produce 250,000 jobs. She said, this will produce 200 ... she made it. Hillary, crooked Hillary. She made it, no wait, she said it's going to produce 250,000 jobs. And she was 100% right, it produced 250,000 jobs for South Korea, not for us.Donald Trump: (01:15:03)It produced 250,000 jobs for South Korea. Not for us. South Korea did very well with that deal, but changed that deal lot. That's now good deal. Earlier this year, kept my promise to American workers. When we ended the NAFTA nightmare and signed the brand new USMCA Mexico-Canada Agreement into law.Donald Trump: (01:15:21)You're not going to see companies leaving for Mexico very much anymore. They're not going to be leaving your community, going to Mexico, making product, selling the product back in, not being taxed at the border. Doesn't work that way anymore.Donald Trump: (01:15:35)It's probably the biggest reason ran for president if you want to know that... and these stupid, endless wars. saved the Uni-... but that's one of the reasons Washington doesn't like me. They love those endless wars. You got to ask them, "Why?" Do you ever watch where they're very critical of me.Donald Trump: (01:15:51)I mean, "We don't like him on foreign policy." Really? Look what I've done. Look what I've done. Israel... We're signing deals all over the place. These guys that are lecturing all the time, they don't have clue. They're clueless. They were clueless. That's why for 40 years you got nothing except blood in the sand. That's all you got. Blood in the sand.Donald Trump: (01:16:11)I saved the US auto industry by withdrawing from last administration's job-killing Trans-Pacific Partnership. took the toughest ever action to stand up to China's rampant theft of American jobs. They don't like me too much. Joe Biden's agenda is, "Made in China". My agenda is, "Made in the USA". That's the way.Donald Trump: (01:16:37)For the last four years, I've been delivering for our incredible Hispanic... love Hispanic community. Oh, there was poll today. Did you see it? Did you see the poll? Oh, this was biggie. They had poll today that with the Hispanic voter, they call them Latino, Hispanic. They use different terms. To me, just loved the people. don't care, but let me just... Did you see it?Donald Trump: (01:17:05)Trump is leading Biden with the Hispanic community. Trump is leading Biden. Well, Hispanics like tough people. They like people that are going to produce jobs. They like... And by the way, the Hispanics understand the border better than anybody else. They're better than anybody else. No, but we're being... you know, it's unusual that Republican would be leading Democrat, not... it's habit. You know what the problem is, it's habit. But the Hispanics get it.Donald Trump: (01:17:45)And we're leading with the Hispanic community. And that's because you had the lowest job numbers in the history of our country. You had the best home ownership. Every statistic was the best. And now we're doing it again, except we're doing it very rapidly. Remember 8.4%. We could have been at 44%, if stupid people ran it, 8.4%.Donald Trump: (01:18:08)I'm fighting for school choice, safe neighborhoods, low taxes and regulations on Hispanic-owned, small businesses. We're fighting. You know, the Hispanic-owned, small businesses, they're great business people. know it from being in business. They were very tough. They were great business people and they get it. They get it like very few people get it. I'm also standing up for religious liberty.Donald Trump: (01:18:33)Joe Biden would be... So Joe Biden would be disaster for all communities, not just the Hispanic communities, pledged to wage attacks on Catholic organizations, like the Little Sisters of the Poor that we're helping. And we're winning with them. We're helping them. They got hit so hard by Oh Biden. They got hit so hard. remember them in the Supreme Court, the Little Sisters of the Poor. They get hit by Biden. And then he says, "How wonderful." He's such wonderful person. He supports taxpayer-funded, extreme, late-term abortion. And mean, ninth month, ninth month, ninth month.Donald Trump: (01:19:22)And he'd allow violent mobs to burn down your business. And he would hand your country over to the socialists. But believe it's worse than socialists. do. think it's step worse than socialist. And it starts with C. That is why we're going to win record share of the Hispanic vote in November. So important. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.Donald Trump: (01:19:48)It's so important. We're bringing it back very fast. think next year is... Next year, believe will be as good or better than the year we had last year. Unless somebody comes in and decides to quadruple your taxes, then can't. Then all bets are off, but we're going to have... We're lowering taxes. He's raising taxes. We're going to have tremendous growth.Donald Trump: (01:20:10)Joe Biden's party continues to attack our incredible border agents. They're incredible people, more than half of whom happen to be Hispanic-Americans. Did you know that? know all of them. "Jose, how you doing?" "Juan, how you doing?" Every sixth time, I'd say, "Hello, Jim, how are you?" These extraordinary patriots deserve our admiration, gratitude and respect, not Joe Biden's contempt. He's got contempt for these people that are so great and brave.Donald Trump: (01:20:42)That's tough job. My administration's achieved the most secure border in American history. We ended the catch and release disaster. Remember you'd catch somebody, "What's your name?" "I don't know." "What's your address?" "I don't know." "Okay. Go into our country. That's okay." You couldn't arrest anybody. We ended it, stopped asylum fraud and we've deported over 20,000 gang members, including MS13 and over half million criminal illegal aliens.Donald Trump: (01:21:11)Now think about it. Think of that number. Think if you at half million people spread throughout the country that were criminal, illegal aliens. Some of these are very violent people and we get them the hell out. We're stopping human trafficking, protecting the victims, most of whom are women, most of whom are women. Human trafficking because of the internet that's tremendously big and horrible business. These are the worst human beings of all.Donald Trump: (01:21:40)But most of the victims are women, children to much lesser extent, but women and human traffickers. And you know what made it that way is the internet. Who would think? It almost sounds like an ancient crime. It's not. It's very modern because of the internet because of the computer. And it's horrible thing and we've stopped so much of it. We have an incredible group of people that go after these animals.Donald Trump: (01:22:05)And we built now over 320 miles of border wall and are adding 10 new miles week. And the wall will very soon be finished. It'll be finished. We've invested $2.5 trillion in the US military. We've rebuilt our depleted... It was depleted military. Now we have the newest, we have the best we've ever had and launched the first new branch of the United States Armed Forces in nearly 75 years, the US Space Force.Donald Trump: (01:22:41)And we did things that people said couldn't be done. After 52 years, we passed VA Choice in VA Accountability and 91% of our veterans now approve of their VA care. They think it's doing great. The fact is did more in 47 months as president than Joe Biden did in 47 years. It's true. It's true. withdrew from last administration's disastrous Iran nuclear deal. We killed the founder and leader of ISIS, al-Baghdadi.Donald Trump: (01:23:20)We eliminated the world's number one terrorist and mass murderer of American troops, Qasem Soleimani. He's dead. He's gone. Biden voted for the Iraq War. He opposed the mission to take out Osama bin Laden. He opposed killing Soleimani. He oversaw the rise of ISIS and he cheered the rise of China as very positive development. Oh, really? Tell me about it. Tell me about it. Not too positive.Donald Trump: (01:23:48)Joe Biden has been on the wrong side of history for 47 years. In fact, the secretary of state, secretary of defense said about him, "He's never called it right. He never called it right." If we had listened to Joe, hundreds of thousands more Americans would right now have died. When the virus arrived, we launched the largest national mobilization since World War II. You know that, especially with ventilators and equipment and masks and shields.Donald Trump: (01:24:18)We're delivering life-saving therapies that have achieved among the lowest case fatality rates of any major country in the world. And you don't hear that from the fake news. Europe's excess mortality rate is 24% higher. And these are statistics that come from people that do this stuff, right? This is not done by my secretary. 24% higher than the United States and despite their punitive lockdowns, they're once again seeing spike.Donald Trump: (01:24:47)They're seeing big spike in cases over there. They did the heavy lockdowns, just like you're doing right here. And they're seeing spike. And there's no reason for that. The United States has experienced the smallest contraction of any major Western nation. Think of that. And by far, the fastest recovery.Donald Trump: (01:25:09)And if they wrote about it properly, it would be proper thing, proper thing to do. Through our historic relief programs, we've saved more than half trillion Nevada cops and jobs and all of this yet. So many people going out. We've saved 42,000 Nevada businesses. Think of that.Donald Trump: (01:25:26)Biden would terminate this comeback. He wants to end it. He would terminate this comeback. He would put your families in danger. He will totally destroy Social Security. And in my opinion, if you look at what he's going to do to Medicare, they will destroy Social Security. They will. You called it. You know what you're talking about? Exactly, right.Donald Trump: (01:25:49)He's going to massively raise your taxes. Reimpose crippling federal regulations, destroy your Social Security and destroy protections for pre-existing conditions. He's going to destroy that and decimate your 401ks and retirement savings and stocks. Your stocks are going to go down like you never saw anything go down before. He'll obliterate your Second Amendment. He'll give you... And he would, he would give free... He wants to give free healthcare to illegal aliens that will bankrupt Medicare.Donald Trump: (01:26:21)He wants to give... You saw him raise his hand. Remember the debate where they're all standing there and he looked around, "Who's going to give free healthcare to illegal aliens?" And everyone's raising hands. He's going, "Oh..." Now take look. I'm not kidding. It's sad. It's pathetic.Donald Trump: (01:26:41)He would end our travel bans on jihadist regions and increase refugee admissions 700%, opening the flood gates to terror-afflicted nations. You understand that. He'll establish national sanctuary city policy for criminal, illegal aliens. He loves sanctuary cities, meaning the people that control him love sanctuary cities.Donald Trump: (01:27:02)Biden, pledges to oppose school choice. And he has stated that if he is elected charter schools are "gone". They're gone. In the second term, and we've already started it very heavily, will provide school choice to every parent in America.Donald Trump: (01:27:24)A vote for Republicans is vote for safe communities, great jobs and limitless future for all Americans. Instead of letting Washington change us, despite all that we've been through and we've been through more than any president has ever been through with these characters and they're falling one after another. But you do notice that hope. One after another. Oh, see the phones have been wiped out. wonder what that's all about, but that's criminal thing you did. We are changing Washington. We are changing Washington.Donald Trump: (01:27:55)Never forget that they're coming after me because am fighting for you. And it's true. Over the next four years to conclude, we will make America into the manufacturing superpower of the world. And we will end our reliance on China once and for all.Donald Trump: (01:28:18)We will make our medical supplies right here in the United States. We will rapidly return to full employment, soaring economies and record prosperity, even greater than last year. We will hire more police, increase penalties for assaults on law enforcement, surge federal prosecutors into high crime communities and ban sanctuary cities.Donald Trump: (01:28:48)We will appoint prosecutors, judges, justices, and believe... We will believe in enforcing the law. We want law and order. We have to have it. We will ensure equal justice for citizens of every race, color, religion, and creed. We will defend the dignity of work and the sanctity of life. We will uphold religious liberty, free speech and the right to keep and bear arms.Donald Trump: (01:29:25)We will strike down terrorists who threaten our citizens and we will keep America out of endless foreign wars. And we are bringing our troops home as we speak tonight. We will maintain America's unrivaled military might and we will ensure peace through strength.Donald Trump: (01:29:48)We will end surprise medical billing, require price transparency. It's already signed, starts on January 1st. don't want anyone to... know ours is big deal. don't want Sleepy Joe to take care of... Can you imagine? I'll be watching. "Prices have dropped substantially all throughout the country because of price..." And I'm the one that got it done.Donald Trump: (01:30:11)And he'll say, "What did do? What did do? How did this happen?" And we'll further reduce health insurance premiums and the cost of prescription drugs. We just did favored nations. We're going to come down to the lowest price anywhere in the world because we did favored nations clause. You know what that is? We will... The drug companies don't exactly like me too much. They're spending millions of dollars on negative commercials.Donald Trump: (01:30:35)Please understand when you see those commercials, it means your drug prices are coming down. We will strongly protect Medicaid and Social Security, which they will give up. And we will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions and America will land the first woman on the moon and the United States will be the first nation to land an astronaut on Mars. We will stop the radical indoctrination of our students and restore patriotic education to our schools. And we will teach our children to love our country, honor our history and always respect our great American flag. And we will live by the timeless words of our national motto, "In God We Trust."Donald Trump: (01:31:36)For years, you had president who apologized for America. Now you have president who is standing up for America and standing up for the people of Nevada. So very importantly, get your friends, get your family, get your neighbors, get your coworkers and get out and vote on November 3rd.Donald Trump: (01:32:04)From Carson City to Elko, from Las Vegas to Reno and from Clark County to right here in Douglas County, we stand on the shoulders of red-blooded American patriots who poured out their heart, sweat, and soul to secure our liberty. They want to secure our liberty. Think of it and defend our freedom. Nevada was founded by pioneers and prospectors, miners and cowboys, innovators and trailblazers, tough people, great people who tamed the frontier, raised up the mighty Hoover Dam, lit up the brilliant lights of the Vegas Strip and transformed sprawling desert into shining oasis. So true.Donald Trump: (01:32:52)Our American ancestors made this into the greatest nation ever to exist on the face of the earth. And we are making it greater than it ever has been. We are making it greater than ever before. We are making it greater than it's ever been. Proud citizens like you helped build this country and together we are taking back our country.Donald Trump: (01:33:20)We are returning power to you, the American people. With your help, your devotion and your drive, we are going to keep on working. We're going to keep on fighting, and we are going to keep on winning, winning, winning. We are one movement, one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God.Donald Trump: (01:33:47)And together with the incredible people of Nevada, we will make America wealthy 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.Donald Trump: (01:34:15)(silence)

Jacksonville. We love Jacksonville. We love Jacksonville. I'm thrilled to be back in my home state of Florida with thousands of loyal, hardworking American patriots. This is some crowd. just wish the cameras would show the crowd. They don't want to do that. They don't like to do that. It's harder for us to win because we have fake news back there, but somehow we just keep on doing it. Isn't it crazy? Isn't it crazy? It's interesting, when Biden comes to Florida, he'll have 12, 13 people. You know they do the circles and he has hard time filling up the circles. Here, we probably have 30,000 people or something. That's lot of people. That's lot of people.Donald Trump: (12:56)Well, want to thank you. Forty days from now, we're going to win Florida. We're going to win four more years in the White House. And this is the most important election in the history of our country, believe that. It is because we're dealing with people that are crazy. They're going to raise your taxes. They're going to take away your second amendment, you know that. Your second amendment is not going anywhere with me, can tell you that. The Democrat party has been completely taken over by socialists, Marxists and far left extremists. They embrace the policies of Communist Cuba, Socialist Venezuela. They want to end the American dream for Hispanic-Americans. We love Hispanic-Americans well.Donald Trump: (13:55)Did you see, they released poll today? They said Trump's doing really well. What's going on with the Hispanic? It took you so long to figure out that love you. How long did it take? No more of that stuff. No, the Hispanic-Americans are great. And they did, they released poll today and nobody's ever seen anything like it. The Republicans are beating the Democrats with Hispanic-Americans. No, we're doing great. We're doing great. And they never like to show those polls. Whenever you see, they don't show too many polls, that's only because we're winning. We're winning by lot. We think we're winning by lot.Donald Trump: (14:41)But the only poll that counts is on November 3rd, right? That's the only poll that counts. So get out there, don't let them bluff you. Whatever it is, get out there and vote. The Republican party is the party of job, safety and freedom and we will ensure that America never becomes Socialist or Communist country. I've added that recently. said, "Socialist country." said, "Now Socialist or Communist country," because these people are crazy. Kamala, Kamala is further left than Bernie. didn't know that. She is the furthest left in the U.S. Senate. She was up at 15% when she started, you know that right, that story? She went down to 14, then she went to 12, then she went to 11. She went to nine and eight, six, four, two, one and then she left before Iowa, the great state of Iowa, where made ethanol possible for them, ethanol.Donald Trump: (15:50)And gave our farmers $28 billion, thank you very much, China. We took it out of China because they were targeting Iowa, Nebraska, lot of our great States, Wisconsin. We gave our farmers lot of money. Some came down to farmers down in Florida. They don't know that. We've got lot of farmers in Florida. But here's the choice facing every Florida vote, Joe Biden will deliver crippling shutdown. He's actually thinking about... No, we did that and we saved millions of lives. That's it? We're doing good now. And by the way, your governor's done great job. Florida is down, low down with the China virus, it's China virus. Some people call it coronavirus. That sounds like beautiful place in Italy, right? No, it didn't come from Italy. It came from China.Donald Trump: (16:40)But this guy's talking, he'll shut it down. If the scientists say shut it down, he'll shut it down. No, we're not shutting anything down. We are doing so well. You look at our numbers. Wait until you see the third quarter. shouldn't say it because back there, but wait until you see how good the third quarter is going to be, and it comes out just before the election, so I'm taking risk when say it. You won't believe the numbers you say. tell you, you're going to see numbers, nobody's going to believe those numbers. We're hearing from 25 to 35% GDP. Nobody's ever heard of that. Well, Iran has 25% GDP too, but it's negative GDP of 25. They just announced negative 25.Donald Trump: (17:26)They don't like me too much. Be careful. Be careful. I'm delivering safe vaccine and we're doing record recovery. This recovery is record. They've never seen anything like it. And next year is going to be, think, the best economic year in the history of our country, unless very sleepy guy got in and he decided to quadruple everybody taxes. Then you can forget it. He's sleepy guy. Did you see he did lid this morning? Again, lid, lid. You know what lid is? lid is when you put out word you're not going to be campaigning today. So he does the lid all the time. I'm working my ass off. I'm in Texas. I'm in Ohio. I'm in North Carolina, South Carolina. I'm in Michigan. I'm all over the place, Wisconsin.Crowd: (18:22)Four more years.Donald Trump: (18:32)Thank you, thank you. But he puts lid on. So lid, didn't know what the hell lid was. I've only been doing this for three and half years. Right? But lid is you're not going to go out today. You're going to stay in your apartment, or let's put it this way, in his basement. So early in the morning, he's put lid on. That means nothing for the... guess they do that for the press. The fake news goes home and they say how great he is as candidate. They go home and they say, "He's great candidate," but he put another lid, many lids. So he did lid today, early in the morning, that he won't be working today. And don't know, I'm working so hard. Maybe he's right. Think of it. Supposing he never campaigns and he wins. You know how badly I'm going to feel? I'm working hard and you've got to work hard. And you know what? said it today, we cannot have low energy individual as our president. We can't.Donald Trump: (19:27)And he's the lowest energy individual I've ever seen. I've ever seen. So we'll see what happens, but he's lidding up. Maybe he's going to be great at the debate. He's been doing it for 47 years. Somebody said, "Oh, he won't do well at the debate." said, "I think you're wrong. He'll do fine. He's going to do fine." They'll give him big shot or something and he'll go out there. He'll have lot of energy. He'll have energy. He'll be like Superman for about 15 minutes. Biden's plan will crush Florida. My plan will crush the virus and we're doing it. We're rounding the third. We're rounding the turn. Under my leadership, prosperity will surge. Normal life, oh love normal life. We want to get back to normal life. We'll fully resume. The Florida tourism and hospitality industries will reach record highs. That's what's going to happen, you see it. And next year will be one of the greatest years.Donald Trump: (20:22)We are going to have... I'm telling you, mark it down and if I'm wrong, you'll say was wrong. I'll say, "Sorry about that." But we're going to have great year. We're going to have great everything. Our country is doing great. Our military has never been stronger. We've taken out so many bad ones. Hopefully it's so strong that we'll never have to use it. You understand that? You'll want to make it so strong. We've never had weapons like this. No country in the world ever possessed the power, the weaponry. What we have is so incredible. Nobody's ever possessed it before, not Russia, not China, not anybody. We're the envy of the world.Donald Trump: (21:03)Russia, not China, not anybody, we're the envy of the world. Hope to God, we never have to use them. That's all can tell you. This election is about jobs. By the way, speaking of jobs, it's all made in the USA everything we have.Donald Trump: (21:14)This election is also about law and order. You know, they said, "Oh, don't say law and order. That's too tough term." They say, "Sir, say law and order very lightly." Then say, " And safety and liberty and this." said, "No, no, it's about law and order." We have to have law and order, right?Donald Trump: (21:40)These Democrat run states are disaster. They're disaster. You look at what's happening all over the country and many of them, look at Portland. How bad is that? mean, how bad is that? will say last night in Kentucky, spoke to the governor. He's Democrat. We had great talk and he pulled out his national guard, and he's doing it good. gave him credit. give him credit, but mostly they don't want to do that. say, "Let us send the national guard." did it in, you remember? Minnesota. We're going to win Minnesota.Donald Trump: (22:12)So, did it in Minneapolis. Minnesota, they were having hard time. It took little long, little longer than we wanted, but we got the okay to get in. We solved that problem in about 25 minutes, think it took. They formed line. That was the hard part. The easy part was just walking straight ahead. They never flinched. They were not socially distanced. They were right next to each other. They had $250,000 piece uniforms. They had more stuff in their head.Donald Trump: (22:40)I'm trying to figure out what is it. They had computers. They had infrared goggles. They had everything. They walk forward with their canisters of tear gas and pepper spray. It was, remembered the CNN reporter? He went down. He got hit on the knee with can of, what? Yeah, that's right, he got hit. He said, "I'm down. I'm down." He was down. Still bad. felt badly for him though. He went down, Ali Velshi. Remember, he was standing and he was saying, "This is friendly protest. It's wonderful to see the lovely people that are here." He's ducking and behind him, the entire city was burning down. Do you remember that? The entire city. Why are they doing that? What's the purpose of it? don't get it. don't get it. But no, he got hit on the knee with canister of tear gas. They say it hurts, hurts.Crowd: (23:34)Follow the money.Donald Trump: (23:37)That's only going 52 miles an hour. bullet goes about 2,000 miles an hour, but they say it hurts. But they cleaned out that city in half an hour. They had no problem. Minneapolis, that's one of the reasons I'm going to win. Another reason would be Ilhan Omar. That's reason. Omar, we're going to win because of Omar. That's beauty. That's really, she's great. She's great. She loves our country very much. She has total disrespect for our country, and think she has hatred for our country, but would say Omar is big reason that we're going to win. They're not too fond of her in Minnesota. I'll always fight for the right of all citizens to live in security and peace, so we have law and order.Donald Trump: (24:24)Joe Biden is weak as hell. He surrendered his party to flag burners, riders and anti- police radicals, the Democrat party's war on police. lot of people say cops, never liked the word. My father, sit down, please. Come on, won't be here for awhile. What the hell. [inaudible 00:24:42] We have nothing else to do. have nothing else to do except run country. The hardest part about running the country is dealing with crazy Democrats. We're working on stimulus for people, because it's not their fault. It was China's fault that we can't get Nancy Pelosi to approve it. She wants to wait until after the election. said, "People want their money now. Not going to have any impact from that standpoint, people want their money now."Donald Trump: (25:16)The Democrat party's war on cops is putting the lives of innocent police officers in danger, but my father had great respect, always had great respect for law enforcement, for the police. One time, said, "Dad, the cops are out there. Look at that, they look great." He says, "Never use the word cops. It's police." That's the kind of respect he had. He thought, don't want to, you know? Right. Look, have this couple of pretty rough looking guy. No, it's true. So, always find it little hard.Donald Trump: (25:45)I just left an impression, this police. He thought it was slang. don't think they mind. don't think ... How many? We got lot of them here. Does anybody mind the term cops? Who's here that's police man or woman, policeman? Do they mind? lot of them. lot of them. Do they mind that term cops? No. They just want respect and they just want to be allowed to do their job properly as nobody can do it. You agree with that? That's what say. All right. Now start calling them cops. Respect us and let us do our job.Donald Trump: (26:24)Earlier this month, two sheriff's deputies were ambushed at close range in Los Angeles, California. called them both and they're okay, but they were hit. They were hit bad. Last night, as you know, two police officers were shot in Louisville, Kentucky. Every year, dozens of courageous police officers lay down their lives for people that they never met, people that they don't know, people they never saw in most cases, right? They laid down their lives for people they never met. They're incredible. Law enforcement, let's give them hand, please.Crowd: (27:21)Red and blue! Red and blue! Red and blue! Red and blue! Red and blue! Red and blue!Donald Trump: (27:21)Thank you very much. That's good. tell them all the time, we have endorsements from all of them, but tell them all the time, you have no idea how much you're loved. They don't hear it because they watch the fake news at night, and you don't get the truth. So, that's lot of people back there. That's lot of fakers back. Look at all those red lights. The red light means you're on live. The problem with being on live, you make little bit of mistake and they say, "This was horrible evening."Crowd: (28:02)Hear our voice! Hear our voice! Hear our voice! Hear our voice! Hear our voice! Hear our voice! USA! USA! USA! USA!Donald Trump: (28:12)All right. Thank you. That's enough. That's enough of it. No, it's very dishonest. It's shame. Really does hurt our country. It's so fake. They don't show the protesters. They don't show it. When you think that like cities are burning down and storefronts are being exploded, people are being killed, they would have you believe there's nothing happening. It's the most incredible thing. don't even understand why. No matter what your philosophy is, no matter where you stand, why wouldn't you want to show the facts, show what's happening? Then we fix it.Donald Trump: (28:41)The Republican cities don't have trouble. The Republican states, they don't have trouble. You go to different states, they don't know ... They find it, some of these governors, friends of mine, and have friends on both sides, but Republican governors, red states, they look like, how is thing like this possible? Because they have law and order. They have law and order for this. That's what it is.Donald Trump: (29:04)For the entire summer, Joe Biden was silent as his far left supporters assaulted police officers, harassed innocent Americans and set fire to buildings. There were rioters. There were looters. They were anarchists. He called them peaceful protesters. He said they're peaceful protesters. Joe, they're not peaceful. Now, maybe he may believe it. mean, honestly, they may say they're peaceful. Okay, I'll say they're peace. think he believes it. actually do. It's the other ones that you have to worry about, because they call the shots, not him. He's called for the ridiculous cutting of police funding, abolishing cash bail, if you can believe that and the closing of our prisons. They want to close up prisons. That's good idea. He even described law enforcement as the enemy. He said law enforcement is the enemy. Now, assume, I'll ask the fake news. Has he taken it back? assume, because he's taken everything back. He's taken anti-fracking back. He's taken pretty much everything back, but remember, it's the first thing they say that's what they stick with. Biden's anti-police crusade must stop. As president, will always stand with the heroes of law enforcement, that's why we're here.Donald Trump: (30:29)I was honored to receive the endorsement of 48 sheriffs right here in Florida three weeks ago, and all over the country, law enforcement from Texas, Arizona, Ohio, Oklahoma, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York's finest endorsed me. They've never endorsed presidential candidate. The National Troopers Coalition. Chicago, how about that? Chicago police, they endorsed me, Chicago. All the major law enforcement organizations all across our country.Crowd: (31:07)USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!Donald Trump: (31:41)They go back home to mommy. Mommy, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You know the incredible thing about that? didn't hear anything except our crowd. No, they have no voice. They're screaming at the top of their lungs, but their lungs are very small, and didn't hear, all of sudden, you hear wah like this right here. That's true. People, if you wouldn't recognize them, we wouldn't even know they're here. Now tomorrow, the headline is, so you have one young protester, the headline will be tomorrow, Trump's rally broken up by protests. One very young girl, she's girl .... girl, she looks like she's like about ... years old. How the hell has that happened? 200 generals and ... leaders, also hundreds of ... spouses ... given their complete and total endorsement ... to uphold our land and to uphold our .... as written on Saturday ... announcing my nominee to the ... States Supreme Court.Donald Trump: (33:22)It's true. It's going to be big deal. We're doing it at the White House, the Rose garden of the White House unless it's raining. In which case, we'll still do it there. That's okay. It's beautiful, the White House. So beautiful. We love the White House, right outside the Oval Office. They don't want us to do it. The Democrats say, "You shouldn't do it." Why? We have lot of time. Let me ask you the one simple question. If it was them, instead of us, do you think they do it? think so. No, this will be very talented person. It will be woman. I'm sorry, man. It will be woman. All right. Ready?Donald Trump: (34:09)Who wouldn't rather see man? Oh, that's trouble. Try it again. Who would rather see man? That's not good. Who would rather see woman? think it would be, really, think it would take tremendous courage. don't care how great the man is. Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to tell you that Jim Fitzgerald, and then you would see lot of very unhappy faces. Right? My opponent refuses to release his lists of potential justices because they will be handpicked by extremists like Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Sometimes known as AOC plus three, right? AOC. One of the three think is Omar, right? But they'll pick her first.Donald Trump: (35:16)So, if Biden does that, if he puts an extremist in to that position, he loses everything that's like normal. If he does the other way, he loses the left. So, he doesn't want to give left. I'd love to have him put up list. I'd like to see what that, could see what that list would be. could already tell you the people on that list. It would not be good. It would not be pretty. You would not be happy. That would be the end. If given power, Biden and his supporters would pack the court. They're talking about pack into court, because we have one race. We have one. I'll tell you what. So this will be my third and we're in great shape. You see what's going on with the Republican party, how unified the Republican party is? Right. Now we're unified. It's beautiful thing to say. Thank you, Mitt. Thank you. Appreciate it. Even Mitt's on board. Even Mitt's on board.Donald Trump: (36:15)No, it's good thing to see having unified part. Of course, when they did the impeachment hoax, we had 197 to nothing in the house and 52 and half to half. That was Mitt, but that's okay. I'm no longer angry at Mitt, because he's being very nice on the Supreme Court. He's doing the right thing. just want him to do the right thing, but they want to pack the court. You know what that means? They want to put on lot of justices. These are things that are just horrible. guess we could do that too. Right? We could do that too. But remember, it was Harry Reid that made this all possible. They're angry at us. Listen, Chuck, Crying Chuck, you know who Crying Chuck is? Chuck.Donald Trump: (36:56)Every time you complain, remember it was Harry Reid, your person in charge. He had your job before. It was Harry Reid who made this all possible. Thank you very much, Harry. hope you're enjoying your evening. No, they blame us. Harry Reid gave us the power, nuclear ... very much, but he wants to pack the Supreme Court with radicals who will terminate the second amendment, confiscate your firearms, eliminate the right to self defense, strike under God from the pledge of allegiance and all other places, tear down crosses from public spaces and force taxpayers to fund extreme late term abortion.Donald Trump: (37:51)These far left ... violent criminals, shield foreign terrorist, impose sanctuary cities and declare the death penalty totally unconstitution. Hey, it will be totally unconstitutional. They wanted to declare it unconstitutional for even the most depraved mass murderers. And it's tough thing. It's tough thing. They came to my office today and the death penalty for clemency. said, "What was the crime?" The crime was so horrible that won't tell you what it was, but it's been going on for 21 years or so. The crime was so horrible that this person committed, that said, "Look, just can't talk about it." It was so horrible. That's usually the case, usually the case like the Boston bomber.Donald Trump: (38:47)By the way, they want to give votes to prisoners, people in prison. They want to give votes. So we immediately said, remember Bernie? Crazy Bernie. Bernie is, I'll tell you one thing about him. He's the greatest loser I've ever seen. No, true. No, mean that in respectful way, because what they did to him with Hillary was bad, but this time was even worse. Elizabeth Pocahontas Warren would have left the campaign one day before super Tuesday, Bernie with her ideology basically, because she's radical left and she was really fresh to him, but she was really fresh. How bad was Elizabeth Warren to Joe Biden? There's only one person that was worse.Donald Trump: (39:33)Who was worse? Kamala. said he'll never, this shows you my great instinct, my great knowledge of politics. said, "He will never pick Kamala because no human being has been treated worse than anybody than Kamala." Remember, she called him racist. She called him xenophobic. She called him all sorts of things. She called him things that were so bad, can say them. can't say them, but she called him lot of things. said, "Well, she's out." Then he picks her. She picks her. You always pick people going up, not going down in the polls. If were get to pick, and by the way, how good is Mike Pence? Is he great? Okay.Donald Trump: (40:14)He's rock. He's solid guy and he's great guy and great vice president. He worked so hard. He's all over the place. He's in Michigan. He's everywhere. Where you go today, Mike? went to Michigan, North Carolina, South Carolina. went to Wisconsin and the guy, I'll tell you what, he's an incredible guy and he's great guy. He loves the people of this country. He loves our country. You cannot do better than Mike Pence. You know that.Donald Trump: (40:50)If you want to save America, you must get out and vote. In just three and half years, we've secured our borders, rebuilt the awesome power of the US military, obliterated ISIS caliphate 100%, fixed our disastrous trade deals and they were disaster. read some of them. said, "Who agrees to this stuff?" Stupid people agree to it, and brought jobs back home to America. We brought them back. You had the greatest year you've ever had last year, the greatest year you've ever had. Under 16 years of presidents, Obama and Bush, household income rose only $2,945. Okay. That's over course of 16 years, close to 3,000, right? In three years and including energy because look at the saving. How are you doing at the gas pump? Not so bad, right? Did you ever see that? You ever think that was going to happen? In three years, so that was less than 3,000 over 16, in-Donald Trump: (42:03)So that was less than 3,000 over 16. In three years, you went up $10,000, including energy. We lifted 6.6 million people out of poverty, the largest poverty reduction in the first three years of any president in the history of our country. We built the greatest economy in the history of the world. Not only here, anywhere. We were beating everybody.Donald Trump: (42:28)For years, heard that China in 2019, was going to overtake us, right? That didn't happen. Then they released the plague, but that didn't happen. And it still's not happening with the plague, because they got hit hard themselves. wonder if they understood that they were going to get hit too. But the plague came here, they could have stopped it. They could have stopped it from going all over the world. 188 countries all over the world, including Europe and the United States.Donald Trump: (42:55)We've added record 10.6 million jobs in the last four months, including 3.3 million jobs for Hispanic Americans. That's record.Donald Trump: (43:10)When the plague arrived from China. We launched the largest national mobilization since World War Two. We pioneered life saving therapies, reducing the fatality rate 85% since April, you see what's happened. Europe has almost 50% greater excess mortality rate than the United States. And now you see they're being hit very hard. The fake news was saying, "Well, don't know if you've done as well as Europe." said, "We did better than Europe." And now Europe is exploding again, unfortunately, don't want that to happen, but they don't want to talk about that because that's not good for their narrative.Donald Trump: (43:47)Our early and aggressive action saved many millions of lives through Operation Warp Speed, we developed and distribute vaccine. We will have vaccine so soon you won't even believe it. Although they're trying to do little bit of political hit today, just little bit, you notice that? Let's delay the vaccine just little bit. But we have three great companies and then others also. Johnson & Johnson, right? Pfizer, Moderna, great companies, all of them, great companies. And they're right there. They're way advanced, way advanced, they're in the final steps.Donald Trump: (44:24)I took historic action to get critical relief for American workers. Through our paycheck protection program, we save 3.2 million Florida jobs.Donald Trump: (44:38)We're launching historic effort to bring our medical supply chains back home, where they belong. In 1996, Joe Biden voted to obliterate Puerto Rico's thriving pharmaceutical industry. am reversing that and we're going back so that Puerto Rico can get its pharmaceutical industry back, and they're going to have it back soon. That was Joe Biden that did that. And then they'll vote because automatic, they vote for Democrat. What's the purpose? He's the one that did it. He's the one. Look what he did, how devastated, look at what he did to our African-American community. And people don't want to talk about it. But what he did was devastating. Devastating. He's not good for anyone, let's face it.Donald Trump: (45:26)Last week, also announced an additional $13 billion that goes to disaster relief for Puerto Rico. They got hit hard. hope they remember that. That was given by Trump, not by the Democrats. Our hearts are also with the communities in the Panhandle. love the Panhandle. Ron will tell you. I'll tell you. You're great governor and he's doing great job. He called up, he said the Panhandle's hit, sir. They love you in the Pan-, think I'm at about 99. 9% in the Panhandle. But we took care of the Panhandle, you remember Hurricane Sally? That was not good, but we took care of it. Ron came into my office, he'd say, "Sir, we need more money." said, "How much?" He gave me number you don't even want to believe. said, "You got it, Ron. Don't come back, Ron." He comes back about three days later, "Sir, we need more money." But that's guess, good governor. That's what good governor does, right? That's what good governor does. approved major disaster declaration for the State of Florida last night. And we will be with you every step of the way, every step, we're there so fast. We sometimes, other presidents took long time to approve them. approve them before the storms hit shore, because we know what's going to happen. We took care of Florida.Donald Trump: (46:53)On November 3rd, Florida will decide whether we end the pandemic and return to record prosperity, or whether we allow Joe Biden to kill the recovery, delay the vaccine, impose $4 trillion tax hike, ban American energy, which he wants to do, destroy the suburbs. He's going to destroy the suburbs. Give free healthcare to illegal aliens, which means millions and millions of people are going to pour into our country and indoctrinate your children with poisonous anti-American lies in their class, in their school room.Donald Trump: (47:29)To combat the toxic left wing propaganda in our schools, announced something last week that was very popular. That we're launching new pro-American lesson plan for students called 1776 Commission. We'll teach our children the truth about America, that we are the most exceptional nation on the face of the Earth. And you haven't seen anything yet. You see what we're doing. I've also issued an executive order to prohibit the teaching of critical race theory in the federal government.Donald Trump: (48:24)That hateful Marxist doctrine paints America as wicked nation, seeks to divide everyone by race, rewrites American history, and teaches people to be ashamed of themselves and be ashamed of their country. That's not happening anymore. We fired so many of these wise guys. We had one getting $350,000 year teaching our military this stuff. And he said, "What happened?" We said, "You're fired. Get out." Many people.Donald Trump: (48:59)No, it's become cancer. It's like cancer, but many, many people gone. They're all gone. And if they're not, let us know and we'll let them go. But we have to unite together as one proud American family. That's what we are. We're joined tonight by some incredible warriors, some incredible people. One of them that I'm most proud of is man that came to this state and what job he's done. Your great governor, Ron DeSantis. He's doing great job. Ron is doing great job. Ron, how are we doing on the election? How are we doing on November 3rd, Ron? He says, good. We better do good. He won great primary, then he beat man that they said had good future. I'm not thinking his future is looking to good. How's his future. don't think it's to good right now. Ron was great, tough and strong, and he didn't choke under pressure. That's for sure. But much more important than Ron is the First Lady of Florida, Casey DeSantis.Donald Trump: (50:23)The Mayor of Jacksonville, really good guy. got him to really, he wanted to do it so bad. We wanted to have our Republican National Convention right here in Jacksonville. But the timing was little bit bad. We got hit little bit with COVID, as they say, we got hit little bit with the China virus, but I'll tell you what, Lenny Curry was absolutely fantastic. Your mayor, Lenny Curry.Donald Trump: (50:57)All right. You ready? Some of the greatest, toughest warriors you'll ever meet. During the impeachment hoax, they said, this is the biggest pile of crap you've ever seen. I'm the only guy in history that got impeached for an absolutely perfect conversation. It was perfect. We sent it around. Everyone said, "What's wrong with this? We sent it to the Justice Department, please check this. Thank goodness we had people that were taking it down, right? Exact notes, great patriots. They took it down, two of them, and it was perfect. We sent it to the Justice Department. Please examine this conversation. We'd like to know what you think. They called back, they said, "Okay, listen, what exactly are you looking for here?" These guys are used to looking at killings and drug dealers and they're saying, "Explain to us, what are you looking for? We don't see it." This was the greatest hoax.Donald Trump: (51:58)And today, by the way, you see what happened. They caught him. They've got him cold. They got him cold. We'll talk about it in sec. They caught him. They now find out that Trump was hundred percent truthful. It was hoax. They got him cold, it was just announced. Dan Scavino just said, "It's the biggest, it's the hottest thing on the internet." They got him cold. We'll talk about it in second. But these are warriors. When needed warriors, had Representative Matt Gaetz. Where is he?Donald Trump: (52:38)Matt, what great guy. What guy. Big future. Thank you, Matt. What warrior. Thank you. He's very shy on television, right? noticed. He's great. Thank you, Matt. Ted Yoho. Ted, where's Ted? Great job.Donald Trump: (53:07)Now, man that is in charge of all spying. He was so good that Matt and Ron and Ted and Mike Waltz, and lot of people came to see me. Mike, another great one. Thank you, Mike. Is John Rutherford here? Good job, John. Thank you for the help. Thank you, John. But Mike Waltz has been so great and candidate for Congress, Kat Cammack. Kat. So Kat was in the Oval Office yesterday, right? And said, "How you doing?" "Sir, I'm up 42." said, "42 what?" 42 points. That was big Trump district, right? You're not in any real trouble. That's for sure. She's got it. That was great win you had, she'll be with us long time, long time. really appreciate it.Donald Trump: (54:26)And we also have some others that are running for different offices in the Republican Party. And we love the Republican Party. They have been incredible. They have been incredible. We also have some of our really unbelievable, undercover operatives. And if you don't mind, won't introduce them. All right? don't think we're going to introduce them. want to so badly. want to have them stand up and bring them up here. want to hug him and kiss him, which I'm not allowed to do because of social distancing. But somehow they've may lose some effectiveness if introduce them. So they're in the crowd. saw two of them and won't bother, but they are great, great champions of our country.Donald Trump: (55:18)And also here is woman who was so, mean, she was tough. She was in charge of great state, Michigan. As you kept asking me, "Come back, you're going to win." Everyone said Republicans hadn't won Michigan in many decades. And felt should because was bringing back and was doing so much for the business and jobs and bringing people back and recommending and telling them, you're losing your business to Mexico, Canada. And they gave me, 12 years ago, they gave me the man of the year in Michigan. And made this crazy speech that said, "You're losing all your jobs to Mexico." And all of sudden I'm running for office and woman who handled it was unbelievable. She'd say to me, "Sir, would you please come and make speech?" said, "Who are you?" "My name is Ronna McDaniel. I'm in charge of Michigan." Where's Ronna?Donald Trump: (56:12)She said, "My name is Ronna McDaniel. I'm charge of Michigan." said, "I hear we don't have chance." We should win Michigan. But hear, "You're going to win it if you come here." So went and made speech. Then went and made another speech. Then she'd call again and again, couldn't take it. And then said, "Look, I'll do one more." She wanted me to do one more. She said, "I'm telling you, you're going to win. Do one more." This is two weeks left. And said, "All right, this is it, though, this is it." I've devoted lot of time to Michigan. And everyone says you can't win. By the way, just got poll, we're three points up in Michigan.Donald Trump: (56:50)She said, "Sir," then she used to call me Mr. Trump, wasn't president yet. She said, "Sir, please, just this one time, this is it, three weeks out." said, "All right, this is it. Can't do anymore. I've got to go to lot of states. That's it." "This is it, sir, promise." So did it. Then the night before the election, she said, "Sir, you're going to win Michigan, but you got to make one more stop." said, "You got to be-"Donald Trump: (57:15)And made it on election day. arrived at 1215 in the now morning. That was now election day, right? started speaking at one o'clock in the morning on election day. My wife said, "Are you crazy?" We had 32,000 people. And the reason went, she wanted us there. But we found out that crooked Hillary Clinton, Barack Hussein Obama, and Mrs. Obama and Bill Clinton were traveling to Michigan unexpectedly because as Bill Clinton told them three months ago, "You're going to have trouble with Trump and Michigan." They don't want to listen to him. they said, 'Oh, well," because he's natural politician. And he said, "You're going to have trouble in Wisconsin too, and be careful of Minnesota." This was Clinton. Remember they were laughing, they thought he was very funny. But they knew they were in trouble. So they flew there. They had 500 people. went there. start speaking at one in the morning with 32,000 people in Grand Rapids, Grand Rapids.Donald Trump: (58:20)In Grand Rapids. And said, it's like this. said, "We're not going to lose this state." You can't lose. When you have crowd, you can't lose. You can look at crowd, can look at this crowd. can say, "Look at it." As far as the eye can see, as far as the eye can see. I'd leave here, said, "We're not losing Florida." can tell you that, you could tell, you can feel it. You can feel it. You have an instinct. We're joined as well by group of incredible supporters who have recently walked away from the Democrat Party. They walked away from the Democrats. They just registered as Republicans. Thank you. Thank you. And they're going to be voting for us. It's just whole big group of people. And thank you. And you're all over the place. Thank you, thank you. They know. It's called, they're smart and they have common sense.Donald Trump: (59:16)We've spent the last four years reversing the terrible damage Joe Biden inflicted over the last 47 years. Together, we've taken on corrupt and broken system that's been throwing everything at us from the very beginning. And remember this and say it all the time. I've done more in 47 months than Joe Biden's done in 47 years. But today trove of text messages was released from the FBI agents involved in the Russia witch hunt. You had to see this. This is what was talking about before. The headline from the Federalist reads, Trump was right, explosive new FBI texts detail internal furor over handling of the crossfire hurricane investigation. That was the name. We caught him. We had him before this, but this is like, remember the insurance policy, darling, darling. Oh, love you so much, darling. She's going to win, isn't she? Yes. 100 million to one. That's not good odds for me. They might not have been great, but they were lot better than that. 100 million to one, Lisa, love you so much. But if for some reason she doesn't win, we have an insurance policy, that's what we've been living through, their insurance policy. You can't be any more obvious than that.Donald Trump: (01:01:08)These people are scum. They were trying to do coup, who would think? And we caught them. Before that, we caught them spying on our nation and they've gotten caught. Let's see what happens with them now. But this was big day. This was big day. Never forget they are coming after me because am fighting for you, there's lot of truth to that.Donald Trump: (01:01:38)For decades, our politicians spent trillions of dollars rebuilding foreign nations, fighting foreign wars, and defending foreign borders. But now we are finally protecting our nation, rebuilding our cities, and we are bringing our jobs, our factories, and our troops back home to the USA. Joe Biden championed every globalist betrayal of America for 47 years. He was cheerleader for NAFTA, the worst trade deal ever made, emptied out your factories. And he was cheerleader for China's entry into the World Trade Organization. took the toughest ever action to stand up to China's rampant theft of American jobs. And proudly signed historic executive order, making it official government policy to buy American and hire American.Donald Trump: (01:02:40)By the way, you ever seen this guy? He's using my slogan. He's using my slogans. saw him the other day. It's like, buy American. said, "I've been saying that for five years," right? He's using my, he has no clue, I'm telling you. You got to come up with your own slogans.Donald Trump: (01:03:03)... I'm telling you. You've got to come up with your own slogans, Joe. We invested $2.5 trillion in the U.S. military and launched the first new branch of U.S. Armed Forces in nearly 75 years after the Air Force, the Space Force. Right here. We passed VA choice and VA accountability. Nobody thought that could happen. We have 91% approval rating of the VA. 91% approval rating, highest in history, highest ever. Do you ever see, don't want to say this to them because they'll find the vets, is there an unhappy vet some place? 91% approval. Remember, we used to always watch every night, you'd see things on the news about how badly the vets are treated. Now we have 91% approval rating. My guys are doing great job. And today, can announce that the VA is approving new $46 million lease for brand new Veterans Healthcare Clinic in North Jacksonville.Donald Trump: (01:04:13)We killed the founder and leader of ISIS, Al-Baghdadi. We took out the world's number one terrorist. All over the world, number one. The mass murder of American troops and many others, Qasem Soleimani is dead. Took him out. He deserved to be taken out. We withdrew from the last administration's disastrous Iran Nuclear Deal. $150 billion, do you know what he got for it? Nothing. 1.8 billion in cash. He got nothing, nothing. kept my promise, recognized the true capital of Israel and opened the American Embassy in Jerusalem. also recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and instead of endless war, we are forging peace in the Middle East. You saw what is happening there. In fact, was nominated for two Nobel Peace Prizes last week. You know the story. You know the story.Donald Trump: (01:05:29)And told our great First Lady, said, "First Lady, was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. I'm going to come home early. I'm going to watch it on NBC News," which is one of the biggest scam jobs I've ever seen. NBC probably worse than CNN, NBC. "But we're going to watch it. We're going to watch the evening news. So we'll watch the second place NBC." You know it is. It's second place. They spent all this money on PR and then hit them hard. But they are bad. said, "First Lady, wait till you see it. Nobel Peace Prize. This will definitely be the biggest thing." All right, ladies and gentlemen, NBC News, they start off with you. They said you got some heavy rain. They started off with something else, something else, something else, something else. Now the show's almost over. said, "First Lady, they're not mentioning the Nobel Peace prize. This is very embarrassing." But then it was okay because two days later, got nominated again. That was for Israel. got nominated again.Donald Trump: (01:06:36)Remember when Obama got it, they said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Barack Hussein Obama has just been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize." So what happened? said, "First Lady, just got nominated again. This time for Kosovo-Serbia. They're not killing each other anymore. stopped it. It's totally different." The first was Israel, Bahrain, UAE. This one was close to totally different one. don't know if that's ever happened before. said, "First Lady, let's give it another shot." We watched the news, never even mentioned it. When Barack Obama got his Nobel Prize immediately after he got elected, they asked him, "Why did you get it?" He had no clue. Nobody knew. Nobody knew. And it was big story. Breaking news. "We have breaking news." They didn't have breaking news when got it, but that's why we understand the press. We understand them very well. They're fake.Donald Trump: (01:07:31)The last administration made pathetic one-sided deal with Castro dictatorship that betrayed the Cuban people and enriched the communist regime. My opponent stands with socialists and communists. stand with the proud people of Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela in their righteous struggle for freedom. And you're going to win that very soon. You're going to win that very soon. The last administration also negotiated the terrible Obama-Biden-Santos deal with Colombian drug cartels. They surrendered the narco terrorists. They surrendered to them and they caused illicit drug production to soar. Under my administration, we worked with our Colombian partners to launch historic rival operation against the drug traffickers. And since April, we have seized or disrupted 227 metric tons of poisonous narcotics. Nobody has ever done anything like it.Donald Trump: (01:08:40)Joe Biden opposed the mission to take out Osama bin Laden. He opposed killing Soleimani. He voted for the Iraq War. He backed the disastrous Iran Nuclear Deal. And he cheered for the rise of China as positive development for our country. don't think so. That was disaster. Now Biden is put forward the most dangerous and extreme platform of any major party nominee in history. The band news is he doesn't even know what the hell it is. The Biden plan would destroy social security and destroy protections for pre-existing conditions. It will drain your Medicare by giving free healthcare to illegal immigrants that will come over to this country by the millions when they see this. End virtually all immigration enforcement and oppose totally open borders. He would terminate our travel bans on jihadist regions. Remember, got that approved. They kept saying, "Oh, he lost. He lost. He lost." And then won in the Supreme Court. We have travel ban. Guess what?Donald Trump: (01:09:45)And increase refugee admissions by over 700%, opening the flood gates to radical Islamic terrorism. He wants to ban school choice and ban charter schools, which are absolutely imperative for our children. In second term, will provide school choice to every parent in America. vote for Republicans is vote for safe communities, great jobs, and limitless future for all Americans. And in conclusion, over the next four years, we will make America into the manufacturing superpower of the world and we will end our reliance on China once and for all. We will make our medical supplies right here in the United States. We will hire more police, increase penalties for assault on law enforcement and we will ban deadly sanctuary cities. We will defend the dignity of work and the sanctity of life. We will uphold religious liberty, free speech, and the right to keep and bear arms. Second Amendment.Donald Trump: (01:11:04)We will strike down terrorists who threaten our citizens and we will keep out of America, of our great country, we will stay away from those ridiculous, endless, foreign wars. They never end. Endless foreign wars. They're all coming home. They're all coming home. We will maintain America's unrivaled military might and we will ensure peace through strength. And nobody has strength like we have strength. Peace through strength. We will end surprise medical billing, require price transparency, and further reduce health insurance premiums and the cost of prescription drugs. They're going to becoming down by 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70% favored. Favored Nations. Favorite Nations Clause, we'll be paying as low as anybody in the world. It's called Favored Nations. Nobody had the guts to do it. And they are spending lot of money on ads against me right now, that Big Pharma. They are spending lot of money. We will strongly protect Medicare and social security, and we will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions.Donald Trump: (01:12:22)America will land the first woman on the moon and the United States will be the first nation to land an astronaut on Mars.Speaker 1: (01:12:51)We love you! We love you! We love you! We love you! We love you! We love you! We love you! We love you! We love you! We love you! We love you!Donald Trump: (01:12:52)Thank you. That's really nice.Speaker 1: (01:12:55)We love you! We love you!Donald Trump: (01:12:56)I had such nice life before doing this. But no administration has ever done in the first three and half years, not even close, what we've done, and that's very gratifying, want to tell you that. And thank you very much. We will stop the radical indoctrination of our students and restore patriotic education to our schools. We will teach our children to love our country, honor our history, and always respect our great American flag.Speaker 1: (01:13:33)U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!Donald Trump: (01:13:49)And we will live by the timeless words of our national motto, "In God we trust." For years, you had President who apologized for America. Now you have President who is standing up for America and standing up for the great people of Florida. So get your friends, get your family, get your neighbors, get your coworkers and get out and vote. We have to win this election. Most important election we've ever had. Early voting has already begun. Don't wait, vote. It's safe. Go out and vote. hear we're doing very well, by the way. That's what the word is. We'll see. We'll see. But hear we're doing very well. From Tampa to Tallahassee, from Orlando to Miami, from Pensacola to right here in Jacksonville, we stand on the shoulders of Florida patriots who gave their blood, sweat, and tears for this beloved nation. We inherit the legacy of American heroes who crossed the oceans, blazed the trails, settled the continent, tamed the wilderness, dug out the Panama Canal, laid down the railroads, raised up the skyscrapers, won two world wars, defeated fascism and communism, and from here, in this beautiful, beautiful state, this sun drenched state of Florida, we launched American astronauts to the moon, we made America into the single greatest nation in the history of the world, and the best is yet to come. You watch. Proud citizens like you helped build this country and together we are taking back our country. We are returning the power to you, the American people. With your health, your devotion, your drive, we are going to keep on working, we are going to keep on fighting, and we are going to keep on winning, winning, winning. We are one movement, one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God. And together with the incredible people of Florida, we will make America wealthy 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.Donald Trump: (01:16:49)Thank you, Florida. Thank you, Florida.

                                                                                                                                                                                               Donald Trump: (06:54)Thank you. Wow.Crowd: (08:23)USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA.Donald Trump: (08:35)Thank you very much. Hello, Newport News. know it well. know it well. know it well. You know, my father and had couple of little jobs here and they were great. When the ships came in, they were packed. When the ships out, they were stone cold empty. said, "This is different kind of place." But we loved it, and it's great place. And I'm thrilled to be back in the Commonwealth of Virginia with the thousands of loyal, hardworking American patriots. And also want to thank the great people of North Carolina. Who's here from North Carolina? Not bad, it's little area there.Donald Trump: (09:23)39 Days from now, we're going to win Virginia. We're going to win North Carolina. We're going to win four more years in the white house and keep doing what we've been doing because it's never been anything quite like it. This is the most important election in the history of our country. One of the biggest issues for the people of Virginia is your second amendment. And if sleepy Joe Biden wins, your second amendment will be eliminated and your firearms will be confiscated. Whether you like it or not. When asked if Biden administration was coming after your guns, Biden replied, "Yes." Fully had to say yes.Donald Trump: (10:15)He promised to put the gun grabber, Beto O'Rourke ... you know Beto, Beto. Remember Beto? He was on the cover of third rate magazine and he said, "I was born to run for president." That was the end of his run. That's what it ended. Anytime they say they were born to do it they got problems. That didn't work out, it was steep drop. But he put Beto in charge of his assault on your guns and you know what happened with Beto, Beto went crazy. He wants to take your guns away. Biden vows to impose punishing taxes on gun owners. Outlaw many of the most popular firearms in America, create national gun registry, and wage the most aggressive war on gun rights in US history.Donald Trump: (11:06)Biden will disarm law abiding Americans. At the same time, they'll have riots down your street and that's just fine. That's okay. That's okay, according to the left wing. Only by voting for me can you save your country and can you save your second amendment.Donald Trump: (11:27)So was told not to go for Virginia. We did really well last time and never came, never did anything, and we did really well. said, "Why didn't go for Virginia?" But it's traditionally not Republican state over the last number of decades. And said, "Why not?" You have crazy governor and every time see it, every two weeks he's trying to take your guns away, right?Donald Trump: (11:58)And he'll attack constantly right to life. And you know, he's so far left, he doesn't even talk about late term, he talks about after the baby was born. Which is the first time ever heard of that. You hear late term, but he said and after the baby is born we'll start talking to mother. In other words, he's talking about execution of the baby. Execution. You have governor that thinks he's Michael Jackson. Remember his wife saved him. Remember he wanted to prove that he was just dressed up like Michael Jackson and that he sometimes thought when he was young that he resembled Michael Jackson. don't think so. And you remember he wanted to moonwalk across the stage and his wife said, "No, no, don't do it, darling. Don't please, darling." Nobody moonwalks like Michael. That would have been good, wish could have seen that. That would not have been pretty.Donald Trump: (13:05)So based on your governor and based on the fact that he's always ... every like month you're fighting for guns. If I'm not here, your second amendment is gone and I'm talking about all over the country. Forget about just Virginia. So said, "Let's give Virginia shot." We're nearby, right? We're nearby. even said, "We'll bring in the heavy artillery. We'll bring in our great vice president, Mike Pence." Did he do good job?Donald Trump: (13:45)I'll tell you what, Kamala, Kamala is no Mike Pence. She's no Mike Pence. No, he's great. He's done fantastic job. And he's with you all the way. So said, "Let's give it shot." And you know, there's big difference. tell you what, there's never been bigger difference between candidates or parties, never been. No party that supports, as an example, what he would do to child after it was born is fit to be even involved in any way in this nation, let alone running this nation. As you know, sleepy Joe Biden endorsed your governor. So that means he endorsed the policy of your governor. That means he endorsed breaking up your second amendment. So it'll either be totally broken up or it will be wiped out. Essentially it won't be that much different.Donald Trump: (14:41)So here we are in Virginia. Like had nothing to do today. woke at six in the morning, read some papers. read the fake news. And then was in Florida early in the morning, and then went to Florida and we did big round table with the Hispanics. They were great. And then we flew to Atlanta from Florida, Palm Beach. And then we flew ... We started off in all different places. We were all ... And then we flew, we went to Miami. We started off. But I'll tell you what, Florida's great. We're going to win Florida. We're way up in Florida. Way up. Way up. Even poll that gave me ... mean, I've never had good number. ABC/Washington Post poll, it's terrible poll, always been bad. think it got everything wrong four years ago. They said I'm four up or more, but I'm four up in the State of Florida. So anyway, so we went to Miami, went to beautiful place actually in Miami, you know where that is, right? And we had, won't say because then they'll say I'm advertising if do [inaudible 00:15:58]. won't say. won't say the name of the place, but it is beautiful. And then what happened is we went to Atlanta and we ... so we left the great Hispanics. We call them the Latinos for Trump. Latino.Donald Trump: (16:18)Where we are polling at numbers that guess no Republican has ever polled before. Perhaps Abraham Lincoln, but in those days he wasn't big into the Hispanic movement. think Abraham had other things to think about, don't we think? But will say this, nobody has done more for many communities, but always say for the Black community, nobody has done more for the Black community than Donald Trump since Abraham Lincoln. Nobody.Donald Trump: (16:52)So we flew to Atlanta and we had an unbelievable two hours. And this was with the African American community, the Black community. always say, "What do you like better? Tell me what you like better." They say, "Usually the Black community." And what is the answer, tell me? African American. don't want to hear from other people, want to hear. African American. What do you like better? African American or Black? It's Black. Yeah, that's what we hear. I'll go with whatever you want. That's your choice. We can use either one. I'll go with whatever you want.Donald Trump: (17:33)We had great two hours, incredible people, Herschel Walker introduced me. Serious, serious guy. We had lot of champion fighters, lot of great people. It was an amazing time.Donald Trump: (17:50)And then we flew to Washington where we had round table. And then say, "Well, that's it for the night, right?" You know, this starts at six in the morning. So said, "That's it for the night? Is that it? I'll go back home to the White House." No, sir. Well, wonder what ... You're going to Virginia, sir. Good. That's good. Thank you, very much. This was like, asked the question about an hour ago," where am going now?" Put me in coach, you ever hear the expression? Just wind me up and put me in coach. said, "Where are we going tonight?" said, "Let's go back to the White House, let's see our first lady." And they said, "No, sir, you have rally scheduled. You have rally scheduled." Where is it? In Virginia. said, "That's good. How many people?" They said, "A hell of lot of people. That's [inaudible 00:18:40]."Donald Trump: (18:39)Well, wouldn't. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. When you have rallies like this, you don't forget them. You don't forget them. Thank you, go ahead. Go ahead. What the hell.Crowd: (19:05)Four more years. Four more years. Four more years. Four more years. Four more years. Four more years. Four more years.Donald Trump: (19:17)No, so we're going to put heavy play in for Virginia. Seriously, we're going to put heavy play in Virginia. And think we can win this state. Man, that crowd is big. Look at that, it goes way back to the hanger. That is big crowd. That's good. You know, always tell the cameras, "I don't want to bore people with this," but implore them, turn the cameras around and show them the size of this crowd. It Goes back to the building. But they never like doing it because they don't like including Fox, they don't like showing big crowds. You know, they don't like showing big crowds. We left Ohio. We're way up in Ohio. Way up in Ohio. We're way up in Georgia. We were in Georgia today though with the governor and the senator, Senator Perdue. And Representative Doug Collins, great guy, Kelly Loeffler, great person, Senator, and Senator Perdue. And said, "How are we doing?" They said, "You're winning by lot in Georgia. You're winning by lot." Of course, if you see these people, they'll say, "He's pretty close in Georgia. Too close to call." And then we have election night comes, the polls in Georgia are close. Donald Trump has won the State of Georgia." You only win if you're up by, like lot. If you're by lot, they announce it ... That was what happened with Texas last time. They said Texas is too close to call. All for months and months and months. The only one that didn't believe that were the people in Texas. So when it closed, they said the polls in Texas are closed, Donald Trump has won-Donald Trump: (21:03)The polls in Texas are closed. Donald Trump has won that state, like in the same breath. Nah, we're doing great in Texas. We're doing great all over the place. We're doing great all over. hear we're up in New Hampshire, which is great. Last time that one got taken away from us with the people that just came in with buses all over the place. They had buses coming up from Massachusetts. You have the RINO governor, you know, the RINO governor of Massachusetts, right? Baker. He's RINO but guess he does whatever he can to get elected.Donald Trump: (21:33)The Democrat party is now run by socialists and Marxists who want to destroy our laws, our values, and want to destroy your way of life. To uphold our Constitution as written, tomorrow will be announcing my nominee to the United States Supreme Court.Crowd: (22:10)Fill that seat. Fill that seat.Donald Trump: (22:11)Fill that seat. Oh, we're going to fill it, don't worry about it. And the Republicans have been very unified. You see that, very unified. Even couple of people that normally don't vote for with us. You know, they usually don't vote with the Republicans, but they are. And we have tremendous unity in the party. Mitch is doing good job. Kevin is doing good job. We're going to take over the House. We're going to take back the House. People are tired of craziness. They're tired.Donald Trump: (22:41)We want to get some stimulus out. She doesn't want to give it, only for political reasons. It's not your fault. Do you know, whose fault it is? China's fault. That's whose fault it is. That's whose fault it is. But you know, it's an amazing thing because the Democrats are saying, "Well, it's the end of term." You know, we have lot of time left. Think think of this. If it were them... Don't forget, we don't have to do it by the election. But we should be really able. That would be great victory, going into the election with that biggest of all victories.Donald Trump: (23:15)You know, they say the biggest thing you can do is the appointment of judges, but especially the appointment of Supreme Court Justices. That's the single biggest thing president can do because it sets the tone of the country for 40 years, 50 years. mean long time. So we're going to be announcing somebody great. just watched, the great thing about Air Force One there are more televisions on that plane than any plane. They got them in every room. You open up for closet. You want shirt. Let me open, "Oh, there's television."Donald Trump: (23:50)And I'm watching the Democrats saying how terrible it is that we're appointing. We have the right. We won the election, right? Then we have the right. We won the election. We have lot of time, and if they weren't in opposition, they would do the same thing. Maybe they would just do it more rapidly. Okay? More rapidly. So tomorrow think is going to be big day. Five o'clock tomorrow at the White House, we're going to be naming the nominee, hopefully will be on that court for 50 years. Five-oh, fifty years. Be on there for 50 years. The only thing can tell you for sure is it will be woman. Is that okay?Crowd: (24:31)Yay.Donald Trump: (24:34)Does anybody have any objections to that?Crowd: (24:36)No.Donald Trump: (24:36)Please raise your hand. lot of cowards out there. Look at you, men. There's not one man here that has the guts to raise your hand. Not one. If given the power, the radical left we'll pack the Supreme Court with extremists who will strike the words "under God" from the pledge of allegiance as they did twice. heard their pledge of allegiance. They had it in their caucus. I'm watching. said, "Oh, they made mistake." said to the First Lady, "Darling, they made mistake. They left the words 'under God' out." And then heard it second time and they made the same mistake. said, "This is strange."Donald Trump: (25:19)This is like the guys on the Mueller team. They cleaned their phones, right? 31 phones. And they said, "Oh, we made mistake." And they all made the exact same mistake. The odds of that are billion to one, right? They all made... Oh, they got caught. Did you see what's going on. Oh, they got caught. Hey, feel sorry. That's shame.Crowd: (25:42)Lock them up.Donald Trump: (25:42)Yeah. They should be, I'll tell you. They should be. They're crooked people. They're crooked people. So they cleaned up their phones. Hillary took her phones and smashed them. She took 33,000 emails and deleted them after Congress requested them. And think they're looking at that too. think so. think so.Donald Trump: (26:09)Can you imagine? have friend he's very smart. Rich guy made lot of money, but he's very streetwise guy. He said, "You know, you've been under investigation by these thieves, and they're smart." They just weren't smart when they all use the same exact method to clean their phones. That wasn't smart. You know, at least put it in little bit different. 31 different phones. Like what is it? 21 people, 31 phones. But that's okay. That's okay. That's only illegal. But this friend of mine said, "You know, they've gone through everything. They've gone through your taxes. They've gone through your financials. They've gone through everything. You have to be the most honest guy in the world."Donald Trump: (26:49)And they come up, no collusion. Oh, if they found anything. No, it's bad group of people headed by Robert Mueller. Bad group of people. Who wanted the job at the FBI. But he lied to Congress. He said he didn't say that, but he did. bet he did. We have all the proof. So he is in the same group you know? But they're actually in worse shape because at least with Mueller, you can say, he probably didn't know what the hell he was doing. Sort of like Joe Biden. figure about the same. Does that make sense? Does anybody under-Donald Trump: (27:24)How would you like to you're getting divorce or something, and you say, "I got to be represented by Bob Mueller." You think so? You saw his performance in Congress, right? want to be represented by Bob Mueller. No. The same thing. How can we have Joe Biden representing this country?Crowd: (27:43)Boo.Donald Trump: (27:47)And he's on the lid. You know the lid, right? The lid is where they say we're going to put lid on it. So guess it means probably what it's supposed to. have no idea. The lid, it's lid. But it's an expression. And every day, early in the morning, they say, "Joe, Joe." mean, Joe Biden, sleepy Joe. He's put lid on it. Sir, Biden has put lid on it. What does that mean? That means he's not working today. This guy takes more days off. You will have to have president that's going to work his ass off for this country. We need everything. We need very energetic president.Donald Trump: (28:24)They said, "How do you think he's going to do in the debate?" think good. He's been doing it for 47 years. think he's going to do good. think. And one thing we know if he does just okay, just okay, they're going to say, the fake news, they're going to say it was the single greatest debate performance in history. It was unbelievable, far better than Winston Churchill in his prime. Winston Churchill was nothing compared to this sleepy Joe.Donald Trump: (28:51)So you know that. If he finishes the debate, if he finishes, which think he will. And he might even do well. But if he does well they're going to say it's the greatest debate. And they have it already written. They have couple of scenarios. If he does really poorly, they're going to say he wasn't bad. He wasn't bad. If he does modestly well, like he did against Bernie, they were sort of even. If he does like that, they'll say it was the greatest performance in history. But with your vote, will preserve our Constitution and ensure law and order.Crowd: (29:22)Yay.Donald Trump: (29:26)Joe Biden is weak. He surrendered his party to the flag burners, the rioters, the anti-police anarchists, the radicals. All these guys running around these Democrat-run cities and states, look at it. 10 out of 10. We could fix up Portland so fast. They have to invite us. And want to be invited into that one. We would fix that like we did Minneapolis. We would fix that up in less than half an hour. Remember Minneapolis, they were riot. mean, the problem is they invited us in about two weeks. By the time they invited, it was lot of flames behind them. Remember the reporter, he's standing there. "This is peaceful protest," and behind him, you have like blocks. It looked like Berlin during the war, didn't it? never saw anything. This is the craziest thing. It's peaceful performance.Donald Trump: (30:21)But what we did, we said it's peaceful protest. And we don't call these rallies anymore because in Dem states like where you have governor who's Democrat, you're not allowed to go to church and not allowed to go to restaurant. You're not allowed to go to your friend's house. You can't move from your house unless you're related to the governor. Then you can do whatever the hell you want. You can't do anything. You can't do anything, unless of course it's peaceful protest. Okay?Donald Trump: (30:56)So what we do is we call these peaceful protests, and we're getting big crowds. 25-30,000. 35,000. There's more enthusiasm now than there was four years ago because we've done good job, right? There's more now. Now we have more enthusiasm now than we did. You know, it's interesting. Don't forget, four years ago, did nice job. was successful. Had great television show, The Apprentice. It was great. People got to know me little bit. said, "Let me run."Donald Trump: (31:27)From the time, the first hour that we came down the escalator, First Lady and down the escalator, her with white dress, right? Very famous escalator right now. People go take pictures of the escalator. But we came down the escalator. We were in first place, right? We never went, never left center stage, right? And that's based on poll numbers, if you're the number one poller. And said, "Look, want an odd number. don't want an even number." They said, "What are you talking?" said, "Because that means two people are in center and that's not fair. So want an odd number." We were on center stage.Donald Trump: (32:03)But we've done good job. What happened is came. said was going to cut your taxes. We gave you the biggest tax decrease in history, right? said was going to cut regulations and we were going to have an incredible economy. And regulations were probably even more important than the tax cuts. Okay? You want to know the truth. You ask the business people, the great ones, they will tell you if they had choice, they'll take the regulation cuts. And we still have ways to go with that. But we did that.Donald Trump: (32:31)We rebuilt your military. We added Space Force. mean, what we've done Is far more, far more. Right to try, how about right to try? never talked about that. never talked about that. We knocked out 100% of the ISIS caliphate. Right?Crowd: (32:50)Yay.Donald Trump: (32:53)We achieved energy independence, and we've done it while protecting our very pristine environment, by the way. And earlier this month... Oh, you're going to be so happy, Virginia and North Carolina. Come on North Carolina, you're going to be so happy. You're going to be cheering like crazy, because think you'll like this. But about month ago signed an order prohibiting offshore drilling on the Florida, Georgia and South Carolina coast, right? Right? And because happen to like this state lot, said, " What about Virginia? What about North Carolina?" And somebody said, "I don't know. don't know if they like it." said, "I think they like it." So I'm extending the moratorium to North Carolina and Virginia. Okay?Crowd: (33:44)Yay.Donald Trump: (33:49)And if you want to have oil rigs out there, just let me know. We'll take it off. mean, you know can understand that too. can understand that too, but think you want it. So we're extending it to Virginia. We're extending it to North Carolina up the coast, and we're not going to have any problems like can be had. All right? So think you'll like that. You don't like it, you're going to let me know, I'm going to change it. can change things very easily.Donald Trump: (34:13)We built the greatest economy in the history of the world, and now we're quickly doing it again. So did all of these things. And in doing all of these things, you said the second time, well now this is actually much easier campaign in way. mean, the only problem is I've been tarred with this horrible witch hunt for four years and didn't do it.Crowd: (34:35)Boo.Donald Trump: (34:37)No, think of it. What would my numbers be if didn't go through almost four years of Russian witch hunt that turned out to be just the opposite. They were the ones that were involved with Russia. It was whole big disinformation campaign. Now what would my numbers be with all that we've done, and if you didn't hear night after night on fake news, CNN and MSDNC, and the New York Times and the Washington Post.Donald Trump: (35:09)And now it's turning out, not turning out, it's done. Because if you look at everything that's come out over the last few days, it's we caught them. They'd been caught. They spied on my campaign and they tried for coup. Can you believe it? In this day and age? And we caught them cold, so what would our numbers be? Our numbers, not mine. What would our numbers be? If every night, every morning, every day they were saying Russia, Russia, Russia. It turned out to be total hoax. In fact, Biden's son, it was just revealed two days ago, got three and half million dollars from the wife of the mayor of Moscow. Think of it.Donald Trump: (35:54)But really, think about that. What would be? We did all these incredible things with the economy, with everything, and then we got hit with this virus from China. They should never have let it happen. We won't forget it. And we closed up. We saved millions of lives. Now we've opened it. We're opening to records. But what would our popularity be if every day for almost four years, you didn't hear any of this bullshit, okay?Crowd: (36:20)Yay.Donald Trump: (36:27)What would it be? It's true. It's true. What would they be with all we've done think they would be very nice. The Democrats would say "Yes, if you'd like we could cancel the election because we have no chance." But you know what? Hopefully they have no chance anyway. And hopefully you're going to remember what just said, because we were unjustly treated, unjustly accused by bunch of treasonous crooks. They're bunch of bad, bad people who got caught. And think they'll have to pay very substantial price.Crowd: (37:01)Yay.Donald Trump: (37:02)When the plague arrived from China, we launched the largest national mobilization since World War II. We pioneered lifesaving therapies, reducing the fatality rate 85% since April. You know, the question was asked to me, "How well did we do on the pandemic?" And said, "I give us an to an A+." You look at the ventilators. You look at all we've done. We did great job. We helped the governors. The governors are always very thankful. Then sometimes they'll get in front of camera. They'll remember, some of them are Democrats, right? But said, the only thing we did badly on was public relations because we were working so hard we didn't think... think, frankly, they're not going to cover it well, no matter what. But we did hell of job.Donald Trump: (37:49)And then compare us to Europe, and we did very well. But now that Europe is exploding again, they don't want to talk about it, and neither do because want Europe to heal. want the whole world to heal. But we've done hell of job except in public relations, and that's explaining it to people. On that give us D, but we got an A+ in terms of what we've done.Donald Trump: (38:12)Through Operation Warp Speed, we will develop and distribute vaccine in record time by the end of the year and it could be sooner than that. But we have the greatest labs, the greatest companies of that kind in the world. And they are right there. They are right there. It's going to be incredible. So it's going to be great vaccine. We have Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson, Moderna. Another one just announced today. These are great, great, great companies.Donald Trump: (38:41)On November 3rd, Virginia will decide whether we end the pandemic and return to record prosperity, or whether we allow Joe Biden to kill the recovery, delay the vaccine, impose $4 trillion tax cycle. That's what he wants to do. Ban American energy. He wants to ban fracking. How about that? He wants to ban fracking. Then he locks into the nomination. You know, he shouldn't have gotten it, because if Pocahontas left two days early, Bernie would have won. And we would have had Bernie. don't know who would have been better against. Maybe, who knows? But we would have had radical Bernie. But we're going to get lot of Bernie votes like we did last night because his people agree with us on trade, except we're better at it than he is.Donald Trump: (39:26)So we're going to get lot of the Bernie votes. Boy, Bernie takes hard shot does he? It is this twice it happened. And he has such nice attitude, between him. And how about Bloomberg? Bloomberg gets absolutely decimated in the debate, right? Mini Mike, mini Mike. Mini Mike, he gets decimated and in order to get back with the Democrat party, "I'm going to put hundred million dollars into Florida." If were him, I'd just take pass. He doesn't have to give us anything. We don't need his money. Just take pass. You know? So he wants to buy his way into the Democrats. And so he's going down to Florida. It's real.Donald Trump: (40:05)But unfortunately this time that wasn't so good, right? He said, "I'm going to pay off all these fines of the prisoners." There's only one problem. It's illegal. Now he's got himself problem. Now he's got himself bigger problem than he had when Pocahontas beat the hell out of him in the debate. Oh that wasn't so easy, Mike. Remember she was going point, after point, after point. And he thought she was talking about me. And so did actually. And then, and then what happened? She said, "And I'm not talking about President Trump. I'm talking about you." And he went, "Oh my God." He's not good guy. He's not good guy. Stupid. To do that, stupid. You have to have some pride. You can't go... But the way they treated him so badly, you can't do that.Donald Trump: (40:59)But they're going to destroy the suburbs. You know, keep hearing about suburban women like you, right? Suburban women. Well, just ended regulation that would have allowed projects in your... Do you mind having project next to your house, your beautiful? You live in beautiful house, right? Happily married, beautiful kids, everything perfect. The American dream, right? Do you mind having project built next door? Yeah. She said she minds. Do you know who minds? Everybody minds. just don't think anybody knows that we did this. really don't. don't think anybody knows. And they're going to change the zoning that allows them to build projects in the suburbs.Donald Trump: (41:37)So the guys came to me. said, "I want to end that." They came, "Sir, we're all set. We're going to really bring it back." said, "No, didn't say bring it back. said wanted to end it." "Well, that's not so easy." said, "I want it ended. don't want it. don't want it." And we terminated it so you can live happily ever after, if you vote for Trump. If you don't vote for Trump, you can forget it because they will put... Do you know who's in charge of it? Cory Booker, Senator Cory Booker. He's another beauty.Crowd: (42:02)Boo.Donald Trump: (42:02)Cory Booker, Senator Cory Booker, he's another beauty. He was Elizabeth... If you really think, you had Elizabeth Warren, you had Cory Booker and you had Kamala. You know if you pronounce her name wrong, she goes crazy. Kamala, like comma. It's like comma. She's like comma. And by the way, nobody treated sleepy Joe worse than his vice presidential pick. brilliantly said, "He'll never pick Kamala because he got called racist. He got called xenophobic," which he didn't know what that meant. He got called all sorts of things, right? And so said, "Now, obviously he's not going to..." He picked her. couldn't believe it, but think that's good. We like our Mike Pence. We like Mike Pence.Donald Trump: (42:47)And she's rated further left than Bernie Sanders. thought he was the most left in the... He's not actually even in the party. He's sort of like an Independent. Nobody ever used to say that, but he's like an Independent. But she's rated further left than crazy Bernie, and this is what you want? don't think so. Just so you understand... And then she calls it the Harris administration along with... Just like you're naming movie, the producing credits, right? "In the Harris administration along with Vice President Biden..." No, no, no. He's heading up the ticket, but then he said the same thing. He put her name first. I've never done that. love Mike, but I've never said, "Mike Pence and Donald Trump." always say Trump, because you know what? You got to know that you're the president. He doesn't know that he's in first position. He doesn't know it. He doesn't know it. He forgot. He forgot.Donald Trump: (43:48)Hey, look, you're entitled to mistake every once in while. It was strange that they did it almost in the same hour, though, right? It was like one on top of another. Give free healthcare, they want to give free healthcare to illegal aliens and indoctrinate your children with poisonous anti-American lies in school. We don't like that. To combat the toxic, and you see what it is, it's toxic, left-wing propaganda in our schools, announced last week that we are launching new pro-American lesson plan for students called the 1776 Commission. We will teach our children the truth about America, that we are the most exceptional nation on the face of the earth and we're getting better, better, better all the time. And we're joined tonight by friend of ours, warrior, Congressman Rob Wittman. Where's Rob? Thanks, Rob. Good guy.Donald Trump: (44:58)Virginia Republican party chair, Rich Anderson. Good job. How are doing? Am making the right move? I'm not wasting my time here, Rich? got to ask him. Rich, what do you think? think so, right? think so. And congressional candidates, Nick Freitas. Oh, look at him. We had call the other day, very successful call, right? Great call. Thanks Nick. And real warrior, real hero, Scott Taylor. Scott, great job. Those are two very important races and think you're going to win them. saw some good polling. We're taking over the House from crazy Nancy. We're going to have it. And think those two guys, think they're going to win.Donald Trump: (45:50)Also, somebody that have heard incredible things about, the Republican nominee for the US Senate, Daniel Gade, Daniel Gade. He's good looking guy. [crosstalk 00:46:11] And I'll tell you, he's got to beat his opponent because he is just... Warner was, you know he was talking about Russia, right? Trump and Russia, Russia, Russia. Then he gets scammed by guy with the greatest Russian accent. You remember that, right? "I have pictures of President Trump." "Oh really? Where, where, where? What are they like? Are they nude pictures?" "Yes, yes, yes." "Does Vladimir know?" "Yes, yes, yes." So he's talking to this guy, he got scammed, okay? It was comedian or something. It was comedian, he's allowed to talk to Russians. If talk to Russian, it's terrible thing.Donald Trump: (46:51)By the way, getting along with Russia is not the worst thing in the world. Does that make sense? Getting along with North Korea, Kim Jong-un. Everyone said, "Oh, he's getting along. He's giving so much." said, "What did he give?" They couldn't tell me anything. You know what gave? Sanctions, that's what gave. But you know what? We get along. We get along. You would have been in war right now. It would have been nuclear war. You would have been war right now with North Korea if it wasn't for me. Hillary Clinton didn't have clue. Obama didn't have clue. Obama told me when sat with him, the one time sat with him, "What's your biggest problem?" "North Korea." said, "How big?" He said, "It's big problem." And he was indicating like it was war. said, "Have you tried calling him? Have you tried? Have you given it little shot? Instead of losing 10 million people."Donald Trump: (47:38)They used to say, "50,000 people could be killed." No, 20 million people could be killed, okay? 20 million. Seoul is right near the border. It would be too bad, but we have good relationship. get criticized, because have relationships with these people and that's positive thing. We have to remember, that's positive thing. And had very good relationship in China with President Xi, but you know what? This pandemic has just... We made great trade deal, but it just doesn't mean the same to me. Does that make any sense? It doesn't mean the same to me. It doesn't mean the same to me. Last week, two weeks ago, they had the largest order of corn to our farmers in our history. They had the largest order of soybeans. They had this massive order of beef. But you know what? It just doesn't mean as much to me now, as it did at one point. The ink wasn't even dry on the trade deal, and this thing came in and they could have stopped it.Donald Trump: (48:37)We're all so deeply moved to be joined by two gold star spouses, two incredible people. Karen Owens was guest at my first address to Congress, as we honored the supreme sacrifice of her husband, fallen Navy Seal, Ryan Owens. Where is Karen? Where are you? Come on up here, come up. And we're also joined with Brittany Jacobson, her family. You know Brittany. On Memorial day in 2017, met Brittany and her son, Christian, at Arlington national cemetery. And we honored the memory of her incredible husband and Christian's dad, Marine Sergeant Christopher Jacobs. We took picture together, that little boy, who's no longer little boy, Come on over here, come on. Come on over here, the both of you. Come on. [inaudible 00:49:46]. [crosstalk 00:49:42] Thank you very much. said, "How's your beautiful, handsome boy?" She said, "Really good, but he wants to go back to school." Let's go, open up the schools, open up the schools governor. We'll get them open.Donald Trump: (50:40)But we thank God every day for our courageous warriors, and we'll always support our incredible gold star families. And we want to thank both of you. It's incredible, thank you. And we'll get you back to school soon, all right? Get them back. Come on, governor. Let's go. You got other things to do. These people, they're keeping this stage close, because they think it's going to be harmful on November 3rd. And it's not really, it's not going to have too much of an impact. What it's doing is hurting lot of people though. It's hurting lot of people. In everything we do, we are putting America first. We've spent the last four years reversing the terrible damage Joe Biden and his friends inflicted on this country over the last 47 years. love it when he says, "We could have done this. We should have done that."Donald Trump: (51:28)That guy's been here forever. 47 years, hard to believe, right? And that was in primetime. Although, he'd never had super primetime. But that was in primetime, remember? And this time, and now got him here, [ay ya yai 00:09:41]. Together we've taken on corrupt and broken system, that's been throwing everything at us from the very beginning. new trove of documents... And you have to go home, you've got to read these documents. And they now prove that Russia interfered in 2016. Unfortunately, it was on behalf of Hillary Clinton, not Trump. They interfered, disinformation. Newly released text messages make 100% clear the FBI knew that Democrats purchased Russian disinformation targeting me, your favorite president, which then formed the basis for the witch hunt. And I'll tell you, we've had some incredible strength in terms of people like Sean Hannity, the great Lou Dobbs. No, think of it. Laura, Tucker. Tucker's been great the last period of time.Donald Trump: (52:42)Fox and Friends, Jeanine, Jeanine. I'll tell you. [Jesse 00:10:49], how about Jesse, huh? Hey, Greg Gutfeld was bad to me. Now, he's great to me. He said, "Hey, would you rather have nice guy that doesn't do anything, or horrible human being like Trump that gets it done?" They all say, "I'd rather have the horrible human." I'm not horrible human. I'm nicer guy. always get very offended when they say about like, "Well, maybe people don't like him, but he gets everything done." think people like me, but do get it done. [inaudible 00:53:17]. Done more than any administration ever, in three and half years, first three and half years.Crowd: (53:36)We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump.Donald Trump: (53:37)That's so nice.Crowd: (53:37)We love Trump. We love Trump.Donald Trump: (53:41)I'll tell you, that is so nice. That is so nice. The first is just talking about the seating, we're going to... Don't worry about... The justice will get her seat, don't worry about that. And that's nice, that's nice. But you know they say, these people said, they've never heard political campaign were big audience says, "We love Trump," or the candidate. I've never heard it. I've never heard it. It's true. I've never heard it for Ronald Reagan. And like Ronald Reagan, but I've never heard it. And they've never heard it. Nobody's ever heard it. Who says that? But love you too, really do. do. And we're getting it done. No, they've never heard that chant. I've never heard it. And it started about two weeks ago and never heard it even before. But again, before-Crowd: (54:39)We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump.Donald Trump: (54:40)No, want to thank you. It's really nice.Crowd: (54:41)We love Trump. We love Trump.Donald Trump: (54:41)It's really nice.Crowd: (54:41)We love Trump.Donald Trump: (54:46)And we've got to go out and we've got to really work hard. And we've got to watch this ballot scam, because they're scamming us, okay? They're scamming us. And then they say, "He doesn't want to turn over..." Of course, do, but it's got to be fair election. See, that's another scam. They don't mention anything about ballots. say, "Got to be fair election." When they're losing ballots all over the place, when they're losing ballots that just happened to be Trump ballots. You know, in Virginia, did you hear? In very Democrat area, they sent two ballots to thousands of people, thousand or thousands of people. It just came out over the wires. So people in Democrat area got two ballots instead of one.Donald Trump: (55:26)They had eight ballots in wastepaper basket, military ballots, that all were for Trump. Every one was for Trump and they were in wastepaper basket. They were thrown away and somebody saw them. Then they had many, many ballots thrown into river, someplace, don't even know the state. These are just few of them. And then go back earlier, go back to the Democrat primaries, go back to the great State, Iowa. love Iowa. We're going to win Iowa big, big, big, big. We won it last time by 11 points. We're going to win it big. With ethanol, what I've done for them, with the $28 billion for the farmers. And that includes you, that includes tobacco, that includes lot of things, but that includes your farmers. But you go back to their primaries, right? Go back to the primary, the Iowa, the first primary, it was done with ballots. They have no idea. Remember the disaster? And that's small primary.Donald Trump: (56:21)Now, they're talking about tens of millions of these fake ballots going all over the place. Who's sending them? Where are they being sent? Who's sending them back? Supposing they don't get them, are they being sent to Democrat areas? And they're all run by Democrat governors, right? All of them, 100%. It's 100%. So you have guy in Nevada, he just comes up with the idea. think we're going to win Nevada. If fairly, we're going to win it. But he comes up, "Well, you don't have to have your signature verified." Oh, that's nice. That's good. He decided let's do that. But you know real big problem? like watching television and have, "The winner is..." Right? You might not hear it for months, because this is mess. Go back and study what happened in Iowa. Take look, take look at what happened in New York, in small congressional race, Carolyn Maloney.Donald Trump: (57:18)She should have lost the race, in my opinion. They gave it to her, because it was crooked deal. The guy that she ran against was having fits. He said, "What are you doing? What are you doing?" Everything was mixed up. The ballots were lost. There was fraud. There was everything. Go into Patterson, New Jersey... These are just recently. It's disaster waiting to happen. And the only one that knows it better than we do are the Democrats. They know this is going to happen. They want it to happen, because they want to go through court system. And instead, you're not going to hear, very unlikely that you're going to hear winner that night. could be leading and then they'll just keep getting ballots and ballots and ballots and ballots. Because now, they're saying that the ballots can come in late. Well, what does that mean? And more importantly, they're going to be given, in some cases, week or two weeks to count the ballots. So if we're waiting for one state...Donald Trump: (58:12)No, think of it. If we're waiting... And this is, they're talking about five, six, seven states that have this problem. So if we're waiting for one state, does that mean the whole nation, the whole world, is going to wait for one state? won't use any names, but you have Pennsylvania, where you have Democrat, who by the way, lost the case last week. We sued. We want him to open up his state and we won, on constitutional grounds. North Carolina, they have the state all locked up. So we're talking about, these are the governors that run their states for Democrats. They really do. mean, they run them, they're Democrat governors, and they're in charge of the count. We went to Nevada to make speech. We had five different sites. The governor made it impossible, so we ended up at different site. We had to get one very... This is the guy that's in charge of ballots. He was political hack. Now, he's the governor. And this guy is in charge of ballots.Donald Trump: (59:09)It's not going to work. It's going to be disaster. And want smooth, beautiful transition, but they don't add the other part, but it's got to be an honest vote. And everybody knows, just go back again, look at Iowa, look what happened. Just take look at that. They still don't know who won. They didn't know weeks later. Remember New Hampshire went, New Hampshire, declared winner. And essentially, they don't know what happened in Iowa. Except the difference is, we're doing the same thing, but with tens of millions of ballots. This is disaster waiting to happen and they shouldn't let this system go. If you ask for ballot, it's called solicited. You solicit. You want the ballot, it comes in, you sign it, you send it back. That's okay. But where they send millions and millions of unsolicited ballots, people get ballots, they didn't even know they were getting them. Sign it, sign it. Then they have people going around getting them to sign. When you have that, you don't need... We have much more enthusiasm. We're so high up on enthusiasm, right?Donald Trump: (01:00:15)But it's very unfair, because when you have somebody go knock on your door, "Sign," it's called harvesting. They're going to harvest ballots. Even though in some cases, in most cases, it's illegal. It's illegal as hell. And it should be illegal. So this is disaster waiting to happen. And the only hope we have, really, other than going through long, unbelievable litigation at the end, after it's over, because we're going to win. We're not going to lose this, except if they cheat. That's the way look at it. We can't let them cheat. We can't let them, it's too much. Our country is at stake and it's true. Our country is at stake, because these people will destroy our country. We can't let this happen. And this is scam. They know it. The media knows it, but the media doesn't want to cover it. They know exactly what's going to happen and so do I, but the Democrats know better than all of us what's going to happen.Donald Trump: (01:01:11)So we can't let it, and if you see anything, you just have to report it on everything. We're all watching. Law enforcement's watching all over the place, but it's very hard to watch. Millions of ballots, very hard to watch. And that's the only way we're going to lose, is if there's mischief. Mischief, and it'll have to be on big scale, so be careful. And we do want very friendly transition, but we don't want to be cheated and be stupid and say, "Oh, let's..." We'll go and we'll do transition and we know that there were thousands and thousands of ballots that made the difference through cheating. We're not going to stand for it. We're not going to stand for it. So just remember, keep your eyes open. For decades, our opponents spent trillions of dollars rebuilding other countries and now we're finally rebuilding our country. We invested $2.5 trillion in the US military, all made in the USA. We launched the first new branch of the Armed Forces, think of that, since the Air Force, 75 years ago. It's called Space Force and it's big deal. See, that alone would be big deal for... Honestly, that alone would be very big deal for an administration. We did... Think of it. We now have 6th branch of the United States Armed Forces. That's big deal. But we did so much more, so much more. mean, think of it. It's incredible. You know what we did, probably the most? We'll have maybe even more than 300 federal judges, including court of appeals. And now we're going to have three Supreme Court judges. Their minds are blowing, their mind. You've had many presidents, never had one Supreme court judge...Donald Trump: (01:03:03)You've had many presidents never had one Supreme Court judge. We're going to have three. Of all people! And that's record. Of all people to get three Supreme Court justices in one administration, in one term, they are going crazy. They're saying, "Darling, tell me this is not happening." But you'll see it tomorrow at 5:00. With the help of the incredible workers of Newport News and Norfolk Naval Shipyard, we will build 355. We're going to have Navy again, of 355 ships. That's what we need. That's been depleted. And they're already being built. We've got few big ones, beauties being built, including aircraft carriers.Donald Trump: (01:03:52)Biden will slash military funding, and shipbuilding will be shut down. It's going to be shut down like it used to be. We killed the founder and leader of ISIS, al-Baghdadi. We took out the world's number one terrorist and mass murderer, Soleimani. withdrew from last administration's disastrous Iran nuclear catastrophe. What deal that was. $150 billion, 1.8 billion in cash. You ever see what 1.8 billion in cash? It's plane loads. These guys over there, they must've said, "What the hell is this?" They never saw money like that. We paid it. You know what we got for it? Nothing. Nothing.Donald Trump: (01:04:36)I kept my promise, recognized the true capital of Israel and opened the American embassy in Jerusalem. also recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. They'd been working on that for 52 years. got it done quickly. And instead of endless wars, we are forging peace in the middle East. We even got nominated, right? You know what for? That's all right. hate to talk about it, but have to because the press doesn't talk about it. No, it was great honor. It was great honor. Twice. You know that, right? Twice? The press doesn't talk about it. The Nobel Peace Prize, huh? Two for different things. For Kosovo and Serbia. We stopped them from killing each other. It was very nice, and they don't have to kill each other. Been killing each other for long time. Kosovo, Serbia. It was great. It was great. And we got nomination for Israel, and you look at Bahrain, UAE. That's just the beginning. We have them lined up that want to go into that. Well, peace in the Middle East without blood all over the sand.Donald Trump: (01:05:48)And told you. You heard the story. went home. said, "First Lady, I'm going to get the greatest stories tonight. just got nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, First Lady." The Israel, everybody said it couldn't be done. And they were right. It couldn't be done the way they were doing it. You would have never gotten it done. The way John Kerry was doing it, you would have never gotten it done. That's guy that doesn't have clue, incompetent. But you know what? said, "First Lady, wait till you see this. It's going to be unbelievable." And we watched Lester Holt. don't even know why. And we had one story after another after another, and after seven stories, said, "First Lady, this is getting little embarrassing." And they never mentioned it, nor did any other of the newscasts. Fake CNN didn't mention it. MSDNC didn't mention it. ABC, CBS. Nobody mentioned it. So was very embarrassed.Donald Trump: (01:06:46)Three days later, got nominated again. And said, "My great First Lady, we got another shot at it, darling. Let's watch the news tonight." One story, two stories, three stories, four stories, five stories. We got to the end. It wasn't mentioned again. And when Barack Hussein Obama was nominated, it was. And he didn't know what he got it for. He still doesn't. He doesn't know what he got it for. So we have little double standard going on, but that's okay. As long as we know. Sometimes I'll be talking that way and I'll look around, I'll say, "Oh, I'm in the Oval Office. Ha, ha. How did that happen?" said, "You know, with all the complaining, we're in the Oval Office, and they're not, right?" And if you don't mind, let's keep it that way, so we can keep this going.Donald Trump: (01:07:45)We've achieved more in 47 months than Joe Biden has achieved in 47 years. It's true. Biden, without even knowing it, is pushing the most far left platform in history. The Biden plan would destroy Social Security and destroy protection for people with pre-existing conditions. He would terminate our travel bans on jihadist regions. You know, got the travel ban. Remember? Everyone said you couldn't do that. want travel ban from people that want to blow up our country. Do you think that's okay?Donald Trump: (01:08:23)People said, "Oh, we don't like that." Took little heat, and we got it. They said didn't get it. And they were right. We lost at one court, lost at the second, and then we won in the Supreme Court. They don't say that. But we have strong travel ban, and we will use it. We do use it. We use it plenty. And increase refugee admissions. They want to increase refugee admissions 700%, opening the flood gates for radical Islamic terrorism. They want to ban school choice and charter schools. In second term, will provide school choice to every parent in America. Every parent. vote for Republicans is vote for safe communities, great jobs, and limitless future for all Americans. It's so true. And in conclusion, love you people, but I've been doing this since early in the morning. I'm getting the hell out of here. would only do this for Virginia. got guy, he stays in his damn basement all day long, and I'm doing this. don't know, if he wins, I'm going to be very embarrassed. I'll say, "Gee, worked so hard, and he didn't work at all." Nah, we're going to win. think we're going to win, and think we're going to win big. think we're going to. think we're going to win bigger than anyone understands.Donald Trump: (01:09:47)I think there's vote out there, there's hidden vote out there. The pollsters are fake. They're controlled by the same people that write the bad stories, the fake stories. Over the next four years, we will make America into the manufacturing superpower of the world, and we will end our reliance on China once and for all. We will hire more police, increase penalties for assaults on law enforcement, and we will ban deadly sanctuary cities. Ban them.Donald Trump: (01:10:22)We will uphold religious liberty, free speech, and the right to keep and bear arms, Virginia. We will strike down terrorists who threaten our citizens, and we will keep America out of the ridiculous, horrible, endless foreign wars, countries that you've never even heard of. We will keep you out of them. And by the way, we have weapons the likes of which nobody has ever seen before. We have level of, degree of which nobody, from Russia to China to North Korea, nobody's ever seen what we've built, and just hope to God we never have to use them. But we have never had anything like the arsenal that we've built over the last three years. Hope to God, we never have to use them.Donald Trump: (01:11:14)We're the envy of the world in that way. We have the greatest people for building this. Nobody can do what we can do. There's nobody. But when came in, your military was totally depleted. You had old planes. You had old everything. We have, now, the F-35s, and we have things, the bombers, the new bombers, the tankers, the ships that we're building, some right here, Newport News. Yeah. But we have built an arsenal, the likes of which the world has never seen. And you know what? That will make it lot easier for us not to have to use them. That's really what we need. We needed it. We were in bad shape. We were in bad shape. We will maintain America's unrivaled military might, and we will ensure peace through strength. And that's what we've done.Donald Trump: (01:12:09)We will end surprise medical billing, require price transparency, and further reduce health insurance. You know the health insurance is disaster. And we are bringing the price of health insurance way down. Premiums and costs of prescription drugs, we're instituting favored nations. We pay the highest in the world for drugs. negotiated with big pharma, and just got tired of negotiating. said, "I'm sorry. We're instituting favored nations. We're the largest purchaser of prescription drugs by far in the world." And instituted what we call favored nations clause, where we will pay the same price as the nation that pays the lowest price in the world. In addition to that, instituted rebate clause, where we get the rebates instead of the middlemen. These are the richest people. don't know who the hell they are, but the middlemen are very rich, and they're not liking me too much, and you're going to see lot of bad ads from big pharma. They've already started. Just remember every time you see one of those ads, that means your drug prices are coming way down. And mean by 50, 60, 70, and 80%.Donald Trump: (01:13:28)We'll strongly protect Medicare and Social Security. We will always protect patients with preexisting conditions. Always. Always. America will land the first woman on the moon and the United States will be the first nation to land an astronaut on Mars. We're happening quickly. And we've taken NASA from fairways ... mean, you have to see. They had fairways along like golf course. It was better golf course than it was runway. And what we've done, we've taken all the grass out. It was grass blowing right through the cracks. It was disgrace. And we've now made it the number one space center in the world by far, again. You ought to see this. They were playing golf. They were playing golf. It was all closed up, or essentially closed up. It was actually worse than closed up. You know what? It was sort of open, but nobody was doing anything. They had nothing to do.Donald Trump: (01:14:29)We have the greatest scientists in the world, and we're letting rich guys send up rockets. We like it. Somehow, rich people like to send rockets up. We say, just pay us nice rent and have lot of fun sending your rockets up. But NASA is now number one in the world, again, by far, and there's no contest. And all that grass is gone.Donald Trump: (01:14:50)We will stop the radical indoctrination of our students and restore patriotic education to our schools. We will teach our children to love our country, honor our history, and always respect our great American flag. Are you listening, NFL? Are you listening, NFL? And we will live by the timeless words of our national motto, "In God We Trust."Donald Trump: (01:15:24)For years, you had president who apologized for America. Now, you have president who is standing up for America and standing up for the great people of Virginia and North Carolina. So get your friends, get your family, get your neighbors, get your coworkers, and get out and vote. There's never been more important election than this election. Early voting has already begun. Do not wait. Go out and vote. From Richmond to Roanoke, from Fredericksburg to Williamsburg, and from Norfolk to right here in Newport News, we stand on the shoulders of Virginia patriots who gave their blood, sweat, and tears for this beloved nation. Virginia is the place that gave us George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe. Now, you know, signed little document, 10 years in prison if you knock down statue or monument.Donald Trump: (01:16:42)It's amazing how you haven't seen any of that lately. They were having little fun, and now they were heading toward the Jefferson Memorial. said, "Wait minute." And predicted that. They were knocking down statues. lot of people didn't know exactly which one. said, "You better stop it because the next thing you know, they'll knock down the statue of Robert E. Lee. And they did." said, "You better stop it, or they'll be going after Thomas Jefferson and Washington and Abe Lincoln." And they started.Donald Trump: (01:17:13)And said, "What are we going to do here? have some good people." They said, because today in Congress you can't get anything done. They'd give you one day in very nice hotel. So said, "What are we going to do?" They said, "We'll take out an old law, and you can re-institute it with an executive order." said, "What does it say?" 10 years in prison, not jail. They used the word prison. said, "For what?" You knock down monument or statue, you go to jail for 10 years. said, "Give me that, then get it to my office." And signed it, and they were coming down to Washington. They were going to knock down two particular statutes that were really beautiful. And signed it, and we announced it, had news conference, got to let people know about it. Right? And the 20,000 person march turned out to be about three people, and two of them were arrested, actually, because we have ... Thanks to the fake news, we have lot of footage of people standing on the statue of Jackson, Andrew Jackson.Donald Trump: (01:18:19)Remember? They almost had the ropes. We sent in the police. The police did great job, by the way. Remember that? The ropes, they're ready to pull it down. And we said charge. And they charged. And want to tell you, they did hell of job. They were much tougher than the people with the ropes. It took them about two minutes, and that was the end of the ropes. But it was close. They got there just in time. But you know what? Since signed that, there's been no statues, no monuments that have been played with. Federal, federal. States have to do the same thing for their states. Virginia heroes made America into the single greatest nation in the history of the world, and the best is yet to come. Proud citizens like you helped build this country, and together we are taking back our country. We are returning power to you, the American people. With your help, your devotion, and your drive, we are going to keep on working. We are going to keep on fighting, and we are going to keep on winning, winning, winning. Going to win, win, win. We are one movement, one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God. And together, with the incredible people of Virginia and North Carolina, we will make America wealthy 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, Virginia. Thank you. Get out and vote. Thank you.





                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Bernie Sanders: (00:00)The crisis we face from the coronavirus is on scale of major war and we must act accordingly. Nobody knows what the number of fatalities may end up being or the number of people who may get ill, and we all hope that that number will be as low as possible. But we also have to face the truth and that is that the number of casualties may actually be even higher than what the Armed Forces experienced in World War II. In other words, we have major, major crisis and we must act accordingly.Bernie Sanders: (00:44)Therefore, it is an absolute moral imperative that our response as government, as society, as business community, and as individual citizens meet the enormity of this crisis. As people stay or work from home and are directed to quarantine, it will be easy for us to feel like we are all alone. "I'm working at home. I'm not at my office." Or that we must only worry about ourselves and think that everybody else should fend for themselves. But in my view, that would be tragic and dangerous mistake.Bernie Sanders: (01:38)If that ever was time in the modern history of our country when we are all in this together, this is that moment. Now is the time for solidarity. Now is the time to come together with love and compassion for all, including the most vulnerable people in our society who will face this pandemic from health perspective or face it from an economic perspective. If our neighbor or coworker get sick, we have the potential to become sick. If our neighbor loses his or her job, then our local community suffers and we may lose our jobs. We are in this together. If doctors and nurses and medical personnel do not have the equipment and the training and the capacity they need right now, people we know may unnecessarily face additional illness and even death. We are all in this together.Bernie Sanders: (03:05)Unfortunately, in this time of international crisis, it is clear to me, at least, that we have an administration that is largely incompetent, and whose incompetence and recklessness have threatened the lives of many, many people in our country. So today, would like to give brief overview of what, in my view, we must do to respond to this crisis.Bernie Sanders: (03:37)First and foremost, we are dealing with national emergency and the President of the United States must understand that and declare that emergency. Next, because President Trump is unwilling and unable to lead selflessly, we must immediately convene an emergency bipartisan authority of experts to support and direct response that is comprehensive, compassionate, and based first and foremost, on science and facts. In other words, Congress in bipartisan manner must take responsibility for addressing this unparalleled crisis.Bernie Sanders: (04:27)Further, we must aggressively make certain that the public sector and the private sector are strongly cooperating with each other, and we need national and state hotlines staffed with well-trained people who have the best information available. One of the aspects of the current crisis is there are people who are asking themselves, "What all the symptoms of coronavirus? Well, have cold. Do have the flu? Do have the coronavirus? Who's going to help me? Where do go to seek medical treatment? How do get test? When is that test going to be processed?" People have lot of questions, and at the statewide and federal level, we need experts to provide the necessary information to our people.Bernie Sanders: (05:17)The American people deserve transparency. Something that the current administration has fought day after day to stifle. In other words, we need to know what is happening right now in our country, in our states, and in fact, all over the world. If there was ever time for transparency and honesty and being straightforward, this is that moment. And we need that information coming from credible, respected scientific voices of which we have many in our own country and all over this world, not from politicians.Bernie Sanders: (05:57)And during crisis, we must make sure that we care for the communities most vulnerable to the health and economic pain that is coming, those in nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities. Those confined immigration detention centers, those who are currently incarcerated and in jails, and all people regardless of their immigration status.Bernie Sanders: (06:29)Unfortunately, as think the American people increasingly understand, our country is at severe disadvantage compared to every other major country on earth because we do not guarantee healthcare to all people as right. And as we speak, some 87 million Americans are either uninsured or underinsured. And when you are uninsured or underinsured, you hesitate about getting the medical care you need because you cannot afford to get that medical care. The result is that millions of our people cannot afford to go to doctor, let alone pay for coronavirus tests.Bernie Sanders: (07:20)So while we work to pass Medicare for all single-payer system, the United States government today must make it clear that in the midst of this emergency, every one in our country, regardless of income or where they live, must be able to get all of the healthcare they need without cost. Obviously, when vaccine or other effective treatment is developed, it must be free of charge. We cannot live in nation where if you have the money, you get the treatment you need to survive. But if you're working class or poor, you get to the end of the line. That would be morally unacceptable.Bernie Sanders: (08:15)Further, we need emergency funding right now for paid family and medical leave. Anyone who is sick should be able to stay home during this emergency and receive their paycheck. What we do not want to see is at time when half of our people are living paycheck to paycheck, when they need to go to work in order to take care of their family, we do not want to see people going to work who are sick and who can spread the coronavirus.Bernie Sanders: (08:53)We also need an immediate expansion of community health centers in this country so that every American will have access to nearby healthcare facility. Where do go? How do get test? How do get the results of that test? We need greatly to expand our primary healthcare capabilities in this country and that includes expanding community health centers.Bernie Sanders: (09:17)We need to determine the status of our testing and processing for the coronavirus. The government must respond aggressively to make certain that we in fact have the latest and most effective tests available and the quickest means of processing those tests. There are other countries around the world who are doing better than we are in that regard. We should be learning from them.Bernie Sanders: (09:47)No one, none of the medical experts that have talked to dispute that there is major shortage of ICU units and ventilators that are needed to respond to this crisis. The federal government must work aggressively with the private sector to make sure that this equipment is available to hospitals and the rest of the medical community.Bernie Sanders: (10:15)Our current healthcare system does not have the doctors and nurses we currently need. We are understaffed. During this crisis, we need to mobilize medical residents, retired medical professionals and other medical personnel to help us deal with this crisis. We need to make sure that doctors, nurses, and medical professionals have the instructions and personal protective equipment that they need. This is not only because we care about the well-being of medical professionals, but if they go down, then our capability to respond to this crisis is significantly diminished.Bernie Sanders: (10:59)The pharmaceutical industry must be told in no uncertain terms that the medicines that they manufacturer for this crisis will be sold at cost. This is not the time for price gouging or profiteering.Bernie Sanders: (11:19)The coronavirus is already causing global economic meltdown, which is impacting people throughout the world and in our own country, and it is especially dangerous for low income and working class families. People who today, before the crisis, are struggling economically. Instead of providing more tax breaks to the top 1% in large corporations, we need to provide economic assistance to the elderly. And worry very much about elderly people in this country today, many of whom are isolated, many of whom do not have lot of money. We need to worry about those who are already sick. We need to worry about working families with children, people with disabilities, the homeless, and all those who are vulnerable.Bernie Sanders: (12:19)We need to provide in that context, emergency unemployment assistance to anyone in this country who loses their job through no fault of their own. Right now, 23% of those who are eligible to receive unemployment compensation do not receive it. Under our proposal, everyone who loses job must qualify for unemployment compensation at least 100% of their prior salary with cap of $1,150 week or $60,000 year. In addition, those who depend on tips in the restaurant industry is suffering very much from the meltdown. Those who depend on tips, gig workers, domestic workers, and independent contractors must also qualify for unemployment insurance to make up for the income that they lose during this crisis.Bernie Sanders: (13:19)We need to make sure that the elderly, people with disabilities and families with children have access to nutritious food. That means expanding the Meals on Wheels Program. It means expanding the school lunch program and SNAP so that no one goes hungry during this crisis, and everyone who cannot leave their home can receive nutritious meals delivered directly to where they live.Bernie Sanders: (13:52)We need also in this economic crisis to place an immediate moratorium on evictions, on foreclosures, and on utility shutoffs so that no one loses their home during this crisis; and that everyone has access to clean water, electricity, heat and air conditioning.Bernie Sanders: (14:17)We need to construct emergency homeless shelters to make sure that the homeless, survivors of domestic violence and college students quarantined off campus are able to receive the shelter, the healthcare and the nutrition they need.Bernie Sanders: (14:35)We need to provide emergency lending to small and medium size businesses to cover payroll, new construction of manufacturing facilities and production of emergency supplies such as masks and ventilators, very serious problem right now in the midst of this crisis.Bernie Sanders: (14:57)Here is the bottom line, and that bottom line is that in the midst of this unprecedented moment, we need to listen to the scientists, to the researchers, to the medical folks, not to politicians. We need an emergency response to the current emergency and we needed it immediately. We need more doctors and nurses in underserved areas. We need to make sure that workers who lose their jobs in this crisis receive the unemployment assistance they need. And in this moment, in this moment, we need to make sure that in the future, after this crisis is behind us, we build healthcare system that makes sure that every person in this country is guaranteed the healthcare that they need. Thank you all very much.Reporters: (15:56)Senator? Senator? Senator? Senator?Speaker 3: (15:58)Senator, do you consider going back to Washington and the Senate?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Arturo Vargas: (00:00)... the issues raised in our plenary sessions yesterday. Please visit our service project site and participate in the fundraising challenge to support the Farmworkers' COVID-19 Pandemic Relief Fund and the Las Vegas based nonprofit food bank, Three Square. We couldn't be in Las Vegas in person this year, yet we can still support our community there. Please also consider making direct contribution to these causes. For those of you who have shared with us the memory of loved ones who you have lost COVID-19 on our remembrance and healing wall, we share in your grief and extend our deepest sympathy. Please visit the site on the conference experience to share your thoughts. We will get through this together.Arturo Vargas: (00:48)Now, want to kick off this final portion of our NALEO 37th annual conference by introducing one of our presidential sponsors and hosts of today's forum, Wells Fargo, represented by Mr. William M. Daley, vice chairman of public affairs at Wells Fargo and company. Wells Fargo has been loyal supporter of the work we do at NALEO. With Wells Fargo's support, we are able to provide our members with year-round networking opportunities, vital and cutting edge policy and discussions and other critical resources that help them in their work on the front lines of government. Wells Fargo also served as the chair of this year's Edward R. Roybal Legacy Gala on March 11th. Now, that was the last time we were able to hold an in-person event. It was then that Eric Hoplin, head of external relations, announced that Wells Fargo's ATMs would feature message encouraging participation in the 2020 census as result of our work together.Arturo Vargas: (01:52)Now as vice chairman of public affairs for Wells Fargo, Mr. Daley helps facilitate key relationships like ours. Prior to serving as President Obama's chief of staff from 2010 to 2012, Mr. Daley worked in the private sector, and he also served as Secretary of Commerce in the Clinton Administration. It was then when he last joined us for NALEO 15th Annual Conference in 1998, as we were preparing for the 2000 census. So please join me in welcoming back to the NALEO Annual Conference, virtually key partner, friend to our mission, our staff and our members. Please welcome the honorable William M. Daley, vice chairman of public affairs at Wells Fargo and Company. Welcome Mr. Daley.William Daley: (02:40)Thank you very much, Arturo. We are pleased at Wells Fargo to be back at NALEO once again, and being sponsor and host of this most important forum. It's great being back with friends and to have the opportunity to spend minute or two to speak before we get to the really important things. hope you and all the families of the people in on this call are staying healthy and are being careful. This is an unprecedented time in our nation and around the world. Communities, particularly diverse and underserved communities, are suffering mightily. There's lot of uncertainty about our future, and we're not totally sure what the future holds for the pandemic. We must all work together to help the hardest hit recover.William Daley: (03:28)At Wells Fargo, we have already committed more than 175 million to address food insecurity, housing and other emergency needs during this COVID crisis. We are also donating all gross PPP fees, which are around $400 million, to help small businesses, particularly minority-owned businesses so they can survive and recover when things get better. At the same time, our country is facing long overdue reckoning around racial equity, and the private sector must be part of this effort like no time before. Wells Fargo has made number of important commitments on that front, including the creation of new diversity leader whose position is about really trying to figure out what we do as business in diverse communities and how we can provide better services, products, and be greater involved in those communities. And also, our senior leadership will have their compensation connected to the progress they meet in meeting our diversity goals.William Daley: (04:37)One of the most critical things to do, as Arturo mentioned, is to get an accurate census count. When was Secretary of Commerce in 2000, as Arturo said, oversaw the census, which is one of the most important traditions in our democracy. I'm proud to be involved again at Wells Fargo, for we are formerly encouraging our employees and those in our communities to do their civic duty by being counted. We're running ads on over 13,000 ATMs across the country and promoting the census through social media and other media channels. We have also been urging our employees to register and make plans to vote early if they're able to, during this most important election year. Like you, we do believe that every vote matters. Speaking of elections, I'm eager to hear from my friend, vice president, Joe Biden, so will wrap it up by saying, we are extremely proud at Wells Fargo to not only be involved with NALEO, but to be involved with so many members in NALEO at the local level around the country. So again, Arturo, thank you for the opportunity to be involved, and it's back to you and the vice president. Thank you very much.Arturo Vargas: (05:58)Thank you, Bill. We really appreciate your support and the support of Wells Fargo, and we look forward to working with you in the coming years to make sure that we're able to do all that we can to fulfill our mission at the NALEO Educational Fund. Now I'm really excited to begin our presidential candidate forum. One of the main purposes of the NALEO Annual Conference is to bring together the nation's top leaders and Latino policy makers together to engage in critical conversations about the future of our country. During presidential election years, like this one, we invite candidates running for their party's nominations and those who become presumptive nominees. am delighted to welcome back to the NALEO Annual Conference the honorable Joe Biden, the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee for President of the United States. We also extended an invitation to President Donald Trump to join us.Arturo Vargas: (06:58)Mr. Vice President, we look forward to learning about your vision for the future of the nation and of the U.S. Latino community, and most critically, how you will address the challenges that we face. The strength of our democracy is being tested by the crises of COVID-19, misinformation, interference in our elections and the barriers to voting and to fair and accurate 2020 census. The Latino community has been disproportionately affected by the pandemic, suffering higher rates of infection and tragic deaths, and have been economically devastated. We look forward to hearing how Latinos will be equitably included in COVID-19 health and economic recovery efforts, and how would your administration address existing disparities.Arturo Vargas: (07:49)We continue to look for courageous leadership to finally create fair and humane immigration system and comprehensive reform that modernizes our obsolete approach to this issue. Latinos look to our leaders with the expectation that those at the very top of government will spearhead voting rights agenda that protects the right to vote for all Americans. These are just some of the issues that are important to Latinos. Indeed, every American issue is Latino issue. Many of these issues have been addressed through this virtual NALEO 37th Annual Conference, so in the spirit of continuing this conversation, am happy to welcome the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, Vice President Joe Biden. Welcome.Joe Biden: (08:43)Hello, NALEO. How are you? Good to see you again, Arturo. want to say special hi to my good friend, and he is my good friend, Secretary Daley. Billy, it's been long time, pal. Glad to see you looking so well. look forward to seeing you pretty soon. I'm honored to be with you all today, and want to start by thanking Arturo for this opportunity to share my vision for Latinos in our country. If have the honor of being elected president, want to thank you for your opening remarks, and I'm going to need you if get elected. Not just getting elected, if get elected.Joe Biden: (09:21)Throughout our decades and your decades, think go way back. may have been at that 39 years ago when you started, decades leading NALEO Education Fund. We've seen lot of ups and downs in the Latino community, but none more stark than the last three and half years. Donald Trump and his administration have pursued an all out assault. That's how phrase it, assault on Latino communities, from the moment he came down that golden escalator saying he was going to go after those Mexicans rapists. Remember? That's how he started his campaign. It started the moment he announced his presidency, fanning the flames of fear and racism against Latinos.Joe Biden: (10:02)The flames of fear and racism against Latinos. It's baked into every aspect of how he's governed. And this week was an especially poignant reminder of the terrible consequence, allowing that kind of hate to grow, to grow unchecked. You know, thought we could defeat hate, but and it only hides under the rocks. And when president breathes oxygen in, it comes out roaring out.Joe Biden: (10:25)On Monday, we marked the one year anniversary of the tragic mass shooting in El Paso, where gunman explicitly sought to target Latinos and 23 beautiful lives were stolen from us and their families. know what it's like to lose child. And know what it was like to lose wife. It is awful. It is starkly. shouldn't get started. You know, the stakes of Trump's irresponsible policies of division and hate that he promotes is real. These are life and death decisions. Whether it's repeated attacks on Dreamers or his campaign of terror against immigrant communities, whether it's his neglect of the people of Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, which is outrageous or his repeated failures to make sure essential workers have the personal protective equipment they need. Donald Trump has failed the Latino community time and time again.Joe Biden: (11:25)So the question you ask Arturo, how are we going to make real better life for Latinos? That's the key question, and the future of our country literally depends on how we answer it. That's how important it is. Because here's the God's honest truth, the future success that our country are going to depend on our ability to make sure Latinos have opportunities and the tools to succeed. Latino is among the fastest growing population in the United States. Already one quarter of our school children, one quarter of our school children are Latino. How in God's name can we have strong and thriving Republic if we don't fully deal Latinos into every aspect of American life? These kids are not someone else's kids, they're our kids. The kite strings that lift our national ambitions aloft.Joe Biden: (12:16)That's why earlier this week released my Latino agenda. Things I've been working on all along and you know about, but put them all in one place. It's comprehensive plan for not just how we're going to undo all the harms that the Trump administration has inflicted, but how we're going to really make sure Latinos are included in our plans to build back and build back better. That means investing in Latino's economics mobility, because that's the best basis of it all, economic mobility. Everything from making sure Latino small business owners can access capital to making it easy for Latino families to buy home to build intergenerational wealth. How did every other middle class person do it when they came here? They were able to ultimately buy home and build equity in the home and pass it on from generation to generation.Joe Biden: (13:10)One of the four planks of my Build Back Better plan is about addressing racial inequities across the entire economy. It's about breaking the cycle where in good times, Latino communities still lag behind. In bad times, they get hit first and the hardest as you referenced, Arturo. And in recovery, they take the longest to bounce back and only get back to where they were at the beginning, which wasn't good place to begin with. We're going to use every tool at our disposal to take on these inequities.Joe Biden: (13:39)My Latino agenda also focused on any race based health disparities. Latinos were among the biggest beneficiaries of the Affordable Care Act with millions gaining insurance for the first time. The uninsured rate dropped from 32% to 19%, and my plan would bring it down to zero. That's what an incredible win, it was significant win for Latino community. But now in the midst of pandemic, when almost 160,000 dead, those families lost part of their soul, part of their heart. Donald Trump is trying to strip people off their healthcare coverage in court in the middle of pandemic. And Latinos are burying some of the heaviest burdens, go through the higher rates of infection and because Latinos disproportionately serve in caregiving roles on the frontline jobs and increase the risk of exposure and save other people. It's unconscionable.Joe Biden: (14:39)I'm going to protect Obamacare and build on it with public option, so every single person can have access to high-quality, affordable healthcare. When it comes to fighting this pandemic, we have to be crystal clear. Everyone gets free access to testing and treatment. And when it's available, vaccine, everyone gets it. We have to fight this virus without regard to immigrant status. That's the only way we're going to beat this thing. And it's only humane thing to do.Joe Biden: (15:12)We're also going to expand access to high-quality education and take on the racial inequities in our education system. That starts early. We are making sure high-quality pre-K is available to every child, three and four years old. Because the studies show that increases exponentially the prospects of success through the entire 12 years. It goes all the way through making sure post high school education is affordable for Latino students, ensuring public colleges and universities are tuition free for families making less than $125,000 year, doubling Pell Grants, $12,000, increasing funding for Hispanic serving institutions.Joe Biden: (15:54)I started today by speaking about the tragedy in El Paso one year ago. We also know Latinos suffer every day from hate crimes and gun violence. It doesn't always make national headlines. Under the Biden administration, we're going to get weapons of war and high capacity magazines out of our communities. I'm going to take the fight directly to the NRA and hold gun manufacturers accountable for the damage they caused to Latino families. Finally, we're going to restore our values as nation of immigrants.Joe Biden: (16:27)Trump fails to understand the basic truth of immigrants. That they're the incredible source of our nation's strength and they always have been. All the way back to the 1860s, when my Irish ancestors jumped on coffin ships in the Irish sea, not knowing where they are going, not knowing whether they're going to make it to the shore all the way to today. There's the reason we've been able to constantly renew and remake ourselves because we've been able to cherry pick the best of every culture. It takes courage to leave and come here from every continent, from every background. That's why we're who we are.Joe Biden: (17:03)If I'm elected president, we're going to immediately end Trump's assault on the dignity of immigrant communities. We're going to restore our moral standing in the world and our historic role as safe haven for refugees and asylum seekers, and those fleeing violence and persecution. My Lord, we've never made asylum seekers stay, seek asylum outside the United States of America. We're going to stop the inhumane practice of separating children from their parents and work to reunite families. Look at all the families that are not reunited. We're going to stop detaining people and definitely invest instead on case management programs to help ensure migrants get the support they need while they're navigating the asylum process. It's going to cost lot of money, but it's hell of lot cheaper than building wall. We're going to restore sensible enforcement priorities and stop terrorizing Latino communities.Joe Biden: (17:59)The idea is you wait outside the 10 o'clock mass to grab someone from church. The anxiety for the children, the anxiety is overwhelming. It's going to have profound impact on generation. We're going to protect Dreamers and their families, and every single agreement that the Trump administration signed to turn local law enforcement and immigration officials. On day one, I'm going to send Congress bill for immigration reform. We'll focus on keeping families together. It's about families, including providing clear roadmap to citizenship for 11 million undocumented alien and undocumented immigrants. Stop treating them the way they're being treated. We're going to live in enriching our communities every single day.Joe Biden: (18:51)I know that's pretty big agenda, but this is moment to get it done. The pandemic has lift the blinders off so many people in this country on who's really essential to our economic strength. It's not Wall Street bankers or CEOs. The middle class hardworking union members fighting for the rights of all workers, the folks in the Latino community who are busting their necks every day to keep the country running. And believe, really do believe we're ready to close the respect gap, the dignity gap, the wage gap, the opportunity gap. So many Latino workers have suffered for so long.Joe Biden: (19:34)You know my dad used to have an expression, he say, "Joey ..." When he lost the job up in Scranton and we had to move down to Delaware and my dad never went to college. He was graceful, good man. He used to say, "Joey, job's about lot more than paycheck. It's about your dignity. It's about respect. It's about honor. It's about being able to look your kid in the eye and say, 'Honey, it's going to be okay.'" That's what we're going to do. Dignity, honor, treating people.Joe Biden: (20:03)... Do, dignity, honor, treating people with dignity. We can build new administration that reflects the full diversity of our nation, and the full diversity of the Latino communities. Now, when mean full diversity, unlike the African-American community and many other communities, you're from everywhere. They're from Europe, from the tip of South America, all the way to our border in Mexico and in the Caribbean. And different backgrounds. Different ethnicities, but all Latinos. We're going to get chance to do that if we win in November. It means we need everyone to get out and vote. can't do this without your help.Joe Biden: (20:49)The path to victory in November is contingent upon Latino voters, particularly in those battleground states. I'm committed to speaking directly to the concerns of the Latino community and to mobilizing Latino voters. have significant staff. We're trying to advertise on Latino stations, on Spanish-speaking stations. We need every single voter to sign up and get engaged in our campaign. We need you to get out and vote with your family and your friends. And make sure that people know how to register and how to vote safely during the pandemic.Joe Biden: (21:27)We need to provide voters with more options, not fewer. Need to expand the option for participation. No excuse absentee ballots, when you get an absentee ballot just because you need one and want one. Increased in-person early voting. Have enough poll workers who can sanitize the machines and make sure we can socially distance and wearing masks. lot of taking away meaningful opportunities to go in-person on election day. Our campaign is putting together the largest voter protection effort in the United States' history because we know that we have to. We've already seen the impact that the pandemic has had on voting rights and voting during the primaries. We know. We know that voter suppression was alive and well in America before the public health crisis.Joe Biden: (22:18)And make no mistake about it, as you pointed out, the Census is part of this, too. Everyone needs to be counted. Four former Census Bureau directors who have worked under nine presidents, both Democrats and Republicans, have called on the Senate and the administration to work to extend the deadline so we'd get an accurate count. Arturo, you mentioned the Voting Rights Act at the beginning. Well, today happens to be the 55th anniversary of its enactment. worked like hell to strengthen and extend that Voting Act when was chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. Throughout my career, going back to 1975, back then, in 2013 though the Supreme Court came along and stripped the teeth out of the Voting Rights Act. It's of the preclearance provision, they said was no longer necessary. I'm going to make sure it's reinserted if the Congress doesn't get it done in the remaining months of this Congress.Joe Biden: (23:18)Just last year, 29 states, 29 states introduced or carried over bills that tried to make it harder for people to vote. This blatantly Unamerican. Our democracy, one person, one vote. That's the very heart of who we are. And if the Senate, Republican Senate, Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump, don't take up the bill, newly renamed in honor of my friend John Lewis to restore the Voting Rights Act to its full power, will make it priority on day one that we do that if I'm elected president.Joe Biden: (23:59)So, guess what really want to say is just thank you. Thank you for the opportunity to speak. And thank you again, Arturo, and everyone at NALEO for the work you've been doing. You make the country stronger. You make us all better. That's not hyperbole. You make us all better, and the country is better, stronger, more prosperous, more decent, more honorable if we, in fact, reach out and embrace the largest population of immigrants in the United States and include them across the board. It's source of amazing strength for us. What said, "I think because this COVID crisis and unemployment crisis" think the American people are seeing that now. Least hope that's the case. I'm going to need your help if I'm elected to get all this done.Joe Biden: (24:57)May God bless you all, and may God protect our troops. Thank you.Arturo Vargas: (25:05)Thank you, Mr. Vice President for your remarks and thank you for joining us at this virtual NALEO annual conference. We wish we could have met in person, but hope that should you be successful in your quest for election that you will join us next year in person at the NALEO 38th annual conference. More than anything else, we look forward to both political parties, both campaigns, and both candidates to engage Latino voters across all 50 states, so that Latino voters understand what's at stake in this election and they can make an informed ballot. We need both candidates to fight for the Latino vote.Arturo Vargas: (25:52)So, now we are at the final part of our time together in this virtual NALEO 37th annual conference, the conference wrap-up. Thank you all for joining us and for being part of the NALEO familia during these extraordinary times. If this was your first time attending an NALEO event, hope it was worthwhile, and that you'll consider becoming an NALEO lifetime member.Arturo Vargas: (26:18)I would like to thank another of our presidential sponsors, and the host of today's conference wrap-up, Edison International. Their support has been invaluable in our ability to reach and serve our community and to reach our nation's Latino elected and appointed officials. Edison's track record of community engagement and giving back to build better tomorrow is part of their commitment to service, promise that has realized their support of organizations like ours. So, please welcome Pedro Pizarro, president and chief executive officer of Edison International.Pedro Pizarro: (26:56)Hi, Pedro Pizarro here again from Edison International. Thank you for attending the conference. We look forward to welcoming you in Hollywood, California next year.Arturo Vargas: (27:10)Thank you, Pedro, and Edison International for all you do in support of our organization. You know, we have reiterated how Latino elected and appointed officials need on the front lines of government as our nation continues to endure this crisis. But just because we are dealing with the pandemic does not mean that all other issues important to our communities disappear. This is why good leadership requires new, innovative strategies and collaboration for tackling the public policy issues our communities face.Arturo Vargas: (27:44)Our next guest is one of those Latino leaders. Serving as the mayor of one of the largest cities in the United States, please welcome my own mayor and member of the NALEO board of directors, Los Angeles mayor, Eric Garcetti.Eric Garcetti: (28:01)Thank you, Arturo. It is always pleasure to be with my NALEO family, and it's my great honor to follow Vice President Biden, dear friend who asked me to be one of his national co-chairs and find running mate. Somebody who's been committed to our communities for his entire public life. also want to acknowledge Edison International for helping to make this conference possible. And my fellow NALEO board members who are source of strength and light every day for me and for this country. look forward to this conference every year because it's an opportunity to see friends, familiar faces, and to plan our future. To feel the power and potential of our extraordinary coalition. And though we can't be together physically this year, our connections are unwavering. Our coalition is as strong as ever, and our vision is clear, for more just America, place where everyone belongs and nation that lives up to it's promise. Just as it did for my family and for many of yours.Eric Garcetti: (29:02)The barriers to those goals are always tough to scale, and in this moment of crisis, they seem nearly insurmountable. As we face virus that's struck every community but hit us, Latino families and people of color, with devastating force. recession that's shaken every sector, but delivered too many knockout punches to too many of our workers struggling to pay rent, and immigrants cut off from federal relief. Census count that's been politically compromised and cut short for every community, but leaves so much hanging in the balance for cities and states with large Latinx populations.Eric Garcetti: (29:37)COVID-19 has affected all of us, but has not affected all of us equally. In my City of Angels, we saw these challenges early and rose to meet them, bringing testing to all residents, regardless of immigration status. Quadrupling test sites in areas with Black and Latinx residents. And establishing the largest emergency rental program in the nation. We deployed unprecedented Census resources to reach neighborhoods usually-Eric Garcetti: (30:03)... precedented census resources to reach neighborhoods usually undercounted. And we provided critical cash assistance to more than 100,000 of our neighbors on the brink of financial ruin, nearly 44% of whom were Latino and Latina. We did all of this work because it was right and it was smart and it was just. But let's not mince words. There are clear reasons why Latinos have fewer resources to weather this storm, why we're dying more, why we're losing our jobs more than any other group, and it didn't need to be this way. This is what happens when the administration rolls back worker protections. This is what happens when government launches full scale years long assault on immigrants and their families. Takes parents away from children, forces dreamers and their loved ones back into the shadows. This is what happens when leaders create climate of fear and tell people to go back to places they've never lived.Eric Garcetti: (30:59)When they seek to strip America of the very communities, culture, the legacy, the histories that have made us who we are. Well, our community knows what it's like to struggle and to defy the odds. We've been here before and we know how to move forward. To write new Capito, chapter of ours, because our heritage is of ordinary people who have built coalition stronger than any unjust policy. Who've made changes that endured long after the abuses faded away. spirit that lifted up farm workers who rose up alongside Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, who marched and organized and fought until the rights achieved in the fields of Delano rang out across this nation. That mission that motivated leaders throughout California to stand up against Prop 187 and that awakened new coalition that permanently changed the face of politics in my state and that is changing in all of yours as well.Eric Garcetti: (31:54)That tradition is what America's first Chicano poet laureate, Juan Felipe Herrera, meant when he wrote [foreign language 00:02:02], freedom comes from deep inside. And that history and deep well of experiences endured, obstacles overcomed, that is our strength. What gives us confidence that even in this difficult hour, we will summon persistence and perseverance and passion to keep pushing forward. wish that we were all gathered in one place to do that hard work face-to-face. And think in year's time, I'm hopeful that we will be again. And I'm thrilled to announce that the NALEO Conference will be here in the City of Angeles in 2021.Eric Garcetti: (32:40)But whether we're socially distanced or physically together, we can and we will unlock the power of our partnership. And by this time next year, know we will look back and say, this was the year our communities took to the polls in record numbers to send an unmistakable message to Washington. That this was the year our voices carried from city halls and state capitals to the chambers of Congress and the corridors of Le Casablanca. And this was the year we didn't just respond to an unprecedented crisis, but we reimagined what this country can be and reaffirmed our promise to all of our people.Eric Garcetti: (33:19)My friends, [foreign language 00:03:20]. Let's get to work now. And with that, it is my deepest honor to introduce dear friend and colleague, the leader of my city's city council, the first Latina City Council president in the history of our city, [foreign language 00:03:36] Nury Martinez.Nury Martinez: (33:42)Hello everyone, I'm LA Council President, Nury Martinez. The City of Los Angeles cannot wait to see you at the NALEO Conference in Los Angeles in 2021. As we wrap up this year's virtual conference, want to offer few words of hope, optimism, and little reminder about who we are as Latinos in what are clearly dark times. Our Latinx community is under attacked on all fronts, from president who has attacked us from day one and who continues to attack us. And COVID-19 is attacking our community, killing Latinos at higher rate than any other community, because so many of our people do not have the luxury to work from home.Nury Martinez: (34:22)So what are we to do about this? We fight. That's what Cesar Chavez taught us and that's what John Lewis taught us and that's what Dolores Huerta teaches us, fight and make good trouble. We need to fight to elect president who supports our community and our fundamental rights as Latinos to live, grow, and prosper in this country. As daughter of the working poor, Mexican immigrant from the city Zacatecas, growing up, little girls who look like me and talk like me were not supposed to end up in positions like this. And while am honored to be the first Latina City Council president in 170 years in the city's history, must not be the last. There is no governmental body that women should not have chance to lead anywhere in the United States, especially women of color. So call on all of you, especially Latino men, to empower and uplift strong Latinas to run for office and to the positions of power that we so richly deserve. So let's continue to make good trouble my friends.Arturo Vargas: (35:32)Thank you, Mayor Garcetti and Council President, Martinez. And can't tell you how much wish that we will be able to gather everyone in-person next year here in the City of Angeles. So now our last guest is part of very important relationship to our organization. The ability to collaborate, disseminate, and educate the public alongside trusted media partners is critical part of the work that we do. Our relationship with Comcast NBCUniversal Telemundo has been part of the foundation with which our organization has been able to reach our community and to do the work we set out to accomplish.Arturo Vargas: (36:12)That is why we would like to thank Comcast NBCUniversal Telemundo for their support as our national media sponsor for this year's Virtual NALEO 37th Annual Conference. Your support for our organization has proven to be instrumental in accomplishing our mission. Our partnership with Telemundo has created driving force of trustworthy and useful information, thoughtfully disseminated to consumers, the Spanish language media. From citizenship days to national census days to the various campaign efforts in which we have joined together, Telemundo has been an integral part of what has become an essential lasting partnership. That is why we see Comcast NBCUniversal Telemundo as an unparalleled partner and an ally to our organization. Please welcome Christina Kolbjornsen, Telemundo Senior Vice President of Corporate and External Affairs.Christina Kolbjornsen: (37:13)Thank you Arturo. Once again, we are so proud to be your partner doing NALEO's first virtual conference. The conference focused on many of the same important issues that NBCUniversal Telemundo continues to report on such as the COVID-19 pandemic, census, and of course, the 2020 elections. am very proud to announce that Telemundo will join NALEO Education Fund on Wednesday, August 19th, for NALEO's Convention Briefing series. It will be the first time ever in the organization's history that they will hold both an English and all Spanish discussion with renowned political experts and strategists during the two political conventions.Christina Kolbjornsen: (37:58)With more than 14. 6 million Latino voters expected to cast ballots this November, that Latino community is poised to play decisive role in the outcome of the 2020 presidential election and other key races throughout the nation. The convention briefings will focus on the growth of the Latino electorate nationwide and in key battleground states, the success of Latino candidates and the various issues that are likely to affect Latino turnout this year. We are grateful for our shared mission and look forward to being back together in Los Angeles next year.Arturo Vargas: (38:45)Thanks Christina. And once again, thank you Telemundo for your support. And we look forward to the partnership with our Convention Briefings. Now, that is another NALEO tradition that we began in the 2000 presidentials cycle. Every four years, we bring to the national conventions, conversation-

the world of facing an unprecedented series of crises. We're dealing with the coronavirus, which is spreading throughout this country and throughout the world. We're dealing with growing economic meltdown, which will impact tens of millions of workers in this country. We are dealing with political crisis as well.Bernie Sanders: (00:32)And think the main point to be made tonight is that in this moment of crisis, it is imperative that we stand together, understand that right now throughout this country, there are so many of our people wondering, what is going to happen to me tomorrow in my own city? Burlington, Vermont, laws have been shut down. restaurants shutdown, showcase centers shut down, schools shutdown. What happens to all the people who lose their jobs? What happens to the people who tonight are worried that they may have the coronavirus but don't have the resources to get the tests they need or the treatment that they need.Bernie Sanders: (01:12)So this is moment that we have got to be working together and going forward together. And what wanted to do tonight along with you is to talk about series of proposals that we all working on right now and will introduce to the democratic leadership as to how we can best go forward. And in this unprecedented moment this will require an unprecedented amount of money and my own guess is that we'll be spending at least $2 trillion in funding to prevent deaths, job losses, and to avoid an economic catastrophe.Bernie Sanders: (01:56)So let me just go over some of the issues and we'll be posting these ideas tomorrow up on our website, berniesanders.com. And this is what would like because we certainly don't know it all we want to hear from you, not only your ideas about how we can best go forward, talk about your experiences. In every state there is different level of crisis, in every occupation there is different level of concern.Bernie Sanders: (02:23)So please communicate with us so we can get the best understanding possible about what's going on in our country and how together we can come up with some effective remedies.Bernie Sanders: (02:35)Let me start off with the basics and that is obviously from my perspective and know from all of your perspectives. We need to make certain that everybody in our country who needs to go to doctor can get the healthcare they need regardless of their income. This is kind of no-brainer. It's something that should have happened in our country many, many years ago. But in the midst of this crisis, what believe we must do is empower Medicare to cover all medical bills during this emergency.Bernie Sanders: (03:10)Now, this is not Medicare for all. We can't pass that right now, but what this does say is that if you're uninsured, if you are under insured, if you have high deductibles, if you have high copayments, if you have out of pocket expenses, Medicare will cover those expenses so that everybody, regardless of their healthcare needs, and I'm not just talking about the coronavirus, but their health care needs in the midst of this crisis, will get all the healthcare that they need. That is what we should be doing in this moment of crisis.Bernie Sanders: (03:47)We need to make sure furthermore, that as we go forward, we are effectively prepared to deal with the healthcare crisis that we're facing and that means that we need to make sure that the hospitals have all of the ICU units and the ventilators that are needed to respond to this crisis. What the fear is as you know, is that there will be surge of patients coming into the hospitals and that we will not have the equipment that we need to deal with that crisis.Bernie Sanders: (04:19)Now, in my view, mean, frankly, it is incomprehensible why in the wealthiest country on earth, we are not better prepared, but be that as it may, in my view right now, the federal government must work aggressively with the private sector to make certain that this equipment is available to hospitals and the rest of the medical community. In other words, federal government must take the responsibility of working with the private sector and saying, you know what, this is major priority. You're going to get the job done.Bernie Sanders: (04:51)And during this crisis, in addition, of course, we need to mobilize medical residents, people in medical school, retired medical professionals and other medical personnel to help us deal with this crisis. One of the great fears that we are facing right now is that doctors themselves and nurses themselves will become ill. And if our frontline defense in the medical profession is injured, is made sick, is not able to treat the American people, that's only going to make very difficult situation even worse.Bernie Sanders: (05:28)Furthermore, and again, this goes without saying, it's something that should have been done, It has to be done immediately. We must massively increase the availability of test kits, test kits for coronavirus and the speed at which the tests are processed. We must look to successful coronavirus testing models in other countries and throughout our own country and implement best practices here. And right now there are communities and states all over this country that do not have the test kits. It's taking too long to get the results. We've got to aggressively address that.Bernie Sanders: (06:07)In my view, we need to use existing emergency authority under the Defense Production Act to dramatically scale up production in the United States of critical supplies such as masks, ventilators, and protective equipment that our healthcare workers need. It is again, quite unbelievable, but we have short supply of masks, and if the doctors and nurses don't have the masks that they need, it's going to be very difficult for them to provide the care that patients require.Bernie Sanders: (06:41)We need to utilize the national guard, the Army Corps of Engineers and other military resources to deal with this crisis. Today our armed forces must be immediately activated to build mobile hospitals and testing facilities, assist providers reopen hospitals that have been shut down and expand our healthcare capacity in underserved areas. One of the ongoing crisis is that our healthcare system faces in many parts of this country under the best of times, people can't find doctor or hospital 200 miles away from them. That's not acceptable and we have to address that reality in the midst of this crisis today.Bernie Sanders: (07:25)We need to dramatically expand community health centers, which provide primary care, dental care and mental health care, as well as low cost prescription drugs to nearly 30 million Americans, including some of the poorest and most vulnerable. We have primary healthcare system which is in very, very bad shape. Even people who have insurance having hard time in many cases finding the doctors that they need.Bernie Sanders: (07:55)So expanding community health centers will be significant step forward in making sure that there are locations where people can get the testing they need, get the treatment that they need, get the healthcare that they need in general. And while we are making sure that all of our people have the healthcare that they need, we must also respond to the growing economic crisis that this pandemic is causing.Bernie Sanders: (08:24)That means that we must make sure that everyone who has job right now receives the paychecks that they need and does not lose their income. As we speak right now, think about the millions of workers who are being laid off in the tourism industry, in the fast food industry, in the restaurant industry, in the transportation industry. These are folks who don't have lot of money as all of you know, some 40% of the people in this country cannot afford $400 emergency. So people are sitting out there and they're saying, "My God, what am going to do? How do take care of my families?" And that has got, got to be the major, major economic priority that we address. How do we take care of the working families of this country who are negatively impacted by this crisis?Bernie Sanders: (09:17)Small and medium size businesses, especially those in severely impacted industries such as restaurants, bars, and local retail need immediate relief. We must tell these businesses who are being forced to lay off, in some cases their entire staff or possibly even shut down through no fault of their own, that we will not allow them to go out of business. The federal government will work with affected businesses to provide direct payroll costs for small and medium-sized businesses to keep workers employed until this crisis has passed.Bernie Sanders: (09:57)In other words, bottom line here, most important point is workers need to continue to get paycheck even when their businesses are shut down.Bernie Sanders: (10:08)Further, we need to provide direct emergency $2,000 cash payment to every household in America every month for the duration of the crisis to provide them with the assistance they need to pay their bills and take care of their families. Now we're throwing out lot of ideas and when you deal with the United States Congress, you don't get everything that you want. There will be picking and choosing here and there, but think it's important for us tonight to discuss the various options that they have. And one of those options is to make sure that people at least getting $2,000 month check to take care of their basic needs.Bernie Sanders: (10:48)And importantly, we must make certain that the government is getting this money into the hands of working families and the most vulnerable as quickly as possible. In other words, we don't want some kind of bureaucratic arrangement. We were talking about this for weeks and months and people do not get the help that they need. We must provide emergency unemployment assistance to anyone who loses their job through no fault of their own. Under the proposal that am working on, everyone who loses job must qualify for unemployment compensation at 100% of their prior salary with cap of $75,000 year.Bernie Sanders: (11:31)In addition, those who depend on tips, waiters and waitresses and others, gig workers, domestic workers, freelancers, and independent contractors must also qualify for unemployment insurance to make up for the income that they lose during this crisis. think as many of you know, unemployment compensation does not cover every worker in America. There are millions of people exempt from unemployment. We have got to deal with that right now. It doesn't matter what work you're doing. If you lose your job, you need unemployment.Bernie Sanders: (12:03)Further, we need to make certain that seem as people with disabilities and families with children have access to decent quality food. That means expanding the Meals on Wheels program, the school meals program and food stamps so that no one goes hungry during this crisis and everyone who cannot leave that home can receive nutritious meals delivered directly to where they live. In other words, that's as basic as you can get in America during this crisis, people must not go hungry.Bernie Sanders: (12:40)We must place an immediate moratorium on evictions, on foreclosures and utility shutoffs and suspend payment on mortgage loans for primary residences and utility bills. In other words, it would be unacceptable that people could lose their homes, lose their apartments, see electricity or gas shutoffs during this crisis, so they must be moratorium in those areas.Bernie Sanders: (13:14)Furthermore, we must restore utility services to any customers who have had the utilities shut off. Unbelievably in America right now, you've got whole lot of folks who literally do not have running water in their homes because they haven't been able to pay their water bill, they may not have electricity and that has got to be dealt with right now.Bernie Sanders: (13:34)We must also provide funding for states and localities to provide rental assistance for the duration of this crisis.Bernie Sanders: (13:44)In addition, we need to waive all student loan payments for the duration of the emergency. Longterm as think all of you know, it is my view that we must cancel all student debt and make public colleges and universities and trade schools tuition free, and that is the view that have held for long time. But right now at the very least, we must make sure that nobody is obliged to pay their student loan right now.Bernie Sanders: (14:17)Furthermore, we must ensure that the homeless survivors of domestic violence and college students quarantined off campus are able to receive the shelter, the healthcare, and the nutrition they need and connect those individuals with social services to ensure nobody is left behind. We must also utilize empty hotel beds and other vacant properties to ensure that everyone in this country is safely housed during this crisis. We cannot forget that right now, tonight, there are some 500,000 people who are homeless, some in emergency shelters, some who are sleeping out on the street. Our job is to make sure that everyone is safely housed during this crisis.Bernie Sanders: (15:06)Further, we must protect farmers by suspending all farm service agency loan payments to protect farmers during this crisis, extend crop insurance and emergency loans to all affected farmers, extend rural development loans, and expand the emergency food assistance program to help alleviate hunger throughout the country and support our farmers during this crisis. We already have major, major crisis in terms of family-based agriculture in America. Thousands and thousands of family farmers are losing their farms, we've got to stop that process right now during this emergency.Bernie Sanders: (15:43)Finally, we must make sure that our response to this health and economic crisis is not another moneymaking opportunity for corporate America and for Wall Street. Let me underline that. We must make certain that this health and economic crisis is not another moneymaking opportunity for corporate America and for Wall Street. We need to establish an oversight agency to ensure that no one is profiting off of the economic pain and suffering of our people in the midst of this crisis. Any emergency credit extensions or loans to insolvent companies or industries as result of this crisis must come with strict protections and benefits for workers, for unions and for customers not no strings attached handouts for large corporations and their executives.Bernie Sanders: (16:46)During this crisis, we will ban stock buy backs and bonuses for executives. We will put conditions on this financial assistance to make certain that any corporation in America that benefits from emergency aid does not lay off workers, pays workers livable wage and does not rip off consumers. We must make sure that companies they get bailouts are required to sell equity to the government and put workers on their board of directors.Bernie Sanders: (17:22)We need to prevent price gouging by pharmaceutical companies. As soon as coronavirus vaccine is developed, it must be sold for free. This is not an opportunity for some drug companies to make fortune by charging an outrageous price for the medicine that people need in order to stay alive.Bernie Sanders: (17:44)Further all prescription drugs that are developed with taxpayer dollars must be sold at reasonable price. The pharmaceutical industry must be told in no uncertain terms that the medicines that they manufacture for this crisis will be sold at cost. This is not the time for profiteering or price gouging.Bernie Sanders: (18:09)So we've covered lot of territory tonight and this is what would very much appreciate where I'd appreciate getting your help. Once again, this is an outline of proposals that will be introducing to the Senate leadership and working with the Democratic leadership to implement. But it is important for me to hear your comments. We will have this outline up tomorrow in little bit clearer way on our website, berniesanders.com. And in addition to that we need to know what you are experiencing right now. It's hard to write proper legislation if we are not familiar with the kinds of pain and problems that people all across this country are facing.Bernie Sanders: (18:59)So let me just conclude by once again thanking all of you for being with us tonight to understand that what this country is experiencing right now is something that we have never experienced in the modern history of this country. That is, number one, major pandemic, which threatens the health and lives of millions of our people. And on top of that, an economic crisis which threatens the jobs and the income of many, many, many millions of people.Bernie Sanders: (19:33)So we got some major crises, but have the strong belief that if we work together, if we do not turn to fear and panic, but if we understand that the way we solve this is by going forward as one people, remembering those who are hurting tonight and will be hurting in the future. This is the richest country in the history of the world. This is country with unbelievable energy, with unbelievable talent, with incredible resources, we can do it. We can address this crisis. We can minimize the pain and let us do just that.Bernie Sanders: (20:12)So let us go forward together and look forward to continuing to communicate with you, to tell you where we are coming from, what our ideas are, and look forward to hearing from you as to what your ideas are and what your situation is. So once again, thank you very much for joining us this evening. Good night.
5 Representative Carla Cunningham: (00:00)First, please allow me to personally thank and welcome, Senator Harris, to North Carolina, for joining us for this important discussion. Senator Harris, at this time, will yield to you.Senator Harris: (00:14)Thank you very much. am honored to be back in North Carolina, at least virtually. Last was there in August, in Durham, and love the state, and so just want to thank everybody there for doing what you do every day. I'm honored to be on this panel with great leaders, with, of course, Representative Cunningham, with Dr. Galloway, and with Cassandra Brooks, and we're going to be hearing from each of them.Senator Harris: (00:42)So I'll just share with you couple of my thoughts, but do want to first just acknowledge, Representative Cunningham, for your work. You are native to North Carolina, you have been serving the community as practiced healthcare professional and of course, we are in the midst of public health crisis and so your leadership is so important, always, and in particular at this time. know you know and have been dealing with the effects of the pandemic on community and have very real ability to help lead the discussion in our nation about how we address it in way that gives people safety and gives them dignity. So want to thank you, Representative Cunningham, for all the work that you do.Senator Harris: (01:27)Of course, being back in North Carolina, as we have been experiencing this bittersweet moment, and the bitter part is the loss of the great John Lewis, but coupled with incredible just pride in who he was and is as an American hero. As you all know, don't need to tell you, about those four A&T students and what they believed, which led to the creation of SNCC, and of course, John Lewis served as chair of SNCC. So just want to make that connection as well.Senator Harris: (02:05)So let's talk about where we are as country. Right now, we are in the midst of three simultaneous crises, two of recent making and the third that's been around for hundreds of years. The first, of course, is the pandemic, public health crisis that has resulted in over 140,000 people in our country, dying. Those souls are lost. It is about public health epidemic and crisis that, in North Carolina, has created over 105,000 cases and there have been nearly 1,700 deaths in North Carolina alone. And then of course, this public health crisis has led to an economic crisis where there are over 17 million people who are still unemployed and nearly 66,000 businesses have permanently closed since the pandemic struck. And then the third piece of course, is the reason that people, by the thousands and hundreds of thousands, have been marching in the streets of America and around the world, which is to protest what we know has been systemic racism and the need for us to join together, as people have been doing, regardless of race, regardless of age, gender, to say that we as Americans, in an expression of our love of country, must fight so that we can come closer to that ideal of equal justice under law.Senator Harris: (03:37)So that's, in nutshell, where we are as country. This is moment then that requires real leadership, and so we're all here because we know that real leadership at this moment is going to be here when we elect Joe Biden, president of the United States. North Carolina, of course, has been the subject of so many of the President's rants, about the Republican convention, but you as Democrats in the state have provided extraordinary leadership and you've held firm on putting the safety and health of your citizens first.Senator Harris: (04:14)In addition, North Carolina mandated that masks be worn in public to reduce the spread of the coronavirus and expanded testing sites in marginalized communities, so want to thank you for your leadership. Of course, that again highlights what leaders, real leaders, can accomplish if they are prepared to lead, if they are prepared to embrace truth, to speak truth, to have the courage to speak truth and do it in way that is about uplifting the people of our country. Again, that brings me back to Joe Biden.Senator Harris: (04:45)So, Joe, has been announcing number of his policy initiatives that are born out of his lifelong work as public servant and leader in our country, including obviously his eight years as Vice President. But in particular, recently he has been talking about plan that is named Build Back Better. The Build Back Better plan. This week, as component of the Build Back Better plan, Joe announced that he would create three million new jobs in caregiving and in education.Senator Harris: (05:18)The pandemic of course, has highlighted that educating our children and caregiving are economic issues. Without childcare for children or someone there to attend to somebody who is sick, it is more difficult for people to go to work, almost impossible for people to go to work. In North Carolina, there are 1.3 million caregivers. Infant care costs nearly 30% more than in-state tuition for four-year colleges. Only 27% of families are able to afford it. Only 27% of families are able to afford care for their children. The average salary for childcare worker is less than $20,000 year. So these are some of the issues that are obvious in terms of issues that impact families and that impact our economy and impact all of us in society.Senator Harris: (06:16)So Joe's plan would do number of things. One, it would expand access to longterm care for the elderly and disabled by eliminating waitlist for home and community-based services under Medicaid and by increasing the funding. There are ton of people on the wait list right now, little less than million people are on the wait list for all of that, Joe would eliminate that wait list. He would also do what we all know, which is seniors should have the choice. Seniors should have the choice. If they want to live at home, they should have that option, but we know that it's not real option unless we give them the support they need in those years of their life to continue living at home. So Joe's plan would ensure that everyone has that option by having access to home healthcare aids, by improving accessibility in homes, such as ramps, and by making sure that there would be an availability for things like food delivery services. All those things that senior might need so that they can stay in their home and live with dignity because they are living in way that they choose to live but with the support they need.Senator Harris: (07:31)Joe's plan would create safe and accessible childcare options and universal pre-K. So what he is doing is making sure that he would provide for all three and four-year-old's access to free high quality pre-K education. In North Carolina, parents could save more than $8,000 year because of Joe's proposal. Joe's proposal would give an $8,000, aside from that other $8,000 number, an $8,000 tax credit to low and middle class families for childcare. And his plan would expand access to afterschool, weekend, and summer care for families with children up to 13 years of age. Joe's plan will also build safe, energy-efficient childcare facilities.Senator Harris: (08:22)So here's the thing, half of our country lives in what's known as childcare deserts, meaning there's just no childcare available where they live or near where they live or work. Half of Americans. So that means that without that availability of childcare, as we have already discussed, it impairs their ability to go to work, and have job, and build up their economic health and wellbeing. Before COVID, before the pandemic struck, 43% of parents had difficulty locating childcare. Difficulty meaning it was just too costly, or there weren't enough open slots, or just lack of quality childcare programs. So what Joe's going to do is create new childcare construction tax credit to encourage businesses to build childcare facilities where the parents work. And as we know, when parents can work near where their children are, when the children know their parents are near where they are... In the best interest of just the emotional wellbeing of all concerned.Senator Harris: (09:32)Joe's plan will also pay caregivers and educators what they deserve. So childcare workers, as said earlier, make less than $12 an hour and less than $25,000 annually. To address this, Joe will increase pay and benefits for caregivers and home healthcare workers. He will also, and this is very important, guarantee that there will be paid family leave for up to 12 weeks. And he will give workers the choice to join union and collectively bargain. As we know, unions are part of the backbone of the American middle class, and so that is one of the things Joe believes very deeply, very strongly.Senator Harris: (10:13)And last, the plan calls for the passing of the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights, and that would address the current labor and civil right issues that exist for domestic workers and make sure that they would have protections such as the ability to get paid for overtime and also that they would be protected against discrimination. It also provides to make sure that they would get things like meal breaks, be able to take break to eat, and also make sure that they are protected against retaliation. So these are some of the things that Joe's plan will do.Senator Harris: (10:49)So in conclusion, I'll say, there's no question, we all know that's why we're here to join together this afternoon, this is the most important election of our lifetime. There's no question. know many of us have said that before, but we didn't anticipate moment like this. We didn't anticipate moment like this. And so we have to do everything in our power to make sure that we can correct-course in our country, and the best and most significant way we're going to do that is to elect Joe Biden, president of the United States. But we also, in North Carolina, again, I've been there and know the kind of leaders that you have that are state and local leaders, and it is about those elections also, it is about making sure that you elect not only Joe Biden, but Cal Cunningham and Democrats up and down the state. Please reelect Governor Cooper. worked with Roy Cooper when he was Attorney General of North Carolina and was Attorney General of California. He is tough. He is strong. He has got to be reelected. Let's look forward to new leadership in the White House that will reflect the values and the character of who we really are, so let's get Joe Biden in that office. With that, I'm going to now turn it back over to Representative Carla Cunningham.Representative Carla Cunningham: (12:15)Well, thank you so much for laying out that plan. But also want to thank you as well, Senator Harris, for your contributions of service that you have made through the years of your service as being in the Senate at the federal level. Now will move forward to introduce our other panelists. Dr. Gracie Galloway is nurse practitioner with PhD in public health from the University of Sacramento, California.

Panelists, Gracie, you're welcome to speak.Dr. Gracie Galloway: (13:43)Thank you, state representative Carla Cunningham, my dear and wonderful friend. We're so formal.Representative Carla Cunningham: (13:51)Yes.Dr. Gracie Galloway: (13:55)Yeah, and am so pleased and humbled to be asked to be on this incredible panel, and incredible event, especially, you know, with Senator Harris headlining it. Yeah, this is no brainer for me. The one thing want to just touch on before I... Because have minute, think is, is this concept of paying caregivers and teachers what they're worth. We put our most precious resources, which is our children in their hands. Why do we not pay them what they deserve? mean, right?Dr. Gracie Galloway: (14:46)Oh you disappeared. There you are. I'm turning it back to you Ms-Representative Carla Cunningham: (14:53)Did we lose her?Dr. Gracie Galloway: (14:58)No.Representative Carla Cunningham: (15:00)I can't hear her.Dr. Gracie Galloway: (15:01)Uh-oh. Yeah for minute there, the screen went black. Let me see if can get hold of-Representative Carla Cunningham: (15:27)I can hear you Dr. Galloway.Dr. Gracie Galloway: (15:29)But can we hear anybody else?Representative Carla Cunningham: (15:31)I can't hear anybody else.Cassandra Brooks: (15:31)Yes, can hear you, this is Cassandra.Dr. Gracie Galloway: (15:35)Oh hi Cassandra, okay. The ball's in your court now.Cassandra Brooks: (15:40)Okay.Representative Carla Cunningham: (15:41)So it's back. Okay, I'll take it back. Thank you. So now we will move next to Mrs. Brooks, to go ahead and have her few minutes to speak. Thank you.Cassandra Brooks: (15:55)Thank you. I'm just going to hang out. Again, just thankful, like Dr. Galloway, to be here. I'm excited to be on this panel, excited to read about the plan, and how will it affect the childcare industry? Like in my bio, operate two, five star childcare facilities in North Carolina. We serve children that have been in foster care, Child Protective Services, children that have serious trauma. And we serve families of essential workers and families who are struggling daily to survive. So this plan is just phenomenal and I'm excited to be part of this panel today. Thank you for having me.Representative Carla Cunningham: (16:35)Thank you, Mrs. Brooks. Recently half of the daycares in the state of North Carolina shut down once COVID happened, and the ones that remained open really we're providing essential workers services for their children, and their childcare. Just yesterday, got call from parent, and he's single parent and he said, Look, I'm not sending my kids back to school, and it's costing me five to $7,000 month for one child." So we definitely know that there's struggle, and there's need for us to invest in early childhood daycare and development. So let's move to some questions to you, Mrs. Brooks and Dr. Galloway. So what is the importance of protecting childcare and healthcare workers, in the country and specifically in North Carolina, because we definitely have seen huge sacrifice of those essential workers. Gracie, would you like to go first?Dr. Gracie Galloway: (17:38)Yes, will address the healthcare portion because Ms Brooks [inaudible 00:17:43] address the childcare. So when COVID started, and we had the first case in Washington state, because remembered the SARS virus and remember Ebola, immediately, my public health antennas kind of kicked in and said, "Okay, we have to protect number one, our healthcare providers. Because without healthcare providers, who's going to take care of the sick? If our healthcare providers start falling by the wayside, then what happens to our sick people? Where are they going to go, and what are they going to do?" Unfortunately, with this orange person living in the people's house right now, those precautions of PPE, of the normal precautions of isolation, so the respiratory isolation, the aerosol isolation, the airborne isolation were not followed. We had zero, absolutely zero, y'all know this zero national response.Dr. Gracie Galloway: (18:48)So as result here we are in North Carolina where we had wonderful governor who said, "Lockdown", which was great. personally feel we reopened too soon, but that's me personally. At this point in time, our healthcare providers, especially our nurses are truly overwhelmed. My daughter is an emergency room nurse up here in Concord, and she tells me, "Mom, leave at the end of the day. And feel like I've worked for week solid. It's so tiring." Because they have to wear mask all the time. They have to wear, if they're going into room where person is suspected of having COVID, then they have to gown up completely. We cannot afford. This is the only country that know of, well, maybe not, but this country, this wonderful country, we have lost healthcare providers to COVID. They have died from COVID while the suicided because of COVID. So, if other countries like New Zealand can bring their COVID numbers does zero and under control, and not have one single healthcare provider infected, why can't we?Dr. Gracie Galloway: (20:10)And that is [inaudible 00:20:12] the question ask myself every single day. Why can't we? What? The small country of Singapore can handle COVID so well and say, "You know what? Our GDP dropped by 12.3%, but that's okay because we've saved lives, and we have no healthcare providers that have contracted COVID," why can't we?Representative Carla Cunningham: (20:39)Thank you so much. Dr. Gracie Galloway. Now Mrs. Brooks, would like to dive into the childcare, and what the plan that Vice President Biden is putting forward. How would that help with childcare workers, healthcare workers, children, parents and seniors and those caregivers that are not getting anything, but providing service?Cassandra Brooks: (21:04)Yes, Representative Cunningham. That plan is amazing. During my course of working in childcare and being an owner, have lost two childcare workers, prematurely. They died of preventable condition. Lastly, Ms. Brenda [inaudible 00:21:21] died about year ago in April, and she left behind three children. She worked in childcare for over 25 years, and she loved working with children and families, and they loved her too. But unfortunately she did not have health insurance. She did not make living wage. She, just like the fact, she made under $20,000. She could not afford to go to the doctor, and unfortunately she passed away very early, at young age, from preventable condition, and she left behind three children. But this plan, the plan that has been laid out would provide higher to teachers and stronger [inaudible 00:08:57]. believe if we had this plan today, Ms. Brenda would still be here. And so this plan is so important, and so important to the childcare workers in the workforce that we have right now. Especially going through COVID; know of teachers right now who have been in the hospital this week because they have contracted COVID-19 while working alongside young children in the childcare setting. So we need this plan. We need the plan, because he's going to invest $775 billion over 10 years to help stabilize the childcare community. And so this plan is so importantSenator Harris: (22:35)And Representative Cunningham... Hello?Representative Carla Cunningham: (22:40)Thank you. Go ahead, Senator.Senator Harris: (22:45)I think that part of the point here also is, this is also about what's morally right in our country, because the stories that we are hearing from Dr. Galloway from Ms. Brooks, also, it's about frankly, moral outrage. These are the workers, the professionals, who have taken on life of caregiving. If we are motivated at all, and think most of us are, in thinking about the least of these. These are the workers that do that work every day. And through the course of this pandemic, continue to do the work. And as Ms. Brooks was saying, at great risk to themselves and their own families. And so, we also have to look at it from that context. So this is about workers' rights. It's about paying people, their value and the dignity of work.Senator Harris: (23:43)But it is also about recognizing the special nature of the work that we're talking about. It's taking care of the elderly, taking care of the sick, taking care of our children, and doing it in way that is not just about pushing button, but it's doing it with love, doing it with sense of emotional connection to the people that they're caring for. And that takes lot out of an individual to do that, right? Because it really does take the whole being to do it. And so when think about Joe's plan, it really does take that into account as well. And that's something Joe Biden talks about all the time, which is the dignity of work, which is seeing the value of the people that are doing this work every day, and the pride they take in their work, and our responsibility then as nation and as leaders to value that work in every way we should. Which is about salaries, which is about sick leave, which is about having protected workplace, including to the point we were discussing; PPEs, masks, things like that, that during the course of this pandemic will allow these specific caregivers to be safe, so that they don't risk injury to themselves or their families when they're taking care of others.Representative Carla Cunningham: (25:00)Thank you, Senator Harris. It touches my heart when we start talking about seniors, and we start talking about caregivers, and disabled children, and adults as well. And wanted to recognize one thing currently. In the state of North Carolina, right now we added 238,000 people that do not have healthcare coverage at all. And that was in addition to the 500,000 people that were already left out, because we did not expand Medicaid. And during this COVID period, we know that the states that expanded have done much better job in providing services to the additional people that they covered through Medicaid. Also, wanted you all to know that each time client goes into an intensive care setting, and they have COVID, it requires five to six healthcare professionals to provide care for that individual. Some of the people that we never talk about, we talk about the nurses, we talk about the doctors, but we don't talk about the certified-Representative Carla Cunningham: (26:03)Talk about the nurses. We talk about the doctors, but we don't talk about the certified nurse assistants. And we don't talk about the respiratory therapists who have to actually take care of those people on those ventilators. And so those certified nurse assistants are making less than $25,000 week, and they're requiring childcare. And they're providing senior care, and they're doing the extraordinary. Some of them are even working two jobs. We need our equity in pay, especially for the essential workers that's on the front line. And look, our minimum wage hadn't been raised in probably 15 years. would like to move forward to each of you, Cassandra and Dr. Gracie, who's on the front lines, who's serving during the pandemic, to share with us what you all have seen as significant impacts on the COVID-19, on childcare needs and healthcare needs.Dr. Gracie Galloway: (27:11)Thank you so much, Carla, for this opportunity. For those of you who know me, and for those of you who don't, provide free healthcare to the uninsured and the underinsured. When say healthcare, mean healthcare, which includes the visits, includes lab work, x-rays, medications. If they have wound that needs to be dressed, supplies. And we also have food pantry, because the majority of our patients are homeless or have no job, or they're the working poor. They work two and three jobs like Carla was saying. If you could pay $7.25 an hour and you work 40 hours week, do the math. That's nothing. And then you've got to pay childcare on top of it.Dr. Gracie Galloway: (28:06)I had patient come in the other day and tell me she was looking for her third job, not her second, her third job, because the cheapest childcare she could find was $400 week. With the two jobs, she brings home 500 week. So if you give childcare 400, she has $100 left. She can't even pay the rent. You're going to end up with homeless family. Yeah, absolutely. We must increase the basic living... We've got to make it living wage. Our numbers, what we did is we relaxed our rules whole lot when this COVID thing happened. And we said, "Look. You don't have to fill out this many forms. If you are sick and you need help, come on. We will help you. We will do everything we can for you." We don't take state or federal money. We function by grants. We function by donations, bake sales, whatever. And our volunteers, obviously, because we would not be able to make it without our volunteers.Dr. Gracie Galloway: (29:27)We also are able to function through people like Representative Carla Cunningham, who speaks up for us in the general assembly and says, "Wait minute. You're all forgetting about the free clinics of North Carolina. They need help too, because this is the service that they're doing." And so thanks to the voice of Representative Carla Cunningham, we were the recipients of 100,000 of money from the state, which was amazing, because who would have thought? We thought it all went to Donald Trump's fence. know, know. So the front lines is scary right now. We insist in our clinic, if you show up, you must have mask. If you don't have mask, we'll give you one. We make them wash their hands when they come in. We wipe down the door knobs after they have opened the door, and then we leave the door open, because we only allow one patient in at any given time.Dr. Gracie Galloway: (30:32)That is the safest way we can do because we do not need our very high risk population who may have nowhere to stay wandering the streets and then possibly infecting others. That's all we're doing in Concorde in Cabarrus County, little rural county. And we help lot of veterans as well, because the closest veteran facility is 26 miles away from Concord. Our veterans don't have the transportation, many. Many of them don't. Many of them are homeless. And so instead of trying to hitch ride to the VA, they know that if they come see me, will treat them. And will take care of them for free, and I'll get them what they need. That's because we know have tremendous love for veterans. thank them every day.Representative Carla Cunningham: (31:27)Thank you. Thank you so much, Dr. Galloway. Mrs. Brooks, would you like to respond?Cassandra Brooks: (31:34)Sure. Thank you, Representative Cunningham. have seen it from so many angles. Recently, we had program where, during the crisis when the state was shut down, have single mom. She has three children, Ms. Latoya, beautiful smile. And she was in the nurse residency program. And unfortunately, that program ended the end of May, and her three children were no longer able to attend childcare because she couldn't afford it. And it really hurt her to her heart that she could not afford childcare and that she could not go serve on the front lines, alongside other nurses to work with the pandemic.Cassandra Brooks: (32:15)It's really sad situation. But with this plan, and as was reading it, Ms. Latoya would have been able to go serve on the front lines. The plan gives $6,000 year towards childcare costs. She would have been able to go to work and serve on the front lines, have this plan had already been in play. And even over the universal pre-K for three and four year olds, have had that state funded program just for four year olds called North Carolina Pre-K at both of my schools. And I've seen the tremendous growth that has provided to the children and to the families, just tremendous growth from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. And this is just not with my eyes.Cassandra Brooks: (32:56)This is what data that I've seen, the collection of data throughout the year. And the plan provides free childcare for three and four year olds. And so it would save North Carolina families $8,000 year to be able to send their three and four year olds to school. And early education is so important. So super important. We need it now more than ever, because we need to prepare them to take care of the world past COVID-19, past all of this. We need to prepare these children early. And so the plan is amazing. It's invested in young children, and that's the best that we can do to help all of us on the panel. Because guess what? They're going to take care of one of us one day. We're going to need some help. And so, that is so important.Representative Carla Cunningham: (33:44)Senator Harris, would you like to go ahead and make your closing remarks, Senator Harris?Senator Harris: (33:51)Thank you, Representative Cunningham. First of all, again, want to thank everybody for speaking truth and sharing these stories. These are difficult issues to think about, to talk about it, and certainly to address. And so just, again, want to say that we need solutions to the problems, and Joe Biden is offering us solutions to the problems. He sees the problems. One of the things that really find to be one of Joe's incredible strengths is, he has an incredible ability to empathize with people, to understand what suffering is. He has suffered in his life, and he cares deeply about people. And he wants to take care of people. He wants to end suffering. One of his signature, big roll-outs that he decided to take on an issue like childcare, home health care work, childcare workers, think speaks volumes about, again, Joe Biden and his character.Senator Harris: (34:59)And it's about time we have president who actually concerns themselves with the least of these. And that's who he is. And so again, his plan is about expanding longterm care for the elderly, giving them choice if they want to stay at home or be in facility, but make sure they have the resources they need and cut through the waiting lists that are existing right now. He wants to create safe and accessible childcare options and pay childcare workers what they deserve. Make sure that they have the sick leave that they need and the paid family leave that they need, but also to have childcare for three and four year olds, universal pre-K for three and four year olds, which is so important to their education, but also to their parents' ability to actually leave home and take on their work.Senator Harris: (35:51)And then the work that he's doing in terms of the Domestic Workers' Bill of Rights, which again, is about the dignity of work and making sure that people are protected in every way that they deserve. So again, want to thank the panel for all that you do. And let's elect Joe Biden. It's almost hundred days away. It's days away. And there's so much at stake, and there is nothing about this election we can take for granted. So thank you all, and hope to see you in person in North Carolina sometime soon. But until then, thank you all for your leadership.Representative Carla Cunningham: (36:24)Senator Harris, before you go, wanted to share just little bit of knowledge that was able to get couple of years ago from Ambassador Rasool, who was the ambassador to the South Africa under Barack Obama's presidency. What he says, is that your experience and your struggles qualify you to lead because you take them with you. And believe that experience that Vice President Biden has had is losing his wife the first time around it. Now his son, who he lost to cancer. He understands the death and has the compassion and the understanding. And so that level of empathy really carries weight. And just wanted to share that with you.Senator Harris: (37:06)Thank you. Thank you. And thanks for your leadership. Thank you.Representative Carla Cunningham: (37:10)Thank you, Miss Brooks, would you like to go ahead and... Mrs. Brooks, go ahead and make your closing remarks, please.Cassandra Brooks: (37:17)Yes. Thank you, Representatives Cunningham. believe in this plan because have seen it from both sides. have seen the struggling teacher, who is homeless and on public assistance. have seen the homeless mom, who is living out of her car with her three children. But guess what? They still do it with smile on their face. believe one day, early educators will not be on public assistance. believe one day, families will be able to get the care that they want and can afford for their children. believe one day, we will have stronger infrastructure for childcare, and it will be better than we have now. We'll build it back better. And that day is November the third. Go vote.Representative Carla Cunningham: (38:03)Okay. Dr. Galloway, will finish up with you and your closing remarks.Dr. Gracie Galloway: (38:10)Thank you, Representative Cunningham. I'm going to get formal on you now. absolutely have been on the Biden team since day one. Full disclosure, four years ago, started out with Bernie, but when Hillary got the nomination, worked my heart out for her. But this year, there was absolutely no question in my mind that Joe Biden is the man and the person who does understand. We can tell our anecdotal stories all day long, but when you meet the vice president and you look in his eyes, he's actually listening to every word you're saying. He's not just being politician and being polite. No.Dr. Gracie Galloway: (39:03)Just being politician and being polite, you know that you have his 100% attention. And every story of hardship and every story of pain to the American citizen, you can see causes him this, it's almost pain, that he expresses in his eyes. mean, I've seen him on TV just talking about certain things, and think, my gosh, he's going to cry any minute. But that's good. That's good. That tells me and tells all of us that, yes, we know him, but he knows us more importantly.Representative Carla Cunningham: (39:43)Thank you so much, Dr. Gracie. wanted to share also, have met Vice President Biden personally, and have acknowledged that he is such polite person and very tentative. So he has that personal touch, which you don't see in lot of people, especially you us. But he does have it. Now, we're ahead of time actually, and I'm going to yield back to Senator Harris and see if there's anything else that she would like to highlight in the plan. Senator Harris.Senator Harris: (40:21)Yes, absolutely. Let's go through little bit. I'd like to talk little bit more about our seniors and ask the panel about what you are seeing in North Carolina in terms of how our seniors are experiencing this. Are you seeing that that they're reaching out for help? Are you seeing anything in terms of, obviously the scare around the nation about seniors living in assisted living facilities? What has that experience been for you in North Carolina? Because obviously among the groups that are vulnerable to this pandemic, our seniors are one of those groups.Representative Carla Cunningham: (41:07)I will go ahead and share some of the knowledge that do know. We know that those congregate settings are really still struggling in all of our senior skilled nursing facilities, as well as assisted living adult care centers also, which held our IDD population and some of the mental health clients. So we know that they are struggling because of social isolation, people cannot go in and visit because of COVID. And we know that the majority of people that are dying are our seniors. They're our seniors in these skilled nursing facilities, assisted living, wherever they are. And it's tough time. We've been trying to figure out how to decrease the social isolation because we're starting to hear of more of them getting into anxiety and depression. So it is really major right now, and we have not figured out how to mitigate the pandemic or the COVID-19 within our congregate settings.Representative Carla Cunningham: (42:15)Our Department of Health and Human Services through the state has done good job, but think having the accessibility to PPE early on provided to those people working inside of those facilities, that really hurt us. And now we are [inaudible 00:42:31] for reagent, so now we've slowed down on testing because the reagent is not available. So that impacts our seniors. But when it impacts our seniors, it impacts the entire family because it's generational, that touch, and you really want to keep some seniors around for educational knowledge and wisdom. And right now we're struggling. I'll yield to Ms. Brooks or Dr. Gracie.Cassandra Brooks: (42:58)Yes, Senator Harris, recently from point of view, personal, lost my aunt in May of this year and she was in care facility. And just like Representative Cunningham said, they go through the isolation and the different things. think that's really what shut her down. But did like in the plan where they will have an option. Seniors will have an option to go home, and believe that they're able to go home and be around the ones who love them, their families would encourage them to get better, or at least feel better and get through those days, your end days. And so, feel it personally that my aunt was in assisted living in her last days and she was very isolated. And remember my aunt going to visit at the very end, and she said, "Oh, you found me. You found me." She thought that her family had lost her. And equate that to young child, if young child is in the store and your mom leaves you, you're scared. You're looking for that person.Cassandra Brooks: (44:03)And so, I'm just thankful for the plan. We'll all get to that age one day, we'll need that care. And also we'll be able to make that choice, do we want to go home and get care in our home, or do we want to go to an assisted living facility? But just really believe if she would have been able to go home, if this plan would have been in play back in May, she may still be here with us.Senator Harris: (44:27)I'm sorry for your loss. What's your aunt's name?Cassandra Brooks: (44:31)Lydia Jonakan.Senator Harris: (44:33)Lydia Jonakan. Okay. So in her name, we are doing this work in addition to everybody else, right?Cassandra Brooks: (44:41)Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Harris. Thank you.Representative Carla Cunningham: (44:43)Dr. Galloway.Dr. Gracie Galloway: (44:45)Yeah. So in the social isolation among seniors is actually, they're more impacted because it's generation that socialized. The neighbors, you went to your neighbor's house and you carried casserole or something like that, and you shared, and your children grew up together, they went to the same schools together and you watched the children grow up. And maybe the boy next door married the girl next door. But Cabarrus County in North Carolina is filled with stories like this, of families growing up together, getting old together, entire neighborhoods growing up together and getting old together and being used to socialization and now suddenly they have this isolation. So what we've done is, we've got day week where we make phone visits to our seniors and we just talk about whatever they want to talk about, share recipes, whatever. And let me tell you what, am the recipient. I'm the one that gets the benefit because they got some great stories. love their stories.Dr. Gracie Galloway: (46:09)One of them said to me, you know that in North Carolina if you see somebody across the street waving at you, it's not because he's friendly, he's just waving the [inaudible 00:46:19] away. You get stories like that, and come on, you can't beat that with [inaudible 00:46:29]. But yeah, so that's what we've been doing on weekly basis. But, we're thinking it might be better if we did it more than once week, because once week is truly, it's good, but it's not enough. So that's what we're doing to try and help.Representative Carla Cunningham: (46:53)Thank you so much, Dr. Gracie. just want to share little bit of stats on the aging population in the state of North Carolina. In 10 years, significant number of close to 80% live in the rural areas will be over the age of 65. So we are definitely an aging state. Right now most of the millennials or generation X, Y, they live inside of the urban areas. But the majority of our population is going to be aging. So we definitely got to be looking forward to having healthcare providers, home health, hospice services, palliative care services, certified nurse assistants who go in and provide that necessarily daily care to allow as many people to remain at home in the comfort of their homes and familiarity.Senator Harris: (47:46)Yeah. And that's Joe's plan. And in fact, part of his plan is also about the job creation that will come with that new approach. So we estimate at least 150,000 new jobs just on that piece around that home health care for seniors and the aged. Yeah, that's right.Representative Carla Cunningham: (48:09)Thank you so much, Senator Harris. mean, what more can you ask for as we move forward? Yes, we have generation coming, but we have generation in front of us that are depending on us to assist them with the quality of their lives. And so it's very important that we move forward with supporting President Biden. I'm going to go ahead and call it out. Let me go ahead and call it out.Senator Harris: (48:37)That's right. Claim it.Representative Carla Cunningham: (48:42)President Biden. That's right. Claim it and say it. Now look, usually when do that I'm right. Now most of the time I'm very seldom wrong. That intuition kicked in. But want to thank you all for attending this event and for taking the opportunity to tell your stories, keep it real, and to speak validity to what we're going to be facing moving forward to November, and for years to come because COVID is not over yet. Till we get vaccine, COVID will be around. But lot of these issues existed before COVID, and now it has really gotten worse due to, can say failure of federal leadership. I'll go ahead and put that out there. We are struggling. We're leading when we shouldn't be leading in certain things, and it's sad. It's sad.Representative Carla Cunningham: (49:39)But wanted to thank each of you for attending. But want you also to take an action. Anybody on this call, don't just get off this call and say, oh, was just on the call with so-and-so. want you to take an action. That's what I'm about is the action. So when you take the action, want you to go and visit joebidenforpresident2020y@joebiden.com to review the Vice President Biden's Caring Plan Act, because it's going to be important that you share it. We are talking, we're video. Video in, don't care how you do it, Zoom, WebEx, you can YouTube, whatever you have to do, keep the conversation going about what we need to be doing, not just for everybody else, but you know what lot of us have been through that. lot of us have been single parents. was single parent at 25, had two children first time. And then was single again for 17 years. So know what it is about childcare, and most of us on this call do.Representative Carla Cunningham: (50:38)So want you to keep the conversation going. So Carlton people, you at home every day, we at home every day, call 10 people, tell them 10 people call another 10 people. Ask for your absentee ballot, get ready to vote. November coming. And how are we going to vote?Senator Harris: (50:58)Joe Biden.Representative Carla Cunningham: (51:00)Joe Biden 2020. We can't wait. We can't wait. So this concludes the event, and would just like to thank each one of you all for all your services. Senator Harris, can't thank you enough for taking the time out of your busy schedule to join us in North Carolina to have this serious discussion. Thank you so much.Senator Harris: (51:23)Thank you.



and talking to the docs, if you have one, to keep your social distance, to slow the spread of this virus. This pandemic has impacted every aspect of our lives and every aspect of this campaign. Most of all, my heart goes out to all of those of you who've lost loved one. To those who have contracted the virus. To all the brave Americans who are working harder than ever to help their neighbors and all those children that are home from school that are worried and don't know quite why. Doctors, nurses, EMTs and public health officials, as well as the frontline emergency workers like firefighters and dedicated folks working to keep the shelves stocked in the grocery stores. You know, tackling this pandemic is national emergency, akin to fighting war and it's going to require leadership and cooperation from every level of government. And it's going to require us to move thoughtfully and decisively to quickly address both the public health crisis as well as the economic crisis.Joe Biden: (01:08)It's going to require us to pay attention to the medical and scientific and health experts. And it's going to require each of us to do our part. Yes, this is moment where we need our leaders to lead, but it's also moment where the choices and decisions we make as individuals are going to collectively impact on what happens. Make big difference in the severity of this outbreak and the ability of our medical hospital systems to handle it. You know, know we as people are up to this challenge, we always have been. know that we'll answer this moment of crisis with the best that we find in all of us because that's what Americans always have done and what we do. That's who we are, ordinary people doing extraordinary things when the need arises. And today we're moving quickly to adapt our routines to meet this challenge.Joe Biden: (02:02)Americans in three states went to the polls today. want to thank all the public officials and the poll workers who work closely with the public health authorities to assure safe opportunities for voting, to clean and disinfect voting booths and to make sure the voters could cast their ballots while maintaining the distance from one another that was safe. You know, it's important for us to get through this crisis protecting both the public health and our democracy. And today it looks like once again in Florida and Illinois, we're still awaiting to hear from Arizona, our campaign has had very good night. We moved closer to securing the Democratic Party's nomination for president. And we're doing it by building broad coalition that we need to win in November. With strong support from the African American community, the Latino community, high school educated people like the folks grew up with in my old neighborhood, labor, teachers, suburban women, veterans, firefighters, and so many more.Joe Biden: (03:03)And we're doing it with common vision. Senator Sanders and may disagree on tactics, but we share common vision for the need to provide affordable healthcare for all Americans, reducing income inequity that has risen so drastically. To tackling the existential threat of our time, climate change. Senator Sanders and his supporters have brought remarkable passion and tenacity to all of these issues and together they have shifted the fundamental conversation in this country. So let me say, especially to the young voters who have been inspired by Senator Sanders, hear you, know what's at stake. know what we have to do. Our goal as campaign and my goal as candidate for president is to unify this party and then to unify the nation. You know, it's in moments like these we realize we need to put politics aside and work together as Americans.Joe Biden: (03:57)The coronavirus doesn't care if you're Democrat or Republican. It will not discriminate based on national origin, race, gender, or your zip code. It will touch people in positions of power, as well as the most vulnerable people in our society. We're all in this together. This is moment for each of us to see and believe the best in every one of us. To look out for our neighbor, to understand the fear and stress that so many are feeling. To care for the elderly, the elderly couple down the street. To thank the healthcare worker, the doctors, the nurses, the pharmacists, the grocery store cashier, and the people restocking the shelves. To believe in one another. Because assure you when we do that, when we see the best in each of us, we lift this nation up and we'll get through this together. That's how we've always done it.Joe Biden: (04:52)God bless you all. And my special prayer for those of you in the front lines of the crisis, doctors, nurses, healthcare workers, caring for the virus victims and their families, my prayers are going out for everyone. My hopes are high because believe in times of crisis, Americans have always stepped up. We have to step up and care for one another. Thank you all. Thank you all for listening. Oh, thanks, thanks, thanks. Okay.

The first table has the 6 most conservative speeches and the second the 6 most liberal speeches in the sample. The most conservative speech in the sample is Trump’s first speech after nominating Amy Coney Barrett to SCOTUS, which isn’t super suprising. The Most liberal speech is a Bernie Sanders speech about Coronavirus in early March, 2020. The fact that Bernie gave the most liberal speech in the sample also makes sense. Bernie often speaks in combative language that differentiates itself from more moderate members of his party. He has a unique way of speaking and its a good sign for the models fit that it picks up that hes a liberal.

top10 <-  wordScores %>% 
  slice_max(beta, n = 10)
bottom10 <- wordScores %>% 
  slice_min(beta, n = 10)
mostExtreme <- rbind(top10, bottom10)

mostExtreme %>%
  ggplot(aes(x = beta, y = word)) +
  geom_point()

The above plot contains the 10 words with the most negative coefficients and the top 10 highest scored words. Its hard to intepret what these words mean for the meaning of the latent dimension, especially because there are multiple names in the top 10 most liberal words including Carla, Garcetti and Cunningham. Words like Muslim, and need.Bernie, mean that the latetn dimension is probably capturing some level of support for Democrats, especially considering that the names I mentioned before are names of Democrats. The highest coefficient words are mostly adjectives and seem to have a somewhat combative tone (e.g. unrivaled, pathetic). These words don’t explicitly tie to politics (with the exception of seat.donald), but they do sound like words that Trump would say. Overall, I take these words to indicate that the latent dimension does capture some variation between Democrats and Republicans. It might not do it perfectly, but at least my anecdotal sense is that the high scored words are things Republicans (or at least Trump) would say, while Democrats woudl talk about the things with more negative scores.

Question 8

glove <- readRDS("C:/Users/benji/Downloads/glove.rds")

#load text and create corpus
theoryOfMoralSentiments <- 
  readtext("/Users/benji/Downloads/theory_moral_sentiments.txt") %>%
  corpus()
woN <- readtext("/Users/benji/Downloads/WealthNations.txt") %>%
  corpus()

adamSmith <- theoryOfMoralSentiments + woN

Question 8.1

find_nns(glove["liberty",], pre_trained = glove, norm = "l2", N = 7)

[1] "liberty"   "freedom"   "equality"  "rights"    "freedoms"  "democracy"
[7] "liberties"

find_nns(glove["utility",], pre_trained = glove, norm = "l2", N = 7)

[1] "utility"     "utilities"   "electricity" "electric"    "suv"        
[6] "vehicle"     "suvs"       

find_nns(glove["pleasures",], pre_trained = glove, norm = "l2", N = 7)

[1] "pleasures" "joys"      "sensual"   "pleasure"  "delights"  "enjoyment"
[7] "worldly"  

Note that the output includes the word itself so I list 7 neighbors for each word I’m interested in so I can see its 6 nearest neighbors The first seven words are liberty and its 6 nearest neighbors for liberty, the next seven are utility and its neighbors and the last seven are pleasures and its neighbors. Interestingly, the words for utility are most similar to electricity as in “my utility bill is high.”

Question 8.2

I already loaded the texts in and made the corpus above. Now I pre process the text.

Code adapted from precept 9 and the help sheet posted.

smith_tok <- tokens(adamSmith, remove_punct = F, remove_numbers = F) %>%
  tokens_tolower()

# Build co-occurance matrix
fcm_mat <- fcm(
  smith_tok,
  context = "window",
  window  = 5,
  count   = "weighted",
  weights = 1 / (1:5),
  tri     = FALSE
)

# Compute corpus-specific transform
transform_mat <- compute_transform(
  x = fcm_mat,
  pre_trained = glove,
  weighting = "log"
)

# Feature Embedding Matrix (FEM)
fem_mat <- fem(
  x = fcm_mat,
  pre_trained = glove,
  transform = TRUE,
  transform_matrix = transform_mat,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Question 8.3

find_nns(fem_mat["liberty",], pre_trained = fem_mat, norm = "l2", N = 7)

[1] "liberty"  "security" "freedom"  "equality" "that"     "this"     "an"      

find_nns(fem_mat["utility",], pre_trained = fem_mat, norm = "l2", N = 7)

[1] "utility"    "beauty"     "idea"       "sentiment"  "appearance"
[6] "sense"      "propriety" 

find_nns(fem_mat["pleasures",], pre_trained = fem_mat, norm = "l2", N = 7)

[1] "pleasures"   "distress"    "pleasure"    "misery"      "anxiety"    
[6] "misfortunes" "agony"      

The neighbors of “utility are very different from smith and in modern glove.”Utility”’s neighbors in modern glove have to do with electricity as utility is used to mean “essentail service” in modern English. Its neighbors are more descriptive words meant to evoke feelings in Smith’s work. This likely means Smith was using “utility” to describe objects that were worthwhile, not particular services.

Smith’s use of “liberty” is more similar to modern usage of the word. “freedom” and “equality” are neighbors in both modern English and Smith’s work. The other nerest neighbors of “liberty” in Smith’s work are largely function words, which could imply that “liberty” is a main theme of his works leading to liberty being related to function words. I don’t think there’s a particular meaning we should associate with liberty’s closeness to these function words.

Lastly, pleasures in modern English is neighbors with good things, while its associated with negative words like “distress, misery, anxiety” and more in Smith’s work. This could mean that Smith saw pleasure as a negative thing. It could be that pleasures caused these negative words that are pleasures neighbors in Smith’s corpus.

Question 8.4

smith_tok$name <- c("ToMS", "TWN") 
work.reg <- conText(work ~ name, data = smith_tok, 
                    pre_trained = glove, transform_matrix = transform_mat,
                    window = 12, num_permutations = 500)

262 instances of "work" found.

As can seen from the output above, there is a statistically signfigant coefficient which means there is a difference in how the word work is used in the two documents.

Above we output the document embedding. These, however, are not inherently useful for getting information about a single word. Below I get document specific embedding for the word “work.” to do this I first get the context window for all 262 instances of the word work and find specific embeddings for each of these words then use dem_group to get the average embedding for this word. Finally I use nearest neighbors to get the words close to work in each of the two books.

toks_wn <- tokens_subset(smith_tok, name == "TWN")
work_tok_wn <- tokens_context(toks_wn, pattern = "work", window = 12)

256 instances of "work" found.

work_dfm_wn <- dfm(work_tok_wn)
docvars(work_dfm_wn)$name <- "TWN"

toks_tms <- tokens_subset(smith_tok, name == "ToMS")
work_tok_tms <- tokens_context(toks_tms, pattern = "work", window = 12)

6 instances of "work" found.

work_dfm_tms <- dfm(work_tok_tms)
docvars(work_dfm_tms)$name <- "ToMS"

work_dfm <- rbind(work_dfm_tms, work_dfm_wn)

work.dem <- dem(work_dfm, pre_trained = glove, transform = T, 
                 transform_matrix = transform_mat)

workEmbeds <- dem_group(work.dem, work_dfm$name)

print("The nearest neighbors for work in Theory of Moral Sentiments:")

[1] "The nearest neighbors for work in Theory of Moral Sentiments:"

find_nns(workEmbeds["ToMS",], pre_trained = fem_mat, norm = "l2", N = 10)

 [1] "science"   "event"     "invention" "word"      "matter"    "passion"  
 [7] "nature"    "emotion"   "opinion"   "tragedy"  

print("The nearest neighbors for work in The Wealth of Nations are:")

[1] "The nearest neighbors for work in The Wealth of Nations are:"

find_nns(workEmbeds["TWN",], pre_trained = fem_mat, norm = "l2", N = 10)

 [1] "work"      "for"       "a"         "which"     "or"        "their"    
 [7] "either"    "necessary" "as"        "both"     

The uses of the word “work” are generally more about ideas in Theory of Moral sentiments, while the uses of the word in the wealth of Nations are aroudn stop words. The former might indicate that work is being used as a noun in ToMS (ie “a work of passion”), while its more the subject of The Wealth of Nations and thus is typically surronded by function words. Its also worth noting that Work is much rarer in ToMS then in TWN, which implies to me that we should have less confidence in the resulting embeddings.
