victory the dirtier the democrats theref stenograp and the prosecutors will get s they will stop at nothing and i mean nothing in their attempts to steal this next election. we saw democrats impeach president trump twice. they indicted him four times for non- crimes and are trying to bankrupt him and destroying his successful business. in my home state of new york far left a democrat and tissue james who campaigned on going after president trump teamed up with itunethical democrat manhattan judge to unconstitutionally impose nearly half billion dollar penalty on trump for the victimless non- crime of paying aback banks in full on time as a agreed with interest. it is corrupt. the left has gone so far as to desperately try to remove espresident trump ballot.
7:50 pm
why? joe biden's improvement is in freefall and they want to take away devote for butte.anwhile the corrupt joe biden family lining their pockets from illegal influence peddling schemes. the bidenri democrats in the media like to pretend they are saving democracy but it is the radical left and the democrats that democracy. [applause] but we cannot let them. and we won't let them. [cheering] [applause] ladies and gentlemen as we enter this election season we cannot lose sight of what is at stake. america itself is on the line. we have the most secure borders and our nation's history when president trump joe biden took executive action leading to the most wide open border our nation's history with over 8 million illegals invading . an amount greater than the population of 36 states.
7:51 pm
biden halted border wall construction he endedmained in mexico policy and implement a catch and release. joe biden's america every e district is not astrict every state is a border state. the southern border is being invaded and even on the northern border in my district illegal crossings are up over 14 100% including individuals on the terrorist watch list. crime is spreading from cities to small cartels across the southern part of the zero consequences illegal immigrants come to our city assaults our enforcement officers romp our neighbors and if they are in new york city democrats give them taxpayer debit pouring into every crevice of the country poisoning a generation of americans. this is joe biden's border crisis. that media it will not hold him accountable for the left will not hold him accountable so you and i must and we wol h accountable at the ballot box.
7:52 pm
[applause] is not the only crisis but we are an economic crisis for hard-working americans. millions of different jobs historical wage growth for blue-collar workers the lowest unemployment and 50 years. booming manufacturing 50 million americans lifted out of poverty. quickly destroyed booming economy by passing trillions bypassing trillions of dollars of reckless spending leading to painful but the worst inflation in my lifetime. hard-working families cannot afford homes middle-class workers cannot afford groceries the cost for nearly everything has skyrocketed car insurance to family pizza night. president biden has the audacity
7:53 pm
to point to wall street and claimed the economy is boomingi[ and bidenomics is working. it is offensive to the american people. and there is one more biden crisis that i want to point out that it is the most insidious of them all. it is one eyewitness every single day when i defended president state. that is the way democrats attack our democracy. we fought with the russia collusion hoax.ba obama spied and lied we saw how the unconstitutionally rigged the 2020 election. we sought when the state colluded with big tech and use taxpayerit dollars to censor the accurate hunter bided laptop story. we see it today as unelected liberals try to unconstitutionally remove trump from the ballot. and let's remember democrats objected to every republican president in 21st century.
7:54 pm

7:55 pm
you are wherever you are from, whatever your age if ever there was a time for patriots to step up and fight this is it and it will not be easy. when the media and the elites attack us for supporting presidents because they are scared. they are scared of what he will accomplish when he drains the swamp. they are scared of what you will accomplish. so remember what president trump taught us when they attack you we double down and fight b we ares counting on the people to save this great country to save america and will. ii want to end at this as we embark on a difficult path ahead we turn to galatians six: nine and let us not grow weary of doing good we will reap if we do not give up.
