[applause] i would also like to express my gratitude to all the fierce champions of freedom in this room, you are champions of freedom. and i am here to talk about the rise of left-wing fascism in the country and the need to defeat the corrupt and incompetent n the white house crooked joe biden, the worst president in the history of e united states. he is the worst president by far in the history of the united states. in fact, i would say that jimmy carter is very happy tonight because he goes down as being a brilliant president by comparison. everyone hermust fight for the same fundamental freedoms, freedom of expression, freedom of religion freedom of the right to own a firearm, freedom over taxation. oh, oh
8:41 pm
fmr. pres. trump: then you are going to like me, firearm, nobody better than me. we just got the full nrat endorsement to the nra. [crowd booing] fmr. pres. trump: freedom from overregulation, from government discrimination. and we believe we don't have a free country if we don't have free speech, i very strongly believe that. we stand opposed to government tyra many forms. we are opposed to a government that spies on political campaigns, i wonder who that mighlike they did on me, sp on the american people, sensors us and crash of the rites of its own citizens, at which the biden administration does. of our business, out of our wallets we believe marxism is an evil doctrine straight from the ashes of hell. having marxism in our government
8:42 pm
is intolerable and teaching it to our children is considered, to us, we believe the job of the u.s. military is not to endless visual change wars around the globe. the job of the u.s. military is to defend america from attacks and invasion here ate. we believe propeental to a free society and that joe biden's rampant inflation is a monstrous theft from the i said theft. we believe our country is not from enemies abroad. it is tyrants, communists fascists andhugs attacking our rites and liberties from within. and we live by the words of the great american patriot patrick henry. give me liberty or give me de[applause] our rights and freedoms have never been more in danger than they are now. that is why i have come to
8:43 pm
extend a hand of friendship to ask for your partnership to defeat communism, defeat marxism, and defeat crooked joe bi country. we can be libertarian or anything else. this man is destroying our country. [indistinct chanting][chanting: "we want to trump"] [indistinct chanting] fmr. pres. trump: thank you. and, by the way why isn't joght? you know why? why isn't he? because he can't put two sentences together, that is why he is not. should not be fighting each other. if joe biden gets back, there
8:44 pm
will be no more liberty for anyone in our countcombine with us in the partnership. we are asking that of the libertarians. weyou have to come with us. we cannot give crooked joe biden four more years. [crowd booing] ve crooked joe biden four more years. today's radical-left democrats party is not the democrat party of years ago which still wanted big government, but at leastspeech. joe biden's radical-leftmovement that was to throw you in jail if you post a they don't like. they want to throw you in jail if you do something that isn't quite to their liking. what you are witnessing under biden is a toxic fusion of the marxist left.the deep state", the military-industrial complex, the y and surveillance services, and their partnersinto a hideous perversion of the american system. that's is exactly what it is.
8:45 pm
the fact is that joe biden is a threat to democracy. my mission is to liberate our nation from these fascist frauds , and to rescue our democracy. to restore ourevict crooked joe biden from the white house so that america can be a free nation once again. the biden regime assesses its critics, spies on its opposition takes away the bank accounts of u.s. citizens as an extra form of punishme christians and patriotic parents, and isying to put a leading candidate for president in jail. g order to keep me from talking
8:46 pm
about their crimes and their arcos additional acts. they want to get rid of the second amendment, due process, rit cel, all the while pushing wealth confiscation and waging endless and unnecessary wars all over the globe. anyone can freedom, but i am actually putting everything on the line to resist these despots. [crowd booing] stand before you tonight as your best hope of defeating the weapo biden and the very people regime that his people, because it's probably not him becausee doesn't know where the hell he is, but that his people are pursuing. you can make a. the libertarian party can make a big difference. the libertarian party can make a big difference. together we can make america freer than ever before for citizens all walks of life. weekendgç optimism, so that people can have an unlimited future. united will be unstoppable. if we unite, we are unstoppable. i will be a new friend to
8:47 pm
libertarians in the white house. and i am be the only president in 70 years who -- no new icomplex. broke the stranglehold on neocons and warmongers on the republican party. and instead of war, i made peace in the middle east, something nobody thought was possible, and dealt with kim jong-un of north korea where a nuclear war was guaran periods of time if hillary clinton became president. a nuclear war. 100%. you would have never had the october 7 attack in israel. it would have never happened. and the attack in ukraine by russia woulder ever have happened. it wouldn't have happened. hundreds of thousands and even millions of food would be living today.
8:48 pm
i unbowed the united states from a agreements. i withdrew from the paris accords, from the anti-gunnd from the corrupt and very expensiveorld health organization. not a good thing. [applause] i passed the most significant -- is so important i passed the most significant criminal justicein history, and perhaps my proudest have exposed the depth of corruption in the washington swamp. thanks to me, the entire world knows the deep state" is real, and the lame-stream media is fake. it is fake. . a greatibertarian who may very well be in the rooghbelieve, but he is a great libertarian, leroy murdoch, who i have become friends with through his writings in the
8:49 pm
american spectator and numerous other places, an article yesterday in which he mentions some of the things that me a libertarian without even trying to be one. at is nice. booing] deroy wrote, "donald j. trump will address the libertarian party at his national convention on saturday. the libertarian party should nominate trump for president of the united states [crowd booing], " fmr. pres. trump: that's nice. c you want to win. only if you want to win. maybe you don't want to win. maybe you don't want to win. . >>. thank you deroy. only do that if you want to win. if you want to lose, don't do that from its keep getting your 3% every four years. [crowd booing] the reasons for
8:50 pm
doing so, policy and politics, are as hederoythis event is very unprecedented, he said. as the cato institute president observed in thursday's washington post, "it will be the first timethink of this -- "firs time in u.s. history that a presidential candidate of a rival party will address the convention of another party that is presumably gathering to nominate its own candidate." now i think he should nominate booing] and we should win together. [crowd booing] rump: you heard th me or vote. vote for me. for me and most of them will. and it's very poet rid of the worst president in history. and together we will. without it, there is a risk we
8:51 pm
could have four more years where we don't have a country left. so what is the of the libertarian party getting 3%? what is the reason to t a chance of having this horrible president destroy our country which he will do in far less than four years? it's not going to years. that is why i am committing you i will put a libertarian in my also libertarians in senior posts. [applause] that is pretty big. or you can keep going the way you have for the last long decades and get you 3% and meet again, get anotherno. you want to make yourself winners. it's time to be winners. you have a lot of common sense. it's time to think of it -- i am asking for the libertarian party's endorsement, or at least lots obertarian

8:54 pm
article that came out today from deroy murdock. he said, number 3 trump fully restrained inflation. we had practically none. prices were rising just 1.4% as he left office. this was a fraction of the 9% inflation that biden repeatedly claims trump handed him. no 9% after he took over the white house and created all the inflationaryacts. he did a horrible job. the 30 year mortgage rate, as trump departed was.7 percent versus the almost nine percent today. and by the way even if you can't get any money, there is no money available. 's approach fostered energy independence which we have never had before. low fuel and electricity prices helped moderate inflation and propel economic growth. but all these things have
8:55 pm
skyrocketed into levels nevinflation has hit us harder than it has probably ever hit us before and people are suffering because of it. trump promoted parental rights school choice. trump's education department repealed the so-calleddance letter that turned on-campus sexual harassment accusations into de facto criminal convictions. you all about that. who else would do that for you? ed due process to the he sai said, minefield for your children. i knowthey have gone through with that. they have gone through hell. trump required universities to respect the first amendnt lest they lose their federal sou away all your funding. trump torpedoed obamacare's individual mandate and got rid of many of its taxes.

fmr. pres. trump: very rarely seen before, if ever. trump canceled and defunded ion programs and other state-funded racism scams. the v.a. mission act which trump signed veterans receive federally funded medical care in the private sector. if delays prevent their treatment in v.a. hospitals. in other words if they are delayed, they can get a private doctor and we pay they get a private doctor and they get better. people were waiting online for three months, five months, six months. not -- hundreds of billion dollars more for their protection. the only president who did so substantially reducing what we were forced to pay. we got them to pay other nations, hundreds of billions of dollars that they weren't paying. no other president was able to
