[laughter] he said he so much better than anybody so we made a move you give up a tremendous position to do this. we want to thank you but we have to get going because when we bring the energy, we have more energy than anybody. biden set us up in venezuela we go to venezuela heavy stuff and great liquid gold, more under our feet and anybody else but we went to venezuela instead of

taking it from our own land, how book is that? a little tiny hole and we will take it and made venezuela strong again. they never thought they would have so much money. you have one guy a lot of oil under his feet we are having talks about that. that was another one, he's ready to quit. marco, you know that better than anybody. that's what took place there and we will have that in any form and biden made them strong. it was the worst administration and history and i say that with a lot of democrats i think you believe it, to. you can't say but you believe it

and that's what caused inflation and energy. they stopped a lot of things and going back to going to the roof. it was brutal and they went back and any rig and they ended up doing similar numbers, we would have been double or triple from years ago but i want to thank you for recommending him and what we have done department of the interior and the department of the interior, all the land in great places more than any other

country in the world and he's in charge. he drills but hasn't like so what we do? is it i have an idea, let's merge them. you know we did it lately but we did it intellectually so the energy department is doing more because they don't have energy somehow merge them or something, it's pretty tremendous what you can do. head of so many different things and loyal and open up shocking,

and the fantastic secretary. i'm hearing so much about eggs, figure something out fast down the road we will be able to say but the big things we can blame allow criminals into our country at levels nobody's ever seen, to allow people from jails up countries from all over the world into an open border, anti- jails and prisons mental institutions, insane asylums, drug people. they allow them to come into the country unchecked and right now we have great gentlemen and

something was never had to have done. they make our criminals nice. very nice people, seriously tough people and nobody's ever seen toughness like this. secretary of health and human services, nobody knows this particular gentleman, he sailed right through.

love, god, for about family next now it's my fourth favorite word love, god, family and a couple others i could have added omb director russell, you're going to be incredible. i love how honest he is and he's fantastic with the numbers and you see these numbers coming in the tremendous fraud, waste and abuse and all three of them but i think fraud is the worst. they are not explainable so a great job. small businesses will big

businesses it is massive, one big one kelly walker is here she's got an incredible husband, one of the most important people in the world finance knows, he owns the thing on the new york stock exchange and natural experience but i think you're going to be great is a lot fraud with all the money out about billions of dollars on director national intelligence kelsey calvert. good luck. good luck. [laughter] loaded up with intelligence and

treated pretty rough. over the past month, new administration has taken action to fix every single disaster we inherited in the most difficult one of all and one of the reasons we won the election by so much, everywhere we won the popular vote, we want seven states and we want by millions so it's hard. topic in a couple of decades and i think it's changing so rapidly. another thing amazing of the

3000 counties, it's a lot. and get certified came back recently and it was in red we have become the party of common sense and important for the democrat. we are going to deal with you and you agree with a lot of the things. it was close law.

millions and millions of people 21 million people, two or 3 million were criminals and many were people that countries didn't want. his massive caravans, i came up with this a long time ago and these are people, medications and they needed help all the time and assistance or whatever. our country has a lot of people in it right now and going to make sure everybody is treated fairly. it's the most difficult problem additionally, it really been hunting down the bad ones and they are incredible people being

mocked, tough men and women ms 13 band and they will bring up the paddy wagons killed two young girls in some recent ms 13 from small long island, i don't know what that's about but two young girls walking to school, 16 years old in the morning by a group of ms 13 and they don't they cut them up and build them, cut them up into little pieces. they use knives because it's more painful.

and it's not like a political pack and they are slightly nicer. people from venezuela and walk in and you will see them walk out out of the country. these are rough people we have to deal with. border patrol is incredible. to make the job so difficult by allowing them into our country. soft designated a group from venezuela and colorado, they went in and they take over.

they just name it and tell tenants to get out. one case a guy of the cops and they cut off his fingers federal, state and local cooperation is to be the backbone of border security and they are very much into. you want to get the criminals out and 88 people we know of that are murderers. i can't imagine anybody wanting them in their state whatever may

be. some murdered more than five people these for convicted people and they let them out jail and they brought them in here expect every state to honor they can is a tough guy we are not letting them back. they are not in and every single country now you saw with

venezuela and they offered to send claims to pick them up. even marco couldn't when that one but they are sending things to pick up these people and they are doing them in the planes they are attempting to aid and abet dangerous criminals, drug dealers, bad people violating federal law in combat inflation and declared national energy emergency and one thing with done is we can do this very quickly and tremendous electricity. the need for electricity for a.i.

we are now leading on that and i hope it's good and we are leading china by a lot. and they tell these people spend hundreds of billions, trillions and every building whatever it is, one 100% we need that about the in the number one position and dominate but i tell them and they can believe it will build your own electric plants do you create your own when you build

your plant like we have been york. nice to see you back there. they don't do job. we built our own utility a grid taken out by bombs or work or anything so they couldn't believe it. you think you can get that approved? very quickly. couldn't believe it and they are going to do it and virginia and the massive building was a large

electric generating ability powered by natural gas they only say they are nuclear. terrible how an environmental person those the birds, expensive. seven, eight times more expensive. wind turbines in the country, the one but to combat inflation, a national energy emergency will liquid gold to way down and that will happen. we'll have a big part that will

be natural gas and coal. do as many forms as energy as we can and will be something everybody knows and you will call me or anybody if you have difficulties or problems but you will have level of business this country you've ever seen before. the tariffs bring in anything and we are creating tremendous taxes but because the is one 100% tariffs or two 100% or whatever it may be and we are going to be announcing tariffs at 25% done probably april 2. i was going to do april 1 but i don't like that date. it will cost a lot of money to wait one day. what do i do?

that cost a lot of money that extra day let's do it april 2. i want to take the abuse. we created the new department energy but you may have heard about waging war on government waste, fraud and abuse become the largest regulation industries and other things regulation. i the way my first four years we get mark deregulation than any other president history and they brought a list along some places the money has gone and these are the ones i feel, some are nasty and dirty and horrible, i assume they have television on.

and social security numbers and 109, 4.7 million people on social security. in one of the greatest, so happy. and got along with everybody democrats and everybody. designing a new building and that was the end of it.

in looking to see those numbers to take out three-point 7 million people in the age of 1202129. 3.9 million, 130139. 3.5 million, 140 years old 2149 years old. 1.3 million from 150 that are alive receiving social security.

it makes it incompetent and for the people that are 80 and 60 and everything else 150159 and one 30,000 social security and 129. you think about, we have 1039 people one person at 240 years old we have one at 360.

the somebody is maybe getting paid. what a convenient thing, it's so nice. numbers are incredible, it could be 500 billing for could be a trillion, it could be a trillion and five, we are going to find out they are generally young people who are good with computers.

they talk them out of something but we have the gold. nobody sees it and be wrong but we have the largest in history

and we are not allowed to put it in, we did one and seven and some of them will see you have to get rid of the regulations. before covid, it was a thing for all of us. we ended up going back and the stock market was higher and an amazing achievement that i was sitting down with the posters

bodies all over the place and was over some unheard endemic in a long-term. they were all around the wuhan lab so from day one i said you saw them from the air from space, black body bags all over and that's where it came from. before we leave, i think you should do this. safety and security should do it anyway but it cost you a tiny fraction and i would hope every republican, 8% in the get the

machines and paper is sophisticated called watermark. hard to believe a piece of paper is sophisticated and amazing but paper ballots and same-day voting in the proof of citizenship but sums did so 64 days had california just finished up a short while ago. they were voting a week and a half ago. in other states, to.

save tens of millions of dollars in security safety it is a beautiful system and so simple and he said computers are not meant for voting, too many

transactions taking place that got to know the people of their in the most way you can secure and the fastest way, there can be hanky-panky. i hope sarah and the republican governors, you go to paper ballots. 8% is what the class are no and that's a set of good deal and then you go through days and weeks and months of dating, anytime you have mail-in ballots, you have called and

they went back to paper ballots until the election and the election was over at 9:00 and they have a winner and a loser, 39 million votes. jimmy carter when he was in commission and bid senators their conclusion was, you will have massive fraud. it took them forever last six months later they declared jerry nadler.
