[applause] come here susie. chris, come here. susie likes to stay in the back. let me tell you. susie likes to stay in the background. she's not in the background. >> this was unexpected but i

want to thank obviously president trump for this journey, and he is a hell of a candidate. it's going to be a hell of a great 47th president. this team we had the best team and of course even my boss, susie, the best. thank you. >> thank you, and thank you, susie. they are great. everybody up here is great. everybody up here is very special. who did you say? oh, let me tell you, we have a new star. a star is born. elon. he is an amazing guy. we were sitting together tonight and he spent two weeks in philadelphia in different parts of pennsylvania, campaigning.

you know he sent a rocket up two weeks ago and i saw that rocket and i saw it coming down and when it left it was beautiful, shining white. when it came down it looks so pretty, it was going 10,000 miles an hour and burning like hell. i said what happened to your paint job? he said we never made it pained they could withstand that kind of heat but i saw it come down and turn around and it is like 22 stories tall, by the way. and it came down and down and you saw that fire burning and i thought only elon can do this, this must be elon. and i told the story last night, i had a man on the phone, i have the screen muted, no sound. i was talking to a very important man who happens to be here and that very important guy, one of the most important people in i would say, the country, actually. but you know i was president and

now it looks like i will be president again so i figured i could ask him to hold. so i asked him to hold and especially because you're going to be president again, hold. so i took the phone down and i'm looking at the screen and seeing this crazy and going around and looks like it crashed in and i said no, do me a favor, would you mind holding, you might want to see this. i thought it was a space-age movie or something. i put the phone down. i didn't pick it up for 45 minutes and he was holding. this spaceship came down and i saw those engines firing and it looked like it was over, it was going to smash. and then i saw the fire pour out from the left side and it came down so gently and then it wrapped those arms around it and it held it and just like you hold your baby at night. and it was a beautiful thing to

see and ice and elon, was that you? he said yes, it was. i said who else can do that? can russia do it, no. can china do it, no. can the united states do it other than you, no. i said that's why i love you, elon. and you know when we had the tragic hurricane helene, and it hit north carolina, they were really devastated. this was as big as we've ever seen, water hurricane. it built lakes out of nothing. fields became lakes and the danger was unbelievable. the people from north carolina came to me and they said would it be at all possible for you to speak to elon musk? we need star link. i said what is star link? it is a form of communication. so i called him and i tell you what. it was very dangerous, people have no communication, all the

wires were down. i said elon, you have something called star link, is that right? what the hell is that? he said it is a communication i said elon, they need it really badly and north carolina, can you get it? he got there so fast it was incredible. and it was great. it saved a lot of lives. he saved a lot of lives. we have to protect our geniuses, we don't have that many of them. we have to protect our super geniuses. the u.s. open shortly in is fantastic, hits the ball a little bit longer than me, just a little bit. where is he? oh.

he's on the way. he said he's hitting balls. look at him. he's got a great career going, great u.s. open. that's a fantastic job. and we also have men dana white. he's a tough guy. so dana started ufc and came to me, do you mind if i use your -- nobody want to give them a raise because it is a rough sport. i helped them out a little bit and i went and i said this is the roughest sport i've ever seen. but i began to like it and he loved it and nobody has done a

better job in sports. and you know he's a very motivational kind of guy. he gets these fighters and they really go added. he's become one of the most successful sports enterprises anywhere at any time, doing so well. i'd like to ask injustice a couple of words because people would love to hear from him. [applause] >> nobody deserves this more than him and nobody deserves this more than his family does. this is what happens when the machine comes after you. what you see over the last several years, this is what it looks like. couldn't stop them, he keeps going forward, is the most resilient, hard-working man i've ever met in my life his family are incredible people. this is karma, he deserves this. they deserve it as a family. i want to thank the people really quick.

last but not least, the mighty and powerful joe rogan. and thank you america, thank you. have a good night. >> is a piece of work. but most of all, i want to think the millions of americans across the nation who have always been the heart and soul of this really great movement. we've been through so much together and today you showed up in record numbers to deliver a victory like no other. this was something special, and we going to pay you back. we're going to do the best job, we're going to turn it around. it's got to be turned around fast. and we are going to turn it around. we are going to do it in every way.

so many ways, every way. this will forever be remembered as the day the american people regain control of the country. so i just want to say on behalf of this great group of people, these are hard-working people, fantastic people and we can add a few names like robert f. kennedy, jr. and he's going to help make america healthy again. he is a great guy, he really means. i said bobby, leave the oil to me. we have more liquid gold, more

oil and gas than any country in the world, more than saudi arabia. we have more than russia. bobby, stay away from the liquid gold. other than that, go have a good time, bobby. we are going to be laying down debt, reducing taxes. we can do things that nobody else can do. nobody else is going to be able to do it. china doesn't have what we have, nobody has a we have. this campaign has been so historic in so many ways. we built the biggest, the broadest, the most unifying coalition, we've never seen anything like it in all of american history. young and old, men and women, rural and urban. i was looking at it, i was watching it, some great analysis of the people that voted for us. no one has ever seen anything like that.

they came from all orders. union, nonunion, african-american, hispanic american, asian american, arab-american. muslim american. we have everybody, it was beautiful. it was a historic realignment. uniting citizens of all backgrounds around a common core of common sense. you know we are the party of common sense. we want to have borders, we wano have things be safe. we want great education. we want a strong and powerful military and ideally we don't have to use it. for years, we had no wars except we defeated isis. we defeated isis in record time, but we had no wars. they said he will start a war. i'm not going to start a war, i'm going to stop wars. but this is also a massive victory for democracy and for freedom. together we are going to achieve

the most incredible future for our people. yesterday as i stood at my last stop on the campaign trail, i will never be doing a rally again, can you believe it? i think we've done 900 rallies, can you imagine? 900. 901, something. a lot of rallies. and that was sad, everybody was sad. many people i said this is our last rally but now we are going into something far more important, because the rallies were used for us to be put in this position where we can really help our country. that's what we are going to do. we are going to make our country better than it ever has been. many people have told me that god spared my life for a reason.

and that reason was to save our country and to restore america to greatness. and now we are going to fulfill that mission together. we are going to fulfill that mission. the task before us will not be easy, but i will bring every ounce of energy, spirit and fight that i have in my soul to the job that you've entrusted to me. this is a great job, there is no job like this. this is the most important job in the world. just as i did in my first term, we had a great, great first term. i will govern by a simple motto. promises made, promises kept. we are going to keep our promises. nothing will stop me from keeping my word to you, the people. we will make america safe, strong, prosperous, powerful and free again and i'm asking every

citizen all across our land to join me in this noble and righteous endeavor. it is time to put the divisions of the past four years behind us. it is time to unite. and we are going to try. we have to try. it's going to happen. success will bring us together. i've seen that. i saw that in the first term when we became more and more successful. people started coming together. success is going to bring us together and we are going to start by all putting america first. we have to put our country first. we have to fix it. because together we can truly make america great again for all americans. so i want to just tell you what a great honor this is. i want to thank you, i will not let you down. america's future will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer and stronger than it has ever been before. god bless you and god bless

♪ >> i need to get this off the microphone. thank you. look, today starts a new wave. we talked about wanting a red wave. i think what we have tonight is a red, white and blue wave in this country. because what we need in the united states of america is leaders in washington, d.c. that actually put the interest of american citizens above all else we are tired of being treated like second-class citizens in our own country. we are tired of leaders that think we are garbage and we are

tired of being treated like garbage. my opponent talked a lot about helping the working man. and i will agree with him on the need to help working americans. but the difference is talk without action is nothing. so what we are going to do, thanks to now having a republican majority, by the way, how about that, in the united states senate. and chuck schumer, if you're watching it, thanks for the help in the primary, but you're fired, buddy. [applause] this is a new dawn of republican leadership. where president trump and jd vance in the white house, we are going to advance an agenda that is an american agenda. an agenda that says we are pro-immigration but not pro-invasion.

we are going to make certain that the people who come to this country are invited here. are invited here like i was in my family was on our terms. we are going to make this country and energy domination, so that my kids do not grow up in a country where we ever rely on a foreign nation for energy ever, ever again. and we have that energy right here in ohio. that means coal, that means natural gas, it means oil and means nuclear. and in terms of ev mandates, they need to be gone first thing in january. and we are going to make certain that we tell california you don't get to dictate to the whole country what our emissions standards are. we are going to dictate that at the federal level and we are going to allow consumers to pick the kind of car they want. the other piece that i want to talk about and what president trump is brought to this

country, peace instability around the world. america will be a leader in the world. we will always be a leader in the world. american leadership has made a planet safer, more prosperous and more secure than any point in human history. but it means that we ensure peace through strength. the weakness of joe biden and kamala harris is rejected, and i know that whether it is in jerusalem or kyiv or anywhere else on earth or taiwan, they are cheering this election because they know american strength will ensure peace, peace around the world. and if you are a police officer in this country, just know you have a senator in me and the republican party that will always have your back. and we got rid of chuck schumer

tonight, but pretty soon we are going to get rid of another couple of people that need to be gone. first, wendy weingarten should start packing her bags. what we need in this country is school choice for all americans. and as i look at my children, i'm blessed with four kids, and by the way can we give my wife an amazing round of applause? thank you. bridget. look, we need to make certain that we honor teachers. that we honor teachers. they are doing great work in every corner of the country. teachers are our front line. unfortunately, they have a teachers union that doesn't care about them.

we are going to make sure we empower teachers to teach our kids what they need to do, and that means getting the federal government out of the way and allowing states to take on that responsibility. and finally, i'm going to say this. we are $36 trillion in debt. this is not sustainable. we cannot continue on this fiscal path. what we are going to do is massively reduce the size and scale of the federal government and we are going to do it from congress because it is congress that has the power of the purse. that starts by getting rid of agencies that we don't need. relocating them out of washington, d.c. we are going to have a bold and ambitious agenda for the republican party and i know that president trump is going to bring greatness back to this country unlike anything we've ever seen. so president trump, if you're watching, thank you. thank you for being decisive in my primary.

thank you for being the greatest president of my generation. and thank you for the sacrifices that you've made for this country. this country is donald j. trump a debt of gratitude. and to senator jd vance. ohio loves you, man. ohio loves you. i love you. look, i cannot think of a more brilliant pick then when president trump selected jd vance. i know jd and let me just tell you he's a great man. he's going to be incredible vice president. i can't wait to have him leave his office so i can be the senior senator from ohio. i also just got off the phone with my friend jim jordan. jim is a great human being, a great power here in ohio.

jim jordan, thank you so much for what you've done. i'd also like to thank my campaign team. we built the greatest campaign team out there and if you are watching this and you want to go to washington, d.c. and you are from ohio and you want to go down there to make a difference, let's talk tomorrow. let's talk tomorrow. because we are going to build incredible senate operation, and incredible constituent services operation because i believe that people who pay taxes deserve a government that works for them. and then finally, let me just say to my kids, thank you so much for being on this journey with us. i have absolutely been blessed by god almighty with an amazing wife, amazing kids, three amazing grandkids. but i want to introduce you to my extended family on this election day.

over performing catholics. i'm going to bring my siblings up on stage. where are they, they are all there. let's give them a round of applause. [applause] i'm going to say one last thing. my mom and dad left the safety and security of knowing what they had when they left colombia, south america. they didn't know what america would mean to them, they should know what it would mean to the seven of us, but they did it anyway because they knew that in america, whatever dream you have, whatever ideas you have, you can make them come true if you are willing to work hard enough and persevere. and my mom and dad are not alive to watch this moment, but i know they are up in heaven watching down upon us and thinking this

is a great country. and they made the right decision. and i know one person my mom and dad would be looking down and saying this is an amazing thing is my sister. they would be so proud of you for everything that you've done. you've been kind of our substitute mom along the way. vicki, you were almost like my mom growing up. both my parents worked really, really hard so vicki was the one to make sure that i always stayed true to myself. my brother louise, thank you for your leadership and guidance. i think chuck schumer and sherrod brown ou a little bit of an apology. i don't think it will come. and to jose and alex and richie,

thank you so much for kicking the crap out of me when i was younger. you made me tough. to all of you, we celebrate tonight not as republicans, we celebrate tonight as americans. and to the people out there in ohio who didn't vote for me, just know that i will always advocate for you, i will always have your back and i will work for the next six years to win you over. because my responsibility is to the entirety of ohio. they will always work tirelessly to make sure that we do everything possible, that i work my tail off to make your lives better. so to ohio, for all the people i've met on the campaign trail, to the thousands and thousands of people who pray for me, pray for bridget and cap does in your prayers, i can't tell you what

this means. it's the greatest honor of my life to represent you in washington, d.c. and i will not let you down. thank you so much. ♪

>> thank you, thank you. we may be tempted to say hope was not enough. we might be tempted to second-guess ourselves and question whether we work hard enough or long enough. that is not our story tonight. we believe that all work has dignity, we always will.

we believe in the power of people over corporate special interests, we always will. we believe if you love this country you fight for the people who make it work, we always will. this is a disappointment, but it is not a failure. you will never be wrong, you will never be wrong to fight for organized labor. you will never be wrong to fight for the freedom of women. to make your health care decisions. it surely will never be wrong to fight for civil rights and human rights. tonight i'm sad, but i'm never giving up. in the light of day i know most of you are never giving up, either. i will close the same way i closed pretty much every speech in my career fighting for ohio because the values i fight for have not changed, and will never

change. in my lapel i wear this pin. you might have heard this before. it was given to me decades ago by a steelworker. you know the story. turn-of-the-century. coal miners took the canary down in the minds with them to warn them of ways in this gas. the workers in those days knew they didn't have a union strong enough or a government that cared enough to look out for him. he was on his own. over the last century and a half we have done so much to change that. all of those fights required going up against powerful special interests. i think about the lesson that any union organizer knows. they don't just give you fair wages, safe workplaces, good benefits. they don't just give it to you, you go out and take it. [applause] that's how progress has always worked in this country. wall street and corporations

didn't say one day you know, people work so hard out there we ought to have social security and we ought to have an eight hour day and time and a half and a ban on child labor. no, we fought for it, we demanded it, and we got it. [applause] the big insurance companies didn't all of a sudden say a lot of people are sick, we ought to provide seniors health care. no, we fought for it, we demanded and we got medicare. and in the 1960's a bunch of segregationist southern senators didn't just decide one day everybody ought to be able to vote in this country. no, we fought for it, we demanded it, and we got voting rights. and then last year politicians didn't all of a sudden say you know, we really ought to stop interfering in women's personal health care decisions. of course not. he fought for abortion rights in

ohio, we demanded it and begot it. [applause] and all those fights, progress didn't happen on its own. we know there are so many fights still ahead. when i first came to the senate, my sender stevie one of those really expensive, fancy pieces of jewelry. it worked -- i wore it for a couple days but it just in feel right so i took it off and i put my canary pin back on. and i've worn that canary pin every day since. so tonight, nothing changes. i don't take this off, i'm not giving up on our fight for workers and i know you won't, either. thank you. ♪
