♪ and i'll gladly stand up next

to you because there ain't no doubt i love this land god bless the u.s.a. ♪♪ >> u.s.a.! u.s.a.! u.s.a.! pres. trump: thank you very much. thank you. thank you. [cheers and applause] and a very special hello to cpac. it's been a long time. love to be back. this place is packed. you got to see outside. i can't. i don't know what's happening. they have no idea what's

happening. and our friend is here from argentina and our friend is here from poland. stand up! [cheers and applause] great job. thank you. thank you very much. welcome back to the nation's capital where our movement is thriving, fighting, winning and dominating washington like never before. nobody's ever seen anything like this before. they used to have little smaller crowds here. this is a little bit bigger. the fraudsters, liars, cheaters, globalists and deep state bureaucrats are being sent packing. the illegal alien criminals are being sent home. we're draining the swamp and we're restoring government by the people, for the people. for years, washington which controlled by a group of radical left marxist, warmongers and

sucked our country dry, not any longer. but on november 5, we stood up to all the corrupt forces that were destroying america we took away their power. we took away their confidence. they lost their confidence. you know? you ever watch? they lost their confidence it was so nice to watch. and we took back our country. and we must be doing something right because we've got the highest poll numbers that i've ever had and that any republican president has ever had. [applause] and our approval rating is now the highest ever across all demographics. rasmussen just came out at 56%. insider advantage, 56%, rmg research, 57%.

and we have many polls in the mid 60's. one at 71%. we like that. 71. and according to u gov, a big deal. 70% of americans believe what we are doing is right and we are keeping our promises. [applause] that's all we had to do. and their promises weren't wild to vote for. don't tell them, don't tell them. keep it quiet. we'll tell them about a week before the next election. now keep it quiet. let them think it's a great thing what they're doing. you saw maine yesterday, right? the governor of maine.

she's fighting to keep men in women's sports. you ever see what happens to a woman when a woman boxes, a man who transitioned to womb hood? did you ever -- womanhood? did you see what happens? it's not pretty. it's not pretty. let her to that fight. let them all do that fight. because i think that's about a 90-10 issue and i can't figure out what the 10% are. nobody can. so today, i want to say thank you to all of the incredible patriots of cpac and the incredible patriots of our country. 77 million and it's much more than that because despite that, they cheated like hell. it was too big to rig. it was too big to rig. [applause] 77 million. remember you used to go i said we're leading in the polls by a lot don't believe the polls. just go out to vote. and they tried.

but it was too big to rig. one of the great statements. we love it. because everybody wouldn't have voted we fought through hell together. but in the end, we achieved the great liberation of america. we're liberating our country right now. we're doing all these things that you're reading about. we're liberating our country. i first spoke to this gathering 14 years ago. and i won your straw poll. i didn't know anything about a straw poll. they took this big straw poll and i won by like 27 points and i figured, you know, that's good. maybe i should keep doing it and i did. and i became president. [applause] isn't that great? who would think? who would think? but he became president, too. he's a maga guy too. make argentina great again, right? [applause] i kept hearing about this man.

i kept hearing about this man in beautiful argentina and it is beautiful but boy, did it have inflation. inflation made it less beautiful. i hear you're doing fantastic. we were very proud of you, actually. make argentina great thank you very much. great honor to have you. but now it's my honor to address you for the first time as your 47th president of the united states. [cheers and applause] great honor. >> u.s.a.! u.s.a.! u.s.a.! u.s.a.! u.s.a.! pres. trump: i want to begin by thanking matt and mercedes, the incredible job they do and everyone, everyone they put together. they put together an amazing team.

the american conservative union for organizing this event. along with -- oh you have some big players here. senator ted cruz, eric schmidt, jim banks of indiana. where is eric? where is eric? hello, eric. you can see eric anywhere. if he's right in the back of the room, he stands up. they're all good these are great people. representatives, riley moore, james comer, harriet hagerman, byron donalds. our great attorney general. she's going to be great. pam bondy. i don't know where she is. so many people. so many people. secretary doug berkam. secretary chris wright. secretary scott turner.

our next ambassador to the united nations, elise stefanik who just gave a great speech, by the way. a very good friend of mine. is this guy central casting though? tom hollman. is he central cast something where is -- i love tom. how can i love a buy like that? but i do. he's doing a great job. thank you, tom, very much. thank you. i appreciate it. arkansas governor, sarah sanders. thank you, sarah. thank you. and pennsylvania attorney general, dave sunday. i love that name. we're also honored to be joined by president duda of poland, who's a fantastic man and a great friend of mine.

and we got 84% of the polish people that voted for us. so, you must be doing something right, huh? hanging out with trump. and again, president mi lle of argentina. thank you very much. what a great guy. and the prime minister of slovakia. thank you, robert. thank you. nice to see you. the leader of the u.k. reform party who, by the way, did really well in that last election. i've been his friend for a long time and i wasn't sure am i supposed to be his friend or not but it never mattered to me. i always liked him. but it's easier to like him when he got the kind of oats he got he took it by storm and they say he's going to do it even better this time. nigel farage.

where is nigel? thank you, nigel. thank you. what a great guy. the leader of spain's box party. thank you, san diego. thank you very much. i thought that was you. thank you very much. great job you're doing. and a friend of mine, eduardo bosinaro of brazil. the chamber of deputies. thank you. say hello to your father. great family. great gentleman. and a great family. and our first lady, melania is watching us on television. so give her a hand. give her a hand. [applause] whoa!

thank you. thank you. oh, she's going to be happy. that's so nice. we love our first lady. everybody does. with the help of so many incredible supporters here today, we're going to forge a new and lasting political majority that will drive american politics for generations to come. i think we're going to do fantastically well in the mid terms. you know in theory, the one that wins the presidency does not do well the mid terms. but i think this is going to be a change. we're at a level -- i don't think we've been at this level maybe ever as the republican party. we're a bigger, better, stronger party than ever before. more people in our party than ever before. but the people have given us a resounding mandate for dramatic change in washington and we are going to deliver it. we're going to use it. and we're going to make america great again by using it. so it's got to be something. but think of it at the

presidential level, we won the popular vote by millions and millions of votes we swept all seven swing states, michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, north carolina, georgia, arizona, nevada. all by great margins. we won 85% of all of the counties in america. that means that map was red. did you ever see the map? did you see the certified map? where is it? i want to see a certified map. we won 2,600 counties. it's the biggest margin ever recorded. and incredibly for the first time ever, all 50 states shifted toward the republican party. that's never happened before. so, it was indeed, too big to

rig. we won the largest number of african american votes in republican history by far. we won the largest number of hispanic american votes any republican ever. hispanic americans, we love you! the energy, the brazilians of hispanic americans. we won all the cities and towns on the texas border. got it a call from our great governor of texas who said president, you just won every single town along the texas border to mexico. i said oh. is that good? he said it hasn't happened since reconstruction. i said define construction for me. he said that means essentially the civil war. that's a long time.

one of the main reasons not that we're conservative or anything else, we are the party of common sense it's about common sense, right? it's all about common sense. over the past month, we've confirmed an all-star game of warriors, patriots, visionaries and put the america first agenda into action. i see doug sitting over there. i looked at him and i said i got to have him here. he was a great governor. he's involved with little things called energy. he's got the department of interior. and chris wright has the department of energy. so chris has no energy and doug has all of the energy. chris has more interior, but he doesn't have -- so i merged them. so now you have an energy guy and you have the guy with all the energy. and you're going to drill, baby,

drill, aren't you, huh? drill, baby, drill. and katherine, stand up. his wife is with incredible. -- incredible woman. you got very lucky, doug. [laughter] it's good be successful, isn't it? she's an incredible woman he's an incredible guy. in addition to the great cabinet of secretaries we have here today, we confirmed secretary of defense, pete hegseth. he is fantastic. thank you. to stop the weaponization of federal law enforcement. i know about that i think better than any human being on earth. this week we swore in a new director of the f.b.i., somebody that everybody wanted, kash patel.

[applause] kash is great. he's a popular guy. he went the blessing of a lot of people too. it was great. to end the politicization of our intelligent agencies. we confirmed director of national intelligence, tulsi gabbard, who is something. very respected. highly respected. and we to make america healthy again, we confirmed secretary of health and human services, robert f. kennedy jr. [applause] great guy. we need him. we need him. you know there's a number on

autism. it's an example with children, autism. and you go back 15 years. it was from 10 to 20,000. you had like one in 10 to 20,000. some say 10, some say 20. but in that vicinity. that's a big vicinity. now it's one in 36 babies have autism. one in 36. it was one in probably 20,000 people. now it's one in 36. there's something wrong. something's wrong. and bobby is going to find it. working with dr. oz, by the way. working with dr. oz. together, we've achieved more in four weeks than most administrations achieve in four years we've made a lot of progress. i heard olayly said donald trump for the first four weeks is the

greatest president ever in the history of our country. that was o'reilly. [applause] bill o'reilly is all right. you know he said second was? george washington. i beat george washington. i love beating george washington. thank you, bill. on our first day in office, we declared a national emergency at our southern border after years of politicians using our military to defend foreign borders while leaving our country defenseless and helpless we deployed a group of people active duty troops to defend our border and repel the invasion of our country. this was an invasion. you know, we had a great first term. a really great first term and i called it an invasion we've had the best numbers we've ever had. we've done it all in four weeks. think of it. that was tom hollman, kristi

noem, the whole group. when day one, i ended the catch and release. i reinstated remain in mexico when i signed an order that will end birth right citizenship for the citizens of illegal aliens. because it wasn't meant for this children. it wasn't meant for people that escaped or invaded. came into our country illegally. it was meant for the children of slaves. they shouldn't be here. this week, i also canceled temporary protected status for migrants from haiti.

they're pouring into our country. pouring in. there would be nobody in haiti anymore. they were pouring in at levels from other countries, too. all turnover africa. the congo, all over south america. and they were coming in from prisons and mental institutions. you have to see gang members, drug lords. i haven't said that name in a while. no, i haven't said that name in a while. kamala. i bet nobody knows your last name. nobody ever knows her last name. even during the campaign. you would have to say kamala. it's strange.

a little different name. kamala. her last name was harris. i used to say senator harris. nobody knew who the hell i was talking about. so i had to go kamala. but think of it. i was beating joe badly. really badly. and they changed him. i'm the only one that ever had to beat two people. he was doing bad. that's like the great danea white. he has a fight and one guy is doing really badly and they put another guy at the fight. i had that. we're the first in everything. they said who do you run against? we're running against biden and kamala harris. but illegal border crossings now

have plummeted by almost 100%. the borders are never called the border. never called the great people of the border. they have unbelievable -- i call them so much they couldn't take my calls. they hated me. how are we doing? they have to call. and we called the right guys. the border patrol endorsement and these people. they weren't supposed to. you're not supposed to do that. i said this is crazy. and ice and our general law enforcement and by the way, our great, great firemen and fire women too. they were great. they all endorse us. with the police, we got high

90's in terms of -- and many of them were unionized, you know? we have a young lady who's right now, going for the department of labor. and she tends to be a little bit, a little bit on the slightly left of center. and everybody said why did they do that? i said why? because unions like her and labor likes her and a lot of people like her and she's very solid, very strong and she's going to do the right thing but they all voted for us. we got the teamsters, the firefighters, the police, we got the autoworkers. we're so great. we had tremendous support. so i think it's nice to a lot f people say, why did you do that? because i want to do something nice for these people that voted for me. oh, gee, what a great political move that was! now they're all saying, what a

great political move. it's all common sense, really. remember that sean o'brian, the whole group, they were fantastic it. over the past few weeks, we've begun the largest deportation in history. even larger than that of president dwight d. eisenhower. very moderate man. he was very strong. he didn't like people running into our country and taking over our country. i tell you, i had four years -- i don't know if you had this -- i can't saskatoon it! i couldn't stand it don't get angry. donald, don't get angry, please. i couldn't stand it! watching these people come in from jails and mental institutions and the worst criminals in the street, gang members being dropped off in buses and bused into our country. i couldn't stand it! so i said, are i'm going to run for president again. now we don't have that problem.

now we don't have that problem. anymore. we don't have that problem anymore. we now have the best border we've ever had and by the way, if they could ever find my world's favorite chart ever in history, i'll show you what it was when i left and now it's even slightly better. can you drop that chart, do you think? i don't know. i never tell them about this, but they used to drop it like magic. if they can, they'll drop it. who the hell knows? it's my favorite chart, my favorite chart in history. we're liberating communities like aurora, colorado, and springfield, ohio, that have been occupied by illegal alien criminals from all over the world. we're rescuing the americans, whose jobs have been stolen, whose wages have been robbed and whose way of life has been

absolutely destroyed and under the trump administration, our country will not be turned into a dumping ground. we're going to have a great country again. it's going to happen soon. a lot sooner than you think and we're going to have so much money coming in from tariffs, oh. you're going to say, your senators and congressmen are going to say, please, sir, you're making us look so bad. we have so much money coming in. i didn't know this was going to happen. please don't do this to us. we look very bad. they're great. they're doing well. the republican senators just -- they're sticking together, the running congressman and women are sticking together. every once in a while, you have one that wants a little action or something, i don't know what it is. it's so sad to see. i just hate to see it. i hate to see it. but they're sticking together. one thing about the democrats, they have rotten, horrible

policy. the worst policy in history. they stick together. we have great policy, but sometimes they don't stick, but they've been sticking for us. they've been sticking. and i think the speaker and the leader have done a fantastic job. that's thune and johnson and two guys really working hard and doing -- they're really doing a great job. we have a lot to stick with. we have a lot to stick together for because what we've done has never been done before. nobody's ever seen anything like this, and nobody's ever seen four weeks like we've had, especially the four weeks, the first four weeks. you know, that's like if you golf, when you sink that first four-footer in the first hole, it gives you confidence on the next hole, you sink another one. now you got third hole and by the time you go to the fifth hole, you feel like you can't miss. like a baseball player that hits the first one and the second at-bat he hits that one, and we have great confidence.

they've lost their confidence, as i said. they really lost their confidence. i watched them. they're really screwed up. i watched this ms nbc which is a threat to democracy, actually. yeah. they stone cold me. they're stuttering. they're all screwed up. they're all mentally screwed up. their ratings have gone down the tubes. i don't even talk about cnn. cnn's sort of like -- they're pathetic, actually. msnbc is mean. rachel maddow, what does she have? she took a sabbatical. they paid her a lot of money. she gets no ratings. i should go against her in the ratings because i'll tell you, she gets -- all she does is talk about trump, trump, trump. all different subjects, trump this, trump that. they lie. they shouldn't be allowed to

lie. every night -- they are really a vehicle of the democrat party. they should be paying -- is that gordon? the great gordon chang? stand up, gordon. wow! we have everybody here today! thank you very much. how am i doing on china? am i doing good on china? i'll tell you one thing: nobody's ever done like i've done on china. nobody ever let anybody know what was happening with china. i happen to like president xi and i have tremendous respect for the people of china. love the people of china. but we've been treated very unfairly by china and many other countries and we're not being fairly untreated anymore. we had that down to a science in the first term and then they lost it. you know, we lost over a trillion dollars to china this last year under biden, crooked

joe biden. what do we like better, crooked joe or sleepy joe? ready? ready? crooked joe or sleepy? ready? crooked joe! [ cheering ] sleepy joe? [ cheering ] he said i'm a six handicap. i said you're not a 36 handicap. he said he's a six. he said, i am eight. remember? i said, that was quick. picked up two strokes. he said, no, i'm an eight. he's not a 36 handicap. he had one ability that was amazing. he could go with cameras on him, television, fake news on him, probably he knows they wouldn't it badly. he this covered him as well as you can cover him. how the hell can you cover the guy? but he had this incredible -- he

could barely walk in the sand. somebody thought he looked great in a bathing suit. and he would walk in the sand, pulling a thing that weighed about six ounces, you know those aluminum -- aluminum's very good. a child -- it's meant for children and very old people to lift, right. so he would put it down and he would put it down, and he would fall into it and he would immediately fall asleep in front of the media. i could never do that. that's the only thing i could never do it. no. he was sleepy joe. but he was crooked as hell. you know. there's no question. he was a sleepy, crooked guy. terrible. terrible president.

jimmy carter passed away a happy man. the border. every single thing he touched turned to shit, okay. everything. (cheering) it's true. it's true it. it's true. now franklin graham's angry at me. you know that, franklin wrote me a letter and said i love your speeches. i love them so much. but they would be better if you would never use foul language, and i told him, i said, franklin, you know -- franklin graham is a great guy, does a great job -- the son of the great billy graham, right. but i said to franklin, you

know, sometimes you need it for emphasis, and he said, no, no, they would be even better if you wouldn't use any bad language. that's not really a terrible word, you know. but that's a much more appropriate word, a better -- what word would i use to describe? what word could i use? we have to be truthful too. so, you know. all countries are now taking their illegal aliens back, even those that stated strongly, we will never take 'em back! don't ever send them to us. but they said that during the biden administration. they never said it during my administration. venezuela's taken them back. they're all -- colombia's taken them back. remember colombia said we will not take them back, he said. within about thirteen minutes, i think, we would love to take them back. in fact, we will send our planes to pick them up. remember?

(applause) they said, what happened? what happened? and you see these venezuelan plane loaded up. they know we're not playing games and just this week i officially designated bloodthirsty cartels and murderous gangs terrorist organizations, something biden didn't want to do. it's true. the full and mighty power of the federal government will now be dedicated to eradicating ms13, trend aragua. the only good thing about them is they make our criminals look like nice people. it's true. remember when they used to say, people that come in from foreign countries are nice people. these are wonderful people. these are good people. they're not murderers.

they're not terrible. these people make us look like babies, okay. you know the hells angels? they're amongst nicest people on earth when you compare them to these thugs. and the hells angels actually love our country, if you can believe that. they actually do. but their members and their in the united states will be hunted down -- i'm talking about ms13 -- they're hunting them down. we removed tens of thousands ms13 trendaragua, rooted out, arrested and expelled from our soil expelled like the savage monsters they are. we don't have anybody come up from argentina. nobody's coming up from argentina. to facilitate the mass removal of criminal aliens. i also issued an executive order to make available the full capacity and detention. we'll use gaunt bay. we have a detention facility

that's actually massive. nobody even knew it existed. holds thousands of. we never used it. for four long years you had a president who put illegal aliens up in penthouse suites and beautiful hotels on park avenue, on madison avenue, on fifth avenue in manhattan. no you you have a president who is stamping ticket to gitmo on a one-way trip back to the places from which they came, the wonderful places. big difference. (applause) my administration is also moving swiftly to save the u.s. economy from the train wreck of inflation and worst, joe biden created. i withdrew from the one-sided paris climate a'court. it was a disaster. that was a disaster. i terminated the green new scam. one of the greatest hoaxes ever played on this country is the green new scam. we spent trillions of dollars on

this nonsense, and just a total hoax. it really set back our country, i want to tell you. monetarily and every other way. i canceled joe biden's insane electric vehicle mandate where everybody has to have an electric vehicle. (applause) and if you want an electric car, get an electric car. if you want a gasoline-powered car, if you want to have a hybrid, you get it. the only thing you can't do is a hydrogen-powered car. you know why? they said it really works great but when it doesn't work, you never find the body. it's a bad -- that's a bad sign. you know, when it doesn't work, they found the body on a tree about 250 yards up the road. it's seriously bad. we'll leave hydrogen out of it for a little while, i think. or maybe permanently. i would say permanently. to crush inflation by slashing spending, i imposed an immediate federal hiring freeze, a federal

regulation freeze and a foreign aid freeze. we've given to countries that hate us. we're giving billions and billions of dollars to countries that hate us, and i signed an order creating the department of government efficiency. you probably haven't heard of it. which is now waging war on government waste, fraud and abuse, and elon is doing a great job. he's doing a great job. (cheering) we love elon, don't we? is that guy -- he's a character. with his son, "x." we love "x." he's the only one kid -- his son's really named "x." he's the only one can get away with naming a son "x." if we ever did it, you're crazy. he's great. he's doing a great job. he doesn't need this. he doesn't need it. but he wants to see -- he's a

patriot. people said, what what official position does he have? i said, patriot. oh. they didn't know -- they said, that was good. he's a patriot. here are some of the flagrant scams that, as an example, they've spent money on and we've been able to recapture for a large dose of it at least. 520 million dollars for a consultant to -- think of it $520 million -- 520 million -- when i hire consultants and they just take advantage of, it's a horrible thing to watch and i give them $25,000 i feel i'm overpaying. environmental, social, governance and investments in africa, 25 million dollars to promote biodiversity conservation and socially responsible behavior in colombia. this is colombia, south america, not columbia university. of course, that might be worse, actually.

based on their actions. 40 million dollars to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants. nobody knows where, who are they? where do they come from? just sedentary migrant. nobody knows what a sedentary migrant is. if they were sedentary, they wouldn't be a migrant, right? they wouldn't move. they wouldn't move. (applause) they would say in the same place, right, doug? 42 million dollars for social and behavior change in uganda. $10 million for mozambique medical male circumcisions. why are we going to mozambique to do circumcisions? that's a lot of money. $14 million for improving public procurement in serbia. here's a beauty. $486 million to a consortium of elections and political process

strengthening ideas of which $22 million goes to inclusive and participatory political process in moldova. $29 million goes to strengthen the political landscape and help them out so that they can vote for a radical left communist in bangladesh. you got to see who they supported. you wouldn't believe -- you would believe it. nobody in this room would be in that group. $20 million for fiscal federalism and $19 million for biodiversity in nepal. $47 million for improving learning outcomes in asia. $18 million for helping india with its elections. why the hell -- why don't we just go to all-paper ballots and let us help them with their elections. voter id. wouldn't that be nice? giving money to india for

elections -- they don't need money. they take advantage of us pretty good. one of the highest tariffed nations in the world. we try and sell something, they have a 200% tariff and then we're giving them a lot of money to help with their election. $32 million for the prague civil society center. $14 million for social cohesion in liberia. 9.7 million dollars to develop a cohort cambodian youth with enterprise-driven skills. think of that. millions of dollars for sex change operations in guatemala. $20 million for a "sesame street" in iraq. they put on a little play on the street. $20 million! you could to do it on broadway and have $19 million left over! it's a scam. they get kickbacks and all sorts of things. it's a scam. who ever heard of it, $20 million "sesame street" play?

we're also uncovering outrageous incompetence in fraud in the social security. we have -- look, let's assume that people generally speaking, in our case, in everybody in this room, we're going to all live way over a hundred. but this is a little ridiculous, because not too many people are going over a hundred. everybody hopefully in this room will, but there are, in the social security ranks and files, and what we're doing now is finding out, do they get paid? do they get paid? in other words, is somebody taking all of this money? so they have over 100 to 109, 4.7 million social security numbers. think of that. from people whose age is over 100. 3.6 million people whose age is over 110 years. 3.47 million people who are over 120 years of age.

3.9 million people whose age goes from 130 to 139 years of age. 3.5 million whose age goes from 140 to 149 years old. 1.3 -- it's coming down now slowly. it's all a scam. the whole thing is a scam. 1.3 million people who are over 150 years of age. and over 130,000 people are listed on our security rolls as over 160 years of age. the final is that 1,039 -- now we're into reasonable numbers -- are listed between the ages of 220 years old to 229. and we have one person who's

listed at 241 years of age. and... we have one person listed at 360 years of age, an all-time record, and our country's 250 years old. so that person substantially older than our country. under our administration, there will be no tolerance for social security fraud. we will not allow anyone to cheat our seniors and those who will do that will be prosecuted by pam bondi and others. (applause) we are also going to fort knox. i'm going to go with elon. (cheering) would anybody like to join us? (cheering) because we want to see if the gold is still there. we want to see. wouldn't that be terrible, we open up this fort knox has got

-- it's just solid grant that's five feet thick. the front door, you need six musclemen to open it up. i don't even think they have windows. wouldn't that be terrible if we opened it up and there was no gold there? so we're going to open those doors. we're going to take a look and if there's 27 tonnes of gold, we'll be very happy. i don't know how the hell we're going to measure it but that's okay. we want to see lots of nice beautiful shiny gold in fort knox. don't be totally surprised, if we open the door, there's nothing here! they stole this too! nah, we have a very corrupt group of people in this country. we're finding them out. we're removing all of the unnecessary incompetent and corrupt bureaucrats from the federal workforce. that's what we're doing. under the buyouts, we offered federal employees more than 75,000 federal bureaucrats have

voluntarily surrendered their jobs. we want to keep government smaller, more efficient and keep the best people and we're not going to keep the worst people. and you know, we're doing another thing, if they don't report for work, we're firing them. in other words, you have to go to office. right? right? look at her. if you don't report to work -- you know, that's another scam -- you know, who the hell -- if i'm staying home, i'm going to -- let's say my golf handicap would get down to a very low number. you would be shocked if i told you the real number. i would be so good -- i would try and get on tour. i would be so good. i would call up and i would say, listen, i'm really working here. where are my clubs? either that or in many cases they have second jobs while they're getting paid by us. one of the reasons they're leaving is because they don't want to have to show that. and we're demanding to see that information. how many jobs have you had? who paid you while you were

working for the government? and we are demanding that people if, if they work for the government, they have to sit in an office and do their job, right? (applause) weave effective ended the scam of usaid, the agency's name. has been removed from its former building and that space will now house agents from customs and border patrol. beautiful. at the ultra left cfpb, which was terrible -- so many people have been hurt by that -- i used to get calls from lending officers, from owners of small banks, and they were almost crying. what they did to those people, they destroyed them, put them out of business. they established -- it was established by elizabeth pocahontas warren. remember the pocahontas scam? i'm an indian.

therefore, i'm entitled to be a senator. i'm an indian, she said. could we see proof of that, please? she said, well, the only proof i have is my mother said i have high cheekbones. oh. that's no good, right. remember, she went out -- i spoke to her -- remember she went out and couldn't take it anymore. pocahontas, pocahontas. everyone knew she was not an indian. i had more indian blood than her and i have no indian blood. i would be honored to but i don't have any but i had more than her. do you remember she went out and she had a blood test and it came back and she was so happy because it said 1,024th. that means everybody in this room had more than her. but because there was even the scant -- 1 million years ago, something could have happened. and she was so happy that she released it and she got killed. that was the end of her

presidential career. she does not like me very much. she's a very angry person. do you notice the way she is? she's is always screaming and she's crazy. these people are crazy. the radical left is meaner. i don't know what it is, doug. they're meaner than us, aren't they? we're, like, normal people. you know, we're smart. we get -- we don't go crazy. of course, they'll take my little rant from fifteen minutes ago, the fake news, he lost control on the stage! he lost control! and they'll have me screening, having to do with poor franklin. he lost control. these people are bad. they are really sick too. i don't get it. you know, you think that we love our country -- they have no ratings. nobody listens to them. nobody believes the fake "new york times." washington post is doing no business. they're losing all their business. nobody believes them. but we have escorted the radical left bureaucrats and locked the

doors behind them. we've gotten rid of thousands. i withdrew the united states from the corrupt world health organization. i withdrew from the antisemitism u.n. human rights council. the council is horrible. i withdrew from the terrorist supporting u.n. relief and works agency. u.n. has such great potential but not the way it's run now. it's terrible the way it's run now. we stopped all taxpayer money to these corrupt institutions and by the way, just -- who the hell knows we got to talk about something very important -- the war between russia and ukraine. people are being killed, mostly young men, mostly russian and ukrainian men at levels you'd never seen before. thousands of people a week. i've spoken to president putin and i think that thing is going to end, but it's got to end. it's a horrible, horrible thing to watch. (applause) i'm dealing with president

zelenskyy. i'm dealing with president putin. i'm trying to get the money back that -- or secured because, you know, europe has given $100 billion. the united states has given $350 billion because we had a stupid, incompetent president and administration. 350. but here's worse: europe gave it in the form of a loan. they get their money back. we gave it in the form of nothing, so i want them to give us something for all of the money that we put up and i'm going to try and get the war settled and i'm going to try and get all that death ended. so we're asking for rare earth and oil -- anything we can get. but we feel so stupid. here's europe and, you know, it affects europe -- it doesn't really affect us, except we don't like to see -- two things.

number one, how biden got us into this thing in the first place, terrible. but why is it that he didn't ask for equalization? europe should put up more money than us. even if you said the same thing, how come we went we went out so far in front. how come he didn't know europe gets their money back? we didn't get our money back. we're going to get our money back because it's not fair. it's just not fair. and we will see. but i think we're pretty close to a deal and we better be close to a deal. because that has been a horrible situation. it would have never happened if i were president. and by the way, october 7th, israel would have never happened if i was president too. it would have never happened. iran was broke. they had no money for hamas or hezbollah. they had no money to give. everybody knows that. jewish people know that. iran was broke. they were not giving money around. and when i got out, they took

all the sanctions off biden and iran became rich very quickly. with oil you can become rich very, very quickly. the rest is history. what a horrible thing. even though the hostages are coming back, i saw it this morning, where we got six more back, biden got none back, pith by the way, zero. they're coming back in pretty bad shape. it as horrible thing. and many are dead. many are dead. so we'll see how that all ends up. but it's a horrible thing. i wanted you to know we're working on that. that's a very big part of it. i don't like talking about because we're in the middle of negotiations. (applause) it's a very, very sad -- it would have never happened. there was no way -- russia was never going to go in and they went in because of a lot of reasons and so many people are dead. far more people are dead than you're reading about. you know, when they blow up all these cities, all those cities

are -- they look like demolition sites. every single building is down. all of those beautiful golden towers that are a thousand years old, they're lying on the ground in smithereens, there's nothing left of them. they're just lying on the ground, never to be rebuilt again, not possible to rebuild them again. all of that heritage is gone. people have done a really horrible job. that would have never -- if i were president, zero chance that a shot would even have been fired. it wouldn't have happened. so sad. to further turbo charge our economy, we have launched the most aggressive deregulation program in any nation's history, and we're also going to be seeking the largest tax cuts in american history again. we brought them down, as you know. from close to 40ers counsel o-- 40% and we're bringing them down to 15% if you make your product in the united states of america.

we're defending the american worker like never before, and that's why the autoworkers and the union workers and the teamsters and so many others, they supported us. the firemen, the policemen, so many others, were they were union or nonunion, they all supported us. it's called workers and they supported us at levels that nobody's ever seen before. weeks ago, i imposed a 10 percent tariff on all goods coming from china because of the fact that they're sending fentanyl into our country through mexico, by the way. i'm not happy with mexico or i'm not happy with canada either. i imposed 25% tarrifs on all foreign steel and aluminum, and i will soon impose reciprocal tariffs on any country that charges us, and by the way, reciprocal means, they charge us, we charge them, same thing. so nobody can be upset, right. we have countries charging us 200%. we charge them nothing. they charge us, we charge them.

our country's got to become rich again, very rich. i always say it's my favorite word in the dictionary. the word "tariff" is my favorite word in the dictionary. you know, we were the richest relatively from -- think of this -- from 1870 to 1913. that was our richest because we collected tariffs from foreign countries that came in and took our jobs and took our money, took our everything. they charged tariffs and we had so much money, they set up the 1887 -- think of that a long time ago -- 1887 tariff commission, a commission of very important people to determine where we should spend all of the tremendous vast wealth that we had. we had so much wealth. wouldn't it be nice today? now we give it away to transgender this, transgender that. everybody gets a transgender operation. it's just wonderful. we give it away like -- to crazier things. in those days, it was different. it was a different world. it was a different country.

we were very rich because of tariffs. and i get myself in trouble because i say that tariff is my favorite word and the fake news went crazy. what about god? what about wife and family? what about love? i said, okay, tariff is now my fourth favorite word. i got myself into a lot of trouble with that. you can't believe it. i said "tariff" is my favorite word in the dictionary and i got killed by the fake news. so i say now, it doesn't sound good, it's my fourth favorite word. "tariff" is my fourth favorite word. it sounds so terrible. this way i'm free. i ride free, you know. i don't get clobbered by the fake news. tariffs are also a powerful tool of dip lomb and i all around the world are moving quickly to bring back peace through strength. we have greatest -- i rebuilt our entire military in the first term. we left a lot of it. although a lot of it, but very

small relatively. in afghanistan. the taliban has it. you know, they have their parade every year where they take our military vehicles and run them up some little street and like it's their form of a military parade and it makes me angry when i see that. angry. when i see that, i get angry! you know, we give them -- i don't think knows this -- we give afghanistan about 2 or 2 ½ billion dollars a year. do you know that? for aid. aid. we need aid ourselves. and i'm going to go back and i told them yesterday, i want to look at it, but if we're going to give them money, it's okay. but i want them to give us back our military equipment. they're selling it. doug, wow take that, please -- would you take that, please?

write something up. if we're going to give them that kind of money, let them give back the military equipment which they have. they have tanks and trucks and guns and goggles. they have goggles, night goggles, brand new, better than we have, brand new right out of the box. i want to do that. and we're going to pay them, i want to get that equipment back, okay. doug can do it. he's one of the guys. he's a business guy. to him he's sitting there saying, how the hell did this ever happen, right? can you believe it? we gave them billions of dollars and we gave them our military equipment. just tremendous numbers of billions of dollars' worth of -- billions and billions. we have a ceasefire in gaza and we're joined today by several survivors of the captivity under hamas, including noah argamani and dalana grethovski.

a beautiful group of people. (applause) thank you very much. and you're sitting next to a great guy, sebastian gerka, who's also now in the administration. from day one, right, sebastian? he's been a loyalist from day one. we love sebastian. thank you very much, sebastian. thank you, everybody. that's very nice. beautiful. we're going make it work somehow, you know. we're doing the best we can. we started -- it should have never happened. that's the sad part. it would have never happened. if i were president, and i should have been, if i were president, it would have never happened but it did so. we're doing the best we can with it. thank you very much. thank you. (applause) also with us are family members of some individuals who are still hostages and we will not

rest until all of the hostages have been returned back home. some of them are coming home in very bad condition and some of them are coming home only as bodies. they're dead. we have a lot of them coming home now, they're dead, and these are largely young people. young people don't die. young people are young people. they don't die like this. but they're dead. and the parents come to me and they say, please, sir, could you get my son back. how old is he, sir? my son is dead. it's important -- just as important as if that son were alive to get the body back. it's amazing, are actually. (applause) amazing. just as important. thank you. it's amazing, though, the parents.

the parents are strong. i mean, look, strong, what does "strong" mean? strong is their life is ruined, really. it's ruined. i see the people. but they come up to me and it's so important to get the body back. some are not sure -- they're 80% sure he's dead or she's dead and they have that little glimmer of hope and i say, let them have that hope. getting the body back is just as important as getting the son back healthy or the daughter back healthy. it's amazing to see what i see the level of intensity and love and sarr sorrow and tragedy. as i said in my inaugural address, i hope my greatest legacy will be as a peace maker, not a conquerer. i don't want to be a conquerer. (applause) under the trump administration, every day brings more good news for america. i've ended all of the so-called diversity, equity and inclusion programs across the entire

federal government. (cheering) and the private sector. and notified every single government dei officer that their job has been deleted. they're gone. they're fired. you're fired! get out. you're fired. i made it the official policy of the united states government that there are only two genders: male and female. (applause) that was easy. i banned men from competing in women's sports. (cheering) and i also proudly banned the use of -- thank you. we banned the use of puberty blockers, hormone injections and other chemical and surgical mutilation of your youth. could you imagine making a speech like this ten years ago?

people who say, what the hell is he talking about, right? this is a sickness that came along with critical race theory and all of the other things that we had to put up with and it's all out now, critical race theory and transgender insanity, all gone from our schools and from our military. and i believe it's gone too. i think we've turned the heads of even the people that -- if you can believe they're believers -- i don't know if they were -- i believe that it's all gone. and i've directed the reinstatement of any service member who was expelled from the armed forces due to the covid vaccine mandate. they will be returned to their former rank with full backpay. (cheering) full backpay.

i banned government censorship from your voices and brought back free speech in america. we didn't have free speech. we do have it now, actually. this was a very vicious regime, you know. i was put under investigation more so than the late great alphonse capone, one of the great killers of the world. my father would look down, my mother, how the hell did this happen to my boy? i was under investigation at a far greater level than al cap poen cal capone. these people are sick. i ended joe biden's weaponization as soon as i got in. i said i'm going to hit him with the same stuff. but i ended his whole weaponization of our government and removed his hand-picked radical left marxist prosecutors from the department of justice. i was so happy to do that. i pardoned hundreds and hundreds

of biden's political prisoners, including christians, employee life activists and the j6 hostages when were treated terribly for years. [ cheering] we even got rid of people pete buttigieg who did the worst job of anybody in the history of transportation. i revoke the security clearances of anthony blinken, jake sullivan, john brennan, james clapper and every nonpatriot who lied to cover up hunter biden's laptop from hell. we took away their security clearances. they're not allowed to enter any government building.

i revoked joe biden's security clearances, the biden crime family security clearance and is they'll no longer be able to access state secrets while selling themselves all around the world. oh, well. now these were bad people. these were bad people. i do that because this should never be allowed to happen again. what happened to me in this administration, what happened on j6, what happened on all of the things they did that were so bad should never, ever be allowed to happen again. and on a friendlier note, i renamed the gulf of mexico the gulf of america. [ cheering] and we are restoring the name of a great president, william mckinley, to mount mckinley in alaska!

as you know, many years ago, jimmy carter gave away the panama canal and panama 3 started the process of giving the panama canal -- the most expensive development ever in the history of our country, relatively. it would have been one and a half trillion in today's dollars. 38,000 people died from our country building the panama canal. they died from mosquitoes and snakes. think of it. they paid them five times your salary. they brought them to panama and they had a 25% chance of dying. they dug under nets so the mosquitoes wouldn't get them. but we lost 38,000 mostly men, laborers, construction workers, because it was such a harsh way to live. it was very brutal. they died. 38,000. again it was the most expensive thing we ever built.

and they gave it away for $1 to panama. last year, it made 5 billion. it's also one of the most successful projects ever built in terms of money monetarily and it's the eighth wonder of the world. it connects two oceans with one being 16 feet higher than the other. think of it. the pacific and the atlantic. think of what that is. you're going through dikes and canals and amazing what they did. it was really a wonder of the world. we gave it away for nothing. we didn't give it to china. we didn't give it to china. we gave it to panama. we're going to take back the panama canal. [ cheering ] in a matter of weeks, we have restored america's pride, confidence and america's spirit. according to a brand new poll from raspuse in the number of

americans who think we're on the right track exceeds the number of americans who think we're on the wrong track. this is the first time in if 23 years. that's hard to believe. and we had one poll where we were at 81% right track/wrong track. i guess it depends on who. that one poll, because -- first time in over twenty years that we've had a positive number on that. it's great. that's great. november 5, 2024, will go down as one of the mo most important days in the history of our country. i'm pointing to mike lindell. that man suffered. the fbi thugs went up to him and took away everything he had. he suffered. and mrs. lindell. a great guy.

they went after him. it was just terrible. this was a vicious weaponization of your government. but he's all -- i tell you, he stood up. he's all man. he stood up. he stood up strong. and nothing was going to faze him and i want to thank you on behalf of everybody, mike. you put up with a tremendous amount. [ applause ] he never changed his mind. he said that election of 2020 was rigged. and he's more of a believer today than he was even four years ago. now it's okay to say, it mike. now it's fine. that's why when it comes to a day where you can't challenge crooked elections, we've got a real problem in this country. and as of january 20th, 2025, the dark days of high taxes, crushing regulations, rampant inflation, flagrant corruption,

government weaponization and total incompetence, those days are over. they're over. [ applause ] but we cannot stop now. we're going to push forward every single day in the immortal words of that great american hero, captain john paul jones, "i have not yet begun to fight." [ cheering ] and neither have you. irish >> crowd: fight! fight! fight! together for the next four years, we're going to stand strong. we are going to work hard. we are going to fight, fight, fight and win, win, win. [ cheering ] thank you to cpac,
