that is why we have record setting economic accomplishments, one every 36 hours. of his presidency. charles: next time you come to new york go through the list with me, thank you, buckle up for a wild two hours. lou: good evening, our top story republican candidate riding trump train to victory in the midterms, president trump about to speak at a rally in columbia, south carolina. speaking there for and campaigning for governor henry mcmaster, we'll bring you all of president trump's remarks live here tonight. also the president firing back at dems who have been demanding quote due process for illegal immigrants crossing our border from mexico. >> strong borders. we want no crime. the democrats' open borders, they don't care about crime.

>> summing up the divide between dems and republicans we take up due process debate, and fate of the rino speaker paul ryan backed immigration bill, there is such a thing, we have not seeseen it no one else has in u. congress. congressman andy bigs joining us, and left wing bullies and thugs targeting trump administration officia official. plaquesinmaxine waters calling r harassment and worse, diamond and silk join us to talk about the dangerous war that has been wageds reicallar toicly -- rearg for a compromise, leadership, immigration bill, with amnesty for illegal immigrants, that would spell certain doom for

republicans in midterm election. senior house republican sources tell us they are skeptical, that anything now can pass on the issue of illegal immigration. and continued open borders. that has not stopped speaker ryan, lame duck speaker, pushing ahead this week with a vote, we're told, members working over weekend to possibly including a provision to expand everify, citizenship confirmation program necessary for employment. we don't know what is included this the bill, a vote is expected on wednesday or thursday. imagine that, before lawmaker can read it, and before they depart washington for their 4th of july recess. >> our first gift to dis-- guest to discuss leadership focus on amnesty and immigration legislation that appears to be dead on arrival. congressman andy bigs, republican of arizona, member of

house judiciary committee, freedom caucus, i can't believe this. you all are still thinking about a bill that no one has read or contributed to in anyway, moving to the floor for a vote? by the middle of the week? >> well, lou. not only can you not believe it i would like to say, i can't believe it, but i think this is come to be expected by me, i am disheartened by it, but you are right, going contrary to what president trump saying, i call a virtual fence, turning everyone away. this is a bill that will have the beginnings of general amnesty, to be honest. you have first wave is daca. second wave is second daca. and third parents, and by then it will be basically anyone who is here. it will be a general amnesty, that is right out of the democrat playbook, that does not make sense, this is not good for country or good for those

running at republicans in this midterm election. lou: how is it that paul ryan, lame duck speaker, still in was on the that he resigned, who is going to lead you all, i think that we have talked about it before with agreement, it will be a disaster for the conference across the country. >> yeah. lou: i estimate 50 seats lost in house, if they precede again the will of the base, the voter who put this president in office. and i don't hear this president saying to paul ryan, don't think about it. put it aside. >> well, i heard last week was that president saying, you are wavering time. -- you are wasting time, nothing is getting through senate, i agree. i don't understand why in the house wir we are put on spot toe for this or not, regardless whatever senate will do, we know

the senat is not going to take with up, it is not in keeping what we promised voters, we have cross over independents, and cross over democrats and rest say, i'll vote for this president, and republicans because, they said they are going to no am mosty, a tough immigration policy, that means that workers will get protected, that is a problem. lou: would you believe this president of all people would say, paul ryan, you are a lame duck. you are a absolute failure as speaker, if you are putting anything forward you put forward made, my agenda. build a wall, have full funding for it. there is no a negotiating, there is president of united states speaks to the speaker of lame duck speaker of the house, paul ryan. and don't even think about crowding me on the issue of amnesty, you know that is a absolute killer for the republican conference in november. >> yeah. you know, i think he has sent

signals, i don't want what happens when they talk privately. i can tell you we need a simple bill this needs to be funding for the wall, that is our promise, if you think nothing in senate then let senate take the blame for not funding the wall, fun the wall in house, and get to it over there quickly and keep our promise for a change that would be really solid. lou: i think you are right. but you know, i heard, some members of our conference, a few, saying, but we should just do a narrow daca bill. i mean, i heard these kinds of moronic musics from a few people in your conference who still don't get their future, rino's futures are hanging by a very weak thread. >> yeah, you know, there is a part of our conference that really is very sympathetic to an open borders and amnesty. but i don't think that is the

vast majority. i think we can get the votes to fund and build a wall. let's be honest, you have to get your border secured, otherwise it is just emotion,al i driven, build a wall provide for border security, get our boots on the groin, and get thaground, and gr rather than later. >> imre meetin imre meeting a st forward formula, you cannot reform immigration law if you cannot control your borders, we're a long way from being able to royal our borders if any republican president again accepts amnesty as a continue for a deal with the democrats, before border security, and before securing that border, building that wall, as it is more than a metaphor, it is reality we have to face.

and you have manuel lopez, leading presidential candidate in mexico. ready to go to the polls on july 7, saying he wants to send more of his poor, more of his uneducated. more of his unskilled labor to this country, call figur figurir -- calling for a wave across border, we have fools here in this country still in important positions within this government of donald trump, who don't understand they are in a war here. it a war against the left, a war against those who would run over our borders, as if they were not even lions in the sand -- lines in the sand, they want to debate. they want to confer, reality is, we're in a war. we're either are going to win or lose the destiny. >> absolutely, so, here is the deal, i think that is why president said let's just send them back, turb the turn them be of phony bologna too process.

congress is note funding the wall -- it is a varity qualwall, turit is.>> it is a virtual wal. lou: watch the reaction from the left. the dems, they are having a fit because of the separation of the families at the border. involve something 2000 people. it is a absolute micr my micro. saying we thought we had to do it, we did it i give him credit. acknowledging what the obama administration did. but these democratic activists

having none of it, they are seeking political advantage rather than dealing with reality, and the truth. and dishonoring the word truth. >> you are talking about right now, 50,000 plus people coming across our border, that we're apprehending monthly. and you know estimate 2 to 3 times that get past. more than that, the unaccompanied minors and so-called familiarial relationship people, we'll see over 30 thousand of those in 7 weeks. his our borders, and what is supposed to happen at that point? lou: we know, the president is right, he said that dems' open borders, they want them to pour across that border, they look at them as -- correctly so, as potential voters. soon to be imminent voters.

and republicans look at it as a violation of our sovereignty and our law, congressman andy bigs, we'll hear more on this tonight. president about to start speaking. in columbia, south colina. to support governor mcmaster. anniean andy we appreciate it. >> thank you. lou: there you see the room there. in west columbia, we're awaiting trump rally there. we'll take a quick break and we'll talk about a fellow who won't go away soon enough, rhino jeff flake, he is threatening to block president trump's judicial nominees and side with those country like china, european union, and cuba to name a few in the battle over trump tariffs, this fellow is so flaky he does

not understand who started this war, who is winning it. ed rollins and michael goodwin joining us next. you are looking live at airport high school, in south carolina, where prurchl wilpresident trumg in a moment, we'll bring it to you, all of it live. stay with us, we'll be back with the president, a rally. it doesn't get better than that. stay with us. you might take something for your heart... or joints. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish,

lou: rino jeff flake threatening president trump. listen to this fellow, who i am not going to mention his iq. something of a challenge i am sure just being a senator. >> i do think that unless we can actually exercise something other than just approving president's executive calendar, his nominees, judges, we have no season to be there i think myself and a number of senators, will stand up and say let's not move any more judges until we get a vote on tariffs. for example. >> for example. he just exude the importance and

relevance. joining us now the dean ed rollins. michael goodwin. both fox business contributors, great to have you here. what do you think when you think or see or hear senator jeff glaik? flake? >> he could not win a primary to keep his open seat, that is why he is not running. there competition now among john kasich. bob corker, jeff flake. to fill the mccain seat on the sunday talk shows, only two requirements you be a republican, and second is you attack republican party, that is why you dollar. lou: particularly the president, president trump. >> right. >> that is the only reason they are invited. lou: who will play role of

lindsey graham and that relationship as who emerges as new john mccain. >> that tough, lindsey graham has been more principled where he has picked his spot. where flake is just a hate trump person, he should just leave now, but this is his reward, you get on national tv. >> i agree, he would have gotten clobbered in a primary, not been reelected that would have been great am i think back on great senator arizona had, he will be on the bottom of the ladder on any given day. lou: who can you think it. >> bar barry goldwater. lou: that comes first to mind there are 9other greats. >> like it was yesterday. stop.

lou: mitt romney, who came out today. three weeks ago, making nice with the president. today comes out on eve of the primary in utah tomorrow, and announces he will make very clear he will speak out against president trump. what in the world is going? is utah going to elect that mess? >> i hope not, this man, after ronald reagan and george w. bush had successful careers. he said, i am not going back to a reagan-bush type of a -- i am going to be a different republican. then he switched on every major position he had been on, he was a governor one-term who abandoned state for 3 authoritys last term. lou: this guy, kennedy, what do you think? >> a conservative,. lou: running against mitt

romney. >> and my issue and i hope that donald trump does not do anything to help romney, romney will never do anything to help him. >> it is a little late. >> he should not be raising money for him. lou: this president is the nicest fella, he is. >> short memory. lou: a terrific memory. >> he picks these insults and he forgives more than most politicians. lou: others he does not, i don't always quite understand his i would assume he flick romney off the table. he is just an objectable human. >> he said he will be a different republican, he has been, he has never won but for that race in massachusetts. lou: funny thing, romney running at utah republican. his only credit is he won a

massachusetts race as a republican. >> also voted democratic primary, and was an independent at one point in time. he reminds me of former mayor bloomberg put himself in democratic column, with 80 million given to kennedy. >> what are we going to see? against a validation of president's choices in these primaries, is this are we going to see a strengthening of his view or weakening? >> i think approval number for president among republicans is sky-high, 90% according to a poll. which you really can't -- >> high marks for his handling of the economy. his approval rating is at or near all-time highs. >> it will vary state by state. lou: and above president obama at-this-point. >> right it will vary state by state, and candid by candidate, you saidly did in south carolina. -- you see what he did in south

carolina, i say his endorsement should be a lot to republicans. >> majority of voters in america today, say they are for the wall. the poll. lou: the dems left wings on other side. >> some republicans. i think he has driven his message home and will continue, that wall is important. lou: looking at message driven home from the left, president said it, open borders, crime bring it on, that is what democrats. republican stan for law and order with border security. and getting rid of crime. it is strange that moment that dems are embracing thuggery, rule of the mob. this thing with red chicken restaurant down in virginia. that i low life stuff right there.

>> for party and country that went through exclusion of people in south of many years ago. the idea you will take sarah huckabee and her family, throw them out of a restaurant in lexington is outrageous. idea of most outraged person the greatest racist of maxine waters in california, spewing hatred. lou: she is trying to back off her remarks where she was encouraging harassment and more of thissi ignore ignorant appro. other part is it is good to know who doesn't want you in their establishment. and if restaurants think they are going to make political choices without economic consequence, the damn fools. >> you know, back tot back to t% approval --90 percent approval,

no democrat can match that. goings to mid term if they fight trump with pure hatred, and open of borders diane feinstein bill, raise taxes, i think right now the republican party looks pretty good for the fall. lou: they look good if you throw out paul ryan. >> well. lou: throw out 25 rinos are ready to sign discharge petition for amnesty and open border, it looks to be a great opportunity for president, i want your view, i received word that president's plane has not yet landed. in columbia, south carolina. because of weather delays, still circling awaiting the passing of the storm before he and his plane in the group land in clm

colombia, we waiting with those folks, who are gathering. as soon as we get word of his landing we'll bring it to you. >> we turn to issue to me that is fairly straight forward. that is run as republicans. president has been saying it now opportunity is presented itself. run as republicans, run on border security. run on building the wall. run on low crime. run on law and order. run on getting this country out of the misthat is the immigration -- mess that is the immigration system. it not an accident of any kind that we have a mess, that mess of created by good offices of chamber of commerce, b business round table. "wall street journal" and two administration, bush administration and obama administration thought if they

could ensnare all lawyers in immigration process. and build up what is almost 700,000 cases that are in backlogs in immigration courts they would win defacto, so far it has worked for them. >> i would argue another point. our base is eye rural suburban base, sanctuary city is an urban democrat idea, we should run against every single one of them, if that i want to put all these lawless people in there. lou: that fine. i think you are right. >> a big issue. lou: the trump party, republican party, is so much bigger than anything that is rural. it is a coast-to-coast. when we look at what happened in midwest. and 2016 election. potential for this president to carry his party in the midterm elections, to even more larger majority, is impressive.

what is daunting to think about what speaker paul ryan represents as a threat to that conference. >> ed thank you. >> thank you. lou: we appreciate it. >> michael thank you. >> up next, president. a masve rally about to get underway in south carolina. we'll be right back. .. ♪

and i'm still going for my best even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin, i'm up for that. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. so what's next? seeing these guys. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis, the number one cardiologist-prescribed blood thinner.

ask your doctor if eliquis is what's next for you. cardiologist-prescribed blood thinner. proven to protect street skaters and freestylers. stops up to 97% uv. lasts through heat. through sweat. coppertone. proven to protect. this is frank. sup! this is frank's favorite record. this is frank's dog. and this is frank's record shop. frank knowns northern soul, but how to set up a limited liability company... what's that mean? not so much. so he turned to his friends at legalzoom. yup! they hooked me up. we helped with his llc, contracts, and some other stuff that's part of running a business. so frank can focus on the beat. you hear that? this is frank's record shop.

and this is where life meets legal. lou: president trump has solidified himself as the law and order president, cracking down further on illegal immigration. in a series of weekend tweets the president said we cannot allow all these people to invade our country. when somebody comes in we must immediately with no judges or court cases bring them back from where they came. our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and law and order. most of children come without parents. our immigration policy is laughed at all over the world.

it's unfair to people who have come through the system legally and waited in line for years. the sentiment echoed by former dhs head jeh johnson. apparently the only honest guy who was part of the obama administration. listen to what the former dhs secretary said on "fox news sunday." >> we expanded family detention. we had 34,000 beds for family detention. only 95 equipped to deal with families. we expanded it. i freely admit it was controversial. we believed was necessary at the time. i still believe it is necessary to maintain a certain capability for families. we can't have catch and release. lou: i love that. not have catch and release. joining us fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett.

we are getting closer to the publication date of his new book. gregg: mid-july. just around the corner. it's america. we commend the book to you mightily. let's start with the president's statement. what he's saying makes all the sense in the world. it just doesn't happen to fit the law as its currently written. gregg: the only viable solution is a border which is impenetrable which is what donald trump wants to do. because it makes sense, congress won't do it because it's their nature. anything that's logical and solves a problem is aand an ana

to congress. lou: the on thing i love about paul ryan is he resigned. i lament that he remains in that seat to be a great danger to republicans in the mid-term election. let's get to what the president is saying. we have a backlog approaching 700,000 cases in our immigration courts. that's all contrived. it would take a century at the current rate to go through those cases. how do we get to the point where donald trump is talking about, you cross the line illegally and you go back where you came from. gregg: i would expedite expedited he move. pending an administrative

proceeding and sent back, forget the administrative proceeding, just send them back across. you will have a lot of howling by civil rights attorneys, but so what. they don't have standing unless they get in front of somebody who is being detained. if you don't detain them, then they don't have that opportunity. lou: we are a nation of laws. here is our problem. that law says we have to go through this for a non-citizen who violated the first law that's possible, that is, crossing the border illegally. gregg: if you do it repeatedly it's elevated to a felony. we can't clog all of our prisons and jails with felonious people. the solution is to immediately send them back. and to his grade credit, president trump has expanded.

under obama and birth was only within 200 miles. trump said nonsense with that, we are going to get you anywhere. lou: the president ignores the law that requires the due process and says you are going home. gregg: it's interesting because the law only applies to asylum seekers. the vast majority of people who come here and sneak in are not seeking asylum. and they can be sent back across the border immediately. only 1% actually -- only 15% actually get a judiciou -- actua judicial hearing. lou: why could you not make a decision and say the only way

you can get asylum is to go through a port of entry. you crossinged the border illegally, therefore, this person was not truly seeking asylum or they would have gone through a port of entry, and therefore you are subject to immediate expedited deportation. gregg: non-asylum seekers are subject to policy, not law. the president is dealing in a very strong way. but asylum seekers by congressional act, the law, are entitled to a hearing. that's the problem. lou: we have two problems. you have got congress and the other fools involved. gregg: the civil rights lawyers. lou: i thought you said they didn't have standing. gregg: they managed to get

standing. once i.c.e. detains, the civil rights lawyers get access. just don't detain, just escort them to the border. lou: if they are not at a port of entry, they are not seeking asylum. on its face it doesn't make sense. gregg: that would require an act of congress. if an individual is seeking asylum and they are already here. they slip through the border and say i want asylum, they are entitled under law to a judicial proceeding. i didn't make the law. lou: there you go bragging. the president's frustration is paramount, manifest. and by the way, everyone if they do not understand, it's type to get rinos out of the republican

party so that common sense can prevail and the national interest be served. just that straightforward. greg: it underscores the immigration is a mess and it need to be fixed. all right. good to see you. up next, president trump says we should deport illegal immigrants without a court hearing. we'll take up his battle to make america safe. mark simone joins us. we are awaiting the start of the president's rally in south carolina. weather holding up the president and air force one. we'll be bringing you live the president's arrival just as soon as he gets to west columbia, south carolina. can't wait. stay with us. we'll be right back. let your inner light loose

jardiance asked: when it comes to managing your type 2 diabetes, what matters to you? you got a1c, heart, diet, and exercise. slide 'em up or slide 'em down. so let's see. for most of you, it's lower a1c. but only a few of you are thinking about your heart. fact is, even though it helps to manage a1c, type 2 diabetes still increases your risk of a fatal heart attack or stroke. jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill with a lifesaving cardiovascular benefit for adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease,

significantly reducing the risk of dying from a cardiovascular event and lowering a1c, along with diet and exercise. this really changes things. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. this may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis or an allergic reaction. symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. other side effects are sudden kidney problems, genital yeast infections, increased bad cholesterol, and urinary tract infections, which may be serious. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. man: ask your doctor about jardiance and get to the heart of what matters. and that's how he intended to keep it.

then he met the love of his life. who came with a three foot, two inch bonus. for this new stepdad, it's promising to care for his daughter as if she's his own. every way we look out for those we love is an act of mutuality. we can help with the financial ones. learn more or find an advisor at massmutual.com lou: we just received word, and ther you see what we received word about. the president's plane, air force one, has landed in slum yeah, south carolina. he has -- in columbia, south carolina. he has been held up by a rainstorm. you see a nasty-looking sky and an amazing tarmac as well. that we threw in as a bonus for

those of you watching. joining us now, social media stars, president trump's most of loyal supporters diamond and silk joining us tonight. great to have you back on the show with us. we are going to be going to the president just as soon as he arrives at airport high school in west columbia, south carolina. thanks so much for being here. i want to start out talking with gregg jarrett earlier about the president's frustration. i'm sitting here getting a little more than angst listening to the d more than anxious listening to what's going on on the border. demand? what do you think? >> i find it appalling how obama

had the children wrapped in foil in their cages and no one said anything about it. president trump is following the same law obama followed, and now iive wants to have a hissy fit. everybody is concerned about the children. we just visited the inner cities of detroit. what about those children in we saw something so devastating. we need to pay attention what's going on in america with the american people. lou: 20% of the kid in this country live below the important i line. and when you say everybody is concerned, we know they are not concerned. these are democratic left-wing activists, many of them paid for by the chamber of commerce, the business round table, wall street, the koch brothers, to have their hissy feet.

it's not about the kids or the truth. or they would have included the truth that the situation was so much worse under president trump. and the national left-wing media, there was a time they were supposed to be truth seekers. they were supposed to be the ones holding us to an independent objective standard of reality. they are now complicit with the left and with the establishment elites. >> we call them the very fake news. they want to take this and sensationalize the story and say this to the american people and we are supposed to believe them. we don't believe them. we don't believe the liberal ideology. you the children that they really don't care about. it's so sad and it's sick. lou: think about what we witnessed in this country the

last few weeks. whether it's steven miller, some of the president's closest advisors, consider 10 nielsen, the department of homeland security secretary, whether it's sarah sanders. attorney general pam bondi down in florida, being confronted by activists who are there to just make them miserable and to be as aggravated as they can get them, seeking the opportunity to make them angry to the point that they react. fortunately none of them did. but it is a horrible thing we are watching in this country. the left has become a bunch of thugs. this is mob nonsense. >> yeah. lou, it's different between being confronted and being harassed. when i'm sitting there minding

my own business with my family eating on my own private time. youon't get to harass me while i'm there with my family. there is a time and a place for all things and that was not the time and that was not the place. lou: both of you are exactly right. harass is the better word. the shame is, that this would happen in a public place at all. these are people serving the president of the united states, serving the people of florida in the case of pam bondi. who in the world do these folks think they are to do this? it's gotten ugly, and something is going to happen. human nature being what it is, something is going to happen, thin the left will be so thrilled with itself. this is an ugly thing we haven't seen in our lifetime. >> but remember now. it wasn't just that long ago where black people were unable to sit at the lunch counter all

from left-leaning liberals in the democratic party. now look at what you see today. left-leaning liberals won't allow someone to eat their food at a table. all this is the same script with different cast. they don't have hoods on no more and they are showing their true colors. the democratic party, this is what maxine waters said, go ahead and harass them like this is okay. this is what they want to do. they want to manipulate and intimidate to dominate. that's what they want to do. lou: as we were talking the president walked down the steps of air force one, getting ready to move on to the site of tonight's rally in west columbia, south carol.

you can see they are having some interesting weather. weather that was severe enough to hold up the president's aircraft, air force one just landing moments ago and had been expected to be there in time for the president to begin speaking at the top of this hour. obviously working right now to catch up as the president waves to the welcoming crowd there in columbia. just about ready to head to the venue for his speech. we are going to -- i want to just quickly if we can, ask you what you think the solution is. what is the way to get ford on this and to in -- to get forward on this and introduce the notion to the left that they will have to be respectful of the president and elected officials. this is reaching a level now that is nasty, nasty stuff. >> it's very nasty.

we have to learn how to agree to disagree in this country and talk to each other instead of disrespecting each other. what the left is doing is disrespectful and dangerous. it's dangerous for a congress wham and to -- for a congresswoman to tell americans to harass an official. let's talk about it so we can solve these problems. but the left is the party obstruction. they don't want to solve anything. they want to keep bickering. >> it is what it is. president trump is the president of the united states and we have to respect that. it's part of democracy. to respect that and stop acting like fools. lou: i couldn't agree more with both of you. there is the view that the left

is engaged in a war while the right in this country thinks it's engaged in a debate. so long as the left is behaving like this, it's going to be difficult to have a national conversation with all americans. as you suggest, that's unfortunate, and the left does need to understand how to correct their behavior. it's not a national problem. it's a problem of the left, and their activists. it's squarely on them. diamond and silk, it's always great to see you. we thank you for being with us and look forward to you rejoining us soon. great to see you. joining us tonight, wor radio personality, mark simone. great to have you here. the president held up a bit. you have been tweeting, my my my you have been tweeting. and some great tweets. the president has also been

busy, and he's talking about this very frustrating thing about joining in what is a 700,000 case backlog in the immigration courts. we are behaving like fools, and i will be very candid. i don't know what the solution is. there has to be at least administrative due process. and whatever the congress has done, congress has got to change. it's that simple. >> it won't be easy. i remember 14 years ago i was watching "lou dobbs tonight." you used to do a segmenter night called broken borders. and it struck me how serious this problem is. the only country in the world without a border. you have been talking about this and you kept it alive. i thought the republicans would step in, the democrats would step in. this congress is so bought off on both sides, the chamber of commerce, the business round

table. lou: we have more tonight. >> i don't know how we'll get the border closed, democrats like the cheap votes and republicans like the cheap labor. lou: we have to build the wall and secure the border. if we cannot control our border, there is no way we can control immigration. it's that straightforward. for anyone to pretend otherwise means they have been bought off. because there is no other explanation into the border secured folks on both sides are absolutely corrupt. >> we love immigrants. their the backbone of the country. we love legal immigrants. liberals want the border open.

anybody can walk across. but they will choose who can come into a restaurant. >> when it comes to the department of justice turning over those documents, i don't know why donald trump isn't over there demanding they be turned over. and he'sed a builder. he should start the wall. lou: he keeps talking about the border wall having been started with the $1.6 billion. that's not entirely the case. the fact of the matter is paul ryan made a point of not giving him money for the wall. the $1.6 billion is for rehabilitation and additional technology and securing the border, but not for the specific purpose of building that wall.

and also, paul ryan made another great gesture, he reduced the size of immigration and customs enforcement. fewer agents, instead funding under this most of recent omnibus bill. it's appalling what this one man has done to the president. >> romney and paul ryan, nobody would win. lou: people of utah have their chance to show their discretion in their primary tomorrow. >> even if you build 10 feet of it, build it just so we can see that 10 feet standing there. lou: one of the things i run into almost everywhere i go people ask me where is the wall? why isn't the president building the wall? the answer i give is the

congress would not fund it. but there has got to be more done here. and it means the president -- he said this. we have got to the elect republicans to congress. not rinos. republicans. men and women who care about the country. we are looking at an amazing economy created by this president. and the fools in congress are going to mess it up pretty big if we permit them to do so. doing business with them is not the answer. getting them the heck out of congress is the answer. >> it will take a while to get them out. lou: we are 10% of the way there already. and you have some people retiring like paul ryan. a lot of net positives here. >> these congressmen left and right, both sides are bought and paid for. we have to figure out something where money doesn't control

everything where special interests don't buy whatever they need. we have people pay-for-play politicians that will get re-elected. quietly both sides make sure they are still there. lou: they are going to be there for a while. i think we have the opportunity under this president who is without question the historic president certainly of this century, and i believe you have to go back paul the way to fdr to find somebody with the energy -- ronald reagan accomplishments were great, throwing aside the soviet union, destroying marxist leninism. this president has the ability to match those accomplishments in foreign policy. he has a long ways to go. by has that opportunity. he's already done so much. as ronald reagan to restore

confidence in the economy. this president is historic and has i fence opportunities for achievement. >> we love ronald reagan. for those who say why does the president have to tweet that way. i don't think reagan would have gone the anywhere if he didn't have the bull in the china shop attitude trump has. lou: you say a china shop. i say he's a bull in the arena. and i think he means business. and it must drive the left in this country nuts everybody time they try to take a whack at him, he gives it back even better. as we have seen, a lot of them are nuts. the president has already made it to the arena. i guess that's why they call it

the airport high school. we learned that lesson. there he is. long awaited. and i'm sure much appreciated by all the folks there. flying through the storm. and getting ready to give his address to the rally of these folks in west columbia, south carolina. [♪] [cheers and applause] president trump: hello, everyone. hi. hi, everybody. hello, everybody. was a little rocky up in the

sky tonight. i have to tell you. they said, sir, would you mind going back? would you mind if we didn't stop? i said there is no way we cannot stop. right? we are not going to do that for a man named henry mcmaster. we are not going to do it. i wouldn't have the courage to call henry. henry, i said i was coming, but i'm only kidding. it's raining out real bad and i am not showing up. i wouldn't do it to you. thank you very much, everybody. and also it is air force one. doesn't this go through? and it does. it is great to be with you. it's a very special state.

i love this state with so many incredible hard working american patriots. before we begin, let's all take a moment to send our love to katie arrington who was badly hurt in a terrible car accident, and somebody going the wrong way and katie really badly hurt along with a friend of hers. and somebody else killed, frankly in the other car. and katie is a very special person. she was out there right from the beginning. here is the good news. she is going to be 100%. so katie, we are all pulling for you, and we are praying for your swift recovery. she is going to be back very soon. and she was with us. she was out there campaigning against the guy i have never

liked too much. never liked him too much. i wasn't a big fan. the tallahassee trail. it must be a beautiful place. unfortunately, he didn't go there. so i want to thank all of our south carolina gop leaders in attendance. we have a man who has become a friend of mine. it's shocking, isn't it? he said i will defeat him in south carolina. i said i don't think so. i don't think so. but i'll tell you what, he has become a friend, and he's a good man. lindsey graham.

that's pretty good, i think, lindsey. that's pretty good. he's been great. congressman joe wilson and tom rice. [cheers and applause] south carolina attorney general, a very close personal relationship, joe allen wilson. good job,a, allen. secretary of state mark hammond. thank you, mark. and candidate for lieutenant governor pamela evans.

pamela. finally the person we are all here for today, a man who truly was with me from the beginning, there was no doubt about it, he was there right from the beginning. we won the state of south carolina by a lot. [cheers and applause] both in the primaries and in the general elect. we won. and we had to run the whole east coast and we got south carolina and north carolina. we love north carolina. we got pennsylvania and florida. we started off that night, donald trump has won the state of florida. right? and they go, whoa! , whoa! they just last florida. you know what they said? don't worry about it. they said north carolina is the

fire wall. south carolina we have no chance. but north carolina. so we won south carolina, thank you very much. and the fire wall wasn't much of a fire wall in north carolina. so i want to thank the incredible people of south carolina for everything you have done. and right from day one when i came down here, henry mcmaster, i said why are you with me? he said i like what you say. we need strong borders. we are talking about it now. [cheers and applause] [crowd chants "build that wall"]

so he said, we need strong borders. we have to stop crime. we want lower taxes. we love our military, we love our vets, and we love our second amendment. other than that, i don't know what he said. i don't know what else he told me. but that was enough. and he was sort of just like this handsome guy with a wonderful wife. peggy. where's peggy? so henry was for me from the beginning. there was nobody else. it wasn't like i supported trump. i supported trump very early. right, after 7 other people. after the defeat of 9 people. they were with me. and they never let you forget it. but henley was there at the

beginning. he's a fighter, he's tough, he's strong. and he's a gentleman. the thing with henry, because i got to know him. i'll tell you what. he was up early in the morning, he left late at night. i said you are a fighter. beautiful thing with henry is you don't even know it. he does it in an elegant manner. but he's a fighter. he's been here with us and henry i would like to ask you to come on up. this has been an interesting voyage. i have never taken a longer trip ever to south carolina. >> thank you, mr. president. south carolina loves donald trump. we were out at the airport waiting and watching the forces of nature.

lightning and there was the thunder and the storm and the rain. and then it cleared and air force one landed and the real force of nature got off the plane and stepped into south carolina. [cheers and applause] donald trump kepter promise that he made. we love him. we follow him. he's going to make america great again, and we'll help him do it right here in south carolina. thank you so much! president trump: thank you, henry. now, you know we have a lot of fake news back there. and you know that if a horrible thing happens, and we weren't lucky enough to have henry win, you know they won't talk about.

they will say donald trump suffered a major, major defeat in the great state of south carolina. it was a humiliating defeat for donald trump. so please get your asses out tomorrow and vote! [cheers and applause] you have got to get out there and vote. and honestly not for that reason. he's a great man. he's a wonderful person. he loves the people of south carolina and loves the people of our country. you have got a good man or believe me i wouldn't be here. you know, the last time i endorsed somebody was katie. and i was in singapore. there was a massive difference in time. i said we have a situation

that's very interesting. i'm turning on the television and i see the race. i said what time is it? they said sir, it's almost 4:00. so, i have got to endorse katie. how many hours are left? they said like 3 1/2. i said maybe i shouldn't do it because i won't have enough. what happened, i did. i said i don't care. i can't stand that guy. i don't care. i don't care. and i like her. she was another one right from the beginning. she didn't talk about other people. so i said okay. we had 3 hours, 3 1/2 hours left. i'm lifting off from singapore. far away. a 22-hour flight. that's not even fun on air force one. when are we landing, we are almost there, 7 hours. when they tell you you are almost there, you only have 7 hours left.

and we had a great success. north korea. chairman kim. great. great. [cheers and applause] we are not looking up in the air. any rockets up there? japan is very happy. they haven't had a rocket shot or them in 7 months. there has been no rocket test. there has been no nuclear test. there has been no ballistic this this -- sites. look at all those fake newsers back there. that's a lot. that's a lot of people. that's a lot of people. and you want to see a lot of people, go outside this gymnasium. i said henry, i don't work gymnasiums anymore he said please. go outside and take a look outside. you won't believe what's going

on out there. see you people understand real estate well. but we have a call. i had numerous calls with prime minister abe. so happy for the people of japan. happy for the people of china. happy for the people especially of south korea. and we are happy. and we did something that was wonderful. and the world is soon going to be -- right now it is already, when have good chemistry -- but the world is going to be a much safer place, and north korea will be a much better place. really something. [cheers and applause] and they agreed to denuclearization. they agreed to no more testing, no more this. we got our hostages back. got our hostages. i got them back even before we left. we are getting the remains of

our great heroes back. [cheers and applause] and when i first made the announcement that we are getting gether, this was five, six months ago. it was in the oval soofs. these guys were saying unbelievable, unbelievable, do you believe this? remember they came over from south korea. the olympics. it started with the olympics. when chairman kim said we want to go to the olympics. i said that's nice. it's a big difference from the dialogue we were having. en the olympics would have been a massive failure and it turned out to be a massive success. and president moon of south korea gives us the credit. people did not want to be nuked in the stadium as they watched the opening ceremony. they didn't want to be watching the opening ceremonies at the

same time look up at the skies, how long will this last. they weren't selling tickets. the minute it happened. the minute that happened the olympics became a fantastic success. it was a great olympics. and we now have a good chemistry. and i think it's going to work out. it takes a while. not easy. not easy. they have been doing this for many many decades. not that easy. but they took down signs, anti-united states signs all over north korea. they are down. they came down. anti-u.s. signs. like i put up anti-media signs all over the place.

[crowd booing] >> you are worse than i am. no, we want honesty. we just want fairness. we don't get much of it. so we make the deal. and we signed a piece of paper. it was a beautiful piece of paper. it said we'll denuke, we'll get the remains back. a lot of things. we'll not test. we'll abandon our -- they have an engine site -- these are not engines for your car, these are engines for ballistic missiles. they are going to rip that down. we'll denuclearize north korea. you know what the fake news said? donald trump has suffered a humiliating defeat because i agreed to meet. because i agreed to meet, they couldn't think anything else, so

i will say this, at the beginning they couldn't believe it was happening. two days later they were saying hillary clinton could have done that. i don't think so. [crowd chants "lock her up"] did you ever see anybody so protected in your life? point after point after point. and i did nothing. it never end. never end. no collusion, no nothing. but you go -- after the election, i said let's go, who cares. we have to make america great

again. and the she writes a book and does the tour. how many reasons did she give for losing the election? he week it was a different reason. right? she blamed everybody for losing the elect except for one person. herself. and you know the funny thing is, lindsey was just telling me, they would have lost. but i won. to win all up and count east coast. to win wisconsin which hasn't been won in many years, like 1972. to win membership began which hasn't been won in a long type. and they say she was a bad candidate. she was a tough candidate. she wasn't a bad candidate. but they refused to say i was a

good candidate. it's interesting. sometimes you have to toot your own horn because nobody is is going to do it. certainly they are not going to do it. certainly they are not going to do it. sometimes you have to do it, right? that's why when the polls are good, you remember during the campaign, when the polls were good i would always talk about it. when they weren't, i didn't talk about it. but for a lot of time they were good. georgetown steel just opened their plant yesterday. they are spending a lot of money after many years of being closed. georgetown steel in south carolina. here is a story that just came out. david lynch, the great filmmaker, he puts down headline, trump could go down -- this is a hollywood guy. the reason i do this, you don't

hear this. plenty of them voted for me. david lynch could go down as one of the greatest presidents in history. there goes his career in hollywood. veteran filmmaker david lynch believes president trump could be remembered as one of the great hest presidents in american history because the way he has shaken up the political establishment and what he has done. but however he now appears to believe, he actually voted for obama. and here it says he voted for bernie sanders. but he now says however, he now appears to believe that trump may have been the right choice after all. cheers he goes on to say trump could go down as one of the

greatest presidents in history because he has disrupted this thing so much, no one has been able to counter this guy in an intelligent way. by the way, you know, they call them elites. you know what you are? you are the super elites. i'm changing titles. i'm changing. no, no. look, everybody here makes money, works hard, pays taxes. does a great job. you are smarter, you are better, you are more loyal. we have the greatest base in the history of politics. we do. they interviewed 10 women on one of the opposing networks, the enemy. the enemy of the people, i call them. he said to these women, these were 10 really great women.

these are non-political women who had trump here, trump there, wearing trump hats, badges. the announcer said what can he do? you heard me say this. this happens a lot. what can he do when you are going to drop donald trump. one of these women stood out perhaps the leader, perhaps not. she came ford and she said there is absolutely nothing he could do. can you believe that? there is nothing he can do. and she said he has done a great job. we are work on it. there is david lynch. enjoy the, because his career in hollywood is officially over. did you see jimmy fallon? [crowd booing] >> the guy screws up my hair. he was so disappointed to find out it was real.

that's one of the great things i got. everybody used to say my hair is phoney. i'm wearing a hair piece. anybody here wearing a hair piece? but the one thing they never say that anymore because i have been caught in rainstorms and winds 60 miles an hour getting off. if it's not your hair, don't run for office, folks. don't run. do not run for office. because the gig would be up. so jimmy fallon apologizing. he apologized for humanizing me. the poor guy. now he's going to lose all of us. now he'll lose all of us. if somebody would open a talk show at night -- the guy on cbs is -- what a low life. what a low life. honestly, are these people funny? and i can laugh at myself.

frankly if i couldn't, i would be in big trouble. but there is no talent. they are not like talented people. johnny carson was talented. seriously. this guy on cbs has no talent. jimmy kimmel would meet me before the election, i'm telling you a true story, no talent. but i would go to his studio to do a shot. he would stand outside on the sidewalk waiting for here. here he comes donald trump. he opens my door. i said does he do this to everybody? his people said he does it for nobody. he's waiting for me two or three times before this. i do his show. and he is standing out on hollywood whatever boulevard. and he's standing there opening up the door, like hello, hello.

i wasn't president. i was like a guy. right? a guy with potential. he's here. here he is. sorry. thank you so much for doing this. but jimmy fallon calls me up, and he's like a nice guy. he's lost. he looks like a lost soul. he gets out there hey, hey, hi. but he's a nice guy. i agree to do his show. because i guess i was running at that time, he got tremendous ratings on that show. he should be thankful. he shouldn't be upset and angry. when you apologize because you got somebody else who didn't go on the other shows.

i know on the show, i agree, do whatever you want with my hair and that was it. a year and a half two years later he's apologizing because he humanized me. and he really hurt himself. i said jimmy, i called me up after the show and said thank you for the incredible monster ratings. i said thank you, jimmy, that's very nice. i said don't hurt yourself by apologizing. i said on social media, jimmy, be a man. just relax. incredible. if somebody had said to these guys, cbs, nbc, i made a fortune for nbc to the apprentice. they treat me horribly. i think nbc is worse than cnn. and they wanted to renew my contract. they wanted to renew my contract. and they were doing everything.

they had the top man in comcast came up to see me in my office with a whole group of people. please please renew you contract with the apprentice. that's when i knew i was going to run. it's a prime time show doing well. 14 seasons did great. arnold schwarzenegger took my place and it tbhomed two shows. it was over. it bombed in one show. it was so bad they didn't believe it so they let it go a little bit longer. and the one who knew was my wife. she said, you know, she's very smart, she said you know there's nobody that can take your place. don't you? i said thank you, darling. how smart is that?

i don't know if she believes it. but she said there is nobody who can take your place. he'll not be successful. there is nobody, darling, that can take your place. how smart is she, how smart. and she has got a great style. we greeted today the king of jordan, the queen of jordan, and it was like a picture. i watched the three of them. the queen, the king and the first lady. i stood back and i watched. i didn't want to destroy that picture. she has done a tremendous job as first lady. [cheers and applause] she had an operation a few weeks ago. kidney operation and she is fine. but they had all kinds of

projections. they said she got a facelift. no, i would let you know. they couldn't hide that one for long. they said she left me and moved to virginia. they said she left me and moved to new york. so she moved to virginia, she moved to new york. the on thing they wouldn't say is what happened. she is private. she doesn't want to talk about things. but really unfair stuff. you know what? we have never done better than we are doing now. we have never had a time like we have now. we never have. we never had higher polls than we have now. even gallup, gallup who treats me horribly. what polls do is called suppression. they put out these horrible polls and they hope everyone will say i like trump but he has no chance to win.

it should be illegal. you should check the spolsters. we had one with abc. the week before we are down 12. if you are down 12 it's over. if the polls are real. i said they can't be real. we just went to michigan and we had 30,000 people. excuse me, we went to south carolina, but i didn't come here that often because we were leading by a lot. so i said, if you don't mind, do you mind if i don't come back, i am going to come to places where we have it closer. nobody said don't worry about it. they said you stay out of here, mr. president. almost to be mr. president. but it really has been an incredible journey for all of us. we are the super elite. we are the super elite. we are. and we are going to call

ourselves that. i said the other day, as you saw my last speech in minnesota, a great place. unbelievable crowd. it seated 9,000, and they had 15,000 or 20,000 people. it was incredible. just like you have a lot of people outside, you just can't. if i come into an arena and it has empty seats, i think that's the end. i don't know how i will be able to take it. henry, what will i do if that happens. it's not going to happen. remember what i said. we are going to start winning again. we are winning now like we haven't won before. we are winning with our military, our military is now being built up like you wouldn't believe. we are winning with our military. we are winning on trade. we are winning on trade. we are defending our borders. because if you don't have borders, you don't have a

country. you don't have a country. [crowd chants "build that wall"] it's happening. it's not build that wall anymore it's continue building that wall. because we are building it. we are fixing it miles and miles. we have $1.billion, we are fixing the wall and building the wall in san diego. nobody wants the wall until it's in their backyard. they didn't like people walking across their front lawns in san diego. we are building the wall, we are fixing the wall, and we'll get it done. democrats want open borders and they don't mind crime. think about it.

last week they thought they have a great issue. and, you know, i get credit -- they are saying i have good political instincts. some people said i have the best political instincts in 50 years. i don't think so. but i have my own feeling. when i heard them talking about the children. they were using pictures taken in 2014 when barack obama was president. i wasn't president. and what i learned is one thing. our facilities are cleaner, better kept and better run. that's the one thing i learned. i saw that. but what we have is two extremes. i said this is fine for us. the democrats want open borders, they want anybody they want including ms-13 pouring into the country. and the democrats don't like

i.c.e., great, brave tough people. these people are much tougher than ms-13. they don't like border patrol. they don't like your police. they don't like anybody. the democrats want to protect illegals coming into this country. some of whom are not good. some of whom cause lots of problems in the worst possible way. they want to protect illegals coming into the country much more so than they want to protect you. and that's not where we are coming from. okay? so i defined it today. the democrats want open borders and they don't mind crime. we want very tight, very strict borders, and by the way, you saw a 70-year low, with all the complaining i am doing, we have done a good job and we have taken thousands -- we got to get

that wall built all the way across. that's like a symbol. they are only good at one thing. what's their term. resist. the party of maxine waters. do you believe her? this has become the party of maxine waters and nancy pelosi. that's what it is. so they don't mind crime, they wanted open borders. we wanted really tough boirsd and we want people to come in through the legal process. what about the thousands of people that have gone through this process that are waiting in line to come into our country and we are going to let these people pour in, we have no idea who they are. and they came to me three days ago. sir, we would like to you sign this order. we need 5,000 judges on the bored. i said judges.

what other country has judges. i said how many do we have now? they didn't even know. we have thousands of judges now we'll have 5,000. i have done a good job with judges, judge gorsuch. and we have many judges. we'll set the record for the most of judges. which is an important thing. we are putting great talented people who see the constitution the way it's written. they don't make up the constitution. but they come up, and this is -- sir, we need 5,000 judges. i said 5,000. we put a judge on like on the bench. federal. it takes us weeks to vet. it takes us a long time to get the judges. we are talking about one person. 5,000. i said where are you going to find 5,000 people to be judges. how many do we have now?

they don't even know the number even though they are in charge. we have thousands of judges already. if a person comes into our country, steps one foot, they take their name, they bring them to court, they release them and they go into the country and you never see them again. it's the craziest thing i have ever seen. i said i don't want judges. i want i.c.e. and border patrol agents. that's all. and we want to tell people i'm sorry. you are coming into the country illegally. we don't want you in the country. it's over. do you know i heard a number today which is hard to believe. we have 700,000 people waiting to go on trial. this isn't from trump it was a disaster for bush, although we have much appreciated laura bush's lovely letter, it was a disaster for barb, it was a disaster for obama. in fact the head of this homeland was on over the weekend

and he was very honest by the. he said it was a tough time for them. but we are going to straighten it out. i got a bad hand. i got the job, and trade deals were bad. how bad we are trade deals. north korea, they thought they were going to war. you go to war with north korea you will lose 30 to 50 million people. seoul is a city with 28 million people. you go and you go to war, you lose 30, 40, 50, who knows, millions of people. i'm not even talking about nuclear. they have thousands of ca cann oorkcannonsaimed at seoul. you could have lost millions and millions of people. i got a bad hand with north korea.

i got a bad hand with all these horrible trait deals. mexico will make over $100 billion on the united states this year. canada, nice guy, nice guy, prime minister justin. i said justin, what's your problem, justin? canada, o'canada, i like their national anthem. i like ours better. canada is great. i love canada. we had a wonderful understanding. we hugged, we kid. everybody was happy. i. i made some changes. i left, everybody was happy. prime minister abe said president trump was right, everybody was in love. they took the picture with merkel, we were friendly. i get on to air force one and he

doesn't understand air force one has 22 televisions. they have televisions in closets and areas no place does. unlimited budget, air force one. i get on to the plane and i see justin trudeau, the prime minister of canada, saying canada will not be bullied by the united states. i said what are we doing here? canada has a 275% tariff on dairy products. their lumber is a disaster with us. i say why aren't we using our own lumber. now we are allowed to take lumber from our field and regrow it. and take lumber from our environmental system. in the old days you couldn't do that. we had to go to other countries. lumber is a disaster. energy is a disaster. justin said we fought world war i together and world war ii together. that's true. we love canada.

but can days charging almost 300% tariffs on dairy products and other things. but it's all work out great. i said if you are going to do that, we'll put a tariff on your cars. european union. we lost $151 billion with the european union. sounds nice. many of us originally came from somewhere in the european union. i had two parents, european union. it sounds wonderful. our country lost $151 million. they send their mercedes and ws we tax practically nothing. we can't send our cars. if we do they charge many, many times the tax we stupidly don't charge. i told them here is what we are going to do. we'll charge a tariff on steel.

they don't let our farmers into the european union it's very hard. so we have farmers that want to sell. with these people, they don't tell you these stories. the european union has what they call trade barriers. the european union doesn't allow our farmers to go and trade. if they do it's very expensive. like canada. when you are paying a 275% tax, now i understand it's higher. that's essentially a trade barrier. you can't trade. how can we pay that kind of a tax. i want the barriers taken down, i wanted our farmers to be able to trade. i want to sell cars there just like they sell cars here. it's all going to work out. remember this. it's all going to work out because we are the piggy bank they like to take from. whether it's military

protection, you look at nato. nato, we are spending 90% with nato. it's all wonderful and we like to help out. but it helps them more than it helps us. we are very far away. germany is paying 1% of a much smaller gdp. we are paying close to 4% of a much larger gdp. now, that doesn't work, forks. -- folks. i think we should pay the same as germany. so we are work all of these things. but we were given somewhat of a bad hand because we came and they had all these problems. i'm loving what we are doing. you people are loving what we are doing. we have the great peter navarro.

he likes tariffs. he likes them better than i do. they are all calling. they all want to make deals. before i did this, they weren't calling the obama administration. but the obama administration -- and in all fairness the bush administration didn't care. it wasn't their thing. last year on trade our country lost $817 billion with a b, billion dollars. $817. who the hell can do that? we don't have to be perfect and we don't have to get it down to zero. but we can't lose 800. you feel sort of stupid. don't you? don't you feel stupid? and the biggest of course is china. china made anywhere depending on the way you count, from $375

billion, we built china. and i really like president xi. but we built china. and they did helping you with the bored with nort -- with ther with north korea. there has to be some fairness. i am a believer in free trade, but i'm really a believer in fair trade. this is ridiculous. i said to a man in china. how did it get so bad? they know the gig is up. how did it get so bad? remember this. since i got elected we picked up tremendous worth. we picked up anywhere from 9 to 7 to 7 to 9 trillion dollars. we are almost twice the size of china's economy. nobody knows that.

nobody knows that. i said how did it get so bad? they said we would put on a tax on cars. in china if you sell a car into china from the united states, they charge you a 25% tax. if china sells a car into the united states we charge them 2.5%. so it's 2.5% versus 25 percent. that's not a big worker. i better a successful guy. big success. but that doesn't work too well, does it? we can many, many cases like that. we'll straighten it out. and they all want to negotiate. they have to negotiate. it has to happen. that's not a threat. it's like the iran deal was so bad. we paid $150 billion to sign a horrible agreement. we gave $1.8 billion in cash to

pick up four hostages. they are the wealthiest hostages in the world. they have the highest net worth of any hostage in history. we paid nothing. nothing to north korea and he did a smart thing. it was goodwill. we did it before i even left. there are a lot of good things. and and lot of good things are happening and it's all going to work out. it's going to work out because we have a big advantage. remember we are the bank and they are taking money from us hand over fist. at some point it has to stop. we can lower your taxes which we did. we give you the greatest tax cut in the history of our country. [cheers and applause] we have some incredible things

happening with healthcare. we got badly hurt. we had all the votes, then one gentleman like 2:00 in the morning, he went no. well, he campaigned on repeal and replace. we had all the votes. perhaps he was grandstanding. who knows what he was doing. he said no no. people said what the hell happened. he has been campaigning for 8 years. repeal and replace. and he didn't do that. but now what we have done in the tax cuts is we have gotten rid of the individual mandate. the individual mandate. we have gotten rid of it. by the way, i have the stupid teleprompters, you don't find mind that i haven't used them. every once in a while i look at them, it's so boring. america is back, bigger and bert and stronger than ever.

i keep look. i see things that just. they are true. but not not quite as exciting. so we are doing some well. we are lifting millions and millions of americans from welfare to work. from dependence to independence and poverty to prosperity. right? we are putting new american steel into the spine of our country and breathing new hope into our beautiful communities. it's true. the forgot eve fore -- the forgn and women are forgotten no more. they are trying to figure out who are these people who came and voted. who are they? all of us. they are trying to find, how do we get to the forgotten men and women. i said i think you have lost

them for a long time. because just like this producer from hollywood said, we are doing a real job. i don't believe, so now it's 511 days. i don't believe any administration -- and you are with us -- when we came out, we are partners, this is not me. this is a whole group of people. i don't believe, and i don't even think it's close. that any president has done what we have done in 500 days. [cheers and applause] not on the judges, not only the biggest tax cut, not only anwar in alaska. you know all about anwar, one of the great drilling sites in the world. nobody could get oil and gas. nobody could get approved. ronald ray gab couldn't get it. nobody could. i didn't even want it until i

heard nobody else wanted it. that's part of our tax cuts. tax cuts and reform. give me the word cut. i want the word cut. so we cut regulations more than any president in history whether it's four years, eight years, 16 years. we want regulation. we want crystal clean water. we want beautiful clean air. we want it more than anybody, and our air and our water is better than it ever has been, and we are going to keep it that way. it's very important. so as long as we are proud of who we are and we are very proud of who we are, and what we are fighting for, we as a country will never ever fail. we'll never fail. [cheers and applause]

we have 3.4 million new jobs since election day. if i would have said during the campaign that i was going to create 3.4 million new jobs, countries are trying to hold back their companies that used to be our companies from leaving and moving back to the united states. we have companies, chrysler, so many companies coming back into the united states. they want to be where the action is, not only because of the tax cuts. but for the other reasons, including those regulation cuts. but we have more jobs, we have higher stats. the manufacturers of the united states voted and said this is the single most of optimism manufacturers in this country

have ever had. small business owners the same thing. it's the most of optimistic it's ever been. they have never been this optimistic. i'll tell you something. i would like to take the credit for this. but i can't because it's henry. south consider is doing unbelievable business. companies are pouring in. your jobs are way up. your numbers are through the roof. you are a real leader all over the country they are looking at south carolina. your governor is a man named henry mcmaster. you are doing unbelievable numbers. i didn't want to say that, henry. i didn't want to say that henry. i wanted to take the credit for myself. but i figured south carolina would understand. but were standing on the shoulders of true american

patriots who put down the railroad, built up the highways and dug out a thing called the panama canal and lost many liv doing it. mosquitoes took many, many lives. they crossed oceans, trekked deserts and scaled mountains and built the mort incredible nation the world has never seen. but our nation was going badly in the wrong direction for a long period of time. we have $7 trillion in the middle east. what do we have? other than death and destruction. what do we have? what a decision that was to go in. i believe it was the worst decision in the history of our country. and the way we got out was horrible if you look at iraq. the way we got out was horrible. truly one of the worst decisions ever made. $7 trillion and thousands of

lives. count the lives on both sides millions. our answers on won two world wars, defeated fascism and communism, put a month on the face of the moon, by the way, nasa is now open for business. [cheers and applause] open for business. i put a great man a wonderful human being, a great leader, a friend, mike pence, vice president in charge. i had a meeting with mike and other people running nasa. i said, listen, you got rich guys for whatever reason they love rockets, we don't have to put up so much money, let them put up the money, you have guys sending rockets.

i said, lease them the land, charge fem them a lot, that better, we're a lan land lord. we're doing our things. we have rich guys, i don't know what it is, they love rockets. i said this great. you can't send rockets like down the street, right. you can't take the local plot, local walmart, local store, and send a rocket, we have these en credible big sites that are meant for this with the infrastructure, much has not been used in a long time. we're back in, i said to him, i think business people, let the rich guys pay for it. we got site and real estate. let them put their rockets up, you saw elon the other day, i neff sanever saw anything like . i thought was incredible the engines came back down that is

incredible. they came down. the third is missing. but this is okay. i thought that is incredible. have you rich guys that are worth billions, they want to spend money to rocketry that great. i told my people, let them do it. if they reach the moon with their money, we'll take all of the credit. nobody will remember name, let it do it. keep this momentum going, we need more republicans in washington. we need governor henry mcmaster as a continuation in south carolina. very important. come here, henry. because with your help we're going to continue to win. do you remember in the campaign?

henry do you remember? i came to south carolina. i said we'll win so much, you people are going to get tired of winning, you are going to say governor mcmaster please, we can't stand winning and more, go to washington, talk to the president, we can't win any more, we're going to win, remember, i said we're going to win in trade, we're going to win in space. by the way, henry, army, navy, air force, marines, coast guard, airs force, right? air force? and what are we doing to do, space force. people love that. you know it will be we talk about rockets. but henry, defense is now largely based on satellites and everything in space, the problem with air force, i don't think

they will really sort of you know they want planes flying, but i don't think they will focus on space like they should, we'll create a space force it will be great. we need that militarily, and in many other ways, but we do need it militarily also. this week so important to go out and vote for country, vote for family, vote for values. vote for victory, and vote for henry. he is a great, great gentleman. a great gentleman. because as a group together we will make america wealthy again. make america strong again. we will make america safe again, henry. and we will make america great
