>> martha: so easy to understand that the president is in the building now. he will be there speaking in just a moment. merry christmas signs everywhere. that's the story for this week. see you back here on monday. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight. you are looking at live pictures at the stage in pensacola, florida where the president will hold a campaign style rally in just a few minutes. take you there as soon as he arrives at the venue which is about 25 miles from the alabama border. that, of course, is where judge roy moore hopes to win a suddenly competitive race for the u.s. senate. that's on tuesday. first though we start out with two people who know what it's like to be on the campaign trail with the president. former trump campaign manager and chief strategist at america first corey lewandowski and trump's former campaign manager david bossie. both authors of the brand new book "let trump be trump." welcome to you both.

david bossie, first to you. you traveled with the president before he does live events. what is his ritual before getting on stage? >> he sticks to himself. reviews his remarks and thinking about the important message that he wants to deliver that particular day. i think tonight it's going to be talking about the verdict of kate steinle, the atrocious verdict in san francisco last week. this is the first time he is going to be able to address that in a rally. i think he is going to talk about building the wall. i think he is going to talk about our strong economic numbers. 220 plus thousand new jobs today. 2.2 million new jobs since his election one year ago. the economic boon that we have seen through the shear force of his will and deregulatory pen. i think he is going to spread that good news tonight in pensacola. >> tucker: part of it, corey has got to be about the senate race given the proximity to the venue. he has endorsed, in effect, judge roy moore for that

office. is he certain that if elected to the office moore will support his agenda. moore was opposed to donald trump in the primary but is he on board now, are you certain of that? >> tucker, it's a clear difference between the two candidates running for the senate. one is a big liberal anti-immigration. stopping illegal immigration who is going to side with chuck schumer and the other one in roy moore is going to support the president's agenda of moving america forward. it's a very clear choice. this isn't a choice between two pretty good conservatives. one is a big spending liberal and one is going to support the president's agenda and that's why he is down there supporting roy moore tonight. >> tucker: dave bossie, you kind of wonder the national democratic party has made it impossible for any democrat running statewide to come out as a pro-life candidate. they have basically come out and said we will not accept you. you have to wonder in this

specific case had doug jones come out as pro-life democrat. it might have made all the difference for the democrats. i wonder if they will rethink that policy in the wake of this race. >> honestly, i wish they would see how important, you know, the position of life is to all americans. they are adrift and they have a stamp that if you don't have the proabortion stamp on your passport you can't run would statewide office in any state and have the democratic party support. >> tucker: i think they could win this race with pro-life stance. >> in particular. but jones has been a pro-choice democratic liberal for his entire career. this is not -- they are not able to just pull that card out for this race. >> tucker: so, corey, why didn't the president endorse moore in the first place? >> i think what the president went down to do is he went down and supported luther strange in the race. someone who he has worked with to get his agenda done through the u.s. senate.

he got to know big luther and went down and supported him. as soon as that race was decided by the people of alabama. donald trump got on board and is now supporting roy moore because the choice is very clear. you can go and have an al franken, you know, chuck schumer liberal in washington, d.c. from alabama. or you can vote for a conservative in roy moore. >> >> tucker: for our viewers that was congressman gates on the stage and now we are watching congressman desantis. we will go there as soon as the president comes up. you suggest the president is going to talk about the border wall. a central promise of his campaign more than a year since the campaign and no border wall. what's the time line on that? >> he is trying to stick to the promises he made during the campaign. is he trying to work with the congress and the senate to get that done. you can see, tucker, as all americans do that the

republican leadership needs to get on board with that wall because they control the purse string. they control the legislative agenda. we must have a wall and i think after this kate steinle verdict of last week, it is going to be the impetus to get this done. i'm hopeful that the wall, building the wall, the funding of the wall will be something that will be in our budget for next year 2018. >> tucker: that is kind of the question for you. so there are members of the republican leadership who are ideologically opposed to a wall and their donors are opposed to it the president doesn't mind picking fights with members of his own party. why not pick one on this here is the three people appreciating the walpreventing i promised. >> we have new leadership at the department of homeland security. we look at the immigration numbers what general kelly did before he became the chief has really

dramatically slowed that illegal immigration on the southern border. we will build the wall, tucker. i'm certain of it the proto types are out there being built in the desert. the funding has to get there i think, i agree with you in congress. it's a promise he made in the campaign and promise he will keep to the american people. >> tucker: i mean that's an absolute. would it be fair, just to follow up on that, to say, look, this is something you promised explicitly and repeatedly, it's fair to judge you on whether you get it done. >> absolutely i think. so we ran the campaign as you know we talk about it in the book, the great book, tucker, "let trump be trump" the immigration issue how important it was on the campaign trail talking about illegal immigration. he talked about it so many times. mexico is going to pay for the wall. it was a hallmark of the campaign. what that means is you have to follow through on those promises like he is doing on tax reform, like he will do on healthcare reform. like he will do on transportation, infrastructure, you have got

to get the wall built. >> tucker: david bossie, when you say let trump be trump, what does that mean? >> what we talk about and this is corey's catchphrase during the primary campaign. one of the reasons in the book find out all the facts, story of this campaign but i introduced corey to the president back in 2014 one of the reasons i recommended him to be the campaign manager he was going to help donald trump be true to himself and let trump be trump. professionals weren't going to come in and manage him and try to make him something that he is not. that he is a conservative populist and he is going to be true to those ideals. that's what the book is about. that's what presidency is about. >> tucker: corey how does moving the embassy to one to

another address conservative populism. >> it is, tucker. remember. he talked about this on the campaign trail. i looked and have listened to other people on the networks saying 13 presidents prior to him pras promised to move the embassy. first year in office he promised and delivering on it. he is not a career politician. you go back and look at the promises he made on the campaign trail. he is now fulfilling those as the president. what's amazing is the mainstream media can't believe it. they say hey, look, he promised to do something. he is doing it because he has never been a politician. he is a businessman. moving that embassy is a huge step. it is a generational step for the people of israel. >> tucker: what about for the people of america? >> well, look, it's very important. israel is very important ally of ours. they are our closest. we are helping them. they are helping us. they have amazing wall built around our city, right? we can work our partners and people of america they want safety and security. we have a lot of jewish

americans here. who have a lot of family back home. this is something that that community has longed for for a long, long time. >> tucker: gentlemen, thank you very much. please stay with us if you would. of course, president trump's speech is set to start any minute. we will take you right to it when it does. just across the border from where this event is taking place tonight in pensacola, alabama democrat doug jones facing backlash because his campaign apparently distributed fliers that show image of incredulous black man and they say this quote think if a black man went after high school girls. anyone would try to make him a senator. the blaze lawrence jones says stunts like this are exactly why he left the democratic party. he joins us tonight. lawrence, thanks for coming on. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: what do you dislike about this act. >> it's actually incorrect, a. they are using black people as a tool as they consistently do in every election. what it comes down to actually advocating for issues that affect our community once they get elected they are not concerned about that. that's why you are seeing

publications from the root who are very progressive. >> tucker: very. >> that are against this because they are using black people. quite frankly people are sick of this. people are sick of especially my community being used in an election. >> tucker: i thought it made a pretty smart point. it's patronizing because the message it is sending is black voters in alabama would be voting for this guy if it weren't for this. >> just based on this issue alone. quite frankly, tucker, in my opinion, it insults the intelligence of black voters. number one, i want to push back on something. if their theory is correct, wouldn't black folks want due process? i mean, wouldn't they want to go through the legal process to make sure. >> tucker: of course. >> if they were wrongly accused. if they are going to be treated differently, so, the whole point that they are making is counter productive to the argument that they lay in this ad.

and i think that's why a lot of black folk are offended. >> tucker: it is patronizing as hell. you say it's no different than what we see every election cycle. >> every election cycle they find some race baiting tactic. right now i'm not saying black folk are going to vote for the republican party. i left and became a conservative. but they will stay home. as you saw in the past election when black voters say home it's not a good picture for the democratic party. >> tucker: i wonder affirmative promises why are going to do this. instead it's the other guy hates you. >> right. i will talked about this earlier today on fox. when you look at unemployment numbers doubling under president obama, under president trump it's at 20-year low right now. they don't want to talk about those issues. they prefer to say that guy is racist. when it comes down to rolling up sleeves going in

the community and fighting for issues like school choice, they are nowhere to be found. >> tucker: you are saying black voters are like any kind of voter. economic issues are primary issues. >> except the black vote is loyal to the democratic party. i think it's not unfair thing to ask the democratic party to be loyal to them back. we see every election from 80% to 90% of the black vote is a block that is dedicated to the democratic party. and that's why black folk are so furious with ads like this. >> tucker: i think it's any group. not even racist. you think people hate you. you are not even going to consider voting for them. we are going to go to the president of the united states who is mounting the stage there in pensacola, florida there he is thank you, lawrence. >> thanks, tucker. ♪ at least i know i'm free ♪ i won't forget the men who died ♪ who gave that right to me ♪ and i gladly stand up ♪ next to you

[cheers] [chanting trump, trump, trump] [cheers and applause] in our campaign for the presidency, we defied the pundits, the politicians,

and the special interests because ours was a movement of people and it really was. it was a movement of you. it was a movement of the people. it was a movement to make america great again. it's happening. it's happening. and by the way, how are your 401(k)s doing? not too bad, right? [cheers] over the weekend i was in new york city. and i love to say hello to our folks in uniform whether it's the military, whether it's law enforcement. and we had people back stage and i always want to take my time. and a man comes up. he was a police officer in new york city. first time anyone said this to me. he said mr. president i want to thank you. my family thinks i'm a financial genius. my 401(k) is up 39% in nine months. [cheers and applause]

i it's going to be hard for anybody to beat news a few years. all you have to say with us it goes up with them it goes down and that's the end of the election. right? [cheers] everyone is doing well and it's going to be a lot better. we are going to do better and we are going to make our country great again. looking at our country now as america first. america first. [chanting u.s.a.] so tonight we are going to speak straight to the american people and cut right through the fake news

media. right through. right through. [cheers] we're going to speak the plain truth and really the truth that you just want to hear. you have to hear. they don't want to hear. but, and by the way, did you see all the corrections the media has been making? saying sorry we made -- they have been doing that all year. they never apologize. maybe that comes with being the president. i don't know. they have been apologizing left and right. they took this fraudster from abc. they suspended him for a month. they should have fired him for what he wrote [applause] >> he drove the stock market down 350 points in minutes which, by the way, tells you they really like me, right, when you think of it. and you know what he cost people? and i said to everybody get

yourself a lawyer and sue abc news. sue them. [cheers] and then cnn apologized just a little while ago. they apologized oh thank you v n cnn, thank you so much. you should have been apologizing for the last two years. [cheers] true. what a group. what a group. since the election and not going to argue with this. we created .2 million new jobs. factories are coming back to our country. you know we have factories pouring back into our country? did you ever think you would hear that. i used to tell you that's going to happen. see now there is consequences when companies

close up their factories and move to another country and sell it. they have consequences now. by the way those consequences are getting very steep. they are going up. there is no more of that stuff. there is no more. in november alone, you saw this today we added 228,000 jobs. i watched the anchors they were devastated. oh, what's going on. honestly we have a long way to go. we are going to do much better than. this i have been saying it. including another 33,000 new jobs in manufacturing. hispanic unemployment is the lowest ever recorded. any hispanics here? any hispanics? you guys were great.

i'm going to build the wall but they want the wall, too. they want stuart security. [applause] [chanting build that wall] they want security. how about the cuban population in miami? >> well, we have cubans here tonight, good. 86% in favor of trump. tremendous percentage. total unemployment is now at a 17-year low. not bad. not bad after 10 months. only going to get better. listen to this one. this is maybe the most

important because it's all psychological to a large extent and that's what creates great news. consumer confidence is at 17-year high. think of that. it was not like that in your last administration. economic growth last quarter surged to 3.3%. you know it. you know where it was, right? when we started, you know where it was? bingo. 3.3% and it's going a lot higher. you know, i used to hear you will never hit 3. you will never hit 2.5. you figure 2.3, 2.4. if we didn't have the hurricanes last quarter, we would have hit 4% and everybody back there would have said that's impossible. we had a little -- couple of hurricanes. you heard about it, right? you heard about it?

the stock market is hitting an all-time high record for another -- and think of this. 86 times since election day 86 times. [cheers and applause] it hit a record. 86 times. and we're going to keep it going. and then you look at all of the money you folks are making. oh, i wish i could take 10% or 15%. you are not going to do that. it's getting bigger and bigger. your pensions are getting bigger and bigger. your pension funds, all of those things are happening. wait until you see what we're doing. tax cuts. wait until you see what we are doing with healthcare. you will be happy. not the obamacare nightmare. not obamacare nightmare. it's not that nightmare where your premiums are a disaster, right? they are a disaster.

now we have it going you watch we have some very good things happening with respect to healthcare. and the taxes are a part of it. you will see what happens right after taxes, you will see what happens. because with taxes something great is going to get announced. we're getting rid of the individual mandate. that individual mandate. [cheers and applause] where you pay a lot of money for the privilege of not having to have insurance or healthcare. so you pay for the privilege of not getting taken care of. isn't that a wonderful thing? and we're going to repeal it. [cheers and applause] since the election, we have created more than $5 trillion in new economic wealth just in the stock market alone. not including real estate

and other values, $5 trillion. and we are finally rebuilding our country, defending our citizens and fighting for our great american workers. [cheers and applause] we're putting america first by renegotiating trade deals. we are renegotiating nafta. we are renegotiating our horrendous deal with south korea. i kept you out of the tpp which would have been a total disaster for you and for everybody else. and we're making individual deals for these countries. you know, when you get tied into 12 countries or 22 countries or 18 countries, you are stuck. it's a spider web. it's like this. if you have 16 good ones and two bad ones as an example, you can't do it. you can't get out. when you have a deal one-on-one. nice simple deal. we have a deal with japan or we have a deal with south korea or we have a deal with

whoever it may be if they don't treat us right we send them a letter of termination. [cheers and applause] these people say oh tpp. all these countries tied. in you can't terminate. you are tied in to all the good ones. [shouting] >> thank you very much. i appreciate it. >> so you can't do what you have to do. so you send out a letter of termination. you give them a 60-days in the or 30-days in the or even a six month notice. they then come back because we're the big piggy bank that everybody likes robbing. the whole world robs it. so they then come back and they say can reneg united states? and we make a better deal than we had in the first place, right? but you can't do that when you have many countries tied in i call it a spider's web. there is a lot of washington lobbyists, bureaucrats, politicians who don't want

to see things changed. they have made a for country. areas around washington, d.c. are the richest areas in this country. you saw it the other night. a list came out. we have five areas that are among the richest areas in the country. that's because everybody is making a fortune and people outside of that area are paying for the money they are making we're not going to have it. they like the way things used to be. i must tell you doing well also. their stocks are going up. i don't know if there is anything i can do to prevent it for those people. but they call themselves the resistance. do you ever see these signs resist. resist. [cheers] i love these guys. look at these guys, blacks

for trump. i love you. i love you. i love you. by the way, now that you bring it up black home ownership just hit the highest level it's ever been in the history of our country. congratulations. [cheers and applause] oh these resisters resist. hillary resisted and do you know what happened? she lost the election in a landslide. [applause] but you know what? they are really resisting? they are resisting the will of the american people. that's what they are resisting. [chanting lock her up]

look, it's being proven we have a rigged system. it doesn't happen so easy. but this system, there will be a lot of changes. this ask a rigged -- this is a rigged system. this is a sick system from the inside. and, you know, there is no country like our country but we have a lot of sickness in some of our institutions we're working very hard. we have a lot of them straightened out. we have a rigged system in this country that we have to change it. terrible. they are resisting progress. they're resisting change. because the only thing they really care about is

protecting what they have been able to do, which is really control the country and not to your benefit. by the way, wages starting to go up. first time in 20 years starting to go up. that's all going to happen. that's all going to happen. [cheers and applause] that's just a part of what's going on. i will do something better than that we have choice in education now. we are starting that. i thought of it the other day. we will have choice in jobs so you don't have one job and hang on even though you don't like it. you can have choice where can you take five jobs, six jobs, seven jobs pick the one you like at the most money. that's what is starting to happen because the jobs are coming. in that's what is starting to happen. thanks to general mattis and the military leaders and the allies. mad dog,. [cheers and applause] mad dog mattis.

thanks to mad dog mattis that we have great military leaders. isis is being dealt one brutal defeat after another. not only are we defeating these savage killers, horrible, horrible, you don't even want to say people. savage killers. over there but we sure as hell don't want them to come over here. i'm sorry. i'm sorry. [cheers and applause] you know, they come back to some countries and come in. we are making it a very difficult process. we had such weakness. they go out, kill people. and come back and go back home to mom and dad.

okay? before they went nutso and start over here, we are making it very difficult. you see what happens. we watching every single one. we have thousands of people right now under surveillance. surveillance. that sounds familiar. that sounds familiar. remember what i suggested something like that everyone said trump, why does he say? well, turns out i was right about that one, wasn't i? [cheers] america is being respected again abroad and we are taking care of our citizens at home. and we're going to have safety. and we have got a lot more now. we are getting rid of the m.s. 13 animals. [cheers and applause] >> we're going to have safety again. because america is more than just a place on a map. america is a nation, america is a family. america is ours to love and to cherish and to protect

and to take care of and that's what we're doing we're going to take care of this country for our children and our grandchildren and our great grandchildren. and we're not going to let people come in to our country who are going to destroy our country. [chanting u.s.a.] and that may or may not be politically correct. but honestly, i don't care. we have to do the right thing. we have to do the right thing. [cheers and applause] our agenda is pro-family, pro-police, pro-worker, and 100 percent pro-american. [cheers and applause]

that's why i recently withdrew the united states from the united nations plan for global governance of immigration and refugee policy. no borders. they have a plan, no borders. i heard about it recently. i said what are you talking about no borders? no borders. no borders. everybody can come in. if you don't mind, i rejected that plan. is that okay? [applause] i told them not only do we want no borders. we want the strongest borders you have ever seen. we will have such borders. borders on top of borders. american is a sovereign country. we set our immigration rules. we don't listen to foreign bureaucrats. we don't listen to other countries telling us how we

should be running our immigration. thank you very much. [cheers and applause] we're also getting smart and tough on trade. i have been talking about this for a long time. it's one of the reasons i'm here. one of the reasons i'm president. we are renegotiating the disastrous trade agreements of nafta, of south korea, of so many others. we are making great deals. we're going to hopefully keep nafta but there is a chance we won't. and that's okay. that's okay. how many factories are left for mexico? >> too many. >> so would right now have a trade deficit with mexico of $71 billion that doesn't include all the drugs that pour in over the border because we don't have a wall, et cetera.

okay? $71 billion. 71 billion. think of it, we have a trade deficit with plex co-of $71 billion. we have a pretty good trade deficit with canada. they were saying we have a surplus with canada. i said -- and i like the prime minister very much. prime minister trudeau, nice guy. good guy. no, i like him. but we had a meeting. he said no, no. you have a trade surplus. i said no we don't. he said no, no, you have a trade surplus. i said, mr. prime minister, we do not. he said how do you know? i said because we don't have a surplus with anybody. we have the worst deals. he said i'm telling you that canada has a deficit with the united states. i told my people in front of a lot of people. i said go out and check. and he was right except he forgot two categories, lumber, timber and energy. other than that, he was right. when you add them all together, we actually have a

$71 billion deficit with canada. right? he forgot a couple of categories he didn't want to mention. i heard it with other countries too. i brought back $300 billion worth of deals. [cheers and applause] and that number is going to go a lot higher. these are numbers that are going to produce a lot of jobs in our country. that's what we have to be doing. we are going to end the theft of american intellectual property, crack down on china's trade abuses, and confront countries that cheat, of which many of them are in that category sadly. we will buy back our country. we will take back our country. we will make those great trade deals and we will have unbelievable amounts of jobs created and factories

created. [cheers and applause] we will do what other countries do. we will start buying american. we want to buy our product. and we will start hiring american. and we will say american and be proud of it and that's what's happening more and more. that's why i see all those red hats and those white hats. i love those hats. [cheers and applause] that is why one of my first ax as president is to withdraw the united states from the job-killing trans-pacific partnership. had to do it. we have also cancelled the one job killing regulation that you see after another. one after another, beating the mark of any previous president. now, we have -- there was a great article in the "wall

street journal" the other day, full page, that in the history of our country, nobody, nobody even close, and these are longer terms than 10 months, that in 10 months i have done more on knocking out regulations than any other president in our history. do you know who was right up there, honest abe lincoln. can you believe it? he was a regulation cutter. can you believe it? [cheers and applause] >> abe lincoln was a regulation cutter. who would have known that i said you mean i beat abraham lincoln? that's pretty good for ten months. i don't know if regulation sounds so glamorous but i can tell you it's very important. but we have a lot of others. we have statutory requirements where you have to give a 90-days in the and another 90-days in the and then you have a cooling off period and 30 day notice. they are all in the works. and you are going to see a lot more cutting of regulation. but we have done more than any other president and it's

not even close. i keep coming back. boy, when we were doing well during that beautiful election night, when we were doing well all over florida, i said was the pensacola area included yet? and they said no. i said guess what? we just won that election u. [cheers and applause] and as promised, remember? i announced that i would withdraw america, the united states, from the horrible,

for us, good for other countries, it's great for other countries, from the horrible paris climate accord. [cheers and applause] cost us a fortune. so china doesn't start until around 2030. russia doesn't have to go back to like a recent date. they go back to somewhere in the 1990s, which was a hypo lucien time. other countries we end up giving money to. this would have been one of the great catastrophes and i could come back into the deal in a much better price. i could come back into the paris accord and i like the people i like emanuel and i like so many of the people involved. i did come back. it's like -- i don't get it.

i don't see it i want clean air. i want crystal clear and clean water. i want things that they won't have and i don't want to pay the kind of numbers that you are talking about. if we stayed with those numbers, we would have had to close factories and businesses in order to qualify by 2025. can you imagine, ladies and gentlemen, we're varietying the accord in the meantime some of those countries are spewing stuff out that you wouldn't believe and we would be closing up. now we could maybe change the deal but then we would get sued by all the groups. they don't sue china. nobody sues. with us they sue. i approved immediately after we took office, the keystone xl and dakota access pipe pipeline. 48,000 jobs.

we have lifted the restrictions on american energy, including shale, oil, natural gas, and clean, beautiful coal of which we have 1,000 years of supplies. and we're putting minors back to work. you see west virginia, i love west virginia, west virginia, i love west virginia, so west virginia people are saying oh, trouble. coal will never come back. in the meantime, they are buying it in vietnam from us. the president of vietnam says that is the finest coal we have ever purchased. they are buying it from us. so, west virginia, the numbers just out. great governor of west virginia. numbers just come out. west virginia had the biggest percentage increase in g.d.p. of any state in our union except for texas. it was second. how is that? how is that?

[cheers] and they said oh, coal will never come back. now we're opening up mines and we're drilling and we're doing all sorts of things. and the wind mills are wonderful. when the wind doesn't blow they really do cause problems. we have no energy this week. well, hopefully the wind will start blowing pretty soon. [laughter] we are pursuing american energy dominance. by the end of this year we will be totally self-sufficient. we will be major exporters of energy. we will take in massive amounts of money. we will start paying off our $20 trillion in debt. [cheers and applause] my administration also leading the charge to rebuild our military. right? [cheers and applause]

we're supporting our troops and their wonderful military families including those right here in the cradle of naval aviation the home of the legendary blue angels, people don't realize that. by the way, can those people fly or what? how about naval air station, pensacola? good place, right? and it's really time. this isn't a republican thing or democratic thing or anything. it's time for democrats in congress to drop the threats of shut downs of government.

and support a clean appropriations bill that fully supports and funds our military. we can't play games anymore. [cheers and applause] we can't play games. don't forget we make the greatest missiles, the greatest military equipment anywhere in the world. nobody is close. and what does it also mean? to me it's secondary in this case? what does it also mean? jobs, jobs. but we are building our military stronger and by the time i decide to go off into the wild blue yonder, you will have the strongest military this country has ever had by far. [cheers and applause] it's wrong and dangerous for congressional democrats to hold troop funding hostage

for amnesty letting people pour into our country, we don't know who they are. we don't know where they come from. you saw what happened with beautiful kate steinle. this guy he said he didn't know it was a gun. oh, he didn't know. he didn't know it was a gun. that's his new line. do you notice the federal government came in and brought another suit against him, right? [cheers and applause] that was a total miscarriage of justice he didn't know it was a gun. the real changes we are facing are the drugs and gangs pouring into our country. the millions of people overstaying their visas, chain migration that cost taxpayers billions and billions of dollars. and sanctuary cities that set free violent criminal

aliens all over our country and protect them. [crowd booing] people come in and they are not necessarily good like the man that ran over the animal that ran over many people in new york city the other day you saw that two months ago. he runs over people. goes on a beautiful -- i know it so well, west side highway. i know it so well. so beautiful. people running, jogging, trying to get in shape. he killed many people ran them over. chain migration. according to chain migration, he may have as many as 22 to 24 people that came in with him. his grandfather, his grandmother. his mother, his father, his brothers, his sisters, we have to end chain migration. we have to end chain migration.

you go to kate who was such a young beautiful american woman killed on a pier in san francisco in the prime of her life. she was killed by this guy, an illegal alien who had been deported five times and convicted seven times of felonies. i guess they weren't allow you had to mention this in court. they weren't allowed to mention. don't worry, we're right in there. but he was roaming free to threaten innocent americans like kate because of our porous borders and because san francisco is a sanctuary city. in other words, a city run by politicians who would rather protect criminal aliens than american citizens. i mean, let me give you another example. the city of chicago, what the hell is going on in

chicago? there are those that say that afghanistan is safer than chicago. okay? what is going on? do you know what's wrong with chicago? weak, ineffective politicians democrats that don't want to force restrictions. and don't -- by the way, chicago for those of you that are going to say guns, guns, chicago has the toughest gun laws in the united states. okay? just in case you were thinking about they immediately say you have got to take away. chicago has the toughest gun laws in the united states. so we're asking democrats in congress to cease their obstruction and do the right thing end sanctuary cities.

save innocent lives. we have also begun the process of building the wall on the southern border. we are empowering officers to do their job and they are doing a great job. ice and border patrol agents are working so hard and they endorsed us for the election. i say us because it's really not me, it's us all together it's us, we are a group. a big group. a big beautiful group. all you have to do is look around here. just look around [chanting u.s.a.]

i said just look around and the first thing i see is that big beautiful merry christmas sign. can you believe it? [cheers and applause] remember i told you two years ago when we started i said and it was summer but i said you know we are going to say merry christmas but let me just tell you the department stores had beautiful red walls, snowflakes. only one thing missing the words merry christmas. they are using those words again. do you notice? they are using those words again. [cheers and applause] one by one we are finding the illegal alien drug dealers, the gang members, the thieves, the criminals, and the killers preying on our children, preying on everybody, and we are throwing them the hell out of our country or we are putting them in prison.

[cheers and applause] and because our borders now are strong as they should be and they are going to get much stronger, we will not let these people back in. [applause] it's time for congress to adopt a pro-american immigration agenda. every member of congress should be asked where they stand on these issues. blocking funds to sanctuary cities. i don't want to give sanctuary cities money. passing kate's law to put repeat offenders behind bars for a long period of time. increasing the number of ice officers who are fantastic and border patrol officers so we can dismantle vile

criminal gangs like, as i said, ms-13, animals. ensuring that new immigrants to our country are financially self-sufficient and will not be on welfare the day they come in. [applause] we want a system that is merit based. they come in on merit. they don't come in a lottery system. how about the lottery system, folks? do you see that? [boo] that's the guy in new york city, the lottery system where they put names in a bin. you think these countries are legit when they do their lottery system. so what they do i would say, but more than just say, they take their worst and they put them in the bin. and then when they pick the lottery, they have the

real -- oh here we go and we end up getting them. no more lottery system. we are going to end that we have already started the process. [cheers and applause] we want people coming into our country who love our people, support our economy, and embrace our values. it's time to get our priorities straight. this guy is screaming we want roy moore. he is right. [cheers] democrats in congress want open borders, higher taxes, and government-run healthcare that doesn't work. cost a fortune. doesn't work. they are soft on crime. and they want to suffocate our economy with

socialist-style regulation. raise your taxes through the sky, they don't want to vote for our tax cuts because they want the -- they want tax increases. that's why we need a republican in the house. we need a republican in the senate. we need more of them. [applause] and by the way, just so i can satisfy this gentleman out there. how many people here are from the great state of alabama? [cheers and applause] whoa. well, i have to say this, look, i have to. we have to be fair. so did you see what happened today? do you know the yearbook? did you see that? there was a little mistake made. she started writing things in the yearbook.

oh, what are we going to do? gloria allred, any time you see her you know something's going wrong. we cannot afford -- this country, the future of this country, cannot afford to lose a seat in the very, very close united states senate. we can't afford it, folks. we can't. we can't afford to have a liberal democrat who is completely controlled by nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. we can't do it. [crowd booing] his name is jones and he is their total puppet. and everybody knows it he will never ever vote for us. we need somebody in that senate seat who will vote for our make america great

again agenda which involves tough on crime, strong on borders, strong on immigration. we want great people coming in to our country. building the wall. strengthening our military. continuing our great fight for our veterans. i love our veterans. we -- right? we love our veterans. we want conservative judges like judge gorsuch on the supreme court. doing a great job, too. we want people that are going to protect your gun rights. great trade deals instead of the horrible deal. and we want jobs, jobs,

jobs. so get out and vote for roy moore. [cheers and applause] do it. do it. working with republicans in congress, we have already signed 88 pieces of legislation. we get no credit. they always say well, president trump really needs this tax bill because he hasn't passed any legislation. well, so far in 10 months we have passed more during this period of time than any other president in the history of our country and the second let's call runner-up is harry truman was second. so we passed all of this, including, including the long awaited veterans accountability act. do you know what that is, right?
