the world. and past administrations said, no, we can't give that to law enforcement. someday, somebody's going to explain why but i sort of get it. it's not a good reason.1% it's about a 1% reason. we have a 99%. that equipment is being transferred all over the united states to our police and our law enforcement. and we already have it! the other side to side, but it's too good, it's too good. it's already paid for. defend the second amendment. and don't kid yourself. it is under siege. we defend the right to self-defense. never believe that your second

amendment is not under siege. we believe that a strong nation must have strong borders. we have pride in our history and respect for our great american flag. [crowd chanting "usa"] and we put our large, beautiful hands on our hearts for the pledge of allegiance! right? [cheers and applause]

and we proudly stand couple all the time we stand, because we love that sound. we stand for our national anthem at all times. but if we are going to defend our values, we need people in washington who share our values. democrats, like sleeping joe, say one thing when they are in elkhart and then they go to washington and vote for the radical, liberal agenda. it never, ever fails. [boos] you know, there's about 12 of them. you think you have their vote, and they talk a good game, but they always raise their hand for the radical left of

nancy pelosi. always. the center for effective lawmaking named joe donnelly the least effective democrat lawmaker in the united states senate. i don't know, mike, but i think that would be a very good phrase to run by. he's never sponsored a bill that has become a law. this november, andy and i will face an important choice. you can send a really incredible swamp person back to the senate like joe donnelly or you can send us republicans, like mike braun, to drain the swamp. [cheers and applause]

[crowd chanting "drain the swamp"] under my administration, we are fighting against the lobbyists, the special interests, and the corrupt washington politics. after years of rebuilding foreign countries, of which a lot of people partake in the cost of rebuilding most foreign countries, we are finally rebuilding our country! [cheers and applause] we fight to build their borders but we don't fight and spent no money to build our borders. figure that one out.

we are fighting and we are finally putting america first! [cheers and applause] and remember, the last time i did this, and they started to one half years years ago when i just started, people were not saying "merry christmas" anymore. the big store chains weren't saying "merry christmas, merry christmas," they weren't saying it. they weren't saying "merry christmas." now they are saying "merry christmas" again. [cheers and applause] to bring back our jobs, we are cracking down on unfair trade. we want trade deals that are fair and, by the way, reciproca reciprocal.

and we love our farmers. we are taking care of our farmers, and we love our factory workers. we love our workers! for decades, american presidents responded to foreign cheating on trade -- cheating -- there is no other word for it -- cheating! they responded with silence! they didn't do anything. they were silenced, silencio, let's not rock the boat. that's fine. we have 100 billion trade deficit with mexico. think of it. 100 billion trade deficit a year with mexico. we have a trade deficit with almost every country in the world. we are changing that around

rapidly. [cheers and applause] we racked up trillions of dollars in trade deficits, also known as losses, while other countries stole our factories, stole our plans, stole our wealth, and stole our jobs. [boos] but america's long silence is over and you see what is happening. car companies are coming back into the united states! they are moving back in. chrysler just announced, japan is building big ones. we are expanding our plants. and i put tariffs on steel and i put tariffs on aluminum and united states steel just announced that they are expanding their factories and they are building plants and we are going to start making steel

and aluminum again! [cheers and applause] america is respected again. different ball game. under my administration, we kept anotherro important promise when we put a great new justice on the united states supreme court, neil gorsuch. and next week, after the promises of many administrations and presidents, and that they never did it, they campaigned, they promised, they never did it -- next week, we will finally open the american embassy in jerusalem!

[cheers and applause] and i put one of my friends as the ambassador to israel, david friedman. good choice is right. one of the great lawyers of our country, made a lot of money as a lawyer. but he loves israel, he loves united states, what he loves israel. and he walked up to my desk about three months ago, right after i did it, because i said come on let's go, we want to go, we want to build, we want to build fast. so theyy walk up to my desk, and they gave me thiss beautiful folder and i am supposed to sign it, i said, what is it, and i have signed it, and they said, sir, we are building an embassy

in jerusalem, sir, i said, how much? something other presidents don't ask. they said -- i kid you not -- they said, sir, $1 billion! i said, i billion? you know what a billion dollars is? you have a beautiful house that costs you about 50,000 bucks, right? hopefully it's worth a lot more than that. but that's what it costs. so i said, a billion dollars? yes, sir. we are looking for a site now. we are going to spend a lot of money onmo it. everyone's going to get rich on the embassy. so i called david -- i stopped assigning, by the way. i had donald -- and then it was like dead. and then, i don't know if they still have it, beautiful paper, very official looking, and then all of a sudden, i stopped, never got to the t, and i

started putting xs because i was afraid that someone could say it was my signature. and i called up the ambassador, and i said, david, this is crazy. i said, we are going to build the embassy in jerusalem. but they want a billion dollars, they will look for sites. don't we have a site? he said, yeah, we have the best site. we already own it. and we have ald building on the site. and i could take that building that's on the site, mr. president, and i could take a corner of that building, a big, beautiful corner, and for $150,000, i could fix it, it will be so beautiful, the location is better, it's such a fat, which is good for safety. and i can build it! for 150,000. think of that. think ofit that. [cheers and applause]

i said, david, so you are going to renovate the corner of a building, it is going to be beautiful. the site is the best site, and we own it! theg building is already built! and we can fix it. so think of it. we have governments wanting to build a billion dollars in a site that would never be as good or as safe. a big site, they want to set facts for makes sense. so i said, david, you can do that from a billion to 150. you know what? spend two or 300,000, that's okay. think of it. the reason i was very cognizant, because i was supposed to cut the ribbon of the new embassy in london. and you know all that stuff. so we have the best piece of property and all of london. it's our embassy. and someone between the bush

administration and the obama administration -- they say bush started it, but obama could have stopped it,y let's say the two administrations, what they did is they said, wow, this is a great piece of property. we've been offered a lot of money. like 200 or 250 million. and what we'll do, because we are such great businessmen, what we are going to do, is we are going to test cell this best piece of property in london by . by the way, literally, if you know new york, fifth avenue and 57th street. i happen to have a building there, but at that is the best one. the tiffany location prior to the tiffany location. the. best location, and it's a big location, and it's the best embassy location we have. but somebody said, what a great deal. we are going to sell that for i think 250. so let's say, to a wealthy

person, and they are going to rip itoi down, build a hotel oro something, and we sold this thing for 250. now everybody in this room, because you are from indiana, you understand life. he would say, good, now you will build a new one for 50 million,e embassy, but it didn't work that way. so they sold the embassy before, like, around 250 million. they went out and bought a terrible piece of land in a lousy location and they just opened a new embassy in about location for $1.2 billion. what a great deal. what a great deal. [boos] so three months ago, i was supposed to go over to cut the ribbon on the new embassy.

but i couldn't do it. i said, i'm not doing it. i want to do it. does that make sense? i'm not going to do itti'm. think of that story. isn't that a sad story? i could give you 50 of those stories. it's all the same. it's all the same. i could give you some money. but just remember, when you see that -- oh, here's the other thing with the embassy. the new embassy, i said, when is it going to be open? the z, anywhere from five to ten years. so i sent, unless they give me an extension for the presidency presidency... [cheers and applause] which i don't thinkk the fake news media would be too happy about. [boos] wait, wait, wait. actually, theyhe would be happy, because when i'm not here, their

ratings are going to stink so they will probably be very happ happy. so they said from five to ten years. now you know when they say from five to ten years, that means probably 15 or 20 years, right? so we opened the embassy next week. three months. three months! all, i can tell you so many of those stories but i want to tell you anymore. we have to save some. we only have about a thousand left. among the many grave national security blunders of the previous administration, one of the world's worst was the disastrous iran nuclear deal, a deal that would allow iran to go right to the brink of nuclear weapons and ultimately very

quickly have a nuclear weapon, and byby the way, other countris in the middle east who do have money all of a sudden would be looking all over the place for nuclear weapons. that was going to force a disaster. to the also gave the regime billions of dollars -- how about this -- $150 billion! and 1.8 billion in green. 1.8 billion in cash! which would be used to spread to bedlam and death and destruction all over the middle east. they are all over the middle east. and with all of that being said, who knows, because weet are putting the harshest, strongest, most stringent sanctions on ira iran. [cheers and applause]

and i hope to be able to make a deal with them. a good deal. a fair deal. a good deal for them. better for them. better forer them. but we cannot allow them to have nuclear weapons. we must be able to go to a site and check that site. we have to be able to go into their military bases to see whether or not they are cheating. now of course we are all sure they are not cheating but just in case. the iran deal was one of the most embarrassing agreements the united states has ever entered into. you remember the ten sellers who were humiliated in front of the no reason whatsoever. but once again, democrat joe

donnelly serves his liberal people in washington, not the great people of indiana that i know so well. he voted to save the deal four times. [boos] but we save the deal no longer. [cheers and applause] as we discussed another critical element of our national security, to me, probably one of the reasons we are all here inre this great victory celebration is border security. we have many things to do, but we have already begun the construction of the wall and so many other things are following. we will have those borders extremely strong, extremely

powerful, and we will have laws that match the border. so if you think about it, the democrats, they are weak on borders, week on our military. we have, in the last deal, i had to do it, the military was depleted. when did we need a military more than we need great military right now? we got to $700 billion to rebuid our military. it will be stronger than ever before. so the democrats, they fight against the borders. they fight to raise your taxes. they want to raise your taxes. they fight for all of the things

that we don't stand for. and we are going to have a great victory in '18. you watch. we are going to have a great victory. history shows that when you win the presidency, two years later, the party, for whatever reason, like, 90% of the time, the party that wins the presidency, it loses on the midterms. and the reason is, i guess they get a little bit complacent. we are not getting complacent, folks, we can't. if we elect more republicans, we can truly deliver for all of our ns gzens. we're going to keep the promises anyway, o whether we do or whetr we don't. i'm going to keep that.

we have delivered and we are set by one of a gentleman, we have delivered one of the only times ever, more than we promised. i have delivered more than i promised if you think about it. we will lift millions of americans from welfare to work, from dependence to independence, and from poverty to prosperity. we will put new steel into the spine of our country. and by the way, it will now be american-made steel. [cheers and applause] and we will breathe new hope into our community. we will do it all with american hands, american grit, and american pride. loyal citizens like you help to build this country and together, we are taking back our great and

beautiful country. returning power to everyday american people. these are the greatest of all people. [cheers and applause] in every action, with every decision, we will stand up for americans, and we will stand up for the great state of indiana. [cheers and applause] this is the state where generations of american patriots and pioneers plow to the fields, carved the wilderness, and worked the factories of the great american midwest. no place like it.

it's the state that both notre dame football, hoosier basketball, and the legendary indy 500. with your help this november, indiana will inspire our country again. no dream is beyond our reach. our ancestors. braved the oceans. they tamed the frontiers, put down the railroads, those beautiful railroads, built up the highways, and dug out the great panama canal. we are the nation that won two world wars. and we are the nation that defeated communism and fascism and landed a man on the face of the moon.

and always remember, we have picked up and wealth trillions and trillions of dollars for our country since our election -- not my election -- our election. and our economy, people forget, our economy -- our -- economy s almost twice the size of any other economy of any other nation in the world. remember that. people forget. people forget. people forget. we are not going to let them forget. as long as we are proud of who

we are, and what we're fighting for, we will never, ever fail. with your help, your voice, and with your vote, we will win. we will achieve victory for our country, victory for our children, and victory for this magnificent land that we all love because we are americans and our hearts bleed red, white, and blue. we will never given. we will never, ever give up. and we will never stop fighting for our country, our freedom, and our flag.

we are one people, we are one family, and we are one nation under god! [cheers and applause] and together, we will make america a wealthy again, we will make america strong again, we will make america safe again, and we will make america great again. thank you, indiana, we love you. thank you. god bless you. thank you. [cheers and applause] t >> tucker: president trump of course baking at a rally in elkhart, indiana. what a little over an hour. author and columnist mark steyn watched the whole thing and he joins us now with reaction. what'd you think, mark? >> i think it was pretty darn

good. the president has essentially invented a new kind of form here, the way fdr did with his fireside chats on the radio. and it works for him. this is how i first saw him on stage, basically ripping on the days news. he's got a little bit more since then. but since then, he's gone back to what he's doing in his campaign days, he is comfortable in the job, he is comfortable with himself, and he's doing all republicans and all conservatives a service, and this is something that marco and jeb and john kasich and all the rest can learn from him, is he's not being boxed in by democratic media causes of discourse. he's basically found a way to get out what he wants to get out, and it works for him really well. by the way, the stuff about the london embassy was a classic --

i don't believe that was on the prompter,nd and it was a classic riff -- i want to make sure i get these words right. he described the g u.s. embassys "the best location and the whole portfolio." i love the way he talks about united states embassies as a portfolio, like trump tower and trump resort and all the rest of it. >> tucker: the state department doesn't use that officially. [laughs] is a great way too talk about i. i get the sense watching him speak and talking to the people who work for him, that he gets a lot out of these because it helps engage the interest levelu in certain policies. > yes, i think that's true. it's interesting to me, the biggest applause as always for the wall. if you noticed the last time he did one of these a couple of weeks ago, he started to go on, i think it was about h1b or h2b visas, a little confused on the point, and the crowd actually wasn't so enthused about that.

i noticed that those lines have gone missing. and this is really what the media in particular don't get about president trump. they are very hung up on literalism. he is actually, , and a sense, he's playing a stage character. when they get annoyed about things -- for example, he said tonight, mike pence, he's doing an unbelievable job, which kind of reminded me about what chuck schumer got mad at him for saying s about kim jong un. and i can imagine in singapore, trump is putting his arm around him and saying, hey, rocket man, you are doing an unbelievable job. you look fabulous, lose some weight, terrific. it's like, you know, the media are bone crushingly literal about this. he is like aly great actor or a great singer. he is playing the subtext, not just merely the dialogue on the surface. andrf he would think these moroc celebrity critics of his foot

figure that out. why is alec baldwin's impersonation of trump such a big nothing? it is because trump is playing trump better than a brilliant actor plays in. he's playing the subtext. int. that -- not to go all actos studio on you, that is what alec baldwin does when he does his hilarious tony bennett impression. he's playing the subtext. but he can't get to be on the politics that he can't get to be on the service lingo when he does trump. trump is a genius like this, and that is what all these crowds get. even when the words appear to be saying something miles, they get what he's really saying. if there was political staff college, they'd be teaching these things in 20 or 50 years. >> tucker: may be what he is saying most of all, i care about you, i am interested in what you have to say, and people want to

hear that more than anything. absolutely. what is interesting to me is when you leave these rallies, it is not just with people are laughing and people are mouthing along with the slogans, but you also see people with tears running welling up in his eyes because it is so unlike the pathetic, consultant driven, poll tested, phony baloney of conventional presidential campaigning. >> tucker: interesting. mark steyn, always great to see you. thank you. >> thanks a lot, tucker. >> tucker: democrats are upset about speeches like that and the trump presidency itself, of course. but for more than a year they have been sold themselves by looking ahead to the midterms, the 2018 congressional elections, and they have thought toug themselves, we will win bed, take back power, and meme. recent polls show the democrats' once massive lead is now shrinking almost to nothing. a new poll at cnn show theav democrats have a three-point

advantage on a generic congressional ballot. is this real? what does it mean? tom bevan, cofounder of realclearpolitics, follows this stuff closely for a living. he joins us tonight. what is this about, tom? is it real? >> i i definitely think it's re. you go back and look at by december, the democratic lead in the generic ballot, that is them question, of the elections were held today, would you vote democrat or republican? democrats have a 13-point lead. as of today, it's down to six in the realclearpolitics average. the cnn poll went from 16-point lead for democrats two months go down to three. another poll showing it down to one point. that is real. it is just, as a point of reference, in 2006, when democrats won 30 seats, they finished with a 7.9 percentage lead in the generic ballot. so they are at six now and they about 24 seats. i think they are in that range where it is making them very, very nervous. >> tucker: republicans in

congress have been assuming for months, i've talked to them, they will lose big, and that nancy pelosi or whoever will be the speaker. now they thinknk they have a sh, they are concerned about intensity, voter intensity on the leftco is really, really strong. how meaningful is that, intensity? >> oh, it's meaningful, particularly in amine to midterm election where it's all about turning at the base. democrats have had success in that previous cnn poll was disturbing for democrats. they show that republican intensity was often matching the level of democrats. if that is the case, it is not at all a sure bet that democrats wouldwo take back the house in november. >> tucker: it's all a little confusing. trump's personal approval numbers are confusing given that the stormy daniels a story, the single most and story ever covered by the american news media, we both agree on that, hs dominated the coverage for thege past three or four weeks, months, i don't know how long it has been. that has not had an effect. >> no, in fact, just the opposite, tucker. back in mid-december, trumps low

point in the realclearpoliticsic job approval rating, average was 37. he is now at 44.3. he's gained six, 6.5 points over the course of that period, and as you mentioned, the entire time, it has been the stormy daniels onslaught. not only has it not hurt as numbers, they have been taking upwards the entire time. s that is something, you see democrats, they are now somewhat annoyed byo this because you thought that nancy pelosi and others, they say, this is distracting from our message, they want to try to get back to reaching voters, and voters have actually tuned that up now and are paying attention to the other stuff, which trump was at a pretty good few weeks. >> tucker: amazing. their message. we don't have time for you to tell me what that is. [laughs] i appreciate it, tom. thank you. >> you bet. >> tucker: uterus are the numbers on the upcoming midterm election are interesting. democrats are still ahead but not nearly as popular as they were six months ago. that is weird. the president is still disliked

by half the country. congressional republicans in the polling are even less admired than he is. democratss ought to be way ahea, as you just turn, they are not. why is that? could it be, that for all the problems with the republican party, andli those problems are real,de democrats are even less appealing? it looks that way. the question is why. we have some theories. we could show you a million examples to illustrate this. here's one from just yesterday that came immediately to mind. watch as this msnbc panel, as close to a democratic party focus group as you whatever c, kirk gushes over the porn lawyer, who was always on televisions. >> michael avenatti is a beast. he keeps getting all of them. jon meacham says he may be the savior of the republic. >> he killed the news in one big stroke. he really is a master of the media cycle.

>> i owe michael avenatti a written apology. for the last couple of weeks, i've been saying, enough already, i've seen you, what do you have left is it? i was l wrong, brother. the democrats could learn something from you. you are messing up trump a lot more than they are. >> tucker: left mike here is a political rule of thumb. if the creepy porn lawyer is "the savior of the republic" in yourvi view, you're probably not trying very hard to appeal to middle america. they have doubled down on every behavior that got trump elected in the first place.um they routinely vilified tens of millions of americans based on how they look great they prefer illegal immigrants to u.s. citizens. at this point, they don't even hide that preference. in schools and sports, the military, they denounced the idea of biological differences between men and women, something that every culture from ancient egypt till about 20 minutes ago understood perfectly well for this -- they don't recognize it anymore. two nights ago, "the new york times" criticized the secretary of state mike pompeo and a trip to north korea, they ran the headline, "at a key moment,

trumps top diplomat is again thousands of miles away" like it was a sin. the purpose of his visit was to secure the release of three american prisoners. pompeo works for trumps of the whole thing must be bad. whatever else he has done, he's driven the democratic party off the deep end. they hate him and the country that elected him and it starting to show in the polls. a the president of new heights communication who's been in and around the democratic party for a long time joins us tonight. so you heard of tom bevan say, they are mad that their messages isn't getting out. the truth is, there message is trump is bad. that is not really a message. that is more of an animal reaction. >> whatever the messages, it's working. if you look at the congressional and state level elections that have happened since november 2016, democrats have flipped 40 plus seats at the state legislativee level. often in districts eric trump won by 20 or 30 points. so we can quibble about what the

messages but we can't really quibble about whether it's working because it seems to be. >> tucker: of course to some extent, trump is still loath bya half the population, his first midterm, so historically, they will pick up heat. but where's the wave? if you listen to what the messages, one of the message is, for example, there are no distances between the sexes, biological reality is fake. that is way more radical than anything trump is ever said. >> i would suggest that -- democrats are being reasonable. >> tucker: would it be possible for a democrat running for office and the democratic primary to say there are two biological sexes, that is what our biology is? >> i would say, talk about the economy. >> tucker: are you joking? they are pushing all these changes on the rest of us including the bathroom thing. >> whoa. as republicans are doing the

bathroom thing. north carolina, that was a entirely republican thing. >> tucker: no one ever thought there were more than two sexes until 20 minutes ago. maybe biology isn't real but that's not a mainstream position. does not help? >> i would say if you want to make the argument to me that democrats should or should not be talking about impeachment, shoulde or should not be spendig time on stormy daniels and michael avenatti, we can have a conversation. but there is no mainstream democratic candidate who is talking about, as you said, biology -- >> tucker: really? i'm serious. reordering society is a big deal. pretending biology is fake is, too. you could have a democratic candidate that says there are biological sexes. >> i don't think that they have been is what i am saying. if you look back to the ways that democrats have been performing up to this point, whatever it is they are doing, it's working. there is far more energy, more

small dollar donations, leads into more volunteers, leads to a better slate of candidates. >> tucker: a d lot of this is true. i think you a are right. more energy and more money. i'm waiting for the wave. we'll see. i hope you'll come back election night. >> thank you. >> tucker: robert mueller has bitten off a lot. can he chew it is the question? the russian interference narrative is actually headed to court. he may not like that. that story is next. ♪
