to the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. have a great night, and of course, stay tuned for the great sean hannity from new york city. sean?re >> sean: tucker, by the way, thanks. you are not taking my time from me. i have to go through this past because the president is about to take my time. >> tucker: yes you do. >> sean: all right my friend, good show. it is a fox news alert. huge "make america great" rally is about to start in the great state of montana. president trump expected to takt the stage very soon, we will bring you live coverage of a speech in a few minutes. first, we have so much critical breaking news tof cover. we start with our breaking news opening monologue. ♪ a lot of news tonight, i do want to get it in, our top story something that trump will likely confront tonight head-on at his rally. yesterday, an anonymous figure claiming to be a senioril officl in the trump administration daauthoring an op-ed in "the new york times" bashing the president and his agenda andnd telling lies.

the deep state, unelected washington bureaucrat, actually thinks he or she knows more than you. they know more about who should be president. your vote to them means nothing. we are smelly, walmart, irredeemable deplorables to them. all the while, this anonymous figure hides behind the liberal "new york times". they are complicit in this. now "the washington post," get this, reporting that sleeper cells have awoken inside the executive branch of the united states of america. think about that. a sleeper cell. a senior official who might have access to top-secret classified information, who might have the privileged insider knowledge about sources and methods. that is people's lives. now actively working within our government against your w commander in chief. the media won't say this, i will.in this is extraordinarily dangerous to this great constitutional republic.

the disgusting "hate trump" media, they are complicit in this cowardly betrayal. moments ago, president trump tweeted the following, "are the investigative so-called journalist of "the new york times," are they going to investigate themselves? who is the anonymous letter writer?" of course, this coward could be one of literally hundreds of senior level employees in the executive branch. we know that trump's senior cabinet members and closest advisors are vehemently denying writing this op-ed.mp tonight, we are calling whoever you are, come forward. you have purposely mischaracterized the president's conservative policies in your op-ed. in other words, you are lying about his effective handling of the economy, north korea, his tough approach toward russia. you obviously have your own agenda, your own political personal bias. you are an unelected, unaccountable, anonymous official. the american people did not hire you to do this.

you have access perhaps to intelligence, methods. you have knowledge of the president's plans to defendu america? if so, are you going to try to undermine that? it is the right thing to do. if you really care about the country as you so claim to do as a super patriot, come forward. this country's safety is obviously not the goal of whoever this mysterious figure is. nor does the corrupt media in country even care.f what would happen ifr resistant sleeper cells had emerged in obama's white house? h would the media be all in on that? this is all political. working in the shadows, undermining aa sitting, duly-elected president from within. these are the actions of a deep state super patriot who thinks they know better than you, we, us, we the people. these are actions of someone whn thinks that trump never deserved to be president. that we, we were all wrong. these are the actions of someone who cares, what, about democracy

and the sanctity of your vote? no. and what does the op-ed author mean when they write "until one way or another it is over," meaning the trump presidency. is that a threat? to the president of the united states, "one way or another"? what does that mean? because that can be interpreted as a threat to the president. i hope the secret service is looking. sooner or later, whoever you are, you will be gone, and by gone i mean caught, exposed, fired, and probably held accountable for these horrible deeds, whatever you have done. now we turn to another top story. this is huge news tonight. breaking only minutes ago, "the hill"'s john solomon reporting that christopher steele's t phoy russian dossier was the basis for the ongoing witch hunt into trump-russia so-called collusion

after it was pushed by several high-ranking deep state officials who all shared one thing in common, apolitical hatred for donald trump. solomon writes, quote, there is now growing evidence that the fbi's sudden pivot from papadopoulos to steele was driven by officials with serious political baggage. we are talking about andrew mccabe, page, strzok, and, of course, christopher steele. all trump haters. we learned that he wask, actualy attempting to steer the fbi so-called russia collusion investigation toward the phony steele dossier, much earlier than we previously thought. several officials, all with serious political baggage, as he describes them, remember this is the dossier -- with this will all be traced back to b hillary. many of the same figuresr protected her so she could stay in the race by exonerating her after she obviously committed felonies and crimes, and of course, the dnc, clinton, funded this phony, russian steele dossier.

they funneled that money to a law firm, that money then goes to fusion gps, they hire a foreign national, a spy,ne christopher steele, and by the way, the wife of the fourth highest ranking member of the doj, nellie ohr, you put it altogether, op research, unverified lies against donald trump. nobody verified this information, nobody. even steele said under oath, thl contents were raw intelligence. he did not stand by his own dossier. but it gets worse -- the o dossr is leaked to the press. why? to influence you, the american people, with russian lies. worse than that, it spread throughout the highest levels of our federal government. by nellie ohr's husband, bruce or, again, the fourth highest ranking official of the doj. then it was used as the very basis for fisa warrants against the trump campaign associate, carter page. i am told they withheld exculpatory evidence. that is the very basis for what is now mueller's witch hunt.

this is amazing, it starts with hillary, the dnc, they pay for it and get the money -- funneled money to an op research group. then they hire christopher steele, and that of course, it is being used to get fisa warrants, but it is also being funneled to mueller's pit bull, as described by "the new york times." andrew weissmann. the contents of the dossier he has updated through bruce ohr. 70 contacts, ohr and steele have together. hillary to steele all the way to bob mueller's office, you cannot make this up. it is insane. a web of corruption and abuse of power surrounding a foreign actor, a phony russian dossier in an effort to stop this man from becoming president, and then destroy him after he did. we did tonight reach out to all of the deep state actors in the report, but tonight we do have positive elements to report. we have 12 republican lawmakers now calling on president trump to declassify the retracted

parts of multiple fisa documents, specifically pages ten through 12, 17 to 34. that could be released as early as tomorrow or next week. lawmakers now believe this retracted information, along with 302's, the gang of eight, can explain and might have exculpatory evidence on carter page and other information from the steele dossier, how a fraud was committed on the court, and how an attempt to sabotage a sitting president. we will have more on this tonight. also, more positive fisa developments. one former official who signed off on a fisa request against page, we now know is subject of a grand jury investigation. that is called progress. finally. former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe fired for lying and he may face serious legal issues. this grand jury that we have confirmed is convened, we will look at everyone who committed a fraud on the fisa court, who

signed off on the unverified, uncorroborated, phony, russian, clinton paid for dossier. and the lies by omission like not telling the court, even though they knew it, that hillary paid for it all. andrew mccabe's attorney responding to it, brushing it off. nothing more than the standard procedure. we all know better. this is why elections matter. if elected, 61 days, democrats, they will obstruct the president's efforts to drain the swamp. just like they are trying in vain to obstruct the nomination of judge kavanaugh, and today new jersey senator, likely presidential hopeful cory booke cory booker, threatening to leae confidential documents about kavanaugh to the general public. our own shannon bream and others reporting, however, the documents had previously been released. not only that, cory booker was told they were released. so still he had to put on a show based on what he already knew was released for his adoring

fans because he is running for president. i don't have time to run it now, but then he went on to call his actions today "a spartacus moment." even though he did zero, nothing courageous. he broke no rules, faced no consequences, just a blatant play to his base, just so he can run for president in 2020. but in his mind, he rose to a level of a roman gladiator for a cause, calling himself a hero for doing absolutely nothing. like colin kaepernick going going 1-11. of course, the nfl is unfair to me. the president is walking on stage, let's talk first and we'll get to the president's speech. tell us about your report. >> in the summer, july 30th, the day before the fbi and opened the investigation on the trump campaign, bruce ohr, nellie ohr, christopher steele meet at a restaurant. soon as they get out, they compare their notes on what steele says he has on trump, he calls andy mccabe, meets with

andy mccabe a few days later, and by the 15th he is meeting with peter strzok. remember, all of them have an issue with trump or clinton, there is no doubt about it. we thought the steele dossier had gone into normal channels.ug we now know that ohr reeled it in. something has been withheld from congress a long time. >> sean: what about the fact that they gave us information ta robert mueller's office? steele writing ohr and all of the messages back and m forth. did you get it to your friend? oh, we do not want to be exposed. oh, we hope the firewalls hold. >> i was going to say, hope of the firewalls hold, they did not hold, and they were panicking about that. look what happened with andrew weissmann.an we know for a fact that a ohr was in communication with weissmann. he was basically passing information or trying to pass information to robert mueller's office. i think the investigation, b the scope of this investigation is t going to get so much wider. now that mccabe is under a

grand jury investigation, imagine what they are going to find.h we have spent years juston tryig to peel back the layers of this onion, and now we finally discover all of these connections and all of these players. going back to john's story, ite is so vitally important the timeline because nellie ohr, she was working early on for fusion gps.li >> sean: let's get a quick comment -- by the way, greg, sarah, and john are with us for the hour. we will dip into the president's speech. right now he goes to the podium, a long ovation for the president obviously. >> president trump: hello, montana. this is going to be a lot of fun.nt thank you. [applause] there is no place like a rosendale rally. forget trump, rosendale. but there is no place like a trump rally, right? we have a good time. we have a good time.

and in the election, we won the state by a lot. that was not close. but i am thrilled to be back in big sky country with so many of my great friends and true american patriots. thank you. [applause] from the rocky mountains to the great plains, the people of montana love our country. love our country so much. they honor our values, and you always respect our great american flag. you see what is happening. this is an incredible time for our nation. we have the best economy in history. the stock market is at record highs. unemployment is at historic lows. and more americans are working today than ever, ever,r, ever before.

[applause] that's a great stat, isn't it? think of it. more americans today -- and it grows every week. every week it gets higher and higher. but more americans are working today and have g ever worked before in our country. it is a great stat. that is a big stat. our coal miners are back to work. and we are fighting every day for our great ranchers and loggers and farmers, and we are winning that fight, and we are winning it quickly. we are rebuilding our military,, crushing the terrorists, and taking care of our veterans. [applause] america is winning again, and america is being respected

again. as you all saw this week, the senate is now considering a truly exceptional nominee for the united states supreme court, judge brett kavanaugh. ju[applause] and he is doing really well. but do you believe the anger and the meanness on the other side? [boos] it is sick. the whole country is now seeing his amazing intellect and his brilliant legal mind. judge kavanaugh deserves overwhelming bipartisan supportl and i think he is going to be one of our truly great to supreme court justices. so tonight, we are joined by

truly terrific republican leaders from the great state of montana, including a friend of mine, and incredible senator, somebody who works so hard, and i can tell you -- i don't want to embarrass him -- but i'm going to tell you, he loves you. senator steve daines. thank you, steve, great job. steve is a worker. he does an incredible job. you also have a great attorney general, who i've gotten to know over the years, tim fox, doing a fantastic job. thank you, tim. thanks, tim. your secretary of state, cory stapleton.

cory. thanks, cory. state superintendent of public instruction, and he is just, i mean, and this is a fantastic person. elsie arntzen. elsie, thank you. thank you, elsie, great job. she has done some job. i have her in about you, your reputation. thank you very much. and your outstanding montana g.o.p. chairwoman, debra lam. so debra, how are we doing now compared to election day almost two years ago? can you believe it? how are we doing? better, even? better, good. that is what we are doing in most states.ev and the states that we won, we

are doing better. thank you, thanks, great job. i am also thrilled to be joined by montana's terrific member of congress, a true champion for montana. i will tell you what, this man has fought in more ways than one for your sake. he has fought for this state. greg gianforte. he is a fighter and a winner. he's a winner. he loves your state, thank you very much. great job. everybody has to get out and vote for greg and vote for people that are going to vote for us because without that, you are going to lose a lot of the things that we have won over the last two years. you will lose them, and you will lose them fast. can't let that y happen.

but i'm here for a very specific reason. please welcome the person that we have such respect for, he is now leading in the polls. [applause] but i do not want to say that. i want to say he is just a little bit, like 1 or 2 points behind, is that okay, matt, for me to say that? he is somebody who is going to be a phenomenal united states senator from montana, matt rosendale. matt, come on up. where is matt?n come on up, matt. come on up, matt.

>> welcome back to montana, mr. president. [applause] >> sean: as we get a break with the president speaking, we go back to sara carter and greg. wiyou've been following john's breaking news today on top of sara's news. on top of, it seems like, the unredacted room materials that everyone is requesting of the president, fisa warrants and 302's, other issues that could beue exculpatory, even if people like papadopoulos and paige, this all they be coming out either tomorrow or within days. talk about john's report and the reductions, freeing this information that congress has been seeking forever. >> congress deserves this information. they are legally entitled to it. it is under subpoena and the department of justice on the,

fbi have been obstructing justice and obstructing congress. the president can put a stop to it with a wave of his pen, four different sets of documents. i am told they will not only be exculpatory of the presidentnt himself, but they will be explosive in the level that the department of justice engaged in, they use false intelligence knowingly to target and frame donald trump. to launch this investigation of him, and to spy on the trump campaign with a fisa wiretap warrant. so the american people deserve to get to the bottom of this, and the only way is, sunshine is the best disinfectant. let americans read these documents. >> sean: john, you're breakingan news report, this is ahe profoud piece. i could pull it out here, you go

to the headline of your peace, the efforts to secretly reshape the trump probe started in 2016. now we know that ohr and steele are close. steele is funneling informationn to andrew weissmann. hillary clinton's rush and for wise make it to mueller's special counsel office, more importantly, bruce ohr is the conduit. 70 plus contacts with steele, meetings, text, written messages. >> and who does he bring to the meetings? the meetings where they are going to talk about wanting them to the fbi. he brings his wife. the conflict of interest is sitting at the table. >> sean: and lisa page and peter strzok and andrew mccabe. they are all trumpk, haters. soso now the question is this. is this the insurance policy? >> i think it is. here is the theory i have been hearing from people who know about this. they started the investigation of papadopoulos and got exculpatory information that papadopoulos was not what they thought it was. they should have shut it down. steele walks in the door and allows them to keep it open without getting in trouble. that is what we are going to learn when these documents get

unsealed. everything greg and sara have been saying, it will beev confirmed. >> sean: we have went out on a limb with all of you, so it has been a teamd. effort. but let me go to sara. the news we want to focus on -- not news, fake news. the grand jury is convened and witnesses are appearing before the grandt jury. this is about mccabe, but i believe it is also going to beri about sally gates, jim comey, and ron rosenstein. because they all signed the, phony fisa warrant. the phony russian lies withos grand omissions that they never verified, sara. >> and this is rosenstein's fisa. i say this over and over again because he signed the fourth fisa warrant, the fourth part of that warrant was that the renewal, the last renewal, on carter page. sean, he had all of the information of the previous fisas at his beck and call. he cannot make any excuses, he

put his signature on that. he cannot say "well, i let somebody else read it." no, this was your job. this was about a presidential campaign. this is an investigation into the president of the united states, ron rosenstein, it is your job to ensure that that fisa was solid. that that fisa abided by the law. and now what we know -- >> sean: wait a minute, if the grand jury is convened and witnesses are being heard and he signed the last fisa when we had all the information for sure, then was the bulk of information in the phony, clinton, steele, paid for dossier. if i'm rod rosenstein, i'm scared to death tonight. >> i would be scared to death, too. i think this is so important, and we have to go back. the fbi is investigating trump because apparently they believe that there was some kind of collusion with the russians. but the fbi had no problem putting russian lies into a fisa

warrant to spy on american citizen. back to the collusion -- the collusion does not appear to beo anywhere near president trump. it appears to be directly with the hired officials at the fbi. >> sean: real quick, what does that mean for rod, james, andrew? >> bruce ohr worked directly under rod rosenstein. bruce ohr says i knew it was hearsay. how could ron rosenstein --- >> sean: inadmissible. >> inadmissible and hearsay. uncorroborated. ron rosenstein, should he have>> the ability to sign a fisas going forward, we have to ask that question. >> sean: it is possible he doesn't, we don't know. >> i've been asking that question multiple days at the justice department. >> sean: back to thehe president. >> president trump: you are going to lose yourou second amendment. you are going to lose your right to those guns. you are going to lose your second amendment, so bee carefu. be careful.

and don't forget, going to vote with waters, pelosi, can you imagine? maxine waters is the new leader in the party? can you believe it? maxine waters. she is something. but he is going to vote for schumer. they are going to do whatever they say. i will say this. i will say this. one thing, their policies s are horrible. they are for open borders, meaning let all the crime come in. they are against so many things that you want. you know, i have been saying and i've been saying it strongly, they are going to take away, they are going to hurt your social security so badly, and they are killing you on medicare. just remember that. i'm going to protect yourng social security. we are going to take care of your social security. matt rosendale is going to make sure we are not touching your social security, and your medicare is only going one way,

that is stronger. they are going to end up takingg away from you and you will not even know what happened. on top of that, you are going to pay more in taxes. it is crazy. jon tester will never drainop te swamp because he happens to live in this swamp and he loves the swamp. jon tester -- i feel a little guilty because he did run the most beautiful commercial. i heard yesterday, it started, and he is like my best friend. president trump this, president trump that. it is amazing when you win a state by a lot of points, how even democrats can like you. isn't that crazy? with the problem is he is never going to vote for me. he is not going to vote. but he is taking more cash from lobbyists than almost anyone in the entire senate. he is controlled by his donors. one of the saddest things i have seen is when jon tester and what

he did to a great, great man. admiral ronny jackson. [boos] admiral jackson was subjected to horrible lies and smears. i am a victim of that, too, but i'm sort of getting used to it. [laughter] at least it is my job. i am a politician, i never thought i was going to say i am a politician, can you believe -- i guess i'm a politician. you know? i guess i'm a politician. think of it. i did not want to say that. one of the few times i've said it. yeah, i'm a politician. but you know, i am only run once, and that was for president. and i won. how did that happen? isn't that nice? i won once.

a lot of people have spent their lives trying to be president. we know them all. some we respect and some we don't respect too much. but ronny jackson is a doctor, he is in admiral, he is actually the doctor that gave me my physical. and he said that i am in great shape. and the democrats, liberals, deep state, they were very upset to hear that. so they got tougher and tougher and they lied more and they write more books now. i never saw -- i have books stacked up this high. actually, the ones that are really good, our number 1, 2, and 3 on the bestsellerses list. the really good ones, by justice -- i call it justice, but she is justice to me,al jeanine. we love her. judge jeanine, by gregg jarrett.

how about von gino, he has a very successful book. how about longino? so many, and they are all doing great. and that is what makes me happy. but the media does not talk about those books.al the only talk about the bad ones, of which there are plenty. they are lies, but they are plenty. but admiral jackson, his reputation was attacked, and all of those horrible things that were said about him turned out to be lies and they turned out to be false. remember? people don't want to say that. in the last election, washington democrats put it jon tester in charge of electing extreme liberals. i mean, i am talking about a serious liberals. many of whom you are watching attack judge kavanaugh and looking like fools, frankly. looking like fools.

[applause] and one of them will most likely be a candidate to run against your favorite of all time president, me. me. [applause]im but when i see the anger in their eyes, what i see the anger of what they say, to intellect far greater than there, not even a contest, but i see the anger and hatred -- what are they doing? what are they doing? they are losing by doing it. they are losing by doing it. i just want to finish off what tester did to admiral jackson should never, ever be allowed. ronny jackson is a great t man. ronny jackson has led a great

and beautiful life. and to have lies told about him, i would never repeat what they are. in my case, they repeat them. i say "don't repeat them, they are terrible." they say no, we are going to deny them. do we love sean hannity, by the way? [applause] i love him. but he is the only one. he puts up all these losers that say horrible things. i have to talk to him. one after another. "donald trump, he has lost it up here." it is pretty tough. i stand up here giving speeches for an hour and a half, many times without notes, and then they say he has lost it, and yet we have 25,000 people showing up to speeches. and by the way, look at all the fake news back there. [boos]

donald trump, they go donald trump -- you know, it is really funny. so i beat 17 great republicans. i mean, senators, i beat governors, people like ben carson. i beat a lot of great people -- ben carson was tough. but i beat 17 great people, and i respectfully say i beat the bush dynasty. okay. pretty recently. okay, now i have the privilege of going against crooked hillary clinton. [boos] so i beat crooked hillary. [applause]

i beat crooked hillary, and the electoral college is hard. it is, frankly, if we did not know better, maybe we are starting to find things out that we did not know, it is hard. and harder to win.d. the popular vote, you go to 3 or 4 states, boom, boom. it is like the 100-yard dash versus running the mile. you practice differently. she forgot that. she forgot to go to a couple of important states.e "gee, i do not think i'm going to go to michigan." i do nothing i'm going to go to wisconsin, she said. i do hear her husband said, "you know, you better go to michigan, you better start going to wisconsin." fortunately, she did not listen to that. but think of it, so i beat the republicans, governors senators. i beat the bush dynasty. respectfully. i beat hillary who stole it from bernie.

bernie should have one mind, but that is okay. superdelegates, how do you like superdelegates?ie which he has superdelegates that were handed to her. bernie should be angry. why isn't he angry? crazy bernie. he is so crazy, but you know what, i saw him the other day on television and he is ranting and raving, he is sitting behind a microphone. "i'm going to do this," the hair is flying, is going crazy. he's going crazy. and i said to my wife "honey, look at that guy." you have to hand it to him. no, you have to hand it to him " pure he does not quit, he does not give up. i just do not know why he allow that to happen. and he goes back to being an independent. but now he's coming back in. and i guess he is going to run. he is going to run.en but think of it. so you beat two dynasties. you beat all of these politicians. charles krauthammer, when i announced that i was going to run. [applause]

he said "why would he run"? he did not know me, so i'm not offended. he said "this is the finest field of republicans ever assembled." i actually did, i looked at my wife, and i said "you know, that is hisis business." he just said these are the finest ever assembled, why am i doing this? and then i said that is okay,, i will do it anyway. let's see what happens. so i beat all of these senators, all of these governors, all of these brilliant political minds. then i beat the other side. and then i listen. is he competent? i think i'm pretty competent, right? don't you think? [applause] is he competent? and their ratings are down the tubes. you know why? because people get it, they really get it. but it is funny to hear that you have all of these victories --e

you know what, more important than those victories, we are winning in the united states now. we are winning on trade, we are winning with our military, we are knocking the hell out of the terrorists. we are winning now in the united states. we look at what is going on, we have new deals being made. we have a deal we just made with mexico that is a fair deal. it is not that horrendous deal that was made years ago that should have been changed years ago. we negotiated with canada, we will see what happens. we are in a little bit of a skirmish, but doing really well with china. you see what is going on. really well. i have great respect for president xi of china. but honestly, we have to be treated fairly. last year we had a trade deficit of anywhere from 375 billion

with a b dollars two i say $504 billion. either one is not acceptable. we are doing that and is working out really well. i just came on stage and i was told that kim jong un said some terrific things about me. he said i have faith in president trump. think of this. you don't hear that. [applause] and just moments ago they put os that he said very strongly thatn we want to denuclearize north korea during president trump's tenure. that is the nicest -- it just said it, just set it. in the meantime, even if he didn't, even if he didn't, s we have our hostages back. there has been no more missile testing. there has been no more rockets flying over japan. there has been no more nuclear testing. and we have a good feeling. he likes me, i like him, who

knows what is going to happen. but i can tell you why, the dayy before i took office, and w even -- i must say, because, as you know, the rhetoric was fairly tough. it is interesting. with him i had very tough rhetoric. and the fake news said "it is too tough! he is going to get us into the war! it is terrible, he is being too tough, it is horrible, what does he know about this, he knows nothing." i watched all of these guys who had been losing for 30 years explaining why my method of negotiation wasn't working. [applause] right? and i will tell you why. i respect him, he respects me, and i think something is going to happen. take your time. i say we take -- sanctions are on, but think about it, we got back our hostages. i did not pay $1.8 billion, we got back our hostages.

nothing, we paid nothing. but it's funny, youe know, because other than nato because they got them to pay billions and billions of dollars more because we are paying for nato. we are paying thisis massive percentage. we are protecting europe. i got them to pay billion of dollars more, and the fake news said "he was not respectful to the leaders of other countries." and they are right, in a way, because i said "listen folks, you have to pay out." you are delinquent. in real estate we say "you are delinquent." and somebody asked me, it is really amazing they never covered this because if they did, this is terrible, one of the leaders in front of the other 28 nations, one of the leaders why get along with, they iorespect us now -- for years, nato spending was going like this. by the way, this is spending to protect them against russia.

they keep talking about russia. we are protecting -- paying billions of dollars more, okay? they said "sir, could we ask you one question?" it is always nice when a president or prime minister calls you sir.sk p that means it is a certain respect. "if you do not walk away from these meetings with us paying or much more, will you leave us? i said yes i will. and they all said -- [applause] and they all said "we will pay, we will pay." now, the mainstream media does not want me to say that. they want me to say "no, no, sir, we will never leave you." but then there is no reason for them to pay,ay right? supposedly they asked me the same question. we are talking about -- last

year, secretary stoltenberg, secretary general, head of nato, he is like my biggest fan. and i like him, too. but he goes around saying last year -- that is when i just, i was only an office for about 14 seconds, so i did not want to use too much bravado. you know much i paid extra? $44 billion. that was last year. this year it is much because now i feel comfortable. i asked him anymore for manner. and they are paying, and they should pay. but they were saying that i did not treat them well. if i would've done what they said or if i would have done with these consultants or theseo people that i watch on television we used to do the stuff, they failed miserably. we have our own way, it is a great way, but it is really interesting because when i was dealing with north korea, they were saying "he is too tough, he is too tough." one of my best meetings ever was

with vladimir putin, and they said "he was toos nice." they wanted me to have a boxing match on this stage. we had a great meeting. we talked about ukraine, we talked about syria. we talked about the protection of israel. we talked about so many great things. but they came back and they said "it was terrible." i said what was terrible, we had a great meeting? when i came off stage, they said that was a greatd meeting. then i got onto the plane and they said "sir, i don't think they liked it." i said "they liked it, they are just fake. they are fake news." we had a great meeting. it was a great meeting. and you know the funny thing, if i was tough "you're never going to do this again, there will be no more of this, no more of that" and stood him in the face and started boxing, you know

what would've happened? they would have said "he's too tough, that was a disgrace to our nation" here the truth is, with these people, you can't win come but we are winning. i am president, your president. we are winning. [applause] so everybody knows jon tester's game. he says one thing in montana but does the exact opposite in washington. that is what happens. he will come home and tell you about your second amendment and then he will vote for something where you are not the hell outut of it. he talks like he is from montanh but he votes like he is nancy pelosi. that is what hee does. look at his voting, it is the same voting as a schumer, nancy pelosi, and the legendary

maxine. jon tester voted no on tax cuts and he voted for the obamacare disaster, which we almost repealed and replaced, but we will get it done. and remember this, remember this, we got rid of the most unpopular element of obamacare, right? the individual mandate. we got rid of the individual mandate. that was the most unpopular -- and that is where you have thenp right to pay a fortune for the privilege of not having to pay a fortune for bad health care. right? it is incredible. but we got rid of it, we will get rid of all of it. and one thing i have to say, also, obamacare was going up 115%, 125%. 80%, 60%, 53%, all different places. it was going up massively. you know, we want to repeal and replace it and if we get enough

republicans we will and we will have a much better health care -- we have already come up with some,no association care, et cetera. [applause] but to do it, and we will do it, we had it, we had it done, we had it done. but remember, tester voted no. he voted no on kate's law. what could be better kate's lawn [boos] he voted no onaw enhanced vettig for refugees. let's just let them come right into montana, and you see what is going. and jon tester voted in favor of deadly sanctuary cities. [boos] so that is not a person from montana. i have a lot of friends in montana, i don't get it. how did he get elected? how did he get elected? jon tester voted for very

liberal obama judges. 99% of the time. and yet, he would o make it impossible for an incredible, distinguished admiral doctor not to get in. figure that one. and yet, super liberal judges, many of whom are mocked and scorned, and jon tester voted against our incredible supreme court justice neil gorsuch. how do you do that? how do you do that? first in his class at harvard. first in his classss at oxford. and he decides "i thinkt i will vote no." and by the way, justice gorsuch is great and is doing a fantastic job.or justice kavanagh will do the same thing.

it is embarrassing to watch those people make fools of themselves as they scream and shout at this great gentleman. the selection, you are not just voting for a candidate, you are voting for which party controls congress, very important thing. very important thing. i don't even bring it up because i view it as something, you know, they like to use the impeach word. maxine waters "we will impeach him." but he didn't do anything wrong. it doesn't matter, we will impeach him. but i say, how do you impeach somebody that is doing a great job and has not done anything wrong? our economy is good, how do you do it? how do you do it? how do you do it? we will impeach him! but he is doing a great job! doesn't matter. remember that line "he is doing a great job."

it is a hell of a place in washington. if that happens, every time a republican or a democrat opposite got elected president, so let's say a democrat gets elected someday, hopefully it is a long time. but let's say a democrat gets elected. and let's say we have a republican house. we will impeach that democrat, right? and then a republican. we won by a lot, we won by a hell of a margin. that is a lot, that electoral college, we won by a lot. okay, so we are in there, we have the best employment numbers in our history. we have the best economy and our history. you look at the numbers in every category, it is great. we are doing a great job, putting on phenomenal judges,rs and you take that, then what? you have a country that is going

to turn in to a third world country. because if the opposite party becomes president, every time before it even starts, before you have even found out whether or not he or she is going to do a great job, they will say "we want to impeach him!" and you will impeach him. it is so ridiculous. but we will worry about that, it never happens, but if it does happen it is your fault because you did not go out and vote. you did not go out to vote, that is the only way it can happen. i will be the only president in history that will say what a job he has done, by the way, we are impeaching him. today's democrat party held hostage by haters, absolute haters, left wing haters. angry mobs, deep state radicals and their fake news allies, those people are the best. they are the best allies. [boos]

i mean, you look at "the washington post" or "the new york times," i can never get a good story. i mean, you look at this horrible thing that took place today, is it subversion, is it treason? it is a horrible thing. you know the good thing about that, even liberals that hate me say that is terrible what they did. and it is really terrible. when i won the election, "the new york times," all of their subscribers are leaving, and when i am ultimately no longer president, and hopefully about 6 1/2 years from now. [applause] "the new york times" will go out of business. all of them will be out of business.us cnn will be out of business, they are almost out of business now if you look at their ratings. but they will be out of business. but "the new york times," you remember, it was very famous, no one has ever seen it before,

maybe never done before, they apologized for their bad coverage of me. they apologized to their subscribers because after i won, everybody said "what the hell happened? we are reading this piece of garbage and the guy that they kill every day, he won." so they wrote, does anybody remember, it was a very big story, they wrote an apology to their subscribers to stop the flow of people leaving and giving up their subscription to "the new york times." and it was quite amazing to watch. and you know, honestly, for two weeks they really covered me well. and then it began, and then it got worse and worse and worse,e, and now we have reached an all-time low. the level of hatred is quite great, but that is okay. n on the way over here, i saw a liberal pundit, he was filled with anger, and he was attacking

me and our great administration. we have great people. i will tell you, the white house is really working good. my wife put out a tweet today, did you see, she used to do this. she put out a tweet. they had me stomping around screaming with anger up in my area of the white house whereiti live with my wife and son, baron. they had me screaming, shouting like a lunatic. i had six people in my office, i was in the oval office, we are having a talk on trade, it actually happened to be trade with canada. they were telling me what is happening. and they said "sir, you are not up there screaming and ranting and raving. you're here talking." that is how dishonest it has become.an but i asked a young, bright staffer of mine, why are they so filled with this much hatred. why?

our country is thriving, and jobs are, prosperity is soaring, and the future has never looked brighter for the usa. and the young aide looked at mee and he said mr. president, these liberal pundits, the haters, they are so angry because you have upset their entire way of life. [applause] but i said, but let's get this straight, so the country is really doing well, and he looked at me and he said something that may be as true. i find it hard to believe. he said "sir, they just don't care." it's really pretty sad, right? when you look at what is happening, our military rebuilding, and everything that we are building is being made right here, the best missiles in the world, the best planes in the world, and the best ships in the world. it is all being made right here in the united states. the so-called resistance is

angry because their horrible ideas have been rejected by the american people and it r is driving them crazy. crazy. they are the ones, honestly, that have been driven crazy. the latest active resistance is the op-ed published in the failing "new york times" by an anonymous, gutless coward. nobody knows who the hell he is, or she, though they put he, but probably that is a disguise. but for the sake of our national security, "the new york times" should publish his name at once. i think the reporters should go and investigate who it is.ld that would be a good scoop.

unelected it deep state operatives who defied the voters to push their own secret agendas are trulyge a threat to democray itself. and i was so hard to know when. i think it has backfired. seriously. people that don't exactly dig us and they do not exactly like me, they are fighting for us. it is incredible. it is actually a beautiful thing. we picked up a lot of support because at some point this whole thing is going to be exposed. and it is really bad and it is really dangerous and it is really sad for the media and the mainstream media, it really is sad. when i told you about the good news coming out of korea today, they will hardly even reported. if this were president obama, that would be the biggest story and history of our country. but it is going to be sooner or later, it will be exposed.

the policies of our political opponents have brought about w only failure, destruction, and humiliation to our country. look at what happened. look at where we were, and look at where we are. [applause] and we have tremendous potential upward, and other countries, by the way, are not doing well at all. had i not won, we would have been in negative, we would not be at 4.2, we would have been in negative numbers. we were going down. we were low and we were headed down. we freed up this country with the regulations and the tax cuts, we freed up our country, and it is great to watch. [applause] but if you do not elect matt, i will tell you, they can change it very quickly. nancy pelosi said she wants to raise your taxes.

[boos] okay, tell me, is raising your taxes supposed to be a popular thing to do? because what is going on, they have been driven so far left, i don't know why they don't talklk about red waves. historically, the person that is president when you have the party having the president, they do not do well in midterms, but nobody has ever had, ever, an economy like we have. nobody has ever had this economy. so hopefully you are going to remember it. they robbed our middle class while spending trillions of dollars on adventures overseas. and we are pulling way back, but we still -- we are so respected now. you can pull back a little bit, but we are so respected, they are not playing games with us anymore, folks. they're not playing games. i don't want to tempt them too much by telling you things that don't happen anymore to us because there is no reason for

me to tell you, but when you see some of the things that happened for two years ago and six years ago and eight years ago, you take a look at what happened and you take a look at what happens now, where we took that horrible iran deal and we terminated it, and you look at what is going on. [applause] we are respected again as a nation. we are respected again as a nation. we are respected again as a nation. but these people enrich themselves while shipping our jobs to other countries, and they oversaw the greatest transfer of wealth in the history of the world. it's true. it's the greatest transfer. nafta was such a bad deal. some people said, oh please, would you extend that? i said, we have to renegotiate it, it's such a bad deal. when i was campaigning i said we will either terminate it or

renegotiate it, i don't care. but so far it looks like we could renegotiate it. but these disastrous policies were on the ballot box in 2016 and they lost, and they lost big. that's why we are here. in 2016, the american people voted to reject this corrupt globalism. they voted to reclaim their independence and their pride and they voted most importantly to make america great again. it's very simple. soon we would be changing it to keep america great. keep america great, soon. when should we do that, by the way? okay, wait a minute, soon we we're going to have to change because we are doing well. so when do we change make america great again to keep america great? i don't know. soon. soon. we are draining the swam
