excellent, i am greg gutfeld. [cheering] jesse: i am jesse watters and this is a fox news alert, president trump said to take the stage in green bay, wisconsin any moment now. but first, tragedy at a synagogue outside of san diego. a white 19-year-old gunman storming into the service on the final day of passover. killing one woman and injuring three others including a little girl. the suspect taken into custody, president trump addressing the shooting earlier today. >> my deepest sympathies go to the people that were affected, the families, their loved ones by the obviously looks like

based on my last conversation it looks like a hate crime. hard to believe, we will see what happens and what comes up. at this moment it looks like a b hate crime but my deepest sympathies to all of those affected. we will get to the bottom of it. it looks like the person was apprehended. jesse: marianne is in our west coast newsroom for the latest. >> officials confirming just a while ago that one person has died, a woman in the shooting at the synagogue and a suspect is in custody. they are calling the incident a hate crime say the community will come to the tragedy for patients were transported to the medical center and one of them has passed away. there is still two adult males in a curren little girl in stable

condition. it is unclear how many were inside of the synagogue at the shooting. but the san diego sheriff's department says at least 100 witnesses are being waited to interview. we're still hearing from the witnesses to hear whatwi happen. the 19-year-old white male suspect was engaged by an off-duty border patrol agent who thenside the synagogue at time and unfolded. the suspect was able to get h ay but a short time later he surrendered to a canine officer without incident. an ar type rifle was spotted in the suspect's vehicle. the shooting happened shortly before 1130 this morning as worshipers were beginning an all-day passover service which was scheduled to end tonight for the passover meal. jesse: marianne, fox has not been able to independently confirm the identity of the alleged shooter but some of the local news anchor stanley have nailed down, they think the identity, they say he has some nfs so he posted online last night and it looks like he was a

copycat guy. he talked a lot about the shooter in new zealand, the guy that targeted the mosque. what more do we know about the area in southern california that this happened? is this out of the blue there? >> yeah, if you take a look at some of the video we've been showing our viewers all day, it just looks like quite streets. one thing to point out, i talked about earlier there is a synagogue where the shooting happened in the next door there is a christian church, there are at least a couple of other houses of worship in the area. as well as a hebrew school attached to the synagogue. it was an area with plenty of houses of worship and someone was planning on carrying something like this out, we are

hoping to hear more of authorities mentioned the social media aspects, that is something that we have not been able to confirm that we are hoping when they talk to us, sometime, anytime that they might shed light on that as well. jesse: law enforcement looks like they're getting together to do a press conference right now and hopefully will update us with some of the new information. fox news has not been able to independently confirm the identity of the shooter although some local affiliates done in southern california have confirmed to their estimation who this guy is. again, he was inspired allegedly by the mosque shooter in new zealand and also the synagogue shooter in pittsburghan pennsylvania. again, we have not been able to confirm this but local reporting does suggest that he was a vicious anti-semite who did not support donald trump because donald trump supported israel.

that is what the localal affiliates have been reporting. fox has not been able to independently confirm that we will stay with the story as it develops. marion think very much. you jesse. jesse: police officer and law enforcement analyst vincent, vincent, i think you heard me say at the top of the manifesto how reliable are these manifestoes when we deal with these types of shootings? >> first i want to say i commend the border patrol agent that was there off-duty because they did exactly what they're supposed to do, protect and serve in this could've gone a lot worse had they not been there. but to the manifesto, if you think back to charleston, dylan roof, didn't report it so we cannot take these things lightly, and it goes back to the old saying, if you see something say something.

we cannot take them with a grain of salt, we have to act on this. unless manifesto went out an hour and half before the shooting. but i think there's plenty of time to stop what happened today. jesse: as you mentioned, i think there was an off-duty border patrol officer who happened to be inside the synagogue as this happened and allegedly chased the armed gunmen out of their, we heard reports he made fired a round into the suspect's vehicle, a high speed chase pursued and other law-enforcement were able to stop him on the freeway and apprehend him. he came out with a bulletproof vest, some of those reports suggested and he was taken into custody and now he is being in interrogated very aggressively. when you have a guy in custody this soon after a shooting like

this, what is going on inside the detention facility? >> you want to find out as much as you can, of course he is given the right to remain silent but if he passes out right and wants to talk and find out as much information as you can, was the acting alone, how long had he been planning this, where the red flags other than the alleged manifesto that we could've seen earlier, of searching went to search his house, his vehicle, social media, his computer, electronics maybe even phone records, keep in mind, this investigation is still early on, we think we have the bullet points of it that it was a hate crime in the sky is 19 years old but this is a very active investigation in order to get that. jesse: it looks like the local law enforcement of southern california are holding a press

conference. >> the synagogue and hallway. we are collecting evidence and we are aware of this manifesto which we are in the process of reviewing to determine the validity and authenticity. one person tragically died in the shooting in an update on the other victims, one has gone into surgery, one adult male is in stable condition at the hospital in the juvenile has been in steven stable condition and has been transported to the children's hospital. we are working with the police department and the fbi to determine the possiblee involvement in the arson at the mosque in new zealand about a month ago. and the police department are conducting additional patrols

throughout san diego county. as i stated before the anti-defamation league is offering counseling at the high school and there's also a crisis line that is available to anybody that needs or services that is 8872472 (#88)724-7240. we urge everyone to stay vigilant and report any unusual circumstances to 911 and i guarantee you they will be properly investigative and respond to. we are lucky in san diego county to have the kind of l cooperatin that we do. there's a few of the agencies that have been working on this case so far with the sears department, san diego fire, fbi, california highway patrol, escondido police department,

california office of emergency services, and the u.s. border patrol. also with me today is mayor steve voss of poway. in behind me scott peters. we would be happy to answer any questions that you have at this time. >> can you identify him again for us. >> his name is john ernest date of birth six, eight, 1989. he had no prior contact with law enforcement. an honorabl. [inaudible. question] >> some of the evidence we are reviewing right now and i cannot go into more detail than that. [inaudible question] >> as far as i can tell it's an

assault type rifle, ar-15 type rifle. i don't know specifics. [inaudible question] clearly it is being investigation as a homicide but also hate crime possible violation as well as several hundred federal violations as well. [inaudible question] he is being thoroughly interviewed by homicide detectives and fbi agents and wn honorable question i'm sorry questio?[inaudible question] we don't have any correlation with mr. ernest and white privacy groups. we have no record of police contact prior to today. [inaudible question] >> i am not aware of any.

[inaudible question] >> i cannot confirm that. [inaudible question] >> to this point no explosives in the synagogue. [inaudible question] yes. [inaudible question] as far as i know yes, that is correct. [inaudible question] no there is not. [inaudible question] no, the status of the witness, they are still at the rabbi's house behind the synagogue waiting to be contacted by fbi agents and deputy sheriff. an honorable question i would

refer that to the synagogue. i don't know what their media plans will be. as far, we will have extra patrols in the area as well as san diego police department around most of her house of worship in san diego county and hopefully nobody will try to copycat this tragic event that took place and poway today. [inaudible question] it is my understanding that the rabbi was one of the individuals rabbi was one of the individuals shooting. [inaudible question] well, as i stated before there was a border patrol officer off-duty at the synagogue and as ernst was leaving the facility he obtained a weapon and engaged

in gunfire and shot at turns. jesse: that was a sandy gail county sheriff delivering everything from the shooting in southern california the claim the life of one woman and injuring three others. he identified the gunman as john earnest, 19-year-old white male, clean record. also suspected they involve in a mosque birding that occurred about a month earlier in escondido california which is very interesting. they are looking to the manifesto. right now and we will bring you more as the story develops but we want to bring in fox nation host tommy laren, the host of the michael noel show, mike knowles, and joe. i will begin with you, it looks like there is a real pattern now if you look at the last year of

people targeting houses of worship. you've seen synagogue shootings, mosques attacks, easter attacks, all over the world. there is nothing you can really do to prevent that, you will not put armed guards all over the house of worship in the world. but what does it tell you of a pattern developing in terms of hate crimes and violence? >> it shows that a lone wolf knows what a soft target is. a synagogue is a soft target, a church is a soft target. we saw with dylan roof, we saw in california, new zealand, as you said there is no real way to protect these places unless you're going to put an arm guard and every place, that doesn't guarantee anything. as far as solutions, i honestly cannot tell you what they are, i don't like the fact that every time this happens we have to point to, does this person support this politician or that politician, when a shooter shot of the soft ballfield in

virginia, nobody should appointed to bernie sanders, same with donald trump with the sick individual facet bombs around to democratic lawmakers, former presidents, cnn nobody should appointed to donald trump trade the people to carry out these crimes, hideous acts they are to t blame. and let's not share this person's name, was not plaster his face all renews, it's irrelevant and only leads to confidence in these situations. jesse: it looks like a copycat situation because the guy allegedly, if you look at the manifesto was inspired by the synagogue shooting in pittsburgh in an also the new zealand attack assp well. and we mention did the manifesto, and people are scouring the manifesto to trying to link politicians or ideology too, we can only report that some of the local affiliates in southern california have started

to go through the manifesto, the guy is obviously a rabid anti-semite and he does not support donald trump because of his support for israel. but this is going to be pliticized, you know and i know it. >> i actually just finished reading the manifesto, certain facts become clear, the author spent in ornament, at times in the darkest recesses of the internet, the language, imagery, from those sorts ofs places. he is clearly a rabbi anti-semite, he despises president trump, conservatives because they don't conserve anything, on and on, this is white supremacist ideology. as we're seen it already happened, people will politicize us for their own agendas. they are going to use it to promote certain gun-control laws or other laws, other ways that they say could have prevented the shooting.

i think all of that is hypothetical and i don't see a lot of evidence of how this awful shooting could've been prevented. what we can do now is pray for the victims, pray for the woman who is killed and pray for the survivors. we can hope for a policy that might give us some justice moving forward, that justice is dealt swiftly in capital punishment will be swiftly to this awful murder and wee can regain justice for this awful tragedy. >> you mentioned capital punishment because tommy i recall covering a story just a couple months ago were then mayor of san francisco, the governor california gavin newsom got rid of capital punishment. through an executive action. after something like this it just seems like terrible timing. >> he put a moratorium on the death penalty although california voters actually voted

to speed up the process under process for execution so he went against the will. i am in los angeles and i am close to where this occurred right outside of san diego. my heart breaks for the community because i've been to the community and i know what a great community it is. but i also don't think we s s cn lose in the discussion the border patrol agent who stood up and we don't know if he returned fire or if he struck the getaway vehicle, what we could do to prevent these things, is not a lot we can do but if you look at it in the continuous incidents of soft targets you can see that they go there because they don't believe anyone is going to be-d armed and going to return fire. the fact that the border patrol agent had a firearm and was able to return fire and strike the getaway vehicle, that is one of the things i look at and say not only do i commend my border patrol agents but i look at somebody who had a carry holder and i look at it as a victory

for the second amendment even in california. jesse: tommy brings up the point, this will be politicizedt you will hear from people on both sides of the political spectrum talking about gun rights, gun control, but if you just look at the facts of the case, you have people with a gun, good guys they can deter backers. this seems like one of those examples. >> you can look at gun-control laws and say okay, let's say that we stop any gun from ever being sold in this country. there are still 300 million people, 300 million guns that are outha there and you will not start confiscating them because who knows what that would lead to. when you look at situations like this, you say, the most gun-control laws are on the books, could this crime have been prevented from happening, and in this case from what we are seeing, what we know now, that is not the case.

even if you had the gun-control laws that this still unfortunately would've happened because of sick people do six things and that is what happened hereed unfortunately. jesse: thoughts and prayers to all the victims in their families in southern california. we will continue to follow the story. but let's give it to the president giving a big campaign style speech in green bay, wisconsin on the same night as the white house correspondents dinner, counter programming, he did it last year end is doing it again thisas year. i believe he's coming up shortly, what you expect from the president tonight? >> president trump is a greater show in politics, a group. jesse: all right. there we see the president coming out right now to a crowd about ten to 15000 people in green bay, wisconsin, as we said before the president hoping ther

the third year in a row he is not attending and says he will be with his people and supporters and basically tell it how it is. i expect to hear a lot about the no collusion, no obstruction, the first quarter growth at three-point to. that's a fantastic number. and also will hear a little bit about bernie sanders who is news this weekend, at town hall saying he wanted the boston bomber to beed able to vote from behind bars. let's take it to green bay wisconsin and watch what the president has to say. ♪ i will forget the man who died who gave that life to me ♪ ♪ and i gladly stand up ♪ next to you in a defender

♪ still today and there ain't no doubt ♪ ♪ i love this land ♪ god bless the usa ♪ and i'm proud to be an american ♪ ♪ where at least i know i'm free ♪ and i won't forget the men ♪ who died who gave that right ♪ to me in a gladly stand up ♪ next to you ♪ and defend her still today ♪ but there ain't no doubt ♪ i love this land ♪ god bless the usa ♪ jesse: here's a president speaking to a crowd in wiscons

wisconsin. [no audio] [cheering] >> unbelievable, thank you, hello green bay. [cheering] in the great state of wisconsin, home of the legendary green bay packers. [cheering] and there is no place i would

ratherbe be than right here in america's heartland. and there's no one [cheering] and there was no one and rather be with you the hard-working patriots that help our country run so well. better that maybe it ever has. thank you. the strength of our nation in the heart of our people so true tonight america's heart is with the victims of the horrific synagogue shooting in poway, california. it just happened. our entire nation mourns the loss of lives, praise forn the wounded and stands in solitary with the juic jewish community.

it must be defeated. [cheering] we are grateful to the law enforcement personnel for the courageous response, incredible response today by law enforcement. [cheering] and i especially want to recognize a certain off-duty border patrol agent who bravely returned fire and help disrupt the attack and saved so many lives. border patrol. [cheering] and i also want to thank mayor steve vos, we had a great conversation, and governor gavin newsom, had a great

conversation, and we stand together. we will all get to the bottom and i also want to thank the mayor and governor gavin newsom, we will all get to thego bottomf it and we will get to the bottom of a lot of things happening in our country. lding a new chapter of american greatness, one founded on the idea that all citizens are entitled to live in safety, prosperity and peace. this is an exciting time for our great country. this is an exciting time for america. [cheers and applause] just yesterday it was announced that the united states economy grew -- some people thought the unexpectedly, not me, i didn't think -- [laughter] [applause] in fact, frankly, if we had the

obama interest rates, low, almost nothing -- actually the, nothing -- and if we had quantitative easenning instead of tightening, we used this conservative approach, we would have been much higher than this, but this is the very high. far greater. first quarter's always -- for the most part, it's the lowest quarter. we did 3.2% in the first quarter, gdp if, crushing expectationings. [cheers and applause] and accelerating our economic boom. and that was with the shutdown, that was with a lot of different things, that was with bad weather, that was with everything you can imagine. 3.2 in the first quarter, usually the lowest and worst quarter. [applause] and prime minister abe, we're negotiating trade deals because every country has been ripping

us off for years, and i really like the prime minister, he's a friend of mine, but i said, mr. prime minister, we've got to do something. for so many decades, we've been losing tens of billions of dollars to china and japan and india and name the any the country -- name any country and we lost. but we're not losing anymore. and i said, listen, we've gotta do something. $68 billion in trade losses over the last four or five years. a year. so we're renegotiating. and i think he'll be fair. [applause] i think he'll be fair. and, by the way, he started by saying that he's putting $40 billion into the united states for new car factories. toyota's coming in with $14 billion. [applause] [cheers and applause] many, many companies.

and they're coming in, frankly, to michigan, they're coming back. they want to be back, to ohio, to pennsylvania -- [cheers and applause] to north carolina, south carolina, florida and what's the name of this special place? it's called wisconsin. [cheers and applause] so they'll be investing very shortly, and it's started already. 40 billion, with a b, $40 billion. and it'll be a lot more than that. the poverty rate for wisconsin families has reached the lowest rate in 22 years. [cheers and applause] the unemployment rate for wisconsin workers has reached

historic finish never been this low before ever, ever, ever. think of that. [cheers and applause] never been, historic low. and we're now the number one economy anywhere in the world, and it's not even close. [cheers and applause] >> usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! >> by the way, saturday night, is there any place that's more fun than a trump rally? [cheers and applause] can you imagine sleepy joe finish.

[laughter] crazy bernie? you hook at the candidates, right -- you look at the candidates, right? if i think pocahontas, she's finished, she's out. [cheers and applause] she's gone. no, when it was found that i had more indian blood in me than she did -- [laughter] and then it was determined that i had none, but i still had more. [laughter] that was the end of her 32-year scam on colleges. but can you imagine any of these people up here doing what i'm doing? there'd be 200 people show up, if they were president. if they weren't president, nobody would show up, is that right? [cheers and applause] and i have to say, i was saying on the way over they're telling me about bad weather, by the way. we may have to cancel tonight.

i said, are you crazy? can you imagine? i learned this morning they thought you were going to have a big snowstorm, right? a big, big snowstorm. the people that get it wrong the most are the weather forecasters and the political analysts. [cheers and applause] no, they said there's a big, big storm the, it's going to be hitting green bay, we may have to cancel. i said, like hell we're going to cancel, people are standing out -- [cheers and applause] people are standing out 24 hours ago, 32 hours ago outside. who stood out this for 24 hours -- out there for 24 hours? thank you. we love you. thank you. and you know what? and you're rewarded with the

best seats in the house, right? that's the way it should be, right? [cheers and applause] america's future has never been brighter, yet the democrats -- those very friendly people in washington -- have never been angrier than they are today. you see, somebody else with a very low level of energy was supposed to be standing here instead of me. they wouldn't be in this room. >> lock her up! lock her up! lock her up! lock her up! >> i don't know, they've got some problems, i would say that. [laughter] but, you know, if you look two

weeks out in 2016, i was going to rallies, we were doing five and six like this, and there were thousands of people outside just like there are right now. we had 69,000 people sign up to come in -- what is this place hold, like, 10 or 12? whatever. whatever it holds, we set the record. i just was told by the owners -- where's the owner here? [cheers and applause] i don't know what the hell it holds, but we just set the record. [cheers and applause] where's the owner? is in your -- is this your record? thank you, boom. [cheers and applause] thank you. that's always dangerous. he said, yes, it is, sir. it's always dangerous -- no, sir. i'm dead.

[laughter] they will take that answer, that'll be headlines. thank you very much. you saved me. [laughter] no, this is the record. we set records everywhere, and it's not me. this is a movement like we've never seen in the history of our country. [cheers and applause] but the radical liberal democrats put all their hopes behind their collusion delusion which has now been totally exposed to the world as a complete and total fraud. the greatest political hoax in american history, it really has been. so this witch hunt was never really just about me, it was always about stopping you -- the millions and millions of freedom-loving citizens who rose up on that incredible november day. remember that day? november 3th. [cheers and. -- 8th.

[cheers and applause] and demanded a government that puts america first, okay in and we're doing that with china. we're doing that with india. we're doing that with japan. we're doing it with a great new trade deal that hopefully will get approved in the house. i hope they're going to approve it, because it's great for the farmers. everybody wants it, everybody loves it. but we're all signed up and getting ready, i guess, in 30 days to put it in, the usmca. like the song "ymca," right, remember? usmca. that's with mexico and canada. it's a great deal, and it's going to be very really good for manufacturers and really, really good to the farmers. that's what we want to do. [cheers and applause] so, put a lot of pressure on your congressmen and senators, because they have to ratify it. you know, they have to approve it and, frankly, with what you have today maybe they'd rather

have us have a loss than do something that's good for the country. right? because nafta is one of the worst trade deals ever signed in the history of our country. you look around wisconsin, you still see the scars; empty buildings. you go up to new england, you go to ohio, you go to different places, nafta was a disaster. and what we had, the one thing i wanted more than anything else, i want to make it almost impossible for a company to leave wisconsin and leave other states and go to mexico and go to other places, but go to mexico, fire its workers -- [cheers and applause] open a new plant in mexico, hire other workers and sell the equipment into the united states. i don't want that, and we're not going to do it, and it makes it virtually not economically viable. that's what i want. so it's going to be great. i hope we can get congress to get it approved quickly, because

it's going to be fantastic for everybody in this room and especially manufacturers and farmers, and people aren't going to be firing people and moving their plants to other countries. [cheers and applause] remember that spell we were going through before i was a politician? remember? can you believe i'm a politician? i can't even finish. [laughter] politician. but remember that spell where everybody was just leaving the country and going into mexico, canada? mexico, canada. and canada has been taking big advantage of your agricultural products. you know that. you know canada. we love the song "to canada," right? but i came up here a year ago, and i was with farmers, and they were selling specialty milk. now, you're getting killed for

years. 297% tariff. that means you can't sell it. that's essentially putting up a barrier. so all of those things are taken care of in this new deal, and you're going to be opened up -- [cheers and applause] they don't love it, but it's going to be good for everybody. [applause] it's going to be good for everybody. and if they didn't approve, i would have just put tariffs on the cars. i didn't want to do that, but i said if that's not going to happen, we're putting tariffs on the cars and, frankly, we'll make must have r more money. -- make more money. you'll watch the company grow and prosper as you starve, that's no good, right? and, actually, it's good for canada, it's good for mexico, it's good for us, we've got to get congress to approve it. so put a lot of pressure on these geniuses we have over here. [applause] that's going to be a great trade deal. and we're very close to making a deal with china, but who knows? i always say who knows, because

who the hell knows? [laughter] the deal is either going to be a great deal -- it has to be. i told president xi, he's a friend of mine. i said, listen, this can't be a good deal for both, because we have been losing to china for many years. $500 billion a year. we have rebuilt china, we've given 'em so much. think of it, and that's ooh cash, you know? they can say it's surplus, they can say it's deficit, call it whatever, we were losing cash. we're giving them $500 -- how the hell can you do it? and as prime minister abe said to me today the, he said nobody's ever talked to me this way -- [laughter] from our country, sure. [applause] no, he said it friendly. [applause] no, he said it friendly. he said it friendly, he's a friend of mine. but he said nobody from this country, no president has ever said this. nobody ever even talked about

it. we lose $75 billion a year, japan as an example, sells us their cars. the cars come in. no tax. they don't take our cars. other than that, it's a very fair deal. [laughter] so the cars come in, essentially, it's 2.5%, but essentially it's no tax. our agriculture, they don't want it. we want to sell the agriculture. so they sell cars, we sell practically nothing. that's how we have these massive imbalances with so many countries. now china's the big one, because with china it's at least $375 billion a year deficit. think of it. who the hell wants -- who made these deals? [laughter] it's true. honestly, in all fairness to obama, this was him, but this was before obama, a long time before obama. this has been going on for a long time.

and all i'm telling you is if we don't make a deal, we're going to do even better, okay? we have all the cards. don't forget or, we're the piggybank that everybody's robbing. we're the ones, we're the piggybank that everybody is stealing from and robbing and taking advantage of. [applause] but no the matter how hard they try to stop us, they can't because our love for america will always be stronger than a corrupt thirst for power. i don't -- i tell you what, people say, oh, he wants to take over the country, he wants to extend the, they don't believe i'm leaving in six years, he wants to extend. he wants to have presidency for life. these are sick people. i promise at the end of six years, i'll be very happy, but you're going to be left with the strongest country you've ever had, i promise you.

[cheers and applause] >> usa! usa! usa! usa! >> thank you. you're right, usa. we love usa, that's right. and that's what this fight is all about. we're taking on the failed political establishment and restoring government of, by and for the people. it's the people, or you're the people. you won the election. [applause] and if you look at what's happened with the scum that's leaving the very top of government, people that others used to say, oh, that's one -- these were dirty cops. these were dirty players.

you take a look at what's going on, there's 21 of 'em already. and i'm not even doing -- they're just leaving because they got caught like nobody ever got caught. [cheers and applause] and in the truest sense of the word, what we are doing now is draining the swamp. that's true. [cheers and applause] >> drain the swamp! drain the swamp! drain the swamp! >> i mean, we're draining the swamp, but are we having a good time or what? [cheers and applause] and look at all those beautiful red hats. and some white ones.

some white ones. [cheers and applause] look at that. those are, that's a lot of red hats. but you do have the white ones too, right? and you have the black ones too, you have a lot of them. you have a lot of different hats but let me just say, so we have to make a decision. do you want to make it tonight? so we're doing great, the country's doing great, we're rebuilding our military, we're doing so many things. listen, so we have a decision to make. we may have the greatest theme in the history of politics, it's called make america great again, it's called maga country, maga. [cheers and applause] it's calls maga country. you know, i didn't hear that term until that third rate actor -- [laughter] in chicago went out, and he said

i was beaten up by maga country, can you believe it? now, that's a hate crime, right? he said he was beaten up by maga country. turned out to be a total lie. but think of it, maga. make america great again. and, by the way, i have to tell you, that case in chicago is a disgrace to our nation. [cheers and applause] disgrace. so we have a decision to make. now, if this weren't the great -- i really believe, and it's been said, but make america great again. ronald reagan used seldom let's make america great. close, but let's -- apostrophe. you don't want that.

[laughter] too complicated. ronald reagan was good. we seriously used it, right? [cheers and applause] maga. and maga we got for free because my whole deal was make america great again, all of a sudden people are going hashtag the maga. but we have a choice to make and a decision to make. so very shortly we're going to say you see what we did with our vets? we have choice. we have accountability where you can -- we have a lot of things. okay, we've done so much. our military is, like, going to be very soon in great shape. we took 100% of the caliphate in syria, everyone say -- said, oh, you're never going to -- [cheers and applause] and by the way, by the way, is and when some whack job that picks up something over the internet goes out and blows up a store and people get killed, i understand that happens. i understand, because these

people are sick. they're demented. but we, nevertheless, in terms of a war, we took 100%. but you're going to have these cells, and they're going to do damage, and it's a shame, and we've got to stop 'em. we've done a great job, but we've got to be careful. these are sick, horrible human beings, if you even call them human beings. so we've got to be careful. and you know what? when you see -- and i say this, because we have a massive television audience. did you ever see so many cameras? if somebody else were here, you'd have about, like, none. [laughter] this is like the academy awards used to be before they started hitting us, and their ratings started falling like a rock. [cheers and applause] so we have a choice to make. ready? so make america great again.

the problem is we've made america great very soon. we have a couple of things to do. we should have had health care, but one man decided to vote against us at the last moment. i was -- even though he campaigned for eight years repeal and replace, but that's okay. that's okay because we're coming up -- if we win, we're coming up with a great panel of health care. we're going to be the party of health care. after the election. we've got to take back the house. we've got to win the senate. we've got to win the presidency. [cheers and applause] but we got rid of the individual mandate. that's a big thing, that was the worst part of obamacare. so here is what our decision is. do we use for the new campaign, which we'll be starting soon. we have the great sarah he hucke over here, sarah? [cheers and applause]

>> sarah! sarah! sarah! sarah! [cheers and applause] >> thank you, mr. president.

[laughter] but it's pretty hot in this room tonight. thanks to -- [cheers and applause] thanks to all the amazing things you've done for our country, last year this night i was at a slightly different event, not quite the best welcome. so this is an amazing honor. i'm so proud to work for the president. they said he couldn't win in 2016 and he did. they said he couldn't make our economy better, and it's booming. they said he couldn't rebuild the military, and he's done it. they said there was collusion and there wasn't. [cheers and applause] they've questioned him at every step, and he's proven them wrong every single time because of all of you. thank you, mr. president, for leading our country. thank you. [cheers and applause]

[laughter] [cheers and applause] she was wondering what was that all about. she's been great, and dan scavino and mike and the whole group and madeleine, everybody. [cheers and applause] what a group. what a group. no, they're great people, and they really love this country. what they've been through, they've been through a lot. they've been through a lot of phony stuff. the witch hunts, they've been through a lot. so we're delighted to be joined tonight by many incredible wisconsin republican leaders. a really great friend of mine, a

man who is really the focus of what's going on in so much of washington, very tough guy, very strong guy. i call him wisconsin tough. and i don't even know if you know it, and i don't know if you appreciate it, but i'm telling you, he's really good, ron johnson, your senator.

[cheers and applause] since the election we've created more than six million new jobs. nobody would have believed that. if i said this when i came here often -- i came here often. remember, i came, and they didn't like certain people that were with me, they booed the hell out of those people, right? but they liked me, that's all that mattered.
