we briefly limited drug and human trafficking to a level that nobody actually thought was possible, and the wall helped us a lot. and we protected -- [applause] vulnerable people. from the ravages of dangers predators. and that's what they are, dangerous, dangerous predators. but the biden administration has put the vile coyotes back in business, and it has done so in a very, very big way. under the new administration, catch and release has been restored. can you imagine? we worked so hard. catch -- you know what that is. you catch them, you take them, they may be killers, they may be rapists, they may be drug smugglers. you take their name and you release them into our country. we did the opposite. we not only didn't release 'em, we had them brought back to their country. [applause] illegal immigrants are now being

apprehended and released along the entire southern border, just the opposite of what it was two months ago. they weren't coming because they couldn't get in. once they think they can get in, they're coming, and they are coming at levels that you haven't even seen yet, by the hundreds of thousands. by the millions, they'll be coming. the biden administration is now actively expediting the administration of illegal migrants -- admission of illegal migrants, admitting them by the thousands and thousands and thousands a day crowded together in unsanitary conditions despite the ongoing economic and public health crisis. covid-19, or as i call it, the china virus. [cheers and applause] there's no masks, there's no double masks. that was a new one that came out two weeks ago. first fauci said you don't need masks, no masks, no good.

then all of a sudden -- now he wants double masks. no social distancing, no nothing. no nothing. and together -- and it's sad, actually, and it's sad for them and it's sad for our country. what the biden administration is doing to push young migrants into the hands of human traffickers and coyotes is dangerous, immoral and indefensible. it's hard to believe it's happening. biden has failed at his number one duty at chief executive, enforcing america's laws. [applause] this alone should be reason enough for democrats to suffer withering losses in the midterms and to lose the white house decisively four years from now. [applause]

[cheers and applause] >> usa! usa! usa! [applause] >> actually, as you know, they just lost the white house, but that's one of those things. [cheers and applause] but who knows, who knows? i may even decide to beat them for a third time, okay? [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause]

>> joe biden defunded the border wall and stopped all future construction even on small open sections that just needed to be finished up. routine little work. it'd already been bought. wait until the contractors say, no, it costs much more money not to finish this small section than if we'd finished it. that'll be nice. wait until you see those bills start pouring in. he revoked the executive order cracking down on sanctuary cities. he has effectively ordered a shutdown of i.c.e., halting virtually all deportations everybody, murders, everybody. and restricting our law enforcement professionals, and they are great professionals. you have many of them represented here today -- [applause] from conducting almost any immigration enforcement of any kind. the biden policy of releasing criminals into the u.s. interior is making america into a sanctuary nation where

criminals, illegal immigrants including gang members and sex offenders, are set free into american communities. they have no idea who's coming up. and remember with the caravans, these countries not only are there three of them, but many, many countries all over the world. they're not giving us their best and their finest because they're intelligent. they're not giving us their best and their finest. remember i said that. i said that a long time ago when i made the first remarks when i came down the escalator with our great future first lady -- [cheers and applause] who says hello, who loves you as much as i love you. but i said that a long time ago, and we turned out to be 100% correct. biden's radical immigration policies aren't just illegal, they're immoral, they're heartless, and they are in

betrayal of our nation's core values. it's a terrible thing that's happened. the republican party must hold joe biden and the democrats accountable. they ripped up the diplomatic agreements we negotiated with honduras, guatemala and el salvador to shut down illegal immigration. you know they got a fortune. they got paid $500 million a year. when i came into office, those countries were refusing to take back illegal alien gang members including ms-13, the most vicious preble of them all -- probably of them all. no matter where you go in the world, ms-13, they do things that even the worst don't think about. so i asked, how much do we pay these countries? how much do we pay them? sir, we pay them approximately $500 million a year. that's a lot of money. i mean, it's peanuts compared to the way other countries rip are

us off, but that's a lot of money. i said, okay, we aren't going to pay them anymore because they wouldn't take back the criminals. and this was true with the obama administration, it was true for many, many years. we catch a murderer, we want to bring them back to guatemala or honduras, salvador. they wouldn't take them back, no, we don't want 'em. we'd bus them in, they wouldn't let the buses get anywhere near the border, and i said we're not going to pay them anymore. so after i said that and i stopped payment, you know? like a term that we use inside world of business, let's stop payment. so we stopped payment. they were delinquent. we stopped payment. and they very quickly came to the table, and we made a deal very quickly. we still kept the money. we still didn't pay it because -- [laughter] [cheers and applause] but we made a deal.

and when illegal aliens came across our border, they were rapidly deported and lovingly accepted by those countries from where they came. and it worked out great. so now they accept the people, and then we ultimately got along very well with those countries, those three countries, and many countries around the world because they respected us again. they didn't respect us. [applause] they couldn't believe what they were getting away with. but now joe biden has wrecked this great deal, wrecked it. and they're already doing what they were doing before, and they're taking the money. and that's just a small portion of what's going on. to top it all off, the biden people are pushing a bull that would grant -- a bill that would grant mass amnesty for illegal millions while massively expanding chain migration. that's where everybody comes in, your grandmother, your father, your mother, your brother, your

cousins. they come in so easily. so easy. it even requires that the u.s. government provide illegal border crossers with taxable-funded lawyers. anybody need a good lawyer? you can't have one. they get the lawyers. they're probably very good too. the democrat immigration bill is a globalist -- you take a look at the corporatists, big tech attack on hard working citizens of every race, religion, color and creed, and republicans must insure that it never is allowed to become federal law, which is what they want to do. [applause] we must stand tall as a party. we have to do this. we have to stand tall as the party for law-abiding americans and others when they're in our country. border security is just one of the many issues on which the new administration has already

betrayed the american people. he didn't talk about this stuff. i debated him. he wasn't talking about this. he wasn't -- he signed those executive orders, they weren't things that were discussed. we didn't know all about him in the press because they're fake news, they're the biggest fakers there are. [cheers and applause] but the press would refuse to ask the questions. and when i asked the questions on the television, on the debate, chris wallace in this case and others, refused to met him answer. they refused to let him answer the questions. maybe we could have found something or if the media did its job, which they don't. their callous indifference to working families is equally clear when it comes to the critical matter of getting america's children back to school. [cheers and applause] and they must get back and get back right now. [cheers and applause] right now.

[cheers and applause] crazy. terrible. terrible. the biden administration is actually bragging about the classroom education they are providing to migrant children on the border while at the same time millions of american children are having their futures destroyed by joe biden's anti-science school closures. think of it. we're educating students on the border, but our own people, children, our citizens, citizens themselves, are not getting the education that they deserve. there's no reason whatsoever why the vast majority of young americans should not be back in school immediately. [cheers and applause] the only reason that most

parents do not have that choice is because joe biden sold out america's children to theachers. [applause] his position is morally inexcusable. you know that. joe biden has shamefully betrayed the america's youth, and he is cruelly keeping our children locked in their homes. no reason for it whatsoever. they want to get out. they're cheating the next generations of americans out of the future that they deserve, and they do deserve this future. they're going to grow up, and they're going to have a scar. it's a scandal of the highest order and one of the most craven acts by any president in our lifetimes. teachers union gets the votes, and it shouldn't happen. nobody has more respect for teachers than i do, and i'll bet a lot of people within the union agree with everything i'm saying.

even "the new york times" is cawing out the democrats. the mental and physical health of these young people is reaching a breaking point. tragically, suicide attempts have skyrocketed, and student depression is now common place and at levels we've never seen before. the democrats now say we have to pass their $1.9 trillion boondoggle to open schools, but a very small part of it has to do with that. you know where it's going, it's going to ball out badly- bail out badly-run democrat cities, so much of it. but billions of dollars for schools remain unspent from the covid relief bills that were passed last year. so on behalf of the moms, dads and children now. be a great thing to do. [applause]

when i left office, and we're very proud of this because this was something that they said could not be done -- the fda said it, everybody said it, any article said it, it would be years and years. i handed the new administration what everyone is now calling a modern day medical miracle. some say it's the greatest thing to happen in hundreds of years, hundreds of years. two vaccines produced in record time with numerous others on the way including the johnson & johnson vaccine that was approved just yesterday. [cheers and applause] and therapeutic relief also if you're sick. if you're sick now, we have things that are incredible. what has taken place over the last year under our administration would have taken any other president at least five years, and we got it done

in nine months. everyone says five years. [cheers and applause] five years. can you imagine if you had to go through what all of the countries of the world who are now getting the vaccine or soon will be getting it from various companies, but can you imagine if all of those countries had to go through what they've been going through over the last year? you'd lose hundreds of millions of people. i pushed the fda like they have never been pushed before. they told me that loud and clear. they have never been pushed like i pushed them. i didn't like them at all. [laughter] but once we got it done, i said i now love you very much. [laughter] what the trump administration has done with vaccines has in many respects perhaps saved large portions of the world. not only our country, but large portions of the world. [applause]

not only did we push the fda far beyond what the bureaucrats wanted to do, we also put up billions and billions of dollars, 10 billion, to produce the vaccines before we knew they were going to work. it was called a calculated bet or a calculated risk. we took a risk because if we didn't do that, you still wouldn't have the vaccines. you wouldn't have them for a long time. so think of that. we made a bet because we thought we were on a certain track. and you'd be starting to make them right now. it'd be a long time before you ever saw them. it takes 60-100 days to manufacture and inspect new doses, and that means that 100% of the increased availability that we have now was initiated by our administration. 100%. [applause] in fact, the director of the

national institutes of health, francis collins. he's fauci's boss, by the way. i think he's a democrat too the, by the way said that operation warp speed was absolutely breathtaking and that the trump administration deserves full credit. which we do. [cheers and applause] and as conservatives and republicans, never forget that we did it. never let them take the credit because they don't deserve the credit. [applause] they just follow now, they're following our plan. but this has been something that they really call, they call it an absolute miracle. joe biden is only implementing the plan that we put in place, and if we had an honest media -- which we don't -- they would say it loud and clear. by the time i left that

magnificent house at 1600 pennsylvania avenue, almost 20 million americans had already been vaccinated. 1.5 million doses were administered on my final today alone. 1.5 million in a day. yet biden said just a few days ago -- [applause] that when he got here, meaning the white house, there was novack -- no vaccine. there's no vaccine. oh, good. say it again, joe. now, i don't think he said that, frankly, in a malicious way, i really don't. i actually believe he said that because he didn't really know what the hell was happening. [cheers and applause] never let them forget this was us. we did this. and the distribution is moving along according to our plan, and it's moving along really well.

we had the military, what they've done, our generals and all of the people what they've done is incredible. but remember, you know, we took care of a lot of people including, i guess, on december 21st we took care of joe biden, because he got his shot. he got his vaccine. he forgot. it shows you how unpainful that vaccine is, so everybody go get your shot. he forgot. so it wasn't very traumatic, obviously, but he got his shot. and it's good that hi got his shot. last year i predicted to you that the extremist corruption and incompetence of the biden administration would be literally unprecedented in american history. unfortunately, he's proven me 100% right. already as president, biden has urged congress to pass legislation shredding your

second amendment. your second amendment is in far bigger trouble than you know. and for four years i fought like hell to save your second amendment, and we saved it 100%. [cheers and applause] we saved it. we signed an order to conduct politically correct far-left indoctrination trainings in every department of the federal government including the u.s. military after i had terminated these horrible things that were being preached to our military. and he wants it to go forward. it's insane. within his first few hours, biden eliminated our national security travel bans on nations plagued by terrorism. his first priority was to open our borders to unvetted travelers from libya, yepen, syria, somalia -- yemen -- and many other countries where strict vetting cannot occur, countries that have tremendous problems, countries with

tremendous terrorism problems. we did it in the travel ban. it was a real achievement. we told those countries, sorry, straighten out your act. we don't want people coming in where they had an ideology or a problem. we just couldn't have it. and it was incredible, how it worked was incredible. and he terminated it. we had to get it approved. it went all the way up to the supreme court of the united states. we got it approved, and he terminates it. in addition, he's already increased refugee admissions by nearly ten times, but in effect, it'll soon be hundreds of times as millions of people show up to our soon to be open borders. and, by the way, the border control and i.c.e. are some of the great heroes of our country. these are incredible people. [applause] i got to know them very well. your family still cannot go out to eat at local restaurants, but joe biden is bringing in thousands upon thousands of

refugees from all over the world, people that nobody knows anything about. we don't have crime records, we don't have health records. what are they bringing in with them? when i left office, we had virtually ended the end he is wars, these endless wars that go on forever. they go on forever. [applause] i would go to dover, and i would see caskets, coffins coming in, i'd see the parents and wives and husbands, i would see the kids. endless wars. nineteen years in afghanistan, we have it down to almost nothing left, and i hear they might want to go back in. iraq. remember, i used to say don't go in, but if you're going to go in, keep the oil. well, we went in, and we didn't keep the oil. we had made historic peace deals in the middle east like nobody thought were even possible. [cheers and applause]

with not a drop of bloodshed. [applause] and, by the way, not one american soldier has been killed in afghanistan in over a year. think of that. not one. [cheers and applause] those troops have largely come home. at the same time, the new administration unilaterally withdrew our crippling sanctions on iran foolishly giving away all of america's leverage before negotiations had even begun. leave the sanctions to negotiate. does anybody understand what i'm saying here? are there any good business -- you don't have to be good, are there any bad business people? [laughter] they took off the sanctions. they took off the sanctions, they say, well, we're not going

to have any sanctions. let's negotiate a deal. i don't know, matt. >> rap, i don't think you would have done that. -- matt schlapp. no, you make a deal and then you do what they want. had we had a fair election, the results would have been much different, and we would have had a deal -- [applause] we would have had a deal with iran within the first week. they wanted those sanctions off. he took them off for nothing, for nothing. now you watch how tough they negotiate. in another hour horrendous surr, he agreed to get back into the world health organization for approximately $500 million a year, which is what we were paying. when i withdrew from the w.h.o., and you know the whole story with that, they called it badly, they really are puppets for

china. they called and they wanted us to stay in. i said how much are we paying? approximately $500 million. how much is china paying? much larger in terms of population country. sir, they're paying $39 million. i said why are we paying $500 million and they're paying 39? i can tell you why, because the people who made the deal are stupid, that's why. [applause] so, so -- and i had no idea how popular, i didn't want even know if i would be able to politically because people were so happy when i did get out. but i said so we went in, we could get it for 39 million, not $500 million which is what we were stupidly paying? and they said, we can make a deal. we want you to go in, we can make a deal. okay. and i decided not to do it. we could have had it for 39, we could have had it for the same as china, and they decide now to go back into the world health

organization and pay $500 million. what the hell is wrong with them? no, no, this is just, this is just emblematic. it's a tremendous amount of money, but compared to trillions it's not, but it's a tremendous amount of money. why would china pay $39 million and we're paying almost $500 million? why? so we could have made the same teal that china had, 39 million, and they just say we're going back in. we're going back into the world health organization, they go back in, they pay 500. it is so sad. just like the iran and the world health organization, joe biden put the united states back into the very unfair and very costly paris climate accord without negotiating a better deal. they wanted us so badly back in. i'll tell you, they wanted us. i was getting calls from all of the countries, you must come back into the paris accord. i said, tell me why? give me one good reason.

first of all, china doesn't kick in for ten years. russia goes by an old standard which was not a clean standard. but we get hit right from the beginning. would have cost us hundreds of thousands and millions of jobs. it was a disaster. but they go back in. i could have made an unbelievable deal and gone back in, but i didn't want to do that. surrendering millions of jobs and trillions of dollars to all of these other countries, almost all of them that were in the deal. so they have favorable treatment, we don't have favorable treatment, and we just said we're going back in. to go back in, they wanted us so badly, you could have -- if you wanted to go back in which, frankly, we have the cleanest air, the cleanest water and everything else that we've ever had, so i don't know why we have to. [applause] and what good does it do when we're clean but china's not and russia's not and india's not? so they're pouring fumes, you knowing or the world is actually a small piece of the universe, right? they're pouring fumes and we're trying to protect everything and

building products for three times more than is necessary. no, they could have made a great deal. if they were going to go back in, that's' fine. but they could have made a great deal. instead you say, we're back in. these people. one of his first official acts ors which was incredible because, again, he talked about energy, he never said he was going to do this, hing canceled the keystone xl pipeline, destroying not the 8,000 or the 9,000 or the 11,000 jobs that you hear, but 42,000 great paying jobs on just about day one, right? he never talked about that during our debate because he wouldn't have gotten away with it. well, he would have because they cheated so much, he probably would have. [cheers and applause] no, but that was not a topic of conversation, remember? fracking, you can frack. oh, welove fracking. during the primary, no frack. as soon as he got through that,

no, of course, everybody can frack. no fracking. you wait until you see what happens with your gasoline. wait until you see what happens. we cannot let this stuff continue to go on. one of my proudest accomplishments as president was to make america energy independent. the united states became the number one energy superpower on earth. [cheers and applause] number became number one. bigger than saudi arabia, bigger than russia by a lot. we left them all in the dust. they were all in the dust. but if the democrats have their way, we are heading from energy dominance to energy disaster. that's what's on. everything's being closed up. it's a disaster. the blackouts we saw in california last summer and all the time, and the wind mill

calamity that we're witnessing in texas, great state of texas. we love texas. but it's so sad when you look at it. [applause] that'll just be the start. how bad is wind power? if so i talk about it all the time at cpac, right? we went to cpac remember last, what's the president, alice, the wind isn't blowing. remember? we would kid, but i wasn't actually kidding. it's such an expensive form of energy. it's so bad for the environment. it kills the birds, it destroys the landscapes. and remember, these are structural columns with fans on them. they wear out. and when they wear out all over the country, you see them, nobody takes them down. they're rotting, they're rusting. how this is environmentally good for our country, and it costs many, many times more than natural gas which is clean. it costs more many -- and fuel our great factories.

wind can't to that. and solar, i love solar, but it doesn't have the capacity to do what we have to do to make america great again. sorry, it just doesn't happen. [cheers and applause] under the radical democrat policies, the price of gas lean has already surged 30% -- gasoline has already surgeried 30% since the election and will go to 5, $6, $7 and even higher so enjoy that when you go to the pump and they say that'll be about $200 to fill up your van. you remember they used to go to those little, small vans? they got away from the big ones that everybody wanted? they went to the small ones. you know what? probably a good investment as wrong as these guys have their say because, you know, it's a shame what's happening. energy prices are going to go through the roof, and that includes your electric bills, that includes any bill having to do with energy. we will now be relying on russia and the middle east for oil. and if they talked about russia,

russia, russia, what's better than what this guy's done for russia? i had oil where they were paying you to take it. you had to take it away. free oil almost for a period of time. in one way i was proud of it, but we also had to save the energy industry, and it worked out well. and i dealt with russia and saudi arabia, and they cut back on production, and we got it back up. but now it's going the opposite because now they're taking this incredible energy independence away from the people of our country, and you're going to see costs go like you have never seen them go before. it's a very sad and very stupid thing that they're doing. finish the biden policies are a massive win for other oil-producing countries and a massive loss for the united states and our great citizens. joe biden and the democrats are even pushing policies that would destroy women's sports. a lot of new records are being broken in women's sports.

hate to say that, ladies, but got a lot of new records. they're being shattered. finish you know, for years -- you know, for years, the weight lifting, every ounce is like a big deal for many years. all of a sudden somebody comes along and beats it by 100 pounds. young girls and women are incensed that they are now being forced to compete against those who are biological males. not good for women. it's not good for women's sports which worked so long and so hard to get to where they are. the records have stood for years, even decades, and they're now being smashed with ease. smashed. if this this does not change, ws sports as we know it will die, they'll end. it'll end. what coach, if i'm a coach, you know, i want to be a great coach. one coach, as an example, wants to recruit a young woman to compete if her record can easily be broken by somebody who was born a man?

not too many of those coaches around, right? they are around -- we're 0-16 but we're getting better. no, i think it's crazy. i think it's just crazy, what's happening. we must protect the integrity of women's sports. so important. have to. [applause] [cheers and applause] and i don't even know, is that controversial? somebody said, well, that's going to be very controversial. i said, that's okay, you haven't heard anything yet. [cheers and applause] you can see the early weeks of the biden administration are nothing less than, they've been a catastrophe for american

workers and for american families. the task of our mission and for us, it's our movement. as i said, a movement like has never been seen i think we can probably seen never been seen anywhere in the world. nobody's ever seen a movement like this. [applause] i'd grow up and i'd watch somebody who came in second in new hampshire or first in iowa, and that was the end, and they became famous for the rest of their lives. we won the election twice. i mean, you have -- [cheers and applause] the task for our movement and our party is to stand up to this destructive agenda with confidence and with resolve. the future of the republican party is as a party that defends the social, economic and cultural interests and values of working american families of every race, color and creed. that's why the party is growing so rapidly. and it's becoming a different party. and it's becoming a party of

love. [applause] you have to see outside the streets. i mean, there's such love. the flags. [cheers and applause] amazing. >> usa! usa! usa! usa! >> that's right. no, it's a party that's incredible. the people, the spirit. and as you probably heard a little while ago, there's more spirit now than there's ever been, including even before the election. more spirit now than we've ever seen because people are seeing how bad it can be. and, again, i want to thank rush and katherine because what he did to get the word out has been incredible. [applause] some people arer are replaceable, as sean hannity

would say, and he said rush is irreplaceable. but his spirit lives on, and that's something that we need and we love. republicans believe that the needs of every citizen must come first. in fact, america must come first. [applause] we don't put it first -- they don't put it first. over the past four years, my administration delivered for americans of all backgrounds like never before. like never before. we built the strongest economy in the history of the world, raised wages and achieved the lowest african-american, hispanic-american, asian-american unemployment rates ever, ever, ever recorded. [applause] it was of all backgrounds that even after the china virus we are leading the world. nobody's even close, we're leading it in the comeback. our economic comeback has been incredible. that's because the financial and economic foundation we built was

so strong that, unlike other countries who are having a hard time, wement tonight break. we came -- we didn't break. we came roaring back, and our stock market and your 401(k)s are, again, at record levels. higher than ever before, actually. many people ask, what is trumpism? a new term being more and more. i'm hearing that term more and more. i didn't come up with it. [cheers and applause] but what it means is great deals, great trade deals. great ones. not deals where we give away everything, our jobs, money. like the usmca replacement of the horrible nafta. nafta was one of the worst deals ever made, probably the worst trade deal ever made. and we ended it. a lot of people forget we ended it. now we have the usmca. incredible what it's done for our farmers who are doing fantastically. grain sales are at an all-time

high. wheat, all-time high. so many element of farms and farmers, and they love me. and, remember, it's going to be very close the in iowa. well, it wasn't close, we won in a land slide, iowa. because our farmers know and they put up with it, and we did a lot of work with the tariffs and all these things we had to do to get it, and now the farmers are doing great. they're setting records. it means low taxes and eliminating job-killing regulations, trumpism. it means strong borders but people coming into our country based on a system of merit. so they come in and they can help us as opposed to coming here and not being good for us including criminals which there are many. it means no riots in the streets. it means law enforcement. [cheers and applause] it means very strong protection for the second amendment and the right to keep and bear arms. [cheers and applause]

it means support for the forgotten men and women who have been taken advantage of for so many years, and they were doing great. they were doing great before that horrible thing from china came in and hit us, and now they're starting to do really well again. you know, if you think about it, we built the economy twice. we built it then and then like every other country in the world it went down, and we built it again. now it's higher in many ways, certainly in the stock market, than it was before. that's because of the foundation. and no country comes even close to competing with our comeback. [applause] and it means a strong military and taking care of our vets. but a strong military which we have totally rebuilt. [applause] we have rebuilt it. and our military has never been stronger than it is today. it was tired, it was depleted,

it was obsolete, and now we have the best brand new equipment ever made, and it was the all produced right here in the usa. isn't that nice? [cheers and applause] and we take care of our vets. you know, we had a poll recently just before leaving office. the events had a 91% approval rating for the way we took care of them. that's the highest number in the history of the polls. [applause] the vet polls. on top of all of that, we have even created the space force, the first new branch of the united states military in nearly 75 years. [cheers and applause] the mission of the democrat party is to grow socialism. they want to promote socialism ultimately leading, unfortunately, to communism. and that will happen. if you look at venezuela, you look at some of these countries, that's why some of our biggest supporters are from south america, latin america, because they've seen what goes on with

all of this cancel culture and you can't speak and let's cut them off and let's not give them words. the mission of our movement and of the republican party must be to create a future of good jobs, strong. families, safe communities, a vibrant culture and a great nation for all americans, and that's what we're creating. [applause] their party is based upon unvarnished disdain for america, its past and its people. you see that happening, it's horrible the way they treat the legacy of our country. the culture of our country. our party is based on love for america and the belief that this is an exceptional nation blessed by god. [cheers and applause] we take great pride in our country.

we teach the truth about history. we celebrate our rich heritage and national traditions. we honor george washington, abraham lincoln, thomas jefferson and all national heros. [cheers and applause] and, of course, we respect our great american flag. [cheers and applause] thank you. thank you very much. [applause] thank you very much. >> we love you! we love you! we love you! we love you! >> thank you.

thank you very much. so nice. we were getting word of that, hearing that during some of the rallies, especially the latter rallies where we set records. we had 56 unbelievable packed rallies, and we started hearing "we love you," and i asked somebody because, you know, we really liked ronald reagan. he was a great president, we had others -- [cheers and applause] but i said did anybody ever say that to any of our great -- and to the best of all these will political professionals' knowledge and pollsters', nobody's ever heard that chant before, matt. so it's an honor. believe me, it's a great honor. [cheers and applause] it's a great honor. you know, when you think about we love you, saying that about -- i hate to say it, am i a politician? i don't know. i hate to admit it, but it's an

honor that you would say we believe in patriotic education and strongly oppose the radical indoctrination of america's youth. [cheers and applause] horrible. we are committed to defending innocent life and to upholding the judeo-christian values of our founders and of our founding. [cheers and applause] we embrace free thought, we stand up to political correctness, and we reject left-wing lunacy, and in particular we reject cancel culture. [cheers and applause] we know that the rule of law is the ultimate safeguard, and we affirm that the constitution means exactly what it says as

written, as written. [cheers and applause] they want to change it. they want to change it, they want to get rid of it, frankly. we believe in law and order, and we believe that the men and women of law enforcement are heroes who truly deserve our absolute support. we don't defund the police. we are not defunding them. [cheers and applause] we believe in standing up to china, shutting down i outsourcing, bringing back our factories and supply chains and insuring that america, not china, dominates the future of the world. what's going to happen. [cheers and applause] and, by the way, we took in hundreds of millions of dollars from china during my administration, hundreds -- they never gave -- it was a one-way street. we took in hundreds of millions, and during negotiations they would say, look, we don't want

any more of these tariffs. those tariffs, we took in so much money. and what happened is they became competitive. so what happened with people, they wouldn't go to china. they'd build a lot of it back in our country. they would make it here instead -- [applause] and in addition to that, we were taking in billions and billions and billions of dollars from china. but in all fairness to china, we made a trade deal with them -- this was prior to covid. once covid happened, i no longer cared so much about the trade deal because what happened with that was justice graceful. but that's -- disgraceful. that's one of the reasons that right now our farmers are doing so good. looks look, go and get a lot of wheat, all of the things we just talked about, you better go out and do it because this country has not been treated fatherly by you for many, many years -- fairly. we used to lose $504 billion trade deficit with china. not million, $504 million is a

lot, right? you know that through the world health organization. now take 504 million, make it $504 billion we had deficits with china. it was absolutely insane that this could keep going. it's amazing that you still have a country left. the people that did this to our country, they should be ashamed of themselves. they should be ashamed of themselves. [applause] companies that leave america to create jobs in china and other countries that have ripped us off for years should not be rewarded. they should be tariffed, fined and punished. they should not be rewarded. [applause] and that's what the biden administration, that's what the biden administration is doing. but, of course, as you know, they have a very close, personal relationship with china, so i don't expect much to happen. because it really is a threat.

it's a tremendous economic threat. and thank god we've rebuilt our military the. but it's a tremendous economic threat. never forget it. these are the convictions that define our movement today and must define the republican party in the years ahead. very simple, it's really quite simple, isn't it? another one of the most urgent issues facing the republican party is that of insuring fair, honest and secure elections. [cheers and applause] such a disgrace. such a disgrace. such a disgrace. we must pass comprehensive election reforms, and we must do it now. the democrats used the china

virus as an excuse to change all of the election rules without the approval of their state legislatures making it, therefore, illegal! it had a massive impact on the election. again, you have to go through the legislatures to get these approvals. this alone would have easily changed the outcome of the election at levels that you wouldn't have even believed. even with covid, even with all of the things the numbers are staggering. we can never let this or other abuses of the 2020 election be repeated or hand -- or happen again. we can never let that happen again. [applause] if we've been set back so greatly with other countries and with the world. we need election integrity and election reform immediately. republicans should be the party of honest elections that can give everyone confidence in the

future of our country. without honest elections, who has confidence? who has confidence? this issue is being studied and examined, but the reality is you cannot have have a situation where ballots are indiscriminately pouring in from all over the country, tens of millions of ballots, where are they coming from? they're coming all over the place. where illegal aliens and dead people are voting and many other horrible things are happening that are too voluminous to even mention. but people know, i mean, it's being studied, and the level of dishonesty is not to be believed. we have a very sick and corrupt electoral process that must be fixed immediately. this election was rigged, and the supreme court and other courts opportunity want to do anything about it. [cheers and applause]

[inaudible conversations] >> we did. if you just take that one element where they didn't go through legislatures, it's illegal, you can't do it. it's in the constitution. they didn't have the courage, the supreme court. they didn't have the courage the act. but instead used process and lack of standing. i was told the president of the united states has no standing. it's my election, it's your election, we have no standing we had almost 20 states, if you think of it, go into the supreme court so that we didn't have a standing problem. they rejected it. they rejected it. they should be ashamed of themselves for what they've done

to our country. they didn't have the guts or the courage to make the right decision. they didn't want the talk about it. [cheers and applause] you had the case led by the great state of texas, 18 states went in. you don't have standing. oh, let's not talk about it. they didn't have the guts to do what should be done. and that's on top of all of the other forms of cheating, but this is the most basic of all. they would have local courts and local politicians change the rules in some cases a day or two before the election. this should never be allowed to happen to another presidential candidate or presidential race. should never be allowed to happen. [applause] today i want to outline the steps that we must take to have

an election system in this country that is honest, fair and accurate. we need one election day, not 45, 30 -- [cheers and applause] one day. like it's been. and the republicans don't get this and the other things i'm going to say, then you should -- like the supreme court finish be ashamed of yourselves. one day. one day. and the only people that should be allowed to vote by mail are people that can be proven to be either very sick or out of the country or military where they can't do it. one day. finish they have -- [applause] millions and millions of ballots sitting around all over the place for long periods of time. gee, i wonder what happens with those ballots? i wonder what happens?

it's common sense. it's a disgrace. it's an absolute disgrace. there should be a legitimate reason for someone to vote absentee. has to have a reason. we should eliminate the insanity of mass and very corrupt mail-in voting. [cheers and applause] we must have voter id. [cheers and applause] voter id. [applause] you know, to get into the democratic national convention when they had the convention, you needed voter id. you needed an id card. you couldn't get in unless you had an id. so many told me you can't get into that place if you don't have id. you need voter id. they know that. this is a con job. they're conning everybody. they know that. they knew the wall was good. they knew the wall would work

but they didn't want to have it because we wanted it. i should have said we will not have a wall, and then they would have said let's build a wall. i made a big mistake! [laughter] i'mi'm sorry. took us a year and a half extra because of that mistake. we will not have a wall. we immediate a wall immediately -- we need a wall immediately, said chuck schumer. [laughter] we need universal signature matching. [applause] they want to pass a bill where you don't have to match signatures, where signatures don't mean anything. they know it just like with the wall, just like voter id when you need to go into anything tim democrat-run, you need it. but for voting, which is our most sacred e institution, they don't want to let you have it. treasured be a -- there should be a 100% requirement to verify the citizenship of every person who

and there must be a chain of custody protections for every ballot, every ballot. [cheers and applause] and you saw what happened in detroit in philadelphia and many other places, swing states mostly, all over but swing states mostly. you saw what happened, you saw what was going on, you saw more people -- you take a look at the vote, when you more votes than you have people, that's a problem. is that a problem? we have a little problem adjusting in detroit we have more votes than we have people, a lot more votes, and election changing number, these are election changing numbers. in pennsylvania they have hundreds of thousands of more votes than they had people voting. what is that all about, what is that all about.

cheating they say. in the history of our country and it has taken place years in pennsylvania and detroit and various other places but is tremendous never like this. because they used covid as a way of cheating, that's what happened and everybody knows it, hundreds and thousands of millions of ballots they used as a way getting what they wanted for many years and the republicans have to do something about it, they better do something about it and are election processes worse than that in many cases of the third world country, you know that you saw what was going on. even if you consider nothing else it is undeniable that election rules were illegally changed at the last minute and almost every swing state with the procedures rewritten by local politicians, you're not allowed to do that, and local judges.

they want more time, they want this, they want that, all done by local politicians or local judges as opposed to state legislatures as required by the constitution of the united states. these are numbers that are massive, these are not little numbers these are numbers that each state is a transformative number, it changes the outcome of the election and it's not close. regardless of your political views this should concern you as a constitutional matter in the supreme court did not have the guts and the courage to do anything about it. and neither did other judges. [cheers and applause] and democrats even admitted in time magazine which is i would say on the liberal side, that they could not hold it and they had to brag about it because what they did they had to brag about it they cannot do it you have to read the story it's a disaster it's a disaster for our country that we can allow

something so corrupt to happen, read the article i really encourage you, you read the article. all the election integrity majors in the world will be nothing if we don't have free speech. that is where we are at now if republicans can be censored for speaking the truth and calling out corruption we will not have democracy and we will have only left-wing tyranny. and we can do this, we can do this, we are smarter than they are, were tougher than they are, for some reason we just don't get it done, we let them attack our businesses and we don't attack their businesses. i believe your numbers are bigger than their numbers but your nicer than they are you're not as vicious as they are. in the past we would debate, you see me for many years i debate, they debate, who knows who wins, people go, they
