Announcer (16:47):

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, Chairman David Shafer.

David Shafer (16:55):

I was hoping to be the ex-chairman of the Georgia Republican Party by now. Hopefully, we’ll get some more momentum once we hear from our next speaker. But it’s my privilege now…

(17:04)
… your attention to the screens, to my right and left, for a video that will introduce our keynote speaker.

Video (17:17):

Here’s a question for you. Just how far are the radical left, and Inside the Beltway bandits, willing to go to stop him? We all know they hate him for winning the fight to protect life, for exposing their deep state, for draining their precious swamp, and they already know he’ll crush Biden. So like a pack of rabid wolves, they attack, “So let’s impeach him. Let’s get tainted radical left prosecutors to charge him. Let’s conspire with Hillary and the FBI with fake stories about him,” all to distract from Biden’s incompetence, weakness, and money-grabbing corruption. But here’s the thing, he’ll never blink. That’s called having the courage of your convictions, and it’s why he’s our President.

Donald J. Trump (18:14):

I’m Donald J. Trump and I approve this message.

Announcer (18:18):

Ladies and gentlemen, the next President of the United States, President Donald J. Trump.

Donald J. Trump (21:00):

Wow. Thank you very much. And we have a record crowd here today. It’s a building that’s not exactly brand new, it looks like. But the crowd is record, and that’s a long time, and thank you very much; and to the fire marshals and fire department and police, and everybody else involved. A lot of people outside that couldn’t get in. I want to thank everybody, and also to Chairman Shafer for the tremendous leadership over the past four years. Thank you to the great State of Georgia. We love Georgia. Great place. Keep America great [inaudible 00:21:38]. It’s great state.

(21:41)
We’re also thrilled to be joined by the NRCC Chairman/Congressman Richard Hudson. Where is Richard? He’s around here someplace. He is fantastic. Hello, Richard. Oh, there he is. We’re going to his state in a couple of minutes. We’re going to be here, and we’re going to North Carolina, and that’ll be great. But Richard, congratulations on a great job.

(22:03)
In addition, today I’m honored to receive the endorsements of some really incredible people. Patriots, I would call them, Georgia patriots, including representative, Mike Collins. Where’s Mike? Thank you, Mike. Great person. Thank you very much. And also Andrew Clyde, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, thank you for those endorsements. Thank you very much for those endorsements, and we love you people. That’s a great group of patriots.

(22:39)
And speaking of patriots… And I met his father. I love his father too. His father was really the man that gave him those genes, according to the world, but I think the mother probably had an even bigger impact: Burt Jones, Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones. He comes from an incredible family, but Burt’s done a fantastic job. And he’s going places. I’ve been saying that for a long time, and so far I’ve been right. He’s very popular and doing a great job as Lieutenant Governor.

(23:11)
Public Service Commissioner, the first person in this state to endorse me, Bubba McDonald. Bubba. Where’s Bubba? There he is. Thank you, Bubba. And I like your jacket, Bubba. I also want to thank very much… He’s always been there. A real powerful, strong person, and a man who loves your state and loves our country, State Senator at Brandon Beach. Thank you, Brandon. A great guy.

(23:49)
For seven years we’ve been engaged in an epic struggle to rescue our country from the sinister forces within who hate it, they hate our country, and who want to destroy it; can be no other reason. These forces are far stronger than Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran all put together. Think of that. From within is worse than from without. Because the right leader in America, if you have that leader, you’re going to have no problems with those countries. We had no problems. We got it all straightened out. They understood. Would’ve never ever had the problem with Russia/Ukraine. China right now is looking like they’re going to do something, and they would have never even talked about it.

(24:31)
Right now, however, they’re putting us in the most dangerous position in the history of our country, and that’s to a large extent because of the kind of weaponry that we’re talking about. Together we stand up to the globalists, we stand up to Marxists, we stand up to the Rhinos. The Rhinos are pretty bad because with the Rhinos you don’t exactly know where they’re coming from. The others you know, but with the Rhinos sometimes you find out, and we’ve got to stand up to the Rhinos.

(25:02)
Communists and environmental extremists. You know, have environmental extremists, too. We stand up to the open-borders fanatics, the radical left Democrats, their lawless partisan prosecutors. The prosecutors, every time I fly over a blue state, I get a subpoena, “We want him before the grand jury.” And we stand up to the fake news media, which is seriously bad.

(25:35)
And on November 5th, 2024, we’re going to stand up to the corrupt political establishment. We’re going to evict a totally corrupt President, Joe Biden, from the White House. And we’re going to finish the job that we started, the most successful presidency.

(26:12)
And I think, as everybody in this absolutely packed house knows, I’ve put everything on the line and I will never yield. I never yield. I will never be deterred. I will never stop fighting for you. I didn’t need this. I had a great life. People said, “Would you do it again?” The answer is yes because we’re going to make America great again. We had it there and then bad things happened. Bad things happened with an election, right? Bad, bad things happened, but we’re going to make it great like never before; I really believe that. With your vote, we will take back our country from these fascists and thugs, and we will absolutely make America

Donald J. Trump (27:00):

… great again. From the beginning, our America first agenda has been an existential threat to the rotten political class that gets rich and powerful at your expense, erasing our borders, cheating on elections, exporting our jobs, and squandering our blood and treasure on endless foreign wars. We were out of all our wars. Everybody said when I got elected, remember, oh, his personality. You’re going to have wars. You’re going to be fighting the whole world, and it just worked out the …

(27:35)
Actually, it was my personality that didn’t want to make people fight, it’s sort of reverse. First time in 70 years that this has happened, we started our wars. We finished some, we defeated the ISIS caliphate 100% and many other things. We rebuilt our military. Of course, they gave a lot of it away, didn’t they? Huh? They gave a lot of our military away to Afghanistan, if you can even believe it. Afghanistan is now one of the largest exporters of military arms. They sell the things that we gave to them. $85 billion. We lost 13 soldiers, many very horrifically wounded, and we left many Americans behind. They moved out the military first. No, it was supposed to be the opposite. You move out the military last.

(28:26)
They’ve launched one hoax and witch-hunt after another to try and stop our movement and thwart the will of the American people every time you have … not even believable. Witch hunt, witch hunt, scam, hoax. It’s called election interference, and they’re doing the best they can with it because who the hell would vote for them with the policies that they have of open borders and no voter ID. As the Durham Report, which just came out proved they spied in my campaign. Think of it. Can you imagine if it was the other way around? They spied in my campaign, and we caught them. They forged false evidence to get illegal surveillance warrants. The FBI offered $1 million for a fictitious dossier written by a foreign spy to try to frame me for treason. Now, they’re trying to do it again. These people don’t stop and they’re bad, and we have to get rid of them. We have to get rid of them fast. They put our country through hell, and they knew it was all a lie the entire time. They knew it was a lie. Remember, it’s not me they’re going after, it’s somebody else, and that person will not be able to withstand the fire. If it’s not me, you know it’ll be somebody else. They’re not going to withstand that fire because that fire doesn’t stop just with me. That fire is going to go on against any conservative, any Republican, and anybody other than them, because they want the power, but they actually want to destroy our country.

(29:59)
I believe that because there could be no other reason, but I know them all. And they, in many cases, even admit it. They come up, they say, “How do you take it?” We take it and we fight back like nobody’s ever fought before. Think of it. We had Russia, Russia, Russia, right? Total fake. All came out now fake. It was all made up by Hillary Clinton. The dossier was by Clinton and others, Democratic Party, DNC. So we had Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, the no collusion, Mueller witch hunt. They found after two and a half years, there was no collusion. Impeachment hoax number one, perfect phone call. Impeachment hoax number two, the illegal censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop from hell. Remember the laptop from hell? Remember that? When the 51 intelligence officials falsely said that it was Russian disinformation. Everybody knew that wasn’t true. They knew it wasn’t true. That’s become a big scandal.

(31:08)
That was another form of cheating on the election. A lot of the great pollsters, we have a couple of them here tonight, they said that the … I mean, you look at what they said about it, 17-point difference, it’s incredible. But the 51 intelligence agents lied. Now, the Marxists leftist once again using the same corrupt DOJ and the same corrupt FBI and the Attorney General and the local district attorneys to interfere in our elections at a level that our country and few countries have ever seen before. They’re cheating. They’re crooked. They’re corrupt.

(31:47)
These criminals cannot be rewarded. They must be defeated. You have to defeat them. Have to defeat them … because in the end, they’re not coming after me, they’re coming after you, and I’m just standing in their way. Here I am. I’m standing in their way, and I always will. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. The ridiculous and baseless indictment of me by the Biden Administration’s weaponized department of injustice will go down as among the most horrific abuses of power in the history of our country. Many people have said that. Democrats have even said it.

(32:45)
This vicious persecution is a travesty of justice. You’re watching Joe Briden, Joe, by think of it. Biden is trying to jail his leading political opponent and opponent that’s beating him by a lot in the polls, just like they do in Stalinist Russia or Communist China. No different. Our country’s gone very bad. And think of it, in three years … Three years ago, we were energy independent. We had no inflation. We had low taxes, we had low interest rates. We had the greatest economy in history. Think of it, I could stand up here all day long and just talk about all of the great success we had, and now we have everything’s the opposite.

(33:31)
Inflation’s killing our country. Energy is ridiculous and ridiculously high. We’re getting energy from Venezuela. Nobody can even believe it. I never thought such a thing could happen to America, as far as the joke of an indictment, it’s a horrible thing. It’s a horrible thing for this country. I mean, the only good thing about it is it’s driven my poll numbers way up. Can you believe that? Way up.

(34:00)
Now, it’s driven up way up, and somebody said the fundraising is through the roof. That’s less important. But I will tell you, it’s really driven us right through the sky. We’re really winning big. We’re winning by every … We’re beating the hell out of the Republicans, and we’re beating the hell out of Joe Biden. That’s why they’re doing it. Let me tell you, if I wasn’t, there’d be no witch hunt. There’d be no indictment. We’re winning by a lot against the Democrats. If I were losing … they’re the party of disinformation. They say, oh, oh, we want to run against Trump. We want to run so badly against Trump. And we won the first time, and then we did better the second time that we did. The first time we won by many millions of more votes, much better, not even close. We got the most votes ever in the history of our country, and today, we’re more popular than we were in 2020. We’re going to get numbers that are absolutely incredible.

(35:05)
Federal law enforcement should never have been involved in this matter, but they got involved and we just can’t let that happen. They got involved with Twitter, they got involved with Facebook. The pollsters say it made maybe a 17-point difference, and then they say, I lost. We didn’t lose. We won by a lot. But they say, I lost by 20, 000 votes, 20,000 votes. We’d come here for rallies, we’d come to other states for rallies, but we’d come into Georgia for a rally with 40, 50,000 people, they’d come in for a rally, they’d have eight. They couldn’t fill up the circles, and then you hear, “He clipped you at the end.” Just clipped you. Didn’t happen.

(35:48)
We won Alabama in a record number. We won South Carolina in a record number. Those people that run it, the professionals say it’s not possible to win Alabama in a record, South Carolina in a record, and lose Georgia just by a tiny little bit. So you got to watch that. You got to watch it. We’re all going to be watching it. And as president, all of my documents fell under what is known as the Presidential Records Act, which is not at all a criminal act, everything. It’s all judged by the Presidential Records Act. In this whole fake indictment, they don’t even once mentioned the Presidential Records Act, which is really the ruling act, which this case falls under 100% because they want to use something called the Espionage Act. Doesn’t that sound terrible? Oh, espionage. We got a box. I got a box.

(36:42)
The espionage. The Espionage Act of 1917, I think it was put in there about World War I boxes. And by the way, Biden’s got 1,850 boxes. He’s got boxes in Chinatown, DC. He’s got boxes all over the place. He doesn’t know what the hell to do with them, and he’s fighting them on the boxes. He doesn’t want to give the boxes. And then they say, “Trump is obstructing. He’s obstructing.” No, it’s a sad day for the country. Last night, I said that our country has tears because of what’s happening. We have fake elections, we have no borders. We have inflation. We have everything that’s just going wrong. There’s never been anything like it in the history of our country. We’ve never done like this. And the division is so bad because what they do is so bad, and our people are angry and they just keep doing it. And sometimes you need strength. You have to have strength more than just normal strength. And we have to get a change because we’re not going to have a country left.

(37:53)
Remember, I used to campaign and I’d say that we’re going to end up being Venezuela on steroids, and that’s exactly what’s happening to our country. Our country’s going to hell. I was going to change the name of our campaign to Keep America Great. Now, that’s not as good as MAGA. MAGA is MAGA, right? MAGA. And Keep America Great is KAG. I don’t think KAG … KAG is never going to compete with MAGA, but we couldn’t say Keep America great because our country is not great. We’re laughed at all over the world. We’re no longer respected. Three years ago we were respected like our country has never been respected before.

(38:39)
They also don’t mention the defining lawsuit that was brought against Bill Clinton and it was lost by the government, the famous Sox case that says he can keep his documents. They don’t mention that. These are minor details, and that’s the ruling law. When I left office and was moving to Florida, boxes were openly sitting on the White House sidewalk. Everybody was taking pictures of them. This is in somebody’s smuggling boxes out, pictures of them, you’ve all seen it sitting with people from GSA and other people, waiting to put them on a truck, but they were literally sitting outside of the White House waiting for a truck to come. Then the truck come. It was it for a long time, and they put it in and they brought it down to Florida. And they make it sound like it’s a big …

(39:31)
If that’s a spy operation or if that’s something bad, we did a very poor job, I will tell you. First thing you learn is don’t put them on the sidewalk in front of the White House. As a former president, we were negotiating with the National Archives and Records Administration just as every other president has done. And the next thing I knew, Mar-a-Lago was rated by gun-toting FBI agents. We were negotiating. And again, meanwhile, Biden has troves of classified documents from his time as vice president, which is much tougher actually. It’s actually a much tougher standard. And even as a senator. And the senators are not allowed to bring classified documents. And I heard a senator named Dick Durbin, you ever hear of him? Happens to be a Democrat. He was beside himself. He couldn’t believe that Biden took classified documents as a senator. It’s a no-no, a real no-no. Can’t do it. I was amazed that I saw him. I’m sure he changed his tune when he got the hell beat out of him when he went back into his beautiful marble clad office.

(40:42)
Many of Biden’s documents were in Chinatown, and many of them were in places that you don’t want to have documents. But I hear how wonderful he did. Think of it, 1,850 boxes he had, minus peanuts. But you saw mine because they were on that sidewalk. And they paid over $1 million year. He was paid by China, really, because China makes a big payment to the area where he has the vast preponderance of documents, and he makes about a million dollars a year paid by China. And these documents were strewn all over the place. And then he has documents strewn under his garage floor where he has the now famous Corvette, you know where that’s stored, his beautiful Corvette?

(41:35)
There was no security there. They had a garage door that you could cut it with a scissor. They didn’t have Secret Service. I have Secret Service all over Mar-a-Lago. And Mar-a-Lago is strong and powerful. It was actually built by Marjorie Merriweather Post and EF Hutton. Remember when EF Hutton speaks, people listen. Well, they one of the greatest ads ever, but they built it and it was built as the Southern White House actually. And Jimmy Carter gave it up. He said it was too expensive to be born by it. I said, “Thank you very much. We have to get that. Thank you, Jimmy. Thank you very much.”

(42:15)
But that was actually built as a Southern White House. It’s very powerful. But we have great people, Secret Services all over the place, and that’s the way we like it. But unlike me who had absolute declassification authority as president, Biden didn’t have any authority, and he had no right to possess those documents, none whatsoever, yet nothing happened to crooked Joe with all that many, many, many times what we have. And you know there was an article recently that all presidents take documents out. They bring them out, all of them, virtually, every one of them in fairly modern times. If you look at Hillary Clinton set up a illegal private server in her basement specifically to break public disclosure laws. And that would expose her and her family’s finances. She stored vast quantities of classified and sensitive information. Some of it leaking into Anthony Wiener. You remember him? Computer. Anthony Weiner. That was a real beauty, but much of it went into Anthony Wiener’s computer. That’s probably the last …

(43:24)
I’m not sure. I think I’d rather have it on Hunter Biden’s computer than Anthony Weiner’s computer. And when caught, Hillary deleted an acid-washed 33,000 emails in defiance of a congressional subpoena. She already had the subpoena. And her raid smashed and destroyed iPhones with a hammer. Yet the FBI and DoJ protected her. They did absolutely nothing. In Hillary’s case, the FBI and DoJ largely did not issue subpoenas. They did not use a grand jury. They did not execute search warrants. And Comey declared that there was no problem. He said, “No reasonable prosecutor would ever bring a case like that.” She knocked out 33,000 emails. And Hillary wasn’t indicted. She should have been, but she wasn’t indicted. She was protected by the Democrats. Biden was not indicted, and what he’s done is terrible. They like to say, well, what Trump did … I mean, actually, I thought it was … I was impressed. I looked so orderly and nice. Somehow somebody turned over one of the boxes. “Did you see that?” I said, “I wonder who did that? Did the FBI do that?”

(44:42)
Because they also did something where they put documents all over the floors and they took pictures and they tried to pretend like I did it, and then they had to apologize they did it. Remember that famous picture? But the box that was turned over, it had newspapers, it had pictures, it had clippings, it had all sorts of things. Nobody saw any documents there. Only Donald Trump is indicted and they take one charge and they turn it into 36 charges. You saw that. Everybody was amazed. Lawyers on television, yes, they’re not usually the best lawyers, but some are very good. They’re saying we’ve never seen anything like it. They took one charge and they made it 36 different times. And we have a thug who’s in charge. This is a political [inaudible 00:45:30]. Republicans are treated far differently at the Justice Department than Democrats. These are the same people who caused the lowest-learner catastrophe. That’s just deranged. Jack. You know who I’m talking about? Jack Smith. What do you think his name used to be? I don’t know. Does anybody have … Jack Smith. Sounds so innocent. He’s deranged, but he’s the one that caused the lowest learner catastrophe with the IRS. One of the worst things to happen in this country in many, many years going after Evangelicals and Christians and great Americans of faith, and they had to pay up and they had to pay up dearly for it when they got caught. And this is the same guy, deranged Jack Smith. And I watched him yesterday go up and talk. He talked for about two and a half minutes. He was shaking and he was so scared he didn’t want to be there because ultimately these are cowards. They’re cowards.

(46:36)
And he’s a big Trump hater. Openly, he’s a Trump hater and his wife is even more of a Trump hater. I wish you a lot of luck, but he’s a bad Trump hater, and she’s a Trump hater. And you shouldn’t put people like that in. And you know the people looking at Biden, he is a very nice man. They looked at Mike Pence, he had classified documents. No problem. They looked at Biden. He has so many classified documents, they don’t know what to do, and he is trying to prevent them from seeing it. That’s obstruction. But we didn’t do any obstruction. This is a sick nest of people that needs to be cleaned out immediately. Get them out. We now have two standards of justice in our country. The Democrat, Communists want to jail their opponents while they protect the murderers who prowl our cities day and night, and other brazen criminals. What’s happening to your beautiful Atlanta is so horrible. So horrible. People are afraid to walk outside, and no criminal is more protected than crooked Joe Biden. I retired the word crooked from Hillary because Hillary doesn’t matter anymore. And we’re using it on Biden because in history, there’s never been a president so corrupt and thing after thing. Jamie Comer, Jim Jordan. The things that those committees are finding are incredible, and nobody wants to do anything about it. They say, we’ve caught them here. 5 million here, 5 million there, 2 million here, getting paid massive amounts of money to be on the board of an energy company and admitting he knows nothing about energy. It’s really very sad. It’s no coincidence they indicted me the very same day that it was revealed that the FBI hit explosive evidence that Joe Biden took a $5 million illegal bribe from Ukraine. Right now, we don’t have any ammunition. Ukraine has our ammunition. All of it, just about …. Think of it, I rebuilt our military. We had so much ammunition. We were stuffed to the gills as the expression goes with ammunition. And now we have very little ammunition to protect ourselves. And then you see that he’s getting large amounts of money from Ukraine. And then you wonder, why are we doing this? And by the way, that war, I’d have it negotiated an end. It’s a horrible thing. In 24 hours between Zelensky and Putin, 24 hours, everyone says, oh, you don’t mean that. No, I’d have that thing done in 24 hours. Right as they’re closing on Hunter and Joe Biden, they’re closing in right now. They say, let’s do this. Let’s go after Trump. That’ll take a lot of the publicity away with too hot. That’s what they did.

(49:56)
Next, hunter will probably be charged with some very minor offense so that the FBI and DAOJ can pretend that they’re fair. They want to pretend they’re fair. We got Hunter for jaywalking while they ignore the bribery, money laundering and other massive crimes, implicating crooked Joe Biden. Right here in Georgia, you have a lunatic Marxist District Attorney of Atlanta who they say is coming after me over a perfect phone call. In fact, this call was even more perfect than the call I made to President Zelensky of Ukraine. This one is actually more perfect … where I’m complaining about the results of the election because I thought the election was … I thought the results were ridiculous, and so do many other people in this room.

(50:59)
And if you look at the numbers, and if you look at the sheets, which sadly judges don’t want to do and a lot of people don’t want to do, but when you look at it, you look at truth to vote. When you look at other things with the stuffing of the ballot boxes, when you look at some of the data that came out in this election, 2020, but elsewhere, we have a long way to go in Georgia. They tell you you don’t, but you do. You have a very, very long way to go. I had every right to complain that the election in Georgia was, in my opinion, rigged; that the election in Georgia was a disaster.

(51:56)
I mean, you had a recent election where Jody Hice congressman, very popular Congressman, ran, and he was leading in virtually every poll. Where’s Jody? Oh, Jody, stand up. Look at Jody. Wow. But Jody’s a better person than me because I really complain like hell. Jody says, “Well, we’ll get him next time.” But you know what, Jody, that was a bad, bad deal because you were leading in … was it every single poll? And leading by a lot. And the only question was whether or not you were get 50% or 49%, 50%, there’d be no runoff. 49%, there’s a runoff. And not only didn’t he get 50%, and the other person that you’re running against, Brad, was very low on the polls. And those polls … And we have some of the pollsters here, by the way. They still can’t believe it. But Jody ended up with a number. What was your final number, Jody?

Speaker 1 (53:02):

[inaudible 00:53:06].

Donald J. Trump (53:07):

Yeah, around 37%. And the other gentleman got 51% right? 51, no runoff. And then David Perdue was not losing by much. He was losing in the polls, but he wasn’t losing by much. And on election day, he was wiped out. He lost by numbers that nobody ever thought possible. Very unfair. Look, we have to have honest elections. We just have to. You don’t have a country, you don’t have a state, you don’t have a country, you don’t have anything.

(53:42)
Remember, there was a so-called water main break that never happened? Remember the water main break? Think of that. The water main break. We got a break. Let’s get in there. But that’ll be coming up later as time goes by.

Donald J. Trump (54:00):

Remember the tape? Then you have True the Vote found that Georgia was one of the most egregious states in the nation. Thousands and thousands and thousands of tapes showing a thing called good old-fashioned, right, what? Ballot stuffing. Good old-fashioned ballot stuffing. In Atlanta, people are afraid to walk to their local grocery store for a loaf of bread, for fear of being assaulted or murdered. And yet your local district attorney, Fani Willis, is spending all of her energy, all of her money, all of her time trying to get Trump. Let’s get Trump. Yeah.

(54:43)
Per capita, Atlanta is about the most dangerous city in the country. Can you believe it? And people are leaving in droves. I loved Atlanta, but they’re leaving in droves because it’s too unsafe. And they spend all their money trying to, everything the number of lawyers… they got murderers that don’t even get talked about. They have murderers that nobody even cares about. The numbers are astronomical. Beaten up, it’s horrible. And they want to go into a phone call… by the way, one thing interesting about the phone call, it was perfect. I have a right to complain about the election. With Marjorie Taylor Greene, where is Marjorie? Where is Marjorie? Marjorie Taylor Greene is here. She would say… hello, Marjorie. She’s a warrior. Oh there she is, oh look at her. How beautiful. Ah, [inaudible 00:55:43]. Want to say something?

Marjorie Taylor Greene (55:45):

I would love to.

Donald J. Trump (55:46):

Come on, say something Marjorie.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (55:51):

I want to let you all know, and this is something that you know, this is something that I know, President Trump is beating Joe Biden poll after poll after poll. He’s up seven points today. And if he were to run against Kamala Harris, he’s up 11 points, which is funny. All right Georgia, let’s get the job done in ’24. Let’s get President Trump across the line. Let’s get him back in the White House for four more years.

Audience (56:28):

Four more years, four more years, four more years, four more years.

Donald J. Trump (56:42):

Thank you. I just wish she was a little bit more aggressive. She’s great, she loves the country, she loves this state, she loves her district. She’s incredible, and she wins her district by incredible numbers. In the past three years, remember one thing when we talk about this phone call. It was perfect. It was perfect. I was complaining about the vote, Joe [inaudible 00:57:07] heard it 10 times. But when you talk about the phone call, I had many lawyers for the state and others on the other side, right Bruce? I had many lawyers on the other side listening, and I had lawyers on my side. There were many people on the call.

(57:24)
Now, I’m supposed to be a very smart person. Number one I wouldn’t do it anyway, but I sure as hell wouldn’t do it with many people on the line. But here’s what happened. So this only came up much later. We talked, they talked, we talked. I talked about how I thought the election was rigged, how I thought it was terrible and everything else. Brad Raffensperger was on the line. And a whole team of lawyers.

(57:49)
Here’s the main… look, think of this. The call was perfect, but none of those lawyers, they were state lawyers. Big ones. The biggest ones. They didn’t say, “Sir, what you said is inappropriate. Sir, you must immediately take that back sir. We cannot go any further with this call unless you take it back. What you said is horrible. We want to indict you for what you said, sir.” It was just, no, they just talked. In fact, we agreed to talk the next day because they knew I was not happy about an election that was rigged.

(58:26)
And when you had a couple of months later the two senators going up, a lot of our supporters said, “We’re not going to vote,” because they didn’t feel good about what happened. They knew. They saw all those red hats and all those bandanas, and all that stuff that was going in with Make America Great Again, America First, they’ve never seen anything like it. And we lost by a whisker. But remember this, on the call, I say it now, nobody complained. It was a long time afterwards. Nobody said, “Oh, that was…” And if they were going to plan to have to complain against me, they’d have to say, “Why did you say that sir? Why did you say that?” They’re so virginous, they’re such babies. I’m sorry. They couldn’t stand… no.

(59:10)
If they heard something wrong, they would’ve had an obligation to tell me on the phone. Nobody said that. You listen to the tape, we just continue the conversation. There was nothing that was said wrong. I was complaining about an election that I think was rigged, and the day that you’re not allowed to complain to the proper authority, and the day you’re not allowed to complain an election, then we are indeed communist China. But just remember that for the reporters and the fake news. You got a lot of fake news back there. A lot of people back there. A lot of people outside. But for the fake news back there, nobody complained about the call. Nobody said, “Oh, this is a terrible thing, what you said sir. Breaks my heart to hear this sir, it breaks my heart.”

(59:58)
No, these are professionals. They’re very good actually at what they do, for a lot of other reasons perhaps. But these are professionals. These were lawyers. These were people that would’ve spoken up. Even my people would’ve spoken up. “Sir I’m sorry, you’re not allowed to say that, or you shouldn’t say that.” Nobody spoke up. There were many lawyers on the line and many people. It’s just ridiculous what’s going on.

(01:00:19)
In the meantime, Atlanta has the highest per capita rate of crime as I told you. The highest. Just about the worst in the entire nation for people getting murdered, and those people go free. But they’re looking for Trump because of a perfect phone call. You have 71%, if you think of it, 71% right now, increase from last year. 71% increase in homicides in Atlanta, and it now ranks among the highest murder rates anywhere in the nation, and all they want to do is persecute Republicans and a person named Trump, who did a great job as president I have to say. But it’s very much like the attorney general of New York and the district attorney of Manhattan, and everybody, all these legal pundits, a lot of them are really good and they’re saying what a ridiculous indictment that was. That was the craziest indictment they’ve ever seen. There’s no crime. In fact they said, if he lost, he gets no jail. Thank goodness. This is what they’re doing, and they’re going to spend $200 million on prosecuting a crime where there’s no crime. There was no crime, nothing done there either. But they just want to get Donald Trump. The attorney general of New York, Letitia James, she campaigned, “I will get Trump. We’re going to get him.” She doesn’t even know me. Never met her. Never met the young lady. “We’re going to get her.”

(01:01:51)
He said Peekaboo James. Now that’s not nice, Bruce. No, but think of it. She campaigned, ” We are going to get Donald Trump. If I win, we’re going to get him.” She knew nothing about me. I have a great company, I built an unbelievable company. That’s their problem, we built a company that’s really valuable but private, you don’t talk about it. And unbelievable company, but they’re going to get Donald Trump. Paid millions and millions and millions of dollars in taxes in New York, and they’re going to get me. No, these are sick people. These are sick people.

(01:02:31)
Our law enforcement has become weaponized at a level never seen before. The stakes of this election could not be more stark. Either we have a deep state, or we have a democracy. We’re going to have one or the other, and we’re right at the tipping point. Right now we’re way leaning toward deep state, but deep state isn’t strong enough. It’s really a communist country, a Marxist country. Deep state’s not strong enough. Deep state now is a nice term compared to what we’re doing. Either we have a failed country or we have a free and successful country, and either they win or we win. It’s very simple. They win or we win.

(01:03:15)
When I look at Atlanta, when I see what happened to Atlanta over a very short period of time, and then you have these people looking at this junk. But when I look at what happened to Atlanta in terms of safety, this was a great city at one point, and now people are fleeing Atlanta. And they’re fleeing New York, and they’re fleeing Chicago, and they’re fleeing Los Angeles. They’re fleeing Democrat-run cities essentially. San Francisco, one of the greatest cities in the world, and now it’s seriously troubled.

(01:03:46)
At the end of the day, either the communists win and destroy America, or we destroy the communists, because that’s what they are. They may go by a different name. Fascists, Marxist. Never forget what the demented persecution of our movement is all about. It’s a demented persecution. Our enemies are desperate to stop us, because they know that we are the only ones who are going to be able to stop them. We stopped them. We had them stopped cold, and they cheated like a bunch of dogs on the election. I promise you this, and I say it all the time. We had a great 2016, but we did much better in 2020. I say it again and again, because the fake news doesn’t want to report that. They never want to report it. What happened in 2020? Well I said, I got millions more votes. “Well I never thought of it that way sir, let’s get to another question.” If you put me back in the White House, their reign will be over and America will be a free nation again. Thank you. I stand before you today as the only candidate who has what it takes to smash this corrupt system. This is a corrupt system. I mean, they go after me, nobody’s ever been gone after like… I’ve had that from everybody. “Sir, this has never happened to anybody.” Now they’ll do it to other people if somebody is doing what I’m doing, but the other people are going to fold. You know who they are. They’re going to fold very quickly. We don’t fold. We don’t fold our tent and go home.

(01:05:44)
And again, we want to drain the swamp, and I’m the only one that’s going to do it. Nobody else is going to do it. We know the competition. We know it. Anyone else would be absolutely ripped to shreds. These are sick, sick, sinister people. It’s no wonder the swamp is getting truly desperate, as they see us leading big poll after big poll after big poll. And this week’s Morning Consult poll just came out. We lead the field by 24 points, with Trump at 56, DeSanctimonious at 22, Pence at 7, Haley at 3. And the Clarity Campaign Poll, I don’t know that poll but I love it. It’s a big deal actually, a lot of people they interview. We’re up by 56 points. Trump is at 69, DeSanctimonious is at 13, Pence is at 6, but Pence has gone down since his last. Sadly, because he’s a nice person. He’s trying to get nasty though, so we may have to fight a different way. All of a sudden, you notice that? All of a sudden you’re getting a little bit nasty, Mike.

(01:07:04)
In the Emerson Poll of Iowa, we love Iowa. Look, we got $28 billion for the farmers from China. Think of it, China gave us $28 billion because they abused our farmers throughout the country. I got them to pay 28 billion for the farmers. And I said there’s no way we’re losing Iowa. I don’t want to sound too confident, because strange things happen in politics. Like you endorse people and then they run against you two days later. Strange things happening. You endorse people, you get them elected, you get people that had no chance. They’re dead, their career is over. You get involved, you endorse them, you do other things. You get them up, they win the election in a landslide, and then they say, “We’re looking forward to running against Trump.” Oh, that’s nice. Now they’re not looking so forward to it anymore.

(01:07:55)
But in the Emerson Poll of Iowa, we’re leading by 42 points with Trump at 62%, and we’re leading crooked Joe Biden, most crooked president in the history of our country by a lot. In the recent Fabrizio Swing State Poll of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, we’re at almost 50%. We’re leading Biden by five. In the ABC Washington Post poll, I’m up by seven points over Biden. And a new poll from Democracy Institute shows I’m the only candidate who beats crooked Joe. That’s hard to believe, because frankly who the hell wouldn’t beat him? The country’s going to hell. They have an automatic constituency, the Democrats. It’s not that easy. But DeSanctis loses to him by a lot. With each passing day, more Americans are joining our patriotic movement. Together we’ve achieved more than any person ever thought possible.

(01:09:02)
And this was from 2016. When I announced in 2015 everyone said, “Oh, what? He has no experience.” And they were right about that actually. The hell did I know? I said, where the hell is China? And then I proceeded to take more money out of China’s hide than any president that has. But we deliver the largest tax cuts and regulatory cuts in history, more so than the Reagan tax cuts which were great. We built the greatest economy in the history of the world. We achieved energy independence, soon to be energy dominance for the first time in 64 years, and gas prices were at $1.87 a gallon. We actually had them lower than that for a little while, but I had to get them up. We were going to lose the oil companies. They were going so low they were getting killed.

(01:10:02)
But now they want to give you all electric cars, isn’t that wonderful? Does anybody want to drive for an hour and then wait four hours to get a recharge? We’ll end that. First day in office I’ll be ending all of that. You want an electric car that’s great, but if you want other types of vehicles where you can actually drive for a long period of time, that’s good too. You’re going to be able to have your choice. And if you want a gas stove or an electric stove, you’re going to have your choice. And if you want to have a dishwasher that actually lets water come out… I did that, the people came to see me. Wonderful people, Whirlpool and some people they, from Ohio. I love Ohio, we won Ohio so big. Those people are great in Ohio. Very much like you actually. Great people. And they said, “Sir, China and South Korea are dumping washing machines, they’re dumping dryers, they’re dumping everything. They’re killing us. We’re going to probably go out of business.” I met with the chairman of the company and I said wow, that’s not good. And I put a big fat tariff of 50% on all of that stuff, and now they’re one of the most thriving companies in the country. They were going to go out. That’s one of the reasons they like me in Ohio. We saved it. They were selling machines that weren’t as good, but they were selling machines for so little that it was very unfair. And I think they were doing it on purpose to drive them out. You know what they do, they drive them out of business then they quadruple the price, and you have to buy their product because you have no choice. I can’t believe they get away with this stuff.

(01:11:48)
But they don’t get away with it with us. We created the most secure border in US history, built hundreds of miles of border wall. Hundreds and hundreds of miles. Got Mexico to give us 28,000 soldiers free of charge. Said to the president, I really like the president of Mexico a lot. He’s great. He’s a socialist, but you can’t have everything. But we got along great. But I said to Mexico, “You have to give us 28,000 on the border because you’re letting a lot of people in.” They looked at me like, is this guy crazy? They said, “No, we won’t do that.” One of their representatives, top person, good man. The State Department laughed when I said it. A woman was wonderful, she said, ” I’ve been trying to get things like that for 25 years sir. It’s not doable.” I said, “You want to bet? Bet you anything you want it’s doable. It’s going to be easy, it’ll take me minutes.” “It’s not doable.”

(01:12:41)
So I met with him, came in, I said, “We need 28,000 soldiers. We want to have a policy of remain in Mexico. We don’t want them to come, they’re going to remain in Mexico until they get approved.” We did all sorts of policies having to do with Title 42. You’re sick, you can’t come into our country. Everything. But I said, ” You’re going to have to do it.” He said, “No sir, we’re not going to be doing that.” I said, “Here’s what I’m doing. I’m putting a 25% tariff on everything that’s sold in Mexico that comes into our country on Monday morning.” It was Friday. “And I’m signing it before your very eyes. Here, I’m going to sign it. Would you watch? Goes into effect on Monday morning.” This was on a Friday. He said, “May I be excused for just a minute? I’d like to make a phone call.” I wonder who he called. He called my friend, who is really a good person by the way, and loves his country. And he came back into the room within five minutes and he said, “Sir it would be our honor to give you 28,000 soldiers free of charge.”

(01:13:44)
And we had the safest border in the history of our country by far, and that means drugs and human trafficking, which is mostly in women I hate to say. Human trafficking, you think of it as an ancient crime, it’s not. It’s not. The internet’s made it bigger than it’s ever been, but we stopped, we put that to a level that hasn’t been seen in decades. And drugs were down. Now they’re 11 times more of them coming in, just three… 11 times more. They’re pouring in. Fentanyl. And we terminated another thing called Catch and Release. We catch them in our country and then we release them in our country. What a great policy, Catch and Release. We ended that. Think of it, Catch and Release, so Democrats, you catch them in the United States. They could be the worst criminals you’ve ever seen, and we release them in the United States. I said, what the hell kind of a policy is that? So that ended also.

(01:14:40)
We did a great job, but just as I promised, I ended the disaster known as NAFTA. The worst trade deal ever made, and replaced it with the USMCA, the best trade deal perhaps ever made, and a massive victory for our farmers and for your Georgia farmers and your manufacturers, USMCA. You know how I know it’s great? Because they want to renegotiate the deal. Mexico and Canada, they want to renegotiate the deal. They’re trying to renegotiate it with the Biden administration, and I just say to those in the Biden administration, all of whom are listening right now by the way, don’t do it. Don’t do it. They took advantage of years and years, now we have a deal where frankly, it’s a much better deal for us than it is for them. Don’t renegotiate the deal. It’s great though, what we did is great.

(01:15:30)
Isn’t it nice, where they want to renegotiate a deal for a change? Because these countries always rip us off. I used to look at some of the deals that were made. They were so bad. I said, do these people like our country that are making these horrible deals? I stood up to China like no administration has ever done before, and I made people aware that China was ripping us off. Nobody knew that. They said, “Oh, China is so wonderful.” Bringing hundreds of billions of dollars pouring into the treasury from China with taxes and tariffs, where no other president had ever gotten 10 cents, not 10 cents from China.

(01:16:05)
Working with our Secretary of Agriculture, Sunny Perdue from your state, good man. We negotiated more than 50 trade agreements to boost exports exports by billions and billions of dollars for the American farmer. We appointed nearly 300 federal judges and three great Supreme Court Justices. Gotten some great rulings. Oh, they would go crazy every time they saw me appointing a Supreme Court Judge. I fully rebuilt the US military. We had more ammunition than at any time, and as I said before, now we have almost none. I imposed a powerful travel ban to keep radical Islamic terrorists and radical jihadists the hell out of our country. Took a lot of heat. They said no, let them come in. Oh, really? Why do you want them to come in? Why do you want them to come in? Let them come in, why? Tell me, please tell me why.

(01:17:10)
And if you just take a look at those four years, how did we do on that front? We did great. We accomplished all of this and more in just that short period of time. And just imagine what we can accomplish in the next four years. We can make our country greater than ever before. We have some big obstacles. One of the biggest obstacles I think is that we will have, I believe, 15 million people in our country from prisons and mental institutions and everything. We’ve got some rough ones, some real rough ones. We’ve got to get them out. We’ll do it, we’ve got to get them out.

(01:17:55)
Just some of the bold agenda I’ll put into effect when we become the 47th President of the United States. Before I even arrive at the Oval Office, shortly after I win the presidency, I will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine settled, and we’ll do it quickly. We’ll do it quickly. I know them both very well, we’ll get it done fast. Would’ve never happened if I was president, by the way. All those people that are dead would be alive today. All those cities that are burned and shot to the ground, missiles going into every building, knocking the hell out of them. And then they say, “Two people were hurt.” No, many, many people were killed. The numbers are far worse than you hear about. You see them knock out like 12 missiles going to… buildings collapsing all over the place, and they say two people were injured. No, no. Hundreds and even thousands of people were killed in those attacks individually, and hundreds of thousands of people are being killed. Ill get it done very quickly, before I ever get to office.

(01:19:03)
You need the power of the Oval Office to be able to do it. You need that, but I’ll get it done very quickly if it’s still going on, which is hard to believe it could continue. It’s a horrible, horrible disgusting war. I’m the only candidate who can make this promise. I will promise World War III. I will prevent it. And now people believe it, too. And without me it will happen. This won’t be a conventional war with army tanks going back and forth shooting each other. This will be nuclear war, this will be obliteration. Perhaps obliteration of the entire world. I will prevent it. Nobody else can say that. I know all the players. I deal with them, and I dealt with them very successfully, and they respected your president, and they respected your country. And now they don’t have any respect for your president or your country.

(01:19:59)
To stop the Marxist prosecutors who release rapists and murderers while persecuting conservatives, I will direct a completely over… and this is so important, so important. A completely overhauled DOJ to investigate every radical DA in America for their illegal racist and reverse enforcement of the law.

Audience (01:20:22):

USA, USA, USA.

Donald J. Trump (01:20:30):

I will immediately cancel every open borders policy of the Biden administration. You can come into our country, but you have to come in legally. Under Biden, other countries are emptying out their prisons, insane asylums, and mental institutions, and dumping everyone right here in the good old USA, following the Eisenhower model. People don’t realize but Dwight Eisenhower was very, very tough on this issue. The

Donald J. Trump (01:21:00):

Toughest. Very, very tough. You don’t think of him as being that way, but he was very tough on this issue. We will use all necessary state, local, federal, and military resources to carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American history. When you look at the crime statistics and you see the crime, tremendous amounts of crime are pouring into our country, but we’ll get the bad ones out very fast. We’ll be working with the local police, they know every bad one. And we’re going to give the police back the respect and honor that they deserve. I will ask every state and federal agency to identify every known or suspected gang member in America, and every one of them that is illegally will be picked up and will be sent back to the country from which they came.

(01:22:04)
And to further deter illegal immigration I will sign a day one executive executive order, we’re going to do an executive order day one, so important, ending automatic citizenship for children of illegal aliens. Under the Biden administration, illegal aliens are treated better than our vets. Okay? Not going to happen. And because we’re so open armed and stupid, please come. They come. If you said you can’t come, they won’t come. That’s why I was very successful. I said, “No, we’re not going to allow you to come in.” And we really had it stopped. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it.

(01:22:53)
I was talking to Brandon Judd, head of Border Patrol and Tom Holman, an absolute classic Tom Holman. You see Tom, central casting. But these guys are total pros and we were talking recently and they can’t believe what’s happened, but we can clog it up in about two weeks and really almost complete the job because we want people to come into our country, but we want them to come in legally. We want to know who they are, where they’re from, what problems do they bring. Are they murderers? “We’d rather not have you, sir, I’m sorry. You murdered four people. If you don’t mind, we’d rather not have you.”

(01:23:31)
To save our economy from Joe Biden’s inflation catastrophe and economic disaster. I will deliver tax cuts, energy price cuts and interest rates cuts the likes of which you have never seen before except in the Trump administration, actually. We will pass the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act, which means if a foreign country charges tariffs or taxes on our products, we will charge their products at the exact same rate. It’s called an eye for an eye. Now, some of these politicians, India is very high on tariffs and China is unbelievably high, Brazil is high, a lot of them are high. And I go to some of the politicians, we had a senator from a great state in Pennsylvania who no longer ran because I wouldn’t give him the endorsement. This guy fought me all the time. I said, “Let me ask you something Toomey,” I said, “Let me ask you, Toomey, let me ask you this question. If China’s charging us 150% tariff and we’re selling the same product and we charge them nothing, would it be okay if we charge them 150?” “No, sir. That’s not free trade.” “Okay, how about they charge us 150? How about we charge 100%?” “No, sir.” “How about 50? How about 10?” “No, sir. No sir, no sir.” I said, how stupid is this? Or is he representing them in some way?

(01:25:07)
And all I say is reciprocal trade. If they charge us, we charge them. Now what will happen, a lot of them will just drop it. And if they don’t, that’s okay too because we’ll charge them the same thing. We’ll take in billions and billions and hundreds of billions of dollars. Reciprocal trade. I spoke to a couple of senators, it’s not their thing, business is not their thing and I described the reciprocal trade. They said, “Okay, let me get this straight. So they charge us, right?” “Yeah.” “And they charge us, and then we charge them the same thing if they don’t take it off?” “Yeah, that’s right.” “You got my vote.” Pretty simple, isn’t it?

(01:25:49)
It’ll make a difference like you wouldn’t believe, and it’ll also bring back a lot of money into our country and a lot of jobs back into our country, but we’ll also probably be putting a border tax. These countries come into raid our country, they steal our country. They’re stealing it. If you look at Germany with their cars, they don’t take our cars, we take their cars. And I did a lot of changes, but we have to do something because they don’t take our cars. I asked Angela Merkel, “Angela, how many Chevrolets do you have in the middle of Berlin?” “Why I believe nothing.” I said, “You’re right. You have nothing.” How many Mercedes Benzs and BMWs do we have? It’s like you can’t even see without seeing them all over our highways. They’re very good cars. But you know what? They’ve got to be fair and they’re not fair because they think we’re stupid. That’s the only reason. They think we’re so stupid. Our leaders have been stupid for so many years. We’re giving away our country.

(01:26:43)
We have $36 trillion in debt. We can wipe out that debt by being smart and also by being energy dominant. We will make so much money. We make so much money and sell it to countries that don’t have liquid gold under their feet. We have more liquid gold… I call it liquid gold because that’s what it’s better than gold. We have more liquid gold under our feet than any other country in the world. Nobody knows that. I did something called ANWR in Alaska, probably the biggest find ever. I think it’s bigger than Saudi Arabia, but it’s at least similar, but could be bigger. The first day in office… By the way, Reagan tried to get it, he couldn’t get it done. Other presidents tried to get it, they couldn’t get it done. The first day in office, they terminated it. This was going to make Alaska into something like nobody’s ever seen before. But the biggest beneficiary would’ve been the United States of America. We would’ve been selling that oil to Japan, to China all over the world we would’ve been selling it, but we will get that back and we’ll do things.

(01:27:50)
But nobody could get it approved. Friend of mine called, he said, “I can’t believe you got ANWR.” Ronald Reagan could not do it. I will revoke China’s most favored nation trade status. Can you believe it? They get our most favored. Because they say, “We’re a growing country. We’re a developing nation,” they call it. “We are a developing nation. So we need a big advantage over the…” Well, we are a developing nation also, if you think we are developing, we’re developing in the wrong way, we’re going in the wrong way. That’s how we’re developing. We’re going to turn it around. I will gain total independence from China and we’ll work with China. We’ll have a great relation. I had a great relationship with President Xi until COVID hit our shores, and that was just too much. We actually made an incredible trade deal with China, I don’t even talk about it because COVID was so bad. What came out of Wuhan, the Wuhan labs, and I said that right from the beginning. I never changed.

(01:28:50)
Just like I was right about LIV Golf. Was I right about LIV Golf? I was right. I said, “You better make a deal. You guys, the golfers. You better make a deal.” I was right. I called that one exactly right, didn’t I? Because if they merge, if you don’t make a deal you’re not going to get anything. And a lot of guys got left out in the cold. But I called this one, much more importantly, I called this one, and I’ll hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable for unleashing the China virus upon the world. And unlike my competitor, who I got elected, by the way, Ron DeSanctimonious who voted to gut Medicare and voted to gut Social Security three times and to raise the retirement age to 70, that’s a big increase. I will always protect Medicare and social security for our great nation.

(01:29:53)
It’s one thing about a politician, they can lie during a campaign but when a guy wanted to decapitate Medicare and Social Security… And you earned those things, you know, earned them for long time, you’ve earned them. But when a guy wants to do it and then they run and they said, “No, we don’t want to do it. We’re only kidding. No, we don’t want do it.” They always go back to doing it. I see that with politicians. It’s sort of like when somebody’s a never Trumper, and then we win and they come and they just absolutely kiss my ass. “Please sir, please. I love you very much. I love you.” So we give them a shot. They always end up being a never Trumper. I don’t know. When they’re bad, they’re bad.

(01:30:37)
But the truth is with politicians, I did know politicians long before I actually officially ran for office because I dealt with a lot of politicians. But when a politician has an idea to hurt Social Security, make the age 70, hurt Medicare, 100% they go back to it after the election. 100%. So you can vote for Ron DeSanctimonious because he voted three times to destroy. He also wants to put a national sales tax of 23% on all of our citizens. And you don’t want that. That’s very bad for people that don’t have a lot of money. You’re going to be paying the same sales tax as rich people. I don’t think that’s going to work too well. But he wanted to do that, and he fought hard to do it because he’s a disciple of Paul Ryan and Paul Ryan is a disaster. You don’t want any disciples of Paul Ryan.

(01:31:32)
I will immediately sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content on our children. And likewise, I will immediately take care of this, I will keep men out of women’s sports. Who believes I even have to say this, can you imagine having to say this? Where did this country go? Where did their minds go? They got blown up by drugs or something. I will sign a law prohibiting child sexual mutilation in all 50 states. Now, can you believe it? Sexual mutilation.

(01:32:39)
And one of the big things, I hate to even say because it’s so ridiculous, can you imagine saying this 10, 15 years ago, I will give you back your parental rights. Parental rights. Who wouldn’t have parental rights? Can you believe you have to even say this? I will give you back your parental rights. If they could have gone back 15 years and somebody heard that statement being made, they say, “No, no, that’s crazy to make a statement like that. Of course, they have parental rights.” You can have your parental rights back.

(01:33:04)
In addition, I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or mask mandate from kindergarten through college. And as I announced this week to continue my long record of standing up to big pharma, I will establish a special presidential commission to investigate what is causing the decades long increase in childhood diseases, autoimmune disorders, autism, obesity, infertility, and other chronic health problems. Where is it all coming from? Where is it all coming from? We started a big program, but they ended it very quickly. Where is it all coming from?

(01:33:52)
To uphold our Second Amendment I’ll ask Congress to put a bill on my desk delivering national concealed carry reciprocity. And I will protect innocent life just as I did for four strong years. Four strong years. Bring back free speech in America, that’s what we have to do. We’re going to bring back free speech. Right now we’re a country that doesn’t know what’s happening. We’re a country that hasn’t been given free speech. And when you watch the coverup of the fake news media of crimes that are being had where Biden steals money and they don’t want to have it. This would’ve been the biggest story 20, 25 years ago, maybe much closer than that, the things that they’re revealing and are being revealed would’ve been front page news, everybody would’ve wanted a fake Pulitzer Prize because a Pulitzer Prize deal is fake.

(01:34:51)
How about this? I’m suing the Pulitzer Foundation because they gave the Pulitzer Prize to reporters for their accurate and magnificent and beautiful reporting on Russia, Russia, Russia. They were exactly wrong. It was a hoax. So therefore, they should give back to the Pulitzer Prizes. So let’s see how that one turns out there. They got a tough one there. They gave out the Pulitzer Prize to people that wrote about Russia, Russia for their wonderful reporting, they were exactly wrong on their reporting. So we’ll see how that turns out.

(01:35:25)
Finally, to restore pride in our history and confidence in our future I will lead a massive yearlong salute to America to celebrate the 250th anniversary of July 4th, 1776, July 4th, 1776. Big, big time.

Crowd (01:35:47):

USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA-

Donald J. Trump (01:36:06):

Thank you. Thank you. That’s nice to hear that. Some people like to use other dates. You don’t mind. I’m going to stick with that one. Is that okay? This is what we must do to restore our country to greatness. The USA is a mess. Our economy is crashing. Inflation is out of control. China, Russia, Iran, North Korea have formed together and they’re menacing and destructive coalition and force. Our currency is crashing and will soon no longer be the world’s standard, that’s like losing a war. It’ll be the greatest defeat for our country in 200 years if that happens. People don’t know how big that is. But it won’t happen with me, not even a chance. Just like Russia would never have happened with Ukraine and China. Would not even being having a thought about raiding Taiwan.

(01:37:01)
Some Democrats said last week, “Well, how do we know?” And this wonderful announcer, this wonderful pundit said, “Well, he was there four years. We never heard anything about it. They never talked about it.” I talked to Putin. I talked to President Xi, President Putin. I said, “You’re not going to do it.” They never even brought it up. Now, as soon as I leave they’ve got bombers flying over Taiwan. Ukraine is one of the worst things anyone’s ever seen. It’s just a mess. What a shame. What a shame. What a shame. All those lives are lost.

(01:37:33)
If you took the worst five presidents in the history of the United States and added them up, they would not have done near the destruction to our country as Joe Biden and the Biden administration have done. They wouldn’t. What they’ve done to our country. We are a failing nation. We are a nation in decline. And now these radical left lunatics want to interfere with our elections by using law enforcement. We’re not going to let it happen. It’s totally corrupt and we can’t let it happen. This is the final battle. This is the most important election we’ve ever had. With you at my side, we will demolish the communist, the fascists, the Marxists, the deep state, whatever you want to call them. We will expel the warmongers from our government. They’ll start a war every week. They’ll start a war. We don’t want wars. We can’t afford wars, and we don’t want death. We want to keep people living, whether it’s here or other countries. We don’t want to kill people for no reason.

(01:38:43)
We will drive out the globalists. We will cast out the communists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country and wants to destroy our country. We will route the fake news media, they don’t want to talk about anything. If the Democrats do something bad, they will not write it. You can’t have a scandal. If the fake news won’t talk about it, they don’t want to talk about it. The job that they’re doing in Congress is so amazing, Jamie and Jim and all of the people together, but the news doesn’t want to pick it up. These are the biggest scandals ever in the history of our country. Where a President of the United States, is being paid off. And to try and deflect that, he said, “Let’s try and arrest a president that served before him,” and had an unbelievable success record. A record like a really very few presidents, if any, have ever had over a four-year period. Think of it.

(01:39:47)
And then we get 12 to 14 million more votes than we got the first time. And they were saying that, “Of you get the same 63 million votes, sir, you can’t lose. The pollsters are right there sitting right there. You can’t lose, sir.” Well, we got millions and millions of more votes, and they say, we lost, but we didn’t lose. You know that. They used COVID to cheat. They use COVID to cheat. Mail in ballots, by the way, will always be dishonest. Jimmy Carter, very nice man, he had a commission and his commission said the one thing, “Please, please never use mail-in ballots. Your elections will be fraudulent.” France went to paper ballots, same day voting, voter ID. They had 36 million people voting recently. By 10:00 in the evening, the election was over. You had a winner, you had a loser, and that was the end of it. And they used to do mail-in ballots, but they ended it because it was so corrupt. It’s going to be corrupt.

(01:41:02)
I would never say this about our mailman because we love our mailman, but whether it’s the mailman or all the many people that touch those ballots, they find them in rivers, they find them in streams, they find them all over the place. Many people got many ballots. You all know the stories. Everyone knows, and the Democrats know it’s no good. But France ended it. Many other countries ended it. In Canada they do a different system, they have paper ballots. So we have to think about that because, again, you don’t have borders, you don’t have fair elections. You don’t have a country. You don’t have a country. We’ll expose the RINOs, we’ll defeat Joe Biden, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all. The silent majority is rising. And under our leadership the forgotten man and women will never be forgotten again. They’re never going to be forgotten again. We said that in 2016. And in 2016, the border was a big issue, and I did such a good job that in 2020 we couldn’t mention the border because nobody thought about the border because we had such a good border. Can you believe it? I used to talk about “The border, the border, the border.” Everybody would fall asleep because we had the strongest border, the most secure border that we’ve ever had in the history of our country, and now it’s worse than it’s ever been. This makes 2016, when I took over, look like child’s play. And we’re not going to let it happen. We’re not going to let millions of people come into our country that shouldn’t be here. With your help, your love, and your prayers, we will make America great again.

(01:42:40)
And I just want to thank the great people of Georgia. You’ve been an incredible state for me and so many friends. And I want to see you live and enjoy your state. We don’t want to see people murdered, many a day. We don’t want to see it. We want strength. We want to pay great respect to our police. We want to cherish our police and our firemen and all the people that make it safe, not destroy their lives if they happen to do something that perhaps… Because they make mistakes, and there’s always some bad ones, no matter what you do. But we cannot let our country go to hell. These cities are worse than war zones. We have to let the police do the job that they know how to do, and they know how to do it brilliantly, but we have to cherish them. We have to make them heroes again. We have to make them heroes again.

(01:43:38)
So, for Atlanta and from all of these cities, all of these cities all over the country that are rotting away and becoming cesspools of murder, we’re going to do something that’s going to be very strong, and we’re going to stop the crime wave because this crime wave will not let our country exist. You can’t lose these great cities, these great powerful, beautiful cities with gorgeous buildings and all of the things, and right down on the sidewalk everybody’s being murdered and beat up and mugged. We’re not going to let it happen. Thank you very much, everybody. It’s a great honor to be here. Thank you. Thank you.
