mr. trump: thank you, thank thousands of proud, hard-working, god-fearing american patriots like you are. with your help, we are going to win michigan this november. we are going to elect mike rogers to the u.s. senate, and we are going to defeat crooked joe biden, and we are going to make america great again. last week, we saw numbers showing clearly that the economy is crashing with gdp growing and plunging and all over the place. nobody knows what is happening, especially biden, but gdp was plunging by more than 50% this year in the first quarter. it nobody has seen anything like that. we have a thing called stagflation. it is not good. it is worse than deflation and inflation.

a typical which spells the death of the american dream and that doesn't even include some of the horrible numbers we're seeing flowing in from poor and crime ridden countries right across our southern border. they're coming in by the millions, that's why this november the people of michigan are going to tell crooked joe biden, you are fired, get out of here. the worst president in our history has never been anybody like him in the past three years the average michigan family has lost $30,000. $30,000 thanks to the biden inflation tax, we have a new term. it is called inflation tax. we call it the biden inflation tax. that's what's happened

, record kinds of inflation and his price hikes are continuing to drain nearly $1,000 from the typical family each month loses $11,000 on other different taxes . . that's what he's done to you and by the way for the auto workers , we'll talk about it later, your cars are all going to be made in china. congratulations, it is the dumbest thing i have ever seen. chicken is at 24%, baby food is up 30%, eggs are up 50%, gasoline is up 54%, airfares are up 33% and the 30-year mortgage rate just hit 7.6%. when i left, it was 2.6%, we had no inflation, everything was so good. bidenomics's warfare on low-income people. if it is -- it is a disaster.

if joe biden winds, the middle class loses. if trump wins, the middle class wins, and america wins. that is what is going to happen. that is what is going to happen. just days ago, joe vowed to impose the largest tax in the history of america. it is going to be the biggest tax hike in the history of america. biden said the trump tax cuts are "going to expire and i am not going to renew them if i am reelected." he had no idea what he was saying so doesn't really matter. that means under biden, a single individual earning $75,000 a year will see an almost $2000 tax hike and a family of four earning $165,000 will see

$3000 in tax hikes over and above what you're paying now but instead of a biden middle-class tax increase, i will deliver a trump middle-class tax cut the likes of which you have never seen before. and i already give you the largest tax cut in the history of our country, larger than the reagan tax cuts many years ago. you got the largest tax cuts in history. on day one, we will throw out bidenomics and reinstate a thing called maganomics. i will terminate joe biden's radical plan to kill michigan's economy by repealing his insane electric vehicle mandate, it s that the craziest thing? everybody is going to have an electric vehicle, think of that, by 2030. he wants everyone to have an

electric vehicle. there is a problem. they are very expensive and they don't go far. the not going far as not good and also, they are not going to be made in michigan. they are going to be made in china. every single one is going to be made in china. united auto workers, i just want to tell you, the head of the united auto workers has really let you down to agree with that whole situation that they just did. that is so good for china and so bad for michigan. but i'm going to turn it around. we are going to put tariffs on foreign cars and we are bringing the car industry -- we are putting tariffs on foreign cars, bringing the car industry back to michigan. the biden electric vehicle mandate will be an economic bloodbath. you know, they like to use that word, bloodbath, now. they make it sound bad but it will be an economic bloodbath. crooked joe, we will rip out -- crooked joe will rip out your auto jobs and send them immediately to china.

by the way, he is a manchurian candidate. he makes a lot of money from china. they give him a lot of money. what is that all about? under the trump administration we're going to take jobs out of , china and bring jobs back to michigan. we're going to keep chinese cars the hell out of america, we don't want them. we don't want chinese cars. joe biden wants to take your gasoline powered cars and in six years make them electric. it doesn't work. if you want an electric car, that's great, i am all for it. but if you want a gasoline combustion or a hybrid, whatever the hell you want you should be able to get. everything will go to very expensive electric vehicles, which don't go. and they just have such problems but they have one problem that is insurmountable, if i want to drive from michigan let's say to

mar-a-lago, what do i have to do , stop about seven times? it's ridiculous. the whole thing is ridiculous. they want to turn army tanks all electric so that as we go into enemy territory shooting and shooting and killing and shooting and taking it over we keep their air nice and clean. right? keep that nice. what do they think? i said something for, i just left wisconsin, we had an incredible rally in wisconsin. i got to do two of these things a day, you know why, because i am in new york all the time with the biden trial. biden trial. a fake trial. all the legal scholars say it is a disgrace, a fake trial, they do it to try to take your powers away, try and take your candidate way that is killing them in the polls. if i did not run or if i was in

in fourth place or fifth-place or not doing well, none of those trials would exist but we are , beating them so big in the polls your heart is going to swell. we got to get them out. and remember this, they also want to take your gas stoves, they want to give you very little water in your dishwashers and your washing machines. you know, they want washing machines with very little water and i'm talking about in states like your state you don't have a water problem. you do have a water problem. you have too much water, they want to take your water out of your washing machines your dishwashers they want to put water restrictors on sinks and showers. you know i ended all of that. , people would buy a new home and they were so proud and they'd say, darling, it's so good there's only one problem darling the sink, no water comes out. drip, drip, drip. darling i have beautiful hair ,, but i can't do anything because in the shower the water

doesn't come out. darling, i want to get out of this house. i hate it. and i say to them, take off the restrictor, but now they made , the restrictor where you can't take it off unless you have a blowtorch. they want your apartments and homes with small windows and any kind of crazy thing they can think of. they don't want you to have large windows because they are not as good with the sun. in many cases, they are better. i will end this ridiculous quality of life destroying mandates, just as i did just three and a half years ago. and crooked joe biden finalized the radical rewrite of title ix education rules that will impose the most extreme left-wing gender ideology on every school in america. and i know you will be extremely happy to know that the new biden policy is to let men into every girls bathroom. that sounds reasonable. every bathroom, every locker

room, ladies, get ready, because the men are coming in. they actually signed it. you know, i said in wisconsin, i just came out and i that the republican party really is the party of common sense, you know we are conservatives and were , -- we are all that. but whether you are conservative, you are liberal, it's about common sense. we want strong vote -- strong borders and low interest rates and powerful military and we want to have great by the way it is windy as hell up here. man. i'm getting very little use out of these stupid teleprompters. could you imagine if biden was up here and the teleprompters didn't work? he is no good even when they do work.

and still, that did not work. if i blow off the stage, i will be right back up, i promise. but the gender policy, the all -- all of the different things that he's done, they are so bad . it is an attack on women and remember this, they want to allow men to play in women's sports, ok? but i promise you i will defend american women like nobody has ever defended them before. and under the trump administration, this lunacy will end on my first day back in the oval office, i promise you, it will end immediately. regarding the squatters, where you have a problem, and by the way, you have a terrible governor, i hope you know that, terrible. remember during covid, the only one that had any rights in your state was the governor's husband

. remember? he was sailing, beautifully sailing, and you are not allowed to sail. for whatever reason, they wanted to you in the house and that didn't work out too well and regarding the squatters going over the country who are trying to take over your apartments and homes under the trump administration, they will be gone immediately, they will be gone in two minutes. joe biden is the worst president in the history of our country and crooked joe knows that in a fair election, he is going down in a landslide. every paul is showing -- poll showing that. you have seen the polls. we are leading big in michigan. we are leading big. and why wouldn't we, who wouldn't be? i mean honestly who would not be leaving? -- leading? this guy is coming out of a helicopter the other day and he

is falling, he is holding on his. can you imagine the foreign countries, like i visited china they must have 100,000 soldiers there. president xi jinping is standing there. can you imagine falling out of an airplane or coming down the stairs as they have soldiers? that is why biden is trying to jail -- he wants to jail his political opponents like they do in third world countries for or banana republics. he wants to give it a shot. every of these fake cases is bullshit. every single one of them. terrible. and as you know, i have come here today -- crowd: [chanting "we love trump"] mr. trump: thank you. thank you.

thank you very much. what a crowd. [crowd cheering] mr. trump: i remember in 2020, you know, -- well, i don't know if you know -- in 2020, we got more votes than any president, any sitting president in history by far and by the way there's no way he got 80 million votes in case you had any question. we got more votes than any sitting president by far, we had -- they said if i got the 63 million that i got the first time which we won that there was no way i could lose. i got millions and millions of more votes than that, and they nipped us. we are not letting that happen again. we are not letting that bullshit happen again. were not going to let it. -- we are not going to let it. as you know i have come here , today from new york city, where i'm being forced to sit for days on end in a kangaroo courtroom with a corrupt and conflicted judge enduring a

biden sideshow trial at the hands of a marxist district attorney, soros backed, who's taking orders from the biden administration. all of these trials, by the way, so if i did not run or if i came in fourth, i would have no problem right now. i would be someplace. but honestly, look at this crowd. i would rather be with you. i would much rather be with you, much rather. i would much rather be with you. >> we love you, trump! mr. trump: but what you are witnessing in new york is not a legal proceeding. it is an unlawful exercise and very stupid and naval politics. but -- evil politics. but here is the good news, it has driven the poll numbers up higher than we have ever had before because people get it, they get that it is a scam and they get it, the indictments are not just an attack on me they

-- on me. they are an assault on the constant additional right of all americans. remember this. it has anyone ever heard of al capone? scarface. he would kill people if he looked at them and didn't like him. they'd be dead the next morning. they never find the body. he got indicted less than i did. can you believe it? scarface. i got so many indictments. one day, i came in -- i thought it was going to be three times. that is incredible. these are corrupt people. they did this because it is an attack on a political opponent and a lot of political opponents would not do too well under those circumstances but i have a relationship with the people and i explained it to them and they understand it's a scam and they understand it's the worst president in the history of our country who couldn't get elected dog catcher except that he's in a party that's really really good at cheating, that's one thing. they are not good at policy.

they are horrible. open borders, high interest rates, high taxes, bad military, everything is bad. everything is bad, but they're great at cheating in elections . that's the only thing they do well. the ultimate verdict on this travesty will not come in a courtroom. it will come at the ballot box, and the american people are going to find crooked joe biden guilty of trying to destroy our country. he's destroying our country. he's destroying our country. and you know, it's interesting. i cited a couple of times before to large crowds, but what happened is incredible, and we could have done something on hillary clinton. i thought it would be a terrible thing for the country, to be honest with you, terrible. we could have done on other people, too. they did on me what was never, ever supposed to happen, especially when there is nothing , but you know what? it was very interesting, when this happened, and it happened very quickly i , changed my tune, i said thank

you very much. because now i have great reverence for the presidency. president of the united states. and i used to talk about him fairly tough but not nearly as tough as he deserved because i have respect for the office, not for him so much, but for the office, and now, i say, he is the worst president in history. he has the most corrupt president in history. he is grossly incompetent. he doesn't know what he is doing. he doesn't have a clue. he is a disaster for our country , and i say it over and over again and i have no problem in saying it. he is the worst president in the history of our country and we have got to get him out because he is destroying america. he is destroying our great country. in the middle of a presidential election, think of it the , republican nominee for president is being attacked like nobody has ever been attacked before, but all of that being done and all of that being said, the fake charges, the legal

targets, everything, and you know, we have had tremendous reviews from great people. andy mccarthy, greg jarrett, sean hannity, so many people, but great experts, great legal experts, alan dershowitz just came out saying there is no case, there is no crime, he didn't do anything wrong, what are you doing? these are people -- not everyone of them love me -- these are people that just want to speak the truth. they said there is no andy mccarthy today there is no case, it is a witch hunt and we are not going to take it, we are not going to take it. they cannot do that to our country. the judge by the way is the most conflicted person in the history. i don't think there's ever been a more conflicted judge, crooked

and conflicted and i'm unconstitutionally gagged he . he gagged me so i'm not even supposed to be talking to you. he gagged to me. i'm a former president, very popular. we had the greatest economy in history. we had we had the best safest border that we ever had in history. i rebuilt the military, we created space force, we had the biggest tax cuts in history, the biggest regulation cut and then i run again and when in the fastest time in the history of the republican or democrat party , i won the nomination, somebody else would still be campaigning to try and win it. two months ago, took down some very talented people very quickly, very precisely, very easily, and i have a judge politically appointed i have -- appointed. i have a judge who gagged me.

i'm not allowed to talk about things. the judge says, you are rich, pay $500 million fine. look at all the big cameras back there. these are new york judges. i had another judge, he takes assets that are worth billions and billions of dollars and says they are worth just a little bit, like $18 million. he takes an asset that is worth a billion dollars and says it is worth $18 million because that is his narrative and they come out against me on something that was absolutely perfect and he said, you are rich. pay a $500 million fine. $500 million, and we want to bond but the problem is, bonding companies don't do bonds of that

amount. they don't do bonds of $500 million, but he comes up on a perfect trial, great financial statements, a bill a great company, and he comes out and he finds me $500 million and he found me guilty before the case even started. he said, he's guilty, and the guy doesn't even -- the other day, he didn't know what cash was. we said we are going to put up all cash, and he did not know what that meant and this is the guy that his ruling on me in new york, and then we have another one in new york who gave someone $91 million because they said id famed her. because i sent her story isn't true. id famed care. $91 million. $91 million. hopefully, the appeal process works because if it doesn't, you just don't have a country. $91 million because i defamed her.

unbelievable and i did not defame anybody. businesses are fleeing new york state because of all of this that is going on and they are not coming back either. they are not coming back, and hopefully the court system will , straighten out because all over the world, they are watching this stuff. they are watching the trial and they are seeing what a scam it is and they don't like it, nobody likes it. but hopefully we will win all of , that stuff easily on appeal. we don't have a decision but the decision can probably only be one thing because this whole thing is a rigged deal and we should not allow this to happen in this country. we cannot allow this to happen in this country, but the fact is the important vote to me is the vote on november 5 because it's going to turn out to be the single most important day in the history of our country and we are going to get things straightened out.

in the soviet union -- that is what happened to this country. we are. go ahead, let's go. that's go. -- let's go. think of this, just think of this. joe biden failed on the border. he failed on inflation. he failed on gas prices. he failed on every single thing including afghanistan, the most vicious, embarrassing day in the life of this country, afghanistan. remember that disaster? most embarrassing day, he fails on every single thing he touches turns to shit. every single thing he touches turns out to be no good. he is no good on policy, he is no good on military, he is no

good on finance. our country is crashing, he is no good on inflation. inflation is a disaster. it is eating you alive. it's a wonder joe biden and his thugs are so desperate to stop us. they know we are the only ones, who can stop them. we are the only ones. you know, when i say "we," we have a big group of people like this all over the place and we have more voters, i say we have to hunt a million people. -- 250 million people. i say we have 250 million people that want to see our country be great again. in the new emerson poll just came out, we are up four points in michigan. in another one, we are up seven points, and i saw one where we are 11 points up in michigan and why wouldn't we be? we are also leading in every single swing state, every one of them, that is why we have to watch the cheating.

keep your eyes open. watch the cheating. the radical left democrats rigged to the presidential election in 2020 but we will not allow them to rig the presidential election, the most important day of our lives, in 2024. not going to allow it. we are going to protect the vote and i am pleased to this is the -- this is the first time i've announced this actually announced that our campaign is , going to be leading a historic effort in conjunction with the rnc, republican national committee, the state parties and a team of the most highly qualified lawyers and other professionals in the country to ensure that what happened in 2020 will never happen again. we are not going to allow it to happen again. the only good thing about 2020, it showed how bad they are. it showed what a rotten job they

do. that is why we are more popular now than we were four years ago because you like trump and you know what i hate? when these guys get on television, they say -- the pundits, you know, the great pundits that never did a thing in their whole lives, you know, we have two very unpopular candidates, we have biden and we have trump. they are a very unpopular. i'm not unpopular. we had 95% popularity in the republican party. i'm not unpopular. amazing. i'm not unpopular. i am unpopular with china. china doesn't like me too much. you know we took in hundreds of , millions of dollars from -- hundreds of billions of dollars from china, no other president took in $.10. other countries, germany, other countries -- i love that.

look at that young lady. turnaround. i love that. that is beautiful. i want to buy that from you. i want to wear that. thank you, darling. that's beautiful. really beautiful. no matter how you vote, whether it is early on election day by mail or in person, it doesn't matter, we will make sure your ballot is secure. we are going to be sure your ballot is secure. you're not going to put it in -- in ballots that don't count. you're not going to put it and do things you are not going to have other people not there but putting in a ballot, like a couple of cases that you happen here about -- happen to hear about. i'm sure you heard about a little place called detroit where they had more ballots than they had voters. a little thing like that and then by the time the people got screamed at all night, they sort of said they were called , every name of the book and they sort of said, they had more

ballots than voters, were not -- we are not going to let it happen again. you have to be very vigilant because you can see it happening better than anybody else, it's really a source we're going to have to watch the radical left democrats, all these democrats we will watch like hawks because honestly -- i don't like saying this, they cheat like hell, they cheat like hell. in plenty of other places and we are going to make america great again. it's very simple. we are going to make our country great again. every time the radical left democrats, marxists, communists, and fascists indict me i consider it a great badge of honor because i am being indicted for you. never forget our enemies want to take away my freedom because i will never let them take away your freedom and it is good.

it's good. it's good. never. and it's good that i have a good memory, you know why? because this teleprompter is facing at you, not me. these teleprompters, they're gonzo. i hate to use the word folks. cross out the word folks. you ever heard biden it's like every other word is "folks." they want to silence me because i will never let them silence you. in the end, they're not after me. they're after you. and i just happen to be standing in their way. standing in their way. and it's an honor to have this crowd. this is a hell of a crowd. look at it -- they go past the hangar.

[crowd chance "u.s.a."] -- [crowd chants "u.s.a."] it's very sad. it never happens. i want the press to take their cameras and turn them around. and right from the beginning from 2015, you know, before we ran, and as we had these big crowds never an empty seat. but we had the big crowds. but i asked them turn around and show the crowds. and even the up withs that were semi-friendly, they wouldn't do it. i thought it was a mechanical problem. but i learned that they could. there you go. but i'd like them to turn the camera backwards an see the -- and see the crowds and see the people that can't even get in here. i thought it was mechanical. i think it's a steal and then you can't turn the camera.

and then in 2016 there was a bad fight and the cameras hardly had access to it and those cameras turned around like a pretzel. and i realized they don't want to show our crowds. they dope want to show our crowds. i love you. and the fake news media could turn the cam eras around. the cameras are dead-on. that's why we call them the fake news. that's why we call them the fake news. makes no sense. i would be more exciting for people at home to see a big crowd. they're instructed by the boss not to do it. but we're going kick the boss's ass pretty soon. [cheers and applause] we're pleased to be joined by a man who is fixing to be a

warrior in the united states. he's going to win this race. i think it's going to be an easy race. mike rogers will vote to secure our borders, crack down on sanctuary city, support our police and stop the crime that is ravaging your communities. he'll vote to block the biden tax hikes. he'll allow nothing to happen bad to our country. he's going to stop things from happening bad to our country. the michigan auto industry will be demolished if you don't have guys like him. but you're going to have me. i'm going to save your industry. and we're going to make your industry much bigger. because we're going to putter reports into -- put terrors into -- you ought to tell the head of

the autoworkers as a union boss, he stinks. he's allowing it to happen to you as union workers. you're going to get 95% of the autoworkers anyway. we're going to put tariffs and we're not going to let it happen. terrible. not respected. not respected in washington. laughed at. gives everything away to the opponent. very big for china. she fully supports banning gas-powered cars and trucks. she wants to get -- by the way especially you. somebody that's away gasoline powered cars, you can't have them.

if somebody wanted to fight me, then we can't make your auto industry good because it's only going to be the hybrids and the gasoline powered cars that are going to turn around your state. so you have no but to vote against it. it's also an open borders extremist who has repeatedly voted for amnesty. i don't think -- i tell you, mike, i think you're going to win this thing big. a vote for her is a vote to raise your taxes, kill michigan manufacturing jobs and flood your communities with illegal aliens and a lot of chinese-built electric vehicles. i don't think we want them in michigan. that's why you must vote for mike rogers, highly respected, no matter where it goes. mike, come on up, mike. come on up here.

mike: mr. president, this crowd is fired up because they know when you get into the white house, these folks have your back too. [cheers and applause] >> they know. they've been telling america. they're going to go door to door for me, for you and for the rest of our state and our country that help is on the way and just one last thing, mr. president, i had a slight little lead, a slight little lead to show that you were popular in the republican. donald trump endorsed me i was 60 points ahead of our opponent. thank you, mr. president, thanks for having the courage to stand up when so many would not.

thank you, mr. president. [cheers and applause] president trump: he's going to win. he's respected all over. he's respected by everybody. you have a rare choice there. normally people haven't heard -- he's a man who was tested and highly respected in washington. and that's what you need especially in the car industry and all of the other things. i thought that was china. that was a loud plane. that was an old one. those old ones are a little loud. we're also pleased to be joined by michigan g.o.p. chair ambassador and a very good friend of mine, pete hokster. he's fantastic. hi, pete. how we doing, pete? everything good? i hear very good numbers. pete is fantastic. was a congressman was an

ambassador and everything he did he was really successful at. he was with me all the way michigan senate republican leader, eric necessary -- nesbit. thank you, eric. doing a great job. michigan house republican leader, matt hall. great job. we have a lot of others. and we have a woman who i think is a fantastic others and she's become a television star. she's on a lot. she only says great things about me. so i like her. if she didn't say great things i wouldn't but i like her a lot. tudor dixon. [cheers and applause] on day one i will stop the invasion and send joe biden's illegal aliens back home where they belong.

less than four years ago, we had the most secured, the best, the safest border by far in u.s. history. we ended catch and release. we built 571 miles of border wall. we were getting ready to add another 200 miles. had that done in approximately three weeks. the wall was all built, all ready to pull up. and then we had a rigged election. we built more than i said we were going to build and we had another 200 miles coming. would have been great. filled up some of the loops. and they decided, they didn't want to pit up. that's when i realized they're open border fanatics and that's the way it works out. remember this, i said to mexico, you've got to give us 28,000 soldiers. they laughed at us and said what are we going to do that for? i love the president of mexico. he's a socialist, but that's ok. he's a nice guy. i said you've got to give me

28,000 soldiers. you're sending all these people in the caravans. and he said i can't do that. i said you're going to do that. you have to do that. anyway. i said i'm putting a 100% tariff on everything that you send into the country from now on. they said, we would be pleased to give you 28,000 soldiers and they did. and we had the safest border in the list of our country and now we have the worst border in the history of the world. crooked joe biden and his horrible way -- he's made our country a dumping ground. in venezuela violent crime is down 67% because they took their criminals and their gang members and their drug dealers and they moved them into the united states of america. and their crime is now down 67%. that's a beauty. and right here many michigan, your state is being torn up to pieces with migrant crime.

it's a new term. migrant crime. three months ago, an illegal alien criminal was sentenced in kent county for executing a 22-year-old grand rapids woman while he was in the car with her 1-year-old baby shooting her at least five times, four times in the head with a rifle at point-blank range while the killer was -- he was wanted all over the world. but like everybody else he walked into it during the biden administration and killed the woman violently and viciously. the only thing good about them is they make our criminals look like nice people, ok? these are rough people. they're hiding in the bushes, breaking into rural and suburban homes after dark, looting them

for jewelry, purses, cash. you know in oakland. it's in almost every state. last week in st. joseph's county, an illegal alien was charged with breaking into a michigan home and sexually assaulting two young girls while threatening to kill them if they screamed or tried to escape. when i return to the white house, we will stop the plunder, rape, slaughter of the american suburbs, cities and towns. we're going to stop it cold. [cheers and applause] we will immediately end all sanctuary and deadly sanctuary cities. will shift massive portions of federal law enforcement to immigration enforcement. and we will impose a naval blockade because when we clean up the land they come in by sea. they have plenty of money to do it. we will put the cartels out of business.

they will be out of business and quickly. [applause] and on day one, we will begin the largest domestic deportation operation in american history. [cheers and applause] [crowd chanting "u.s.a."] all you need to know about joe biden is that every day he's adding a half million illegal immigrants. they're coming in by the millions. the real number already in our country is 15 million. that means traffickerstially of women that means drug dealers,

but it means a lot of people. and these are people coming out of jails and prisons, mental institution and insane asylums. these are not people we want. add they're coming from all over the world. they're not coming from south america. last week, 22 came out of prisons from the congo in africa. we wish them well. from the congo, they came out rough, rough people. where do you live? the congo? where? we came out of prison in the congo. they've emptied the prisons from south america, from africa, including all over the world and including places from europe. they've emptied from asia. they've emptied their prison to the united states. prison population is down and nobody knows why except for us. we know why because the prisons are being emptied into the united states and the mental institutions are being emptied

into the united states like we're a dumping ground because we have a president who is a stupid person or he hates our country. and this is not sustainable by -- no country can sustain this. nothing like this has ever happened. and no country can sustain this. crooked joe with his insane border policies will destroy medicare and social security because they're going to go out of business. and you know that illegal aliens coming into our country under biden are treated better than our vets. our vets aren't being treated as well as illegal audience who are occupying luxury hotels in cities can you believe it? what's going on, so horrible. as president, i will always protect social security and medicare for our great seniors. 100% just like i have for four years. [applause] and by the way, while we're on it, it was always the plan from

the great legal experts of this country and even the world, everybody, democrats, republicans, liberals, conservatives they wanted to get abortion out of the federal government. you know that. they've been trying to do it for 50 years. then about 10 years ago people lost their way started talking about how many months they have -- how many months are we allowed, how many weeks are we allowed? where does it take place? how does it take place? who are the doctors? they started getting into place that had nothing to do with the original discussion on roe v. wade. they forgot the idea to take abortion out of the federal government, that was the idea and to move it into the states and to let the states make the decision. let the people decide. after 50 years, we were able to do that. and now, you're seeing it done. some people will be happy. some people will be ok. some people won't be quite as

happy. some will be thrilled. some of the decisions, really they vary quite a bit. some are in conservative states and they're more liberal than they would have liked to see them. some are in more liberal areas and more conservative than they would like to see them. some people are thrilled with the concept because everybody basically wanted to get it out. it's wrong to be in the federal government. they wanted to get it out. the state's now decide on abortion. and you go to the states. and the states come out and they decide, which is what everybody wanted for over 50 years. and we got it done. this is different. remember, from the standpoint of what's happening, nobody wants to see abortion in the eighth month or the ninth month or nobody wants to see execution after birth. you have a situation where democrats in many cases will allow it, execution after birth.

the seventh, eighth, ninth month and after birth, execution. and if you remember, the governor of virginia said it. he said i sit. we talked with the mother along with the doctor. she has the baby. we put the baby aside and we decide what to do with the baby, meaning do we execute the baby? this is called radical politics. this is something they are far more radical. but it's not even a question of that. it's a question that we have to take care of the situation getting it back to the states was something that was very important to everyone. we had to take the radicalism out from the democrats because when you can do execution or a killing at a point in the life cycle, it just can't be allowed or we're not going to allow it. but now states are deciding. and some people are very happy because it's a liberal policy. and it is. it's a liberal policy or it's a very conservative policy, but we

brought it back to the states where everybody has been fighting to have it for 53 years. and it's taken a lot of courage and a lot of oomph and a lot of controversy out. a lot of controversy has been taken out. you see what's taken place over the last period of a couple of months. people are getting together and they're deciding within their own states. remember this as a politician, you have to have heart. you have to have what your heart determines. and you have to fight for what's in your heart and what's the right thing to do. but remember, you also have to get elected. getting elected is also important. not only on this issue but on taxes and military and everything else. you have to get elected because if you don't get elected, it goes back to the federal government, perhaps. we have many other things that can go wrong. so go with your heart, do what's right. everybody wanted this to be done

-- every legal scholar wanted this to be done. most democrats wanted it. liberals wanted it. this was a while ago. then they changed their mind. they viewed it as a political -- political deal. a lot of bad things will happen beyond the abortion issue if you don't win elections with your taxes and everything else. so it's been very interesting. and again, some states have been right where they wanted to be other states have gone more liberal than they wanted. and some have gone more conservative. but it's all working out. and the votes are coming up now in certain cases. and it's all starting to work out. it's going to ultimately bring our country together. it gets the vote down to the people. we did something that took courage. we did something that everybody wanted to see. but now, i say it's up to the states and i want to thank the supreme court justices for having the courage, clarence

thomas, samuel, alita, john roberts. craig kavanaugh, neil go sang, amy coney barrett for the wisdom and the courage to do this. this took a great deal of courage and wisdom do this. and all we wanted to do is we have to get our country back to. it takes a very long for an issue that was never going to be resolved according to many. it brings it back to the states where every legal scholar and where most most people wanted to see it. so i just want to thank the supreme court for the wisdom and the courage and thank you very much. [applause] from the very first day that we take back the white house, from crooked joe bind, i believe we're going to have the four greatest years in the history of our country. i think we can do that. not easy. not easy with what they're giving us, i will tell you.

but the one thing that has been interesting about this four years, it shows how bad their policies are. it show that is their policieses don't work. one of the reasons why they're popular, we were very popular is because they're so bad. they're so incompetent. they're so evil. they're so corrupt. and it makes us look that much better. before i even arrive at the oval office shortly after we win the presidency, we win, all of us together are going to win. i will have the horrible war between russia and ukraine settled. i know them both. ly get it settled. -- i will get it settled. we will demand for europe to pay much more for the cost of defense. we're playing the lion's share to ukraine. i keep saying why isn't europe paying more? it's about the same size as the united states. they've got plenty of money.

why are we paying and they're paying very little by comparison? they have to equalize. and they have to equalize fast. it's not right. and remember, it's more important to them. we have a thing called an ocean between us, much more important to them, they have to come up with the money. that means somebody has to ask them. you know, i did wit nato. i said you're not paying your fair share. they said you're the only one that's ever said that i was the only president -- bush would make a speech. obama would make a speech. they would all make speeches and that would leave and that would be the -- it. i said what are you doing? we're paying 90% of nato. we're defending you militarily and they're taking advantage of us on trade. i said you have to pay. they ended up putting up more than $430 billion because i asked.

i asked the right way. one of the presidents of the european countries cede -- and it was a closed door meeting. he said may i ask you a question, mr. president. if we don't pay, we're not paid up and we're attacked by russia, will you defend us? you mean you're delinquent, you haven't paid? no, i will not defend you. the next day, the money came pouring in. i got a lot of heat from the fake news. they said you shouldn't treat allies like that. i said no, allies shouldn't treat us like that. they should pay their bills. it made nato much stronger. it made nato rich and strong. and the head of nato, the secretary general, he said salteburg. trump is amaying he did something that nobody else has been able to. do now, i don't know if he would say it today. i think he said it recently even again. another thing that was very good

is a country hungary, victor orban. they asked him why is the world is bad? what do you recommend? he's a strong guy. he's tough leader. he runs the country very well. he allow nod illegal immigrants in his country. he went against other european countries which have destroyed themselves. and i said -- they asked him the question, what would you recommend? i would recommend one thing, get donald trump elected president again. and you're going to have no problems anywhere in the world. get him elected president. [cheers and applause] true. that's true. [crowd chanting "trump"] thank you. thank you. it's true. i don't want to be the one to

say its but if i don't sate, nobody else will. that i can tell you he use add word i wouldn't use. but he used it. he said china was afraid of him. i don't like to use the word "afraid." respected. russia was afraid of him. north stream two. i'm the audience that knew what it was. it's the biggest pipeline in the world going to serve europe. i said we're defending them against russia. and yet they're paying russia billions of dollars a month for oil. how does that make sense? i closed nordstrom two. and they said i was friendly with russia i got along with putin not a bad thing. i closed in order stream two. he said if you're friendly to me, i would hate like hell to see when you're not friendly he was not happy. but i closed the pipeline before

it got finished. before it got built. when bind came in, one of the first things he did was include nordstrom two. and they trump was very soft. they're full of misinformation. that and cheating on elections. that's all they're good at. biden's weakness has led the planet to the edge of nuclear war. i will bring the world new peace and i will make the following statement. i tam only one i can say this, i believe. i know them all. and they respect me. they don't respect our country any more. it's a country that's in decline. but they respect me. and we're going to have it back very soon. we're going to have a great country very soon. but i will say this. i will prevent world war iii. i'm the only one that's going to do it. [cheers and applause]

you know, if i were president, if the election -- the election that should have been, you would have never had russia attacking ukraine even democrats admit this. never did happen for four years. not even a discussion. russia would been attacking ukraine. and on october 7th, israel would have never been attacked by iran. when i was president, iran was broke. i told china if you buy one barrel of oil from iran, you're not going to do any business in the united states. i said that to many countries. and they did very little -- check it out. they did almost no business in selling oil which is their life blood. and we would have had a deal within one week after the presidential election. we would have had a deal. you know what the deal would have been? it would have been fine for them. but one thing. iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. very simple. they cannot have a nuclear weapon. and now they're 60 days from

having a nuclear weapon. i gave it to them on a silver platter. i heard this from a democrat congressman on deface the nation. he said i will admit that under trump iran was broke. they had no money for hamas. they had no money for hezbollah. they had no money for terror. and now they have $230 billion. they made it in three and a half years. we'll get something done. it's a precarious position. ly prevent world war iii and we will have peace through strength. that's what we're going to have. [cheers and applause] in my next term, we will build an iron dome very much like israel has but even better. we should have that too. we have a lot of bad actors out there.

we're going to build the greatest dome of them all. we're going to have it all made here in america. some of it is going to be made right here in michigan. state of the artemis sill defense shield that will be entirely built in america and will create jobs, jobs, jobs. and we're going to have the greatest dome of them all. you saw how effective that was with israel last week with 300 rockets shot. every one of them knocked out and knocked down. probably they wouldn't have israel if you think about it. it would have hit various locations in israel. we have the technology. we have the genius. we're going to have a more -- we're going to build a great iron dome. we're going to have a shield around our country. and it's made here. and it's going to be a great thing. [cheers and applause] we're also going rebuild our cities and they're going to make them -- we're going to make them

beacons of hope and safety and beauty, better than they have ever been before. right now, they're crime-ridden. they're falling apart. they're run by democrats. i'll work with the democrats. they're going rebuild our cities. you see what's happening with your cities. you see detroit. for 35 years, i've heard about this great comeback in detroit. and we're still waiting. we're stitt waiting. it's taking a long -- we're still waiting. it's taking a long time. we're going to take over the horribly run cap -- capital in the city. we're going to get rid of the horrible violent crime that's taking place there. you go there from michigan, and you end up getting stand or shot. and people around even going. it's horrible. graffiti all over the place. we're going to take it back. we're going to make it beautiful. we're going to renovate it and

build it. we're going to make it much more beautiful than it ever was. >> it will be the most beautiful capital city anywhere in the world. and we have an obligation to do it. on day one, i will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, trans gender or any sex -- or political content into the lives of our children. i will not give one penny to thing? school that has the vaccine mandate or a mask mandate. [cheers and applause] i will keep men out of women's sports, day one. day one. signed up day one. how ridiculous is that? that's crazy. that's like open border. there are things that are so crazy. like who the hell wants an open border where countries from all over the world are infiltrated and violating our country?

it's the same with men playing in women sports. take a look at what's happening. it's so disrespectful to women. take a look at what's happening to records. records are being shattered by numbers that nobody's even thought of before. ly fully uphold the always undersiege second amendment, guns. i will always uphold it. [cheers and applause] we will protect innocent life and we will have free speech. and we need see from speech in this country. i will do this. ly secure real elections and make them real, beautiful, safe elections. and our goal will be voting with one-day paper ballots, proof of

citizenship and voter id. but until then, republicans must win. we have to win. we have to win. that's why i say use your heart. go back to abortion question. we have to win. but we have to go out. otherwise, it's going to be a very bad ba -- bad, bad, bad period for our country we have to win those elections. in the case of our presidential election, we won a landslide that's too big to rig. too big to rig. we've got to make it so big because one thing we know at a certain level, they can't cheat. they can cheat, but it won't matter. that's what they do best. we want to make our win too big to rig. if you took the 10 worst presidents in the history of the united states and added them up, they would not have done near

the destruction of our country as crooked joe biden and the biden administration has done. a years ago. if you heard me in a rally. they're bigger and better than ever before. but if you heard me, i used to say if you took the five worst presidents. now i said that's not enough. i have a feeling by the next time we meet it will be the 15th or the 20th where he's so bad, he's the worst president ever. it's pathetic. as the country was laughed at all over the world, he flies to saudi arabia to meet the king. he's in the plane for 24 hours. he stumbles out of the plane. he meets the king finally instead of shaking his happened, he gives them a fist pump. in other words, don't touch me i don't want to touch your hand.

this is what we've got negotiating. he can't do anything right. and everything he touches turns out bad. and we just don't want it. we want to make our country good again. we're tired of watching this clown show so if you want to save america. get every common sense person you know. you go register and vote republican. you've got to vote for us. you've got to vote for mike and everything else on the tick. but we're going to turn it around, fast, mike. i'm so happy that he's rung, frankly. i'm so happy -- he's running, frankly i'm so happy. so in conclusion we're take over some of the most vicious opponent that is people have ever seen. but no matter how hateful and corrupt the communist and criminals we're fighting against. you must never forget this

nation does not belong to them. this nation belongs to you. it belongs to you. [cheers and applause] this is your home. this is your heritage. and our american liberty is your god-given right. this is your god-given right from marquette to midland. from frankfurt to flint. and from detroit to saginaw. we stand on the shoulders of red-blooded michigan peoples who fought the battles and won the victories that made america into the greatest and most powerful nation anywhere in the world. we love our nation. but now, we are a nation in decline. we are a failing nation. we are a nation that has lost its confidence, it's will power. and it's lost its strength. we're a nation that has lost its

way. but we are not going allow this horror. it's an absolute horror to continue any longer. three years ago, we were a great nation. and we will soon be a great nation again. it was hard working patriots like here in michigan and it's hard-working patriots that will save our country. our country must be saved. our country is in very dangerous trouble. our country has never been in a position like this. we're laughed at all over the world. we're not. respected by anybody. our economy is going to hell. inflation is eating everybody alive. everything is wrong with our country. there's nothing that's going right. we will fight for america like no one has ever fought before. 2024 is our final battle. with you at my side, we will demolish the deep state.

we will expel the warmongers from government. we will drive out the global list and cast time-out communist, markist and fascist. we will pull up the political class that hates our country. we will route out the immediate enthusiasm we will drain the swamp and we will liberate the country from these tyrants and villains once and for all. we will liberate our country. like those patriots before us, we will not bend. we will not break. we will not yield. we will never give in. we will never give up. we will never ever, ever backdown. we will never back down. [cheers and applause] with your support we will go on to victory the likes of which no one has ever seen before. we will effect cooked joe bide

from the white house. and we will take back our country on november 5th, 2024. [cheers and applause] the great silent majority is rising like never before. and under our leadership, the forgotten man and woman will be forgotten no longer, and it wasn't forgotten. man and woman four years ago was not forgotten. they were somebody. they were proud. they loved our country. we are one movement, one people. one family and one glorious nation under god. and together, we will make america powerful again. [cheers and applause] we will make america wealthyy again. we will make america strong again. we will make america proud again.

we will make america safe again. and we will make america great again. thank you, michigan! thank you! god bless you all! god bless you all! ♪ ♪
