Episode 5202: President Trump Delivers Remarks To The Republican Members Conference

Don't understand the different terms. It was with a plant bombs and roads as you drive by, happily drive by, the bomb goes off, and no matter how strong the armament it just kills the people. Or you lose your arms, legs, and face. And those bombs got worse and worse, and he got happier and happier. We took them out. That was a big thing, because he was the head. It might have been a much different story. They may have been much more capable than they are had he lived, because he was capable. He was vicious, violent, and capable. But we got rid of him first term. And we did so many things. I mean, we've done so many things. But as you know, on Saturday, I traveled to Dover Air Force Base to be with the families of six fallen warriors as they returned to American soil. And I know that everyone in this room joins me in sending our prayers and eternal gratitude. You were watching the President address the Republican conference around where you're in the war. We will continue this life coverage until completed, and then the war will start. The hardest thing to go to Dover, because Dover is where, for the most part, a lot of the fallen, the warriors, the great young people that have died in war, they seem to mostly go to Dover. They come home to Dover. Dover does a great job of handling things. They have men assigned to the family. They have men and women that are incredible assigned to the families. It's a beautiful thing, but it's also a very sad thing. But they all said one thing to me. Make sure you win, sir. Make sure you win. They say they weren't playing games. APPLAUSE We want to make sure they said it. Everybody said it. They were separate. But everybody said the same thing. Make sure you win. We will. We've already won in many ways, but we haven't won enough. We go forward more determined than ever to achieve ultimate victory that will end this long-running danger once and for all. 47 years, it should have been done a long time ago. World would have been a different place at some present and at the courage to go and do it. They should have done it many, many times. They had many opportunities. The United States of America is the greatest and most exceptional nation in human history, and will not be threatened by evil terrorists and lunatics any longer. We just can't do that. And you know, when I always talk about how great our nation is, I don't know. I don't consider our nation very great for four years under Biden. We were a laughing stock all over the world. We were a laughing stock. So I say, great, great, great. But when you look at what happened with so many different things, the open border, 25 million people, many of them, very bad people, pouring into our country with open borders, that just said, come on in. Come on in. Make no difference. They emptied their jails into our country. 11,888 murders, 50% of which murdered more than one person. The drug dealers came in. The mentally insane came in. They emptied their mental institutions. They emptied their insane asylum. That's a step above a mental institution. They emptied it. And the moral right into our country, and we've done a great job of doing what we've done. Think of it. We have the lowest crime rate that we've ever had. We have the lowest murder rate in 125 years. And we're saddled with all of the problems of the criminals that were led in. You know, look, this smart people, I know the people that run those countries, every one of them. And they're all street wise, very smart. And I would do exactly the same thing. They emptied their jails into our country. I said that was going to happen when I heard that they were having open borders. I didn't believe that they were going to have, when I realized that they actually were going to have open borders, they said, we're going to have every person in jail. We're going to have every drug dealer. We're going to have all these countries all over the world. The Congo, they emptied their jails all the way from the Congo to all parts of South America, Asia. They sent in their people in jail, murderers. Some of the worst people on Earth got sent into our country. And I'll tell you what, ice is unbelievable. What they have to put up with and how tough they have to be. That goes for border patrol. And it goes for law enforcement, our law enforcement people. But sadly, even as our service members are fighting bravely to protect America abroad, the Democrat minority in Congress is deliberately sabotizing our national security at home. And you're going through it right now, fellas. And you're going through, it's not even believable. We should be very safe right now, especially when we're attacking somebody that's evil, bad intention. But last week, 53 House Democrats voted against the resolution of firming that Iran remains the world's number one state sponsor of terror. I wonder how it would do that. I mean, almost every act, whether it's a mass or a baseball no matter what, you take a look at Iran or Iran sponsored. And even more outrageously is we speak Democrats have shut down the Department of Homeland Security. They've got to shut down, do you believe it? Right now, because they care more about amnesty for illegal alien criminals than about protecting the lives of American citizens. I mean, take a look at it. The American citizen is being scoffed at by Democrats. It doesn't make sense. None of this stuff makes sense to me. When they sat and they wouldn't stand up for incredible people, they just refused to clap, stand up. By the end of the speech, by the way, they were all standing because somebody was passing them, no, you people are getting killed tonight. They were all standing up for everything I was saying. At the end of that last half hour, they were standing up for things that they shouldn't have stood up for because they got the word. You get and killed tonight, stand up and clap for the woman that just lost her daughter, please, to a violent criminal. But Democrats must vote immediately to reopen the Department of Homeland Security so that we have the resources to keep America safe. And under our pro-America, pro-worker, pro-family agenda, our country is winning again and America is respected again. And I think we have a country that's as hot as it's ever been ever before, maybe hotter. And I say it all the time, the King of Saudi Arabia said it to me better than anybody could say it. He said, you know, I'll get along with it very well, very smart person. He said, you know, a year and a half ago, your country was dead. Absolutely dead. We never thought it was coming back. And now you have the hottest country anywhere in the world. It's with the hottest country anywhere in the world, by far. And that's before we showed off our military strength with Venezuela and now with Iran. You know, Iran was supposed to be this big powerful country. We wrapped the aisle out of them. And, you know, I don't know when they cry, Uncle, but they should have cried at two days ago, right? But they don't have anything left. In our country, inflation is plummeting. Incomes arising, the economy is surging. Our border is the most secure at any time in American history. And the murder rate is the lowest in 125 years. That's before my father was born. My father was born six years later than that. I don't know if he'd like me to say that. Never like to talk about his age. He said, don't talk about that. But think about 125 years ago, 1900, the year 1900. The stock market is at 53 old time record highs since the election. And it's going to go a lot higher. As soon as we get rid of this stuff that we're doing right now, that we really had no choice. I mean, I think I asked people, I said, would you rather do this? Would you rather go along nice and smoothly? But eventually have a catastrophe, the likes of which perhaps the world has never seen. And just about everybody says, except for lunatics, said, yeah, to get it done. Should have been done a long time ago. The average 401k is up almost $35,000. I think of that as the best they've ever done. And I think you're going to see some real numbers when this gets. Because this was always a dark cloud hanging over. Not only Israel, which was going to get wiped out. We didn't do that B2 attack. Israel would have been wiped out. They would have had a nuclear weapon within two weeks after that. And even now, I think they were looking to take over the Middle East because when you look, and we have pretty good proof, all of those missiles that were so stupidly aimed at Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, they were all aimed at others. And countries that were sort of like, leave us alone. They were all right. They were sort of neutral. But they weren't doing it. All of a sudden, they're getting hit with missiles. And they could have gone one of two ways. They could have gone toward their side, like where would you? Or they could have gone with our side. And they really went with our side. And they've helped us. And they've been a big force. But they got hit. But they were going to be hit with us. Had we not done the B2 raid? And if we not done this one, where we said, help, it's time to go in. We have to go in, have no choice. Number one, if we didn't go in, they would have come in after us because I see the Democrats trying to justify it. And they're failing because the voter on the street is saying, you've got to be kidding. But I see where they're going. They're always saying, no, no, there was no reason. Well, I'll give you the best reason of all. Within a week, they were going to attack us 100%. They were ready. They had all these missiles far more than anyone thought. And they were going to attack us. But they were going to attack all of the Middle East and Israel. And if they had a nuclear weapon, they would have used it in Israel. And this was going to be a major attack. And they had all of those missile sites and all those launches that we got rid of about 80% of them right now, by the way. Got rid of most of the, you know, see, it's died down to a trickle. They've very few launches left. What our military has done is amazing. They wiped out almost 20%, maybe 22%, 23%. But the rest are going very quickly. And the missiles have been largely knocked out. The drones have been knocked down. And we're hitting where they make the drones. We know more. And we're knocking the hell out of that now where they manufacture the drones. A lot of work, a lot of brilliant work. But we're going to have a much safer world. So there's this finish that's going to be finished pretty quickly. With the help of our House Republican majority, we passed the largest tax cuts in American history. We have to be talking about it. And with a great big beautiful bill, we delivered no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on social security for our great seniors. And we did something else which is great that nobody ever talks about Tom and we have to talk about it. We made interest on auto loans fully deductible. That's never happened. We've never had that. You know, rich people always get deductions. But middle-income people, people that have to struggle a little bit never did. But now they can deduct the interest paid against their taxes. It's, we have one little provisional. And I put this on just very important. Only if the car is made in America. All right? That's going to have a huge impact. That's going to have a huge impact. We passed the Trump accounts to give every child in America a head start on the American dream. And that's so good. It was, I'll tell you, the Dell family, Dell computer. He put up $6,250,000,000. Think of it. Started with very little nothing, very, very little. Started making computers on his bed. And he said, yeah, people started liking them better than the ones from the store. And he never stopped. And he can write a check for $6,250,000. And he said, and his incredible wife, Susan, they said that's the best thing they've ever done. He's so surprised. He's going to do it again. He's going to do more. And we have a lot of other people. A lot of very rich people are doing it. A lot of people that aren't so rich are doing it. They're doing it for their kids. But it's starting out. So something like young child turns $18 or $21. And all of a sudden they have $100,000 in the bank. What a difference that is between having that and having nothing. And it could be more than that. It could be a lot more depending on what happens with the world. And we passed 100% expensing and bonus depreciation and all new equipment, factory construction and investments. And that's what made our first term. We had the greatest economy in the history of our country in the first term. And this one's going to blow it away. Again, we had little pause. But it's not a very big pause. With your help, we also passed the largest regulation cuts in American history, ending the Green New Scam, one of the greatest scams in history and massively increasing production of American oil, natural gas, and clean, beautiful coal. We brought coal back. You're not allowed to say coal without clean, beautiful. Got to be clean, beautiful. China uses coal. They're building about 65 mess of coal plants right now. But China, great respect for China, but they make all the windmills, right? The only thing they don't do is use the windmills. They make them. But try finding wind farms in China. There aren't too many of them. In my state of the Union address, I laid out an ambitious agenda that should be our roadmap this year. And it's starting with lowering the cost of living. They gave us a mess. We inherited a mess, an absolute mess. And the mess was many things. They were bad without military. They were bad with everything. I mean, I said, they made one thing that they did right. They can't name one thing. But they also gave us very high prices. And then they said, the word affordability. That's the first time I ever heard it. They said affordability. In my first day in office, they said affordability. They're the ones that caused the problem, but we're really bringing down prices. Do you notice you don't hear that word anymore, Mike? They don't say it anymore because we've brought down prices so much. So our message is simple. Democrats created the high prices. And our policies are totally ending them. And they're ending and we're doing better. We're even bringing them down further. They'll be way down. And we're bringing, you know, if you go back into the last the last period, I would say, I think it's 2 1 1 2 months. 1.7% inflation, 3 months 1.45% inflation. Think of that. Whereas they had the highest inflation in the history. The single highest inflation in the history of our country. Now, you know, I always say this. They say 48 years because I don't want the fake news to get me on it. They say it wasn't history. It was 48 years that the inflation was highest in 48 years. But I don't know. And some ways 48 years sounds even worse because it's very specific. But they had the highest inflation probably in history, but in 48 years, we inherited that. One of the first targets must be the crushing health care. We have to crush the and take over the health care situation which we can do. For the first time, we can do it since the passage of the unaffordable correct big insurance companies have gotten rich. They've made money like practically no other companies have made with our government giving them hundreds of billions of dollars and their stock price is soaring to up to 1,700%. 1,000%, 1,200%, 1,600% and even 1,700%. The government gave them essentially trillions of dollars. And I want that money to be paid to the person, not to the insurance company, and let them go out and buy their own health care. And people love it. People love it. You'll get better health care at a much lower cost. And they'll be sort of part of the system. But the money we spend is so much. We spend numbers that nobody could even believe. But the health care companies, because the Democrats are owned by the insurance companies, remember that. And so they have a problem. That's why it's hard to get it fixed, because they are totally owned and controlled by the health care by the insurance companies. Health care insurance, but the insurance companies themselves. So when you want to do something that's good for the people, but bad for the insurance companies, it's very, very hard for them to go in a different way. Now Republicans never do that kind of thing, right? You have your own body, right? Nobody. Say, a young girl of your say, yes, some of them are a little bit shaky, but they're Republicans. We love them. We love them anyway, right, Mike? But they are owned by those big, powerful insurance companies that are making a fortune and start to get them to do the right thing. They know what the right thing is. So we want the money to be paid directly to the people and let the people go out and buy their own health care. And people love it. They love it. We can own the issue. For the first time ever, Republicans can own that issue. I'm also asking you to take swift action to codify my most favored nation policy on drug prices. The biggest, that alone should win the midterms. We have, and I tell the story all the time, my first term, third year, I actually had a slight, it was 1 1 1% decline in drug press. First time in 28 years, I was so proud I weren't told our great first lady who's now a movie star. I said, got the biggest, can you believe that movie was hot? And it is hot. She became a movie star. It was a good movie. But I went home and I said, you know, it's amazing. We do so well. We work so hard. This issue is the single biggest issue. OK, I had a news conference. I'm embarrassed to say a long time ago, my first term, third year, because I went up to a level that nobody's, I did things that nobody's ever done. 28 years, I brought it down 1 1 1%. Now I brought it down 80%, 90%, 75%, depending the way on, you know, it's driving the fake news crazy because I say 400%, 500%, 600, depending the way you want to talk about it, if you want to talk about pricing. But using a conservative number, what we've done is we paid the highest price for drugs anywhere in the world. And now we pay the lowest price for drugs anywhere in the world. We are tied for the lowest price. Whoever has the lowest price, that's what we pay. And I did that through tariffs. We had a little disappointing decision to put it mildly from the Supreme Court terrible decision for the people. But the good news is I have lots of other ways of doing the same thing. I just have to work a little harder. They want me to work harder. But we're doing the same thing with a lot of work. But I used tariffs to get this because I went to other countries. The drug companies were not easy. But I got them. I said, we were paying for a pill $130. That in London and Germany in different places, you'd pay $10. So we were paying 13 times more. They're paying $10. we're paying $130. And the drug companies I called them in. We had a rough time, but it wasn't that bad. And they agreed because they knew that I couldn't get the countries. You had to get the countries to approve it. And I called up, and you've heard me say this a couple of times, not often. But I called the countries up. I called up France. I said, Emmanuel, you have to cut your good friends from America, reasonable deal. What's happening is you are paying a tiny fraction for drugs. There's no no Donald. I cannot do anything about that. I said, you can. You can't. He said, no, no, I will not do it. I will not do it because he'd have to raise his pill from $10 to 20 and maybe even 30. Ours would come down from $13 to $130 down to $20. I was thinking that from $130. That's what you're going to get. From $130 to $20. But he has to double his price from $10 and they were the boss. I said, no, no, you will. No, don't know. Don't know. I cannot do that. And I heard this from all the other countries too. Very elegant people. And they were saying, no, no, no, we cannot do this. We will not do this. I said, yes, you will. 100%. No, no, we will not. Because, you know, they have to double up their prices. And I said, well, here's the story. If you don't do it, I'm going to put. In the case of Emmanuel, I said, a 100% tariff on all wines and champagne's coming into the United States. No, no, Donald, you cannot do that. I said, I've already got the legislation. It's right in front of my desk. I'm going to sign it. Emmanuel, he said, Donald, I will agree to this. So he agreed. Everybody agreed. I got every country to agree. And now you've done something that no other president could have done. No, I don't want to brag. But, you know, they've said this about a lot of things. No other president could do some of these. I'm doing. No other president. And things I'm doing, nobody else was going to do it. I say, they say it all the time, sir, could you do this? You're the only one who can do it. But we got it done. And we got the country. So all go along. Because I said, if you don't do it, I'm going to raise your tariffs to 200%, to 150%. And that's 10 times more than I'm asking for. And every single one, if it took me five minutes, that was like a long time. I was doing badly with that one. So now we have most favored nation pricing into permanent law. And you should codify it. But I don't care that much about codifying it. Because what politician is going to agree to increase drug prices by 500%. But it's still good to have it codify. Don't you agree? They're saying, sir, we have to codify it. I said, that's OK. But I'm not. Other things you should codify. That I can tell you. This one, you should codify. Because you want to take credit for it. You want to take credit for it. So if you can, please codify it, get out there and codify. You're getting an 80%, 85%, 55%, 70% reduction and drug prices codify it. But if you don't, no president's going to raise it. In my opinion, although they are crazy, these people are crazy. They could find a way. You better get it codified. And as we work to bring down interest rates so that more Americans afford a house. I'm also asking you to ban the Wall Street firms, large Wall Street firms, institutional investors from buying up thousands and thousands of single family homes, hundreds of thousands of homes. Because homes really are for people, not for hedge funds. We want to get the market out so they can do it. And we're stopping it. We want people to be able to buy a house. It's the American Dream. Buying a house is a part of the American Dream. And we must also stand up for the safety of our citizens. One of my guests at the State of the Union was Anja Zoretska, the mother of beautiful 23-year-old Ukrainian and girl who was stabbed to death on a train in North Carolina by a deranged criminal arrested more than a dozen times. And I had the mother, as you know, at the State of the Union. And she was devastated. Beautiful woman devastated. Uncontrollably devastated. And we couldn't get one Democrat to even clap. The Republicans clapped and went wild and they loved her. Not one Democrat in that whole room even thought about clapping. They sat there frozen face, disgusting. House Republicans should get every member of Congress on record and pass a tough new crime bill that imposes harsh penalties for dangerous repeat offenders, which just nut was. Cracks down on rogue judges and prosecutors and ends no cash bail. Once it for no cash bail is a big part. I mean, you have been murdered somebody and by that afternoon he's out on bail, no cash bail. It's a huge, a huge problem. We also need to end deadly sanctuary cities and you have bills before you're now and you're working on things. But hopefully you can do that, like, because it's terrible. They're sanctuary for criminals. That's all they are. Sanctuary for criminals. They fight ice all the time. That was a problem up in Minnesota. They had a lot of criminals and they wouldn't give it to us. And to stop illegal aliens who cannot even speak English from driving 18-wheel tractor trailers, they have no idea what they're reading. I wouldn't be able to do it in their countries, just arrows and a speed limits. They have no idea what they're reading. And in many cases, there are drugs on top of that. We need to ban any state from granting commercial drivers licenses to illegal aliens. I have to do it. APPLAUSE And I want to thank House Republicans for passing another common sense measure. I would think it's the easiest thing I just told Mike. You were at $19 million. I have to say this because I've never contributed. I was a huge contributor for years and years. Once I became president, I never contributed any money. Because the greatest thing about being president is, I no longer have to contribute. No, wherever I ask for money. They ask me for my endorsement. I've endorsed just about everybody in the room. But keep winning, right? 124 and 0 this Tuesday. 124 wins, no losses. Is that good? And there were some rebels. We endorsed a few rebels, right? A few that Mike was saying. That's going to be a tough one. But we're 124 and 0. But as president, nobody ever asked me for money. And as president, you know, like as president, you sort of don't make campaign contributions. Just to do it. But I heard you were at $19 million today. I said, has that ever been done? No shirt's a record. But 20 would sound better, right, Mike? Yes. He said, I'm going to give you $1 million. So it's the first time I've done that. I never did it before. I never did it before. I never did it before. I never did it before. Now I'll be hit up by every political group, every Republican running. Sir, could I have some, give me a little cash. I'll have Everett come up to me and say, how about a little cash from my campaign? I will no longer have the excuse that as president, anyway. No, but we had a hit to 20, right? We had a hit to 20. That was a hell of a thing. You beat it by a lot. You beat the record, the previous record by a lot. But I want to thank House Republicans for passing another common sense measure. To me, the easiest of all, the Save America Act to protect our sacred American. Look at this. Woo! Woo! That is great. That is great. Look. It's the easiest thing we have. I can't. Ah! It's the easiest thing we have. Now, the problem is you call it the Save Act. And nobody knew what the hell to save it. Have you been seeing, I've been working overtime the last month. It's called the Capital, the Save America Act. And I saw Schumer yesterday, we will stop Save America. He's getting killed. They can't do it. And then the things within the Save America are so good. But just a title. So we had that with Maga, greatest name of all time. Make America great again. Maga. It just worked. You know, I had something keep America great. It was good. But it didn't have that Maga. You know, there was nothing you could see. I had Cag. Cag. And Cag, I said, you know, no longer. It's not good. But Maga is great. And we'll always respect Maga. We love Maga. We're never going to let you down with Maga. But this one's even better if you think about it. This is America. We're going to Save America. The Save America. How can they fight us? The Save America Act. And I've watched that. I watch Schumer who's horrible. What a horrible politician. He is now a Palestinian officially. He is registered as a Palestinian. He's a proud. He's taken the biggest turn of any human being I've ever seen. He's gone from totally pro-Israel to totally pro-Palestinian. He wants to protect the Iranian people that are quite nasty. But it's very simple. All voters must show the act. Voter ID. Ready? This is not complicated. Voter identification. Now, you know, I have a whole list, but I don't want to put it. I have like hundreds of things on the list. If you go shopping, if you do this, if you buy a car, if you license a car, if you go to a point where everything you need to have identification. So all voters have to show identification, ID. All voters must show proof of citizenship in order to vote. See, have ID and you have citizenship so far? No mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, military or travel. Mail-in ballots are a disaster. Jimmy Carter, the best thing he ever did, he had a commission after he was president. There's a single best thing he did a thing on mail-in ballots. He said mail-in ballots should not be allowed because they are inherently dishonest. And we have seen it time and time again and we just keep going with it. And I put that down as a top three. Look, no mail-in. Now you have the exceptions for the military. And I would even say far and based military, but for the military, for disability, for illness. And if you're traveling, you have an excuse. And I was lenient on that. But those three things end. I added two more. These are best of. You know, best of. These are called best of Trump. We should also add on to this bill. And so what I've asked Mike to do is to draw a new one with these few things added. And let's go for the gold. Let's not just get one like voter ID, but it can be given to you by your daughter. You know, your daughter, she has to be of age like above six years old. She's allowed to say, you had to see some of this stuff is so bad. They're doing everything possible because they know if we get this, they probably won't win an election for 50 years, okay? And maybe longer. And they're going to fight like hell. But boy, do they get killed because even the Democrats, you saw the numbers today, the Democrats voted 86% that this stuff should be passed. The Democrats with Republicans, you're at 98%, but Democrats are at 86, except for the people that run the Democrat Party because they want to try and win elections illegally. It's the only. The only reason you vote against voter ideas because you want to cheat is no other reason. They come up with reasons. They say, it's racist. That's their number one racist. And you have to explain it and they're just sitting there mumbling. They can't explain it. And it's actually very insulting when they use the term racist, very insulting to the people that they're trying to so-called defend, but they're not defending. Then why I wanted to add two more to it because there, I say 95%, maybe 100%. No men in women's sports were simply. Add that in. And I wanted to add in one of the, I'm not even adding in no open borders because you know there's some people that like open borders. These people are crazy, but that's okay. Because I want five things that are like close to 100%. No trans gender, mutilization surgery for our children. You can't have trans gender for our children. So those five things, five things. Not a right, the citizenship, male imbalance, no male imbalance. We don't want men playing in women's sports. That's got to be about a close to 100%. We don't want men playing in women's sports and no trans gender, mutilation of our children. Now that should be the easiest thing to get past that you've ever had. Each one, it's best of, best of Trump. Those are best of Trump. I have something that are very popular, but I wouldn't put them in that category. This is the number one priority it should be for the house. And I'd like to ask Tom, Steve, Mike, all of you, if you would, I'd like to have you go back. And Lisa, hello darling. She was screaming her affirmation of what I said. She went, the kid went wild. She was so happy that somebody finally said, let's vote on this. Lisa, you're going to get it done. Okay, I'm going to count on you. Forget the men up here. I'm going to count. But it's actually a matter in a serious way of national survival. We can't have these elections going on like this anymore. You know, you use paper ballots. If right now they have water markets, so safe, it's so good, you put it, it gets under a light. It says, you know, a code. It's very, very hard to cheat. Another thing, and I don't even bring this up. It costs 7% the cost of those crazy machines. You know, I love the machines where they get the machines. They spend all this money and they announce during the election that the tabulation will go along for another three weeks, right? With mail-in voting, you know, there's not a country in the world that does mail-in ballots anymore. They tried it, France tried it, or failed. They go to paper ballots. They're all doing paper ballots right now. Most of them are doing paper ballots except us. And nobody is doing what we're doing. And there's no elections so corrupt as the elections in the United States of America. And we can solve them with this. And the reason I put those other two that have not much to do with it is because they are equally popular. And I think it might help us. And for those people that like Pfizer, I said, maybe you put them together because a lot of people feel very strongly about Pfizer. Some people don't, but the people that want it, they really want it. And generally, for whatever reason, they're opposed to what we're saying about, you know, about the ballots and about citizenship and all of those things. And so put them together and you might get a vote, but we have to get it done. And then we have to get the Senate to do it. But if you could send a bill up to the Senate, a real, we're going for the gold. We don't want what we said. The save act was, it was all right. Nobody knew what the hell it was, including me. I kept saying, what's this? Save America Act. Don't ever say save act again. It's a loser. The save act. The idea is, any idea what we're trying to save. It's the Save America Act. If you could send it up in full form, full form, meaning to straight, we will, I think the Senate has to approve it. I really do. I think, and they're going to have to go the filibuster. And maybe it's going to be the talking filibuster like the old days to great Jimmy Stewart, right? Remember the great movie, Jimmy Stewart, but they have to get it done because if we don't get this done, I'm for, if it takes you six months, I'm for not approving anything. I'm for not approving anything. I don't think we should approve anything until this is approved. And they can't win politically. Look, you have them in a corner. And they're listening to every word I'm saying and it doesn't matter because they can't win it politically. Because when they say we don't want voter identification, we don't want proof of citizenship. All these things are just losers for them. And they can't, they won't be able to withstand it. Just like at the State of the Union, they started clapping at the end. I said that. And the reason because politically, you have to stand for these great people that were being. And the word came out from people watching it on television. You guys are getting killed. And this is an even bigger example. So if you could, if I could ask the people in this room to go for the gold, we're going for the gold. We're not going for the bronze. We're not going to sign a watered down version like it's been set up there. Let's go for the gold. And let's just not accept anything else. I'll tell you what, I'm willing to just sort of say I'm not going to sign anything until this is approved. I really am, but that's so bad of me. And we're going to have to push the Senate because you have four or five senators that are, I don't know, four or five Republicans senators. You'll have to explain them to me, but we're not going to get into that. But we're going to push them to get it done because I don't think you can politically exist if you're not going to do voter ID and these things. I don't think the people in this country will stand for it. So I'm making my biggest plea tonight. It'll make you, and I'm not doing it for this reason at all. It'll guarantee the midterms. It'll guarantee the midterms. If you don't get it, big trouble, my opinion. If you get this, your midterms, and they know it. For two reasons, number one, they won't be able to cheat. And number two, the people are demanding it. Every time I go out, save America, sir, save America. We want the save America, sir. That's all they talk about. They don't talk about housing. They don't talk about anything. That's what they talk about. And if you send it up, you're going to win the midterms at levels that you can't even believe. And you're going to win every election for a long time until somebody really screws things up and hopefully that won't happen. But I've never been more confident that if we keep these promises and deliver in this popular agenda, the American people will stand with us in overwhelming numbers just as they did in 2024. I heard Mike say it's actually 78 million votes, but it was actually 86. You know, they cheated like hell, unless it was too big to rig. Remember, I won three times. First time was great. Second time they cheated like hell, who's COVID. And the cheating was at an inspirational level. We can't let that ever happen again. And then they cheated again in the less election. But I went up. The term I used most was too big to rig. You got to go out. Don't believe because we had polls having this way up. I said, don't believe the polls go out and vote. Make it too big to rig. And that's what happened. Some couple of races they cheated on. They got away with it. Couple of Senate races, my opinion. But we have to make it too big to rig. And that's what we did. But we shouldn't have to win an election that way. We could have a hard time winning elections that way. You got to get that passed. And if we fight, fight, fight, we will win, win, win. And we will make our country safer and stronger and richer and greater than it ever has been before. And I want to say very important because they would like you not to say this, because this is a terrible thing in their opinion to say, God bless you and God bless America. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you very much. I feel down home. I said to your man, put yourself all around. I said to your man, cause you're in a new town that's no need to be unhappy. Your man, those of you who can go, I said to your man, when you're short on your dough, you can stay there. And I'm sure you will fight anyway to have a good time. It's going to stay at the YMCA. It's going to stay at the YMCA. OK, the president of the United States, addressing the Republican conference with the Save America. I got to pass it. That was the central part of it. Plus, I guess the war is over, or the president Trump's making a pretty big case this afternoon to CBS news and now to the, that was the House conference. Couple of day event taking place in his derail, followed on the shield of America. I've got Natalie Winner's joins me. We're going to start the show off. And then Natalie, I want to get to your analysis and report in a moment, because I think it's quite relevant about the, are we going to a different direction in Iraq? Excuse me, Iran. Part of my 40-in-slip. But let's talk about the Save America Act. I didn't actually see a widely enthusiastic response to that. President Trump is making probably the hardest pitch I've ever seen for the act. And he says he's going to add a couple of things on. That's about women and men and women's sports and also transgender ideology. But I mean, there was some applause at the beginning. He made this the centerpiece. He says you do this and it's impossible for them to beat us in the fall. I expect to see people standing on the chairs. And I think one of the reasons is that most of the people in the room know that John Thune and the Senate have no interest at all in working with the president to pass this bill. And Natalie, your observations on this. Well, thank you so much for having me look. I think what we're witnessing is the story of the Maga movement that we know all too well, right? President Trump sticking his neck out, getting behind common sense legislation, any version of it. It is so rudimentary and simple, right? It's nonsense. It's not being able to vote. We're not getting even getting into this sort of really scary stuff for the left, which is ballot harvesting, things like that, dead people voting. But of course, Republicans are apathetic. But I think you also have to look at the history of the Savak. It has very often been used for each Congress, at least going back to, remember, the one where you were in prison when the Savak was used as the justification as to why we needed to pass the like 38th CR in a row to continue and on, an omnibus, which would then, or I guess, a mini bus that would then lead us to omnibus spending. And I think that the only time you ever really see voting, security voting, integrity discussed on a congressional level, it's sort of like China, right? It's political football. Obviously, it's not to President Trump. That's why he keeps talking about it. The White House has made it clear that it's a really significant issue that they're pushing. But House Republicans suck. I mean, that's a simple way to take it, but they don't care. They don't care about immigration. They don't care about any issues. They just want to like put out tweets where they sound like they're really tough and then not do anything about it. And Steve, the real tell that House Republicans have never been serious about doing anything on election and security was back in 2020, even when we took the House, right? They set up all those committees going after China, going after reponation. I think they had one. Did they set up one for the 2020 election? No, right? They don't actually deal with the real election integrity activists. They want this like limited hangout version where we pretend that the only threat is non-citizens voting. I'm not negating that that's a serious threat, but the real threat of elections here in the United States, that's like a small portion of it. So House Republicans, I guess, are doing what they do best, killing what President Trump and the grassroots actually care about. Meet media, mediate headline tonight, Natalie Winners, House Republicans suck. Anyway, that was going to hang around Natalie and hold you back. The president's now. Suck a lot, suck a lot. There's going to be a press conference right now. I think they're going to shift rooms. Anyway, we're getting the logistics right here in the war room.

As soon as the president changes rooms at the row, Natalie, you had an excellent piece. And look, I think it's up in the air. So let's just wait to the press conference. He did talk to CBS News. He said the war is essentially over. They've destroyed the Navy, the air defense systems, et cetera. I'll be blunt. It's a little confusing. Although we've been a big advocate of, let's think this through. And if there's a smart off ramp that accomplishes our objectives, we should be looking at that and concerning it. You're a piece today as another complexity to the situation. You want to walk through it? Sure. But obviously our audience is rightly very concerned about the potential third and fourth order effects, which I think the West America has seen in the form of refugee waves, right post conflicts like these. And there's not a lot of numbers, which I find quite interesting. No conspiracies, no coincidences. But I was able to obtain some kind of stealth internal data from the United Nations tracking what they called internally displaced people from Iran and the surrounding region. But just before we back into the actual data, I think a very important data point in this whole discussion is just the actual size of Iran in terms of population, right? You're talking upwards of like 90 million people. What do I mean by that? Even if just 10% of people, you know, leave, decide to leave or push down, that's 9 million refugees for reference, Iraq when we went in. It was a population of about 25 million. Libya was about 6 million. And when you look at the refugee flows from those countries, you got about 4.7 million from Iraq. Afghanistan was about 6 million displaced. And then Libya, you had about a million people. The numbers that we're seeing thus far in total in the region, the United saying in the first, basically, three days of the conflict was over 300,000 people, 100,000 specifically from Iran. But they admit in their own report that these numbers are extremely deflated. You've also seen some European advisory groups warning that this would be potentially the largest migration wave in modern history. So thank God we have President Trump and an administration that has done a lot to curtail refugee emissions. And obviously Secretary Hanks said, he said we're not going to get the business of human placement and shoving these people into the United States. I wouldn't imagine that. Happening, but I think for the future of Europe, the population there is just so large. And there's already around, over I think, 3.5 million and half-gan Afghanistan refugees who live in Iran. So it's already sort of a tumultuous place in terms of who is living there. So I think that these data points are very important for discussion. Natalie, can you hang one second? We're going to cut right to the President. What is the press conference going to start? Let's cut right to the President. Over the weekend, the United States military and the Israeli Defense Forces continued operation, epic fury, very successfully. Over the past nine days, we've carried out some of the most powerful and complex military strikes and maneuvers the world has ever seen. Now, you add that up to all of the other things, Midnight Hammer, getting rid of the nuclear threat from Iran, which was a big moment in history, in my opinion. And the great success we've had in Venezuela and all other places, every place we've gone, we've had tremendous success. But while we're doing all of these things, we're achieving major strides toward completing our military objective. And some people could say they're pretty well complete. We've wiped every single force in Iran out very completely. Most of Iran's naval power has been sunk. It's on the bottom of the sea. It's almost 50 ships. I was just notified. It's 51 ships. I didn't know they had that many. Didn't last very long. And these are fighting vessels. They're meant to fight, but they're not meant to fight against us. We continue to target Iran's drone and missile capabilities. Their drones are way down. Their drone manufacturing has been hit starting today. We know all of the places they manufacture the drones and they're being hit one after another. Their missile capability is down to about 10 percent, maybe less. We're also hitting where they make missiles and where they deliver missiles. We've struck over 5,000 targets to date. Some of them are very major targets. And we've left some of the most important targets for later in case we need to do it. If we hit them, it's going to take many years for them to be rebuilt. Having to do with electricity production and many other things. So we're not looking to do that if we don't have to. But they're the kind of things that are very easy to hit but very devastating if they are hit. We are waiting to see what happens before we hit them. We could take them all out in one day. But it's all resulting in a 90 percent decline and various things. But in particular, Iranian missile launchers and 83 percent drop in drone launchers, as you know, the drone launchers are pretty well shot. But we're at over 90 percent decline in the Iranian missile launchers, which is very hard to reproduce and very hard to get. And usually what we were able to do through great equipment, a lot of smart people. As soon as they sent a missile up from a launcher, we were able to knock out that launcher within a period of five minutes or less, accurately right on the noggin. So now we have low-cost interceptors effectively combating Iranian drones and our beat-to-bombers recently dropped dozens of 2,000-pound bombs to destroy missile launchers all over Iran. And very deep under Iranian soil in many cases, the soil was no match. And we're also annihilating the manufacturing base that the regime uses to build drones and missiles at a rate that nobody thought was possible. We're not going to mount, we know where the all-ar we're not going to mount very quickly. We're ahead of our initial timeline by a lot I would say that we probably would not have thought after a month we'd be here in addition to the fact that we've taken out the leadership twice and maybe three times. And we, as you know, we want to be involved. We don't want another president that maybe wouldn't be willing to do what I'm willing to do for the good of the world, for the good of our nation, to be stuck with a situation in five years or ten years from now. So we think they should put a president in or the head of the country and that's going to be able to do something peacefully for a change. They've been doing this for 47 years, killing people for 47 years, whether it's the barracks or even the SS coal where they were involved. Very strongly, they always denied it. But where they were very strongly involved and all of the people that died through the roadside bombs, and all of the people that died in our right now walking around with no legs, no arms, a face that's been so badly damaged. The Iranian regime has been attacking Americans in spreading terror for 47 years and despite these countless opportunities to renounce their nuclear ambitions, which they had just a short while ago, they told Mr. Whitgoth, who is standing right over here, They actually said we want to keep building essentially in a real nutshell. We want to continue to build nuclear weapons. If we didn't knock out Midnight Hammer, if we didn't knock out their Iranian potential, if we didn't do that with Midnight Hammer, they would have had a nuclear weapon. They would have used it long before now. And at a minimum, Israel would have been annihilated. It was very lucky that we had the courage to do that, we had to talented pilots and the great equipment to be two bombers are unbelievable. We ordered 25 more, by the way. The newer, better version. It's, we have the greatest military in the world. We have the greatest equipment in the world by far. You see that, no matter where we go. You still need the people, though, to operate it and to use it. And those are the people that we cherish. Even after we obliterated their key nuclear sites, in operation Midnight Hammer, they never negotiated in good faith. They still continued to say we want to build nuclear. We want enrichment at levels that were unacceptable. And they even turned down an offer for unlimited free nuclear fuel forever for civilian purposes. We had people offering them free nuclear fuel. They weren't interested in that because they wanted to build a nuclear weapon. So instead, the regime was trying to reconstitute its weapons program at a different site. They couldn't go back to where they were, the three sites that we obliterated. But they were starting working at another site, a different site, different kind of a site.
