Charlie Kirk, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Tucker Carlson Rally Phoenix for Donald Trump's Final Arizona Campaign Stop

[cheering] Hello. Hello, Phoenix. [cheering] Hello, dear wonderful, wonderful people of this great state of Arizona. [cheering] I come to you today as a former Democrat from California [cheering] and I come to you today with an apology. I am sorry what this party has done to the good people of this country. [cheering] I come to you with an apology for the despicable behavior of name calling. Nobody in this room or in this country is deplorable. [cheering] Nobody is garbage in this room. [cheering] And it is wrong for a president of the United States to divide this country as he has. And we are the brave people in this room that will unite it again. [cheering] I love you and I love this country. [cheering] When I was asked by Bob Bobby Kennedy to run with him as his vice president, I told a friend and he said to me, Nicole, he was a former Democrat. He said to me, Nicole, I think the government needs something that politics can't give it right now. He said, "I think it actually needs an exorcism." And I laughed. I I laughed because I thought it was a joke. He was dead serious. Dead serious. And I've learned over the last eight months that what is going on here is deeper than politics. It is deeply spiritual and [cheering] we are being called to rise above the hatred and the fear and the evil. [cheering] We are being called to not be puppets of corporate interests. We are being called to be individual sovereigns here in the goodness and the grace of God. [cheering] [applause] You know, I've seen the belly of the beast. I've met all those celebrities we see doing those endorsements. I've been at some of these parties where people fall on the ground because of a drug overdose and nobody cares about them. I've knelt on the ground next to these individuals and picked them up and looked in their eyes and wondered what the hell they were doing with their lives. There are good people in this country and they're everywhere and they're more populous than this tiny segment of the population that has been responsible for so much of our pain. And it stops now. [cheering] Yes. [applause] [cheering] It stops when we start asking questions out loud because we are fearless. And when mothers realize we can't just keep whispering to each other anymore. We mothers cannot stay in our homes calling one another with our desperate concerns because it's gotten too desperate. We have to come out on this stage now. [cheering] And I will share with you that coming out on this stage has cost me dearly. They have ripped my reputation apart. They have threatened things that I didn't know people could take away from someone in this country. [cheering] [applause] They will even threaten taking your children away for rising up against big pharma. Boo. No more. Your instinct and your intuition about what is going on in this country is absolutely spot-on. [cheering and applause] You are some of the brightest people and you caught on to this and you were brave enough more so than I was and many of the people I know who are still remaining silent today. You guys come up. come out and you show up because you're freaking brave. [cheering] [applause] This country will heal. And it is healing now. We're all afraid of the degree of cheating that is happening right in front of our eyes. The parading of Jill Biden at a panda suit yesterday right in front of our eyes. What the hell is this mockery? No more. No more. [cheering] [cheering] No more. No more. [cheering] I have my California state ballot here. This is my actual ballot. [cheering] [applause] Millions of Americans have shed blood for this piece of paper [cheering] and it cannot be taken in vain. My name happens to be on this one. [laughter] When Bobby called me and he said, "The big guy wants to talk," I was like, "God?" And he said, "No, Donald Trump." And he shared with me that on the day of President Trump's near assassination, he received a call from him and in earnest talked manto man, individual sovereign to individual sovereign and they connected about their mutual love of this country. [cheering] Because the real men in this country know how to put their egos aside. Yeah. [cheering] And they know that we have to make America healthy again. [cheering and applause] So, despite the novelty of seeing my name on here next to a bubble, I will be a first time Trump voter tonight. [cheering] [cheering] [applause and cheering] I hope [cheering] [applause] [applause and cheering] USA. [cheering] [cheering] Hold it up. [cheering] I really mean it when I say that I am apologizing for all of the people on the left who don't understand their bad behavior. I am so sorry. We will unite this country under an umbrella of love and mutual understanding, of dignity and grace. [cheering] Yes. I'm gonna just close. I don't have anything better to say but go out there and vote for this wonderful man, Donald J. Trump [cheering] [cheering] because he is someone who knows what it is to give it all up for this country. So, thank you. Without further ado, I'd like to introduce Charlie Kirk now to the stage. [cheering] [cheering] [cheering] Thank you everybody. Are we ready TO WIN ARIZONA THIS TUESDAY? [cheering] OH, it's been a long time coming for all of us in this room. We remember what's happened these last couple election cycles. We we have we have seen this movement sweep the country. And I got to tell you guys, this is a very very special evening. Do you know the first ever MAGA rally was held in Phoenix, Arizona? And tonight is as a candidate, Donald Trump's last visit as a candidate to Arizona, completing that nine-year journey. And let's remember, why did Donald Trump choose Arizona as the first ever MAGA rally? It's because Donald Trump's values have not changed over the last 40 years. From the golden escalator to this stage tonight, Donald Trump was clear that our country will be invaded no longer and we will not put up with our sovereignty being jeopardized. That's why he came to Arizona. This state helped launch the movement that has swept the globe. This state has been, let's just say, not exactly, what's the best word I could I could say? Um, accurately reflected in elections. Thank you, sir. Is that a nice way to put it? Too nice. Well, talk to me on Wednesday. I'll be a little more candid. Everybody, this is this is a this is a monumental time that we're living through right now. And the stakes of this election, you all know them and that's why you are here. You're going to hear tonight and you just How awesome was that from Nicole, by the way? Wasn't that just amazing? [cheering] There's something profound happening in this country where Kla Harris gets Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger and we get Bobby Kennedy, Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard. [cheering] They say that Trump is good at making deals. That is the best political trade in the history of political trades. Everybody, [cheering] [applause] the realignment is it does not matter if you are a Republican or Democrat. It does not matter the label that you used to call yourself. It simply matters. Do you love the country? And do you want to do whatever it takes to save the country from these robber barons, from these ideological zealots and these partisans that have been stealing our money, going after our children, and sending us into no- win wars halfway across the globe. What this election is about is where you have a Kennedy endorsing Donald Trump. Tulsi Gabbard, the former co-chair of the DNC, endorsing Donald Trump. We are the party of free speech, of borders. We are the party of openness to ideas and they are the party of war, censorship, and ugliness. And you saw it on display where the current president of the United States thinks that you're a bunch of garbage. Well, look around, Mr. President, because there's a lot of garbage here tonight. [cheering] [cheering and applause] And this Tuesday, we're going to take out the garbage of the White House, and we're going to be back in charge of this country. [cheering] [cheering and applause] and everybody, your work is paying off. But tonight is not your contribution for the election. The Democrats are not just going to roll over and hand us back this beloved state. This is our home. And our home these last couple election cycles, I I have a pit in my stomach still from 2020. Are you with me? I have I I feel sick from what has happened in 2022. And you guys have stepped up, but we're not there yet. You see, in 2020, we were down a couple points at this time in early voting. As of today, we are beating the Democrats by eight points in early voting. Eight points, and we have a lot of work yet to do. This weekend must be a weekend where you go completely nuts. Where you go knock on every neighbor's door. where you download the Turning Point Action app and you canvas your neighborhood. You find every low propensity voter imaginable. I'm curious, how many of you already voted? Raise your hand if you voted. That's a lot of hands. And if you have already voted, you need to go find two or three or four or five or six other people. Your job and your duty and your task is not done. This state is going to determine the future of the United States of America. And you look at the issues set in front of us. Arizona has been a victim of every failed policy by Kla Harris and Joe Biden. Open borders, record inflation. When Donald Trump was president, you could buy a home in Phoenix, Arizona if you earned $75,000 a year. Now, it requires $135,000 a year to purchase a home just in Phoenix, Arizona. Not to mention the millions of people coming across the southern border. And you look at what Donald Trump will do. You know, they Kla Harris, they asked the question, "What are you going to do for the economy?" She says, "Well, you know, I was raised in a middle class family." Okay, we got that. And by the way, ju just so we're setting the record straight, Donald Trump has worked longer at McDonald's than Kla Harris ever has. Just just for the record, [cheering] on day one, Donald Trump, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on social security. Drill, baby, drill. Secure the border. End World War III. And no men in women's sports. And that's just day one, everybody. [cheering] That's just day one. They are not just going to hand over the country to you because we have big crowds and we're doing well in early voting. These next couple of days, I do not want to see a spirit of cockiness or confidence. I want you to rewatch the photos on your iPhone and go back and watch what happened when they called Arizona 90 minutes after polls closed. Do you remember that? I want you to recreate the anger that you felt. I want you to recreate that pit of the stomach of those of you that lived here your whole life and you thought this state would never ever ever send its votes to a Democrat as president. And no, I I totally I'm right there with you. And so the the essence is this though is that we can all do more to make sure that will never happen again. And in the coming days that will be determined. Here is the fact. There are hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters right now in the valley that have received mail and ballots that have not yet submitted them. We need to find those people and get them in the system. There are hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters that may or may not show up. These are plumbers, electricians, and welders. These are people that we love and that we cherish might say, "Oh, my vote won't matter." You You need to convince them to go to the polls and get their vote in and bring two friends with them. You see, what they're doing, the Democrats are counting on is the only way that they're able to maintain with power is if we stay at home and we do not turn out in record numbers. And this is a realignment that we are living through in real time. As you know, I'm seeing it firsthand. We just completed today our 25th campus stop in support of Donald Trump. 25. And [cheering] I go to college campuses so you don't have to. But I'll tell you, there is something happening on these campuses. We can't find rooms big enough to fit all the students that want to attend our campus events. And I am happy to report that young men are the most conservative that they have been in 50 years, everybody. In 50 years, [cheering] [applause] the table is set. We outnumber them. We have more support, but do we have more votes? The question is, we have to turn our support into votes. And that is where the grittiness comes in. Where this weekend, instead of just sitting around watching football, come to one of our Superchase events that we have coming across all across the valley. Go knock on five doors. Go make yourself an active participant. Say, "Oh, Charlie, you know what does that mean?" Let me just demonstrate. Very easy. Step one, wear the MAGA hat. Step two, go into a Denny's and people compliment it and say, "Have you voted? Have you voted? Have you voted? Have you voted?" Be everybody, we need to flood the zone with public support of Donald Trump in this state and get every last voter out to the polls. Every last one. And I will close with this. [cheering] I was raised in Chicago, but this is my home [cheering] and I love this state. This is the best place in America and I could live anywhere I want. I live here for a reason. No one asks where you went to college. I wouldn't be able to tell them cuz I didn't go to college. No one No one here cares who your parents are. Arizona is what America should be. It's how do you act? What is your character? And what do you do? This is the best the country has to offer. This state, [cheering] state 48, is a state that loves liberty. It's a state that loves freedom. It's a state that cherishes the founding ideals of this nation. I moved here for a reason. And I believe we are all here for God's purpose, to liberate this state from Democrat control. And we'll all see it on CNN on election night. If we do the work, we can now project the 11 electoral votes of Arizona to Donald J. Trump. Get to work, everybody. Let's win this thing. [cheering] [applause] [cheering] And give it up for Senator Mike Lee, everybody. [applause] [cheering] Hello. Hello, [screaming] Arizona. Hey, how about Charlie Kirk? Is he a hero or what? [cheering] [applause] And by the way, um, happy Halloween to everyone. I'm so glad that you came to join me and Charlie Kirk and Tucker Carlson and Donald J. Trump instead of greeting trick-or-treaters. Look, if you're like me and most of the people throughout this great country, you like treats, but you're sick and tired of the tricks. No more tricks from Washington. [cheering] [applause] And you know, speaking of trick-or-treating, I wonder what Kamla's doing tonight. Is she at the Naval Observatory in Washington greeting the trick-or-treaters? If so, what on earth is she giving them? I imagine her handing out these like vegan candies or Brussels sprouts. Maybe jello shots or vaccines. I don't know. But it's not right. It's not right. Look, um Arizona, you are right at the epicenter. You are the epicenter of the epicenter of America's fate. You hear this all the time. uh every 2 years, then every four years, you hear the most important election of your lifetime. But you know what? This one really is. It actually is because the heart and soul of America, our future, our existence, our freedom, our ability to do what we do best, work hard and provide for our families is under attack. And I'm so glad that I get to be with you tonight because you're going to decide our fate. So, I thank you. I thank you in advance for what we're going to do for us on Tuesday and what we'll learn about Tuesday night when they announced Donald J. Trump and Carrie Lake have been elected. [cheering] [applause] And they go together, don't they? Donald Trump and Carrie Lake. We need them both. Both of them. Because in order to bring about Donald J. Trump's policies, we've got to move things through the Senate. Now, this is an institution where the median age is 168. [laughter] Carrie Lake is a uniquely good senator in embryo. And on Tuesday, you're going to make it happen, aren't you? [applause and cheering] But look, let let's talk about some of what's at stake, okay? There are a lot of issues on the ballot, but I want to talk about three in particular in the few minutes that we've got. Number one, religious freedom is at stake. Religious freedom is on the ballot. And if you don't believe me, let's just look at a couple of things that will tell us why it's on the ballot. You know, President Trump's opponent, whose name rhymes with Hamleras, she was once a senator. She was a senator for four years. I worked with her during that time. One of the centerpieces of her legislative agenda was a bill that like so many Democratic bills was ironically named had the Orwellian name of the Do No Harm Act. Now when a Democrat names a bill like that, what do you expect? Is that going to be good? The Do No Harm Act does the exact opposite of Do No Harm. The Do No Harm Act would completely gut the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which is an important protection for your First Amendment rights to the free exercise of religion. Are we okay with that in Arizona? No. No. Heavens no. And you know, I I I I I can say that with some authority because I was born here and my ancestors helped found they were some of the first Mormon pioneers in Arizona and in Utah. You know, my people came here for one reason. They were just wanted to live and be free. They were seeking freedom because, you know, we're heretics and we were getting shot at in Missouri and Ohio and then Illinois. So, we ended up in the Rocky Mountains and settled Utah and Arizona. This is a place where regardless of what your ancestral background is, regardless of what your faith might be, this is a place where people understand the need for faith. that faith and freedom are inextricably intertwined. And this administration, the Donald J. Trump administration, will restore those protections that Kla Harris wants to burn to the ground. And we're not going to let that happen. [applause and cheering] I've thought a lot about why it is that she's trying to undermine religious freedom so much. And then it occurs to me. Let's see. She was raised by a Marxist, an actual Marxist professor. What do we know about Marxists? Marxists don't like God. They don't like God because they want government to be their deity. And yet, just like the idolattors of old, it never ends well for those who depart from that, for those who indulge in that kind of idolatry. So, we're not going to accept that. But more importantly, we know that the greatest strength behind our freedom is our religious freedom and our faith. Because when we have faith, we understand that government's there to do a narrow, unique job. It's not there to be our God. And so, let's remind the people in Washington DC of that. [cheering] [applause] By the way, Ruben Ggo is right there. Fix his thieves with Kla Harris on religious freedom and everything else. We cannot let Arizona elect Reuben. All right. What else is on the ballot? parental rights, parental discretion, your ability to direct your own family, your ability to raise your own children without undue interference from federal policy, federal policy that would make them, oh, I don't know, u compete against boys if they're girls in sports teams, share a locker room with boys or a restroom with boys, and subject them to filth in their libraries. [cheering] You know, the left is always accusing us of trying to ban books. We're not book burners. We just don't want filth in our classrooms. Not in our curriculum. Not in our libraries. [applause] You're the parent. You're in charge. Your constitutional rights stand there to connect you to your child. The government will never replace you as a parent. And Donald Trump and Carrie Lake will make darn sure of it. [applause] What else is on the ballot? Well, the economy is on the ballot. Economic strength is on the ballot. The strength of your own accounts, your own wallet is on the ballot. You know, a few years ago, some researchers conducted a study to figure out what it is that makes the difference. what amount of money it is that makes the difference between people feeling like they're prospering and getting by just fine and like they're about to sink, between success and the feeling of failure. Do you know what it often is? It often comes down to about $300 a month. That's not very much. And yet people in Arizona, just like people in Utah and people pretty much everywhere in America, the average family has to shell out an additional 11 or $1,200 every single month just for your basic living expenses because of Kala Harris's reckless spending in Washington. And it's a true fact. These are the people, these are the same people who said, "Yeah, we're going to control inflation." and they controlled it with the Inflation Reduction Act, which is a lot like the Do No Harm Act. It did the opposite of what it said it would do. It's like fighting a house on fire by throwing gasoline on it. But Donald Trump and Carrie Lake have the antidote to that. They're not going to promise that the federal government can do this directly. What they're going to say is, "We're going to get the federal government out of your way. [cheering] [applause] Kla Harris wants to raise your tax rates. Are you okay with that? [cheering] Kla Harris wants to tax you literally on money that you have not yet earned. Are you okay with that? Donald Trump and Carrie Lake want you to be able to keep what you earn. That's what you deserve cuz you've worked hard. [cheering and applause] Look, at the end of the day, we're not the party that calls people on the other party garbage. We just call their POLICIES GARBAGE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE. [cheering] [applause] We've been told for far too long to settle to settle for something less than a government that honors and complies with that document some two and a half centuries old written by ways wise men raised up by God to that very purpose the United States Constitution. We've been told to settle for a government that doesn't respect it, that doesn't think it imposes limitations and that it shouldn't. Well, do you know what? The sole purpose of the constitution, of any constitution, is to restrain the government. To make sure that you can do what you do best, work hard, provide for your families, and live your lives as you deem fit. [applause and cheering] That's what Donald Trump and Carrie Lake both offer you. It's not a new deal. In fact, it's a very old deal. But it is a fair one. It's a deal that understands that you are the sovereign. The government works for you, not the other way around. Kla Harris broke it. Donald Trump can fix it. And it all starts with Arizona. LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN ON TUESDAY. [applause and cheering] SO, don't settle. Don't settle for a government that recognizes no boundaries. Expect limited government. Don't settle for multi- trillion dollar deficits. Expect a government that understands that it's your money and they're messing with your money when they spend too much. It's time, my fellow Americans, to expect more. It's time to expect freedom. And it's time to elect Donald Trump and Carrie Lake. [applause] [applause] It's now my great honor to introduce to you Kelly Mains, a man who's going to help make America healthy again. Please welcome Kelly. [cheering] [cheering] [applause] hours after an assassin's bullet ripped through President Trump's ear, he received a phone call. That phone call was from Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. [cheering] In the previous year, RFK had built one of the largest independent political movements in modern American history, attaining 20% report uh support among Americans in polls. RFK and President Trump disagreed on many things, but the topic of this call that day was unity. [applause] Most prominently, he called to talk about what's happening to American children. Why in the greatest agricultural powerhouse the world has ever known are 20% of our children malnourished? Why are 50% of teens overweight or obese? But the USDA recommendations say that added sugar can be a healthy part of a 2-year-old's diet. Why is the American Academy of Pediatrics pushing lifetime ozipic jabs for any six-year-old who happens to be overweight instead of talking about healthy food or exercise? Why are childhood cancer rates at an all-time high? Why have prescriptions of anti-depressants, statins, metformin doubled in prescription rates among teens in recent years? Why do one out of 24 children in California have autism? Why is the NIH hiding, deliberately hiding research about what the COVID vaccine is doing to children? [cheering] 40% of teens today are on a pharmaceutical. Are these making kids healthier? Why does Harvard Medical School forbid the term mother and insist their doctors use the term birthing person? Why is infertility skyrocketing? And why are parents being shamed for asking simple questions about what they're putting into their child's bodies? [applause] These conversations led to a defining political moment in this very stadium on August 23rd when President Trump and Robert F. Kenny Jr. joined hands and said, "Let's make America healthy again." On behalf of American kids, American parents, Americans in general, they said enough. Now, since coming down the golden escalator into American life and political life, Donald Trump has stood up against corruption and institutions holding us back. As Bobby and President Trump described on this stage, there is no greater example of this corruption than the healthc care incentives that profit from a sick child. They explained these trends can be reversed quickly by rooting out conflicts of interest in the CDC, NIH, FDA, and USDA and by [cheering and applause] it can be done very quickly. And by spurring benefit flexibility, eliminating mandates, opening up HSA, FSAs, and other flexible funds to let you as a patient describe to decide what's best for your child, not some government mandate. [applause] [cheering] When Bobby Kennedy and Donald Trump joined together, it res represented a historic realignment in American politics. It is no longer left versus right. It is about the American people versus a military industrial complex that is making us less secure. An education industrial complex that is making our children less competitive. And a healthcare industrial complex that is profiting when Americans get sicker, fatter, more depressed, and more infertile. [applause] Now, as President Trump told Joe Rogan, the special interests are working to stop us, but these slithering pharma defenders do not have the voters. Ladies and gentlemen, President Trump is backstage. Can we please let him hear how much we appreciate that he is standing up for us? STANDING UP FOR US. THIS IS SPECIAL INTEREST. WE NEED TO HEAR. He needs to hear us. [cheering] Let him hear. [cheering] [applause] Bring that emotion a balance box and let's propel President Trump and Robert King to take out this corruption. Now, after my mom died of a preventable disease, my sister Dr. Casey means and I decided to devote our lives to reversing the chronic disease epidemic. We wrote a book, Good Energy, [cheering] with the simple thesis that conditions plaguing us are connected. We need to stop treating conditions with ineffective drugs and silos and appreciate the interconnectedness of our beautiful human body. This is a spiritual issue. One of the first calls we received when this book was published was from Tucker Carlson who wanted to promote this message. [applause and cheering] Ladies and gentlemen, we have the microphone. Independent me independent media is working hard to let the light out. They're trying to squash on the other side, but we are using our first amendment rights and getting these issues out louder than they've ever been. Tucker, Joe Rogan, Megan Kelly, Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Glenn Beck, Chris Williamson, Jordan Peterson, they're changing the world. [cheering] [applause] It depends on free speech and they're letting it out. It depends on breaking free of corporate media where farmer funding is their lifeblood. Let's please give a round of applause to Tucker and the other warriors of independent media who are changing the world. [cheering] Do not let anyone tell you this election is not about big ideas. President Trump and his unity team of JD Vance, Elon Musk, Tulsi Galvan, Micole Shanahan, Vet Ramaswami and so many others are making this election about big existential ideas. And it is my pleasure to introduce a key member of this coalition, a man who is going to help President Trump make America healthy again, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. [cheering] [cheering] [music] Thank you. [cheering] [music] Thank you. [cheering] Thank you. [cheering] [cheering] Thank you. [cheering] [cheering] [cheering] Thank you. Thank you. [cheering] I smell a landslide on Tuesday. [cheering] [applause] Oh, I I've been on the road for 19 months now and [cheering] [applause] a little over [laughter] a little [screaming] a little over. Thank you. Thank you, MAGA. [cheering] [applause] [cheering] I lost a lot of friends and a lot of family, but um I have a much bigger family now. [cheering] [cheering] [applause] So we're all held together by blood and by DNA and that is our basic relationships in our lives. But the most important relationships come from shared values. And everybody in this auditorium shares the value. They love this country and they love freedom [cheering] [applause] and they love our Bill of Rights and our Constitution. And I saw those things in danger in a very acute way during the COVID pandemic. And that is one of the principal reasons that I made the decision 19 months ago to run for president of the United States. And then [applause and cheering] a little over a year ago, I left the Democratic Party. [cheering] [applause] That was that was a difficult decision for me because the Democratic Party was the home for me that it was incomprehensible to me that I would ever leave it. My my great greatgrandparents came over here, all of them in 1848 during the height of the potato famine. They landed on the docks of Boston, penniless, and they were met there by the Democratic Party. And the party took care of them. It found them homes. It found them jobs. It located them in communities. It was where their churches were. And it gave them a sense of value and community and a love for this country. And my greatgrandfather, Honey Fitz, was the first Irish Catholic mayor of Boston. his contemporary Patrick Kennedy was the was a state senator and a political boss in Boston. My uncle John Kennedy was the first Irish Catholic president. [cheering] My uncle Ted Kennedy was the longest second longest serving member of the United States Senate. My father was a US senator and attorney general and died [cheering] [applause] running for president of the United States. And it was inconceivable to me that I would ever leave the Democratic Party. But I didn't leave the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party left me. [cheering] [applause] The Democratic Party that I grew up with was the party of peace. It was the party of civil rights and constitutional rights and particularly freedom of speech. It was the party that had skepticism toward the CIA and the national security state. It was the party that was also skeptical of Wall Street and the corporate domination of American democracy. It was the party of women's rights. My uncle Ted Kennedy wrote Title N to make sure that women could play sports in college. [cheering] [applause] And it was the party of democracy. It was the party that fought hard to make sure that every American had the right to vote for the candidate that they chose to vote for. Today's Democratic Party is the party of war. It's the party of Dick Cheney. It's the party. It's the party of John Bolton. He These were the people who lied us into the Iraq war. The greatest foreign policy cataclysm in American history. It was these are the men who wrote the Patriot Act that introduced the surveillance state and gave the CIA permission to spy on Americans to propagandize Americans. It's the party that is trying to dismantle Title Nine and let and let men play women's sports. The party I grew up with was the party of cops and firefighters and working people. [applause and cheering] And now that's the Republican party. [cheering] [applause] The Democratic Party today is no longer the party that is skeptical of the CIA. The CIA and the neocons wrote Kla Harris's speech at the Democratic convention. The most bellose pugnacious speech that we've ever seen at a Democratic convention. Before she went on, she was immediately preceded by a former CIA director. This is would be unthinkable in the Democratic party I grew up in. They've become the party of the swamp. They become corruption. The party of Wall Street, of big tech, of big data, of big pharma. of big agg, big chemical and the military-industrial complex [cheering] and their party not of civil rights but of division that is tearing our country apart. And so I made a decision to run for president in 19 months ago. A little over a year ago, I left the Democratic Party for all of those reasons. And then in August of of August of this year, President Trump called me on August 23rd, immediately after his shooting at Butler. He called me three hours later on the telephone, and he asked me to meet with him the next day in Milwaukee. And we had a two and a half hour meeting then and a number of subsequent meetings. And during those meetings, he urged me to unify our parties and to work with him [cheering] [applause] to to reclaim the values that Robert Kennedy stood for, that John Kennedy stood for. [cheering] He said it he he wanted to end the forever wars and bring that 200 billion that we've sent to the Ukraine home to rebuild America. [applause] He told me that he wanted to end the censorship and end the surveillance and the propaganda. [cheering] [applause] and that he wanted to end put an end to the weaponization of law enforcement agencies against the American political system [cheering] [applause] and that he wanted to end this corrupt merger of state and corporate power that has turned our regulatory agencies predatory against the American public. [applause] And he said that he wanted to make America healthy again [cheering] [applause] and end the chronic disease epidemic that is destroying our children. And that is an existential threat to our nation. When my uncle was president and I was a 10-year-old boy, the rate of chronic disease in this country was 6%. Today, it's 60%. When my uncle was president, we spent zero on chronic disease in this country. There were no drugs to treat it. Today, we spend $4.3 trillion. We need you. 4.3 trillion. That's five times our military budget. It's the largest cost to our nation and it is bankrupting us and it is destroying us morally because we are betraying our children by letting these industries poison them. [applause] The rate the rate of obesity at that time was 3%. Today it's 50% in our children and it 70 74% of Americans are obese or overweight. Well, we didn't suddenly become lazy and gluttonous. We are being mass poisoned by corrupt industry [applause and cheering] in Japan where they don't have this kind of corruption. The obesity rate is 3%. That's what it's supposed to be, 3%. It's not supposed to be 50%. And this is a national security threat. 77% of American kids are no longer qualified for military service because of chronic disease diagnosis. And what are these diseases? They're obesity. They're neurodedevelopment disorders. And I'm going to list some of them because I'm a 70-y old man. And when I was a boy, I never heard of any of these diseases because nobody had them. You know, I had 11 siblings. I had about 70 first cousins. And I didn't know anybody with ADD, ADHD, speech delay, language delay, sleep disorders, Tourett syndrome, narcolepsy, ASD, or autism. The autism rate in my generation today in 70year-old men is 1 in 10,000. The autism rate in our children is 1 in 34. In California, as Cali just said, it's 1 in 24 and the rate in boys is much higher. We also saw this explosion of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease and lupus and juvenile diabetes. All of these exotic diseases that we never heard of as a kid. The diabetes rate when I was a kid was effectively zero. A typical pediatrician when I was a young boy would see one case of diabetes in his lifetime, in his career, a 40 or 50 year career. Today, one out of every three children who walks through his office door is diabetic or pre-diabetic. And nobody's talking about it. Nobody's saying anything. Nobody is recognizing that we are being mass poisoned by big pharma and big food [applause] [cheering] [applause] and all these allergic diseases that suddenly appeared. I never knew a kid anywhere in any of the schools that I went to that had a peanut allergy or food allergies or eczema. My brother had asthma and he was told by his doctor there will never be a cure for asthma because it's so rare that nobody will ever study it. Today, one out of every eight black children in America's cities has asthma. what is happening to our children? And I saw this happening and I began writing about it and the media rose up and silenced me in 2005. And nobody would talk about it. The doctors wouldn't talk about it. The pediatricians wouldn't talk about it. The scientists, the government officials, and people warned me, "If you keep talking about this, you're going to destroy your career." And I was stunned by this. And for 19 years since 2005, I spend 30 minutes praying every day when I get out of bed. And I [applause] [applause] [cheering] [cheering] [applause] [applause] [applause] And my prayer is this. I asked God for 19 years to put me in a position where I could end the chronic disease epidemic [cheering] and bring health back to our children. [applause] [cheering] [applause] And in August, God sent me Donald Trump. [applause] [applause and cheering] [applause] [cheering] Now, we're five days out from an election, and it's an election that we are certain to win if every vote is counted. [cheering] If all the votes are counted, we're going to win this election. [cheering and applause] Oh, now the medical industrial complex. And I want to remind you of this. I've been told to go on a little longer because because President Trump is not yet in the building. Oh, you know, [cheering] [cheering] [applause and cheering] I was only going to tell you this. [cheering] [cheering] When I when I was when I was 7 years old, my I went to the inauguration of my uncle as president in Washington DC. And three days before that, President Eisenhower, the outgoing president, made what today we have to regard as the most important speech in American history. And it was the speech where he told Americans that they should be in fear of the emergence of a military-industrial complex that would erode our democracy, that would subvert our democratic institutions, that would steal our money and steal our resources and bankrupt the middle class in this country and make us weak in the long run. And I urge you to go look at that speech because after he talks about the military-industrial complex, he says, and by the way, just as bad is the medical industrial complex, which will pervert science, which will lie to the public, which will turn science to serve industrial and corporate interests. the mercantile ambitions of big corporations. Oh. Oh. As soon as Donald Trump started talking about giving me the power, he asked me to do three things. He asked me to root out the corruption. [cheering] [applause and cheering] and end the conflicts of interest in our regulatory agencies. [cheering] [applause] And end this corporate capture that has turned our regulatory agencies into sock puppets of the industries they're supposed to regulate. [cheering] [applause] And he asked me to restore the tradition of gold standard empirically based evidence-based science and medicine in our regulatory agencies [cheering] [applause] and to restore the transparency. Oh, that these agencies have to must stop hiding science from us when it clashes with the commercial ambitions of the of the pharmaceutical industry. [applause and cheering] And he doesn't want me to take vaccines away from people. If you want to take a vaccine, you ought to be able to take it. We believe in free choice in this country. [cheering] [applause] Oh, you ought to know the risks and benefits of everything you take. [cheering] And we need good science for that. And we need informed consent. [cheering] And he asked me to do that. And then he asked me to end the chronic disease epidemic in this country. [applause] And he said [cheering] and he said I want to see results measurable results in the diminishment of chronic disease within two years. And I said Mr. President I will do that. [applause] [applause] [cheering] [applause] Oh, [cheering] [cheering] oh, this has caused a lot of aggra aggravation and apoplelexy among a certain class of the medical elites. And today, the Washington Post and NBC and the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal all did articles talking about what a catastrophe it's going to be if I get anywhere near the medical establishment. [cheering] And I read the articles because I wanted to see the names of the people who were denouncing me. And every one of them is on the pharma payroll. [cheering] These are what the media calls experts, but these are the same experts that made us the sickest country in the history of the world. [cheering] Whatever they're doing is not working. We had during this country, these are the guys who gave us the COVID counter measures, which shut down our schools, which closed our churches, which shut down 3.3 million businesses in this country, all the little businesses. and they left open the Walmarts and Facebook and all of the big people who were cashing in on the pandemic. And these are the people who are treating disease. For them, for these people, the most valuable asset in America is a sick child. They don't want your child dead. They want him sick for life. Zenies depend on their products and every and the more statins they prescribe for heart disease, the more heart disease goes up. The more metaphor they prescribe for diabetes, the more diabetes we have. The more anti-depressants they prescribe, the more people we have who are depressed. The more ambient they describe, the more insomnia there is. The more opioids they they prescribe, the more pain there is. The more Viagra they prescribe, the higher ED goes. And so these drugs, their formula, this pharmaceutical paradigm is not working. And President Trump wants to do something different. [cheering] [applause] [cheering] And somebody called me, one of the anchors of ABC today, and I had an off the [laughter] record discussion with him, and he said, "There's so much division in this country." And I said, "That's cuz you're causing it." [cheering] [applause] my nephew who's traveled with me for 19 months. He's my wife Cheryl's nephew and he's been working for me for 19 months and traveled everywhere with me and he's met President Trump many times now. And he said to me today, he said, "Everybody who's met President Trump loves President Trump." [cheering] He said, "You can't help but love him." So why does half of America hate him? They haven't met him. And the media is telling them to hate him. [cheering] And I said this. I said, "You're demonizing him. You're vilifying him. You're calling us garbage. You're calling him Hitler. You're calling him a fascist." And of course people are going to hate him. And I said, "And by the way, you're writing all these articles condemning me coming into Washington dismantling the pharmaceutical paradigm. Where are you getting your salary?" From pharma. [cheering] [applause] And he said, "We tell both sides of the story." And I said, "No, you don't." And he said, "Well, President Trump is saying radical things." I said, "Like what?" He said, "He's going to pull He said he's going to pull CBS's license." [cheering] [applause] And I said, "He ought to pull CBS's license. [cheering] CBS doesn't own the airwaves. We do. The people of the United States own the airwaves. [cheering] CBS is licensed to use the airwaves, but only for a public purpose to advance the public benefit. We have a doctrine in this country called the fairness doctrine that says if you if you're running if you're licensed to own a network, you got to tell the news at least once a day. And you got to be fair to both sides. And I I said to this guy, I said, you know, I was running for 19 months. When when Ros Perau ran in 1992 for for 10 months, he did 34 live interviews on on the airwaves on on the national networks. And I said, I did four in 19 months. and your network never let me on a single time. You're only telling one side of the story and you are you're the only thing you'll report about Donald Trump is propaganda to make people despise him. And you know, one of the things I'm going to advise Donald Trump to do in order to correct the chronic disease epidemic is to ban pharmaceutical advertising on TV. [cheering] [applause] [applause] There there's only there's only two countries in the world that allow pharmaceutical advertising on the airwaves. One of them is New Zealand and the other is us. And we have the highest disease rate and we buy more drugs and they're more expensive than anywhere in the world. Italy spends about6 that we spend on on healthcare and they and Italians live seven years longer. So whatever they're doing does not work and don't you want a president who is going to fix this country? [cheering] Don't you want a president who's going to end the addiction to foreign wars? [cheering] And and don't you want a president who's going to end their censorship and surveillance and return freedom of speech to our country? [applause] And don't you want a pre president who's going to clean out the corruption and drain the swamp at the regulatory agencies [cheering] and get the chemicals out of our food [cheering and applause] and protect our children and restore their health and make America the healthiest country in the world, which it was when I was a kid. [cheering] Don't you want a president who's going to make America healthy again? And don't we deserve a president who will make America great again? And will you go to the polls on Tuesday [applause and cheering] and make sure that we all ride that big garbage truck to Washington DC? No. [cheering] [applause] [cheering] Now, I want to bring on my friend and one of my great heroes, Tucker Carlson. Thank you all very much. [cheering] like this. The impact of Black Lives Matter and their brilliance, they're not going to stop and they should not. The people who are responsible for it are the most dishonest. We've been to the border. You haven't been to the border. I And I haven't been to Europe. What you're watching is not a political movement. It's evil. Imagine a government that totally destroys the country and then criminalizes complaining about it. Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy. Yes. Well, the one thing you can't censor is a live event. [cheering] [music] [music] When he stood up after being shot in the face, this was no longer a man. This was the leader of a nation. [music] Trump is the man who can save the Western world. Call back Trump. Call back Trump. You've been with Donald Trump the last days. Now you're here in Spain. We're in downtown Madrid going to enlighten protest. Who do Nordstream? You for sure. [music] The second you decide to tell the truth about something, you are filled with this power from somewhere else. Try it. The more you tell the truth, the stronger you [music] become. Free speech is the main right that you have. Without it, you have no other. Yeah. And I've [music] set up and caught out this stage with my own two hands. We've traveled this land BACK TIGHT MINIVANS. ALL THIS for the fans, girls, MONEY AND FAME. I PLAYED their game and [music] had to scream my name. I will show no shame. I live and die for this. And if I come off you on this, this is so cool. [cheering] I thank you. I was just [cheering] I was just standing backstage with my wife um who never comes to events like this. Um, she's not very political, but she has very strong political feelings. So strong that she doesn't like to hear about politics because it winds her up. And she says, two seconds ago, she goes, and she's a very sweet person from a religion teacher. And she goes, I want to introduce you. And she has that kind of crazed look in her eye. And I said, I don't know if that's a good idea. Why do you want to introduce me? [cheering] And she said, because I want to lead the crowd in a chant, we are not garbage. [laughter] And I thought that's it right there. The abuse that the best people in the country have taken for the past 8 years is too much. You're garbage. Really? Listen to who's saying that. Anyway, I am really grateful to be here. I never thought that I would be speaking at a rally for Donald Trump. This is the fourth time I've done it. Um, and it has felt not only like an honor and a privilege every time, but it has felt uh really natural. I'm sort of surprised. I was in journalism for 33 years hanging around the I know someone just said, "Woo, it's nothing to brag about. Trust me. I honestly feel like saying I was young and I needed the money." You know, it's almost like when the naughty pictures of you emerge and you're like, "Ah, you know, that was that was the old me." Um, but I, you know, I spent my whole life standing at the back watching and I always thought, uh, politicians, they're they're disgusting. By the way, I still think that. Um, I would never get on stage and endorse one. You'd have to be totally bereft of a soul to do something like that. And here I am with a fullthroated, utterly sincere endorsement of Donald Trump. How did that happen? And I was thinking of I was thinking about that this morning in the shower where I do my best thinking. I like thinking in the shower cuz there's no lying to yourself in the shower. Cuz when you walk out of the shower and you see this kind of furry, lumpy primate in the mirror, there's no imagining your god. No, it's it's very grounding uh to see yourself naked at least once a day. I always think I got to hang a black sheet over that mirror, but I keep it I keep it just to keep me uh on the ground and uh with perspective. Anyway, I was thinking about this morning and I was thinking I've known Donald Trump gosh a long time just from working in television. And what people forget about Donald Trump who was often described as a real estate developer, a casino owner, um both of which are true, but that for you know a huge chunk of his life, 10 years anyway, he had the number one show on television. He had mastered the business that I was in. And you know, on the one hand, television is kind of a repulsive business. It's like a PDY party every night. Um, ew ew ew. Yeah, tell me about it. I spent 30 years doing it. Um, but on the other hand, the people who are really, really successful, and Trump was number one in television all have one thing in common, which is they understand people. And the good ones like people and so and they're liked back. And by the way, you probably know this, but in the TV business, which has spent the last 8 years telling you Trump is a terrifying dictator, he was loved. I mean, everyone loved him and and I liked him. I mean, I liked him from the first time I talked to him 20 years ago. He was hilarious and and interesting and smart and again, incredibly funny. And it was almost 10 years ago. It was the winter of 2015. I was in the car. I actually interviewed Trump that morning. I was working on a TV network that shall not be named. And uh Trump was the guest it and he was of course this famous star on another network. And he did great like he always did. We had a great time. And about 3 hours later I was in the car going somewhere and he called me and he said, "I just want you to know that I'm thinking of running for president." And I just did not take it seriously at all. And I said, "Oh yeah, I'm running for president." Okay. You know, because everyone in TV thinks I should be president. you know, Joe Scarbor wakes up every morning, I should be president, you know, but he's not really going to run because you don't want to give up the salary and it's hard to run for president. It's just a way to sell a book or whatever. So, I kind of laughed and he said, "No, I I'm going to surprise you." And it was such a weird conversation that I actually wrote it down in my calendar. I looked it up today. I wrote it down. Donald Trump calls says he's going to run for president because there was something in his voice that didn't sound like the Trump I thought I knew. There was a resolve there that I thought was amazing. And of course, the rest is history. Almost 10 years later, he has completely transformed the country and the world and the political party under whose banner he ran, the Republican party. [cheering] And for me it was this in incredible journey of watching this guy, covering him, knowing him, um, to where I am now, which is speaking on a stage without any shame at all, not getting paid for it, doing it because I really, really mean it and endorsing him for president. And so I just want to explain how I got here because I think it says a lot about who Trump is. So, the first thing I noticed about Trump was that everybody in the Republican party I had suspicions about hated him immediately. There was something about Donald Trump that whenever he spoke that the people I'd always thought were kind of false, the Jonah Goldbergs of the world, the Mitch McConnell's of the world, they No, I mean, boo boo. But I mean, these were leading figures in the Republican party, my neighbors in Washington DC who are Republicans. You know, here Trump comes out of nowhere. He seems to be gaining traction. People who'd never voted Republican, who never voted at all, seem to like Trump. This seemed like great news if you're trying to expand your political party. And yet, the Republicans in Washington were so offended by Trump that they couldn't even talk about him. I remember being at a Christmas party in 2015 with my affforementioned sweet wife at our neighbor's house. you know, all kinds of people sitting around and someone mentioned Trump. And my wife, who's not political at all, says, "I like Trump." I remember one of my neighbors, oh yeah, I like Trump. That's hilarious. And wife goes, "No, no, I I do like Trump. Why is that bad?" And people, it was like the devil getting splashed with holy water. They just moved back slowly staring at her like, "Is this person dangerous?" That was such a shocking thing to say in Northwest DC in 2015. And I began to ask myself, why is Donald Trump so threatening? Is it because he's got some crazed extremist program? No. Everything he said was kind of moderate and sensible, like, I don't know, we should have a border. And if we're going to have NATO, maybe the countries in NATO should help pay for it. if we're going to defend Europe, maybe they could, you know, pony up a little bit. Why are we paying the entire bill? That didn't seem crazy to me. Boy, they treated Trump like he was a dangerous freak, like he just escaped from the state mental institution. SHACKLES ON HIS ARM AND A BUTCHER KNIFE IN HIS HAND. STOP THIS MAN. And I just remember watching this. I didn't really I wasn't emotional about it at first. I remember thinking, my neighbors all seem so reasonable and sensible, even the Democrats. all kind of normal people and I lived on their street. Why are they so mad about a guy who says stuff like we should have a border? And then I realized that they hated Trump because Trump asked questions they couldn't answer. Like why are we doing it this way? And I remember thinking and saying, "Well, I don't know. Why don't you just answer his question? If not having a border is such a good idea, if it's so important to have a tight labor market, or if you think tariffs are so terrible, why don't you just explain why? Why are you yelling at the guy? No matter what he said, he would get up and say, "I think we should have tariffs." And they would say, "Racist." And I would think to myself, "What do tariffs have to do with race?" I was completely confused. And then over time, within about a year, I realized people hated Trump because they were guilty of crimes. And those people were my NEIGHBORS AND CO-WORKERS. MY MIND EXPLODED. I mean, ultimately, I had to leave the city where I spent my entire life because thanks to Donald Trump, I saw what it really was, which was a scam. It was the richest city in the United States. its suburbs. Eight out of 10 of the richest suburbs were suburbs of Washington DC. And we didn't make anything. THERE WAS NO BUSINESS THERE. There was no production of anything. By the way, there was also no creativity or open-mindedness. How did these people get so rich? Well, by stealing. That's how that had never occurred to me. Till Trump came. And yet everybody involved in the grift knew instantly the jig was up. If this guy keeps talking, we're in deep trouble. [cheering] And I'm not even sure, and he's coming on stage in a minute, and maybe we can ask him. I'm not even sure that when he got to Washington, Donald Trump understood how corrupt the city was. I'm not sure he even knew. He sensed there was a problem. Neither he nor me nor any normal person had any idea that even before he got to the city the CIA and the FBI would be working to destroy him. That's the threat that he posed to them. And what was that threat? Just being honest in a simple way about what he saw telling the truth. They saw the truth as a mortal threat and they see the truth as a mortal threat. Now I really think I mean look let's be completely honest. Donald Trump is the choice of American voters for president. That that's not wish fulfillment. I'm not saying that because I want it to be true, though I do. I'm saying that because it's completely obvious. There is no Democrat running for anything who could fill a hall like this, who could do it four times a day for a year. There's not one. THERE'S NO REPUBLICAN IN WASHINGTON. Could Mitch McConnell fill this hall? I don't think so. Yeah. Every boo is deserved. If you only knew how deserved those booze were. One of the things that we learned from Donald Trump, one of the many, many things completely changed my life watching it. One of the many things we learned is that the Republican party, the leaders of the Republican party really despised their own voters. They had zero interest in improving their lives. And we know this because as a 100,000 a year died of drug overdose, as their towns died from offshoring of industry, as their towns were invaded from people from foreign countries who were here illegally, they did nothing. Their attention was focused abroad to the Middle East and Eastern Europe. That's where all the money went. That's where all the prayers went. That's where all the attention went because that's all they cared about. They didn't care at all about their own voters. And by the way, I didn't really know that. I think most people in this room sense that. You know, when someone doesn't care about you, you can feel it. You can feel the contempt coming off them in oily waves. That's exactly what that is. It's contempt. Joe Biden's not the only one who thinks you're garbage. Actually, Mitch McConnell agrees with that. That's a fact. And that's one of the reasons that they don't want Donald Trump back in Washington. But the main reason they don't want Donald Trump back in Washington is something called disclosure. Do you know what disclosure is? Disclosure means sunlight. Disclosure is the principle that you as an American citizen, an equity owner of this country, not a renter, not a surf, not a slave, but as a citizen, an owner of this country, a person on whose behalf the government exists. There's no other reason to have the government except to serve you. That you have a right to know what that government is doing with your money in your name. It's not a privilege that you are granted. If they're in a good mood one day, you can know a little bit more about how John F. Kennedy was murdered in 1963. You have an absolute moral right to know because you own it. [applause] [cheering] They're your employees who somehow have decided they're your overlords and they're very concerned that if Donald Trump comes back to Washington, we're going to find out what's happened to the hundred billion dollars that we've sent Ukraine over the past two and a half. What happened to that money? There's never been an audit of it. Where do you think it went? Have you been to MLAN recently? Hunter. Yeah. It's not just Hunter Biden, by the way. Hunter Biden, I mean, to his great credit was so high on crack, he couldn't steal half as much as, you know, your your average contractor in Washington and his friends. So, the truth is actual crimes have taken place. crimes that made people rich, crimes that hurt American citizens, and you're not allowed to know their scale or the details about any of them because it's classified. And they're terrified if Donald Trump gets back accompanied by a full cast of reformers, not alone this time, not a single man riding into Washington, [applause and cheering] man against the machine. It's hard to do that. He did it. He fought off two impeachment attempts for daring to do it. But if he comes back with, I don't know, Bobby Kennedy and Elon Musk, [cheering] when he comes back with an army of people who know exactly what's up, they know what's going on. They know where the bodies are likely to be buried, and they're coming with shovels to dig them up. [cheering and applause] What you're seeing now is actual panic [cheering] and desperation. [applause] And I've just I guess I've kind of backhandedly defender defended Hunter Biden on the grounds that he was so out of it he had no idea what was actually going on. I'll extend the same courtesy to Kla Harris and that creepy guy who's falling around on the campaign trail. By the way, AOC just said the other day, speaking of which, AOC, that would be Alexandria Accaziocortez. [laughter] I love that she's this revolutionary who's named after a concistador and doesn't even know it. YOUR LAST NAME IS CORTEZ, HONEY. SIT THIS ONE OUT. Excuse me. And [laughter] be like, Larry Mussolini shows up and is like, "No, I'm against fascism. Really?" All right, got it. What a But she was at a rally in Vegas yesterday and she goes, "Doug Mhof is the model of masculinity." [cheering] Oh man. Yeah. Uh, memo to any unmarried women here. Do not date a feminist man. [laughter] They'll smack you around. Trust me. It's the weak ones you have to be afraid of, but it's the strong ones they're afraid of because they know that what they've done and have been doing for decades could be exposed. And this is existential for them. So, I would just say without putting too fine a point on it, but every person in this room senses what I'm talking about. Do not underestimate what they are capable of. To them, this is not an election. It's much bigger than that. These are people who think they have a moral right to rule and that you were born in the surf class and there you will stay. They believe that. These same people lecturing us about democracy, they think it is their right to be in charge. As if anyone in a democracy has a right to be in charge. People serve at the pleasure of the population for the benefit of the population. It's literally that simple. But they don't believe that Donald Trump has stood in the face of that group, which includes every power center, not simply in the United States, but in the world, almost since the day he called me in the car in the winter of 2015 and said he was dead serious about running. And he has faced them off. And he has endured more punishment, graver trials than any politician in the history of this country. And he didn't need to. He didn't need to. At any point, he could have said, "You know what? I've got a lot of grandchildren, some of whom I enjoy playing golf with. I'm pretty rich, actually. You may have heard that. And I don't need this." And he has bulled forward with energy and cheerfulness from beginning to end. And I would submit since AOC raised the question of what a real man looks like, let me just tell you my view of what a real man looks like. A real man is a cheerful man. And he's cheerful because he's brave. Brave people have hope. because they have a mission and they're strong inside. And they know because they are living for something greater than themselves that even if they die, they don't die. The mission lives on. And that's what gives them heart and cheerfulness. They are not morose. They are not self-pittitying. They are bright, brighteyed, cheerful, energetic, a
