Subscribe on YouTubeErika Kirk Honors Rush Limbaugh's Legacy as Donald Trump Rallies Turning Point Action in Phoenix Arizona
Erika Kirk shares a moving story about President Trump's compassion toward Rush Limbaugh during his cancer treatment, revealing how Trump persuaded Rush to attend the State of the Union for the Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony. At this Turning Point Action rally in Phoenix, Arizona, Erika carries forward her late husband's mission while President Trump delivers a wide-ranging speech covering Iran negotiations, border security achievements, economic wins including $18 trillion in new investments, and the importance of winning the midterm elections. Trump emphasizes unprecedented first-year accomplishments, the need to protect American freedoms, and warns that Democrats want to defund ICE and border security while Republicans fight to keep the country safe and prosperous.
A Widow's Tribute to Rush and Trump's Compassion
Erika Kirk opened with a powerful personal story that revealed President Trump's character during one of the most difficult periods in her family's life. Shortly after Rush Limbaugh announced his cancer diagnosis to millions on the radio, the couple headed to Boston for scheduled surgery and treatment. When they landed, President Trump called asking what they were doing. Rush explained they were preparing for surgery that afternoon.
Without hesitation, Trump asked them to come to the Capitol that night. Sitting in an old t-shirt in Boston with minimal packing, Rush looked at Erika in disbelief. They protested that they couldn't possibly make it to Washington that night. But as Erika noted, everyone knows how persuasive President Trump can be. The surgery was delayed, and hours later they were in the Capitol for Rush to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom in an unforgettable ceremony.
Erika shared that every few days throughout Rush's illness, President Trump would take time from his busy schedule to call Rush just to check in, with no agenda, simply asking how he was holding up. She declared Trump a great man who cares deeply for the country and for Americans in the same way.
Erika Kirk's Mission to Continue Rush's Legacy
Erika Kirk addressed the massive Turning Point Action crowd in Phoenix, acknowledging that over the past seven months since Rush's death, she has witnessed both the worst and best of humanity. This experience reminded her that every day presents a choice: focus on what's broken or recognize freedoms and fight to protect them. She emphasized that as Americans, we are privileged to live in the greatest country in the world, acknowledging it's not perfect and has problems to solve, but it remains the best we have.
She painted a stark picture of the global landscape: Europe surrendering to third world criminals, the Biden administration putting America on the same track before Trump course corrected, radical Islamists in Nigeria murdering Christians for their faith, and Canada promoting medically assisted suicide over the sanctity of life. In contrast, America understands that a free life is worth living. This combination of freedom, the ability to live openly with faith, and the chance to build a life exists nowhere else on earth.
Erika stressed this didn't happen by accident but because generations fought and sacrificed everything for it, and because all of them as a united front said enough is enough and showed up to vote for President Trump in 2024. She recalled Charlie sitting there going through numbers, maps, and data points, telling them that securing the red wall of Arizona, Nevada, and New Hampshire would cause the opposition's maps to collapse and strategies to fail. This inspired them tremendously.
The Fight to Protect Arizona and America
Erika made clear they cannot simply sit back and admire the 2024 win but must fight to protect it every day. Arizona is home for her—she was raised there, fell in love there, got married there, and is raising her children there. She refuses to watch the state or country be torn completely apart because they want Arizona. She declared that Turning Point Action will fight to defend it, refusing to let California become Arizona or elect people like Eric Swalwell, though she noted they unfortunately have his best friend Ruben Gallego, so there's work to do.
She emphasized not wanting a country that looks like the protesters outside celebrating the murder of her husband. She reminded the audience how quickly things can go wrong, having just lived through four years of corruption dressed up as compassion—Christian pro-life activists persecuted for their beliefs, concerned parents targeted by federal law enforcement for showing up at school board meetings, and Laken Riley's murder amid wide open borders that allowed half a million people to pour into Arizona alone under an administration that didn't care about stopping them.
Now, 452 days into the Trump administration, Erika pointed to significant accomplishments while acknowledging more work remains. She stressed the need to show up again with 80 to 90% voter turnout in the midterms to fortify the red wall for the next decade. She contrasted those actively trying to tear the country apart—starting fights, dividing people, spreading negativity for clicks and algorithm influence to maximize profits—with the hard work of building: getting out the vote, talking to real people, spiritual revival. Charlie gave his life for that actual work, and what gets built lasts for generations long after the noise runs out of one-liners.
Trump's Compassion and America's Mission
Erika concluded that no one understands them better than President Trump. No matter what they throw at him, he perseveres in the face of adversity because the mission is too important and the country is worth fighting for. He is not alone in this fight. They are blessed to be Americans and will fight like it, with no one else they'd rather have on their side than President Donald J. Trump.
President Trump Takes the Stage in Phoenix
President Donald Trump opened by thanking the seniors and especially the young people, noting he'd never seen so many young people in his life. He sent a special hello to Phoenix, where they had a big win in Arizona and all over the country. Trump expressed his thrill to be back in Arizona with the hardworking, God-fearing patriots of Turning Point Action and Turning Point USA.
Seven months ago, Trump noted, the country lost a fearless warrior and his friend for freedom—Charlie Kirk, an amazing man and person murdered by a cruel and vicious assassin who believed that silencing his voice could kill an entire movement. But standing there, it was clear Charlie's voice is not silenced but roaring back louder than ever before. His message is unstoppable, his mission totally unstoppable, and his movement will only succeed. Trump called Charlie a special person with whom he talked all the time about politics, God, and everything else.
Trump thanked Erika Kirk, acknowledging she was put into a rough situation. He told her it's not easy but noted she loved Charlie more than anything else and has done a terrific job. Together they are making America great again, and in November they will win the midterms like never before.
Breaking News on Iran Negotiations
Trump revealed he had some good news to share, asking if anyone would like to hear about Iran. He explained this event was scheduled long ago and he had said to hold off on media for a while, but here he was with all the media waiting. He announced that Iran has just declared the Strait of Hormuz fully open and ready for business with full passage. The naval blockade with the greatest navy in the world from the greatest military ever seen—which Trump built during his first term—will remain in full force regarding Iran until their transaction is 100% complete and fully signed.
Trump said this process should go very quickly as most points are already negotiated and agreed to. The USA will get all nuclear dust—the white powdery substance created by B-2 bombers. Iran, with USA help, has removed or is removing all sea mines. Most importantly, Iran has agreed they will never have a nuclear weapon. Trump explained they will retrieve the nuclear dust by going into Iran together with excavators because the B-2 strikes went so deep they need the biggest excavators imaginable, but they will get it and bring it back to the USA very soon.
Now that the Hormuz Strait situation is almost over, Trump received a call from NATO asking if they would like help. He told them he would have liked their help two months ago but doesn't want it anymore because they were absolutely useless when needed—though he noted they never actually needed NATO; NATO needs America. He compared it to politicians who want to make major campaign contributions after he already won, explaining contributions after winning don't count, and NATO help after winning doesn't count either.
Historic Middle East Achievements
Trump announced they achieved what everyone said was impossible: an unprecedented ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon that hasn't taken place in 78 years. Their deal with Iran is not tied to Lebanon, but they will make Lebanon great again after the world has forgotten them and good people there have lived like hell for a long period. He expressed hope the Hezbollah situation will get straightened out quickly.
Trump thanked Pakistan and its prime minister and field marshal, calling them fantastic people who helped tremendously with courage. He also thanked Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait for their tremendous help in dealing with what they called the bully of the Middle East—Iran, who is no longer the bully.
Unprecedented First Year Accomplishments
Trump declared this the most successful first year of any administration in American history, acknowledged by everybody. He ended eight wars, and if adding Iran and Lebanon, that would be 10 wars ended with many millions of lives saved. Starting day one, they ended the illegal invasion of America by criminals, murderers, drug dealers, and prisoners as countries emptied their prisons into America. They took the most dangerous, unsafe, violent, and open border and created the most secure border in US history—one of the most secure anywhere in the world with zero illegal aliens coming into the country in the past 11 months.
In 2025, they achieved the largest drop in violent crime ever recorded. The murder rate reached the lowest level in over 125 years—since 1900, before Trump's father was born. The flow of deadly fentanyl pouring across the border is down 59%, and illegal drugs coming by ocean or sea are down 97%.
Historic Tax Cuts and Economic Reforms
Trump listed major legislative achievements: the largest tax cuts in American history, the largest spending cuts in American history, the largest regulation cuts in American history, and the largest investment in border security in the country's history. Starting his first day in office, they banned transgender mutilation of children and made it official US policy that there are only two genders: male and female. They got men out of women's sports, removed critical race theory from schools, abolished DEI across the entire federal government, and eliminated so-called affirmative action in federal contracting and university admissions. America is now based on merit again, which is how it became great.
Trump emphasized they have to win the midterms for all these things to stay in place forever. He recounted his State of the Union speech where he gave out the Congressional Medal of Honor to a young man who flew a helicopter with practically his legs shot off and landed perfectly in Venezuela with 48 men on board. He interviewed a mother whose daughter was slashed from behind by a maniac, and introduced a 101-year-old war hero. Not one Democrat clapped for any of these moments until they were told they were getting killed politically, then they started clapping for everything.
Education, Federal Workforce, and Economic Growth
Trump signed a historic executive order starting the process of shutting down the federal Department of Education and sending education back to the states where it should be, thanking Linda McMahon for her work. They removed over 300,000 bureaucrats from federal payrolls, noting many had 10, 11, or 12 people doing one job just sitting there. He expressed respect but emphasized you can't run a country that way if you want to make America great again.
Trump noted many of those people are actually happy because more people are working in the United States than at any time in history. Many former federal workers got jobs in the private sector where they make more money and enjoy their work—an amazing phenomenon.
After decades of other countries stealing jobs and plundering American wealth, thanks to strong tariff policy, they cut the gaping trade deficit by 59% this year—the largest drop in history. Trump noted if you do 1% you're considered a genius, 2-3% is unheard of, so what does 59% make you?
Tax Refunds and Investment Records
As part of tax cuts, they delivered no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for seniors. The great big beautiful bill also gave the right to deduct interest payments on car loans, but only if the car is made in the USA, which has been incredible. This week millions of Americans received the largest tax refunds of their lives, averaging more than $4,000 per filer—more than Trump had promised.
In four years, Sleepy Joe Biden got less than $1 trillion invested in America. In just 11 months (the twelfth month hadn't concluded yet), the Trump administration secured $18 trillion of new investments coming into the country—a record for any country anywhere in the world by a lot. The King of Saudi Arabia told Trump that a short time ago they viewed the United States as a dead country, but now America is the hottest country anywhere in the world, having invested $2 trillion.
America's Strength and Respect Restored
Trump declared that for years before he took office, people thought America was in decline, that its best days were past, and the sun was setting on American power. But no one thinks that anymore because America is indeed the strongest, hottest, best country anywhere in the world. Nobody laughs at America anymore—they had been laughing, thinking the country was a mess. Under this administration, America is on the march and on the rise like never seen before, respected at levels nobody thought possible.
Unlike past leaders, Trump emphasized, this administration does not apologize for American power, is not ashamed of American might, and does not hesitate to defend the American people. For years they were ruled by fools who let every third-rate country push them around and bleed them dry on trade and everything else. Those days are over and gone forever.
America was not founded by weak and timid men who cowered in the face of evil or sat by as danger loomed, Trump declared. They are descended from George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, Douglas MacArthur, and George Patton. Their ancestors knew exactly what to do with America's enemies: beat them and beat them good.
Self-Reliance and Military Strength
Trump argued that if NATO teaches any one thing, it's that America has to rely on itself and cannot depend on outside countries and sources. He noted most people wanted to avoid getting involved in the recent Iran situation, but sometimes you have to get involved if you're going to remain great. He reminded the audience he's the peacemaker who settled eight wars, including one between India and Pakistan that would have killed 30 to 50 million people, but sometimes involvement is necessary.
Trump stated they are inheritors of the most incredible civilization that has ever existed, and their task is to defend it. Past leaders used American wealth and power to make other countries rich and treated the military like a charity for the world while getting barely a word of thanks. Those countries don't thank America—they think Americans are stupid. Now they're using American strength to advance American interests for American citizens and to ensure America remains the most dominant country on earth.
Every branch of the armed forces is setting new recruitment records because everyone wants to be part of the greatest military the world has ever seen. In January, warriors flew straight into the heart of the Venezuelan capital, captured outlaw dictator Nicholas Maduro, and brought him to face American justice. Very soon this strength will also bring about a new dawn for Cuba after 70 years of waiting.
Energy Independence and Immigration Policy
Under this governing philosophy, Trump explained, instead of locking down energy resources and putting America at the mercy of those that hate them, they are unleashing their own supplies with those beautiful words: "Drill, baby, drill." Because of that, America now produces more oil than Russia and Saudi Arabia combined, and very soon that number will more than double. Their new partner Venezuela is adding substantially to that number.
Instead of using wealth to throw open borders and feed, house, clothe, and police the entire world, they're restoring the principle that America's immigration policies must serve the best interests of America and its citizens. It's called America First—they'll help other countries, but they have to view it as America First, otherwise they won't have a country left.
Trump criticized Democrats for shutting down the Department of Homeland Security to shield the world's most heinous and violent criminals from deportation. They want to keep murderers in the country, fighting very hard to keep them here. He cited specific cases: an illegal alien from Haiti who beat a mother of two to death with a hammer at a Florida gas station, caught on tape; a migrant criminal with 15 prior charges and four prior deportations who threw an 83-year-old veteran onto subway tracks in New York City, killing him instantly. Democrats want to protect these criminals while Republicans want to put them in jail or ideally deport them permanently.
Border Security and Deportation Success
Under Trump's leadership, they ended asylum fraud, ended all catch and release, stopped third world migration, and suspended all refugee resettlement except for persecuted South Africans. Trump highlighted the situation in South Africa where there's a genocide happening, where white farmers are being killed. He noted he did great with the black vote and African American vote, and they understand this better than anybody. They made it possible for persecuted South Africans to come to America, get a green card and passport, and stay in the country.
Trump reported they deported a record number of criminal aliens—nobody has ever seen numbers like this. For the first time in more than 50 years, they now have reverse migration. He asked the audience to imagine where the country would be if instead of spending trillions of dollars on illegal migrants and the Green New scam, past leaders had used American wealth and power to raise civilization to brand new heights.
The Choice in the Midterm Elections
Trump framed the choice for every voter in the midterms: Democrats want to drag America down, destroy the country, and put it into crime, poverty, and squalor of a third world nation. If he hadn't won the election, within a short period America would have been a third world nation. Republicans want to build America up into a nation with no rivals in human history, to make families safer and wealthier than ever before.
He stated plainly: if you want a poor and weak America riddled with crime, death, disease, and problems, vote Democrat. If you want a rich and strong America to be proud of, you must go out in the midterms and vote Republican. Trump acknowledged the strange phenomenon where when a president wins, Republican or Democrat, they lose the midterms often—most of the time. It doesn't make sense, even if the president is doing a good job. He thinks he's doing the best job of anybody, but for some reason this pattern persists. It should be the opposite—when doing well, ending wars all over, the party should do well in midterms.
Arizona Leaders and Special Guests
Trump recognized numerous Arizona leaders present who will help achieve midterm victory, including candidates for Congress like Jay Feely (former NFL kicker), Sheriff Mark Lamb, Representatives Juan Ciscomani, Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs (running for governor), Arizona GOP Chair Sergio Arellano, Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen, State Treasurer Kimberly Yee, and the legendary Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who Trump noted had no border problems when he was in office and endorsed Trump right at the beginning before any of the 18 other candidates.
He also recognized Kathryn Adams Limbaugh, widow of Rush Limbaugh, veteran Border Patrol agent Art Del Cueto, and numerous athletes and sports figures: Ryan Thompson of the Arizona Diamondbacks, World Series champion Mark Grace, World Series MVP Curt Schilling, Hockey Hall of Famer Jeremy Roenick, NASCAR great Danica Patrick, former NBA All-Star Tom Chambers, and Arizona sports legend John Gamadoro.
Continuing the Mandate and Future Vision
Trump emphasized they have a mandate from the American people and will continue delivering like no president has ever delivered before. They were supposed to win three or four swing states, which would be incredible because it's harder for Republicans (he noted they cheat). He had said "make it too big to rig" and told people not to believe the polls even though polls had them way up. They made it too big to rig and won all seven swing states.
Trump announced he recently directed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to begin releasing government files relating to UFOs and unexplained aerial phenomena. He figured this was a good crowd for this announcement because "you people are really into that." The process is well underway, they found many very interesting documents, and the first releases will begin very soon so people can see if the phenomena is correct.
Policy Priorities Moving Forward
With audience support, Trump outlined priorities: crush violent crime, impose harsh new penalties for repeat offenders (some taken in 28 times and let out two days later), crack down on Marxist prosecutors and rogue judges, end deadly sanctuary cities, and end no cash bail which started it all. Someone shoots somebody, goes in, gets let out, then shoots somebody else the same day.
They will stop radical left Democrats from looting taxpayer dollars and win the war on fraud, headed by Vice President JD Vance. Trump said he wanted that job himself because the fraud is so bad in states like Minnesota, California, and even Maine. They will pass the great healthcare plan to stop all payments to big insurance companies and give money directly to people so they can buy their own healthcare. Everybody likes it except Democrats who are owned by insurance companies and vote no, but they'll get it done one way or another.
They will make most favored nation discounts on drug prices permanent law. Trump got drug reductions on prescription drugs with most favored nation pricing, meaning America pays the lowest price of any nation in the world. When he took office, America paid the highest; he got nations to agree by threatening tariffs and got drug companies to agree. Drug prices will be reduced 60%, 70%, 80%, and in some cases more than 80%—nobody has ever done that.
Health and Housing Reforms
With help from Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., they will make America healthy again. Already they eliminated petroleum-based food dyes, reformed the vaccine schedule, and introduced the real food pyramid, cleaning up the whole mess. Dr. Oz is doing a great job as well.
To help young people afford houses, they will permanently ban Wall Street from buying up thousands of single-family homes and taking them off the market. They will pass the Save America Act to protect sacred American elections where all voters must show voter ID and proof of citizenship—a 97% issue that's 87% even with Democrats, but Democrat politicians don't want it because when you have policy as bad as theirs (men in women's sports, transgender for everybody, open borders with unvetted criminals), the only way to win is to cheat.
They want no mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, military, or travel—mail-in ballots are a big fraud. They will add into permanent statutes no men in women's sports and no transgender mutilation surgery for children.
The Absurdity of Men in Women's Sports
Trump recounted how for 18 years a weightlifting record stood at 212 pounds held by a strong young woman. Then a young man who was a failed weightlifter in the men's division transitioned to become a woman and broke the 18-year record by 112 pounds. He referenced swimming records and long distance running records, describing a recent triathlon-type race where the top man won by 5 hours, 18 minutes, and 57 seconds—he went home and took a nap for exactly 5 hours before getting his award. It's very demeaning and unfair to women.
America's Heritage and Destiny
Together they will defend cherished American heritage, defeat America's enemies, unshackle magnificent destiny, return American astronauts to the moon, and plant the flag on Mars someday soon. For almost 250 years, the nation has stood as an inspiration to humanity and proof of what American faith and courage can achieve, especially over the last year.
American ancestors won independence, vanquished foreign armies, conquered wild frontiers, fought perilous battles, crossed jagged mountains, and in the middle of empty deserts built gleaming cities like Phoenix. Generations poured out blood, sweat, and tears to make America the most exceptional nation the world has ever known. Today they are making it more exceptional than ever thought possible.
The Path to Ultimate Victory
With support in the midterms, Trump declared, they will continue this momentum and achieve total and ultimate victory for America. They will fight, fight, fight and win, win, win. Together they will make America powerful again, wealthy again, healthy again, strong again, proud again, safe again, and great again. Trump thanked Arizona and urged everyone to win those midterms.
Video Transcript
One quick story about President Trump. I know us Limbos get behind a microphone and we think we have three hours, but I promise you this will be quick. Soon after Rush announced his cancer diagnosis to millions on the radio, we headed off to Boston for what we thought was a scheduled surgery and treatment. When we landed in Boston, the phone rang and sure enough it was President Trump. He asked what we were doing and Rush said, "Oh, well, just pairing preparing for surgery this afternoon." President Trump without hesitation said, "How how about coming to the Capitol tonight?" Sitting in an old t-shirt in Boston, Rush looked at me and said, "Tonight." Mind you, the t-shirt was about all that he had packed. Oh, no, no, no. We couldn't possibly make it to Washington tonight. Well, you all know how persuasive President Trump can be. Needless to say, the surgery was delayed and we were in the Capitol hours later for Rush to be presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It was a night we will never forget. Every few days, President Trump would take time out of his very busy day to call Rush, just to check in. No agenda, just simply, "How are you holding up?" President Trump is a great man who cares for our country so deeply and Americans in that s very same way. God bless Erica and her children. God bless President Trump. And God bless all of you. Thank you. Maybe there's a God above. And all I ever learned from love was how to shoot at someone who outrew you. And it's not a cry you can hear at night. Let's leave this place.

God bless you guys. Love you guys. >> Over the past seven months, I have seen the worst of humanity, but I've also seen the best of it. And it's reminded me that every day when you wake up, you have a choice to spend your days focused on what's broken or you can recognize our freedoms and fight to protect them. As Americans, we are all privileged to live in the greatest country in the world. Is it perfect? No, it's not. Do we have problems to solve? Of course. Of course we do. But our country is the best that we have. And I do not want to lose it. If you look around the world right now, Europe has surrendered itself to third world criminals. And under the Biden administration, we were on track for that for ourselves. But President Trump came in and course corrected. In countries like Nigeria, radical Islamists are murdering Christians for their faith. In Canada, they'll tell you you're better off getting medically assisted suicide than believing in the sanctity of life. While in America, we understand that a free life is worth living. But there is nowhere else on earth, nowhere else on earth like the United States of America. There is not. And with this powerful combination of freedom, the ability to live your life with your faith openly, and the chance to build a life nowhere else like it, and nowhere else I would want to be. And I'm sure you guys feel the same exact way. But that didn't just happen by accident. It happened because generations have fought and sacrificed everything for it. And because all of us as a united front said enough is enough and showed up to vote for President Trump in 2024. Amazing. We said enough was enough. And I'll never forget after that election. I know none of you will either. Charlie sitting there. He was going through the numbers. He was going through the maps. He was looking at looking at all the data points. And he said to us, he goes, "This is it." He said, "The red wall." He said, "If you can secure Arizona, Nevada, and New Hampshire, and you're investing into these states and not just into these races," he said, "there their maps will collapse and their strategies will fail." And it inspired us to no end. Totally inspired us. But we don't get to just sit back and admire that win from 2024. We have to fight to protect it every day. That's right. Every day. And Arizona is home for me. I was raised here. I fell in love here. I got married here. We're raising our children here. And we're not going to sit back and just watch this state or this country be torn torn completely torn apart. Completely torn apart. We're not going to watch that because they want this state. They want this state. And Turning Point Action will fight to defend it. And we I refuse I refuse to let California become Arizona. Not happening. Not happening. We don't want Arizona to elect to elect people like Eric Swallwell. >> No, we don't. No, we won't. But I will say, unfortunately, we do have his best friend, Ruben Ggo, here. So, we have some work to do. We have some work to do. But seriously though, I do not want a country to look like the protesters outside who are celebrating the murder of my husband. I do not want a country like that. So, let's not forget how quickly things can go in the wrong direction. We just lived through four years of corruption dressed up as compassion. four years of that. You remember when we had Christian pro-life activists being persecuted for their beliefs? Remember when concerned parents were getting targeted by federal law enforcement just for showing up at their schoolboard meetings? Remember Lake and Riley? >> I do remember wide open borders. Half a million people poured into this state alone, thanks to an administration that didn't care about stopping them. And now, 452 days into the Trump administration, look at what has already been done. Look at it. There are accomplishments. And yes, there is more to be done, but my husband and all of you fought for this and we achieved it. >> Thanks, And now we have to show up again with 80 to 90% voter turnout in the midterms and fortify the red wall for the next decade. That's what we need to do. But at the same time, you have people out there who are actively trying to tear this country apart. They love to start fights, dividing us all against each other, spreading negativity, all to get clicks and influence the algorithm to maximize profits. Meanwhile, building is hard. Getting out the vote, talking to real people, spiritual revival. That's actual work. That is actual work. And my husband Charlie gave his life for that work. And what gets built lasts for generations long after the noise has run out of oneliners. No one understands us better than President Trump. No one. No matter what they throw at him, he perseveres in the face of adversity because the mission is too important. Because this country is worth fighting for and he is not alone in this fight. And we are blessed to be Americans and we are going to fight like it. And ladies and gentlemen, there is no one else I'd rather have on our side than President Donald J. Trump. God bless you guys. Ladies and gentlemen, I am officially running for president of the United States. And we are going to make our country great again. Donald Trump swept all seven swing states. Six of them flipped from Joe Biden's column in 2020. More than 80% of all the nation's counties move toward the right. The shift is decisive and leaves Democrats arguing over how they misread the people. They tried to keep him off the ballot in 50 states. He stopped them. They tried to impoverished him. They tried to break him financially. They tried to lock him up in jail. He beat them. They said he couldn't possibly win the White House again. It had only been done once in history. He won. I raised my right arm and started shouting, "Fight, fight, fight." 12 months ago, Joe Biden handed us a mess. Just after one year of President Trump, our economy is booming, incomes are rising, investment is soaring, inflation has been defeated, our economy is roaring, our workers are thriving, our border is closed, and America is respected all over the world. Our spirit is restored. He wants to make the country safer and more prosperous than it's ever been before. As he continues to do that, we will not only win the midterm elections, but we will elect a Republican to succeed him. We should win in a landslide, and we'll do everything we can to do. >> Together with all of you, we will make America great again. Ladies and gentlemen, now welcome to the stage the 45th and 47th president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump. And I'm proud to be an American where at least stand over free. And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that life to me. And I gladly stand up next to you and make her still today. Cuz there ain't no doubt I love this land. God bless the USA. From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee, across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea, from Detroit down to Houston and New to LA where there's pride in every American heart and it's time we stand and say that I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free and I won't forget the men who died who gave that life to me and I gladly stand up next to you and and her still today. Cuz there ain't no doubt I love this land. God bless the USA and to be an American her still today. Cuz there ain't no doubt I love this. God bless the US. Wow. Thank you very much. Wow. Thank you very much. That's fantastic. USA. >> Well, I want to especially I want to thank all those seniors, but I want to thank all the young people. I've never seen so many young people in my life. And I want to say a special hello to Phoenix. We had a big win in Phoenix and a big win in Arizona and a big win all over the country. I'm thrilled to be back in the great state of Arizona with the hardworking, God-fearing patriots of Turning Point Action and Turning Point USA. Seven months ago, our country lost a fearless warrior, my friend, for freedom. And he was just an amazing man. He was an amazing person. Charlie Kirk, just an amazing guy. Charlie was murdered by a cruel and vicious assassin who believed that by silencing his voice, he could kill an entire giant movement. But standing here today, it's clear to see that Charlie's voice is not silenced. It's roaring and roaring back louder, frankly, than ever before. His message is unstoppable. His mission is totally unstoppable. and his movement is forget it. It's not going to happen any other way but success. It's amazing what he's done. He was such a great friend of mine. We talked all the time. We'd speak all the time. Talked about politics. We talked about God. We talked about everything you can talk about. He was a special person. And I want to just thank Erica. She was put into a rough situation. Don't kid yourself. That was a that's a rough situation. Those people think they think it's easy. I told her, "Not so easy, Erica." But she loved that man more than anything else. And she's done a really terrific job. I want to thank her on behalf of all of us because together we're making America great again. And this November, we're going to win the midterms. We're going to win. And we're going to win like never before. For some reason, even if you have a great presidency, if you haven't, I don't think there's been one like this. And we have some good news. I'll tell you about a little. Would anybody like to hear about Iran a little bit? You know, this was scheduled a long time ago, and I said, let's not do any media for a little while. And here I am. This is sort of interesting. They're all waiting. Look at all the fake news back there. It's unbelievable. We could fill this place up four times. A lot of Would anybody like to give up your seat? Allow somebody to >> but but it's really it's really been an incredible period of time and I'll tell you about it. But in 2024, Turning Points Grassroots Army helped us win Arizona in an absolute landslide. We won it this way. We won all seven swing states. We won the electoral college 312 to 226. We won the popular vote by millions of votes. And we won, and that's the first time in decades that a Republican, I don't know what that's all about, won the popular vote, but we won by a lot of we won 86% of all counties. Now, think of that, counties. To me, that's the biggest of all. Most important of all, 86% of all counties in America, 2,700 to 525. That's called a landslide. And I want to thank everybody at Turning Point Action who's working tirelessly to help us get out the vote this November 3rd. And I especially want to thank all of the executives and Erica Kirk in particular. Thank you. This will be a great and brilliant day for the world because Iran has just announced that the Straight of Hormuz is fully open and ready for business and full passage. But the naval blockade with the greatest navy in the world from the greatest military the world has ever seen. We built it during my first term. We built it. They said I was crazy. We weren't so crazy, were we? We'll remain in full force and effect as it pertains to Iran until such time as our transaction with Iran is 100% complete and fully signed. And this process, we're getting along well, but who knows? Who knows with anyone, but who knows with Iran in particular. This process should go very quickly and that most of the points are already negotiated and agreed to. You'll be very happy. The USA will get all nuclear dust. You know what the nuclear dust is? That was that white powdery substance created by our B2 bombers. those great B2 bombers late one evening seven months ago no money will exchange hands in any way shape or form Iran will be and and you know how we're going to get the dust right Iran we were going to take it anyway but taking it taking it that way is slightly more dangerous but we were going to get it anyway but Iran with the help of the USA has removed or is removing all of the sea mines And most importantly, it never agreed. And you'll understand they will never have a nuclear weapon. They will never have a nuclear weapon. And somebody said, "How are we going to get the nuclear dust?" We're going to get it by going in with Iran with lots of excavators because the B2s. Remember when fake news CNN said, "Well, maybe obliteration is too strong a word. Obliteration that's so deep. We need the biggest excavators you can imagine. But we're going to go in together with Iran. We're going to get it and we're going to take it back home to the USA very soon." And now that the harm's straight situation is almost over, I received a call from NATO asking if we would like some help. Thank you very much, NATO. And I told them I would have liked your help two months ago, but now I really don't want your help anymore because they were absolutely useless when we needed them. But actually, we never needed them. They needed us. They need us. They need us so badly. You know, it's a little bit like if you're a politician, it's hard to believe I'm a politician. But after I won, people came up to me, "Sir, I'd like to make a major contribution to campaign." And I said, "Listen, just so you understand, campaign contributions after I won don't count." Okay? They don't count. and NATO after we won that doesn't count either. It's the same thing. But you have to remember that because we spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year. We spend money. We spend I would say in many cases close to a trillion dollars over a couple of years. A trillion us to help them. and we're always helping them. And this was just a military excursion. This isn't the big This isn't the big time. You know, we built a military so great. I'm so proud of it's one of the including Space Force. You know, you see all of that when you see those rockets go one look up there. This space force we all created. Space Force didn't exist. We were losing to China and to Russia in space. And now we're so far ahead of them both, you wouldn't believe it. But yesterday, on top of it all, we achieved what everyone said was impossible, an unprecedented ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. And that hasn't taken place in 78 years. 78 years. Our deal with Iran is not in any way tied to Lebanon, but we will make Lebanon great again. I mean, it's about time we did something. We've we've sort of the world has forgotten them and they're good people who have lived like hell for a long period of time and hopefully the situation with Hezbollah will get straightened out quickly. But I want to thank the country of Pakistan and its great prime minister and its great great field marshal. He's our great field marshal. Two fantastic people for helping. They really are terrific people. And I also want to thank Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait. They've been amazing. They've all helped tremendously. Tremendously. And it took courage for them. Not easy. Not easy. They were living with what they call the bully of the Middle East. They had the bully. Iran was the bully of the Middle East. They're not the bully anymore. With the help of everyone here today, this has been by far the most successful first year of any administration in the history of our country. Acknowledged by everybody. To begin with, I ended eight wars. And it may be a little early to say this, but if we add Iran and Lebanon, that will be 10 wars ended and many, many millions of lives saved. Think of how many lives we've saved. Starting on day one, we ended the illegal invasion of America. That's an invasion by criminals. Many, many criminals, murderers, drug dealers, prisoners. They emptied out their prisons into our country. And we took the most dangerous, unsafe, violent, and open border and created the most secure border in US history. one of the most secure borders anywhere in the world with zero illegal aliens coming into our country in the past 11 months. Zero. And in 2025, we achieved the largest drop in violent crime ever recorded. That's despite all of these people that came into our country. Many of them are now gone. I'm pleased to tell you the murder rate. Isn't it a terrible thing to be talking about murder? But you got to say it. At least if it's good news. I guess it's good news, but the murder rate reached the lowest level in over 125 years. 1900, the year 1900, before my father was born. My father was great. Before he was born, the flow of deadly fentinyl pouring across our border is down by a astounding 59%. And as you probably noticed if you watch the news, illegal drugs coming in by ocean or sea are down by 97%. 97. And we're trying to find out who the 3% is because I consider them to be perhaps the bravest people anywhere in the world. Boom. Or they don't watch television or something. We passed the largest tax cuts in American history, the largest spending cuts in American history, the largest regulation cuts in American history, and the largest investment in border security in the history of our country. And starting my first day in office, we banned the transgender mutilization of our children. And we made it the official policy of the United States of America that there are only two genders, male and female. That was easy. Could you imagine if I was up here 20 years ago or 15 years ago, probably 12 years ago, and I said, "There are only two genders, male and female." People would say, "What the hell is he saying that for? Is he crazy? That's got to be the worst speech I've ever heard. Why is he saying that?" Or, "Why is he saying that we got men out of women's sports?" Can you imagine saying that 15 years ago? 15 years ago. If you said, "And we got men out of women's sports." The audience would say, "What's wrong with that guy?" That's the craziest thing I've ever heard. And we got critical race theory out of our schools. And we abolished DEI across the entire federal government. And we eliminated so-called affirmative action in federal contracting and university admissions. If you get great marks and have great scores and your boards are good, everything's good, you're getting in, people can't go before. We have a country now that again is based on merit. >> That's the way we became great. But we have to win the midterms at all of these things. It'll stay with us forever. But if we don't win the midterms, I said it during my State of the Union speech when I interviewed and talked to some people backstage. I said, you know, I'd like to have some of these people uh called out for their greatness. And we gave out, as you know, that night the Congressional Medal of Honor to a young man who was flying a helicopter with practically his legs shot off. And he landed in Venezuela perfectly with a lot of men on board, like 48. And if that goes down, the Venezuela incredible attack, nobody killed, hundreds of millions of barrels of oil taken out. The relationship with Venezuela is great. We're working. It's like a great partnership. But if that doesn't happen, we looked at the Democrats. Not one was clapping. Medal of Honor. Then we interviewed a mother, a beautiful mother whose daughter was slashed from behind by a maniac. She could hardly stand. It was eight months ago. She could hardly stand, crying uncontrollably. Not one Democrat was clapping. Then we introduced a war hero from a hundred years. He was 101 years old. Gave him the Congressional Medal of Honor for his great heroics. Wasn't recognized until I came along. Not one Democrat clapped. Not one Democrat clapped. And now they don't want to pay our border security. And they don't want to pay our great patriots of ICE. You know, ICS is a tough job. You got to those murderers that they allowed into our country. Think of it. We thousands of murders came into our country. 11,888 50% of whom killed more than one person. These are violent criminals and ICE is tough and I don't want that job. And most of you don't either. I have a couple of friends in the front row and they're tough people, but they're not that tough. They don't want that job. And if we don't have ICE and if we don't have our great border patrol and if we don't have our great policemen and all of these people, they're incredible. They keep our country great. They keep our country safe. And the Democrats, the Democrats want to defund them. They want to defund ICE. They want ICE terminated. And you know, whether you're liberal, conservative, doesn't matter. Democrat, Republican, independent, it's crazy. And I looked at them as we went through about seven moments when you had to clap and they did and I said, "These people are crazy. They're crazy." And you know, I don't know if you noticed the word was passed to them from people that were watching, I guess, on television, maybe standing backstage. They said, "This guy is killing you. Start clapping." And the last half hour they were clapping for everything I said. They were clapping for everything. Things they shouldn't have been clapping for because they heard they were getting killed. Just remember that night. That night was a very telling night. And we don't want to go back to that. We don't want open borders where millions of people pour pour into our country. We want to have safe borders. We want people coming into our country, but they want to come in and we have to have them come in legally. very simple. So, I signed a historic executive order starting the process of shutting down the federal department of education and sending education back to the states. Thank you, Linda McMahon. Linda McMahon, you know, education move back to the states where it should be. You don't want to have a bureaucrat from Washington who couldn't care less about your community telling you how to educate your child. You have your local boards and your parent groups. One thing I know you love your children. I'm not sure that they do. But we've largely removed education. Well, we just did it. Just move them back. You know, we're going supposed to go through a long process. Thank you, by the way, to Linda McMahon. She's been fantastic. Been fantastic. And we removed over 300,000 bureaucrats from federal payrolls. They had sometimes 10, 11, 12 people to do one job and they just sit there. And you know what? I have a lot of respect for whatever. But we you can't run a country like that. You can't, as the expression goes, has anyone ever heard of it? Make America great again. You can't make America great again when you do that. So we've done that. And you know, many of those people are very happy because right now more people are working in the United States than at any time in the history of our country. And many of those people that had these boring, lousy jobs where they weren't even jobs, federal government, they went out, they got jobs in the private sector because we have the most people working than we've ever had before and they're making more money and enjoying their job. It's sort of an amazing phenomena. After decades of other countries stealing our jobs and plundering our wealth, thanks to our strong policy on tariffs, we cut our gaping trade deficit. Now, if you do 1%, it's you're considered like a genius. If you do two or 3%, it's unheard of. We cut it by 59% this year. Our trade gap, it's the largest drop of a trade gap. Think of it. It's the largest drop in history, the history of our country, 59%. >> Can you believe it? >> So, if you're a genius with 1% and really a super genius at three, what are you with 59? I don't know. As part of our tax cuts, we delivered, a lot of you benefited by this, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on social security for our great seniors. You know, the great big beautiful bill is really the great big beautiful tax cut bill, but it was also we gave you the right to deduct your interest payments on a car loan, but only if it's made in the USA. That's been incredible. You never had that right before. And this week, millions of Americans receive the largest tax refunds of their lives. The average is more than $4,000 per filer. Think of that. So, nobody knew this was going to happen. But now they're getting their refunds back and they're much larger than I said. In other words, I underexaggerated, which is good. And in four long years, sleepy Joe Biden, have you heard of him? What a president. What a disaster. But the whole party, it was the party. He didn't run the country. The people surrounding the resolute desk in the Oval Office. They ran the party. Radical left lunatics. But in four long years, sleepy Joe Biden got less than $1 trillion invested in our country, much less. And in 12 months, so think of it, four years. Ours is 12 months. And it's actually 11 because we haven't gotten the last month. So in 11 months versus, think of that, versus four years, they did less than a trillion. In 11 months, we did $18 trillion of new investments coming into our country. And that's a record for any country anywhere in the world by a lot. And the king of Saudi Arabia told me when I was in Saudi Arabia, they invested$2 trillion dollars in our country. But he looked at me, he said, 'You know, Mr. President, a short time ago, we viewed the United States as a dead country. We thought it was dead, and now you have the hottest country anywhere in the world. And he's right, the hottest country anywhere in the world. For years before I took office, people thought that America was in decline, that our best days were in the past, and that the sun was setting on American power. But no one thinks that anymore because we are indeed the strongest, the hottest, the best country anywhere in the world. And you know what? Nobody laughs at us anymore. They were laughing. They thought we were a laughing mess. Under this administration, America is on the march and America is on the rise like we haven't seen maybe ever before. We are respected again as a country and we're respected at levels that nobody thought possible. Unlike past leaders, this administration does not apologize for American power. We are not ashamed of American might and we do not hesitate to defend the American people, which is what we've been doing for the last two months because Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. It's very simple. For years, we were ruled by fools who let every third rate country push us around and bleed us dry on trade and everything else they could get away with. They took advantage of us on trade. Not any more than that. But those days are over and they're gone forever. America was not founded by weak and timid men who cowered in the face of evil or sat by as danger loomed and let our country go to hell. We are descended from the likes of George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Generals Ulysius Sgrant, Douglas MacArthur, General George Patton. Our ancestors knew exactly what to do with America's enemies. Beat them and beat them good. That's what they had to do. That's what they had to do. And if NATO teaches us any one thing, and I hope you all watched because they weren't there for us. If it teaches us any one thing, we have to rely on ourselves. We can't rely on outside countries and outside sources. So do not listen to the craven and cowardly voices who tell you America needs to think small or to shrink from our duties or potential. Most people they wanted to you know this recent situation. They wanted to do it but they said oh let's not get involved. Sometimes you have to get involved. You have no choice but to get involved if you're going to remain great. Sometimes you have to get involved. Remember, I'm the peacemaker. I'm the one that settled eight wars. I settled a war that would have killed 30 to 50 million people. India, Pakistan. You have to sometimes get involved. We are the inheritors of the most incredible civilization that has ever existed. And our task is to defend it. We have to defend it. Past leaders used our wealth and power to make other countries rich and treated our military like a charity for the world while getting barely a word of thanks in return. Nobody thanks us. They don't say, "Oh, thank you so much." They don't thank us. They think we're stupid. That's really what it is. They don't thank us. Now, we're using American strength to advance American interests for American citizens and to ensure that we remain the most dominant country on the face of the earth, which we're doing at levels that nobody can believe. Actually, every branch of our armed forces is setting new recruitment records, records that nobody thought would be possible because everyone wants to be a part of the greatest military the world has ever seen. In January, our warriors flew straight into the heart of the Venezuelan capital, captured the outlaw dictator Nicholas Maduro, and brought him to face American justice, which is what he's doing right now. And very soon, this great strength will also bring about a day, 70 years in waiting. It's called A New Dawn for Cuba. We're gonna help them out with Cuba. We have a lot of great Cuban Americans. Not too many people in this audience, I don't think, but you go to Miami, we have people, Cubanameans, people that were brutally treated, whose families were killed and brutalized. And now, watch what happens under this governing philosophy. Instead of locking down our energy resources and putting ourselves at the mercy of those that hate us, and they hate us and they don't respect us, but they do now. We are unleashing our own supplies with those really beautiful words. Perhaps you've heard them before. Drill, baby, drill. Right? And because of that, we now produce more oil than Russia. and Saudi Arabia combined. And very soon that number will more than double. That's pretty good. In addition, our new partner Venezuela, Venezuela's been great, really doing a good job over there, is adding very substantially to that number. Likewise, instead of using our wealth to throw open our borders and feed, house, clothe, and police the entire world, we're restoring the principle that America's immigration policies must serve the best interests of America and its great citizens. It's called America First. It's very simple, America first. And we'll help other countries, but we have to view it as America first. Otherwise, we're not going to have a country left. At this moment, Democrats have shut down the Department of Homeland Security to shield the world's most heinous and violent criminals from deportation. They want to keep them in our country. They have a murderer killed many people. They want to keep him in our country. They're fighting very hard to keep them here. There's something, I'm telling you, there's something wrong with these people. They want to protect deranged monsters like the illegal alien from Haiti who recently beat a mother of two to death with a hammer at a Florida gas station for all to see. It was all on tape. You saw it just a week ago last month. A migrant criminal with 15 prior charges and four prior deportations threw an 83y old veteran onto the subway tracks to New York City, killing him instantly as he got run over by a subway train. Threw him in. It's all on tape. Democrats want to protect him. They want to protect criminal aliens. Republicans want to put them in jail or ideally deport them as long as they never come back. And under my leadership, we ended asylum fraud. We ended all catch and release. We stopped third world migration. We suspended all refugee resettlement except for persecuted South Africans. They're being persecuted in South Africa. In South Africa, there's a very horrible thing going on in South Africa. It's a genocide. It's a horrible thing. And we made it possible for these people to come into our country. They kill people if they're white. If you're a white person, and I'll tell you what, I did great with the black vote, the AfricanAmerican vote, and they understand this better than anybody. South Africa, they kill white farmers. And we said, you come into our country and we let you come in. You get a green card and you get a passport. You get you can stay in our country. Terrible. Terrible. We can't let it go on. No, we don't have to talk about it. People don't like talking about it. You know, New York Times wrote a story about it years ago. That was the only story they ever wrote because I'm sure the reporter got fired immediately. But we've deported a record number of criminal aliens. A record. Nobody's ever seen the numbers like this. And for the first time in more than 50 years, we now have reverse migration. A beautiful thing, actually. And just imagine where our country would be today if instead of spending trillions of dollars on illegal migrants who come into our country illegally and spending it on the Green New scam, one of the greatest scams in history. Remember climate change, global warming, all of this? They actually had global warming. Remember that that wasn't working because we were actually cooling as a planet. Then they had another one and another one and another one and they were wrong. And then they just said climate change because climate change takes care of heat, snow, whatever you have. But past leaders had used American wealth and power to raise our civilization to brand new heights. This is the choice for every voter. In the midterms, Democrats want to drag America down, destroy our country, put it into crime, poverty, and squalor. really the squalor of a third world nation. We would have been if I didn't win this election within a short period of time, we would have been a third world nation. Hard to believe, isn't it? Huh? Republicans want to build America up into a nation with no rivals in human history to make your family safer and wealthier than ever before. We're making your family safe. We're making you safe. So if you want a poor and weak America, a country that's riddled with crime and death, disease, and nothing but problems, you should immediately vote Democrat. If you want a rich and strong and a country that you're going to be proud of, America, you must go out in the midterms and vote Republican. We need that. And I was going to say that when a president wins, Republican or Democrat, for some reason, they lose the midterms often, most of the time. It doesn't make sense. Even if you have a president who's doing a good job, and I think I'm doing the best job of anybody. Really, I do. But when you add it all up, when you add it all, when you add it all up, nobody's done what we've done. But for some reason, a president, Republican, Democrat, the party does poorly in the midterms. It doesn't make sense. I'm still trying to figure it out. We'll go out, I think, probably hire a couple of psychiatrists. What the hell is going on in your mind? How does that happen? Because it should be the opposite. We're doing well. We're doing our job. We're ending wars all over the place. By the way, with the exception of our little excursion, and wait till you see prices fall. Did you see oil is down today and prices are down today? But we inherited the highest prices in the history of our country. We inherited that and then we worked on it. And what a job we've done. And we took inflation way down. We inherited the worst inflation in history. And what a job. But we had to put out that flame. We had to put out that horrible f flyer really that was taking place in Iran. We had to do it. Otherwise, you want to see a problem, give them a nuclear weapon. They'd use it the first day. You want to see a problem, they would use it the first day. It's not going to happen. So, we're thrilled to be joined today by many incredible Arizona leaders who will help achieve this victory, including candidates for Congress. Great a lot of great athletes running. I don't know what this is. Jay Feelely, great kicker. Great a Where's Jay? Jay Feelely, where is Jay? Wherever you are, Jay. Hi Jay. Great athletes.

There was no border problem when he was here. Sheriff Joe Arpaio, where are you? Sheriff Joe, where is Sheriff Joe? You know, he came out for me when I was running and I heard about him. He was sort of a legendary guy. There were no border problems, right? We had no border problems. And he endorsed me right at the beginning. Joe, right? Long before you saw any of the politicians that were running against it was 18 people running and uh they said, "You know, Sheriff Joe endorsed you." I said, "You mean from Arizona, a legend?" Yeah, he endorsed you before I even started practically. Thank you very much, Joe. And I've been with you all the way. Thank you. Appreciate it. Along with a special friend of mine and married to one of the greats, Rush Limbaugh, Katherine Limbbo. Thank you, Katherine. She's a great woman and a veteran Border Patrol agent who's been a fantastic friend of me and the campaign and all of the things. Art del Quto. Art, wherever you are, Art. And you know, we have a lot of athletes and I sort of think of myself, I'm sort of big. Sometimes in the wrong direction maybe, but big. These guys are really big. Ryan Thompson of the Arizona Diamondbacks who's a terrific player. We have a World Series champion. I met him today and I said, "You were a hell of a hitter and really was a great player and could be probably still great player. Looks good." World Series champion Mark Grace. Mark, >> what a what a good hitter. And what about this guy? World Series MVP. Remember the blood pouring out of his foot? It didn't bother him at all. That blood was pouring the hell out of his foot. I remember it. Kurt Schilling. Kurt, thank you. Thank you. And they're all characters, too, aren't they? It's really amazing. We like characters. Hockey Hall of Famer and a great golfer. I can tell you that. He's really a good golfer. Jeremy Ronic. Jeremy. Thank you, Jeremy. Thank you, man. What a good golfer he is, too, but probably a little better at hockey, but you know, supposed to be NASCAR great Danica Patrick. Danica, where's Danica? Where is Danica? I love Danica. I love her hair. I always liked her hair. I like the little widows peak. Do you know the widow's peak? Danica, where are you? Danica, so great. Thank you, darling. What a job you've done. What a job you did. Former NBA All-Star Tom Chambers. Tom, there's a big guy. I didn't want my picture next to him. He stood up. I said, "Is that Tom Chambers?" I said, "Well, let's take it. I'll stand on this side of the room." Tom said, "What a job you've done." Great job, Tom. Everyone loves you, too. Arizona sports legend John Gambo Gambodoro. John Gamadoro. Thank you, John. Gambo. Good job. And a lot more. We have a lot of celebrities here, but with your help, we'll continue to deliver on our mandate from the American people like no president has ever delivered before. That's what we're doing. We have a mandate. You know, they said if we could win three or four of the swing states, that would be incredible because it's a little harder for a Republican for some reason. The I'll tell you what the reason is. They cheat. That's actually the reason. They cheat like hell. Remember I got out I said, "Make it too big to rig." Right? Too big to rig. Don't believe the polls. The polls had us way up. Don't believe the polls. Too big to rig. We made it too big to rig. Just keep going. If no matter what you see, go out and vote. And we made it too big to rig. But they say if I if I want three or four of the swing states, that should do it. And we won all seven, right? All seven of the swings. As you remember, I recently directed the Secretary of War. How good is Pete Hexath doing, by the way, to begin releasing government files relating to UFOs and unexplained aerial phenomena. And I figured this was a good crowd because I know you people, you're really into that. I don't know if I am, but So, I'm pleased to report today. Hey, I thought I'd save it for this crowd because you're a little bit out there, you know, a little bit that this process is well underway and we found many very interesting documents, I must say. And the first releases will begin very very soon. So, you can go out and see if that phenomena is correct. You'll figure it out. Let me know. Let me know. But we've had a lot of lot of questions. It's uh it's something that really captivates the mind. There's no question about it. With your support, we will crush violent crime, impose harsh new penalties for repeat offenders. I mean, we have pe people that have been taken in 28 times. We have some 28 times and they let them go out two days later. Crack down on Marxist prosecutors and rogue judges. The judges are horrible. Add deadly sanctuary cities in our country and end no cash bail, which really started it all. No cash bail is a disaster. Somebody shoots somebody, they go in, they just let them out, then they go shoot somebody else the same day. We will stop the radical left Democrats rampant looting of your taxpayer dollars. And we will win the war on fraud, which is being headed by our great vice president, JD Vance. We're going to win it. We're going to win it. I said, J D, I want that job. I want that job. It's so bad. You look at Minnesota, you look at California, you look at some of these states, it's so bad. Maine, believe it or not, is terrible. Maine, who would think Maine so bad? But we're right on their ass. We're right on their ass. And we will pass the great health care plan. We call it the great health care plan to stop all payments to big insurance companies and give the money. What we want to do is this. We want the insurance companies to be cut out. We want our government not to pay trillions of dollars to insurance companies, but to pay that same amount of money directly to the people directly. And you go out and buy your own healthcare. And everybody likes it. The problem is the Democrats don't like it because they're owned by the insurance companies. So they vote no. No. But we're going to get it done one way or the other. We will make most favored nation discounts on drug prices permanent law. So I got you drug reductions on prescription drugs. Most favored nation. You know what that means? That means we pay the lowest of any nation in the world. When I got into office, we paid the highest of any nation in the world. I got the nations to agree because I threaten them with tariffs if they don't do it. And I got the insurance companies. I got the drug companies to do it. So, your drug prices are going to be reduced by 60, 70, 80, and in some cases even more than 80%. Nobody has ever done that. And that alone should win us the midterm, but it won't because nobody wants to write. The fake news doesn't want to write about it. It's unbelievable. With the help of our Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., we will make America healthy again. Maha. Has anyone ever heard of Maha? We will make America healthy again. He's doing a great job, Bobby. And Dr. Oz is doing a great job. Already, we eliminated petroleumbased food dyes, reformed the vaccine schedule, and introduced the real food pyramid. We're cleaning up the whole mess. It's a mess. And to help young people afford a house, we will permanently ban Wall Street from buying up thousands and thousands of single family homes and taking them off to play. And we will pass the Save America Act to protect our sacred American election where all voters must show voter ID. Little things like that. All voters must show proof of citizenship. How about that? Who would think? It's a 97% issue and the Democrats are holding it back. 97. It's 87% with Republicans and Democrats. So, even Democrats want it. But the politicians don't want Democrats because when you have policy as bad as they have, like men playing in women's sports, transgender for everybody, open borders where people come in totally unvetted, just walk into our country and criminals all over the world, when you have the only way you can win is to cheat. Really, I really believe that. So, they don't want to have voter ID. They don't want to have proof of citizenship. But we'll get it. We're going to get it. And no mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, military, or travel. Mail-in ballots are a big fraud. It's a big fraud. The mail-in vote is a big fraud. And we will also add into permanent statutes a very simple thing called no men in women's sports and no transgender mutilization surgery for your children. We're putting that in. We're putting that in because I call them best of. Do you know what best of? Best of trump. Can you believe it? Best of trump. Men can Did you ever see the weightlifting records? For 18 years, the record stood held by a young woman who was quite strong. It was like 212 pounds. It's a lot. It stood for 18 years. And then a young man decided to go the opposite route and he wanted to become a young woman >> and he transitioned >> and he was a failed weightlifter in the men's division. But as a woman he was brutal >> and he broke the record. Remember this is a record that stood for 18 years. They'd put an eighth of an ounce here, an eighth of an ounce here. For 18 years they couldn't quite do it. He broke the record by 112 pounds or the swimming records or the long distance running records. You could go short distance also. Did you see recently there was a long distance race. It went on forever. One of these triathlete type races that top men, top women. The man won by 5 hours 18 minutes and 57 seconds. In fact, he went home and took a nap before getting his award. He slept for exactly 5 hours. Then he got up and picked up his award. It's very demeaning to women. It's very unfair to women. But together, we will defend our cherished American heritage. We will defeat America's enemies. We will unshackle our magnificent destiny. We will return American astronauts to the moon. And we will plant our flag someday soon on Mars. For almost 250 years, our nation has stood as an inspiration to humanity and proof of what American faith and courage can achieve. It's amazing what's happened, especially what's happened over the last year. Our ancestors won our independence, vanquished foreign armies, and conquered wild frontiers. They fought perilous battles, cross jagged mountains, and in the middle of empty deserts, they built leaming cities like Phoenix, Arizona. Have you heard of it? Right from a desert, generations before us poured out their blood, sweat, and tears to make America into the most exceptional nation the world has ever known. And today, we are making it more exceptional than ever thought possible than ever before. With your support in these midterms, we will continue this momentum and achieve total and ultimate victory for America. We will fight, fight, fight and win win win. And together we will make America powerful again. >> We will make America wealthy again. We will make America healthy again. We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again. Thank you very much, Arizona. Thank you. Thank you. Win those midterms. Thank you, everybody. There's no need to feel down yourself. the ground. I said young man's unhapp when you're on your way. Hey, hey, hey. Hey,
