Remarks: Donald Trump Holds a Virtual Tele-Rally for Burt Jones - June 11, 2026

12:00 PM
Donald Trump 00:00:00-00:00:18 (19 sec)

Thank you very much, Burt, and hello to all of the great patriots and that's what you are in the wonderful, beautiful state of Georgia where we had a tremendous victory just recently and we have, throughout the years, you've been with me and I've been with you. There's a very important election going on in your state, as you know, and that's why I'm doing this.

Donald Trump 00:00:18-00:00:51 (32 sec)

I don't do it often, but I am in this case and I'm asking you to get out and vote for Burt Jones, a terrific person for your next governor. Early voting concludes tomorrow, June 12th. So go out tomorrow right away. You get out there and vote, or you voted your polls on Tuesday, June 16th. And, uh, either way, it doesn't matter, although, you know, probably a lot of people would rather see you vote on Tuesday, because, you know, we have a lot of rigged elections going on in this country, which is why we want to pass the SAVE America Act.

Donald Trump 00:00:51-00:01:13 (22 sec)

But polls open at 7:00 AM and close at 7:00 PM and many Republicans did not vote in the primary and, uh, despite the popularity of Burt, uh, a lot of people thought that maybe they didn't have to. And Burt, Burt won by quite a margin anyway, but very important that you get out and vote for Burt. He's a, uh, person that's been with me from the very beginning.

Donald Trump 00:01:13-00:01:32 (19 sec)

He was the first member of the Georgia Assembly to endorse me for president and he battled very strongly tooth and nail, frankly, for the election integrity in your state. He never backed down and he became a fanatic and a fanta. -- he was, he was fantastic. He was a fanatic when it came to election fraud.

Donald Trump 00:01:32-00:01:49 (17 sec)

He believed it and he knows that we've been proven right. We have been, there's been a big group of us. Now there's a group of probably 70% of the country. But, uh, he was a fantastic Lieutenant Governor. Burt is my complete and total endorsement for this position as governor. He's gonna be a great governor.

Donald Trump 00:01:49-00:02:09 (20 sec)

As you probably know, Burt is not only a leader of courage, he's also a Georgia football legend. He's actually a legend and, uh, he was one of the best players on the SEC Championship team. He is a winner at everything he does and he's gonna be a winner as governor and the people are gonna really love him.

Donald Trump 00:02:09-00:02:33 (23 sec)

He's a very special man and his father is likewise. There's been no one better than Burt to keep the radical left Democrats and these lunatics out of government and out of the governor's mansion. He'll keep transgender for everyone out of your schools and he'll crack down on sanctuary cities and release criminals into your communities into the Biden administration.

Donald Trump 00:02:33-00:02:55 (23 sec)

It was crazy. 25 million people were allowed to come into our country. There were, uh, horrible, some horrible, uh, drug dealers. Think of it. People from mental institutions, murderers, 11,888 murderers and 50%, more than 50% killed more than, they murdered more than one person, one murdered, seven people is what we have.

Donald Trump 00:02:55-00:03:17 (21 sec)

We've gotten them out of here, a lot of them. We're looking for the rest. Not easy. Not easy. Should have never happened. Burt also really has what it takes to keep Georgia's economy growing. He was a very successful businessman and I knew him then too, with a plan to bring jobs and factories pouring into your state.

Donald Trump 00:03:17-00:03:38 (22 sec)

We right now have $11 trillion being invested. Whoop, $18 trillion being invested and, uh, into our country. The most ever in the history of the entire world. There's never been anything like it. It's the tariffs that we charge to people that have, that make their product outside of our country. They come in, they build and they don't have to pay any tariffs.

Donald Trump 00:03:38-00:03:59 (20 sec)

So it's $18 trillion and there's never been anything close. It was seven years ago, China at three trillion. As an example, the Biden administration in four years had much less than one trillion. We have 18 trillion in 11 months. There's never been anything like it and much of that's coming in. A big chunk is coming into Georgia.

Donald Trump 00:03:59-00:04:22 (23 sec)

That's why you see all those plants and factories and jobs happening in Georgia. But Burt will protect our veterans and police and he'll defend our always under siege Second Amendment and it is always under siege. I've been saving it for many years and no one will fight harder than Burt Jones to defend election integrity, one of my big things because our elections are corrupt.

Donald Trump 00:04:22-00:04:52 (30 sec)

You see that in California with what's happening where they voted and they still don't know what's going on with the elections. They took the one away from a young guy who was running and he was, looks like he was in first place. All of a sudden he's out of it. And, uh, they started that with Steve Hilton and I got on it and all of a sudden they said, "Well, no, in two weeks." And, uh, I got on it very hard and all of a sudden got on it hard enough, obviously, in, in fact, calling law enforcement.

Donald Trump 00:04:52-00:05:14 (22 sec)

And all of a sudden, almost immediately it announced that Steve Hilton won. They were going to take that away from him too. So we got to do something with it, but we got to pass the SAVE America Act. But once again, you can vote early tomorrow. You can go out and vote on election day Tuesday, June 16th. It's a big day and an important day for Georgia because I know that Burt is going to do such a fantastic job.

Donald Trump 00:05:14-00:05:46 (31 sec)

And you have any questions, you can go to swampthevoteusa.com, swampthevoteusa.com. And Georgia, I just want to thank you for voting for me, frankly. We had a great election. We won by a lot and then we won the whole thing by a lot, by landslides and it's an honor and our country's doing really well. I don't know if you heard, but we ended the war with Iran today and they have agreed never to have a nuclear weapon, something that we, we insisted on. That was a whole purpose.

Donald Trump 00:05:46-00:06:02 (16 sec)

That was a 95% of it and, uh, they've done it in the most powerful way you can do it. So I just want to thank everybody for your support and go out and vote for Burt and I really appreciate it. He's an outstanding guy and Burt, I'll give it back to you. Thank you very much.``
