Speech: Donald Trump Holds a Midterm Political Rally in Syracuse, New York - October 9, 2026

Thank you. Wow. [Audience chants "USA"] Well, a very, very special hello to Syracuse. We love Syracuse, always loved it. And it's great to be back in upstate New York, just a short distance from the beautiful shores of Lake America. And with your vote just 25 days from now, New York is going to defeat radical left Governor Kathy Hochul.

And we're going to send Bruce Blakeman to the governor's mansion, and he's going to do a job like you've never seen. He's fantastic. I've known him a long time. He's a fantastic man. He'll straighten things out fast. We're going to elect a Republican House and a Republican Senate, stop the Dumocrats and the communists and we're going to do a number like nobody's ever seen.

They have a big surprise coming. And you know, the fake news, when they're out talking, they didn't know that we were going to be doing this. They thought I was going to be sitting home taking it easy in the White House, I wasn't going to be out every night doing a rally. These rallies have changed it so much and so great.

So -- They thought I'd be relaxing, relaxing in the beautiful White House that I reskinned and made beautiful again. It was a little shake -- it was a little bit -- a little bit off, to put it mildly. Made it beautiful again. They said, why does he spend time fixing the White House? You know why, because that's the symbol of America.

You got to fix it. It's got to be good. Right, Lee? In this election, I'm asking you to do me a favor, just pretend I'm on the ballot. Here's the story, when I'm on the ballot, we win everything. When I'm not on the ballot, 48 percent of you don't vote. Please pretend I'm on the freaking ballot, will you?

Pretend. And early voting starts on October 24th and continues through November 1st, and then, really, in a certain way, I am on the ballot because they can take away everything that we -- that we got. We got so much. We're -- we're in the golden age. That beautiful young lady has a golden age of America shirt on. Where is she?

Golden age. And we're in the golden age of America. We've never been -- oh, there she is. Look at her. I won't say she's beautiful, because in politics, if you say somebody is beautiful, that's the end of your political career. I will not say she's beautiful. I will say she's young and she's a lady, but you are beautiful.

But -- but that's a great shirt. I like that shirt. We're in the golden age of America. And if you're voting by mail, make sure that you request your ballot. October 24th, remember that, and have it postmarked by Election Day. I don't know, I always like Election Day better, but what do I know about things like that?

And whatever you do, you have to get out, you have to vote, whether you vote by mail. Make sure if you vote by mail you trace it, please, if you don't mind, because we want to make this -- how about Kamala the other day, she said, we want to make the next election too big to rig. She used my statement. She got killed.

She got killed. But Kathy Hochul and the radical Dumocrats -- [Booing] -- have turned New York into a national embarrassment of high costs, high crime, massive corruption and communist politicians chasing jobs and businesses and wealth. You're chasing them out of the state of New York. And under Dumocrat rule, New York has the number one highest taxes in the country, the number one worst business climate in the country, the number one -- these are all the numbers.

You're the number one highest homelessness in the country, and more people are leaving New York than any state in America. Other than that, I think you're doing quite well, by the way, congratulate -- the people of New York need to clean house in Albany November 3rd, starting with Kathy Hochul. And her totally corrupt sidekick, Letitia, peekaboo, James.

She's corrupt. And by the way, you have a great -- you have a great attorney general candidate. I don't know if she's here. I don't know, but boy, you have a great -- I watched her, she was great. They had a debate the other night. She just destroyed Letitia. In fact, it was just revealed that Letitia James is being looked at for prosecutorial misconduct with respect to how she handled the case of your favorite president, me. She -- prosecutorial misconduct.

A great and brave prosecutor in her office. After one year of hunting and searching, Donald Trump, a great prosecutor in her office, turned on them. And after over a year of looking at me, said, we have absolutely nothing on him. Everybody agreed there was nothing. Can you imagine? I did -- I did nothing wrong and Letitia James said, after a year and a half, we don't care, we're going to get him anyway.

So we don't want that. We don't want -- and here we are. How did that work out? Not so good. Here we are. And then I ride back tonight to the White House, I ride back to the Oval Office because we have support like nobody ever in the history of politics. There's never been anything like it. And on Election Day, New Yorkers should tell both Hochul and that disgusting Letitia, dog.

She's a dog. You're fired, get the hell out of here. You're fired. They're corrupt, incompetent. The city and state are dirty, filthy places. We're losing our tax base, and everybody wants to leave. This is not the state that I remember 10 years ago when I went to Washington, DC, to be your president. This is not the state.

What's happened in the last number of years is very sad to watch. You had a couple of bad mayors. You had a lot of bad stuff happening, and it's only getting worse. It's only getting worse. Today, I watched, there are companies leaving the New York Stock Exchange for Texas, for the Texas Stock Exchange. Did you see that?

They should have never allowed that to happen. Companies are -- I watched today on television. I saw the news. I wanted to see this, two great companies are leaving the New York Stock Exchange for the Texas Stock Exchange. That's a hell of a -- you know, that -- that really hit me. I said, wow, and that's just the beginning.

They got to get their act together. And I'll tell you what, Bruce Blakeman will get your act together. You know, I see somebody in the audience that I will never fight. I promise you I will never get it to him. But I remember when Mike was in his prime, when he was a heavyweight champion of the world. He'd stand in the corner and his people would all be holding him back.

He wanted to kill whoever it was. [Laughter] He was a very dangerous person, actually, and he was one of the greatest fighters in history. And I just see him standing right next to Bruce Blakeman. Bruce wants a little protection he's got the right guy. Iron Mike Tyson is here. Whoa. Bruce knows who to stand here.

The Dumocrat Party has no solutions to our problems. They're the ones that got us there and they have already proven that they'll never get us out. You know, when I first -- when I first got elected -- so you take office on January 20th and -- hello.

[Protesters interrupt the rally.]

[Audience boos, chants "USA"] You know, they're all paid protesters, right? You know. You know, they're all paid by the radical left scum. They're all paid. Do you ever see these people with the signs? They're all beautiful. Like, you know, totally professionally made. They're the same print, the same color they come from the same -- no, those are all paid political actors.

Losers all. Every one of them's a loser. So after destroying our country for four long years, they destroyed -- Sleepy Joe Biden and that group they destroyed our country. Before I took office, Dumocrats suddenly want to talk about the word affordability. They're the ones that caused the affordability problem.

Crooked Joe Biden and the Dumocrats created the affordability situation. Donald J. Trump and Congressional Republicans, our Senate, our House, we're fixing it and we're fixing it and prices are coming down very fast. And remember this, 25 out of 25 states with the highest cost of living and the highest rates of crime are all run by the Dumocrats.

Every one of them. [Audience boos] And Biden and the last Dumocrat Congress gave you the worst inflation in American history, with prices skyrocketing between 22 and 75 percent. So my first day in office, I took office on January 20th. On January 21st, I had my first news conference. I wasn't running because the election was rigged and I wasn't running it but now I was back.

I did so well the second time I said, I'll do it again, because if I didn't think I did well, but we did well we won it. They cheated. They cheated. That's all they're good at is cheating. That's why they don't want voter ID. They don't want proof of citizenship. Tell me, why would somebody say no voter ID? We don't want voter ID. We don't want because they want to cheat.

They want to cheat. You ever watch these guys when they ask him on a show, they'll say, sir, why don't you want voter ID? Why do you not go along with proof of citizenship in order to vote? And they can't answer the question. And they go like, oh, well, uh, let's see oh, I have an idea, it's racist. That's right.

It's racist, everything's racist. They are the greatest bullshit artists in the world. [Laughter] Everything's -- everything's racist. It's racist. We don't want proof of citizenship because it's racist to ask somebody if you happen to be a citizen of the United States, that's a racist question. These people are sick.

Under the Trump administration core inflation is down to 1.8 percent. We got it we gave you, as you know, in the great big, beautiful bill, the largest tax cuts in American history and we restored your state and local income tax deduction or SALT. We gave you SALT deduction back saving the typical New York family over $7,000. I did that.

You think it was easy? You think that was easy? Taking it away from 49 other states. It wasn't too easy. Here in New York Hochul and the Dumocrats have given you some of the highest -- and she is really -- they're -- what a terrible job. The highest energy costs by far anywhere in the country, that's what you're paying.

Hochul is viciously enforcing the New York version of the Green New Scam, one of the greatest scams in history. Remember, we were all supposed to be dead within 12 years, remember? Where are you? Anybody die? Anybody in the audience is dead? Remember that? That was an AOC hoax. She knew nothing about the environment.

She never even studied. She never even took a course but she predicted everybody would be dead within 12 years. It was global warming, and that didn't work because the planet started cooling. The icebergs are bigger than ever so they said, wait a minute, this global warming thing is not working out too well.

Let's go to climate change that covers everything. See with climate change it can get warm it can get cool, it can rain, it can snow, can get hot as hell. Climate change fits anything unless it stays exactly the same. Uh, do you have more crap going on this? They don't sleep at night they're thinking about scams all the time the Dumocrats are.

For which will completely ban -- they want to completely ban oil -- oil, natural gas, clean, beautiful coal from electricity generation in your state. They want to give you windmills that don't work, cost you a fortune, kill all the birds. [Audience boos] They're all made in China. You know, it's interesting.

China makes the windmills but try finding a wind farm in China. There is no such thing. They make the windmills. We have the great Lee Zeldin here he's in charge of the environment, by the way. And I'll tell you, he almost won. He ran some great race. He came within points of winning four years ago. He's unbelievable.

He's now our Environmental Protection Agency and he's doing a great job. Nobody better. He's an MVP. Lee Zeldin is an MVP. I'm so glad you lost. [Laughter] No, I think if he wanted to be governor, I really -- your job right now happens to be, I think maybe even more important. What a job he's done. We love him.

We love him. He's the real deal but Lee will tell you, you go to China, they make all these windmills they spew all this stuff up there, all that crap, the carbon goes up as they're making them but try finding a wind farm in China. You know what they use? Clean beautiful coal. I told my people coal needs a little public relations help.

So I said, you're not allowed to mention the word coal without preceding it with the words clean, beautiful so they always go -- whenever we talk about coal, we say clean, beautiful coal. But, you know, there's a reason China uses it because it happens to be the strongest source of power and we have the great Chris Wright, number one person in maybe the history of the oil business, turning out to be. You know, it's actually when you think about it, it's turning out to be true.

And remember this, as soon as the war is over, oil is tumbling down like you've never seen. It's already coming way down we control the strait. Oil is coming down, inflation is down and you're going to have a country -- you talk about the golden age. You're going to have a country like we've never had before.

There's never been $21 trillion invested in any -- we have $21 trillion being invested in our country. There's never been any country that's been even close. Building factories, plants. So the Dumocrat policies are projected to add $3 to every gallon of gasoline. Think of that. Oh, look at California. California the tax is higher than the cost of -- what they've done in California is unbelievable.

The tax on gasoline but the cost of families in upstate New York is $4,000 a year just in your higher electricity bills and I guess, are we considering this upstate? I consider this upstate. Sort of up -- I say -- I say Syracuse is sort of upstate, but your energy bills are the highest in the nation. I hate to to tell you that.

And when -- when this -- when Bruce gets in, you're going to have from the highest in the nation, I believe, to among the lowest in the nation, because -- -- because he's going to tap in -- he's going to tap into your oil. You know, you're sort of sitting on reserves like -- not -- look, Texas is Texas, but you're damn close.

You are sitting on some of the greatest oil reserves anywhere in the world, and you're not allowed to touch it. But you know who is taking it, Pennsylvania, Ohio, all this. And you know what they're doing, they go straight down -- you know, you can make those drill bits talk. You can make them sing. You can make them go -- they go down, New York's over here, Pennsylvania -- they go down and they take a sharp left and they suck our oil out.

Can you believe it? And if you go upstate New York, you'll see lines of different states and you'll see one has Cadillacs, because they like Cadillacs better than they like Mercedes. But one has an Escalade and one has a 50-year-old Chevy. And you're talking about three feet. It's a line that goes right up. One has some beautiful drilling plants and one has no drilling plants, got no money.

It's got poverty. What they've done to this state is unbelievable. They won't let you take -- you know, they won't let you build a pipeline through your state. They don't even have to touch your land. It goes under, goes way underground. They won't let you build it, which is, by the way, killing the East coast.

It's killing the East coast. Was he a friend or an enemy? [Booing] That's all right. His -- his mother just called him, get out of there, son. She's watching. Get out of there, son, you stupid guy. His mom is calling. Because his mother -- he doesn't know, his mother's a big Trump voter. [Laughter] But Hochul closed the nuclear power plant along the Hudson River.

That immediately lifted everybody's bills up by 60 percent. Congratulations. And Kathy Hochul is trying to ban all gas stoves and furnaces. You can't use gas stoves. You know, I know a lot of chefs, and they want to cook with gas. But in New York, you -- you won't be able to. Unless you put this guy in office, you're not going to be able to. They want to cook with gas.

No, they want -- I don't know anything about cooking. I'm not big into the world of cooking, but they want to cook with gas. They say it's better or something. Who the hell knows? But you're not going to be able to have it. You're going to have to get rid of your gas stoves. You're going to have to get rid of your gas furnaces.

You're going to have to get rid of -- it's going to cost you a fortune, by the way. But since Hochul took office, she's raised your utility rates 48 times, and energy prices in New York have skyrocketed over 100 percent. Other than that, wonderful. It's horrible. This winter, home heating costs in your state are expected to explode, still further from those rates, 100 percent increase, all because the radical left Dumocrats and Kathy Hochul don't know what the hell they're doing.

They don't know what they're doing. And the only way to end this high cost energy disaster is to throw the Democrats out of office. You got to throw them out, and you got to elect Republicans at every single level. You need to vote for Bruce Blakeman and New York common sense. And I make this statement, it's not even a prediction, it's a fact, if Bruce Blakeman gets in, he will cut your electric bills by 70, 80 and 90 percent.

Be cut. They'll be cut like you have never seen before. Thanks to the heroes of the US military, we also now have total control of the Strait of Hormuz. You know, we have total -- And more oil is coming through the strait today than it was before the war. Do you believe that one? Refiners and retailers need to start dropping their prices right now.

We want -- we're getting them so much oil. And by the way, today, Russia agreed to send us millions and millions of barrels of oil, and it's diesel. That's what we really need. So thank you. And we're doing all of this and ensuring that Iran -- again, we're doing all of this and Iran is in deep trouble. The only thing they have is inflation.

Everything else is no good. They have 301 percent inflation. They have no money. Their military is not being paid. Their police aren't being paid. But remember this, they will never, ever have a nuclear weapon. That's the reason we went there. Less than two years ago, the radical left Dumocrats handed us the dark age of America, but now we quickly turn the dark age into the golden age of America.

Despite all of the obstruction from the radical left, our nation is doing better now than it has ever done before. The fake news doesn't know what to do. The fake news hates it. You know the fake news, see all those people back there, they want to see our country fail. And these fakers back there, actually, they're not all bad.

About 92 percent of them are terrible. We have eight percent that are good. I'm looking at them, all those lights, they don't know what the hell they're doing. But the fake news media refuses to talk about our record-setting numbers. So if you don't mind quickly, I will do it myself. I'm going to do it. So -- so these are government statistics.

They're not made by me. They're government statistics. In fact, they're made by people that lean left. They call them lean left. It was just announced that under Republican leadership, incomes for hard-working Americans have soared to the highest level ever recorded, not bad. More Americans are working today, right now, than at any time in the history of our country.

And, you know, that's despite the fact, and I hated to do it, but I had to do it because we want to make America great again. We've cut way over a million federal jobs. So our numbers are good and all -- we've cut over a million jobs, and I hate to do that. And you know, those people, federal workers, they hated me and now they like me. You know why?

They went to the private sector. They're getting jobs that are paying them twice as much, and they like the work better. We had 10 people wrapped around a chore that was supposed to be the work for one. So we've cut, essentially, more than a million, much more than a million people off the payroll, and yet, our -- we have more people working.

With that, we have more people working today than any time in the history of our country. But you have to remember. And if you want me to really make that number look good, let me hire those million people back. It'll be the greatest numbers ever, but not good for our country. The poverty rate has just reached its lowest level, the best number, lowest level in American history, the poverty rate.

African American poverty, Hispanic American poverty, and Native American poverty rates are all at their lowest levels ever recorded. Think of that. So the poverty numbers are the best. The income numbers are the best. The job numbers are the best. The stock market has soared to 83 all-time record highs just in a year and a half.

And a number I love because there was a man a long time ago, you probably don't remember him. His name is Barack Hussein Obama. [Booing] Long time ago, a long time -- there's another man I love here, Tom Homan. Is he central casting? I love that guy. But Barack Hussein Obama, a long time ago, he said, we will never be a manufacturing country again.

Well, those are the best jobs. Exports, it was just announced yesterday, exports. That's, we make a product and we export. Exports have soared to the highest level in American history, think of that. And as many leaders have said, the king of Saudi Arabia, many leaders said just a short while ago, sir, your country was dead, yet a dead country.

I knew exactly what he meant and now, sir, you have the hottest country anywhere in the world. We're the hottest in the world. In four long years, under Sleepy Joe Biden and the Biden administration, which was 100 percent corrupt, they got less than $1 trillion of new investment into the United States. We secured, on the other hand, commitments of more than $21 trillion in one-and-a-half years.

And that's the highest number of investment dollars into a country in the history of the world. That means every country that includes China, that includes -- there's never been -- $21 trillion think of that in a little more than a year and a half and they did in four years, not a trillion, but a half a trillion so we're $21 trillion in a year and a half, think of it, and they're a half a trillion dollars in 4 years.

And also their costs went through the roof, including welfare. Their welfare doubled, tripled or quadrupled thanks to my tariffs my favorite word -- is my favorite word. Well, maybe not my favorite because the fake news killed me one day. I said tariff is my favorite word. You know, tariffs are making us rich as hell.

Tariff is my all these companies are coming in because they don't want to pay tariffs if you build your plant here, you don't have to pay tariffs. That's why we're building more plants than at any time in the history of our country by far. A lot of them are being built in Syracuse. Micron a lot of them are being built in Syracuse.

But -- but just think of it so we are building now more than we've ever done it's all because of my tariff policy which is 50 percent, 100 percent, 200 percent, 300 percent, 350, whatever. But you don't have to pay anything if you make your product here. If you make your product in Japan and South Korea, in Germany and lots of other wonderful countries, we're not going to let you do that.

You have to make it here otherwise you have to pay tariffs and we're taking in trillions of dollars. More importantly though, is these companies don't want to pay it, they can't pay it so they're all coming here and they're building plants. We're building auto plants we're building -- we have more pharmaceutical plants being built now than any time in the history of our country.

Toyota just announced they're going to build a massive new plant in the United States. They're leaving Texas. They're leaving oh, Canada. They're leaving oh, Canada. They're leaving -- they're building -- we don't want Canada's cars. We want to build our cars and, you know, just one of those little things.

But micron is investing over $100 billion in creating 50,000 jobs in central New York, including the largest investment in the history of Syracuse, that we had to work with them long and hard. Get them going. This will soon be the home to the largest semiconductor manufacturing facility ever built in the Western Hemisphere.

And our country is doing so well under Republican leadership that only I can make this statement, right? If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate, I am going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America $5,000 each. And only Republicans can do that and the Democrats can't because we're taking in massive amounts of money through tariffs and record setting economic success but the Dumocrat policies won't allow this to happen so they don't have the money to make a promise like that.

If the Democrats win, you will have a 1929-style economic depression. If the Republicans win, you will each have $5,000 in your pocket and economic success for our country the likes of which we have never, ever seen before. And remember just recently, just to prove it all because they say, oh, you won't be able to do it. We do everything.

Just recently, I gave all members of the United States military $1,776. $1,776. And they all said, oh, that can't be done. It was less than a year ago and, you know, I actually asked because what we did is so incredible with Venezuela. What a great success that was. The fake news, I call it the artificial news because we're calling -- we're calling a certain other term super so I figured I'd use the artificial for the media, the artificial media, the fake.

I don't know let's go with the fake news. You can't beat it, right? The fake and disgusting. We'll call it the fake and disgusting. The problem with fake it's not tough enough because they're -- they're actually totally dishonest people, many of them, most of them. But think of this, 1776. So I asked some people, great people.

Russell Vought, a legend, some of these guys, I said, do me a favor how much can I give as a bonus to our military? Less than a year ago and they came back, $1,775, $1,750. I said, wow and they put the number -- a number, very high IQ individual, they put the number on my desk, $1,775. I said, wait a minute if I add $1, just $1. Can we do that $1, Mr. Accountant?

Can I add $1? And then I'm giving the military $1,776. They said we can do that. And we did we gave them the money. We gave them the money. So the Trump dividend, that's the $5,000 that everyone's getting if the Republicans win. The Trump dividend of approximately $1 trillion is what it's going to cost. Somebody said, oh, it's inflationary.

No, it's not inflationary. It's peanuts compared to the numbers we're doing. We have such growth. We've never had growth like this. But think of it, the $1 trillion for the Trump dividend but we have a record setting $21 trillion that's being invested into our country in just 15 months, so that the $1 trillion is really not the number that it sounds and I did it with our military.

The only caveat on the Trump dividend is that you must spend your money in the United States of America, please. You don't mind? Got to be spent in Syracuse. If you don't spend it in Syracuse, etcetera, I don't like it. You can't spend it. We're not looking to have you go to Japan, China let's go. Darling, let's take a little trip to China.

Let's spend $5,000. No, we want you to spend it in the United States of America, the greatest country in the world. So my administration has also located billions and billions of dollars that were supposed to be spent on improving Medicare, but they never spent it. So instead, they wanted to hide it they wanted to keep it and try and make their fake numbers look better.

This is the Dumocrats. This week over 20 million seniors are going to receive a check for a minimum of $100 each because I found all that money and was sending it back to the people to whom it belongs. And in New York State -- in New York State, that's 1 million seniors right here in New York State. But the big one still is going to be the Trump dividend and it'll happen very easily.

So the choice in this election is very simple. You can vote for the radical left Dumocrat communist to loot your wealth, raise your taxes by $5 trillion, annihilate your borders, crush New York's farms and factories, mutilate your children, and give 25 million illegal aliens amnesty and the right to vote.

They want to give illegal aliens the right to vote. Does anybody like that idea? No. [Audience response "No"] Or you can defeat the Dumocrat communists and vote for more money in your pockets bigger paychecks for families, lower taxes, less crime, a roaring New York economy, and no amnesty for illegal aliens.

You must vote Republican, and that includes our Congressman and our great Senators. Just think of what we've accomplished in less than two years' time. We inherited the worst border in American history, and we turned it into the strongest and most secure border in the history of our country, the strongest border.

And the numbers just came out, official government numbers. It's actually hard to believe because 25 million people poured into our country under Sleepy Joe. You know why, he was sleeping. He didn't care. In the past 17 months, zero illegal aliens have been admitted into the United States through our southern border.

Thank you, Tom Homan. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Tom Homan. Yet here in New York, Kathy Hochul and the Dumocrats have established a so-called sanctuary state. This is a -- in other words, that's a state to protect criminals. Sanctuary, Tom Homan, wouldn't you say sanctuary city or state is a state to protect criminals, right?

And to hurt people that are God-fearing, wonderful, taxpaying people. And Hochul signed the law herself. This means that every day, Dumocrats release hundreds and hundreds of migrant criminals who have been arrested for serious crimes -- crimes, including murder, and set them loose and to prey on innocent New Yorkers all over the state.

And you see it. In less than two years, New York has released criminal illegal aliens with charges and convictions for over 48,000 crimes. These are the people they released, just released them into the streets, including 8,600 assaults, 1,600 robberies, and thousands and thousands of rapes and kidnappings and murders.

Dumocrat sanctuary policies always put innocent lives at risk, including the brave members of law enforcement. the law enforcement suffers with this too. And if they do anything, they get the hell knocked out of them politically and legally. They go after them. Just last week, two illegal aliens from the Dominican Republic, who were released into our country by Crooked Joe Biden and had numerous prior arrests, they had a rap sheet like you wouldn't believe, one after another, attempted to rob an off-duty New York police officer, stabbing, hacking and slashing him seven times in the most dangerous locations. [Booing] You know that.

In recent weeks, ICE has also arrested in New York, a Dominican national previously convicted of murder. Oh, that's nice. He's going to make a wonderful citizen. A Mexican national with convictions for rape, forgery and also heinous, heinous crimes many times over. And just yesterday, our heroes of ICE apprehended a man with a criminal record a mile long who was wanted for possible murder and murder in a gang.

In other words, a gang murdered somebody. Very nice person. He's a very dangerous man and they got him. But instead of being praised, ICE was scorned by New York politicians who set him loose. They want to set him loose. We want him to be loose. Guys wanted for murder, they want him to be loose. And then they're surprised when they see your crime stats.

If you want to stop illegal alien criminals from being released into your communities, you must elect Bruce Blakeman and a Republican Congress. And we will ban sanctuary cities and sanctuary states at long last. Right? In two years of Republican leaders, we achieved the largest drop in violent crime ever recorded in history.

And that's despite 25 million people having come in. We got a lot of them out, however. The murder rate is at the lowest level in 125 years, since the year 1900. And if Bruce Blakeman, as your governor, calls me to help straighten out in New York City or pretty dangerous parts of this state that I know and love so much, I'll be there within 24 hours, Bruce.

And within two months, you'll go from a high crime city to almost no crime at all, just like I did in Washington, DC, Memphis, and New Orleans. [Audience chants "USA"] And thanks to our great Republican majorities, I signed a thing known as the Great Big, Beautiful Bill, giving you no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security for our great seniors.

And we made interest on car loans tax deductible, first time anything like that's ever happened, but only if the car is made in the USA. And under -- the best thing of all, under my Most Favored Nations agreement on drug prices, we went from paying the highest drug prices anywhere in the world, to paying the lowest drug prices anywhere in the world, with price differences of 300, 400, 500, 600, and even in some cases, 700 percent.

You know, in my first term, drug prices automatically went up, right? And then I think my third year, I was able to reduce drug prices by one eighth of one percent. I was so proud, because for 28 years, prices went up. And a gentleman came to -- sir, I just want to tell you that this is the first time in 28 years that drug prices have gone down.

I said, oh, that's great. Tell me, how much have they gone down? About one eighth of a percent, one eighth. Now we're doing 400, 500, 600 percent. I actually was so proud of myself that I called a news conference to announce that drug prices have gone down a little, tiny bit, but it was great. 28 years, they went up. I got them down.

But now we're talking about the big stuff, you know? Now we're talking about -- we're talking about where prices went down 50, 60, 70, 80 percent. I mean, a pill that in New York would cost $130 in London was going for $10. In München was going -- that's Munich for those of you that don't know, Munchen. In Munich, it would go from $10 to, let's say, Atlanta, $130. Now it's $20, $25, maybe $30 in those states and we're also $25 or $30. We brought it down by numbers that nobody has ever even thought possible.

And other -- other presidents never even tried because they said they'll never get other -- I had to get other countries to do it. You know what I told them? Like, I called Emmanuel Macron of France. I said, Emmanuel, how are you? Oh, Donald, Donald, it is so nice to hear your voice. The most beautiful accent.

I love that French accent. I said, Emmanuel, if you don't mind, I'd like you to raise your prescription drug prices by 100 percent. He said, are you crazy, Donald, why would I do such a thing? Because you're paying just a tiny fraction of what -- we're subsidizing you, Emmanuel. We're not going to do it anymore.

No, no, Donald, we cannot do that. I said no, you'll take it from $10 to $20 and maybe $30, Emmanuel. No, no, we will not. Yes you will, Emmanuel, 100 percent. No, Donald, I will not do that. I said, well then, Emmanuel, I'm going to put a 150 percent tariff on your wines, your champagnes and every other damn thing you sell into the United States of America.

And he said, very elegantly, very elegant man, he said, Donald, it would be my great honor to raise our drug prices. It would be a great honor to double and triple our prices in France. And you see how well they're doing. They're doing wonderful. The people are thrilled to be there. Do you see the riots in the street?

I don't imagine that was over what I'm talking about, but it's probably added to it. But I got all countries -- I had to get it from Germany, I had to get it from the UK. I had to get all countries to do. They had to agree. I got the drug companies, but I got them because they said, it doesn't matter you'll never get the countries.

So I got the drug companies pretty easily, but they said, well, we'll do it but it doesn't mean anything. Because if you don't get the approval of -- I got every single country, every one of them agreed to it. You think Sleepy Joe Biden could have done that? He didn't know he was alive. [Laughter] We abolished all discriminatory diversity, equity and inclusion policies throughout the federal government.

We got critical race theory and the transgender mutilization of your children out of our schools. We made English the official language of the United States of America. We delivered the largest ever investment in the United States Armed Forces over $1 trillion. All equipment is made in the USA. I also settled eight wars.

How about this? So you see that? Today they gave out the Nobel Peace Prize to a person. I'd never heard of the person. Nobody did. It's a mystery person. How about this, though? I settled eight wars with letters being sent from every president and prime minister, from all of those countries that I helped to stop they sent him to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Norway and I'm about to settle or win two more Iran and Russia and Ukraine we're going to get them out.

Russia, Ukraine we're going to get that all done, too. And that's happening quickly and I will tell you what, Iran will be very quick one way or the other. Either they give us everything or they don't exist any longer. They know that. But Russia-Ukraine and Iran they're moving along at rapid speed but forget them.

Forget them, just forget them. It's the eight wars that I've already settled. Any one of which in particular? Like Pakistan and India they were going at it eight days. Eleven planes were shot down. They were starting -- by the way that's two nuclear nations. That would have been bad, but would be far more necessary.

Think of it. Any one of these eight wars, you get the Nobel Prize. I did eight. No president has ever done any. I settled eight wars. Kosovo and Serbia. The Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, that war was going on for many years, millions of people were killed. I got it settled. Pakistan and India.

I called them up I said, if you guys don't stop killing each other I'm going to charge you 250 percent in tariffs and we're not going to trade with you. They said no, no, no, you cannot do that. I said, yes, I can. And by the way, the prime minister of Pakistan, a great gentleman, by the way, great man, actually, he said if President Trump hadn't stopped this war, 50 million people would have been killed, two nuclear nations.

And I don't know if it was 50. It could be much more than that you know, it could be much more. Israel and Iran, in a sense, because Iran is -- we've wiped out their nuclear capacity, totally wiped it out. Egypt and Ethiopia over the dam. They have a big dam project in -- Ethiopia, built a dam, one of the biggest in the world, financed, of course, by America and stupid thing to do. And they took all the water from a place called the Nile River.

You know, it's not too good if you're Egypt, and the Nile River has no water in it but I worked that out. Armenia and Azerbaijan, 32 years in fact, Putin couldn't believe it he said, I've worked for ten years to settle that war and I couldn't do it I got it done in two days. Israel and Hamas -- Hamas. Hamas is a much different Hamas now.

But additionally, I stopped Iran from having a nuclear weapon and blowing up the entire Middle East. And ultimately far beyond the Middle East, including Europe, perhaps us and I saved more lives than anyone in history and as Maria Corina Machado, a very fine woman, she got the Nobel Prize last year, do you remember?

And she stated to the media when she announced and they announced that it was given to Maria, a very fine woman from Venezuela and she said, no, no, no, I don't deserve this. I didn't know her. I never met her didn't hear of her I don't deserve this. The only one that's deserving of it is President Donald Trump.

And I'm going to give it to President Donald Trump. Fine woman. But based on my record of peace, a record like no one ever has had and I'm not saying this in a -- I'm just saying how crooked the whole Nobel Prize deal is. No one else has ever come close to achieving what we in our country -- I'm representing you, what the United States has achieved.

I got back all of the hostages in Israel, including the final 28, both living and dead. And I had to work with Hamas to do it. Think of that. I had to work with Hamas. I got back all of the hostages, living and dead and, you know, the parents of dead children that were the children to them, the parents of the dead children, they knew they were dead.

They wanted the body of their child every bit as much as the parents of the living children and we got them all back. Nobody can believe it. Nobody thought it was possible. I removed the world's evil dictator, Nicolas Maduro, from Venezuela and I'm in the process of making Venezuela very rich democracy, and we're taking out for ourselves -- we deserve it. To the victor belong the spoils, right?

We're taking out billions and billions and billions of dollars a day. In fact, Chris Wright can testify to that. He's in charge of energy. Likewise with Iran I stopped them from destroying Israel, the Middle East and Europe, and possibly a piece of the United States before we obliterated them. I'm also preventing, on a constant basis a war between South Korea and North Korea and Japan and North Korea and China and Taiwan, they haven't fought, and numerous other hot spots which have not been involved in wars only because of a gentleman known as President Donald J. Trump of the United States of America.

And I'm responsible for having NATO countries increase spending from 2 percent to 5 percent of GDP, creating a stronger alliance in defense another thing that everybody said it was impossible. I got them to 2 percent in my first then I got up to 5 percent. They said it wasn't possible. They're spending their own money we're not subsidizing them anymore.

Can you believe that? And I have negotiated the release and secured the return of more than 900 political prisoners from multiple countries in Eastern Europe. And additionally, I brought back 196 hostages home from captivity from all over the world and I did it without having a paid ransom unlike Biden and Obama that used to pay billions and billions of dollars to get a single person out of a prison.

I've paid nothing. And on top of it all, I have created a soon to be very prosperous Arctic and I also, by the way, got Greenland. I hope you're happy about that. Remember they all said, oh, he's never going to get it. No way. And for the right price, you know what we paid, right? Zero. Despite all of this and all of these unbelievable accomplishments, the Nobel Prize was given out today to a liberal person who works at the United Nations who nobody has ever heard of. [Audience boos] I've never heard of the person.

I know a lot of people I never heard of this particular person but congratulations anyway. In all of the wars that I have settled, I never spoke to the United Nations. They were of no help to me. The United States of America, represented by me as your president, should have received the Nobel Peace Prize, but didn't. And this is an indelible stain on the country of Norway, and those people that made such a disgraceful and embarrassing decision, the Nobel Peace Prize has been forever discredited by a handful of radical ideologues who are anti-democracy and really enemies of civilization.

And we will not forget Norway, that you didn't give this prize with the greatest record in history, not eight wars, we should have had eight Nobel Prizes for each war, but that you didn't give the Nobel Prize for peace to the United States of America is just another sign of how Norway and all these others are ripping off our country.

We achieved more in two years than any other presidency in the history of America, but now the radical left Dumocrats want to burn it all down. Every single Democrat in Congress voted against our record tax cuts. They voted against no tax on tips. They voted against no tax on overtime. They voted against no tax on Social Security for our great seniors.

They voted against voter ID. They voted against proof of citizenship. They voted against securing the border. They voted in favor of the transgender mutilization of your children. [Booing] They voted in favor of men in women's sports. They voted in favor of the worst inflation in American history. You know, I inherited the worst inflation in American history.

Now we have it down to 1.8 percent. How about that? On election night, New York is going to prove that America does not belong to those who hate it. America belongs to those people like you who love it. Here in New York, your Dumocrat communist politicians are a warning to the entire nation. Kathy Hochul increased your taxes by a staggering record $8 billion and gave you nothing but trouble.

She supports your no cash bail law, which releases dangerous criminals immediately upon arrest onto your streets. She spent billions and billions of dollars providing taxpayer-funded hotels, lawyers, cell phones and welfare to illegal aliens that came into our country. But to our soldiers and our veterans, they stay on the street on the outside of those luxury hotels where the illegals are dining and living.

Did you ever see the pictures? We have our soldiers sitting on the street, and we have illegal aliens being brought into luxury hotels, in many cases. Here in Syracuse, she destroyed the I 81 highway because the road was racist. She said the road was racist and she redirected traffic directly into the heart of your city, making it, I understand, not good.

Kathy Hochul supports transgender mutilization of your children. She supports men in women's sports, and a bill that would change the terms of mother and father to gestating and non-gestating parents. Do you believe it? [Booing] You can no longer say mother, hi, mom. It's hi gestating. Hi, gestating. I love you so much, gestating.

New York needs to throw out this radical left lunatic and elect Bruce Blakeman and get yourself back into shape. And I have to just tell you, in sort of closing, as county executive, Nassau County, Bruce single handedly turned that county, which had a lot of crime into what is now -- and he worked with us and the Trump administration.

It's now the safest county anywhere in America, and it's sort of right up the road, right? Bruce will pass the largest middle class tax cuts in the history of the state, and he will reduce -- he's going to reduce your energy bills almost immediately, by 50 to 75 percent. Bruce Blakeman, come up. Bruce.

Mr. President, thank you. Welcome to New York, President Trump. Let's hear it. All across America, people are happier under President Trump except one state. New York state is number 50 in economic outlook, the once great Empire State. We have to create good jobs, good benefits to keep our young people here.

We got to look at business not as the enemy but as a partner, cut taxes, cut utility bills and keep our community safe by getting rid of illegal migrants who are committing murder, burglary, rape, robbery and drug dealing. Mr. President, you like nicknames. I have one. It's clueless Kathy. You know, you talk about racism, this is unbelievable, Kathy Hochul said that Black kids in New York don't know what a computer is. What a disgusting, vile thing to say.

And I'll tell you one thing, I'll take any 12-year-old Black kid in New York State, he knows more about a computer than Kathy Hochul will ever know. And she's so clueless, she said, upstaters aren't sophisticated enough to make important decisions about their own life. I'll tell you one thing about upstaters, they got something Kathy Hochul doesn't have, common sense and good judgment.

So listen, you heard President Trump, let's get out there in record numbers. Let's get off the couch, go vote. And by the way, I don't want a lonely victory. We have to elect Republican members of the Congress and keep the majority. We need more Republican state Senators, more Republican state Assemblyman.

And every day -- every day, another Democrat comes up to me and says, Bruce, I'm a lifelong Democrat, I've never voted Republican before. This year, I'm voting for you, and I'm voting Republican because our party does no longer reflects us. They hate America, and we love America, and we love Donald J. Trump.

Thank you, Bruce. Look, I've just known him just for a second. I've known him for a long time, years. He's been a winner. Every thing he ever touches turns to gold and he -- what he did in Nassau County, that was tough. Republicans didn't go. He went there and he won years ago in a shocker and since then, he wins in a landslide every time.

They love him. He's an unbelievable -- law and order but fair law and order. He's a -- he's a great guy and you'll be lucky to have him. We'll all be lucky to have him. He'll save this state. He'll turn the state around, and I'll help him from the White House. I'll be helping him from the White House. We also need to elect a man, a hometown boy, a big hero, a big, strong looking guy.

I just met him. This guy is central casting for a sheriff, which is what he is, Sheriff Todd Hood as your lieutenant governor. Great guy. Good looking guy. And you have to go and get out and vote for Kaylee Buller for Congress, along with -- and I saw a poll on Kaylee. She's -- you're right there. You're going to win that sucker.

Kailee, Kailee buller. And a friend of mine, a guy who's amazing, I watched him speaking before, he's great, Anthony Constantino. Where is Anthony? Great. Come up, you two, quick, quick, quick, quick. You know, you got to get up. You know, these are the two. We can take these two seats. They're right there.

They're going to win. I'm going to give them a little help, give them a little money. They can win. Now you already spoke. If you want, you can, but these two people have to win. You did a great job today. Say something quickly. Thank you, Kailee.

Thank you, President Trump. What an honor to have the president in Syracuse, in New York 22. Woo! I'm an underdog. I'm a dark horse candidate. We are going to flip this seat, and we are going to take the midterms and retain the majority for our president.

[Inaudible]

We're going to fire John Mannion together. Thank you for the opportunity, sir.

Thank you, honey. Good job.

Thank you, Mr. President, for letting me come up here and speak again. I started today by making everybody say, thank you, President Trump. [Audience responds in kind] And I want to ask you if you could say something else to me really quick. President Trump came here and he spoke the truth. I told you, the Democrat Party is destroying New York State.

We need to elect Bruce Blakeman, we need to elect every Republican we can find. But President Trump brought an American icon here, a legend, one of my personal heroes, Mike Tyson. I want to say, we should all feel honored to have Mike Tyson with us. Can we all say thank you, Iron Mike Tyson? [Audience responds in kind]

Thank you. Good luck. Good luck.

Appreciate it.

Those two races are very close. You get out and vote. They're going to win easily. We want to reelect some real friends of mine, Claudia Tenney, who's great. She's great. And Nick Langworthy, great. Two people. But they're winning by so much I don't have to ask them to come up. Look at all those -- look at all those signs you have out there, Claudia.

That's pretty impressive. They're great. Thank you. Nick, thank you very much. Right from the beginning, these are two warriors. They've done an unbelievable job in Congress. We're also pleased to be joined as well by, and I just introduced him briefly, but he's the best anywhere in the world, the best in the business.

He's done an incredible job, Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright. Thank you, Chris. And also, sort of a legendary figure because he almost did it, he would have done it but I'm glad he didn't because I have him in Washington, the EPA administrator, one of the most powerful men in the country, because he's a difference between getting all of these factories and plants approved.

Somebody else would take 20 years, he takes two weeks. The great Lee Zeldin, an MVP candidate. He's a great guy, ran an unbelievable race. You did a great job, Lee, but you're doing an incredible job. You have no idea what an important position he's got and the job he's doing. It's incredible. Thank you, Lee.

I think a man who's going to be very happy on November 3rd, your GOP chair, Ed Cox, my friend for a long time. Thank you, Ed. And a sheriff who's respected all over the country as sort of a legendary sheriff, John Garcia, Erie County. Thank you, John. Thank you, John. Great, great reputation. And I think we have to call him up, right, Mike Tyson?

Will you get up here?

Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. Um, I'm just happy to be up here with my president, President Trump. And, um, there's no way in the world I would ever be here if it wasn't for a president like Donald Trump. Thank you. Thank you very much.

I don't want to fight him. Uh, I've watched him so many times get in the ring. He was a scary guy. I think he looks better today than he did 30 years ago, you want to -- you look good, Mike. What the hell are you doing, Mike? That's great. Thank you. A really great executive, somebody who's won the World Series.

He sort of won it all and had a little bit of an off play off the other day but that's OK, because he's won so much, it's not going to matter. It doesn't matter. The president of the New York Yankees, Randy Levine, he's incredible. Thank you, Randy. Incredible guy. And he's trying to straighten out now, along with Coach Saban and a couple of other people that he's working.

I never saw anything like it, how he's working, but trying to straighten out college football, bad ruling from a court. And they're going to get it done. But Randy, you're doing a great job. Thank you on behalf of everybody. You got to do it. Got to do it. And a man that I can't introduce enough is Tom Homan.

There's just nobody -- just nobody like him. [Audience chants "USA"] Wow. Well, he deserves it. He deserves it maybe more than anybody. He's been in the battle for years. And he said we've never done better -- look, we have a border that 0 in 17 months, zero. Think of it. And he's the first man that told me that thing I love, because it's so doable, that two percent of the people in a city like Washington, DC, which is now a totally safe city, it was a hellhole three years ago, but two percent of the people create 91 percent of the crime.

How easy is that, right? And he takes care of those two percent, don't you, Tom? Huh? He takes care. He takes care of them. Thank you, Tom. And some great people, great, talented, brilliant, tough people, Will Chesney and Clint Smith, Navy Seals, highly respected, everybody knows them. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, fellas. Great. Looking -- they look good. I want to look like that someday. I have to start working out immediately. And a veteran of Osama bin laden raid, a guy who everyone loves. You did a great job, Robert O'Neill. Robert, thank you very much. T Thank you, Robert, great job. Thank you. The fake news media is trying to demoralize Republican voters with bad journalism, rigged polls.

They don't stop. Terrible people. But as you can see here tonight, our movement, we have a strongest movement -- this is the strongest movement in the history of our country, probably it's the strongest movement in the history of the world because we won the popular vote. Think of this, we won the popular vote, we won the counties by 86, 87 percent.

We won everything. We won the Electoral College by a landslide. We won everything you can, all seven -- they said, well, if he wins three or four swing states, that would be great. We won all seven swing states. Nobody's ever done anything like it. And, you know, I saw a chart, because CNN is very unfriendly territory.

They're fake news. But this time I believe them 100 percent, because they did a chart, and I respect them for putting it up, but they did a very couple of important charts, and I'm going to just ask them to put up those charts for a second. OK. MAGA GOP on Trump. In the 2024 election versus Kamala Harris, he got 99 percent of the MAGA GOP vote.

Perhaps surprisingly, I might have thought it would be 100 percent, but it was 99 percent. Compare that to his approval rating now with the MAGA GOP, it's 98 percent. That is -- there's been no real decline in MAGA support.

[Begin video clip]

[Video clip] These folks say that they're going to vote for Congressional Republicans come the midterm elections. Again, that's the 99 percent that Trump got against Kamala Harris. Look, now, in terms of the Congressional vote, 98 percent of them say they're going to be voting for House Republican candidates.

[Video clip] So that support is actually really holding up strong. It's really, really strong when it comes to MAGA GOP and Republicans holding on to that vote. This one. OK, the President Republicans most admire, it's Donald Trump. This is a historic comparison a majority of Republicans say 53 percent say he's the Republican president they most admire.

[Video clip] Ronald Reagan, who traditionally has won that match Donald Trump nearly triples up on this Reagan at just 18 percent. And then Abraham Lincoln, who by most historic accounts is the greatest president of all time.

[End video clip]

But Republicans say that the president that they most admire by what is this, this, this six or seven times as many Donald John Trump at 53 percent.

[Begin video clip]

[Video clip] Easily crushing Abe Lincoln at 8 percent and the Elon poll showed that he was the greatest president as well, Donald J. Trump. I feel like this slide might end up on a printout on his desk.

[End video clip]

Thank you. Thank you. Wow, what an evening. I think I'm going to stay here tonight, maybe for the weekend. Anybody have a nice house that I could stay with? I'll stay. Be careful, I'll stay -- I'll say yes. Be careful. But here is what we will, in conclusion, do with your support for a Republican House and a Republican Senate on November 3rd. As I said, I will issue a Trump dividend of $5,000 to every adult citizen in America.

We will make all Trump tax cuts permanent, including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. We want to make it permanent because if I weren't here, they have the right to end that and we don't want them to earn it so we're going to make it permanent get it passed through Congress.

But you have it right now. We're going to get it passed through Congress. We will win the war on corruption and fraud, led by our great Vice President JD Vance. We will pass the No Invasion of our Country Act, prohibiting any future president from ever opening our borders to illegal immigrants again. We will pass a truly great health care plan that will stop all payments to big insurance companies which own the Dumocrats.

The insurance companies own the Dumocrats, and we will give the money directly to you, the people, so you can buy your own much better health care and have money left over. We will end no cash bail, and we will pass the death penalty for large-scale drug dealers, human traffickers and anyone who kills a police officer or a law enforcement professional.

And we will pass the Save America Act to defend our sacred American elections. That will include, of course, voter ID and proof of citizenship and it will take place soon. We will enshrine in permanent law no men in women's sports and no transgender mutilization of your children. So, ladies and gentlemen of New York and of Syracuse, and of wherever the hell you come from, the golden age of America is upon us. We're right now in the Golden Age.

There's never been anything like this. There's never been $21 trillion being invested in China or any other place this is a record many, many times over. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. So we're in the golden age of our country. But you have to get out to keep it and vote Republican, so important. We've already made unbelievable progress and now we will reach new levels of greatness.

It is my honor to be your President during such an exciting time. It is my great honor because 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 most importantly, we will make America great again.

Thank you Syracuse. Thank you, New York. God bless you. God bless you all thank you.
