Speech: Donald Trump Addresses a Midterm Political Rally in Mobile, Alabama - October 2, 2026

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. [Audience chants "USA"]

Wow. Thank you. Thank you very much. And I want to say a very special hello to a place called Mobile, Mobile, because -- I don't know if you know, it sort of all began here. We had a little hotel and the hotel called up. I was coming to speak and they called, they said, we can't take it, we're being inundated.

This is the first, you know, 10 -- he said, look, there's a convention center, go to the convention center. So we signed up for the convention -- and the convention center said, we can't take it, there's too many people. So I said, where the hell do we go? They sent us to a stadium someplace here, right?

You know that. And we packed the stadium, and the rest is history. It's just -- that's the way it was. But right here in Mobile. And a very, very special to the people of Alabama. We love Alabama. In fact, we love it so much I'll be here again next Saturday to watch a football game between Georgia and Alabama.

They say it's going to be a good game. I would think so. So let's see. One is rated number two, one's rated number seven, but that doesn't matter too much at this stage. So let's say will Alabama or Georgia win that game? I thought you'd say that. I thought you'd say that. But as you know, we all together -- working together.

It's been an amazing state. We won the state all three times, all three elections. And -- -- we had another very great distinction and that distinction is we got the highest vote total of any candidate in Alabama history. Now, explain -- well, we had -- I wouldn't say -- I wouldn't say Kamala and Joe were the toughest, but they were candidates.

But I'm here to say, really, more than anything else, I'm here because you have great elections, you have Tommy, you have all these guys, they're going to win but you got to still get out and vote, OK? You got to get out and vote. But, well, we have one new one that's coming, who I'm going to talk a little bit about, Mr. Marcus.

We got to get him in, because that's a new one. That's a new one. And I'm here -- where the hell are you, Marcus? He's around here someplace. Where are you? We're going to say hello to him. But you -- you're the only one a little close because it's new, it's fresh. It's brand-new and once you're in there for about two weeks, nobody's going to come close.

And I see you're doing great in the polls. We got to make sure. The rest of these guys are so high. The only reason I'm -- really, I'm here, like last night, I went to Texas where we won by a lot and then I went to Oklahoma and they say, why is he going to Texas? I'm going to help people win. And why is he going to Oklahoma?

We won 77 out of 77 counties, the only one that's done that ever in history. 77 out of 77. And you know who second was, Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon, 56. I had 77. So they said, why are you doing it? And I said, you know, I won it in a landslide, like we win here in a landslide with like 55, I think 55 points.

They said, why are you going to Alabama, why are you going to Oklahoma, why are you going to Texas? But, you know, especially in the last two and Texas because we have to win that race. Ken Paxton has to win. But here, you're going to win races. But in the case of Oklahoma and Alabama, I'm here to say hello, I love you and I'm coming, really, as a sign of respect.

True. True. They say, why aren't you going where there's some tight races, because Tuberville is so strong. And by the way, you have a Senate candidate who's my friend. He's so strong. He's winning all the way. But I'm here really, because, you know, sometimes, even though you don't have to come here, you got to pay respect to the people that have loved you right from the beginning.

Right? That's the way it is. So that's really the reason I'm here. I had to come here. And on top of it, I come next week to like too, to watch a football game, but I like football and I like that. That's big time. That's called big time college football and it looks like -- it looks like we're going to be passing something, hopefully we're going to pass -- The Senate just passed it, and we're going to pass something that brings sanity to college football.

So -- And you think that was easy, we haven't done it yet. The Senate passed it. Thank you to all of the Senators. And we had a lot of, uh, help, bipartisan help. Can you believe it? It's shocking. We were very honored by that. And now it goes back to the House and hopefully the House, uh, will pass. I think you get a lot of bipartisan vote there, too.

And Mike Johnson is a great speaker, and we'll get that one done and John Thune. Thank you, John Thune and Mike Johnson and Senator Cantwell, who has been really great. She's been great. She's on the other side, you know, but she's been great. But with your vote, 32 days from now, we're going to elect Tommy Tuberville as your next governor.

You know, Tommy was a great coach and when -- I didn't know him, I just knew him, Tuberville. I love the name Tuberville. But I knew of him. He was a great coach, but he had a problem. I said, he can't win. They said, why, he beat Alabama in football six years in a row or something. And I called him because I wanted to endorse him.

I heard a lot of good things and people wanted me to endorse. I said, I can't, he beat Alabama six years in a row. This guy can't win. And they said, speak to him. So I spoke to him and said, Tommy, look, I want to be with you and all, but you can't win because you beat Alabama six times in a row. He said, no, I'm the reason they got Nick Saban.

I said, you can win. Right? You remember you told me that? I'm the reason you got Nick Saban, not a bad coach, by the way. But Tommy was a great coach and he was a great Senator. He's going to be a fantastic governor and he's been my friend and he's a good golfer. Good golfer. A very good golfer, actually, but he's not as good as me. I got to get even.

You know, Tommy was interviewed and he said, did you ever see Trump get angry? Yeah, once when I beat him in golf and I called him, I said, you never beat me in golf. You remember that time? I remember -- I never forget. But he's going to be -- uh, he's a leader he's an amazing guy, respected so highly. I mean, honestly, I'm very, uh -- we miss him.

But the good news is Barry Moore is going to take his place and Barry Moore -- Barry Moore -- Barry Moore is going to be an incredible -- he's already respected all over the place. So Barry Moore is going to do a great job, so good luck. They're big shoes, right? They are big shoes. Those are two special guys.

Thank you. We're also going to send Brett Marcus and Jerry Carl to the House of Representatives. And across the state line in Florida, we're going to elect Byron Donalds as governor. He's great. He's been my friend for a long time. Byron has been my friend for a long time. He has my complete and total endorsement.

These people, they all do, but Byron has been our friend for a long time, and you're going to have a great relationship together. In this election, I'm asking you to pretend that I'm on the ballot. Here's what happens, when I'm not on the ballot, we don't do well. We have 44 percent or 48 percent less people.

When I'm on the ballot, we kill everybody. So just close your eyes and pretend I'm on the ballot. But in a way, I am on the ballot because we have to win. It's the most important midterm election we've ever had, because we have a lot of communists running, and they're going to be controlling the Dumocrat Party. [Audience boos]

The Dumocrats, no, their policy is so bad I came up -- I can't believe it took me nine years to come up with that one. That one's -- I don't know why, but it's very descriptive because their policy is so bad. The Dumocrats.  You take the E out, replace -- with a U. And the word dumb doesn't -- think of this, most people don't know -- dumb -- they all think they're dumb doesn't have a B. So, it's two letters, just a little switch, they're Dumocrats because their policy is so bad.

They're not happy about it either; they don't like it. They said, could you maybe not do that. But we're going to make it too big to rig, we're going to make it -- you know, Kamala, like two weeks ago, I'm watching her answering questions and she said, we're going to make our election too big to rig. She took my term.

They take -- they steal so much. And she got killed for that one, by the way. No, too big to rig is our term. We made it because the election was rigged in 2020. And, but I knew how well we did and everyone else did too. And I said, well, we're going to do it again, we're going to make it too big to rig and they're not going to be able.

And that's what we did, we had record numbers; we won all seven swing states. We won the -- we won the popular vote; we won every vote you could win. We did great and it was an honor to do it. And now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world. We are the hottest country anywhere in the world. But today, I'm bringing some good news to the people of Alabama because earlier, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, who is doing a fantastic job.

A lot better than Buttigieg. Remember Buttigieg? He'd drive his bike to work. He'd drive it -- he'd take a bike to work all the time, down the highway. Give me a break. [Laughter] But Sean Duffy helped break ground on the brand new I-10 corridor and bridge project connecting Mobile and Eastern Shore. All made possible by $3 billion in funding from the Trump administration.

And we were proud to do it. And this is the largest infrastructure project in the history of Alabama by far. So, Tommy, you're going to spend the money wisely; you're not going to have cost overruns. Please, not like the Fed building in Washington, where the head of the Federal Reserve, to do a little renovation, spent $3.5 billion.

Can you imagine? We could build a bridge for less than these couple of little buildings that they touched up. What a disgrace. And he's telling us about interest rates, this guy. But, Tommy, no overruns please, if you don't mind. You know all about that, right? It's a lot of money, $3 billion. Well, maybe I'll be happy; maybe they'll name the damn bridge after me and I'll be happy.

I'll be happy. Then I'll say you can have overruns, I don't care. Have some overruns. Then I'll say, have all the overruns you want, make it just absolutely -- make it the greatest bridge in the world. But you're going to, but you're going to. He's fantastic. The last time the radical Dumocrats had power, they gave you the worst inflation in American history, the highest energy prices in American history, the worst trade deficit in American history.

They allowed 25 million people to pour across our borders from all over the world. They came from all over the world. [Audience boos]

And just remember this, you remember the scene of 25 million people unchecked and unvetted pouring into our country. If they win the midterms, they will do everything possible to open up those borders and screw up our country and do it again. And we're not going to let that happen. And on -- well, we're just not going to let it happen.

It's such a big deal. I really believe -- and by the way, if you guys want to sit down, can you imagine? You know, it's an honor -- everybody, all these guys up front, they're loaded with cash. Sit down. [Laughter] We even have the front row Joes. They follow us. And we have the most incredible people, the beautiful women of North Carolina.

They've followed me to 312 rallies; can you believe it? Well, I think the front row Joes are at about 900. I mean, but they're totally crazy. But the beautiful women, North Carolina, they follow me all over and I say -- and they're happily married. Are you happily married or just married? They're happily married.

No. They're great, they've been so loyal and, like, really amazing. Very, very successful people, beautiful people and we appreciate it. [Audience member calls out "We love you"]

Thank you. Thank you. Look at them. I can always tell; they're always so prim and proper, so beautifully dressed and nice and beautiful. Thank you very much, we appreciate it. And thank you very much, front row Joes. I don't know how you always get front row seats, but -- [Audience member calls out "We love you"]

-- thank you, appreciate it. On November 3rd, we're going to tell the radical left Dumocrats that we have not forgotten the disasters they created and we're never going back. We're never going back to that hellhole that we lived in for four years, a laughingstock? We were a laughingstock. Less than two years ago, the -- I'll be nice -- Democrats handed us the Dark Age of America.

We quickly turned that into what's now called the Golden Age of America. This is the Golden Age of America. Tommy, you guys are taking over the Golden Age. This is a golden age. Our nation is doing better now than ever before. But the fake news media right back there -- oh, that's a lot of fake news. [Audience boos]

But the fake news media refuses to talk about our record-setting numbers, so I have to do it myself, and I do it. It was just announced that under Republican leadership, median income for hardworking Americans have soared to the highest level. Think of it, median income -- what's more important than that?

The highest level ever recorded. More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country. Think of that. They don't report this stuff. They keep talking about affordability. You know, it's a word that the Democrats gave. They created a tremendous problem, the worst inflation in history.

I took over and in my first news conference on January 21st, and it is a day after -- a day after that beautiful day we had and quite cold weather, the inauguration. A day later, I had a news conference and they said affordability. I said I just got here, what do they mean? They're phonies; they lie. We've done nothing but bring prices way down.

And when the war with Iran is over, which is going to be very soon -- number one, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, never have a nuclear weapon. Never, can't have a nuclear weapon -- because they're crazy. No, they're never going to have a nuclear weapon. And by the way, this should have been done by other presidents for years or another country.

You know, we always have to do the dirty work, but it should have been done for years and years. This has gone on now for 51 years, the bully of the Middle East. And they'll never have a nuclear weapon and as you can see, they have no navy, they have no air force, they have no radar, they have no anti-aircraft.

Their economy is down the tubes. They have -- one thing they really do have, it's called inflation. They have about 310 percent inflation and we'll see what happens. But as soon as -- it's going to end very soon, probably right after the election. But as soon as it does end, oil prices will come tumbling down.

But remember, before I even say that -- everybody knows -- everybody knows it. You know, we had the best numbers ever. Actually, we have better numbers now than we did before. The stock market's at an all-time high. 82 times during a short period of time, a year and a half, the stock market's hit all-time highs. 401(k)s, the highest in the history of our country by 40 percent.

But remember about the oil. You're paying a price, but boy, is that a small price than what it would be if these lunatics were allowed to have a nuclear weapon and used it on Mobile, Alabama Ok, not going to happen. And we've had tremendous support. We've really had great support. But you'll see the -- those come down.

Remember though, oil prices now are lower than they were under Biden, and Biden didn't do anything about nuclear weapons. He didn't do anything about anything. The guy was sleeping all the time. He couldn't do anything. Also, the poverty rate has just reached its lowest level in American history. Think of that.

So you have the best on the upside and the best -- the best poverty numbers in the history of our country. African American poverty, Hispanic American poverty, and Native American poverty rates are all at the lowest levels, meaning the best numbers ever recorded. And another stat -- and we have to tell you the stats because the fake news won't do it. You don't hear this stuff.

And these are right out of the book. These aren't Trump numbers. They're not your numbers. They're not any -- these are right smack out of the book. And if they weren't, I'll have breaking news tomorrow. He lied. He lied. I swear he lied. They go crazy. He's got -- Pinocchio -- they call me if I lie Pinocchio.

I don't lie. American exports -- listen to this, though, because remember when Barack Hussein Obama -- do you know Barack Hussein Obama? Did you ever hear of Barack -- [Audience boos]

Barack Hussein Obama said manufacturing will never come back to America. We're setting records in manufacturing. Listen to this -- Records. And when those plants and factories all over the country, thousands of them, $21 trillion being invested in our country, five times more than ever invested in any country before, they're building plants.

They're building factories. They're building medical facilities, all the big drug companies, pharmaceutical companies. There's never been anything like -- when they open in a year, year and a half from now, you'll see numbers like this country -- like no country has ever seen. But American exports are at their all-time high.

Think of it, exports. We send things out, people pay us. The American exports just hit the highest level by far that they've ever had or hit before, exports. And less than two years ago, our country was dead. Remember that? I told you the king of Saudi Arabia was talking to me. He said, you know, sir, just a short time ago, your country was dead.

The whole Middle East, the whole world was laughing at you, and now you have the hottest country anywhere in the world. We do. We have the hottest country in the world. And in four long years of the Crooked Joe Biden administration, they got less than $1 trillion of new -- much less of new investment. So, in four years, they got less, much less, about half that number, than 1 trillion.

So, at 1 trillion for four years, we've done $21 trillion in 15 months. Think of that. But you don't hear it from these phonies. You don't hear it from the fake news. They don't like it. I don't know what their problem is. You know, you think they'd love us. You'd think they'd like to have a strong country, strong military.

They don't like strong military. If I go in to build a battleship -- I said we want to build some battleships. We build them ourselves, right? I said we want to build -- the fake news goes crazy. Why? Why are they going crazy? They don't want to see us succeed. They tried to say -- when we blew out their navy, blew out their air force, when we knocked the hell out of Iran just a few months ago, the New York Times -- The New York Times and a lot of the fake news was saying that Iran was doing wonderfully.

They just lost their navy, their air force. They lost everything, including their leaders, by the way. They lost one set of leaders. Then they lost another set of leaders. Then they lost half of a third set. And they had a little runoff for who wants to be president, and there were no participants. Everyone said I don't. I don't want to be. And it's part of our problem.

I don't know who the hell to deal with. There's nobody to deal with. Nobody wants to be president. I say who do I speak to in Iran? They're not -- nobody around. Knock, knock, nobody home. [Laughter] But -- That war is going to be over soon one way or the other. One way or the other, it's going to end very soon, and probably right after the midterms.

But it's going to end very soon, and oil's going to come plummeting down lower -- I think maybe even lower than it was when I had it -- I was in Iowa making a speech, and I passed two gas stations. And I noticed -- I look at these crazy things. You know, in the old days, I didn't look so much. Once you become a politician, you tend to look, how much is gasoline at this moment in time. $1.95 and $1.85, right?

That was in Iowa, a beautiful place, Iowa, and it's amazing. But in Alabama, Mercedes Benz is investing $4 billion to expand its plant in a place called Tuscaloosa. Have you ever heard of it? Have you? Have you ever heard of Tuscaloosa, Tom? Look at Wesley. You know, Wesley was an All-American for four years.

The guy's a monster. Stand up, Wesley, I tell you what. All American, and he was 11 years in the NFL and he was an all pro. He was that good. You know, when I first met Katie, I saw this monster alongside of her. She's a beautiful, normal sized human being -- [Laughter] And this massive guy was next to her.

I said I don't want to have my picture taken next to him, but now I don't mind. He's great. What a great couple. Thank you. Thank you, Katie, for doing so -- thank you, Wesley. Thank you, great football player. US Steel is investing $475 million in its plant in Birmingham. You know that? Eli Lilly, great company, is investing $6 billion to create a brand new factory in Huntsville, and the steel company, ArcelorMittal, is investing $1.2 billion to build an advanced steel manufacturing facility to go along with the one they already have.

And they're incredible. What a great thing. And that doesn't include all the space stuff that I -- you know, I -- I -- in my first term, I created, I'm very proud of it, Space Force. We were way behind China and Russia, and now we're way ahead of both. We're ahead of everybody. And I put so much -- I put practically everything in Alabama, wouldn't you say, everything?

I think everything, Katie. I like Alabama. They had -- you got so many things space, nobody even knows what the hell's going on over here. But with Tommy's support, my administration also invested $30 billion to revitalize American shipbuilding. And we just opened a brand new facility to build US Navy submarines in Cherokee, Alabama, and we're now building brand new Coast Guard cutters right here in Mobile Bay.

And I could go -- honestly, they know I could go on for an hour saying all of the things that we've done to get you going, all the things that are happening in this area, but it gets boring after a while, right? Somebody is spending 200 million, somebody's spending 2 billion. Everyone starts to fall asleep.

But nobody has ever done for a state what I've done for Alabama, nobody has. So, I'm very proud. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So, our country is doing so well -- thank you very much --under Republican leadership that -- only I can make this promise. This is a big promise, but gonna happen.

Oh, the Democrats are going crazy. 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.  And remember, Republicans only can do it and Democrats -- the Democrats can't -- because we're taking in massive amounts of money through tariffs and record-setting economic success, like you're having here.

But the Dumocrat policies won't allow this to happen. In fact, it's the exact opposite. They want to raise your taxes substantially. They want to cut off everything that's good, all of the things that we've gotten you, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security for your seniors. You know, those three things, how pure is that?

We didn't get one Dumocrat vote, not one. We passed it only with Republicans. But if the Democrats win, you will have an economic depression, in my opinion, the likes of 1929. Not a good time. If the Republicans win, you will each have $5,000 in your pocket and economic success for our country, like we have never seen before.

And remember, just to sort of remind you, just recently, I gave all members of the United States military $1,776. It's already gone out. You've already spent the money. And everyone said that that couldn't be done. Now, there is a caveat to the $5,000. You have to spend it in the United States, OK? It's the only thing.

And, you know, in the $1,776, Katie, you saw that. You were there. So I said, I want to give something, a dividend to our soldiers, our great military. What a great -- we have the greatest -- how about the blockade? How do you think the blockade is doing? We call it a wall of steel. But some of these guys were -- Katie was there.

They put a statement on -- it was $1,775. So it was $1,775. I said, did anybody ever think that for $1 more you could be $1,776? That very special date. I said, can we afford for our soldiers, our great warriors, can we afford $1 more so we can -- they said, yes, sir, we can. I thought they were going to say that.

And we did $1,776. And by the way, by the way, everybody said that could never be done, but that was done and we did it quickly, Tommy. We did it quickly, we did it easily and everybody loved it. The Trump dividend is approximately $1 trillion, but we have a record-setting $21 trillion that's being invested in our country in just 15 months.

It's very handle-able. And when you spend it and recirculate it in our country, it cost us far less than it sounds. So we're going to do that, $5,000 for everybody if we win. We got to win. And yesterday, I also announced that we're sending refund checks for $500 to one million families who were overcharged by Obamacare.

For years, they were overcharged. They were ripped off by the worst health care and we -- we found it. They knew about it, they never chose to do it because it made their numbers look better but the choice in this election is very simple. And we sent out that money. We just sent it out, billions of dollars back to people.

Nobody knew it. We found it out. You know how we found it out? We were looking for fraud. We have found so much fraud. We don't want to let the Democrats come back. So you can vote for the radical left Democrat Communist to loot your wealth, raise your taxes by $5 trillion, is one of the biggest -- they want to give you the biggest tax increase in history, annihilate your borders, open them up, shut down Alabama steel plants and shipyards, mutilate your children, transgender -- transgender mutilization.

They call it the mutilization of your children. They should be ashamed of themselves. Have men like Wesley playing in women's sports. Wesley, how do you think you'd do in women's sports? I think it would be -- he'd survive. He would survive. That would be -- he wouldn't even know. Just, they'd be trying to tackle him, he would [Inaudible] no, he's not -- he's not scared, he's not worried.

And give 25 million illegal aliens amnesty. That's what they want to do; they want to give amnesty to everybody that came into our country illegally. Or you can defeat the Dumocrat Communistss and vote for more money in your pockets bigger paychecks for your families, lower taxes, less crime, more Alabama steel, and more Alabama shipyards, and amnesty for illegal aliens will not happen.

If you want to turn America into a poor, crime ridden communist third world nation, I suggest you vote for the Dumocrats. If you want to keep America the strongest, most successful nation the world has ever seen -- we are right now more respected than at any time in the history of our country. And that's with a bad press.

And if you want all of those great things that we just talked about, you have to vote Republican. You have to vote for these people. You have to vote for these people. So just think of what the Trump administration and our Republican majorities have accomplished in less than two years' time. Nobody's ever seen this before.

Nobody's ever done it. We have the most successful, it's not two years, it's substantially less, the most successful presidency in history. You know, my first term was very successful. We had the strongest economy in the history of our country, and that even included COVID, which Biden really screwed up at the end, but that was a curse on everybody.

The whole world was cursed with it. But we had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We were blowing it away. You'll see numbers coming out. We're blowing it away. 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.

And in the past 17 months -- it's hard to believe because millions, 25 million people poured into our country, but in the past 17 months, zero -- this is done -- this is done by, generally, they like to call themselves progressive. It's too beautiful a word. It doesn't -- they don't deserve it. It's a beautiful word, progressive.

They're actually anti-progressive. But these lists are done by people that tend left. I said, who does them, people who tend left. So zero illegal aliens have been admitted into the United States and done by -- think of it. It's hard to believe, actually. You know, they should say 200. They say zero. And a lot of people -- you know, most people don't even try anymore because they know they're not going to get through. 17 years, think of it, for -- we -- we've done things for so many years, it was so bad, then we straightened it out.

You know, I inherited bad borders twice. In 2016, the border was bad. In 2024, it was really bad. I fixed it once and then I fixed it again. And my all-time favorite chart, I looked over there, you know, that was a chart. Thank God I had that chart. I said, take a look at that chart. But that chart, it's my all-time favorite chart, I'll tell you.

But in two years, we achieved the largest drop in violent crime ever recorded, just came out. And the murder rate is at the lowest level in 125 years since the year 1900. And in Birmingham, Alabama, murders are down by 44 percent. But honestly -- -- they could be more. You know, 44 percent is great. In Washington, DC, murders are down by 91 percent.

In different places, you know, we've had governors like in Louisiana, great governor there, called. He said, would you help with New Orleans, because we have crime it's so bad and we have the Mardi Gras coming up? And Jeff Landry, who's a great guy, a good -- good governor, and he said, could you help? And we sent in the National Guard.

We sent in great supervision and -- and his crime is down 83 percent. He's never seen anything like it, and they had the best Mardi Gras they've ever had. And in other cities too -- down 70, 80, 90 percent. And by the way, drugs are way down, drugs coming in through the oceans and the seas and the Gulf of America.

I love the Gulf of America. That was a tricky one. No, I -- I like the president of Mexico. But I said, you know, it should be named the Gulf of America because we have 93.2 percent of the frontage and they have, like, 7 percent. And I really do -- she's a good woman, but I knew this wasn't going to be great.

But I did it. I called, and then Google picked it up and they said -- you know, the Google Maps are great. And it became -- with some little work, became the Gulf of America. I got a call from -- I got a call from my friend, she's my friend, the president of Mexico. She's got the most beautiful voice, beautiful woman, actually.

You're not allowed to say that. That's usually the end of a political career when you say -- shows you where politics has -- has gone. She's a beautiful woman. And typically, that's the end of your career, but I'll say it anyway -- [Laughter] And she's got the most beautiful voice. And she called me right -- like, two seconds.

We did the filing. They went we have a -- breaking news. The Gulf of Mexico is now called the Gulf of America, and I got a call. I got a call from the president, and I took the call. I didn't want to. I was thinking about maybe not taking it. And she went, President, President, no, no, no, no. President, please, please tell me it's not true.

I said, no, it is true. I'm sorry. [Laughter] I'm sorry. It's true. But at the urging of Senator Tuberville, we announced the offices of Fannie Mae, a $4.5 trillion company, will move from San Francisco, California to Birmingham, Alabama. That's a big one. And thanks to a Republican Congress, I signed the great big beautiful bill delivering the largest tax cuts in American history.

And as I said, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. And we did something else. If you go out and buy a car and you borrow money, which a lot of people do, and you have an interest payment to make, you were never allowed to deduct it. We're allowing you to deduct it against your income -- For income tax purposes, but only if the car is made in -- if it's made someplace else, only if it's made in America.

If it's made in any other country, forget it. It's called America First, right, Mr. Wall? Stand up, Mr. Wall. Look at this. Someday I'm going to get one of those suits, and I'm going to wear it. I don't -- think of it. I don't need the votes. I'm doing this -- you know, I'm doing this and I'm not running for anything.

But you're going to think of me as on the ballot, right? Everybody promise? Under my most favored nation agreements on drug prices, we achieved the largest reduction in prescription drug prices in the history of our country, with price differences of 300, 400, 500, 600 and even 700 percent. Nobody's ever heard of it before.

We had the highest prices in the world on drugs, and now favored nation, we have the lowest prices in the world on drugs. And I won't tell you how I did it because it's boring as hell. But I had to convince countries they had to do it, and they -- they did what I asked them to do. We abolished all discriminatory diversity, equity and inclusion policies throughout the federal government.

They're gone. We got critical race theory and transgender insanity out of our schools immediately. We halted all refugee admissions from Somalia, a beautiful place, and other dangerous places. They can't come in. We don't want Somalia here. People will say, oh, that's such a -- that's a horrible thing to say.

You know they have a 98 percent unemployment rate, but they're very good at ripping us off. Can you believe it, ripping us off? [Audience member calls out "Let them come"]

No, they can stay where they came from. We made English the official language of the United States of America. I delivered the largest ever investment in the United States Armed Forces, $1 trillion going to $1.5 trillion, all made in the USA. Thank you. We make the best equipment. We make the best equipment.

And you saw that in action in Venezuela, where we took over the country of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, in a period of 148 minutes. The press doesn't talk about that. And just as I promised you, and the -- Venezuela's been amazing. We've been working with them, and we're taking out billions and billions of dollars of oil, and we're going to be filling up very shortly our strategic reserves for nothing, nothing.

We're going to say that oil goes there -- Be amazing. And we have a great relation -- and the people of Venezuela are happy now because it was tremendous land, tremendous value, but it was -- you know, it was a different system. It was a system that they want you to go under, by the way. That's exactly what it was.

You know, years ago I used to say that we will never become a Venezuela, because Venezuela was a very prosperous country 22 years ago, very prosperous. And then it changed systems. It went to communists, like this guy running in Minnesota, who's now trying to be, like, a moderate. You know, one thing I said last night about politicians, when they come out with a statement about their views, like they're communists or they say things that are, like, really crazy, like the guy from Texas who's -- he's a vegan, but now he's eating food like a -- he's eating meat like a pig.

I mean, the guy's -- [Laughter] He's eating -- he goes to barbecues. He's a vegan. He wears a mask. He was wearing a mask three, four months ago before. Anybody wearing a mask in Texas four months ago, I don't think he's going to be too good. No, but he's a vegan, and all of a sudden he's going to barbecues.

But what they don't show you is that, after every barbecue, he walks to the back of a tent and he throws up all over the place. He's not going to be eating meat long. He likes lettuce. [Laughter] Give him a little piece of lettuce, he's happy. He's a little guy. And tonight, we have some breaking news that will deliver lower prices for every single American.

Earlier today, I spoke with members of the G7 nations, and I'm pleased to report that we have reached an agreement for Europe to release massive amounts of diesel fuel from their heavily stocked reserves, and that's starting immediately. Great. And the price of diesel is already coming down, but you'll see it come -- but you're going to see all this stuff really come down once we finish off Iran one way -- by the way, one way or the other, it's going to happen very quickly.

We achieved more in two years than almost any other presidency in the history of our country. And now the radical left Democrats want to come in, they want to burn it all down. We're so respected. They laughed at us. They laughed at us for four years. They laughed at us like we're a bunch of fools, but they're not laughing anymore.

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, and they voted against no tax on Social Security for our seniors. They voted against voter ID. Think of that. They voted against proof of citizenship. They voted against securing our border.

Let me ask you. So, why would anybody vote against voter ID? Because they want to cheat. Why would anybody vote against -- Why would anybody vote against proof of citizenship? Because they want to cheat. But they're good. You know, they're pretty good. They got the greatest line of crap. You know, they'll say we voted against it because it's racist.

How is it racist? We're trying to figure out, it's racist. How do you do -- everything's racist with them; you know, it's racist. Why did you vote against voter ID? It's racist. Oh, OK, let's see; let's figure that one out. These people are sick. They suffer from massive Trump derangement syndrome. Crazy, right?

They voted in favor of the transgender mutilation of your children. [Audience boos]

And that's what it is. They voted in favor of men in women's sports. They said we want -- we feel that men should play in women's sports. [Audience boos]

And I had a great quarterback introduce me the other day. He's a big fan of ours. And he's a great guy, Giants, you know who he is -- young, handsome, big, strong guy. And I asked him, I said -- he happened to get hurt, but he's going to be back very soon, you're great. I said, let me ask you a question, how do you feel about playing in women's sport?

This guy's a monster guy; he's a big, strong, beautiful, powerful guy. And he looked at me like what kind of a stupid question is that? Could you imagine, 20 years ago, having a politician say, we will stop men from playing in women's sports? People would look at the guy, say, is he crazy? 20 years ago, 15 years, I don't know, 10 years ago these people -- I hope they continue to promote that stuff because really, we should never, ever lose an election, it's crazy.

Other than the elections are rigged. No. And how about -- how about the other one? Worse, the transgender mutilation of your children. I say -- I'm a politician; I say it all the time and I say, I can't believe it. Can you imagine 15 years ago saying, we will stop the mutilation for transgender purposes of your children.

People would say this guy's a nut job. But I have to do it because it's really serious. And now they're going full-blown communist. They're going full-blown communist. And I love the guys also that're out there politicking -- gays for Palestine. How about that? [Laughter] I saw it today and I said, wait a minute -- gays for Palestine.

Do you know what they do to gay people in that part of the world? But they have gays for Palestine. They had a group of people, gays for Palestine. Let's send them over someday to negotiate. Let's see, you'll never see them again. You'll never see them again. I don't want to tell you what they do, but they do things that you wouldn't believe.

In state after state, the Dumocrat Party has nominated the most extreme anti-American candidates in history and that's why. Typically, you win a presidency and, whether you have a great president or not, Republican or Democrat, they don't do well in midterms. I don't know why, nobody's explained it. I believe we've had the greatest two years.

We're not -- up to two years. We have actually a pretty long way to go, months. But I believe we've had the greatest two years in the history of the -- nobody's done what we've done. Think of it. But typically, when you're a president, Republican or Democrat, you do poorly in the midterms and I don't know why.

I know why if you do a bad job; but look at the job we've done -- Venezuela; Iran, same thing, it's going to polls soon, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. And you know, they said he's in his sixth month. Vietnam lasted 21 years, right? Afghanistan lasted 18 years, thousands and thousands of people killed.

Now, I don't want one person killed. But in Venezuela, we lost not one person and we've taken billions of dollars of oil in. And in Iran, we've lost 18 incredible people. 18. And we've been there for a little more than six months and they said, he said he'd do it in two or three weeks. I did. But what I said is I would do they won't have nuclear, and I did that in one night, the B-2 bombers took them out, but -- And we could leave tomorrow, and it would take them years to rebuild from what we did to them because they just wouldn't -- they should have negotiated.

They played their cards. They played their cards too tough. But think of it, I said two or three weeks. They kill me, the fake news there. They say he said two weeks and now -- I say, well, no, I'm just -- we're cleaning up. We're staying there because I don't want another president in a number of years, who knows?

They might not be like me; they might let them get away. Like Obama paid them billions and billions of dollars to please -- they tried to bribe them. [Audience boos]

And Biden didn't have a clue, so it didn't matter what he did, he didn't have a clue. But no, we're doing a great job. We wiped out that. The B-2 bombers went in late at night, 1:00 in the morning, no moon. Every one of those bombs went down air shafts that were 30,000 feet below, the most incredible attack, and blew the hell out of their nuclear capacity.

So, on election night, Alabama is going to prove that America does not belong to those who hate it. America belongs to the people who love it. I got you.  [Audience chants "USA"]

Nobody can beat this country. Look at this country, it's wild. What great people. But right here in your state, Dumocrats are running radical -- a radical lunatic. I know him from the past, he's a loser, Doug Jones, who's trying to claw his way back after you already fired him. [Audience boos]

When Jones was in the Senate, he voted for open borders, sponsored legislation to push radical gender ideology and diversity, equity and inclusion in your schools and in your military. Alabama needs to elect a true winner for governor, and that winner happens to be coach Tommy Tuberville. And Tommy was the pivotal vote; he was the pivotal vote for the largest tax cuts in history.

He fought like hell in the Senate; he's respected by everybody in Washington and far beyond. The largest regulation cuts in history and the largest investment in border security in American history. So, Tommy, I'm going to ask you to come up for just a really quick little say hello. We've just got to make sure -- we've got to make sure you win.

We can't take any chance. We can't take any chances.

Thank you, Mr. President. The best president in my lifetime. And the best golfing president in my lifetime. He has won 40 club championships. I want you to think about that, 40 club championships. But I want to thank the president for coming tonight. He could have gone somewhere else, but as he said, he started his track for president of the United States here, what, 11 years ago? 11 years ago.

You've been supporters; we're all going to continue to be supporters, Mr. President, we're going to stay behind you 110 percent. God bless you very much.

Thank you, Tommy. I also want to call up two candidates for Congress who have my complete and total endorsement really quickly. Jerry Carl, get up here, Jerry, my friend for a long time. And Rhett Marcus, come up here -- second district. Come on up here, Rhett. [Audience chants "Jerry"]

My gosh, what an honor. Welcome, Mr. President, to Alabama. You have excited this room. You have excited the Republican base, and that's what it's about. We're a team effort here. We're going to win together November the 3rd.

Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you for coming to Alabama. Alabama loves President Trump. He loves Alabama. But we need each and everybody in this room to go out and vote, and get their neighbors, their family and their friends to go vote. We win if everybody in this state goes because we are a Republican state.

Thank you so much.

And for the United States Senate, that's a big one. We have a guy who's way ahead, but that means go and vote, Barry Moore. Come on up, Barry, real fast. Come on. He's way ahead but we got to get him home.

We all know, right? It started here 11 years ago, August 21st, 2015, Donald J. Trump running for president of the United States. I was there, many of you were there. And he is a winner. He is a man who loves his nation. He will not let us down. And on November 3rd, folks, we ain't going to let him down.

And I already said hello to Katie. Katie Britt is a great Senator and a great friend of mine and thank you. Thank you, Katie, great, great person, very talented person, respected by everybody in Washington. So also Representatives Robert Aderholt. I don't have to bring them up because they're leading by so much.

Just make sure they go out and vote, Robert, right? Dale Strong, another friend, Gary Palmer, Alabama House Majority Leader Paul Lee, all -- these are great people. And you know, when they're so far ahead, I say, I'm not going to waste a lot of time with you guys. Candidate for Lieutenant Governor John Wall, thank you.

Thank you. A candidate who's fantastic, by the way, for Attorney General, Catherine Robertson, who has my, by the way, complete and total endorsement, Catherine. You have my complete -- candidate for Agricultural Commissioner Corey Hill. Thank you, Corey. Thank you. Candidate for Secretary of State, Caroleene Dobson.

Thank you. Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency Bill Pulte, good friend of mine, great guy. Hi, Bill. RNC secretary, done a fantastic job because we won, Vicky Drummond. Thank you, Vicki. Thank you very much. And I hope Michael Whatley's going to win in North Carolina. He's great. He's a great guy there.

He was the former head of the party, and doing a great job. Not going to be an easy race but they should put him in. Alabama GOP Chair Scott Stadthagen. Thank you very much. Thank you, thank you. National committeeman Bill Harris, the mayor of Mobile, Spiro Cheriogotis. The Crimson -- I hear he's a great coach -- a Crimson Tide basketball coach Nate Oats.

I hear he's a hell of a coach. Thank you, Nate. Former Crimson Tide championship quarterback. This guy looks like he could play today, Jake Coker. Thank you, Jake, beautiful wife. Highly respected Mobile County sheriff. You know why he's highly respected, he's got no crime, Paul Birch. Thank you, Paul. Thank you, Paul, sheriff.

The president of a beautiful University of South Alabama. I was looking at the architecture. I said, somebody did a good job, I like that, Joe Bonner. Thank you, Joe. A great Republican strategist, a great person, a killer when she's angry at you. It's a very terrible situation, Laura Loomer. Thank you, Laura.

She's great. And with your support for a Republican House and Republican Senate on November 3rd, here is what we are all going to do very quickly, as I said, I will issue a Trump dividend of $5,000 to every adult citizen in America. It will happen. We will make all Trump tax cuts permanent, including the famous no tax on tips.

They want to end it, overtime and social security for our seniors. We will make it permanent. We will win the war on corruption and fraud that is right now being led by our great Vice President, JD Vance. He's doing a great job. 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. Right now, the government pays them billions, and those insurance companies, they own, they own the Dumocrat Party. They are owned -- I'll tell you what, you never saw anything like it. The Democrats, they pay them what they make, billions and billions of dollars.

And we're going to give the money directly to you instead of the insurance companies. You're going to buy your own health care, and you're going to have a lot of money left over. And we will end -- and this is where it all began, the crime, because we have the best crime numbers in history. It all began with this stupid no cash bail.

You kill somebody, you walk out, no cash bail, crazy. We will pass -- and this is so big, we will pass the death penalty for large-scale drug dealers, human traffickers and anyone who kills a police officer. And we will pass, and we're getting very close, we will pass the SAVE America Act to defend our sacred elections and it will include voter ID and proof of citizenship.

It will. And we will enshrine in permanent law, no men in women's sports, no transgender mutilization of your children, and many other things with -- really, they have something all in common. It's called common sense. But ladies and gentlemen of Alabama, the golden Age of America is upon us. We're in the Golden Age.

We've never had anything happen like this. We've never had anything happen. But you must get out and vote. And I'm talking about you but I'm also -- we have a lot of television back there and other places are watching and they have communists. You know, I don't think you have communists here. I don't think your guys are communists.

I don't think your Senate candidate is -- he's not any good. Your governor candidates not any good, he's a radical left guy, but he's not a -- but they have communists running all over our country and we will never be a Communist country. We're not going to be a communist. We're not going to elect these people.

But you must get out and vote for Republicans and all Trump candidates. And I'm talking to so many people in our country, because they're being told really bad things. They're being told about ideologies like they're great. They sound good, but in one year, it all collapses, the whole thing goes to hell, and you live in squalor, you live in fear, you live in death.

It's a terrible thing, and it's 100 percent. It's happened for 2,000 years with different names. We've already made unbelievable progress and now we will reach new levels of greatness. We're going to reach new levels. We're at the highest level we've ever been. It's my honor to be your president. I love Alabama.

I'm seeing you on Saturday night. And I just want to leave you with a few little phrases that you may have heard before. 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, Alabama. God bless you, Alabama. God bless you. God bless you.
