Speech: Donald Trump Holds a Midterm Political Rally in Dalton, Georgia - October 16, 2026

12:00 PM
Donald Trump 00:00:00-00:00:27 (28 sec)

[Audience chants "USA"] Well, I want to just -- I want to say a very big hello to a very, very special place. Hello, Georgia and hello, Dalton. We like Dalton a lot. Two years ago, I won this state with more votes than any presidential candidate or any political candidate in the history of Georgia. I'm very proud of that.

Donald Trump 00:00:27-00:00:48 (20 sec)

And 18 days from now, the people of Georgia are going to defeat your weak, arrogant, hate-filled, radical left Senator who is really -- I call him Pee-Wee Herman, Pee-Wee Herman. He looks like Pee-Wee. His name is Jon Ossoff, highly overrated. And we're going to send Mike Collins to the United States Senate.

Donald Trump 00:00:48-00:01:08 (20 sec)

And we're going to send a great friend of mine and an amazing, an amazing man, Rick Jackson, will be your next governor. Amazing, incredible. And we're going to elect a strong Republican House and they're all here right now. Look at these people, warriors, warriors, all my friends. We have a lot of victory.

Donald Trump 00:01:08-00:01:42 (34 sec)

In this election, I'm asking you to -- you have to pretend I'm on the ballot. OK, the story is this, we get 49 percent more vote when I'm on the ballot. When I'm not on the ballot, I guess it's a compliment, but people don't show up so much. So this is really, I think, the most important midterm election maybe we've ever had, because there's never been anything like what we've done.

Donald Trump 00:01:42-00:02:00 (18 sec)

And we can't have them take it away from us and from our country, because we've made America greater than we ever thought even possible. And it's going to go to lengths that you've never seen, but you have to go out and vote. You have to go out and vote. So pretend I'm on the ballot, get that 49 percent of the people.

Donald Trump 00:02:00-00:02:20 (19 sec)

And if you have the 49, you're going to have Rick, you're going to have Mike, you're going to have every one of these people and they're going to do a job for you because they love you and they love your state. Early voting in Georgia is already underway. Early voting is underway and continues through October 30th, so you really have to get out there.

Donald Trump 00:02:20-00:02:38 (18 sec)

And if you're voting by mail, make sure that you request your ballot by October 23rd and to find out how or where you have to go to vote, which I'd be surprised if anybody in this group, I mean, where do I go to vote, please help me. But if you do want to know that, swampthevoteusa.com. It's all very simple.

Donald Trump 00:02:38-00:03:03 (25 sec)

And in June of 2017, we had a candidate for Congress who was losing badly. I felt so badly for him. You know who it was, Ossoff. But he was losing very badly in the special election to a guy that looked like Pee-Wee Herman, and still does, in my opinion. I don't know. Somebody said, he's a good-looking man.

Donald Trump 00:03:03-00:03:33 (30 sec)

I don't think he's a good-looking man. I actually think Mike Collins is a good-looking man. And he's all man. He's all man. I'm not sure about Ossoff. And I actually think that Rick Jackson's a very handsome, distinguished, beautiful-looking guy. But anyway, so Ossoff was leading by a lot, and they called me in to help.

Donald Trump 00:03:33-00:04:03 (30 sec)

It was a special election. It was the only one. And I came in and I held a massive rally for the person, very nice woman, and we ended up beating Ossoff. So I beat him, and that was in 2017. I beat him once and now we're going to beat him, more importantly, a second time. And the woman won, very nice person, Karen, won 52 to 48 in the special election.

Donald Trump 00:04:03-00:04:25 (22 sec)

And it was a shocker at the time. Nobody could believe it because he had a massive lead. It actually started where he had a big lead, and there were about six or seven candidates, and he got 49.9. -- think of this, he got 49.9 percent of the vote. So he had to go into a special election. But he thought he was going to win that easily, and she beat him 52 to 48. It was pretty amazing.

Donald Trump 00:04:25-00:04:49 (24 sec)

And you know what, that was the best thing that happened to him. He lost and then he became a Senator. How the hell does that happen, Rick? But that's life, isn't it, huh? I didn't know I was helping him, actually. But we knocked his ass, and now he's going to do it again. We're going to beat -- we're going to beat -- you're going to have one of the -- You're going to have -- in my college, you're going to have one of the best Senators anywhere.

Donald Trump 00:04:49-00:05:17 (28 sec)

He's one of the most respected people in Washington. There's nobody more respected than Mike, with the job he's done as a Congressman. The Congressman will tell you. They're all here. And one of the most respected guys, and he is central casting. Stand up. Look at this. If I'm casting a movie for a Senator -- If I'm casting a movie for a Senator, I like the white hair, I like the big, strong build, big, strong guy, but that's what I want.

Donald Trump 00:05:17-00:05:35 (18 sec)

But he's a respected man. Then you had the election with Ossoff against David Perdue, a really good guy, Senator David Perdue, and it was a rigged election. You know that. And David actually won that election and he won it by a lot. You know, I sent David to China. You know where he is now, he's in China.

Donald Trump 00:05:35-00:05:55 (21 sec)

That's what you get when you lose an election. We send you to China. No, he's the ambassador to China and he's doing a fantastic job. President Xi was here last week, a head of China, the president of China, was amazing. But David's done a great job. But David won and I also won the election in Georgia. We won it by a lot.

Donald Trump 00:05:55-00:06:17 (22 sec)

If you remember, it was -- what a mess that was. And you see what happened in Fulton County with the ballots. You've been watching that disaster. What a crooked deal that was. The whole thing was crooked. But Ossoff lost that election, but they gave it to him because it was a rigged election. That's the only reason he became a Senator, he needed a rigged election.

Donald Trump 00:06:17-00:06:37 (19 sec)

And from the moment Jon Ossoff became your Senator, he partnered with the Crooked Joe Biden administration, Sleepy Joe, Crooked Joe, whatever the hell you want to call him. He was a terrible president, to demolish America's border and turn your beloved state into a dumping ground for the prisons and jails from all over the world.

Donald Trump 00:06:37-00:07:02 (25 sec)

They emptied their prisons into our country. And a lot of them came right here to Georgia. What a disgrace, open borders, the open border policy. And by the way, if the Dumocrats get in, they will do that immediately again. They'll open up your borders. You'll have people coming in from mental institutions, murderers with Ossoff's support for open borders, 25 million people poured into the United States totally unchecked and unvetted.

Donald Trump 00:07:02-00:07:38 (36 sec)

No checking, no vetting, they just walked right in. And many were very bad, hardened criminals. Ossoff helped the Dumocrats do it. And if they win in the midterms, they're going to do it again. You'll have open borders again. You'll have the transgender mutilation of your children again. Ossoff wants to pack the Supreme Court in order to open your borders, which are now the safest and most secure borders in the history of our country.

Donald Trump 00:07:38-00:07:52 (14 sec)

And he wants to pack the Supreme Court, very importantly, to do something that you're not going to be too happy with, he wants to take away your Second Amendment. He's going to take away your guns. [Audience boos]

Donald Trump 00:07:52-00:08:12 (20 sec)

He's always wanted that. You know what I've learned in politics, because believe it or not, I haven't been doing it that long. Some of these guys are in there a lot longer than me, right? Look. And they're Congressman, but I'm the president. But that's still pretty good. But they've been there a long time and they know what's happening.

Donald Trump 00:08:12-00:08:40 (28 sec)

They want to change the Supreme Court because they want to take away, among other things, they want to open borders, but they want to take away your Second Amendment. The proud people of Georgia will not let that happen because we will fight, fight, fight, and we will win, win, win a lot. Before Ossoff and the Dumocrats created open borders, the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua did not exist in the United States.

Donald Trump 00:08:40-00:09:07 (27 sec)

It didn't -- one of the most vicious gangs in the world, maybe the most vicious. They cut off the hand of a man in Colorado because he called the police, because they took over his apartment. Can you imagine, you own an apartment, they threw him out of his apartment. Then he called for the police and he cut off -- they cut off his hand.

Donald Trump 00:09:07-00:09:27 (21 sec)

They said, you do it again, we're going to cut off your arm. Other than that, they're extremely nice people. But using his power as a Senator, Ossoff and the Biden administration brought these complete animals and thugs into Georgia. They imported sadistic illegal alien gang members and cartel savages to plunder, rape, and kill right here in your state, two years ago, a beautiful -- I mean, such a story.

Donald Trump 00:09:27-00:09:53 (26 sec)

Such a horrible story. A beautiful 22-year-old nursing student named Laken Riley, was attacked on the campus of the University of Georgia and viciously assaulted and murdered by an illegal alien member of Tren de Aragua. You know the story very well. That monster was set loose by the cruel open border policies of Jon Ossoff.

Donald Trump 00:09:53-00:10:34 (41 sec)

He supported it. He wanted it. He wanted open borders. Who the hell wants open borders? And Laken Riley paid the price for his stupidity. On November 3rd, Georgia needs to throw open borders, Jon Ossoff, out of office and elect Mike Collins, get the illegal alien gang members out of the country. [Audience chants "USA"]

Donald Trump 00:10:34-00:11:04 (30 sec)

Well, wait, let's get a commitment from Mike Collins. Mike, you promise you're not going to have open borders? You are not going to have the transgender mutilization of their children? OK. You're not going to do all of the crazy things that they want to do. We will protect our Second Amendment, we will cut taxes, we will take care of our military, our vets, our soldiers, our everything.

Donald Trump 00:11:04-00:11:25 (21 sec)

Right? He'll do it all. You don't have to worry about him. Actually, he'll do more than we even want, like me. You know, I always said, promises made, promises kept. And the truth is, there was an article the other day in a -- actually, a rather hostile paper that's coming to our side because they're seeing it really works.

Donald Trump 00:11:25-00:11:43 (18 sec)

But they said, you know, Trump is the only guy, he made promises as a politician when he campaigned, and he fulfilled those promises, but much more, and that never happens in politics. That'll happen -- that'll happen with -- that's going to happen with Rick Jackson. That's going to happen. He's a great businessman.

Donald Trump 00:11:43-00:12:06 (22 sec)

That's going to happen with Rick. I really believe it. I've been watching you. You are good. And he never did this before. You know, he did it because he wants to straighten out things and he's an amazing -- an amazing story. But first, let's finish off with Ossoff, right, Rick, would that be OK? Then, don't worry, I'm going to talk about you because your story is crazy good.

Donald Trump 00:12:06-00:12:32 (27 sec)

Thank you, Rick, your next governor. So Ossoff voted in favor of deadly sanctuary cities like those that released Laken's killer into the streets. He voted in favor of amnesty for criminal illegal aliens, in favor of Biden migrant flights, bringing in illegals from all over the world. Do you remember when we had the border all clogged up and then we noticed airplanes flying over?

Donald Trump 00:12:32-00:12:52 (20 sec)

And we said, that's an unusual number of planes. Yeah, Biden was flying them in over the border. We stopped that too but it took us a few days to realize. When we looked up to the skies and it was a plane every 2.5 minutes over the head, we said, that's a strange looking sight. No, they flew him in. He voted against the border wall.

Donald Trump 00:12:52-00:13:39 (47 sec)

He voted four times in favor of catch and release. Can you imagine, catch -- we catch you and then we release you. What the hell good -- why do you -- why do you bother? Just release, just don't. Just leave them alone. Why do you do that? And Ossoff even voted to give taxpayer funded COVID relief. They gave checks and money and everything else to illegal aliens, while our great military veterans were laying in the streets freezing, or from the heat, or from the cold or from the -- and the illegal aliens would go and get the finest hotel rooms in the city in Atlanta and very many other places while our vets were staying, sweating and freezing, depending on the season, right in the middle of the street.

Donald Trump 00:13:39-00:14:06 (27 sec)

Thanks to Ossoff, we inherited the worst border in American history. But with Mike Collins' help, and all of these incredible people sitting right there working with Mike and me and everybody else, we turned it into the strongest border in the history of our country, right, fellas? The strongest by far and, you know, a number that's not even believable actually.

Donald Trump 00:14:06-00:14:31 (25 sec)

I wish they'd put down, like, 100 or 10 or 1,000 because it's not believable. But people that lean left do them. You know what lean left means? They lean toward insanity. No, these are left leaning people that do these statistics, and they just came out with the next statistic because we've been going month by month.

Donald Trump 00:14:31-00:14:56 (25 sec)

In the past 17 months, zero illegal aliens have been admitted into the United States through our southern border. Who would have thought? Right? Who would have thought that's possible? No, I really wish, you know, I wish I didn't have to say it because it's almost unbelievable, but that's the way it is. Zero in 17 months.

Donald Trump 00:14:56-00:15:32 (36 sec)

Remember, 25 million came in and now it's zero. So, actually, I'd like to say like 112 came in or 615 came in. So, 25 million came in and now we have zero. And the problem with zero, it's like not believable, but that's really the number -- zero people have come in through our border. Hard to believe. During the campaign, I promised Laken's family that I would deliver justice for Laken has an incredible family.

Donald Trump 00:15:32-00:15:57 (24 sec)

And on day one, I signed the Alien Enemies Act declaration to expel Tren de Aragua rather violently from our country. I also designated them a foreign terrorist organization, which meant, let's put it this way, I won't go into it -- it ain't good for them, right? It's not good for them, Mike. And you know who fought us hard on that?

Donald Trump 00:15:57-00:16:16 (19 sec)

Jon Ossoff? He didn't want us to call them a terrorist organization. He didn't want that. That was a designation that he felt was too tough. This -- how the hell did he ever get elected? Well, he didn't get elected; it was a rigged election. And we've sent many of those savage terrorists and gang members to a secure prison in El Salvador.

Donald Trump 00:16:16-00:16:40 (24 sec)

You ever see the prison in El Salvador? When we catch them, they said, no, El Salvador, no, no, we don't want to go to El Salvador. So, you know what they do? They don't commit crimes, that's what they do. So, they can never threaten Americans again when they're in that prison. That's a big deal, he does a hell of a job; that country has done a tremendous job, actually.

Donald Trump 00:16:40-00:17:08 (28 sec)

Earlier this year with Operation Absolute Resolve in Venezuela. So, how did we do in Venezuela? 48 hours that war was done, 48 hours. And I'm actually being nice because it's 48 hours -- I want to say that, but it's actually the real number is like 48 or 49 minutes, the war was over. And they have a strong military, too.

Donald Trump 00:17:08-00:17:25 (17 sec)

But we hit them; you know the words fire and fury. We hit them with fire and fury; they didn't know what the hell happened. They were all set; they were watching those planes coming off the aircraft carrier at 12:00. Dead black, dead dark, no moon, no nothing, but they saw those planes pouring off through the radar.

Donald Trump 00:17:25-00:17:55 (30 sec)

They saw the flames coming out of the planes. You know, you think it's dead black, but when you see fire pouring out of airplanes all over the place, you say, we've got problems. And then those planes were fairly quickly ashore and they got hit like -- no military, they say, has ever seen -- a Venezuelan general, a great general they say, he said, we were all set to take them on and then they started coming and we never had a chance, we ran for the hills.

Donald Trump 00:17:55-00:18:26 (32 sec)

They ran for the hills. And we're doing just as well in Iran. That will be over very, very soon and they will never have a nuclear weapon. Yes, they will never have a nuclear weapon. [Audience chants "USA"]

Donald Trump 00:18:26-00:18:43 (16 sec)

So, you have to understand the country was doing so well, it's never done better. Although I must tell you, the stock market is much higher now than when we first went after Iran. But I was in Iowa, I've told this story, I was in Iowa making a speech and driving down the highway, getting ready to speak and big crowds just like this.

Donald Trump 00:18:43-00:19:08 (25 sec)

We have big crowds all over. These rallies have been unbelievable -- unbelievable. You know, like two days' notice, we're going to go to Georgia. The place is packed. Outside you have thousands of people can't even get in. But -- thank you. But so, I'm in Iowa and, you know, unlike Biden and Obama and these guys, they don't look at gas pumps, but I do and I'm looking at the price.

Donald Trump 00:19:08-00:19:30 (23 sec)

And the price just before -- the day before we went in, started bombing the hell out of them. The day before, gasoline was $1.95 a gallon and $1.85. two stations I looked at. So, we're at $1.85 in Iowa, and that was going to be that way but that was probably a little bit on the low side, but it was going to be that way all over the country.

Donald Trump 00:19:30-00:19:53 (22 sec)

And then I called Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick and Pete Hegseth and General Razin Caine and some of the others. I called them in, and Jamieson Greer is fantastic. I called them in and I said, fellas, I hate to do this, we're at an all-time high, we're going at full speed on 12 cylinders, every cylinder working perfectly.

Donald Trump 00:19:53-00:20:17 (24 sec)

But we've got to stop; we've got to do a little excursion down to a republic, it's called the Islamic Republic of Iran. We're going to take a little detour, and we've got to go down there and bomb the hell out of them. I hate to do it. We just hit -- we just hit an all-time high, but they were two weeks away from having a nuclear weapon.

Donald Trump 00:20:17-00:20:36 (19 sec)

I said we can't let that happen, because they would use the nuclear -- they'd blow up Israel, they'd blow up the Middle East. They'd blow up the entire Middle East. Look, they turned on all these countries that were thought of neutral, if anything friendly, they were bombing the hell out of them. If they had nuclear, they would have used the nuclear instead of the regular bombs.

Donald Trump 00:20:36-00:20:54 (18 sec)

And then they would have turned on Europe, and they would have turned on us. They're crazy. So, what happened is I said, everything's going great. It's like everything's so perfect. All I had to do is go to sleep, relax for a couple of nights, sleep, sleep, sleep as opposed to yesterday you probably read -- people are impressed, I'm not impressed.

Donald Trump 00:20:54-00:21:17 (23 sec)

To me, it's just -- but I got in. They said sir, it's 4:48. He goes, what does that mean? I'm walking through the door of the White House. It's actually very -- it's a very cool place, Rick, I have to tell you. So, I'm walking in at 4:00 in the morning, 4:48, to be exact, and there's a handsome soldier like all these guys.

Donald Trump 00:21:17-00:21:46 (29 sec)

You know, we're on the merit system now, we won in the Supreme Court. Everything's based on merit. So, we're allowed to have big, strong, handsome soldiers now. We want strong soldiers. We want soldiers that can fight anyway. So, there's a couple of soldiers and they go 4:48, president has arrived. I said that's the coolest thing I've ever heard.

Donald Trump 00:21:46-00:22:04 (18 sec)

They never did that when I walk into Trump Tower. They never did that when I walk into Mar a Lago they don't do it. And these guys are Central Casting; you couldn't hire guys that look this good and they love it. So, I said, what is 4:48? It's the time of the hour, sir. I said I've never heard this before.

Donald Trump 00:22:04-00:22:24 (20 sec)

He said, well, we do that when it's very late in the evening to let everyone know you're here, sir. I said that's the coolest thing I've ever heard. See, there are some reasons to be president. I wouldn't say that's the top, but it's pretty nice. And these people are amazing. But you know, we did, we won merit.

Donald Trump 00:22:24-00:22:55 (31 sec)

You know, we have a country now, like in the old days, that's based on merit. It's based on who has the best marks to get into college and who has the best boards and who has the best of everything. You don't have people getting in with a C and low boards, and a guy with A pluses all the way up and down the line, and 1,600 on their college boards and all of the other things, and they don't even have a chance of getting in. Everything now is based on merit, the military, jobs, college.

Donald Trump 00:22:55-00:23:22 (27 sec)

Who thought -- I tell you what, I have my difficulties with the Supreme Court, I'll be honest with you, but I really think that was a tremendously brave decision that they made. And I was a little surprised -- I was very pleasantly surprised, our country is now based on merit, and I never thought I'd be able to say.

Donald Trump 00:23:22-00:23:46 (25 sec)

I think it's one of the biggest things. So, in June, the US military also carried out a precision strike to terminate a terrorist leader of the Tren de Aragua gang, extinguishing that vile monster from the face of the earth. We worked very closely with the government of Venezuela, which we now get away with, that it's incredible, actually, the relationship that we have with -- well, we, you know, we did win the war.

Donald Trump 00:23:46-00:24:14 (28 sec)

So somebody said, well, why do you -- why do you have this relationship with Venezuela? Why are they treating you -- because we won the war, that's why. When did you hear it last? When did you -- did you ever hear the expression, to the victor belong the spoils, right? We never used that. We used to go in, bomb people and then leave.

Donald Trump 00:24:14-00:24:42 (28 sec)

You know, what the hell? We -- we destroyed lives. It cost us a fortune. Destroyed lives all over the place, and we left. What -- what are we doing? What are we doing? So well, Venezuela, we paid for that war many, many, many times over and that was just a little while ago. We're taking out billions and billions and billions of dollars' worth of oil.

Donald Trump 00:24:42-00:26:20 (99 sec)

And when you add that oil to the United States oil, we are probably about 60 percent of the world's oil is what we can -- nobody's ever seen anything like it. Because Venezuela has a lot of oil and gold and diamonds, and they got a lot of everything. [Audience chants "USA"]

Donald Trump 00:26:20-00:26:49 (29 sec)

Well, you know, they're paid protesters. So we had two or three of them and tomorrow's story -- look at all the fake news. That's a lot of fake news, Rick. That's a lot. Wow. And tomorrow's story will be, oh, they had protesters. It's like two paid protesters. But you know what I -- first of all, their mother and father are watching, and they're going to smack those kids around when they get home tonight, because they both voted for Trump.

Donald Trump 00:26:49-00:27:13 (24 sec)

They voted for Trump. Everybody voted for us. Who's the -- who's the young lady in the yellow cape? Did you see her? Where is the yellow cape person? She went up -- did you see her? The hell with the women's sports stuff. I mean, I wouldn't want to take -- she went up there, ripped them out of their seats and threw them the hell out of here.

Donald Trump 00:27:13-00:27:38 (25 sec)

Where's the woman with the yellow cape? Man, she was great. We're going to bring her to Washington. I love it. Boy, oh, boy, that's -- that's incredible. She did -- I don't know if anybody saw that. First of all, the two people are like nothing, but -- but they're from Atlanta. No, but they get paid. You know, they get paid a couple of bucks and they do that.

Donald Trump 00:27:38-00:27:55 (17 sec)

It's ridiculous. They -- and they screw up their reputation. They get booked. You know, because we book them. You got to do it, otherwise you'd have it -- we book them. So now for a couple of bucks, they got, I think $250 each. Now for a couple of hundred bucks they've screwed up their reputation for the rest of their lives.

Donald Trump 00:27:55-00:28:19 (25 sec)

It's sad, isn't it? But I love the woman with the yellow cape. She was right on there. She's pushing them around, slapping the guy around. Far left loser Jon Ossoff -- see, now he probably paid them. The guy's a loser. And I beat him once, and I told you, I went through the whole story, but I'm telling you, we're going to beat him again.

Donald Trump 00:28:19-00:28:37 (17 sec)

He -- he does not represent your values and he never won the election. He was in there as an imposter. Would you call him an imposter? I would. I don't care. They say, oh, that's such a horrible thing to say. That guy never won the election. It was a rigged deal. So he voted for every single Biden disaster that gave you the highest inflation in American history.

Donald Trump 00:28:37-00:29:02 (26 sec)

You know, when they talk about affordability, yeah, it's a word they made up, affordability. Well, they're the ones that caused the affordability. When I came in, it was January 20th, I came in and on January 21st I had a news conference, and some of those same people were at the news conference and they were screaming at me. I was only there for less than one day, substantially less than one day.

Donald Trump 00:29:02-00:29:19 (17 sec)

And I'm having a news conference. I thought it would be a victorious conference. I thought the fake news would be saying, oh, sir, what a great race you ran, you won every single swing state, you won 87 percent of the counties, you won the popular vote, you won the Electoral College in a massive landslide.

Donald Trump 00:29:19-00:29:49 (29 sec)

I thought the press would say, congratulations on a great run. No. No, my first news conference, January 21st. So I take office on the 20th. I figure maybe I won't have a news conference [Inaudible] so the next day I have a news conference and I'm waiting for accolades from the press. And they said, what about the cost of eggs?

Donald Trump 00:29:49-00:30:08 (19 sec)

What about the cost of beef? Boeuf, you know what boeuf is, expensive beef. That's the only difference. They charge more money if you call it boeuf when you go to a French restaurant, it's boeuf would you like boeuf or beef? What's the difference? They're the same thing. The boeuf costs a lot more, double the price.

Donald Trump 00:30:08-00:30:30 (22 sec)

A lot of people say, I'll take it. Those are stupid people, but they say, I'll take it. But they said to me, sir, eggs are four times more expensive than they were in your administration. That's four years ago. I said, good, is that -- that's a compliment, right? What about it -- when are you going to get the price of eggs down, sir?

Donald Trump 00:30:30-00:30:55 (25 sec)

Prices are going up and inflation is through the roof. I said, wait a minute, I'm here less than a day. And then they hit me with the word, they said, affordability, affordability. In other words, like it was my fault. I just got there. And they've been hitting me with that word for the last year, every time something's a little high.

Donald Trump 00:30:55-00:31:18 (23 sec)

And you know what's funny with the gasoline, so gasoline and oil is -- we got rid of the -- Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon, they'll never get a nuclear weapon. Their navy's gone, their military's gone, their air force is totally wiped out. 289 planes lying all over the runways. You know, their planes are lying in tiny, little pieces all over the runways of Iran.

Donald Trump 00:31:18-00:31:54 (36 sec)

They're 100 -- they have 159 ship Navy. That was a big navy. But within three days, it went from 159 ships that were floating to 159 ships that were at the bottom of the sea. No more radar, no more anti-aircraft, nothing. No more leaders, I mean, actually. I might have gone too far with the leaders because I have nobody to talk to. Their first leaders are gone.

Donald Trump 00:31:54-00:32:14 (20 sec)

Their second level of leaders is gone. Part of their third level -- and then I said, fellas, I got to speak to somebody, what are you doing? You got to take it easy. People are saying, who's the president? You know, in Iran, it's the only country where nobody wants to be president. They have, all right, let's go. We hear everything they're doing.

Donald Trump 00:32:14-00:32:40 (26 sec)

We hear everything they say. This is classified, we hear everything they say, OK? I just unclassified it. But all right, let's go, who wants to be president, everybody? Who wants to be -- Mohammed, what about you, Mohamed? Mohamed, Mohamed, Mohamed, everybody's basic- -- you know, if you're in doubt about somebody's name from the Middle East, just say, Mohammed, you got about a 65 percent chance.

Donald Trump 00:32:40-00:33:10 (29 sec)

Hello, Mohammed. I've done it for years now. I've never been wrong. But -- so we say, uh, who wants to be president? No. No, no, you, Mohammed, you'd be a great -- I don't want to be -- just leave me alone. So anyway, so we promised we won't do too much, but we're in very strong position -- oh, and then people like the New York Times would write, Iran is doing extremely well.

Donald Trump 00:33:10-00:33:34 (24 sec)

Their Navy's gone, their air force is gone, the military's gone. They have 301 percent inflation. They have no money. They have no anything. Actually, the only thing they are setting records on is inflation. The best thing they have going is they have the highest inflation anywhere in the world. And I read in The New York Times that Iran is doing extremely well.

Donald Trump 00:33:34-00:33:53 (20 sec)

Fake news is all over the place, it's sad. That's why the New York Times is failing; that's why other outlets are failing. And the conservative outlets are doing very well, because all we want is the truth. All we want is the truth. But Ossoff and the radical left Democrats handed us the Dark Age of America.

Donald Trump 00:33:53-00:34:21 (28 sec)

But we quickly turned it into what it is right now. You know what it is right now? The Golden Age of America. And this has been considered by, I think, almost everyone to be the most successful two years -- and we're not even close to the two years; we've got four months to go -- of a president in history.

Donald Trump 00:34:21-00:34:45 (24 sec)

It's the most successful two years of a presidency. I mean, add Venezuela, add Greenland. How do you like the deal I made on Greenland, Rick? Ricks a great -- Got it for nothing. No, but we're working with Denmark. We're working with Europe. Very nice the way it worked out. Remember, everyone said he's going to attack Greenland.

Donald Trump 00:34:45-00:35:15 (31 sec)

No, I'm not. But they called. I was very upset, and they knew I was upset, and they also knew I was right. And we just made a deal for Greenland. A lot of people don't know that. You know, they don't like to cover things like that. They like to cover -- if you're not going to make a deal, they cover it, but they -- when you make the deal, they just sort of want to keep it quiet.

Donald Trump 00:35:15-00:35:27 (12 sec)

No, it's probably the greatest real estate deal ever made. Although I think Venezuela is pretty good, too, if you want to know the truth. I think Rick would take Venezuela, right, Rick? Rick is he's a very good businessman; I think he's going to take Venezuela. The highest stock markets that we've ever had.

Donald Trump 00:35:27-00:35:52 (25 sec)

And we had -- listen, we had 87 out of short period, much less than two years -- 87 times we had the highest stock market in history. And your 401(k)s are the highest -- some of them are up $50,000, $60,000, $70,000, more money than you ever thought possible. And I tell the story of a policeman who was in New York, and he came over to me, he was like six foot six, handsome guy.

Donald Trump 00:35:52-00:36:15 (23 sec)

He said sir, I'd like to thank you. Why? 401(k). I said how you doing with it. He said, doing with it, it's like double. He said my whole life my wife had thought I was a financial moron. Everything I invested in, I lost money. But since you came to office, my 401(k) has more than doubled. I've made a lot of money.

Donald Trump 00:36:15-00:36:37 (22 sec)

For me a lot of money, sir, more money. And now my wife thinks I'm a brilliant person. I said, what are you going to do with the wife now that you made all this money? He said, well, I'm going to keep her, but I feel a lot more secure in my relationship. But he was almost crying. He was -- actually, he said, the first time in my life I've made a fortune and I didn't do anything.

Donald Trump 00:36:37-00:36:56 (19 sec)

He goes, I didn't do anything, I just have a 401(k), it's doubled. And all of -- who has a 401(k) right here? Wow, yeah, I mean, you know, they say the stock market doesn't mean anything. Well, you know, the stock market means 401(k)s, means a lot of other things, it means jobs. So, we have the highest stock market in history, and this is with the war.

Donald Trump 00:36:56-00:37:21 (25 sec)

But it's not, it's just -- it's a military exercise, OK. It's a military exercise. And how good is our Navy with the blockade? How good is that? Not one Iranian ship has been able to get through. But our nation is doing better now than it's ever done before. The real facts are our country is more successful now than it's ever been, and it's more respected than it's ever been.

Donald Trump 00:37:21-00:37:43 (21 sec)

But the fake news media refuses to talk about our record-setting numbers. So, if you don't mind, I will mention just a few, because if I don't do it, nobody else will other than perhaps Rick and Mike and these great Congress people. And I see Beach, where's Beach, our treasurer, how he's the treasurer of the United States Brandon Beach.

Donald Trump 00:37:43-00:38:12 (30 sec)

Brandon, stand up. How are our numbers doing in the country? Can't even believe it. I made him treasurer two years ago and I said -- because he's great. He was a state Senator, right? Oh, he's got the coin. He made a coin, Trump -- he was very popular with the Democrats. He made a coin, Trump -- he made a dollar coin with Trump's picture on it. Oh, that went over big with Schumer and these guys, didn't it? With Hakeem.

Donald Trump 00:38:12-00:38:36 (23 sec)

Hakeem thrilled. Send some to Hakeem and to Sch- -- send some to Schumer, he'll be thrilled. But he's been great. But our finances have, like, never been better, right? Yeah, he's doing a great job by the way, great Georgia person. It was just announced that under Republican leadership, incomes for hard working Americans have soared to the highest level ever recorded.

Donald Trump 00:38:36-00:39:01 (25 sec)

OK, so, we're going to go through just a few little stats, and then I'm going to leave the dais because I don't have to do anymore. Because they're so big that I don't have to stand up here -- hot as hell, by the way. [Laughter] So, we have the biggest individual income in the history of our country. Then we have the second point -- these are little talking points that the fake news refuses to say.

Donald Trump 00:39:01-00:39:22 (22 sec)

Every time I start talking about them, I see the red lights go off. You know, they turn -- we're going to commercial now; we'll be back in just a minute. But the second point, more Americans are working today than at any time by far in the history of our country. Can you imagine it? Great talking points.

Donald Trump 00:39:22-00:39:43 (21 sec)

So, we've got more Americans working, we've got the highest individual income that we've ever had in our country by far. And then here's the next one, the poverty rate -- the poverty rate has just reached its lowest level, in other words, the best level for people in poverty, the best level in American history.

Donald Trump 00:39:43-00:40:12 (29 sec)

In other words, so the poverty rate is the best, the income level is the best. More people -- more people are working in our country right now, by far, and that's before all these factories that are being built. We're building more factories than at any time in the history of our country, car plants. We're building numbers that the -- I will tell you, the pharmaceutical companies are building hundreds of billions of dollars.

Donald Trump 00:40:12-00:40:37 (26 sec)

Eli Lilly, Pfizer, Merck, they're building them all over. They're building a lot right here, by the way, in your state. African American poverty, Hispanic American poverty, Native American poverty and the rates are at their lowest levels ever recorded, the lowest levels in the history of our country. And here's one that I love.

Donald Trump 00:40:37-00:40:58 (21 sec)

Here's one -- and these, by the way, these are not Trump numbers, these are government. I didn't make these up last night at 3:00. Well, let's see, how are we doing, Bob? Like the Dumocrats do. Exports -- so, if you remember Barack Hussein, do you remember a guy named Barack Hussein Obama, a terrible president. [Audience boos]

Donald Trump 00:40:58-00:41:19 (21 sec)

A terrible president, I call him the divider in chief, right? Divider. He divided our country. Barack Hussein Obama said you'll never have manufacturing in our country. Remember that? Very, very sad. He also said you can have your own doctor. How did that work out? Nobody's seen their doctor. In fact, a couple of people saw their doctor recently after about a 20-year miss.

Donald Trump 00:41:19-00:41:39 (19 sec)

No, they saw their doctor and the doctor had aged. They didn't even recognize him. You can't have your own doctor. They lied to you so badly. But he said you'd never have manufacturing. And yet, this stat came out this morning, exports have soared -- exports, in other words, we make something and we sell it to another country.

Donald Trump 00:41:39-00:42:02 (24 sec)

We change the thing around to the highest level -- exports to the highest level in American history. That means we're making product and selling it. That's called Making America Great Again. That's called Making America Great Again. And for decades, blue collar workers in Georgia were betrayed by corrupt, heartless, globalist politicians like Ossoff.

Donald Trump 00:42:02-00:42:28 (26 sec)

Look, I've been in Washington for actually a long time. I won the first election by a landslide. I won the second election by a landslide, but I didn't get credit. And then I said, too big to rig, did you see where Kamala copied that? I heard Kamala say, we have to make the election too big to rig. I said I can't believe she copied my phrase.

Donald Trump 00:42:28-00:42:51 (23 sec)

She got -- by the way, she got killed by that, even by the Democrats. But we made the election too big to rig, and we won in a massive landslide. But think of this, we're in the carpet capital of the world, and you're doing better than you've ever done. You've done better than you've ever done. But -- so, I want to wrap up this speech; I'll be finished now.

Donald Trump 00:42:51-00:43:05 (13 sec)

In fact, I'm going to finish because you just heard best individual income numbers ever, best individual poverty -- in other words, the poverty higher than they've ever been before by a lot, by a record amount, right? More people working in this country than ever before. More things are exported, manufactured and sold than ever before.

Donald Trump 00:43:05-00:43:34 (29 sec)

And we have about 10 other things. But I feel I don't have to stand up here any longer and talk to you. I'm leaving. Goodbye, Georgia. I'm only kidding. No, but I could. Rick, wouldn't that have been a great time to cut off the speech. We have more people working than ever before. How the hell can I improve on those?

Donald Trump 00:43:34-00:44:01 (28 sec)

But we can keep going. This year alone, we've created 70,000 manufacturing jobs and 50,000 construction jobs. And next year those numbers will be doubled, more than doubled, and a lot of them are right here in Georgia. And under Crooked Joe Biden -- and he was a crooked -- oh, did you see what came out today about Joe Biden with his son and Ukraine?

Donald Trump 00:44:01-00:44:22 (21 sec)

Remember they put him in charge of an energy company in Ukraine? And they asked him, do you know anything about energy, he had no idea what they -- what the word meant. And they paid him millions of dollars and millions -- but it turned out to be much worse than that. And if the fake news reports that -- I won't bother reporting it, but they got them cold.

Donald Trump 00:44:22-00:44:46 (24 sec)

They got them cold. What they did was really bad. They got them cold. So, you go home and -- You'll probably have a hard time finding this story because they only report about us. Under Sleepy Joe Biden and Jon Ossoff, factory workers saw their wages fall by nearly $1,900. Under President Trump and Republican, wages for factory workers are up to $5,000 more.

Donald Trump 00:44:46-00:45:09 (23 sec)

So, you had a $2,000 loss. You had a $5,000 -- that's $7,000. I've only been here for, like, 19 months. No, that's -- can you believe it? Less than two years ago, our country was dead. Now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world. [Audience chants "USA"]

Donald Trump 00:45:09-00:46:27 (78 sec)

So, that statement was true. The king of Saudi Arabia, when I was over there, said a short time ago you had -- you were a laughingstock, meaning our country was a laughingstock all the way. All the way around the world, everybody was laughing at the USA, he said. And in a very short period of time, you made it the hottest country.

Donald Trump 00:46:27-00:46:45 (18 sec)

This is the hottest country anywhere in the world. We're the strongest. We have the best military. You know, I built our military. He gave a lot of it away to Ukraine. But we've rebuilt it pretty much now, and soon it'll be completely rebuilt, gave a lot of it away. Could have charged them. They would have paid.

Donald Trump 00:46:45-00:47:09 (24 sec)

You'd just sell it to Europe. You know what I'd do? I'd sell it to Europe and they can do whatever they want. They can have fun. But they pay us hundreds of billions of dollars. Biden gave $350 billion worth of equipment and cash to Ukraine. Not good, not good, not good, and you got -- right now you got millions of dead soldiers.

Donald Trump 00:47:09-00:47:45 (35 sec)

They're averaging 25,000 a week. Last -- last month they had 32,000. This month they had 25,000, averaging about 25,000 dead soldiers a month. That means, like, a Gettysburg field. I've seen some of those pictures, and I really don't want to see them anymore. That's a war that has to stop. It's a war that, if the election weren't rigged -- the second election, if it weren't rigged, it would have never happened.

Donald Trump 00:47:45-00:48:03 (18 sec)

That would have never, ever happened. In four long years of Crooked Joe Biden, they got less than $1 trillion of new investment, so $1 trillion but much less than that, in four years, whereas we have secured commitments for more than $21 trillion in just 15 months, so in 15 months. And very much like with the border, what a difference a president makes, because remember -- Remember what Biden said?

Donald Trump 00:48:03-00:48:18 (15 sec)

Oh, I have to get from Congress to close up the border now. He put his border czar in there. She didn't make one call to the Border Patrol and she never went to the border. But other than that, she was extraordinary. [Laughter] We had the worst border in history. We never had -- there's never been a third world country like a border we've had.

Donald Trump 00:48:18-00:48:28 (10 sec)

Even a third world country at least tries to keep people out. Here in Georgia, the company UCB is investing $2 billion to build its first ever pharmaceutical factory in the United States. And they're all coming back. Eli Lilly is coming back -- With billions of dollars. Pfizer is coming back. Merck is coming back.

Donald Trump 00:48:28-00:48:53 (25 sec)

The tire manufacturer Pirelli just announced it's investing 1.2 billion, that's a lot of money, to expand its factory in Rome, Georgia with about 1,900 new jobs -- And many others. But as an example, Hyundai just announced it will invest $560 million to expand its factories in West Point, Georgia. Our country is doing so well under Republican leadership that only I can make this promise to you.

Donald Trump 00:48:53-00:49:15 (22 sec)

You know what I'm going to promise? $5,000. If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, I am going to give all adult citizens in the United States $5,000. And only Republicans can do that, because the Democrats, they can't do it, because they're taking in massive amounts of money through tariffs.

Donald Trump 00:49:15-00:49:40 (24 sec)

What we're doing through tariffs is unbelievable. We're taking trillions and trillions of dollars. But more important than the money, companies and countries are building in our country because they don't want to pay tariffs, so they're building plant and equipment at a level that has never been seen. Car companies are leaving Germany and South Korea, Japan, Canada, Mexico, and they're building right here in Georgia, but they're building all over the United States.

Donald Trump 00:49:40-00:50:06 (27 sec)

And we're leading China by a lot in super intelligence, SI. We changed the name to SI because it's much more accurate. Because artificial intelligence is more like the press. It's artificial. It's fake. [Laughter] It's -- it's not artificial. It's very real. It's actually super. To be honest, it's actually -- it's super intelligence.

Donald Trump 00:50:06-00:50:27 (21 sec)

We're changing it to SI. Everybody likes the idea, even all of the geniuses that got awards the other day. We awarded a lot of great, brilliant people that are doing this and other things. But they all like it, SI, super intelligence. But the Democrat policies won't allow this to happen. They won't allow you to make money.

Donald Trump 00:50:27-00:50:50 (23 sec)

They won't charge -- all they want to do is charge extra taxes. They want to double your taxes. First time I've ever seen it. All of my life -- Rick, I don't know if you and Mike and all these incredible heroes from Congress -- and we have the head of a very powerful group. Will you please stand up? The most beautiful woman -- well, I have to say one, because I get myself in trouble.

Donald Trump 00:50:50-00:51:10 (20 sec)

One of the most beautiful women in the administration -- now I'm covered, you understand that, right -- from right here in Georgia. Everybody knows. Thank you, honey. You look great. Fantastic person too. But if the Democrats win, you will have a 1929 style economic depression. You're going to have a depression.

Donald Trump 00:51:10-00:51:29 (18 sec)

But all my life I've heard politicians talking. I've always loved politics. I never thought I'd be doing this. I never even thought about it until about an hour before I came down the escalator with our great first lady. I said let's do it. Let's give it a shot. Well, look what happened. Who the hell knows?

Donald Trump 00:51:29-00:51:48 (19 sec)

You never know. I said let's give it a shot, Rick. I come down the escalator. The place is going crazy. I didn't have a speechwriter. I gave a speech and I said all the bad things that are happening at the border. And, you know, I spoke from my heart. And I came out and there were a total of 16 people running.

Donald Trump 00:51:48-00:52:17 (29 sec)

And I took a lead of 40 points on the first day, and it was sort of over, I think, 40 points. And I said to my people that was easy. That was quick. No, but some of them are very good people. Some of them are now in the administration. We have some great people. But if the Republicans win, you will each have $5,000 in your pockets and economic success for our country like you've never seen before.

Donald Trump 00:52:17-00:52:41 (24 sec)

And remember -- you gotta remember because, you know, the Democrats are going, well, I don't think he'll do that. I don't think he'll do that. But I'll do it. I always do it. I just recently gave members of the United States military $1,776, right? And everyone said he's never going to do that. I said I'm gonna do it. And, you know, it's interesting because I called in four generals, great generals.

Donald Trump 00:52:41-00:53:13 (31 sec)

I called them in, and they're standing in front of the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. And I said, Generals, we got great military people. We should give them a dividend. If you don't mind, let's go at a Trump dividend. We're going to give them a dividend. Sir, we can do that. And I said come back and tell me what it is. So, they come back two hours later and it was 1,775. And they put the number in front, and I said that's a weird number, 1,775. I said you know what, General?

Donald Trump 00:53:13-00:53:45 (32 sec)

If you could scrape up $1 more, we're 1,776. And you know what? That was a year ago. It got done. There was no big deal, and -- other than to the military. They liked it a lot and they were thanking me every time I see a soldier, thank you for the $1,776. But it was a weird feeling because I'm looking at this number, $1,775, and we have a -- really, look, our military is great, but it got done, just like the $5,000 is going to get done, but it can't get done until then because you have no money.

Donald Trump 00:53:45-00:54:07 (22 sec)

You're flat broke if they get in. This country is going to be flat broke; the jobs are going to be going back. The Trump dividend is approximately, as an example, $1 trillion. So, if you do that, it costs the country $1 trillion. But we have a record setting $21 trillion that's being invested in the United States just in 15 months.

Donald Trump 00:54:07-00:54:37 (30 sec)

So, the only caveat is you have to spend that $5,000 in the United States of America. You can't go let's -- Right. You can't say, darling, darling, the president just sent us $5,000. Let's take a trip to China and spend our money in China. Or I've always wanted to see Japan; let's go there darling, I love you so much, this is so great.

Donald Trump 00:54:37-00:55:02 (25 sec)

Or let's go to -- how about France? It's a lovely place. No riots, no revolutions. You know, France seems to be so damn good for revolutions, it's unbelievable. Let's go to France and join the revolution and spend our $5,000 there. But let's go anywhere, darling. And she'll say no, no, the caveat is you have to spend it in the United States of America.

Donald Trump 00:55:02-00:55:39 (38 sec)

Oh. So, let's go to Miami, darling or let's go to -- let's go to Palm Beach and enjoy the president for lunch. Let's have lunch at Mar a Lago -- Where for $5,000, you'll get one hamburger and a small dessert. [Laughter] I shouldn't say that. I'm sorry, I shouldn't. It's probably true. I get a hamburger. The choice in this election is very simple.

Donald Trump 00:55:39-00:55:59 (20 sec)

You can vote for the radical left Democrat Communist to loot your wealth, raise your taxes by $5 trillion, annihilate your borders, decimate Georgia's farms and factories, mutilate your children, and give 25 million illegal aliens amnesty and the right to vote. You know, the reason they let them in is to vote, you know that don't you?

Donald Trump 00:55:59-00:56:30 (31 sec)

And they're going to give them amnesty. Does anybody in the audience have a problem giving a man who murdered three people amnesty and the right to vote? Because you have plenty of them that got in. Or you can defeat the Dumocrat communists and vote for more money in your pockets, bigger paychecks for your families, lower taxes, less crime, a booming Georgia economy, no amnesty for illegal aliens, but you must vote Republican to do that.

Donald Trump 00:56:30-00:56:57 (27 sec)

And just think of what we have accomplished in less than two years' time. Since I took office, we've achieved the largest drop in violent crime ever recorded in the history of our country. Think of that. And by the way, we've gotten many of them out in all fairness. The Border Patrol and ICE are amazing, OK, the abuse they take -- and our law enforcement generally.

Donald Trump 00:56:57-00:57:18 (21 sec)

But the abuse they take. But think of that -- those numbers and these numbers, in spite of the fact that they've let hundreds of thousands of criminals into our country, but many of them have been removed already. The career criminals and the worst of the worst and we are getting them out at levels never seen before.

Donald Trump 00:57:18-00:57:41 (22 sec)

And they are, they're terrible people. The murder rate is at the lowest level in 125 years, that's since the year 1900. And thanks to a Republican Congress, I signed the Great Big, Beautiful -- I call it the Great Big, Beautiful Tax Cut Bill because it's the biggest tax cut in history, delivering the largest tax cuts in American history.

Donald Trump 00:57:41-00:58:11 (31 sec)

We gave you no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. And we even made, because this is something -- you know, rich people are always bragging about the deductions they get but it's not fair. So, I said we have to do this. I've been thinking about it for a long time, this is my idea.

Donald Trump 00:58:11-00:58:33 (21 sec)

We made interest on car loans tax deductible, but only if the car is made in America. If it's made in Japan, if it's made in Canada -- Canada. Oh, boy, Lake Ontario is now Lake America, you know that, right? Here's another one. They said you'll never be able to do that. I said let's give it a shot. It's now official; it's in Google Maps.

Donald Trump 00:58:33-00:58:53 (20 sec)

Google Maps has everything. But I mean of more significant importance. Their Gulf of America is now ours. So, when I said we're going to change the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, everybody laughed. Oh, that's so funny, sir, oh, you know, they're all laughing. I don't know, they keep laughing at me and then they say what the hell is he doing?

Donald Trump 00:58:53-00:59:17 (24 sec)

No, but I suggested -- I've been thinking about it because we have 93 percent of the shore and they have 7 percent. And I said, why is it called the Gulf of Mexico? And it's incredible, the wealth there. There's, you know, oil underneath, the waters are magnificent. But it's 97 percent ours, all the way along Florida, all the way down around -- hit Mexico.

Donald Trump 00:59:17-00:59:46 (29 sec)

So, I said that and people go, ha ha, that's so funny, that's so funny. It's not funny. So, I filed papers and then I called up Google; I spoke to the top people at Google because Google Maps is a big deal. And I said, how do you feel about changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America? And I said, what do you think of that, fellas?

Donald Trump 00:59:46-01:00:13 (28 sec)

Well, I don't know. I said, what do you think? And they said, well, we think it's a great idea. [Laughter] And -- no, they were great. And it is now the Gulf of America. Do you know the business there, a long venture, you know, it's like tripled and quadrupled. It's the hottest thing there, selling Gulf of America hats and everything else.

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

Who the hell wants to wear a -- seriously, who wants to wear a Gulf of Mexico hat? We want -- I have Gulf of America -- I almost wore Gulf of America. You're not quite close enough, you're close. But if I do it along certain states, I think when I go down to the -- when I go down to certain areas, the Panhandle.

Donald Trump 01:00:32-01:01:01 (28 sec)

Susie, I'm going to bring up those Gulf of America hats. They're selling like crazy. No, but the businesses literally quadrupled, it's amazing. And we have some other ideas. So, I have a gulf, I have a lake, now I want to have a strait, that's the Hormuz Strait. How will the Arab countries feel if we name it the Trump Strait?

Donald Trump 01:01:01-01:01:31 (30 sec)

What do you think, Matt? What do you think, Matt? The Trump Strait. So, then we have a strait. We'll be able to pull that one off easy. Now everyone's laughing, oh, that's so funny. The only thing we're missing is a fricking ocean. So, I called up Google [Laughter] And I said, let me ask just one question.

Donald Trump 01:01:31-01:01:57 (26 sec)

You know, they're going through -- first they do -- first they do the Gulf of America. Then they do -- they take a little small lake away from Canada, not a small lake, but they -- we have a lake. I said we're going to do the strait, but then I said to them we need an ocean. How do you feel about the Trump Ocean for the Atlantic or the Pacific?

Donald Trump 01:01:57-01:02:21 (24 sec)

You know what they said? We've had it, that's enough, we're not doing it anymore. [Laughter] I said I agree. No, I was only kidding. No, I sent them a little picture of where it says the Trump Ocean and they called back. They said sir, look, OK, this one we can't do. Oceans are different. Oceans cover many, many countries; we can't do it. I said I was only kidding -- that time I was.

Donald Trump 01:02:21-01:02:49 (28 sec)

Although, it's not the worst idea I've ever heard, but it's not one of the greatest ideas. To protect family farms, we virtually eliminated the unfair estate tax or death tax, we eliminated it. Such a big deal because -- and Rick, you and Mike and all of you guys should campaign on this, it's so important because it was such a problem.

Donald Trump 01:02:49-01:03:09 (20 sec)

The estate tax or the death tax, it was -- it's devastating. It's 30, 40, 50 percent depending on size. And guys would -- you know, mother and father, they love their children, the children grow up on the farm, they want to stay on the farm, they love the farm, it's all they know. They love farming; they don't want to go to the big city and all of that.

Donald Trump 01:03:09-01:03:27 (18 sec)

They want to -- their way of life is incredible, but it's land rich and maybe sort of cash poor. The land is valuable, but it doesn't make that much but it's a good living. And the parents would leave it to their children that they loved so much, and their children would get hit with a tremendous -- you know, millions of dollars in estate taxes.

Donald Trump 01:03:27-01:03:47 (20 sec)

A tax, we call it, estate taxes. And they're devastated. Then they start looking around. Where are we going to get that kind of money? They go to the local bank. They go all over the place. They end up borrowing in some cases millions of dollars or hundreds of thousands of dollars, more than they could ever pay, but they're desperate.

Donald Trump 01:03:47-01:04:18 (31 sec)

And they end up losing it to foreclosure, and they end up committing suicide in many cases. In many cases, the children commit suicide because they lost the farm that their beloved parents had left them. And we got rid of the estate tax or death tax. So, now if you want -- If you want to leave your children the farm, or small business included -- and remember this.

Donald Trump 01:04:18-01:04:40 (22 sec)

If you don't love your children, what I just said just don't worry about it. It's a waste of time. Is there anybody here that doesn't love their children? Is there anybody here that will not leave their farm or small business to their children? Then I just wasted a hell of a lot of time. There's nobody. [Laughter] There's not one person -- I'll bet there is a couple of people that -- they're marginal, right?

Donald Trump 01:04:40-01:05:07 (27 sec)

There's -- no, but it's so great. No, it's a big story, I mean, you can read this, that in -- in a lot, they end up killing themselves. They end up committing suicide because they're losing their farm and they feel their parents are looking down so horrified and -- terrible. So, there's no more -- Rick, there's no more -- any inheritance taxes, which are massive, you know, 50 percent.

Donald Trump 01:05:07-01:05:33 (25 sec)

It gets up to 50 percent, even higher than that. And there's no more -- There's no more death tax. It's the same thing with different words. But a lot of people use the word death tax. I use inheritance, but it's a death tax. And you can leave it to your children. You don't pay any tax, and they can go happily on their way.

Donald Trump 01:05:33-01:05:47 (14 sec)

And hopefully they do great. Under my most favored nations agreements on drug prices, we went from paying the highest prices anywhere in the world by far to paying the lowest prices for drugs anywhere in the world by far -- With differences of 300, 400, 500, 600 or even 700 percent. It's the biggest thing to happen in the drug industry ever.

Donald Trump 01:05:47-01:06:07 (20 sec)

Nobody thought it could be done, but I did it. I did it because I got the drug companies -- I was rough with them, but I got the drug companies, but they were fine because they knew I couldn't get the countries, because the countries had to agree. But then I informed the countries that, well, if you don't do it, I'm going to put tariffs on the country, which is ten times more money than we're talking about, and every country said we would love to do it, sir.

Donald Trump 01:06:07-01:06:33 (26 sec)

I joke about Emmanuel Macron, who's a nice guy from France. He's a -- he's the big wig in France. And he said to me, Donald, Donald, you must be kidding. I said, no, Emmanuel, you're going to have to double the price of your drugs because a pill for $10, in New York City we're paying $130 for that pill, 13 times the amount.

Donald Trump 01:06:33-01:07:05 (32 sec)

So, if you raise it up -- because the world is a bigger place. So, if you raise it up to 20 or 30, which is a doubling -- could be a tripling. But if you raise it up to 20 or 30, if you raise it from $10 to 20 or 30, ours comes down to $10, ours comes down to 20 because it's favored nations. In other words, we get the lowest price in the world.

Donald Trump 01:07:05-01:07:31 (26 sec)

Whatever the lowest price that drugs are sold for, the United States of America gets the lowest price. That's the biggest thing ever to happen. And you guys should use that for your campaigns, because nobody else could have done it. And the press barely writes about it. I mean, it's unbelievable. I call it the fake news, but the fake news barely -- think of it, they barely write about it. We abolished all discriminatory diversity, equity and inclusion policies throughout the federal government.

Donald Trump 01:07:31-01:07:50 (20 sec)

We got critical race theory and transgender mutilization insanity out of our schools. I mean, we have five states where your child goes off to school as Tim and comes back as Tammy three or four days later. It's true. And teachers make -- somebody makes a decision. Can you imagine? Goodbye, Timmy. I love you so much.

Donald Trump 01:07:50-01:08:19 (29 sec)

I'll see you later. And you say where's my son? My son is in the hospital. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? They don't even need approval. It's sick. You'll have five -- I think Minnesota and some others. I think it's five or six states. You know that, right? So -- and we made English the official language of the United States of America.

Donald Trump 01:08:19-01:08:40 (21 sec)

And thanks to our Republican Congress, we delivered the largest ever investment in the United States Armed Forces, over $1 trillion that we got. These Congressmen, every one of them, loved it. They want to go more. We're going to go a little bit more this year, I think. So -- and it's all made in America.

Donald Trump 01:08:40-01:09:03 (22 sec)

Every single Democrat in Congress, including Pee-wee Herman, it's Jon Ossoff -- [Laughter] That's how -- he looks like Pee-wee Herman. And didn't Pee-wee have a checkered last number of years? He passed away, sadly, but he had a very checkered last number of years. That's Jon Ossoff. He's Pee-wee Herman.

Donald Trump 01:09:03-01:09:22 (20 sec)

I'm telling you, Pee-wee. They voted against our record tax cuts. They voted against no tax on tips. They voted against everything, the Democrats. They voted against no tax on overtime. They voted against no tax on Social Security for our seniors. They voted against voter ID. You know why? Because they want to cheat.

Donald Trump 01:09:22-01:09:49 (27 sec)

They voted against proof of citizenship when you vote because they want to cheat. They voted in favor of the worst inflation and highest energy costs in American history in favor of the transgender mutilization of your children and in favor of men playing in women's sports, men in women's sports. On election night, Georgia's going to prove that America does not belong to those who hate it. America belongs to those who love it and love it dearly. [Audience chants "USA"]

Donald Trump 01:09:49-01:10:39 (49 sec)

So, Ossoff is a weak and insecure phony who votes against Georgia values every time. Ossoff supports no cash bail, releasing violent criminals back onto your streets. And immediately upon arrest, he'll do whatever they want to do. He's owned by the criminals. He voted to mandate the COVID vaccine for schoolchildren who didn't need it. He voted three times to have men playing in women's sports, three times.

Donald Trump 01:10:39-01:11:04 (25 sec)

Did you see the weightlifting contest recently where a young championship female weightlifter lifted 211 pounds? That's pretty good, and she was going for the record. But unfortunately, a person who transitioned -- I got all the words right. Took me a while. I took a lot of heat from the fake news for it. He transitioned into womanhood, but unfortunately his muscles didn't transition.

Donald Trump 01:11:04-01:11:29 (26 sec)

And he lifted -- and my -- I'm not going to do it today because my wife gets so -- she says it's so unpresidential. She said when you do the whole thing with the weightlifting and the swimming and the dancing when you leave, I hate it. You're a president. I said I just won in a landslide. Leave me alone, will you? [Laughter] No, Melania, she's got one of the top movies of the year, can you believe it, called Melania, right?

Donald Trump 01:11:29-01:11:50 (21 sec)

But she's a very elegant person. But she hates when I do the weightlifting. Ah, come on. Come on, darling, you can do it. Ah, ah, Mom, I can't do it. Mom, I won't be -- boom, can't do it. Oh, she hates it. And then the guy comes out. He was a failed man weightlifter, failed. He couldn't even do anything, but now he's a champion.

Donald Trump 01:11:50-01:12:20 (30 sec)

And he comes out, he looks at that 211 pounds, whatever it was. He looks down, says -- one hand, bing, bing, bing. It's terrible. You know how demeaning it is to women, really? So demeaning to great women athletes, it's ridiculous. He won by over 100 pounds, by the way. How about recently there was a long distance, very long -- one of those super day deals, crazy.

Donald Trump 01:12:20-01:12:42 (23 sec)

I don't know. I don't know why people want to do it. But they run all day, they swim and they bicycle and everything. And they had the best women athletes in the world and the best men athletes. The man won by six hours, 32 minutes and 18 seconds. What he did is he wanted to wait around for the trophy. They said sorry.

Donald Trump 01:12:42-01:13:23 (40 sec)

You have to wait til the girls come in, they said. So, he went inside. He slept for a few hours, came out. It was still way too early. Went, slept for a little longer. Then he got out, picked up his trophy and he went home. How crazy, right? How crazy. And we've won about 90 percent of the case already in the Supreme Court, but we're going to have it finalized now.

Donald Trump 01:13:23-01:13:54 (31 sec)

The only problem is I sort of don't want to finalize it because I want to run on this for the Republican Party for years. I don't want to take this off. I want this, and I only talk about it right before an election. I'd never talk about men playing in women's sports. I never talk about the transgender mutilization of your children.

Donald Trump 01:13:54-01:14:19 (25 sec)

I never talk about open borders for everybody. Every -- the world's worst criminals are allowed to come in unvetted, unchecked because I don't want them to change their policy, to be honest with you. Because ultimately, we can't lose, other than their cheating, which is massive. That's why they cheat; they have to cheat because their policy is no good.

Donald Trump 01:14:19-01:14:50 (31 sec)

That's why I call them Dumocrats, because their policy is dumb, so I call them Dumocrats. I can't believe it took me nine years to figure that one out. I exchange an E with a U and that's the end of it. Took me nine years, but they are; they're Dumocrats because of their policy. But I don't want them to change their policy because I want to continue to win.

Donald Trump 01:14:50-01:15:13 (23 sec)

He voted for a federal carbon tax. Remember Obama? We want a carbon tax on all planes. Then he hops on Air Force One, flies to Hawaii to play golf, and he comes back. I mean, it's the craziest thing. Gets on an old carbon spewing 747. Now we have a brand new 747. Beautiful. Thank you. But he gets in this old plane that's spewing all sorts of crap in the air to shoot about 130 for a round of golf, because that's about what he shoots.

Donald Trump 01:15:13-01:15:38 (25 sec)

And then he comes back on the same plane, has a news conference to announce carbon tax -- carbon. That's another hoax, the carbon tax hoax. And he voted to ban gasoline powered cars almost always wearing a mask while doing so. Ossoff voted to put DEI and critical race theory into elementary schools and pre-K. How about that?

Donald Trump 01:15:38-01:15:56 (18 sec)

And he even supports reparations, seizing your wealth and giving it to other people. He wants to take away your wealth. This is Ossoff. This is Ossoff. And when they do it -- now he's changed some of his policy because it's so crazy. He's as bad almost as Mohammed Abdul El-Sayed. You know, I took a lot of heat for calling him Mohammad.

Donald Trump 01:15:56-01:16:17 (21 sec)

And I said, I don't care; I'm the president of the United States, I can call you whatever the hell I want. I can call you whatever I want, Mohammad. And then today, a guy sends me something. His name is actually Abdullah; it's Abdullah bah bah bah bah bah, Mohamed El-Sayed. So, his middle name is Mohammad.

Donald Trump 01:16:17-01:16:35 (18 sec)

So, I was right -- almost. Oh, by the way, how about that guy? He's a jihadist. He's a radical left person, hates our country. He's a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. How about putting him on the Senate Intelligence Committee? And there's not a lot of intelligence there either. And Jon Ossoff has spent more money on makeup.

Donald Trump 01:16:35-01:16:56 (21 sec)

And by the way, I wear very little and I do it myself, yeeahhh, because if you don't put a little on, you look a little bit like a dead person. And I don't want to look that way. But he goes full bore; he's got the makeup artist in there all the time, I don't know how he does it. But he spends a fortune, you saw that, on makeup.

Donald Trump 01:16:56-01:17:25 (29 sec)

He spends more money on makeup than any man or woman in the history of the Senate. And the women aren't happy about it. It's time to fire Jon Ossoff and elect Mike Collins, one of the most respected men in Washington. Come up, Mike.

Mike Collins 01:17:25-01:17:44 (19 sec)

Thank you, Mr. President. You know, I want to do something real quick and that's just tell you personally -- personally -- not just from me, but from everybody in here and across this state and across this country. Sir, we appreciate your leadership, your backbone, you're standing up for America and putting America first.

Mike Collins 01:17:44-01:18:14 (29 sec)

Sir, you are -- you are giving the next generation the opportunity to chase their version of the American dream. Thank you. Thank you. Georgia -- Georgia, I want you to know something too, real quick. Listen, this thing, this race is sitting -- is sitting right here. It's right here in front of us. Early voting has already started.

Mike Collins 01:18:14-01:18:36 (22 sec)

All we gotta do is reach out and grab this. Grab it and hang on. And how do you do that? You go vote, and you make sure you take people with you to go vote. You do that -- you do that, and I promise you you'll get one more vote for that Save America Act so that we can secure our elections in this country.

Mike Collins 01:18:36-01:18:52 (16 sec)

And one last thing I want to leave you with. You're going to get a Senator in the US Senate that's going to have this man's back. Appreciate it. Thank you very much. Thank you.

Donald Trump 01:18:52-01:19:21 (29 sec)

So, he's going to win and he's a winner; he's got the whole package. And we need that vote; we need that vote. But, this is not, I don't think -- real people from Georgia, you have no alternative. You have somebody who's a champion, a great man. He is going to be a great man, he already is, respected by everybody so much.

Donald Trump 01:19:21-01:19:48 (27 sec)

And you can't let Ossoff get -- he got -- it was a rigged deal; you can't let it happen again. So, you also need to vote for another -- a truly great patriot, a truly great man named Rick Jackson to be your next governor. Rick's opponent, former Atlanta Mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms -- [Audience boos]

Donald Trump 01:19:48-01:20:16 (28 sec)

Destroyed Atlanta with her crime and filth and constant riots. She's the one -- look, I always viewed Atlanta as like a great city. It's not considered that anymore; she ruined Atlanta. It's one of the most unsafe cities anywhere on the planet -- anywhere, not just in this country. If that happened to the state, you'd have -- you'd be ranked number 50. And you can't let it happen.

Donald Trump 01:20:16-01:20:39 (23 sec)

She's a disaster. She's just got a mouthpiece, just all complaints, complaints, all she does is complain. She's an incompetent disaster who eliminated cash bail for vicious criminals, turned Atlanta into a deadly sanctuary city and, if she becomes governor, she will ruin your state. She will ruin this great state that I love so much and that I won by a lot.

Donald Trump 01:20:39-01:21:05 (26 sec)

I won the state by a lot. And if my people get out to vote, these guys are going to have a landslide. They're going to have a landslide. So, I'm going to ask Rick to come up for a second, because what the job he's done is incredible. And he beat a great politician. He beat your lieutenant governor who's a great politician, and your lieutenant governor is with him all the way.

Donald Trump 01:21:05-01:21:23 (18 sec)

The job he's done is unbelievable. He's one of the best businessmen in America, and he'll make an unbelievable -- what he'll do with cutting taxes and everything else, the whole country is going to be watching. So, I just want to introduce your future governor, Rick Jackson.

Rick Jackson 01:21:23-01:21:53 (29 sec)

You know, I'm running to help vulnerable people, I call them the least of these. And there's never been a president who has done more for foster children that are abused and neglected than this man here. And on behalf of all foster children, I want to thank you, Mr. President, for caring about our vulnerable children.

Rick Jackson 01:21:53-01:21:53 (1 sec)

Thank you.

Donald Trump 01:21:53-01:22:28 (34 sec)

So, also with Rick, you have a man named Greg Dolezal for lieutenant governor, and I want to just introduce him. Greg, wherever you may be, good luck. Good looking -- oh, he's a good-looking guy. You're not allowed to say that about women or men anymore; it's the end of your political career. But he is a good-looking guy.

Donald Trump 01:22:28-01:22:52 (24 sec)

So, how are you? Good? Yes, absolutely. Good luck; it's going to be a great race; it's going to be fantastic. And honestly, I don't even see -- you have a woman who destroyed Atlanta. What's she going to do here? She's not going to be destroying Atlanta, Make Georgia Great. You have a guy that's going to turn this place into the most incredible state in the country.

Donald Trump 01:22:52-01:23:18 (26 sec)

So, I don't even think -- I don't even think it's close. So, Rick, you're amazing. Brian Strickland for attorney general. Brian? Brian? Great. A lot of young, smart guys; good-looking young people. I'm going to get the hell out of here; I don't like it. And Tim Fleming, where is Tim Fleming? Is he here? Tim? Good luck, Tim. I heard you're doing great; your poll numbers are good.

Donald Trump 01:23:18-01:23:54 (35 sec)

All of their poll numbers are good. So, Georgia also is to get out and vote for Congressman Clay Fuller. He's fantastic. Aren't you the one that took over the seat of Marjorie Taylor Brown? [Laughter] You know why I call her that? Because green turns to brown under stress. Other people call her Marjorie Traitor Greene, but I like Marjorie Taylor Brown.

Donald Trump 01:23:54-01:24:18 (24 sec)

Green turns to brown, and she -- turned to brown with her. She doesn't know -- she doesn't know what the hell she's doing. What a whack job. Aren't you the guy? Yeah, you're the guy. And that was easy. She was opposed to you, and you won in massive numbers. Congratulations. Proud of you. Also Congressman -- a real star, worked for me for a long time, and he always wanted to be back in Georgia.

Donald Trump 01:24:18-01:24:50 (33 sec)

He wanted to be a Congressman, and he's one of the best, Brian Jack. Thank you, Brian. Thank you. One of the best, Austin Scott. Austin, great. What a team. You got good people. Andrew Clyde -- Great, Andrew. Rich McCormick. And by the way, one of my favorites. Congratulations. What a -- what a career you've had, and you're going to be back in some capacity.

Donald Trump 01:24:50-01:25:15 (25 sec)

And you know I'm -- I'm with you 1,000 percent. A man that everybody loves in this state, a man that gave a very powerful candidate a hell of a hard time. We love you. All right? We love you. Thank you. Buddy Carter, everybody, Buddy. Thank you, Buddy. He was tough, right? You have to say Buddy was tough, but he was fair and he's a good man.

Donald Trump 01:25:15-01:25:52 (37 sec)

We're joined today by SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler. Kelly, hi, Kelly -- And a very special guy, Treasurer of the United States of America, Brandon Beach -- And the Georgia GOP chair who presided over my big victory, I'm very happy, Josh McKoon. Josh, thank you. Great job. Thank you, Josh. Good job. And chairman of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, Ralph Reed.

Donald Trump 01:25:52-01:26:19 (26 sec)

Ralph? He rang -- in my race less than two years ago, he and his group rang more than 10 million doorbells. Is that right? Over 10 million, actually. And they real -- and they rang them. That's a real number. That's a lot of doorbells, too. Thank you very much. That could have made the -- well, we won by so much, I don't know -- I don't know if it made -- but you really helped.

Donald Trump 01:26:19-01:26:45 (26 sec)

I appreciate it. Thank you, Ralph. He's been a friend of mine for a long time. Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John King. John? Thank you, John. And, you know, we have a man here -- I love these athletes. I love the -- I was okay in sports, but some of these guys are legendary. We had a man -- you know, he's given me his total endorsement.

Donald Trump 01:26:45-01:27:05 (21 sec)

I know that in Georgia you've never heard of him, but Herschel Walker, you didn't -- you've never heard of Herschel. He was a better football player than candidate, but he wasn't a bad candidate. I will tell you that. I think he actually did a lot better than people understand. It was a rigged election. The whole thing was rigged down here.

Donald Trump 01:27:05-01:27:28 (22 sec)

We got to be careful. That's the only risk we have, fellas. But there's a man in the crowd that I've been a fan of for a long time. He's a handsome guy. We flew on the plane. We flew in Air Force One. Did you like Air Force One? Oh, now he's spoiled. He wants one of them. Don't do it. Don't do it. But he's a legendary University of Georgia running back and he's an NFL superstar superstar.

Donald Trump 01:27:28-01:27:55 (27 sec)

His name is Todd Gurley, and everybody knows him. And Todd -- so, I -- I wanted to say a couple of words about him because he's a fantastic guy. He's respected by everybody. And he had almost 4,000 rushing yards in the NFL, 36 touchdowns, three seasons at the University of Georgia. He was the NFL Offensive Rookie of the year.

Donald Trump 01:27:55-01:28:19 (24 sec)

That's not bad. I said to my people I know Todd, but, you know, give me the stats. How good was he? Well, he was the NFL Rookie of the Year. He was the NFL Offensive Player of the Year. He led the NFL in rushing touchdowns and was the youngest player in NFL history to reach 50 career touchdowns. That means he is a good player.

Donald Trump 01:28:19-01:28:42 (23 sec)

That's pretty -- That's pretty -- you know, I mean, I knew you were good. I didn't know you were that -- you are serious. Come on up here for a second. Come on up, Todd. [Audience member calls out "Go Dawgs"]

Todd Gurley 01:28:42-01:29:03 (21 sec)

Go Dawg! I want to thank President Trump today for the experience being on Air Force One, welcoming me into the White House. Thank you so much. Thank you to the state of Georgia for everything y'all done to me. And go Dawgs!

Donald Trump 01:29:03-01:29:28 (25 sec)

I don't want to tackle him. He looks good. He looks good. He could be in there right now. He looks good. That's a -- that's some group of records you have. Very few people can have those records. Those are special records. We also have another giant of Georgia football, Keith Marshall. Keith, where are you, Keith?

Donald Trump 01:29:28-01:29:53 (25 sec)

Thank you, Keith. Great, great player also. Everyone here today is part of the greatest movement in the history of our country and maybe the history of the world. And as you can see here today, it's stronger and bigger and better and it's more powerful than ever before. MAGA, call it what you want, there's never been anything like it in history.

Donald Trump 01:29:53-01:30:10 (17 sec)

When we can call for a little rally so I get these two guys plus some others into office, and these two guys should be easy, that should be no choice -- but we want to get them in office. We want to get them in office fast. You're going to see things happen with your state, including massive tax cuts because I was listening to Rick.

Donald Trump 01:30:10-01:30:31 (21 sec)

I was looking -- really backstage, I was listening to both of them, big, big tax cuts. But, you know, we've had some great fun. And CNN of all people did a chart and then they did a second chart, and I thought I'd show it to you because it's done by CNN. And typically they're not big Trump fans. So, do you want to put that up, please?

Donald Trump 01:30:31-01:30:33 (1 sec)

Thank you.

Note 01:30:33-01:30:33 ( sec)

[Begin video clip]

Unidentified 01:30:33-01:30:52 (20 sec)

[Video clip] 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.

Unidentified 01:30:52-01:31:10 (18 sec)

[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. So, that support is actually really holding up strong.

Unidentified 01:31:10-01:31:34 (24 sec)

[Video clip] It's really, really strong when it comes to MAGA GOP and the Republicans holding on to that vote. This one? Ok. The president Republicans most admire is Donald Trump. This is a historic comparison. A majority of Republicans say -- 53 percent say he's the Republican president -- They most admire. Ronald Reagan, who traditionally has won that match, Donald Trump nearly triples up on this, Reagan at just 18 percent.

Unidentified 01:31:34-01:31:50 (16 sec)

[Video clip] And then Abraham Lincoln, who by most historic accounts is the greatest president of all time, but Republicans say that the president that they most admire by -- what is this? This is 6, 7 times as many, Donald John Trump at 53 percent, easily crushing Abe Lincoln at 8 percent.

Unidentified 01:31:50-01:31:55 (5 sec)

[Video clip] And the poll showed that he was the greatest president as well, Don. I feel like this slide might end up in a printout on his desk.

Note 01:31:55-01:31:55 ( sec)

[End video clip]

Donald Trump 01:31:55-01:32:20 (25 sec)

Thank you very much. Thank you. Wow, CNN. Thank you, CNN. You're right there. Thank you. So, in conclusion, if you elect a Republican House and Republican Senate on November 3rd, you get $5,000. If we lose, you get absolutely nothing because the Democrat policies cannot get you there. They can't even if they wanted to, never.

Donald Trump 01:32:20-01:32:53 (33 sec)

So, if you lose, you get nothing. 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 will win the war on corruption and fraud, led by our great vice president doing a good job, 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.

Donald Trump 01:32:53-01:33:25 (32 sec)

We will pass a truly great health care plan that will stop all payments to big insurance companies, which own the Dumocrats, they own the Dumocrats, and we will give the money directly to you, the people, so you can buy a much better health care and have lots of money left over for yourself. And we will end no cash bail, and we will pass the death penalty for large scale drug dealers, human traffickers.

Donald Trump 01:33:25-01:33:56 (31 sec)

And anyone who kills a police officer or law enforcement official. And we will pass the Save America Act to defend our sacred American elections, which will include mandatory voter ID, proof of citizenship. And we will enshrine into permanent law no men in women sports, no transgender mutilation of your children, and many other great things.

Donald Trump 01:33:56-01:34:24 (28 sec)

So, ladies and gentlemen of Georgia, the Golden Age of America is upon us. We've never had a time like this. Think of it, $21 trillion, and now the number is close to $22 -- trillion with a T -- dollars being invested in our country. The record was 10 years ago, $3 trillion by China. We're at $22 trillion for just a short period of time.

Donald Trump 01:34:24-01:34:56 (33 sec)

But you must get out and you must vote Republican. We have never had anything like what's happening in our country. The other day, they had a very prominent newscaster, a businessperson, talking to one of the smartest people on Wall Street. And the person on Wall Street looked at him and said do you have any idea what's happening with our country, with all the money that's being spent.

Donald Trump 01:34:56-01:35:15 (18 sec)

Do you have any idea what's going on? Just because they were talking about the stock market and the potential for going up. This guy is one of the top guys in the world in this stuff, he looks at him and said do you have any idea what's going on? They've never seen -- he said I've never -- I've been doing this for 35 years.

Donald Trump 01:35:15-01:35:39 (24 sec)

He said I've never seen anything like it. So, we've already made unbelievable progress and now we will reach new levels of greatness. It is my honor to be your president at this unbelievably exciting time. Because together we will make America powerful again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America healthy again.

Donald Trump 01:35:39-01:36:04 (25 sec)

We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And most importantly and without question, we will make America great again. Thank you, Georgia, and God bless you all. God bless you. Thank you.
