One week before the midterms, President Donald Trump is in Texas touting a major oil deal with Venezuela. What has the president planned for the final stretch?
Early voting is already underway in North Carolina, home to a closely watched Senate race. Rep. Pat Harrigan (R-N.C.) tells us which issues are driving voters in the Tar Heel State.
Former acting Defense Intelligence Agency Director David Shedd explains what to know about Confucius Institutes acting as a front for Chinese influence on American campuses.
And then it comes for him, you know, he shouldn't be surprised.
This is what he wanted.
And nobody, as Democrats love to tell us, is above the law.
Switching gears a bit, Vice President J.D. Vance in Michigan today,
following the president's lead in stumping
for candidates in the critical swing state there.
Here he is making the case for Mike Rogers
and what voters can learn from recent events in Paris.
The scene of destruction in Paris may be an ocean away.
But ask yourselves, are they really
so hard to imagine here in the United States of America?
And I guarantee you,
if those rioters were burning down New York or Detroit,
the Hassan Pikers and the El-Sayeds would be right there leading them
and cheering them on.
Lee, many Michigan Democrats backed Abdul Al-Sayed,
his more moderate opponent in the primary, Haley Stevens,
who he's beat by a very slim margin.
will those moderates come out
and support him in the general given his proximity to people like
Hassan Piker, uh so a couple things first I want
to kind of switch back to what JD Vance was just
saying about how there was rioters
and burning in the streets that actually has happened here
in the United States of America it happened in January 6th
and they were being led by the guy
who's the current president
but i i don't want to dwell on that too much look you know this race
was Mike Rogers to lose after the primary.
It was a very fractured Democratic primary.
Hassan Piker won by like 1% of the vote,
less than 1% of the vote,
and it was a pretty wide gulf.
Hassan Piker, Abdul Sayed won by 1% of the vote.
And it was a pretty wide gulf.
It was a pretty divisive primary.
It was there for the taking.
And the only reason that this race,
not only is a toss-up,
but if you look at the polls,
You know, Sayed is, you know, leading in most of them.
The only reason this race is there is because Donald Trump had to go
and pick a fight with Michigan's largest trading partner, Canada.
And you know it's had an effect when Mike Rogers has to come out
with ads saying, well, no, I don't agree with Donald Trump.
But this, which we all know is a capital offense in the Trump universe.
You break with the president on something,
it's almost a capital offense.
you've seen with uh John Conran in Texas uh Marjorie Taylor Greene
in in Georgia anytime you break with
he doesn't take too kindly to that but i think
the president has squarely made this a toss-up race
leaning god forbid you know steve i've
been on here enough times that i have my problems with
El Sayed, it's put it in his favor because donald trump went
and started an unnecessary trade fight with
canada and it's in the guy
who's going to pay in the end is mike rogers well yeah we'll have
to point out uh some folks might take issue with uh
your characterization of january 6th as a false
equivalency factoring in um you know some of the agent provocateurs and the i saw
a lot of rioting there they might ask if you saw
the tour of the capitol for the so-called q anon shaman
by the uh by the capitol police as well
but uh i digress denise mike rogers campaign has
been courting moderate democrats who don't align
with al-Sayed's politics.
Will that dissatisfaction turn into votes for Republicans?
You know, it's unfortunate that Mike Rogers has
to do anything to court anyone who's American
and loves our country,
because the reality is that al-Sayed and his bestie, Hassan Piker,
stand for everything that we do not believe in as Americans.
Forget about whether you're
a Democrat or Republican.
Al-Sayed is promoting all kinds of crazy liberal things like Medicare
care for all which costs three trillion dollars.
And look at how that worked out for Obamacare.
It tripled our rates here in California for for insurance.
You know, he talks about getting rid
of switching to 100 percent renewable by 2030 renewables.
Can you imagine what that's going
to do to the price of oil? I mean,
this is what Democrats believe in. This is the nonsense that
they think is going to drive.
There's a reason we pay two dollars more per gallon of gas. It's the
delusion of democrats in our democrat majority state
of california that costs that pushes the
cost of gas two dollars above what we're seeing
at the national level he talks about abolishing
he calls Israel our closest ally in the Middle East a rogue state
and all of this he's done
forget it you know forget about even Hassan Piker
for a second if you can but i don't think you
should, especially if you're a Jewish American.
Hassan Piker, who literally campaigned with El
Syed on the last day of his primary, has called Orthodox Jews inbred.
He's blamed Jews for the
893% increase in anti-Semitic acts of violence against them.
And his uncle just released an ad
that Dan Goldman, the Democratic congressman,
and Haley Stevens, and so many others have said
is outrageous because it literally is so anti-Semitic.
It literally pulls a page from
the playbook of Nazis to push the blame of higher prices
and economic woes from, you know, wherever
you think it should be laid onto Israelis and Jews.
I mean, this is so disgusting and vile
that if you need any other reason to not vote for El-Sayed,
then I really don't know what your
rationale could be. He is disgusting and vile as a candidate,
and he has no place in American
politics. Now, Michigan isn't the only race
the White House is stumping for. President Trump
is speaking in Texas today,
showing off a newly arrived oil shipment from Venezuela.
Here's the president discussing the announcement.
I think it's a third stop, basically.
We're going to accept a million barrels of oil,
and I'm going to give it to you people to use it
the way you want. And we're going to have oil prices
are going to be dropping very sharply
very soon. So Lee,
the oil on the tanker expected to be refined in Texas, which is
also home to a refinery expansion,
expected to bring more money into the state. Will pairing
these industrial announcements with campaign stops sway voters?
Would he like a cookie for that?
It was just, you guys just said that hundred million,
that million barrels is one twentieth of what
we use on a daily basis not a weekly not a monthly
not a yearly a daily basis so hey here's your
cookie um look texas is yet another example
of president trump stepping in it does anyone really
think if John Conran was the republican nominee
this race would even be in play it wouldn't it
wouldn't James How Rico would you know
do his you know don quixote he'd be the democratic standard
bearer and he'd lose by probably
at least 10 percentage points next tuesday if john conran
was the nominee but john conran wasn't loyal enough
to the president president needed a stooge
so he goes out and picks ken paxton a guy
who scammed investors out of 300 million had to repay
it back spent New Year's Eve with his mistress in Dubai
and spent the Fourth of July in Jolly
Old England with his mistress that's
who the Republican nominee in Texas is and that's why
James Hall Rico may very well be the first Democrat elected
to Texas since before I graduated high
school. Denise, I'll let you reply.
Yeah, well, so John Cornyn was very popular among all senators,
actually. In my time in Washington, D.C., he was very well respected.
And I do find it unfortunate
that we ended up with Ken Paxton,
who's a horrifically flawed candidate personally. But
back to your original question, first of all,
let's actually stay there for a second, because
Paxton is nothing like Hall Rico,
who's changed his stripes so many times on what he stands for
that he doesn't even know what he believes in anymore.
He's said insane things about his own
religious beliefs, which most Texans that vote,
vote with Christian values, whether they claim
the faith or not. He has said insane things
that are not even close to Orthodox Christian views.
But he's also said really wacky things that are super progressive
and out of the mainstream for
Texans about where he stands on issues that are just political.
So Hall Rico can do all the sort
of changing of the stripes that he wants,
but nobody's going to fall for it in Texas. That
state's going to go to Paxton at the end of the day.
But back to your question about the oil
tanker, you know, Democrats in our state
of California have shut down every single refinery.
There's a reason that we pay $2 more per gallon of gas for no reason.
There's no war that we're
waging. It's always been that way.
If you think that Democrats are actually going to do more to
lower the price of gas, just look at what Biden did
when it was over five dollars a barrel and
there was no Iran war. So the reality
is that at least President Trump is doing something about it
to show that this is the beginning of a new route of oil
and a new source that's coming in because
people are suffering for high gas prices.
That's what he wants to bring down. That requires more
supply. Every Democrat's answer to energy woes is let's cut out oil
and phase in renewables.
And I can tell you, as somebody
who's worked in the renewable energy industry, that that is a
pipe dream. That is exactly why those sort
of lofty goals that have no actual basis in reality
are the reasons that we're paying the prices that we are in California.
Two dollars more per gallon
for gas. Linares, Denise Kitchen, thank you both.
Spirits were high earlier this afternoon as Texans
gather in Corpus Christi to see President Trump,
president with back-to-back rallies today as he
gets out the vote for GOP nominees in the Lone Star State.
And today's Fiona Gison is on the ground
talking to rally goers.
We are Trump supporters and it's a great thing to do. It would make
America great again. I support my president.
I don't care what party they are in, but when you're
the president, you deserve respect and support.
Best president ever. Why is he the best president
ever. His policies he closed the border
that's exactly why I voted for him and
he's doing exactly what I want.
And you're just like wow pumped up in the
last rally I was dancing out of it
in the dance of Trump's dance and you know
you just get pumped up.
We're super excited to see Trump also we've seen him
before but you can never see him enough.
You know we want to keep our freedoms
want to keep our rights you know you
know I just support everything Trump
supports and I think he's doing a great job in office. He just really
appreciates the American people that support him
and he shows it and he's he's just working really
hard. I support President Trump
because I know that he loves this country and he's fighting for
every single one of us.
Rallygoers saying they support the president because they've seen real
changes in their lives from his policies.
I grew up on the border and what was has been going on
there in the last six years, five years,
was horrible until he came back and shut it down.
Really very honorable to see that,
that our president in the highest office
recognizes and honors our veterans.
He's helped with the 401ks, he's helped with Social Security,
and he's made America great again.
Lowering prescription prices, that's a wonderful thing,
especially for us seniors.
He's brought in so many companies that are going to build here
and bring back our industries.
And we're getting back to what America really was.
Supporters say promises made, promises kept.
And as election day continues to near,
voters are saying Americans need to vote against socialist policies
and remember American
traditions. If you read all of him,
the logic that he does is unbelievable. He's a chess
master he has ahead of everyone you know the oil deals
if you really look and study it's amazing
i believe he's protecting our country people
are complaining about um the war but we can't allow
them to have a nuclear weapon
and take for instance my social security i make an if they
take half of that then give it to somebody else
because they don't want to work and i worked my
butt off for 40 years. How about I take half of your paycheck
and give it to me? And you have to
live on half of that to pay all your bills, your gas and all that.
Since I was little, my dad would
say, let's go vote. And Democrats just go all the way down, Democrats.
And so many years, I'm 72 and
nothing had changed for me. I'm still the same.
But this president is doing the right thing.
All you have to do is take a look at the history books
and see what socialism and communism has
done in the past and even currently in some of those countries
and so if you if you even look
back and if our kids got history lessons
on those then maybe they would see that that is not um
that's not the way we want to go they're just looking
for free free free and nothing in life
is free you might get the free groceries
but you're going to give up a lot to get those things
look at the countries that have tried
to do that and it hasn't worked it's not going to work here
in America either. I'm a Texan by choice,
and an American by choice, so I certainly want to protect
what we have. People who always had it don't appreciate it.
Why do you think it's so important
to protect these American values?
Because that's what our country was founded on, and it's worked
for 250 years. If it's not broke, don't fix it.

I'm Steve Lance.
Happening now, President Trump taking the stage
at a campaign rally in Lubbock, Texas.
He's there to support Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton.
we'll take
you to the
president
right
now one
million
barrels
of oil
a gift from
Venezuela
that we give into Texas by the way i like to keep it
but i don't think that works that way
no we're respected all over the world we were left
that just a short time ago we're respected
all over the world a lot different than it
was two years ago it's great to be back
in this incredible state
which i won all three times with more
of Texas are going to defeat
democrat communist James
Calfrico Governor we're going
to re-elect dad pattern governor thank you
it's up and down the line and most importantly we're going
to elect one of the greatest attorney
generals in the entire country
and frankly the greatest Ken Paxton
thank you Ben there's one week left
i've been doing this stuff for a week
and a half two weeks i did more rallies than i've ever done
for myself it's much easier you know when you
do it for yourself i know this guy it's like i'm
doing with Ken we had
so many wars that we successfully fought together but i do go and
do stuff with people i don't know that well
but i like this because you know what he was he deserves
it he was the best attorney general in the history
of texas one of the best anywhere in this country
and the other guy does not deserve it he doesn't represent your values
and as soon as that election
would be over i don't even want to say the words if he won
because i can't believe it's even
possible but you'll go off meat you go off oil you'll
be letting millions and millions of people
flow through your border and you'll
also have no second amendment if him and his group you will
have no second amendment it'll be destroyed
so every single person has to go out and vote you
have to you just have to go out and vote
and early voting is underway it ends friday october 30th so
you can do early voting make sure it counts i
always say make sure it counts we know because we
had you know we won three times we're only giving credit
for two we did great all three times but
the last time we made it too big to rig they couldn't
do that they tried i don't use that
statement anymore because last week i saw kamala
remember kamala nobody knows her last name no she
she said she was being interviewed
and she said no we have to make the election too big to rig
She said my line, I can't.
They copy all my lines, it's horrible.
But I'm asking you to pretend I'm on the ballot,
because when I'm on the ballot, we get 49% more people show up
and just pretend, because I really am on the ballot.
You know, the people, 49.2% if I'm on,
and I really, when you think of it, we're all on the ballot,
because they can take all of these incredible tax cuts
and all of the things we did.
The jobs are the number one.
And we have more jobs right now in the United States
of America than ever before by a lot.
All of this stuff can evaporate with incompetent people.
So if you go out and vote, we're going
to have a tremendous win in Texas.
And you cannot have a guy like Salafrico
because it's not even a question.
We can't lose the votes.
It's very close.
And they can turn things.
Now, I'll be vetoing like crazy, okay?
But I'd rather work on the positive side
as opposed to the negative side.
So James Salafrico wants to get rid of your guns.
He wants to get rid of your oil.
He wants to get rid of your meat.
He can't stand the stuff.
I believe one of two reasons.
Either he had a mental problem when he disappeared for 12 to 14 days,
or he was just grossed out, sick to his stomach, and having to eat meat
because he never had meat before.
all of a sudden they see him going to barbecues all over
the place he's all over he's at so many
barbecues and he's throwing up all over
the place he's leaving i believe he probably got very sick
he called it he called it meat poisoning
no but you ever hear the guy for his whole life he's
talking about he's a vegan i used to say vegan
but my wife said it's not bacon it's vegan but
he's been all all his life he eats lettuce
and celery and then he gets forced for the vote
I think it sounds like you have
a paid protester
paid protester wow
your law enforcement acts very
quickly no we uh he's not the guy
for you he doesn't represent
your value and we can't take
a chance can't say he's I've never seen anybody well maybe
the guy up in Michigan I call him
Mohammed he goes by Abdul Abdul Ramadan I call him
Mohammed then I found out his name was actually
His middle name is Mohammed.
No, he's, I would say he's changed, I would think, equally as much.
These are people, we can't have these people in the United States.
With him, I don't know if we have to do it with Telefrico,
but with the guy up in Michigan,
we're going to have to do the, you know, the test,
the metal detector test before he's allowed to sit every day.
He's going to have to go through
a metal detector in the United States Congress.
We have people that should not be running for politics in this country.
and we're never going to allow sharia law in
this country but no politician in history has
been more obsessed with turning young boys
and girls into just they want them to be he wants
them to be transgender he considers them fantastic
and you know i said before we just came up from
corpus christi we did one of these before where
do i do i have to like the state a lot to do two
of these monster rallies and to be more accurate
I have to like a candidate a lot to do two of
these now, but Balfourico stated that he loves
transgender children and that's all right look
that's not, but you know these children if you check it out
and see what happens they take them
as young children and Timmy leaves home
and comes back Sarah and you know oftentimes most of the
time they turn 21, 22, 23 and they said
who did this to me, who did this to me they say it and
nobody talks about it the fake news that's a lot
of fake news by the way that's a lot I know every
single one of them no but some of them are good some
of them are good they're honorable about
6.2 percent of them that's a lot congratulations
every I hope you're enjoying yourself we can't
allow this we can't allow this to happen
to our country he's attended sexualized drag shows for
kids and he even said he is the favorite drag queen he knew
the names of every drag queen he
was did you see where they were said
who's your favorite well I like about nine of them but he
starts rattling off names I don't know of any
and not only did he state that God is transgender
gendered yeah this is what he said he actually said
that if Jesus Christ himself came and visited
the Texas legislature Jesus would be promoting
sex changes for little children so look at this
it's not good take a look did they teach you
in Sunday school that Jesus Christ himself
was a radical feminist the American flag
is such a complicated symbol for most of us god
is both masculine and feminine and everything in between.
God is non-binary. You can't call
yourself a Christian and reject the stranger seeking asylum
at our center. I want to acknowledge
that our trans community needs abortion care too.
There are many more than two biological sexes. In
fact, there are six. For me,
prophetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon with my own
whiteness our southern border should be like
our front porch there should be a giant welcome mat
out front something that you love i love
the trans children to the trans kids watching at home
i just want to say i love you what would Jesus
do if he visited the Texas legislature
i think he would tell us blessed are the trans children oh
who's your favorite drag queen in
What if we ran our world like we run a kindergarten classroom?
Every one of our neighbors with a uterus just became
the property of the state.
God is not a Christian.
I always think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity.
Prison is violence.
It's rich to me that defund the police is considered off limits.
We all know that Texas has been a leader in oil and gas,
But in many ways, that's like being a leader in cassette tapes.
It is now existential that we try to reduce our meat consumption.
Our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign.
So there's something that's been stolen from the table.
Absolutely.
All these ideologies stem from this Christofascism movement.
We are trying to fundamentally change our politics.
The misunderstanding between
Texas and this raging, disturbed
person is a disturbed person.
is a man named President Donald J. Trump,
and I need the help of campaign State's Senate.
So, Talofrico is also an anti-gun extremist
who has an F rating from the NRA.
You know what F means?
That means we don't allow any guns to anybody under any circumstances.
What are you going to do when you get that vote?
What are you going to do?
Who will willingly, from Texas, give up their gun?
Please tell me.
he supports banning the most popular firearms in america
and voted to support a federal gun
registry to confiscate your guns
and stop all ammunition sales as your senator ken paxton will
have only one thing to say to any democrat
who wants to destroy your second amendment it's called
go take a hike go take a hike term he uses he uses
that term often if talafrico gets in he'll
immediately vote to open the floodgates
to millions of illegal aliens child predators
brutal killers pouring
into texas just like they did just two years ago so two years ago
there's never been anything like it 25 million people during
the biden term at least in my
opinion i think they hold it down 25 they came
in totally unchecked totally unvetted nobody knew
anything about them but you could see
when they were coming in these were not oftentimes very
nice people i have to always say oftentimes
but right here in texas shortly before my election
12 year old jocelyn nungry this beautiful jocelyn
remember how sad walked to a convenience store in
Houston and she was kidnapped tied up assaulted
and horrifically murdered violently charged with
this heinous crime are two illegal alien members
of the savage gang Tren de Aragua animals released
by democrats under the policies of Talifrico
and his supporters they that's what they want to do
they want to release murderers no cash bail
by the way don't worry about it i promised the people
of Texas that I would deliver justice for Jocelyn.
And since I took office, we've rounded
up, arrested and deported thousands
and thousands of trend.
got them from all across our country
They say it's the worst gang anywhere in the world.
The only thing good is that they make
our gangs look like nice people.
You know, do you remember when Obama used to say those
people aren't violent? People that come
into the country aren't violent. They're the most
the violent people we've ever seen.
Jocelyn's mother joined us earlier today in Corpus Christi,
and tonight we're honored to be joined
by the president of the National Border Patrol,
Council Paul Perez, as we salute the heroes of ICE,
Border Patrol, and law enforcement.
Paul, please come up. He is a fantastic guy. Please come up.
President
Trump,
Lubbock,
Texas is my
hometown.
Lubbock, Texas, I told President Trump,
this is Trump country.
But what I want to say to you today is that because
of this great president standing here today,
the border is secure.
For 29 years
and under five
presidents,
I've been out
there securing
this border.
And no one has given us the support that President Trump has given us.
Everybody talked about it,
but only one president did it.
That's President Trump.
We all love
Trump.
In order to make sure that our country never goes through
what it went through under the Sleepy Joe administration,
we must elect these men here that are Republicans running for office.
They are the only ones that stand for law and order.
Ken Paxton, Dan Patrick, Mays Middleton, Brandon
Gill, Ronnie Jackson, Tom Sell, Justin Burrows.
These people have to be elected to make sure
that President Trump's agenda can continue.
Because without President Trump, this country will go to hell again.
President Trump is by far the greatest president
in the history of this country.
Thank you, President Trump.
Get him up
to speak
more
often.
That was
pretty
good.
That was pretty good. Thank you.
And he's fantastic.
You know, when we had the border,
that's Kamala, nobody knows her last name.
does anybody know her last name? Very few. Harris.
but we had Kamala and she was put in charge by
sleepy Joe Biden of the border and I spoke to Paul before
and I said did she ever call you? No.
four years did she ever come to the border?
no and they had a border that was an open wound that's
what it was it allowed criminals from countries all over
the world they allowed their jails their
prison population to be emptied out
into our country murderers drug dealers mentally insane
people they'll never happen again we're never gonna let
that happen again we're getting them
out we're getting them out but we'll never let it we'll never let
that happen again in breaking news
just last week i was amazed to hear
it was revealed essentially
that Ilhan Omar so her name
This is the name, Ilhan Omar, the one she used to get elected
and sworn into Congress, but rather, it's an entirely different name.
She didn't use her right name, it seems, and Ilhan Nur Syed Elmi
is her name, and it's quite a difference, by the way.
And the last name is incredibly also the exact name of her brother,
Ahmed Nur Saeed Elmi, the person they said she married and had lovely,
lovely children with.
And when asked whether or not she married her brother,
she said, not to my knowledge, not to my knowledge.
I said before at Corpus Christi
They asked me that question about my sister
Did you ever marry your sister?
I said no
That's a legal expression here, not to my knowledge
When you're going to lie but you're afraid you're going to get caught
The lawyers tell you to say not to my knowledge
That's what she did
Therefore because she used a fake name to be sworn in
I assume she will immediately resign from Congress
Resign
and hop the first plane
if they have an airport
I don't even know if they have any
she's going to hop the first plane to Somalia
where she can live happily ever after
I watched
this one come up
so she comes from a country
that's got nothing
it's considered one of the worst couple of countries in the world
I can't think of a couple of bad ones
and now we learn
because we took a lot of people in
you know we always
remember I made the statement
we have some bad countries
they seem to like to come into the United States
we don't like that
we ended all of that
you know we ended all terrible some terrible countries
but hers is about the worst all they
do is go around they have essentially
no government all they do is go around kill
people all day long pirate ships kill people i'm
surprised they can pirate the ship they can only
do it because our laws
are so foolish don't please don't ever shoot back can you believe it
but she was uh from somalia and she came over
and right away as soon as she started opening her mouth
i have constitutional rights i have constitutional
and i don't like the way this country is being
run she comes from a country with no government
no council no police no anything it's not even
a country it's just a piece of land and she comes here
and she tells us how to run the united states
of america it's
not gonna happen she goes i have constitutional
rights right little the arrogance
And you know who else is really arrogant?
The guy from Michigan. I've been watching him.
I call him Mohammed. It's Abdul Mohammed.
I called him Mohammed, not knowing his middle
name was Mohammed, so I almost got it right.
But I'd always call him Mohammed. He said,
why does he keep calling me Mohammed?
I said, you know what? Because I'm president
of the United States. I can call you whatever the hell I want.
And that guy is arrogant.
I watched him being interviewed.
How dare you ask me that question? I do that too with reporters,
but with him, I don't know.
With me, I think it's a little bit softer. No, he's an arrogant guy,
and we're not going to let him be.
We're not going to let him be in the United States Senate.
Working with Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz is not thrilled.
Are you thrilled to be having him? No,
we're not going to let you have him.
No, he's a disaster. Hopefully, he's going to lose.
We have some big races going on.
This race, that race, we have a lot of big ones,
and i think you're gonna
be pleasantly surprised on tuesday
they're coming home they're coming home
they're not gonna let our country be destroyed
by these radical jihadists these horrible people
please inform the speaker of the house
of representatives you didn't know his name his
first name was actually james he's
a great speaker actually james michael johnson that
the Democrat Party has just conceded her seat.
She's going to be out. Ilhan Omar, Saeed Almi,
her real name, has openly admitted to fraud,
and she will not be legally allowed to be a member of
that august body any longer.
So less than two years ago,
the radical left Democrats handed us
the dark age of America, but we quickly turned it around,
and we are right now in the golden age of
america this is the golden
age and no other president has ever accomplished so much in such a short
period of time you know what we've done is amazing
because it's really even a long way from two years
we achieved the most secure border in american history
in the past 17 months and this is done
by people that lean left okay they lean left
to put it mildly they do these stats zero illegal
aliens have been admitted to the united states government
and we've achieved the largest drop
in violent crime ever recorded with a murder rate
at the lowest level in 125 years since 1900
think of it and that's despite the fact that we've had
a lot of people brought into our country 11
888 murderers many of which committed more than one murder
with all of that we've gotten a lot
of them out we're getting them all out we'll get
them all out toughest thing i have you know we
brought inflation way down i inherited the worst inflation
in american history and we have it way
down now and when the war ends it'll end very quickly
and we win that one just like we won in
Venezuela, we are winning here very strongly, it could
be over whenever i want it to be over
somebody asked me before
when will the war in Iran end i said whenever i want it to end
It'll be very quick, but we have to have it end properly with total
and complete, a total statement, they will never have a nuclear weapon.
Number one state sponsor of terror will never have a nuclear weapon.
But in much less than two years, we secured commitments
for $22.2 trillion of new investments into the United States,
the greatest amount of money ever invested
in any country at any time by many times.
Not even close.
and thanks to my tariffs the tariffs my favorite word i always say it
but i had to change it to
fifth favorite you've heard me say this i said it's
a favorite word it's made us rich it's brought
all this money pouring in because if they move
their factories their plants everything here they
don't have any tariffs to pay
so they're all pouring in from Canada Mexico Japan South Korea
China every place they're all building here
this should have been done a long time ago
But it's made our country rich.
It also keeps our factories going.
They're not stealing us anymore because if they do, they have to pay
a big price if they want to make our products outside like Mexico.
They make a car, use very cheap labor.
It's okay.
I mean, that's the way it is.
And they'd sell it into our country with no tariff.
And all our car companies were going out of business.
That doesn't happen anymore.
Now they're all moving out of Mexico, coming here.
Because if they don't, they have to pay a 25% to 50% tariff.
They're all coming in.
In fact, it was just announced that Audi, the Audi,
Audi, Audi, is spending $40 billion on a new plant.
Toyota is spending $4 billion on a new...
They're all pouring into our country, jobs.
But think of it, it's $22.2 trillion with a T.
We've never had anything.
It's five times greater than the highest amount we've ever taken in.
And some of those people know it exactly,
but they don't want to talk about it.
They don't.
And what it means is wealth for our country.
We've never created
so much wealth as we have in the last year and a half.
Trillions of dollars.
Apple, as an example, is investing $600
billion in this country, 60 of it in Texas.
Apple. They always made their product in China, right?
They made everything in China.
Now they're investing $600 billion in the United States,
$60 billion in your great state that I
love. You know that Apple, I mean,
the one big knock that everything gets made in China. Not
anymore. They're going to be,
a lot of it's going to be made, big percentage of theirs.
Can you imagine $600 billion worth of plants?
You know, a $50 million shopping center of which I
built plenty that's a nice size center 500 million
is big how about 60 billion dollars worth of
plants that's what it is and Texas Instruments
is investing 46 billion dollars in chip production
in your state and we have 800 billion dollars being invested
in our country to make and produce
chips and it'll take it away from Taiwan
and we'll have close to 50 percent from zero close to 50
percent of the chip business because they don't want to play
and that was President Trump speaking
