Transcript - Speech: Donald Trump Holds a Campaign Rally in Newport News, Virginia - September 25, 2020 | Factba.se

Donald Trump

00:00:00 - 00:00:42 (42 sec)

Thank you very much. Hello, Newport News. I know it well, I know it well. I know it well. You know, my father and I had a couple of little jobs here and they were great. When the ships came in, they were packed. When the ships went out, they were stone-cold empty. I said this is a different kind of place, but we loved it and it's a great place.

Donald Trump

00:00:42 - 00:01:19 (37 sec)

And I'm thrilled to be back in the Commonwealth of Virginia with the thousands of loyal, hardworking American patriots. And they also want to thank the great people of North Carolina, who's here from North Carolina? Not bad, it's a little area there. Thirty-nine days from now, we're going to win Virginia, we're going to win North Carolina, we're going to win four more years in the White House, and keep doing what we've been doing because it's never been anything quite like it. [Break in Audio]

Donald Trump

00:01:19 - 00:01:28 (10 sec)

We're going to win four more years in the White House, and keep doing what we've been doing because it's never been anything quite like it.

Donald Trump

00:01:28 - 00:01:55 (27 sec)

This is the most important election in the history of our country. One of the biggest issues for the people of Virginia is your Second Amendment. [Audience responds "Yeah"] And if sleepy Joe Biden wins, your Second Amendment will be eliminated and your firearms will be confiscated, [Audience Boos] whether you like it or not.

Donald Trump

00:01:55 - 00:02:20 (25 sec)

When asked if a Biden administration was coming after your guns, Biden replied, yes, he totally had to say, yes. [Audience Boos] He promised to put the gun grabber, Beto O'Rourke, you know Beto, Beto. [Audience Boos] Remember Beto? He was on the cover of a third-rate magazine and he said I was born to run for President, that was the end of his run.

Donald Trump

00:02:20 - 00:03:03 (44 sec)

That's when it ended, any time they say they were born to do it. They got problems. That didn't work out. It was a steep drop, but he put Beto in charge of his assault and your guns and you know what happened with Beto, Beto went crazy. He wants to take your guns away. Biden vows to impose punishing taxes on gun owners, outlaw many of the most popular firearms in America, create a national gun registry, and wage the most aggressive war on gun rights in U.S. history. [Audience Boos] Biden will disarm law-abiding Americans, and at the same time, they'll have riots down your street and that's just fine.

Donald Trump

00:03:03 - 00:03:24 (21 sec)

That's OK. That's OK according to [Break in Audio] so I was told not to go for Virginia. We did really well last time and I never came and never did anything, and we did really well. I said why didn't I go for Virginia? But it's traditionally not a Republican state over the last number of decades, and I said why not?

Donald Trump

00:03:24 - 00:03:57 (32 sec)

You have a crazy Governor [Audience Boos] and every time I see it, every two weeks, he's trying to take your guns away, right? And he'll attack constantly right to life, and you know he's so far left, he doesn't even talk about late-term. He talks about after the baby was born, [Audience Boos] which is the first time I ever heard of that.

Donald Trump

00:03:57 - 00:04:25 (28 sec)

You hear late-term, but he said that after the baby is born, we'll start talking to the mother. In other words, he's talking about execution of the baby, execution. [Audience Boos] You have a Governor that thinks he's Michael Jackson, remember, his wife saved him. Remember he wanted to prove that he was just dressed up like Michael Jackson and that he sometimes thought when he was young, that he resembled Michael Jackson.

Donald Trump

00:04:25 - 00:04:51 (26 sec)

I don't think so. And do you remember he wanted to moonwalk across the stage? And his wife said, no, no, don't do it, darling, don't please, darling. Nobody moonwalks like Michael. That would have been good. I wish I could have seen that. That would not have been pretty. So based on your Governor and based on the fact that he's always -- you never -- every like month, you're fighting for guns.

Donald Trump

00:04:51 - 00:05:30 (39 sec)

If I'm not here, your Second Amendment is gone and I'm talking about all over the country, forget about just Virginia. So I said let's give Virginia a shot. We're nearby, right? I even said we'll bring in the heavy artillery, we'll bring in our great Vice President, Mike Pence. Did he do a good job? [Audience responds "Yeah"] I'll tell you what, Kamala, Kamala [Audience Boos] is no Mike Pence.

Donald Trump

00:05:30 - 00:06:01 (30 sec)

She's no Mike Pence. No, he's great, he's done a fantastic job, and he's with you all the way. So I said let's give it a shot and you know there's a big difference. I'll tell what, there's never been a bigger difference between candidates or parties. Never been -- no party that supports as an example, what he would do to a child after it was born, is fit to be even involved in any way in this nation, let alone running this nation.

Donald Trump

00:06:01 - 00:06:21 (20 sec)

As you know, sleepy Joe Biden endorsed your Governor, so that means he endorsed the policy of your Governor. That means -- that means he endorsed -- [Audience Boos] he endorsed breaking up your Second Amendment. So it will either be totally broken up or it will be, you know, wiped out. Essentially, it won't be that much different.

Donald Trump

00:06:21 - 00:06:53 (33 sec)

So here we are in Virginia like -- like I had nothing to do today. I woke up at 6:00 in the morning, I read some papers, oh, I read the fake news. [Audience Boos] And then, I was in Florida early in the morning and then I went to Florida and we did a big roundtable with the Hispanics. They were great and then we flew to Atlanta from Florida, Palm Beach.

Donald Trump

00:06:53 - 00:07:13 (20 sec)

And then, we flew -- we started off in all different places. We were all -- and then we flew, we went to Miami, we started off -- but I'll tell you what, Florida's great. We're going to win Florida. We're way up in Florida, way up, way up. Even a poll that gave me -- I mean, I've never had a good number.

Donald Trump

00:07:13 - 00:07:41 (28 sec)

ABC, Washington Post poll, it's a terrible poll, always been bad. I think it got everything wrong four years ago. They said I'm four up or more, but I'm four up in the state of Florida. So anyway, so we went to Miami, went to a beautiful place actually in Miami. You know where that is, right? And we had -- we had -- I wouldn't say because then they'll say I'm advertising if I do, that's the fake news.

Donald Trump

00:07:41 - 00:08:09 (28 sec)

I won't say, I won't say the name of the place, but it is beautiful. And then what happened is, we went to Atlanta and we -- so we left the great Hispanics. We call them the Latinos for Trump, Latino, where we are polling at numbers that, I guess, no Republican has ever polled before. Perhaps Abraham Lincoln, but in those days, he wasn't big into the Hispanic movement I think.

Donald Trump

00:08:09 - 00:08:45 (36 sec)

Abraham had other things to think about, don't we think? But, uh, I will say this, nobody has done more for many communities, but I always say, for the Black community. Nobody has done more for the Black community than Donald Trump since Abraham Lincoln, nobody. So we flew to Atlanta and we had an unbelievable two hours, and this was with the African-American community, the Black community.

Donald Trump

00:08:45 - 00:09:03 (18 sec)

I would say what do you like better? Tell me what you like better? They say usually the Black community and what is the answer, tell me, African-American? I'm not listening -- I don't want to hear from other people, I want to hear -- African-American, what do you like better, African-American or Black community?

Donald Trump

00:09:03 - 00:09:29 (26 sec)

It's black, You know, that's what we hear. I'll go with whatever you want. That's your choice. We can choose either one. I'll go with whatever you want. We had really a great -- we had a great two hours, incredible people, Herschel Walker introduced me, serious, serious guy. We had a lot of champion fighters, a lot of great people, it was an amazing time.

Donald Trump

00:09:29 - 00:09:45 (16 sec)

And then we flew to Washington where we had a roundtable. And then I say, well, that's it for the night, right? You know, this starts at 6:00 in the morning. So I said that's it for the night, is that it? I'll go back home to the White House. No, sir. Well, I wonder what -- you're going to Virginia, sir.

Donald Trump

00:09:45 - 00:10:07 (22 sec)

Oh, good. Oh, that's good. Thank you very much. This was like -- I asked a question about an hour ago, where am I going now? Put me in coach, do you ever hear the expression? Just wind me up and put me in coach. I said where are we going tonight? I said, uh, let's go back to the White House, let's see our first lady.

Donald Trump

00:10:07 - 00:10:18 (12 sec)

And they said, no, sir, you have a rally schedule, you have a rally schedule. Where is it? In Virginia. I said, oh, that's good. How many people? They said a hell of a lot of people that's a -- [Audience chants "USA"] [Audience chants "Four more years"] Well, I wouldn't. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

Donald Trump

00:10:18 - 00:10:49 (30 sec)

When you have rallies like this, you don't forget them. You don't forget them. [Audience chants "Four more years"] Thank you, go ahead. [Audience chants "Four more years"] So we're going to put a heavy play in for Virginia. Seriously, we're going to put a heavy play in Virginia and I think we can win the state.

Donald Trump

00:10:49 - 00:11:23 (34 sec)

Man, that crowd is big, look at that. It goes way back to the hangar. That is a big crowd, that's big. You know, I always tell the cameras. I don't want to bore people with this, but I implore them, turn the cameras around and show them the size of this crowd. It goes back to the building, but they never liked doing it because they don't like -- including Fox, they don't like showing big crowds, they don't. They don't like showing big crowds.

Donald Trump

00:11:23 - 00:11:49 (26 sec)

We left Ohio, we're way up in Ohio, way up in Ohio. We're way up in Georgia. We were in Georgia today with the Governor and the Senator. Senator Perdue and we were, uh, your [Inaudible] Representative Doug Collins, great guy; Kelly Loeffler, great person, Senator, and Senator Perdue. And I said, how are we doing?

Donald Trump

00:11:49 - 00:12:08 (19 sec)

They said you're winning by a lot in Georgia. Of course, if you see these people, they'll say he's pretty close in Georgia, too close to call. And then when election night comes, the polls in Georgia are closed, Donald Trump has won the state of Georgia. You know, you only win if you're up by like a lot.

Donald Trump

00:12:08 - 00:12:35 (27 sec)

If you're up by a lot, they announced it immediately. That was how it happened with Texas last time. They said Texas is too close to call, all for months and months and months. The only ones that didn't believe that were the people in Texas. So when it closed, they said the polls in Texas are closed, Donald Trump has won the state, like in the same breath.

Donald Trump

00:12:35 - 00:13:04 (29 sec)

No, we're doing great in Texas, we're doing great all over the place, we're doing great all over. I hear we're, I hear we're up in New Hampshire, which is great. Last time, that one got taken away from us with the people that just came in with buses all over the place. They had buses coming up from Massachusetts.

Donald Trump

00:13:04 - 00:13:22 (18 sec)

You have the RINO Governor, you know the RINO Governor of Massachusetts. That's right, Baker. [Audience Boos] He's a RINO, but I guess, he does whatever he can to get elected. The Democrat party is now run by socialists and Marxists, who want to destroy our laws, our values, and want to destroy your way of life.

Donald Trump

00:13:22 - 00:13:52 (30 sec)

To uphold our Constitution as written tomorrow, I will be announcing my nominee to the United States Supreme Court. [Audience chants "Fill that seat"] Fill that seat. Oh, we're going to fill it, don't worry about it. And the Republicans have been very unified, you see that, very unified. Even a couple of people that normally don't vote for -- with us, usually don't vote with the Republicans, but they are and we have tremendous unity in the party.

Donald Trump

00:13:52 - 00:14:17 (25 sec)

Mitch is doing a good job. Kevin is doing a good job. We're going to take over the House. We're going to take back the House. People are tired of crazy Nancy, they're tired. We want to get some stimulus out, she doesn't want to give it. She just as does -- only big for political reasons, not your fault. Do you know whose fault it is?

Donald Trump

00:14:17 - 00:14:42 (25 sec)

China's fault, that's whose fault it is, that's whose fault it is. But you know, it's an amazing thing because the Democrats are saying, well, it's the end of a term and because it -- you know, we have a lot of time left. Think -- think of this. If it were them, don't forget, we don't have to do it by the election, but we should be ease -- really able.

Donald Trump

00:14:42 - 00:15:07 (24 sec)

That would be a great victory, going into the election with that biggest of all victories. You know they say, the biggest thing you can do is the appointment of judges, but especially, the appointment of Supreme Court justices. That's the single biggest thing a President can do because it sets the tone of the country for 40 years, 50 years, I mean a long time.

Donald Trump

00:15:07 - 00:15:24 (18 sec)

So we're going to be announcing somebody great. I just think that you know there -- I just watched. The great thing about Air Force One, there are more televisions on that plane than any plane. They got them in every room and you open up for closet, you want to share it. Let me [Inaudible] it's a television.

Donald Trump

00:15:24 - 00:15:48 (24 sec)

And I'm watching the Democrats saying how terrible it is that we're pointing -- we have the right. We won the election, right? Then we have the right, we won the election. And we have a lot of time and if they were in our position, they would do the same thing. Maybe they would just do it more rapidly, OK, more rapidly.

Donald Trump

00:15:48 - 00:16:18 (29 sec)

No, so, tomorrow, I think, is going to be a big day, five o'clock tomorrow at the White House, we're going to be naming the nominee. Hopefully, we'll be on that court for 50 years, five-o, 50, 50, be on there for 50 years. The only thing I can tell you for sure is, it will be a woman. Is that OK? [Audience responds "Yeah"] Does anybody have any objections to that? [Audience responds "No"] Please, please raise your hand, a lot of cowards out there.

Donald Trump

00:16:18 - 00:16:40 (22 sec)

Look at you men. I don't see how -- there's not one man here that has the guts to raise your hand, not one. If given the power, the radical left will pack the Supreme Court with extremists who will strike the words under God from the Pledge of Allegiance as they did twice. [Audience Boos] I heard their Pledge of Allegiance, they had it in their caucus.

Donald Trump

00:16:40 - 00:17:10 (30 sec)

I'm watching I said, oh, they made a mistake. I said to the first lady, darling, they made a mistake. They left the words under God out. And then I heard it a second time and they made the same mistake. I said this is strange. This is like the guys on the Mueller team that clean their phones right? [Audience Boos] Thirty-one phones and they said, oh, we made a mistake and they all made the exact same mistake.

Donald Trump

00:17:10 - 00:17:29 (19 sec)

The odds of that are a billion to one, right? They all made, oh, they got caught. Did you see what's going on? Oh, they got caught, gee, I feel sorry. That's a -- that's a shame. [Audience chants "Lock them up"] Yeah, they should be. I'll tell you, they should be. They're crooked people, they're crooked people.

Donald Trump

00:17:29 - 00:17:54 (25 sec)

So they cleaned up their phones. Hillary took their phones and smashed them. She took 33,000 e-mails and deleted them after Congress requested them, and I think they're looking at that, too. I think so, I think so. Can you imagine? I have a friend, he's very smart, rich guy, made a lot of money, but he's a very streetwise guy.

Donald Trump

00:17:54 - 00:18:11 (18 sec)

He said, you know, you've been under investigation by these thieves and they're smart. They just weren't smart when they all used the same exact method to clean their phone. That wasn't smart you know. At least put it in a little bit different -- 31 different phones. Like what is it, 21 people, 31 phones?

Donald Trump

00:18:11 - 00:18:30 (19 sec)

But that's OK, that's OK. That's only illegal, that's only illegal. But this friend of mine said, you know, they've gone through everything. They've gone through your taxes, they've gone through your financials, they've gone through everything. You have to be the most honest guy in the world and they come up, no collusion.

Donald Trump

00:18:30 - 00:18:50 (19 sec)

Oh, they wanted -- if they found -- if they found anything. No, it's a bad group of people headed by Robert Mueller. [Audience Boos] A bad group of people who wanted the job at the FBI, but he lied to Congress. He said he didn't say that, but he did. I mean he did. We have all the proof, so he is in the same group you know.

Donald Trump

00:18:50 - 00:19:10 (21 sec)

But they're actually in worse shape because at least with Mueller, you can say he probably didn't know what the hell he was doing, sort of like Joe Biden. I figure about -- about the same. Does that make sense? Is anybody under -- how would you like to -- you're getting a divorce or something and you say I got to be represented by Bob Mueller.

Donald Trump

00:19:10 - 00:19:31 (21 sec)

Do you think so? You saw his performance in Congress, right? I want to be represented by Bob Mueller. No, it's the same thing. How can we have Joe Biden representing this country? [Audience Boos] And you know, he's -- he's on the lid. You know the lid, right? The lid is what they say, we're going to put a lid on it.

Donald Trump

00:19:31 - 00:19:50 (19 sec)

So I guess it means probably what it's supposed -- I have no idea, lid. It's a lid, but it's an expression. And every day early in the morning they say, Joe -- Joe, I mean Joe Biden, sleepy Joe, he's put a lid on it. Sir, Biden has put a lid on it. What does that mean? That means he's not working today. This guy takes more days off.

Donald Trump

00:19:50 - 00:20:21 (30 sec)

You have to have a President that's going to work his ass off for this country. You need energy, you need a very energetic President. They said how do you think he's going to do in the debate? I think good. He's been doing it for 47 years. I think he's going to do good, I think. And one thing we know, if he does just OK, just OK, they're going to say, the fake news, they're going to say it was the single greatest debate performance in history.

Donald Trump

00:20:21 - 00:20:42 (21 sec)

It was unbelievable, far better than Winston Churchill in his prime. Winston Churchill was nothing compared to sleepy Joe. So you know that, if he finishes the debate -- if he finishes, which I think he will and he might even do well, but if he does, well, they're going to say it's the greatest debate -- and they have it already written.

Donald Trump

00:20:42 - 00:21:02 (20 sec)

They have a couple of scenarios. If he does really poorly, they're going to say he wasn't bad, he wasn't bad. If he does modestly, well, like he did against Bernie, they were sort of even. If he does like that, they'll say it was the greatest performance in history. But with your vote, I will preserve our Constitution and ensure law and order.

Donald Trump

00:21:02 - 00:21:30 (29 sec)

Joe Biden is weak. He surrendered his party to the flag burners, the rioters, the anti-police, anarchists, the radicals. [Audience Boos] All these guys running around these -- these Democrat-run cities and states, look at it, ten out of ten. We could fix up Portland so fast, they have to invite us in. I want to be invited into that one.

Donald Trump

00:21:30 - 00:21:47 (17 sec)

We would fix that like we did Minneapolis. We would fix that up in -- in less than a half an hour. Remember Minneapolis? They were right, I mean the problem is, they invited us in about two weeks. By the time they invited us, it was a lot of flames behind them. Do you remember the reporter, he was standing there?

Donald Trump

00:21:47 - 00:22:24 (37 sec)

This is a peaceful protest and behind him, you have like blocks and looked like Berlin during the war, didn't it? I never saw anything -- this is the craziest thing. It's a peaceful performance, but what we did, we said it's a peaceful protest and we don't call these rallies anymore because in Dem states like where you have a Governor who's a Democrat [Audience Boos] you're not allowed to go to church, you're not allowed to go to a restaurant, you're not allowed to go to your friend's house, you can't move from your house unless you're related to the Governor, then you can do whatever the hell you want.

Donald Trump

00:22:24 - 00:22:50 (26 sec)

You can't do anything, you can't do anything, unless, of course, it's a peaceful protest, OK? And so what we do is, we call these peaceful protests, so we're getting big crowds, 25,000, 30,000, 35,000. There's more enthusiasm now than there was four years ago because we've done a good job, right? There's more now.

Donald Trump

00:22:50 - 00:23:14 (24 sec)

Now, we have more enthusiasm now than we did -- you know it's interesting, don't forget, four years ago, I did a nice job, I was successful, I had a great television show, The Apprentice. It was great, people got to know me a little bit. I said let me run from the time -- the first hour that we came down the escalator, first lady and I down the escalator, her with a white dress, right?

Donald Trump

00:23:14 - 00:23:35 (21 sec)

Very famous escalator right now. People go to take pictures of the escalator, but we came down the escalator, we were in first place, right? We never went -- I never left center stage, right? And that's based on poll numbers if you're the No. 1 poller and I said, look, I want an odd number. I don't want an even number because it -- what is it?

Donald Trump

00:23:35 - 00:24:01 (26 sec)

What are you talking about? I said because that means two people are in the center and that's not fair, so I wanted an odd number. We were in center stage, but we've done a good job. What happened is, I came I said I was going to cut your taxes. We gave you the biggest tax decrease in history, right? I said I was going to cut regulations and we're going to have an incredible economy and regulations were probably even more important than the tax cuts, OK, if you want to know the truth.

Donald Trump

00:24:01 - 00:24:21 (20 sec)

You ask the business people, the great ones, they will tell you if they had a choice, they'll take the regulation cuts and we still have a ways to go with that, but we did that. We rebuilt your military, we added Space Force, I mean what we've done is far more, far more. Right to try, how about right to try?

Donald Trump

00:24:21 - 00:24:45 (23 sec)

I never talked about that. I never talked about it. We knocked out 100% of the ISIS caliphate, right? [Audience responds "Yeah"] We achieved energy independence and we've done it while protecting our very pristine environment by the way. And earlier this month, oh, you're going to be so happy, Virginia and North Carolina.

Donald Trump

00:24:45 - 00:25:12 (27 sec)

Come on, North Carolina, you're going to be so happy. You're going to be cheering like crazy because I think you'll like this, but about a month ago, I signed an order prohibiting offshore drilling on the Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina coast, right, right? And because I happen to like this state a lot, I said what about Virginia?

Donald Trump

00:25:12 - 00:25:34 (22 sec)

What about North Carolina? And somebody said I don't know. I don't know if they'll like it. I said I think they'll like it. So I'm extending the moratorium to North Carolina and Virginia, OK? And if you want to have oil rigs out there, just let me know, we'll take it off. I mean, you know, I can understand that, too.

Donald Trump

00:25:34 - 00:25:52 (18 sec)

I can understand that, too, but I think you want it. So we're extending it to Virginia, we're extending it to North Carolina, up the coast and we're not going to have any problems like can be had, all right? So I think you'll like that. If you don't like it, you can let me know, I'm going to change it. I can change things very easily.

Donald Trump

00:25:52 - 00:26:27 (34 sec)

We built the greatest economy in the history of the world and now, we're quickly doing it again, so I did all of these things. And in doing all these things, you said the second time, well, now, this is actually a much easier campaign in a way. I mean the only problem is, I've been tarred with this horrible witch-hunt for four years and I didn't do it. [Audience Boos] Now think of it, what would my numbers be if I didn't go through almost four years of a Russian witch-hunt that turned out to be just the opposite?

Donald Trump

00:26:27 - 00:26:57 (31 sec)

They were the ones that were involved with Russia. It was a whole big disinformation campaign. Now, what would my numbers be? And with all that we've done and if you didn't hear night after night on fake news CNN and MSDNC [Audience Boos] and the New York Times and The Washington Post. And now it's turning out, not turning out, it's done because if you look at everything that's come out over the last few days, it's -- we caught them, they've been caught.

Donald Trump

00:26:57 - 00:27:19 (22 sec)

They spied on my campaign and they tried for a coup. Can you believe it in this day and age? And we caught him cold, so what would our numbers be? Our numbers, not my numbers, what would my numbers be if every night, every morning, every day, they were saying Russia, Russia, Russia? It turned out to be a total hoax.

Donald Trump

00:27:19 - 00:27:42 (23 sec)

In fact, Biden's son -- it was just revealed two days ago, got $3.5 million from the wife of the Mayor of Moscow. [Audience Boos] Think of it. So -- but I -- really think about that. What would be our -- we did all these incredible things with the economy, with everything, and then we got hit with this virus from China.

Donald Trump

00:27:42 - 00:28:09 (27 sec)

They should never have let it happen, we won't forget it, and we closed up, we saved millions of lives. Now we've opened it. We're opening to records, but what would our popularity be if every day for almost four years, you didn't hear any of this bullshit, OK? What would it be? It's true, it's true. What would it be?

Donald Trump

00:28:09 - 00:28:41 (32 sec)

With all we've done, I think that would be very nice, the Democrats would say, yes, if you'd like we could cancel the election because we have no chance. [Audience Boos] But you know what, hopefully, they have no chance anyway. And hopefully, you're going to remember what I just said because we were unjustly treated, unjustly accused by a bunch of treasonous crooks, a bunch of bad, bad people who got caught, and I think, they'll have to pay a very substantial price.

Donald Trump

00:28:41 - 00:29:07 (26 sec)

When the plague arrived from China, we launched the largest national mobilization since World War II. We pioneered lifesaving therapies, reducing the fatality rate 85% since April. You know, the question was asked to me, how well did we do on the pandemic? And I said I give us an A to an A-plus. You look at the ventilators, you look at all we've done.

Donald Trump

00:29:07 - 00:29:28 (21 sec)

We did a great job. We helped the Governors. The Governors are always very thankful, then, sometimes they'll get in front of a camera, they'll remember some of them are Democrats, right? But I said the only thing we did badly on was public relations because we were working so hard we didn't think -- we -- I think, frankly, they're not going to cover it well no matter what, but we did a hell of a job.

Donald Trump

00:29:28 - 00:29:46 (18 sec)

And they'll compare us to Europe and we did very well. But now that Europe is exploding again, they don't want to talk about it and neither do I because I want Europe -- I want Europe to heal. I want the whole world to heal, but we've done a hell of a job except in public relations, and that's explaining it to people.

Donald Trump

00:29:46 - 00:30:07 (21 sec)

On that, I give us a D, but we got an A-plus in terms of what we've done. Through Operation Warp Speed, we will develop and distribute the vaccine in record time by the end of the year and it could be sooner than that, but we have the greatest labs, the greatest companies of that kind in the world and they are right there, they are right there.

Donald Trump

00:30:07 - 00:30:40 (33 sec)

It's going to be incredible, so it's going to be a great vaccine and we have Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, another one just announced today. These are great, great, great companies. On November 3rd Virginia will decide, whether we end the pandemic and return to record prosperity or whether we allow Joe Biden to kill the recovery, delay, the vaccine, impose a $4 trillion tax hike on you; that's what he wants to do, ban American energy; he wants to ban fracking.

Donald Trump

00:30:40 - 00:30:58 (18 sec)

How about that? He wants to ban fracking, then, he locks into the nomination. You know he shouldn't have gotten it because if Pocahontas left them two days early, Bernie would have won, and we would have had Bernie. I don't know who I would have been better against, maybe, who knows, but we would have had radical Bernie.

Donald Trump

00:30:58 - 00:31:16 (18 sec)

But we're going to get a lot of Bernie votes like we did last time because his people agree with us on trade, except we're better at it than he is. So we're going to get a lot of the Bernie votes, boy, Bernie takes a hard shot. This is twice it happened and he has such a nice attitude between him -- and how about Bloomberg?

Donald Trump

00:31:16 - 00:31:38 (22 sec)

Bloomberg gets absolutely decimated in the debate, right? [Audience Boos] Mini Mike, mini Mike, mini Mike, he gets decimated. And in order to get back with the Democrat party, I'm going to put $100 million into Florida. If I were him, I'd just -- just take a pass. He doesn't have to give us anything. We don't need his money.

Donald Trump

00:31:38 - 00:32:01 (23 sec)

Just take a pass you know. So he wants to buy his way into the Democrats and so he's going down to Florida, it's -- but unfortunately, he did something that wasn't so good, right? He said I'm going to pay off all these fines of the prisoners. There's only one problem, it's illegal. Now he's got himself a problem, now he's got himself a bigger problem than he had when Pocahontas beat the hell out of him in the debate.

Donald Trump

00:32:01 - 00:32:31 (30 sec)

Oh, that wasn't so easy, Mike. Remember, she was gone point after point after point and he thought she was talking about me and so did I actually. And then and then what happened? She said and I'm not talking about President Trump, I'm talking about you and he went, oh, my God. He's not a good guy, he's not a good guy, stupid.

Donald Trump

00:32:31 - 00:32:53 (22 sec)

To do that, stupid. You have to have some pride. You can't go -- what -- the way they treated him so badly. You can't do that, but they're going to destroy the suburbs. You know I keep hearing about suburban women like you, right, suburban women. Well, I just ended a regulation that would have allowed projects in your -- uh, do you mind having a project next to your house, you're beautiful?

Donald Trump

00:32:53 - 00:33:16 (23 sec)

You live in a beautiful house, right? Happily married, beautiful kids, everything perfect, the American dream, right? Do you mind having a project built next door? Yeah, she said she minds, do you know who minds? Everybody minds, I just don't think anybody knows that we did this. I really don't. I don't think anybody knows and they're going to change the zoning that allows them to build projects in the suburbs.

Donald Trump

00:33:16 - 00:33:34 (18 sec)

So the guys came to me and said I want to end that. They came, sir, we're all set, we're going to really bring it back. I said, no, I didn't say bring it back. I said I want it ended. Well, that's not so easy. I said I want it ended. I don't want it, I don't want it, and we terminated it so you can live happily ever after if you vote for Trump.

Donald Trump

00:33:34 - 00:33:52 (18 sec)

If you don't vote for Trump, you can forget it because they will put it -- do you know who's in charge of it? Cory Booker, Senator Cory Booker, he's another beauty. [Audience Boos] He was Elizabeth -- if you -- if you really think -- you had Elizabeth Warren, you had Cory Booker, and you had Kamala. You know, if you pronounce her name wrong she goes crazy.

Donald Trump

00:33:52 - 00:34:16 (24 sec)

Kamala, like a comma, it's like a comma, and she's like a comma. And by the way, nobody treated sleepy Joe worse than his Vice Presidential pick. I brilliantly said he'll never pick Kamala because she got treated -- he got called a racist, he got called xenophobic, which he didn't know what that meant. He got called all sorts of things, right?

Donald Trump

00:34:16 - 00:34:36 (20 sec)

And so I said, no, obviously, not going to be -- he picked her. I couldn't believe it, but I think that's good. We like our Mike Pence, we like Mike Pence, and she's rated further left than Bernie Sanders. I thought he was the most left in the -- he's not actually even in the party, he's sort of like an independent.

Donald Trump

00:34:36 - 00:35:06 (29 sec)

Nobody ever used to say that, but he's like an independent. But she's rated further left than crazy Bernie and this is what you want? I don't think so. Just so you understand, if -- and then she calls it the Harris administration along with -- just like your naming a movie, the producing credits, right? In the Harris administration along with Vice President Biden, no, no, no, he's heading up the ticket, but then he said the same thing.

Donald Trump

00:35:06 - 00:35:29 (24 sec)

He put her name first, I've never done that. I love Mike, but I've never said, Mike Pence and Donald Trump. I always say Trump because you know what, you've got to know that, you're the President. He doesn't know that he's in first position. He doesn't know it, he doesn't know it. He forgot, he forgot. Hey, look, you're entitled to one mistake every once in a while.

Donald Trump

00:35:29 - 00:36:07 (37 sec)

It was strange that they did it almost in the same hour though, right? It was like one on top of another. Give free healthcare, they want to give free healthcare to illegal aliens [Audience Boos] and indoctrinate your children with poisonous anti-American lies in school. We don't like that. [Audience Boos] To combat the toxic left -- and you see what it is, it's toxic, left-wing propaganda in our schools, I announced last week that we are launching a new pro-American lesson plan for students called the 1776 Commission.

Donald Trump

00:36:07 - 00:36:44 (37 sec)

We will teach our children the truth about America that we are the most exceptional nation on the face of the earth and we were getting better, better, better all the time. And we're joined tonight by a friend of ours, a warrior, Congressman Rob Wittman. Where's Rob? Thanks, Rob. Good guy. Virginia Republican Party Chair, Rich Anderson, good job.

Donald Trump

00:36:44 - 00:37:08 (24 sec)

How are we doing? Am I making the right move? I'm not wasting my time here, Rich. I got to ask him, Rich, what do you think? I think so, right? I think so and Congressional candidates Nick Freitas. Good, oh, look at him. We had a call the other day, a very successful call, right? Great call. Thanks, Nick.

Donald Trump

00:37:08 - 00:37:43 (35 sec)

And a real warrior, real hero, Scott Taylor, Scott. Those are two very important races and I think you're going to win and my source had good polling. We're taking over the house from crazy Nancy, we're going to have it. And I think those two guys, I think they're going to win. Also, somebody that I have heard incredible things about, the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate, Daniel Gade, Daniel Gade.

Donald Trump

00:37:43 - 00:38:12 (29 sec)

He's a good-looking guy. And I'll tell you, he's got to beat his opponent because he is just Warner, Warner was -- you know he was talking about Russia, right? Trump and Russia, Russia, Russia, then, he got scammed by a guy with the greatest Russian accent. You remember that, right? I have pictures of President Trump.

Donald Trump

00:38:12 - 00:38:30 (18 sec)

Oh, really, where, where, where? What are they like? Are they nude pictures? Yes, yes, yes. Does Vladimir know? Yes, yes, yes. So he's talking to this guy, he got scammed, OK. He was a comedian or something. He was a comedian, he's allowed to talk to Russians. If I talked to a Russian, it's a terrible thing.

Donald Trump

00:38:30 - 00:38:48 (18 sec)

By the way, you know getting along with Russia is not the worst thing in the world. Does that make sense? Getting along with North Korea, Kim Jong-Un, everyone said, oh, he's getting along, he's giving so much. I said what did I give? They couldn't tell me anything. Do you know what I gave? Sanctions, that's what I gave, but you know what, we get along, we get along.

Donald Trump

00:38:48 - 00:39:04 (16 sec)

You would have been in a war right now, it would have been a nuclear war. You would have been a war right now with North Korea if it wasn't for me. Hillary Clinton didn't have a clue. Obama didn't have a clue. Obama told me when I sat with him, the one time I sat with him, what's your biggest problem? North Korea.

Donald Trump

00:39:04 - 00:39:22 (18 sec)

I said how big? He said it's a big problem and he was indicating like it was war. I said have you tried calling him? Have you tried? Have you given it a little shot you know instead of losing 10 million people? They used to say 50,000 people could be killed, no, 20 million people could be killed, OK, 20 million.

Donald Trump

00:39:22 - 00:39:41 (20 sec)

Seoul is right next to, you know, it's near the border. It would be too bad, but we have a good relationship. I get criticized because I have relationships with these people and that's a positive thing. We have to remember that's a positive thing and I had a very good relationship in China with President Xi.

Donald Trump

00:39:41 - 00:40:02 (21 sec)

But you know what, this pandemic has just -- we made a great trade deal, but it just doesn't mean the same to me. Does that make any sense? It doesn't mean the same to me. It doesn't mean the same to me. Last week, two weeks ago, they had the largest order of corn to our farmers in our history. They had the largest order of soybeans.

Donald Trump

00:40:02 - 00:40:24 (21 sec)

They had this massive order of beef, but you know what, it does -- it just doesn't mean as much to me now as it did at one point. The ink wasn't even dry on the trade deal and this thing came in and they could have stopped it. We're all so deeply moved to be joined by two Gold Star spouses, two incredible people.

Donald Trump

00:40:24 - 00:41:12 (48 sec)

Karen Owens was a guest at my first address to Congress as we honored the supreme sacrifice of her husband, fallen Navy SEAL Ryan Owens. Where's Karen? Come on up here, come up, and we're also joined with Brittany Jacobs, her family, you know Brittany. On Memorial Day in 2017, I met Brittany and her son Christian at Arlington National Cemetery, and we honor the memory of her incredible husband and Christian's dad, Marine Sergeant Christopher Jacobs.

Donald Trump

00:41:12 - 00:42:16 (64 sec)

We took a picture together, that little boy who's no longer a little boy. Come on over here, come on, come on over here the both of you, come on. Both, come on. I said how is your beautiful handsome boy? She said really good, but he wants to go back to school. Let's go open up the schools, open up the schools.

Donald Trump

00:42:16 - 00:42:35 (19 sec)

We'll get them open. But we thank God every day for our courageous warriors and we'll always support our incredible Gold Star families and we want to thank both of you, it's incredible. Thank you and we'll get you back to school soon, all right? Get them back, come on, Governor. Let's go, we've got other things to do.

Donald Trump

00:42:35 - 00:42:53 (18 sec)

These people, you know they're keeping the states closed because they think it's going to be harmful on November 3rd, and it's not really -- it's not going to have too much of an impact. What it's doing is hurting a lot of people though, it's hurting a lot of people. In everything we do, we are putting America first.

Donald Trump

00:42:53 - 00:43:18 (25 sec)

We've spent the last four years reversing the terrible damage Joe Biden and his friends inflicted on this country over the last 47 years. I love it when he says, we could have done this, we should have done that. That guy's been here forever, 47 years, hard to believe, right? And that was in primetime, although, he never had super primetime, but that was in primetime, remember?

Donald Trump

00:43:18 - 00:43:40 (22 sec)

And this time and now, I got him here, ay, yay, yay. Together, we've taken on a corrupt and broken system that's been throwing everything at us from the very beginning, a new trove of documents -- and you have to go home and you got to read these documents and they now prove that Russia interfered in 2016. Unfortunately, it was on behalf of Hillary Clinton, not Trump.

Donald Trump

00:43:40 - 00:44:26 (46 sec)

They interfered, disinformation. Newly released text messages make 100% clear. The FBI knew that Democrats purchase Russian disinformation targeting me, your favorite President, which then forms the basis for the witch-hunt. And I'll tell you, we've had some incredible strength in terms of people like Sean Hannity, the great Lou Dobbs, no, think of it, Laura, Tucker, Tucker's been great the last [Inaudible] Fox & Friends, Janine, Janine.

Donald Trump

00:44:26 - 00:44:45 (20 sec)

I'll tell you, Jesse, how about Jesse, huh? Hey, Greg Gutfeld was bad to me. Now he's great to me. He said, hey, would you rather have a nice guy that doesn't do anything or a horrible human being like Trump that gets it done? They all say, I'd rather have the horrible human being -- I'm not a horrible human being.

Donald Trump

00:44:45 - 00:45:18 (33 sec)

I'm a nicer guy. I always get very offended when they say about like, well, maybe people don't like him, but he gets everything done. I think people like me, but I do get it done, that's for sure. Done more than any administration ever in three and a half years, first three and a half years. [Audience chants "We love Trump"] That's nice.

Donald Trump

00:45:18 - 00:45:42 (24 sec)

I'll tell you, that is so nice, that is so nice. The first is we're going to talk about the seating, we're going to -- don't worry about -- the justice will get her seat. Don't worry about that and that's a nice [Inaudible]. But you know they say, these people said they have never heard a political campaign where a big audience says we love Trump or the candidate?

Donald Trump

00:45:42 - 00:46:03 (21 sec)

I've never heard of it, I've never heard of it. It's true. I've never heard it for Ronald Reagan and I like Ronald Reagan, but I've never heard it, and they've never heard it, nobody's ever heard it. And who says that, but I love you, too. I really do, I do, and we're getting it done. No, they've never heard that chant.

Donald Trump

00:46:03 - 00:46:31 (29 sec)

I've never heard it and it started about two weeks ago, never heard it even before. But again, before -- [Audience chants "We love Trump"] I want to thank you. It's really nice, it's really nice, and we've got to go out and we've got to really work hard, and we've got to watch this ballot scam because they're scamming us, OK?

Donald Trump

00:46:31 - 00:46:50 (18 sec)

They're scamming us. And then they say, he doesn't want to turn over -- of course, I do, but it's got to be a fair election. You know, see, that's another scam. They don't mention anything about ballots. I say it's got to be a fair election. When they are losing ballots all over the place, when they're losing ballots, they just happened to be Trump ballots.

Donald Trump

00:46:50 - 00:47:16 (26 sec)

You know in Virginia, didn't you hear? In a very Democrat area, they sent two ballots to thousands of people, 1,000 or thousands of people. I just came out over the wires, so people in a Democrat area got two ballots instead of one. This is -- they had eight ballots in a wastepaper basket, military ballots that all were for Trump, every one of them was for Trump and they were in a wastepaper basket.

Donald Trump

00:47:16 - 00:47:33 (17 sec)

They were thrown away and somebody saw them. Then they had many, many ballots thrown into a river someplace. I don't even know the state, these are just a few of them and then go back earlier, go back to the Democrat primaries, go back to the great state, Iowa. I love Iowa. We're going to win Iowa big, big, big, big.

Donald Trump

00:47:33 - 00:47:53 (20 sec)

We won it last time by 11 points, we're going to win it big with ethanol, what I've done for them, with the $28 billion for the farmers, and that includes you. That includes tobacco, that includes a lot of things, but that includes your farmers. But you go back to their primaries, right? Go back to the primary, the Iowa, the first primary.

Donald Trump

00:47:53 - 00:48:17 (24 sec)

It was done with ballots. They have no idea. Remember the disaster? And that's a small primary. Now they're talking about tens of millions of these fake ballots going all over the place, who's sending them? Where are they being sent? Who's sending them back? Supposing they don't get them, are they being sent to Democrat areas?

Donald Trump

00:48:17 - 00:48:37 (20 sec)

And they're all run by Democrat Governors, right? All of them, 100%. It's 100%, so you have a guy in Nevada. He just comes up with the idea, I love -- I think we're going to win Nevada. If fairly, we're going to win it, but he comes up, well, you don't have to have your signature verified. Oh, that's nice, that's good.

Donald Trump

00:48:37 - 00:48:57 (20 sec)

He decided, let's do that, but you know a really big problem? I like watching television and have the winner is, right? You might not hear it for months because this is a mess. Go back and study what happened in Iowa, take a look. Take a look at what happened in New York in a small Congressional race, Carolyn Maloney.

Donald Trump

00:48:57 - 00:49:14 (17 sec)

She should have lost the race, in my opinion. They gave it to her because it was a crooked deal. The guy -- the guy that she ran against was having fits. He said, what are you doing? What are you doing? Everything was mixed up, the ballots were lost, there was fraud, there was everything. Go into Paterson, New Jersey.

Donald Trump

00:49:14 - 00:49:31 (17 sec)

These are just recently, it's a disaster waiting to happen, and the only one that knows it better than we do are the Democrats. They know this is going to happen. They want it to happen because they want to go through a court system, and instead, you're not going to hear -- very unlikely that you're going to hear a winner that night.

Donald Trump

00:49:31 - 00:49:53 (22 sec)

I could be leading and then, they'll just keep getting ballots and ballots and ballots and ballots. Because now, they're saying that the ballots can come in late. Well, what does that mean? And more importantly, they're going to be given, in some cases, a week or two weeks to count the ballots? [Audience Boos] So, if we're waiting for one state, no, think of it.

Donald Trump

00:49:53 - 00:50:12 (19 sec)

If we're waiting just -- and this is, they're talking about five, six, seven states that have this problem. So, if we're waiting for one state, does that mean the whole nation, the whole world is going to wait for one state? I won't use any names, but you have Pennsylvania. We have a Democrat who, by the way, lost the case last week.

Donald Trump

00:50:12 - 00:50:32 (20 sec)

We sued, we want him to open up his state, and we won on constitutional ground. North Carolina, they have the state all locked up. So, we're talking about, these are the Governors that run their states for Democrats. They really do. I mean they run them. They're Democrat Governors and they're in charge of the count.

Donald Trump

00:50:32 - 00:50:56 (23 sec)

We went to Nevada to make a speech. We had five different sites. The Governor made it impossible, so we ended up at a different site. We had to get one very -- this is the guy that's in charge of ballots. He was a political hack, now he's the Governor, and this guy is in charge of ballots. It's not going to work, it's going to be a disaster, and I want a smooth, beautiful transition, but they don't add the other part.

Donald Trump

00:50:56 - 00:51:14 (18 sec)

But it's got to be an honest vote and everybody knows. Just go back again. Look at Iowa. Look what happened. Just take a look at that. They still don't know who won. They didn't know weeks later, remember, New Hampshire went. New Hampshire declared a winner, and essentially, they don't know what happened in Iowa.

Donald Trump

00:51:14 - 00:51:40 (26 sec)

Except the difference is, we're doing the same thing, but with tens of millions of ballots. This is a disaster waiting to happen and they shouldn't let this system go. If you ask for a ballot, it's called solicited, you solicit, you want the ballot, it comes in, you sign it, you send it back, that's OK. But where they send millions and millions of unsolicited ballots, people get ballots, they didn't even know they were getting them.

Donald Trump

00:51:40 - 00:52:00 (20 sec)

Sign it, sign it, then there are people going around getting them to sign. You know when you have that, you don't need it. We have much more enthusiasm, we're so high up on enthusiasm, right? But it's very unfair because when you have somebody go knock on your door, sign. There going -- it's called harvesting.

Donald Trump

00:52:00 - 00:52:20 (20 sec)

They're going to harvest ballots, even though, in some cases, in most cases, it's illegal, it's illegal as hell, and it should be illegal. So this is a disaster waiting to happen and the only hope we have really, other than going through a long, unbelievable litigation at the end after it's over because we're going to win.

Donald Trump

00:52:20 - 00:52:43 (23 sec)

We're not going to lose this, except if they cheat. That's the way I look at it, but we can't let them cheat. We can't let them -- it's too much. Our country is at stake and it's true. Our country is at stake because these people will destroy our country. We can't let this happen and this is a scam. They know it, the media knows it, but the media doesn't want to cover it.

Donald Trump

00:52:43 - 00:52:59 (16 sec)

They know exactly what's going to happen and so do I. [Audience Boos] But the Democrats know better than all of us what's going to happen, so we can't let it. And if you see anything, you just have to report it and everything. We're all watching, law enforcement's watching all over the place, but it's very hard to watch.

Donald Trump

00:52:59 - 00:53:33 (33 sec)

You know millions of ballots, very hard to watch, and the only way we're going to lose -- that's the only way we're going to lose is if there's mischief, mischief, and it'll have to be on a big scale, so be careful. And we do want a very friendly transition, but we don't want to be cheated and be stupid and say, oh, let's trans -- we'll go and we'll do a transition and we know that there were thousands and thousands of ballots that made the difference through cheating.

Donald Trump

00:53:33 - 00:53:58 (25 sec)

We're not going to stand for it. We're not going to stand for it. So just remember, keep your eyes open. For decades, our opponents spent trillions of dollars rebuilding other countries and now we're finally rebuilding our country. We invested $2.5 trillion in the U.S. military all made in the USA. We launched the first new branch of the Armed Forces.

Donald Trump

00:53:58 - 00:54:21 (23 sec)

Think of that, since the Air Force, 75 years ago, it's called Space Force, it's a big deal. See, that alone would be a big deal for, honestly, that alone would be a very big deal for an administration. We did and think of it, we now have a sixth branch of the United States Armed Forces, that's a big deal, but we did so much more, so much more.

Donald Trump

00:54:21 - 00:54:47 (26 sec)

I mean think of it, it's incredible. You know what we did, probably the most, we'll have maybe even more than 300 federal judges, including Court of Appeals and now, we're going to have three Supreme Court judges, their minds are blowing, their minds. You know, you've had many Presidents, never had one Supreme Court judge, we're going to have three of all people and that's a record, of all people.

Donald Trump

00:54:47 - 00:55:21 (34 sec)

To get three Supreme Court justices in one administration and one term, they are going crazy. [Audience calls out "Yeah"] They're saying, darling, tell me this is not happening, but you'll see it tomorrow at 5 o'clock. With the help of the incredible workers of Newport News and Norfolk Naval Shipyard, we will build 355, we're going to have a navy again of 355 ships, that's what we need.

Donald Trump

00:55:21 - 00:55:41 (21 sec)

That's been depleted and they're already being built. We've got a -- we've got a few big ones, beauties being built, including aircraft carriers. Biden will slash military funding and shipbuilding will be shut down. It's going to be shut down like it used to be. We killed the founder and leader of ISIS al-Baghdadi.

Donald Trump

00:55:41 - 00:56:09 (28 sec)

We took out the world's No. 1 terrorist and mass murderer, Soleimani. I withdrew from last administration's disastrous Iran nuclear catastrophe. What a deal that was $150 billion, $1.8 billion in cash, did you ever see what $1.8 billion in cash? It's planeloads. These guys over there, they must've said what the hell is this?

Donald Trump

00:56:09 - 00:56:33 (24 sec)

They never saw money like that, we paid. Do you know what we got for it? Nothing, nothing. I kept my promise, recognized the true capital of Israel, and opened the American embassy in Jerusalem. I also recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. They've been working on that for 52 years, I got it done quickly.

Donald Trump

00:56:33 - 00:56:56 (24 sec)

And instead of endless wars, we are forging peace in the Middle East. We even got nominated, right? Do you know what for, right? I hate to talk about it, but I have to because the press doesn't talk about it. No, it's, uh, it was a great honor, it was a great honor. Twice, you know that, right? The press doesn't talk about it.

Donald Trump

00:56:56 - 00:57:20 (23 sec)

The Nobel Peace Prize, right, two, two for different things. For Kosovo and Serbia, we stopped them from killing each other. It was very nice and they don't have to kill each other. They've been killing each other for a long time. Kosovo and Serbia, it was great, it was great. And we got a nomination for Israel and you look at Bahrain, UAE, that's just the beginning.

Donald Trump

00:57:20 - 00:57:44 (25 sec)

We have them lined up. They want to go into that -- well, peace in the Middle East without blood all over the sand. And I told you, you heard the story, I went home, I said, first lady, I'm going to get the greatest stories tonight. I just got nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, first lady, for Israel. Everybody said it couldn't be done and they were right.

Donald Trump

00:57:44 - 00:58:06 (22 sec)

It couldn't be done the way they were doing it, you would have never gotten it done. The way John Kerry was doing it, you would have never got it done. Here's a guy who doesn't have a clue, incompetent. But you know what, I said, first lady, wait until you see this, it's going to be unbelievable. And we watched Lester Holt, I don't even know why and we had one story after another after another.

Donald Trump

00:58:06 - 00:58:29 (23 sec)

And after seven stories, I said, first lady, this is getting a little embarrassing and they never mentioned it nor did any other of the newscasts. Fake CNN didn't mention it, MSDNC didn't mention it, [Audience Boos] ABC, CBS, nobody mentioned it. So I was very embarrassed. Three days later, I got nominated again, right?

Donald Trump

00:58:29 - 00:58:58 (29 sec)

And I said my great first lady, we got another shot at it, darling. Let's watch the news tonight. One story, two stories, three stories, four stories, five stories, we got to the end, it wasn't mentioned again. And when Barack-Hussein Obama was nominated, [Audience Boos] it was -- and he didn't know what he got it for, he still doesn't. He doesn't know what he got it for.

Donald Trump

00:58:58 - 00:59:20 (23 sec)

So we've got a little double standard going, but that's OK as long as we know. Sometimes I'll be talking that way and I'll look around, I'll say, oh, I'm in the Oval Office. How did that happen? I said, you know, with all the complaining, we're in the Oval Office and they're not, right? And if you don't mind, let's keep it that way, so we can keep this going.

Donald Trump

00:59:20 - 00:59:52 (32 sec)

We've achieved more in 47 months than Joe Biden has achieved in 47 years. It's true. Biden, without even knowing it, is pushing the most far-left platform in history. The Biden plan would destroy Social Security and destroy protections for people with pre-existing conditions. He would terminate our travel bans in jihadist regions.

Donald Trump

00:59:52 - 01:00:08 (16 sec)

You know, I got the travel ban, remember? Everyone said you couldn't do that. I want a travel ban from people that want to blow up our country. Do you think that's OK? [Audience responds "Yeah"] People said, oh, we don't like that, took a little heat, and we got it. They said, I didn't get it and they were right.

Donald Trump

01:00:08 - 01:00:30 (22 sec)

We lost at one court, lost to the second, and then we won in the Supreme Court. They don't say that, but we have a strong travel ban and we will use it. We do use it, we used it plenty. And increased refugee admissions, they want to increase refugee admissions, 700%, [Audience calls out "No"] opening the floodgates for radical Islamic terrorism.

Donald Trump

01:00:30 - 01:00:57 (27 sec)

They want to ban school choice and charter schools. In the second term, I will provide school choice to every parent in America, every parent. A vote for Republicans is a vote for safe communities, great jobs, and a limitless future for all Americans. It's so true. And in conclusion, I love you people, but I've been doing this since early in the morning.

Donald Trump

01:00:57 - 01:01:18 (21 sec)

I'm getting the hell out of here. [Audience chants "USA"] I would only do this for Virginia. I got a guy who stays in his damn basement all day long and I'm doing this. I don't know. If he wins, I'm going to be very embarrassed. I'll say, gee, I worked so hard and he didn't work at all. No, we're going to win.

Donald Trump

01:01:18 - 01:01:46 (28 sec)

I think we're going to win. I think we're going to win big. I think we're going to. I think we're going to win bigger than anyone understands. I think there's a vote out there, there's a hidden vote out there, the pollsters are fake, they're controlled by the same people that write the bad stories, the fake stories. [Audience chants "Four more years"] Over the next four years, we will make America into the manufacturing superpower of the world and we will end our reliance on China once and for all.

Donald Trump

01:01:46 - 01:02:23 (38 sec)

We will hire more police, increase penalties for assaults on law enforcement, and we will ban deadly sanctuary cities, ban them. We will uphold religious liberty, free speech, and the right to keep and bear arms, Virginia. We will strike down terrorists who threaten our citizens and we will keep America out of the ridiculous, horrible endless foreign wars, countries that you've never even heard of.

Donald Trump

01:02:23 - 01:02:49 (25 sec)

We will keep you out of them. And by the way, we have weapons, the likes of which, nobody has ever seen before. We have a level of a degree of which, nobody from Russia to China, to North Korea, nobody's ever seen what we built and just hope to God we never have to use them, but we have never had anything like the arsenal that we've built over the last three years.

Donald Trump

01:02:49 - 01:03:08 (19 sec)

I hope to God we never have to use them. We're the envy of the world in that way. We have the greatest -- we have the greatest people for our ability. There's nobody can do, what we can do, there's nobody. But when I came in, your military was totally depleted, you had old planes, you had old everything.

Donald Trump

01:03:08 - 01:03:33 (25 sec)

We have now the F-35s and we have things, bombers, the new bombers, the tankers, the ships that we're building, some right here, Newport News, you know. But we have built an arsenal, the likes of which, the world has never seen. And you know what, that will make it a lot easier for us not to have to use them.

Donald Trump

01:03:33 - 01:03:55 (23 sec)

That's really what we need, we needed it. We were in bad shape, we were in bad shape. We will maintain America's unrivaled military might and we will ensure peace through strength and that's what we've done. We will end surprise medical billing, require price transparency, and further reduce health insurance.

Donald Trump

01:03:55 - 01:04:18 (22 sec)

You know the health insurance is a disaster and we are bringing the price of health insurance way down, premiums and costs of prescription drugs, we're instituting favored nations. We pay the highest in the world for drugs. I negotiated with Big Pharma and I just got tired of negotiating. I said I'm sorry, we're instituting favored nations.

Donald Trump

01:04:18 - 01:04:45 (27 sec)

We're the largest purchaser of prescription drugs by far in the world and I instituted what we call a favored nations clause, where we will pay the same price as the nation that pays the lowest price in the world. In addition to that, I instituted a rebate clause, where we get the rebates instead of the middlemen.

Donald Trump

01:04:45 - 01:05:00 (15 sec)

These are the richest people. I don't know who the hell they are, but the middlemen are -- they're very rich and they're not liking me too much, and you're going to see a lot of bad ads from Big Pharma, they've already started. Just remember, every time you see one of those ads, that means your drug prices are coming way down.

Donald Trump

01:05:00 - 01:05:34 (34 sec)

And I mean by 50%, 60%, 70%, and 80%. We'll strongly protect Medicare and Social Security. We will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions, always, always. America will land the first woman on the moon and the United States will be the first nation to land an astronaut on Mars. It will happen quickly and we've taken NASA from fairways.

Donald Trump

01:05:34 - 01:05:58 (24 sec)

I mean you have to see, they had fairways along like a golf course. It was a better golf course than it was a runway and what we've done, we've taken all the grass out. It was grass growing right through the cracks. It was a disgrace and we've now made it to No.1 Space Center in the world by far again. You had to see this, they were playing golf, they were playing golf.

Donald Trump

01:05:58 - 01:06:19 (21 sec)

It was all closed up or essentially closed up. It was actually worse than closed up. Do you know why? They were sort of open, but nobody was doing anything. They had nothing to do. We had the greatest scientists in the world and we're letting rich guys send up rockets, we like it. Somehow, rich people like to send rockets up, we say just pay us a nice rent and have a lot of fun sending your rockets up.

Donald Trump

01:06:19 - 01:06:47 (28 sec)

But NASA's now No. 1 in the world again by far and there's no contest, and all that grass is gone. We will stop the radical indoctrination of our students and restore patriotic education to our schools. We will teach our children to love our country, honor our history, and always respect our great American flag.

Donald Trump

01:06:47 - 01:07:19 (32 sec)

Are you listening NFL? Are you listening NFL? And we will live by the timeless words of our national motto, In God We Trust. For years, you had a President who apologized for America. Now you have a President who is standing up for America and standing up for the great people of Virginia and North Carolina.

Donald Trump

01:07:19 - 01:07:54 (35 sec)

So get your friends, get your family, get your neighbors, get your co-workers, and get out and vote. There's never been a more important election than this election. Early voting has already begun, do not wait, go out and vote. From Richmond to Roanoke, from Fredericksburg to Williamsburg, and from Norfolk to right here in Newport News, we stand on the shoulders of Virginia patriots who gave their blood, sweat, and tears for this beloved nation.

Donald Trump

01:07:54 - 01:08:29 (35 sec)

Virginia is the place that gave us George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe. Now you know, I signed a little document ten years in prison if you knock down a statue or a monument. It's amazing how you haven't seen any of that lately. They were having a little fun and now, they were heading toward the Jefferson Memorial.

Donald Trump

01:08:29 - 01:08:51 (22 sec)

I said wait a minute and I predicted that. They were knocking down statues, a lot of people didn't know exactly which one. I said you better stop it because the next thing you know, they'll knock down the statue of Robert E. Lee and they did. I said you better stop it or they'll be going after Thomas Jefferson and Washington and Abe Lincoln and they started.

Donald Trump

01:08:51 - 01:09:11 (20 sec)

And I said what are we going to do here? I have some good people. They said you know, 'cause today in Congress, you can't get anything done. They'd give you one day and in a very nice hotel. So I said what are we going to do? They said we'll take out an old -- we'll take out an old law and you can reinstitute it with an executive order.

Donald Trump

01:09:11 - 01:09:35 (24 sec)

I said what does it say? 10 years in prison, not jail, they used the word prison. I said for what? You knock down a monument or a statue, you go to jail for 10 years. I said give me that thing, get it to my office immediately. And I signed it and they were coming down to Washington and they were going to knock down two particular statues that were really beautiful.

Donald Trump

01:09:35 - 01:09:59 (24 sec)

And I signed it and we announced it at a news conference. We've got to let people know about it, right? And the 20,000 person march turned out to be about three people and two of them were arrested actually because we have -- thanks to the fake news, we have a lot of footage of people standing on the statue of Jackson, Andrew Jackson, remember?

Donald Trump

01:09:59 - 01:10:17 (18 sec)

They almost had the ropes. We sent in the police. The police did a great job by the way. Remember that? The ropes, they were ready to pull it down and we said charge and they charged, and I want to tell you, they did a hell of a job. They were much tougher than the people with the ropes. It took them about two minutes and that was the end of the ropes, but it was close.

Donald Trump

01:10:17 - 01:10:36 (20 sec)

They got there just in time. But you know what, since I signed that, there's been no statues, no monuments that have been played with, right? Federal, federal, states have to do the same thing for their states. Virginia heroes made America into the single greatest nation in the history of the world and the best is yet to come.

Donald Trump

01:10:36 - 01:11:03 (27 sec)

Proud citizens like you, helped build this country, and together, we are taking back our country. We are returning power to you, the American people. With your help, your devotion, and your drive, we are going to keep on working, we are going to keep on fighting, and we are going to keep on winning, winning winning.

Donald Trump

01:11:03 - 01:11:41 (38 sec)

We're going to win, win, win. We are one movement, one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God. And together with the incredible people of Virginia and North Carolina, we will make America wealthy again, we will make America strong again, we will make America proud again, we will make America safe again, and we will make America great again.

Donald Trump

01:11:41 - 01:11:48 (7 sec)

Thank you, Virginia. Thank you, get out and vote.
