Transcript - Speech: Donald Trump Holds a Political Rally in Charleston, West Virginia - August 21, 2018 | Factba.se

Donald Trump

00:00:00 - 00:00:36 (36 sec)

Wow, that is so beautiful. Thank you. What a great song, too, by the way. Do we like that song? I think so. I think so. I'd like to use it all the time, but it only seems to work well in West Virginia, right? So I am thrilled to be back with all of my friends in the great state of West Virginia. Thank you.

Donald Trump

00:00:36 - 00:00:49 (13 sec)

This was a big victory. We won by 42 points. That's pretty big, right? Forty-two points over a Democrat, right, over a Democrat. They didn't do too well.

Donald Trump

00:00:49 - 00:01:15 (26 sec)

And the people of West Virginia, they're loyal, they're hard-working, they're true American patriots. Remember that. They are great people. They're my friends. [Audience member calls "We Love You"]

Donald Trump

00:01:15 - 00:01:32 (17 sec)

Thank you very much. I love you too -- guy. It's a guy, but I love you, too. You're proud of our country, you're proud of our history.

Donald Trump

00:01:32 - 00:02:10 (38 sec)

And unlike the NFL, you always honor and cherish our great American flag. It was just announced by ESPN that rather than defending our anthem, our beautiful, beautiful national anthem, and defending our flag, they've decided that they just won't broadcast when they play. We don't like that. So while the players are kneeling, some of them, not all of them at all, you're all proudly standing for our national anthem. Thank you.

Donald Trump

00:02:10 - 00:02:33 (24 sec)

The ESPN thing was terrible, just came out. Under our administration, America is winning again and America is being respected again all over the world. It's America First. This is the greatest economy that we've had in our history, the best.

Donald Trump

00:02:33 - 00:02:49 (16 sec)

Our steel mills are back. They're roaring back. We're making steel again. United States Steel announced a massive infusion of cash.

Donald Trump

00:02:49 - 00:03:02 (13 sec)

They're opening up seven different plants. Other steel companies all over the country, they're opening up plants. People said steel will never be back. Steel is back.

Donald Trump

00:03:02 - 00:03:17 (15 sec)

It's one of the hottest industries in our country because of what we've done with our tariffs. They were dumping steel all over our country. They were destroying our business. They're not dumping so much anymore.

Donald Trump

00:03:17 - 00:03:42 (25 sec)

And if they do, they're paying a lot. Our military will soon be stronger than it's ever been before. We're taking care of our amazing veterans. And I know this doesn't matter to you, but we are putting our great coal miners back to work.

Donald Trump

00:03:42 - 00:04:39 (57 sec)

Great people, great people, brave people, I don't know how the hell you do that. I'll tell you. You guys have a lot of courage but we love clean, beautiful, West Virginia coal. We love it, right? And you know that's indestructible stuff. In times of war, in times of conflict, you can blow up those windmills. They fall down real quick.

Donald Trump

00:04:39 - 00:04:54 (15 sec)

You can blow up those pipelines. They go like this and you're not going to fix them too fast. You can do a lot of things to those solar panels. But you know what? You can't hurt coal.

Donald Trump

00:04:54 - 00:05:15 (21 sec)

You can do whatever you want to coal, very important. And we are working now on a military plan that's got to be something very special. So I'm honored tonight to have a friend of mine. He was a Democrat. And I don't want to say because of me, let's say it's because of policy, he decided to become a Republican and he's a great Republican.

Donald Trump

00:05:15 - 00:05:23 (8 sec)

And I want to bring him up if I could. Can I bring up your governor? He is the largest, most beautiful man. Governor Big Jim Justice.

Jim Justice

00:05:23 - 00:05:58 (34 sec)

OK. I deputized you, did I not? The other thing I know, you as West Virginians are appreciative people. Now just think, we know what this great man right beside me has done for us. Now let me say this: it's time for us to show that appreciation and deliver back.

Jim Justice

00:05:58 - 00:06:07 (9 sec)

We have to re-elect our House members and we cannot, whatever we do, to God above, we cannot put Ojeda on this man. But it goes further than that. Patrick Morrisey is a little behind right now. He needs you. He needs all of you. He needs you to go out and be warriors and deputies for him. He can win this, and this man needs him. So I would say God bless this great man. God bless this great country, and thank you for having me.

Donald Trump

00:06:07 - 00:06:44 (37 sec)

He's a big man. He's all man, 6 foot 11. I won't talk about the weight. I don't know. I don't know what the weight is. I won't go there, but he is a big man and he's a great man. He's a wonderful friend of mine. That is really nice what he just said about the man that you want to be your next senator.

Donald Trump

00:06:44 - 00:06:57 (13 sec)

That's really nice. Thank you very much, Jim. Also, we have your senator, who's a special friend of mine. She's been so helpful to me and so helpful to you, she loves your state, Shelley Moore Capito.

Donald Trump

00:06:57 - 00:07:18 (21 sec)

Congressman David McKinley, Alex Mooney, and Evan Jenkins. And Evan, you put up one hell of a fight. Thank you, Evan. Boy, you are something; and your state GOP chairwoman, Melody Potter.

Donald Trump

00:07:18 - 00:07:30 (12 sec)

Melody? Thank you. Thank you, Melody. Also with us is a tremendous senator, somebody that's helped us do our agenda, which is Make America Great Again pretty much, and we have a lot of different names. And you see Promises Made, Promises Kept.

Donald Trump

00:07:30 - 00:08:17 (47 sec)

They're copying it now, the Democrats. They're copying it now Promises Made, Promises Kept. They're copying it, but what are you going to do? But this is a man that really -- he makes a promise that it's 100% good. He's tremendous and done so much. He's from a place called Colorado, and he's helping to lead our campaign to elect more Senate Republicans like the man we're going to elect in West Virginia, Cory Gardner. Thank you, Cory.

Donald Trump

00:08:17 - 00:08:46 (28 sec)

Thank you, Cory, great job, doing a great job. Thank you. Then we're thrilled to be joined by the next House members from West Virginia's third congressional district, a woman that works very hard for you, Carol Miller. Carol? Thanks, Carol.

Donald Trump

00:08:46 - 00:09:13 (27 sec)

Finally, it's my great honor to introduce the person that we are here to support tonight, a tremendous gentleman. I got to know him during the campaign. He has got an energy. It took me a little while to figure it out. I have to be honest. And once I got to see what was happening -- and Evan would be the first to tell you too -- he was so tough, he was so smart, he didn't stop.

Donald Trump

00:09:13 - 00:09:26 (13 sec)

He does not stop, and he's going to fight for you like nobody's ever fought for the people of West Virginia, your next senator, Patrick Morrisey. Patrick, come up here. Come up here, Patrick. Come up here, Patrick.

Patrick Morrisey

00:09:26 - 00:09:41 (15 sec)

Joe does have to go. Let me just be clear. Hey guys, I want to start out by thanking the president for coming back to wild and wonderful West Virginia for the sixth time.

Donald Trump

00:09:41 - 00:09:41 (0 sec)

Patrick Morrisey

00:09:41 - 00:09:52 (11 sec)

Hey, how about this guy? West Virginia's never seen anything like this. We love you, Mr. President. And I'll tell you this: we know that President Trump is making America great again.

Patrick Morrisey

00:09:52 - 00:10:17 (25 sec)

But even more importantly, President Trump is making West Virginia great again. Look, tonight, we're joined by some of the Mountain State's finest coal miners. Can you stand up?A round of applause for our hard-working coal miners. Donald Trump and I are fighting every day for our coal miners and the hard-working men and women of our state.

Patrick Morrisey

00:10:17 - 00:10:29 (12 sec)

He's trying to get the man off your back, and I'm working every day to help him do it. [Audience member calls "You're the man, Trump."]

Patrick Morrisey

00:10:29 - 00:10:40 (11 sec)

Amen. But I'll tell you what, one of the best ways I can help President Trump is to have you send me to the U.S. Senate, where I'll be a big ally of this president. West Virginia needs to send a conservative fighter to the U.S.

Patrick Morrisey

00:10:40 - 00:10:44 (4 sec)

Senate to help drain that swamp. Now ... [Crowd Chants Drain the Swamp]

Patrick Morrisey

00:10:44 - 00:10:51 (7 sec)

It's pretty good. Now let me tell you a little bit. I have an opponent in this race. His name is Dishonest Liberal Joe Manchin.

Patrick Morrisey

00:10:51 - 00:11:41 (51 sec)

And let me be clear, Liberal Joe is no supporter of this president. Manchin strongly supported and voted for Hillary Clinton after -- right? All right, hang on, hang on -- after she said we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of work. Yes, that's pretty bad. Manchin even called Hillary warm, compassionate, engaging, tough.

Patrick Morrisey

00:11:41 - 00:11:58 (16 sec)

Can you actually believe that? Let – Joe's got to go. Joe has to go. Liberal Joe no longer has West Virginia values. Let's go through the record.

Patrick Morrisey

00:11:58 - 00:12:12 (14 sec)

Manchin was for Obama. Manchin was for Hillary. Manchin is for radical gun control, Planned Parenthood. He shills for EpiPen, and he opposed the Trump tax cuts. Let me be clear -- pretty bad, right? Remember, this is West Virginia.

Patrick Morrisey

00:12:12 - 00:12:31 (19 sec)

We benefit as much or more than anyone from the Trump tax cuts. Joe Manchin no longer has West Virginia values, period. When I get to the U.S. Senate, I'm going to be a strong ally of President Trump.

Patrick Morrisey

00:12:31 - 00:12:51 (20 sec)

I'm going to be the conservative fighter that you can rely on. We're going to stand up for coal and our energy resources and we're going to tackle this opiate epidemic more aggressively than anyone.

Patrick Morrisey

00:12:51 - 00:13:04 (14 sec)

It's my honor to be here tonight and be on the same stage with the president. Mr. President, thank you for your leadership, your work, and for standing up for West Virginia.

Donald Trump

00:13:04 - 00:13:04 (0 sec)

Thank you, man. Thank you.

Patrick Morrisey

00:13:04 - 00:13:23 (18 sec)

Amen. Together, we're all going help this guy make sure not only that we make West Virginia great again, we continue to make West Virginia great again. Best way to do that? Liberal Joe's got to go. Guys, Joe's got to go.

Patrick Morrisey

00:13:23 - 00:13:48 (25 sec)

And now I will turn this back over to the big man who you're here to see. Amen, brother.

Donald Trump

00:13:48 - 00:14:55 (68 sec)

He's got energy. He's got a lot of talent and he loves this place. He loves the people and he's going to be fighting for you. He doesn't sleep. He's out campaigning. I said how many days are you campaigning? Because I said the last 60 days of my campaign every single day, we'd go out every single day as many stops as you could make humanly. Humanly, he can't get tired.

Donald Trump

00:14:55 - 00:15:03 (8 sec)

He's got that same thing. He's not going to get tired. He's every single day and he's got a very special spark. You see it and you know him.

Donald Trump

00:15:03 - 00:15:11 (8 sec)

Look, you know him. He's done a hell of a job as your AG. And you got to get him with us. You got to get him with us.

Donald Trump

00:15:11 - 00:15:39 (28 sec)

He's going to bring it back home for the people of West Virginia. So this November, voters in West Virginia will face a very simple choice. A vote for Patrick Morrisey is truly a vote to make America great again. He's going to vote. And I like Joe, but Joe doesn't vote.

Donald Trump

00:15:39 - 00:16:04 (25 sec)

He just doesn't vote for us. It's a vote for Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, their new leader Maxine Waters. But between Waters and Pelosi, you have two people that are in charge of Congress. They're not in favor of West Virginia.

Donald Trump

00:16:04 - 00:16:06 (2 sec)

They don't know that West Virginia exists. They don't like coal. They don't like energy. [Audience calls We don't like her]

Donald Trump

00:16:06 - 00:16:27 (20 sec)

And they don't like her. So when you cast your ballot for Congress in November, you aren't just voting for a candidate. You're voting for which party controls the House and which party controls the Senate, so all these Congress people. And I'll tell you, we have to get there.

Donald Trump

00:16:27 - 00:17:07 (40 sec)

We really have to get there. So I'm going to be going out as many days as I can and I'm allowed to. I have sort of a lid with all the Secret Service and all the fantastic people, but it sort of holds you back. Maybe sometimes I'll just make a few trips without them.

Donald Trump

00:17:07 - 00:17:18 (11 sec)

We'll do them quietly. But we're going to be out a lot. We're going to a lot of different states, and I'm coming back here before the election. And it's a very close election.

Donald Trump

00:17:18 - 00:17:30 (12 sec)

A lot of people don't realize there's a 6-point spread. Six points could be ended by this evening. He could be up by 12. You've seen what's been happening.

Donald Trump

00:17:30 - 00:17:59 (29 sec)

We've had a good record of endorsements. In Georgia, a man who was down 10. I endorsed him a short while before the election -- good man, for governor -- and he won 70 to 30. So I guess he picked up 45 or 50 points. In Ohio recently there was -- he was up and then he went down a little bit. We went there, and he won. You know that, Balderson, good man, Congressman Balderson now, he won.

Donald Trump

00:17:59 - 00:18:16 (18 sec)

We won eight out of nine special elections. Nobody talks about it. They don't talk about it. Eight out of nine special elections, and they don't want to talk about it.

Donald Trump

00:18:16 - 00:18:56 (40 sec)

And my record – and look, I don't want to brag about it, but man, do I have a good record of endorsement. In Florida, we have a great candidate, his name is Ron DeSantis. And he called me and asked whether or not I could endorse him, and I said let me check it out. And he was a 3.

Donald Trump

00:18:56 - 00:19:12 (16 sec)

This was a few months ago. He was a 3, and I gave him a nice shot and a nice little tweak, bing-bing, and he went from 3 to like 20-something. And then I gave him my full and total endorsement, and he's now leading by, like, 19 points. And that election is next week, leading in the primary.

Donald Trump

00:19:12 - 00:19:28 (16 sec)

He's a good man. And so many others. Staten Island, the Congressman Dan Donovan, he was down before the election. We endorsed him. I think he won by 24 points. So if we can do just -- all my life, I've heard endorsements don't mean anything. They said if you get an endorsement from Ronald Reagan -- we like Ronald Reagan -- it was a wonderful thing to have but it didn't move the needle.

Donald Trump

00:19:28 - 00:19:58 (29 sec)

And if you get an endorsement from a lot of people, it never really -- is that a correct statement? If you look, Cory, Shelley, if you get an endorsement, it was nice to have, but it didn't mean anything. These endorsements -- and I'm not saying it from my standpoint. They're going 20, 30, 40, 50 points. Fifty points, it's crazy.

Donald Trump

00:19:58 - 00:20:26 (28 sec)

And then you watch the news, will this endorsement mean anything? Let me tell you, it's going to mean a lot. And I mean a lot. And I don't care, I just wanna, we have to get senators in. We've got really no majority. We have -- if you really look at it, probably we could say 49-49, 51-49. We have some people that aren't able to vote. We have some people that are a little unreliable. They don't exactly like what I've done to their career.

Donald Trump

00:20:26 - 00:21:06 (40 sec)

They don't love what I've done, and that's OK. And I don't like what they've done either. But we need to elect five, six, or even seven more senators and I think we can do it. I think we can do it, and we have to start with Patrick Morrisey. He's going to be fantastic. If you vote for Joe Manchin or any other Democrat in November, you're voting for the party that wants to really destroy the coal industry. Patrick said it.

Donald Trump

00:21:06 - 00:21:18 (12 sec)

Joe endorsed Hillary 100%, and he got along with her even better after she came out with a statement that she wants to destroy coal and coal companies. That's a bad thing. The Democrats want to turn America into one big fat sanctuary city for criminal aliens. And honestly, they're more protective of aliens -- the criminal aliens than they are of the people.

Donald Trump

00:21:18 - 00:21:40 (22 sec)

They want to take away your Second Amendment. You see what's going on. I don't think you want your Second Amendment played with. They want to take over American health care and abuse our courts to rewrite our constitution.

Donald Trump

00:21:40 - 00:22:03 (23 sec)

And how do you like the judges that I've been appointing? Justice Kavanaugh, Justice Gorsuch, Supreme Court? There's no worse nightmare for West Virginia this November than Chuck Schumer running the Senate and Nancy Pelosi with Maxine Waters running the House. And that is why you must vote Republican. You gotta get out of the vote. They keep talking about a blue wave.

Donald Trump

00:22:03 - 00:22:14 (11 sec)

I don't see it. We have the greatest economy we've ever had. Joe Manchin always voted for Obama, and he voted to keep the disaster known as Obamacare. And I will tell you it is being chipped away.

Donald Trump

00:22:14 - 00:22:57 (44 sec)

We had it beaten, but one man, I'm sure nobody knows who I'm talking about, voted no, shockingly. To -- really surprising to a lot of people because he campaigned on repeal and replace -- but we've really knocked it out, including the individual mandate. We got rid of the most unpopular part of Obamacare, where you have the privilege of paying a fortune for not having to pay a fortune for really bad health care. OK, that's not too good. We got rid of it. A lot of people are very happy about that. That came along with the biggest tax cuts in our history.

Donald Trump

00:22:57 - 00:23:32 (35 sec)

And Joe Manchin voted no on the tax cuts. The last time I was here, I saw signs along the highway, Joe, you voted no on tax cuts and Joe, you voted no for our president. You voted no. And he's going to vote no.

Donald Trump

00:23:32 - 00:23:53 (21 sec)

I'm not knocking him, but Schumer's the boss and he may give us a vote on Justice Kavanaugh. He should. Everybody should. I mean, here's a guy -- is this Central Casting? This is what we want. This is a great, brilliant man.

Donald Trump

00:23:53 - 00:24:26 (33 sec)

But Joe's just not voting with us. He's voting against your tax cuts. He voted against repeal and replace. He votes against the things that we want, and he votes against the people of West Virginia. You can't do that.

Donald Trump

00:24:26 - 00:24:46 (19 sec)

Joe opposed the wall and he opposed the travel ban. And by the way, the wall right now, that wall is coming along. We're over $3 billion. It's moving along very nicely, very nicely. And if you think it's easy with these people, it's not easy.

Donald Trump

00:24:46 - 00:24:56 (11 sec)

It's not easy. We're getting the wall built. It's going up and we're getting it built. And we have a big number in right now. [Crowd chants Build That Wall]

Donald Trump

00:24:56 - 00:25:03 (6 sec)

So Shelley and Cory you hear that, right?

Shelley Moore Capito

00:25:03 - 00:25:04 (1 sec)

Cory Gardner

00:25:04 - 00:25:05 (2 sec)

Donald Trump

00:25:05 - 00:25:23 (18 sec)

So we have $3.2 billion. We're looking for $5 billion this year, and all of a sudden it's going to be finished and it's going to be very, very effective. You heard about it today with the illegal alien coming in very sadly from Mexico. And you saw what happened to that incredible, beautiful young woman.

Donald Trump

00:25:23 - 00:25:34 (11 sec)

Should have never happened. Illegally in our country. We've had a huge impact, but the laws are so bad. The immigration laws are such a disgrace.

Donald Trump

00:25:34 - 00:26:10 (36 sec)

We're getting them changed, but we have to get more Republicans, we have to get. This election is bigger than any one race. It's about whether we want to continue the amazing progress we've made for America or whether we want to surrender that progress to the forces of extremism and obstruction. Their little phrase that they like, resist, that's all they're good at.

Donald Trump

00:26:10 - 00:26:53 (43 sec)

They have no policy. They're not good politicians, but they're good at sticking together and resisting. I have almost 400 people that haven't been approved by their slow-walking. Do you know what's slow-walking? They're slow-walking them. We have almost 400 people in our administration, people that gave up their careers that have been waiting over a year to get approved and they're being slow-walked by the Democrats. It's never happened that way in the history of our country and it is a disgrace. It's a disgrace. The Democrat Party is held hostage by the so-called resistance, left-wing haters and angry mobs.

Donald Trump

00:26:53 - 00:27:49 (56 sec)

They're trying to tear down our institutions, disrespect our flag, demean our law enforcement, denigrate our history, and disparage our great country. And we're not going to let it happen. New York's Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo even declared that America was never great. Oh, I see, OK. Tell that to our great soldiers at World War I, World War II, Korean War, so many others.

Donald Trump

00:27:49 - 00:28:26 (37 sec)

Tell them to the folks that sent a rocket up to the moon and our great astronauts. Tell them to all of the great medical research we've done in this country and he says America was never great. I would imagine that's career-threatening, right? I would imagine. How do you get away with that one? Did you hear? He was speaking to a room loaded up with socialists and probably others, probably others.

Donald Trump

00:28:26 - 00:28:40 (14 sec)

No not communists, but there could have been a couple of them, too. And he made the statement that America was never great and they would go, did you hear? They go, whoa,whoa. They couldn't even believe it. Now that's job-threatening.

Donald Trump

00:28:40 - 00:28:56 (17 sec)

His comments are an insult to the generations of brave Americans whose blood and sweat and tears built our magnificent country. So this November, you can either vote for the party that says America was never great -- that's going to be their theme now America was never great. Hey, let's do that. They copied mine, Promises Made, Promises Kept.

Donald Trump

00:28:56 - 00:29:14 (18 sec)

Let's give them a new theme, "America Was Never Great." That's the Democrats' new theme. Can we do that? Yes. We'll retheme their party. Or you can vote proudly for everything that we stand for. We're the greatest country in the world and we are now the greatest economy that we have ever had. We're the greatest economy in the world. [Crowd chants USA]

Donald Trump

00:29:14 - 00:29:38 (23 sec)

We've gone up $10 trillion in value since my election. We've gone up $10 trillion, think of it, since the election. Was that a great election? Boy. Remember I was here just before the election and I brought a couple of guys into a room and I said, "Fellas, supposing we teach you a new skill, supposing we teach you like how to make little widgets or gidgets or gadgets." These are big, strong coal miners.

Donald Trump

00:29:38 - 00:29:55 (17 sec)

They said, "Sir, we want to dig coal." I said, "I agree with you." I agree, right? Remember that? Their grandfathers did it. Their fathers did it. That's incredible and it's really happening. We are back. The coal industry is back.

Donald Trump

00:29:55 - 00:30:27 (32 sec)

So when I came here originally, West Virginia, frankly, was down and out. It was not doing exactly well, one of the last. Do you know that a few months ago, it hit where West Virginia on a per capita basis is one of the most successful GDP states in our union? So we went from being down and out. You're one of the most successful in the union, very close to the top.

Donald Trump

00:30:27 - 00:30:47 (20 sec)

That is some big change. And I've had so many people, I was backstage and people are coming up to me, "Mr. President, thank you, sir, for saving our nation," because you understand what that means. We couldn't do anything. Had the other side won, they would have poured on more regulations, raised your taxes.

Donald Trump

00:30:47 - 00:31:01 (14 sec)

They would have done things that were so bad. You had a very low GDP. It was 1.2%, 1.2%. It was going down. It was going to be a negative. Last quarter, we just hit, as you all know, 4.1%.

Donald Trump

00:31:01 - 00:31:39 (38 sec)

Nobody thought that was possible. If -- I always said, if I would have ever said that shortly after winning we're going to hit 4.1%, those people back there would have said, "This guy, no good, fake news, fake news." How fake are they? Fake news and the Russian witch hunt? We got a whole big combination. Where is the collusion? You know, they're still looking for collusion. Where is the collusion? Find some collusion.

Donald Trump

00:31:39 - 00:31:57 (18 sec)

We want to find the collusion. At the beating heart of this election is border security. We have to have that, right? We have to have it. Iowa officials and so many other countries have been reporting numbers where they're having a lot of problems with people coming in.

Donald Trump

00:31:57 - 00:33:01 (64 sec)

People are coming in, but we're getting them out. We have MS-13 on the run. They poured in here with Obama. We have them on the run because we love the men and women of ICE. A blue wave in November means open borders, which means massive crime. A red wave means safety and strength. That's what it is.

Donald Trump

00:33:01 - 00:33:33 (32 sec)

The new platform of the Democrat Party is to abolish ICE. A vote for any Democrat in November is a vote to eliminate immigration enforcement, throw open our borders, and set loose vicious predators and violent criminals. They'll be all over our communities. They will be preying on our communities.

Donald Trump

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

Yet while many Democrats are calling to abolish ICE, today our brave ICE officers successfully carried out a 14-year-old deportation order against a Nazi criminal who is living in New York, the last known Nazi officer living in the United States. They've been trying to get him out for decades. President Obama tried. They all tried.

Donald Trump

00:33:56 - 00:34:10 (14 sec)

We got him out, gone.He's gone. He's back in Germany. ICE officers are heroes who uphold our laws and they really do. They uphold our laws and they defend our communities like nobody you've ever seen.

Donald Trump

00:34:10 - 00:34:37 (26 sec)

And yes, they're tough, they're strong, they're smart, they have great heart, but they go into these communities loaded up with the kind of criminals you don't want to be dealing with. They walk in like it's another day in the office. They're tougher. They're stronger.

Donald Trump

00:34:37 - 00:35:50 (73 sec)

It's what these other people fear. And by the way, our ICE folks and our border patrol folks, they have no fear. The job they do is incredible. And by the way, while we're at it, law enforcement, these are great, great people and they're doing an incredible job, right? Every single day, ICE is tracking down gang members, drug dealers, predators, and killers, and we're either throwing them in jail or throwing them the hell out of our country.

Donald Trump

00:35:50 - 00:36:38 (48 sec)

If you want to save ICE, if you want to protect our border and our border patrol, if you want to stop this craziness of sanctuary cities, where criminals are protected -- take a look at Chicago, how about the mayor of Chicago? It's like a war zone. It's a great city. It's like a war zone. This is what those policies do.

Donald Trump

00:36:38 - 00:36:41 (3 sec)

Last week, 62 people were shot. Twelve died. This is like our country. There's no reason for this.

Donald Trump

00:36:41 - 00:37:29 (48 sec)

The Republican Party stands proudly with our courageous ICE officers and border patrol agents. And by the way, you know who wants the wall more than any of us? ICE and border patrol because they know that's going to be a big, big factor in stopping the drugs from coming in, the human traffickers, which is worse all over the world than at any time in the history of our world, human traffickers. Who would believe, and it's because of the internet. This election is about security and this election is also about jobs.

Donald Trump

00:37:29 - 00:37:53 (23 sec)

Wwe have produced. We have produced. Thanks to Republicans, our economy is booming like it has never boomed before. We've created another number that nobody would have believed if I said it during the campaign: 4 million new jobs since the election. Nobody would have believed it.

Donald Trump

00:37:53 - 00:38:10 (17 sec)

Almost 3.9 million Americans have been lifted off food stamps, think of that. They don't need them because they have a job. They're eating better now. They don't need food stamps, almost 4 million, think of it.

Donald Trump

00:38:10 - 00:38:56 (46 sec)

Last year in West Virginia, per capita income grew 40% faster than the national average, 40% congratulations. Congratulations. I told you last time I was here, you weren't so happy like you are now. We've added over 400,000 new manufacturing jobs nationwide. That number is soon going to exceed 600,000 and our opponent said there's no such thing as manufacturing jobs anymore, right? And I'd say, "Oh I see we're not going to make things any more." Think of it, we'll be close to 600,000 very soon.

Donald Trump

00:38:56 - 00:39:01 (5 sec)

We have companies pouring into our country. They're coming back. These are companies that left. They're coming back to Michigan.

Donald Trump

00:39:01 - 00:39:11 (10 sec)

They're coming back to West Virginia. They're coming back to Pennsylvania and Ohio. They're coming to Florida. They're coming back, not just opening.

Donald Trump

00:39:11 - 00:39:43 (32 sec)

They're coming back. They left and now they're coming back because they want to be where the action is and the action is in the United States of America. So the economic growth, as I said, when it hit 4.1%, everybody was like, "That's amazing," except me, because it's going to go much higher than that. When I finish these trade deals -- and the tariffs are very important -- these companies come in and I say to the European Union, very nice people, I say Jean-Claude, we'd like to negotiate a new trade agreement with the European Union.

Donald Trump

00:39:43 - 00:40:37 (55 sec)

We lost $151 billion over the last number of years per year. Does anyone know what a $151 billion per year is? And he very respectfully said, "Mr. President, but we are very happy with the deal." I said, "I'd be happy if I were you too. I'd be very happy." I said a second time, a third time, and a fourth time, but they were happy with the deal but we weren't happy because they have barriers up and because they have tariffs, all the things we don't have. You want to build a car and send it to Europe, how many Chevrolets are there in the middle of Berlin? Not too many, maybe one? I doubt it.

Donald Trump

00:40:37 - 00:41:33 (55 sec)

I don't think you could find the one. So there are barriers so I said, "Come on, let's go." And then he said, "No." I said, "Listen." And I said this to numerous countries, I mean, in all fairness, I don't want to single out anybody, but I said it. "Listen, here's what we're going to" – it's all about the cars. It's all about the cars, tremendously big industry. We're going to put a 25% tax on every car that comes from the European Union into the United States and that'll take our loss and trade deficit of $151 billion and it'll give us a surplus of $151 billion. That's a fairly dramatic swing and that'll take one little signature, Donald J.

Donald Trump

00:41:33 - 00:41:40 (8 sec)

Trump. And I got a call, "Mr. President, when can we meet? We'd like to see you." And they came, and very respectfully, we're working on a deal. But this is happening all over.

Donald Trump

00:41:40 - 00:42:24 (43 sec)

Wth China, I have great respect for President Xi, great respect, tremendous respect for China. But they have taken advantage of our country for decades. We have rebuilt China. We have rebuilt China. I used to talk about this. I didn't press it initially because I wanted them to help us with North Korea and they have, and they have, and we're doing well with North Korea. These guys, it's been what three months since I left? These guys say, "What's happening with North Korea?" Hey folks, they've been doing this stuff for 75 years.

Donald Trump

00:42:24 - 00:42:32 (8 sec)

Three months. What happened? I can tell you and I got along very well with Kim Jong-un. Really well. Good chemistry.

Donald Trump

00:42:32 - 00:42:52 (20 sec)

Obama was unable to do anything with North Korea and he considered it like -- just read the papers. You'll see what he considered it. So I've been three months. I have a very good relationship with Chairman Kim. We'll see what happens. Who knows? Can I be honest? Who knows? But I haven't taken off the sanctions.

Donald Trump

00:42:52 - 00:43:05 (13 sec)

We have massive sanctions, but I want to take them off quickly. But they've gotta get rid of the nukes. They've gotta get rid of the nukes. Gotta get rid of them.

Donald Trump

00:43:05 - 00:43:23 (19 sec)

But who knows what's going to happen? I mean, maybe it'll work out, but I think we've done a good job in a short period of time. You remember it started off extremely hostile. Remember they said, "He's going to get us into a war." They thought my rhetoric was too strong. You remember.

Donald Trump

00:43:23 - 00:43:46 (23 sec)

I won't say it because I don't want to insult Chairman Kim, but you remember, you remember. Elton John, I don't want to insult-- so I'm not going to mention it. But the fake news back there said, "He is going to get us into a war. He's crazy. This guy is crazy.

Donald Trump

00:43:46 - 00:44:39 (53 sec)

Our president is crazy." And then I went to meet the leaders [ph] and the folks that run NATO, all the leaders of NATO and they weren't paying their bills. They were delinquent. In real estate -- I love real estate -- when somebody doesn't pay their rent, you say – Shelley, you say their delinquent. You gotta pay your rent.

Donald Trump

00:44:39 - 00:45:03 (25 sec)

And I met him last year and Stoltenberg, secretary general, great guy of NATO. He's my single biggest fan, bigger than any fan I have in the room. You know why? Because nobody was paying their bills. He was in charge of NATO. He couldn't get any money. But last year, I went a year ago, I said you're not paying your bills.

Donald Trump

00:45:03 - 00:45:23 (20 sec)

You gotta pay your bills. He picked up $44 billion. He told that to the press, they didn't report it. Forty-four billion.

Donald Trump

00:45:23 - 00:45:54 (30 sec)

And then I just left recently and we're going to pick up at least another close to $100 billion extra. I said to him, "You gotta pay your bills." The United States is paying close to 90% of the cost of protecting Europe, and I think that's wonderful. I said to Europe -- I said, "Folks, NATO's better for you than it is for us. Believe me." And what happened is they asked a question.

Donald Trump

00:45:54 - 00:46:23 (29 sec)

They have small countries, big countries, all of these countries were – we're supposed to protect them? I said, "Look, it's very simple. You gotta pay up. You gotta pay your bill." And somebody said, "Sir," there's the president of a country calling me sir. That shows respect.

Donald Trump

00:46:23 - 00:47:04 (41 sec)

I say, "Yes, Mr. President?" He said, "Would you leave us if we don't pay our bills?" Now they hated my answer I said, "Yes, I would have to consider it. You gotta pay your bill." They hated the answer. But if I said, "No, I won't leave you.

Donald Trump

00:47:04 - 00:47:11 (7 sec)

You don't have to pay your bills. I won't leave. I promise, will always protect you. You will always be protected.

Donald Trump

00:47:11 - 00:47:28 (16 sec)

Don't pay your bills." Then they're never going to pay their bills. So I said, "Yes, I will leave you if you don't pay your bills" and you could see those checkbooks coming out for billions of dollars. They pay their bills. And I think we'll pick up over the next short while over $100 billion.

Donald Trump

00:47:28 - 00:48:12 (44 sec)

And then they said the fake news, they said, "President Trump treated the NATO nation leaders" -- in brackets, I put brackets, who have been ripping us off -- treated the NATO leaders with tremendous contempt and disrespect. And I said, "No no, no. They disrespected our country because they weren't paying." Now they're paying. How about if we got into a conflict because a country was attacked and now we're in World War 3 and we're protecting a country that was attacked and didn't pay its bills? I'd feel so stupid.

Donald Trump

00:48:12 - 00:48:26 (14 sec)

We're protecting a country that wasn't paying its bills. So I got them to pay $100 billion. It's gonna be much more than that, but tremendous amounts of money, tremendous. They gotta pay up, they're paying up.

Donald Trump

00:48:26 - 00:48:54 (28 sec)

And then they made the statement that I showed great disrespect. But actually, I have a great relationship with all of those people, 28 people, all of them. We have a great relationship because now they respect us. They respect our country again.

Donald Trump

00:48:54 - 00:49:05 (11 sec)

They didn't respect our country. They didn't respect our country. They respect us again, and you see it with China. China was walking its way down.

Donald Trump

00:49:05 - 00:49:37 (32 sec)

I don't want them to go down, but they're down close to 30% in three months. I don't want that. I want them to do well. I want to be their friend. But we had to do things that we had to do.

Donald Trump

00:49:37 - 00:50:02 (24 sec)

When I came, we were heading in a certain direction that was going to allow China to be bigger than us in a very short period of time. That's not going to happen anymore. Not going to happen anymore. Good luck to them.

Donald Trump

00:50:02 - 00:50:29 (27 sec)

The long winding road, you know, the long winding road, and I have tremendous respect for China. I mean, the energy, the genius, it's incredible what they've done. And hopefully we're going to have a great relationship, but we can't do it. It's got to be a two-way street. We have only one-way streets, not only China, with everybody. It's a one-way street, our enemies, our friends, our allies. I mean, our allies treat us worse than our enemies. Believe it.

Donald Trump

00:50:29 - 00:50:56 (27 sec)

So it's all changing. And when we get those trade deals done properly -- and you know what bothers me? I have people coming to me some people in Congress, "Sir, can you get this deal done immediately?" I say, "It doesn't work that way. I don't want to go too fast. The deal is not going to be any good if we do that.

Donald Trump

00:50:56 - 00:51:41 (45 sec)

We gotta take time, it's got to gestate, right?" The word gestate, it's like when you're cooking the chicken, time, time, turkey for Thanksgiving. My mother would say, oh eight hours. I said, "Eight hours?" She made the greatest turkey I've ever had, takes time, takes time. So when they run and they say, "Oh, can you do NATO right now? Could we sign it next week?" I said, "Wait a minute. Look, I like Mexico.

Donald Trump

00:51:41 - 00:51:57 (16 sec)

I like the new leader. I think he's going to be terrific, little different than us." I think I'm doing better with him than with the capitalist. But he knows that Mexico needs the United States. They need the United States.

Donald Trump

00:51:57 - 00:52:41 (44 sec)

Canada charges us close to 300% tariffs for dairy products going into Canada, which is essentially saying we don't want your dairy products -- this is a wall. They have a wall in a different way. It's called an economic wall. I don't want that. I'd said, "Justin, I mean, I don't want to have too much fun with you, Justin. You can't do that." Justin Trudeau, nice guy, but they've taken advantage of us for so many years that we have to take our time.

Donald Trump

00:52:41 - 00:53:00 (19 sec)

But with that being said, we're doing very well. We're on our way with a good deal, a fair deal. I don't want a good deal, I want a fair deal for both of us, fair with Mexico. And you've heard me say it.

Donald Trump

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

As an example, when China makes a car, they sell it into the United States. There's 2 1/2 percent tariff, of which they don't pay. So they paid nothing. Other than that, it's a wonderful deal.

Donald Trump

00:53:18 - 00:54:19 (61 sec)

When we make a car, we sell it into China, and there's a 25% tariff. And that's just the beginning, here's others. A man was driving down a street in China and he looked over and it was a Chevrolet, like Camaro, does that make sense? Is it a Camaro? I think it costs $39,000 or $40,000. He's in China. He's in Beijing and he shouts across -- they're stopped -- he then shouts across, "Tell me, how much did that car cost in China?" Guy looks, "$119,000." Now you understand that, right? It's all taxes and taxes and taxes. We can't do that anymore. Can't do it.

Donald Trump

00:54:19 - 00:54:51 (32 sec)

We are a country with unbelievable potential. We are a country that has been ripped off by everybody, and we're not going to be ripped off anymore. And if it takes me a little angst to tell senators and congressmen and all of the people that really do have your heart in the hands, in many cases -- sometimes I wonder where they're coming from with these suggestions -- but it's going to have to take that little period of time. With that being said, we're moving so fast, nobody could even believe it.

Donald Trump

00:54:51 - 00:55:43 (52 sec)

And every country wants to make a deal because we're like the big fat piggybank that everybody wants to rob, and we're not going to let them rob us anymore. Is that OK, West Virginia? We're not going to let them rob us anymore. Every day we're keeping our promises. We're canceling Obama's illegal anti-coal destroying regulations, the so-called Clean Power Plan. Doesn't that sound nice? Clean power.

Donald Trump

00:55:43 - 00:56:37 (53 sec)

You know, when I ended the Paris accord, what's a more beautiful name than the Paris accord? Let's call it the West Virginia accord -- maybe I would have signed it. But when I entered it, that was going to cost us hundreds of billions of dollars, hundreds of billions. And other countries, as an example, China didn't kick in until many years in the future. We kicked in immediately. Russia went back many years, which was not a clean time in terms of the environment because you know what? We all agree, we want a clean environment.

Donald Trump

00:56:37 - 00:56:56 (19 sec)

We want a strong, beautiful, clean environment. I want clean air. I want crystal clean water, and we've got it. We've got the cleanest country in the planet right now. There's nobody cleaner than us and it's getting better and better.

Donald Trump

00:56:56 - 00:57:36 (41 sec)

But I'm getting rid of some of these ridiculous rules and regulations, which are killing our companies, our states, and our jobs. Just today, we announced our new affordable clean energy proposal that will help our coal-fired power plants and save consumers, you, me, everybody, billions and billions of dollars. We've eliminated a record number of job-killing regulations, and Republicans have passed the biggest tax cuts and reform. The reform is very important.

Donald Trump

00:57:36 - 00:58:16 (40 sec)

But you know what I've said, I don't want to talk about reform because nobody knows what it means. That could be a tax increase. I said, "How come it's been Ronald Reagan since you got the last big tax cut?" And they looked at me and said, "We don't know." And a lot of the great senators and the congressmen came up to see me and they had the 2018 tax reform. I said, "What the hell does that mean? Are you going to raise taxes?" Then I found out this is what they've done for 40 years, tax reform. I said, "Nobody knows what it means." And we do have reform in there, great reform. But they said nobody knows -- I said, "Nobody knows what it means.

Donald Trump

00:58:16 - 00:58:44 (28 sec)

Here it is. I want to put it down, tax cuts." They said, "What would be your favorite name Mr. President?" I said, "The tax cut, cut, cut, cut bill." And we almost did it. We almost did it but in all fairness in this case congressmen, a couple of them thought it was a little bit tacky. So we call it the Tax Cut and Jobs Bill. But you know what? We have done great reform.

Donald Trump

00:58:44 - 00:59:19 (35 sec)

But it's the biggest tax cut in the history of our country, and you people are benefiting by it. You're benefiting. And companies are benefiting, and those companies are the ones that are providing all of the jobs. We're setting records on jobs. We're protecting, also so important for West Virginia and a lot of states, we are protecting again religious liberty and we're also standing up to social media censorship. That's the new thing.

Donald Trump

00:59:19 - 00:59:41 (21 sec)

That's the new thing. I'd rather have fake news like CNN. I would rather have fake news – it's true -- than have anybody, including liberals, socialists, anything, than have anybody stopped and censored. You gotta live -- we gotta live with it.

Donald Trump

00:59:41 - 00:59:53 (12 sec)

We gotta get used to it. We're going to live with fake news. There's too many sources.Every one of us is sort of like a newspaper. You have Twitter, you have whatever you have, Facebook, but everyone, you can't have censorship.

Donald Trump

00:59:53 - 01:00:40 (48 sec)

You can't pick one person and say, "Well, we don't like what he's been saying. He's out." So we'll live with fake news. I mean, I hate to say it, but we have no choice because that's by far the better alternative. We can't have people saying censorship because you know what? It can turn it around. It can be them next. It can be them next. We believe in the right of Americans to speak their minds. We repeal the core of Obamacare. I told you, individual mandate -- because we want to give critically ill patients. We have to give them access. We have to give health care to people. We want the right to try. Do you know what the right to try is? They've been trying to get this for 40 years. They couldn't get it.

Donald Trump

01:00:40 - 01:00:57 (16 sec)

A person is terminally ill, they're terminally ill. They're really sick. And I know people, if they have money, they travel all over the world to try and find a cure. If they don't have money, they die. They die.

Donald Trump

01:00:57 - 01:01:20 (24 sec)

We have the greatest scientists in the world, that's why China and so many other people, they're trying to -- countries they're trying to steal our technology. We can't let them happen. But we have so many people that want to be able to give -- it's like hope, right to try. I love the name. It's a right to try. They never had it before.

Donald Trump

01:01:20 - 01:01:34 (14 sec)

So a person is terminally ill and we have a great new drug, but it's going to take another two, three years to have it approved. OK, maybe longer. But the tests are really looking good. And this person is very sick.

Donald Trump

01:01:34 - 01:02:15 (41 sec)

And this person is going to be dead in 90 days and we couldn't get that drug for that person no matter who you were. And I said, "Wait a minute what's the story with this?" Now, there were a lot of complications because the insurance companies had problems, the medical companies had – everybody. A lot of people didn't want them in the stats, horrible things. But I said, "Well, what's going on? We're going to take the right to try and we went through with the help of Cory, with the help of your great, wonderful -- you are a coal lover, aren't you, huh, Shelley? But with the help of Shelley, soon to be with the help of Patrick Patrick, Patrick, oh, he's going to get a lot of things.He's going to get it.

Donald Trump

01:02:15 - 01:02:59 (44 sec)

We got it approved. So now if we have a great drug that hasn't been approved and somebody has a certain illness they're going to be able to be -- to try. And you know what? Some of the drugs we have in the pipeline are amazing. It's going to work for a lot of people and it's going to give them hope. It's going to give them hope, big deal. We've just secured $6 billion to fight the opioid epidemic. And I know in West Virginia, that's a big deal, right? That's a big deal.We confirmed a record number of Circuit Court judges, it's a record and it's going bigger and bigger.

Donald Trump

01:02:59 - 01:03:18 (19 sec)

We have a lot of them in the line if Schumer would ever get them approved. He's not exactly thrilled about approving them, that I can tell you. We confirmed the great deal Gorsuch to the Supreme Court of the United States. And as I just said, Justice Kavanagh is doing great.

Donald Trump

01:03:18 - 01:03:48 (29 sec)

Looks like I had a very tough Central Casting. How do you vote against him? But the Democrats may find a way. We've secured a record $700 billion for our military this year and $716 billion for next year, billion with a b. Our military will be stronger and bigger and better and more sophisticated than it's ever been, ever.

Donald Trump

01:03:48 - 01:04:09 (21 sec)

And hopefully we'll never have to use it. You don't get a lot of good fighters out here. I see some of them. I know some of them. And the one thing about a fighter or a nation or whatever you want, the stronger your military, the better chance you have of never having to use it.

Donald Trump

01:04:09 - 01:04:29 (20 sec)

We don't want to use it. We don't want to use it. And all of that equipment is being built right here in the U.S.A. We make the greatest fighter jets in the world.We make the greatest ships in the world. We make the greatest missiles and rockets. Nobody does it like us.

Donald Trump

01:04:29 - 01:04:59 (30 sec)

And in my direction, The Pentagon is working hard to create the sixth branch of the American Armed Forces, the space force.That's very exciting. We need it. That's the new frontier, and I'm not just talking about sending rockets to the Moon. I'm talking about militarily.That's where it's at. Thanks to the leadership of U.N.

Ambassador Nikki Haley. We've reduced the United Nations spending by $1.3 billion saving U.S. taxpayers $350 million. Just came out, but nobody wants to ride it.

Donald Trump

01:05:21 - 01:06:15 (54 sec)

We just passed the landmark VA accountability law.That's where people that don't treat our vets properly, we look at them and we say, "You're fired. Get the hell out." 45 years they have been trying to pass it. 45 years they've tried the pass it. We also passed veterans choice so that if our veterans can't get the care they need, they have the right to see a private doctor. They don't have to wait in line for three weeks, four weeks, eight weeks, two months.

I withdrew the United States from the horrible Iran nuclear deal. And this month, we reimposed tough sanctions on Iran's nuclear program and on Iran.

Donald Trump

01:06:23 - 01:06:55 (32 sec)

I also recognized the capital of Israel and opened the American Embassy in Jerusalem. And I understand now what happened because every president – many, many presidents. They said, "We're going to do it. We're going to move our embassy to Jerusalem. It's going to be the capital of Israel, and we're going to do it." We're going do it, and then they don't do it. [Inaudible]

Donald Trump

01:06:55 - 01:07:12 (17 sec)

Politicians, they don't do it. So I said, I'm going do it during the campaign.I said it right here in West Virginia. And I now understand why many, many presidents before me said they were going to do it and didn't do it because I was inundated with calls from foreign leaders, every country. Don't do it.

Donald Trump

01:07:12 - 01:07:21 (9 sec)

Don't do it. Don't do it. Please don't do it, don't do it. And so actually, what I did, I was about five days off.I stopped taking calls.

Donald Trump

01:07:21 - 01:07:49 (28 sec)

I said, "I'll call you back next week," because I knew what they were going to ask me. It's much easier if it was, oopsie, I didn't know you're always calling for that reason. So I approved it, and it should have been done years ago. And if there's ever going to be peace, remember I said it, with the Palestinians, it was a good thing to have done because we took it off the table.

Donald Trump

01:07:49 - 01:08:09 (20 sec)

Because every time they were peace talks, they never got past Jerusalem becoming the capital. So I said, let's take it off the table. And you know what, in the negotiation, Israel will have to pay a higher price because they want a very big thing, but I took it off the table. They could never get by.You understand that Cory.

Donald Trump

01:08:09 - 01:08:22 (13 sec)

You both understand that. Shelley? They could never get past the fact of Jerusalem becoming the capital. Now it's off the table. There's nothing to negotiate.

Donald Trump

01:08:22 - 01:08:37 (15 sec)

But they'll get something very good because it's their turn next. Let's see what happens. It's very – I've always heard that's the toughest deal of all deals that's called peace between Israel and the Palestinians. They say that's the toughest of all deals.

Donald Trump

01:08:37 - 01:09:27 (50 sec)

Let's see what happens. Instead of apologize, that's -- what we're doing is we're winning. Instead of apologizing from that, we're standing up for America and we're standing up for the heroes who defend our country, but to continue this incredible success, we must elect more Republicans.We must elect Patrick Morrisey. We need him. We need Patrick. So get your friends, your neighbors, your co-workers, your family members, get the people that love our country and get out to vote. We need his vote so badly. We need his energy. You're going to see this guy has energy.

Donald Trump

01:09:27 - 01:10:06 (39 sec)

Loyal citizens like you helped to build this country. Together we're taking back our country, returning power to where it belongs, to the American people. From Morgantown to Madison to Charleston, this great state was settled by tough pioneer men and strong pioneer women who tamed the wilderness to build a better life for themselves and for their incredible American families. They didn't have a lot of money.

Donald Trump

01:10:06 - 01:10:24 (17 sec)

They didn't have a lot of luxury, but they had grit and they had faith and they loved each other. And I'll tell you what, they were smart. They are smart. We're the smart ones, remember. I say it all the time.You hear the elite. They're not elite, we're elite.

Donald Trump

01:10:24 - 01:11:15 (52 sec)

You're smarter than they are, you have more money than they are, you have better jobs than they do, you'rethe elite. So let them have the word elite. You're the super elite.That's what it is. I always hate -- I always hate when they say, well the elite decided not to go to something I'm doing, right, the elite. I said, "Well, I have a lot more money than they do. I have a much better education than they have.I'm smarter than they are. I have many much more beautiful homes than they do. I have a better apartment at the top of Fifth Avenue. Why the hell are they the elite? Tell me.

Donald Trump

01:11:15 - 01:11:19 (4 sec)

Because you are the elite. Just remember that. You are the elite. They're not the elite.

Donald Trump

01:11:19 - 01:11:44 (25 sec)

That's just a name. Aren't you insulted when they say the elite? To me, I'm insulted, always insulted. They're the elite, they're not the elite. Your people and the people that preceded you in West Virginia were the Carpenters and the coal miners, the ministers, the metal workers, the farmers, the factory workers, but they all had one thing in common.

Donald Trump

01:11:44 - 01:12:29 (45 sec)

They love their families, they love their country, and they love their God. We stand on the shoulders of generations of American patriots who knew how to fight and they knew how to win. We're winning again. We're winning again. Just like them we're going to keep on fighting and we're going to keep on winning and we're going to win for our nation, our children, our families and we're going to win for our continued freedom.

Donald Trump

01:12:29 - 01:13:17 (48 sec)

I joke that I'll have Patrick Morriseycoming to me soon. He'll be your senator and he'll say, "Mr. President, the people of West Virginia can't stand winning so much. They haven't won in decades and now you're winning with coal, you're winning with everything." He's going say – Patrick, he's going to say, "Mr. President, please they don't want to win so much. They can't stand it. Please you're winning too much for West Virginia. Please stop winning." And I'm going to say, "Patrick.

Donald Trump

01:13:17 - 01:13:53 (37 sec)

I'm sorry. I don't care what the hell the people of West Virginia want. We're going to keep on winning anyway, because I believe that's what they want." Right? That's what they want because the people of West Virginia never give up. They never given and they never back down because we are Americans and our hearts bleed red, white and blue.

Donald Trump

01:13:53 - 01:14:21 (28 sec)

We are one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God. And together we will make America wealthy again. That's happening. That's happening a lot faster than the fake news ever said it could happen.

Donald Trump

01:14:21 - 01:14:34 (13 sec)

We will make America strong again. We will make America safe again and we will make America great again. Thank you, West Virginia. Thank you.
