Nicole Shanahan introduced herself as a former Democrat from California who came to apologize for what the Democratic Party has done to the American people. She stated that nobody in the room or the country is deplorable or garbage, and called it wrong for a president to divide the country. Shanahan described being asked by Bobby Kennedy to run as his vice president, noting a friend told her the government needs an exorcism rather than politics. She explained that what is happening is deeply spiritual, calling people to rise above hatred, fear, and evil, and to be individual sovereigns rather than puppets of corporate interests.
Shanahan shared that she has seen the belly of the beast through celebrity parties where people overdose on drugs and nobody cares. She emphasized there are good people everywhere who outnumber the tiny segment responsible for much pain. She called for mothers to stop whispering concerns and come out publicly, noting the cost to her reputation and threats against her for speaking out against Big Pharma.
Shanahan expressed fear about the degree of cheating happening, specifically mentioning the parading of Jill Biden in a panda suit. She held up her California state ballot and stated that millions of Americans have shed blood for this piece of paper. She revealed that Bobby Kennedy told her Donald Trump called him on the day of the assassination attempt, and the two connected as individual sovereigns about their mutual love of country. She announced she would be a first-time Trump voter despite the novelty of seeing her name on the ballot.
Shanahan apologized for people on the left who don't understand their bad behavior and expressed commitment to unite the country under love, mutual understanding, dignity, and grace. She closed by urging people to vote for Donald J. Trump because he knows what it is to give it all up for the country.
Charlie Kirk opened by asking if the crowd was ready to win Arizona on Tuesday. He noted that the first ever MAGA rally was held in Phoenix, Arizona, and that tonight marked Donald Trump's last visit as a candidate to Arizona, completing a nine-year journey. Kirk explained Trump chose Arizona for the first MAGA rally because his values have not changed over 40 years - the country will be invaded no longer and sovereignty will not be jeopardized.
Kirk stated that the state helped launch the movement that swept the globe but has not been accurately reflected in elections. He noted the realignment happening where Kamala Harris gets Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger while Trump gets Bobby Kennedy, Elon Musk, and Tulsi Gabbard, calling it the best political trade in history.
Kirk emphasized that the election is about whether you love the country and want to save it from robber barons, ideological zealots, and partisans stealing money, going after children, and sending Americans into no-win wars. He stated the Democrats are the party of war, censorship, and ugliness while Republicans are the party of free speech, borders, and openness to ideas.
Regarding early voting, Kirk reported that as of the event date, Republicans are beating Democrats by eight points in early voting. He noted that in 2020, Republicans were down a couple points at this time, but urged continued work without cockiness or confidence. He reminded the audience of the anger felt when Arizona was called 90 minutes after polls closed in 2020.
Kirk stated that Arizona has been a victim of every failed policy by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, including open borders and record inflation. When Donald Trump was president, a home in Phoenix could be purchased on $75,000 a year, but now requires $135,000 a year. He noted Trump's day-one agenda includes no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on social security, drill baby drill, secure the border, end World War III, and no men in women's sports.
Kirk reported there are hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters in the valley who have received mail-in ballots but have not submitted them. He emphasized the need to find these people and get them to vote. He noted that young men are the most conservative they have been in 50 years, and that support must be converted to votes through active participation.
Kirk stated he was raised in Chicago but considers Arizona home because no one asks where you went to college or who your parents are - only how you act, what your character is, and what you do. He called Arizona the best the country has to offer, a state that loves liberty, freedom, and cherishes founding ideals. He stated the goal is to project Arizona's 11 electoral votes to Donald J. Trump on election night.
Senator Mike Lee opened by wishing happy Halloween and noting the audience chose to attend the event rather than greet trick-or-treaters. He stated Arizona is at the epicenter of America's fate, and this election really is the most important of a lifetime because the heart and soul of America is under attack.
Lee stated religious freedom is on the ballot. He explained that Kamala Harris, during her four years as senator, championed the Do No Harm Act, which would gut the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. He noted his ancestors were Mormon pioneers who came to Arizona seeking freedom after being persecuted in Missouri, Ohio, and Illinois. Lee stated that Marxists don't like God because they want government to be their deity, and that the Trump administration will restore protections that Harris wants to burn to the ground.
Lee stated parental rights are on the ballot, including the ability to raise children without interference from federal policy that would have girls compete against boys in sports, share locker rooms and restrooms with boys, and be exposed to filth in libraries. He clarified that conservatives are not book burners but don't want filth in classrooms or libraries, and that parents are in charge, not the government.
Lee stated the economy is on the ballot. He cited research showing that approximately $300 a month often makes the difference between feeling prosperous and feeling like you're sinking. He stated that due to Kamala Harris's reckless spending, the average family must shell out an additional $1,100 to $1,200 every month for basic living expenses. He noted the Inflation Reduction Act did the opposite of what its name suggests.
Lee stated that Trump and Lake want people to keep what they earn rather than taxing unearned money. He emphasized that the sole purpose of the Constitution is to restrain government so people can work hard, provide for families, and live as they deem fit. He called for expecting limited government, no multi-trillion dollar deficits, and a government that understands it's the people's money.
Kelly Means was introduced as someone who will help make America healthy again. The transcript notes that hours after an assassin's bullet ripped through President Trump's ear, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called him. RFK had built one of the largest independent political movements, attaining 20% support among Americans.
Means presented multiple statistics: 20% of American children are malnourished despite living in the greatest agricultural powerhouse; 50% of teens are overweight or obese; the USDA recommends added sugar as a healthy part of a 2-year-old's diet; the American Academy of Pediatrics pushes lifetime Ozempic jabs for overweight six-year-olds instead of discussing healthy food or exercise; childhood cancer rates are at an all-time high; prescriptions of antidepressants, statins, and metformin have doubled among teens; 1 out of 24 children in California have autism; the NIH is hiding research about what the COVID vaccine is doing to children; 40% of teens are on pharmaceuticals; Harvard Medical School forbids the term mother and insists on birthing person; and infertility is skyrocketing.
Means stated that on August 23rd in this stadium, President Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined hands and said let's make America healthy again. He explained there is no greater example of corruption than healthcare incentives that profit from a sick child. Means stated these trends can be reversed by rooting out conflicts of interest in the CDC, NIH, FDA, and USDA, and by spurring benefit flexibility, eliminating mandates, and opening up HSAs, FSAs, and other flexible funds.
Healthcare reform requires spurring benefit flexibility, eliminating mandates, and opening up HSAs, FSAs, and other flexible funds to let patients decide what's best for their child, not some government mandate.
When Bobby Kennedy and Donald Trump joined together, it represented a historic realignment in American politics. It is no longer left versus right. It is about the American people versus a military industrial complex that is making us less secure, an education industrial complex that is making our children less competitive, and a healthcare industrial complex that is profiting when Americans get sicker, fatter, more depressed, and more infertile.
The special interests are working to stop this movement, but these slithering pharma defenders do not have the voters.
After my mom died of a preventable disease, my sister Dr. Casey Means and I decided to devote our lives to reversing the chronic disease epidemic. We wrote a book, Good Energy, with the simple thesis that conditions plaguing us are connected. We need to stop treating conditions with ineffective drugs and silos and appreciate the interconnectedness of our beautiful human body. This is a spiritual issue.
One of the first calls received when the book was published was from Tucker Carlson who wanted to promote this message. Independent media is working hard to let the light out. They're trying to squash it on the other side, but the movement is using First Amendment rights and getting these issues out louder than they've ever been.
Tucker, Joe Rogan, Megyn Kelly, Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Glenn Beck, Chris Williamson, Jordan Peterson - they're changing the world. It depends on free speech and they're letting it out. It depends on breaking free of corporate media where pharma funding is their lifeblood.
This election is about big ideas. President Trump and his unity team of JD Vance, Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, Nicole Shanahan, Vivek Ramaswamy and others are making this election about big existential ideas.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was introduced as a key member of this coalition, a man who is going to help President Trump make America healthy again.
I smell a landslide on Tuesday. I've been on the road for 19 months now. I lost a lot of friends and a lot of family, but I have a much bigger family now.
We're all held together by blood and by DNA, and that is our basic relationships in our lives. But the most important relationships come from shared values. And everybody in this auditorium shares the value that they love this country, love freedom, love our Bill of Rights, and our Constitution.
I saw those things in danger in a very acute way during the COVID pandemic. And that is one of the principal reasons that I made the decision 19 months ago to run for president of the United States.
A little over a year ago, I left the Democratic Party. That was a difficult decision for me because the Democratic Party was the home for me that it was incomprehensible to me that I would ever leave it.
My great-great-grandparents came over here, all of them in 1848 during the height of the potato famine. They landed on the docks of Boston, penniless, and they were met there by the Democratic Party. The party took care of them, found them homes, found them jobs, located them in communities. It was where their churches were. And it gave them a sense of value and community and a love for this country.
My great-grandfather, Honey Fitz, was the first Irish Catholic mayor of Boston. His contemporary Patrick Kennedy was a state senator and a political boss in Boston. My uncle John Kennedy was the first Irish Catholic president. My uncle Ted Kennedy was the longest second longest serving member of the United States Senate. My father was a US senator and attorney general and died running for president of the United States.
It was inconceivable to me that I would ever leave the Democratic Party. But I didn't leave the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party left me.
The Democratic Party that I grew up with was the party of peace. It was the party of civil rights and constitutional rights and particularly freedom of speech. It was the party that had skepticism toward the CIA and the national security state. It was the party that was also skeptical of Wall Street and the corporate domination of American democracy.
It was the party of women's rights. My uncle Ted Kennedy wrote Title IX to make sure that women could play sports in college. And it was the party of democracy. It was the party that fought hard to make sure that every American had the right to vote for the candidate that they chose to vote for.
Today's Democratic Party is the party of war. It's the party of Dick Cheney. It's the party of John Bolton. These were the people who lied us into the Iraq war, the greatest foreign policy cataclysm in American history. These are the men who wrote the Patriot Act that introduced the surveillance state and gave the CIA permission to spy on Americans, to propagandize Americans.
It's the party that is trying to dismantle Title IX and let men play women's sports. The party I grew up with was the party of cops and firefighters and working people. And now that's the Republican Party.
The Democratic Party today is no longer the party that is skeptical of the CIA. The CIA and the neocons wrote Kamala Harris's speech at the Democratic convention. The most bellicose, pugnacious speech that we've ever seen at a Democratic convention. Before she went on, she was immediately preceded by a former CIA director. This would be unthinkable in the Democratic Party I grew up in.
They've become the party of the swamp. They've become corruption. The party of Wall Street, of big tech, of big data, of big pharma, of big ag, big chemical and the military-industrial complex. Their party is not of civil rights but of division that is tearing our country apart.
I made a decision to run for president 19 months ago. A little over a year ago, I left the Democratic Party for all of those reasons. Then in August of this year, President Trump called me on August 23rd, immediately after his shooting at Butler. He called me three hours later on the telephone, and he asked me to meet with him the next day in Milwaukee. We had a two and a half hour meeting then and a number of subsequent meetings.
During those meetings, he urged me to unify our parties and to work with him to reclaim the values that Robert Kennedy stood for, that John Kennedy stood for. He said he wanted to end the forever wars and bring that $200 billion that we've sent to Ukraine home to rebuild America.
He told me that he wanted to end the censorship and end the surveillance and the propaganda, and that he wanted to put an end to the weaponization of law enforcement agencies against the American political system. He wanted to end this corrupt merger of state and corporate power that has turned our regulatory agencies predatory against the American public.
He said that he wanted to make America healthy again and end the chronic disease epidemic that is destroying our children, and that is an existential threat to our nation.
When my uncle was president and I was a 10-year-old boy, the rate of chronic disease in this country was 6%. Today, it's 60%. When my uncle was president, we spent zero on chronic disease in this country. There were no drugs to treat it. Today, we spend $4.3 trillion. $4.3 trillion. That's five times our military budget. It's the largest cost to our nation and it is bankrupting us and it is destroying us morally because we are betraying our children by letting these industries poison them.
The rate of obesity at that time was 3%. Today it's 50% in our children and 74% of Americans are obese or overweight. We didn't suddenly become lazy and gluttonous. We are being mass poisoned by corrupt industry. In Japan where they don't have this kind of corruption, the obesity rate is 3%. That's what it's supposed to be, 3%. It's not supposed to be 50%.
This is a national security threat. 77% of American kids are no longer qualified for military service because of chronic disease diagnosis.
The diseases include obesity, neurodevelopmental disorders. When I was a boy, I never heard of ADD, ADHD, speech delay, language delay, sleep disorders, Tourette syndrome, narcolepsy, ASD, or autism. The autism rate in my generation of 70-year-old men is 1 in 10,000. The autism rate in our children is 1 in 34. In California, it's 1 in 24, and the rate in boys is much higher.
We also saw this explosion of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, lupus, and juvenile diabetes. All of these exotic diseases that we never heard of as a kid.
The diabetes rate when I was a kid was effectively zero. A typical pediatrician when I was a young boy would see one case of diabetes in his lifetime, in his career, a 40 or 50 year career. Today, one out of every three children who walks through his office door is diabetic or pre-diabetic.
Nobody's talking about it. Nobody's saying anything. Nobody is recognizing that we are being mass poisoned by big pharma and big food.
I never knew a kid anywhere in any of the schools that I went to that had a peanut allergy or food allergies or eczema. My brother had asthma and he was told by his doctor there will never be a cure for asthma because it's so rare that nobody will ever study it. Today, one out of every eight black children in America's cities has asthma.
I saw this happening and I began writing about it and the media rose up and silenced me in 2005. And nobody would talk about it. The doctors wouldn't talk about it. The pediatricians wouldn't talk about it. The scientists, the government officials. People warned me, "If you keep talking about this, you're going to destroy your career." And I was stunned by this.
For 19 years since 2005, I spend 30 minutes praying every day when I get out of bed. My prayer is this. I asked God for 19 years to put me in a position where I could end the chronic disease epidemic and bring health back to our children. And in August, God sent me Donald Trump.
We're five days out from an election, and it's an election that we are certain to win if every vote is counted. If all the votes are counted, we're going to win this election.
When I was 7 years old, I went to the inauguration of my uncle as president in Washington DC. And three days before that, President Eisenhower, the outgoing president, made what today we have to regard as the most important speech in American history. It was the speech where he told Americans that they should be in fear of the emergence of a military-industrial complex that would erode our democracy, that would subvert our democratic institutions, that would steal our money and steal our resources and bankrupt the middle class in this country and make us weak in the long run.
After he talks about the military-industrial complex, he says, and by the way, just as bad is the medical industrial complex, which will pervert science, which will lie to the public, which will turn science to serve industrial and corporate interests, the mercantile ambitions of big corporations.
As soon as Donald Trump started talking about giving me the power, he asked me to do three things. He asked me to root out the corruption and end the conflicts of interest in our regulatory agencies, and end this corporate capture that has turned our regulatory agencies into sock puppets of the industries they're supposed to regulate.
He asked me to restore the tradition of gold standard, empirically based, evidence-based science and medicine in our regulatory agencies and to restore the transparency. These agencies must stop hiding science from us when it clashes with the commercial ambitions of the pharmaceutical industry.
He doesn't want me to take vaccines away from people. If you want to take a vaccine, you ought to be able to take it. We believe in free choice in this country. You ought to know the risks and benefits of everything you take. And we need good science for that. And we need informed consent.
He asked me to end the chronic disease epidemic in this country. He said he wants to see results, measurable results in the diminishment of chronic disease within two years.
This has caused a lot of aggravation and apoplexy among a certain class of the medical elites. Today, the Washington Post, NBC, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal all did articles talking about what a catastrophe it's going to be if I get anywhere near the medical establishment.
I read the articles because I wanted to see the names of the people who were denouncing me. And every one of them is on the pharma payroll. These are what the media calls experts, but these are the same experts that made us the sickest country in the history of the world. Whatever they're doing is not working.
These are the guys who gave us the COVID countermeasures, which shut down our schools, which closed our churches, which shut down 3.3 million businesses in this country, all the little businesses, and they left open the Walmarts and Facebook and all of the big people who were cashing in on the pandemic.
These are the people who are treating disease. For them, the most valuable asset in America is a sick child. They don't want your child dead. They want him sick for life. Zealots depend on their products. And the more statins they prescribe for heart disease, the more heart disease goes up. The more metformin they prescribe for diabetes, the more diabetes we have. The more antidepressants they prescribe, the more people we have who are depressed. The more Ambien they prescribe, the more insomnia there is. The more opioids they prescribe, the more pain there is. The more Viagra they prescribe, the higher ED goes.
These drugs, their formula, this pharmaceutical paradigm is not working. And President Trump wants to do something different.
One of the anchors of ABC today had an off-the-record discussion and said, "There's so much division in this country." And I said, "That's because you're causing it."
My nephew who's traveled with me for 19 months said, "Everybody who's met President Trump loves President Trump. You can't help but love him." So why does half of America hate him? They haven't met him. And the media is telling them to hate him.
I said, "You're demonizing him. You're vilifying him. You're calling us garbage. You're calling him Hitler. You're calling him a fascist. And of course people are going to hate him."
I asked where he was getting his salary. From pharma. He said, "We tell both sides of the story." And I said, "No, you don't."
He said, "Well, President Trump is saying radical things." I said, "Like what?" He said, "He's going to pull CBS's license." And I said, "He ought to pull CBS's license. CBS doesn't own the airwaves. We do. The people of the United States own the airwaves. CBS is licensed to use the airwaves, but only for a public purpose to advance the public benefit."
We have a doctrine in this country called the fairness doctrine that says if you're licensed to own a network, you got to tell the news at least once a day. And you got to be fair to both sides.
I was running for 19 months. When Ross Perot ran in 1992 for 10 months, he did 34 live interviews on the airwaves on the national networks. I did four in 19 months, and your network never let me on a single time. You're only telling one side of the story and the only thing you'll report about Donald Trump is propaganda to make people despise him.
One of the things I'm going to advise Donald Trump to do in order to correct the chronic disease epidemic is to ban pharmaceutical advertising on TV. There's only two countries in the world that allow pharmaceutical advertising on the airwaves. One of them is New Zealand and the other is us. And we have the highest disease rate and we buy more drugs and they're more expensive than anywhere in the world.
Italy spends about 1/6th what we spend on healthcare and Italians live seven years longer. So whatever they're doing does not work.
Don't you want a president who's going to fix this country? Don't you want a president who's going to end the addiction to foreign wars? And don't you want a president who's going to end the censorship and surveillance and return freedom of speech to our country? And don't you want a president who's going to clean out the corruption and drain the swamp at the regulatory agencies and get the chemicals out of our food and protect our children and restore their health and make America the healthiest country in the world, which it was when I was a kid?
Don't you want a president who's going to make America healthy again? And don't we deserve a president who will make America great again? And will you go to the polls on Tuesday and make sure that we all ride that big garbage truck to Washington DC?
I want to bring on my friend and one of my great heroes, Tucker Carlson.
The impact of Black Lives Matter and their brilliance, they're not going to stop and they should not. The people who are responsible for it are the most dishonest. We've been to the border. You haven't been to the border. And I haven't been to Europe. What you're watching is not a political movement. It's evil. Imagine a government that totally destroys the country and then criminalizes complaining about it.
Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy. The one thing you can't censor is a live event.
When he stood up after being shot in the face, this was no longer a man. This was the leader of a nation. Trump is the man who can save the Western world.
The second you decide to tell the truth about something, you are filled with this power from somewhere else. The more you tell the truth, the stronger you become. Free speech is the main right that you have. Without it, you have no other.
I've set up and taken down this stage with my own two hands. We've traveled this land back tight minivans. All this for the fans, girls, money and fame. I played their game and had to scream my name. I will show no shame. I live and die for this.
I was just standing backstage with my wife who never comes to events like this. She's not very political, but she has very strong political feelings. So strong that she doesn't like to hear about politics because it winds her up. And she says, two seconds ago, she goes, and she's a very sweet person from a religion teacher. And she goes, I want to introduce you. And she has that kind of crazed look in her eye. And I said, I don't know if that's a good idea. Why do you want to introduce me? And she said, because I want to lead the crowd in a chant, we are not garbage. And I thought that's it right there. The abuse that the best people in the country have taken for the past 8 years is too much. You're garbage. Really? Listen to who's saying that.
I am really grateful to be here. I never thought that I would be speaking at a rally for Donald Trump. This is the fourth time I've done it. And it has felt not only like an honor and a privilege every time, but it has felt really natural. I'm sort of surprised.
I was in journalism for 33 years hanging around the... I know someone just said, "Woo, it's nothing to brag about. Trust me. I honestly feel like saying I was young and I needed the money." It's almost like when the naughty pictures of you emerge and you're like, "Ah, you know, that was the old me."
But I spent my whole life standing at the back watching and I always thought, politicians, they're disgusting. By the way, I still think that. I would never get on stage and endorse one. You'd have to be totally bereft of a soul to do something like that. And here I am with a full-throated, utterly sincere endorsement of Donald Trump. How did that happen?
I was thinking about that this morning in the shower where I do my best thinking. I like thinking in the shower because there's no lying to yourself in the shower. Because when you walk out of the shower and you see this kind of furry, lumpy primate in the mirror, there's no imagining you're God. No, it's very grounding to see yourself naked at least once a day. I always think I got to hang a black sheet over that mirror, but I keep it just to keep me on the ground and with perspective.
I've known Donald Trump a long time just from working in television. What people forget about Donald Trump who was often described as a real estate developer, a casino owner, both of which are true, but that for a huge chunk of his life, 10 years anyway, he had the number one show on television. He had mastered the business that I was in.
Television is kind of a repulsive business. It's like a PDY party every night. But on the other hand, the people who are really, really successful, and Trump was number one in television all have one thing in common, which is they understand people. And the good ones like people and so they're liked back.
In the TV business, which has spent the last 8 years telling you Trump is a terrifying dictator, he was loved. I mean everyone loved him and I liked him. I liked him from the first time I talked to him 20 years ago. He was hilarious and interesting and smart and again, incredibly funny.
It was almost 10 years ago. It was the winter of 2015. I was in the car. I actually interviewed Trump that morning. I was working on a TV network that shall not be named. And Trump was the guest and he was of course this famous star on another network. And he did great like he always did. We had a great time.
About 3 hours later I was in the car going somewhere and he called me and he said, "I just want you to know that I'm thinking of running for president." And I just did not take it seriously at all. And I said, "Oh yeah, I'm running for
Tucker Carlson described how his endorsement of Donald Trump developed over nearly a decade. He recalled that in 2015, Trump called him and said he was going to run for president. Carlson wrote down the conversation in his calendar because something in Trump's voice suggested resolve that differed from the Trump he thought he knew. Carlson noted that almost 10 years later, Trump has transformed the country, the world, and the Republican Party.
Carlson explained that the first thing he noticed was that establishment Republicans immediately hated Trump. He described being at a Christmas party in 2015 in Northwest DC where his wife said she liked Trump, and neighbors reacted as if she had said something shocking and dangerous. This reaction occurred despite Trump's positions being moderate and sensible, such as having a border and requiring NATO countries to contribute financially.
Carlson realized that Trump was threatening because he asked questions that establishment figures could not answer. When Trump suggested policies like tariffs, critics responded with accusations of racism rather than substantive debate. Over time, Carlson concluded that people hated Trump because they were guilty of crimes, and those people were his neighbors and co-workers in Washington DC.
Carlson described Washington DC as the richest city in America where eight out of ten richest suburbs were located, yet no actual business or production occurred there. He stated that wealth came from stealing, and the arrival of Trump threatened this system. He noted that neither he nor Trump initially understood how corrupt the city was, and that even before Trump arrived, the CIA and FBI were working to destroy him.
Carlson explained that disclosure means sunlight and transparency about what government does with taxpayer money. He argued that citizens have an absolute moral right to know what government does in their name, not as a privilege granted conditionally. He specifically questioned what happened to the hundred billion dollars sent to Ukraine over the past two and a half years, noting there has never been an audit.
Carlson stated that classified information prevents Americans from knowing the scale or details of crimes that made people rich and hurt American citizens. He expressed concern about what would happen if Trump returns to Washington with reformers like Bobby Kennedy and Elon Musk who know where bodies are buried and have shovels to dig them up.
Carlson made several pointed comments about Democratic figures. He noted that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose last name is Cortez, speaks as a revolutionary while being named after a conquistador. He referenced AOC's statement that Doug Emhoff is the model of masculinity. Carlson advised unmarried women not to date feminist men, stating that the weak ones are dangerous and the strong ones are afraid of exposure.
Carlson warned against underestimating what opponents are capable of, stating that for them this is not just an election but something much bigger. He described these people as believing they have a moral right to rule and that others were born in the servant class. He emphasized that Donald Trump has faced every power center in the United States and the world since calling Carlson in winter 2015 about running for president.
Carlson defined a real man as a cheerful man who is brave because brave people have hope from having a mission and being strong inside. He stated that Trump proved this on the day he was shot in the face, making a joke about it that night when Carlson spoke with him.
Carlson described Trump's response to being shot as the most revealing moment he has seen in any person he has known personally. He noted that Democrats on MSNBC and the internet accused Trump of faking the attempt because nobody could be that brave. Carlson argued that masculinity remains indispensable even in an age of Uber Eats and air conditioning, and that a brave man is still needed in charge because unexpected things happen.
Carlson referenced Mike Tyson's quote that everybody has a plan until they get hit in the face, noting that Trump's response to being shot revealed his leadership qualities through instinct rather than planning.
Trump stated that his motivation is called Make America Great Again and that is all he thinks about. He explained that he could be on a beach with waves hitting him in the face but finds that boring compared to his mission. Trump noted that he always likes to look forward rather than dwelling on the present or past, though he believes you have to learn from history.
Trump described having moments when he does not feel good about things but tries not to focus on negativity. He emphasized the power of positive thinking and described his effort as a mission he is on.
Trump explained that he would not have run again if he had not done well in the second election, noting he received millions more votes than in 2016, which rarely happens to a president. He stated that Barack Obama got fewer votes in his reelection than in his first election.
Trump decided to run again after watching Biden's administration, describing Biden as grossly incompetent and noting that Kamala Harris came in last in the Democratic primary, finishing 22nd out of 22 candidates and never making it to Iowa.
Trump described the border as the single biggest issue facing the country, larger even than inflation. He stated that prisons from around the world, including the Congo and Africa, are being emptied into the United States. He specifically mentioned Venezuela allowing thousands of their roughest prisoners to come to America, noting that Venezuela's crime rate has decreased by 70-72% as a result.
Trump stated that criminals, drug dealers, and drug lords have been taken from Caracas and delivered to the United States.

Transgender athletes are breaking records in women's volleyball, swimming, and weightlifting. Records that stood for 18 years are being broken by hundreds of pounds. The speaker questions why transgender operations are being performed by the thousands, noting that people are rushed into operating tables simply for expressing interest in transitioning.
The speaker identifies three possible explanations for policies that lack common sense: stupidity, hatred of the country, or desire to cheat on elections by signing up non-citizens to vote. Nobody has ever approached the speaker requesting that men be allowed to play in women's sports, suggesting these issues serve to break down the country.
Adam Schiff is described as an unattractive person both inside and out, with the smallest neck the speaker has ever seen. Schiff is characterized as a dishonest but intelligent person who will likely become a senator.

The speaker's son Don was falsely accused of involvement with Russia despite knowing nothing about the country. A Russian lawyer meeting related to the Novitzky Act regarding child adoption was misrepresented.
The fake news media amplified the Russia story, which was originally intended as a one-day distraction by Democrats. The speaker sued the New York Times and Washington Post over their Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the Russia hoax and wants the reporters to return their awards.
The speaker describes their communication method as "the weave" - covering many subjects while always returning to the main point, distinguishing it from rambling.
Schiff emerged from an intelligence meeting to tell the press that Donald Trump Jr. would spend many years in prison, knowing the accusations were fabricated. The Mueller report completely exonerated the Trump family despite having 18 radical left investigators and Mueller himself.
The speaker has always been a believer but acknowledges not being the most devout Christian. References Robert Jeff from Texas who stated Trump may not be the best Christian but is the leader who will take the country to the promised land. The speaker has strong evangelical and Christian support.
While acknowledging external threats from China, Russia, and North Korea, the speaker emphasizes the greater danger from internal enemies who would like to transform the country into a communist or fascist state. These individuals are described as the greatest con artists.

The speaker supports one-year jail sentences for burning the American flag. Two months prior, rioters sprayed limestone lions and burned American flags in Washington DC.
The CIA and FBI are prohibited by law from influencing American politics, yet both agencies worked against Trump on behalf of the Democratic Party from 2016 onward and continue doing so.
Trump was only in Washington 17 times before becoming president and had to rely on establishment figures. He fired many people who didn't align with his agenda, noting that firing can be done nicely or abruptly.
Bolton was appointed despite warnings he was "dumb as a rock." His aggressive stance was useful in negotiations with North Korea and Russia, as foreign leaders perceived him as wanting war, giving Trump leverage.
Trump stopped the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from Russia to Germany despite being called a Russian puppet. Putin reportedly told Trump that stopping this pipeline was the biggest economic blow to Russia.
Biden approved the Nord Stream 2 pipeline while stopping the Keystone pipeline. The speaker notes the irony of Germany paying Russia billions for oil while being protected from Russia.
Success depends entirely on having the right people. Trump compares this to real estate management where moving a good superintendent from one building to another transforms performance. The speaker acknowledges inexperience in government when first elected.

Trump states he always wanted to win and rejects the story that he was miserable about the victory.
Trump describes watching Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton compete for the Democratic nomination, then facing Clinton in the general election. He characterizes Clinton as a smart woman who is "much smarter than Kamala" but notes she lies significantly less than Kamala Harris. Trump states that Clinton was "a liar, a horrible scoundrel" but that Harris "lies so much" and is a "low IQ individual" who "doesn't even know she's lying."
Trump argues that Harris should not be president, stating "this is not what you want for your president" and that "we love our country too much" to have her in office. He references "four years of it" as the limit a country can take, implying the Biden-Harris administration.
Trump emphasizes that he had never been a politician before becoming president and had to select people for his administration. He mentions Robert Lighthizer for trade policy and notes they had "a lot of great people." He stresses that "it's all about the people" and "you got to have the right people."
Trump recalls that when he ran in 2016, the "leaders and heroes of the Republican party were the Bush and Cheney families." He addresses Liz Cheney running against him with Kamala Harris, stating "I think it hurts Kamala a lot actually."
Trump describes Liz Cheney as "a deranged person" who wanted to stay in Iraq and Syria. He notes that he defeated her in her home state with her losing "by almost 40 points," the highest margin in congressional history. Trump states the reason she could not stand him is that "she always wanted to go to war with people" while he does not want war.
Trump argues that endless wars are dangerous, result in many deaths, and are expensive, which is why the United States owes "36 trillion dollars." He contrasts this with historical warfare where "to the victor belong the spoils" - meaning the winning country would take resources like oil.
Trump criticizes U.S. policy of bombing countries and then leaving without gaining anything. He describes how Iran and Iraq were "similar powers" that fought each other for "a thousand years" as a self-check, but U.S. intervention destroyed Iraq and allowed Iran to dominate the region. He states Iraq is now "like a subsidiary of Iran."

Trump recounts that despite his criticism of Cheney, Cheney endorsed him immediately upon his announcement. Trump mentions Scooter Libby as someone who "could have done great destruction to Bush" but was "left behind" and "given to the prosecutors." Trump states that when he became president, he called Cheney about Libby and eventually pardoned him, despite never having met Libby before.
Trump describes Cheney calling him after the pardon, saying "that was so incredible what you did for Scooter Libby" and that "it's one of the nicest things I've ever seen done in politics." Cheney reportedly told Trump he was glad he had endorsed him.

Trump addresses claims from the January 6th committee that he grabbed Secret Service agents by the neck and in chokeholds when told he could not go to the Capitol.

Trump states both agents testified the story was "ridiculous" and "totally made up."
Trump refers to the committee as the "unselect committee" rather than the "select committee," calling members "political hacks" and "political thugs." He states that Kevin McCarthy made a mistake by not putting Jim Jordan and Jim Banks on the committee, leaving only Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney as Republican representatives.
Trump claims the committee "burned and destroyed and deleted everything" because they discovered Nancy Pelosi was at fault for not providing security, and that the stories about him attacking Secret Service agents were false. He states this constitutes "the greatest cover up" and that the committee was "guilty as hell."
Trump denies considering pardoning Hunter Biden, stating "No" when asked directly. He expresses dislike for the weaponization of government against him, mentioning the documents case he won in Florida.

He mentions sailing trips taken six times during the year. Trump also references Letitia James' office and claims all cases are "run out of Washington."

Trump expressed amazement at the precision, stating he didn't know whether he was watching a science fiction movie or the news.
Trump emphasized the need to cherish brilliant people like Elon Musk, noting that America doesn't have too many of them. He praised Musk's capabilities and expressed desire for such talent to work on behalf of the country.
Trump recounted saving over a billion dollars on the Air Force One contract with Boeing by refusing to pay inflated prices. He cited the Gerald Ford aircraft carrier, which cost $20 billion and doesn't work properly due to the decision to use electric catapults instead of steam. Trump stated he would end the electric vehicle mandate on day one, emphasizing the need for gasoline alongside electric options.
Musk believes he can cut $2 trillion from government costs without affecting services, which would eliminate the entire federal deficit.

Trump warned against following Germany's green energy approach, which nearly destroyed their economy when wind stopped blowing.

Trump argued that forcing America to go electric plays into China's hands, as they control battery production while America has abundant oil and gas resources.
Trump criticized plans to make army tanks electric, noting the massive batteries would require a "wagon" to carry them. He called this concept of "green wars" crazy. The trucking industry has warned Trump that electric trucks would destroy their industry due to weight issues affecting bridges and roadways.
Truckers informed Trump that electric trucks are two and a half times heavier than diesel trucks, requiring every bridge and roadway in America to be rebuilt. Electric trucks would need six stops between New York and Los Angeles compared to diesel trucks requiring none. The larger batteries would also reduce payload capacity significantly.
Trump called for one-day elections, all paper ballots, and voter ID requirements. He emphasized the need for fair elections and expressed concern about cheating in Pennsylvania.

He noted massive attendance figures including 107,000 in New Jersey, 101,000 in Butler, 114,000 in California, 88,000 in South Carolina, and 68,000 in Alabama. Trump stated these crowds exceed those of Ronald Reagan at his peak.
Trump expressed sadness that these massive rallies will never happen again after the election. He noted that future candidates, even Ronald Reagan returning from the dead, would only draw 250-300 people to events. Trump stated this phenomenon has never occurred before in any country.
Trump explained that MAGA stands for "Make America Great Again" and criticized Biden for appearing not to understand the acronym. He described the movement as representing people tired of being called a "stupid country" run by "stupid people."
