00:00We have an incredible opportunity to do something about this insanity in 2024.
00:07If you were trying to destroy America from within, would you do anything differently
00:16than today's Democrat party?
00:17There's one guy that knows that all of our freedoms, our liberties, are worth fighting
00:24for, and that is Donald J. Trump.
00:25We can win, and we can save our country.
00:26And that's why we've got to fight!
00:47What's going on, Michigan?
01:07Well, guys, that's how we know we're not in a Democrat rally.
01:29Because they throw you out on your asses.
01:36Michigan, thank you so much for being here.
01:39Watching this, this kind of momentum, this kind of enthusiasm, this early, tells us everything
01:47that we need to know about what's going to happen to Jim Biden and the radical Democrat
01:54agenda on November 5th.
02:02We've seen insanity over the last four years.
02:07By any objective metric, the policies of the Democrat party have failed America.
02:14They've failed you.
02:16But most importantly, they're failing our future.
02:19They're failing our youth.
02:21And guess what?
02:23The Democrats know it.
02:26It's why they're trying to import votes, because they lost every reliable demographic
02:32they ever had.
02:38And when we shut down our border, and we throw out the Venezuelan drug lords and gang members
02:44that they've been letting flood our streets and our cities and our communities, we can
02:50regain control of our country and put America first once again.
03:00But imagine that, guys.
03:02We're living in a time where saying we're going to put America first is controversial.
03:07That makes you a terrible person.
03:10We've been watching for four years while we've been putting America last.
03:15While we're guarding our enemies, our allies, our supposed corrupt countries, Ukraine, we're
03:20guarding their borders but not our own.
03:23It needs to stop once and for all.
03:28And by the way, for all the young ladies in the crowd, just so we're clear, yesterday,
03:34a whole bunch of Democrats voted to put young women into selective service because, hey,
03:43someone's got to fight these wars and it's not going to be the Democrats.
03:47Now, think about that.
03:54They want to draft young women now.
03:58And by the way, not for a war that's popular, not for a war that has any objective end result
04:07that they've articulated.
04:09You know, they're more than happy to spend their money, but they want to draft our women
04:13for an unpopular war so they can get their board seats in Arabia.
04:17And now is the time to say enough is enough.
04:29We were told the adults were going to be back in charge.
04:34And look at what it's gotten us.
04:37You saw that adults are not in charge.
04:39The morons are in charge, folks.
04:42To be clear, we're never going to surrender.
04:45It's not our style now.
04:47At this point, we've got to fight because, congratulations, if you're in this room right
04:50now, you're probably on the FBI list.
05:04You're in with me, my father, my family, so you're in with good company.
05:13I am on every list except the Epstein list.
05:16We haven't heard anything about that one.
05:21I'm fine with all the other lists.
05:23As long as I'm not on the Epstein list, we're good, right?
05:28Speaking of which, how is it that my father can be convicted of 34 crimes, but no one
05:36on Epstein's list has even been brought to light?
05:39I'm trying to figure out how that's possible, right?
05:46It's almost like they're trying to protect those pedophiles for some reason.
05:49I can't imagine why.
05:51We're not allowed to say they're groomers, but when they act a lot like groomers, it
05:56tells you everything you need to know, right?
06:00For years, we were told the adults were going to be back in charge, and then we had our
06:05disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, 13 incredible Americans killed for nothing.
06:14Because the nature of predation is animals, predators, despots, they see weakness and
06:24they prey on it.
06:25And when America is exuding weakness, you get what we've experienced over the last
06:32few years.
06:33If I was getting a little tired, I'd look like Joe Biden for an imaginary chair.
06:39You see that?
06:40I mean, he usually can't find his way off the stage.
06:42He falls both up and downstairs.
06:45Now he's at the 80th anniversary of D-Day, wanders off into nowhere, does it again at
06:51the G7, sitting in imaginary chairs, and not one person in our mainstream media starts
06:59questioning his confidence.
07:01If Donald Trump did one Joe Bidenism, something that Joe Biden does every day, the entire
07:08force of the mainstream media would be calling for the 25th Amendment, they'd be calling
07:12for engagement, they'd probably get it.
07:14A bunch of the friggin' rhinos in D.C. would go along with them.
07:17We're leading from behind.
07:22There's no one at the helm.
07:24And yet Joe Biden's been able to be effective pushing forward the radical agenda of today's
07:29left, because he doesn't know what they're putting in front of him.
07:33He'll just sign it.
07:34Whether it's Obama, whether it's Valerie Jarrett, whether it's Susan Rice, whoever's making
07:39the actual call understands that they would have loved to have done that in their prior
07:47administration, but they wouldn't have done it because they've got to preserve their legacy.
07:53They're more than happy, more than happy to let Joe Biden sign it all and destroy our
08:00country.
08:01There's a reason the Democrats are all signing on this letter, to draft, essentially, young
08:07women into the military, and it's because there's no more patriots that want to sign
08:13up.
08:14No one's going to sign up to serve under a trans admiral that only got the job because
08:20they're insane.
08:22Hey folks, I've got news for you.
08:30The military recruitment problem, it's not rocket science.
08:35A big part of patriotism, a big part of that potential sacrifice, perhaps your life, is
08:41actually believing in any of the fundamental tenets that you're signing up for.
08:46And these days, that's been so bastardized, so insane, no one's going to do it.
08:53The people you want fighting your wars aren't.
08:56The people you don't probably want fighting your wars are signing up because they get
08:59free sex change operations.
09:02But, true story, and the bigger part is because you're on such intensive meds for a few years
09:08afterwards, you know that if you sign up and get the sex change operation, they'll never
09:13send you to the front lines because they can't.
09:17I don't know folks, seems like a big part of the problem right there, right?
09:22Again, it's not rocket science, but the morons in charge are the same people that told us
09:28after the Afghan withdrawal that they were, and I quote, shocked and dismayed that the
09:37Taliban did not install a more diverse and inclusive government in Afghanistan.
09:43Really?
09:48Hey, guys, if you want to be dismayed about that, that's fine.
09:55If you're shocked, I mean, like a week before that, they would take a homosexual and throw
10:00them off of a building, right?
10:02I mean, they would douse journalists with gasoline and put them in cages and light them
10:07on fire.
10:08I mean, if you're shocked that they didn't have like, I don't know, Leah Thomas heading
10:13up the trans coalition of the Taliban government.
10:17Yeah, you're shocked.
10:23If you're shocked, you're not a serious person.
10:26And yet time and time again, the unserious people are making decisions on our country.
10:32So what's great, what's great, what I see now on a daily basis on the ground, all over
10:41the place is that Americans are finally getting it.
10:45They see through the nonsense.
10:47There is no amount of big tech, no amount of media collusion, multi trillion dollar
10:53industries.
10:54That's going to get people to believe that what they see each and every day with their
11:02own eyes is a lie, right?
11:07By economics, they're telling you it's working.
11:09If you go to the grocery store, if you go to the gas pump, you realize it's not true.
11:14The adults are back in charge.
11:16We're on the verge of war with like three different places.
11:19Russia is parking nuclear destroyers and submarines 90 miles off the coast of Florida.
11:26Hypersonic missiles we're not able to block.
11:29This is what the adults have brought us back in charge.
11:32We're going from signing peace deals in the Middle East to wars everywhere.
11:39And guess what?
11:42Trump can stop them in about 30 seconds.
11:46You just have to be able to have the strength and the resolve to push back against the swamp,
12:05right?
12:06They'll fund it forever.
12:07We signed another $50 billion yesterday, so that was 160 plus 50, we're at 210 billion,
12:12plus probably a lot more.
12:14Remember when the Pentagon lost like another $200 billion?
12:17Like it's, you know, you lost 60 bucks and you don't declare it, the IRS will come after
12:21your ass, okay?
12:22The Pentagon loses $250 billion and they're like, it's the rounding error, you know.
12:27What's $250 between friends?
12:31We can stop this insanity.
12:33We can create an economy.
12:35And you know how I know that?
12:37Because we've done it already.
12:40We've done it once before.
12:47The reality is right now, folks, anyone voting in this election will have actually had real
12:53life experience under both people, okay?
12:57It's not like the usual election where everyone makes promises and they fail, or they make
13:02a lot of promises they have no ability or intention on delivering on, but it sounds
13:06good to get a vote.
13:08When you get to November 5th, the only jury that matters, when you get to November 5th,
13:16you'll have had four years under Trump, you'll have had four years under Biden, and you can
13:21decide for yourself who's been better.
13:24You can decide for yourself who's been better for your future, for your children someday.
13:33And that's all that matters.
13:35We've seen a level of enthusiasm six months out, five months out, like I didn't see in
13:42October of 2020 or October of 2016.
13:47People are getting it.
13:49People from every walk of life, every demographic, every group that's not supposed to vote for
13:54Trump, they are seeing it.
13:56They are impassioned.
13:58They are vocal.
14:01So together, guys, we can do this.
14:06We can push back.
14:08Because we have no choice.
14:11All of it is so simple.
14:13All of it is fixable.
14:16But we have to say enough is enough.
14:19We saw last week your favorite president now has more felony charges than Al Capone.
14:31I think it's kind of gangster at this point.
14:34I don't even care.
14:36I'm in.
14:38100%.
14:40But what we also saw, and you saw the media very quickly trying to point out, Hunter Biden
14:47also was guilty.
14:49Of course he was.
14:51But what they don't tell you is that Joe Biden's DOJ purposely dropped, allowed to expire,
14:58all sorts of corrupt practices, violations, all sorts of bribery schemes, allegations
15:05with paper trails, with bank accounts, with wire transfers.
15:09Hunter's children and Joe Biden's grandchildren getting money from foreign entities for no
15:14reason.
15:15They let that all drop so they can go to you and lie to your faces and pretend that there
15:22is equal justice under our laws.
15:26That vote is gone.
15:29That vote does not exist.
15:32They're trying to create the illusion that it does.
15:36But the second anyone does a little bit of research, the second they look into it, they
15:42understand.
15:44And some of my kids are in the room.
15:47And a couple weeks ago, I took them to McDonald's.
15:53I had two kids.
15:55Two kids.
15:57One was my 11-year-old and the other was my 14-year-old at the time.
16:01I have so many kids, the birthday is a dedicated track.
16:06And when an 11-year-old and a 14-year-old get McDonald's and it's $49, it's too damn
16:15much.
16:16I'm not going to be one of these liberals like you see on...
16:21You know, when you see the political commentators on MSDNC and they're like, my three-month-old
16:26baby was crying about nuclear proliferation on the Korean Peninsula.
16:30They were very impassioned about it.
16:32You know, like they're full of crap when they're woke up.
16:34Like, I get it.
16:35I'm the son of a billionaire.
16:36But if I'm sitting there with sticker shock, if I'm pissed off when I get a bill at McDonald's,
16:44what's a hard-working American family feeling each and every day?
17:03Hey guys, it doesn't have to be this way.
17:07We've seen that we can change it.
17:10We've seen that we can do something about it.
17:13In fact, we actually did it.
17:15And we did it with the most resistance, not just from the media, not just from the Democrats,
17:21but even from our own party.
17:24The difference is now we're going in and we know who the scumbags are.
17:30We're going in now.
17:32And we know those who are going to be loyal, those who will fight for what all of you believe
17:38in, not what the Washington, D.C. swamp was.
17:42And that, folks, is why they're going after my father in the way that they are.
17:47Joe Biden knows that he cannot beat Trump at the ballot box fair and square.
17:52The Democrats know that.
17:54Joe Biden can't walk up a flight of stairs.
17:58So they'll do what they always do.
18:01They'll figure out other ways.
18:03The problem is they overplayed their hand so much that now everyone in America,
18:08even those, not like you guys who are into this stuff, but even those who don't follow,
18:13understand just how broken they are, just how corrupted they are, just how evil they are.
18:20And they've had enough.
18:22Because Americans know that if they can do it to Trump, and if they will do it to Trump,
18:29there is no one that they won't go after and destroy to push their agenda.
18:35So we must all become unafraid.
18:40We must all get in the game.
18:43You've seen it.
18:44One guy out there by himself.
18:46They can cancel the leader of the free world.
18:49They can cancel the most powerful man in the world.
18:52And they will.
18:53But if we get together, if we are unafraid, if we work and get involved and get our friends
19:02to do the same and make sure they understand and know full well what all of the consequences are,
19:08we can and we will win big time on November 5th.
19:13So get out there.
19:17Get out there.
19:19Get in the game.
19:21Get involved.
19:23And fight like your country depends on it.
19:26Because it does.
19:29Thank you very much.
19:59Thank you very much.
