And I'll tell you something, I wish he was a great president because I wouldn't be here right now. I'd be at one of my many places enjoying myself. I wouldn't be under indictment because I wouldn't have been his political opponent because he indicted me because I was his opponent. I wish he was a great president. I would rather have that. I wouldn't be here. I don't mind being here. The only reason I'm here is he's so bad as a president that I'm going to make America great again. We're gonna make America great again.

When you think about the Joe Biden you saw in the debate, ask yourself a question. Do you think the guy who was defeated by the stairs, got taken down by his bike, lost a fight with his jacket and regularly gets lost, makes it four more years in the White House? And you know who's waiting behind him, right? Vote Joe Biden today and Kamala Harris tomorrow. I'm Donald Trump and I approve this message.

No matter what Joe Biden promised in the debate, ask yourself, are you financially better off since he became president? Are you and your family safer since he became president? Is our country more secure since he became president? After four years of failure under Joe Biden, it's time to make America prosperous and strong again. Donald Trump for president again. I'm Donald Trump, and I approve this message.

Like so many politicians, this man is just a complainer. He said, "We want to do this, we want to do that, we want to get rid of this tax, that tax." But he doesn't do anything. All he does is make our country unsafe by allowing millions and millions of people to pour in. Our military doesn't respect him. We look like fools in Afghanistan. We didn't stop Israel. It was such a horrible thing that would have never happened. It should have never happened. Iran was broke. Anybody that did business with Iran, including China, they couldn't do business with the United States. They all passed. Iran was broke. They had no money for Hamas or Hezbollah, for terror. No money whatsoever. Again, Ukraine should have never happened. He talks about all this stuff, but he didn't do it. For three and a half years, we're living in hell. We have the Palestinians, and we have everybody else rioting all over the place. You talk about Charlottesville. This is a hundred times Charlottesville, a thousand times. The whole country is exploding because of you. Because they don't respect you. And they have to respect their president. And they don't respect you throughout the world. What we did was incredible. We rebuilt the military. We got the largest tax cut in history, the largest regulation cut in history. The reason he's got jobs is because I cut the regulations that gave jobs, but he's putting a lot of those regulations back on. All of the things that we've done, nobody's ever seen anything. Even from a medical standpoint, right to try. Well, we can try space age materials instead of going to Asia or going to Europe and trying to get, when you're terminally ill, now you can go and you can get something. You sign a document. They've been trying to get it for 42 years. But you know what we did for the military was incredible choice for our soldiers. Where our soldiers, instead of waiting for three months to see a doctor, can go out and get themselves fixed up and readied up and take care of themselves and their living. And that's why I had the highest approval rating in the history of the VA. So all of these things, we're in a failing nation, but it's not going to be failing anymore. We're going to make it great again.

Nobody's ever created an economy like us. Nobody ever cut taxes like us. He's the only one I know. He wants to raise your taxes by four times. He wants to raise everybody's taxes by four times. He wants to trump tax cuts to expire. So everybody, including the two of you, are going to pay four to five times. Nobody ever heard of this before. All my life I'd grow up and I see politicians talking about cutting taxes. When we cut taxes, as I said, we did more business. Apple and all these companies, they were bringing money back into our country. The worst president in history by far, and everybody knows it.

I reverse Trump's detrimental asylum policies. - An arraignment is scheduled this morning for the man accused of murdering Etna cheerleader, Elizabeth Medina, you see here. 23-year-old Rafael Romero is charged with capital murder. He allegedly stabbed Medina back in December. Her mom found her body in a bathtub. Court documents show Romero overstayed a work visa. - Every executive order this president has issued relating to the border is gonna be pulled back. We're not gonna be fooling with that. - Brandon Ortiz Vitay is a citizen of Mexico and he faces life in prison without the possibility of parole in relation to the death of Grand Rapids woman Ruby Garcia. The violent offender was previously deported under the Trump administration in September of 2020. - Rolling back the policies have remained in Mexico. I make no apologies for that. - Arrest made in the murder of 20-year-old Hartford County woman, Aberdeen police say a 17-year-old from El Salvador is responsible for the death of Kayla Hamilton. July of last year, Hamilton was found along the side of East Inca Street, strangled to death. DNA evidence connected the 17-year-old suspect to her death. Investigators also believe the teen is a member of the gang, MS-13, and in the U.S. illegally. - The idea that they are being sent home by this guy and they wanna do that, we owe them. We owe them. - The death of 37-year-old Rachel Marin, a mother of five, rocked the Hartford County community. Her body discovered along the Ma and Pa trail in Bel Air. - According to officials, Martinez Hernandez entered the U.S. illegally last year from El Salvador, where he was wanted for murder. - American citizens are not safe because of failed immigration policies. This is the second time in just two years that an innocent Hartford County woman has lost her life to a criminal in our country illegally. - And those who come seeking asylum, we should immediately have the capacity to absorb them. - No one will be deported in my administration. - This is the first time ever you've had to seek asylum in a third country. It's outrageous. - We immediately surge through the border. All those people are seeking asylum. - You only arrest for the purpose of dealing with a felony that's committed, and I don't count drunk driving as a felony. - There's incredible heartbreak, and it all involves the murder of Laken Riley. There she is, she was a nursing student. - The charges against this man are malice murder, felony murder, kidnapping, false imprisonment, aggravated assault, aggravated battery. - Before their immigration hearing, Jose was arrested for writing a moped with their five-year-old son while doing food deliveries. At that point, ICE could have taken Jose into custody. - Should undocumented immigrants arrested by local police be turned over to immigration officials? - No. - Only felons get deported and everyone else has to pay. - Yes.

(dramatic music) - At tonight, we can proudly say the state of our union is strong and getting stronger. There's no accident, it's bite-nomics. That's bite-nomics, that's investing in America. And guess what? It's working. - Inflation rising. - Gas prices are surging. - Bump order is in chaos. - We've seen billions of illegal immigrants pour over the corner. - Shootings, carjackings, and robberies happening by the day. - We have rescinded so many Trump immigration policies, it would take so much time to list them. - The place is not going away. - People can't afford groceries. - Races have skyrocketed. - Shelter up 20% energy costs up 30%. - Israel has declared it is at war. - Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. - Bad for working families, bad for American jobs, bad for the world border and stability.

When I argued if we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security as well. And I not only tried it once, I tried it twice, I tried it a third time, and I tried it a fourth time. Raising the cap, raising the retirement age for people that are now 30 years old, raising the tax on Social Security, cutting benefits, they're all things that have to be discussed, quite frankly. American people know we have to fix Social Security. They know we can't grow our way to a solution. They know we're going to have to make some tough decisions. Would you consider looking at those programs, age of eligibility, cost of living, put it all on the table? The answer is absolutely you have to. We are going to change the retirement age for Social Security. We will always protect Social Security and Medicare for our great seniors. Biden can't do that. As president, I kept that promise, and I will keep it once again. I will not, under any circumstances, allow either of these two precious gems to be even touched under a Trump administration. You will always have your Social Security in full as you have it now, and you always have your Medicare. Social Security will be strong and powerful. Medicare will be strong. You deserve it. I will always protect Medicare and Social Security for our great seniors.

And the only reason that he can play games with NATO is because I got them to put up hundreds of billions of dollars. I said, and he's right about this, I said no I'm not going to support NATO if you don't pay. They asked me that question, would you guard us against Russia at a very secret meeting of the 28 states at that time, nations at that time? And I said no if you don't pay I won't do that. And you know what happened? Billions and billions of dollars came flowing in the next day in the next months.

Now, elsewhere in those remarks, the president did condemn neo-Nazis and white supremacists. So he's not saying that the neo-Nazis and white supremacists are very fine people.

debate. We're trying to justify his presidency. His presidency, he's, without question, the worst president, the worst presidency in the history of our country. We shouldn't be having a debate about it. There's nothing to do.

I came back to Scranton. I started here in Scranton, and I resolved to bring Scranton values to bear. Since the start of this year, House Republicans have uncovered over 20 LLCs used by the Biden family. We've also uncovered over 20 million dollars from China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania going into the Biden family. See, I went to the big guys for the money. I was ready to prostitute myself in the manner in which I talk about it. At least 14 of Hunter Biden's business associates met with then Vice President Biden, ranging from Mexican billionaires to a former Colombian president to Ukrainian and Russian energy executives. If you're sitting with a foreign business person and you hear the vice president's voice, that's surprising. On that laptop, a trove of emails detailing Hunter's apparent business dealings. I have brought every single person you have ever asked me to bring to the effing White House and the vice president's house and the inauguration. Tax fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, as well as whether Hunter, James Biden and their business associates complied with foreign lobbying laws. Including an effort to connect his father, then Vice President Biden, to a Ukrainian energy company where Hunter sat on the board. Also had dealing with a Chinese state government run company while you were vice president. Was that wrong? No.

The President reportedly said, I emphasize reportedly said, that those who sign up to serve instead of doing something more lucrative are suckers. I want to address what is quite clearly fake news. The story in the Atlantic has been categorically debunked by eyewitnesses and contemporaneous documents. There is nobody that feels more strongly about our soldiers. Our wounded warriors are soldiers that died in war than I do. He cares about this country. More importantly to me, he cares about my son, he cares about the military. He's been so caring to me and my family. And two, I appointed Johnson to the academy, I just want you to know that. Just clap for that, you stupid bastard. Now come these upsetting images of hundreds of troops sleeping on the floor of a parking garage. And if this makes your blood boil, you are not alone. President Biden facing backlash for what critics are calling a lack of respect after walking out on a distinguished veteran during a Medal of Honor ceremony in the White House. In reference to the checking of his watch, that didn't happen just once. That happened on every single one that came out of that airplane. I actually leaned into my son's mother's ear and I said, I swear to God, if he checks his watch one more time and that was only probably four times in, I couldn't look at him anymore after that. I found to be the most disrespectful thing I've ever seen. President Biden, he's often called the consoler in chief. He does talk to families who have lost loved ones because of his own experiences. Have you experienced that from him as you've been coping with the death of your own? No. Have you spoken to him? No. He has not reached out to our family. We've actually reached out to the White House and have never heard back. Two minutes later, he walks in with him and Jill Biden and their little entourage of people and like photographer and right away, like remember him coming up to me trying to shake my hand, like I try to shake my right hand and I look at him and I'm like, I don't have an arm. And my left arm is in this big cast with this giant orange phone block around it. I completely immobile. All I can do is move my head and my arms going like, I don't have an arm. And he says, oh, and like kind of stands up and then like goes over to reach for my fingers because about an inch of my fingers are showing and just like grabs my fingers. And say, it doesn't greet me or anything. Just that's what happened. Just grabbed my fingers almost immediately starts talking like about how their son served in the military. It doesn't say anything about what happened starts talking about how their son served in the military. And my mom is just like, she's furious at this point and they're like taking pictures and stuff. And she goes, she was like, my mom said this, she was like, I don't care about say, I don't care what you guys do. She's like, you better take care of him for the rest of his life. And he comes over to me and he leans over me and I have a picture of this to prove it. I'll show you this picture that I have. He leans over me and he was like this close to my face. What do you want? I said, what do you want? He said, what do you want? And I was like confused. I just got blown up. I just fucking saw my friends die next to me and I just want to be myself. We have a president who does not understand those solemn moments. He is a master at capturing the anger of the American people, but he is not skilled at capturing the hearts and the minds and the souls of the American people.

I tell you what happened, he was so bad with Afghanistan, it was such a horrible embarrassment, most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, that when Putin watched that and he saw the incompetence that he should have fired those generals, like I fired the one that you mentioned, and so he's got no love lost, but he should have fired those generals. No general got fired for the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, Afghanistan, so we left billions of dollars of equipment behind, we lost 13 beautiful soldiers, and 38 soldiers were obliterated, and by the way we left people behind too, we left American citizens behind. When Putin saw that, he said, you know what, I think we're going to go in and maybe take my, this was his dream, I talked to him about it, his dream, the difference is he never would have invaded Ukraine, never, just like Israel would have never been invaded.

I'm going to continue to move until we get the total ban on the total initiative relative to what we're going to do with more border patrol and more asylum officers. >> President Trump? >> I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don't think he knows what he said either.

I gave you the largest tax cut in history. I also gave you the largest regulation cut in history. That's why we had all the jobs. And the jobs went down, and then they bounced back. And he's taking credit for bounced back jobs. You can't do that. He also said he inherited 9% inflation. No, he inherited almost no inflation, and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn't know what they were doing. And they don't know what they were doing. who's the worst, probably the worst, administration in history.

healthcare system, making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the COVID, excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with, look, if we finally beat Medicare.

Number two. That $2 trillion tax code benefited the very wealthy. What I'm going to do is fix the tax system. For example, we have a thousand billionaires in America.
