I just landed in a really beautiful place, Montana. So beautiful flying over, and you just look down, and that's the way it's supposed to be. But we have a very high rating in Montana. We have a lot of popularity. I like them, they like me. But I'm here to do some fundraisers, and most importantly, to support Tim Sheehy, who's running for the U.S. Senate. And we think he's gonna do really well. We're gonna have a rally, and it'll be a lot of fun. And then tomorrow we're gonna do some more different stops, different states, all good, all great people. And we're leading in all of the polls now. Just about every poll has us leading. They found out that this is a phony that we're running against, a person that had no idea what she was doing on the border, has no idea what's happening with inflation, had no idea what they did when it came to Afghanistan, the most embarrassing day in the life, in the life of our country. There's never been anything so embarrassing. We should've gotten out with dignity and strength, not the way they got out. It's an embarrassment to our country. So we have a great campaign. We have something that's going to be really very important. It's called, we are going to make America great again. And it's gonna happen very fast. We're gonna become energy independent again. Prices are gonna start going down, including for food, for energy, and everything else. And we're gonna really do a job. Thank you very much.

So we're standing exactly in the path where the president will walk out to the crowd about an hour from now, and there's a malfunction with the flag. Be careful! The hood's rocking with Trump. Trump's definitely got the black vote back. Make an America great again. Donald Trump is the boss. And when you think you're in control, Donald Trump does something that says you're not in control. You think Biden could do this? I don't think so. What is the campaign specifically doing differently now? If there's one word to describe it, it's just execution. Biden's just taken the stage of the debate. The standard is not, are you able to stand up for 90 minutes? I can't even understand him right now. Trump is like riding a great racehorse, right? You put the blinders on, you guide him into the corners, and you let him run. Look at how many people are showing up for a rally. Everyone, please just make sure you're ready in 30 seconds. Let's go America! The president's been shot, I repeat, the president's been shot. USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

Like Democrats should be furious that this has been going on Democrats should say hold on I don't want to see another campaign speech I want to know why my president elect has been immensely decline and you have been defending him The press has been defending him. That's what the discussion should be about So before we get into like, you know, why Kamala and is she the most competent person for the job? Let's look at the fact that we've all had wool pulled over our eyes And as someone who did vote for Biden and I voted for a competent Mentally sharp Biden to be running my country from 2020 to 2024 I feel misled not because he went into cognitive decline like that shit happens, but the moment that happened They should have fessed up and say, you know what? Here's our transition plan Kamala is gonna step up We're gonna let Biden, you know Go to Wisconsin and retire on a ranch cuz and honor him for his years of service And now we're gonna find through a democratic process the best Democrat to lead the party Not the person who we can slot in without due process and say well look at her She looks not like Trump. So vote for her that is fucked up. And that's what we actually need to be talking about

I'll give me a break. Listen, I had a hundred and seven thousand people in New Jersey. You didn't report it. I'm so glad you asked. What does she have yesterday? Two thousand people? If I ever had two thousand people, you'd say my campaign is finished. It's so dishonest, the press. And here's a great example. I had in Michigan recently twenty five thousand people and twenty five thousand people were just we just couldn't get them in. We had in Harrisburg twenty twenty five thousand people and twenty thousand people couldn't get in. We had so many nobody ever mentions that when she gets fifteen hundred people and I saw it yesterday on ABC, which they said, oh, the crowd was so big. I have ten times, twenty times, thirty times the crowd size. And they never say the crowd was big. That's why I'm always saying turn around the cameras. I'm so glad you asked that. I think it's so terrible when you say, well, she has fifteen hundred people, a thousand people, and they talk about, oh, the enthusiasm. Let me tell you, we have the enthusiasm. The Republican Party and me as a candidate, but the Republican Party has the enthusiasm because people want to see crime stopped. They want to see a country that's respected. Think of it. If I were president, you wouldn't have Russia and Ukraine where it never happened. Zero chance. You wouldn't have had October 7th of Israel. You wouldn't have the horrible withdrawal. And I don't mean the withdrawal because the withdrawal was fine. I was ready to withdraw from Afghanistan and we were going to do it with dignity and strength. And we were going to we were keeping our equipment. We weren't leaving eighty five billion dollars worth of equipment behind it. We wouldn't have had thirteen great soldiers. I know the families of those soldiers. Well, we wouldn't have had your soldiers killed and we wouldn't have had forty five forty five soldiers obliterated. No legs, no arms, the face. None of that would have happened. And you wouldn't have had inflation. You wouldn't have had any inflation because inflation was caused by their bad energy problems. Now they've gone back to the Trump thing because they need the votes. They you know, I don't know if you know, they're drilling now because they had to go back because gasoline was going up to seven, eight, nine dollars a barrel. So they said we better do what Trump. But the day after the election, if they won, you're going to have fuel prices go through the roof. Everybody's going to be forced to buy an electric car, which they're not going to do because they don't want that. It's got a great market. It's got a market. It's really a sub market. People want gasoline propelled cars. They want hybrids. They want to have everything and they want electric. But they want everybody to have an electric car. We don't have enough electricity. We couldn't make enough electricity for that. And you know what else? The weight of a car, the weight of a truck. They want all trucks to be electric. Little things that a lot of people don't talk about. The weight of a truck is two and a half times two and a half times heavier. You would have to rebuild every bridge in this country if you were going to do this ridiculous policy. So but on crowd size in history for any country, nobody's had crowds like I have. And you know that. And when she gets a thousand people and everybody starts jumping, you know that if I had a thousand people would say people would say that's the end of his campaign. I have hundreds of thousands of people in South Carolina. I had eighty eight thousand people in Alabama. I had sixty eight thousand people. Nobody says about crowd size with me. But she has a thousand people or fifteen hundred people and they say, oh, the enthusiasm's back. No, no. The enthusiasm is with me and the Republican Party because they want to stop crime. They want to stop people from pouring into our country from places unknown and from countries unknown from countries that nobody ever heard of. That's where the enthusiasm.

She can't even answer a fucking question and she can give you five minutes to answer it. And but that these are the people who will go on social media, go on live and say why they gonna vote for Kamala Harris. When they can't name me a single fucking thing this lady has done, name me a single policy this lady has passed to help the middle class, to help the black community, to help minorities, to help the population as a whole become better. They're just gonna vote for her because she's black and they simply don't want Trump back in office. I can name you 10-15 things Trump has done to help the minority community, to help the black community, to help the middle class community as a whole. I'm not a particularly big fan of the guy. I think his mouth is ridiculous. He says a lot of dumb shit that can get people in a lot of trouble. But guess what? I'm talking about policies over feelings, facts over feelings. I would not pick him to be a brand ambassador, no way, shape or form. But in terms of him getting shit done, he is the better candidate over Kamala Harris. But when you say that, you get looked upon as oh my god you're misogynistic, you're racist to your own kind. You can't name me one good thing that Kamala Harris has done, excuse me, for the black community. What has she done for the minority?

My name is Jade. I am a former Democrat. Unlike Kamala Harris, I'm an actual real-life black woman. And I'm a former Democrat who is currently registered Republican. I stand here before you today because I'm tired. I'm tired of the Democrats using the generational trauma of my people to garner votes. They invoke fear. They tell me I'm oppressed. They tell me I'm less than. They tell me I'm not good enough. And they tell me that my white brothers and sisters in Christ are my enemy. They are not. As a follower of Jesus Christ, Ephesians 5 11 tells me I must expose the works of the enemy. And the enemy is telling me that don't worry that I can't pay my bills, that I'm working six days a week this week and I'm tired. And I went to school and I have a career. I'm doing worse under this administration than in Donald Trump's administration, but I'm told to be afraid of a man who made my life better. How does that work? Make it make sense. During COVID, I knew more of my white guy friends that lost their jobs than me and my black girlfriends. We are the same in this country. All these Americans want the same thing. We want safety. We want prosperity. We want peace. And the Democrats keep going back and look, check it out, right? I honor my ancestors and the people who fought for us to be in this room here today. No one is discounting what my people went through, but honor them by getting past it and invoking forgiveness in this culture. I'm so tired of being told I need to be afraid. I'm so tired that I need to be told all the time that I have to vote for the Democrats who have done nothing positive for my life at all. My life is totally worse than it was during the Trump administration. Yet I kept having you must vote for the Democrats. We're told this as black people since we were a child. Let's honor our ancestors by doing better and honor them because they're rolling over in their graves hearing the fact that Kamala Harris is having Megan Thee Stallion twerk and showing our bodies as these like just vessels of lust. That's not cool. These women out here are being told that Donald Trump is like their enemy when really Kamala Harris opening up the border. Look what happened to Lake and Riley. She's a woman. She was a woman just like I am. No woman black or white wants that to happen to her. All of these people whose kids are dying, the black moms, the white moms, they all cry the same color tears. So let's move past this. Let's vote for Donald Trump so we can all be prosperous again. Let's get out of this fear, this rage and this anger because it comes from the devil. So hear me black folks. Hear me white folks. We are so much more alike than we are different. We need to forgive each other. We need to help each other and I don't owe the Democrats anything. They owe me. They're to serve us. They're public servants. Stop putting them on a pedestal. Make them work for us.

I can't vote for a party that is for all kinds of sexual perversions. I can't do it. I can't vote for a party that's gonna accept transgenders going into women's restrooms. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't go with a party that wants to cut the girls' breasts off to make them boys. I can't go with a party that says you can be a boy today and a girl tomorrow. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't support a party that wants to remove God from its party platform. You in trouble when the nation forgets God. Well don't make me start, I'm gonna start speaking in tongues. I can't follow a party that wants to sexualize our children in school, put drag queens in front of them, reading them little children's stories. I can't do it. I can't support a party that wants to take the rights of parents away. In California right now, parents are being arrested 'cause they won't go alone with the sexualization of their children. But there are many parents that are compromised. Y'all got to make a decision, see the God or the devil. Give me a little boy there and I'll go. And when you vote, you try to ignore it and say it ain't no big thing. But when you vote for people with these convictions and they get in office and they start doing these things, you got a responsibility for it. If you've compromised in any way, you need to repent. Stand up on your feet and give God some praise.

is this post that you put up about Barack Obama. And it went viral, right? It's got nearly 50,000 likes, 15,000 retweets, and two and a half million views. There's a photo of you and Barack Obama, and you say that I've known Obama since '95. We come out of Chicago together. He knows how it works. He's behind the campaign to dump 15 million Dem primary votes and replace Biden. This was his choice. Classic Chicago Democrat machine politics, selection over election, the bosses over the people. We've been saying that Kamala Harris is illegitimately installed, and that this is one of the most anti-democratic things that have ever happened in the history of American politics. And pretty much a major black eye in the party of protecting democracy. It's quite an ironic turn. I wanted to give you just a chance to unpack this because there's been very much this cloak and dagger campaign against Biden, and you're saying that Obama ran it. Wow, what a backstab. Well, yes, they ought to call today's Democratic Party the undemocratic party. Because how they dumped Biden was right out of the back room. Classic old-time Chicago backroom politics. In the old days, the political bosses didn't look like Nancy Pelosi or Barack Obama. They were some cigar-chomping guys with pinky rings. But they called the shots in the shadows of the back room in the old days. And then he had the advent of television. And then now social media and all these other things. And the thought that now today, this party would do the same thing in full view, out in the open, in broad daylight, to essentially pull their incumbent president out of the race after the hoodwinked 15 million Democratic primary voters who voted for him, knowing full well that his cognitive issues were there then, just like they are now. And the only reason they did it was because they looked at the polling after that, the disastrous debate he had with President Trump. And so for political expediency, not for doing what's right for the people, they decided to get together in the back room and do what they did and how they did it and get Biden thrown off the ticket. Now what's going to happen, then, is they have a candidate who, the more you see her, the more you don't like her. The more you see her, the more you realize she's just not after the job. The more you see her, the more you realize she's a mile wide and about an inch thick. There's no substance to her. And she's malleable and moldable. And she's-- well, they're just going to hide her. It's what they're going to do. And this is so dishonest that a democracy, when you actually hide a candidate, you did it in 2020 with Biden, they got away with it. You watch, they're going to do that with her as well. Because they're going to keep a really scripted, really tight, and away from any kind of interaction with everyday people. And I think the contrast between that style and Trump's-- what many people think is sort of an undisciplined style, I think that contrast is going to be really profound. Because one thing you'll say about Trump's style, whether you think it's undisciplined or not, I think it's refreshing, because I think it's authentic and I think it's honest. And I think it's why people-- a lot of Democrats, working people who don't want to say it, they're afraid to say it, are supporting Trump and have supported Trump. They appreciate the honesty of the things he says. They're tired of scripted, fake politicians who give two-minute speeches written by David Axelrod, like I did at 4.30 in the morning in Chicago back in 1996. And by the way, Axelrod used to write lines for me and Obama. And when Obama ran for president years later, because he worked for both of us, I would recognize some of these lines. And I'd say, hey, wait a minute, I said that four years ago. Axelrod wrote me that line four years ago. Obama was using it in 2008. So this entire Kamala moment is completely manufactured by Obama, and this decision was made by Barack Obama. Do you have any insights, since you know the entire team, do you have any insights as to how they eventually manipulated Biden into stepping down? Yes, I do. They basically used a stick in the carrot, more stick than carrot. And behind the scenes, using third parties, dispatching them to Biden, into his wife, probably to his son, and maybe his brother, people close to him, top aides, they threatened him. I mean, they've known Biden for as long as they have. Obama knows him better than anybody else in politics, because in order to be his running mate, the Obama team had to vet him. So they've done all kinds of opposition research on Biden. Biden has not just a few skeletons in the closet, because he's been there for so long since 1973. He's got skeletons, many skeletons in many closets. They know it, and they went to him, and they told him stuff. And they basically said, if you don't get out, we're going to drop dimes on you. We're going to leak this to the media that we've now been able to persuade that they think that you're no longer qualified to be president two weeks before you were, but now you're not. We control them, and they work for us. And so they pressured him. And they probably said, look, but if you get out, here's certain things we'll do to make your landing soft. So they probably offered him some carrot as well. This is how it works. This is how they do it. And you know what this reminds me a little bit? Obama in 2024 reminds me a little bit of Lyndon Johnson in 1968, when the Chicago Convention was also held-- when the Democratic Convention was also held in Chicago. Johnson orchestrated Hubert Humphrey's nomination and did it from the back room. And the way Obama is operating is-- and Pelosi, he's not alone. Obama is not doing this alone. But he's certainly the lead figure, the central figure in this. The way they're doing it is very reminiscent of the old school Lyndon Johnson ward boss politics that was so prominent in the '40s, the '50s, and the '60s. He thought it was over in the '70s, '80s, '90s, and 2000s. And now it's back in a more modern form. But either way, it's undemocratic. And the decisions are not being made by the working people of our country or the working people of the Democrat Party. They're being made by Obama and others from the back room. That's incredible. Yes, not a single person has voted for Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris has received zero votes, one zero debates to be president, and had a campaign that failed spectacularly, didn't even make it to Iowa, came in fifth in her home state of California. She was selected, not elected, as you say. So I saw this, and I thought this is a little silly. You're saying they actually brought in the OPPO file, put it down on the desk in front of Biden, and said it'd be a real shame if NBC News got this piece of information about your family. You're saying they did that. Yes, yes, I do. I say they did that several times, whether they did it directly through the use of third parties. And it wasn't just limited to NBC News. They shared with ABC, CBS, CNN, and all the others. Yes, of course, I believe that. What other reason would Biden have to step out? I mean, right now, what he's just done, he's made himself a historic figure. He'll be remembered now for a guy who should have really not been president at all. He's admitted by his action that he's not qualified to be president, he's not capable of handling the job. What other reason would Biden have to get out, except that he was pressured, and they told him basically they were going to withdraw the support. Now, had Biden had the backbone of, let's say, a Donald Trump, and I'm going to throw humility away, or me, who never gave in to the Democrat bosses who were trying to push me out when I was falsely accused by weaponized prosecutors to things that weren't crimes, conversations that were started by Obama in 2008. They criminalized it when I talked about it. But he went to the White House for eight years, and I fought back. They threw my ass in prison for eight years after two trials and fake jury instructions to criminalize legal things. I'm sorry to keep going back to that, but it was a hard and long journey. But I saw what they did to me. And right away, when they realized that I wasn't going to flip on Obama, they went to him the next day and made a deal. And he sold me out. And the whole Democrat establishment came down on me for things that were so obviously not crimes. They should have been supporting their Democratic governor. Instead, they ran, because I became a political problem for Obama. And anyway, it's a long story. I'm writing a book about that. But I recognized that he did Biden, because it happened to me with a lot of these Democrats and who were in power back then, in fact, all of them. And so, no, this is how they do it, 'cause that's what they did to me. They came to me with all kinds of threats, and they also came to me through back channels with all kinds of offers that would have made things for me a lot better, my family a lot better, if I simply played ball and did what they wanted me to do, which I wouldn't do, 'cause I broke no laws and I wasn't gonna sell out the people who elected me or sell out the Constitution or the rule of law, because the fake charges against me were a direct assault on the rule of law and the Constitution. So I stood up, fought back. I sent a person to the United States Senate against the objection of every Democratic US Senator, including Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and all the others. And they'd warned me that if I did that, that I'd be out in six weeks, and that's one campaign promise they actually kept. - So you're saying that the same machine, it's remarkable because I, of course, know this story, but I haven't put them together, and it's now just so clear to me, the same machine that got Biden out came down on you. And so you've seen the intricacies and the teeth of the Obama machine and how this is being run effectively to get what they want extra judiciously and against the will of the people. - My troubles began on election night when Obama won the election in 2008. It was a historic night, magical in Chicago, Grant Park, hundreds of thousands of people there, first black president, big, big event in American history, prominent political figures who were all backstage. The governor of Illinois was certainly there. I was the first governor to endorse Obama. And I was approached by a union boss who was close to both Obama and me, who came up to me. And he said, Barack called me last night. He would like Valerie Jarrett to be the senator, wants to know what you want. Can I call you tomorrow? Come and see it and see if we can put something together and make a deal. Basically, that's what he said. So it was horse trading, it wasn't illegal. And so the next day I mentioned that to my staffers, we begin the process of thinking, what kind of deal can we make? So I'm throwing out all kinds of ideas. They arrested me on this. They lied, and then they went to Obama the very next day. And when they wanted me to say Obama was trying to buy something I was willing to sell, when I told him, look, I wasn't selling anything. He wasn't buying anything, this is just politics. When he was told to Obama that this was the dynamic, they made a deal. And the deal basically was, you leave us alone. You let us stay in here as the US attorneys, 'cause new presidents always pick new US attorneys. But these guys got to stay. So you stay in here, we'll leave you alone, but you don't lift a finger to help this guy. And so that's what happened. And they didn't convict me on their fake charges at a first trial. They tried, then tried to offer me 18 months if I would plead guilty to non crimes, I wouldn't do it. And then they just tried me a second time and just moved the line and criminalized legal things. The exact same thing they did to Trump in New York with fake jury instructions. I see, I think Benny, what they did was they learned against a Democrat governor at the AAA level how to do it. And then they took it to a major legal level against the Republican president, Donald Trump. Same stuff, same people. Fitzgerald was the US attorney in my case. He's tight with Comey, same ones who did this stuff with President Trump and Mueller, all of them. They're all part of the same thing. And to me, this is the biggest issue facing the American people, because this goes to the heart of our freedoms. Our right as citizens to choose our elected officials in elections that are free and fair and not have prosecutors fake up crimes to inject themselves in the political process and change the political dynamic and taking away the decisions from the people. That's what's at stake. I think the greatest constitutional crisis in American history since the Civil War. And that's why, that's among the many reasons why it's so important for voters who love our country to put aside party label and vote for Trump 'cause Trump didn't break a single law. It was also obviously fake, also politicized by weaponized prosecutors working with the Democratic National Committee. The DOJ and the DNC have been working together to do what happened to me to do to Trump. I know this 'cause they did it to me. - Just a absolute bombshell there, Governor. I mean, it's just, we look forward to your book on this and you telling the true story about what happened when Barack Obama asked for his long time aid, Valerie Jarrett, to allegedly be shoved into this Senate rule and Valerie Jarrett still on the payroll of Barack Obama to this very day. - Let me also say, Obama was interviewed the day after when I was arrested, six o'clock in the morning, SWAT teams around my house. I was Roger Stone before Roger Stone. They had SWAT teams at my house, the sitting governor of Illinois, right? So the very next day they go to Obama and he gets interviewed by the FBI. And you have to tell the truth to the FBI. These things are called 302 interviews. Now the defendant, me, on the dock facing these allegations has a constitutional fundamental right to Obama's interview, his 302s. And they never gave it to us. They would never allow it. My lawyers kept trying, filed motions. We never got them. And to this day, those FBI 302s, Obama's interview by the FBI is covered up just like 98% of the FBI tapes was me on the phone talking to Rahm Emanuel and Harry Reid and all kinds of leading political figures about a legal political deal. But all of that's been covered up and the tapes would show how the prosecutors just grossly lied and abused the truth. But those are covered up today as well. So all I can tell you is our country is facing extremely dangerous circumstances today. It's bad enough they did it to a Democrat governor from Illinois, but the thought that they can get away and do this to a Republican candidate for president, the former president and the leading candidate of the opposition party in America, it's chilling. This is KGB police state style politics. And to me, immigration and inflation are major issues. Crime in the streets are major issues, but if we don't fix this, say goodbye to freedom in America because the people don't control anything. The Obama's from the back room control everything.
