Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the next president of the United States, President Donald J. Trump. We're still today, cause there ain't no doubt I love this land. God bless the USA! From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee, From across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea, From Detroit down to Houston, and New York to LA, Where there's pride in every American heart, and it's time we stand and say, That I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free, That I won't forget the men who died, who gave that light to me, And I'd gladly stand up next to you.

Mr. President, I am proud to announce that all of these sheriffs are among a very small amount of sheriffs and law enforcement across our country that support you. I'd say 80 to 90 percent of law enforcement across this country are behind you, Mr. President. I have something very important I think you're going to want to hear. In Dodge County, in this 2024 election, there are zero drop boxes for the election. Our clerks are fantastic, we're going to make sure that we have the best, most secure election in Dodge County history. And one last thing, Mr. President, the last time I met you, I was with 200 sheriffs standing on the South Lawn. And you came out and you shook a bunch of sheriffs' hands, and you didn't quite get to me. Wait, so I did one thing that I knew would get his attention, and he'll do again here shortly as soon as I say it. I shouted, and he walked over to me afterwards, "Best president ever!"

From the moment Donald and I met there was an undeniable spark, there was something magnetic about him, his confidence, his charm, his humor, his vision. Our wedding was a beautiful affair, a breathtaking gown, a perfectly created menu by a celebrated chef and captivating live performances by Music Legends.

In addition, this evening, we have to send our prayers and support to all the families affected by Hurricane Helene. This has been the worst hurricane response by a president and vice president since Katrina, and this is simply not acceptable. Those people, I was there yesterday with North Carolina and Georgia, and I'll tell you — and by the way, the governor of Georgia is doing an excellent job, excellent job. But we have other people that aren't doing a good job, and we have to have them do a good job, but the federal government is doing a very bad job. They are not doing the job, and we have — we have death and destruction that we haven't seen maybe ever. It's a real bad one, and they have to get people there, because they don't have people there. They don't have the people. Kamala Whined and Dined in San Francisco, and all of the people in North Carolina — no helicopters, no rescue. It's just — what's happened there is very bad. They're offering them $750 to people whose homes have been washed away. And yet we send tens of billions of dollars to foreign countries that most people have never heard of. They're offering them $750. They've been destroyed. These people have been destroyed. The one young lady washed — you saw that with her son. I mean, pretty — I wish I never saw it, but just washed away — your son was washed away with the grandparents, and so sad. And they're offering — they're giving them $750. And think of it. We give foreign countries hundreds of billions of dollars, and we're handing North Carolina $750. If you want a president who won't even try to save you when the floodwaters are rising, vote for Kamala. She's not the right person. Look, you know what? If they were, if they did a good job, I wouldn't have run. To be honest with you, I didn't need to do this. I didn't need to. If I thought they were doing an even modestly good job, I wouldn't have run. But I saw right from the beginning, grossly incompetent, and I was right about that. And I decided to run, and we're doing really well. I was telling you about polls. We're way up in some polls. We're up in other polls. And we're the swing states. I think most of them have us up in every single swing state, including the great commonwealth of a place called Pennsylvania. And don't ever not call it a commonwealth, because I've seen people call it a state, and that's the end of them. That's practically the end of their political career. You've got to be very careful with Pennsylvania. It's that commonwealth. I haven't made that mistake. I don't want to, either. It was not a pretty picture. If you want a president who will stop at nothing to protect you and your family, I hope you're going to vote for a gentleman named Donald J. Trump. Have you heard of him? Together we will rebuild western North Carolina, rural Georgia, and every other state that's been so badly affected. That includes Alabama, Virginia was very hit hard, South Carolina was hit very hard, Florida, so many states, Tennessee was hit really hard. They were all hit. And we're going to work with them, and you know, the next president is going to be the one that really, once they get -- they've got to get this done. But once that happens, the next president is going to be the one that has to really help them, and J.D. will be there to help them. I know that.

We're honored to be joined tonight by one of the people who is going to help us build this Incredible future and he is a truly incredible guy and I don't say that that often He's a great gentleman, he's done such an unbelievable job for North Carolina for Georgia for Alabama for Florida for Tennessee His name is Elon Musk He saved free speech he created So many different great things where the where is he come on up here Elon he created the first major American car company and generations and his rocket company is the only reason we can now send American astronauts into space Take over a lot. Yes take Hi everyone As you can see I'm not just mag I'm dark mega well, first of all, I want to say what an honor it is to be here and You know the true test of someone's character is how they behave under fire And we had one president who couldn't climb a flight of stairs and Another who was fist-pumping after getting shot Fight fight fight blood coming down the face now America is the home of the brave And there's no true there's no true attest encourage under fire So that who do you want representing America? Yeah absolutely And I think I think this this this election I think it's the most important election of our lifetime This is this is no ordinary election The other side wants to take away your freedom of speech they want to take away your right to bear arms That they want to it's we're they want to take away your right to vote effectively You got 14 states now that that don't require voter ID California California where I used to live Is just just passed a law banning voter ID for voting? Hi, I still can't believe that's real So how you're supposed to have a good proper election if there's no ID is just meaningless and and and and free speech free speech is the bedrock of democracy and If people don't know what's what's going on if they don't know the truth How can you how can you make an informed vote you must have free speech in order to have democracy? That's why it's the first amendment and The and the and the second amendment is there to ensure that we have the first amendment President Trump must win to preserve the Constitution. He must win to preserve democracy in America Yes It this this is this is a must-win situation must win So I have I have one one ask for everyone in the audience everyone who watches this video any everyone in the live stream There's this one request. It's very important register to vote Okay, and and get everyone you know and everyone you don't know Drag them to register to vote. There's only two days left to register to vote in, Georgia and, Arizona 48 hours Like text people now now And then make sure they actually do vote If they don't This will be the last election. That's my prediction Nothing's more important. Nothing's more important So get everyone you know everyone so speaking to people out there everyone the crowd I think is already convinced but For people out there that are watching the video watching the live stream You need to get everyone you know At work your friends family tech techs groups your social media everything get them to register to vote right now only two days left For Georgia and Arizona only a couple weeks left in Pennsylvania and and if they're not raised to the vote doesn't matter at that point Register to but I'm being repetitive for a reason Okay so Nothing is more important A lot of people think maybe the vote doesn't count. Well, it does Okay, it does it matters and this election could be decided by a thousand votes 500 votes It's a tiny margin so Get everyone you know to register to vote. I believe that's what swap the boat calm I believe that's the site if you and double check that your registration is good. Don't take it for granted I'm just being repetitive about this point because it is the one take away more than anything That will matter is getting those registrations and then and then getting everyone, you know to actually vote That is what will decide this election especially in Pennsylvania So so thank you and honestly you want to just be a pest just Be a pest to everyone, you know people on the street everywhere vote vote vote fight fight fight vote vote What a great guy and he'd rather be making rocket ships because he'd really rather do that Nobody better. I think he's got 90% of the Rockets that go up, but Elon thank you very much incredible incredible. What do you says is true what he says is true, you know

So, 12 weeks ago, we all took a bullet for America, and all we are all asking is that everyone goes out and votes. We got to win. We can't let this happen to our country. We can't take another four years like this. We won't have a country left. We're not going to have a country left. And all of this will be for nothing if you don't get out and vote. It will all be for nothing. We will have talked about it. And if we do it, it'll be the greatest achievement, I think, in the history of politics for all of us for this age, because we're going to change our country around and fast. We're going to do things that nobody thought were possible, and we're going to do them fast. So, Pennsylvania, it's time to stand up for America and a time to save our country. This is really about saving our country. It's never been like this. When you look at the crime, look at the crime. Look at the people that are coming in, murderers, 13,099 murders, let in over the last short period of time, murderers that have been released from penitentiaries, prisons, jails, released into our country. Crime rates all over the world are down. They're taking their gang members and their criminals. They're taking their people in jail, and they're releasing them into our country. We can't have it. You know, we just can't have it. How do you get more simple than that? They're releasing murderers. They're releasing drug dealers. They're releasing gang members and criminals. Human traffickers, mostly they traffic in women, and they're releasing them all into our country, and they're emptying their jails, and their crime rates in Venezuela are way down because, you know, but it's not only in South America. It's all over the world, in Africa, the Congo. A lot of people coming out of the Congo in Africa. They're coming out from Asia. They're coming out from the Middle East, Yemen. They're coming out from Yemen. A lot of people coming out of Yemen, and they're known terrorists, and they just release them into our country from countries unknown also. They know nothing about the people. Go right in. These people are crazy, and we have to win. We'll stop it immediately, and we'll have to -- look, it will be a big deportation. We're going to deport these people. We're going to get them out of our country immediately, or we won't have a country. And if we win Pennsylvania, we will win the whole thing. The whole thing will be won.

We stand on the verge of the four greatest years in the history of our country. We can make these the four greatest years. We'll turn it around so fast that your head will spin. With victory on November 5th, we are going to redeem America's promise and unlock the extraordinary future that is just within our reach. It is now within our reach. Think of it, one month from today, one month. We got to get there. We got to get there. They'll drop all sorts of bombs, they'll be hitting you, JD, they'll be hitting me. These people, they'll hit and hit. But I think we've almost become immune to it, haven't we? We've become immune to it. You got a little dose of it, a couple of little doses. No, that's the only way, that's the only way they can even think about winning with open borders. Who wants open borders? Who wants men playing in women's sports? Who wants sex change operations for illegal aliens in holding bins? No, I don't think so. We will begin a new era of soaring income, skyrocketing wealth, millions and millions of new jobs, and a booming middle class. We're going to boom like we've never boomed before, and we're going to unleash a manufacturing renaissance right here in Pennsylvania, including fracking like we've never fracked before. We're going to frack, frack, frack. You know, our opponent said, there'll be no fracking, no fracking. We'll never frack. We'll never frack. Then about, she started seeing poll numbers, by the way. And by the way, speaking of poll numbers, do you mind if I mention poll numbers? Because I only mention them when they're good. I never mention them. But one that's hit me really amazingly, Rasmussen, very highly respected poll. JD, it just came out, I don't think you heard this one, but this is a shock. You know, they always say the Democrats will win the Hispanic vote, but we've been creeping up rather rapidly, and Rasmussen is one of the most respected polls. I mean, Republicans would get four, five, six, nine, 10 percent. They just came out with a poll, 62 percent for Trump, and 34 percent for Kamala. I don't usually use their last name because nobody knows who I'm talking about. I go, Harris, Harris. They say, who's Harris? It's happening all the time. Who's Harris? And we can't find out who she is because if we do, our country is going to be in big trouble. We will live in a very beautiful city or town that are safe and clean with borders that are sealed and secure. And again, we want people to come into our country. We all want that. We need that. But you know what? We want it to come in legally. We're going to come in legally and love for our country. And America will once again be strong and confident and free. And we're going to have that. We're going to have it strong, confident and free.

Over the past eight years, those who want to stop us from achieving this future have slandered me, impeached me, indicted me, tried to throw me off the ballot, and who knows, maybe even tried to kill me. But I've never stopped fighting for you, and I never will, never will, never going to stop. Thank you. Thank you. And in turn, you have always stood with me, you have always stood with me. No matter what, you saw what was going on, you saw the hoaxes and the scams, you saw everything that went on. We are a team, we're a great team, I think, we're probably the best team ever in the history of our country, if you really think about it. We fought together, we have endured together, we have pushed onward together, and right here in Pennsylvania we have bled together, we bled, we've had three people that really got hit hard, two of them made it, great doctors, great doctors. They weren't supposed to make it, I wasn't supposed to make it. People said, my great doctor at Butler said, sir, you're the luckiest man alive, this would be a good time for you to go out and buy a lottery ticket. I've never seen anything like, I almost went out and bought a lottery ticket, I'll take it. And 31 days from now, here in this great commonwealth, and all across our land, we are going to win together, we are going to vote together, we're going to win the greatest election in the history of our country, maybe the greatest election all time.

And of course, there's one more hero who could not make it back here tonight because he is no longer with us, right? You know who that is, right, Cory? Our beautiful Cory. Cory is not with us tonight, and he should be. And we all miss him. He's become somewhat of a folk hero, I have to tell you. Who is with us is his beautiful wife and daughters. And relatives, sister. Please, where are you? Where are they sitting? There they are. There's a lot of people. It's not easy to find people in this audience. Goes back further than you can see. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Great family, great, incredible family. And he loved you a lot. And you know, his wife said something very beautiful. The public, a lot of people, all of us, a lot of people have been very generous, and she said, "I'd rather have my husband." That's a good thing to say. I'd rather have my husband. Cory Comparator was an incredible husband and father, a devout Christian, a veteran, and a proud former fire chief, very respected within the town. Everybody knew him. Few men volunteered to run into fires, but Cory was one of those who did. He ran into fires. I spoke to people that were with a -- this guy would do anything. He was brave, right, brave guy like you. And he was also a protector who put his life on the line for others, and he loved doing it. And when the sound of gunshots pierced the air on that July evening, Cory leapt into the fire one more time. In his last seconds of this earth, he threw himself on the top of his wife and daughters. He didn't want them hurt. He threw himself. He said he knew what was happening. He didn't want them hurt. And he was hit hard. He was hit hard. And he gave his life to shield their lives. Every father and husband in America hopes that if the time came, we would have what Cory had -- tremendous courage, tremendous guts, and he wanted to protect his family. And he did protect his family. At this time, it is 6/11, 12 weeks to the minute that the shooting began. I would like to ask everyone to join me in a moment of silence. (Singing) "Hallelujah!" (Singing) "Hallelujah!" (Singing) "Hallelujah!" (Singing) "Hallelujah!" (Singing) "Hallelujah!" (Singing) "Hallelujah!" (Singing) "Hallelujah!"

First, I want to thank the men and women of the U.S. Secret Service who threw their bodies on top of mine without even a thought for their own lives. They were on top of me so fast. They were on top of me, and there was not even a moment of doubt in their minds. You watch those tapes, not even a moment of doubt. I want to thank Secret Service, great, great people. They are great people. And in that moment, those agents displayed a devotion to duty that cannot be described. And they did it yet again less than three weeks ago when they really did a fantastic job. Another attempt. It was another attempt. We have an evil world. We have a very sick world. My gratitude to them is beyond measure. We also owe a tremendous debt thanks to the Secret Service counter sniper and a local police sniper who returned fire within seconds and stopped the shooter quickly and saved many lives. If he didn't stop, he saved many lives. He had a lot of bullets, a lot of ammunition up there with him. And we are -- I mean, just amazing when you think they did it so quickly without any knowledge of what was going on, boom. And had that not happened, it would have been a very different story. It would have been many, many, potentially many, many people. I also want to express our thanks to the Butler Township Police Department, incredible people. The Butler Sheriff's deputies, Pennsylvania State Police, and all of the other law enforcement heroes, as well as the emergency personnel and doctors, the medical teams at Butler Memorial Hospital, Allegheny General Hospital, who rushed me and rushed some of these very badly wounded people. They were wounded a lot of -- a lot of badly wounded people, and in particular two people, two people. And I tell you, they were very brave and great people. They were big Trump fans, and they still are. That means something. That was -- that was pretty amazing. You know, when I got up, I asked whether or not anybody was killed. I assumed that there would be a lot, because I heard the bullets winging right over my head. They said probably three. The doctors did such an incredible job. It was one. One great gentleman. But the other two have been amazing, actually. They've gone through it. They've gone through a lot. And when the crisis struck, they did really Pennsylvania proud. You've heard that expression, "Pennsylvania proud."

Returning to the field tonight is one of the really brave Americans who was hit by the assassin's bullet U.S. Marine veteran David Dutch. David, thank you. Thank you, David. Thank you, David. And David, we're thrilled to see your recovery is going well. Great doctors up here. I have to tell you, great doctors. Your courage is really an inspiration to us all. So I want to thank you very much, David, great, great gentlemen, great, great gentlemen. I want to send our love to someone who could not be here because he has just undergone a major surgery related to the shooting, a man who is really badly wounded, like David, James Copenhaer, because James was a wonderful man, a big Trump fan. And Mr. Copenhaver is out there watching us right now, but he's in a hospital where they did some additional work, but he's in great shape. He wanted to be here so badly, but he's in great shape, and we appreciate it, and we're looking to his full and complete recovery. He will have a complete recovery. Thank you. Thank you very much.

-Yet we are here this evening in record numbers. This is a big crowd. This is a big one. This is a big one. Not only to mark the triumph of American spirit, but over -- and you know that this is really, truly, in the truest sense, spirit over evil and adversity, but also to pay tribute to some of the best and bravest we have ever known. This field is now a monument to the valor of our first responders, to the resilience of our fellow citizens, and to the sacrifice of a loving and devoted father, a really great man. You know that. Forever afterward. -Glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory. -Troll! -Troll! -Forever after, all who have visited this hallowed place will remember what happened here, and they will know of the character encouraged that so many incredible American patriots have showed and know, and they know it at a level never seen before, probably.

-Exactly 12 weeks ago this evening on this very ground, a cold-blooded assassin aimed to silence me and to silence the greatest movement, MAGA, in the history of our country. MAGA. We love MAGA. For 16 harrowing seconds during the gunfire, time stopped as this vicious monster unleashed pure evil from his sniper's perch, not so far away, but by the hand of Providence and the grace of God, that villain did not succeed in his goal, did not come close. He did not stop our movement. He did not break out our spirit. He did not shake our unyielding resolve to save America from evils of poverty, hatred, and destruction.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the next president of the United States, President Donald J. Trump. While the things were gone, I worked for all my life, and I had to start again with just my children and my wife. Thank my lucky stars to be living here today, 'cause the flag still stands for freedom, and they can't take that away. And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that fright to me, and I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today. 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land. God bless the USA! From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee, across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea. From Detroit down to Houston, and New York to LA, there's pride in every American heart, and it's time we stand and say. And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that fright to me, and I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today. 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land. God bless the USA! And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that fright to me, and I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today. 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land. God bless the USA! 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land. God bless the USA!

-Tonight, I return to Butler in the aftermath of tragedy and heartache to deliver a simple message to the people of Pennsylvania and to the people of America.

Gonna win the election. Gonna win the election.

There are some moments in history that are forever seared into our hearts. Moments when time starts, when joy is shattered by pure terror, when evil seems to triumph over good, and our pride turns to mourning, all in an instant. The bravest among us suddenly fallen, patriots and presidents besieged, a nation stunned to its core, and in the silence of our grief, in the stillness of our prayers, we ask, "Why?" When we may never know, but in our nation's darkest moments, when all seems lost, when the cause seems to be unwinnable, when the night seems to never end, and hope is on its knees. We rise. When will they learn this man cannot be stopped, this movement cannot be defeated, and even when they mock us, even when they slander us, even when they count us out of the fight, we will not stop. We will not bend, we will not break, we will not yield, we will never give in, we will never give up, we will never back down, we will never ever surrender. My fellow Americans, our movement is far from over, in fact, our fight has only just begun.
