The first is just for the record and for those people watching on television. The Economic Club of Chicago and Bloomberg both invited Vice President Harris to a similar interview about her economic plans that she has declined so far.

Sir our next question tonight is from Angelina who I believe is right here if you want to come forward Angelina. Hi, Angelina Good evening, Mr. President Go ahead My name is Angelina and I was raised in a Philadelphia Democrat household a union household as a blended as a mother of a blended family my top issues are the same issues that face all Americans a legal immigration hurts black Americans Inflation hurts black Americans and dangerous cities hurt black Americans Like my fellow Americans my grocery bill has not gone down Everything is still so very expensive. What steps will your your administration take to help American families suffering from this inflation? So, you know it's such a great question in the sense that people don't think of grocery You know, it sounds like not such an important word when you talk about homes and everything else right But more people tell me about grocery bills where the price of bacon the price of lettuce the price of tomatoes they tell me And we're gonna do a lot of things, you know Our farmers aren't being treated properly and we had a deal with China and it was a great deal I never mentioned it because once COVID came in I said that was a bridge too far because I had a great relationship with President Xi and he's a fierce man and he's a man that likes China and I understand that but we had a deal and he was Perfect on that deal fifty billion dollars. He was gonna buy we were doing numbers like you wouldn't believe for the farmer But the farmers are very badly hurt the farmers in this country. We're gonna get them straighten out We're gonna get your prices down. But you asked another question about safety and also about black population jobs and Hispanic population in particular those two So when millions of people pour into our country, they're having a devastating effect on Black families and Hispanic families more than any others. I think it's gonna spread to a lot of other places I think it's gonna spread to unions. I think unions are gonna have a big problem because it You know employers are just not gonna pay the price they're gonna do and it's gonna be it's a very bad thing that's happening So they're coming in many are coming in from jails and prisons and mental institutions in sanus alums That's like, you know step above right a sanus alum and whenever I go Hannibal Lecter, you know what I'm talking about They always go the fake news. That's a lot of fake news back there, too They always mention, you know, it's a way of demeaning they just say Hannibal Lecter Why would he mention well, you know why because he was a sick puppy and we have sick puppies coming into our country I figured that's a lot that's better than wasting a lot of words You just say Hannibal Lecter We don't want to but but they always sort of very why would he say that I do it for a lot of reasons But I do it because we are allowing some very bad people into our country and they're coming as terrorists You know you saw the other day last month. They had the record number of terrorists I had a month and I love border patrol. Did you see they gave me a full endorsement two days ago? The border patrol and they're great and you know, they want to do their job. They don't want to let these people come in They look at them. They can tell they can they could look at somebody say good bad They say what's coming into our country now It's having a huge negative impact on black families and on Hispanic families and ultimately on everybody And we're gonna close that border. So tight. It's gonna be closed And I said the two things I'm gonna do First we're gonna close that border and people are gonna come in you want people to come in We need people to come in people are gonna come into our country legally, you know, it's so unfair You have people that are waiting on a system on a line and they've been waiting on this line You know how long for years 10 years 12 years and they study and they take tests and then and then people come I actually say why don't you just go on the just come on across. I tell people that it's terrible, right? I said go out You're incredible. They say what can I do to speed up the process? I say, you know what go to the southern border I'll see you on the other side. It's so unfair But we're gonna have them come in legally. You have to see what they have to do They take tests and you know, who is the first one here? What date was this? What is 1776 mean? What all the stuff and these other people are coming in and they're affecting the school systems and they're affecting the hospital system I mean if you take a look at what's going on in Springfield, Ohio a town of 50,000 people They've just added 32,000 people Illegal immigrants and we're not gonna put up with it and we're gonna take care of your costs are gonna come down and you're not gonna have a problem with because the biggest problem and I'm hearing it from black people and to a lesser extent right now, but it'll be the same Hispanic people and I'll tell you what our poll numbers have gone through the roof with black and Hispanic Have gone through the roof and I like that. I like that. I like that So we're gonna take care of it. You will be I'll tell you if everything works out if everybody gets out and votes on January 5th or Before you know used to be you'd have a date today You can vote two months before probably three months after they don't know what the hell they're doing But we're gonna straighten it all out. We're gonna straighten that out - we're gonna straighten our election process out - that's gonna be important So, thank you very much darling. We're gonna get it straight. Thank you. Thank you Angelina

Sir, tonight we have some special guests in the audience. We have a Gold Star family that is with us tonight. Mary and Charles Strange are here. Where are they? Where are they? Oh, here they are. Sir, they're behind us over here to the left. Oh, come on up here. They lost their son, Michael. Come on up. Come on up here. It's a little harder to get up since I got shot. They've made it more difficult. Perhaps that's the way it's supposed to be. Sir, they lost their son, Michael. President Trump, great to see you again, baby. How you looking? 16-6 on the Gold Star. That's beautiful. Under Obama, all 30 guys down. Did you want to say anything? Under Obama is right. Under Obama. Please, on behalf of your son. I would ask, Mr. President, my son was killed August 6, 2011, with 29 other men. It was the biggest loss of life in Iraq and Afghan war. It was the biggest loss of life in a single day in the history of America. 22 of them men were Navy Special Warfare. Till this day, we still haven't gotten any answers. I was wondering, I'm begging you. We would like a congressional hearing. So here's what we're going to do. In the first week -- let me have it. Not the first day, because I made a lot of promises in the first day. We're going to drill, baby, drill. We're going to close up the border. We're going to do a lot in the first day. In the first week, we will set up a commission. We're going to find out, because so many people in your same position, they want to know what happened. Why did it happen to their son or daughter? And we're going to do that within the first week. So you get ready to come over to the White House, okay? Thank you, Mr. President. I've got to say one more thing. I want to let America know, June 2017, President Trump and his wife had me and my wife bring 20 gold stars to the White House. Him and his wife stayed the whole time. They had food, drinks. They did a candle ceremony for us. President Trump stood up every time, saluted the gold star parents. (Applause.) That was both a celebration, a remembrance. It was -- it had all emotion, right? They were every -- they were happy. They were sad. They were devastated. But they remembered their beautiful boy, right? Yes, their beautiful boy. And we're not going to forget. We're going to find out what happened. We're going to do that within the first week. And you have my word, okay? Thank you, President Trump. (Applause.) Thank you. Mr. President -- What a nice couple. (Applause.)

Good evening, Mr. President. My name is Reed. I'm a single father and Iraq War veteran. I dream of owning a home for me and my son, but mortgage rates under the Biden-Harris administration have made that impossible. What can you do to help make homeownership affordable again? All right, good. It's a great question, and a lot of people have this question. First of all, it's too expensive to build the homes, and they're building them, and they cost a fortune, and 30 percent of the cost in some locations is the cost of planning and certificates, and all a lot of nonsense they do. They make you go through hell and it takes years to get them, zoning approvals, all of the approvals you need. We're going to get rid of a lot of that, but most importantly, we're going to get interest rates brought way down. We had interest rates at 2 percent, and now they're 10 percent, and you can't get the money. We had 2 percent, and there was plenty of money for everybody, and I call the home part of the American dream. We're going to create the American dream for young people, and for older people too, by the way. We're not going to forget. I mean, I happen to be a very young man, but we're not going to forget the older people. We're not going to forget the older people. By the way, no tax on Social Security benefits for the older people. I guess, you know, somebody said, "Oh, he's got a conflict of interest," because he benefits by that. I'll give mine up. I save tax, but no, we're going to do that for the older people. That's a big deal, because you've been eaten alive with inflation, and all I'm doing is getting you back to even. I think when we do that, we're probably just getting you. You know, you have fixed income, and you went up numbers like 30, 40, 50, depending on what they include. You know, they like to say it was a 20 percent increase. It wasn't. It was 30, 40, and 50, depending on what they want to include. So we're going to do that. But Reed, getting back to you, we're going to drill, baby drill. We're going to have so much energy, and we're going to bring prices down, because, you know, your prices are up. Don't forget, the damage is done. We have the worst president and the worst vice president in the history of our country by far. And let me tell you, she is worse than him. And he's actually, I didn't think I'd ever say this about anybody. She's actually, you take a look at she's more dangerous than him, but he's actually smarter than her. I never thought I'd say that. I never thought I'd say that. But look, we're going to get it down. We're going to drill. We're going to get the energy down. When the energy comes down, prices are going to come down. All of that prices, because, you know, when they say, oh, although they had very bad inflation numbers last month, you saw that very, very bad inflation numbers, despite the big, you know, they did this big drop, probably too big a drop. I'm not going to get into that. But we're going to get the prices down because the damage has been done. If we had no inflation now, such damage has been done. The highest, in my opinion, the biggest inflation in the history of our country, they didn't include a lot of the bad numbers. I'll give you an example on housing and on different things like crime statistics are fake. They were fake statistics. They didn't include some cities that were really bad. So the crime looked like it was just bad as opposed to being horrific. Jobs, 818,000 fake jobs, they added. And they padded the job numbers a couple of months ago so that they'd look better on jobs. 818, they were fake. They were fraudulent jobs. And they thought they'd announced the real numbers after the election. But we had a whistleblower or somebody that let it out. So they cheated us on 18, think of that 818,000 jobs. They cheated. You know, usually when you have those numbers, it's 9,000 jobs over. This is almost a million jobs off. It's not even possible. So we're going to bring things and read. You're going to buy that house and you're going to pay two and a half, 3% interest. And you're going to say, I love this guy because interest rates read will follow as the energy goes down. And I made another commitment. I made it over the last month. I've been making it. We have more liquid gold under our feet than Saudi Arabia, than Russia, than any other country. I'm going to bring down your energy costs 50% in the first year. Five oh 50%. And I better do it because I'm all over the place thing. I'm going to have problems if I don't get it done. But we have all the capacity to do it. Nobody else can make that statement. We have so much energy. We don't even use it. We get energy from Venezuela. They don't have good oil. You know, they have tar. They have tar that you have to liquefy. And you know where they do it in Houston, Texas, because that's where we have the plant. It's the only plant in the world that can do it. We do it in Houston. So for the environmentalists out there, this is not a pretty picture what flows into the air, right? But we're going to use our beautiful liquid gold. And when we get everything else down houses, everything's going to come. It's going to be beautiful. You're going to have a house. Just wait a little while. Give me a little while. Let me get in. One year from January 20th, we will have your energy prices cut in half all all over the country. (audience applauding) - Thank you.
