-Let's look at the facts comparing Crooked Joe Biden and President Donald J. Trump. Under Biden, real incomes have gone down by $7,400 per family. Think of that. And under President Trump, yearly income went up, on average $6,000. Nobody's ever come close to that number. During Biden's first 30 months in office, just 2.1 million new jobs were created. And by contrast, during my first 30 months in office, we created 4.9 million new jobs. A record millions and millions more experts predicted, by the way, that we'd have a much lower number. We had a record number. Under Bidenomics, gas prices are again nearing $4 a gallon. You see what's happening? A gas is going up, everybody. Your cars are going to have to get smaller. And then they're forcing into all electric. Does everybody like the idea of all electric and you can drive for one hour? So crazy. These people are crazy. But gas prices are again nearing $4 a gallon. And for much of Biden's term, you have to remember, Americans have paid $5, $6, and $7 a gallon. And you're coming up, and you're coming back to those prices again. You know, we did a great job in filling up the strategic reserves. And now he's just estimating we have the lowest -- the lowest level I think ever recorded. And that's not meant to keep gasoline prices down for an election. That's meant for war. That's meant for military. That's meant for a major emergency. And they use it just to try and keep it down. But they're almost out. It's almost down right to the bottom. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. And if you look at your energy costs and your gasoline prices, they're going up. And they're going up very fast. And inflation has reached the highest level in half century. And mortgage rates are now pushing a brutal 7%. And they are going much higher. Americans now have to pay $366,000 more in interest payments just to purchase a house. So you purchase a house that's going to cost you almost a half a million dollars more in interest payments. When I was your President, the 30-year mortgage rate reached a record low of 2.65%. Doesn't that sound good? (Applause.) Doesn't that sound good? Inflation was less than 1.9%. And we had gasoline down to $1.87 a gallon. (Applause.) Under Crooked Joe Biden, the radical Democrat communists have piled over $10,000 of job-killing regulatory costs onto the backs of every single American household. And they did this in less than three years. By contrast, under the Trump administration, we cut the cost of job-killing regulations by an amazing record number -- $11,000 per household. You know, little things like your sink. You know, you buy a sink, and no water comes out because they have regulators on the water. Even if you're in a state where water comes out of heaven all day long -- doesn't make any difference. When you take a shower -- I like to have -- you know, I have this gorgeous head of hair. I like -- when I take a shower, I want water to pour down on me. When you go into these new homes where showers, the water drips down slowly, slowly. You have suds -- beautiful, nice, wonderful suds, a lot of money -- proctor and gamble -- all that crap that they say is good. Probably cost them about two cents, and they sell it for $10. But you can't -- it takes you 10 minutes to wash your hair. You know what you do -- you just stay in the shower about 10 times longer than you would have. It's the same. You probably use more water. I broke all that up. I opened it up -- your sinks, everything. They had dishwashers where the head of Whirlpool came to see me. They were in serious trouble in Ohio. And they said, "We don't have any water. They don't let us use water." He holds up a little glass, and he says, "The bottom of the glass is water." That's what we're allowed for -- washing machines and dishes. And I said, "That's crazy." So I immediately broke it up. We opened it up, and people got the greatest washing machines and dishwashing machines and everything. And we opened up the showers. We opened up -- we opened up everything. And, you know, you're talking about, for the most part, states that have so much water, they don't know what the hell to do with it. And we did a great job. He goes in almost immediately after he gets into office. He ended up putting the restrictors back on -- all restrictors. So now you can go buy a new home and you can't wash your hair. It's really a terrible thing. But we'll open up. That was one little thing that were really just a few -- it's just like with the electric cars, where, you know, in a short period of time, everybody's going to have electric. You know, that's great for China because they make all the electric cars. We have gasoline. They have all of the other minerals and everything else in their earth that are good for electric cars. They are going to take over the world with the stupidity. You know, we have something -- we have an economy that I had going at a level that nobody's ever seen before, and they were really concerned. We were always going to be caught by China in 2018. When 2018 came along, we were so far beyond them. I said that if presidents are smart, they will never be able to catch us. We were doubling them up. We took in hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes and tariffs. They never saw anything like it. They said, "This guy -- this is our --" Not one president ever charged them, for decades, 10 cents of anything. They were ripping us off, just like most other countries of the world. They were ripping us off. It's actually hard to believe how we survived, but, of course, you have $35 trillion in debt. And we were going to do so much with energy that we were going to pay off a lot of that debt because we were -- if you ever took a look at Saudi Arabia and some of these oil-producing nations, the kind of money that they make is astronomical. Well, we have more oil -- I call it liquid gold -- oil and gas, liquid gold under our feet -- than any other nation in the world by far. Did you know that? And we were going to supply all of Europe. We were going to supply everybody. We were going to make so much money, we'd pay off debt, and then we'd lower taxes again. We had the biggest tax cut in history. We were going to lower taxes still further. And then these guys get in because an election was rigged. They get into office, and what do they do? Let's stop drilling. Oil prices at the highest price ever, and they say, "Let's stop drilling." When oil prices are high, that's when you should say, "Let's drill and make a fortune, and let's pay off debt, and let's lower people's taxes." But they didn't do that. Joe Biden immediately shut down -- immediately. First thing, almost the first day, shut down the Keystone XL pipeline, surrendered our energy independence and future dominance. We were going to be dominant in it. We were going to produce more oil and gas than Russia and Saudi Arabia combined. And when I took over, we were in third place. When I left, we were long in first place, and we were like a rocket ship. When you look at the graphs, we have them, and I'd show them to you if you want to see me afterwards. I'll give them to you personally. But please don't say that, because you got a lot of people in this room out there. It's a lot of people. Congratulations, Drew. But now he's pushing the largest tax hike in American history. I don't know if you know that, but your taxes are going to go way, way up. President Trump got you the biggest tax cuts and regulatory cuts in history by far, and we achieved American energy independence for the first time in 60 years.
