Video transcript
If you don't mind, I'll make a quick digression. Mr. President, have you ever seen the movie True Grit? - Yes. - John Wayne. - Yes. - So it was my honor to live under you and help get you elected four, eight years ago, and then I watched those four years. And I have seen what's happened in intervening four years to everything that was done with you, leading up to the calamity of Butler, PA. And I hope you don't mind me saying this, but you have true grit, okay? (audience applauding) Thank you, Jim. (audience applauding) Thank you, Jim. It is our honor to do all we can. I live in Montgomery County and Abbington Township, and the GOP in Montgomery County and Abbington Township is working every day from now through November 5th to get you elected, and we're doing it. (audience applauding) So thank you very much. I know I digress, but I honestly mean it, and my wife will add some more, but you asked about how we can help seniors. Mr. President, for four years you showed us what a strong economy looks like. A strong economy helps seniors. A strong economy helps people on fixed income. A strong economy helps people who are below the average amount of money or may be struggling, and we have them in our own neighborhood. What a strong economy we need is low energy prices, and I know you're all for low energy. We need an all of the above solution. We need nuclear, we need natural gas, we need coal, we need electrical coming from wind, and we need it from water and everywhere else that we can get it, but it's all of the above. That will lower our prices for food prices, gasoline prices, the prices that seniors and fixed income people pay in the wintertime, and basically it's gonna lower inflation, which is the tax of crypto's fall. We've had that before, we'll have that with you. From what I understand of the Harris Plan, it consists of two things. One is divide people, and the second one is raise taxes. That doesn't solve anything, and any economist will tell you, you tax things, you get less of it. You lower the taxes on things, you get more of it. And the other thing I'd like to say, and folks I hope you understand this, Tim Walz is the governor of Minnesota. Minnesota is one of only 10 states that tax Social Security income at the state level. So she chose him, so for all of us in Pennsylvania, we don't have that right now. What can we expect? That is anti-fixed income, that is anti-senior, and I'm afraid that that's what we may look forward to. And the last thing I'll ask you, 'cause I don't know the answer to this, what does 10 million plus illegal aliens coming into our country look forward to as far as the Social Security Trust Fund is concerned, as far as Medicare is concerned? How can we look at our own kids and go forward and say, we have any idea about it, 'cause nobody does? This is a catastrophe. So those are my thoughts. - Well, there's good thoughts. (audience applauding) And the only mistake that this great husband of yours made was it's not 10 million, it's probably 21 million, you know, which is, and that doesn't include the gotaways, you know, the gotaway, that's the people that just pour in and you know, they're just, they're all pouring in. And we're not gonna stand for it, number one. And number two, number two, you can't, and you know, the reason they come is because we say, we'll give you, I mean, they actually tell 'em, we're gonna give you healthcare, we're gonna give you this, we're gonna give you social security, we're gonna give you education. We have a community in Springfield, Ohio, with 32,000 illegal migrants, we're put into a 50,000 person community, and you can't get into the hospitals, you can't get into the schools, you can't do anything, it's a disaster, and it's all gotta, it's not sustainable, I mean, it's not yet a nice community, Springfield. And now it's, you heard about this, Mike, 32,000 illegal migrants, now they sort of made it legal by playing QT with the law, but they're illegal migrants, and it's just not sustainable. This is happening all over the country, in terms of pricing. What you're really alluding to is drill, baby, drill, because when we bring the energy costs down, everything's coming down, and we have more energy under our feet than any other country, including Saudi Arabia and Russia, and we were, as you know, energy independent four years ago, and now it's a mess, we're buying it from, we're buying tar, big bats of tar from Venezuela, and we're refining it, it's a mess, and we have the best energy, we have the best oil, we have the most oil, and we don't wanna use it, we wanna go and give money, you know, Venezuela is the enemy, and we now are making them a very rich enemy, it's not even believable what they're doing. They don't know what the hell they're doing, but we're gonna drill, baby, drill, we're gonna use ourself, we don't need anybody else's, and we're gonna open up Anwar in Alaska, which is as big as Saudi Arabia, they say, the biggest in the world, I got it open, Ronald Reagan couldn't do it, nobody could do it, for 60 years they couldn't do it, I got it done, and Biden comes in and he decides to not let it happen, I'll get that thing open so fast, we'll supply it to everybody, and we'll start paying down our debt, and all of those good things, but your costs are gonna come down, you bring energy, energy's really more than anything else who was there spending, but it was also energy, that's really what brought up the costs, because energy, you need it for everything, if you make donuts, you need it for the stove, you need it for the trucks, for delivery, you need, and we're going to have so much energy, and one of the pledges that I make is that we are going to have energy costs, which are very high right now, and that includes gasoline, we're gonna get rid of the mandate, by the way, the electric mandate for your cars, that's gonna come off, and that's great, you know, if somebody wants an electric car, I mean, Elon Musk gave me the biggest endorsement you've ever seen, and his cars are great, but not everybody needs to have an electric car, or wants to have an electric car, you're gonna be able to get hybrids, you get regular gasoline powered cars, but we're gonna bring your energy costs down by 50% within one year, by the way, it's gonna be, we can do it, nobody else can, because we have so much, it's right under us, even in New York State, they don't realize, New York State is sitting on a tremendous amount, and if they used it, Lee would, I totally, Lee would have opened that up in two seconds, they don't wanna drill for the environment, and the people in Pennsylvania, they're sitting there, they have a Cadillac, and the people across the line, the line is right here, and they don't have a car, and it's just absolutely, we have so much energy this country, we're going to bring down the prices, that'll bring down everything else, and you'll be in great shape.
