00:00Thank you. Thank you, guys. I didn't get more people in Las Vegas than to come to the Harris

00:22for her announcement. It's pretty good. Well, my friends, in 97 days, we're going to take

00:31our country back and elect Al J. Trump president of the United States. God bless you. We got

00:42a Middletown person, and it's going to start in the great state of Nevada. God bless you

00:47all. Now, it feels like time to stand and still here. Politics, as a lot has happened

00:57in the last month, but just over a month ago, President Trump wiped the floor with Joe Biden

01:03on the debate stage, exposed a massive cover-up of Biden's mental incapacity, and saved America

01:12from four more years of the disaster that is the Joe Biden presidency. And during that

01:20same time, President Trump accepted our party's nomination with overwhelming support. He held

01:26one of the most successful conventions in history. He took a bullet for the country

01:31that he loves, and he didn't miss a single day in a row. Good hell of a president. And

01:40just imagine, my friends, just imagine what he's going to do with four more years, right?

01:46That's what we're going to get. Now, we're going to say a word about the media. I know

01:52we have some friends in the media back there. But after covering up for Joe Biden's mental

02:05incapacity and incompetence for three and a half years, now the media is at it again,

02:10this time gaslighting us on Kamala Harris's record and achievement. The same media that

02:20told us for three and a half years Joe Biden was Albert Einstein is now trying to tell

02:25us that Kamala Harris is Abraham Lincoln. Well, we know the media loves a good fact

02:35check, so here's one for you. Kamala Harris was the most liberal member of the United

02:41States Senate. She is a San Francisco liberal. She is dangerously liberal. And thanks to

02:49the people in this room, she is never going to be the president of the United States.

03:02We're not going to listen to the media's lies any longer, and there's nothing they can do

03:07about the fact that Kamala Harris owns every failure of the Biden administration over the

03:12last four years. He didn't know what was going on, so somebody was calling the shots, and

03:17we know it was Kamala Harris. And let's just tick through the list. As America's borders

03:22are, Kamala Harris unleashed the worst border crisis in American history. Ten million illegal

03:29aliens just on her watch have invaded our country, and it wasn't by accident. We know

03:34it was by design. During her first failed run for president, she told everyone exactly

03:43what she wanted, to decriminalize illegal immigration, to tear down immigration customs

03:49and enforcement, and open up the floodgates while giving everybody who came here free

03:54health care at your expense. Then, on Kamala Harris's first day in office, she went to

04:05work, not for you, but for them, and we should never let them live it down. They suspended

04:17deportations. They stopped building the wall. They reinstated catch and release, and that's

04:24how every state from Ohio to Nevada to California to Michigan became a border state. They just

04:30released people into our country. Sometimes they fly in first class and put them up in

04:36fancy hotel rooms, and you're paying for that too, trust me. And after bringing them all

04:43here, they proposed amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. She might as well have invited

04:48them personally to break our laws and come into our country. Now, here's a crazy fact.

04:58The chief of border patrol was appointed over a year ago, but do you think our border

05:03czar has even spoken to that person? No, not once. I served in the United States Marine

05:09Corps, my friends, and my brother and I would have called that a dereliction of duty. After

05:26all that, my friends, she has the nerves to question our loyalty to this country,

05:32mine and yours. Did you see that? Now, here's what President Trump and I believe about loyalty.

05:41Loyalty to this country is closing the border, not opening it up. Loyalty is safeguarding

05:51Medicare for American citizens, not bankrupting it by giving it to illegal aliens. Loyalty

05:59is protecting Lake O'Reilly, not allowing an illegal immigrant to take her life. Loyalty

06:06is protecting children from fentanyl, not inviting the drug cartels to deal it on our

06:11playgrounds. Loyalty is serving your country in the Marine Corps, which is something that

06:18I did. Loyalty has taken a bullet for this country, which is something that Donald J.

06:24Trump did, and Carla Harris wants to see the face of this loyalty. She wants our hope in

06:31America. This administration handed out work permits to 3 million illegal aliens who lied

06:50to claim asylum. They turn a blind eye while those fraudsters steal American jobs and undercut

06:57American wages. And if the fatal border czar wins, she's not going to stop until every illegal

07:02immigrant has the right to vote, which is going to destroy your voice in your own country

07:07to make room for people who shouldn't even be here.

07:10U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

07:30U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

07:41To all illegal aliens, President Trump and I have a different message. If you are here

07:46against the laws of this country, pack your bags, because we're going home in six months.

07:59It sounds so simple, my friends, but it is time to put the interests of American citizens

08:05first. That's what our leaders should do, is care about their own people.

08:11Now, I want to recognize, before we keep on going, I want to recognize a few incredible

08:15great Republican leaders who joined us today. All the way from Florida, the great Congresswoman

08:21Ana Paulina Luna, a great public servant, love to have her here. We've got Nevada GOP

08:31Chairman Michael McDonald. Where are you, Michael? Thank you, Michael. We're going to Reno after

08:38this. I think Michael's going to come on the plane with us, right? We've got ROT National

08:43Committeewoman Sigal Shada. Thank you. We've got our nominee for Congress in District 4,

08:53John Lee. And we've got a lot of great members of the State Senate in assembly. And I want

09:04to give a special shout out to a true American patriot. We talk about loyalty. Somebody who

09:10sacrificed more for this country than anyone that I know. And the next senator from the

09:15state of Nevada, Sam Brown. Sam, come on up here. The Secret Service may be open up. Get

09:32up, Sam. All right, Nevada, we're fired up for J.D. Panz, President Trump. I've got to

09:56tell you, Senator, you are a happy warrior. Have you guys ever seen some of Sam's songs?

10:02Is this Sam's country or what? I see President Trump and I see J.D. Panz on the trail or

10:13on the TV, sacrificing, serving this country. This is what leadership looks like. This is

10:20why I'm endorsing J.D. Panz as our next Vice President of the United States of America.

10:32You've heard me say this before. The words that took me from that place of having lost

10:37all hope on the battlefield as I was engulfed in flames were quite simple, but so powerful.

10:44It was, sir, I've got you. Now, trying to live with that in mind is my message to you.

10:50And I can tell you, as I look at President Trump and as I look at J.D. Panz and what

10:56they're going to do for this country, their message is so similar and resonates in our

11:00hearts, is they tell us they've got us. They've got us now!

11:19We're going to get this guy elected, right? He's a good one.

11:25I want to talk a little bit about politicians in this country who have sold out our country.

11:30And this is what I think has fundamentally broken what Donald Trump can fix. When multinational

11:35corporations called the politicians' offices, they traded American jobs for campaign cash.

11:42That is the story of my entire life. I'm almost 40 years old. Now, they never admit that,

11:47of course. They brag about trade deals and promise cheap consumer products. They call

11:53it globalization. And that's what it was. American jobs went to some other part of the

11:58globe. And if it's up to Kamala Harris, it's going to keep happening.

12:04She voted, even after it was obvious it was a mistake, she voted to preserve NAFTA, the

12:09very trade deal that sent American jobs to Mexico and turned American dreams into nightmares.

12:17And now she wants a promotion. I say we own the fire, Kamala Harris, in relation to Donald

12:22Trump.

12:30Now, my friends, I want the American dream as a goal for our children and for our grandchildren.

12:35You never hear people talk about the American dream anymore. Four years ago, you did, because

12:41things were going well. And just as Donald Trump brought it back when he ran for president

12:48before and served as president, he's going to bring it back. You just got to send him

12:52to the White House, right?

12:58So let's talk a little bit about what we believe in the Republican Party. We believe that a

13:03million cheap knockoff toasters aren't worth the price of a single American manufacturing

13:09job.

13:14We believe in rebuilding American factories and rebuilding the American dream, and we're

13:18going to stamp more and more products with that beautiful label, Made in the USA.

13:40I have seen in my own life the consequences of electing failed politicians like Kamala

13:46Harris. When Democrat leaders fail our citizens, it is what the Bible calls the least of these

13:53that suffer the most, and I know that because of where I came from and how I grew up.

13:58Now I stand here as your next vice president of the United States, and I am proud to do it.

14:10But it wasn't supposed to work out like that. I grew up in a family to struggle with addiction,

14:15and that's why my grandmother raised me. I grew up in a family to sometimes struggle

14:19to put food on the table. I grew up in a family where things were often tight and tough, but

14:26I made it because, first of all, this is a great country that provides opportunities

14:30to its citizens, and we are grateful for it.

14:34Now I also made it, of course, because I was raised by a tough old girl I called Mamaw.

14:44And I've heard so many stories about Mamaw from people all over my old hometown, and

14:51I've remembered things about Mamaw that maybe after 20 years you forget, but one of my favorite

14:56Mamaw stories is when I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. She was very proud of

15:01me. Remember, this is 2003, a time of war, and she was a little scared for me, and so

15:07she was pissed off at the Marine Corps recruiter. And I'll never forget when he came over to

15:12talk to her about what boot camp would mean for the family, she stood on the porch, and

15:17he started to walk up and she said, if you put one foot on my porch, I'm going to blow

15:20it off. And that was the woman who gave me all the opportunities that I've had, and I'm

15:27so grateful for all the strong women out there, especially the strong grandmas and

15:32the strong moms.

15:39So I've lived the American Dream. In fact, I'm living it right now with you all. I'm

15:43getting to spend a great time and having a lot of fun here in the great state of Nevada.

15:49But friends, the dreams that we have for our country and our families, you better believe

15:57it, they are on the ballot in November. And the way to preserve that American Dream, the

16:04way to fight for that American Dream, the way to build upon that American Dream is to

16:09elect Donald J. Trump the next president of the United States.

16:18Now let's talk about the contrast between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. Kamala Harris's

16:23vision is for open borders and closed factories. Kamala Harris wants a government that tells

16:33you how to live your life, and she wants smaller family bank accounts. Kamala Harris is promising

16:41widespread war while American citizens pray for peace. And remember, Trump delivered peace.

16:46Wasn't that amazing?

16:52Kamala Harris pledged to ban fracking, which would destroy the energy economy in this country.

17:01She vowed to end offshore drilling. She co-sponsored the Green New Scam. And when you fill up

17:07your car at the gas pump, maybe we should all just send Kamala Harris the bill. Is that

17:12right? I don't think she paid it, but we better try. That's right. Make no mistake, the terrible

17:21affordability crisis, higher groceries, higher energy prices, higher housing prices, it is

17:27destroying the American Dream and it is Kamala Harris's fault.

17:31Now, President Trump, of course, built the strongest economy in the history of our country.

17:41I'm 40 years old, almost. I'm sad about that, by the way. I turned 40, I think, on Friday.

17:50Happy Birthday, Kamala Harris!

17:56Happy Birthday, Kamala Harris!

18:01Happy Birthday, Kamala Harris!

18:10Beautiful singing voices, great energy. You've got everything here in Las Vegas. But remember,

18:24for 40 years, we had declining wages for workers. Under the Trump administration, we had rising

18:32wages for workers. And it's common sense. How did he do it? He delivered a giant tax

18:37cut for hardworking families. He rewarded companies that built jobs and factories in

18:46the United States of America and penalized the guys who were shipping jobs overseas.

18:52He unleashed the entrepreneurial spirit that drives American innovation. He inspired us

18:59all to believe once again in the promise of America, that if you work hard and play by

19:04the rules, no height is behind your reach.

19:13And Kamala Harris has broken, I think, that foundational promise that if you work hard

19:17and play by the rules, you ought to be able to live a good life in this country.

19:21Now, that's why so many Americans no longer believe that their children will be better

19:25off than they are. And I hate to say it, but if we elect Kamala Harris, they're going to

19:29be right. So if you're out there and you're striving to make ends meet, if you're scraping

19:36by instead of thriving, if your hope is dwindling just as fast as your bank account, help is

19:43on the way, and its name is Donald J. Trump.

19:46We need a president who is going to make this country wealthy again. We need a president

20:03who is going to make life affordable again. We need a president who is going to tell our

20:10great American energy workers, drill, baby, drill.

20:20We do not need a president who's fantasized that closing immigration and customs enforcement

20:26would make the border crisis even worse. We do not need a president who wants to turn

20:30our cities into sanctuaries for criminal aliens and then deport the police so there's no one

20:35at home to stop them.

20:40But the clock is ticking on Kamala Harris.

20:43Six months from now, President Trump will launch the largest deportation program in

20:48American history.

20:55We're going to end pension reliefs, we're going to ban sanctuary cities, and then we're

20:59going to finish building that beautiful Trump porthole.

21:11Kill Joe Trump! Kill Joe Trump! Kill Joe Trump!

21:19When rioters and looters remember that summer of 2020 burned American cities to the ground,

21:24Kamala Harris was trying to bail all of them out of jail.

21:30The criminals she helped free included an alleged knife murderer, a convicted rapist,

21:36a domestic abuser who later shot and killed a man.

21:40Isn't that crazy?

21:42Now she wants to end cash bail so that if you assault a police officer you can be out

21:46the next day.

21:50She also wants to confiscate firearms from law-abiding American citizens.

21:55In other words, she wants to abolish your Second Amendment rights even if she lets more

22:01and more dangerous criminals on the street.

22:03And we're not going to let her, ladies and gentlemen.

22:05We're out of office.

22:13I guarantee you, if Kamala Harris is president, all abiding citizens are going to struggle.

22:19They're going to be sitting ducks.

22:24But we're not going to let it happen.

22:27Every man's home is his castle and he should be able to defend it against anyone who threatens

22:33his family.

22:34It's a civil American castle and we're going to fight for it.

22:39And if you know the truth, by the way, that our police are heroes and we're always going

22:43to have their back.

22:44A vote for Donald Trump is a vote to the bat, the flu.

22:48And if the community is going to be able to understand that.

22:57Now...

23:03We're going to save a little energy because I want to introduce two of this community's

23:09finest.

23:11Nicholas Hoppus.

23:12Where's Nicholas?

23:14Stand up, sir.

23:15And Michael Goodwin of the Police Officers Association.

23:18Let's give him a round of applause for everything he can do and all those involved.

23:27Now together, we're going to save this country for every American of every race, color and

23:41creed.

23:42And it all starts with strength.

23:46Strong borders, strong families, a strong economy and a strong president.

23:57And of all of Kamala Harris's faults, the worst of all is that she has left this country

24:06weak and vulnerable.

24:09The entire world now knows that she helped cover up Joe Biden's declining mental capacity

24:15for years.

24:16And now our country is saddled with a president who can't do the job.

24:22And if you think it's bad, my friends, we've seen only what's happening when the cameras

24:26are on.

24:27What do you think Joe Biden's like when he's sitting in a room with world leaders?

24:34Our adversaries are licking their chops and the world is in disarray because of weak American

24:41leadership.

24:43Now anyone who is too blood to see Biden's incompetence or more likely too dishonest

24:48to admit it is not fit to serve as commander in chief of this country.

24:58And the Democratic bosses, without Democratic voters passing a single vote, have installed

25:04Kamala as their new nominee, or at least they're trying to.

25:07We'll see if they give her the boot.

25:12The media, which for years has said that Republicans are a threat to democracy, they're calling

25:17it a coronation.

25:18I've got a different word for it.

25:20I call it a coup.

25:24In America, my friends, we do not crown our leaders.

25:28We vote for them.

25:30Remember, in the 2020 Democrat primary, Harris dropped out a month before the first vote

25:35was even passed.

25:37She was so unpopular, she pulled in the single digits, even among Democrats, her entire campaign.

25:45She wasn't in the top three in her home state of California.

25:49We've got to give credit where it's due.

25:51Maybe we aren't Democrats, but the Democrats were right in 2020.

25:55We don't want a wacky San Francisco liberal serving as commander in chief.

26:00We don't want Kamala Harris.

26:08Her record of disaster is clear.

26:11500,000 kids have been trafficked by the cartels thanks to her policies.

26:16Hundreds of thousands of our citizens are dead from fentanyl thanks to her policies.

26:22Hardworking Americans cannot afford groceries or rent because of her policies.

26:30And my question to the American people is, do you want a president who is disloyal to

26:34this country, or do you want one who is willing to take a bullet for it?

26:38I think I know the answer.

26:42Yeah!

26:54I'll ask you a simple question.

26:56Do we want open borders?

26:58No!

26:59Do we want a bankrupt Medicare by giving it to illegal aliens?

27:02No!

27:03Do you want to defund the police?

27:05No!

27:06Do you want to ban fracking?

27:08No!

27:09Do we want Kamala Harris?

27:11No!

27:12And instead, in just a few short months, from Nevada to everywhere else, we are going to

27:18lead a great American restoration.

27:20We're going to bring strength back.

27:22We're going to bring common sense back.

27:24We're going to bring prosperity back to the American people.

27:27And it's starting in Nevada.

27:29That's on us all.

27:30Let's go elect Donald J. Trump, president of the United States.
