Tonight, this entire arena united forceful condemnation of the thugs who perpetrated hatred and violence. But the very Dishonest Media, up there withight cameras, [boos] so the i mean truly Dishonest Media and the fake media. They make up story. They have no sources in many cases. They say a source said, theres no such thing. They dont report the facts. Want toe they dont report that i spoke out force forcefully against hatred and bigot and violence and strongly condemned neonazis, the White Supremacy and kk. I opened called for unity, healing and love. It, they were all there. Did is i thought i take just a second. Thaneally doing this more anything else. Is.

Were closely following the unfolding ints charlottesville. This display of hatred, bigotry and violence. On saturday. Aking event. Fter the im condemning the strongest egregious display of hatred and violence. They didnt want to put this on. On initially. One day he talked, he didnt say enough. He didnt do it on time. Why did it take a day. He must be a racist. Day. Ok a dishonest people. I hope theyre showing how many people are in this room. They wont. Dont even do that. Show the crowd when theres disrupter or anarchist in the ram. They dont want to talk about the anarchist. Is me. It has no place in america, im hatred, bigotry and violence.

No citizen should have to fear safety and security in be society, no child should afraiding to outside and play or be with their parents and have a good time. This is me speaking. Heres further. This is on saturday. One. Irst i did this three times. Together asome americans with love for the true affection. Really . I say this so strongly. True affection for each other. I didnt say true affection for you and you. For all of us. They dont report it. They just let it go. Else, we must remember color,uth, no matter our creed, religion or political americansare all first. We love our country. Love ourur god, we flag. U. S. A. u. S. A. then i went on. Statement. First they said, remember they said, well, he wasnt specific enough. Specific . He more on my second statement i got really specific. Do itaid, why didnt he faster. Im telling you folks, i know bettereople probably than anybody. Lot of people have a problem with it. Them, ift happens with they doing a story about me, i false. s honest or if you reading a story, its like the failing new york so bad. Which is like post, whichngton i call a lobbying tool for amazon. Thats a lobbying tool. Or cnn which is so bad and goingic and ratings are down. Cnn is really bad. Abc is this morning. I dont want it much. Watching in the morning. Georgeve little talking to nikki haley. Hes talking about the speech last night. Got great review. They had and he talks about the speech i made last night that believe it or not got great reviews. They had a hard time. Timewere having a hard because we were somber, we were truthful, we were saying things and it really did it so he talked about it for that much, that he goes lets get back to charlottesville. Great. Ki was shes doing a great job, by the way. Heal oure have to wound and the wounds of our country. I love all of the people i love all of the people, i love all of the people of our country. I dont love you because you are black, you are white, because you are from japan, or you are from china, or you are from kenya or you are from scotland or sweden. I love all the people of our country. [applause] pres. Trump so i said by the way, folks, these are my exact words i love all the people of our country, we are going to make America Great again, we are going to make it great for all of the people of the United States of america. And then they say is he a racist . Is he a racist . Then i did a second one. So then i did a second one. [audience noise] pres. Trump dont bother, it is only a single voice, not a very powerful voice. Pres. Trump how did he get in here . He is supposed to be with the few people outside. How about all week they are talking about the massive crowds that are supposed to be outside. Where are they . It is hot out. I think it is too warm. They show up in the helmets and the black masks and they have clubs and everything. Antifa [booing] pres. Trump so on august the 14th, that was it, i said i love all people, everything. I figured, lets do it again, i will be more specific. I said based on the events that took place in charlottesville, i would like to provide the nation with an update. Because that was right after the event, the first one. Right . So, an update on ongoing federal responses to the horrific attacks and violence, to anyone who acted criminally in this weekends racist violence, you will be held accountable, justice will be delivered. That is what i said. Listen to that. I said that, but they dont show that. I said that. But they do not show that. They say, he was late. He was late. So i said, anyone who acted criminally in this weekends racist violence. Ok. Then i go we must love each other. Show affection for one another and unite together in condemnation of hatred, bigotry, and violence. We must rediscover the bond that brings us together as americans. Right . Then i said racism was evil. Did they report that i said racism was evil . No. Pres. Trump do you know why . Because they are very dishonest people. So i said, racism is evil. Now they only choose, you know, like a half of the sentence here and there and then they go on a rampage. And they put lightweights around the table that nobody ever heard of and they all say what a bad guy i am. Do you ever see anything . Then you understand why cnn is doing relatively poorly in the ratings. Because they are putting seven negative people. And they fired jeffrey lord. Poor jeffrey. Jeffrey lord. I guess he was getting a little bit fed up, and was probably fighting back a little too hard. In they said, we better get him out of here. Those are criminals and thugs. Including the kkk, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold true as americans. Let me ask you, can it be any better than that . In all fairness. You know, i mentioned that but to the best of my knowledge where there was a big problem, barack obama never said it took place because of radical islamic terrorists. He never said that, right . He doesnt have to say it. You know why . Because they have a double standard. Because the media is totally dishonest and they have a double standard. You never heard him say that. In fact, if you use the term you get criticized. With me, they wanted me to set it and i said it very clearly but they refused to put it on. Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of america. These are my words. This was on monday, august 14. You had saturday, you had monday. I was going to do one of these every week, but you would never get it right. In times such as these, america has always shown its true character, responding to hate with love, division with unity, and violence with an unwavering resolve for justice. Then i finished, i said, we will defend and protect the sacred rights of all americans. All is capitalized times five. Not just you. And, we will Work Together so that every citizen every citizen in this blessed land is free to follow the dreams in their heart and express the love and joy in their soul. Ok, now, i mean [cheering] pres. Trump so so they were having a hard time with that one because i said everything. I hit them with neonazis. I hit them with everything. I got the white supremacists, neonazis, everything. I got them all in there. Kkk . We have kkk. I got them all. But they are having a hard time. So what did they say . Right . It shouldve been sooner. He is a racist. It shouldve been sooner, ok. So it should of been sooner. So then, on tuesday. Tuesday, i did another one. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in america [cheers and applause] pres. Trump but they also said that he must be a racist because he never mentioned the driver of the car, who is a terrible person. Drove the car. Killed heather. It is a terrible thing. But they said i did not mention it, so these are my words. The driver of the car is a murderer and what he did was a horrible, inexcusable thing. They said i did not mention. And then they ask me, just to finish it, they asked me, what about Race Relations in the United States . Now, i have to say they were pretty bad under barack obama. That i can tell you. But they asked me the question. And i said, well, i think jobs can have a very big and positive impact. I think if we continue to create jobs like i have been doing over one million since ive been in office [cheering] pres. Trump way over one million. I think if we continue to provide jobs as i have at this level, think that will provide a tremendously positive impact on Race Relations. I do. I do. And, the other thing very important i believe wages will start going up because we now have the lowest Unemployment Rate we have had in 17 years, so you will see wages go up, right . [cheering] pres. Trump they have not gone up for a long time. I believe wages now, because the economy is doing so well with respect to employment and unemployment, i believe wages will start to go up. And, i think that will have a tremendously positive impact on Race Relations. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump wonderful. So, that was my words. Now, you know, i was a good student. I always hear about the elite. You know, elite. Theyre elite. I went to better schools than they did. I was a better student than they were. I live in a bigger, better, more beautiful apartment and i live in the white house, too, which is a really great. I think you know what . I think we are the elite. They are not the elites. So the point is, and i did not want to bore you because you people understand where i am coming from. But the point is, that those were three different. To newspapers and one news conference. The words were perfect. They only take out anything they can think of a hand for the most part, all they do is complain. But they do not put on those words. And they do not put me on saying those words. The media can attack me. It where i draw the line is when they attack you, which is what they do. When they attacked the decency of our supporters. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump you are on us, hardworking, taxpaying. By the way, you are overtaxed. We are going to get your taxes down. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump you are taxpaying americans who love our nation, obey our laws, and care for our people. It is time to expose the Crooked Media deceptions and to challenge the media for their role in fomenting divisions. And yes, by the way [crowd noise] pres. Trump and yes, by the way, they are trying to take away our history and heritage. You see that. [booing] pres. Trump and ill say it you know were all pros. We have a certain sense. We are smart people. These are truly dishonest people. And not all of them. Not all of them. Youve some very good reporters. Your some very good journalists. But for the most part, these are really, really dishonest people. These are bad people. And i really think they do not like our country. And i do not think it will change. That is why i do this. If they would change, i would never say this. The only people giving a platform to these hate groups is the media itself and the fake news. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump oh, that is so funny. Look back there. The live red lights. They are turning those suckers off fast. They are turning those lights off fast. [booing] pres. Trump like cnn. Cnn does not want their falling viewership to see what im saying tonight, i can tell you that. I mean, the advantage i have the advantage i have is that we do have a big voice. Twitter and social media, if i did not have social media would not be able to get the word out. I promise i probably would not be standing here right now, right . I probably would not be standing here. If i dont have social media, i probably would not be standing. Do you ever notice when i go on and i will put out a tweet or a couple tweets he is in a twitterstorm again i dont do twitterstorms. I will put out a little tweet about i will be with the veterans today. And they will say, donald trump is in a twitterstorm. These are sick people. You know what i do not understand . You would think you would think they would want to make our country great again. And, i honestly, honestly do not believe they do. I believe they dont. If you want to discover the story of the division in our country, look no further than the fake news and the Crooked Media. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump which would rather get ratings and clicks than tell the truth. I mean, the New York Times has written stories. How about this . The New York Times essentially apologized when i won because their coverage was so bad. And it was so wrong, and they were losing so many subscribers that they practically apologized. I would say they did. Like sarah sheriff joe . [cheeers] [applause] so was sheriff joe convicted for doing his job . [cheers] he should have had a jury. But you know what . I will make a prediction. I think he will do just fine. Ok . [cheers] tonight,t do it because i do not want to cause any controversy. Is that ok . All right . Joe can feel good. The people of arizona know the deadly and heartbreaking cause is of illegal immigration. The drugs, the gangs, the crisis smuggling and trafficking. , we are throwing them out so fast. We are liberating towns out of long island. Andyou imagine, in this day age, we are liberating towns. This is like from a different age. We are taking these people but they do not shoot people, because it is too fast and not painful. They cut them into little pieces. These are animals. We are getting them out of here. We are throwing them in jail. We are liberating our towns. It. Have seen you have lived it. And you elected me to put a stop to it. We are doing a phenomenal job of putting a stop to it, that i can tell you. After years of defending other borders, we are finally defending our own borders. And we are showing compassion for the struggling American Workers, who are now starting to see the light, because plants are coming pouring back into our country. And, by the way, we are doing a lot of good work on that. And, a lot of people are coming back in. Let foxconn, they make the iphones, as you know, for apple. So many countries are building now in our country. Including the auto companies, who are coming back. Years of uncontrolled immigration have placed enormous pressure on the jobs and wages of working families, and they put great burdens on local schools and hospitals. While this may be good for a handful of special interests, it is bad for working people of all backgrounds all throughout our country. We want every American Community to succeed, including our immigrant community. But they cannot do that if we do not control our borders. [cheers] [applause] earlier today, i visited with the incredible men and women of i. C. E. And the Border Patrol during a visit. I was over at the yuma sector. It was hot. Like, 115 degrees. I am out signing autographs for an hour. I was there. That was a hot day. You learn if you are in shape if you can do that, believe me. They actually told me, actually, sir, it is relatively cool today. Can you believe that . But it was great. But i met with the Border Patrol. I met with i. C. E. These are incredible people, the jobs they do. [cheers] [applause] in fact, general kelly, who was in charge of homeland security, where people coming in down 78 and almost 80 , he did so good, i made him my chief of staff. Right . That made sense. John. Where is john . Where is he . Wheres general kelly . Get him out here. He is great. He is doing a great job. We did a lot. Before anything happened, we did a lot. We respect and cherish our i. C. E. Officers and our Border Patrol agents, and we respect and cherish our Police Officers and firemen and all of our uniformed services. But, during that visit, i heard firsthand from the frontline agents about the security threats they confront each and every day, and i pledged my resolve to them, and all of you, to keep our country safe. All around the nation, i have spent time with the wonderful americans whose children were killed for the simple reason that our government failed to enforce our immigration laws, already existing laws. And, i promised these families that the death of their loved ones will not have been in vain. I promised them. I know so many of them. [cheers] one by one, were finding the gang members. The drug dealers. And the criminals who prey on our people. We are throwing them out of the country or were putting them the hell, fast, in jail. [cheers] [applause] were cracking down on the sanctuary cities that shield criminal aliens. Finally. [cheers] [applause] and we are building a wall on the southern border, which is absolutely necessary. [applause] [cheers] [chanting] build that wall. Now the obstructionist democrats would like as not to do it, but believe me, we have to close down that government. We are building that well. Wall. Let me be very clear to democrats in congress, who oppose the border wall and stand in the way of border security. You are putting all of americas safety at risk. You are doing that. You are doing that. Again, the Border Patrol today i said, how important is the wall to some of the folks . I met with a lot of them. They looked at me, they said it is vital. It is vital. It is so vital. And, you know, we have walls. I do not know if you know we are already starting to fix a lot of the walls we already have. Because we dont have to rebuild them. Can see walls that you through, in a sense. We want to see what is on the other side we are fixing a lot of them. I said to them, what are we doing and how important his walls . And they said, mr. President you have no idea. It is desperately needed. Were going to have our wall. Were going to get our wall. And, that wall is also going to help us very importantly with the drug problem and the massive amount of drugs that are pouring across the southern border. My administration will never back down in demanding immigration control. The American People voted for immigration control. That is one of the reasons im here. And that is what the American People deserve, and they are going to get it. [applause] [cheers] pres. Trump so, you could pressure but believe me one way or the other, were going to get that wall. Immigration security is also a matter remember this of national security. That is why we are implementing tough new vetting and screening protocols. To keep radical islamic terrorists out of our country. You look at what just happened in spain and so many other places. Nope, we are really vetting. We are really tough. Does anybody want me to be soft . No. Extreme vetting. I came up with that term. That is what it has to be. So i have a message for congress tonight. Your job it is to get American Workers jobs. That is your job. You need to represent them on the border. On taxes. On health care. One vote. [booing] pres. Trump as on every other issue that affects their lives and for our friends in the senate, oh boy. The senate. Remember this. Look. The senate. We have to get rid at what is called the filibuster rule. We have to. And, if we do not, the republicans will never get anything passed. You are wasting your time. We have to get rid of the filibuster rule right now. We need 60 votes and we have 52 republicans. That means that eight democrats are controlling this legislation. We have over 200 bills. [booing] pres. Trump and, we have to speak to mitch and we have to speak to everybody. And, i have to tell you. We have some great, great republican senators. We really do. And, they fought like hell to get that thing approved. They fought. They really did. They really fought. Now, even on health care because of reconciliation which you dont know, it does not matter. It is a trick. We needed 51 votes. But when you need 51 and you have 52 and we included the Vice President who always votes with us. He is the greatest. But you have no margin. But some of the best things in health care require 60 votes. So even when you say we are voting on health care, like across state lines, purchase across state lines, one of the most important things. I have been talking about it for two years during debates. It gives competition. Insurance Companies Come in. Your prices go way down. Arizona is a disaster in terms of the price increase of your insurance. 116 increase. You got to get rid of the filibuster rule. You have to go to a majority. You have to go to 51 votes. If they do not do that, they are just wasting time. All of the democrats in congress that is the only thing they do well. They do one thing well. You know what it is called . They have no ideas, they have no policies. They obstruct. That is all they do. Their word is we resist. They do not resist. They obstruct. That is all they are good at. That is all they are good at. That is all they do. Health care, they have 48 democrats. We got no votes. We got no votes. By the way, it wouldve been Great Health Care for arizona. It wouldve been great. So, the democrats have no idea. No policy. No vision for the country other than total socialism and may be, frankly, beyond socialism from what i am seeing. [booing] pres. Trump under their plan for america, your taxes will double or triple. Your services will diminish. And, your borders will be left wide open for everybody to come in and enjoy our country. [booing] pres. Trump obamacare is a disaster. And think think we were just one vote away from victory after seven years of everybody proclaiming repeal and replace. One vote away. One. One. One vote away. We were one vote away. Think of it. Seven years. The republicans. And again, you have some great senators. But we are one vote away from repeal. [chanting] pres. Trump but, you know, they all said mr. President , your speech was so good last night. Please. Please, mr. President. Dont mention any names. So, i wont. I wont. [crowd noise] pres. Trump no, i wont. One vote away. I wont mention any names. Very president ial, it isnt it . Very president ial. And, nobody wants me to talk about your other senator who is weak on borders, weak on crime. So i will not talk about him. Nobody wants me to talk about him. Nobody knows who the hell he is. And, now see . I havent mention any names. So now everybody is happy. But we are going to get rid of obamacare. I will never stop. One vote i will never stop. Were going to get rid of obamacare. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump every day we are keeping our promises. That includes our promises to our great, great veterans. Who is a veteran here . [cheers] pres. Trump it is getting better. It is getting really good. Nobody it has fixed it. Nobody has been able to do and remember, i have only been here for less than 8 months when they talk about obamacare, it was years. When they talk about hillary clinton, spent eight years [booing] pres. Trump eight years trying to get health care. [crowd noise] [indiscernible chanting] pres. Trump well, it is obvious that we won the state of arizona. Do you agree with that . Pretty obvious. And, we won it by a lot. I hear we are winning it by even more right now. But, if you think about it. Clintons. They spent eight years and were not able to get health care. Others spent a lot of time in court able to get it. Obama, what he did to get it. Including gruber. Did you see gruber got fired yesterday . He defrauded somebody or something. Something very bad happened. Something happened. But obamacare is gone, it is a disaster. It is gone. Premiums and other states are going up at numbers that are even higher than the state of arizona. Insurance companies are fleeing. And it is gone. So i believe. I really believe that the republicans, and maybe we will get a couple senators who think theyre going to lose the race on the democratic side, maybe. But we will get it fixed. One vote speak to your senator, please. Speak to your senator. We are reforming the v. A. To ensure our veterans get the care they so richly deserve. Including choice. Choice choice in other words, if you are sick and you are feeling sick, you dont wait seven days. We wont make you wait for your doctor. You go see your doctor and we will pay for it. Isnt that good . We got legislation approved everybody said was impossible. It is called v. A. Accountability. If somebody treats our veterans badly, we can fire them. We can say, you are fired. Get out of here. Everybody said everybody said we could not get it. They have been trying to get that passed for 40 years. We got some great legislation. Do everything the liars backed her when they say, but trump hasnt got legislation . I think we have got more in a short in time, seven months, i think we got more than anybody. Including harry truman, who was number one. But they will tell you we got none. So, we got v. A. Accountabilities so that you can fire people who are treating our veterans badly or who are not doing their job. Isnt that great . We have also obtained historic increases in defense spending to prevent and deter conflict. We believe in peace through strength. Were building up our military like never before. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump thousands and thousands of brave americans have paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Now it is up to us to preserve and protect their legacy. Last night, as you know, i laid out my vision for an honorable and enduring outcome in a very tough place. A place where our country has failed, afghanistan. This is a place where terrorists are trained. Where you have people that are not exactly United States fans. Can i say that . And i will tell you that what we are going to do with our incredible military. They are going to make unbelievable sacrifices and they have already made them. In some cases, the ultimate sacrifice. But we are fighting for them. Our war fighters deserve the truth they need and the trust they have earned to fight and to win. Fight and to win. And, you see what is going on in north korea. All of a sudden, i dont know. Who knows . But i can tell you what i said. That is not strong enough. Some people said it was too strong. It was not strong enough. But kim jongun, i respect the fact that i believe he is starting to respect us. I respect that fact very much. Respect that fact. And, maybe probably not but maybe something positive can come about. They wont tell you that. But maybe something positive can come about. Every american deserves a government that protects him. Honors them. Defends them and fights for them. And, by the way speaking of that. You have three congressmen in the audience. And your governor who met me at the plane. He is now inside, but he said, i want to spend my time outside on security. I said, i think that is a good idea, governor. But not that many people showed up, so i do not think that is much of a problem. And, you have a great governor. And, we have three congressmen. A friend of mine who has been so great to me. Where is he . Get over here. Congressman andy biggs. Get over here. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump thank you, fellas. Thank you. Congressman. Never let them go, folks. Never let them go. Dont ever lose them. Thank you, fellas. So, in washington, we are taking power out of the hands of donors and special interests and putting that power back into the hands of the people that voted for us. Ok . For us. The same failed voices in washington who opposed our movement are the same people who gave us one terrible trade deal after another. Who gave us one Foreign Policy disaster after another. Who sacrificed our sovereignty, our wealth, and our jobs. We do not need advice from the washington, d. C. Swamp. [booing] pres. Trump we need, right now, to drain the swamp. That is what is happening, too, believe me. Washington is full of people who are only looking out for themselves. But, i do not come to washington for me. I have led a great life. Ive had great success. I have enjoyed my life. Most people think im crazy to have done this. [crowd noise] pres. Trump and, i think theyre right. But i enjoy it. Because we made so much. I do not believe that any president i dont believe that any president has accomplished as much as this president in the first six or seven months. I really do not believe it. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump including including a Great Supreme Court justice. Justice gorsuch. I came to washington for you. Your dreams are my dreams. Your hopes are my hopes. And, your future is what i am fighting for each and every day. It is so important. Our agenda is the proworker agenda. We have accomplished historic amounts in a short time. We signed more than 50 pieces of legislation. They said, we have signed none. None. We signed 50. Appointed justice gorsuch. Nominated 31 new federal judges with many more on the way. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump so, importantly, we have aggressively canceled jobkilling regulations. And, we are unleashing jobs. Creating American Energy like we have never unleashed before. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump we ended the war on beautiful, clean coal. And, it has just been announced that a second, brandnew coal mine where they are going to take out clean coal meaning they are taking out coal. They are going to clean it. It is opening in the state of pennsylvania. The second one. [crowd noise] pres. Trump and the state of west virginia, which was way behind and lagging is now ahead in gdp increase. Second to the state of texas. How about that . West virginia. And, they have a great governor in west virginia. Governor jim justice, who just quit the democrats and joined the republican party. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump in the proud tradition of americas great leaders, from George Washington please dont take his statue down, please. Please. Does anybody want George Washingtons statue . No. Pres. Trump no. Is that sad . Is that not sad . Lincoln to teddy roosevelt, i see they want to take Teddy Roosevelts down, too. They are trying to figure out why. They dont know. Theyre trying to take away our culture. They are trying to take away our history. And, our weak leaders do it overnight. They do it overnight. These things have been there for 150 years, 100 years. You go back to university and it is gone. Weak people. Weak, weak, weak. We are going to protect american industry. Were going to protect the american worker. No longer will we allow other countries to close our factories. Steal our jobs. And, drain our wealth. We are building our future with american hands. American labor. American iron, aluminum, and steel. We will buy american. And, we will hire american. I immediately withdrew the United States from the disastrous transpacific partnership. Would have been a disaster. And, you know that one of the worst deals that anybody in history has ever entered into we have begun formal renegotiation with mexico and canada on nafta. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump and i must be honest. Ive been talking about nafta for a long time. I am sorry it has taken six months, but we have to give notice. You have to see this. We have to give notice. And after the notice is given you have to read a long time. Then you have to give notice. Then you have to give notice. We started two days ago. Bob lighthizer. Personally, i do not think we can make a deal because we have been so badly taken advantage of. They have made such great deals, both of the countries but in particular mexico, that i do not think we can make a deal. I think well end up probably terminating nafta at some point. Ok . Probably. Probably. But i told you from the first aid that we will renegotiate nafta or we will terminate nafta. I personally do not think you could make a deal without a termination, but where going to do it happens. Ok . You are in good hands, i can tell you. We are unleashing American Energy. And, i with the United States from the jobs killing paris climate accord. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump people of no idea how bad that was for this country. Great for other countries. Were like the lapdog. Great for other countries. Our country was so far behind. Since i took the oath of office, we have added far more than one million jobs in the private sector. Unemployment is right now at almost a 17year low. Wages are rising. The stock market is at its alltime high in history. And, Economic Growth has surged to 2. 6 percent. Remember, everybody said you will not bring it up to 1 . You wont bring it up to 2 . We just started. Those regulations we have gotten rid of and we are going to have some regulation but it will be sensible regulation. Those regulations are unleashing our economy. So, we have a gdp that is shocking. About two weeks ago was announced for the quarter. 2. 6 . Remember i said that we were going to try to hit 3 . We are already at 2. 6 percent. Maybe i will have to increase my offer. And, so many of those people. You know, the Economic Council . When it got a little heat with the lies from the media they sort of set, ok we will take a pass. Not all of them, but some of them did. But some of them did. I will remember that. They said, oh we will take a pass. People are now calling me. People who have been like, we will take a pass. Don, can we get together for lunch . Lets do it privately instead of through counsel. These people do not get it. They are calling and saying, how about getting together privately . They like it better. They say, why should i be on a council . That is the way it is, folks will stop that is what it is. To bring back more jobs we are committed to passing the first major tax reform in over 30 years. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump now, we need the help of congress, please. Ok . We need the help of congress. And, we really could use some democrat help. Were giving you the biggest tax cut in the history of our country. The democrats are going to find a way to obstruct. If they do, remember they are stopping you from getting a massive tax cut. Just remember that, ok . Americas crushing business tax is a massive, selfinflicted, economic wound. We have one of the highest business taxes of anywhere in the world, pushing jobs and wealth out of our country. That is why we are going to lower the tax on american business, to bring back those companies and have them come back to america. We want more products stamped with the letters made in the usa. We also want Everyday Americans to be able to keep more of their own money. So, for the Democratic Senators especially the ones where i won their states by 20 and 30 points, i really hope youre going to come over to our side. Because, again, when you have 52 republicans, if you lose like two, that is the end. You know what . As good as something is, it is hard to get 51 out of 52. So, i hope some of the democrats that are going to lose their election will come over and give everybody a big, beautiful tax cut which will be great for the economy. It is time to pass a tax cut for the middle class families. We will make america the best place in the world to hire, grow, and start a business again. We want to lift our people from welfare to work, from dependence to independence, and from poverty to prosperity. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump we are going to do an infrastructure bill. We will build gleaming new roads, bridges, highways, railways, waterways, all across our beautiful land. Our greatest creations. Our most incredible buildings. Our most beautiful works of art. Just waiting to be brought to life. American hands will build this future. American energy will power our nations future. We have become an Energy Exporter for the first time ever, just recently. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump and, American Workers will bring this future to life. We are the nation that dug out the panama canal, won two world wars, put a man on the moon, and defeated communism. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump we can do anything. We can build anything. And, we can dream anything. It is time to remember what our brave soldiers never forgot. Americans share one flag, one home, and one glorious destiny. We live according to the same laws, raise our children by the same values, and we are all made by the same almighty god. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump as long as we remember these truths, as long as we have enough strength and courage in ourselves, then there is no challenge too great, no task too large, no dream beyond our reach. We are americans and the future belongs to us. The future belongs to all of you. This is our moment. This is our chance. This is our opportunity to recapture our dynasty like never before. O rebuild our future. To deliver justice for every forgotten man, woman, and child in america. Freedom will prevail. Our values will endure. Our citizens will prosper. Arizona will thrive. And, our beloved nation will succeed like never, ever before. So, to americans young and old, near and far, in cities small and large, we say these words again tonight. We will make america strong again. We will make america wealthy again. We will make america proud again. We will make america safe again. And, we will make America Great again. Thank you arizona.
