Washington journal. Announcer 1 the president arrived at his Maralago Club on friday night where he will spend the holidays. We will hear his remarks at turning point usas Student Action summit in west palm beach. 5000 students were expected. 1500roup has a presence on College Campuses and claims to be the Fastest GrowingYouth Organization in the country. Mr. Limbaugh thank you all very much. What a great event to be at, this is incredible. And i have to tell you, i just learned backstage that there are an incredible number like 1000 , High School Students here. [cheering] mr. Limbaugh oh man. I will tell you, i have been dying to talk to High School Students so much about what has been happening. I just want to tell you i dont , have time tonight, but i want to tell you, Climate Change is a hoax, please dont believe it. [applause and cheers] mr. Limbaugh whatever you do, i beg of you. Let me give you an example of how it is a hoax. Many of you were not alive for the 1995 budget bill. During that time the republicans , were being accused of starving children because of budget cuts in the school lunch program. There were not cuts, there were reductions in the rate of growth. As big a hoax as Climate ChangeClimate Change contains every issue the left wants in their bid to transform this country. So please, i know it is susceptible, they are scaring you and making you think the planet is not going to support life in 20 years it is bunk, folks. It is just bunk. [applause and cheers] mr. Limbaugh a couple of weeks ago, i am out playing golf, and i am a very powerful, influential member of the media, i am very recognizable. A guy comes up to me and says, you talk to the president a lot, right . I said yeah. He calls now and then. Well you tell him, hes got to , stop tweeting. You tell him hes got to start , acting more i said, why dont you tell him . The guy said, he doesnt call me. There you go. Folks. [laughter] says, then he says, it is getting so hard to defend the president. i said what . Hard to defend the president , its one of the easiest things in the world to do. President trump does not need to be defended. The people that need to be defending themselves are the people attacking him and the people attacking us. He does not need to be defended. How do you defend donald trump . You attack the people who are attempting to destroy us. They are trying to destroy you, they are trying to transform this country into something it was not founded to be. Thats how you do it. I find that it is so incredible that people think, oh my gosh, it is hard, it is so hard it is not hard. Folks, we are not in a standard political environment where the democrats win, and then the trade power. Democrats win, and then the republicans win, we share power, we trade power. We are in a war. We are in a war for the kind of country america is going to be. There is always going to be an america, but the war being waged now is aimed at overturning, overthrowing the principles of our founding. That is what the left is attempting to do. And look at how they say the president is to be defended. People need to be defending themselves, people who have run this absolutely bogus coup claiming russia meddling between the president and russia during the campaign. They are the ones who have engaged in meddling. It was Hillary Clinton who engaged in meddling with the russians in the dossier. The president does not need to be defended. The president needs to be supported. It is easy to do. He is make America Great, why . Why is make America Great so controversial . Stop and think a minute, who could oppose it . Somebody comes along and says i want to make America Great again. Why is that controversial . Why in the world is that controversial . Along,n somebody comes i think we ought to be America First again. Why is that controversial . Why do people oppose America First . Why do people oppose making America Great again . I will tell you why. The people who think make America Great again is not good think that it is a throwback to 200 years ago america. They think it is code for taking america back to the days when it was manifestly unfair, racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobe. It is not that. Make America Great again is about restoring the principles of the founding. America first is based on the solution, the solution that america is the solution to the worlds problems. The left around the world thinks americas the problem, and we are not. When america leads, when america triumphs, when america prospers, the world is greater than ever. [applause and cheers] mr. Limbaugh we have we really have one shot at this. And the shot that we have at preserving this country as founded is donald trump, president [cheering and applause] mr. Limbaugh it is an honor to know him. It is a privilege to be here tonight and to introduce him to you. Make him know how much you love him. The president of the United States, donald trump. [cheering and applause] and im proud to be an american where at least i know im free and i wont forget the men who died who gave that right to me and i gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today for there aint no doubt i love this land god bless the usa from the lakes of minnesota to the hills of tennessee across the plains of texas from sea to shining sea from detroit down to houston and new york to l.

Trump thank you very much, thank you, everybody. What a group. What a group. [applause and cheers] i also want to thank a true American Legend and a beloved national hero, rush limbaugh. Thank you, rush. [applause and cheers] pres. Trump you know i dont , know if you know it or not, he has got like 39 Million People listening. From day one he has been so incredible. Good times, bad times, he doesnt waver because he is tough as hell. He makes like they tell me he makes like 50 million a year, and that might be on the low side. So if anybody wants to be a nice conservative talk show host, it is not a bad living, i will say. But i have to say, he is a very unique guy, and he is a great man, and he has been a great friend. Thank you to rush, thank you. [cheering and applause] pres. Trump and let me begin by wishing you you remember this . Do you remember . They were trying to take christmas out of christmas, you remember . They did not want to let you say Merry Christmas. You would go around and see Department Stores that have beautiful,red, snow, ribbons, bows, everything there but they would not say Merry Christmas. They are all saying Merry Christmas again, you remember . [cheering and applause] pres. Trump i went through that during the campaign. They are going to say Merry Christmas again, and they are, and that is the least of it too. Because we have a lot of things they are doing they were not doing and we have to keep what we are doing please sit down. We have plenty of time on a saturday. [cheering and applause] pres. Trump see i was sleepy , joe, i would say it is a saturday night in ohio. We have plenty of time. He would not say it that way. They would say, no, we are in florida. We are in florida. He has only done that about four times, it is great to be in delaware. No we are in iowa. ,if you are speaking and you do that, it is over. You could be winston churchill, and the speech is no good. Once you do that, it is over. He does that a lot. There is something going on up there. [laughter] pres. Trump and there is something going on with the rest of them. They want to take away everything and destroy what we have built. But i am thrilled to be here tonight with thousands of proud, patriotic Young Americans at turning point usa Student Action summit. Incredible the job charlie has done. You are the fearless Young Leaders and warriors who stared down stare down the hatred of the radical left and racially fight for our liberty, our values, and our godgiven freedom. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump each of you is a fighter on the front lines lines of defending our way of life, and i am profoundly grateful to all of you the whole country is, and by the way, your crowds are getting bigger and bigger and bigger. [cheering and applause] pres. Trump i see on television where charlie had a deal going 4000, 5000ey had people standing outside, and i got a little angry because thats only supposed to be me, but they had thousands of people at one of the colleges where they could not get in, and you have that, you have that. We are sort of different. We dont do it quite we do it the nice way. But the truth is you are tougher, you are smarter, you are far more elite. Dont you love it when they say the elite. They are referring to the other. No, no. You are the elite. You are elite. [cheering and applause] pres. Trump but i want to congratulate my friend charlie kirk for mobilizing students at more than 1500 high school and College Campuses all across the country, amazing. [cheering and applause] pres.

He is a good, young guy. I am a little prejudiced. You know he is my son, but he is , a good guy and he loves his country a lot, and he loves you, so thank you very much. Thank you, kimberly, great job, kimberly. The radical left does not stand a chance against Young Conservatives who put America First. We are putting America First. You know, we werent america was not considered these people, what they were doing to our country was unbelievable. We are putting America First. And you know what, other leadership put their country first, why not . Are you going to put them second . They tell them because it sounds insulting when i say put america but i said you know what you should put your country , first. We put America First, they put their country first, we win every single time. We are joined by a man i have gotten to know and respect, and he is highly, highly this is a very capable person who has really developed a voice you really develop as such a young person and so new to this whole crazy political game, but i am new, too, dan crenshaw. I am new, too. Where is dan crenshaw . Where is dan . Where is he . You are great. Thank you. Thank you, dan. What a voice he has developed, what a voice. Thank you, dan. He did it quickly. Some guys are in congress for years and they dont have your 40 voice. Thank you. And i dont mean the voice speaking, i mean people listening to what you say. Thank you very much. Great job. And by the way, i have to say, while dan is here, what kind of great support did we have from those incredible congressmen and women this week . They got up, and they spoke, and they were fantastic. I guess the vote was like 196 or something to nothing. We had three democrats on our side, so we have to say it was a bipartisan vote. You call that bipartisan. Hey. No republican went to their side. We had like 195, dan, to nothing or Something Like that. 195 to nothing, you dont see that. You dont see that. What a great group of people. Come here, dan, what do you have . [cheering and applause] better be good, dan. [chanting] usa [cheering and applause] pres. Trump i said this better be good, dan. That took a long time. Is it dan, what in the hell is it . He said it is a no vote on impeachment day. [cheering and applause] pres. Trump i will save that, dan. I will save that, dan. Well we had a lot of no votes, and the senate now how about that deal . Where they had nothing. There is no crime, there is no nothing, how do you impeach, you had no crime, people said there is no crime. In fact there is no impeachment, their own lawyers said there is no impeachment what are we doing here . The world is watching. Crazy nancy, she is crazy. No, no. So now she says she has no case. She has no case, so lets not submit it. That is good, right . That is good. But you know what, it is so unfair, it is so unfair. She has no case did they look bad . They got up the same thing, the constitution. They are violating the constitution, totally. Totally. They are violating the constitution. In the meantime, our polls have gone through the roof. [cheering and applause] pres. Trump and the senate, like the house, we have done great work together, you know, today with judges, last week we did 13 judges, 13. We are going to talk about it in a second. But we are doing like no other party has done in the first think of it, less than three years, and what we have done. Last night was so exciting with the National Defense bill, the greatest military ever, ever. New jets, new ships, new rockets, new missiles, all made in the usa, folks. Made in the usa. [cheering and applause] pres. Trump but as we near the end of another extraordinary year, we celebrate americas incredible comeback, and that is what it is. Our country was down and depleted. Our military was so down and so out. I mean, i can tell you stories, but i wont tell you because it is embarrassing to tell you, but we have rebuilt it, 2. 5 trillion. Somebody said, well that is bad for the budget, but let me tell you, i am a big budget person, but when it comes to the military, there is no budget. There is no budget. [cheering and applause] pres. Trump there is no budget when it comes to the military. Somebody says, well they are , doing really badly in the war, we dont have enough ammunition, but we are losing the war, but you know we had a good budget , last year. No. You have people who think that way. It doesnt work that way. We are so powerful militarily now, especially at the end of another six months. This stuff is all pouring in. Brandnew jets, the most incredible stealth jets, the f35 fighters, the f18s, the f16s, nobody has ever seen what we are doing. Ships, submarines, i wont even tell you about the submarine the most powerful ships in the world. The most powerful boats, the most powerful weapon in the world is our submarines, and they are under construction, and we just hope to god that we never have to use them. [cheering and applause] we hope that we never have to use them. And we do. The way we wont have to use them is if the power is so great that nobody is ever going to say gee we learned that a long time ago. We learned that in high school. We learned that in grade school. But we will have and we have now overwhelming power and just hope we dont have to use it. Our economy is booming, wages are rising, crime is falling, poverty is plummeting, and our nation is stronger and more powerful right now than it has ever been before. [cheering and applause] pres. Trump and we have achieved more in this month alone than almost any president has achieved in eight years in office, if you think about it. If you think what we have done. [cheering and applause] pres. Trump we reached an agreement to replace one of the worst trade deals in the history of the world, nafta. Remember when all of the companies were leaving our country, charlie, and they were going to mexico and a couple of other places, frankly, but they were leaving. Leaving us with no jobs, no income, empty factories all over the country. You go to ohio, go to new england. You saw that, it was empty, everything was gone. Nafta. Remember a certain man said it was that sucking feeling. You know what that you remember who said that . Right. He is a student. It was ross perot. He said it has got that sucking feeling, all of our jobs, all of our companies were being sucked out of our country. We are replacing nafta and the brandnewster with a usmca, which is an incredible deal. Except the globalists. You have some globalists that dont like it because they think it is ok when a Company Closes its doors and opens up in mexico or another country. They think it is ok as long as there is a company someplace. I say no, no, i want the companies to build our products here. Deals nt need those i mean, these are people, they are called anybody here a globalists . We tried that. Not too many globalists in this room. I think frankly once they understand what is happening, there arent too many globalists. The only ones that would be opposed, and i think nafta passed by a number that was incredible. There were only 41 votes against it. For a trade deal that was incredible. We have a trade deal. The farmers are going to do so well. What it does i asked for one thing, i said i want to make it very prohibitively expensive for a company to leave our country, go to another country let me be nice go to another country. You know, 32 of our car industry has gone to mexico over the last 20 years. 32 . It was heading there. They would have all of it. That is about the end, folks. That is about the end. We are saving the American Auto industry, creating, and very importantly, cr
