President trump please sit down. Get things done. Do. Dy gets it done like we i dont know, are we letting the media in . I guess we have limited media because of distancing. Some people think i did that on purpose. But we have been getting along with them reasonably well lately. I want to thank you for coming back, because you came back. This is a Republican Group largely, if not in all cases. They look pretty republican. Im not sure about devin. You are a republican, are you [laughter] arent you ent you are a republican, arent you . [laughter] we just left a republican we just left the ceremony celebrating 75 years, it was beautiful. It was windy and it was beautiful. And we have a great country. Unbelievable country. We had the greatest economy in the history of the world. No country had anywhere near us. And we had the best we have ever had, but we had the best ever in the world. China is a very good competitor, but we were doing much better than china. And that is before covid, before this plague came in. We were doing much, much better than anybody, best we have ever done. And we had to close it down. It was an artificial closing. We had to just close it down. Never happened before. We did the right thing. It is horrible, what has happened. It should have been stopped. It should have been stopped where it came from, which was china. It could have been stopped easily, quickly, and for some reason, they were unable to do it. I think they tried, but it got away from them, i guess. And so manyshame, hundreds of thousands of people around the world have been killed. 180 four countries. But we are going to build our country back, and build it back fast. This group of people, we all did it before and we will do it again. We created something that has never been seen before, and if you are somebody that likes history, and a think everyone in this room like history or you wouldnt be doing what you were doing, what you are doing, you would see that this, and he would remember that this was the year china was going to overtake us and the economy. And if you go back, you can see they were not anywhere close. If the right person sits in this seat, it will never happen. If the wrong person sits in this seat, it will happen in a few years or less. Can happen almost immediately. Where we in a position have to start all over again, and we will start all over again, and we will build something that was even better what we had to before, recognizing that so many people have died. So many people have died. That is the one thing we cant do anything about, unfortunately. If we did it in a different way, if we went herd, if we said lets wing it, we would have been talking about numbers that would have been unsustainable and done so and unacceptable. Today,k on television and you see body bags. You see mass graves. We may be talking about 95,000 people ultimately. We may be talking about something more than that. A low number,e 1. 5 million, so you multiply whatever number we are talking about times 15, it would not be acceptable. It would not. It is not acceptable now. Acceptable, let alone perhaps 100,000. So we are going to rebuild it. We are going to rebuilt it back as fast as we can. We are going to have an incredible transition, but transition leads to fourthquarter, Third Quarter i call it transition, we will start to see it. It is already happening. People want to come back. Everybody in this room realizes we have to come back, otherwise you have a broken company a broken country. You will never be able to do it again. You will never be able to build this miracle. It is america what we did, what all of us did, and what many people before us did. You will never be able to build it again. The people want to come back. You see what is going on at state houses all over the country, they want to come act. I think some people dont want it, really, to come back, for political reasons, which is sick. But the people, the real people, the people that want this to be great and great again, we can say they want to get back. Embers. Re going to have we are going to have fires. We are going to have things to put out that we will put them out. We learned a lot, things we have no idea two months ago, we have learned a lot over the past couple of months, and we are going to do a job like nobody has seen before. And i spoke with Angela Merkel today. I spoke with friend minister abe of japan. I spoke with many of the leaders over the last four or five days, and so many of them, almost all of them, i would sale of them, not everybody wants to admit it, but they all view us as the world leader. And they are following us. You look at what we have done with ventilators. We started, and we had no ventilators, nobody thought in terms of a ventilator. And i say it all the time, it is like building a car. And other countries dont have ventilators. And we became so successful at ventilators, building this very complex machine, very expensive machine, but very, very complex and have it right. You do it right, highly computerized, very technologically significant. So we built and we built and we they took other factories, factories for totally we haverposes, and now nine factories that are throwing out ventilators at numbers nobody can believe. There has not really been anything like that since the second world war, when we did the same thing with other types of product. And we are giving thousands and thousands away to other countries that have people dying because they dont have ventilators and they are not equipped to do what we get, so we are giving thousands and thousands of these ventilators are way too many countries that have suffered greatly, italy, france, spain, so many countries , and nigeria called, tremendous problems in nigeria, tremendous problems all over. So they are very happy. In addition to that, we are building stockpiles for ourselves so if this disaster ever happens again, we have plenty. Some of the governors we are working along great with, almost all the governors, but some of them needed ventilators. Now it is testing. And we have testing at the level nobody has ever done before. Every leader tells us the same thing. In fact, they want to know what we are doing. But you dont hear that from the media. You never hear that. But what is happening with testing is incredible. As if this as of this morning, we have done eight point 5 million tests. Yesterday alone we did 300,000 tests, and that is an incredible tribute. Now they have a test where it takes you five minutes. That was a test that didnt even exist. Everything had to go to a lab, was sent to a lab, so it takes a day, then another day, probably take you three or four or five days. Now you do a test, boom, you have it in five minutes. Nobody even thought a thing like that was possible. That is abbott laboratories. Now we have other competitive tests, even with that. So what we have done has been incredible. We are going to continue to do it. We are going into transition, and i call it transition to greatness. It is going to be transition to greatness. Because we are going to do something very fast, and we are going to have a phenomenal year next year. Third quarter transition, fourthquarters going to be good. There is tremendous, pentup demand, and next year we are going to have a phenomenal year. With that, i would like to go around the room and you can introduce yourself and say a few words, and after that the media will leave, and we will have some discussions among ourselves. Please, i think i know this gentleman. And by the way, kevin has done some job. He should have had the job a long time before he had it, but that is ok. We have a great man, and he is hopefully going to be a great speaker of the house. We have to get him. We have to get him there. [applause] and when i say hopefully, hopefully we are going to win, because i have no doubt he will be a great speaker of the house. We dont have to hope about anything. He has done a fantastic job. Representative mccarthy u. N. The first you and lady honoring what happened 75 years ago, that we had to end the tyranny of nazi germany. Virus came from a distant land. And just as we had to transform our country and unite, the leadership you are providing, ventilators, testing, 1. 7 million in one week. The ingenuity of this country will solve this problem. Not just solve and get a vaccine for us, but the rest of the world. I want to thank you, coming from california. I know i have a blue state. I know i have a governor. But the way you worked together, sending the navy ships to new york and california, building hospitals and a time of need. President trump thank you. Great state. Thank you very much. Elise . Representative stefanik thank you for all the support for new york state this has been a true partnership. The administration stepped up, whether it was ventilators or building the javits center. My district in upstate new york, people are eager to get back to work safely. Our tourists misses and hotels have been devastated. As we talk about the transition, our tourist businesses and hotels have been devastated. I was as we talk about the transition, our farmers are important. We have Dairy Farmers going through a crisis. Secretary perdue, we know you support the proc support the farmers and appreciate the support in new york. And we know you work effectively with democrats and republicans in new york state, so thank you. Theydent trump for farmers, we gave them 12 billion last year through tariffs from china because they were targeting us, and this year we are giving 19 billion to the farmers. That is more money than they have ever thought about and it is keeping them in a position of strength, and they deserve it for what they have gone through for 19 years. For years they have been ripped off. So we are taking care of our farmers. Thank you very much. Dan. Representative crenshaw thank you, mr. President , for having us here and working every day. Speaker pelosi would have america believe we can only show up to congress to vote every three weeks. That is not true. We could be working every day just like the administration is. I appreciate what you have done, working with us to protect our energy industry. America is in dire straits with oil prices the way they are. People are worried about that in texas. Your administration has been excellent on that. We understand how Important Energy independence is to our nation. Can be aning in texas model for the rest of the country as we step out of retreat and move to confront this virus had on and get people back to work. President trump it is interesting, because oil prices are going up in gasoline prices are going down. That is the best combination i ever hurt. Of people in the energy business, that is moving up but you look at gasoline prices, they are really coming down. I dont think i have ever seen a combination like that. It is going to be very good. A lot of things happening in energy. Jared, you should say something, because you headed up the ventilator problem this country had. The cupboard was bare. People dont realize it. They dont want to say it, but the cupboard was bare. We had nothing. And i can say that for the military, too. Dan would know that more than anybody, folks wellversed on military, but our military cupboard was bare also. We had obsolete equipment, we had old equipment, and now we have never been in a position like this. We have the best equipment in the world, all made in the end states. Thejared all made in united states. Jared, why dont you give a little talk about ventilators on why that became such an incredible story . And we are doing the same thing with testing and getting to a point where we are equally as good. Jared on ventilators, the stockpile continues to grow. Initially it was scary. We had a lot of states requesting numbers that couldnt be supplied. A lot of you were helpful in getting hospitals in your districts to give data to the federal government, because the president wanted to make sure that anybody in this country who needed a ventilator would get a ventilator. He saw what is happening in italy, people dying in hospitals and not able to get care they needed. The president said, i dont want that to happen in america. I will deploy every resource we have, get all the intel we have, do our best to make it work, and we were able to make it work thanks to your leadership. And overall, the defense production act, at the president s urging, we were able to contract with 11 electric companies. Last year america made 30,000 ventilators. This year we will make 130,000 in four months. We are at a place right now where we are doing well. A lot of allies in countries that are friendly with america are getting ventilators from us. We have more than enough to take care of all the american citizens. It has been a Great Success story. On testing, numbers continue to grow. We have all the supplies we need to do it. We have now educated all the governors. We have over 5000 testing machines in the city. Have the commercial sector and publicprivate partnerships and to president had us lead identify 5000 machines, making a ton of swabs, we have reagents, we have transport media. We have been working with all the governors to help with National Guard on how to better collect samples. So we are seeing numbers start to really rise. And when you look at the number in america relative to other countries, we are two times or three times the next number. So on an absolute basis, the job you have laid on that has been absolutely tremendous, giving tools to america to open counties on allow americans to get back to work. President trump thank you, jared. You have done a great job. Someday, people are going to appreciate it. They say, he is a relation. If he wasnt a good relation, i would get him out of here so fast. [laughter] when we have a problem, i say, get jared on it. Great job, jared. Smart guy. Here is another smart guy. About i thought more devin the last couple of days more than anything else. Because this guy would come in until people what was going on, and nobody would believe it because it was not believable. They thought it wasnt true. Be doing a takeover of our presidency illegally, and all the illegality that was going on. Angie was the first one, our superstar jim and all of us hand he was the first one, our superstar jim and all of us saw it cut was the first one, our superstar jim and all of us saw it. He deserves a pull in. They underway they ought to take away the bullet surprise from all these phony journalists and give it to him. I saw klapper, not a smart guy. How do you have it not a smart person heading up intelligent . You have a man who is not smart and he ends up intelligent . And it is possible what happened, he ran away with it. But your work was going on. And im watching, on television didnt he would say the worst things, and now i know. Dishonest,ff, corrupt politician, why this guy did not want these papers to be exposed, because all these people said under oath, where they would go to jail if they lied, they were totally, i didnt see collusion with russia, i saw nothing. But he was on television before and after, saying there was massive collusion, like putin was my best friend. Russia. O calls to we had no calls from russia. For years. And all of a sudden we have this great friendship. And by the way, getting along with russia is a great thing, getting along with putin and russia is a great thing. And stuff like this makes it impossible. And that leads to very bad things. Very bad things. But have to say that devin wasnt credible. He understood it. He understood it was a hoax before anybody else knew what was happening. And i have to say the people in this room took over and did a hell of a job, they had got. They had got like nobody has ever seen before. They had guts. Like nobody has ever seen before thank you. I would like to hear you say a few words. Nunes it ise unfortunate what you have what you have had to live through, and all of the people in this room worked so hard to get to the bottom of the russia ho russia hoax. Let me talk about the situation the country is in. We have had seven weeks of people being kept inside their home. We have learned a lot about the virus, but there is still a lot to learn. We need to know what our friends in asia were doing at the time this virus was taking off, and issues with the World Health Organization. And i believe with your new pic pick ofratcliffe john ratcliffe, member from texas, hes going to do a great job getting to the bottom of this, and the intelligence agencies have gone through some really dark times over the past three years. President trump rick grenell has done a great job to too. A great job too. John called up a couple of days ago and said, i did a great job but i dont know if i could top the guy that is in there now. He didnt incredible job, but is doing great now. We had an empty seat. We had an empty seat. I saw rick walking yesterday with thousands of pages of paper into the Justice Department. We didnt see that before, did we louis . Rick did a great job and john is going to be fun nominal. What the American People expect this transparency from our Law Enforcement agencies. We are well on our way to getting that. I want to thank you for bringing us back here, to show the American People we can be here and do our work. Democrats are cowering at home sensenow, and it makes no because we have learned so much. I could understand for the first few weeks, but we are learning. We have until lakers. We are learning new ways to treat this virus. And you have been in my district , in the San Joaquin Valley of california, the agricultural area. My folks up and going to work, because they have to feed this country, along with a lot of the folks around here. Arexpect the guys that cutting meat or working at the grocery store, and a packing plant, we expect them to go to work. We have to go to work as members of congress. I will leave it at that. President trump i got all of your permits necessary from the federal government for water. You know, we throw millions of gallons of water a day into the Pacific Ocean that comes from up north. How come allvin, those fields are barren, beautiful land, they are all barren and brown . And then i see a little patch on one side, and it is beautiful green, and you can see it and how come so much of it, 95 , it looks like a desert . And then you have this. He said we dont have water. He said, you mean you had a drought, . That was a long time ago, at the beginning, before i got elected, and i said, you mean you have a drought . And he said, we send millions of gallons of water out to the well,to protect a very, ive never seen anything so important. I think everything is important. To protect, go ahead, what is the name . Smelt. Delta smelt. President trump the delta smelt. It is doing well, but it has no water. And they send millions of millions is that why they send it there . Thank you for recognizing the impo
