[applause] usa. usa. usa. these are democrats that voted for trump. so far in anything they have gotten even more committed. but they had a man on this they had a man on this morning who was a democrat his whole life. he voted as a democrat. but he voted for i say us. he voted for us in the last election, 2016. and they said to him, so if the election were held now again, what would you do? and he effectively said man, would i vote for trump even faster. [cheers and applause] his name is gino difabio. get over here, gino. , yes. you know, anybody who knows me, friend of mine, people who love me, it's worse for them. but they know how it's been since president trump started running for the election. how much i supported this guy, how much i love this guy. he's the real deal. everybody else says we are going to fight for you, we are fighting for you. this is also the teal valley. every -- the steel valley. every one of these people love, sir. and i don't want to sound silly, but i thought, what would i say to the president if i ever got to meet him? this is an over the top moment for me. i thought i'll tell him something. thank you for justice gorsuch on the supreme court. right? that started it all. then i apologize, i said, mr. president, thank you for melania. could we have a more outstanding first lady? i'm probably going to be in trouble with my wife. but god bless that woman. the last thing i said, i didn't think he thought i would take this much time. i said thank you, sir, for keeping the promises that you made to these 12,000 people and to the country. my recommendation, sir, look what you can do in the bastion of the democratic party. i don't think there is anybody more than cuyahoga county more democrat than us. i would go back to washington and tell the democrat and republicans. i'm going to do my rallies. you have got the agenda. those people are voting for me and mine. pass my agenda. we are going on the road. absolutely right. thank you, sir. [cheers and applause] >> thank you, gino. thank you, gino. what a man! i watched him this morning. i said we have got to find this guy. he's a great person. always a democrat, now it's gone. i rode through your beautiful roads and i was looking at some of those big ones incredible job-producing factories. and my wife melania said what happened? i said those jobs have left ohio. they are all coming back. they are all coming back! coming back. don't move. don't sell your house. don't sell your house. i got a lot of credit -- the press gave me a lot of credit because a number of years ago i said this is the time to buy a house during one of my speeches. i said get out and buy. they did this big story. i said don't sell your house. don't sell your house. do not sell it. we are going to get those values up and those jobs coming back and fill up those factories or rip them down and build brand-new ones. it will happen. we are going to have it so that americans can once again speak the magnificent word of alexander hamilton here the people govern. political correctness for me is easy. sometimes they say he doesn't act presidential. and i say, look, great schools, smart guy, it's so easy to act presidential. but that's not going to get it done. i said it's much easier to act presidential than what we are doing here tonight, believe me. and i said, with the exception of the late great abraham lincoln, i can be more presidential than any president that's ever held this office, that i can tell you. it's real easy. but sadly we have to move a little faster than that. we'll never be behold on the lobbyists or the special interests. we'll never be silenced by the media. i want to protect america and i want to protect the citizens of america. your hopes are my hopes. your dreams are my dreams. i have had a great successful career, i built a great, great business. this is the only thing that matters. this is the on thing that matters. there is nothing left. your future is what i'm fighting for each and every day. here is just a small sample of what we have accomplished in just our first 6 months in office. and i'll say this -- they always like to say, well, i don't know. but i think that with few exceptions, no president has done anywhere near what we have done in his first six months. not even close. [cheers and applause] but they don't let you know. they don't want to write about it. unemployment last month hit a 16-year low. since my election, we have added much more than 1 mill jobs. 1 -- 1 million jobs. think of that. and remember i came in and some people said don't say that. i said what do you have to lose? i talked about the inner cities. i talked about the crime and problems and lack of education. i talked to my african-american friends. and i said vote for me, what the hell do you have to lose. remember that? [cheers and applause] the hispanic, the african-american, the inner cities. so now it just came out, african-americans and tine agers are enjoying their lowest unemployment since just after the turn of the millennium. that's pretty good. right? [cheers and applause] we have eliminated burdensome regulations at record speed and many, many more are coming off. and boy have we put the coal miners and coal back on the map. and all other forms of energy. we achieved an historic increase in defense spending to get our troops the support they so richly deserve. we signed new legislation to hold federal workers accountable for the care they provide to our great, great veterans. [cheers and applause] veterans accountability act. they have been trying to get that done for many, many, many years, even decades. and you understand why it was tough. but we got it done. our secretary is with us tonight, david shul shuhke. not having to wait online for days and days and days and getting sicker and sicker where you can be taken care of immediately. now, you go out and you see a doctor. [applause] to protect american jobs and workers i withdrew the united states from both the trans-pacific partnership potential disaster. and the job-killing paris climate accord. believe me. and if we don't negotiate a great deal with mexico and canada, we'll terminate nafta and start all over again. you remember when i was in youngstown, i said we'll either renegotiate nafta or terminate it. so let's see what happens. we are right now negotiating with the heads of mexico, good man, the president, and the prime minister of canada. good man, let's see what happens. we'll no longer be the foolish people. we'll no longer be the stupid people that can taken care of so badly by our politicians because they don't know what they are doing. we'll always work with our friends and partners, but we'll never again sacrifice ohio jobs or jobs from any state in our union to enrich other countries which has been what is happening to this country. [crowd chants "usa!] by the way, while we are on it, the iran deal which may be the single worst deal i have ever seen drawn by anybody, if that deal doesn't conform to what it's supposed to conform to, there is going to be big, big problems for them. that i can tell you. you are going to see that. believe me. you would have thought when that deal was made by secretary kerry, he may be the worst negotiator i have ever seen. you would have thought that iran would have said thank you, united states, we can't believe you gave us between $100 and $150 billion when they are ready to fail. we can't believe you gave us $1.7 billion in cash. do you know what that looks like? you would have thought they would have said, thank you, united states. we really love very much. instead they have become emboldened. that won't take place much longer. [cheers and applause] the great president from the state of ohio william mckinley. does anybody know hot hell he is? william mckinley understood that when america protects our workers and industries we open up a higher and better destiny for our people. we don't protect our people. we don't protect. trade comes in, goods come in. i was with harley davidson, a great company from wisconsin. who has a harley davidson? they came to the white house. and they said to me, yeah, it's tough going outside of the youth. we are doing great in the united states. but which we sell a motorcycle to certain countries, we have as much as a 100% tax event. i said tell me, when they sell back to us, mooning reciprocal, what tax do we charge them? the answer is zero. [crowd booing] those days will be over very soon. unfortunately like everything else, there are so many retricks on doing what's right -- so many restrictions on what's right for our country. wouldn't you think you could say, hey, you charge us 1. >> us -- you charge us 100%, and we charge you 100%. we can't do that. we have to go back to congress who by the way has made some very bad healthcare deals other than today. we'll be fools no longer, folks. we'll be fools no longer. [cheers and applause] every single president on mount rushmore -- here's what i do -- i asked whether or not you think i will some day be on mount rushmore, but, no -- but here is the problem. if i did it, joke, totally joking, having fun. the fake news media will say he believes he should be on mount rushmore. so i won't say the, i won't. but every president -- they will say it anyway, you watch tomorrow. trump thinks he should be on mount rushmore. isn't that terrible. what a group. what a dishonest group of people, i'll tell you. and you note funny thing is that you would think they would want to see our country be great again. you would think so. but they don't. some day they will explain it to me. every president on mount rushmore believed in protecting american industry. we have to protect our industry. and now we are going to start. we are reclaiming our heritage as a manufacturing nation again. [cheers and applause] bob kraft, the owner of the new england patriots. he came to the oval office and he brought with sheet with hip that just came out. manufacturing enthusiasm in the united states is at an all-time high. isn't that great? to me that's so great. because we are going to bring back our jobs, bring back our wealth, and we are going to bring back our dreams. and we are going to bring back once again our sovereignty as a nation. [crowd chants "usa!" ] since i took office we have cut illegal immigration on our southern border by record numbers. 78%. [crowd chants "built that wall"] record numbers. in fact the i.c.e. folks -- and the border patrol police, they are phenomenal people. they are working with general kelly. and just so you understand, we have already started fixing much of the good wall that's already there. we already started fixing. but we are breaking records and it was actually told to me the other day by somebody in mexico who is very high up, they say their southern border is getting very little traffic. nobody is coming anymore because they know they can't get through our southern border. so they don't even come. never again will america surrender the security our people. the safety our community. or the sovereign tough our nation. we are cracking down hard on the foreign criminal gangs that have brought illegal drugs, violence, horrible bloodshed to peaceful neighborhoods all across our country. we are throwing ms-13 the hell out of here so fast. [cheers and applause] you know, we are actually hard to believe we are talking about our great country. we are actually liberating towns and cities. we are liberating. people are screaming from their windows, thank you, thank you to the border patrol and to general kelly's great people that come in and grab the thugs and throw them the hell out. we are lib rating our towns and cities. can you believe we have to do that? [crowd chanting "build that wall"] earlier this we are immigration and customs enforcement conducted the largest raid on transnational gangs in the history our country. we are dismantling and destroying the bloodthirsty criminal gangs and we are not doing it in a politically correct fashion. we are doing it rough. our guys are rougher than their guys. [cheers and applause] i asked one of our great generals how tough where our people? how tough are they? he said, sir, you don't want to know about it. then i saw one guy come out, a customs officer who is a monster. and i said, so, general, you think i can take that guy in a fight? he said, mr. president, sir, i don't even want to think about it. i said you are right, actually. we have tough people. our people are tougher than their people. our people are tougher and strong and meaner and smarter than the gangs. one by one we are finding the illegal gang members, drug dealers, thieves, robbers, criminals and killers, and we are sending them the hell back home where they came from. [cheers and applause] and once they are gone, we'll never let them back in, believe me. the presented towards and criminal aliens who poison our community with drugs and prey on innocent young people, these beautiful, beautiful young people will finds no safe haven anywhere in our country. and you have seen the stories about some of these animals. they don't want to use guns because it's too fast and it's not painful enough. so they will take a young, beautiful girl, 16, 15, and others and they slice them and dice them with a knife because they want them to go through excruciating pain before they die. and these are the animals that we have been protecting for so long. well, they are not being protected any longer, folks. [cheers and applause] and that is why my administration is launching a nationwide crackdown on sanctuary cities. [cheers and applause] american cities should be sanctuaries for law abiding americans. for people that look up to the law. for people that respect the law. not for criminals and gang members that we want the hell out of our country. sanctuary cities legislation has passed the house along with kate's law, named for kate steinle who was brutally killed by a five-time deported illegal immigrant. we are asking the senate to vote on sanctuary cities and kate's law legislation. we have got to get it passed. the trump administration has the backs of our i.c.e. officers, our border patrol agents, and yes our great police officers, and we have their backs 1. >> backs -- 100%. we are going to protect them like they protect us. [cheers and applause] this month in chicago there have been more than two homicide victims per day. what the hell is going on in chicago? better tell that mayor to get tough. it's not working what they are doing. we are going to get criminals off our streets and make america safe again. [cheers and applause] we also strongly believe that our borders must always be closed to terrorism and extremism. we don't want radical islamic terrorists in our country. [cheers and applause] we have seen the total devastation in europe. and we have seen the murderous attacks from new york to boston to san bernardino. exactly one year ago last month i came to youngstown to deliver a major address on how my administration would protect our country from terrorism and radical islamic terrorism. we only want to admit those into our country who share our values. who love our people. and who always will love our people. we don't want people coming into our country who have bad intentions, even before they start. we also believe those seeking to immigrate into our country should be able to support themselves financially and should not be able to use welfare for themselves or their households for a period of at least five years. as we speak, we are working with two wonderful in the ordinary course of business, tom cotton, to create a new immigration system
